61 – My sister’s disappearance [ EPISODE – 4 ]
On the second floor of the school, across the 1st grade classroom, there was a teacher’s office in the center.
And after waiting for a few minutes in the office, a person who seemed to be a parent came out and greeted me.
I greeted him accordingly and went into the classroom, and after being guided by a teacher, I was able to face the homeroom teacher waiting in the counseling room.
“Hello. Are you the homeroom teacher?”
“Hello. Are you the guardian of Sieun Lee?”
“Yes. That’s right. My name is Si-woo Lee, Si-eun’s older brother.”
“My name is Lee Eun-hee, who is in charge of Si-eun Lee’s homeroom teacher.”
Pretty pretty young female teacher with black bobbed hair and office wear.
This is Lee Si-eun’s homeroom teacher, whom I will consult with from now on.
“I didn’t know Si-eun had such a wonderful older brother.”
“Ahaha. I didn’t know that Sieun had such a pretty teacher.”
I sat down on the sofa.
And for a while, we chatted with each other.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere became very friendly.
However.
Unfortunately, I’m trying to be a little serious.
“I. I have something to ask you about Shi-eun, sir.”
“Yes? Which one?”
“Have you… been bullied or something?”
“Why do you think so?”
“Yeah… I don’t have parents.”
Lee Si-eun always showed me a bright side.
He always treated me well with such an expression as if he had no worries.
Thanks to that, I was able to work without worrying about Lee Si-eun.
On the one hand, I feel that way.
In fact, isn’t everything that Lee Si-eun shows me actually acting?
Maybe you’re holding on even though it’s really hard? That kind of thinking.
So today, I would like to take this opportunity to ask.
As for whether there is even a slight hint of it.
“You don’t have to worry. Sieun is really popular. You don’t have to worry about that at all.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I’ll guarantee it.”
“That’s fortunate…”
In response to my serious question, the homeroom teacher listened earnestly for a while and
He smiled as if it was nothing.
As if relieved by that smile, I relaxed.
“Whoop…”
“What do you enjoy so much?”
“No. I think everything Shi-eun is saying about her brother is true.”
“Is Shi-eun talking about me?”
“Yes. I do a lot.”
And I heard a rather unexpected story that made me feel better.
Shi-eun thinks of me that way…
As an older brother, you may have been slightly moved…
After a brief wave of emotion has passed.
The consultation lasted about 10 minutes.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
“I’ll go. Take care of Si-eun, sir.”
“Goodbye.”
Consultation is over.
I said hello to the teacher.
I left the classroom like that.
‘As expected, nothing special…’
To be honest, I used a grandiose word, counseling, but it is not particularly important.

Just how good you are at talking to Shi-Eun, and what you think of Si-Eun Lee.
I only asked such obvious and light questions.
‘Because he’s a good guy.. what.’
Also, Lee Si-eun is an honor student.
I also knew that Lee Si-eun was an honor student, seeing that she always ranked 30th in the school report she always brought.
Even so, it seemed that he was living his school life much more diligently than I thought.
And, of course, since he was such an honor student, there was no need to consult or do anything.
It is fundamentally different from problem children who have a lot to talk about.
Lee Si-eun is the kind of child who takes care of herself even if left alone from the beginning.
It’s been a long time since Si-eun consulted with me about which university and which department she wanted.
Other than that, he always talked to me about school life, so there was nothing I didn’t know about.
And I also tend to trust Lee Si-eun.
I know you will do well.
Therefore, the consultation with the homeroom teacher ended relatively quickly.
No worries.
However.
“If you aspire to be a Hunter…”
Actually, I do have one concern.
The last thing Sieun’s homeroom teacher said to me.
Those words could never be taken lightly.
‘If Lee Si-eun said that she would become a hunter, what would your brother do?’
For me, who was smiling and answering the answers I had prepared in advance, a question came to me that left me speechless at the moment.
It was a family affair that I hadn’t thought about at all, ‘if I became a hunter…’.
Those were words that I, who had been in the hunter industry for a long time, could never let go of.
When I imagined that Lee Si-eun was a hunter, such a situation had arrived.
What am I really going to say?
‘Well… I’ll leave it to Shi-eun’s judgment.’
The answer to the question was given by the teacher as follows.
I respect Shi-eun’s judgment, and that Lee Si-eun will do well…
However, even though I said that, my heart was completely different.
‘Even if I die, the Hunter won’t let me.’
I have no intention of making Lee Si-eun a hunter.
