SWNOVELS Chapter 29
“Hunter Yoon Seora!”
Do Junyoung came running right away. Han Suwon’s, who followed, face was also hardened.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt? I called you immediately after hearing the news that Park Jinyong had escaped the surveillance and disappeared, but you didn’t answer, so I was worried.”
“I’m fine, I’m fine… Fortunately Kang Sejun here helped me out before anything big happened… Th-Thank you v-very much.”
Seora bowed her head toward Kang Sejun with her trembling body. One could feel relief, fear, and the joy of surviving from her trembling thin shoulders.
Kang Sejun thought.
Let’s not be surprised by what this woman does in the future.
He felt like he had been scammed once or twice, but after watching it over and over, he was getting used to it. Although he did not feel happy.
“… I’m glad I was helpful.”
Sejun smiled with a relieved face. It was a half-hearted remark.
“We were worried in case something happened because of our lateness, but thanks to Kang Sejun, it was prevented. Thank you.”
“I apologize. I should have kept my eye on him. I’m really sorry for letting you go through this.”
Han Suwon bowed his head toward Seora with a face filled with shame. His anger could be felt in his jaw, which looked rigid and tight. His frozen blue eyes turned to Park Jinyong.
“Since he did this again, this time we will be able to put him in prison. If we use some force here, we can push for the death penalty.”
“Did Kang Sejun cause that wound?”
Do Junyoung asked Kang Sejun. He didn’t want to ruin his relationship with Seora by telling the truth for nothing, so he nodded obediently.
“Yes, I thought there was no reason to show mercy because he was trying to kill people.”
“It is an accurate judgment. This completely eliminates the possibility of him escaping.”
Do Junyoung nodded and called somewhere to move Park Jinyong, who was screaming. Meanwhile, Han Suwon, who was looking at Park Jinyong with an angry face as if he was about to burn him, suddenly expressed a question.
“Excuse me, but I heard that Kang Sejun is a fire mage. Is that correct?”
“So?”
“Park Jinyong’s wounds are a little strange. They look like gunshot wounds. Do you use a firearm as well, Kang Sejun-ssi?”
After finishing the phone call, Do Junyoung’s gaze turned to the ruined knee. Although it was covered by pants, two S-class had no problem looking at it.
The two holes, from which blood was still flowing, looked like gunshot wounds from mana bullets. Even some burn marks seemed to have been shot from a fairly close distance. Was this what Kang Sejun did?
The gazes of Do Junyoung and Han Suwon moved at the same time.
Come to think of it, they hadn’t been able to see it clearly earlier because the situation was urgent. But Kang Sejun had been holding something since a while ago. The moment when they were about to ask whether it was the gun that had shot Park Jinyong, the faces of the two became very strange.
Do Junyoung asked with a confused expression.
“Kang Sejun, did you shoot Park Jinyong with that?”
“Ah, that’s…”contemporary romance
Kang Sejun looked down at his hand just then. Just before they arrived, Seora had pulled it out of her inventory and forcibly let him hold it…
“A slingshot…?”
It was a toy slingshot with a rubber strap.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Silence fell in the dark alley.
Sejun, who looked at his hand blankly, looked at Seora, who was still pretending to be trembling. Seora shyly avoided his gaze.
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it either. It would be problematic if it were a real gun, since Kang Sejun had no shooter characteristics. But such a problem would not arise if it was a toy slingshot.
She had done it with such a pure heart, never intended to make fun of Kang Sejun.
[Administrator: ꉂꉂꉂꉂ☞( ﾟ▽ﾟ)☞]
The administrator was laughing, but Seora was being sincere.
… She really was.
In the awkward silence, the eyes of Do Junyoung and Han Suwon towards Kang Sejun changed very subtly.
Although it was, by any means, not a good feeling, Kang Sejun calmly endured the gaze without making an excuse.
Oh, dear. What a reliable person.
Seora was very grateful and sorry to him for not breaking his promise to protect her identity even in this situation. I’m the one who caused this situation, so I should at least fix it.
“That’s… the slingshot is mine. Even if I can’t use a gun, I think a slingshot should be okay, so I carry it around. Kang Sejun picked up what I dropped.”
“Oh, I see.”
Fortunately, the two quickly understood.
When their gaze finally left him, Sejun turned his head toward Seora. He looked more tired than he had when he had seen her digging around with a pickaxe in the dungeon.
