episode_0037

On the day I took the promotion test with the help of Sister Helena, the news of my promotion to 3rd Dan spread widely along with the video I recorded.

And of course, I was constantly contacted by people trying to get around me again. Damn South Korea, there is absolutely no protection for personal information.

Tiring!

[Subject: The U.S. Department of State congratulates Hunter Hyunseong Park on his promotion to 3rd Dan.]

[Content: Hello, Helena Wingsford Hunter. Upon hearing that your priest, Hunter Park Hyun-seong, was promoted to 3rd Dan, we in the United States were able to confirm once again that our belief that Park Hyun-seong, who is also called a genius, would leave behind such achievements was not wrong. If you need to discuss anything related to the United States, the U.S. Department of State is always ready to work with Helena Hunter and Park Hyun-seong Hunter… ]

At first glance, Helena’s smartphone had a text message written on it that looked like it had come from the U.S. State Department.

“Ao writes. Another spam text, you bastards.”

“Sorry, sister. Just because of me… ”

“It’s not our proud priests who should be sorry, but the guys who are sending texts like this. These bastards are obvious too. Since you and I are American citizens, you’re just taking a stab at it for no reason. Because it’s the same, really.”

I just feel sorry for Helena, who put her smartphone in her pocket in frustration.

As expected, the day after the news came out, I received calls from all sorts of places. Did I have anything to do with this place? How on earth did this place know my contact information and contact me? There were places I wanted to go too.

Of course, there were places that had a deep connection with me before, but I ignored them all. Because there were no people I should be thankful for.

Among them, there were some that talked about grace while referring to things that had been taught to me in the past, so I blocked out all of those things. At that time, they said there was no need to feel any burden, so what the fuck. I didn’t even want to see it.

That’s why I asked for Sarah’s understanding that I wouldn’t be able to contact her for a day or two through dimensional random chat. I didn’t want to get upset by text messages from strange people while I was having a good conversation with her.

Sarah coolly accepted this and understood. He said he’s been like that more than once.

Well, he probably went through more of these things than I did, and definitely not less. I’m glad I have a very understanding girlfriend.

“Anyway, isn’t the room uncomfortable or something? I guess I’m not the type of person who’s good at cleaning or anything like that… ”

“Not at all. On the contrary, it would have been fun if it was more fun because it reminded me of the past. My sister is good at everything, but she’s also bad at housework.”

“Mi, I’m sorry! I couldn’t even get married because I couldn’t do housework, so I couldn’t even have a boyfriend before!!”

No, I didn’t go as far as saying that.

I left the old villa I was currently living in for a while and found myself in the penthouse where my older sister Helena lived.

My older sister suggested it first, saying that if it were where I lived, this person or that person would definitely come to ask about guild recruitment. I thought that was right, so I was the first to gratefully accept it. Since we live in a mountainous area, various merchants are coming into our house, so I guess recruiting them to a guild isn’t the same thing.

So, since I didn’t have anything to take home, I packed only a few clothes and a few other belongings and went straight to Gangnam, where Helena’s sister lived.

She, who was no different from the representative of a self-made family, smiled brightly and opened the door to me and introduced her house.

-Now, look how much the place where this sister lives has changed! Ta-la-cha-la-cha… Uh, uh… ?

However, what was there was a house so dirty that one wondered if it was inhabited by humans or animals. Anyone can see that this is what happens when a woman living alone doesn’t keep her house in order.

Helena, who had enjoyed singing a song from a TV program about building a new house among the TV programs she watched as a child, froze as soon as she opened the door.

I guess he himself was so happy to see me after such a long time that he couldn’t think about his family at that moment yesterday. Seeing how he showed the house with such confidence.

“No, it has nothing to do with not being able to clean up the house or get a boyfriend. That can happen if a popular A-level hunter is busy.”

“Well, still! All men want a woman who is good at cooking, tidying up the house, and is pure and homely! Me too, I know! I am far from that type of woman!”

