“…?”
Upon hearing this, Seo Hyun-woo frowned and stared at Ryu Seon-hwa fiercely.
Then, Ryu Seon-hwa bursts into laughter and puts her lips to Seo Hyun-woo’s ear.
“It’s a joke. Did you think it was strange?”
“I think you induced me to think strangely.”
“Still, do you see that I look like a woman?”
“You don’t look like a woman, you look like a woman. What the hell are you…”
Seo Hyun-woo and Ryu Seon-hwa turn their heads at the same time, feeling the presence.
Heavily armed in battle uniforms and helmets were appearing one by one.
On the left chest of the combat uniform was a badge with a skull drawn in three diagonal lines.
In addition, he had a specially made baton and a taser gun, so he could immediately recognize who it was.
“I came from the Hunter’s Squadron. Excuse me, could you show me your ID?”
“All right.”
Seo Hyun-woo took out his wallet from his pocket and threw it away.
There was nothing good about acting suspiciously in front of the task force.
Even so, handing over the ID was the safest way.
“…you are the student council president of Miterichi.”
“Yes. I personally delivered the contents to the Black Demon Lord.”
“There were a lot of mistakes. Is the person next to you a friend?”
“yes. She’s my girlfriend.”
“…?”
As soon as the members of the SWAT team heard that, they immediately fixed their eyes on Seo Hyun-woo.
How could I come to such a dangerous place with my girlfriend?
Of course, I could have witnessed this situation while traveling with my girlfriend, so it wasn’t very strange.
“That’s right. Not all of them have been arrested yet. It may be dangerous, so we will escort you all the way.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Seo Hyun-woo gets his wallet back and leaves the scene with Ryu Seon-hwa.
The members of the task force were escorting the two men, but they had no choice but to have doubts.
Does the student council president of Miterichi, who is so strong, need to be escorted by them?
“How long are you going to pretend to be my girlfriend?”
Seo Hyun-woo spoke first when he and Ryu Seon-hwa were left alone.
Ryu Seon-hwa showed a satisfied expression and answered calmly.
“Um… until you like it?”
“Be careful in the future. This time we’ll just skip it, but there’s no next time.”
“Do you hate me being your girlfriend so much?”
“It’s not that I hate being your girlfriend, it’s that I hate that you lie.”
“Then it doesn’t matter if I’m your girlfriend?”
“Don’t blur the point. I get tired of being misunderstood because of you.”
“How about me being your girlfriend?”
“This is not the end of the story. Just don’t do it!”
“… okay.”
Ryu Seon-hwa showed sad eyes and answered softly.
Seo Hyun-woo looked at Ryu Seon-hwa’s reaction and then sighed.
“Huh… a girlfriend can be a friend even if it’s difficult. Would this be okay?”
“I’m a little sad…”
“I don’t understand what’s missing.”
“Usually, you build relationships with friends little by little… In a way, this is probably right.”
Ryu Seon-hwa shows a strange smile and meets Seo Hyun-woo’s gaze.
He was an imperfect Arch Demon Kraxis, but at the same time, he seemed to be a near-perfect human.
Indigo blue eyes that seem to capture the night sky, a cold yet charming face, and a calm yet sweet voice.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe even if it wasn’t for Craxis, I would have gone blind by myself.“Are you going to play with me today? I won’t tell you to go eat ramen.”
“You have to work tomorrow.”
“Without me, the deputy manager can do everything. Can I take a day off?”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Go and have a cup of coffee at my house. Oh, don’t misunderstand this. It’s not ramen, it’s coffee, right?”
Seo Hyun-woo stopped walking and looked at Ryu Seon-hwa without a word.
Ryu Seon-hwa secretly expects and waits for the desired answer.
“I’ll give you a drink, but nothing more. I’ll just have a drink and go right away.”
“You can go to sleep. It is quite spacious.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not strong enough to go to sleep in a house where a woman lives alone.”
“Aren’t you being too revealing? I never thought of that.”
“Ah, that’s right. I have to pretend that the story didn’t exist before.”
“Hey, it’s a joke. I like coffee.”
“after…”
Seo Hyun-woo shakes his head and moves forward quickly.
Ryu Seon-hwa shows a smile of joy and follows him.
I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold on to it, but wouldn’t it be satisfying if we could just chat happily?
‘I’m embarrassed to do that. I mean, it’s surprisingly cute.’
***
Baek Seo-yeon’s kitchen.
Baek Seo-yeon took a tray with three teacups and headed towards the living room.
In the living room, his only family and the visitor he had always seen, each sat on the sofa.
Baek Seo-yeon puts three teacups on the table and places them in front of them.
“How was your meal? I was careful about serving it, but I don’t know if it would have suited my taste.”
“It was delicious. It makes me want to come again next time.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered cautiously with his back straight.
I’ve been through a lot of events so far, but I’ve never felt as tense as I am now.
If I had to compare it, wouldn’t it be similar to the wild runaway device, the undead subjugation, and the Rebellion air raid?
“Are you going to come back next time? It must have been a little different then.”
Baek Jeong-woon shows a light smile and raises the teacup.
