To conclude, Sister Midwinter did not kill me.

Instead, he comforted me while I was terrified.

The hunter’s destiny is to fight against monsters.

I don’t know why she, a hunter, keeps me, a presumed monster, alive.

I don’t know exactly how big of a force the Vatican is on this Hunter side, but I couldn’t understand why they would take the risk of antagonizing the Vatican and save me, even though they were just meeting me for the first time.

“Are you okay, Sister?”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t that Vatican doing something to harm my sister?”

“Ah… . For saving you?”

“Yes.”

“No. That won’t happen. Don’t worry. Our hunters don’t receive much support from you in the first place.”

Of course, it is true that the great monstrous units such as the Cathedral Inquisitors are religious groups that provide free assistance for the safety of the people.

However, that is only a concept of assistance. In the end, the defense of a country is centered around the troops raised by that country. In other words, the hunters.

In other words, even if she causes friction with you, it won’t be a big problem for a high-level hunter like her.

Hearing those words, Ms. Han Gyul-wool… no, my sister looked different once again.

‘I didn’t know he was such an amazing person because he was just posting nonsense on the internet asking people to show him women’s breasts.’

“By the way. It’s you I’m worried about.”

“Yes?”

“You. What were you thinking when you decided to save this child?”

One winter, Sister Han Gyul poked Yeon Su-ho’s leg as she was sleeping as if she had fainted.

Barely bare. The snow-white legs of the guy without a single hair on his legs were pressed against her slender fingers, and they went in with a jerk.

“You’re going to rescue the weirdo and bring him to me? Are you in your right mind saying that?”

“Still…, I can’t let you die.”

Fortunately, no one is criticizing me for thinking of selling out another human being.

Since dealing with monsters is her job, it might be because she has encountered so many evil beings.

In the first place, I also had planned to catch and offer up a monster that causes great harm to humans, so if she questioned me, I was planning to explain it to her sincerely.

“Even so… . But. What on earth is your true identity? Tell me honestly. ”

“Hoo… .”

“Hard to say? What? Is there a taboo or something?”

“No. I’ll be honest with you. Because you helped me.”

“Ah… Yeah. Okay.”

As she trusted me as a human being, I must repay her trust in me.

Even though… the Master had asked me to keep the secret about the other world and the witches, it was already too late.

Since she had started to have suspicions about me, I thought that one day she would come to know the truth about the other world.

That’s right, Winter Unnie is the top hunter. She’s a special-class hunter, right?

There will be a lot of access, and people you know. There will be a lot of connections you can mobilize. If you try hard, won’t you get caught someday?

Since it’s come to this, it’d be better to be honest and get a promise.

If I say that my life depends on it and add a little MSG, Winter Unnie won’t go around the neighborhood gossiping about it… .

“First of all… I’m a witch.”

“Witch? Is she like the witch from a fairy tale?”

“Hmm… . I don’t think it’s that kind of evil image. Oh! There is one thing that’s similar. Living in hiding… . Normally, witches shouldn’t let outsiders know their true identities. ”

“I’m a hunter, but I’m an outsider?”

“Yes. The secrets of this world are probably bigger and wider than you know, Sister. Do you remember what the heretic priest said?”

“Among the monsters, there are those that disguise themselves as humans and live there?”

“Yes. Witches are included there. And not only that, there are many monsters that have not been revealed to the world.”

Was this truth too big for her to accept, having been fighting against monsters for nearly her entire life since being born with powers as an Awakened?

In the middle of winter, Sister looked at the ground, sighing deeply and wrapping her head around it.

“That’s hard… . If that’s true, why didn’t I know about it until now?”

“Hahaha. You guys are good at hiding it. But I got caught.”

“Then this kid is from that side too.”

“To be honest, I had no idea. They said they were vampires. Um… .”

Now that I look at it, he does look like a vampire.

A pretty and charmingly handsome face.

Milky white skin. Bright red eyes and silver hair.

Isn’t this the typical vampire appearance?

If all the vampires in the world looked like this, wouldn’t it be too hard to hide their appearance?

You look so ugly.

Even though I didn’t say anything, it seemed like Sister Winter had the same thoughts as me.

“He definitely looks like a vampire.”

“That’s right.”

“But isn’t that dangerous?”

“Uh… Suho?”

“No. You’re supposed to go catch that weirdo who lives in hiding like this guy.”

“That’s right.”

“Looking at you, the sky is you. It seems like you can’t fight at all.”

How dare you attack with facts so cowardly.

You are going too far….

I answered with a pout, pouting.

