“… What?”
I was slightly surprised by Min So-yeon’s actions.
… Are you going to face it in person?
Motivation is good, but the opponent is not good.
It may have been easy until now, but the skill of the woman with that chain was almost that of a B-class hunter.
It is an opponent who is excellent at controlling magical power by squeezing the magic into the chain without spilling a single bit.
Rather than giving orders to Min So-yeon and Gong Hye-sun and putting them in danger, it’s much more efficient for me to deal with them.
Thinking of a magic that could effectively subdue the opponent, I gently spoke to Min So-yeon.
“Soyeon-ah. Here I… .”
swish-! swish-! swish-! swish-!
At that time, a woman with a chain took a pose as if about to attack,
“Ha ha ha!”
At the same time, Min So-yeon burst out and ran forward.
“Soyeon-ah!!”
too late… !
Judging that it was too late to catch up, I hurriedly raised my magic and tried to assist Min So-yeon.
However, it was much faster for the opponent to attack Min So-yeon than to cast my magic.
A woman swinging her arms and throwing chains.
Whoops-!
Heavy chains cut through the air and rushed towards Min So-yeon.
Tat-!
However, Min So-yeon was not capable of being easily defeated, so she threw herself as if crawling on the ground and barely avoided the chain.
Whoops-
The moment the chain lost its strength in the air without breaking anything.
“Ha ha ha!”
Min So-yeon, who approached the opponent with a strange movement, swung her sword towards the woman’s leg.
Ting-!
Min So-yeon’s attack was narrowly missed.
But Soyeon’s attack doesn’t end with just one shot.
Min So-yeon strangely held the sword with both hands, as if deceiving the laws of physics, and inserted the sword into the woman’s body.
Kang-!
This time, the woman who barely blocked the sword with the chain on her wrist, pulled the chain on the other side, and reversely aimed at Min So-yeon’s back.
no… !
I, who was aiming for the timing, immediately activated the magic I had been preparing for and stomped hard.
Gugugugung-
The moment my foot touched the ground, a rock rising from the ground blocked Soyeon Min from behind, and the rushing chain broke the rock and fell as if it had lost its strength.
It was a small amount of mana, but as much mana was poured into it, the rock was not so soft that it could break easily.
However… .
Still, the rock was mercilessly broken by that heavy chain.
If that goddamn chain touched Soyeon… .
At that time, Min So-yeon, recognizing that the opponent’s attack had failed, pulled out her sword as if trying to attack again.
right at that moment.
“… !”
The opponent’s white mask began to flicker with a light so strong that it was hard to open his eyes.
At the moment when Min So-yeon turned her head and stopped, the woman widened the distance slightly and swung a chain at Min So-yeon.
Awesome liquid-!
Min So-yeon became defenseless for a moment.
There seemed to be no strength to escape the chain.
“no!!!”
I hurriedly squeezed my magic power and made a small shield for Min So-yeon.
However, it was not strong enough because of the lack of magical power because of the use of magic once.
Clang-!!
The chain of the woman who broke the barrier struck Min So-yeon’s stomach.
Puff-!
“Keheuk-.”
The moment I saw Min So-yeon flew helplessly and rolled on the floor, my heart sank and I felt a chill as if the blood in my body had cooled.
“Soyeon-ah!!!”
The moment he reflexively jumped out and approached Min So-yeon.
“Ji, Jihwan! Now!”
Suddenly, a large fireball jumped out from behind and flew to the woman.
It was Gong Hye-sun’s attack.
The woman who approached Min So-yeon and raised the chain high broke the fireball that was flying towards her instead of Min So-yeon.
pass-
As the fireballs scattered across the heavy chains, other fireballs came out and stuck to the woman, as if there were balloons inside a balloon.
Chewy profit-!
She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she could wield a chain around her body.
Now… !
I squeezed the last handful of magical power in my hand and ran.
Tadadadat-
I could feel the fishy taste in my mouth due to the excessive use of magic power, but I couldn’t stop it like this.
The crime of failing to protect Soyeon is not light, and the crime of hurting Soyeon is infinitely heavy.
In exchange for life force, instead of magic, I burst a spark in my hand.
A clenched fist that squeaks and burns in an instant.
… Four steps forward… !
Just as I was about to step forward and put my weight on my fists, the woman who came to her senses saw me approaching and swung her arms in a hurry.
👌👌👌👌👌
A chain that cuts through the air.
However, it must have been that he swung it too hastily, and his speed was so slow that it could be seen.
big… !
I stepped forward once more and managed to dodge the attack, putting my weight on my fist and striking the woman’s mask.
thud!
The moment my fist collided with the woman’s pure white mask, I felt a sharp pain as if my fist had hit the wall.
“Ouch!”
Perhaps the shock was less because the mask was hard, but the woman came to her senses and tried to swing her arm again.
still… !
“Ahhhh!!!”
I quickly crouched to the floor and slammed my fist into the woman’s chin.
puck!! With the sound, part of the mask broke and the woman with her head bent down, with her raised arms trembling helplessly, fell over.
