Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[I didn’t want this, but]

“Here.”

I was in front of the beauty salon run by Jang Young-shin’s mother with my little boy.

[Pretty Hair Beauty Salon]

Before entering the beauty salon, I checked my attire one last time.

White t-shirt, ripped jeans, Converse sneakers.

Medium hair that is neither long nor short.

If you look a little confused here….

“Little one. “How do I look?”

“I think that’s stupid.”

What I’m saying is that he looks like an ordinary 20-year-old man.

And next to me, a little boy was looking at the hair salon with a solemn expression.

The little girl came wearing a yellow dress and looked like a chick looking for food.

At that time, the little boy turned his head and looked at me.

Those eyes were quite harsh.

“Did you promise? “A large set of boneless 4-piece french fries!”

I nodded heavily and held out my fist to the kid.

“I keep my promises.”

Tuk.

The kid’s fist hit my fist and then fell.

And we went into the beauty salon.

rattle.

As the bell on the door rang, the woman who had been reading a magazine stood up, turned to look at us.

“Welcome~.”

She was Jang Young-shin’s mother, an elegant beauty in her mid-30s.

It was also our first target.

I said hesitantly, pretending to be an ordinary, innocent 20-year-old.

“I… came to get my hair cut.”

She smiled lightly and pointed to a chair.

“Please sit here. “Who is going to cut it?”

“Me.”

I sat down on the chair at the beauty salon and continued talking.

“I’m going to get a perm. Lightly wave it…”

A perm was an inevitable choice.

What we are going to do from now on is a plan that will take quite some time.

I said while looking around the interior of the beauty salon.

“There are so many toys.”

The interior of the beauty salon was full of items made by Youngshin Jang.

From dolls made of cloth to leather crafts, weapons, armor, cars, and robots made of paper and plastic.

I could almost believe it was a figure store rather than a beauty salon.

The old lady said with a shy smile.

“My son has liked making things since he was young. “Can I trim it a little before perming it?”

For some reason, that smile seemed a little sad.

“Ah yes.”

As I answered, I winked at Lily who was visible in the mirror.

It’s your turn, little one.

The little boy who was sitting on the sofa and playing with his feet in the air said exactly the Korean sentence I taught him before he came.

“brother. “I’m Simsimae~.”

“…….”

I almost got goosebumps all over my body at that moment, but I managed to calm my skin and said.

“Stay calm.”

The little boy ignored my words and got up from his seat and started fiddling with the dolls in the store.

I pretended to be embarrassed.

“Won’t you stay still? “What if it breaks?”

When I looked embarrassed, the lady smiled and said it was okay.

“are you okay. Because there are a lot of things like that. “You can take some later.”

“sorry. “My younger sister is such a tomboy…”

“It’s really okay. “But are you your real brother?”

“He’s not my real brother. “I have some circumstances…”

Like most hairdressers, the lady attempted to have a conversation with the customer.

I responded appropriately and continued the conversation naturally.

“Still a student?”

“no. “I’m going to work.”

“amazing. Already at such a young age…”

At that time, Lily came running towards us.

The little boy had a plush chicken in his arms.

…Do you even bring something like that?

“Asmma! “Do you collect this?”

The lady seemed to think what the little boy was doing was cute and answered with a smile.

“My son made that. Do you want it?”

The little boy nodded, very excited.

I assure you, that’s not acting, it’s sincerity.

“yes! “What I saw when I was a chicken muggle!”

It seems to be referring to something like the picture on the chicken bag.

The old lady said while stroking the little boy’s head.

“Take it with you when you go home later.”

“Thank you!”

As I glanced at him, the little boy added.

“…yo. this!”

The lady looked like she couldn’t stand it because the little boy was so cute.

“How can it be so pretty? “I wish I had a daughter like this.”

At those words, I sighed softly.

This too was not acting, it was sincerity.

“He has a cute face, but he’s a disaster. When it comes to eating, how much you eat….”

“How good it is to eat well. “My son doesn’t eat so much that he doesn’t know how worried I am.”

I asked the question as if it were something I knew nothing about.

“How old is your son?”

“I’m thirteen now. “He’s about a hand taller than his younger brother here.”

After a while, the perm machine was running above my head and we started talking about the hardships of parenting.

I spoke passionately.

“Well, I only want to eat chicken. “I make nutritious food with all the good things for your body, but you always say it’s not tasty and you don’t want to eat it… Honestly, I’m worth eating that, right?”

The lady sighed, saying she sympathized.

“I know that feeling very well. “My child doesn’t eat much, and he likes pizza so much…”

“And one time, I swore without thinking, and he thought it meant something else…”

“Oh my! “You have to be really careful what you say in front of kids!”

As we talked about common topics, our intimacy quickly increased.

Now the lady spoke to me naturally.

…But what is this all about?

It was all preliminary work to meet Jang Young-shin.

-Savant syndrome-

A phenomenon in which a very small number of people with autism demonstrate genius talent in a specific field.

Jang Young-shin suffered from savant syndrome.

Because of this, I had very poor social skills and found it very difficult to talk to others.

