Episode 176. Favorable feelings (2)
Is there a culture of keeping pets on Earth?
Of course there will be. That’s because even now, related information is pouring out like a flood from Kim Ki-ryeo’s brain.
So what I’m saying is, what I’m going to do from now on is like… … what you do when you’re cleaning your pet rodent’s house and it escapes into the living room.
-Crack!
It is an attempt to capture an animal by luring it with the scent of food that the animal likes.
“Huh!”
“Gyaaaah!”
“for a moment……!”
Sigh.
I cut my left wrist with the dismantling scissors that Choi Jin had given me. I sprayed the blood that came out all over the area.
A vampire who can detect the condition of another person’s blood even in a sealed state without a single wound. Of course, I can’t stand this.
-!!
As expected, a response comes within a few seconds.
The shapeshifter’s wings flapped twice as fast as before, as if he was excited by the scent of blood that suited his taste.
With that momentum, it’s only a matter of time before they rush over here.
“Gi, Kim Ki-ryeo Hunter! Oh, no. What the hell is that!”
“Calm down and take care of your little brother.”
Shake shake.
Immediately afterwards, I took a bottle of red water out of my pocket and drank its contents in front of Choi Jin.
At the same time, the bleeding from my wrist stopped abruptly.
Actually, this is a grapefruit drink bought at a convenience store… But I have at least a little bit of common sense.
‘It would look strange if I were to regenerate my wounds on my own, since I’m not even a healer. When I’m repairing, I should at least pretend to drink a potion.’
While I was thinking about this and that, the predator in the sky finally took the bait.
“Ahhhhh!”
Choi Jin-hee flies in with a scream. Her speed is not inferior to that of the beginner killer, who is famous for being fast.
In fact, by the time I turned my head after hearing that shout, the opponent was already right in front of me.
A rushing flying creature.
The vampire fell fiercely into the blood-spattered empty lot.
At the same time, Choi Jin recognized his brother’s rush and quickly grabbed one of its wings, but… … .
The problem is acceleration.
The kinetic energy of Jinhee, who flew in with repeated acceleration, was incredible. Even if an A-class were to stop it with their whole body, they would easily knock over their prey.
“town.”
Kkuddddddd!
What followed was the sound of asphalt grinding.
I was grabbed by Choi Jin-hee’s neck and thrown to the ground. The road was torn apart and the streetlights were pulled out.
Thanks to that, I was pushed back at least 30 meters from my seat, but compared to the spectacular attack, the damage was not that great.
This is because the coating effect of the sacred tree sapling prevents even a single skin scratch in the midst of chaos.
‘Whew.’
Temptation is the best!
I held my breath for a moment, waiting for the dust around me to settle.
But looking at the situation, it seems like suffocation would occur faster than the dust disappearing.
“Haaah! Euaaaah!”
“Jinhee, stay still!”
“Oh my, what kind of strength is this… …!”
Soon after, the A-class hunters of the Faith Guild began to engage in a fierce battle with the vampires above my body.
Choi Jin and his team tried their best to subdue Jinhee, who was in [confusion].
It wasn’t an easy task. How could a B-class hunter like Jinhee have been on this team in the first place?
Hunter society is a thorough meritocracy. You can’t just take advantage of the weak just because they’re sisters.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Jinhee, please… … .”
“Let go of this! Let go of this!”
Although he had sufficient strength to begin with, when he lost his sanity due to his abnormal condition, the shapeshifter’s strength soared to a level that was difficult to handle.
Swish! Jinhee Choi roughly grabs my wrist, which still has blood stains on it.
If it weren’t for the improved defense, my wrist would probably have been torn off at this point.
I was attacked by a crazy vampire, and after waiting 30 minutes for the delicious chicken galbi I finally got to take out was blown away by a gust of wind.
Anyway, it’s a day where nothing goes well, but I guess this is the end.
“Ahhhh!”
Immediately afterwards, the vampire was thrown backwards, its wings caught in my sister’s hands.
“Ugh, ugh… … !”
Finally it fell off.
The shapeshifter struggled and writhed even after being subdued, but Choi Jin held him back with his whole body.
