episode_0232

Boring lecture time.

At the time, I was feeling an unbearable need for sleep due to the old professor’s slow speech.

Suddenly, a message window appeared in front of my eyes.

[10,800 explorers hiding on Earth.]

[Following the energy left behind by the 918 explorers who barely survived, a disaster lurking in the darkness strikes the Earth.]

[Disaster difficulty level B.]

[The theme of the disaster is ‘flooding.’]

While I was panicking about the message window popping up out of nowhere, a message arrived on my smartphone.

The sender is the Hunter Association.

The content included the news that a Kraken had appeared on the southern coast, and that an emergency summons was issued to S-class and A-class hunters to form a punitive force to subdue it.

There’s one more thing.

There was even a plan to form a support group to support the punitive force among B-class hunters who volunteered.

“Kraken… .”

Kraken.

One of the monsters that exceeds the S class and is called a disaster, reaching hundreds of meters in size.

Appears only once.

However, just once was enough to feel the power and fear it possessed.

A crack created in the sea off Japan.

The guy who didn’t understand this and jumped out of the destroyed dungeon due to his magic concentration rising sharply killed thousands of Japanese hunters in just a week, turning the area around him red.

“… Was this the flooding?”

A little while ago, the message window was written in red letters as if warning, the two words ‘flood’ and a kraken.

There is probably no other monster that is better suited to the word flood than the Kraken.

Every time a tentacle measuring tens of meters in length hits the sea, waves of enormous height swirl around and submerge the surrounding area.

In other words, the identity of the disaster is Kraken.

“… … .”

After class, I sit back on the sofa in the east room and get lost in thought.

Should I go or not?

If an S-class or A-class hunter steps forward, it may take some effort, but the Kraken will eventually be subdued.

And that while minimizing the huge damage Japan suffered in the past.

Why do you think so?

“Because it’s a monster I’ve already experienced once.”

Do you know what the most feared monster in the world is?

It is a monster without basic information.

To find out what characteristics it has and what it is strong and weak against, you have to physically encounter it.

In the process, many hunters lose their lives due to enemy attacks.

Although it only happened once, the Kraken is a monster registered in the Hunter Association’s database.

How Japan attacked in the past and where it suffered the most damage, etc.

There is information exchanged for the lives of thousands of hunters.

This means that damage can be minimized through thorough preparation before battle.

“There may not be any damage at all, but… .”

It would be possible to attack the enemy to the point where people would say, “This is good enough for the Kraken to appear.”

There is information anyway, and unlike Japan, which has three S-class hunters, Korea has five… .

“Oh, there are four.”

Now, we have to distinguish between power and other things, hmm.

In any case, four people are more than enough to attack the Kraken.

At the time, when Japan attacked Kraken, there were only two S-class hunters.

Of course, hundreds of A-level hunters had our backs after that, but that would be the same for us.

“Even if I go, there won’t be anything to take… ?”

It may seem a little cold, but it’s true.

A sense of justice as a hunter to save people and the country?

I kept those things in my old body and didn’t even bring them to this body.

If it was a disaster caused by me, I would feel responsible, but that’s not true, right?

How hard I beat the searcher!

In the end, what makes this heavy body move is whether such actions help me or not.

I am at best a B-level hunter.

In terms of ability, I am confident that I will not lose even if I fight against an A-class person, but anyway.

The Kraken corpse itself is a mouth-watering treasure, but the expensive ones will all be taken by the S-Class or A-Class, who are the main targets of the attack, so there is no reason to go… .

No, no.

“Seup… , but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to gain… .”

It is true that there is nothing to be gained when considering the material aspect, but if you think about the non-material aspect, there is still something to be gained.

A fresh-faced freshman who has just become a B-level volunteer for the support team to help prevent disaster?

“The picture is pretty good.”

In order to quickly rise to the rank of A-level hunter, recognition is as important as accomplishments.

The more I rely on people’s support, the more the Hunter Association will have no choice but to pay a little more attention to me.

“Okay, okay.”

Finally, a decision was made.

“let’s go.”

Even if you can’t pick the Kraken’s head with this power, you can at least pretend to add a spoonful of help to it.

As soon as I made my decision, I immediately called Ji-an Yoon.

-Ah, Mr. Dojin. I’m a little busy right now, so if you don’t mind, later… .

“I’m going to the south coast.”

-yes… , yes? Are you going to the south coast?

“Yes, please add my name to the support group.”

-Hey, Mr. Dojin over there. Anyway, that’s… !

I expected it.

That she was going to disrupt my event.

“If you don’t let me in, I will go alone.”

