Chapter Index

    “Living with my younger sister in this small room… “It must be so much inconvenience!”

    Jeong Si-ah looks at me with eyes full of pity.

    I still have the habit of making my own conclusions and imagining things.

    but… , it’s a bit strange to say that it’s still the same.

    It’s only been a few months at most, but is it possible for people to change so drastically?

    If I go on imagining things any longer, the little sister I never had will become real, so let’s cut it off at this point.

    “I don’t have a younger sister.”

    “W-what… ! Are you saying my guess was wrong? ?”

    “Yes, completely.”

    “Well, I see… .”

    Sia quickly becomes sullen as if she lost all her assets even though she only guessed one thing wrong.

    Having experienced this guy the most, I know how to quickly cheer him up.

    “Would you like another cup of coffee?”

    “Oh, would you do that?”

    Look at this, this.

    If you give them something they like, they will quickly feel energized again.

    I boiled a little more water that hadn’t cooled down yet and added another cup of mixed coffee to it.

    Then he quickly smiled and sipped his coffee.

    I felt like it would never end if I continued like this, so I got straight to the point.

    “So the reason you came here… , Is this to recruit me into the guild?”

    “Well, yes. “All the scouts in the guild unanimously said that you should be the first recruit.”

    “Oh yeah.”

    That’s really strange.

    It’s not unusual for scouts to put him as the number one recruit, but there’s no way Jang Siu would have allowed it.

    Isn’t it normal for him to be very reluctant to face me?

    So I asked.

    “that… , The guild leader also wants to recruit me?”

    Then the guy answered.

    “I do not know!”

    “… … .”

    I don’t know, but why are you so confident?

    “… “Don’t you usually need the guild leader’s approval to recruit someone from a guild?”

    As I added more words, the guy frowned and started grumbling.

    “What are you going to do to me when the guild leader is away!”

    “… “Is the guild leader away?”

    Damn this guy, he made excuses like it was a sabbatical year or something, but he even took a hand in running the guild?

    Meanwhile, Sia said something shocking.

    “okay! “The guild leader disappeared, leaving a good-looking fake in his place!”

    “Eck.”

    oh my god.

    What did I just hear?

    “FALSE… “What?”

    “Yes, fake! It’s so convincing that it seems like everyone else is being fooled, but it hasn’t even fooled me!”

    … I think it’s real.

    It seems like Sia really realized that the current Son Si-woo is a fake.

    No, but how?

    “How did you know it was fake?”

    “If you look at it, it’s fake!”

    … It seems like a lie.

    “Really?”

    “Uh huh, even if it’s true. “Are you saying you don’t trust the princess you saw?”

    “… “You have to believe it, yes.”

    It seems like it’s a lie, but it’s harder to ask if you push it in like that.

    If I interrogate him further, he might get upset.

    “anyway! The guild leader cares for Princess Bon very much. “If the princess recommended you, there won’t be any problem, so don’t worry.”

    Umm.

    It is true that I cared for Sia a lot.

    I felt sorry for the older girl who had gone through a lot of hardships when she was young, and because she acted so young, I felt happy because being with her made me feel like I had a second daughter.

    But that is that, and this is this.

    “I’m sorry, but I have no intention of joining the guild yet.”

    “What… !”

    The guy’s body becomes stiff after hearing what I said.

    It looks like he was quite shocked.

    “What is the reason!”

    “uh… “There’s no particular reason, but to put it bluntly, you don’t want to belong somewhere yet?”

    Even that is an excuse, not a made-up excuse.

    Because if I say the real reason out loud, I will lose my life.

    “Well, you’re trying to reject this princess’s choice just for that reason… !”

    Sia gets up from her seat, trembling.

    “I will never forget this humiliation!”

    He speaks quite confidently, but his face is so sad that he looks like he’s about to shed tears at any moment.

    Seeing that makes me feel weak again.

    Still, there’s nothing I can do about it.

    As long as the no-disclosure clause is in effect, nothing can be revealed.

    “Oh, there will come a day when I regret this decision!”

    Then, he pours the coffee from the paper cup into his mouth in one go.

    Sia turns her back, her cheeks puffing out.

    I walk out to the front door stomping, but the speed is not cool at all.

    It looks like he wants you to catch him before he leaves.

    “Hey, princess?”

    As soon as I call you, I look back.

    “Have you changed your mind?!”

    “no. “That’s not it.”

    “this person… ! “Then what is it!”

    “It would be best not to tell anyone else that the guild leader is a fake.”

