The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 287

Episode 287. Homeless (2)

If it’s the home of a high-income earner like Hunter, it’s usually going to be expensive.

There is also a bathtub where you can fully immerse yourself.

In the first place, if it is a building where a national hero resides, it would be no different from a fortress in terms of stability.

In this age of dungeon shock, an offer from the number one ranked player was truly a windfall.

So, in the end, he cannot overcome the temptation and ends up following the Earthlings.

“If we keep driving like this, the back seat will get wet. Should I go into the trunk?”

“haha.”

“Why are you laughing?”

“You weren’t joking, were you?”

By the time the two reached the parked car, there had been a minor miscommunication.

Anyway, the friction was only temporary.

***

< 1 hour later, Jeong Ha-seong's house >

Ring ring.

From somewhere, a clear voice resembling the tinkling sound of a lute resonates.

-It’s the first floor.

‘Oh.’

This is a high-rise apartment building in southeastern Seoul.

I was currently on my way to his home after receiving an offer from an alien on Earth, and it seemed like the term ‘different world’ was used to describe a place like this.

Because from the entrance, it was full of new machines that I had never seen before.

‘An elevator button that you press with your feet.’

Of course, humans have four limbs combined, so technology should develop in a way that allows us to utilize all of those limbs.

Ha-seong touched the sensor at the bottom of the hallway with the tip of his shoe and waited for something while maintaining a straight posture.

As a result, the apartment elevator arrived right in front of me. There was a lot to admire inside it too.

‘An Yoon-seung’s villa was on the lower floor, so I just went up the stairs, but looking at it this way, it’s definitely an expensive building!’

The original elevator had a broken close button that didn’t work, and there were always flyers on the wall selling something in large font… .

Also, shouldn’t the corner be a space that has the sweet scent of cheap air fresheners?

“hmm.”

But the place where Ha-seong lived was not like that at all.

The interior of the spacious elevator, decorated in gold, was filled with neat classical music and all systems were in perfect working order.

Ha-seong presses the button in front of him.

Within a few seconds, a luxurious daylight-colored light hovered over the buttons on a particular floor.

’23rd floor.’

You don’t really live on the top floor.

I felt the elevator start to move and turned my head to the side.

“Jeong Ha-seong.”

At the same time, he asked his fellow passengers a question.

“By the way, you lived in a place like this too.”

“yes?”

“You’re living in a building with many people. I thought you lived in a single-family home.”

“Well… apartments are comfortable, after all. But how did you come up with the prediction that I would live in a single-family home?”

What follows is a brief conversation as the elevator reaches its destination floor.

“If an S-class hunter lives in the same building as you, there’s a resident who immediately starts ordering you around. In that one-room apartment, there was a guy who knocked on my front door all of a sudden, saying that an E-class mob had appeared near the mart at the intersection down there.”

“Ah~”

Jeong Ha-seong responded as if he understood.

“I know what you mean. I think I had something like that happen in my old house.”

“yes?”

“But since moving here, nothing really……”

Oh my. There are no residents to bother the leaf cutter.

When I entered the apartment earlier, a young Awakened security guard greeted me politely at the entrance. If the security system is well-established, then I wonder if the residents won’t be swayed by petty monsters?

I nodded with a sense of futility.

But the reality that followed was completely different from the reasoning I had accepted.

“Because I’ve barely been home since I bought this apartment.”

“….”

“Right after the trade, I would often go out to dungeons at 3 in the morning or go on business trips to other regions. My family says that someone came by for a short while, but it seems like he’s left on his own now.”

Yeah, of course, if the landlord is always out, I guess I’ll have to give up.

I was speechless for a moment.

“By the way, Hunter Kim must have had a hard time. You had a neighbor who suddenly knocked on your door saying that an E-class monster had leaked out.”

As I took a deep breath as if I was chewing on a bitter persimmon, Jeong Ha-seong smiled and continued with the next sentence.

“But Hunter, given your personality, you would have firmly refused such an absurd thing. After all, it would be inefficient for an S-class to be dispatched just because of an E-class, as it could cause even bigger problems.”

But I still remained silent.

First of all, it is true that he refused his neighbor’s request as the national hero said. But the fundamental reason was completely different.

‘When I just defeated the inevitable evil, I didn’t have [Hydra] or [Sacred Tree Sapling], so I could have gotten hit by an E-rank if I had done it wrong… … .’

He turned his head with empty eyes.

Jeong Ha-seong seemed to sympathize with me when he saw me like that, saying, ‘As expected of a S-class hunter, you’ve always had a lot of hardships.’

“Sometimes I feel anew that I have something in common with someone as capable as Hunter Kim.”

And then.

-Ding.

The elevator finally arrived at its destination.

[It’s the twenty-third floor.]

The door opens.

As soon as I saw the hallway of the living space decorated with a nice carpet, I felt anticipation again.

‘The house of an awakened person who readily spends billions of won on private tutoring.’

The variable of a wizard from an alien planet was briefly mixed in, which was a problem. In fact, isn’t it common for high-paying professions like S-class hunters to live in splendid residences?

‘I guess the floor here is made of marble too. The cold temperature isn’t too bad for a deep-sea person.’

Tirik.

Jeong Ha-seong scans his fingerprint on the door lock.

“Come on in, make yourself at home.”

For your information, the water that had soaked my body had already been wiped off with a blood stain and dust towel that my industry colleague kept in his trunk.

So I went into the open door without a care.

“Anyway, I think it was a good idea to listen to my mother and set up the guest room. In the past, I rarely invited acquaintances anyway, so I wondered why I had to buy furniture….”

Finally, we arrived at the house.

I stopped at the corner, looking at the living room scenery.

“Why are you doing that?”

First of all, the basic framework is not bad.

