I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 52

Piglets (3)

I don’t say things that don’t exist.

Even if you are forced to lie, you will not commit the miracle of creating something from nothing.

At first glance, you may think that they are making noises that don’t exist, but this is only a case of hearing it at a glance. If you listen closely, think about it, and think about it, you will realize that it is all because I am worried. Since it is not a groundless statement, no one can refute it.

Of course.

Because I am right.

Think about it.

Have you ever said anything to Hong Seok-young or Park Seo-hyun that I didn’t mean to you?

no.

Anyway, I was from Ark, and Park Seo-hyun has the talent to become an archmage, so she becomes an archmage.

Of course, since this is communication between people, minor misunderstandings can occur.

But that’s their fault for guessing without asking me, not mine.

Anyway, no.

So, even if Oh Hyun-wook hears what I say and misunderstands, it is Oh Hyun-wook’s fault. Because I’m just telling you the facts as they are.

“okay… “Now that I see it, it looks quite similar to you.”

Since it is you, you have no choice but to resemble it.

Look. You don’t lie, right?

“What I wanted to do was similar.”

It’s natural because it’s you.

If you call this a lie, you are denying Oh Hyun-wook’s life. I don’t do anything that cruel.

Oh Hyun-wook opened his mouth and then closed it. The croaking and crying suddenly stopped. Instead, as he looked at me with his eyes wide open, I felt a sense of bewilderment as to what kind of person he was talking to me about.

Ah, there is a reason for all of this. You don’t know my big picture.

“And I was having the same problem as you right now.”

What Hyunwook Oh is saying right now.

The fate of that little pig.

If we make a rough comparison, it is only now that we can understand Oh Hyun-wook a little more.

In the end, the man was unable to escape his past memories.

This is why a mental evaluation is required when obtaining a license. Or you can get it every time you renew. Since there is no such thing, the people who should quit their work and rest right away are walking around pretending to be hunters.

By the time I tried to do something, it was already past time to do anything. Even though he had me go to counseling, he wasn’t very enthusiastic about that part.

Wouldn’t it be too late at this point? What did Hong Seok-young do when he created the management office? .

Let’s think about that later.

Now is the time to finally coax this little pig.

“Honestly, it was funny to me.”

The guy who was drinking and crawling around on all fours was donating a lot of money to the Retired Hunter Support Association every year. He gave generous compensation to the bereaved families at the guild level.

In addition, Oh Hyun-wook also actively promoted a campaign to eliminate illegal activities committed within dungeons. If I remember correctly, I once did some kind of promotional ambassador.

… The reason Oh Hyun-wook was stabbed was actually because he helped those who were embezzling guild funds.

Isn’t it funny? Even after being treated like that, Oh Hyun-wook did not file a complaint against them.

What did they say?

Did he say it was his fault for being a guild master and not knowing that the kids were having a hard time?

Crazy bastard. As long as you keep your mouth open.

“But he still continued.”

“… What?”

“Helping kids who have suffered like me.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I asked you once. “Why are you doing that?”

“… … .”

“Even if it’s not you, there is someone who will take care of me, and even though I know for sure that I won’t receive anything in return. But I’m not a saint enough to not care about that.”

“… … .”

“Why do you keep doing this?”

When I asked that question, the pig opened its eyes, which were buried in its flesh. Those eyes look exactly like the piglet’s face right now.

Oh Hyun-wook was dumbfounded.

‘You know that our manager who asks that question has a bad personality, right?’

‘Who says what?’

‘… ‘It’s funny that you ask the same question as Ji’s father.’

‘yes?’

‘no. So, you’re saying you couldn’t sleep because you were curious about that?’

‘I never said that.’

‘I’m so curious that my five organs and six parts are twisted?’

‘It’s never happened like that.’

‘Then I have no choice but to answer.’

The piglet opened its mouth, reeking of alcohol.

“They said they don’t want to fall to the same level.”

“Same… … .”

“He said he wasn’t a very moral person, and to be honest, he would do worse things in the pursuit of efficiency.”

‘Then why didn’t you do it?’

But Oh Hyun-wook didn’t do that.

‘It’s simple.’

Who was the person that Oh Hyun-wook said he did not want to be on the same level as?

okay. I finally found out.

‘I had to prove that I was a better person.’

This is what Oh Hyun-wook learned over twenty years.

Can a little pig achieve the same realization?

“But if you do that, you end up on the same level. “He said he had to prove that wasn’t the case.”

Oh Hyun-wook’s face is still wet. But the look in his eyes came back to life. Like Park Seo-hyun.

No, Park Seo-hyun was a little more mesmerized. That kid wasn’t full of fighting spirit like him.

“Why don’t you prove it too?”

“I am… .”

“You came all this way to become a hunter.”

“… … .”

“Don’t give up.”

“… Give up, yo.”

It seems like this is enough, but… Let’s make sure.

Currently, there are insufficient laws regarding hunters, guilds, and dungeon raids. Even if there was one, it could not function properly, and complaints between hunters were almost never made.

It would have been barely possible for Hong Seok-young to get Oh Hyun-wook or Seo Han-seong out. Like Park Seo-hyun and Yoo Ji-eun, Oh Hyun-wook’s past records have disappeared, but it is obvious.

“It’s your life, so you have to decide… . Yes, former guild master. “Did he go to jail?”

“… … no.”

Wow.

Have you ground your teeth now? I didn’t hear it wrong, right?

“Then it gets even more annoying.”

I spoke calmly, pretending not to hear.

“Show it to him. “You can be more successful without those methods.”

* * *

Oh Hyun-wook got out of the car and returned with a strange look on his face. He didn’t say anything else, but there was no bullshit about him not being qualified to be a hunter.

maybe… I will be resurrected as a piglet without sprouts.

