The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 244

Episode 244. Part 1 of Destruction (2)

Is your only residence a 5-pyeong (approximately 16 square meter) rental apartment that is drafty and aging?

Ha-seong pauses for a moment to think after hearing his S-class colleague’s words.

After some time had passed, the conversation resumed.

“So when you don’t have work, you always rest here… …? In this room?”

Hearing that, Kiri seemed to be asking such an obvious question.

He pointed to the blue blanket spread out nearby with an indifferent expression.

Above it you can see a typical smartphone with a white charging cord plugged in.

A lifestyle that is truly revealed in a concise manner.

Of course, there are probably more than a few people in Korea who spend their days lying in bed playing with their cell phones.

‘An S-class hunter?’

Where do you sell the tutoring fees I gave you and live like this?

That question naturally tickled my throat.

But Ha-seong barely swallows it by pushing down the hot green tea.

Even though he was young, he was practically my teacher. I could naturally sense his presence, and I also felt that he was inherently difficult.

‘It’s not polite to ask so many questions about someone’s private life.’

Ha-seong soon naturally organized the topic of conversation.

“Then I will send the item to this address.”

And at this time.

Kirien got up from her seat once again and started looking for some extra snacks to give to the guests.

Inside the cupboard, a blue glowing object was discovered that didn’t quite match the old studio apartment.

‘I think I know why Jeong Ha-seong’s magical power suddenly became unstable.’

It was an infinite power core.

-Sparkle… … .

The indomitable device that had enabled them to deal with both petty thieves and menacing escapees was now losing its power.

I made a slight error in the calculation. The ambiguous energy depletion rate that could last until fall if written thinly.

‘Still, I guess I should move soon.’

Contrary to what Earthlings worry about all the time, the aliens themselves were very willing to move into a palace-like home.

Click.

After finishing his delusions about where to live, he finds a suitable snack and brings it to the tray. However, the Awakened Garion members hastily waved their hands and said.

“I’m grateful for the tea alone, but do you need to provide refreshments as well… .”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“We’re sorry for disturbing your rest, but we’ll just drink this and leave right away.”

I’m not particularly introverted, but when there are guests, I have to refrain from saying or doing anything that could make them seem like aliens, so it doesn’t matter if they hurry up and leave.

He nodded vaguely to their words and sat cross-legged.

But after a while, Garion’s guild leader takes a closer look and rarely brings up a topic.

“Mr. Kim Hunter.”

Although I am planning to move soon.

That is, after all, an undisclosed plan within the nervous system.

In any case, what outsiders can observe is the reality that Korea’s fourth S-class hunter is living in a place that does not match his income.

As I looked at this narrow room, which seemed like it could be taken in with a field of view of about 200 degrees horizontally, I suddenly became curious.

“By the way, Hunter, what do you do to pass the time when you’re not working?”

“huh?”

“Hobby… hobby. I just asked about your hobby… … .”

Is this too personal?

Ha-seong lived with self-censorship in his daily life, even when it wasn’t necessarily late at night.

So I was worried that what I just said might have offended the other person.

Without even a moment’s hesitation, without any worries, he revealed his interests in a very refreshing voice…

“hobby?”

In his previous life, he was a great magician who had mastered a single subject to the highest level.

An astronaut currently living in the vast interstellar space, side by side with unfamiliar mammals.

Considering these characteristics, the leisure activities that a blond man would engage in usually converged to one.

Obtaining information.

And the concepts that were always used to convey knowledge were voice and print, whether in his hometown or here.

“Maybe that one?”

Whoosh.

He turned his head and looked somewhere.

There were several books piled at the end of his chin.

An alien who gradually increased his use of educational books after realizing that there were many inaccurate articles on the Internet.

Although he did not yet know that book borrowing records were recorded separately in the library database, he was more cautious than average and put a lot of effort into selecting books to borrow from public places.

In simple terms, this means avoiding topics that seem too alien.

This is information that even the Earth’s indigenous people are often curious about, so it’s okay, right?

“Reading… is your hobby?”

“Well, that’s true. In fact, most people read for learning purposes rather than for play, so I’m not sure if I should really consider it a hobby.”

If you keep telling useless lies even in everyday small talk, you will reach a point where you can no longer control what you say.

Therefore, I tried to maintain an honest attitude as much as possible so as not to make up lies that I would not remember.

“… Then I have one more question. What do you usually do with your cell phone?”

“Well, it’s just reading digital newspapers or Y-Tube… .”

“Ah, Y-Tube! When I was a student, I always had it next to me while eating. It’s definitely convenient and nice because old variety shows are edited and uploaded there.”

“Uh… Well. Sorry, I don’t watch variety shows or dramas, so I don’t know about that.”

“hmm?”

“I use YouTube to watch live news, and sometimes I watch interviews with acquaintances out of curiosity, but I don’t usually watch entertainment videos like that.”

But as the conversation progresses, the hero’s expression hardens rapidly.

“Are you using the video streaming app only to check the news?”

Was it a slip of the tongue by Earth standards?

This time, the Ki-ryeo side started to worry about petty things.

After a while, Jeong Ha-seong asked with a serious expression if there was another reason for that.

But right there.

I am actually a semi-transparent intelligent life form from a giant ocean planet with a year of 640 days. Because of this, it is difficult for me to determine the truth of the information you are telling me. Therefore, it is dangerous to carelessly access creative works created for the sake of interest. Therefore, for now, I will only access relatively trustworthy media such as news and books.

… isn’t it impossible to answer that question?

‘It’s impossible.’

He tried to brush the situation off with a shrug.

But even at this moment, his expression remained expressionless, which was the neutral value for emotional expression, so the atmosphere became stagnant in an instant.

