The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 131

Episode 131. Party

A little later.

I went out according to Esther’s text to meet at the main intersection.

But as soon as the Matap Guild Leader saw my face at the intersection, he said this.

“Let’s go buy some spring clothes!”

Last winter, as you know, I used the suit I received from the other person quite a bit.

She said it was cute, but in reality, that was all I had in my closet, so whenever I went out, I was forced to wear only the clothes she gave me.

Strangely enough, this action seemed to have been quite a delight to the Earthlings, and Esther kept emphasizing this fact and was willing to buy them new clothes.

“I’m so grateful that Mr. Kiryo wrote the gift so well! This time, I’m going to a custom-made suit store.”

White shirt. Blue vest. Other things like that.

The clothes my partner bought me were still outrageously expensive, but now I just let it go, thinking that it was the same for me.

‘I understand now that I’ve become an S-class hunter. This kind of thing would be like chewing gum to Esther.’

But not feeling burdened and being indifferent to kindness are two separate issues.

If you don’t want to leave any regrets, you should at least show a minimum of good faith.

“I’m sorry to just accept this… … . Can I buy you a meal as a way to show my appreciation?”

I don’t know what she likes, but Esther must eat food since she’s an Earthling, right?

I did my own calculations and made an offer to her.

“Food?!”

But the reaction is quite intense.

As soon as I mentioned buying him food, the other person’s voice went up by two octaves.

It seems that Esther was very hungry today.

***

Next we arrived at a nearby restaurant.

I left the choice of restaurant and menu to the other person’s taste. Esther chose a sky view restaurant in a tall building.

‘Huh?’

But even though it’s lunchtime, there are no customers.

As I looked around, Esther, who was next to me, explained.

“Oh, don’t be surprised. I paid the deposit in advance to have a cozy meal with Mr. Kiryo.”

“yes?”

“I urgently contacted an acquaintance, and luckily he said there were no reservations today.”

charter.

So, does that mean I have to pay for all those seats?

I felt a momentary fear, but fortunately, what I feared did not happen.

Esther heads to the window seat and asks to pay for food for two people only.

He just likes to eat quietly, so don’t worry about it. That’s what he added.

‘That’s fortunate.’

Well, I guess we’ve finally come to a fancy restaurant. Today, let’s enjoy the food culture of this planet.

Esther and I ordered the same course and sat down.

Not long after, the appetizers arrived.

Colorful food in small bowls. What’s on the bottom? … shrimp.

‘How do you eat it?’

I looked at the food I was seeing for the first time with interest.

And then, the soft voice of my companion began to flow in from the other side.

“Mr. Kiryeo, by the way, do you remember the promise we made before?”

That is probably the promise being talked about here.

“Okay. I’ll help you deal with Suye Hwi. In return, can I leave this as a debt?”

Actually, the help I received last time wasn’t completely free.

‘Esther asked me to do something for her later in return for helping her with her work.’

I nodded, remembering our past dealings.

Then Esther smiled and said,

“I’m glad you didn’t forget. Now that we’re on the subject… … Actually, today I have something I want to ask of you, Kiryeo.”

Rustle.

A sorcerer taking something out of his bag.

She pushed the object she had found across the table, and upon closer inspection, saw that it was a thick piece of paper with a gold border.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. By any chance-.”

I told him I would do whatever I could, but honestly, I’m worried about what he’ll say.

“Can you go somewhere with me next week?”

A few seconds later.

Esther took out the topic she had prepared and said that she would pay the price for helping to deal with the Nachal Temple.

“To be exact, it’s a party hosted by a certain guild.”

Talk. Esther points to the paper on the table and adds an explanation.

“Gate Star, the largest hunter guild in the United States, is celebrating its 5th anniversary this month.”

Gate star?

Upon listening closely, it seemed like the guild was holding a large-scale event to celebrate the company’s lucky day.

Moreover, this year, unusually, they invited S-class hunters from each country.

The top-level hunters are few in number, so it is difficult for them to see each other, so they gather together for a short time and interact with each other…

“There is no harm in establishing connections with foreign S-classes.”

Esther said she personally did not think Gate Star’s proposal was a bad idea.

“So I’m going to accept this invitation. But the problem is… … .”

Sneak.

She leaned over and looked troubled.

“I haven’t found an escort yet.”

“Escort?”

“Now that you’ve heard the explanation, you probably don’t want to go to a place like this alone, right?”

That’s true for sure. If hunters from all over the world were to gather, there would be only foreigners at the party.

“So the bottom line is, I was going to ask Mr. Kiryeo to be my partner.”

I accepted Esther’s request without much hesitation.

I was worried about what to do if I received a request that would reveal my true abilities. If I could pay off my debt by participating in one banquet like this, then that would be great for me.

‘I can also take this opportunity to see foreign countries.’

Huh? The more I think about it, the more there are only good things, right?

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

“Oh my god, really?”

So I willingly agreed to accompany Gate Star to its founding anniversary event.

Then the other person continues the conversation with a happy face. When is the expected departure date? What is the dress code? … … .

***

‘4.’

It is usually treated as an unlucky number.

In hospitals, they don’t even use the 4th floor sign because it reminds people of death.

But maybe because I was awakened to the curse series, somehow, such symbols of bad luck often came to me as good luck.

‘The fourth.’

Kim Ki-ryeo. It’s really fortunate that someone like that has appeared in Korea’s S-class.

In fact, the Korean Tower Guild Leader’s opinion of Kim Ki-ryeo was quite high.

