Chapter 360

Connectors lived simple lives . They entered the labyrinths, killed monsters, and collected moonstones . When it was time to rest, they went to the only city on the Moon and blew off steam .

Shinwoo was the same . It had been several years since he had entered this industry . He had made a name for himself to a certain extent, but his life didn’t differ too much from other normal Connectors .

After hunting in his Personal Labyrinth, he returned to the city . He parked his Moon Surface Vehicle in the large parking lot located on the city’s side . Normally, his vehicle would be full of moonstones, but he had left his labyrinth earlier than usual . Therefore, he hadn’t come back with much profit .

‘I feel bad for my party members . ’

Right now was supposed to be the busiest part of their schedule, yet Shinwoo had pulled out . His party members had said that it was ok, but he was his party’s strongest member . So he felt bad for doing this .

‘I’ll have to treat them to a lot of alcohol next time . ’

Shinwoo got off his car and took deliberate steps toward the city . When he arrived at the entrance, the large sign hanging above city gates came into view .

- Sungyoon City

Every time he saw that sign, he felt a bit uncomfortable . In the past, before he was born, this city was called Armstrong city . However, after the city was rebuilt on the newly-formed Moon, it was renamed as ‘Sungyoon city . ’

‘These are the times when it hits me . ’

It always reminded him that his father was an amazing person .

Shinwoo opened the gates to ‘Sungyoon’ and entered the city . He walked down a long main street and soon reached a large plaza . A lot of people were walking around the plaza, and the stores were trying very hard to tout their business . However, the eye-catching part of the plaza was the large statues in the middle . Shinwoo’s eyes landed on the statue placed in front . The statue’s face was familiar, and it resembled Shinwoo’s face .

These were the statues of the heroes who had saved humanity and Earth . The one in the front represented this group; it was Woo Sungyoon . The statue had a solemn and earnest face . Shinwoo laughed because he could see his father looking awkward when his mothers and sisters teased him . After glancing at the statue for a moment, he resumed walking along the main street and entered a building .

“Welcome...! Ah! You’re here, Mr . Woo Shinwoo . ”

A middle-aged man with an affable face greeted Shinwoo .

“You came back sooner this time . Where are your party members?”

“They are still hunting within the labyrinth . I came back early because I have some business elsewhere . ”

“I see . ”

“Please dispose of this for me . ”

Shinwoo took out a bag containing his cut of the moonstones .

“Understood . I’ll immediately take care of it for you . ”

Shinwoo was standing inside the building belonging to a specialized company that transported moonstones to Earth . This company had an exclusive contract with his mother’s company, so Shinwoo always brought his moonstones here .

“How are you doing these days?”

The man asked Shinwoo while putting away the bag of moonstones .

“It’s always the same . ”

“That’s good to hear . It’s important that your daily life stays the same . Nothing’s better than boring peace . I had this epiphany when the incident with Grenoid occurred . ”

The man winked, and Shinwoo awkwardly nodded .

“At the time, I was new to this business . Now, I’m so old . Honestly, I never expected to continue in this line of work after Grenoid was defeated . ”

After the battle for humanity’s fate had ended, Grenoid’s body had disappeared as it melted into the ground . The remaining source of magical energy within Grenoid was also pulled into the tower at the heart of the Moon . This development had surprised no one . In the information Hyunwoo had left behind, he had predicted something like that might occur . A while later, the labyrinths and the monsters had started appearing on the Moon once again .

“It was a relief for us . We regained our way to make ends meet . In that aspect, I’m glad Grenoid’s corpse was helpful . ”

As the source of magical energy became whole again, it could create monsters after absorbing Grenoid’s body . Moreover, the waves of magical energy from the tower had created a complex tunnel as the Moon had been reformed . Magical energy had started to leak out into these tunnels . New labyrinths had appeared on the new Moon .

