chapter 240
240 – Permission – 1
In Hero Academia, there was no important main event after the final battle.
After the post-processing event, the final exam was taken and it was the end.
But I couldn’t do that. In the first place, this world only resembled a game and was not a game.
In other words, there was no such thing as date skipping.
“Part 1. How do I get approval for marriage? Let’s start the meeting.”
That’s why you can do things like this.
When the Dragon of the End was captured, most of the villains who were part of the Blade of Dawn died or had their awakened powers taken away.
Since it was the Blade of Dawn that had already attracted quite a few villains, their collapse alone greatly weakened the villains’ power.
Thanks to this, the heroes were able to feel a little more comfortable.
Fortunately, this does not mean that threats such as dungeons, ruins, and monsters have disappeared.
Normally, this was something I could have heard from Azazel, but he said that the fact that dungeons, ruins, and monsters appear in this world has already been decided and cannot be changed.
However, humanity that has overcome the apocalypse will be able to successfully overcome other problems that arise. I would say this to Yoo Cho-ah, but…
The one who can meet Azazel is not Yuchoa, but me. Last time, I went and told him that he had overcome the apocalypse and I listened.
He really liked it. She was so worried that now she just had to find a way to return to heaven.
“John?”
“Oh yeah.”
Without realizing it, I was thinking about something else.
After I came to my senses, I looked at the card in my hand.
Hero certification card.
The letter S was proudly written in the upper right corner.
okay. I reached S rank.
The youngest S-class hero.
Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah are still A-rank, but the reason I was able to become S-rank was thanks to the buff I did when fighting the Dragon of the End.
“Are you watching that again?”
“It was just a quick glimpse. And you guys don’t have much time left, right?”
By defeating the dragon of the apocalypse, the contribution is overflowing. All that was left was to gain experience through consistent training and combat, and then pass the test to become S-class.
Since I had no one to measure me, I was able to easily rise to S-class, but the others… hmmm. It must be hard.
“Anyway, back to the original topic… How can I get approval for marriage?”
“Before that, I need to prepare for immigration first.”
When I looked into the Middle East, where bigamy is allowed, they welcomed me with open arms. Any decent hero would have to go through screening, but what I did when fighting the Dragon of the End was known, and it was also known that I was the only buffer in the world.
Of course, monsters, dungeons, and ruins existed in the Middle East as well.
Therefore, they said that if you want, they will accept you as a citizen almost close to the royal family.
Since bigamy was fully possible at that level, it didn’t seem to be a problem.
“Oh~! Really~?!”
“But I don’t think Korea will just sit still. Wouldn’t they make a special law? He’s an S-class hero, and he’s the only buffer in the world.”
Perhaps thanks to my performance, the perception of buffers has changed a bit, and the prices of buff skill books have increased these days.
However, what is important for buffs is skill and mental power. Other than me, other people can’t see their own stats through the status window, so I may or may not be able to become a buffer.
However, you can’t teach buff skills to just anyone. Because of the limit to the number of skills that can be learned, if you make a mistake, it can ruin your future.
That’s why the association says they’re giving buff skill books to those who don’t have any special talents so they can learn them… I don’t know what the outcome will be.
But seeing as there hasn’t been any news so far, I guess I’ll be pretty busy for a while.
I stopped thinking and looked at Yoo Cho-ah. The way she was smiling brightly at me was pretty, so I smiled at her and then answered her words.
“Yeah. I’m going to ask later too. If you say no, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to ask in England?”
“Ohhohoho! I wonder if the British government will give us special recognition?”
“Hmm. Well, let’s skip that part later. It’s almost like it’s resolved.”
The important thing now is how to tell the Jin family and the Taylor family. The good news is that my mother approved me.
This is Old Man Breath, who loves his granddaughter and daughter-in-law. That’s why I think they’ll give me permission if I ask for it, but this is something I have to do.
“My father… would probably be against it.”
Jin Si-yeon spoke with a shocked expression and we agreed. It’s not like I was specifically picked on by Jinho and the old man. So, if you ask for permission to marry me, I think they will accept it without any major problems.
Of course, there will be a condition for him to become Daryl’s son-in-law.
But because I couldn’t achieve what I wanted, I had no choice but to clash head-on with Jin-ho and the elder.
“Hmm… I think it would be possible if I became the head of the Jin family.”
“Then how about doing it this way? You have to improve your skills to get to S-class, right?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“For that, sparring is essential. But Jinho and you are busy, so you can’t keep sparring with us, right?”
“yes.”
“Then, let’s ask old man Breath. If you get promoted to S-class, I’ll have a lot to say.”
The reason Old Man Breath has been busy so far is not only because of business management and hero activities, but also to obtain the Devil’s Heart.
I heard that the place is quite quiet these days because my mother woke up and the matter disappeared. In addition, quite a few aspects of business management were handed over to my mother.
Recently, I heard from Elizabeth that she was taking a leisurely rest, training, and focusing on conquering dungeons and ruins with her friends.
