Episode 328. Starting Today, I am a Munchkin Hunter from another world (2)
“Each!”
By the way, it’s already the change of seasons.
The alien creature, looking down at the ground in the rising morning sunlight, thought.
The thoughts that came to mind this time were on a different topic from the evaluations he had written down in his notebook so far.
‘Plus, the food at this hospital is so bland. Should I make a separate plan to eat out for lunch today?’
Certainly, the solar system where he settled is a land where the proverb goes, “Even the Diamond Mountains look better after a meal.”
I wonder if it’s okay to worry about food even in this situation where annihilation is imminent.
The blond, leather-clad alien continued to conjure up fantasies that would terrify the natives of Earth.
And while he continued his thoughts on the rooftop railing.
At around the same time, some of the examinees for that notebook were also in special trouble.
***
Again a few hours ago.
To be exact, 8 hours and 13 minutes before the blonde alien bought the spring notebook at the convenience store in front of the hospital.
“Huh.”
“Esther Hunter, would you like a handkerchief?”
Drrrrr.
In the white hallway, a sliding door suddenly moves.
This was a friction caused by several people who had entered the room rushing out at the same time.
Room 301 on the top floor, with its faint floral scent, is the most private room used by so-called big shots, such as CEOs of large corporations.
Because now was the moment when the temporary owner of that great room, the patient, had ordered everyone to leave.
‘As soon as I got here, I was like, ‘Am I a guest?’
Jeong Ha-seong. Seo Esther.
This picture of the number one hunting industry leader in South Korea and the head of a huge guild being kicked out so easily feels a bit comical.
They must have heard that they are VIPs wherever they go.
After being kicked out of the hospital room, Seohyung Koo came out into the hallway and looked around in despair.
But what can I do?
‘You must be feeling unwell. You’re not usually the type of person to get angry like that.’
Even if the person in that hospital room wasn’t necessarily a great hunter (Kim Ki-ryeo), the status of a visitor is swayed by a single word from the patient.
thus.
The three people in this place, including the enchanter, made a judgment.
Now, it seemed best to go back unconditionally according to the patient’s wishes.
“Excuse me. Mr. Seo-hyung… … .”
“Yes, yes, Representative Seo.”
“Excuse me, but I have to ask you something because of what I heard earlier.”
But Kim Ki-ryeo didn’t tell them not to chat with each other on the way home.
“Let me clarify in advance. While I was working on the Ko Byeong-do case, I heard that the two of you were classmates. So, putting that information aside, what on earth is the story that just came out?”
“yes?”
“Uh, memory… loss? So, Kiryeo has amnesia?”
“Ah, that… … .”
“It was embarrassing enough that he was brought in by ambulance! No, now all the symptoms that you only see in dramas are coming in.”
“Please calm down first.”
The displaced Awakened began to chat as they headed towards the end of the hallway where the elevator was.
“Judging from the reaction, it seems like this was news that hunters like Representative Esther didn’t know about.”
“under…….”
“Is this the first time you’ve heard that Kiria got hurt so badly that she had memory problems while working?”
“yes!”
“I, I thought that since this is… something that Kiria would tell me, she would have naturally told her industry acquaintances who she meets more often than me… … .”
There is a brief lament mixed in between the conversation.
“But I misunderstood. What if this was a secret that my friend really wanted to keep hidden?”
When the only remaining Ahn Yoon-seung was still sobbing beside the patient’s bed.
The three Awakened people arrived in front of the elevator.
“are you okay.”
Esther was the one who mainly led the conversation.
“Anyway, Mr. Kiryeo isn’t the type of person to beat up a classmate who made a single slip of the tongue.”
“hmm.”
“Even if you say that you kept it a secret because you didn’t want to reveal your weakness as a hunter… … Honestly, in a situation like this, I wonder if losing your memory is a big deal.”
“Lost memory, huh?”
“There was something that could have happened.”
By the way, the incident that just came out refers to Kim Ki-ryeo’s lung CT scan incident, and this S-class hunter was also present at the moment when the secret was revealed.
Hasung and Esther.
Soon, the two people’s expressions darken.
‘Is that the lung problem I heard about in the hospital room earlier?’
Seo-hyung, who observed their complexions, remained silent without asking about the truth of the incident he did not know about.
But no matter how much I want to just sit back and watch, I can’t avoid this behavior if I want to go back to the first floor of the hospital.
Tiing.

At the end of the hallway. Gu Seo-hyung presses a round button on the wall and waits for a moment.
Then, soon, an elevator arrived, making a soft and gentle noise.
“hmm?”
From now on, all I have to do is ride this all the way home… … .
“Aren’t you going to ride?”
It was the moment when a figure wearing round glasses entered inside.
