Since they had come with the intention of training all day, the afternoon was completely lost.

In the past, if I had free time like this, I would do something else, go to a part-time job, etc.

Everyone used to do different things.

But now I’ve put all my work aside to focus on my hunter activities.

“What do we do now?”

It was truly a situation where there was nothing to do.

“Should I go home and study by looking at something like Huntube?”

Huntube.

It literally refers to YouTube channels where hunters record their raid activities or provide information about hunters.

“But I couldn’t really understand it even after looking at HuntTube. They don’t give detailed information like the instructors do.”

Actually, that part was unavoidable.

Since the instructors are paid a huge amount of money to give lectures, it was a case of helping them grow by teaching them their secrets and such.

Most of the things posted on HuntTube were barely scratch-the-scenes lectures.

Even if they made money through views or sponsorships, the amount was insufficient to reveal their secrets.

Nevertheless, the reason why hunters who make good money use hunting tubes is just to show off.

“Huntube’s main customer base is the general public, so that can’t be helped.”

Chae-yoon spoke while stroking Su-a’s grumpy head.

What she said was the exact correct answer.

Huntube, which is aimed at the general public, naturally shows stronger and more spectacular performances.

It was not responsible for the education of hunters.

“Then you can’t study, right?”

“What I asked to study was the attitude hunters take in raids and things like that.”

“Ah, that’s enough. You told me to get some rest today. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be taking classes in the afternoon anyway!”

While studying like that, it was Arin who interrupted the two people who were talking to Maniha and came in.

“Let’s take a good rest today, eat a delicious meal together for the first time in a while, and go shopping. How about it?”

Because they were always so busy trying to survive, they couldn’t even remember the last time they went out together to eat out or go shopping.

The only time we went shopping together was to go to a local supermarket and buy groceries.

“Wow, is that okay?”

Chae-yoon looked surprised.

“Anyway, we will be moving out of the room soon, and we have received a down payment. Let’s buy some props to decorate the house we’re moving into.”

If the contract had been made with another guild, Arin might have tied it up again without spending the down payment.

Because I didn’t use the down payment before, I was able to avoid getting into debt.

But this time was different.

The contract that was notarized by the Hunter Association and the court stated that the company would not take the initiative to terminate the contract with them.

As such, it was unlikely that the down payment would be recovered.

“Because I have to work hard starting tomorrow. No one will say anything if I spend my own money to change my mood.”

Nahyeon, who was listening quietly, nodded and agreed.

“I also want to go shopping after a long time. Eat delicious food too.”

“Actually, I am like that too…”

Su-a also expressed a positive opinion even though she was worried.

“Actually.. I am like that too..”

Chae-yoon was also pretending not to be like that, but of course he wanted to do that.

Eating out delicious food with my closest friends and shopping while buying things I want to have fun.

It was one of the things I always wanted to do.

Until now, they had said that they couldn’t afford even the slightest luxury because they didn’t have money.

Since they were girls who were only in their 20s, it was impossible for them not to want to enjoy the things that were available at that age.

“Then let’s all have fun together, today!”

“Wow, Arin! Then can’t we go to the amusement park too?”

Sua’s dream was to go to an amusement park with this group of people and have fun without worrying about money.

Since she had just left her student status, she liked things like amusement parks and aquariums more than others.

“The amusement park seems to be a bit difficult due to time constraints. I think I can go to the aquarium. What do you think?”

“I love the aquarium too!”

“Is everyone okay?”

I was a little concerned that it was late in the afternoon to go to the amusement park.

“Yes, it’s okay. My Sua, I wanted to go so badly, but I was heartbroken because I couldn’t take her.”

“I’m okay too.. I don’t like crowds of people, but Su-ah said she wants to go.”

“Hehe, sisters! Thank you so much!”

The youngest, Sua, has always been bright, but all three of them did not know that she held back a lot of what she wanted to do.

I used to pass it off as just being amazing that she tolerated it so well even though she was still young.

As long as I had money, it was natural to want to be able to do what I wanted to do.

“It would be really fun if we all went on a trip together later.”