“ha… ha… .”
After watching the fallen woman for a moment, I hurriedly approached Min So-yeon and checked the condition.
“… .”
It doesn’t look like he was seriously injured.
I quickly lifted her shirt and looked at the place where the chain struck.
Slightly below the nameplate.
There was a foreign bruise on Min So-yeon’s pale upper stomach.
“… .”
Soyeon is a child who will become the strongest hunter in the future.
In a situation where he was barely walking, he fought an opponent stronger than him and ended up with a bruise, which is actually commendable.
However… .
Before being a hunter, Soyeon is my only daughter.
Seeing only good things, experiencing only good things, and living happily for the rest of his life, he is not enough.
Seeing him lying wounded like this, I felt something complicated.
“… .”
What use is a hunter, and what use is the strongest?
It’s much more comfortable for me to become the strongest and save the world.
I have watched the process of my wife rising to the top of the list, so I know all the trials and tribulations I have to go through.
You want me to push this child down a thorny road like that hell?
I hugged Soyeon tightly and quietly raised my head and looked at the sky.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Quietly simmering in anger.*
Awakened by the sharp pain in my stomach, I cautiously opened my eyes to the warm sensation that enveloped my body.
… Jih, Jihwan… ?
When I opened my eyes, I saw Jihwan holding me tight and looking up at the sky.
… What happened?
Obviously, I remember getting chained to the ship while fighting that strange woman… .
I can’t remember anything after that.
There’s no way Hye-sun Gong did it, and Ji-hwan must have defeated that strange woman… .
… I want to die… .
The moment I grasped the situation, a tremendous amount of shame came over me.
I went out on my own to get some compliments, but in the end I ended up like this, so what would Jihwan think of me?
Jihwan is kind, so he won’t laugh at me, but you might think I’m a bit of a troublesome woman.
… uh… .
… This is all because of Hye-sun Gong.
I should have listened to Jihwan telling him to wait, why did he follow me… !
Of course, I tried to follow along, but if Hye-sun Gong didn’t come, I didn’t have to force myself to get compliments.
That pink hair bitch… . I’m really annoyed… .
When he was blaming Gong Hye-sun for trying to hide his shame, Ji-hwan slowly lowered his head.
… 👌👌👌👌
I pretended to faint at the thought of wanting to be hugged a little longer and closed my eyes, silently waiting for Jihwan’s next action.
By the way… .
… Yes?
Ji-hwan carefully laid me down and started talking with Gong Hye-sun.
“… Sun-ah… thank you… .”
“ring… I did it… !”
“… ah… ?”
“this… .”
… What are you talking about?
Perhaps it was because there was a building rubble by the bedside, so I couldn’t hear the two of them properly.
“… huh? mouth… .”
“… … okay cow… .”
Gong Hye-sun, who recommends something, and Yoo Ji-hwan, who seems to push it as if it was okay.
As I was overhearing the conversation between the two of them wrestling over and over, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
… Will it happen now? ?
Come to think of it, there is no reason for me to lie down like this in the first place.
All you have to do is get up as if you are awake and pretend you don’t know anything.
Above all, when I wake up, won’t Jihwan hug me?
Since the part is also a part, I think it would be okay to ask him to stroke the chest if it hurts.
After much deliberation, I decided to get up.
“… .”
I could suddenly realize that Yoo Ji-hwan and Gong Hye-sun had become quiet.
… what?
That moment when I was measuring the timing to get up, wondering if Jihwan was approaching me.
zum-
… Yes?
There was a sound that sounded like something.
As if lips and lips collide… .
It sounds like a kiss.
Unintentionally, I jumped up and quickly turned my head to look around.
and… .
“Soyeon-ah!”
Yoo Ji-hwan, wiping his lips, and approaching with a bright face,
I could see Gong Hye-sun looking at Ji-hwan with dim eyes, stroking her lips.
… What, what?
Unlike Yoo Ji-hwan, who runs anxiously, Gong Hye-sun shows a subtle atmosphere.
It definitely felt like something was there.
“Soyeon-ah! are you okay? Where are you sick?”
“… A little chest.”
“chest? see… oh … How does that hurt? Does it hurt a lot?”
“… It’s just, it hurts… .”
I entrusted myself to Yoo Ji-hwan, who was looking at me anxiously, and turned my gaze slightly to look at Gong Hye-sun, who came late.
Instead of the faint expression he had just seen, he had a somewhat satisfied face.
… This fox year… . What did you do to our Jihwan? ?
I looked at Gong Hye-sun with a suspicious look, and she made eye contact with her face cold.
“… hahaha, really… . So Yeon-ah. Is the boat okay?”
“… I don’t know.”
“okay? … Once you’ve rested here for a while… .”
I glanced away from Yoo Ji-hwan’s worried gaze and looked at Gong Hye-sun again.
She still looks down at me with a cold face.
With the thought that I would not lose, I opened my eyes and met the gaze, Gong Hye-sun raised the corner of her mouth and received my gaze with ease.
… I, that year… .
I felt bad because it felt like something was laughing at me.
