33 – Would you like to go out with me now?
Countless Abyss running through the forest.
Enveloped in madness, they were advancing forward without hesitation, breaking through the thicket.
With a force that seems to destroy whatever stands in their way…
From the sky, it looks like black waves are pouring through the trees, and the hideous monsters are stimulating their instincts.
I was running with all my might to a place where the smell of blood and corpses of my own people wafted from somewhere.
where they arrived
It was the entrance to a cave with an open black mouth.
The smell of the blood of his own people wafts from inside.
The Abyss, who were drawn to it, began pouring into it without hesitation, following their instincts.
It didn’t matter to them what was inside, what awaited them.
The only thing that matters is the order imprinted in their instincts.
Leaving their bodies entrusted to it, the Abyss listened deeper and deeper, following the smell of the blood of their fellow tribesmen in a cave where not a single ray of light came in.
And after a while…
In their vision, which can see through the darkness, they began to see the figures of their own people who had led them to this point.
A fellow countryman lying on the floor, bleeding to death.
There were already dead corpses of their kind around it, so the Abyss scattered into the cave in search of their targets who did this.
at that time..
-Beep… beep… beep… beep…
A strange sound that stimulates the hearing of the Abyss.
The sound began to be heard from all over the cave, and at the same time, red lights began to shine in the dark in the sight of the Abyss.
-Beep… beep… beep beep beep beep… ..
and..
-Kwagwagwagwang!!!!!
next moment,
Bombs starting to detonate all at once with a tremendous roar.
At the same time, the entire cave where the Abyss were located began to collapse.
Dozens of Abyss who entered it were all annihilated in an instant.
and,
Are, who was watching the scene from the airship, reported the progress in a calm voice.
“Article 1 Status Report. The cave has completely collapsed, and there is nothing protruding from inside. enemy silence. Request complete.”
-“thank you for your effort. Please return to headquarters.”-
“All right. Adjutant.”
Areh ends the communication with those words.
In her eyes looking down while on board the airship, even at this moment, the appearance of the cave where dust was rising was clearly visible.
That number is 6 in total.
Compared to the previous battles, it took a little longer to prepare, and although there were some risky parts. Nevertheless, this quest also ended neatly with no damage to allies.
*
“thank you for your effort. This is a perfect landslide victory.”
“Because it’s amazing! If you only fight, it’s really 100 wins out of 100! Even during the operation, there was almost no damage to allies.”
“oh oh j’ai cru !
As usual, the hunters generously showered me with praise.
Now it’s time to get used to it, but nevertheless, it’s still a little awkward and burdensome, but I feel quite good while listening to their stories, I said with a slight blush.
“hahahaha. You are exaggerating. Rather, I am grateful to all of you who believe in me and move me every time. If you hadn’t followed my instructions perfectly, no matter how good the strategy was, it would have been of no use.”
After the time of praising each other for their hard work has passed,
Kwon Soon and Glass immediately got up from their seats and spoke to us.
“Then the mission is over. As I said before, we will be out for a while Aide.”
“Ah.. Come to think of it, today was the day the two of you got your weapons checked, right? Be careful.”
“Haa.. Seriously, what else does this take exactly on the end of the quest?”
The weapons used by the hunters were so powerful that ordinary people could not use them, but as such, they had to be checked more carefully on a regular basis.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just as in a typical army, grooming and managing their own weapons, hunters also took care of their weapons after a battle was the basic of the basics.
However, no matter how well they were maintained, the standard of the equipment was basically different from that of rifles, so they were supposed to go to the maintenance shop at least once a month to check the condition of the weapon and have it repaired if necessary.
Coincidentally, today is the day Kwon Soon and Glass need to be checked.
As a result, the two had no choice but to leave for the repair shop without even having a follow-up on the completion of the request.
As the maintenance will take several hours to complete, the day is virtually over.
After the two of them left, I, who was left alone with Are, began to feel a little awkward momentarily.
‘Come to think of it… It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve been together like this.’
In the meantime, Kwon Soon and Glass were almost always by Are’s side. It was almost the first time we had this kind of time, except for the time we rode in the car together when we first came here.
Suddenly, while recognizing that fact, I started to feel a strange tension, and soon I started talking to her in order to get rid of this feeling.
“Come to think of it… it’s already been about four months since I came here.”
“Yes, that’s right. Looking at it that way, time seems to go by really fast. It really felt like four months had gone by so quickly.”
“Really so. It’s been 4 months.. Time has already passed like that.”
In the words of Are.
Suddenly, the battle against the Abyss, which I had been working on for the past four months, began to flash through my mind.
Although it was much smaller in scale compared to when I was in the Hunter Guild before, commanding the Hunters of Dreamers here gave me a deep sense of satisfaction and achievement that was incomparable to before.
‘At that time. To be honest, I was close to doing it out of a pure sense of duty, but now it’s not just that. Seriously… I feel like I’m working for people I like.’
While thinking about that, I glanced at Are’s face next to me.
It’s never too beautiful to look at..
She has a face that resembles her sister’s.
Recognizing that I was alone with such a person, I began to feel a slight pounding in my heart without even realizing it.
At that time, Aare spoke to me as if he had suddenly thought of something.
“Come to think of it, summer is almost over. As it is almost fall, I think I should go buy some clothes.”
“Surely so, now that the days are chilly, and the nights are hardly hot.”
Come to think of it, I could see several times that the lush trees withered little by little while I was doing this quest.
It definitely means fall is coming.
It was at that time that I was aware of that fact and thought that future plans should be designed with that in mind.
“Hey.. that’s why… Mr. Jinhyeon.”
“yes?”
Are speaks in a somewhat tense voice.
In response, I looked at her with a slight doubt, and Are continued to speak cautiously about this.
“Um… if you don’t mind, would you like to go out with me now? Like I said, I bought new clothes… and had a meal together as an after party.”
“Um… ”
At her words, I automatically started to feel a little nervous.
It could be said that it was a story about going shopping together in a normal way, but… No matter how insensitive I am to this kind of thing, it was a bit unreasonable to interpret the current situation so simply.
‘Could it be this… is that it? Some kind of date request.. something like that..’
Even when I was in the Hunter Guild before, I had gone shopping with S-class hunters.
But that’s just a simple and obvious porter job, billions of light years away from things like dating.
The situation now was different from that time in that the target of the invitation was not those bitches, but Are, who was no different from the savior of my life.
That’s how, at that time when I was feeling a strange thrill at Are’s invitation.
Are asked me in a slightly nervous voice.
“I… can’t… can I?”
“Ah… no. I like it too. Then let’s leave right now.”
I answered in a tense voice,
At my words, Are’s face instantly began to show a calm smile.
