Chapter 252 – Sujeong Choi’s Awakening

While me and Park Ye-seo were talking, Han Yeon-joo and Choi Soo-jung finished their errands.
That time was never long.

But for some reason, Choi Soo-jeong had a tired face.

I thought I knew why she looked like this.

‘It’s completely against common sense.’

I promised her that I would make her a hunter.
As a result, they came all the way here.
After a short conversation with Han Yeon-joo, Choi Soo-jeong received a small glass bottle.
The liquid inside it awakens ordinary people.
It was obviously unbelievable.

“Yes, see you next week.”
“Yes, fighting.”

Park Ye-seo laughed and said.
The word ‘fighting’ was unexpected, so I smiled at him.

“I don’t know what it is, but I’m fighting too!”

Yeonjoo Han said.
She even made a slightly meaningful expression, but it was the face I thought Choi Soo-jung would do something with.
It was difficult to pass it simply because a first-class mage had such an expression.
In fact, she even blindly waited for me at the Yongsan Underground Shopping Center.
The same thing happened twice in her previous life and in this life.
A performance she met in her previous life could not continue her relationship with me and became her secret location.

Maybe she was using her foresight to see the future of me and her Choi Soo-jung.

‘Sex.’

Until now, there had never been such an atmosphere between Choi Soo-jeong and me.
Of course, the moment the side quest was completed, Choi Soo-jeong’s liking rate was supposed to be 100%.
Her likability was now 60 percent.
Even if she received an additional 50% favorability as a reward, it would not exceed 100% anyway, so Soo-jung Choi would trust me completely.

We came out of Han Yeon-ju’s house together.

“How was it?”
“Hmm…”

Sujeong Choi tilted her head at my question.

“Am I really going to become a Hunter?”

It was an ambiguous question to whom to ask.
It was also a way of speaking that gave off a self-deprecating feeling about what I was doing here.

“It will definitely happen. Don’t doubt what you got from Yeon Joo noona and drink it. I don’t know if I said it, but my older sister is an S-class wizard.”
“Yes? S-class?”

Choi Soo-jung’s eyes widened.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the old man’s house that had just come out.

The S-class Hunter itself is very precious.
Besides, he’s an S-class wizard.

Choi Soo-jung’s gaze turned to me once again, but at least until now, Choi Soo-jeong and I hadn’t joked about this.

“Haaa…”

Sujeong Choi sighed with an expression that she did not know how much to believe.

I drove her to her house in her own car.

We parted without further conversation.

#

【The side quest has been completed.】
【’Choi Sujeong”s favorability rating has risen to 100%.】

That was the message that came to my mind as I sat on the bed.
Whatever the case, it seemed that Choi Soo-jung drank the solution Han Yeon-joo had given her.
She may not yet be aware that she has awakened as a Hunter.
But the system message that popped up in front of me clearly told me about her change.

I gulped down the recovery potion ‘Potion-R’ I was holding in my hand.
Drinking this will give you a huge desire for sleep and a feeling of hunger at the same time.
But I just finished eating a large meal.
In this case, the feeling of hunger could be suppressed to a large extent in my experience.
But as soon as you open your eyes, you will be hungry again.
Just in case, I made a sandwich and put it in the fridge.
All of them were actions that were not very different from the habits of the previous life.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I closed my eyes.
It’s not that it’s not, these days I’ve been enduring a huge schedule.
It was a day with a bit of leisure because I didn’t have to work with Rua Kim, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t tired.
I literally fell asleep like I was dead.

#

It was right after she finished her morning training that Soo-jung Choi was contacted.
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the call came at the timing when I stopped training to eat lunch.

“Mr. Sujeong.”

I said the name without realizing it, but when I heard the unfamiliar woman’s name, Shin Hye-yeon, Park Eun-ha, and Kim Ea-na all looked at me at the same time.
In this atmosphere, I wanted to know how to introduce Kim Rua.
She was more awkward to introduce as a new party member, having shot commercials and millions of views on YouTube with her.

– Mr. Seong-gyu…

Sujeong Choi’s voice was meaningful.
I had already seen the quest completion message before going to bed yesterday, so I could see why her reaction was like this.