“This is all thanks to your father and his comrades . ”

“Ha ha! Father will be happy to hear that . ”

The man’s bright eyes made Shinwoo uncomfortable . His father’s halo had followed him ever since he had been born . It was a burden to him, but at this point, he was somewhat used to it .

‘I’m not in puberty . I’m not my old self who wanted to get out of my father’s shadow . ’

Shinwoo inwardly laughed as he thought about his stormy adolescence . He then said goodbye to the man and left the building .

‘Finally, it’s time to go to Earth!’

How long had it been? Shinwoo looked up at the round Earth floating above the city .

***

Shinwoo’s final destination was Korea, but he was on a plane heading toward the US . He had something to do before landing in Korea .

Shinwoo stepped inside one of the top universities in the world . Any person would look at someone with envy just for getting into this university .

‘This is the best years of their life . ’

Shinwoo looked at the students conversing with each other as they moved through the campus . He thought like an old grandpa . However, he was only a couple of years older than them .

“Ah! She’s over there . ”

It wasn’t difficult to find the person he sought in the crowd of students . Her attention was focused elsewhere, but her eye-popping beauty struck out . However, Shinwoo didn’t care about that . He would recognize his sister no matter what she looked like .

“Hey, Shinhwee . ”

“Oppa?”

The girl who had been walking and laughing with her friends widened her eyes when she saw him .

***

“That’s too much . Why do you have to pick me up? I’m old enough now . ”

Shinhwee grumbled as she packed up her belongings inside her dorm room .

Shinwoo already had an excuse .

“I guess they still see you as a young girl . I can’t do much since this is an order from our mothers . ”

“I’m only a year younger than you . ”

She shot back . However, Shinwoo just shrugged .

“Maybe, they don’t think of you as trustworthy . What did you always say in the past? ’I am the daughter of a noble person who saved the kingdom . . . !’ Oof!”

Shinhwee threw the clothes in her hand toward Shinwoo, and he caught it in an exaggerated manner .

“I told you to never bring that up again!”

Shinhwee shouted back at him . Tears appeared in Shinwoo’s eyes as he laughed . She glared at him as she approached him and snatched the piece of clothing from his hand .

“Give it back! What are you doing holding your dongsaeng’s underwear!”

“You threw it at me . Stop being delusional . I have no interest in my dongsaeng’s underwear . ”

Shinhwee snorted as she resumed packing her luggage .

“How’s school?”

“it’s ok . ”

Even though her voice sounded sharp, she answered every question he posed to her . Shinwoo crossed his arms as he leaned against the wall .

“You really are something . You’re a Connector born with enough talent to become one of the highest rank Connectors in this world, yet you chose to go into research . Either way, you’ll have to go to the Moon a lot . ”

Since the source of magical energy was still on the Moon, Connectors still felt the urge to go up there . That was why most Connectors chose to hunt monsters as their occupation . However, Shinhwee had chosen the path of a researcher . She had to go up to the Moon due to the pull she felt, and she had to kill monsters if she wanted to provide for her own living expenses . Therefore, she had less time to study and research compared to others . Despite all that, she chose to silently walk down the road of a researcher .

“It’s probably Mom’s influence . Well, I don’t regret my decision . Research is fun . ”

Shinhwee let out a burst of bright laughter . There wasn’t an ounce of negative emotion on her face .

‘She’s the daughter of mother Chelsea . I guess it can’t be helped . ’

It seemed like Shinhwee had inherited the researcher’s blood of her mother, the famous researcher Chelsea Strobe .

“Then, you can focus only on being a researcher . Father or I can provide your living expenses on the Moon . It won’t be too hard for us . ”

“I can’t live off Dad or Oppa forever . I’m good . This is my life, and I’ll take care of myself . ”

‘She’s so headstrong . ’

Shinwoo was worried that his sister had to work so hard, but at the same time, he was proud of her .

“If that’s what you want, I’m fine with it . ”

“Yes . I really love my life right now . ”

A big smile appeared on Shinhwee’s lips, and Shinwoo laughed along with her .

