Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[(Side story) The identity of the boss]

“It’s strange. …”

In the past few days, So Shin-han felt like he was experiencing a lot of strange things.

‘No, it’s not just a feeling. ‘Something is really strange!’

Grumble.

When So Shin-han opened the restaurant door and entered, two people greeted him as usual today.

“uh. I’m here?”

“Oppa Shinhan, you came early today again.”

Daein and Lilith, who were sitting across from each other drinking coffee, turned their heads to look at him.

“…Good morning, boss. “Good morning to you too, Lilith.”

Soshinhan’s gaze turned to Lilith.

A beautiful new part-time worker who arrived a few days ago.

He was so friendly that he naturally blended into Lim’s restaurant as if he were a regular person.

…For your information, he has incredible cooking skills that are just as good as the boss.

‘If you think about it, it started from then. Ever since that terrible cooking competition took place….’

A few days ago.

Dozens of customers who ate the dishes of the two chefs, fueled by pride, were taken to the hospital and some suffered from hallucinations.

Among the victims were active-duty superhumans, so the Superhuman Inspection Bureau, which suspected biochemical terrorism, came out to investigate.

The Superhuman Inspection Bureau is a special agency that subdues superhumans and dimensional criminals that are difficult to suppress through police forces.

Each inspector was made up of high-level superhumans, and in particular, Inspector General Joo Sang-wook, known as the Reaper, was an object of fear to superhuman criminals.

“This is Joo Sang-wook from the Superhuman Inspection Bureau. “Are you inside, sir?”

“omg!”

A few days ago, when the envoy personally came to Lim’s Restaurant and handed out his business card, Soshinhan thought that the restaurant and everything else was coming to an end.

I did…

“Huh? “Aren’t you Team Leader Joo?”

Isn’t the boss who went out to do some grocery shopping returning and saying hello to the envoy?

To be precise, the one who was happy was the boss. Joo Sang-wook looked quite shocked.

“Oh right. Since I was promoted, I am State Director. Director Joo, what are you doing here? “Are you here to eat?”

“…Are you planning to have me taken to the hospital too?”

“One joke too. Just sit there for now. coffee?”

The envoy, who let out a long sigh at the boss’s rude behavior, began to complain.

“Please don’t cause an accident. “It’s hard for me to keep covering.”

“Why are you saying I had an accident? “I just sold food.”

“Just cooking? Among the patients, there was even a superhuman who survived just one shot of hydrochloric acid! Do you really want to be shackled?!”

It was a terrifying threat to So Shin-han, who was listening in the corner of the restaurant, but the owner responded with a snort.

“no way. So who died?”

“…That’s not it. The next day, everyone was discharged in better health than before, but…”

“Look. They should be grateful to me for the rest of their lives. I used better materials than usual to press the bridge of the little boy’s nose. “The kids who were taken away yesterday won’t be suffering from minor illnesses for the next 10 years, right?”

“You’re calling that an excuse…”

Soshinhan seriously thought about this for the first time as he saw the man called the dimensional hub’s god of death being at a loss for words in front of the restaurant owner.

‘Something is strange about this!’

Actually, there have been more than a few times that I felt like my boss was strange, but most of the time I thought it was just that and moved on.

But isn’t this too harsh?

Why is one of the most powerful people in Korea so embarrassed by a single restaurant owner?

“Phew… I’ll just go now. Anyway, please be more careful in the future.”

“all right. “I will take care of it.”

“If you can’t even talk…”

In the end, Joo Sang-wook left the restaurant without even being able to get his money’s worth.

He sighed and spoke in an awkward manner in front of Sosinhan, who had come out to see the guest off.

“I know it’s a difficult request, but… please stop me when the boss gets into trouble.”

“I will try….”

“thank you. By the way…”

Joo Sang-wook looked at So Shin-han with a strange expression.

“This is an unexpected successor… Everyone has high expectations.”

“yes? “What kind of successor?”

“See you later.”

Sigh.

Joo Sang-wook left the scene with a strange smile.

