Chapter 13: Brother-in-law ?
I was floating.
I looked back with an uneasy heart.
It's Gu Ra On.
I used my super powers to levitate my body into the air.
Thud thud.
Guraon, wiping the coffee off his mouth, was walking towards me with a murderous expression.
Why are you coming to me? Why to a good citizen like me?
Guraon stood right in front of me, floating. And then he asked in a lively manner.
No, it wasn't a question, it was a confident tone.
"You, you punk. What did you do to me?"
I waved my hands urgently.
"Huh? What, what do you mean-"
"What did I do when I was drinking coffee! I definitely felt a strange magic!"
"I, I don't know anything... I swear..."
The foolish acting that usually bowed down to Han Yi-seul came out on its own.
As expected, regular training is so important.
I didn't know that such a stupid tone and expression would come out,
Guraon, who had been grumbling, also looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"...Isn't that true?"
"No, really..."
"...You seem to be a hunter too. What is your job?"
"He.. I'm a healer..."
"A healer? Is that why you're seeing this kind of energy?"
Guraon looked my body up and down.
As expected from a magician with supernatural powers, it seemed like he was able to see an intangible energy. Guraon, who had been muttering something to himself, laughed heartily.
"Well, I don't care if it's not you. I figured it was you."
Yes? Are you here again?
"...yes?"
"You're the only one here. Do you have any concrete evidence to suggest otherwise?"
I quickly looked around.
Manager Lim, Manager Park, and the security guards.
There was no one else besides him. But that doesn't mean we can sell out Manager Park or the security guards.
'Hello? You don't have any concrete evidence that I did it either!'
I wanted to scream, but what I did was right.
Wow, that's so damn accurate and definite. That's definitely a S-class feeling.
Choi Joo-hyuk also came to my house right away, and Gura-on also guessed it was me right away.
They say that when you become an S-class, you feel something that other people can't feel.
'Just take it?'
Let's put everything down, instead, a crazy sense of victory rises.
As they say, it's easier for people to give up.
Rather, summon an attachment doll to attract aggro,
How about reinforcing Guraon's knees and running away when it's difficult to control?
A courageous thought occurred to me.
Since the position makes the person, once you become an S-class hunter, there is nothing to be afraid of.
'Of course then my life would be over...?'
All these worries were accomplished in one breath.
But then it happened.
"Here is clear evidence that it is not true."
A familiar person walked in at the entrance of the Hunter Association.
It was Choi Joo-hyuk, the S-class hunter who had been chasing me like a chick today.
The moment he discovered Choi Joo-hyuk, Guraon's expression brightened.
"No, who is this! Hyung Joo-hyuk!"
"Stop pretending to be friendly. And get him down right now."
Choi Joo-hyuk said firmly.
Guraon, who had been laughing heartily, started to snicker.
"What? Why me? What's my relationship with this guy? Do you know what he did to me?"
"If you call him that guy again, I'll draw my sword."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
Guraon looked up at me with a bewildered expression.
It was as if he was wondering what on earth this little rat was that the strongest hunter in Korea was protecting.
Hey hey, I'm the one who's being ridiculous.
I've only met Choi Joo-hyuk twice. And then you appear out of nowhere and save my life?
As of now, there is one possibility.
I can't believe it, but...
'...brother-in-law?'
Oh, I seriously regretted saying that.
There's no way the great Choi Joo-hyuk would like someone like Han Yi-seul who washes her hair once every two days.
Anyway, I don't know the exact reason.
But Choi Joo-hyuk was truly preparing to draw his sword to save me. Choi Joo-hyuk's hand tightly gripped the handle of the saber sword.
Kwak
Guraon looked back and forth between me and Choi Joo-hyuk, then waved his hand with an expression that said he was out of breath.
At the same time, my body, which had been floating, came down.
It was actually the right choice.
Guraon has many enemies.
This is because he was notorious for not only stealing gates reserved by others, but also harassing low-level hunters.
However, everyone is keeping their mouths shut just because he is an S-class hunter.
Even if Choi Joo-hyuk were to draw his sword against Guraon, it was clear that everyone would defend Choi Joo-hyuk.
This time, Guraon glared at me.
Well, I'm the easiest.
"I remembered your face. Be careful on your way home at night."
No, what would a S-class hunter say that even a third-rate punk wouldn't say?
If it were my original country, I would have been shocked.
The car still had some spirit of victory left in it, so its mouth moved wildly.
"The youngest of three siblings, his zodiac sign is Taurus, his Chinese zodiac sign is Horse, his address is 2201, Building 102, 871 Roan-ro, his hobby is drinking Blue Mountain Cold Brew, and his favorite movie is Cheommilmil. I remember that too."
"... You little punk, how did you know that?"
I saw Guraon's eyes tremble in surprise as he glared at me.
Even his voice was subtly trembling.
"Um... I'm a fan."
It was an answer that I came up with after much thought.
Anti-fans are also fans, right?
But this must have sounded like this to Guraon's ears.
-Ma! I even know how many spoons there are in your house!
Oh, why, what.
I'm a hunter nerd, so I had easily memorized the personal information of S-class hunters.
Of course, finding out the home address was a bit tricky.
Even though Guraon was a bad guy, there was another reason why he was still alive and well.
'It's a typical strong-weak-weak-strong style.'
The type that actually flinches when you come out strong.
As expected, I went too strong and it seemed like they didn't know what to do.
But Guraon's eyes, which had been filled with bewilderment, soon began to sparkle with life-giving energy like a tiger.
The feeling of wanting to rip this real stalker apart right now was revealed.
Swish
But then, as if he sensed the momentum, Choi Joo-hyuk stepped forward slightly and blocked our path.
In the end, Guraon's attempt to eradicate the true stalker fails,
"...Fuck."
Guraon glared at Choi Joo-hyuk and then left the Hunter Association.
Even though they were both S-class, Choi Joo-hyuk and the other S-class hunters were on different levels.
Three or four hunters like Guraon would have to stick together to be able to fight against Choi Joo-hyuk.
It was a wise choice to tuck your tail between your legs.
I quickly expressed my gratitude.
"Oh, thank you. Are you bothering me for nothing?"
"It's nothing. Aren't you my guild member's family?"
"Oh, still, thank you."
I lowered my head and raised my hand as if I remembered something.
"Oh, but I need to send something at the post office next door. Could you wait here for a moment?"
"yes."
"Yes, I'll be right back!"
I quickly left the Hunter Association.
Didn't the guy who came here go to the right?
I hid behind a landmark and looked toward the sidewalk.
'Oh, there it is.'
We haven't gone far yet.
You're probably angry and won't be able to walk quickly.
I waited patiently.
Then I saw Guraon craning his neck towards the straw of the coffee cup that was floating again.
'yap!'
The speed at which the coffee is sucked through the straw has increased tremendously.
It's like a wave in a raging typhoon.
Hurrrup
Guraon couldn't hold it in any longer and spit out his coffee again.
"Ph...
Guraon looked around with a murderous expression, throwing the coffee cup away.
But I had already returned to the Hunter Association in a low crawl.
It's a shame that I couldn't see Guraon's excited expression because I came in so quickly.
Anyway, the mission was a success.
A cool swearing sound was heard from outside.
"F---ing!"
Oh my, young gentleman.
You should be quiet in public places, tsk.
