The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 289

Episode 289. World Artifact Expo (2)

Hey, hey, hey.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this nervous about the sound of someone pulling a carrier in my life.

Moritake Ito waited for his opponent stiffly with his trapezius muscles stiff.

At this moment, someone at the airport brought up the topic in a bright voice.

“Welcome, Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo!”

It was Iori.

In some ways, he is the only S-class ranker in Japan who can be said to be unrelated to any specific incident.

He never coveted any legendary items.

Moreover, I was able to confidently approach Koreans because I did not turn a blind eye to evil deeds for fear of pressure from my colleagues.

“Thank you for coming back to Japan! How many seasons has it been?”

“…….”

“Last time it was Kyushu, and this time it’s Tokyo, the capital of the country. I’m really sorry about the raid the other day! Thank you.”

“…….”

“I’ve heard from the raid members about the kindness Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo showed us.”

Iori smiled cheerfully on the outside, but on the other hand, he seemed a little worried.

The auction, which was prepared as the highlight of the second day of the event, was of such a scale that it wouldn’t have been strange for S-class players from all over the world to flock there.

‘Why did an S-rank awakened person come in on the first day of the event?’

Would such a strong person really come here to tour the islands?

And by blowing 24 hours of S-rank precious time?

Glance.

Iori glanced once in the direction of his former coworker and once straight ahead.

“And if you haven’t been able to reserve a place to stay because you’re arriving in a hurry, I have a hotel I’ve reserved for our distinguished guests.”

To be honest, the only mistake I made in the last Kagoshima Dragon Raid was fainting twice in the dungeon.

Iori took a very low posture in front of the arriving hunters.

Even without having to judge right or wrong, the man in front of me was someone who helped my hometown through its crisis.

“If you need anything, just let me know! Haha, hahaha……”

First of all, it’s because it looks scary.

Iori maintained his upright posture for a simpler reason than expected.

Then, the guest from Korea put his carrier next to him and started looking through his items, taking out the equipment he needed to talk about later.

The Korean at the airport soon had PIXY’s wired translator hanging on his ear.

“Thank you for your welcome.”

Then, mechanical Japanese came out from the waist speaker connected to the opponent’s earset.

“Is it being translated correctly?”

“Ah, yes! Of course, Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo.”

If you just look at the sentences that flowed, the conversation was overall favorable.

“By the way, I’m just asking out of curiosity, but did Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo come to see the [Triaina] auction that we prepared?”

It didn’t take long for the atmosphere to change.

When Iori asked if he had come to see [Triaina], Kim Ki-ryeo opened his eyes wide as if he was hearing about it for the first time.

“No. I didn’t even know there was something like that here.”

The Japanese awakeners felt a chill down their spines in an instant.

Actually, before arriving at this airport.

The four S-class hunters from Japan had been speculating about the reason why that man entered the country through messengers.

[You came here to get angry because the compensation was insufficient, right? www]

[Iori. Don’t say you’re not the person involved so easily. We’re really serious.]

[Grass]

[Anyway, I sent a whopping amount of over 10 billion yen, but why!]

[If it was paid by one person, then I wouldn’t know. If three S-rankers got together and spent it, then honestly, it’s not that big of a deal. (LIИE character stamp with a sad expression)]

[shut up!]

After thinking it over, they began to suspect that perhaps Kim Ki-ryeo had come to disturb Imabari because he was angry about the insufficient compensation.

But with this kind of thinking as the underlying thought.

The other party responded that they had no interest in things like Tokyo’s highlight auction.

‘Damn it! So that was the right reason for entering the country?’

Japanese hunters soon became delusional.

‘If it was 10 billion yen, it would have been like scraping together all the cash I had… …!’

The one who was particularly shocked was the guild leader of Imabari.

In today’s society, verbal apologies have little meaning.

At least, they sold off their major equipment to raise funds in the form of a distribution of strategy funds to show their good faith.

But how can you carelessly complain about injustice if the other party is not satisfied with your sincerity?

‘Ugh.’

The other side is a top-tier swordsman who has given up on legendary items and taken epic items.

This means that it would be understandable if the other party were to set fire to this airport right now.

“Haha. Ha. Oh, you didn’t come to see the auction…?”

So, all of a sudden, Iori and Ito started to sweat profusely.

At this time.

The man in black who silenced the airport with his single body thought to himself.

‘You fools.’

