Chapter 404


Episode 398 – Life is Always Precious.

Schrödinger’s Cat Experiment.

It’s an experiment representing quantum mechanics.

It signifies that two mutually exclusive states coexist until observed.

In other words, it means the result gets fixed at the moment of observation.

  

And this still applies right now.

“You done talking, you crazy bastard!!!”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Shut that mouth!”

The fact that the juvenile offender’s mom really exists.

“Why does she exist?”

“I told you to shut up! What kind of psycho are you!!!”

I could clearly observe with my own two eyes.

Anyway, as the juvenile offenders have been reborn as juvenile offender hunters.

I smiled brightly at the group leader to sincerely congratulate him.

After all, it basically meant I gained a junior.

“Jammin, congratulations again.”

“Don’t talk to me, you f*cking bastard!”

“You can’t hear me! Don’t ignore me!!!”

Ignoring the aunt, who kept causing a ruckus in front of me.

‘But even this guy has a wife and kids, huh?’

[At least it’s not a case of parental mismatch, isn’t it a relief?]

Just then, the heroines approached me.

We all started clapping and smiling at the group leader.

To bless the future of the juvenile offender hunter.

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations!”

“Congrats!”

“Congrats!”

“Shut up! I’m going to kill myself!”

Suddenly the group leader chose the extreme option of ending his life.

As soon as I heard that, Caressy stepped forward, shaking her head.

Probably because, as a saintess, she considers suicide a serious sin within her religion.

“Make sure to give an offering before you go.”

“Don’t talk to me! You b*tch!”

“It’s a cat, right?”

“Stop talking!!!”

But thanks to Caressy’s persistent efforts.

Or maybe the group leader’s will to live reignited at the last moment.

Or perhaps both.

“If you give an offering now, I’ll write you a recommendation letter for entering heaven before you commit suicide.”

“I told you to shut up!!!”

Well, it didn’t matter which one it was.

“Even insurance coverage can be done. There’s no opportunity like this.”

“I’m not doing it, so please just shut up!!!”

Anyway, he gave up on the extreme option of suicide.

Of course, Caressy kept talking to the group leader.

No matter how well things seemed, from the saintess’s perspective, it was inevitable to worry about the little lamb.

“Let’s do some filial piety towards your parents this time.”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! SHUT UP!!!”

The title of saintess really fits Caressy well.

[She’s good at promotions, really a top salesperson.]

‘It’s usually two for one, but even alone, she’s still a saintess.’

Then the group leader detached from Caressy and clung to his mom.

For sure, he must have reconsidered his life while thinking about his parents.

Indeed, the power of a saintess is truly incredible.

“Mom, this crazy woman keeps bothering me!”

“Is that so? It must have been tough.”

However, even in his mom’s embrace, the group leader continued to vent his frustrations without a distorted face.

Even though his mom was earnestly talking to him.

“Are you okay, my son? Our son did nothing wrong.”

“Why do you keep talking when I say I don’t want to!!! It’s really f*cked up!!!”

This was quite concerning, so I decided to speak up.

“Even if it’s a pain, you can’t treat your mom like this.”

“Uh, no! I meant that woman!”

To awaken the importance of filial piety, one of the values highly regarded in South Korea.

“Even if you don’t like her, treat her well. She won’t be around for long.”

“You crazy bastard!!!”

With that, it seemed I had sufficiently enlightened him about filial duty, so it was a relief.

At least he wouldn’t commit some serious act of filial impiety.

Thinking I resolved at least one issue, I smiled brightly at the group leader’s mom.

“Did I do well?”

“What do you mean did well, you dog bastard!!!”

I got a fierce response in return for teaching a child.

But it was just a moment; the group leader’s mom kept wrapping him up.

And the group leader continued to throw a tantrum accordingly.

“Mom, what am I gonna do now?”

“It’s okay. If you become a hunter, I’ve thought everything through.”

“What kind?”

Excessive pampering might not be great for raising a child, but still, a home filled with maternal love isn’t all that bad.

Though, it seemed like her maternal love was a bit excessive.

“You should take out specialized death insurance and prearranged funeral insurance, right? You’ll get a discount if you do it now.”

“Ah, you mean the one you signed me up for with your seal? Got it!”

As long as there’s love, isn’t anything acceptable?

[By the way, isn’t a mom’s love for her child also a kind of sickness?]

‘Moms love their kids; you bastard without a mom.’

[Oh, right.]

