Theatrical Regression Life

Episode 150:

When the day was just dawning and the people who were going to take out the fish traps were waking up, Jeong In-ho naturally woke up the rest of the group as well.

Rather than waking him up outright, the method was to raise the volume of conversation or make him feel vibrations from a short distance away. It was a classic technique, but since it was the main character, it wasn’t really noticeable.

Then, didn’t he stare at Lee Jae-heon with pitch-black eyes?

“….”

“…Oh, do you have anything to say?”

“Huh.”

The intention was so clear that he was speechless. Every time I acted shamelessly like that, I was reminded of my junior from my previous life and it made the back of my neck hurt even more. Why did his mother make a guy like that the main character?

In the end, Jaeheon Lee had no choice but to open his mouth.

“…Can you gather some people?”

If I was going to get robbed anyway, it was better to do it voluntarily.

Jeong In-ho readily gathered the people around him at Lee Jae-heon’s words, and although he could not hold back his inner lament, Lee Jae-heon told the story of ‘Lee Jae-heon’ just as Jeong In-ho wanted.

I spit out all the stories I told in the last episode without leaving anything out, and I also said things I didn’t say back then.

‘If it’s this level of privacy, there won’t be a big problem with probability.’

First of all, since it was conducted in a much more relaxed and calm state than the last time, I thought there should be a mental difference from then, but it wasn’t much of a story. Even the quick-witted protagonist and the doctor would not have noticed any major problems as the events of his past life were appropriately mixed together.

However, after the story was finished and there was a moment of silence.

“….”

“….”

“…Huh….”

“Why are you doing this?”

“Heuhuhuh….”

The listeners’ reaction made Jaeheon Lee startled.

“I’m the manager…!”

Their reactions were generally divided into two categories: crying or laughing. Of course, based on the basics, they looked dumbfounded, shocked, or surprised.

“Oh, what is it, why what…! “Why are you doing this?”

Lee Jae-heon ran away, gently avoiding Kwon Yeon-hee, who was trying to cling to him, but he was so sad that he felt like he was doing nothing to avoid the small, sobbing woman who was crying so loudly that he ended up being caught. I don’t like it when someone clings to me and cries, but it’s not to the point where I can’t bear it.

However, I was very annoyed by the fact that some of the party members, including the protagonist, dismissed Lee Jae-heon’s sincere surprise as just acting. It is true that this is roughly the concept, but sometimes it felt strangely confusing in situations like this where sincerity was mistaken for acting. I raised tiger cubs.

And surprisingly, the person who had the biggest response was intern Noh Yeon-seok.

“…an elementary school student?”

“…uh.”

“Elementary school student?”

“uh.”

“Elementary school….”

“Stop there.”

It seemed a little broken.

‘Well, was he scared of me?’

Noh Yeon-seok was the person who most felt the gap between old man Manager Lee Jae-heon and ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

He had such a strong mental power that he couldn’t understand how he lived by deliberately separating his personality, and he was also the weakest mentally, barely able to protect his mind by putting all his physical strength into it.

So, for a while, I felt like a monster and avoided Lee Jae-heon or kept quiet, but when I heard the story, I realized that this guy had been running around in a secret world since he was a harmless elementary school student. Of course, it wasn’t as harmless a time as he thought, but he could be sure that the wall he had felt about the author ‘Lee Jae-heon’ had been completely broken down.

“Why are you saying that now…!”

“….”

“No, why do you say that so calmly? Seriously! You made it seem so obvious that I almost understood it! If you’re an elementary school student, aren’t you still in your early teens no matter how well you play? “He’s a kid!”

“But around senior year….”

“Up to 13 years old! At least 11 years old!”

“Stop it. “There’s no need to be that specific.”

Lee Jae-heon suddenly felt struck by something familiar.

‘Is it because of my mood that the reaction seems to be more intense than the last episode?’

Of course, it wasn’t my fault. Isn’t there a difference in terms of time and situational background? It is true that just as ‘Lee Jae-heon’ has changed, the current intern Noh Yeon-seok is also changing.

I just wanted to be amazed.

‘It’s hard to make a living.’