The Alpha Uri self-image that exists within him expressed joy in bright colors.

If we were to compare it to a person, it would be like smiling inside.

Because the trillions fired by the opposing country were effective.

‘A fool is a good person… … .’

As you can see from this appearance, Kim Ki-ryeo no longer harbors any ill feelings.

Coming to Tokyo a day early was really for sightseeing purposes.

Of course, no matter how much money you receive, you can’t let your guard down when it comes to those who almost killed you.

‘Kang Chang-ho went across the river~ Esther was busy~’

It’s a bit burdensome to go into a dangerous space alone.

So, after much searching, a new bodyguard was brought in.

‘Besides, what sins did Jeong Ha-seong commit in his past life that prevents him from leaving the country as he pleases? Oh my, anyway, just visiting a neighboring country would cause a new political controversy…’

“uh?”

Drrrrrr.

Someone, dragging a carrier, approaches the place where they are talking.

Long, black hair like ebony.

The same PIXY earset seen from the side with the hair neatly slicked back.

And a suit.

A woman dressed in black appeared, who from a distance might look like a Korean ranker.

She soon greeted Iori with a pale complexion.

“Hello, Hunter Iori. I am a public official dispatched from the Hunter Association of the Republic of Korea who contacted you in advance.”

“Ah! You’re Mr. Wooyeon?”

“under…….”

Yes, that’s right.

On this trip, Seon Woo-yeon was the unfortunate victim.

***

A few minutes later.

Tokyo event venue.

“Wow, wow. Maybe it’s because the region is different, but there are so many items I’ve never heard of or seen before.”

A Korean man looks at the items displayed in the hall and exclaims in admiration.

But the expression on the woman walking next to me wasn’t very good.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.”

“yes!”

“Excuse me, but why on earth did you call me…….”

This was not the overseas travel that the parties had hoped for.

“Besides, when I was talking to the Japanese hunters earlier, I noticed that they kept getting nervous whenever they made eye contact with Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo. What was that?”

“ah.”

“What did you do when you went to Kagoshima the other day?”

Seonwooyeon asked her unwanted travel companion questions one after another.

Now both of them have turned off the translator and are conversing in Korean.

“Kagoshima? Oh, there was a lot going on. But no matter how much I think about it, it’s not something that can be talked about in the middle of Japan.”

“oh my god.”

“Let’s put that aside for now. I’ll answer the question you asked first. It’s for your safety.”

“Is it safe?”

“I asked you to come with me as a kind of insurance.”

Sigh.

As he said that, Gi-ryeon tilted his body in the middle of the conversation.

It was to whisper quietly so that others could not hear.

“Think about it. Korea is a faraway place for me, so wouldn’t a foreign country where you don’t even speak the language feel even more dangerous?”

Then, the eyes of the young Earthling became even more cloudy.

The fact that this guy is an alien is something I really don’t want to know. And when I almost forget, the other person reminds me of it like this.

‘What are you thinking, bringing up such a topic of conversation outside? Are you telling me to answer carelessly and then my head will explode?’

Seon Woo-yeon felt wronged.

If you think about it, that’s how Kang Chang-ho’s case ended.

No matter how I looked at it, that person didn’t seem to be a powerless person, but rather an incredibly strong S-class hunter.

Then, could it be that we suffered unnecessary trouble because we pitied a monster that didn’t need help?

‘I guess that’s just a pointless thought.’

It was around the time when my feelings were very complicated.

The other person continues speaking.

“But why do you look so upset since earlier? Is it because of work?”

“under…….”

“Even if the expenses are covered, it wouldn’t be a good idea if I had to write a detailed report on the plan.”

“well.”

“Mr. Seonwooyeon said he came to investigate this event. Well, since you happened to be dispatched, I was able to find a friend to take with me like this.”

Since the official didn’t respond, the man with three hundred eyes pushed his face in and spoke again.

“Right? Friend? We’re friends, right? You’ll help me a lot, right?”

“Yes……”

Seon Woo-yeon felt like crying.

Anyway, what crime did he commit that he had to come all the way to a foreign land and be persecuted?

“uh.”

That was the moment.

Kim Ki-ryeo, who was watching the event, suddenly stops walking.

“Hunter Seonwooyeon, by the way, don’t you want to eat ice cream right now?”

It was a random question.

Why did we suddenly start talking about snacks in an exhibition hall filled with magic tools?