Recently, while clearing out the remnants of Rebellion, he had no choice but to move quite busy to find the leader.
Of course, the committee provided convenience, but I had to deal with the subjugation plan that had been delayed.
And it was only now that I had free time, and Miterichi was also on vacation, so Seo Hyun-woo was invited to his house.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing has been decided yet, but I plan to keep an eye on it. Because people’s minds change at any time.”
Baek Jeong-woon acknowledged Seo Hyun-woo in his heart, but he did not consider the latter.
Depending on the situation, it could cause great disappointment to himself or worsen his relationship with Baek Seo-yeon.
So, until Seo Hyun-woo graduated from Miterichi, he was trying to maintain a neutral position.
“Can you tell what more you are watching?”
“Who else is there but you? It seems that the committee was also paying attention to you.”
“Now that I’m a candidate for Setinos Hunter, it’s only natural for me to get the attention.”
“There are many other reasons besides that. You would know best.”
Seo Hyun-woo was in a state of amicably resolved external incidents, including Miterich.
Of course, it was easy to solve because Seo Hyun-woo had excellent talent and ability.
In addition, he did not know exactly what would happen in the future and the people involved in it.
“I was just lucky. It’s something anyone can do.”
“You’re giving me a funny answer. Just being lucky isn’t enough. You just have to have the skills and the senses to support it. Does everyone mean the Setinos Hunters?”
“Is it possible? These are the people I don’t dare to overcome.”
“If you are, you will be able to get there before you turn 30.”
Baek Jeong-woon has been observing since he fought Seo Hyun-woo.
Han Yoo-jeong received all information about Seo Hyeon-woo, and through Seong Jae-heon and Oh Seong-hyun, he was able to indirectly grasp the thoughts of the Setinos Hunters.
As a result, he became more confident about Seo Hyun-woo, and he came to the conclusion that he could help out a little.
“I still have about a year left before I graduate from Miterichi. No one knows what will happen in the meantime.”
“For example, Seoyeon wins over you?”
“It’s not quite impossible. His abilities have also been transformed, so I don’t think we should be vigilant.”
“… Have you never had a fight with Seoyeon since then?
“Yes.”
Baek Jeong-woon slowly nodded and looked at Baek Seo-yeon.
In the past, he had been training every day, saying that he would surely take the seat of the student council president.
But these days, he didn’t even mention him, and he sent only brief greetings.
‘There’s no way I can give up on Seoyeon’s personality. After all, Seoyeon is the student council president…’
Baek Jeong-woon puts up his smile and hurriedly drinks a cup of tea.
I was able to understand how much the young children had special feelings for each other.
Of course, if he did something he shouldn’t have done, or if he didn’t like it, he would always stop him.
“Then you must have decided on a path now.”
“… Yes. We have already finished talking with the vice president.”
“…?”
Unknowingly, Baek Jeong-woon blinks his eyes and looks at Seo Hyun-woo.
That answer meant that Seo Hyun-woo would move with Baek Seo-yeon.
I wonder if he is trying to do even Baek Seo-yeon because he is swayed by personal emotions.
“We decided to form a subjugation team together. There are a few people who are expected to join.”
“… Oh, that’s right. Hmmm.”
Baek Jeong-woon coughs in vain and doesn’t say anything for a while.
Creating a subjugation team among rookie hunters was not a very good choice.
There was also a limit to being assigned a dungeon, and I had to find an experienced hunter who could guide the subjugation plan and direction.
No matter how good the two people were, they wouldn’t be able to easily lead the dungeon subjugation with a large number of hunters.
“From the point of view of the person in charge of subjugation planning, it is not a very good method. It’s best for you guys to join the existing subjugation team as much as possible.”
“I want to prioritize the safety of team members and team stability rather than dungeon subjugation. After entering the dungeon, don’t they all come back alive?”
“…”
Although Baek Jeong-woon thinks it is a different opinion, he deeply sympathizes with it.
When it comes to an official hunter, it is usually the first thing to consider the system of a solid dungeon subjugation and subjugation team.
It was only when the dungeon subjugation was completely completed that he was able to receive appropriate profits and treatment, and his survival was guaranteed only when the subjugation team was established.
However, it was only a wish, and I did not know what was going to happen in reality, so I wanted to improve my skills and join a better subjugation team.
“It is true that the survival rate of hunters has increased compared to the past. But just because the survival rate is high doesn’t mean you can survive.”
“You are not wrong.”
“Even if you are given a lot of money and fame, what good is it if you lose your life? On the days when there is a disability in the body, even if it is alive, it is not alive.”
Hearing those words, I wondered if Baek Jeong-woon was already relieved.
Unlike other subjugation teams, Seo Hyun-woo meant that he would think of his teammates before performance.
Obviously, the concept of a colleague would include Baek Seo-yeon, and if there was a problem, he would try to save Baek Seo-yeon first.
“…so unrealistic. Even if my teammates can be safe, I won’t be able to do my part as a subjugation team.”
“So I would like to make a proposal. Hunter Baek Jeong-woon, can you be the operation manager of our subjugation team?”