In this way, Lee Jae-heon was able to use the best acting skills he could to end the story with the concept of ‘Hey, I really didn’t want to say this, but my thoughts changed very slightly, and I’m saying it because it’s you.’

Even things outside the world, such as past history or the influence of the green algae monster.

“….”

“…Why.”

“Oh no.”

Around that time, Lee Jae-heon felt a strange sense of discomfort with Kang Min-ah.

‘… What’s really going on?’

If you think about it, in the last episode, Kang Min-ah’s lines where she talked about Lee Jae-heon several times were deleted. Perhaps the sense of discomfort Jaeheon Lee feels comes from that. However, since the situations themselves were different between the previous episode and the current episode, it was natural for there to be changes in the lines.

Then, just as he was wondering where the discomfort he was feeling came from, Kwon Yeon-hee, who had been crying for a while while clinging to Lee Jae-heon, opened her mouth with an almost sad look on her face.

“…Let’s leave the manager out of today’s collection team.”

“what?”

“great.”

“These people.”

My opinion is?

The group kept their heads down among themselves, as if they couldn’t see Lee Jae-heon, who was looking at them with such an absurd expression.

In fact, he half knew it would turn out like this, but Jaeheon Lee couldn’t hide his sense of futility. Have you seen these ungrateful bastards?

“I made that trap.”

“There must be someone who made it and someone who made it.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if we just go together? “It’s something you can just watch from the outside.”

“If that’s the case, why do you want to go with me?”

“As I go, I pick more glass apples and fetch water… There’s a lot to do when I get there.”

“That’s something we can do too, sir.”

“No really.”

Jaeheon Lee was interrupted repeatedly and pressed his temple with one hand.

‘Well, he’s the kind of guy who started making fish traps by making beds out of wood and tying them up…’ It’s

not that I don’t understand it at all, but I was annoyed. From the chicks’ point of view, I realized that Lee Jae-heon was probably doing that because he was worried, but it was a different story from what he was feeling.

He felt the decline in his own value was more terrible than anything else. Aren’t humans the ones who can abandon each other at any time when pushed into an extreme situation? Memories quickly fade and lose meaning, but minor inconveniences remain imprinted for a long time.

Saying that it wasn’t a big deal at the time had no value before excited human emotions. Lee Jae-heon, who knew this very well, found it difficult to accept the party’s kindness intact.

“But…”

I was so disappointed that I couldn’t help but open my mouth again,

“Manager.”

“…uh?”

“rest.”

“….”

“I’ll be back.”

I was left speechless by the protagonist’s remarks.

Judging by the way that disgusting bastard’s eyes had circled once and a half, I was convinced that I shouldn’t go any further. Even though I am not Detective Hong, it was an intuition that was almost a survival instinct.

“…All right.”

In the end, it was Lee Jae-heon who bowed first.

‘It’s something that can’t be helped.’

Well, in order to kill the green algae monster in one go in this episode, I had to calm down the mentally unstable protagonist and proceed with the work. Since I had to finish a 5km marathon while barely picking up uncooked peas with chopsticks, I couldn’t give myself strength from the beginning. Then bounce away.

“I’ll probably be sitting near the bonfire and having a good time, so why don’t you come back and have a look?”

“Oh my gosh, are you angry?”

“Really…”

And it was right to take a break right now.

“But your physical condition… isn’t very good.”

“….”

It was because I couldn’t refute those words.

In the previous episode, thanks to the main character suffering for me, my head turned around and my body felt much lighter. Of course, right before he died, he was tattered like a piece of rag thanks to a trash named Song In-myeong, but even that was better than before he ate the fruit. So I pretended to be a monster.

‘But I can’t say it’s good right now even with empty words.’

It didn’t hurt at first, but when it hurts again, my stomach becomes more painful than before. When I was in constant pain, I didn’t think much of it, but people go crazy after taking a short break. This means that even when torturing, there is no need to include a short break so that the subject can rest.

Lee Jae-heon’s current condition was similar to that.

‘I feel sluggish.’

And it hurt.

“Speaking of which, I will wash the bandage once more and come back. Ha Seong-yoon, can you take a look at the manager’s wounds later?”

“sure. I hope you were looking at the fire as you said. Since there are no other medications, shouldn’t we just trust in our own self-healing power as much as possible? “I understand you want to help us, but sometimes it helps to take a break.”