-… Ah, I see.

He must have calculated it as soon as he heard my answer.

I know that there is less chance of me getting hurt if I join a support group than if I go alone.

-But, Mr. Dojin. Just know this:

“Yes, Mr. Jian.”

-I… , I was a little angry.

“Uh, um.”

what.

This is something I didn’t expect.

– Well, if you don’t release it quickly, it could be a big problem.

“… In short, you’re saying we’ll go on a date once things are resolved?”

-It’s up to Dojin how to interpret what I say, so don’t ask me.

I guess I can understand this as an answer that says don’t ask because it’s embarrassing, right?

“anyway… “We’ll see once the matter is resolved.”

-All right. that… , take care of yourself. Never go out to dangerous places.

“Don’t worry. “Because I don’t want to hurt myself either.”

I end the call by comforting her as she pours out her worries.

At the end, he said he couldn’t do it because he was anxious and that he would come pick me up after work and asked me to go down with him, but I had a really hard time stopping him from doing that.

“phew… “Then, shall we leave quickly?”

If you have already decided to do it, the sooner you act, the better.

If you show up at an inopportune time, the attention you receive is bound to be incompetent as well.

If you struggle from the beginning to attract attention, the picture will come out prettier.

With that in mind, I open the door and see an unexpected person standing there in an awkward posture.

“Shin Yoo-jeong… ?”

What is he doing here?

I thought he was so angry at me that he wouldn’t show his nose anywhere I might be.

Did you come to rest for a while because you thought I wouldn’t be around at this point?

I talk to him with an awkward smile on my face.

“Are you here to rest? I’m going out now, so take it easy… .”

“hey.”

Its terrifying voice cuts off my words.

The next question is:

“Why are you going to Haenam?”

It seems like he heard my voice through the door.

“… Why? “Of course.”

I’m going there to accumulate a lot of achievements and recognition.

… Instead of saying that, I tried to put out some words that seemed a bit odd.

“Maybe it’s because of my dad…” ?”

“… … .”

Why is this child suddenly looking for his dad?

Suddenly, I was about to ask what that meant.

A memory buried deep inside suddenly creeps into the cracks of my thoughts.

ah.

The place where Yujeong’s father worked was the Haenam Surveillance Battalion.

That means… , That guy is currently in the center of the area where the Kraken is rampaging.

This might be… ?

“… “It’s not like that.”

Shake the guy’s emotions with an ambiguous tone of voice.

He says no, but when he gives off a nuance that makes him feel confident that it’s true, his eyebrows rise.

“Do not lie. Otherwise, what are you going to do in Haenam?”

“that… .”

He trails off as if speechless.

There is no need for me to correct her thoughts or affirm them.

All you have to do is give him the feeling that something is going to happen, and then his brain will think, judge, and decide on its own.

“You bastard.”

The fist he swung weakly hit my chest.

Tuk

“Why are you doing this to me?”

Tuk

“You’ve done everything you can and then you say you like another bitch, but now again…” !”

I got a strong feeling.

What should I do now?

I grab the weak arm of the guy and pull him into my arms and hug him tightly.

“Let go… , don’t let this go… ?”

Even at the words of disapproval and at the arms and legs that were struggling to fall.

There is no sense of sincere rejection whatsoever.

Instead, he hugs him tighter and whispers softly into his ear.

“I’m sorry.”

This proverb was passed down to married men in the past.

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

What does this mean?

In the end, after committing something without permission, you have to pray with your hands and feet to be forgiven.

Then you get what you want, and the relationship returns to normal.

It is truly the collective intelligence of married men who dream of killing two birds with one stone.

This can be seen as a similar method.

First, shake your head with shocking words and ask for forgiveness at the time when you are most disturbed.

Of course, this wasn’t the original plan… , the plan is to change flexibly depending on the situation, right?

The arm of the guy who was struggling helplessly falls down.

“dad… “Are you going to save me?”

“huh.”

Actually, I don’t really want to save it.

Not only is that person a candidate for my father-in-law, but he is also my romantic rival.

But again… , Since the situation is like this, I have to do as much as I can to save it.

After hearing my answer, the guy pushes my body away with quite a bit of force and then wipes the corners of my eyes.

Then he glared at me with an even more angry expression and answered.

“… Just go ahead and go. “Let’s talk later.”

The answer somehow feels good.

Of course, I wasn’t allowed to have a harem… , you just need to be able to turn on the water.

Basically, everything is difficult the first time, but the second and third times are much easier.

I nodded and answered him with a confident expression.

“I will be back.”

Haenam Just wait.

I’m very behind.