Even in the future I know, Jang Young-shin was famous for not talking to anyone other than her mother and a very few acquaintances.

Since the opponent was like this, I needed to approach it differently.

I suddenly showed up dressed in a suit and asked,

“Is Jang Young-shin there? I came from the Superhuman Guild. “Would you like to develop your talents with us?”

This is not a guy who will fall for you just because you say that.

So, I naturally made a plan to become friends with Jang Young-shin.

Coming as a customer to the beauty salon run by his mother.

It was a famous story that the person who actually recognized and discovered Jang Young-shin’s talent was a regular at this beauty salon.

I said.

“My little brother really likes it because there are a lot of toys here. “I’ll come back to cut my brother’s hair next time.”

“I’m always welcome. Or should I just trim your bangs now? “I won’t take any money.”

“no. “I’ll cut it next time I come.”

Even though I said it was okay, the lady said she would cut it off as it was a service.

“Baby, will you come here?”

After a while, the little boy started crying while playing with his straight bangs.

“This is strange….”

“Oh my! Really cute!”

The lady took a lot of pictures, saying that she had to save them.

Our chatting must have been quite noisy, but there was no reaction from inside the store.

This isn’t a big hair salon, so I could have easily stopped by the rooms inside the store.

I tried to raise my mana as a test.

Sssssssut.

It’s so subtle that the average person doesn’t notice.

However, a level of mana that an awakened superhuman would feel was spread throughout the beauty salon.

I said, looking at the door inside the store.

“But aren’t we making too much noise? I think it might disturb your son…”

“It’s okay. “You’ll be busy making something else.”

If Jang Young-shin had not yet awakened as a superhuman, there was no need to meet him today.

Today, I’m satisfied that I’ve become friends with the lady, and I just need to visit her from time to time and become closer to her.

…But there was a reaction.

Drurr.

The door inside the beauty salon opened slightly, and a pale-looking boy revealed only half of his face.

“…mom. are you okay?”

The woman looked back at her son with a surprised face.

“oh. “What’s wrong with you?”

At that moment, I signaled to the little boy with a glance.

good! kid!

Lily ran over with her chicken stuffed toy.

“…omg!”

Before Jang Young-shin, who was surprised, closed the door, the little boy succeeded in inserting a chicken doll into the gap in the door.

Kkokkio-!

The chicken stuck in the gap screamed.

…Did that even make a sound?

Jang Young-shin looked down at Lily with a puzzled expression.

“…What are you?”

The little boy twisted the chicken doll wildly to widen the gap in the door, then yanked it open.

He then handed the battered chicken to Jang Yeong-shin and said,

“this! “Did you make it?”

“…uh. however?”

Good job my little one!

Right now, the little boy was using all the few Korean words he knew and which I had taught him quickly when he arrived.

“How do you make it? “Gunggeumae!”

At that moment, Jang Young-shin’s eyes began to come to life.

Savant syndrome.

Although he usually shows autistic tendencies, he shows incredible concentration and passion in his favorite field.

“As for how I made it….”,

the little boy would not have understood more than 90% of what Jang Young-shin said, starting from -.

Even if I hear it, I don’t even know half of it.

Still, the little boy did as I told him and nodded enthusiastically.

“wow! “Oppa, Musitda!”

It was all passion for the 4-piece set of boneless meat.

Without even knowing it, the innocent boy muttered while avoiding the little boy’s bright gaze.

“No, it’s not a big deal…”

“Mersit! Wow! It’s like chicken! “Do you want chicken?”

“It’s not like that… Chicken? I like pizza better….”

“Mersit! “Musit!”

…If you have nothing to say, stop now.

However, Jang Young-shin couldn’t help but blush at Lily’s endless praise.

“…There are even cooler things inside. Shall I show you?”

what?

The little boy nodded before I could intervene.

“huh!”

That little boy probably answered without even knowing what he was talking about.

“…Then follow me.”

Jang Young-shin held the little boy’s hand and entered the room.

My wife and I looked at that with equally blank faces.

“This is the first time I’ve seen my child talk like that with someone…”

“…….”

I was also speechless and looked in the direction where the kids had disappeared, when I

suddenly realized a surprising fact.

That kid?

The lady was simply amazed at her son’s behavior, but

I instinctively knew what Jang Young-shin’s behavior meant just now.

Jump up.

I got up from my seat and walked briskly to the place where the two children had disappeared.

“uh? “The perm isn’t done yet?”

The lady called me from behind, but my head wasn’t important right now.

Drurr.

When I opened the door, I was immediately in the living room of the house.

There, two children were playing with toys.

“…You take this and this.”

Jang Young-shin gave the little boy the toy that looked the best at first glance.

“Thank you!”

“…I can make it again.”

And Jang Young-shin blushes.

When I saw that, I was convinced.

That guy.

I fell in love with the little boy.

Since we were similar in age, I expected that we would easily become friends.

So, I gave the kid a mission to become friends with him in exchange for chicken.

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“I didn’t want this, but…”

Thanks to you, it seemed like things would be resolved easily.

And two days later.

I led the team into the ‘Labyrinth of Corrupted Souls.’
