The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 222

Episode 222. Misinterpretation (2)

“Did you get teased?”

Now that I think about it, I think Kim Ki-ryeo himself said that there were four or five new copies of the chicken restaurant Man to Man…

The droopy-eyed awakener takes a moment to choose what to say.

But no matter how hard I tried to put words together, my mind would turn blank whenever my eyes met the chicken character print on the front.

It’s terrible.

But what was fortunate was that today, for the first time in a while, the Korea Tower Guild Leader had an entirely empty afternoon.

‘Let’s contact my third brother right away when we go back.’

Esther decided that after the conversation, she should definitely place an order for some new men’s clothing.

If I get the chance, I’ll do something about that crazy man-to-man in front of me.

I wish there was a way to commit arson naturally… … .

***

-Bubble, bubble, bubble… … . Click.

It must have been a few minutes after the chaotic atmosphere had calmed down.

A woman in flashy fashion is sitting in a small one-room apartment measuring about 5 pyeong.

It was rare for guests to be invited here, so this was an unusual picture in many ways.

‘The sound of boiling water.’

By the way.

I didn’t notice it earlier because I was so surprised by the landlord’s behavior. But when I went inside, I saw that there were more than a few things to be concerned about.

Floral wallpaper that is now out of style.

Old, cheap blankets that replace a bed.

A sky blue fan spinning in the corner.

Strangely enough, considering that I live alone, the house is spotlessly clean, without a speck of dust… … .

Esther turned her head and looked at the scenery here.

‘It’s narrow.’

A shabby room that even he, who is on the short side, could reach with just a few steps.

But, wouldn’t this space feel even more stuffy for a man of his stature?

“… … .”

Esther, who visited her partner’s house for the first time, is overcome with unfamiliar emotions.

Because I never dreamed that the hunter would live like this.

An S-class awakened player who can easily earn hundreds of millions in one attack.

You’re saying that you hang your clothes on cheap hangers that you don’t even know where they were bought, let alone in a closet?

‘Why on earth is that hunter in a house like this?’

Esther raises questions similar to those the other visitors had.

But how would she know the truth?

The blond man is actually an alien who took over the residence of his original owner.

As I lived here, I ended up using expensive magic in this room, and now I am continuing to live in a studio apartment because I feel like it was a waste of money…

A background situation that would be difficult for an ordinary Earthling to infer.

All Esther could do was wonder.

“You can sit comfortably.”

But at that time.

A small tray is placed in front of Esther, who is lost in thought.

The landlord wearing a white shirt (for reference, the previous top was changed because the guest was sick of it) approached me.

I unfolded the folding table I usually used for meals and placed a teacup on it.

It looks shabby, but surprisingly the treatment is not bad.

A certain awakened person born in Hadong-gun thought that Kim Ki-ryeo had probably finished drinking his green tea, so he recently sent him some new, good tea leaves.

‘Thanks to you, the boiled water doesn’t rot and overflow.’

There is a problem that the cupboard is starting to be taken over by tea leaves because the consumption rate is slower than the rate at which the other person gives it to you…

“Is it green tea?”

“Yes. Do you hate it?”

“No way! Rather, I can’t eat it because it’s not there.”

anyway.

Esther looked curiously at the 3,000 won water glass in Kiria’s house, then took a sip of the green tea.

Horok.

And by the time she had swallowed her second sip of liquid.

The man across from me who brought cookies for the tea speaks in a dry, polite voice.

“By the way, why is this gift given to you all of a sudden?”

Esther answers it.

“It’s nothing, I just thought maybe.”

“yes?”

“Our Kiryeo-ssi is having some issues with her health right now, right? She didn’t tell us where she was attacking and why she’s like that.”

“… .”

“As far as I know, vomiting blood is a common symptom of the Dungeon Curse. I bought this because I thought it might help. It’s a first-class European holy water.”

Seongsu.

A potion that is particularly effective against curses among status-abnormality removal items.

Esther readily gave away [Tier 1 Holy Water], which was only found in certain areas of Europe and was highly prized, as a simple favor.

But the person who actually received it didn’t look good.

Well, this body cannot be affected by Earth’s curse at all.

“thank you.”

Apart from expressing gratitude, he made shrewd calculations.

I don’t know what this is, but if the guild leader of the Korean Tower came to personally hand it over, it must be an expensive item.

But selling this potion right away was a risky choice.

There are people in this world who don’t care how the gifts they give are used, but there are also cases where the opposite is true.

‘If it’s a rare item with not many items for sale, it will be quickly revealed when reselling it. The auction house uses real-name sellers.’

After a moment of hesitation, Kiryun soon raised her head.

“I really appreciate what you gave me, but unfortunately… it’s something I don’t need.”

“yes?”

“Holy water doesn’t work on me either.”

It was a remark made after deciding that it would be better to just reveal the truth in good conscience rather than incur unnecessary resentment.

Sigh.

Esther, who was trying to please him, returned the potion she had brought in a bottle.

But the other party rejected it.

“Really? Well, then just think of it as a light tonic and drink it when you feel tired. Even if you return it, I won’t be using the holy water anyway.”

Well, a curse-type magician is naturally highly resistant to related spells. What good would an item that dispels mental spells do to her?

Esther continued, saying that since she had already brought the items, she should use them without any burden.

After that, I took another sip of green tea and filled my stomach with cookies from a discount store that the landlord gave me as a snack.

Misread, misread.

Esther had been most supportive of the hypothesis that Kiria was under the dungeon’s curse, but when even this was proven wrong, she had complicated feelings.

To be honest, every time Kiria deflects my curse.

