I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild chapter 10

10 – Sign a contract with me and become my lieutenant

When I hurriedly cleaned up and came down to the cafe again, Suyeong-nuna had already come down and was talking to Are.

‘I thought he must have been sleeping… but he must have woken up a long time ago and was preparing inside the cafe.’

Recognizing that fact belatedly, I once again confirmed that this sister’s alcohol consumption was greater than I thought.

‘Right now, just yesterday, he drank more than I did and looks extremely energetic..’

With that thought in mind, I cautiously approached the two.

In response, they looked at me at the same time, as if they were facing a mirror.

“did you sleep well? Wasn’t the bed uncomfortable?”

“Uh.. yes.. it was okay.”

An older sister who shows that she is Sooyoung by smiling softly while looking at me.

So I sat down, feeling a bit embarrassed, and right after that, my sister introduced me to Are in front of me.

“Looks like we’ve already said goodbye. Let me introduce you again. This is Iare. This is my brother I was talking about yesterday. And Areya, this is Lee Jin-hyun, whom I have been talking about all along. I was an adjutant of the 28th Hunter Guild and was discharged a few days ago.”

Being formally introduced through my sister, the two of us gave each other a light bow.

“By the way, I met Are about two years ago. By chance, a person who looked just like me came to our store and checked on this and that, and it turned out that it was my younger brother whom I had broken up with when I was young. I’ve always wanted to introduce myself to you, but I haven’t been able to get the chance.”

“I see.. indeed. From what I can see, the two of them look exactly alike.”

I slowly nodded my head at my sister’s explanation, which roughly matched my expectations.

Next, my sister said to me with a somewhat happy expression.

“Anyway, since Are said that what he’s doing these days has to do with Hunter, talk to him carefully. Both at work and outside of it.”

“The external part..? what is that…”

“hehehe…well, you’ll find out soon.”

After that, the older sister, who had finished her role as the so-called relayer, stood up from her seat and spoke to us in a comfortable voice.

“Well, since I have to go to the opening preparations and breakfast, my role ends here. Good luck with your interview.”

“okay. Thanks sister.”

“Yes, thank you sister.”

Aree expresses her gratitude to Sooyoung by using respectful words.

Although I felt a little awkward about this,

Since it was between sisters who were separated for over 20 years, I decided not to think too deeply about that part.

After Soo-young noona disappeared inside the cafe, we were left alone.

After that, Are looked at me and started the interview with an expressionless face.

“Then, I’d like to talk about work right away, is that okay?”

“Ah yes. it’s okay.”

At the word work, I began to feel that the slightly excited feelings I had just a moment ago had subsided a little.

As my sister said, when it comes to Hunter-related work, I certainly had some confidence.

Of course, it was impossible for me, a man, to become a hunter and fight, but as an adjutant, I have been in charge of the operation of the hunter guild for 4 years, so there is nothing lacking in support and other parts. A body that I am proud of.

However, apart from the part about my own skills like this

Personally, because I suffered so much for 4 years, it was inevitable that I would instinctively feel a little reluctance once I became a hunter.

‘Well, it’s highly likely that it’s a military-related subcontractor, but… I guess it can’t be helped that I instinctively feel uncomfortable.’

Looking at me with such an attitude of half anticipation and half worry, Are started talking in a calm voice.

“First, let me tell you what I do. Currently, my colleagues and I are working for the Black Hunter Company.”

“Black Hunter..?”

Frankly, unlike what I thought there would be stories about subcontractors related to Hunter, I looked surprised as a little unexpected story came out,

Looking at me like that, Are asked in a quiet voice.

“Do you know anything?”

“Yes.. a little bit.”

“Okay, then, can you tell us what you know about us first? Before explaining the specifics, I think it would be good to check Mr. Jinhyeon’s gaze first.”

“All right. then..”

At Are’s request,

When I was in the guild, I started talking carefully about the black hunters I learned on the job.

Black Hunter.

In general, most of the hunters were active with the status of a soldier as a force belonging to a country.

Considering the enormous cost of hunter treatment and training, and the danger of hunters with superhuman strength that surpasses humans, it is perhaps natural.

However, even after undergoing surgery and becoming a hunter, those who could not adapt to military life and were discharged from the military or suffered a major accident and could no longer remain as soldiers had no choice but to return to civilian life with the body of a hunter. do.

And many of them use their superhuman physical abilities to receive a certain amount of money as an individual and solve various problems in human society.

‘In other words. If ordinary hunters are soldiers, black hunters can be said to be a kind of mercenary.. like a private company that works for money. But… I can’t see it that simply.’

What the Black Hunters do is basically fighting the Abyss, which is the hunter’s duty.

It was quite diverse compared to general hunters, such as someone’s bodyguard or security, and even participating in wars between countries, which is not common.

In the process, conflicts between the same Black Hunters may occur,

In addition, depending on their personality, there are cases where they even take on dirty work related to crime, such as assassination, so the pay may be good, but if you approach it prematurely, you may be in trouble.

On that point I ended what I knew, showing a sign of concern.

Looking at me like that, Are said while still maintaining his composure.

“Okay. As you said, there are quite a few black hunters involved in crime or doing illegal things. For that reason, it is also true that the government puts a lot of restrictions on the profession of Black Hunter.”

“Yes, I know that too. In addition… I’m saying this because I’ve already talked about it, but I also want to say that if Mr. Iare’s work is related to crime, I have no intention of participating in it.”

No matter how much I paid, I had no desire to do that kind of work.

There was no such thing as an urgent need for money.

Above all, although he was discharged, he was a body with personal convictions as a soldier with a sense of duty to protect the country.

And while listening to my declaration like that.

For the first time, Iare said with a quiet smile on her lips.

Such a beautiful smile that shakes my emotions for a moment.

“I want to tell you first that you don’t have to worry about that part.”

“That… is that so?”

While slightly blushing, I asked back to confirm.

To this, Areu nodded and answered in a clear voice.

“Of course, there are those who commit illegal things among Black Hunters. However, what we do in our company is limited to legal work. In addition, you can trust it as long as it is a company that has been legally certified in this regard.”

“Then, I’m glad for now.”

Of course, I will need to find out more details later, but I decided to believe her words for now and moved on to the next topic.

“Then, can you be more specific… tell me what kind of work you would like me to do after entering Aressi’s company?”

“All right. I will.”

With those words, Aare took another sip of water as if he was slightly thirsty, and spoke to me in a slightly tense voice.

“Jinhyun. I’d like to make you… my lieutenant in charge of me and my comrades. ”

“Ummm..”

I had been expecting it to some extent since I heard the story of the Black Hunter… but, nevertheless, it sounds instinctively unpleasant.

As much as I’ve been through so many things related to the deputy’s work, I reacted with a slight flinch.
