The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 143

Episode 143. Kagoshima Dragon Raid (6)

It was a 60 seconds full of lies.

As soon as you step out of the gate, the air feels refreshing.

-Click click click click click click!

But I think I need to keep acting a little longer.

“It came out!”

“Is the gate clear?”

“Kim Ki-ryeo!”

Because there were already reporters gathered at the exit.

***

Moritake Ito.

Former securities firm employee, current S-class hunter.

He thought about the experience he had never had in his life: being tied up and thrown on the ground.

It really is true that life never goes as planned.

After the bonds were released, he hurriedly chased after Kim Ki-ryeo, but there were already onlookers gathered at the exit.

Now that I’m in this corner, I don’t even feel like doing anything.

“Ugh.”

Foreign correspondents are flocking to this place, so does that mean that now all that’s left is for his crimes to be exposed one by one worldwide?

“Mr. Moritake!”

“Please say something!”

“Oh my god, Japan really has an S-rank dungeon… … .”

But how did this happen?

Contrary to concerns, Kim Ki-ryeo did not open his mouth in front of people.

He just stared intently at the Japanese who followed him, then disappeared into the crowd.

A few seconds later, the other party seemed to occasionally answer the reporters’ questions in Korean, but even those were all short words. In other words, Kim Ki-ryeo did not mention the incident that occurred inside the dungeon.

‘uh……?’

Are we really going to let this go on like this?

Are you really covering up your own mistakes?

Ito thought so for a moment, but it was just his mistake.

It was after much calculation that he decided to keep quiet – to be precise, he fled because he could not estimate the level of power that the Imabari Guild had in his own country. If they were so great that they could control the media, then there would be no point in reporting them – and by the time the Korean’s plane was on the runway.

Because the true price for all the mistakes is starting to come.

“I’m quitting that guild.”

Inside the hospital room, surrounded by white cloth.

After some time, the Japanese hunter who had passed out regains consciousness.

However, as soon as the Awakened One of the Wind Attributes recovered his health, he conveyed this message to those gathered at the sickbed.

Even if they put aside the fact that they hurt themselves, they made a choice that was not right for a human being to make.

“Iori… … .”

“This is something that can’t be resolved with just ‘I’m sorry.’ I believe Moritake-kun knows that.”

“I just… … .”

“After studying the Hawaiian precedents so much, you dare to be stingy with the payment of the Legendary.”

The patient, sitting on the edge of the bed, looks with contempt at his former colleagues.

“How can you now come and cut down Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo’s help to your own taste? If the leader of that dungeon had been running wild, we would have been pronounced dead in front of the doctor by now!”

Just as it was Nuckelrabbi who killed the most S-class hunters in the US, it was obvious that the boss of the dungeon they went through would have mercilessly killed the Japanese hunters if it hadn’t been for someone’s binding magic.

“Let alone a record of 0 deaths, half of the people here would have died by now… …!”

The person who was nursing the injured person next to him nodded in agreement with Iori’s words.

Short dark blue hair.

This was another S-class from Japan that possessed the ability to awaken electric attributes.

“At the time, I was badly injured, so I had no choice but to pretend to follow Ito’s orders. But I also want to resign from the guild.”

“what?”

“Honestly, I don’t mind if you hit a Korean, but you even laid a hand on Iori?”

At this mention, the expressions on the faces of the hunters gathered in the sickroom turn strange.

“If this continues, he might harm his colleagues later on to monopolize the good items. How can I trust someone like that?”

“… .”

“I’m going to be independent now. If you don’t let me go, I’m even thinking about emigrating.”

“… .”

“… If you have a mouth, say something. Ito. Don’t you have any feelings even after hearing these words from me?”

[Imabari] Guild.

When we first established this group, we thought that we should join forces with S-class members, unlike other countries.

Even though we live in an age of individualism, there are certainly values in this world that will not fade.

We’ve been trying to collaborate for such a long time.

“under…….”

The peace that had developed over time, with teamwork that could be considered a second family, was shattered in an instant.

Iori and the lightning wizard’s sharp gazes lock.

But soon their eyes showed a look of surprise.

Before long, the silent guild leader knelt on the hospital floor.

“Ito?”

“Moritake… … .”

Their representatives were born with strong self-esteem.

Perhaps because he had worked in the cutthroat world of finance, he seemed to have a stronger desire to win than others.

But then that man suddenly gets down on his knees, bows his head humiliatingly, and says this.

“I’m truly sorry.”

I really didn’t intend for this to happen to me.

Looking back, I felt like I was possessed by a ghost at the time.

Blinded by the opportunity of a lifetime, he even tried to betray the only benefactor who offered him a helping hand.

But is the reason for such behavior only because of greed?

Ito didn’t think so.

In a way, this is a crime that stems from feelings that have been pent up for years.

“If I had this, I thought I could become equal to Ha Sung… .”

Inferiority complex. Inferiority complex. Anyway, that damn inferiority complex.

“So that was the cause?”

Moritake Ito was originally a talent who was quite promising worldwide.

Despite being born with abnormally high magical powers, he was classified as an A-class for a while because there was no separate class for him internationally.

Since the ranks were quickly adjusted according to the new criteria, he effectively became S-rank before anyone else.

At the time of his awakening, it was rare for a country to possess an S-class hunter, so Ito naturally had high expectations from the people.

He is the pride of East Asia and the son of the sun.

In this day and age of dungeon shock, they were treated like the Emperor’s family.

“I told you over and over again not to worry about hunters from other countries. You are you!”

But if I had known the future would be like this, I would have just been born as a really average B-class person.

Jeong Ha-seong.

Because my life changed completely after that young man appeared.