‘Then even if famous animal videos like that float around through an algorithm, Mr. Kim Hunter doesn’t touch them… ‘

We left to investigate [Imitation City] at 4 AM.

Before the friction with Association Chairman Koh Byung-do, the presumed investigative agent who had been carrying out secret missions while hiding his rank does nothing more than read law books and watch the news in his free time?

There are various symbols in the world.

So, it is clear that there are people who feel comfortable in the act of learning.

It is wrong to blindly exclude others from their own relaxation methods because they are different from your own.

But why is that?

Even though all these sentences came to mind vividly, the thought that ‘we can’t leave it like this’ kept flowing through Ha-seong’s mind.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

In a way, this was an anxiety that stemmed from his growing up process.

In fact, Jeong Ha-seong was a famous genius in his neighborhood who was able to enter veterinary school on his own without receiving much private education, and the secret was his unwavering sincerity.

He would often sit at his desk on his own accord because he had nothing else to focus on besides studying, and most adults would see his behavior and say, “His parents must be so lucky.”

Our children were so jealous that if they could only do half of that, they would have no worries in life.

It was a strange thing.

For some reason, his mother scolded the picture-perfect model student quite often.

-Son, wake up!

-Mom, I’m reading a book right now… … .

-You said you finished your homework and reviewing this week? Ha Sung-ah, the things you see at your age are things that last a lifetime. It would be a shame for someone this pretty to live their entire life holding on to paper, right?

I forced my child, who used to wrestle with books every weekend, to get some sun.

It’s not like I went to any fancy places since my family wasn’t wealthy.

In spring, I enjoy looking at flowers, in summer, I enjoy looking at water, and in fall, I pick fallen leaves from the trees on the back mountain and make bookmarks with them until winter.

-Listen to your mom. If you just sit at your desk like that, you’ll get a bone disease!

During my teenage years, I couldn’t understand my family because I wondered why mothers interfered with their children’s studies so much. Sometimes, I found their nagging very annoying and wished they would stop.

But only at this moment does Ha-seong understand his mother’s heart.

That’s why I suddenly brought this up.

“Wouldn’t it be better to go out and see the sights?”

There was nothing I could do. First of all, I realized from the conversation just now that Kim Ki-ryeo was having a very difficult daily life.

As far as he knew, the only thing that would help a pathological diehard was an outing like this.

“For example, the sea!”

When I was deeply saddened by the shock of losing all my friends to Dungeon Shock.

The special measure that the guardian took to help Jeong Ha-seong, who couldn’t sleep every night, was a trip to Busan.

Because of that, there was a huge incident where he met an unprecedented monster called the Kraken and became the first S-class hunter in the history of the Republic of Korea, but that’s about it.

“ocean?”

For Jeong Ha-seong, that experience was remembered as a very positive one.

The tranquil scene of waiting for the sunrise beyond Yunseul while blowing on each other’s hands in the cold dawn breeze.

In a way, the national hero survived the hardships by supporting himself with the memories of that day, but in the midst of all this, I found someone in the industry who controlled his desires to a degree that was incomprehensible.

“Ah, that. That… … .”

What on earth made me say something like that?

The black-haired pyromancer swallowed in surprise at his own actions, his eyes wide open. However, the reaction of the other person that came out immediately after was even more shocking.

“I wonder?”

The blond man suddenly started packing his bags with great enthusiasm.

***

Three hours later, after a short tea time.

West Sea.

“Crunch crunch.”

“oh…….”

What the heck? It feels like the background changed in the blink of an eye… … .

Swish swish.

The number one ranked hunter, Jeong Ha-seong, raised his arm and lightly rubbed his eyes. But the scenery he saw did not change.

In front of me, Kim Ki-ryeo was admiring the seagull. And just now, the shrimp-flavored snack in his hand was snatched away by that monotone creature.

-Crook~!

widely.

Long birds running away with factory-made flour fritters in their mouths.

Kim Ki-ryeo looked up at the seagull flying in a sloppy manner that was not befitting of a S-class hunter, and at this time, Jeong Ha-seong thought to himself.

‘Why on earth did you refuse and go to the refreshing beach? No, more than that, why do people usually decide to go to Incheon so quickly?’

How could he know?

In fact, the soul of an aquatic creature is trapped in the body of a certain blond man, and that is why Kim Ki-ryeo has been personally interested in the Earth’s oceans since before.

But sadly, luck wasn’t always on his side.

At Gampo Port, where he first attempted to see the sea, he was caught trying to steal a corpse, drawing all the attention. He then hurriedly returned home due to ranking issues.

Need I say more about the ending of the aquarium tour, where I wanted to observe the fish as a second choice?

ⓐ Production of magic tools that are worth recommending to the owner of the improvement spirit to cancel the contract.

ⓑ Planning a way to awaken Kim Ki-ryeo’s potential.

It’s not a very relaxed situation, as there are still two research topics to be achieved in the future, but since we’re on the subject, it’s okay to take a quick look at the ocean, which has been a long-cherished wish.

‘I wonder if he was grateful that I listened to his opinion. Jeong Ha-seong even drove him here himself.’

Most of the planet is surrounded by deep oceans. In the past, we rarely had a chance to see the outer surface that meets the atmosphere.

I put aside my interest in the creatures I was trying to catch and focused on observing the ocean again.

But perhaps because I still consider myself to be a marine creature, seeing so much water suddenly gave me the urge to get some.

‘I didn’t bring a change of clothes… and there are eyes watching me. I’m a bit hesitant to use drying-related life magic.’

I look back and forth between the sea and my clothes, reacting ambiguously.

And at this moment, the problematic eye standing nearby cautiously began to talk.

“I… but this just occurred to me, Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo… … .”
