The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 107

Episode 107. Press Conference (3)

“I guess we’ll have to postpone the press conference. It’ll be difficult to express our position at this rate.”

Esther seemed to be trying to come up with a new plan as soon as she confirmed Jeong Ha-seong’s interview.

I didn’t have time to think about that.

This situation was too sudden for a mere F-class to handle.

“Yes, that’s right.”

We eventually abandoned our original plan to gather friendly reporters and manipulate public opinion.

But I guess there’s no need to refund the clothes just because the press conference was canceled.

The guild leader of Matap completed the payment without saying anything, leaving his signature on the card reader.

“Mr. Kiryeo, can you tell me the address of where you are temporarily living?”

“address?”

After that, Esther made several requests that I didn’t understand, but I opened my mouth obediently after hearing that this was also necessary for the payment process.

“Can I call you by your street address?”

Well, now that the closet is finished, I have to figure out how to get out of this situation… … .

***

How can a sharp number appear in such a short period of time?

“ha.”

A while later.

I got out of the taxi, neatly dressed.

Oh right, where did you put the old clothes you took off and are now empty-handed?

-Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, I have a question. How much does this man-to-man cost?

-I think I got it for free somewhere.

-Then one more question. Do you have any important memories tied to this?

-Nothing in particular?

By the way, those old clothes were disposed of by the hands of a sorcerer.

Esther asked again if this item was important, then quickly tore the gift jacket to pieces.

-Oh my. Mistake! I’m sorry. Is it because I’m so tired these days that I can’t control my strength?

Of course, it wasn’t something to be concerned about.

Anyway, this person is the type of person who only needs something to wear right now.

‘It’s thin, but it’s warmer than I thought. Should I consider it like getting new teeth for old ones?’

I closed the coat I had received as a gift and walked down the street with thumping steps.

“hmm?”

But at the very moment when I was about to return to Kim Ki-ryeo’s studio apartment, I felt a strange sense of discomfort at the corner of the alley.

-Growling, groaning… … .

A neighborhood with a different atmosphere than usual.

There aren’t many commercial districts around here, so there aren’t many people around, so why are they chattering so much?

‘Is there a fire somewhere?’

I tilted my head and moved forward.

But strangely, the questionable murmurs become clearer the closer you get to Kim Ki-ryeo’s house.

chin.

The street corner in front of the house that we had already reached.

-Click!

As I came around the fence, I was struck by an unidentified flash of light.

-Click! Click!

-Sparkle.

Yes. In fact, all the commotion that has been happening so far has been spreading from this very place.

“come!”

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo!”

“Hey, hey. Turn the camera over there!”

“Take a picture, take a picture!”

What the hell is going on… … .

‘How many people are there in total?’

I was startled by the crowd before my eyes and stepped back.

I never thought there would be so many people in this narrow street.

There seemed to be about 20 of them, most of them carrying large cameras on their shoulders.

They are all people who came from broadcasting stations.

“Hunter! Could you give me a quick interview?”

“Here, bring the mic!”

But how did the reporters find their way here?

Even though the Earth is an information society, is it really that easy to specify where people live?

‘Information leaks are happening too fast!’

If you think about it, things started to go wrong around lunchtime.

It’s only been a day since the rumor started and already most of my personal information has been leaked.

‘It’s strange… … !’

The speed was enough to make one suspect that the data had been leaked on purpose.

So then who is the spy?

Esther, who suddenly asked for your address at the clothing store?

That can’t be. I just broke up with that person, so the timing just isn’t right.

So what other suspects could there be?

Any hunter’s address, name, and even rank could be spread…

‘her.’

A place I had a hunch about quickly came to mind.

Because I have been facing this problem consistently for a long time.

‘If I think about it, every time something happened at the gate, the news went straight to Kang Chang-ho’s ears.’

Korea Hunter Association.

That’s right. That government agency has been light-mouthed since before.

So, there is no reason to trust them even in this situation.

‘There again?’

Various speculations about the information leak flashed through my mind, but I couldn’t keep these thoughts in my mind for long.

“Hunter!”

“Kim Ki-ryeo, the Hunter!”

In a moment, a pack of wild dogs called reporters surrounded me.

“Ugh.”

Click, click click.

I was pushed to the end of the road by the spirit of the people rushing towards me. The temperature of the wall touching my back was cold.

But the reporters shoved their microphones into the terrified subjects without paying any attention to them.

So, a makeshift press conference was held against the backdrop of a red house fence.

It’s a bit of a sudden schedule, but what can you do?

“Please say something!”

“This is Lee Ji-young, a reporter from YTV. Is it true that you single-handedly resolved a Class A gate in the past?”

“Everyone, it’s dangerous, so don’t push your way in!”

They were determined not to back down until they heard an answer.

I took a deep breath, glancing over the humans making a fuss with loud voices.

What was finally spat out were a few sentences from someone wearing the corpse’s skin.

***

at las.

Long, long… … .

The flashback is over.

‘ha.’

One winter day when snow was falling lightly.

I used to close my eyes tightly against this wall and reminisce about the past.

I wanted to figure out for myself what mistake I had made that had led to this situation.

‘Looking back, a lot has happened since I was reincarnated.’