‘Oh, the dragon’s heart is different after all!’
Then, should I also start waking up?
I have been lying like a corpse under Choi Jin-hee until now.
With my F-class brawn, I really couldn’t move a single finger in the situation just now…

‘Did you get dust in your eyes? I suddenly feel like crying.’
I got up from my seat, swallowing a secret that no one knew about.
“Please use the skill quickly!”
“Oh, yes!”
And then, when this guy was taking off his dirty suit jacket and shaking it out.
Listening to the sound, it seemed like the situation on the other side had also been sorted out.
While we were going through that mess, luckily the healer with high status ailment resistance was the first to get out of the chaos.
Because the healer immediately cast a spell to awaken Choi Jin’s younger brother.
“omg!”
Soon, all team members returned to their usual state.
Jinhee, whose abnormal status had been lifted, suddenly stretched her body as if the aftereffects of her madness were belatedly coming back to her.
“Jinhee, are you awake?”
Chuuk.
But it seems like she hasn’t figured out the situation yet. The younger sister just blinked at her sister’s question.
“Sister… … . Sorry.”
It was a long time later that Jinhee opened her mouth again.
She hid the abnormal organ she had created with her skill, and asked for forgiveness with her hands and feet that had returned softly.
Then, the older sister said that it was okay. Rather, she hugged her younger sister tightly and consoled her, saying that this was her mistake.
It was a rare friendship.
‘hmm?’
But then… … .
‘what?’
At a time when I was observing Earthlings without much thought.
For some reason, a strange reaction came my way.
Choi Jin suddenly looked up from where she was caressing her younger brother, but for some reason, from the moment our eyes met, her black irises remained fixed and stared straight ahead.
‘Long eye contact.’
Come to think of it, whenever I did something like that, Earthlings would get angry and ask if I was picking a fight with them.
‘Huh? A fight?’
I was momentarily taken aback by the other person’s hostile expression. However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t easily guess the cause of the behavior.
***
A-class hunter Choi Jin.
The figure thought as he stroked his brother’s back.
It was incredibly stupid of me to try to hide my strength from a monster.
He said that because he was being such a guest, his colleagues suffered all kinds of hardships.
“under.”
Choi Jin constantly vented his self-criticism.
For a moment, the blade of that criticism turned outward.
Couldn’t this incident be seen as having a separate cause?
If it weren’t for that S-class hunter, I wouldn’t have decided to hide my skills.
‘… … .’
Choi Jin closed his eyes tightly.
Yeah, I know that for a fact.
Those thoughts just now were just pathetic excuses, and this situation was brought to a peaceful conclusion thanks to that hunter.
Choi Jin opened his closed eyes and looked at the park ground. There were still red blood stains clearly visible there.
‘That’s crazy.’
She was usually reluctant to use the expression “crazy” toward people.
But this time, I really had nothing else to say.
-Can you lend me some scissors for a moment?
-scissors?
-Yes. Those sharp dismantling scissors you have in your hand.
Sigh.
The reason that person sacrificed his life was simply to call Choi Jin-hee to the surface. Who wouldn’t be shocked to see that?
There was no time to stop.
As soon as Kim Ki-ryeo received the dismantling tool, he did it without a second thought.
‘crazy…….’
Choi Jin repeated the foul language he had been avoiding.
But on the other hand, I was also convinced that Kim Ki-ryeo had a clearer mind than anyone else.
The highest level Awakened people don’t get drunk on things like alcohol. Unlike ordinary people, these hunters rarely lose their ability to think.
‘It’s even more horrifying to think that he did it while he was still sober.’
Then why did Kim Ki-ryeo choose such an unusual solution among the many solutions?
“Sister, are you okay? Are you sick too?”
Jin Choi somehow seemed to know the reason.
Kim Ki-ryeo is a S-class hunter.
He is also a skilled S-class player that my cousin has praised so much that he is almost worn out from talking.
But what if such a person tried to catch a vampire awakener himself at someone’s hasty request… .
His own younger brother might not be well by now.
Because an S-class is truly that kind of creature.
