I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild chapter 34

34 – her rough, warm hands

A busy city.

Arriving there, I got off at Lomborgini Veneno, which always draws attention, and looked at Are standing next to me.

Her appearance, dressed in a more colorful outfit than usual, was so beautiful that it automatically caught the attention of others as well as mine.

On top of a white dress that clearly shows off her body. She is wearing a matching brown cardigan.

Just like Sooyoung noona, her breasts are not lacking in catching the eyes of men.

A waist with no flab trained as a hunter

And, to the solid pelvic line supporting it.

Literally, seeing her showing off her graceful and beautiful figure to the point where I felt embarrassed while walking next to her, somehow I automatically felt slightly intimidated.

Unlike Are, who can be judged to be a beauty just by looking at it, honestly, my face was mediocre, even if given good reviews.

Still, as a former soldier, I thought my body was not bad to some extent, but I had never heard of a good-looking face in my life.

In addition, his style was not very good, so he was never popular with women.

Now that I’m walking with Are, I feel like I’ve become the beast from Beauty and the Beast.

‘As expected, I don’t think it’s a very suitable feeling.’

While I was feeling a bit bitter because of a problem that could be trivial if I was trivial,

Suddenly, looking at Are’s face, I automatically started to think of one thing.

‘Looking at it like this, I have the same face as Sooyoung noona, but… the basic feeling is really different. Do you think that Mr. Are can feel the splendor and elegance that noona doesn’t have?”

Although I felt a little sorry for it because it seemed like I was constantly comparing Sooyoung-noona and Aree unwillingly. Since the two looked so identical, it seemed inevitable that they would automatically compare each other.

However, even so, the feeling I had for Are at this moment wasn’t just because she resembled my older sister.

‘Regardless of her sister, Are-san is a pretty person in her own right.. and has a kind heart.’

A person who presented a milestone in my somewhat bleak life after being discharged, and a person who warmly embraces the trauma I felt while going through guild life.

In that respect, I was feeling a personal liking as well as grateful to her, and I also had the idea of wanting to get a little closer if possible.

Despite feeling a little tired, that’s why I came to this place that is supposed to be similar to a date.

At that time, looking at me thinking that way, Are said cautiously.

“Then let’s go.”

“all right.”

Looking blunt as usual.

However, looking at her like this, I could feel a little bit of anticipation-like emotion underneath.

It seemed that he was trying not to show it as much as possible about her, but it seemed that he was having a hard time hiding his feelings of joy, probably because he had been busy with work and had been out of town for the first time in a while.

Like that, while watching the corner of the mouth go up and down slightly, I spoke first to relax a little.

“You said you were going to the department store first, right?”

“Yes, I looked at some of the fall clothes there and…”

Along with those words, Aree sneakily examines me.

Then, after cutting off for some reason, she turned her head slightly and spoke again.

“Well, let’s go for now. This way.”

“yes.”

I was moving while being guided by Are.

It was a weekday, but probably because of the fine weather, there were quite a lot of people coming and going in the city, and among them, people who seemed to be lovers were often seen.

People holding hands or walking with arms crossed without hesitation even in front of other people.

Because I’ve always been single, I usually feel a bit envious when I see people like that, but at this moment, I began to feel a strange satisfaction in the fact that there was a beautiful woman next to me who could make me not feel that way.

at that time..

“Jinhyun.”

“yes?”

The next moment, she looked at me and held out her hand slightly.

Unlike before, with a slightly expressionless face, she looked at me and said in a slightly stiff voice.

“Anyway, there are too many people, so I think I will fall if I keep going like this. As there is a distance to the department store… can you catch me?”

“Now.. grabbing… your hand… you mean?”

“… .”

She nodded her head slightly without answering my words.

For an instant, I felt as if her face had changed a little. At this moment, the face of the woman in front of me seemed to show the same coldness as when she was in battle.

In other words, is it a feeling that he is trying hard to appeal that he is talking about this in a really serious tone?

I felt strange about this, but I decided to act according to the rhythm as she wanted.

“Um… all right. Certainly, if you miss it in a place like this, it could be a little difficult.”

So, I carefully took Are’s outstretched hand.

Aside from her beautiful face and perfect body, her hands were rougher than expected.

There were calluses everywhere, and the curves were quite severe due to the small scars engraved on them.

However, holding her hand like this, I began to feel regret rather than discomfort.

Even compared to the S-class hunters I know, Are’s hands are rough.

Through this, I was able to recall the fact that in the past she lived a desperate life filled with madness and vengeance while dealing with the Abyss.

her rough hands. It must be like traces of the pain of that time.

‘Certainly… as I said before, you’ve suffered a lot in many ways. It’s unfortunate. How could such a pretty and fine person come?’

Indirectly feeling the pain she must have been through, I unknowingly gave a little strength to hold her hand.

At the same time, I felt it more clearly.. The hard but warm touch of her hand.

While thinking that I want to soothe the pain contained in it even a little,

So I started walking forward through the crowd with Are, who was suddenly moving forward quickly.

Are, who is heading to the department store holding hands with Jinhyun.

But at this moment

To be honest, she had hardly even thought of the department store or the things she would buy there.

‘Jinhyeon-nim… my… my hand… like this…’

I held out my hand while trying hard not to show it as much as possible.

With a desire to walk hand in hand, which is said to be done between lovers, Are recalled the bitter memories he experienced on the battlefield as much as possible and succeeded in recommending it while maintaining a poker face.

As there were many people on the street, it was a suitable situation to use as an excuse.

Are, who somehow succeeded in holding hands, was seized with the ecstasy of flying in the sky for a while.

A deep sense of happiness that comes from the heart.

Even though it is a goal that has been achieved with appropriate excuses.

The fact that this allowed her to get closer to this person made her feel good enough.

But..

this moment right now.

Are really in a state of being fatally hit by Jinhyeon’s unexpected blow.

From a certain moment, Jin-Hyeon suddenly grabs her hand with all his might.

Are, who was barely keeping his cool at the action of not simply holding his hand tightly… feeling some unknown emotion and will, felt as if he was momentarily distraught.

The poker face I had barely made started to crack, and my heart started beating like crazy and setting my face on fire.

However, no matter how much you do, you can’t let Jinhyeon see you like this.

Thinking that if that happened, she would probably die of shame as she was, at this moment Are had no choice but to move toward the department store as hard as she could.