For some reason, the other two remained unmoved.
Gu Seo-hyung held the elevator open button while looking at his companion who was hardly moving.
‘Mr. Kiryeo is a patient.’
But even when the Enchanter asks whether to board, there is only silence for a while.
‘And on top of that, I’m having such a difficult problem to solve.’
Just like this one sentence of thought that opened the floodgates, in fact, some people at this time were unable to escape the whirlwind of shock.
Esther was a representative example.
It was to the extent that even she, who was usually very brisk, was lost in thought even when the elevator arrived in front of her.
‘oh my god…….’
Doesn’t this seem a bit unfair?
Esther thought about it for a moment.
Honestly, this world is full of so many bad things that deserve to die.
But with so many choices, why bother with Kim Ki-ryeo’s crisis?
As I thought about the situation, tears welled up in my eyes again.
‘He’s a really good hunter.’
But in the midst of all this, another emotion she felt was… … .
‘This industry would be in trouble if that person didn’t exist.’
Ironically, it was a surprise.
It’s a bit embarrassing to reveal this to others.
But in fact, Esther was a person who had never felt this sad about the misfortune of others in her life.
The head of the Magic Tower Guild has been in charge of dealing with high-level criminals for several years, and has been concerned about the safety of the citizens to the extent of managing the so-called Awakened people… … .
All of these actions, contrary to appearances, were driven by distorted thoughts.
Moreover, the source of her sense of service was actually easier to explain than anything else.
‘Ah… … How in the world can something like this happen?’
In fact, Esther was an awakening supremacist.
To elaborate, Korean sorcerers have been taking it for granted since the time of the Northern Mariana Islands fake aurora observations (in the very early days of Dungeon Shock, only strange lines of light that did not connect spaces appeared for a short time), that is, since the years before the fact that mana existed in this world was discovered.
People with superpowers are superior creatures.
Because she had such an underlying thought, she was always kind to the citizens.
Of course, it is obvious that anyone who hears the idea of awakening superiority will criticize it.
Who else but the strong me will protect those weak, hapless, and incompetent people!
Because of her firm personal beliefs, paradoxically, Esther took good care of the unawakened people with all her heart.
Give a lot.
Moreover, the act of threatening the former Hunter Association President, Ko Byeong-do, with his skills and forcing him to step down was also an act that came from that kind of arrogance.
As a great predator, I lowered my posture and said yes, and now you dare to climb up on us (the Awakened)?
Although it is not entirely accurate, it was because of this resentment in her heart that she was able to attack Ko Byeong-do with even greater contempt.
If you think about it calmly, normal people wouldn’t assault people unless they had that side to them.
Anyway, when you organize various things, it seems that the woman in her 20s was not the sympathetic type.
“under.”
But with a personality that lacks sensitivity, I never thought that a day would come when I would cry out of the blue.
“… … .”
Esther thought briefly again before taking a step forward.
During that time, when looking at S-class Kim Ki-ryeo, he would think of things like, ‘We’re still awkward with each other’, ‘To be honest, it’s awkward to go around saying that we’re close’, etc…
In fact, did he think of Kim Ki-ryeo as somewhat special in his heart?
Or did the efforts to flatter and coyly try to establish a friendship with the strong awakened ones in advance become a mean waste?
‘Now I’m suddenly getting angry.’
Whatever the truth, the sorcerer’s reaction was the same.
‘I’m so young, why do I have to worry about things like the amount of subsidy for people I know?’
The current situation was shocking to her.
Even though Esther had secretly anticipated this situation from long ago, she could not regain her composure.
-Knock knock.
I wonder how surprised they must have been, having never even seen Kim Ki-ryeo cough up blood…
“Representative Seo?”
The machine’s door is about to close when a D-class Awakened user presses the open button.
Esther put aside her worries and moved her feet.
The faint-hearted enchanter had already boarded the elevator before he could take notice.
“Excuse me. I must have been absent-minded. I’ve been so busy today… … .”
As the guild leader of the Korean Tower moved, the man in white standing behind him also came inside without saying a word.
As the door closes, the elevator panel information quickly approaches the number 1.
There was a brief hesitation, but after that there was no obstruction between them until they reached the entrance.
Esther only strengthened her conviction by exchanging a few words with Gu Seo-hyung.
‘A healthy adult who didn’t even know he was anemic suddenly started bleeding from his nose in the hallway.’
At this time, the national hero in the corner of the elevator does not open his mouth.
‘Brain diseases are already the scariest thing in this world. How would you feel if, in your mid-20s, you suddenly lost your memory to the point where you couldn’t even remember your own name?’
Of course, the two characters above didn’t really care about whether the number one ranking person was quiet or not.