Even a small amount of carelessness can break the bones of a B-class hunter like a reed.
‘I know its power well because I was directly hit by an S-class hunter.’
Maybe Kim Ki-ryeo also knew this fact and that’s why he used the method of calling Jin-hee blood?
If you think about it again, that’s actually a relatively moderate method of capture.
And it seems that the S-class hunter thought of the other person’s safety as the best option even when the Awakened One who came down to the ground attacked.
‘I stood still like a corpse, waiting for Jinhee to calm down.’
If it were Kang Chang-ho, he would have already struck down the rude B-class who grabbed his neck, and if it were Jeong Ha-seong, he would have panicked and struggled to get the vampire off.
‘… … .’
Choi Jin, who was sorting out the case, ultimately interpreted the actions of a S-class hunter as follows.
‘You saw it.’
He looked after my brother.
Just so you don’t get hurt.
‘How could this be… … .’
In fact, it was obvious that Kiria was weak and could not do anything, but there was no way she could know the truth.
Soon, Choi Jin got up from his seat and bowed deeply to the hunter who approached him.
“Thank you for your help.”
Her eyes no longer had the venom they once had.
“It seems like you couldn’t eat the meal you ordered because of us, so I’ll definitely compensate you for the cost of the chicken galbi.”
“Really?”
“And the potion you used earlier. If you just tell me what level it was, I can immediately… … .”
Actually, I was a little skeptical when I heard my younger brother say that Kim Ki-ryeo willingly gave him his blood.
I tried to avoid the first impression that was too late… … .
Choi Jin slowly came to understand the true nature of the hunter named Kiryeo. He was more generous and kind than he had thought.
“No, that’s fine.”
“yes?”
“Don’t worry about the potions. By the way, is your little brother okay?”
He had a personality that made it seem like he was affectionate despite his cold face.
That’s why Yun Seung kept praising him as a man of noble character.
“Yes. Thanks to you, Hunter, no one was seriously injured, so everyone is fine.”
Choi Jin continued the conversation with a much more friendly attitude. The misunderstanding was probably resolved, as she had something else she wanted to say to the other person.
“But Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo, I’m saying this out of concern for an old woman, but… … .”
“yes?”
“You usually go on raids with Hunter Kang Chang-ho, right? Well, please don’t feel bad and listen to me. I don’t know why you’re friends with someone like Kang Chang-ho, but personally, I hope you never trust that hunter.”
Soon, Choi Jin mentioned Kang Chang-ho in a small voice.
If a sane person had such a hunter as a companion, there was a high probability that Kiria had been deceived in some way.
Choi Jin began to describe the Kang Chang-ho she knew, using words like ‘opportunist’ and ‘personality disorder.’
Then, Kim Ki-ryeo also solved the question that had been pending.
The dragon hunter finally realized why he had been his enemy.
“Oh, is that what’s been bothering you so far?”
I did something again.
Kiryun soon revealed that she wasn’t with that person because she liked him.
“Don’t worry, he’s a son of a bitch to me too.”
“Really? No, then why did you think of going out with a person like that? How can you trust him?”
Choi Jin asked back with a surprised look, but what he got in return was the S-class man shrugging his shoulders indifferently.
“It’s a bit complicated to explain.”
“ah…….”
“Maybe it’s for similar reasons to yours.”
hmm?
But what does this mean?
Choi Jin raised his head as if he was puzzled after hearing the sentence the other person had brought out, and Kiryeon quietly looked down at him.
“Hmm, it was a bit ambiguous until the daytime… … .”
The conversation continued a few seconds later.
“Choi Jin Hunter, just in case, do you know Esther from the Korean Tower?”
“no?”
Kiryeo started asking somewhat random questions. However, every statement had its own meaning.
After a long period of observation, he noticed another characteristic of the Choi sisters.
“aha.”
In fact, the sisters were cursed in pairs.
That too is a fairly high-level curse.
But based on my experience so far, there have only been two instances on Earth where a curse of this magnitude has manifested.
“Then I see you have signed the knight’s oath?”
He listed other cases that he had thought of. However, immediately after that, the atmosphere in the empty lot changed abruptly.