I slowly lifted my closed eyelids.

And concluded.

‘If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have been born on Earth.’

Yeah. Why do you have to go into detail about what’s wrong?

From the beginning!

This reincarnation is just!

I’ve been addicted to it since the beginning!

It was a mistake to come into this flesh like this. And now you’re asking yourself what you did wrong or something like that.

Wake up, you punk!

“No, no comment?”

“Are you denying any manipulation of the ratings?”

The reporters seemed quite taken aback by what they had just heard, but I did not change my attitude.

‘Whether you choose S-class or F-class, you die… …!’

Due to the circumstances, we haven’t decided what position to take yet, so I asked if you had anything to say.

I remained silent in response to all the reporters’ questions.

Besides, once I started talking back, it was actually easier from then on.

I realized that they were all unawakened and went out rather shamelessly.

As expected, the suspicion that the opponent could be an S-class hunter seems to have considerable power.

“omg.”

I looked down at the reporter in front of me without saying anything, my hands in my pockets.

Then the reporter slowly steps aside, clearing the way.

‘It’s definitely good for scaring people by pretending to be S-class.’

So why bother to hang around in this noisy place?

I headed straight home that way.

I thought that if I went inside the barrier and locked the door, at least I wouldn’t be invaded.

-Click, click, click.

But when I saw that shutter sound coming from afar.

Somehow I have a feeling things won’t work out that easily.

.

.

.

30 minutes later.

-Ding dong!

The doorbell rings clearly from beyond the front door.

It’s really annoying.

I thought things would be quiet once I got home, but those crazy things are now calling people all the time.

-Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo, are you inside?

If it were the old days, anyone who dared to invade the Great Wizard’s residence would have been hung on the street…

At the moment, I had no power to punish them.

If I call the police, I wonder if they’ll really arrest them for something as simple as ringing the doorbell.

“ha.”

So I decided to take refuge for a while because I was so harassed by reporters.

But choosing a shelter isn’t easy.

Since we don’t know much about Earth’s residential system, we couldn’t find a place to stay with high security.

‘Alien handicap.’

Now what remains is a rather simple means.

I picked up the cell phone that was on the desk.

The recipient was fixed.

[Yoonseung Ahn☎]

Yes. You’ve done me a favor, but when else would you use it if not now? A-class housing would at least be better than the cheap lodgings scattered around the streets.

“hello?”

Calls connected within.

I was impressed by Ahn Yoon-seung’s quick response and told him the whole story.

Something came up right now, so I was wondering if I could stay at your house for a few days.

“Yoon Seung-ah, I beg you.”

Of course, the answer was obvious.

If you are a gentle-hearted Earthling like Yunseung, you will not ignore my difficult situation of being bothered by noise.

-All right.

As expected, Yoon Seung soon gave a positive answer.

‘uh?’

Wait, but if you listen closely to this, it’s a bit hard to describe it as positive.

-So you’re saying I just need to prepare a room for you to use? …?

A hoarse voice.

A feeble tone of voice.

‘Why is this kid like this again?’

I briefly questioned Yoon Seung’s voice coming from the speaker.

Moreover, this sense of discomfort persisted even after the location changed.

“Well, welcome.”

A few hours later.

I managed to reach the residence of this A-class hunter with great difficulty, paying attention to the tracking, but the opponent was blatantly avoiding my eyes from the entrance.

“This is the guest room that you will use, brother. The bathroom is in this hallway.”

“… … .”

“Oh, and my parents are going down to their relatives’ house for a bit and will be back the day after tomorrow… … . Don’t worry too much about it. I explained the situation to them in advance.”

A hardened face and a low voice.

I stared at him blankly, without letting go of my suitcase.

‘Earth-style emotional expressions are still difficult to read.’

Of course, you can’t know what’s on someone’s mind just from a little bit like their facial expression, so the only answer is conversation.

I rolled my eyes and said,

“Am I being too much of a nuisance?”

“yes?”

“No, for some reason, your reaction has been like that ever since I last spoke to you.”

“… .”

“If you insist on doing something you don’t want to do but insist that it’s okay, then… … .”

But the truth was a bit different from what I had guessed. As soon as Yoon Seung heard those words, he was terrified and waved his hands.

“No way! I never thought of that!”

“then?”

“That, that… … .”

When I persistently pressed him, pointing out his pale complexion, Yunseung began a simple explanation.

“……in fact.”

He said it in a crawling voice.

***

Two days ago from now.

Ahn Yoon-seung was shocked when he heard the news of the inevitable emergence of evil.

But the reason for the shock was a little different from others.

He’s not a monster, nor is he a city that’s been turned into a wasteland.

[Around 4pm. The inevitable evil was finally defeated.]

Because it collapsed the most when it appeared.

“… … .”

Ahn Yoon-seung entered the gate on the 11th when the inevitable evil appeared.

And by the time he finished his attack and came out, breaking news was streaming out from the building’s electronic board.

There was news that some unknown hunter had taken the life out of an Imoogi.

“… … .”

The main character of the incident couldn’t even see his face because it was a small screen taken by a drone camera, but how could he not recognize that clear gold color?

Ahn Yoon-seung stared blankly at the news running on the scoreboard for a long time.
