Chapter 58 – 58. Lingering

“Sister, brother is here.”

As I headed towards the entrance of the battlefield, two lovers recognized me and approached me. I looked at Seol Da-jin indifferently as I greeted Jeong Ha-ryun, who approached with a gunshot.

“…What?”

A snowball fight ensues with her, who complained as if she was not saying hello to her. The first thing I looked at was Seol Da-jin, who had a stabbing corner.

“What, what is it?”

“What did you do yesterday?”

“I-I just slept.”

“Why?”

“No, it’s just blood, I’m tired.”

Slowly anxious eyes look at this side. I asked again. More specific this time.

“What did you do from dawn to morning yesterday?”

“Everything, a running race…?”

Yes, I must have run a running race.
With alcohol in front.

When I let out a small sigh, Seol Da-jin also smiled awkwardly.

“Isn’t it a bit funny even if my sister said it?”

“Uh.”

“What do you want to say next?”

“Sorry. Shall we talk next time?”

“I know. And when you’re tired, just go home and sleep. Don’t leak anywhere else. Next time, I’ll be really angry.”

“Okay, I won’t.”

When she said she was angry, she answered seriously rather than casually like before.

Enough of the nagging would be enough.

I nodded and went into the hive battlefield, refreshing the atmosphere.

“It has become quite quiet.”

The battlefield, which had been a long time coming, had a completely different atmosphere from the first one. The academies, who were making a lot of noise in a gang, were not visible, and the former cleaners who were in conflict were also quiet.

That said, if the number of hunters decreased, that wasn’t the case either. They simply ignored each other, but the number itself did not decrease significantly.

“What happened?”

“Iknow, right.”

Seol Da-jin and Jeong Ha-ryun, who were not accustomed to that silence, spat out one word at a time. I was also curious and called a hunter who was a scavenger passing by.

Then he turned his head, blinked, and pointed at us.

“Oh, uh! Then that traitor school party!”

What’s with that stupid nickname?

When he frowned because he was called by a strange name, he smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic.

“You said you couldn’t see it after the hunting festival, but did you join SSLK? Wow, too.”

“Well, I was lucky. But what did you just say?”

Yang Hak thinks so because the military power we showed is so outstanding, but are you a traitor?

“Ah, that’s… Ha, ha ha.”

As I take a step closer with a smiling face, Seol Da-jin surrounds him with the same face as mine. He sighed deeply, as if he thought it was wrong to run away, and finally began to explain why he was nicknamed that way.

“So Oh Mi-yoon said that I betrayed him?”

“Yeah. That, it is.”

While we were resting after the hunting festival, Oh Mi-yoon said that he was agitating the hunters on the battlefield.

Originally, as former cleaners, we decided to join forces, but we betrayed them.

‘Something that doesn’t work.’

I haven’t seen it that way, but it’s a bit ugly.

When I thought I would have to pay for that sin once in the future, he continued as if it wasn’t necessary.

“But suddenly, a former party member detonated a bomb!”

“Bomb?”

“Yeah. I heard you sold yourself to Do Chang-woon?”

It was that Oh Mi-yoon’s former party members, who were abandoned during the hunting festival, had uncovered and exposed her secret.

Even with the evidence.
It happened just last week.

‘…I missed an interesting spectacle.’

It’ll come in just a week.

“But why is the atmosphere like this again? It used to be noisy.”

“Oh that. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not. Perfect when Oh Mi-yoon’s private parts are revealed! Rumors started to spread that Do Chang-woon had been arrested.”

The Ma family and Sungshin Group moved directly. He said he committed cheating at the hunting festival.

Rumors are usually inflated, so it wasn’t very reliable information.

‘If it were real, it would have appeared on the Hunter app or YouTube… Oh, did it not get attention because it was D-class?’

I’ll have to ask my aunt again later.
I don’t know if I’ll tell you because I’m a thorough person who distinguishes between public and private.

Whatever.

To summarize his explanation, it was the first crushing defeat in the hunting festival, and the rumors that even Do Chang-woon had become a criminal had killed the spirits of the academies.

Thanks to you, peace came like this.

‘Seo Ga-hee…It’s obvious without looking at it.’

If she attacked Do Chang-woon and was defeated, she would have lost her position as well. Sure enough, testimonies continued that they hadn’t seen her on the battlefield for quite some time.

When I sent the hunter who answered the question wholeheartedly, Seol Da-jin said as if he was a teacher.

