#134. A child who twisted causality
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nam Tae-hyuk…Harin’s power is Nam Taehyuk…?
He told me that he would send someone he could trust, so I thought he had a place to trust, but I never imagined that he would appear.
“I would like you to inform the contents of the request as soon as possible.”
At that time and still today, he was a man who suited the expression masculine very well.
Dark eyebrows and a slightly untidy beard.
Clearly he was wearing a suit, but his muscles that were about to explode were tightening the buttons as if not to block him.
It was about 10 years ago that I first got to know Nam Tae-hyuk properly.
Until I won the title of the strongest, this guy was like a huge wall I had to overcome.
The actual fighting style of the wall fits perfectly.
His body strengthening ability was far above mine, and he used to smashed monsters’ heads with only two fists without any special weapons.
The vivid images of those scenes made many citizens enthusiastic and became the dream of aspiring hunters.
“…A monster that is so strong that you have never experienced it before is here now. It will appear in Jinhae.”
It was enough for a moment to be surprised.
The most important thing right now is the delivery of information.
Of course, you might think my opinion is absurd, but if Harin asked, he would give me time.
“You said Mr. Inwook.”
“That’s right.”
“Do you think I’ve faced up to a level of level?”
He gave a smirk as if it were a bit funny.
“I know it’s level 5.”
Because that’s the highest level monster that can appear at the moment.
“You know it well. But now, an unprecedentedly strong guy appears. Is that what you want to say?”
Recognizing the arrogance in his eyes, I raised my voice even more and spoke in a warning tone.
“That’s right. That’s why I asked Harin for help.”
I had said it in a way I wanted to be relieved, but when I got a completely different reaction, he stroked his beard, probably embarrassed.
“Hmm… I honestly think the odds of that being true are very slim.”
“It won’t take you long to figure it out yourself. How much time can you give me?”
Even if it was Harin, it would have been difficult to sign a contract to indefinitely pamper him, one of the strongest in the S-class.
“The request from GW is 3 days.”
“Enough.”
If it’s 3 days, time is running out.
For detection, just one day would be enough.
Right above our heads.
Because Diaronia actually existed.
“For now, I would like you to spend some time here with us to prove my words to be true.”
“It is not difficult. Everyone must have been tired of coming all the way here, but it’s just a cup of coffee.”
I smiled awkwardly as I saw him still full of slack on his face.
It was because he knew that it was more meaningful to him to experience it directly than to talk about it for a hundred days.
“Then we wait here and when we get a response, we’ll leave immediately.”
“If Inwook gives you a signal, we do it right away.”
As soon as the task was finished, he moved to a table in the far corner.
Again, Jena and Sihwa, only the three of us at the table, spit out laughter as if the male Sihwa was ridiculous.
“You did a very good job. Ha-rin Yoon.”
“It’s Sihwa. Harin thought of us and sent it to us.”
I didn’t think it was necessary to show a harsh attitude even to the person who helped me.
“Choi Inwook. How much do you think I will have to call to get him here?”
If it was common to receive quests for money up to A-class, it was not possible to move only with money from S-class.
In order to move them, a very limited and precious resource, a reasonable cause and price were needed.
The GW side probably supported more than what I was paid for in my previous life.
“It must be expensive.”
“You know better than me that it’s not just expensive. Really great. Awesome.”
Sihwa slowly applauded and looked around once more.
“So, if we go on like this, do we have a chance?”
Jena, who was quietly listening to us, turned her head toward me, probably wondering about the result.
“What. At least, it was far higher than when the three of us were together.”
One giant named Nam Tae-hyuk.
And the other hunters under his command also didn’t seem to be below B-class.
It feels like a mix of B and A grades.
Even if they were not of great help in battle, they were people who could use them excellently in terms of civilian protection.
“Hayena. You’re a healer, so you won’t be directly involved in the battle, but we’re an S-class party of four.”
The corners of Sihwa’s lips are slightly raised.
The blue eyes showed young confidence.
“You know that this isn’t a combination you can gather that often.”
It was true.
If it’s a normal mission, S-classes are usually between 1 and 2 people.
There were very few gatherings beyond that, unless there was a direct command from the association or a super-high-level monster appeared.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nam Tae-hyeok, Choi In-wook, and Yoo Si-hwa were those who stayed at the top of the S-class.“Don’t worry too much. Yena.”
Yes. A lineup like this would be level 6.
“I think it would be better if only the injured people were well taken care of.”
So we waited for the sun to set.
* *
Five hours have passed since we sat in the same place.
Obviously it seemed to have been observed around 7pm yesterday, but why today?
He was silent, as if he didn’t exist.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nam Tae-hyeok came to our table once an hour and asked what we were going to do, but all he could say was to wait a little longer.“Mr. Inwook.”
“Yes.”
“Is it okay if I send our members to eat?”
Clearly ignored.
Clearly, I asked him to keep his posture so that he could leave at any time, but asking me to send him to eat was like ignoring my words.
“I told you to wait.”
“Five hours have already passed. The personnel also have the right to eat unless they are dispatched to the site.”
From his point of view, he was a well-known hunter in the current industry, and I was just an aspiring hunter who was lucky enough to have a relationship with a GW company lady.
To be honest, it was safe to say that this was enough to be gentle.
“Ha…”
When I was in trouble, Sihwa looked at me like I was pathetic and poured out what he had to say instead.
“Mr. Taehyuk Nam.”
“Yes.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“No. Hey. It’s poetry.”
“It is not what it is.”
Completely ignoring my will to dissuade her, she grabbed her neck and started arguing with Nam Tae-hyeok.
“Do you think it makes sense to say that we are going to eat now?”
“If you are hungry, you can fight properly.”
“You wouldn’t have earned all your food for a year by running this once.”
I don’t need anything like this.
Sihwa cut off his words without mercy.
“I don’t think there’s a single person here who seems to be malnourished to the point of being hungry and unable to fight?”
“Or maybe.”
“Are you doing this because the lady of the GW company isn’t here?”
When Sihwa uttered every word, Nam Tae-hyuk’s eyebrows twitched.
I have to say that it looks like a black caterpillar crawling.
It was clear that he had touched his pride.
“…Mr. Yoo Shihwa.”
He knew her name, even though he didn’t introduce her.
“If you don’t have respect for your seniors, why don’t you use them because you don’t have them?”
Even though she didn’t raise her magic power, the force that would make people black out came out of her body.
But the opponent is Yu Shihwa.
“I will treat you like a senior, so make sure you do your job well. Seniors.”
She wasn’t the one to break her own convictions to this extent.
It was a moment of tension between the two of them.
I’m afraid
The thrill of magical power so powerful that my body trembled.
I wasn’t the only one who felt this, so all the people who were sitting in the cafe got up.
For some reason, this creepy feeling, which should have been felt only for a very short period of time, did not disappear.
“Everyone out!”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nam Tae-hyeok noticed this and followed Nam Tae-hyeok’s instructions, and the hunters ran out all at once.“Choi Inwook!”
I nodded to Sihwa’s head and followed the crowd outside.
And what we came across was…
Purple color resembling lilac.
The dark night sky.
Tentacles resembling the legs of an octopus split the clouds.
And the one-eyed shining in the middle of his body was looking down at me.
Because it was my first time seeing the real thing, I looked at the scene with rapture.
This is the disaster of Jinhae.
Dialonia.
I was about to go into battle with my sword straight.
[…It’s you. A child who twisted causality.]
A creepy voice entered my mind.
