Chapter 168 – 168. New Hunting Grounds

“Mmmm”

After clearing up after breakfast.
After lying around in her bed with my aunt for a long time, I got up after kissing. It was time to return to the guild house.

“Are you going?”

“It’s the day to go to the new hive. I also need to get a work stamp. Auntie, have a good rest today. I’ll take the annual leave out of mine.”

“…It’s nice to hear that.”

As she gently touched the ring finger of her left hand and said, the aunt, who was staring at her hand, smiled softly. I covered her with the blanket and lightly kissed her lips.

“Get some rest, aunt. No, mijeong See you tomorrow.”

“…Huh.”

Leaving behind the short answer, I left the house and headed to the guild house in a borrowed car. After parking, I went inside and saw Gahee Seo burying herself on the sofa in the lobby.

“…You’re coming late.”

Ignoring the grumbling, I took out my phone and sat across from him. Of the points entered yesterday, subtracting points corresponding to the number of times So So-Hye and Jung So-Hee went through the gate could confirm whether Seo Ga-Hee had completed the quest well.

“Did you go around all 4 times? I’m left I thought it would go around three times.”

After confirming the point, I was slightly sarcastic. She snorted at her as if she was dumbfounded, then she said bluntly.

“Can you give me the next quest instead of talking nonsense?”

“Previously. How is it? How do you feel going around the gate for the first time as a contractor?”

“…”

She shuts her mouth at my question and avoids her gaze.
I felt something, so I can’t answer anything much, but to be honest, my pride wouldn’t allow it.

“Well, okay. If you don’t want to talk, don’t.”

Because the reaction I showed now is enough anyway.
I swallowed the gossip and manipulated the messenger to deliver the next quest.

*Quest occurs!
Deactivate 4 Class D Gates within today.
Disabled Gate: [0/4]

*Quest occurs!
Win in sparring with D-class Hunters.
(Excluding Laws guild members)
Wins: [0/1]

“To go round the gate and even fight?”

“But you keep talking nonsense from before?”

“…Yo. This.”

“How long does it take to sparring? You have a lot of friends on the battlefield. Graduates like you. Bring your training equipment and fight anyone.”

“Ha.”

She sighed so loudly that her ground sank, and headed to her indoor training ground, grabbing her training equipment and leaving the guild house. Again, she didn’t even say hello.

‘Let’s see if I can do that later.’

Swallowing a laugh inside, I got up and headed to the second floor. As I unlocked the door and went inside, I heard chatter from the kitchen.

When I went there, Seol Da-jin, So Jeong-hye, and Jeong So-hee were sitting at the table and chatting.

“Oh my, honey. You have been.”

“Daewoong. Have you been?”

“Are you here?”

“I’ve been what were the three of you doing? What about Ha-ryun and Eun-hwa?”

“I just had breakfast and was eating fruit to refresh my mouth. Ha-ryun and Eun-hwa are in the room. Here you go, honey.”

So Jeong-hye, who answered my question as a representative, pokes her fruit with her toothpick and hands it over to me. I put the piece of fruit handed over into my mouth and continued my question.

“By the way, have you had breakfast now?”

“Ah, that’s… Actually yesterday, the three of us, Dajin and Sohee, were trying to get along with each other… So we woke up late.”

Make friends
So Jeong-hye and Seol Da-jin, in a situation where these two people are involved, when it comes to promoting friendship, as expected, alcohol is the only option. I brought my face closer to Seol Da-jin, who was sitting next to me.

“…What are you doing?”

“Check.”

“Hey, don’t worry. Because I drank in moderation.”

“Open your mouth.”

“No, is it real?”

When he puts his hand on the back of Seol Da-jin’s head, he grumbles and opens his mouth slightly. I grabbed her hair and kissed her slightly harshly.

“You seem to have been drinking in moderation.”

It doesn’t smell like alcohol.

“Hey, was I for real?”

“Sorry.”

“What if I say I’m sorry? You must show sincerity. Sincerity. Do it again soon.”

When I kissed him one more time, asking whether or not to do so, So Jeong-hye and Jung So-hee, who were sitting opposite me, came to my side as if they were asking me to do it too.

After kissing one after another, I asked as I hugged the buttocks of the two laughing briskly.

“Are you two going hunting today?”

“Yes, I plan to leave with my eldest sister a little later.”

“Okay? So, a new D-class recruit named Seo Ga-hee came in? I’m active in the battlefield, so if you see it, let me know what you were doing.”

“You mean watch?”

I shook my head at Jung So-hee’s question.

“It is not surveillance. Just come and go and take a look when you see it.”

