Episode 53
Sumire’s neatly arranged room.
Amy glanced around lightly and sighed.
“It’s Seven Number’s room, but it’s simple, isn’t it? It’s such a large room~ It would have been nice to bring a few things.”
Sumire vigorously shook her hand at Amy’s words.
“Oh no… this is really enough! There is a TV, there is a refrigerator, and ice comes out of the water purifier…”
Compared to Sumire’s poor life as a child, Gaon’s facility was heaven.
“Oh, and hot water! If you think about it… When I was young, I was most afraid of taking a bath in the winter… It’s a really good thing.”
Sumire started muttering with a gloomy aura. Amy, who had lived a relatively wealthy life, could not even imagine what Sumire had been through.
“Oh hot water? What the hell… What kind of life have you been living?”
Sumire’s wisdom of life, such as [When the water is cut off because she has not paid the water tax for 3 months, collects rainwater in a rubber basin] [Waste paper must be sold on a rainy day to get more value], is probably a lifelong wisdom that Amy will never know. information.
“Ah, but it’s really good! It happened when I was very young anyway, and even in Japan… I never went hungry after entering the academy.”
“Uh… that’s right.”
Sumire’s negative aura that even the positive atmosphere of Amy can’t overcome.
“Come to think of it… When I lived in Okinawa, my house was near the sea. It was good to catch fish during vacation. Of course, I fell into the water while fishing and my friends made fun of me for smelling fishy, but…”
Sumire muttered to herself over and over again. Amy looked at Sumire with a pitying gaze without realizing it.
‘…what is this? This feeling of wanting to do something?’
Seeing Amy’s pitiful eyes, Sumire hurriedly shook her hand.
“still! this is fine now! Become number 7 and get support money! Thanks to you, I’m sending living expenses to my family too! …I’m so glad.”
“…is that so? I see That’s very fortunate.”
Amy nodded shyly.
In a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Amy raised the tension again.
“ah! right! Didn’t you say this was your first time with the 2 days and 1 night schedule? Hey~ I’m an expert at this again!”
Amy checked each and every item Sumire had prepared.
Cooking utensils powered by mana.
From sanitary items such as toothbrushes to food and snacks, Sumire had packed a lot of things.
“Oh, how is it? In fact, there are people who go naked! Enough of this!”
“Oh, thank you!”
Sumire bowed her head.
Amy smiled and poked Sumire in the stomach in a charming way.
“Ah~ What’s this about party members? Oh, but you can’t…”
Amy, who was talking, asked with a doubtful expression if she remembered something.
“You’re not going to go back to the old dress you were wearing back then, are you? As long as I’m there, that’s never going to happen! These days, image making is important even for hunters!”
“yes yes!? Oh, that dress… It sure is old, right? These are the clothes my mother used to wear.”
Let’s laugh shyly as if Sumire is embarrassed. Amy broke into a cold sweat, avoiding Sumire’s gaze.
“Ehh!? Did I say I’m old? I must have said it was old-fashioned wrong!?”
“…Oh no. I had no interest in clothes. Even if you don’t force it… you don’t
have to tell me…” Sumire tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, but the situation got more and more twisted. Amy smiled shyly.
“Ah ah ha… that’s right! Then how about it!? It’s like clothes. I can pick them out. is not it!?”
“…Eh, Amy herself? But, in particular, the clothes… I’m not as pretty as Amy-san, even if I try to dress up…”
Mumbled.
Sumire digs into the ground as usual. Amy grabbed Sumire’s hand as if she couldn’t do it.
“kid! it’s okay! ruler! Hurry up and follow me! I’ll buy it for you!”
“… Mister Amy?”
Let Amy clap your hands. Sumire’s cheeks turned red as she looked at the hand she held.
“Don’t be afraid~ I wanted to try it on too. Everything should be as good as you. It suits you!”
Sumire still didn’t know the meaning behind Amy’s words.
* * *
Academy City branch of the Hunter Association.
A long limousine stopped in front of a state-of-the-art facility. Shin Yuseong looked at the limousine to see if he was familiar with it.
‘You’re here.’
Sure enough, the driver politely opens the door. Kim Eun-ah walked out of the limousine.
“…hmm.”
Kim Eun-ah looking at Shin Yoo-seong from afar. Even though it was only a short distance from the entrance, the bodyguards covered Kim Eun-ah with parasols and served her in extreme poverty.
Treated like a princess.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the building, Kim Eun-ah made the bodyguards retreat with a single hand gesture.
“Hey, isn’t it too late this time?”
Kim Eun-ah smiled and then lowered her sunglasses and started talking. Sumire widened her eyes.
“City Shin Yuseong? That person…of Class A?”
The sudden appearance of Kim Eun-ah. Shin Yoo-seong smiled and explained to Sumire, who was taken aback.
