About a week had passed since the feast at the restaurant.

That day, after returning home, Ha-yeon was a little surprised that she felt full only after eating much more than when she was a man, but she was just sleepy and fell asleep.

She was quite tired.

After falling into the abyss of sleep, she woke up the next day and finally found out what was happening in the community.

Um… well, for example.

“Jin Ha-jeong and I are dating?”

Is this something that even a passing monster would scoff at?

Why would Jin Ha-jeong and I be dating?

‘Seriously, when were these pictures taken?’

The articles were plastered with pictures of Jin Ha-jeong and Ha-yeon together.

Photos of them walking together, him putting an artifact on her, and them being at a restaurant together.

Why did he put the artifact on her!

“He’s really crazy.”

Since that day, Ha-yeon mostly ignored Jin Ha-jeong’s calls.

If they kept meeting, it would only create more controversy. Even though she had become a woman and was trying to accept that life, there were steps to take.

Ha-yeon plopped down on the sofa and lay down haphazardly.

She could only laugh at the situation, but that didn’t change anything.

“I need to move…”

Apart from the loot item from defeating the King of Annihilation last time, each bone that made up his body was extremely expensive, so there would be about nine zeros in her bank account right now.

And in addition, there was the money she got from selling the relatively intact bodies of the roughly A-grade monsters she had killed before.

She could just live in seclusion with this money.

“Ah! Should I go look at houses today?”

A thought suddenly popped into her head about what to do with this money.

She hadn’t had any fights recently, and she had so little to do at home that she was wondering what to do, so this was perfect timing.

Her face had become famous in the media, and some people who knew she was the Sword Demon had come to bother her a few times, but now that she had money, there was no reason to delay.

She should stop by a real estate agency.

With that thought, Ha-yeon took off the dolphin pants and shirt she was wearing and changed into her going-out clothes.

Her going-out clothes were just comfortable sweatpants and a black T-shirt.

She had bought these clothes a while ago.

She had, of course, thrown away all her clothes from when she was a man, and she didn’t think she could wear a dress or a short skirt now.

And thinking about her current outfit, she was in no position to call Jin Ha-jeong a child of darkness.

Thinking that, she put on her artifact necklace, grabbed the white hoodie next to the sofa, and finished preparing to go out before leaving the house.

“Hmm… smell.”

She took a deep breath of the air and smelled the carbon dioxide.

It wasn’t much different today.

It’s still South Korea!

“Real estate agency…”

Fumbling with her phone, she found the location of a nearby real estate agency and walked straight there.

The real estate agency that bought this house had disappeared.

And a car? She didn’t have a driver’s license, and she didn’t have a car in the first place.

Didn’t they know she went to the Association by public transportation?

There was no place to park a car anyway.

“This is quite useful too.”

[Item – Life-Veiling Cloth (S+) is being activated.]

[Stealth is being activated.]

[Agility is increased.]

[No one is aware of your presence.]

Life-Veiling Cloth.

As a result of asking Jin Ha-jeong to process the Death-Veiling Cloth she received as a reward for killing a boss and the ribs of the King of Annihilation, this hoodie-shaped artifact was created.

The effect is that it completely conceals one’s presence and appearance by injecting mana into it.

If you wear this, even ordinary people and Hunters below A-grade won’t notice you even if they are right next to you.

It works to some extent even on S-grade Hunters, but she would be found out by people with good senses like her.

She also liked the style because it was based on white overall and had ribs attached as ornaments.

[Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ praises that it is a high-quality artifact even for him.]

The Constellation also said it was a good artifact, so she kept wearing it.

Besides, it also regulates the temperature, so it’s neither hot nor cold.

By the way, the reason why she wore this outfit when she wasn’t fighting was.

‘It’s always annoying when I go outside.’

Autographs, greetings, handshake requests, and so on.

There were so many annoying things.

It wasn’t that she felt bad about it. Most of the people who asked for it didn’t have any malicious intent.

However, it was just inconvenient if they blocked her way when she had to go somewhere.

And it was also a hassle to punish the guys who sexually harassed her one by one.

She arrived at the real estate agency, avoiding the ordinary people next to her.

When she arrived at the real estate agency, she saw a middle-aged woman with a gentle impression.

