119 – [2] This is my first time
#119
* * *
Anyway, the job is done.
The road that had been blocked by the monstrous Ogres was open.
And this time, on the contrary, the hunters who were almost killed by the ogres blocked the road.
Fortunately, it wasn’t just hostile.
“Thank you very much!”
“I almost died…… ! You three are our benefactors!”
“How much time did these guys take up…….”
“Especially if it weren’t for the male elf, it would have been a real disaster!”
“I will never forget this grace!”
A real handshake.
Those who had been in the care of Human-Patta and Human-Ball until recently had their eyes shining brightly.
The reactions of meeting Charon, the boatman of Acheron, and receiving her return seemed desperate in many ways.
It seemed like they were just grateful, but on the other hand, it seemed mixed with the fear of having to repay something to their benefactor.
“Do you need an ogre corpse here? I’ll give it to you if you need it!”
“Or do you need a magic stone?”
“Sorry for bothering you with your request… ….”
I wondered why they had such a reaction, but when I thought about it, they were Americans.
Unlike other countries where the government oppresses hunters, the logic of power is often applied between hunters in the United States.
As long as you don’t defy the government, commit a crime, or cause a nuisance to the civilian population, the default policy is to stand by.
No matter what the hunters did, freedom was guaranteed.
To put it nicely, it’s a hierarchy.
To put it badly, it’s a world of the weak.
Actually, both sound bad, but the American Hunter world was originally such a neighborhood.
It is only natural that the strong rule over the weak…… More than that, it’s just a world where the weak can’t even shout at the strong.
It was a town that taught us what aristocracy and unlimited competition were.
Of course, Palaistra Academy was also affected by this to some extent.
Still, the gap between cadets is ambiguous, and they are still green sprouts, so they are less corrupt, and there are far more non-Americans, and the academy suppresses it in its own way, so it wasn’t to the extent of the law of the jungle.
Definitely, no matter how strong he was, if the written test was considered a mess, it was just a muscle brain with low grades.
Practical villains may not be useful in the short term, but in the long term they are useless to the guild.
This was a true fact that the main character of the game also certified.
“Hey, maybe…… That…… Are you in a bad mood…… ?”
Anyway, the appearance of fighting the ogre earlier.
It was just a dog-like fight.
From that point of view, the possibility of their high Hunter rating should be equal to the Eagles’ chance of winning.
If you match them, the most threatening club in KBO history, this low attitude could be fully explained.
It’s a place where the logic of power is greatly applied, but you were rescued from Chareltea?
Is that also for the people who just caught the whining ogre?
It was natural for him to be low-key, as he could lose his life if he went out of sight.
Of course, among the actions we’ve taken, we wonder if there are any actions that could endanger our lives, but–
“Hey, are you okay? If you feel okay, stand up from your seat.”
“Huhhhhh… ….”
I don’t know if it’s life, but there was someone who made me feel like I was losing something important.
And a certain hunter who was beaten by her lay face down and stared at her blue bottom as if she had lost her country.
I had a protective shield so my pride was not broken.
However, the experience of bursting pride gave him a deep setback.
A man driven to the edge of hell.
But a true man has to rise above setbacks.
Even if it is painful enough to die.
Instantly, I squeezed out all the strength I had been suckling on and stood on the bluish ground.
“Whoa, whoa…” … !”
“Hmm, looks fine.”
Indeed, the desire to rise up and die rather than live down was the spirit of a true hunter.
Chunmari changed his expression as if he was raising his evaluation.
Looking at this, I shook my head.
Then I looked back at the hunters gathered in front of me.
I expressed my gratitude while bending my pride.
In that short period of time, it was an action that I don’t know how many times it was repeated.
Suddenly, his eyes would go to Shannon and Chunmari, but…….
Shannon was afraid of the mask, and the thousand were afraid of private sanctions, so he kept looking at this side.
This feeling is both good and creepy.
So I waved my hand as if to stop, and then repeated the same words as before, but with different words like a parrot.
As if you are paying attention.
“Really, really thank you—”
“I’d like to thank you later, but my phone number is—”
“You are truly amazing. What do I have to do to get a sword like that—”
“You look like a freshman, but how do you fight so well—”
“What we received this time is over with that auger. If I can help you with anything-“
Oh my gosh.

In the end, after talking about this and that, we made a decision.
That is, since we helped by saving the other side, the other side was also helping us.
I wonder where the time for that would be for hunters who are office workers.
According to the hunters’ claim, the last task for today was to deal with the ogre.
In addition, it was even a situation where hunters estimated to be between F and E could help.
As cadets, our goal is always to fulfill commissions, not to hunt.
In addition, the request I received now was quite non-violent.
No, it wasn’t even a big deal, there was nothing to fight about.
“Ah…… So to sum it up…….”
“You just need to go to the place I mentioned and find a notebook-sized paper with a blue cover.”
A specific place, someone’s house.
Things to find, papers.
The shape of the object, the size of a regular notebook, and a blue cover.
I didn’t know what it was for, but I didn’t feel like I couldn’t find it.
As the size is large and the appearance is clear, the possibility of finding it was sufficient.
