Episode 301. Holiday (2)
“When you meet later, ask Kiryeo to be your friend.”
“…….”
Also urging marriage.
I’m not interfering with your love life.
I was just worried that my strange younger sibling had no friends, so I suggested that he broaden his horizons.
“Brother……”
The purple-haired woman listened quietly to what the other person was saying, then quickly furrowed her eyebrows.
And he spoke softly.
“I hit men too……”
This was a warning to never talk nonsense again if you want to stay sane.
Anyway, my youngest sibling is so responsive. How can we get through this without getting into trouble as siblings?
“Hey. I always say this, but you shouldn’t beat up just anyone.”
There is frequent violence.
The ending is long.
The inside is festering as much as it can.
And yet, in one corner, my kind younger brother always tilts the scales towards the weak and the ordinary.
A family that I am grateful for just coming into this world.
“Manager Seo Yo-han. If you have time to joke around, why don’t you go to work instead?”
“Today is my day off too.”
Seo Yo-han spent precious time talking with his youngest brother like that.
-Jiying.
【Korea Constitutional Court☎】
“What? The association is calling at this hour…?”
These days are the gate era.
So, their boring daily life quickly disappeared.
***
A little later.
“I was trying to take a nap!”
An S-class hunter who flew in with his eyebrows fluttering, using a mobile artifact called [White Bird].
“Now, if I just took a nap, it would be perfect.”
It’s been a while since I had a day off, how can something like this happen again?
15 minutes ago from now.
News of a major incident in Seoul’s representative business district, where the headquarters of various large corporations are located, was delivered to Esther’s cell phone.
So when I asked what the big deal was, they said it was at best a warning about a break in the A-class Blue Gate.
“her.”
But contrary to what she thought, it was quite serious.
A giant insect living at the gate suddenly moves at an excessive speed.
Moreover, they have multiplied to such an enormous number that no one can enter, let alone attack.
This is a strange phenomenon that is difficult to explain with human science.
‘Dungeon error… … .’
I’m getting angry.
But I couldn’t just kick this thing out of me because I felt bad.
This time, the monsters that burst out of the break are flying creatures, so a long-range awakening ability that can intercept them from all directions is ultimately needed.
What kind of trouble would a hunter like Jeong Ha-seong end up in if he were to engage in street fighting?
Skills with the [Curse] attribute have little effect on the item.
But in modern society, depending on the circumstances, these restrictions could actually be an advantage.
There is no need to look far for examples.
Just like right now.
‘Oh my.’
Arrived at the scene of the incident within a few minutes.
Esther looks around.
‘When I was little, I used to like that disgusting thing because I thought it looked pretty.’
The downtown area, where businessmen in suits used to walk around, has now turned into hell.
Because the dungeon’s explosion was expected to happen faster than she could arrive, the A-class Awakened people hurriedly gathered together to give the monsters a new ceiling, but…
“Is it too narrow for you?”
Phew, phew, phew.
Soon the sound of flapping wings can be heard from all directions.
Within the barrier of this business district created by those with defensive skills, there existed a giant butterfly the size of a baby whale.
【Attack Morpho】
[Grade: A]
[Information: Normally relatively docile, but when stimulated by skills, physical attacks, etc., it immediately shoots a beam.]
Esther heightened their hostility to prevent them from running wild any longer.
I brought them down one by one with a curse, remembering that the beautiful butterflies in front of me were eating people and ruining our daily lives.
“Aww, annoying! Anyway, since I came all the way out of the dungeon, when will I finish cleaning this up?”
But at that time, the butterfly-shaped monster was being killed without any problems.

From behind, before she could notice, a monster with a particularly small body was caught in the curse’s range.
-!
The leader of the dungeon that took damage.
The lured morpho soon began to emit a suspicious light.
“what?”
She was quick to notice this change, as she possessed above-average magical power detection abilities even among S-class Hunters.
“I have to kill that one first……”
But the timing of the return trip wasn’t good.
Esther killed so many butterflies that she ended up covering this road with their wings.
Of course, I was currently standing on the soft, silky body of the monster.
“Huh.”
It is a result of a cause and effect.
Slippery.
The number 2 hunter in Korea soon fell over with a feeble sound.
As she sprained and collapsed, the dungeon boss seemed to have been waiting for this moment to gather energy and attack… … .
‘It was a coat I treasured.’
The opponent is a class A monster, so even if you get attacked like this, you probably won’t die.
But Esther frowned in annoyance, anticipating that her clothes would be damaged.
-Sabak, sabak, sabak.
If only it weren’t a battlefield filled with demons everywhere.
At least he would have changed his mind after hearing these footsteps.
Flash!
The change happened in the blink of an eye.
It’s not a metaphor, I just closed my eyes from the shock of the real fall and opened them, and the situation was resolved.
Shiny shoes.
A suit with neatly finished tailoring.
…and black leather gloves that I saw for the first time.
When she regained her sight, all that was in front of her was information like this, rather than the monster’s beam.
“Seo Esther Hunter.”
Someone else’s voice rings.
“What are you doing here? Are you sure that the person named Hyuga came back for work?”
The man in front of me was speaking to me in a slightly brighter tone than usual.