“Uh. Um. Do you want permission?”
“There is a way.”
I smiled and nodded, and Elizabeth and Yu Choa tilted their heads.
“What way?”
“listen.”
I told her what I thought, and after listening and thinking for a moment, Elizabeth burst out laughing.
“Grandpa, I think you’ll accept it. Okay, I’ll help you too.”
“No. No. This is something I must do alone.”
“Phew. I understand. But please at least cheer me on.”
“Of course. Now then, I told you to remove the ox horn as soon as possible. Shall we go right away?
I thought it would be better to get permission from Atlas Luten, so I told Choa Yoo, but she just smiled. It looks like he has no intention of going to the Luten family.
Atlas will be sad. Well, let’s say that’s the case.
“Whoa…”
Take a deep breath. After calming my mind as much as possible, I entered the mansion.
Today was my day off, so I went to visit him at the mansion and went to the training ground.
“Hahahahaha!! Are you here?!”
He was swinging his large sword as lightly as if it were a piece of wood, and as soon as he saw me, he laughed out loud. Now that I was a valued guest of the Taylor family, he treated me as if I were his own grandchild.
“It’s been a while since I saw you.”
“It’s been a while. So what brings you here? I heard you’re very busy these days? The youngest S-class buffer?”
Grinning mischievously, he took me out into the garden. When I ordered tea from the employee and sat down in the garden. I opened my mouth right away.
“I want to marry Elizabeth.”
“…With Ellie? Hmm… What did Ellie say?”
“I said it was good.”
“Then there is no reason for me to object. Ah, if you are worried about family issues, don’t worry. Our Taylor family is a family that doesn’t dwell on such things! Hahahahahaha!!”
How is the atmosphere good? So, shall we take this mood and talk quietly?
“Hahahaha!! But there are other problems besides the family problem. I also plan to marry Siyeon and Choa!”
“Hahahahahahahahahaha what?”
How can you change your attitude so quickly?
The old man who treated me as if he were his grandchild has disappeared, leaving behind a pure warrior.
“Did I hear that correctly? I mean, not only our Ellie, who wouldn’t hurt if she put it in her eyes, but also the Jin family’s Yeosik and Choa?”
The good news, though, was that absurdity preceded anger. I’m glad that he is a person who speaks better than his fists.
“Honestly, even though you are the benefactor of the Taylor family, isn’t this a bit much? Ellie allowed it? No, do you think my daughter-in-law would allow it?”
“Yes. I have permission.”
“Huh. Heh heh… this is true. I was the only one who didn’t know. Did you just tell it to my daughter-in-law from the beginning and move on?”
“That’s not true. Mother noticed. I never told you first.”
“Hmmmm…”
Old Man Breath crossed his arms and closed his eyes. I smiled at him and said,
“Even though it means bigamous marriage, I will not neglect Elizabeth. If I have the ability, my affection is infinite.”
There is no answer. Well, it’s worth it. It’s natural. So I opened my mouth to say the line I had prepared to persuade him.
And, the old man said it before me.
“good.”
“Yes. So I belong to the Taylor family… yes?”
“I like it. I can’t refuse what Ellie said she likes. Just remember one thing.”
“yes.”
“I will kill you on the day we cry.”
Suddenly, the good-natured smile disappeared, and the face of a vicious and murderous man appeared on the face of Old Man Breath, or rather, the face of my grandfather.
“That will never happen.”
“Looking at it, didn’t it ring last time? When we fought the Dragon of the End.”
“That… I hope you understand. It will never happen again.”
“Ha… Yes. Okay. By the way, our Ellie thinks so. Choa, well… Atlas will be disappointed, but he will still support him. But what about Jinho? I don’t think he will give permission easily, do you?”
Are you really worried about me now?
I stared at my grandfather, and he wiped under his nose.
“Because I was eyeing him as our Ellie’s son-in-law from the beginning. It’s very surprising that it’s bigamy, but… No, but does Korea allow bigamy?”
“If you don’t do it, I’m thinking of immigrating.”
“Then come to England. I know a lot of people in parliament, so I might be able to make a special bill. In any case, isn’t he one of the people who saved humanity from the crisis of the end? And if I marry you, I will become the next S-class. “Yeo-sik and Cho-ah will come too… there’s nothing better.”
I expected it to some extent. To the extent that my grandfather will come out favorably. But I’m surprised to see it come out so favorably.
“Of course, that’s not the only reason. Our Ellie’s eyes were always warm when she looked at you. Just like the way my daughter-in-law looked at my son…”
ah. Is that so…
There is silence for a moment. The grandfather, who was thinking about the past and his dead son, shook his head.
“Anyway, the important thing is your story. So, what do you plan to do with Jinho? I will tell you, the Taylor family will not fight against the Jin family. The reason they chose the harem is because they have the confidence to solve such problems. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right. I’ll have to figure this out. I just need your help with a few things.”
“what?”
“Can I ask you to spar with Siyeon often?”
The priority is to make her S-class.