“All right.”

“Oh, and Jeong-hye asks the magical girls if they are interested in joining the guild. If you are interested, bring it. My sister is getting ready to go.”

“Yes, honey.”

“Hey, but did you get along well with your mother?”

Hearing the answer, he was about to get up from his seat, but Seol Da-jin asked, resting his chin on his chin. I smiled as I remembered the image of my aunt I saw this morning.

“Good job.”

Very well too.

“Already?”

“Already.”

“Well, how will Mom beat you? By the way, if Ha-ryun gets permission to marry, her sister will have to prepare for the meeting?”

“Oh? That’s it? That, should I just get permission on the spot?”

“Then, can I…Follow me?”

“…Are you going to get permission at the meeting? On the spot? Sohee, are you going to follow me?”

When Seol Da-jin asks back as if he was dumbfounded, So Jeong-hye and Jung So-hee’s faces turn red. Even if they said it, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Anyways, good luck.

I will make a place sometime.
Well, before that, I’ll have to make up my mind and find a place to meet.

Even after the meeting, they left the chattering girls behind and went to Jeong Ha-ryun and Ryu Eun-hwa’s room, said goodbye, and came down to the first floor together.

Park Do-gi’s SUV arrives just in time.
After a friendly greeting with him, we headed to the hive ‘Abandoned Land’ where B-level gates are gathered.

“The only thing you see over there.”

So about 20 minutes later.
Park Do-gi, who was holding the steering wheel, pointed at the gray building ahead. Lovers in the back seat showed disappointment in the appearance that was not much different from the hive ‘battlefield’ they had been active in before.

“Looks like nothing’s wrong.”

“I know. Is the inside different?”

To begin with, the interior wasn’t much different either. The structure and facilities are almost the same.

However, one thing.
The atmosphere itself was quite different.

“Quiet… It’s okay…”

Like Jeong Ha-ryun’s impression, the hive itself was quiet and quiet. Everyone came and went, silently bowing or smiling, and no one was talking loudly like a hive ‘battlefield’.

Of course, there were those who made small talk, but even that was only low enough for each other to hear. Even that, if someone else passed by, he would shut up right away.

It’s like sharing a secret.

‘It must be because of image management.’

As expected, that was the only reason why this trend was formed. From the moment he passed the B-class exam, Hunter was like a public figure.

The public’s interest is different from D-class, who don’t even pay attention even if they fight. If, by any chance, gossip arises, not only the same hunters but also the entire nation will know.

So you just have to be careful.

I don’t need to scrape to make a boil, so I should refrain from kissing in the hive. Well, if the lovers ask me to do it, I have no choice but to do it.

Anyway, after visiting the hive, I ran the Hunter app and submitted an attack request to the nearest B-level gate, ‘Oasis of Death’.

“Let’s go.”

I arrived in front of the gate with my party, warmed up as always, did a final check, and jumped into the gate.

What stretched out before my eyes was a desert full of golden sand.

As I was looking around with my dark red sword, Ruth Ben, my lovers and Do-gi Park arrived one after another.

After making sure everyone had arrived, I took out a compass from my pocket.

According to the gate information column, the destination, Oasis, was west of the starting point. Having orientated myself, I signaled my party to depart.

How long has it been since I started looking at the compass like that?

Seol Da-jin, who was walking side by side in front of me, grabbed my body. I immediately raised my fist and gave a hand signal to the party.

“Hey, what’s over there?”

“It sure seems like something is there.”

When Seol Da-jin points to a place where nothing but sand can be seen, Do-gi Park agrees. Seeing the agreement between the two with foresight and insight, I turned my head slightly.

Then, Jeong Ha-ryun naturally stepped forward.
Let the previously stored magic bullet explode at the point indicated.

Quaang!!!

A sand spider the size of a car emerged from a thick cloud of dust. Contrary to its large body, the one who ran at great speed reveals fangs.

The moment I and the contractors in front spread apart to dodge his attack.

“Suck!!”

Unknowingly, Ryu Eun-hwa jumped into the air and struck the double sword like lightning.

Coo!!

As soon as the guy with his head dented in the Geosimryu Geogang fell forward, Seol Da-jin and Park Do-gi, who had spread out, broke his legs one by one.

Slap! A sand spider writhing in pain with a groan. Before long, the twin swords swung once again completely cut off the man’s breath.

There was no need for me to step out, and there was no turn.

Confirming the strength of the contractors who developed the characteristics, I raised my thumb with a rewarding smile.

‘It’s rewarding to have worked hard to raise him.’
