Episode 336. The New Princess
But no one can thwart the aliens’ plans, and time passes relentlessly.

Before we knew it, the sun had risen high in the sky.

＇I’m just now starting to care, but there’s always a lot of trash on the street. Is this a problem with the people who throw away their waste, or is it a problem with the management class who don’t place the right amount of trash cans? -1
＇I found a phenomenon where no one around me paid attention to a child walking alone on the street. As a reference, I stopped the child who was trying to enter the road without permission and rang the alarm. -1
——————=
It’s been quite some time since we entered the beginning of autumn on the calendar, but the days are still warm enough to make you sweat on clear days.
In such a peaceful time, a man was walking around the park.
But he didn’t listen to music with wireless earphones in his ears or walk down the street holding the dog’s leash.
A notebook that you can easily buy for less than 2,500 won at an office supply store.
Likewise, the only thing this person had in his possession was a pencil that seemed to have been hastily airlifted from somewhere.
“… … .”
The man continued walking through the park near the hospital in casual attire.
He kept writing something down with his writing instruments in his hands.
“Huh? Hey, over there. The person under the tree over there. Is that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo?”
“Hey. I must have seen it wrong. Why is Kim Ki-ryeo suddenly appearing in our neighborhood… ?”
“No. No matter how much I look at it, it’s really true. You, take a look over there too.”
“Huh? What is this? Really?”
“Wait here. You don’t seem to be busy right now. I’ll go ahead and talk to you.”
But his appearance was a little bit unusual.
Golden hair that doesn’t fade over time.
And a lump of dull, apricot-colored leather that felt like it would crackle when touched was this character’s unique outer gear.
So, citizens walking around the same park could easily recognize him.
The fact that Kim Ki-ryeo, a top-class hunter in Korea, is here.
“Excuse me. Could you… …”
“… … .”
“Wow! It really is Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo!”
When they encountered the real-life version of the highest-level awakened being, they were as happy as if they had won the lottery.
“Wow. Hello, Hunter! I just saw on the news that you were recovering from an injury from another dungeon… … . Is this the hospital you go to? Awesome! I just happened to come here because my friend was hospitalized with appendicitis!”
“… … .”
“Excuse me, sir. Excuse me. If it’s okay, could I get just one autograph? Well, me too. My girlfriend, really. She’s a huge fan of Hunter… … .”
However, the alien was becoming more and more upset because of this situation.
Take one step and talk to me.
How can you leisurely observe people when you can take a picture just by walking two steps?
“-sine?”
Shudder.
It was around the time when the blonde hunter let out a short sound.
The average person stiffened without realizing it.
‘Oh, what is it? I came here because I was sure it was comfortable, unlike other Awakened people. But when I got closer, the impression I got was different than I thought… . . ‘
Anyone would get nervous if they saw a person with a murderous gaze looking down at them, which is easily visible on a wanted poster.
However, in fact, the situation that followed was not as bad as people might have guessed.
“I’m not the type of person who signs their name anywhere. I can’t do that. So instead, tell me the recipient’s name.”
Because Kim Ki-ryeo was a person with a fairly moderate attitude.
A situation that does not match the ominous impression soon passes by.
“Ah! Thank you so much.”
It would be annoying to have your privacy invaded while walking down the street, but you are so kind. Is Korea’s fourth S-class really as great a person as rumored?
“Thank you. Have a nice day!”
If that had been the case, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Kim Ki-ryeo nodded briefly and greeted the Korean who was walking away, carefully holding the few-character document he had written.
And the moment the other person disappears from sight.
I immediately raised my hand and finished writing these sentences in my notebook.
——————=
‘These new X’s have no concept of privacy -1
——————=
In this case, it was to the point where it would have been better to just get angry in front of him.
As you can see from the reactions of the general public who just passed by, the details of the last Beast incident have not been spread to the public.
The ordinary people who entered the park were unable to learn that the leader of the fake beasts was Enzo Ciano and that Kim Ki-ryeo was carried away coughing up blood due to the temporary media control, so they easily approached the S-class hunter.
However, Kim Ki-ryeo reacted very sensitively to this phenomenon.
Three consecutive lung-bursting failures.
If something like that happens, honestly, as a researcher (even if I don’t usually have a good personality), I would start to get angry and wonder why things went so wrong.
‘The criteria for deducting points is being lowered.’
It’s losing its objectivity more and more.