When I get off work, my workday is over for today.

“Good job, Teacher Wu.”

However, he was caught by Hong Seok-young and Kim Chae-min.

“I’m leaving work.”

“Yeah, we should get off work too.”

Hong Seok-young nodded.

“Now that the strategy is over successfully, it’s time for a company dinner.”

“… … .”

It was as if I had no right to veto.

I was taken to a shabby pub in a rural neighborhood that I had already become a regular at.

It was annoying, but I also had something to say to Hong Seok-young, so I calmly explained what happened in the dungeon.

“So that’s how it happened.”

When my story was over, Hong Seok-young clicked his tongue and then ate the chicken.

… As for Park Seo-hyun, even if you thought it was a change in her style that was complicated on the inside, for Oh Hyun-wook, isn’t it because of the trauma of living as a bait? Why is the response so lukewarm?

“Do you know how surprised I was when I heard that the attack was a failure? “If you can’t clear the dungeon you’ve narrowed down, you shouldn’t make him a hunter.”

“… … .”

“What’s wrong with your expression?”

“Are you going to leave student Oh Hyun-wook as is?”

“hmm… . You are doing well, what should you do? “It’s just a scrape for no reason.”

“Shouldn’t they at least get some counseling?”

“consulting?”

Hong Seok-young sucked a chicken leg. That habit is the same.

“You are doing it. Should I give you a promotion? As a counselor? “They say schools have things like that these days.”

“Just give me a raise and tell me.”

“This place makes good chicken.”

“… … .”

But this time, I’m serious too. Chaemin Kim was trying to say something next to me, but I saw him look at my face and keep his mouth shut.

“It’s not just Oh Hyun-wook. Isn’t Seo Han-seong also from Bait? The kids who were isolated in Myeongdong must have been under a lot of stress. “I think it would be a good idea to get counseling at least once to figure out if it’s okay.”

“hmm… .”

Seokyoung Hong put down the bone he had finished eating.

“Shall I be honest?”

I feel uneasy like this.

“consulting? Psychotherapy? “Okay, I’m not denying that either.”

“then… .”

“But what are the odds that a psychiatrist is an awakened person?”

“yes?”

It’s a random story. What does it matter?

“It won’t be there. So, if an incumbent hunter starts going on a rampage during counseling, what are the odds that an awakened psychiatrist will be able to subdue him?”

“… … .”

“that… “A few years ago.”

Kim Chae-min noticed and quietly intervened.

“You may not know this, Professor Wu, but a doctor was actually murdered by Hunter who had a panic attack during a consultation. “Hunter didn’t do it intentionally, but the problem got bigger.”

“What actually made the problem bigger was what happened after that.”

Hong Seok-young rummaged through the chicken and picked up the second chicken leg.

“There was one who thought the doctor’s words were nagging and outright murdered him.”

“… … .”

“Even if it wasn’t to that extreme, there were many cases where doctors were injured due to seizures or panic attacks. It’s just not known. “At this point, you know what I mean, right?”

“… Did the doctors refuse treatment?”

“Rather than rejection… “I wanted a clear safety device.”

“Wearing a magic control device like the one you wore.”

“The hunters must have rejected it.”

“okay. Even if you wear a magic control device, it doesn’t mean accidents won’t happen… . But you can’t tie Hunter up somewhere. Accidents continued to occur frequently.”

“now… Uh, I guess consultation is only possible through voice calls? I can’t even see your face. “Hunter has something to visit.”

“… … .”

I did… Was it like that?

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment. Something like this happened?

What were the countless consultations I received? No, wait. When I said I was awakened… . Was it possible because it was before awakening?

“Of course, there is no way that proper treatment could be possible with that. Naturally, the number of hunters visiting doctors also decreased.”

“But these are children, aren’t they?”

“You have a license. “Because everyone is D-rank or higher.”

“… … .”

No, but academy students often receive counseling. There were always counselors at the academy… .

Although he was an awakened person. I also received a hunter license.

shit. Is that why he just laughed every time I said something about my mental state?

“There are doctors with a sense of duty. There are people who want to help. However, most of the seizures of traumatized hunters take a violent form. “There are some things that cannot be solved with a sense of duty alone.”

I don’t know what to say because this is a completely unexpected situation.

Hong Seok-young continued to eat the chicken and continued talking.

“So it must be said that there is no need for expert help.”

“… … .”

“If it had really been a shock that I couldn’t get over, I wouldn’t have followed me to become a hunter from the beginning. So, Teacher Wu, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Hong Seok-young spoke calmly.

After hearing the reason, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand what kind of thinking Hong Seok-young went through to come to this conclusion.

but.

“… “But they’re still kids.”

“Why would I put you there?”

“… … .”

“Me too, whatever. It’s not that I don’t understand Mr. Wu’s feelings, but… . Ah, that’s right.”

Hong Seok-young took a gulp of beer, then pursed his mouth and let out an exclamation as if he remembered something.

“That thing that happens on the ark. Spirit, there.”

“National New Mind Spiritual Association… “Isn’t it time to memorize it?”

“Didn’t they trick you there with child psychology and all that?”

“You seduced me, that’s a bit of a choice of words.”

“Listen carefully to what’s going on. “The quality of the lectures may be okay.”

“no… .”

“The kids have gotten used to you… . Would you like to take on the position of counselor?”

Seokyoung Hong cut me off and spoke.

“No matter how hard the school says it’s going to run like crazy, that’s not true.”

“Seeing what you did to Hyunwook earlier, I thought you would do well.”

I frowned.

“Then why not raise your salary?”

“hmm. Are you going to have a beer? president! “Here are three more beers!”

He’s like a damn old man.