From that day on, neither the police nor the Superintelligence Bureau came to the restaurant.

Moreover, there was not even a single mention in the news about the incident in which dozens of people were taken to the hospital.

‘No matter how many times I think about it, it’s still strange!’

So Shin-han, who returned to reality, looked at the suspicious boss and part-time worker with suspicious eyes.

“Why do you look at me like that? “Do you have anything to say?”

“Maybe you’ve fallen in love with me again?”

The two’s calm expressions and tone of voice only looked heinous, like villains plotting something.

‘I really have to ask today. The identity of the boss….’

“That boss. “I want to ask you something…”

As Sosinhan was cautiously trying to speak, Daein waved his hand and said.

“I’m sorry, but we’re talking about something important right now. “Let’s go to the yard first and warm up.”

“Just one question…”

“Uh-huh!”

The great man narrowed his brows and frowned.

“You don’t want to train?”

“…Oh no. That’s not it… I understand.”

In the end, Soshinhan was unable to ask the boss’s identity again today.

A conversation between two people was heard in Soshinhan’s ears as he walked towards the backyard at a fast pace.

‘It’s a bit like I’m eavesdropping, but…’

The two’s serious expressions made me worried, so I made an excuse to myself that I couldn’t not listen.

“Is this all their information?”

“huh. But I don’t think it’s in this area.”

“Just in case, should we try burning it all down first? Then wouldn’t something stick out?”

“!!”

“Rather than burning them, wouldn’t it be quicker to catch a few people and kill them first?”

“!!”

“That’s not bad, but…”

“What? “Shinhan, what are you doing there if you’re not going?”

At the sound of Daein’s voice, Sosinhan’s steps quickly accelerated.

“I’m going. “I didn’t hear anything!”

The two people, who were watching him hurriedly heading towards the yard, soon looked at each other and laughed.

“To be curious when you can’t handle it…”

“Isn’t it better to just be honest? “He seems like a nice person, and he’s kind of his disciple.”

The great man waved his hand at the word disciple.

“What kind of disciple is a disciple? Because I’m just an employee. And…”

Daein scratched his chin and looked in the direction where Sosinhan had disappeared.

Although he is not a student, he is a good guy who has good character and follows through difficult training without saying anything.

The great man smiled mischievously and continued speaking.

“If I tell you the truth, the fun of teasing me from now on will disappear, right?”

“Anyway, it’s bad.”

Although she said that, she was also smiling with an expression similar to that of a great person.

***

‘It’s strange. ‘It’s so strange!’

It was finally a free time after the war-like lunch hour.

As Soshinhan was organizing the table, the door swung open and a large man came in.

“Sorry, but it’s break time now… Wow!”

The moment he raised his head and saw the other person, So Shinhan couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

The opponent was Baek Chang-soo, the president of WHA and the strongest superman on Earth.

“President Cho? Why is the president here…”

“Haha. “This is where our students work, so of course we have to visit at least once.”

“yes? It couldn’t be because of me…”

Baek Chang-soo was one of the busiest people in the world.

Such a hero came all the way here to see him…

It was when Soshinhan was so moved that he was about to cry.

“But is the boss inside?”

“…Boss? “Why our boss?”

“Oh, you didn’t know? He’s a friend I’ve known for a long time. “I got a lot of help.”

‘Does the president get help from the president?’

As Soshinhan opened his mouth in surprise, Daein stuck his head out from the kitchen.

“Are you here? Please sit there and wait. “I haven’t finished washing the dishes yet.”

“Take it slow.”

Seeing the strongest superhuman in humanity sitting quietly waiting for the dishes to be finished, Soshinhan felt that this was definitely wrong.

‘Foreign presidents also have to wait several months to meet the president…’

But Baek Chang-soo’s visit was only the beginning.

That night.

“Are you there?”

So Shin-han, who was about to leave work, jumped up from his seat when he heard a voice coming from outside the store.

“No way, this voice….”

Grumble.

A man bigger than Baek Chang-su, who came during the day, struggled through the door and entered.