“Are you surprised, Sumire? This is the new party member I was talking about.”
“Class A’s…”
The majesty of class A’s captain is overwhelming.
Sumire, who had a habit, was holding on to Shin Yoo-seong’s clothes without realizing it. Actually, Kim Eun-ah didn’t seem to care about Sumire.
“Such a good day. A dungeon raid…”
Kim Eun-ah looked up and down at Sumire. Sumire involuntarily shrugged. Kim Eun-ah looked at Sumire disapprovingly.
“…but why is he dressed like this? Where are you going on a picnic?”
A challenging outfit that Sumire doesn’t normally wear. Sumire was stunned by Kim Eun-ah’s words.
“Isn’t it? As expected… clothes like this don’t suit me, right? That’s why I refused too…”
Let Sumire, who was stunned, give off a dark aura. Kim Eun-ah looked puzzled for some reason.
“Oh no, I’m not saying that…”
Kim Eun-ah had a history of being dried up by Amy’s particularly bright face. Sumire is the complete opposite of Amy. Seeing Sumire digging the ground, Kim Eun-ah sent a signal to Shin Yoo-seong with her eyes.
‘Take care of him!’
Yooseong Shin praised Sumire for mediating the situation.
“No Sumire. It fits well enough.”
Anger –
Sumire’s face flushed and became quiet.
‘Poetry Shin Yoo-seong. My ears are cute…’
While I was delusional, even attaching the fact that Sumire didn’t exist, Meirin in a qipao slowly approached me with lofty steps.
“This is Meirin, who has been appointed as the guide.”
Meirin’s monotonous greeting.
“Is this person… the manager?”
Eunah Kim made a strange expression as to whether she knew Meirin. As Kim Eun-ah thought, it was unusual for Mei-Lin, the manager of the branch, to be directly in charge of the guidance. Meirin looked at Kim Eun-ah and replied with a blunt face.
“Student Shin Yoo-seong asked for guidance from the president of the association.”
Kang Yu-chan, president of the association.
At his name, Eunah Kim nodded slowly.
“Are you my grandfather’s friend? Well, if the level asked for it, the manager would have to come out himself.”
Meirin’s expression hardened moment by moment.
Kim Eun-ah was the first time that Meirin, who was one of the best hunters, was treated like this by a 17-year-old student.
‘…What a cheeky kid.’
However, Shin Yoo-seong was a guest requested by Kang Yoo-chan, and Kim Eun-ah was the granddaughter of the chairman of Shinsung Group. Meirin hid her expression as usual.
“you’re right. Then I will guide you directly to the portal room. It is completely free of charge.”
Meilin started guiding the group by walking like a model.
“The location is designated as A-32. It’s a round trip, so prepare a portable coordinate device.”
Meirin, who passes by the people concerned and naturally places an order.
Gooh –
In front of the blue portal that made a grand sound, Meirin started explaining about the nyeolyong.
“The target, a stilt dragon, is in the largest lake on Mount Everline. Can breathe underwater I spend most of my time submerged.”
Yuseong Shin interrupted Meilin’s explanation.
“But don’t you always come out of the water at sunrise?”
Meirin laughed with an expression of fun at Shin Yoo-seong’s answer.
“you’re right. You are also knowledgeable about the boss. Then, do you know where the stilt dragon that came out of the water is headed?”
“…Isn’t that the closest rock to the lake?”
Shin Yoo-seong’s immediate answer was the correct answer.
When the sun rises, the yewryong lays down on a huge rock. It was because the scales of the nyeolyong had a unique property of converting solar heat into energy.
‘Did you learn from Mt. Musin? Still, students know that. Interesting.’
Meirin relaxed her stiff expression and smiled softly.
“…Amazing. Since it is such a rare object, there would have been no information about it.”
Shin Yoo-seong has already thoroughly prepared. A situation where even a trap was prepared with hunter supplies to kill Oolong.
“great. So let’s start the transfer right away. Please keep in mind. After two days, you must return even if the treatment fails.”
Meilin’s tone was still stiff, but there was a slight hint of goodwill in her expression. The manager’s well-prepared hunter was always a plus factor.
“Then let’s start the transfer to the A-32. …I pray that the attack will be successful.”
The portal started working with Meirin’s words. Blue light rippling like waves.
‘…That I’ve become stronger. I’ll show you!’
Sumire made a resolution with burning determination, and Kim Eun-ah opened her mouth with a confident face.
“What a water attribute level 4 boss. It’s gum.”
The head of the party, Shin Yoo-seong, was calm.
This is the first mission given directly to Shin Yoo-seong by Kang Yu-chan, the president of the association. Failure was not an option.
‘…without any mistakes. Complete the attack.’
After making their own resolutions, the party walked into the portal for one goal: to defeat the nyeolyong.