[[Urgent] The first S-rank in the neighboring country is also confirmed to be Fire type! ! ! ]

Same properties.

Same grade.

And both of them are the first S-class of their respective countries.

Jeong Ha-seong coincidentally had a lot in common with Ito, but there was one characteristic that would not change.

[Is the machine broken?]

[Woww that hunter’s awakening number has a lot of zeros]

That young man with a neat impression was a natural talent who would never be able to catch up even if he died and came back to life.

In life, the pain of falling from a high place is greater than that of wandering from a low place.

Moritake Ito has been suffering from unimaginable comparisons since the appearance of Jeong Ha-seong.

In the beginning, the domestic media promoted Ito and belittled Ha Sung as if they were protecting their own family… … .

[“Jung Ha-seong, who took down the Baekin Tower alone, is a great achievement” … Sweeping 3 dungeons including A-class]

Even after a certain gate was cleared, the situation became quiet.

[Jung Ha-seong can easily clear 3 dungeons a day, but what is Ito doing? Take back my collapsed building. You incompetent! ( ｀Д´ )]

Even among brothers, constant comparisons make you sick, and now that the whole world is weighing him against the young man, Ito feels like he’s going to explode.

But in the midst of all this, the treasure in question appeared.

‘I was really crazy. I swore to protect people, citizens, but how could I do that with just a sword… … .’

The media’s malicious reporting became more active around the beginning of last year, when a Korean ranker accidentally acquired the Legendary.

Since the dragon named Jeong Ha-seong had seized the legendary Yeouiju, the common people of Japan were saying that they would not be able to catch up to him even after a hundred days, and such contempt was growing on all sides.

However, contrary to expectations that there would be a tremendous increase in military power, Ha Sung has not yet discovered the tool’s abilities.

‘I thought that if I could succeed in interpreting Legendary one step ahead at a time like this, I would finally be able to defeat him for the first time.’

Ito deeply regretted his actions.

But this was hardly accepted by others.

“That’s funny. If the Hunter hadn’t been so strong, you wouldn’t have had a chance to repent.”

moment.

The other Japanese hunters who had taken advantage of the guild leader began to question how fellow Japanese could be so obsessed with each other, and how he thought it was okay for such a dangerous item to be handed over to the neighboring country.

“shut up!”

But the wind magician on the sickbed scolded them, even crumpling their faces.

“You still don’t understand the situation? You’ve just messed with a Hunter who can neutralize three S-ranked units in one go!”

The following statement raised a fearful question as to whether Kim Ki-ryeo would continue to keep quiet about this matter.

They flinched at Iori’s loud voice and thought.

Well, come to think of it, isn’t this a huge weakness for the entire Imabari Guild?

Perhaps it was simply a tool that didn’t fit his aptitude. Or perhaps he was acknowledging his contribution to conquering the S-class gate.

Kim Ki-ryeo generously gave up his legendaries and even spared their lives, but he never once said that he would keep this secret.

“Do you understand now? Now, Imabari is in a position where it’s not strange for him to be threatened at any time. Even if it happened inside the dungeon, if he makes a statement in front of [Justitia]… …!”

The young-looking hunter clutched the blanket so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged out.

“I wish I could reveal everything you’ve done right now in front of everyone and claim I’m innocent!”

“Hey, Iori.”

“But you know why I can’t do that? Because if I do, we’ll all get ripped off by the management!”

“ah…….”

“Ha, the anti-hunter sentiment is growing every year, so what are you all doing at a time like this?”

Murder among the awakened!

Iori poured out everything he wanted to say and put his hand on his head.

Even in terms of maintaining the image of the awakened within Japan, it has become impossible to admit guilt carelessly.

But at this time, Ito, who had been kneeling until now, spoke in a serious tone.

“…first.”

Eyes inevitably turned to the guild leader’s voice.

“Don’t worry about the second witness. I mean, Kang Chang-ho. He said this to my translator before he left the dungeon.”

“What did you say?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this too. Kim Ki-ryeo said that Hunter was the first to show such generosity, so why would an elder have to strike him down?”

“… … .”

“… There was absolutely no atmosphere to be the first to reveal anything.”

Kang Chang-ho forgave us.

But the biggest issue in this situation is the blond. What is he going to do?

“And as for Kim Ki-ryeo… No matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but bow down and hope for his mercy.”

“Mr. Ito.”

“Of course, I alone won’t be enough. That’s why I’m going to ask for everyone’s help for the future… … .”

A short-haired guild member sneered at Ito’s words.

“Does that mean I have to follow Moritake-kun’s orders again?”

However, the guild members’ expressions quickly changed at the guild leader’s subsequent words.

“Yes. It would be hard for you to trust a leader who gave you wrong orders twice. And on top of that, you have also revealed your ugly greed.”

“No, I just… … .”

“I don’t think this will restore the trust that has been broken, but as a sign of repentance, I will give up my authority over the Legendary.”

This is a bombshell statement.

“The ownership of the items will be divided equally among you, the raiders. Please cooperate with the apple in exchange for this.”

“So you’re saying it’s a public good?”

“And among the things that came out earlier, the concern that such a greedy person might harm his comrades later is answered with [Knight’s Oath].”

“Are you serious?”

“I promise that I will never betray you again. So please, just quit the guild… … .”

The expression on the face of the Awakened One who handles lightning changes at Ito’s remark. However, Iori, who is in the sickbed, remains the same.

“Even if you say that, I cannot forgive the guild leader.”

Perhaps, it could be said that he was more consistently confused than anyone else in this place.

“However, depending on your attitude towards Kim Ki-ryeo, the level of your relationship from now on may change.”

“… … !”

“I’m tired, so tell me that first. How do you plan to apologize to him in the future?”