It can also be expressed as absolute.

She had thought that maybe her technique wasn’t working because she was already under the influence of something very strong.

‘If you use conflicting curse skills at the same time, the one with the lower rank will be ignored.’

In the end, everything is a mystery.

“Anyway, Mr. Kiryeo. How are you feeling these days?”

“are you okay.”

Esther munched on the cookies in a half-hearted manner.

As I did that, my hands got dirty with cookie crumbs, so I just wiped my index finger and thumb with some toilet paper that was nearby.

Esther, who had wiped off the powder, opened a nearby trash can to throw away the used tissues.

“evil!”

But at that moment, a scream suddenly burst out.

“Huh? What’s going on… … .”

Esther checked inside the trash can and shrugged.

There was a mess of red liquid scattered there, obviously from the animal’s intestines.

The tissue paper was filled with blood.

Blood that hasn’t even oxidized.

Blood of a bright color, as if the person had just vomited it out.

“ah.”

Anyway, the timing is great.

In fact, just a few hours ago, Kim Ki-ryeo had once again experienced the side effects of [Sacred Tree Sapling].

Because of the ability of the luminous magic tool, I ended up vomiting blood for a long time in front of the sewer.

This phenomenon continued until this morning, and just a moment ago, I suddenly coughed up blood in the living room.

So this guy showed up, holding onto the doorknob like a wet mouse.

After about a day of glowing, the item’s protective effect also ends.

Today, I was planning to take another bath in coral blood to reinforce my weakened defenses.

“… This is strange.”

But, unfortunately, the sorcerer happened to visit with a gift right on the same time as the light cycle.

“When I asked you how you were feeling these days, I think you just said you were fine.”

He lightly pressed the bridge of his nose, chose his words, and soon made an excuse.

“It only happens sometimes when I’m not feeling well. It doesn’t happen normally, so don’t worry.”

“Kim Ki-ryeo, the hunter.”

Esther seemed to want to hear a more detailed explanation, but as she was relying on the power of the alien coral, she was in a situation where she couldn’t reveal the truth.

“Would you like another cup of green tea?”

The only alternative was to remain silent.

Fortunately, the guild leader of the Korean Tower was not so clueless that he could not even notice the other person’s blatant beating around the bush.

“No, that’s fine. I’ll just drink this and leave.”

But she soon shut her mouth when she realized that the landlord was trying to avoid talking about the injury.

Questions kept popping up in my head.

What was most puzzling was Kim Ki-ryeo’s attitude.

‘An injury that can’t be cured even with holy water or the best recovery potion.’

Because if I had been in the same situation, I don’t think I would have been able to be so detached.

The blood of the sacred tree will not take your life if you deal with it well.

Since Kim Ki-ryeo knew this fact for sure, he was able to overlook the temporary discomfort of the flash.

But to an Earthling, the other person’s calmness feels extremely impressive.

The status of an S-class Awakened is originally one that is not subject to any threat.

Even in this age of dungeon shock, if a being that could enjoy some semblance of safety were to contract an incurable disease, most would naturally fall into a panic.

It’s obvious that they would call all the names and try to solve the problem somehow.

however.

However, Kim Ki-ryeo remained silent and indifferent.

The fourth S-class hunter in Korea looked like a boring person to an outsider.

And the nature of the hunter, like the deep abyss, suddenly came to Esther one day as a feeling of anxiety.

“… … .”

I’ve tried everything I can think of to deal with it, so I wonder if it’s okay for it to come out so dry.

‘Am I worrying too much?’

Esther suddenly thought.

What should you do if a hunter named Kim Ki-ryeo suddenly disappears one day?

It’s just a far-fetched story with no real basis, but for some reason I felt that way.

It’s also like living a quiet freelance life without having enemies in the guild.

It’s like living in a cramped room with old stuff.

The person is excessively clean.

Esther immediately frowned, feeling an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

“Mr. Kiryeo.”

Kim Ki-ryeo got up from his seat and was putting the holy water she had given him away in the cupboard, but when my name was called, he turned his head slightly and looked this way.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

“yes?”

“I know it’s pointless to bring things like potions, but I still feel uneasy because the calculations don’t add up.”

Huruk.

Esther drank the rest of her green tea and continued the conversation.

“Honestly, even if there was no debt to Chairman Ko, as a fellow Awakened person, I would have cooperated anyway if he had just said so.”

“ah.”

“So, from my perspective, I haven’t repaid any of the debt I owed that F-class gate yet.”

“okay.”

“If you have any requests, please let me know anytime.”

You’re still worrying about that debt.

He put one hand to his mouth and thought for a moment.

Thanks to the monthly tuition money from the number one ranking, I’ve been able to earn some money, and I’ve also recently solved my respiratory problems.

Now there is only one thing the Archmage wants.

“hmm…….”

Even without that, I had been worrying about that one thing for days and couldn’t sleep.

“then.”

Snap.

“Maybe a cadaver… … or a cemetery or something… … .”

However, the blonde awakener is unable to form a proper sentence and soon closes his mouth.

I was momentarily tempted to do this because I thought that the head of a large guild with proven competence could handle something like this.

After thinking about it again, I think asking for the corpse of an Awakened One is too dangerous.

“No, no. Just forget about what happened just now.”

“yes?”

“I forgot to mention this. Honestly, I don’t have anything to ask you right now.”

He lifted the hand that was resting his chin and covered his mouth completely. After that, a rather long silence flowed in the one-room apartment.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Funeral-related remarks made by a sick guest with health problems.

By the way, I won’t bother explaining what kind of misunderstandings Esther had when she heard those keywords.