“The teacher is strong… .”

“Do you have a teacher?”

“Oops… .”

This is something I shouldn’t have said… .

“Rain, please keep it a secret.”

“Phew. The teacher is really strict?”

“Ugh… .”

Rather than being strict… he just has a very eccentric personality.

If Master finds out about this, he’ll probably be really upset.

I’ll get cursed at a lot, and maybe even Unnie Winter will be in danger…?

No. Even so, it would be impossible for the Master to defeat a special hunter.

“Okay. I’ll keep it a secret.”

“Thank you, Sister.”

Just as I was about to let out a relaxed smile, wondering if things were going well, Sister Han Gyul’s demeanor suddenly changed.

Her words, as she declared to me with a stern face and a firm scolding, fell like a warning.

“Still, my thoughts of keeping you by my side haven’t changed.”

“Ah. Yes. That was the promise from the beginning.”

It was possible for my sister to save me from that crazy priest because the promise of a one-on-one marking by a special hunter was a prerequisite.

ha….

I also felt like I had caused too much of a fuss and made things too complicated by trying to save Yeonsuho.

Do you know how much this older sister suffered to save you?

After staring at the sleeping boy for a moment, oblivious to the world, I met eyes with Han Gyul-wool’s older sister again.

“Absolutely, I will prove to you that I am not dangerous.”

“Of course I’m busy?”

“Ah… . Right. You’re a special hunter, right?”

“Well, how about this instead?”

“Yes?”

“You will be my assistant.”

omg…?

What does this mean?

Is this a world of reversals?

So what was my goal of making Suho my assistant?

What will happen to my goal of becoming a Hunter Gallery named after myself and a problem solver?

#16

The special hunter’s assistant. So, being a sidekick was not a disadvantage to me at all.

Even helping Hangyul, who tolerated the fact that I was a witch.

There was honestly no reason to turn it down.

Besides, I’m in a position where I have to catch an evil monster and bring it to that crazy priest.

For someone like me whose fighting prowess isn’t that great, the assistance of Winter, a special hunter, would definitely be of great help.

There is just one thing that is bothering me.

It was that guy Yeon Su-ho.

I was the first to declare that I would take that guy on as my assistant… Even to Soo-ho’s older sister, Soo-jin.

If this happens, all plans will fall apart.

‘Um….’

After a brief moment of deliberation, I came to a conclusion.

Let’s try.

“I will be your sister’s assistant.”

“Really?”

“Yes! My sister helped me a lot, so I want to repay her.”

Actually, I had this thought too.

Even though she did something so horrible that it was almost like grabbing my butt, you still protected me somehow.

It is only natural that a person should repay kindness!

If she had to watch over me periodically anyway, it would have been right for me to go to her side to relieve her of the hassle.

“Thank you for just hearing it~ Anyway, okay. Let’s do that.”

After that, I broke up with Winter Unnie after getting her number.

I decided to do the real assistant work later, and I was going to take Suho to Soojin.

I got off near the gosiwon and barely managed to get Yeonsuho out, but I couldn’t bring myself to go up to the gosiwon with him.

In the end, I had no choice but to take out my cell phone and call Soojin.

When she picked up the phone, I explained the situation and I could see her surprisingly happy when I told her that I had found Suho.

-Really!!??? Are you really looking for Suho!? Thank you so much!!!

“Ah, yes. But can you come down quickly? Suho is too heavy… .”

“… Huh? Suho is heavy? Ah! Yes! I’ll get down quickly! ”

You just got ridiculous!

To me, Yeonsuho, this guy is also a pig…!

At that moment, Yeon Su-ho’s body tilted inward.

Oh, oh, I’m falling. No!

I tried to somehow pull the guy towards me and protect him so that the back of his head wouldn’t break.

Bang!

Of course, there was no way to restore the center of gravity that had once tilted with my weak strength, and I ended up falling down with Yeon Soo-ho.

“Ugh… . It hurts… .”

You’re not hurt, are you?

Feeling worried, I raised my head and looked at Suho.

Despite all this commotion, Suho was sleeping soundly.

… on my chest.

Even if I’m a washboard, isn’t it too much to sleep with my chest as a pillow?

Phew, I have to get up first… .

“Heaven!! You really brought Suho… Huh??”

“Huh?”

Yeon Su-jin stood still, her jaw dropping, at the sight of Su-ho climbing over her as if he was swooping down on her.

Yeonsuho wakes up just then and starts to wiggle.

Oh, no!! I didn’t do anything!!

This isn’t some kind of romantic comedy! What is this?