Before long, the atmosphere inside the building became cheerful.

But the atmosphere is bound to change and fluctuate.

As if to prove that very words, the joyous mood began to fade rapidly.

Because of the two individuals who burst through the building’s door.

“Please wait a moment!”

“Hey!!!”

They were none other than Lee Da-hye and a police officer.

The officer had a helpless expression while trying to stop them.

In contrast, Lee Da-hye was out of breath, panting heavily.

For some unknown reason, she appeared quite angry.

“Calm down!”

“Where are you!!!”

The moment Lee Da-hye turned her head sharply and locked eyes with the group leader, two different emotions began to collide.

One side was astonishment, the other side was anger.

“You, you…you are…!”

“Hey, f*cking bastard!”

And along the path of these conflicting emotions, anger rushed towards shock.

But as the public force became a wall blocking that rush, the fierce charge unexpectedly met a swift end.

“Hold on, Lee Da-hye!”

Given the size and intensity of the emotions involved, the vessel containing them was far too small.

And the overflowing emotions began to manifest through words instead of actions.

“Why can’t you allow it!”

“Violence is bad! Hitting others is clearly wrong!”

Well, it’s not unreasonable.

The police are, in essence, meant to uphold order.

Preventing chaos that resolves everything through violence was their duty and mission.

But the moment the police heard Lee Da-hye’s words.

“Police auntie! But this bastard is a hunter now!”

“Oh, then it’s no problem.”

With a warm smile, the officer bowed and opened the way.

Allowing the pent-up anger to charge forward once more.

Was it also a kind of apology for having blocked that path until now?

“Here, take this baton with you.”

“Thank you, Police Oppa!”

With the police supplying wings to Lee Da-hye’s wrath.

The anger, now with wings, charged furiously.

As if to compensate for the little time held back, even faster than before.

Just like that, Lee Da-hye raced towards the group leader and soon reached him.

Then, with the baton, she viciously struck the group leader’s shins.

It was exceedingly unfair yet legal violence.

BAM!

“Hand over my fireworks set!!!”

“AAAAAAAH!!!”

Watching the group leader wail in pain.

His mom hurriedly scolded Lee Da-hye.

Based on appropriate legal grounds.

“What kind of b*tch are you! That’s assault!!! Want to go to juvenile detention?!”

“Assault? What are you talking about?”

“If you hit a kid like this, it’s obviously assault!!! So what else could it be!!!”

But Lee Da-hye shrugged off the aunt’s fury and instead smirked.

Looking at the foolish words of the foolish one with a gaze full of ridicule.

“It’s property damage, you know.”

“You crazy girl!!!”

“Insurance coverage, please.”

[So she must have learned how hunters are treated in school.]

‘That’s the academy for you, they sure know how to educate.’

And once again, Lee Da-hye struck.

BAM! BAM!

“Where’s my fireworks set!!!”

But the group leader’s mom could no longer defend him.

Lee Da-hye was right in every single word.

Above all, Lee Da-hye was technically a juvenile offender right now.

In the end, the group leader could only sob truthfully.

Once more shedding the tears he dropped earlier.

“It’s in the car!!! I left it there!!!”

“Oh really?”

Just as Lee Da-hye seemed poised to stop hitting.

“Lee Da-hye, that’s a lie.”

“Really?”

The police officer shook his head firmly.

“There’s nothing in the car now. Don’t be fooled.”

“You f*cking bastard, trying to trick me?”

Lee Da-hye’s previously halted hand resumed moving.

With a heavier and sharper momentum for the crime of speaking falsehoods.

“Oh, no! I really left it in the car!”

As he kept getting hit, the group leader could only vent his grievances.

But the police kept pointing out that it was a lie.

“No, it’s not.”

“The police officer said there isn’t!”

“It can’t be!!!”

Puzzlement began to seep into the group leader’s grievances.

Why on earth would they say there’s nothing in the car?

It was certain he left it behind.

However, the group leader’s confusion was resolved surprisingly quickly.

“Because the fireworks set is right here.”

“Police Oppa is the best!”

Thanks to the police casually pulling out the fireworks set.

Now the group leader’s grievances were replaced with anger.

  

After all, he wasn’t lying in the end.

“You picked that up from the car I left it in, you pig cop!”

“Well, it’s not in the car right now anyway, is it?”

Of course, it didn’t matter that the group leader told the truth before.

BAM!!!

“Our pig cop, don’t frame me!”
