《Hello, Inside Monster》CHAPTER X: SEEING THE ENEMY AGAIN
Advertisement
“Ok, detective Kan. I got it. Yes, yes, don’t worry. I’ll give the message to prosecutor Han. See you in the office”.
“What’s wrong?” DooSan asked inspector Yu, who was walking next to him, on a narrow street.
“Min An Sook. It seems that they got him framed for Li Ha Hi’s murder.”
“He got framed? By who?”
Inspector Yu stops for a few seconds and turning face to DooSan, stares into his eyes. “Prosecutor Han, tell me, who do you hate the most in this life?”
“Who do I hate?” DooSan mumbled and stared past Yu … his jaw is slowly shaking off bad memories.

6 YEARS AGO. RESTAURANT. DAY
DooSan and GhiYon entered the restaurant and approached the reception: “I have a reservation under the name of…” but a scream caught his attention and he took a few steps in front to see who was arguing because something was telling him that the person involved in that argument is somehow related to him.
“What? Why exactly she can't eat here? Is it a crime, adjuma?” Mina yelled at the manager, who was next to them.
SolHi looked around and, seeing everybody staring at them, grabbed Mina’s arm. “Let’s go, Mina. It’s not worth…”
“To go?! Not in a thousand years. We have the same rights to eat here like everybody else and…”
“Nobody denied you, Miss, to stay,” the manager continued, “but … she must go.”
“She???” Mina yelled again. “Miss, lady, whatever other formal names, but not she. This girl has a name too. You could ask her first and then…”
“Everybody in town and I think the whole country knows … this Miss. In my restaurant I have the right not to receive assassins to eat at my table”.
The Sky collapsed once again over SolHi. She listened to such insults before, but this time was different: she was now out of a Court, and those who were calling her an "assassin" were simple citizens and not a prosecutor or the victim’s family, and these ones didn’t even know her, but in their eyes, she was prosecutor Han YuSan’s assassin and it won’t ever change.
Without saying more words, SolHi passes next to Mina and she heads toward the exiting door …a lot of tears were flowing on her cheeks and she was seeing nothing else around. She felt she lacked air and the only thing she wanted at that moment was to leave this cursed place where everybody was blaming her for something she feels she had never done, but nobody believes her.

“How does it feel?” was heard behind SolHi, when she passed next to the reception.
SolHi stopped and slowly turned her head toward DooSan who was the one telling those words. Through tears, she barely could see his face, but she knew him so well already and she was still smelling the hatred he had for her.
In the distance is still heard the argument between Mina and the manager, but SolHi was concentrating only on the demon who was standing now in front of her, with his hands in his pockets and grinning with satisfaction at her.
“Like hell,” SolHi whispered. “Are you happy now? Aaa? Are you happy, Han DooSan, for seeing me this way?”
“DooSan, I think is better to…” GhiYon tried to stop him, but DooSan wasn’t listening to anybody.
“Of course, I’m happy. You don’t even know how happy I am. Finally, you got what you deserved” and he started to walk around her, watching with delight at her shaking hands and body. “I call this karma. Now I’m finally happy that the Court didn’t imprison you, because people’s hatred and contempt are more than a fair punishment for you”.
A bowl with water was thrown over DooSan’s head. “You” DooSan yelled at Mina, who was standing next to him with the empty bowl in her hands. Mina’s jaw and hands were badly shaking with anger.
“Punishment? For whom, idiot? Do you ever know what she had to pass till today?” yelled Mina.
“Mina, please…” SolHi whispered, drowning in tears.
“If you never saw her crawling on the floor because she couldn’t stand up; if you didn’t even listen to her weep during the night, because everybody was chasing her; if you didn’t see her killing somebody, you can’t call her an assassin”.
“But this is what she deserves,” DooSan grinned, but he stepped back when he saw Mina approaching him, grabbing tightly the bowl and intending to hit him.
“And what if she’s not guilty?!
“What? What are you talking about? She was there that night and…”
“What if she got framed for this? What if you hate not the real assassin? Aaa? How will you redeem your mistake in front of her? With an “I’m sorry?” If so, just lost yourself in the hell, mister stupid. Let’s go, SolHi. We have nothing else to do here” and grabbing SolHi’s wrist, Mina tried to take her out, but SolHi retreated her hand and approached DooSan, after wiping away her tears.