It’s only natural. Last January, thanks to him killing all the Sirens, he even celebrated New Year’s Day for the first time in years.

[(Breaking News) Kim Ki-ryeo, S-class. Together with Kang Chang-ho and Ahn Yoon-seung, they set out to conquer Mermaid Pass… … .]

‘What the heck, why am I working with a guy like Kang Chang-ho, a convict!’

Of course, when I saw the news about the Mermaid Pass incident, I almost felt disappointed for a moment… … .

Fortunately, the negative feelings quickly dissipated.

Towards the end of winter.

Because Kim Ki-ryeo came to the top floor of the Korean Tower and said this.

-Can you help me?

-I want to deal with the Awakened One who created [Unavoidable Malice].

That day.

Esther felt emotions she would never feel again when she saw the S-class bowing its head to her.

-Please.

It’s also the first time I figured out the secret of the missing Imoogi.

The identity of the person with the skill of transparency. The person behind the temple of Nachal.

If you think about it, that S-class hunter already knew a lot about awakening crimes.

In addition, upon belated investigation, it was discovered that there was a rumor going around the association that Kim Ki-ryeo had frozen and incapacitated the Boss Steelers…

‘Hmm.’

Esther knows that the association president’s official announcement is false.

However, looking at the situation so far, I suddenly had a suspicion that Kiria had been carrying out a real behind-the-scenes judgment, separate from the false announcement.

– It can’t be solved with public power. In any case, the fastest way to remove the brainwashing is to use your abilities to destroy Su Ye-hui’s consciousness.

To that extent, Kim Ki-ryeo was not hesitant in punishing criminals.

‘I never thought that hunter would personally take part in something like that… … .’

The mindset of stopping evildoers even if it means getting blood on your hands if necessary.

Doesn’t this sound too similar to the leader of some guild?

Moreover, thinking back to the conversation they had in the abandoned factory, Esther now felt a vague thirst.

-I’m saying that Su-ye-hui will become a wreck and die, but her reaction is so boring.

-Then how should I react here?

A stern expression.

Those empty eyes looking down at Su-ye-hui crawling on the floor.

The death of a cultist who had ruined hundreds of families was met with a sharp response.

He consistently has an indifferent attitude towards criminals, as if even the smallest emotion is a waste.

Esther felt that such a sight was ideal, and that was why she had this impulse.

‘really.’

If only I could have someone like that in my grasp.

But this type of wish is unlikely to come true.

Not to mention recruiting Matap, the hunter there was so difficult that he even refused Jeong Ha-seong’s request to join his team.

‘That kind of person formed a strategy team with Kang Chang-ho. Why would that be? Do their skills have a good combination?’

Anyway, it’s not easy.

Esther wiped her mouth with a napkin and rolled her eyes.

At this very moment, a man with three hundred eyes was sitting across from me.

He’s said before that he wants to look good for himself, but honestly, now that I think about it, I’m not sure if he really meant it.

‘He would often avoid dinner appointments and even tried to disappear for three months… … .’

Esther decided to be satisfied with maintaining a normal level of friendship with fellow S-class members.

Unlike some fire-attribute worker bees, that guy at least replies to texts.

Moreover, thanks to the constant contact I have had, I can bring up this request.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, would you mind going somewhere with me next week?”

Esther stopped eating and got to the point. Actually, the spring clothes were just an excuse, and she came out today to make this suggestion.

“To be exact, it’s a party hosted by a certain guild.”

She looked down at the invitation from America.

If you make friends with the new S-class members at this party, it will be useful in many ways.

Of course, they have brains too, so they won’t be used carelessly… … .

How one benefits from this type of connection depends on one’s own abilities, and Esther found this social activity to be well worth it.

“I plan to accept this invitation.”

however.

There are still some things that are holding me back from readily accepting the invitation from Gate Star.

The reason why S-class status is threatening is because they have few opponents.

However, when awakened people of the same level gather in one space, their value fades.

‘If an accident happens in the midst of an S-class hunter I’ve never met before… … Will I be able to handle it on my own?’

Esther, who surprisingly has a cautious personality.

So she is open to all possibilities and makes every effort.

He tried to prevent various threats by taking out insurance to accompany other S-class soldiers from Korea.

‘The Gate Star Guild sent only one invitation to each country, citing the safety of each country as a priority. It would be rare for an S-class companion like me to come looking for you.’

In that sense, Kim Ki-ryeo is truly an excellent choice.

I already had a reason to invite him, and I could freely use my curse skills in front of him without any secondary damage.

‘Ahem, actually this is a bit of a blow to my pride.’

Esther was distracted for a moment, but quickly returned to the subject. In any case, there was one thing she wanted.

“So the bottom line is, I wanted to ask Mr. Kiryeo to be my partner.”

But, I never would have thought that a problem that I had been struggling with for a long time could be solved so easily.

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

Huh?

Esther was startled by the man’s response. As soon as the man’s words left her mouth, she accepted the request.

An answer without hesitation.

Oh my god, doesn’t he feel uncomfortable going to a monster den full of S-class monsters?

‘wow!’

As soon as she received the approval, a smile spread across Esther’s face.

Ah, it was good that I maintained a good relationship with Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. With him by my side, I have nothing to worry about anymore.

That person is the one who killed the Imoogi.

‘According to eyewitness accounts, he was defeated with my cursed sword. So Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo must be strong in close combat, right?’

A proven predator!

Esther was greatly relieved that the fourth S-rank had followed her.

I really felt like I had won a thousand battles.
