Chapter 43 The Saint Gets Dragged to a Motel

My ex-girlfriend Yoo Eun-ha, whom I’ve been running into frequently lately.

Every time I meet Yoo Eun-ha, I feel that these encounters are just too exhausting in various ways.
Of course, with the Hero’s body, I don’t feel physical fatigue or anything like that, but in terms of emotional drain, it’s impossible to ignore.

The feeling of mental exhaustion is strong.

Given that 7 years is definitely not a light amount of time, this relationship feels quite heavy to completely ignore Yoo Eun-ha.

I think if Yoo Eun-ha shows up like that again, I’ll probably readily offer kindness once more.

However, that doesn’t mean I have lingering attachments to my relationship with Yoo Eun-ha.

I can be certain of this now—I no longer love Yoo Eun-ha.

I’m just trying to help my ex-girlfriend because I pity her, not because I’m suggesting we get back together.

To begin with, I’m a man who was dumped by Yoo Eun-ha in an absurd manner.

When Yoo Eun-ha was an F-class hunter, I was an A-class hunter.

The fact that someone like me dated Yoo Eun-ha was, in reality, completely nonsensical.

I was the one who took F-class hunter Yoo Eun-ha to this gate and that gate, calling ourselves lovers.

Furthermore.

After Yoo Eun-ha awakened late and became S-class, I quit being a hunter and became Yoo Eun-ha’s manager.

I supported her more diligently than anyone and didn’t shy away from difficult tasks.

And even as Yoo Eun-ha’s attitude grew increasingly arrogant and cocky, I understood and accepted it.

No matter what, she was the girlfriend I loved.

Thinking she would still love me despite everything.

Even when she treated me rudely, I endured it.

But despite my devoted lifestyle, I ended up getting dumped by Yoo Eun-ha.

In truth, among all the people in this world, I might have been the one who most wished for Yoo Eun-ha’s downfall.

My hatred for Yoo Eun-ha might be greater than other people’s hatred for her.

I’m completely fed up with Yoo Eun-ha’s personality too.

Actually, I’m in a position where I felt severely betrayed by Yoo Eun-ha.

After supporting her diligently for 7 years, being notified of our breakup so one-sidedly still remains a wound in my heart.

Nevertheless, the reason I care about Yoo Eun-ha isn’t because of feelings like love, but purely out of sympathy.

When I actually saw Yoo Eun-ha fallen and living in a wretched state, my heart naturally softened.

The feeling of anger cooled down quickly, and in the end, only sympathy remained.

And it might be right to express it as somehow being unable to leave her alone because of that sympathy.

Though it’s vexing that she dumped me, having dated for 7 years, I hope she does well even after breaking up.

No, to be honest, I don’t really hope she does well, but I do hope she doesn’t live too difficult a life.

Some people might say my heart is too weak for this.

But I feel this is natural as someone who dated her for 7 years.

Having dated for such a significant amount of time, no matter how unpleasantly we broke up, we inevitably ended up in a love-hate relationship.

Even if the breakup was terrible.

‘What if I had continued dating Yoo Eun-ha?’

I thought about it briefly.

The situation where I hadn’t broken up with Yoo Eun-ha.

If that had happened, Yoo Eun-ha’s company might not have gone bankrupt.

This is just a hypothetical…

She might not have ended up living so miserably.

“Sigh. What’s the point of thinking about it.”

But I quickly dismissed the thought.

There’s no meaning in me having these thoughts anyway.

We’ve already broken up, and Yoo Eun-ha has lost her ability.

Her company naturally went bankrupt.

So I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Such meaningless thoughts.

Gulp.

After Yoo Eun-ha left the restaurant, I ordered some alcohol.

And I’m drinking it glass by glass.

Even though I won’t get drunk anyway, I’m drinking to try to feel a bit better.

And as I kept drinking, somehow I began to feel slightly intoxicated.

Despite having a body that doesn’t respond to alcohol at all.

It wasn’t a bad feeling.

“Hero… here…!”

Coincidentally, I have a drinking companion.

Looking to the side, a beautiful woman with blonde hair in a nun’s habit.

Reytana is holding onto my arm and diligently pouring me drinks.

Reytana.

Reytana is not unaware of the relationship between Yoo Eun-ha and Si-woo.

As the guild master of the large guild, the Order,

As the Rank 5 S-class hunter,

As a hunter known as the Saint,

Her information network is quite extensive.

Naturally, she knows very well about the relationship between Yoo Eun-ha and Si-woo.

In fact, the relationship between Yoo Eun-ha and Si-woo isn’t that secretive.

