35 – For Colleagues
“Debt?”
“..Yes.”
Hee-bin barely answers in a difficult tone.
Nanjeong asked her in a worried voice.
“How long have you been there?”
“… A little.. There are a lot.. 2 Billion as corpses.. About..”
“!”
“What.. What?”
“2 Billion?”
The amount of money that came out of Hee-bin’s mouth was far greater than he had imagined.
However, immediately after hearing her words, the faces of the three people in her room began to show deep doubt rather than surprise.
The person she knew, Hee-bin, was someone who, at first glance, had no reason to go into debt like that.
She tends to save too much money in everything, and as a woman, she doesn’t even care about common makeup, let alone the clothes she wears.
She is Hee-bin, who even eats a regular meal feels burdensome.
It was to the point where I thought that was a little too much, and because of that, whenever everyone bought something to eat out together like today, Nanjeong would pick out some of Heebin’s more expensive ones than others.
As she struggles to save even on her equipment and tools as a hunter, which may be directly related to her life, she never thought that Hee-bin would have such a debt. There was.
“No, what is that…”
“What the hell did you do to have 2 billion in debt? Did you put in a coin?”
Hee-bin lowers her head with a look of despair at Nan-jeong’s question.
Then she slowly shook her head and in her trembling voice began to reveal to her colleagues the secrets of herself she had been hiding.
“..I gave you a present. Not me.. My dad.”
Hee-bin’s father, who used to be a successful businessman.
However, one day he stoked the fire of tragedy when he started having fun with futures trading introduced by his colleague.
At first, Hee-bin’s father touched quite a lot of money in the name of so-called beginner’s luck.
However, as time passed and the damage increased, he gradually began to lose control and eventually crossed the line that he should not have crossed.
As a result, Hee-bin’s family is in a pile of debt as the entire business they were running was taken over.
But even in this situation, her father still couldn’t give up his empty dream and continued to increase her debt and invest, and her family fortune fell to the point where it couldn’t get any worse.
Hee-bin, who realized that she had talent as a hunter, decided her career in that direction despite her young age. She stepped into the world of the Black Hunter.
Thanks to that, Hee-bin’s family was able to avoid starving to death.
However… Even in the midst of this, Hee-bin’s father still couldn’t get out of the place that drove them to ruin, and in the end, after the death of his mother, who had been working hard to earn money while working at a restaurant, he became almost a madman now. He was concentrating on that side with a close look.
Hee-bin’s father, who is not yet an adult, is risking her life and pouring the money she earns into her gift trading, while only increasing her debt.
So far, the accumulated debt has reached 2 billion in corpses, and the corpse dealers are constantly pressuring Hee-bin, who has a place to get the money, to demand debt.
What just happened in front of the door just now happened as an extension of that.
Right after her story of Hee-bin was over, Nan-jeong told her her story, expressing her frustration.
“No, if something like that happens, we won’t be able to solve it legally. There must be enough means to prevent her from paying off her parental debt to the child?”
“Of course, I haven’t thought about that either. However, there are younger siblings at home who have not yet entered elementary school. If I let go of my hands, it would be obvious what would happen to those children’s lives.”
“..Kuh..”
At Hee-bin’s words, Nan-jeong automatically started to frown as she recognized that the situation was not as easy as she thought.
Meanwhile, Choi Choong-eon, while listening to her story in silence, asked a question in a voice full of prudence.
“So, what are you planning to do next? Are you going to live forever, clinging to your father who has no answer?”
Choi Chung-eon speaks with the intention of thinking of a method in his own way, even though he is serious.
However, Hee-bin slowly shook her head about this and spoke with a clear determination in her eyes, unlike her previous one.
“No, I have no intention of going that far any longer. After this job, I will be able to pay off some of my debt. Besides, she’s a lawyer she hired, and she’s already done some legal work, and she’s got a rented room to stay with her younger siblings, so she’ll probably be able to move out with her younger siblings for sure.”
“Ohhh… You mean you’ve already made it that far?”
“Well.
Hee-bin tells a more hopeful story than expected.
Seeing her attitude like this, Choi Chung-eon and Lee Min-min’s faces showed smiles, and Yun Nan-jung’s case began to show a visibly relieved look.
“It’s fortunate, to be honest, I’m thinking of going to the country and overturning it.”
“It’s fortunate that the end is going well, but if this had happened, shouldn’t you have told me about it earlier? If anything, this older sister would have helped a little bit.”
Choi Choong-eon, who tells stories that would never be heard as a joke, and Nan-jeong, who talks with a bit of regret.
Looking at the ‘family’ who are so sincerely concerned about him. Heebin replied with a slight blush on her face.
“Already .. She’s been helping enough. To be honest, there were many times when I wanted to give up, but fortunately, thanks to her older sisters and brothers, I was able to come this far.”
Despite her relatively young age, Heebin tells a truly unique story.
Seeing her like this, the Dante members automatically began to smile.
And…
“Well then, in order to help our youngest become self-reliant, do we really have to take on this mission?”
Yoon Nan-jeong speaks first with a bright voice.
To her words, Choi Chung-eon and Lee Min-min also nodded in agreement.
“Luckily, a job came in from the Hunter Association.”
“It is said that heaven helps those who help themselves, and it seems that Miss Hee-bin is now receiving blessings for her hard work without anyone knowing.”
“Everybody..”
Hee-bin knew that the job of the Hunter Association was basically not easy.
However, despite this, colleagues who are willing to step up for themselves in a job that can only become a burden.
Looking at this, Hee-bin felt a tear in a corner of her heart once again, and she smiled brightly with tears in her eyes.

Dante’s members accepted the Hunter Association’s request and investigated the surroundings of the hunter named Nile in question.
Although the inside story was based on the fact that it was for a colleague, apart from that, in proceeding with the work, they began to draw up a plan with a professional coolness and spelling without any errors.
“First of all, there are a total of three places to look for. One is Asgart, where she currently works. The other is about Seon Woo-jin, the manager who is in charge of her and her name is well known on this floor. And the last one is about this chaotic Nyale herself.”
What is known roughly is her profile and address.
According to the circumstances, it was Niyale who seemed to be living with manager Seon Woo-jin, but she honestly couldn’t be sure about this part either until she looked into it herself.
Right after Choe Choong-won organized the overall situation, Yoon Nan-jeong, who had been listening to her story, began to open her mouth in a serious voice.
“Then.. If it’s to investigate the company, I’ll do it as always. There are some connections in Asgart that you can use, so you should be able to finish it easily.”
“Leave the part about Manager Seon Woo-jin to me. The other day, when I was in Olympus for a while, I had a slight connection.”
“Okay, then the question is about Niyale’s tailing.
From noble mtl dot com.
Right after they finished dividing their roles, they immediately got up from their seats and began to act.
Although their own combat power was excellent, everyone had the idea that there was no such thing as failure as they were quite proficient in this kind of work.
Especially this time, with the youngest member of the group, he must succeed.
With so much more determination than usual, they began to work passionately.
