She completely shed her old identity and was reborn as a National Intelligence Service black agent, adopting a new identity, a new face, and the new name ‘Han Seo-Jin.’
For Han Seo-Jin, the title of Korea’s strongest hunter was nothing but a heavy shackle she wished to get rid of by any means necessary.
The National Intelligence Service, which proposed her special recruitment, likely targeted that very point.
Ironically, it was only after becoming a black agent that Han Seo-Jin found freedom, liberated from her obligations.
‘That’s how our relationship began.’
Despite being burdened with responsibilities that should be overwhelming for a boy’s body and mind, Kim Deok-Sung silently undertook his duties and began making Korea’s name known worldwide.
Even though he had the option to naturalize in another country, he chose not to.
Kim Deok-Sung didn’t throw away his duties like he once did when he felt overwhelmed by them; instead, he dedicated himself to serve the underdog country, his motherland.
‘Mr. Kim Deok-Sung is a person so exceptional that he cannot even be compared to someone like me, who merely quitted responsibilities under such minor weight.’
Therefore, he was in a situation where he deserved to be quite arrogant, yet he remained humble.
He always treated hunters, who were no different from floor mats for heroes, with respect and never crossed the line.
Perhaps it was from that moment.
It was when Han Seo-Jin genuinely decided to devote herself, both body and soul, to Kim Deok-Sung.
‘Mr. Kim Deok-Sung…’
When she thought of the one who had become her everything, Han Seo-Jin’s face slightly flushed.
Eri, who hadn’t noticed her expression, spoke up.
“So, what about this date plan…?”
“Sometime,” Han Seo-Jin interrupted.
“If I ever… if the day comes when I can go on a date, this is the plan I prepared in advance.”
If, by some miracle, she were to get the honor of dating him, who was only a floor mat in comparison to him, this is how she would like it to be.
Swallowing her desires down her throat, Han Seo-Jin pressed the remote button.
“If there are no further questions, I’ll conclude the meeting here.”
Clap, clap clap clap clap.
Eri and Makoto clapped, overwhelmed by Han Seo-Jin’s energy.
Hearing the applause, a dry smile appeared on Han Seo-Jin’s lips.
Makoto’s love love date operation
[……partner……]
A familiar voice echoed in her head.
[Partner! Wake up!]
The Black Prince?
She opened her eyes.
“Ugh.”
Her entire body screamed.
She looked around.
The familiar ceiling and room interior came into view.
This was her dormitory.
Wait, dormitory?
She clearly remembered fainting on the practice room floor just a moment ago.
[Are you awake? Partner?]
“You’re awake, Mr. Kim Deok-Sung.”
The voices of the Black Prince and Han Seo-Jin mixed and rang out.
Rubbing her temples, she half-sat up.
“Who brought me here?”
“Did you just bring me here?”
“That would be Saionji Aris.”
Han Seo-Jin replies in her usual businesslike tone to my question.
Aris, huh.
[That lady. She delivered the partner in a princess hug all the way here.]
The Black Prince pipes up with unnecessary information.
Princess hug, huh.
Good thing I was knocked out and didn’t have to see such an embarrassing sight.
“While you were passed out, Kamiya Makoto stopped by.”
Makoto?
Why out of the blue?
My eyebrows twitch.
“She said to tell you that she’s waiting in the dormitory backyard to speak with you.”
Waiting, huh?
As soon as I hear that, I reflexively look out the window.
Fortunately, it’s not raining like last time with Eri, but the weather looks cloudy enough that it might rain any minute.
If it rains, it’ll just repeat the events of that day’s Season 2.
I can’t let that happen.
“I’m going crazy.”
I stretch my body as I get up from the bed.
Crack, crack.
The sound of joints popping fills the air.
Interestingly enough, my body doesn’t feel heavy or sore. I seem to have recovered while I was sleeping.
“I’ll be back.”
“Have a safe trip.”
Han Seo-Jin bows politely.
I leave the room, escorted by her farewell.
*
Right after Kim Deok-Sung steps out, Han Seo-Jin puts on her Bluetooth earset and speaks in a cool voice.
As she turns on her laptop, the scene from the backyard appears.
It was the view from the button camera attached to Makoto’s clothes.
“Kamiya Makoto, Kim Deok-Sung just left his room.”
“Stay calm and proceed according to the plan.”