“I’ve always been curious about it . Why did you call yourself the daughter of the man who saved the kingdom? Our father saved the world . If you were going to make some teenage fantasy, it should’ve been closer to reality . . . ”

“Get out of here, you dick!”

In the end, Shinhwee kicked Shinwoo out of her room and didn’t let him enter until she had packed all her luggage .

***

After picking up Shinhwee, Shinwoo headed to his next destination, London . The two of them caught a taxi at the airport and arrived at a house with a luxurious design . They passed through the large front gate to reach a garden .

“I don’t know how he can live here . ”

Shinhwee, who was dressed in comfortable clothing, looked at her surroundings . She sounded salty .

“I wouldn’t be able to live here . It would be too suffocating . ”

“That’s the difference between you and me . ”

She heard a stiff voice . Shinhwee turned toward the source of the voice with a frown . A teenager walked toward the two of them . He looked like a beautiful young man from a shoujo manga . There was a dignified look on his face, but his face still looked young . That was why his appearance looked a bit unbalanced .

“You’re so stuffy . ”

“I’m better than you . You don’t even know how to observe basic courtesies . ”

“Hey, let’s stop fighting . It has been a while since we’ve seen each other . We should get along . ”

Shinwoo got in between his two siblings, but it was an empty gesture .

“She’s the one who picked a fight with me . ”

“I can’t get along with him . ”

Both his siblings looked horrified when Shinwoo suggested that they all get along . Shinwoo let out a sigh .

‘Well, they’ve always been like this . ’

Shinhwee was a free spirit, while Shinhyun always followed the rules . Their personalities were like oil and water .

‘They are the same age, so why can’t they get along?’

No, them being the same age might have made it worse .

“I can talk to mother Grace, but he’s too rigid . ”

“I should be the one saying that . Mother Chelsea is a free spirit, but she always observes her manners . She’s different from you . ”

Thankfully, the two of them didn’t despise each other’s mother . That was a relief .

“Our family is well known around the world . Our history is short, but our father accomplished the greatest achievement in human history . We are part of that family . That’s why we have to be careful in each of our actions . If we act recklessly, we will sully our father’s and mothers’ names . ”

“Stop saying such ignorant things . This is the twenty-first century . Who cares about family names? Why should I care what others think about us? I’ve done nothing wrong, and that should be enough . ”

Their words clearly showed their ways of thinking .

‘I’m sure their mothers had a big influence on them . ’

It was always like this in every era, but the world needed the ingenuity of scientists . Shinhwee became influenced by Chelsea’s worldview . She valued common sense and saw the world as a free spirit .

It was the same for Shinhyun . After Britain became a constitutional monarchy, they had quickly adopted a representative democracy . They still had a monarchy and aristocracy . It was ironic; while they were progressive, some parts were still conservative . Shinhyun’s great grandmother was the queen, and his mother was treated like a princess . This was why him having aristocratic manners was inevitable .

Shinwoo let out a sigh as he watched his siblings growl at each other . However, he soon let out a smile as it reminded him of the past .

‘They also acted like that when they were young . ’

Thankfully, the two of them didn’t hate each other . They only bickered when they met . That was why he didn’t worry too much about them .

However...

“It’s fine when we are alone like this . There is a saying that goes ’You get closer the more you fight . ’ But . . . ”

The smile on Shinwoo’s lips disappeared . He looked at the two of them with cold eyes .

Flinch!

Shinhwee and Shinhyun forgot to glare at each other . They flinched backward .

“We are having a family dinner after being away for a long time . You better not act this way when the time comes . ”

He really wouldn’t go easy on them .

Shinwoo didn’t need to say anything further . Shinhwee and Shinhyun easily understood the implicit threat behind his words . They looked at each other, then nodded . Shinwoo was their older brother who normally acted like a pushover, but once he got angry, he became a very scary person .