“Gasp~! What a trip! i love it! I want to go on a trip to Jeju Island with my sisters!”

“What about him? What is Jeju Island all about? Later, when we make enough money, we should go on a trip abroad!”

Now we can smile and agree as we look at each other’s dreams.

In the past, no one talked about hopeful dreams.

No, I couldn’t take it out.

They were busy surviving one day at a time, and thinking about the future was a luxury for them.

But now I can really dream of the future.

I could confidently say that a brighter future awaits me.

“Then let’s go and eat first! After that, should we go to the aquarium and then go shopping?”

“Shouldn’t we go shopping first?”

“How long are you going to stay at the aquarium?”

Their steps were very light as they moved around while having small conversations.

***

Thinking of having a proper expensive meal for the first time in a long time, the girls came to Auvac, a family restaurant known for its delicious steak.

“It’s my first time coming here.”

“It’s my first time too.”

“Ah, tacky things! Are you saying you haven’t been here even once?”

“…It’s my first time too..”

Everyone except Chaeyoon looked at each other and laughed at the fact that they had never been there before.

“Well, what do you think? You can come here often from now on!”

“That’s right, Chae-yoon says she came alone! Woooo!”

“But who were you here with? parents? Boyfriend?”

“Hmm.. Should I tell you that too?”

From Chae-yoon’s significant avoidance of answering, it was possible to infer who the three people had come with.

“That’s my ex-boyfriend.”

“My ex-boyfriend.”

“Ex-boyfriend..”

“Hey, no! No! Stop talking nonsense, everyone, just pick your food!”

Chae-yoon, who dug his own grave, sighed and opened the menu.

However, it was indeed a menu she had not seen in a long time.

“I have this, this! The famous steak!”

“Tomahawk?”

“Yes! I wanted to try that once!”

“Our Sua has so many wishes.”

That’s what they said, but judging from the fact that everyone chose the tomahawk steak, it seemed like they all dreamed of trying it at least once.

“But if you order according to the number of people, it would be a bit much, right?”

I thought it would be too much to order steak for the number of people since we had to order pasta and other dishes as well.

At first, those who wanted to order according to the number of people, but later, after the food was served, they were able to understand why they said that.

“But, our Gilma. Don’t you think there’s something he’s hiding?”

Arin spoke while eating a piece of steak.

It was the first time I told the three people about the strange feeling of discomfort I had felt since the day I first saw them.

“Why Gilma? What are you hiding?”

Su-ah tilted her head as if she had no idea.

“Ah, I felt that way too. What should I say? It’s a bit hard to say, but anyway, it’s like a woman’s feeling that she’s hiding something?”

Chaeyoon agreed with Arin.

“That’s right! I felt that way too! It’s hard to express exactly what this is, but… Anyway, there’s definitely something there.”

Nahyun was just slowly considering their conversation and did not show any reaction.

“Ugh? What are these girls talking about? Then the villain who just hid a secret! Is that so?!”

“No, it didn’t feel like that.”

“Uh, I didn’t have that bad feeling either.”

As they said it was difficult to explain, the two people didn’t know what to say, but it was clear that they didn’t feel like they were villains or anything like Su-ah said.

“Just something, Gilma, you spoke really well at first. But the next day he suddenly stopped talking.”

Arin pointed out exactly what Gunwu and Seojun were worried about.

“That’s it, whatever. Since it’s the first day, maybe you’ve prepared something for what you’re going to say?”

“Well, that could be possible. Well, it’s just a feeling.”

As of now, nothing is certain.

It was a situation where it was impossible to completely say no to Su-ah’s opinion.

“Steak… It’s all cold. Don’t eat, everyone?”

Nahyun said, patting the steak.

As she said, all the delicious food was getting cold.

“Ah, yes. Let’s stop worrying about unnecessary things later and eat first!”

The women, who had come to eat delicious food and decided that they couldn’t possibly leave after eating cold meat, stopped worrying and one by one picked up their forks.

“Mmm, it’s really delicious.”

I couldn’t help but be ecstatic to eat rice prepared by someone I hadn’t eaten in a long time.