The floor here, made of natural marble, is incomparable to the cracked and dusty floors of some cheap studio apartment.

Above all, Jeong Ha-seong’s house was as spacious as I had imagined.

But the problem is.

“Mr. Kim Hunter?”

The house is a little dirty… … .

A kid who earns so much money can’t possibly not have money to buy a trash can. Isn’t there a garbage bag wide open at the entrance to the living room?

Besides, the sofa was strewn with unfinished laundry.

The other person did not organize things like towels and simple t-shirts in a drawer, but kept them in the living room and used them whenever necessary.

furthermore.

When I swept my hand over the air purifier next to me.

An unseasonable winter frost formed on the mammal’s apricot fingertips.

In simple terms, it meant that it was full of dust.

“…….”

“…….”

I stared at the opponent with a blank expression on my face, without moving even a millimeter.

Of course, the other person’s expression didn’t change much, but it seemed like he started to break out in a cold sweat only after seeing my reaction.

Anyway, it’s surprising.

Even after recovering from mental exhaustion, he still tries to look as neat as possible at official events.

He was a so-called ‘ulzzang kid hunter’ who was extremely good at maintaining good posture even in his daily life, such as when he was just waiting for the elevator.

Contrary to its appearance, the house is a mess.

“Isn’t that how everyone lives?”

And so the hunters’ camp began with an unexpected truth being revealed.

***

Parasite Day 1.

“No, Hunter!”

The weather is clear today.

I looked out the window of my south-facing house at the dazzling summer sunlight.

“I told you to get some rest. Did you clean up in the meantime?”

Monthly rent 0 won.

Management fee: 0 won.

Moreover, since the landlord is rich, there are many top-of-the-line home appliances worth millions of won each.

At the same time, I got the chance to experience a machine that embodies the essence of mammalian technology. Is there any other paradise like this in the world?

“Wow, I used to hire a separate house cleaning service to take care of it. But I’ve just been neglecting it for a while because I’ve been so busy with work.”

“You have a cleaning machine at home, but why do you still hire someone to do it for you?”

“I’m sorry. I’ll handle it right away in the future.”

Since we have the eyes of an Earthling, of course we too will not be able to do strange things like research for a while.

Still, I was satisfied with this.

I ignored the landlord’s horrified remarks as I walked to the back and looked at the cleaned kitchen table, and started organizing my schedule.

‘Let’s see.’

Kang Chang-ho sent a text message belatedly.

They said that since the compensation for the collapsed studio apartment had to be handled under another person’s name, it would be delayed.

‘I became a single-set gentleman in an instant.’

Ah, you shouldn’t overuse ‘Clean’ in front of uncivilized mammals…

So I decided to go out and get a new suit.

To be exact, I went to the community center as Ha-seong told me to, made a new ID for the lost one, used the temporary ID they gave me there to get a new check card from the bank, and then used the money from there to go to a cell phone store… … .

Oh my god, why is there so much to do?

‘f*ck.’

But, well, there’s nothing I can do.

Anyway, I won’t have to deal with that contractor anymore. I left the apartment, grateful for my small success.

.

.

.

And after a whole 8 hours.

When I finally returned to my luxury apartment.

“Mr. Hunter Kim……”

It looks like Jeong Ha-seong also left work early today.

The kind mammalian alien spoke worriedly to the blond family member who was coming into the house, and I had no words to respond.

“Did you happen to pass through a dungeon on your way here? Otherwise, why are you so late?”

I wonder what kind of reaction I’ll get if I answer here that I’m an alien and often show weakness in Earth-style capital transactions.

‘It took some time because I had to read and understand all the tiny contracts handed out by bank tellers and cell phone salespeople… … .’

Anyway, I don’t know how the customers next to me managed to sign that long document.

Even if you have already memorized the format of the contract, it would be a big problem if the transaction party cleverly changed the sentences.

“phew.”

I went into the guest room holding the aluminum phone I had managed to find.

It’s a shame to lose another trace of the body’s owner.

The new electronic devices I got were so good that they made me forget my shallow and pointless desires. Above all, the internet was very fast.

‘Could it be that Earthlings are gods…?’

It was around this time that we started worshipping mammalian technology again.

“hmm.”

The landlord said that he wouldn’t mind if we just stayed like this, and that we could choose the house carefully.

Since I had to leave this place eventually, even for smooth research, I had to find out about the real estate transaction law right away.

So I turned on the Internet to do a search.

【Today’s Economic Headlines】

[World Artifact Expo held in Tokyo, Japan]

But, as is the case with many mammals, when I actually accessed the portal site, my eyes were drawn to topics that were different from my original purpose.

‘Artifact Fair?’

On the second day of the event, there will be an auction of epic high-grade items… …?

I was skimming through the article the reporter had written. Then, a photo in the middle of the article caught my eye.

“uh.”

Since it’s a digital photo, I’m not sure about the texture, so I’m a bit hesitant.

Isn’t that ‘that’ item too?

“Hmm.”

But even if you covet them like this in a corner of the room, it will be difficult to obtain any of the artifacts exhibited at the exhibition.

‘He’s already far inferior to the normal S-class hunters. Recently, he even bought a core to prepare for that bastard Kang Chang-ho.’

Of course, I have money in my bank account that would make any average person envious, but the price of a proper epic is in the hundreds of billions.

‘I guess I’ll have to buy some new equipment.’

Anyway, nothing will change even if people look into it.

As I was thinking about it, I re-downloaded the banking app that I had lost to check my bank account balance.

And after setting up the security code and connecting the deposit/withdrawal account of my main bank to my phone, the number that appeared on the screen was… … .

[Savings deposit: 103,228,709,652 won]

[July 18, 17:00]

[Deposit 100,000,000,000 won – IMABARI Corporation]

“?”

Oh. What is this?