“… I’ll give it back now.”
“Hmmm. Thank you so much for your help. And, uh, I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
So you still have a conscience. Sejun’s eyes staring intently at Seora were filled with sorrow. Seora put the slingshot into her inventory and looked away.
“Park Jinyong’s knee was shattered, but Yoon Seora’s mental shock will not be resolved with this.”
Han Suwon clicked his tongue and expressed concern. Sejun’s gaze became more bizarre, but Seora didn’t even look at him and smiled as if she were tired.
“It’s okay. Fortunately, I got help before anything happened. And I am a Hunter, although my grade is low. I am always prepared for this level of risk.”
“Still, this was the first time this happened in my guild, so it is right for me to take responsibility. If it’s okay with you, I’d like to offer you protection at the Clear Blue Guild for the time being.”
“Protection?”
“Clear Blue Guild provides accommodation to its guild members. Why don’t you stay there, at least until you feel relieved?”
Clear Blue Guild’s accommodation! It was a famous enough place that even Seora knew it well.
The state-standard facilities were available, but what had made it gain its popularity above all was the incredibly delicious food. There were even things like “Today’s Clear Blue’s meal” floating around on the Internet.
It was the most important thing for Koreans who live on their salary.
‘Ahhh, I want it.’
She was salivating as the meal in the Clear Blue dormitory, which she had seen often, flashed past her eyes.
“You don’t have to feel pressured at all. You can stay as long as you want until you feel relieved. You can come with me right now.”
‘How can you be so sensible? How could you hide such a gentle side behind your ice cube-like appearance? He’s like the main character in a novel.’
In addition, because of having such common sense, Seora liked him even more.
Shall I eat delicious food, sleep comfortably, and build friendships with a handsome guy at the same time?
Hehehehe, when Seora, who was in agony, was about to tilt to one side.
[Administrator: ٩(๑`н´๑)۶]
Elizabeth-ssi, the narrow-minded guy, began to run rampant.
‘What’s wrong with it again? Do you hate that I’m going to eat delicious food?’
Trying to take away food from Koreans. How can you be so cruel?
[Administrator: (･`д´･);]
Ah. That sweat. It seemed that the food was not the problem. In that case…
‘Does it hate me getting close to Han Suwon?’
[Administrator: !!(╭☞｀Д´)╭☞]
[Administrator: ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡]
Oh my gosh. They hate the idea so much enough to cry. A person can have relationships with different people, you know…
‘And what’s wrong with it? It’s not that I really want to date Han Suwon…’
Besides, I don’t think Han Suwon has any other thoughts. This is simply like offering someone a bowl of kimchi soup.
[Administrator: (°F° ╬)]
However, the administrator’s mood was not relieved.
‘Oh, I got it, I got it! Ugh, seriously. My taste is not sculpture-like people anyway.’
After grumbling inside for a while, Seora turned her head with an apologetic face. But before that, the administrator’s emoticon popped up.
[Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻]
Why the hell are you doing that? I’m not going. I’m not going, alright? Then why are you flipping the table?
“Yoon Seora?”
Seora, who was looking at the air with a strange face, regained her senses at the voice of Han Suwon calling her.
“Oh, thank you for the offer, but I’m fine. I will calm down soon.”
“I don’t mean to force you, but it would still be better than being alone.”
“Mm. My friend visits me often.”
Not only do they visit often, but we also live together. Elizabeth, a friend with a very old-fashioned nickname.
“The offer I gave you is still valid, so please keep that in mind. Please feel free to contact us.”
Seora kept it very well, Han Suwon’s business card which was like a black card.
“Do you have any desire to join the Clear Blue Guild?”
But in the words that followed, she couldn’t help but panic.
Sejun, who was standing next to her with a blank face, and Do Junyoung, who was looking down at Park Jinyong in displeasure, also turned around. Everyone was equally surprised by the unexpected offer.
“Pardon? Uh, I—”
“I’m not asking you to move right away. But if you’re interested, please feel free to contact us.”
It was rare for Han Suwon to personally invite someone to join the guild. Therefore, Seora, who was a scammer F-class, was very flustered upon being offered this unconventional benefit. She had already done enough things she felt guilty about.
“Clear Blue Guild’s leader, I remember that the president gave you a warning just a few days ago not to invade her territory.”
At that time, Do Junyoung, who had been listening quietly, interrupted with a faintly sharp voice.