“What nonsense. That’s prejudice. At least I’m not that kind of person.”

“Well, yeah… ?”

If I’m better at cleaning the house or cooking than most women, I’m good at it, I’m not bad at it. Since my parents passed away, I had to do things on my own since I was young, and I knew that a healthy body comes from good food, so I was serious about learning how to cook.

Of course, it is a fact that there are many men whose ideal type is that kind of woman. And even if they are not my ideal type, there are not many men who dislike such women, and I tend to like them too.

But that doesn’t mean Helena isn’t popular.

When I was young, how many times did I receive requests from both men and women to deliver love letters to my sister-in-law, Helena? And when she walked with her sister Helena on the street, there were countless men who approached her. Of course, they were all completely destroyed.

“Well, then Hyunseong. What is your ideal type? ”

I don’t know why, but Helena was blushing and was about to ask me something,

Sigh…

“Well, we’ve arrived, sir!”

“Ah, thank you. Here is the card.”

Because I arrived at the dungeon gate, I couldn’t hear what was said because I was busy calculating.

“So, sister, what were you trying to ask?”

“Oh, no! I’m going to enter the dungeon gate, so I wanted to ask if you were thoroughly prepared! Check if there is anything strange on your body.”

Ah, that was it. It’s somehow strange… I think he said something, but I guess he was trying to ask if there was anything strange about his body.

“Of course. I wish it was better than yesterday, but it wasn’t bad at all.”

“Good! Then let’s go! I won’t touch you at all and just take pictures, so feel free to go wild!”

We got off the taxi and arrived at the Dungeon Gate office on one side of Gangwon-do.

After simply gathering our equipment, we proceeded with the formalities at the office in front of the gate.

“A-level hunter Helena Wingsford, B-level hunter Park Hyun-seong. Two minutes. We have confirmed that you have made a reservation to enter gate codenamed KB-32. however… Can’t you see the person in charge of supplies? If it’s okay, can I introduce you to a business nearby?”

“No, it’s okay. There is an artifact related to the material.”

“Aha! okay. All right. Then, please do your best to clear out the dungeon gate! Thank you!”

After finishing my conversation with the employee and leaving the office, Helena asked me with a puzzled expression.

“Artifact? Was there such a thing? Our priest was richer than I thought. I only have one artifact given to me by my teacher and about three that I got while working.”

In fact, there is no such thing as an artifact. But I have an inventory.

The size of 10m*10m*10m is enough to fit several containers. Of course, there is no better artifact than this in relation to the corpses of monsters. At best, modern magic can only make things lighter or smaller.

Of course, that alone is great, but if you have an inventory, you don’t have to feel the weight at all and you don’t have to worry about storage issues at all. I experimented with this for a while and found that I didn’t have to worry about storing the items.

Therefore, I put all the food and supplies I would need for a long time in my inventory, just in case. Fortunately, even though I am not rich, I was able to quickly obtain items worth several million won. I thought it was no problem at all since I was going to make a lot of money in the future.

Once again feeling grateful for the power of the 3D random chat app, I gave Helena a quick look around.

“It was given to me by my teacher a long time ago. Don’t be in trouble because you can’t go somewhere to kill monsters and collect loot.”

“That’s right… Tsk. Instead of giving something valuable to his female student, he gave something ugly, like a sword. Our teacher, now that I see it, don’t you think it was too much?”

Isn’t it usually something you pass on to a more important student? ? At the very least, I think you gave the optimal artifact as a gift to your older sister, who was supposed to take over the teacher’s position.

While talking about various things, we stood in front of the gate with blue light fluttering in the air.

“Wow, this is the dungeon gate of the master’s world. “I can feel the magical power related to the dimension?”

｢Ho… There are monsters affected by magical power here. All right, contractor! Now is the beginning of the first battle that will exalt the name of this future Water Spirit King, Intermediate Spirit Undine!”

“human. Dungeon. gate. interest.”

