Returned With Horns

○

What's with this guy? I heard he was an A-rank hunter, but seeing his dazed appearance, he seemed similar to Oh Sungwon whom I met last time. He even checked the employee ID carelessly.

By the way, I'm not sure when the employee ID slipped into this area. Honestly, it was a bit embarrassing. Probably because after becoming this body, my interest in sexual matters had greatly decreased.

Seeing him constantly chattering while holding a device that looked like a smartphone, it seemed he was still broadcasting. Although there's a regulation that prohibits filming Hunter Association employees for more than 5 minutes, so the frequency of my appearance on that broadcast would be low, it still felt a bit strange.

In the first place, not being able to film for more than 5 minutes? How are they counting each 5 minutes?

Moreover, I wondered why it was 5 minutes. They should either completely prohibit filming or not.

Is it because it's a live broadcast and they can't help it? Even if I'm filmed for 5 minutes, my face will still appear on that broadcast, so I couldn't understand why they set a 5-minute limit.

Well, that's how the higher-ups' desk administration works. Thinking that, I half-listened to what the gate employee in front of me was saying.

"Did you hear everything?"

"Yeah. It's a world-type gate, so don't remove the core, and 30% of monster byproducts belong to the Hunter Association."

"Yes. ...Actually, that person should be listening to this instead of you, Miss Seohyun."

"I'll relay it well. Don't worry."

"Yes. By the way, it's been quite a while since someone from the Returnee Department came for broadcast inspection. It's the first time since Miss Seol-ah came a few months ago."

So Seol-ah had also been through this. I responded vaguely to the topic the gate employee brought up while thinking about that.

"Seol-ah also did broadcast inspection?"

"Yes. In the end, they couldn't upload it to YouTube though."

"Why?"

"The broadcaster who met Miss Seol-ah filmed her blatantly. She appeared for more than 5 minutes, so the broadcast footage was eventually discarded."

"Ah, I see."

Well, Seol-ah does have a violent figure. Although she usually covers it with loose clothes, I knew because I had bumped into that violent figure several times. It wasn't strange for a broadcaster's eyes to go wild upon seeing that figure, which wasn't just plump but voluptuous.

As I nodded in understanding to myself, the association employee tilted his head. What, man.

"Oh my. You're working hard. Have a cup of coffee."

Han Gwangsu, who had somehow approached me and the gate employee, handed a canned coffee to the employee. I'm not sure when he bought it. The employee bowed and accepted the coffee.

"Ah, thank you, Mister Gwangsu. I watch your broadcasts often."

"Haha. Thank you. Then shall we enter now?"

"Yes, yes. I've relayed the precautions to Miss Seohyun, so you can listen to them inside... Today's mana measurement is about 15mg. It's safe."

"Thank you for your hard work. Well then, I'll go in first, employee-nim."

"Yeah."

Han Gwangsu disappeared into the gate first, and I stared at the employee for a moment before quietly stepping into the gate, seeing his tired appearance.

"Wow, it's been a while since I smelled a gate."
[What are you saying]
[You went three days ago]
[Talking nonsense again]
[Are you nervous?]
[Just film noona more, damn it]

Breathing in the usual atmosphere of the chat window and the usual air of the gate, Gwangsu let out a hollow laugh.

A vast plain. Looking at the terrain that was almost the standard for the entrance of world-type gates, Gwangsu opened the canned coffee he had brought.

Slurp, warming up his body while drinking the warm canned coffee, Gwangsu looked around.

Usually, at the entrance of developed world-type gates, there's a camp set up by Hunter Association hunters and volunteers. This gate seemed no different.

While sitting on a chair in the camp and quietly enjoying the surrounding scenery, the gate he had entered flashed and a person came in. It was the Hunter Association employee he had seen earlier. Chae Seohyun.

"Precautions... Well, since it's a world-type gate, don't remove the core, and 30% of byproducts belong to the association."

"Ah, that's information I already know. Shall we go then?"

Nod, nod. The sight of Chae Seohyun nodding was picturesque in itself.

To be honest, Gwangsu also wanted to film her more, as the chat was saying. But thinking about how a few months ago, his fellow streamer and rival had been denied gate entry permission for a while after filming an association employee excessively, he couldn't do that.

"By the way... There are a lot of viewers today, aren't there?"

[You show that in the thumbnail and then ask why there are many]
[For real, just film noona a bit]
[You bastard, where did the noona from the thumbnail go—]
[Gwangsu, remove your face, damn it]
[Wow; your face looks brutal]

"Oh, guys. I want to film her too, but if I film that person, my channel might be gone, you know?"