“Do you want evidence, don’t you? Well, I’ll find that evidence that you weren’t able to find, Han DooSan and if I’m not guilty I will make you all pay … for your insults … for your hatred … for being your idiot for two years. You will pay for this, Han DooSan. I swear that you will pay for it”.
The slammed door behind SolHi made DooSan react and stare in the same direction.
“Let’s go,” GhiYon told him, but DooSan exited the restaurant without saying a word. He saw SolHi approaching Mina’s car and he started to run to catch her, but the car passed in front of him and none of the girls looked at him.
A few months after that incident, DooSan found out that SolHi entered the Police Academy and he decided to walk the same path, so he resumed his studies and he had only one aim: to be a Prosecutor and to defeat her, no matter what.
***
PRESENT. NIGHT.
“Where is she?” DooSan asked while looking around.
“Detective Ian? She said that she will catch us up!”
“Why am I not even surprised?! She always does whatever is crossing her mind,” DooSan whispered and they stopped at the corner of the street, looking toward the entrance in a nightclub. “Why do I have the feeling that I saw this before?” and DooSan stared at the motorcyclists and rockers that were in front of the club.
“Maybe because last time we met them was bad enough?
“And because it was bad enough, will you give up?” SolHi tossed them.
“Yah, why don’t you face them then if you are so…” but DooSan shut up watching her rock vestment. “You decided to copy them. Nice.”
“Copy? Why copy them, when I can be unique? Let’s go, inspector! We don’t have the whole night only to eye them.”
“No, thanks. I’ll better wait here. The last time I welcomed them, it didn't end well. At all.”
“I can’t believe it: only a few puppies and our… are so afraid,” SolHi nodded in reproach.
“Puppies?!” and DooSan took a step in front of her. “Those are Pitbull. Pitbull.”
SolHi imitates a bite and taking a pack of cigarettes Yu was playing with, she crosses the street in a hurry.
“That’s going to be ugly,” Yu whispered while scratching his head.
“Damn psycho! Go after her or for sure we are dead!” DooSan mumbled and he kicked a stone, making it roll off the asphalt.
***
“May I have a light?” SolHi asked one of the motorcyclists from in front of the club, but instead of light to her cigarette, she heard their mocking laughter.
“Listen to me, dwarf, get lost! This is not a place for you!” told one of the guys SolHi and while he was approaching her, the chains he wore sounded, hitting each other, but what was catching the eye was the round and big earring hanging from his nose. “Did you hear me, dwarf? Get lost or…” but he screamed like hell, feeling a hard hit between his legs and grabbing the earring, SolHi started to pull him toward her.
“When a lady asks for a light, idiot, you take out from your pocket the lighter and you light her cigarette. If not, you can catch a bullet between your rat eyes, stupid” and the barrel of a gun was touching his head.
The motorcyclists started to surround SolHi, ready for a fight. Yu got in a hurry to the place, aiming at them with the gun, but nobody wanted to listen to him. “Damn! I told her not to…
“I told you not to move between my legs, dwarf. I hate Chihuahuas,” a rocker said and he punched SolHi, but she moved back and the guy stumbled to his feet, but soon after, he was forced to kneel by a hit in his stomach, received from Yu, who was still aiming with the gun: “Next time when you call someone Chihuahua, first ask if he’s not from the police, idiot and now everybody stand up, faster and move toward the entrance or I swear a bullet will beautify your rat foreheads”.
SolHi stares at Yu … she definitely didn’t expect such a reaction from him, but she was happy for the first time in her life that somebody, a man, had defended her and SolHi will never forget it.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