“Have you checked?”
– Check?
“You have a personal meter. If you check with that, you don’t have to go to the management office.”
– Ah… Isn’t it?

Choi Su-jeong said that although she was an investor with excellent intelligence, this was the first time she had become a hunter, so she seemed to have missed the basic facts.

“Have you noticed any change?”
– Yes, suddenly full of energy. I have a migraine and that is gone too. How quickly the charts you see every day can be analyzed…
“Analysis?”

I paid attention to what she said.
I wondered if that would be the case, but Choi Soo-jung’s ability, which she acquired while becoming a hunter, seemed to be on the ‘analysis’ side.
So, after awakening, my prediction that she gained tremendous analytical skills and went on a winning streak as an investor was correct.
General ‘analysis’ skills could not give her professional skills so much synergy.
I became curious about her rating.

“Or do you want to check it out with me since I’m dropping by for dinner?”
– Would you please?

Her likability was 100 percent.
Deep down, as much as she had hoped to be a Hunter, she would be disappointed if she didn’t do well.
I wonder if she’d rather give up and live, because I resolutely put in the wind that I could become a Hunter.
She even introduced her to the performance of an S-class wizard, so she couldn’t help but expect Choi Soo-jung.

“I’ll go over there after dinner.”
– No, it’s okay to come here for dinner.
“Like last time, I invited the chef, and then I felt a bit burdened…”
– No, I’ll do it. Cooking. I’m not good at it, but I’m always the type to do it by myself.

I thought for a second.
It was easy to answer, but there was another part that I was worried about.
After training, you’ll be hungry like crazy.
I wondered if I would be able to drive to Choi Soo-jung’s house.

‘I should simply eat something.’

I thought that if I bought something from a convenience store and ate it, I would be less hungry.

“Yes, yes, then.”
– Thank you. I’ll be waiting for you.

In the line, ‘I’ll be waiting for you’, a different atmosphere from yesterday was conveyed.
It was the first time I thought that it might really turn out like that, as Han Yeon-joo predicted.

“Who is this? Mr. Sujeong?”

Kim Eana pouted her lips slightly and asked.

“So that’s…”

I explained who Sujeong Choi was so that the women would not misunderstand.
I’ve talked about it briefly before, but I didn’t say gender or specific details.

“You mean an investor. So, did you invest?”

Park Eun-ha, who jumped into the adult world at an early age, responded calmly.

“Yeah, the story is going well. We decided to have dinner tonight, so we should talk more.”
“Dinner? Aren’t you interested in Sunggyu?”

Kim Eana asked in a wary tone.

‘I’m interested…’

I can’t say no.
Because the system message clearly told me that the crush rate was 100%.

“We only met twice. I was just talking about work. It will be like that today.”

I just said that.
It wasn’t really a lie, but it wasn’t that there wasn’t a lot of teasing.

“I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”

Shin Hye-yeon said something that refreshed the atmosphere.
Somehow, there was a nuance that it was to help me.

After we wiped our sweat, we left the training room together.

When I saw Choi Soo-jeong again, I was able to recognize it at once.
She realizes that she has become a Hunter.
And the atmosphere she conveyed from her was never light.

“Welcome.”

It wasn’t just mana that was clearly felt that had changed.
Choi Soo-jung greeted me with her expectant face.
When she saw me, she put on an embarrassing look, and her face flushed, even though she must not have been drinking.

“Sorry. You even cook for me.”

A delicious smell wafted downstairs.
Not only that, but there was also the sound of atmospheric music.

I reflexively recalled the expression Han Yeon-joo had on seeing Choi Soo-jeong off with me.
Did he also exercise his foresight?

“No. Cooking is what I always do. Come on in.”

I was guided by Soo-jeong Choi and entered her second home.
I got the impression that it was very splendid to say that it was a house where a woman lived alone.

I used my ‘scouter’ ability to see Choi Su-jeong’s information.

‘Also…’

As expected, she awakened her ability to ‘analyze’.
And the rating was surprisingly S-class.