“Oh Mi-yoon, that bitch, I knew it would be like that ever since she abandoned her old colleague.”

When I nodded lightly in agreement, Jung Ha-ryun, who was thinking hard about something, opened his mouth.

“Yeah… But did he really sell himself? I didn’t see him like that.”

“Well, maybe he misunderstood that he was dating someone else. Surprisingly, there are many people like that among former cleaners.”

“Yeah? Is there a lot?”

“Then. At first, there are so many people who liked it saying that it was a rise in status, but later whined about being eaten.”

Seol Da-jin clicked his tongue and continued talking.

“Well, the real chews are the academies that are so innocent. Sometimes there are babies like that. Garbage that works while boasting that they are from the academy.”

“Are there guys like that?”

When I interjected, she shrugged as if it were natural.

“Of course not. You know one too.”

“…Uh?”

“Don’t you remember the bastard you made into a half asshole during the clan war?”

“Ah.”

That sybalum.

“What did the cubs work like that and get rid of it.”

Then I’ll tell you a little bit earlier.
Then I’m giving you one more break.

But wait.

“Didn’t you tell me that you confessed to me before?”

“Uh?”

“Do you speak differently?”

The tone is very different.

“No, that’s… Ai-san… Just have a good memory!”

“What. Why did you do that? Tell me.”

As I urged her to cling to her side, she let out a deep sigh, her cheeks slightly flushed.

“…I did it to make you jealous. Are you okay?”

At Seol Da-jin’s words, Jung Ha-ryun and I blinked our eyes open, and she burst into laughter.

“Sister…”

“Kuk-ku.”

“…Don’t laugh, kids!”

Embarrassed, she waved her hand in the air.

As she talked about this and that, she arrived in front of the gate she applied for. It was the ‘Bone Grave’, the first D-level gate we entered.

“…Fuck, ghoul priest bastard. I will repay you for the humiliation you suffered.”

He was shouting revenge in words, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like he’s trying to take revenge on us for making fun of him.

Cute

‘Come to think of it, Ha-ryun did it this time, so it’s my sister’s turn next.’

I move my feet into the gate thinking that I should be cute when we have sex later.

* * *

It was already late at night when I came out of the hive after disabling the orc hunting grounds twice following Bone Grave.

“Hey, are you going to the dojang tomorrow?”

“Uh. You should go in the morning and come back in the afternoon.”

“Then call me when you’re done. Can we gather here?”

Dajin Seol, who nodded and said see you tomorrow, disappeared with the roar of the bike.

“Brother, then see you tomorrow.”

After sending Jeong Ha-ryun and waiting for a call taxi, a woman in a familiar outfit approached me from the Hive side.

A suit showing under an air jumper, a baseball bat in hand.

It was Seo Ga-hee.

If you’re on your guard, stop at a distance where your sword can’t reach. The dark, invisible face comes into view.

Quoting.

Like someone who stayed up all night.

“…Hey. Let’s ask something when we meet Kim.”

The weak voice cracked and weary.
If you don’t answer and stay still, she will talk to you.

“Isn’t it an unexpected quest? Or… Have you ever seen a message window?”

He was stunned for a moment, but managed to maintain his composure.
Messenger does not indicate the sender. It was a fact that had already been confirmed through lovers.

So there was no way for her to know that it was me who sent her sudden quest message.

“No. What is that?”

“…Yes. It’s okay if you don’t know.”

When she pretended not to know, she turned her back in vain, as if she hadn’t expected much from the beginning.

I can hear the sigh from here.

‘Could it be that he’s doing that because he has no regrets about the unexpected quest?’

As I watched her wandering away, her call taxi stopped in front of me.

While I climbed into the taxi and went to my room, I remembered the back of Seo Ga-hee, who was no different from a disabled person.

‘Well.’

It might seem a bit pitiful.
However, she had no intention of signing a contract. Because I can still remember the way you fought with me.

There.

‘I’m still not cheap.’

So no contract.

‘Should I just ignore it?’

If not

‘Shall I give you a chance?’

After thinking over and over again, I decided to give it a chance instead of an opportunity and watch it for the time being.

It is also true that the number of Do Chang-woon’s gang could have been easily reduced thanks to her.

Maybe I can give you a little bit of trouble.

I made up a few quests based on my thoughts and went to bed.

Tomorrow was the day to learn geosimryu in earnest.