‘And that guy Kim Ki-ryeo, with all that experience of being injured, how on earth did he return to the hunting business? If it were me, I would have been scared of everything.’
The conversation continued.
“… Then I’ll stop talking about the bad things. Um, by the way, why did you come to this hospital, Seo-hyung?”
“I’ll take your car.”
“Driving it yourself?”
“No. Unfortunately, I’m a total idiot when it comes to driving. I always have a bodyguard who’s a good driver with me.”
“So where is that bodyguard now?”
“It’s right in front of the first floor. This elevator is directly connected to the VIP floor. So, the hospital staff kept asking for permission from each and every visitor, so there was nothing we could do… … .”
“hmm?”
“… … But come to think of it, S-class people probably didn’t have to go through that process since their faces were their ID cards.”
The safety of an enchanter with low magical power and rare abilities is naturally a major issue.
The guild leader of the magic tower stood next to Gu Seo-hyung, protecting him as if he were the relatively weaker one.
-Ding.
But the Enchanter himself said that he was accompanied by proper security personnel.
Anything further along would be nothing more than a nuisance.
“It’s the first floor.”
The group crossed a drop of several dozen meters by elevator and soon arrived at their destination.
But hospitals are usually crowded because of the special nature of their location.
Koo Seo-hyung disappeared into the parking lot with the security team that had been waiting on the first floor.
Esther moved on, saying there was still a lot to be done regarding the Beast Gun.
And of course, the awakened player ranked 1st, who had been silent until now, had an attitude that wasn’t much different.
The superpowered people who had gathered in a small space quickly dispersed out of concern for the burden on the elderly.
“Ah! Your Majesty. Have you finished visiting the sick?”
“Yes, but the work isn’t over yet. The chief told me to hurry up and come.”
“Yes, yes. Get in. We’ll be on our way right away.”
“phew.”
But why do I still feel uneasy even though I’ve returned to a familiar space?
The Awakened One with Droopy Eyes. Esther sits down on the seat next to her secretary in the car.
And then, closing his eyelids, he admitted it inwardly.
‘I guess I unexpectedly fell for that hunter~’
So, I guess that’s why I became interested in other people’s bodily conditions.

[◎How may I help you?]
Your recent searches list
: Awakening cancer
: Awakeners and Cancer
: A case involving mana point awakening and… … .
——————=
I hope the fourth S-class is cured.
With that in mind, I searched for various things and soon several fonts appeared on my phone.
Esther, who is fluent in English and Japanese, reads materials from various countries displayed on the screen without distinction.
However, the content of the post did not deviate significantly from expectations.
‘The only thing that can be said is that if a hunter gets sick, he becomes X… … .’
I was wondering if things might be a little different depending on the time of awakening. Maybe it was because I shouldn’t search for symptoms of illness on the Internet?
‘I saw it for nothing.’
Mr. Jang Mo, 17 years old.
He died because the targeted therapy drug he was prescribed stopped working due to his awakening.
Mr. Namgung Mo, 29 years old.
In this person’s case, he was thought to be completely healthy, but a latent pancreatic mass was discovered late and he also died.
The emergence of superpowers occurs mainly among the younger generation.
The incidence of cancer is significantly higher only after age 50, which is exactly the opposite of this age group graph.
Therefore, in fact, patients with cervical cancer were so rare that there were only two cases in Korea.
But that’s not true.
‘It’s still only a hypothesis, but the awakened ones don’t catch colds and their immune systems are abnormally strong, so the probability of cancer cells developing into diseases is low, so the number of cases is even lower… …? No, this kind of paper is useless for someone who has already contracted the disease!’
The problem is that all of the cases discovered ended in death.
No matter how much I searched, it seemed that modern medicine could not solve the problem of mankind’s long-standing enemy mixed with supernatural powers.
So, Esther, desperately clutching at straws, typed the words that were the last hope for all the patients on the keyboard.
[Elixir]
In the Middle Ages, it was mainly pursued through alchemy.
Additionally, it is a letter that has become more famous as a name for certain dungeon items these days.
‘hmm.’
Elixir, or elixir.
And the moment the head of the Magic Tower Guild thought of a certain expression.
There was a person in this city who had a similar accident to hers around the same time.
‘If I had that item.’
It meant that any man in his 20s would eventually arrive at the name of the drug after thinking about it.
The highest ranked hunter in the country.
Even if you look around the world, he is an Awakened Person who is no different from a representative of S-class.
‘No, but now you say it’s an elixir… … .’
He has so much, but in the current situation, he is the only one who has not received a disaster warning.
That is, in comparison to the old type, Esther.
A person who has never witnessed Kim Ki-ryeo’s abnormal bleeding as an exception.