[? Is it that serious?]
[Jinwoon couldn't enter gates for a while recently, right?]
[Ah, that Miss Seol-ah?]
[She was good too]
[Hehehe]
[Uhehe]
[Lololololol]

Was it Seol-ah? To be honest, he could understand why Jinwoon did what he did that day. It was because she was a woman with a different kind of beauty from Seohyun in front of him. If Seohyun was a beauty that made you speechless at first sight, Seol-ah was a beauty that made your jaw drop at first sight.

To the extent that you'd think, "Is this kind of physique possible in Korea?" As proof, Jinwoon's channel had grown nearly 1.5 times after that incident. Of course, it all went to waste due to the punishment of not being able to enter gates afterward.

But thinking about it that way, it seemed like it might be worth doing just once.

In fact, while he returned to live broadcasting and his original scale, the channel subscribers were still growing at the rate they had increased then. Moreover, that video featuring Seol-ah was the most-viewed video on Jinwoon's channel.

When weighing the pros and cons, it meant that there might be more benefits than losses.

Of course, unlike Seol-ah, he had to be careful about Seohyun's horns, but that could be handled with editing, right? As Gwangsu was deep in thought, Seohyun's irritated voice was heard in front of him.

"Hey, aren't we going?"

"Ah, just a moment."

[Dude, why are you so quiet]
[Gwangsu, snap out of it]
[Has Gwangsu lost his mind?]
[Gwangsu is dead, everyone leave]
[Lololol]
[Gwangsu, what are you doing]

Gwangsu, who had started walking, began to ponder continuously, putting aside even the communication with the viewers he liked so much.

Suddenly, Gwangsu subtly turned his head and faced Seohyun.

"What is it?"

"Is it okay if I film you?"

"...What?"

Seohyun looked at him as if dumbfounded by his sudden question. However, despite such a gaze, Gwangsu started to recite what he had thought.

"I know there's that 5-minute restriction, but honestly, you're so excellent as broadcast material that I want to film you even if I get penalized."

"...Do people usually say that so honestly?"

"It's better than lying unnecessarily, isn't it?"

After pondering for a moment at Gwangsu's answer, Seohyun grinned and nodded.

"Hmm, well. Okay. Since you asked honestly. Besides, whether I appear for 5 minutes, 1 minute, or 30 minutes, what difference does it make? Do as you like."

"Oh, are you allowing it?"

After finishing this conversation, Gwangsu glanced at the chat window. As expected, the chat was in chaos.

[Woooooooooow]
[Great Noona]
[As refreshing as her exposed chest]
[Crazy bastard lolololol]
[Oh...]
[Uhehe]

"Well, everyone. I got permission to film, but I'll ban all chats related to sexual harassment or anything like that. Even though I got permission, she's still a civilian."

[OK]
[Got it]
[Alright]
[Yeah]
[That's right]
[Damn, how can we hold back seeing those tits]

"Manager."

As he made a gesture of slicing his neck with the side of his hand, the overstepping chat messages disappeared.

To be honest, this was an unusual decision for Gwangsu. Both deciding to film Seohyun and setting such strict ban rules.

Originally, Gwangsu's broadcasts rarely banned anyone.

That was partly due to Gwangsu's unusually strong mentality, but also because he aimed for a broadcast that was almost like a deserted island.

However, today there was a special guest who would enhance his broadcast, so he had no choice but to set strict restrictions.

"So, what are you planning to do! To be honest, I originally had a different content planned for today, but since we have a guest like this, I'm thinking of doing different content!"

Gwangsu, who had been broadcasting for a while, kept glancing at Seohyun, who would be the center of today's content. Seohyun was looking at the broadcasting Gwangsu with slightly shining eyes, as if curious.

Gwangsu, who didn't expect her to make such an expression since she had been looking at him with a blank face from the beginning, cleared his throat softly.

"Um, teacher?"

"Yes?"

"Could you come over here? I think I should talk with you standing here. Ah, and what should I call you?"

"Just call me by my name."

"Then, Miss Seohyun?"

Seohyun nodded and stood next to Gwangsu.

Standing next to her like this, he felt like there was a nice fragrance. It wasn't perfume, but closer to a floral scent.

"A-ahem. Then today's content is-"

[Here it comes]
[Something big is coming]
[Noona is really pretty]
[Gwangsu, you're in for it today]

Gwangsu slightly prolonged his words while looking at the chat window, then continued.
