121 – You can get a ‘good boat’ if you do it wrong
The promotion test has officially ended.
As a result, a total of 8 Hunters were raised to Class A.
Four of them were Talos, Iro, Loha, and Haram.
They were all gathering together and sharing the joy of their promotion.
“hehehehe..”
“Look and break through. Are you that good?”
“Of course it’s good. With this, you can finally get out of being a tool in your later years. From now on, this era of Lord Roha begins in earnest!”
Looking at the A-class hunter license in her hand, Roha is showing off a relaxed smile.
Although it was different from the externally accepted A-class hunter license recognized by the military, and the actual effect was only valid for Dreamers and some affiliated companies related to it, such trivial parts were not for Roha. It didn’t matter.
The important thing is that through this, she can be put into the battlefield as the main force, and she has the opportunity to become the so-called ‘protagonist’ as she wants.
Meanwhile, seeing his new friend like this, Talos asked with a gentle smile on his lips.
“Roha, you said that your goal was to play an active role on the battlefield, right? Is there any special reason?”
“Rather than any special reason, it’s just because it’s cool. Being active as the main character and being active as a supporter for the rest of your life is completely different, isn’t it? Right now, I only got a B-class ticket, but one day I’m so strong that I’ll be called by two names! I’m going to give it to you!”
“It’s this name. There are certainly a few people called that way, but…”
As Talos belonged to the military and rose to the brink of S rank, there were also a few hunters with tinnitus among his acquaintances.
Of course, from her point of view, regardless of whether or not there was a tinnitus, it was not a part of much interest in the fact that the hunters died in vain anyway if the decision of the upper echelons was made.
“Wow, work hard anyway. Dreams are always good.”
“yes! One day you will definitely be called a mad dog!”
“..mad..dog?”
In terms of naming sense, Talos looks slightly embarrassed at the fact that he longs for a name that seems like a punishment.
Then, while sneaking a glance at her phone, she looked at her friend’s chat, who by now was in a serious situation unlike herself.
‘Are you doing well? Joggs…’

“… I.. that.. so.. now.. what..”
“I like it. I love Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun a lot.”
“… ”
The roof of the Dreamers building.
There, while being blown by the wind, Kwon Soon proudly brought up a story like a bomb declaration with his usual awkward feeling.
‘No no.. I heard that there was something to say for a while, so I asked for some time.
There is nothing like a romantic sensibility or a calm atmosphere with the night view in the background.
It takes place in broad daylight under the bright sunlight under a deep blue sky.
It’s like boiling a bowl of instant noodles at a convenience store… a very light confession
Receiving this, I remained silent for a moment and began searching for answers in a confused mood.
Aside from this confession that makes me feel like I’ll fly away if I blow this hook, I was the one who whispered love to Aree just last night, and the two of us were already in a real relationship.
In this situation, Kwon Soon’s sudden ‘confession’ is obviously unacceptable to me.
like that
I began to judge that even if the other person was not someone else, but Kwon Soon, whom I had a good crush on from the perspective of a person I had already built a close relationship with and a friend, it would not be okay.
‘No matter how much polygamy is legally allowed, it’s only a theoretical part… Although it’s a little bit difficult that the other person is Joggs, not another person…’
So, remembering the fact that the only person I love as a lover is Are, I carefully tried to apologize and reject her.
By the way..
“Okay then, since we’ve said everything with this, let’s go downstairs.”
“… yes?”
The appearance of Kwon Soon lightly leaving without hearing an answer to me.
I asked her with a sense of embarrassment at her attitude, which still doesn’t feel the slightest bit of sincerity, just like her light confession.
“Hey… wait a minute. What is this… Confession to me just now… Wasn’t that what you did?”
“Yeah right, I like you. Enough to call it love.”
“Um… ”.
“But you’re already dead and can’t live. If I told you this, the answer would of course be a refusal, right?”
“That…that’s…”
Unlike what comes out of his mouth, Kwon Soon speaks in a very light tone.
Her attitude made me speechless for a moment, and then she continued to speak in a weightless voice like a feather, looking at me like that.
“So you don’t have to listen to the answer. What are you waiting for an answer for? I just wanted to convey the feelings I have right now.”
“… .”
“Then, I’ll go downstairs. Oh, and first of all, a confession is a confession. If you have a heart, let me talk anytime. If it’s okay with you, I’m willing to lie next to your bed yesterday.”
“yes? Now..wait a minute..that..”
Kwon Soon disappears without giving me a chance to say something like that, ending the situation with a quick-fire gun.
Seeing her like this, I put on a blank expression for a moment and began to feel deep confusion.
‘What the heck… it doesn’t sound like a joke…’
In terms of the atmosphere, no matter how you look at it, it felt like a gag, but I thought that no matter how much it was, Kwon Soon would not have done this as a simple joke.
Of course, considering Kwon Soon’s personality, which is usually not serious except for Talos’s work, there was a possibility that it was really a joke… but even so, it was clear that this was not a simple joke.
‘It’s a confession… Actually, it’s the first time I’ve been formally confessed…’
Although he has a relationship with Are periodically and even said that they actually love each other, it started with a feeling of being swept away by the atmosphere in the situation of being in a relationship.
This was the first time since I was born that I heard that someone called me out separately and said that they liked me without such a thing.
But, aside from that fact, I’m starting to realize that the situation I’m in has never been easy and can lead to the worst.
‘It’s not good.. No matter how much polygamy is legally allowed, this situation… Obviously, the situation where I have a girlfriend and hear a confession from another woman is really not good.’
It is said that it is legally permitted, but since the news of people who did this without fear (?) and were stabbed to death by their wives getting caught up in a love fight are being published, even if they clumsily tried to form a harem, they could go straight to the goal.
In particular, it is even more dangerous if the opponent is a hunter who can easily kill an ordinary human like me in terms of pure force.
In the worst case, I needed to seriously think about this issue, as I could end up with a ‘good ship’ ending as if I was being cut by the scythe of the angry Areh or the twin swords of the disappointed Kwon Soon.
And, the decision I made in that situation.
It was … that this ember should be resolved as soon as possible in preparation for a situation that might occur in the future.
‘Let’s go for now.. I’d rather go and tell the truth in case there’s a problem later.’
If I tried to hide this fact for no reason, I came to the conclusion that it would be better to go straight to the person concerned, tell the truth, and ask what to do, since later I could really get on the ‘good boat’.
Is that School Days reference? Yep, Nice Boat.