Of course, there was room for the hunters to steal it, but there was no reason to do so in the first place, and it could easily lead to death.
By the way, if I could die here, it means that the woman next to me will kill me, not me.
“Hmm… ….”
Thousands continue to look suspiciously at you.
What in the world happened to keep this kind of attention until the end?
First of all, I felt like I should ask when I get home later.
Right now, where the parties are, don’t hesitate to ask—
“Hmm?”
Wait, did they have an interpreter buzz right now?
I immediately slowed down and checked their ears from behind.
Not a single person was wearing anything.
Also, there were only 1,000 Asians with me.
I could have asked enough.
All it took was a mainstream language in the US, such as English or Spanish.
I approached a thousand horses.
Then he gently borrowed his ear.
– “Hey, a thousand.”
However, it was not Korean used in the Korean Peninsula.
As it is a global era, there might be people who understand even a little bit, so I didn’t intend to use it.
The language I will use instead is the language of the elves in the Far North, which I learned from the elven family and learned about the racial equality policy at school.
It was the ‘Far North Korean’ that ran at the end of the minor.
As soon as the thousand horses heard me, he turned his head.
After a while, I cleared my throat at the stare that gave me notice.
– “Why is the Far North language all of a sudden?”
– “I have a question.”
– “Any questions? Like what?”
I pointed out the hunters with a glance.
Chunmari opened his mouth as if he knew what he was trying to say.
– “Are these the guys who harmed you in the previous episode?”
– “It’s not the previous episode, but I’ve been hurt. Of course, not them, but their superiors.”
– “What harm?”
– “It’s just that, the guys upstairs did some fraud against me. The guy I met during the placement test last time also cheated on me.”
– “Against a thousand horses in the world? That’s great.”
The people below don’t matter.
But it has to do with the superiors.
The problem was that a thousand horses had no reason to tell them apart.
This must have been one of the reasons for overreacting earlier.
– “I mean. I never imagined that I would lose hundreds of billions of dollars with it.”
– “That’s right.”
– “Not once or twice, but five times.”
– “You’ve been robbed.”
If you are deceived once, the deceived person is a bad person.
If you are fooled twice, the fool is a fool.
If you are tricked three times, then you are an accomplice.
But what does it mean to be deceived five times?
At that level, wouldn’t he be an accomplice rather than a worse person?
– “That’s why every time I return, I thoroughly step on where they belong.”
– “Every time?”
– “Without missing a beat. Of course, I intend to do the same this time.”
Are you the worse person?
No, more than that, how did you commit fraud?
How can you change your teeth to such an extent if you cheated hundreds of billions of won?
“Umm…… How?”
“…… Word.”
I was so surprised that instead of Far North, Korean came out.
As if hurriedly catching up, I resumed speaking in the Far North.
– “What exactly are you going to do?”
– “Last time I used the bribed state troopers. This time it’s too early, so I wonder if I’ll use an armed gang.”
That’s a huge scale.
I expressed my uncomfortable feelings.
– “Is this a method you have tried many times?”
– “No, this is the first time.”
In many ways, these words are full of trust.
She decided to stop her immediately.
– “Don’t.”
– “Huh?”
– “Don’t do it. If you’d rather, wait a few more years and use the safe old method.”
Speaks firmly.
Because he talked coldly with his expression hardened, the people around him also glanced at him.
I couldn’t understand the language, so there were questions about what you were talking about.
I blew away the answer as if avoiding it, saying it was a private story.
– “You, just know that. I will never accept that plan.”
– “But-“
– “There was no verification at all. Besides, even if you ruin the plan, you can kill yourself, but I’m not like you.”
“… ….”
“Please choose the safe way. Don’t risk it.”
He put his hand on her shoulder with her Korean.
Her
Her Just as she was She pulled her in and then stared at her.
It was a blazing red eye, but it softened somewhat as I got closer.
Chunmari bit her red lips as if in conflict.
“This is a request as a housemate.”
It was actually a command tone, but it was a request anyway.
Chunmari clenched her fists and glanced back at the Hunters around her.
I heard over and over again that something terrible was about to happen. Her
Tried to block her teeth and hugged her tightly.
A composition where you can feel the softness of her chest.
At this, his eyes turned to me.
“Damn… ….”
A bitterly spoken word.
She finally nodded.
“…… Okay. I will do as you say.”
Right away, she gave up on the plan she was thinking of.
It was an expression full of regret, but it was a relief nonetheless.
It was only then that her stiff expression relaxed slightly.
She slowly let go of what she had embraced, of course.
A situation that took a breather.
I thought I would just have to head to my destination in silence.
But the thousand horses stared at me.
She looked at me like she didn’t know exactly what to do.
“Umm, Xian…… ?”
A different title than usual.
It was a word that oozes caution.
However, why are you so cautious?
Why are you doing that?
It was the moment when the question came to mind.
She let out a subtly trembling voice.
“Because of me…… Are you mad?”
“No.”
“Really…… Aren’t you mad?”
“It didn’t happen.”
“Really? Really…… ?”
“Yes.”
Sadly, with those words, I was not convinced.
The embarrassing reality only continued.
In the end, her uneasiness and naughty words continued until she arrived at her destination.