“…Okay, so please stop nagging me…”

Lee Jae-heon openly avoided eye contact and made an embarrassed expression.

It’s been a while since I returned from the last episode, so I’m saying my mind is starting to recover, but honestly, even just before I returned, my mentality wasn’t that good. I thought it was probably because the mental burden of Ha Seong-yoon and Lee Yun-byeol was shifted to him.

However, despite this, his condition was better than before he ate the fruit, and thanks to that, he seemed to have suffered some of its effects immediately after returning. I don’t remember for sure how much mental strain he was feeling at this point, but seeing as his head was spinning quite a bit, it wasn’t a bad situation right now.

Yes, for now.

“Mister, would you like to eat this?”

“…It’s okay.”

“The doctor said that sugar is good for your health…”

“Fuck it, give it to me.”

“Oh yea.”

Jaeheon Lee took a bite of the very finely split glass apple handed to him by student Dayoung Park and sighed.

‘I have a feeling that things will get worse soon.’

It’s funny because it seems like he’s changing his mind, but he didn’t know that it was surprising that his mind was turned this much thanks to being sweetly roasted by Song In-myeong right before his return. Maybe it wasn’t because I wasn’t in the building, but it wasn’t that hard, but it was a direct trauma.

If I wasn’t affected by the situation I experienced before regression, I didn’t know that something would affect me immediately after regression.

‘Some kind of awakening state or something.’

Isn’t there a thing in games where, when a character dies and is resurrected, no damage is received for a while? I thought it was probably in a similar context.

So, to conclude, resting when you can is a wise decision in many ways. It seems that the more Lee Jae-heon stays still, the better the protagonist’s spirit becomes.

“Chief, then please rest.”

“How many times do I have to tell you that I understand?”

“Don’t go anywhere.”

“….”

“…don’t go.”

“I’m not going. I’m not going. “I have nowhere to go….”

Lee Jae-heon was shocked and continued speaking quickly because his behavior of emphasizing that he had not answered was unusual.

“Then I’m glad.”

“…Huh….”

Lee Jae-heon got tired of the sincere smile.

To be honest, Jung In-ho himself seems uncomfortable with the fact that he has to take care of Director Lee Jae-heon’s well-being, but seeing him do it this way made me realize how big of a shock the last episode was. Ignoring physiological repulsion and becoming so desperate.

‘At that rate, it seems like they think of me as a talisman.’

Roughly, the effect is something like ‘nullifying human damage when possessed’? In short, it seemed like he was just thinking a very foolish idea, ‘If Lee Jae-heon is alive, no one will die.’ If it weren’t for the main character’s condition, it was a delusion that would make me want to scratch my head.

Hey, I’m human too. Even if I’m alive, I can’t save everyone else. Jaeheon Lee felt a little mortified, but could not speak honestly, so he looked at the departing foraging team with a vain gaze.

“…Why did student Park Da-hoon join in?”

“Well, I volunteered… because I didn’t think it would be too dangerous in the morning…”

“Uh… okay. “If you volunteered, I have nothing to say.”

At those words, the 18-year-old student with a sturdy physique tried hard to hide his joy. Lee Jae-heon, who had missed seeing that, continued speaking with a natural and faint expression of worry on his face.

“I can’t help it because this will be a helpful experience in the future… but never stand in front. Adults can do all that. know?”

“…But still…” Anyway,

you seem like a chick who lacks love. It’s so refreshing to hear all of this in person.

“are you okay. You see that creepy black guy over there. If a monster pops out, just hide there. “Stick to the back and use it as a shield.”

“…Boss?”

“I’m sure our Deputy Jeong wouldn’t put an 18-year-old in danger. is not it?”

“That’s right, but…”

They talked lightly, but in a heavier atmosphere than the last time, and soon started walking. Unlike the previous timeline, I thought that it would take some time to pick fruit, draw water, and wash the bandage in addition to the fish trap.

And Lee Jae-heon blinked slowly as the gazes were staring at him as if piercing the back of his head.

“….”

“…Do you want to take a break?”

“…Sure.”

Now the bomb that was thrown had to be removed.

There was no person who would not ask any questions after hearing such a history of the past.