There are absolutely no exceptions to this.
Even if I take any responsibility for my choices, even if I am hated by Lee Si-eun, I will definitely be ripped off.
Being a hunter is a job where you have to risk your life after all.
Right now, I’ve almost lost my life several times recently.
The hunter industry is a slaughterhouse full of betrayal and conspiracies.
It is never a place full of dreams and hopes.
I have no intention of making Lee Si-eun come to a place like this.
It’s enough for me.
‘Ehh… it’s done. What do you think?’
I think I had strange thoughts for no reason because I was worried about becoming a hunter.
To be honest, I don’t mind worrying about this at all.
In the first place, not everyone awakens to the hunter ability, and even if awakened, if the ability does not exceed a certain level, it is far worse than attending a decent university.
In that situation, at least Lee Si-eun wouldn’t have to worry about her job as a hunter.
I guess I was just worried.
‘Let’s go find Si-eun and have a meal.’
Anyway, the consultation was over.
Since it’s after school soon, I’m thinking of taking Si-eun to a delicious restaurant.
And I’m thinking of buying a bunch of clothes or something like that.
I plan to enjoy shopping with my sister after a long time.
So I went to find Lee Si-eun to go shopping together…
‘yes…? Why is there no Sieun? He doesn’t even answer the phone.’
Strangely, no matter how much I looked for Lee Si-eun, I couldn’t find her at school.
And that wasn’t all.
Turr.
“The customer is not answering the phone right now…”
My sister, who normally answers my calls tock tock, doesn’t answer the phone for some reason.
An ominous feeling passes by.
It seemed that things were going strangely.
“Hey. Can I ask you something?”
“Oh…! Yes. Ask anything.”
“Have you not seen Lee Si-eun?”
“Um… I didn’t see it.”
I asked a female student I saw in Lee Si-eun’s classroom.
with a slightly anxious look.
But, unfortunately, this girl didn’t seem to see it.
“Hey, have you not seen Lee Si-eun?”
“I didn’t see it.”
Still, in order to find as many clues as possible, I went around asking questions to every student I met.
“Hey, have you not seen Lee Si-eun?”
“I didn’t see it.”
Most people didn’t even see it.
“Ah…! I saw it.”
“Really? Did you really see Si-eun?”
“yes…!”
Still, I was able to find one female student who said she had seen Si-eun Lee.
“Do you know where Si-eun went?”
“I… I was watching from afar, so I couldn’t see the details, but he was going somewhere with a blonde woman?”
“Umm… Can you tell me what the blond woman looked like?”
“She was a woman dressed in silk and with a sword at her waist.”
“okay, thanks.”
“no.”
I thanked the girl and left the school.
What the girl said was a very good clue for me.
Hearing the clues of a blonde woman wearing silk and a sword at her waist, I was able to roughly guess who had taken Lee Si-eun.
‘Is it the Swordsman’s Association…?’
Perhaps it was the Sword Saints’ meeting.
Wearing clothes like that and wearing a sword around the waist, that is not the case except for the Swordsmen’s Association.
In today’s modern society, they are probably the only people who wear clothes that are full of personality.
‘But… why on earth are those people?’
But when I was certain that it was the Swordsman’s Association, I had a slight doubt.
It was because no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a reason why the Swordsman would kidnap Lee Si-eun.
‘Why on earth…?’
In an instant, several thoughts passed through my mind.

Just in case, it wasn’t the Sword Saints’ Association, but someone disguised as the Swordsmen’s Association, like what the Church did last time, kidnapped them, etc.
That thought passed through me.
The Church would never have done such a thing.
There would be no reason for Reitana to do such a thing.
Also, the Witch’s Temptation Guild wouldn’t have done that.
Min Seo-jin is not that kind of person.
If it wasn’t a large guild, I thought for a moment that it was a small or medium guild, but there was absolutely no possibility.
Small and medium guilds pretending to be large guilds, even if they went crazy, it was impossible unless they went mad.
Then there is only one answer.
This is really what the Sword Saints did.
No matter how much I think about why the Geomseonghoe kidnapped Lee Si-eun, I can’t come to mind.
‘Hmm…’
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t come to mind.
But, but, in fact, it didn’t matter what the reason was.
“No matter how you think about it, the real liver came out of the boat.”
That he kidnapped Lee Si-eun.
And that I am very angry.
There were only two things that mattered.
And this was something that could never be overlooked.
I headed straight for the Swordsman’s Headquarters.