Ha-yeon erased the effect of the Life-Veiling Cloth and entered the real estate agency, and the woman greeted her happily.

“You’ve come to see a house! I see you on TV often.”

“Ah, thank you.”

After shaking hands, she sat down on the prepared chair and roughly stated her conditions.

“Money doesn’t matter, a house would be great, and it would be best if it’s near the Association.”

At least five rooms, a basement would be nice, and so on.

When she said these kinds of conditions, the woman smiled slightly and opened her mouth.

“Honestly, with that kind of money, it would be better to buy land and build a new building.”

Fortunately, she said it in a joking tone, so she knew that there was a building that met her conditions.

“There’s really only one, it’s hard to find a house near the Association in the first place.”

Then, the woman materialized a photo recorded on an artifact as a hologram.

In the old days, she had to go and check everything in person, but now technology has advanced so much that she can see the surrounding situation and colors just by looking at it.

She didn’t have to go there in person.

‘Oh…’

The exterior was a fairly ordinary two-story house that looked like someone with a lot of money would live in, but if you include the underground space, it would probably be about 30 times the size of the house she used to live in.

It’s so big.

“It looks roughly like this. The person who lived there two months ago left, and it’s been empty, so you’ll have to do some cleaning.”

Then, the woman moved her hand to zoom in on the building.

“The kitchen, living room, and simple training room are on the first floor. Of course, there’s also a bathroom.”

The first floor looked very spacious.

One side was made of glass, but it didn’t matter because there was a yard in front of it.

On the second floor, there was a space for her to sleep, a leisure space, and a guest room.

It wasn’t that it was decided, but she thought that’s how she would use it as soon as she saw it.

‘I should definitely install a computer in the leisure space.’

While she was thinking about how to decorate those spaces.

The screen moved to the basement.

“It’s up to you how you decorate this place. You can use it as a full-fledged training room, a party room, or you can remodel it and use it as a parking lot.”

A wide, empty space with no rooms.

She didn’t know about this place yet.

The most likely option was a training room.

“It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Association, and 30 minutes to A Shopping District.”

This time, she reduced the hologram to show the surrounding environment.

As she said, if you walked along the road, the Association was really nearby.

It was about 30 minutes away from A Shopping District, where the incident happened last time.

This is the best.

“Then I’ll buy it right away.”

After finishing some procedures, she bought the house right away.

The price of the house was about 7.2 billion won.

That was after a crazy discount because she was a top Hunter, an S-grade Hunter registered with the Hunter Association.

All of it was immediately withdrawn from her bank account, which had exactly 8 billion won, leaving her with 800 million won.

But that should be enough to buy all the furniture.

After buying the new house, Ha-yeon didn’t go straight home, but took out her phone and called someone.

And after a while, someone answered the phone.

“Ah, Sword Demon.”

“Sword Demon, please call me by my name.”

[Lee Seol-ah]

The person she met for the first time at the Association.

It was Lee Seol-ah.

After meeting Lee Seol-ah, a question kept arising.

‘I feel like I’ve heard of her somewhere.’

She only knew the basics, and she had only briefly glanced at anything that was even slightly famous, so she couldn’t remember well.

So she came home and searched for Lee Seol-ah, and what she saw then was shocking.

“She’s the eldest daughter of the Yuwol family?”

Yuwol family.

It wasn’t on par with Thunderclap Palace or Atlas Academy, but it was a prestigious family that would have reigned as the number one if they hadn’t existed.

If the Yuwol family and Thunderclap Palace fought, Thunderclap Palace would win, but it was clear that Thunderclap Palace would suffer devastating damage.

“The eldest daughter became an A-grade Hunter the third fastest… the second daughter is attending Elysia Academy. The youngest is still too young.”

There was a lot of information like that.

And, she called Lee Seol-ah first to build a friendship with her.

There was no harm in building relationships with high-ranking people.

[Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ agrees with that choice, saying it’s a good one.]

[Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ advises that connections and relationships are also another form of power.]

That’s what the Constellation said.

After that, they kept meeting, and now they were close enough to eat together.

Perhaps because of the common noble family setting, it was easy to become friends because she didn’t have many friends.

And now.

Ha-yeon was on her way to help Lee Seol-ah with her training at her request.