Ordinary people wouldn’t have any way of knowing,

But most people who work in the Hunter Association would inevitably know about Yoo Eun-ha and Si-woo’s relationship.

The love story of Si-woo and Yoo Eun-ha is quite intense.

The meeting of an F-class hunter and an A-class hunter, a loving relationship that lasted 7 years.

A relationship that continued even after the F-class hunter awakened as an S-class hunter.

With its storyline and emotional impact, this story is quite famous.

And knowing all this, Reytana feels this situation is quite unfortunate.

About Yoo Eun-ha dumping Si-woo, and Yoo Eun-ha’s subsequent downfall.

Seeing this, Reytana felt that one never knows how a person’s fate will turn out.

She felt that fate is truly fickle.

But.

That’s one thing.

Right now, Reytana shouldn’t be thinking about that, but should be moving diligently.

Reytana is not in a position to bestow pity.

Because she, too, is equally hated by Si-woo.

‘This might be an opportunity.’

Reytana knows that normally, Si-woo would never drink alcohol she poured.

But now, Si-woo is readily accepting the drinks she offers.

Reytana could tell. That Si-woo’s current state is quite weakened.

After talking with Yoo Eun-ha, Si-woo’s expression was quite gloomy.

Reytana could sense that he clearly had something weighing on his mind.

Reytana felt that she needed to seize this moment, right now.

Reytana could feel that if she makes a good impression on Si-woo at this moment, her favorability would rise dramatically.

“Hero. Here…!”

Reytana is holding onto Si-woo’s arm and pouring him drinks.

Natural skinship. Reytana tightly grips Si-woo’s arm with her breasts.

With a loyal expression, Reytana refilled the glass every time Si-woo drank.

To earn points somehow.

“Isn’t Yoo Eun-ha a really bad woman?”

Also, she tried to comfort Si-woo somehow.

While tightly holding his arm, she continued criticizing Yoo Eun-ha.

There was no response from Si-woo, but that didn’t matter at all.

“To dump Hero, she really has no eye for quality. When Hero is handsome and capable…!”

Reytana continued praising Si-woo.

She described exactly how she viewed Si-woo.

“Hero is much more precious…!”

Reytana’s efforts to improve Si-woo’s mood continued.

Gulp.

And while silently listening to Reytana’s words, Si-woo just kept downing glasses of soju.

‘But this… am I really scoring points?’

Reytana felt slightly worried watching this.

There was almost no change in Si-woo’s expression.

Despite Reytana tightly holding his arm and diligently pouring drinks, Si-woo didn’t seem particularly pleased or anything.

Without expressing any emotion, he just silently drank.

‘What if… I’m actually being hated more?’

Reytana was struck by an ominous feeling.

What if her actions to gain points actually made his mood worse?

If so, what she did was worse than doing nothing.

Reytana continued to worry.

“Hey. Reytana.”

And while having these ominous thoughts, Si-woo called out to Reytana.

“Yes…!”

Reytana answered immediately.

And with an anxious heart, she waited for Si-woo’s words.

Reytana couldn’t help but worry whether he might say something harsh to her.

Swallowing nervously, she prepared to hear his response.

“Why are you so cute?”

However, contrary to Reytana’s worries, Si-woo didn’t say such things.

No, rather, he uttered words that Reytana had never expected.

She realized Si-woo was complimenting her.

‘Whoa… he said I’m cute…?!’

And hearing those words, Reytana’s heart suddenly raced.

She never thought she would hear such a direct compliment.

Reytana was surprised at how effective her words had been.

“I’ve always been cute. You just realized it now?”

Reytana pressed her body even closer to Si-woo.

She also showed a bright smiling expression while looking at Si-woo.

Reytana’s mood right now was extremely good.

Until just a while ago, this man didn’t see her as a woman, but now he even calls her cute.

Reytana’s sense of achievement was indescribable.

Feeling so good, Reytana rubbed her cheeks against Si-woo’s arm like a cat.

“Hehehehehe.”

Reytana knows that this is a very small change in the situation.

But for Reytana, this change was quite significant.

Since the emotional gap between Reytana and Si-woo was quite deep, Reytana was satisfied with the current change.

Reytana’s goal is to someday be taken by the Hero.

Her dream was to be ravished on a bed.

So even if not right now, she thinks that maybe if she seduces him slowly, slowly, he might give in someday.

But.

She could achieve her goal faster than expected.

Si-woo immediately dragged Reytana somewhere.

At first, Reytana didn’t know where they were going, but soon she could tell.

“Huh…?”

The place where Reytana was dragged by Si-woo was a motel.

Reytana’s expression showed clear signs of bewilderment.