Han Seo-Jin’s voice is transmitted to Makoto through the earpiece.
In the backyard of the dormitory.
Makoto stands there nervously, biting her lips.
“Uh….”
As Makoto waits with a serious expression, the figure of Kim Deok-Sung begins to appear before her eyes.
Makoto bites her lips and places her hand on her large chest.
Her heart races.
“Looks like you really were waiting.”
Thud.
Kim Deok-Sung stops in front of her, his eyebrows twitching as he speaks.
“How long did you wait?”
With that casual remark, Makoto’s face turns bright red.
Her heart might burst from beating so fast.
What if the lord hears her heartbeat?
Makoto’s eyes tremble.
[Stay calm. Kamiya.]
[Just say what’s in the script.]
Han Seo-Jin’s voice echoes in her ear.
Hearing her calm voice, some of Makoto’s boiling emotions settle down.
“Stay calm. Makoto. You must stay calm.”
Makoto squeezes her eyes shut and then opens them, lowering her head. “I-I didn’t wait too long. Just about half a day…?”
A contradiction between saying she didn’t wait long and half a day.
It was the line that Han Seo-Jin wrote for her.
It was meant to evoke the guilt from having made Nishizawa Eri wait not too long ago, making it easier to get a date proposal accepted.
“Didn’t wait long, huh? Bullst… Damn it. Always waiting foolishly.”
Kim Deok-Sung lets out a sigh.
His eyebrows twitch.
“What do you want to say, Makoto?”
His gaze is fixed on her.
Glup.
Makoto swallows hard.
[Kamiya, now’s the time.]
[Don’t be nervous. Just speak calmly.]
Han Seo-Jin’s instructions ring in her ears.
With her face flushed, she speaks.
“L-Lord! I want to go sightseeing in Tokyo, just the two of us!”
At her words, Kim Deok-Sung’s brows furrow.
Makoto continues with a trembling voice.
“Ever since I returned to my original self, I haven’t had a proper sightseeing experience in Tokyo. Last time, Ritsuko crashed and messed it all up… So this time, I really want to go out properly.”
“Ever since I returned to my original form, I haven’t had a proper chance to explore Tokyo. The last time I went out with my mentor, Ritsuko butted in and ruined everything… So this time, I really want to have a proper outing.”
She lowered her head and fidgeted with the hem of her school uniform skirt.
“…I know this is a really shameless request, but I want to go out with you, just like Nishizawa-san or Shinozaki-san… I really want to go out with my Master…”
Makoto’s voice was almost a whisper.
[Well done, Kamiya.]
Han Seo-Jin’s voice echoed in Makoto’s ear.
Hearing her words, Kim Deok-Sung sighed inwardly.
He wanted to refuse Makoto’s request, but he couldn’t.
‘After all, I already spent time with Rin and Eri, so I can’t find a reason to turn down Makoto’s wish.’
Reluctantly, he had to agree.
For the sake of fairness.
[Partner, how about fulfilling Makoto’s wish too? It’s pitiful. She hasn’t had a proper city tour yet.]
‘I was already thinking that.’
Resolving his decision, Kim Deok-Sung looked at Makoto and said, “Alright, fine. Let’s get inside before it rains.”
Makoto’s eyes widened at his words.
She nodded enthusiastically.
“Yes! Master! Thank you for agreeing!”
[Now’s your chance, Kamiya. Go for it!]
Following Han Seo-Jin’s instructions, Makoto jumped into Kim Deok-Sung’s arms.
“…Master really is the best.”
Makoto’s ample chest squished against Kim Deok-Sung as he awkwardly embraced her, letting out a sigh.
“Damn it…”
Thus, the outing between Makoto and Kim Deok-Sung was set.
*
Time passed, and it was the Saturday of their outing.
Ikebukuro Station.
Just like Shinjuku and Shibuya, this bustling place in Tokyo was overflowing with crowds and vehicles, and parked suspiciously was a massive black van.
Due to its dark tint, you couldn’t see inside the van, but it was filled with numerous monitors and gadgets that looked like something out of a spy movie.
It was a special vehicle prepared with the funds from Han Seo-Jin.
“Wow, amazing! Han Seo-Jin, who on earth are you? Where did you get this car?”
Eri’s jaw dropped as she gazed at the inside of the special vehicle.
“I’m Kim Deok-Sung’s personal secretary. This was purchased out of my own pocket.”