“You’re an Awakened One who might write [Searcher] for me later. I’ll at least treat you well in advance. I’m living.”

ah.

Now that I look at it, there is a familiar-looking store at the end of Kim Ki-ryeo’s gaze.

Well, there’s no way such a big festival wouldn’t sell at least one food item.

‘There was a restaurant area here. Judging by the Chinese characters written, it’s probably the east exit.’

“Gyeryeo said, pointing to a sign decorated in pastel tones.

“By the way, that ice cream shop. I’ve seen it often in Korea, but there’s something exactly like it here?”

It was a new experience to hear him speak in such a curious tone.

It hasn’t fully hit me yet. At times like this, the other person definitely seemed like an alien.

“Ah, that’s… ‘Franchise Company’. It’s the same name everywhere in the world…”

It feels like something is being looked down upon.

I felt a strange sense of relief when Seonwooyeon spoke to me kindly, as if he was teaching a five-year-old child.

But the sense of incongruity wasn’t enough to be a problem.

“Well, anyway. I also wanted to eat something cold, so should I go in for a bit?”

“Mr. Seonwooyeon. Please order for me. I’ll pay with the card.”

“Ah, yes…….”

First of all, there’s ice cream right in front of you, so what’s there to complain about?

“Huh? I’m sure there’s a lot of money in my account. Why isn’t this payment being processed?”

“Is this a card that hasn’t been used for overseas merchant payments?”

“I’m sorry, but what does that mean?”

“I’ll just scratch it with my Shinka….”

Beep.

While an alien creature is hesitating behind you, holding a wallet.

Seonwooyeon inserted her card into the kiosk instead.

But this time, even though the card was fine, the transaction did not proceed.

“…! Sorry! Broken, Broken!”

Listening to the Japanese clerk explain with gestures, it seems that the machine’s recognition part has broken down due to frequent use.

‘PIXY’s translator is quite expensive. Why don’t they pay for it even to part-time workers like that?’

Well then, I guess I’ll have to pay in person.

Seonwooyeon put the translator back on and approached the clerk. After all, he had already seen his companion choose what he wanted to eat at the kiosk.

“Here, one raspberry sherbet and….”

The association staff spoke naturally, without thinking much about it.

“My dad is an alien.”

But it was only after the language came out that I realized something was strange.

Seonwooyeon flinches and reflexively looks back.

Then, what you see is a person in a suit looking at you with his mouth wide open as if he is surprised.

The present moment. The phrase ‘You too…?’ was expressed almost exclusively through facial expressions.

He suddenly revealed to the clerk that his father was an alien.

“Oh, huh? Oh. That’s it.”

Seon Woo-yeon looked visibly embarrassed when he saw this.

But the civil servants were about to make excuses while sweating profusely.

Kim Ki-ryeo’s face suddenly calmed down and he spoke calmly.

“Actually, I know. That’s the name of the ice cream they sell at this store.”

“…….”

“Ah! Clerk. Please give me the single regular size for mine, and a cone instead of a cup.”

Have you ever thought about beating an alien in your life?

Seon Woo-yeon looked at the S-class hunter who finished his order as if it was flowing water and thought back on his past life for a moment.

But since this side was overwhelmingly weak in terms of rank, there was no way they could take any action.

“…I would like a single regular cup, please.”

The chaotic snack delivery has finally come to an end.

The association staff and S-class hunters were killing time nearby while the store prepared the goods.

A moment later, Seonwooyeon asked in a tired voice.

“But Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. Did you buy a ticket to return on the last day because of the auction?”

“The last day?”

“I heard that the Tokyo Auction will open on the second day of the event. I expect that even after the trading is over, there will still be a lot of things to deal with.”

To this, Kim Ki-ryeo answers flatly.

“Ah, yes. I think I’ll be there by then.”

“I see you came to buy an artifact.”

“[Triana] is not the goal though.”

“yes.”

“Mr. Seonwooyeon. By the way, how did [Triaina] come to be put up for auction?”

“hmm?”

“It would be nice to have a water attribute skill, I thought that Chinese hunter would just be good at using it for the rest of his life.”

“yes?”

“The winner of the International Champions Tournament. Aren’t you Chinese? Oh, by any chance, this equipment isn’t second-hand, but just came from a new dungeon?”

But as we continued our conversation, a strange contradiction arose.

“What are you talking about… If it was a tournament held in China, Enzo would have won.”