    If you go around talking about this, it could cause you a lot of headaches.

    Because the child looks so young and has a unique concept, not many people will believe it… , you never know when words will gain credibility and come out again.

    Hearing my words, his cheeks puffed out even more.

    “Do you think the princess you saw is a fool?! “I know you shouldn’t say things like that to anyone!”

    Why did someone who knew so well tell me everything?

    “… “Then why to me?”

    I asked out of curiosity, and the guy shook his head.

    “you… , something is different. It’s the same with stroking my head earlier, and the fact that the coffee water matches my taste exactly… , I feel like I’m not a stranger I’ve met for the first time.”

    “… … .”

    Maybe he was recognizing me deep in his unconscious mind.

    “You guys be careful. The moment you wrongly spread what I said to others, the princess herself will punish you!”

    I smiled and nodded.

    “Yes, I will be careful.”

    Then, instead of the confident attitude he had just a moment ago, he spoke in a hesitant manner.

    “which… “I’d like to come over for coffee sometime.”

    I guess he’s convinced that it’s fake because Jjak Siu didn’t give him coffee… ?

    * * *

    Sometimes there are days like that.

    Those times when you encounter something or someone completely unexpected.

    A moment so exquisite and mysterious that you don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or an inevitability.

    For Kim Do-jin, today was that kind of day.

    A day when a hard stone flies in and breaks the ordinary life that is no different from usual.

    It was during a boring class.

    ‘Hunter History’ time to look back on the history of hunters.

    What woke me up from the old professor’s relaxed voice, almost like a lullaby, was none other than a conversation between two students sitting in the back seat.

    “Hey, you know that?”

    “what is that.”

    “They say there is a girl named Yano among the students at our university.”

    “Yano girl? what is that.”

    “You idiot, don’t you know that? “A woman exposed to the outdoors!”

    “… “Is there a girl like that among the girls attending Korea University?”

    “Uh, there’s a girl who posts pictures of Yano on her SNS account, and she said that among the places where she took pictures were our school’s bathroom and classroom.”

    “crazy.”

    Their conversation was enough to make Kim Do-jin’s eyes light up.

    Students at Korean universities are basically bright students who passed through extremely competitive rates and were admitted.

    Isn’t it funny that among these talented people, there is a pervert who enjoys being outdoors?

    ‘It’s outdoor exposure… .’

    What kind of face do you make and act like that, and why do you post it on social media for others to see?

    It was a behavior that was difficult to understand, but I was curious about it.

    What does a woman who does that look like?

    When you see vicious serial killers in real life, they look so ordinary and gentle that you wonder if they really would do such a thing. Wouldn’t Yano Nyeo be similar to them?

    ‘I guess I’ll go on patrol once in a while…’ ?’

    Continuing with his fleeting thoughts, he succeeds in withstanding Professor Roh’s sleep attack that lasted for two hours, and gathers with his team members to have lunch.

    And while I was walking slowly to the magic department lecture hall where the next class was to begin while trying to digest food, the moment in question came.

    “student! “I’m sorry, but can I ask you for directions?”

    A woman’s voice coming from behind.

    Kim Do-jin, who saw that he was the only one walking, stopped and turned back.

    “Where are you going… .”

    The moment Kim Do-jin saw a woman walking from a short distance away, he was unable to finish his sentence.

    Because that woman was one of the people he knew very well.

    Although he has sharp eyes, he has gentle eyes that have never been warm.

    My skin had turned a little darker, but other than that, everything was the same as it was six years ago.

    “Could you tell me where the infirmary building is?”

    Kim Do-jin hesitated at her question, but managed to point to where the infirmary building was.

    Fortunately, it was not far away, so I could see the building, otherwise it would have ended with only an unsightly appearance.

    “Thank you, student! I am a healer who will be working in the infirmary starting next week! “Are you an aspiring hunter?”

    “uh… , yes.”

    “If you get hurt, come to me! “I will heal you more carefully than other students.”

    “thank you… ?”

    “Ho Ho! Be cute. “Then shall we see you next time?”

    Kim Do-jin stares blankly at her as she walks away, waving her hands in a cheerful mood the whole time.

    Soon, great confusion came into his mind.

    “Why on earth is Juyeon…?” ?”

    Juyeon Han.

    My sister-in-law, who left for the United States six years ago, has returned.

    As a healer at the medical center of the Korean university he attends.

    Why on earth did a kid who was so talented that he even received a huge offer from a large American guild come to work here?

    Kim Do-jin could not understand at all.