I haven’t had any further contact with him since he told me he was going to the Tokyo Artifact Expo…
Honestly, I don’t know the reason, but anyway, Kim Ki-ryeo seems to be in good condition today.
That would be the case, even if he was an S-class hunter. How could someone be hit by the beam of a monster flying at them with such terrifying momentum… .
‘As if it had been completely erased.’
How can you block it head-on and still be okay?
“Did you hurt your ankle?”
Looking back, the blonde hunter was holding his gloved hand in front of his face as if shielding himself from the sunlight.
But when Esther slips and falls and cannot get up, he quickly changes the purpose of his right hand.
The other person readily offered me his hand as support, as if telling me to stand up.
So Esther grabbed it and got up, struggling.
When Kiria said with a look of superiority in her eyes, ‘I cannot use my awakening ability in a public place like this… ‘, after hearing this, Kiria showed understanding and continued to deal with it.
Thud.
Thud.
When all the surrounding monsters were dealt with thanks to the curse skill.
“Mr. Kiryeo.”
Esther asked a question first, putting aside greetings like, “Why did you come today when you had free time?” or “Thank you for helping me.”
“But how did you get into this restricted area?”
There is a barrier in place, but an outsider came in, so I wondered what was going on.
But Kim Ki-ryeo, who had seemed strangely excited as if his daily plan had been successful until just a moment ago, suddenly changed his gaze to a distant one as he answered.
“Well, anyway, monster barriers are usually….”
“yes?”
Kim Ki-ryeo’s attitude is cynical.
That’s because this side used the same mechanism as the [Baron of Hwawon] incident when entering the battlefield.
To put it more simply:
He was just judged to be dust again in the human barrier that was created for the sake of being holy.
“No, it’s just… I came in comfortably because the inside and outside directions are different. I was also going to ask them to lift the barrier when I leave…”
The man in the suit raises his left hand and wipes his eyes secretly.
Still, wiping my tears with a hundred billion won glove felt better than with bare hands.
***
Anyway, how can I reveal this fact in front of a real S-class hunter?
‘Am I dust…?’
When Kim Ki-ryeo was trying to calm his pounding headache by placing his hand on his forehead.
‘I didn’t see things wrong. After all, those aren’t ready-made gloves.’
Esther was intrigued by the new element.
To be exact, the attention was belatedly focused on the fact that Kim Ki-ryeo was wearing gloves.
‘It’s okay!’
Well, there’s no accessory that goes with a suit as well as gloves.
Plus, it’s accented with vintage leather material, so how neat is this outfit?
‘But why did someone with such good sense wear such a useless man-to-man shirt in the past?’
A sign for [Matjoa Picnic Chicken & Pizza] was discovered at a nearby store while clearing a road that had been ruined by monster corpses.
Esther looked at me with a sour look on her face, as if she had chewed on something bitter.
This too was fleeting.
“Anyway, thank you for coming all the way here to help me.”
The opponent was very considerate and directly blocked the boss monster’s attack.
Esther did not forget to express her gratitude.
But the blond man shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
‘In this warm atmosphere, it would be a bit of a pain to say that I went to the battlefield to test new equipment, right?’
Where would the birth pangs break?
In fact, he had already discovered the scene of the incident by using the fact that his body’s magical power was at its lowest, but he pretended not to notice and wandered around without making a sound.
If you were to be caught by the S-class female hunter in front of you, your teeth would actually break if you were hit with a fist.
“Isn’t it hard to find each and every demon stone?”
“oh.”
“Should I mark the location in advance from here? I’m good at finding magic stones. You have the [Emotion] skill, right?”
The man in the suit mutters after looking around for a moment.
And then he started to secretly help Esther with her work.
“I’ll take care of it right away. You rest!”
If you think about it, there are other costs to laziness besides the ones I just described.
Esther Seo was a person who helped Kang Chang-ho a lot in many ways, including materially and physically.
So Kim Ki-ryeo thought.
‘Because of the help you gave me last time, there is no more debt between me and that primitive sorcerer.’
The emotional trauma that was in Esther’s mind must have been greatly reduced now.
So, I decided to start from zero and start winning over the sorcerer’s favor again.
“…….”
In the face of someone’s shrewd actions.
The purple-haired woman looked at this, but came to a completely different conclusion on her own.
‘It seems like that hunter and I were pretty close.’
To be exact, a worry came to mind.
‘To be honest, even at this moment, I feel a bit awkward introducing you as an acquaintance… … .’
On the outside, she treated him so kindly, but in reality, Esther thought of him that way.
My younger sibling finally has a close friend in the industry!
It might sound shocking to someone so hopeful, but Esther didn’t feel particularly close to the man in the suit in front of her.
To be precise, it was closer to not being able to feel such emotions.
This person has an innate temperament problem, and his anger management skills are much worse than others.
How can one possibly be comfortable with such a violent human being, even one who seems to have a strange immunity to curses?
‘hmm.’
You blocked Boss Morpho’s beam in one breath, so it’s a defense system?
Or is it because he fought Kang Chang-ho and ended up trampling on him instead, so he got physically stronger?
But whatever the awakening attribute, Esther felt a strange tension whenever she saw a compatriot she couldn’t fully control.