This was a phenomenon that even Kim Ki-ryeo himself was aware of.
But it’s a situation where you wonder if it’s really worth it to put in that much effort for the sake of Earthlings, as you decide not to get swayed by momentary irritation.
‘But I’m still trying my best not to deviate from fairness.’
He took out his cell phone.
‘I usually use the media to get accurate information, but the news usually reports sensational and negative events, so it was not helpful in this case.’
While looking at the screen with your eyes.
Kim Ki-ryeo also used his newly awakened senses to look around.
‘By the way, the crowd around here is growing bigger and bigger… … .’
It seems that there was a rumor that a S-class hunter appeared in the park near the hospital.
“hmm.”
Well then, our walk in the park is over. Maybe it’s time to move on.
After making his decision, Kim Ki-ryeo went out into the city, carrying a notebook.
It’s just a single hidden magical power.
However, many people were skeptical simply because Kim Ki-ryeo wasn’t wearing a suit.
So, surprisingly, he was able to blend in well with the crowd and record the progress.
“… … .”
But as I continued to do this, negative numbers piled up in my notebook.
‘It’s already -23 points.’
The stranger hidden inside Kim Ki-ryeo’s skin finally noticed the problem throughout the process.
‘If this trend continues, no matter how slowly we grade, the result is obvious.’
The fact that no one else but me is reluctant to deal with this phenomenon of increasing negative numbers.
A person who opened fire because he didn’t like the world.
A thief who robbed his acquaintances’ houses because he was blinded by money.
Moreover, there are examples of people who seem kind to others, but are stingy with their time when it comes to less important things in life, such as dogs, birds, bees, or other environmental issues.
From the outside perspective of the Alpha Uranians, it felt like the Earth had already missed its chance to determine its own direction.
So Kim Ki-ryeo wanted to help.
However, as we were moving towards the target score of 100, strangely enough, the grading criteria began to become more lenient again.
Even the moment I saw a merchant grabbing an old man right in front of my eyes and forcibly soliciting him… … .
“Excuse me. This guy is obviously hard of hearing and can’t even hear the explanation of the trade agreement. Let’s stop with this guy.”
“Ugh! I’m sorry.”
I hesitated to add a negative number.
‘Isn’t this the loss of objectivity I was worried about?’
The reason was simple.
Gu Seo-hyung, Jeong Ha-seong, and Ahn Yoon-seung.
If they found out about his plan, it was obvious that the reaction would not be friendly.
‘For reference, if we categorize Esther strictly, she would be closer to failing, so we will leave her out of the discussion… ‘
This is just a hypothetical scenario, but what would happen if Ahn Yoon-seung’s family didn’t meet the criteria?
Can we get rid of them?
‘If you’re going to draw your sword, you should at least cut the radish. This is completely biased and could end up ruining things.’
Surprisingly, Kim Ki-ryeo thought that the answer to the sentence he had just thought of was ‘no’.
So soon, he started to look unpleasant.
They were already in a situation where they couldn’t even use magic that could destroy the country due to the limitations inherent in primitive people. Now, they can’t even do what they want because they have to take care of the hearts of a few mammals.
Just suck your thumb and watch this world full of selfishness.
-Tub.
It was about the time when the aliens were worried.
“Oh my… … . Thank you for helping me. You young man are so kind.”
“Where were you going?”
“I was just going to the market in front anyway. Now that you’re here, don’t worry about that. Just eat this. This.”
An elderly woman who had escaped the solicitation with his help suddenly took something out with her withered hands.
[Goguryeo Baekje Silla Red Ginseng Candy]
It was a simple, chunky piece of candy.
Looking at this gift of gratitude, Kim Ki-ryeo suddenly realized that he did not want to be swayed by emotions even more.
Even if you end up doing something that people on Earth would hate.
‘If I take up arms and purge the irredeemable scum, won’t the good guys’ chances of being scammed or something decrease?’
However, if a S-class hunter that you knew suddenly starts massacring your own people, it would be a considerable psychological shock.
‘In the end, either way, it’s a minus.’
The alien creature lamented the sight of me staggering about for personal reasons.
However, he did not stop what he was doing.
Again, this was the fourth time a ruptured lung had been found in a body search conducted just a few hours ago.
‘In exchange for recovering my organs that were shattered to the point of almost the entire country, I’m still just a helpless person today. I guess I’ll have to postpone the discharge process until tomorrow… ‘
Korea is too big and interesting a world to just lie in bed and kill time.
So Kim Ki-ryeo walked around aimlessly outside until lunchtime, when the sky began to take on a hint of orange.
“hmm?”
But the moment I slowly decided to go back to the hospital.
‘what.’
An unpleasant sensation settled within the Archmage’s range of perception.
For reference, the aliens at this time were unaware of the existence of taxi-calling apps and had gone out onto the road to hail a car themselves.
But, as I was wandering around in the middle of an unfamiliar city, I suddenly encountered a familiar magic. Naturally, I became curious.
‘It’s Seonwooyeon.’
It’s still mid-afternoon, and the sun is still high in the sky. Why is Seonwooyeon’s magic felt in a completely different building than the association?
‘aha.’
Kim Ki-ryeo instinctively turned on his cell phone to check the time.
The answer came right away.
[04:23]
[Saturday]
[Battery – 80%]
The other person didn’t come to work over the weekend.
‘I wonder who wouldn’t be a hunter. I’ve completely sold out my sense of the day.’
In that case, it is highly likely that Seon Woo-yeon’s current location is her residence.
‘He also sometimes finds people with his [Search] skill. If I do something like this, we’ll both be at odds, right?’
I felt a slight interest.
If I think about it, I’ve been to the homes of Kang Chang-ho, Jeong Ha-seong, Ahn Yun-seung, etc., and their living arrangements were all different.
However, since I had no information at all about what kind of house a common citizen with the surname Seonwoo lived in, I wanted to check it out for a moment.
‘If I feel the magic, it’s definitely this direction… … .’
If what I saw with my naked eye was just an ordinary stepped apartment, I was planning to just turn back since there was nothing more to see anyway.
But the alien soon discovers that all his expectations were wrong.
‘uh?’
A playground of bright colors that hit the memories engraved in my brain and made my cold body flinch.
And the building’s characteristic low floor count.
[Tomorrow Daycare Center]
Kim Ki-ryeo was lost in thought, fiddling with one of his eyebrows.
‘Oh. I’m a little confused because something like this suddenly came rushing in. How old were the Earth’s youths…?
At first glance, I knew what this place was from the sign, but why was Seonwooyeon in that building?