“Professor Wang Guho?!”

It was Wang Gu-ho, whom So Shin-han respected next to the immortal hero Dae-in, and who bowed at 90 degrees whenever they saw each other at school.

“Ah, student Shinhan.”

Wang Guho, who recognized So Xinhan, smiled warmly and said.

“Boss, are you inside?”

“You just went in to take a shower… I’ll go and call you right away!”

Wang Gu-ho grabbed So Shin-han’s arm as he tried to run into the store.

“Oh, it’s okay. “Let’s wait until you wash up and come out.”

“But…”

As if it was natural for him to be waiting, Wang Guhao went to the refrigerator, brought a can of beer as he was accustomed to, and sat down at the table.

“Student Shinhan wasn’t about to get off work, was he? “Don’t worry about me and just go.”

“No, but…”

“I have something to talk about separately with the boss.”

“Ah yes! “Then let’s go first!”

The guests’ visit did not end there.

The next day, it was Kim Min-jae, the Demon Duke, and

the

next day, it was Baek Young-hee and Namgung-hyeon Alina, and the next day, the two, who were suspected of being Dowang and Shinchang, two of the martial arts masters – they came in clumsy disguises – drank 30 bottles of soju and got caught by the swordsman while getting drunk.

“What on earth is this?… Why do bigwigs from the dimensional hub keep coming to this ordinary restaurant?…”

At this point, Soshinhan was beyond confused and couldn’t help but seriously doubt the identity of the owner.

After pulling out his hair and thinking for several days, Soshinhan stood in front of Daein with dark circles.

Phew…

He took a long deep breath and spoke with a serious expression.

“I… I think I know the boss’s identity.”

“Hoo?”

Daein looked at Sosinhan with an expression of interest.

In fact, at this point, the ‘cognitive error’ has come to an end.

Even if it was the same person, his acquaintances who were researching Red Finger came to the store whenever they had time.

“The boss’s name… I thought it was somehow strange. There’s no way someone with the same name as him is common. That’s also a superhuman… right?”

“What’s wrong?”

The great man laughed and asked back.

‘I guess you’ve finally noticed.’

How would you feel when you find out that you have not recognized your idol before?

‘You probably feel like you’re shaking to death, right?’

Daein smiled kindly and said, intending to relieve Sosinhan’s tension.

“Still, nothing will change. “I know you respect me, but just like you did until now…”

“Boss’s name!”

gulp.

Soshinhan swallowed his saliva and shouted with a nervous expression.

“That’s an alias!”

“…uh?”

Is this a bit different from what you expected?

Why did you make your real name into an alias?

Before Daein could react, Sosinhan poured out his guesses.

“The boss is also one of the heroes who belonged to the death squad, right? “I don’t know why you are hiding your real name, but seeing as you gave up great wealth and fame and even retired, there must be a reason!”

“That’s right…”

He chuckled.

So Shin-han continued speaking with a smile of remorse like the protagonist of a detective novel.

“But the boss couldn’t forget the person who passed away, so he decided to use that name as an alias. Because we were companions in life and death! “I decided to honor him for the rest of my life under the name of Landlord!”

“…wow.”

In a way, it was an amazing imagination.

Creating a novel that is more plausible than reality.

Soshinhan looked at Daein with a bright face.

“Right? “My guess is correct, right?”

“Hmm…”

The great man nodded his head with difficulty, holding back the laughter that was about to escape.

‘but. ‘This might be better.’

He said seriously, placing his hand on Soshinhan’s shoulder.

“This is a secret until the grave. know?”

“yes! Do not worry! The fact that the boss was a member of a death squad! Even if there’s a knife to my throat, I won’t tell anyone!”

Soshinhan answered with a relieved expression and then smiled broadly.

“Please tell me an anecdote about the landlord instead! What do you think of him when you see him in person? He definitely has the aura of a great hero…!”

“…I didn’t think about the side effects.”

That night, Soshinhan was able to sleep peacefully for the first time in a long time, thinking that he had finally found out the identity of the boss.