Han Seo-Jin said calmly as she checked the equipment.
“Han Seo-Jin, you’re super cool! Eri-chan, I might just start admiring her! Hehe.”
Eri laughed while fiddling with her collar.
Despite her exaggerated reactions, Han Seo-Jin remained focused, unwavering in her duties.
“Equipment check complete. Streaming the current situation.”
Pop.
The monitors filled one side of the van, showing scenes from around Ikebukuro.
On the largest monitor in the middle, the footage from a button camera on Makoto’s clothing appeared.
Zing.
A red light lit up on the microphone.
“Uh, testing, testing. Kamiya-san, can you hear my voice? If you can hear me, please stretch your arms up to the sky and stretch.”
Han Seo-Jin’s voice was transmitted to Makoto through a tiny earbud in her ear.
Sitting on a bench in front of Ikebukuro Station, Makoto naturally stretched her arms skyward.
[Communication is good. Confirmed.]
[Makopi, don’t mess up! Win the Master’s heart with your charm!]
Hearing Han Seo-Jin and Eri’s encouragement, Makoto bit her lip.
Koto bit her lip.
‘Han Seo-Jin and Nishizawa Eri are cheering me on this much… If I don’t repay their kindness…’
Makoto clenched her fists, resolving herself.
Dressed in the casual outfit Eri had picked for her today, she had even gotten her makeup done by Eri herself.
As Makoto nervously touched the unfamiliar skirt, she pulled out the hand mirror Eri gifted her from her bag and checked her face.
Reflected back in the mirror was Eri’s makeup, which made her usually plain face look much more vibrant.
It felt strange.
‘I might have become a little more feminine…’
With her carefully chosen outfit and makeup, she wondered if she could catch her lord’s attention.
Makoto thought about this and smiled widely.
[How’s it going, Makopi? With Eri’s secret makeup tricks and perfume! Heehee.]
[Nishizawa’s makeup skills are astounding.]
The voices of the two echoed in Makoto’s ears.
“She’s already here.”
Just then, while fiddling with her hairpin in front of the mirror, she heard his voice near her ear.
Makoto looked up.
There stood Kim Deok-Sung.
[Stay calm, Kamiya. Just do what we practiced and everything will go well. First, approach Kim Deok-Sung and link arms. You need to showcase the allure of your ample chest.]
Makoto’s face turned red at Han Seo-Jin’s instructions.
‘The allure of my chest…’
She thought it was a large and useless ugly chest.
But if her large chest could bring joy to her lord, then she could definitely use it.
With her resolve solidified, Makoto stood up.
“My lord. I’ve missed you.”
Makoto said in a trembling voice as she naturally linked arms with Kim Deok-Sung.
[And thus, Makopi’s Love-Love Date Operation begins!]
With Eri’s declaration, their date commenced.
*
Suddenly.
Makoto naturally linked arms with him.
She could feel the touch of her ample chest against his arm.
It was awkward.
With so many eyes watching them, she couldn’t just pull away.
[Partner, you lucky dog. Living the life, huh? I’m jealous.]
The Black Prince muttered something unnecessary.
“Let’s eat first since I’m sure you’re hungry. My lord, there’s a famous pork cutlet restaurant nearby. Is that okay?”
Makoto quietly blushed and smiled.
Unlike usual, her face looked unexpectedly pretty.
Of course, being a heroine character, she was naturally a beautiful girl, but today, her beauty seemed elevated.
A subtle floral scent tickled her nose.
The hairpin she wore was a pink flower shape instead of black.
Her short skirt and a shirt accentuating her ample chest were also eye-catching.
[Oh, that lady Makoto really went all out, huh?]
As the Black Prince said, she was dressed up for no reason at all.
“My lord, do you dislike pork cutlet by any chance?”
Makoto rubbed her chest against him.
She continued to feel the soft touch.
What’s up with her acting so differently today? Did she eat something weird?
Normally, Makoto was a shy and introverted character. She wasn’t the type to enjoy physical advances like Rin.
Against her own will, her blood was boiling.
This is crazy.
Stuck in the middle of Ikebukuro’s bustling district, she couldn’t just curse out loud; it was awkward.
“No, I like it, so let’s hurry up.”
She wanted to get this outing over with quickly.
“Got it! I’ll lead the way!”
Just as Makoto was about to leave the station, a suspiciously large black van came into view.