“Whoa! I can feel the wind related to magical power! Although it feels a little bad because the wind is created from magical power, it still feels good because they are the wind too! It seems to smell a little salty, is it because of my mood? Ehehe… ｣

While I was talking to Helena for the first time in a while, the spirits who played among themselves and looked after me seemed to be interested again when they saw something new. The reactions in front of the gate, such as sniffing or touching the air, were not much different from the reactions that children in this world have when they see the gate.

“Huh? Hyunseong, what are you doing? Why don’t you go in quickly? Our priest, are you nervous or something?”

“No. For a moment, I was thrilled to enter the B-rank dungeon gate. You won’t be able to feel this feeling again, so just stay like this for a while.”

“What is it? Our priest, Hyeonseong, has become quite emotional while we haven’t seen each other. Did this help you attract women? Is that it? Huh?”

I shrugged my shoulders at Helena’s joke and waited until the curious spirits lost interest in the dungeon gate. For some reason, when I was walking, I felt like I was waiting for the dogs to be interested in the trees or grass for a long time, so I felt like my tension was relieved a lot.

“Okay, let’s go in, everyone.”

“What is everyone? We’re the only ones here. It seems that our priest Hyeonseong, who is called the genius of the returning century, is not yet relaxed about the first high-level dungeon, ugh~.”

I spoke to the spirits without realizing it, and Helena, who thought I was talking to myself, pinched my cheek and tried to make me relax.

｢Aaaah! My master, you’re cute when you’re nervous! Always cute!”

“Hey, don’t be afraid, contractor! This undine will be with you, so you can enjoy my power without any worries. Uhuhu… ｣

“human. nervous. doesn’t exist. misunderstanding. everyone. fool.”

“Hyunseong, were you nervous? Then me too! I want to be nervous too! But what is tension? I saw on TV yesterday that they were advertising something called soy sauce. Is it similar to that? Hahaha! What are they saying! Me too!”

Shriel… Where did you learn such strange things in such a short period of time?

The spirits around me, pulling me and playing with me, put a smile on my face.

This definitely makes me feel like I’m going out on a date with my wife with the kids. Just by looking at the outside, it certainly seems like that. Of course, spirits are invisible, and Sister Helle is not my girlfriend.

But since I can see them, wouldn’t it be okay for me to have these delusions on my own?

“Thank you, sister Helena. Thanks to you, I feel a bit more relaxed.”

“…It’s bland, hehe. You can lean on me anytime! Samae will definitely take care of you for the rest of your life!”

Feeling grateful to my sister Helena who encouraged me, I took steps toward the blue glowing cluster of lights for the first time in a long time.

* * *

“Are you ready? Did you take all the video shooting equipment and supplies?”

“Yes, Miss Heejin. The guild only brought the best products, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Reporters were also waiting outside. We made it so that you can present it as soon as you finish your strategy.”

At the time when Hanseong was trying to attack the B-class dungeon gate solo,

Kim Hee-jin was also preparing to solo attack a B-class dungeon owned by the Daehan Guild.

“Damn… I can’t fall behind on something like that. I need to turn at least a little bit of attention towards myself.”

Last night, the news of Hyeonseong’s promotion to 3rd dan spread around the world through the news, and of course the news reached the ears of her father, the guild leader of the Daehan Guild.

-Stupid. That’s why I said, let’s make some connections. I don’t know about magic, but his talent in other areas is genius, so I’m sure he can find some use for it somewhere.

‘Fuck… Even his father praises him. When I broke off my engagement, I was happy because they could use me for other families or for political purposes… !’

Crackling… !

Grinding her teeth, Kim Hee-jin gripped her rapier tightly.

Although he doesn’t want to admit it, Park Hyun-seong’s talents, excluding magic, were innate. Wasn’t Park Hyeon-seong the one who invented the rapier technique using wind magic, which was her symbol?

But she thought she had achieved everything because she was superior. Although Park Hyun-seong had some help, he ultimately attributed it to his own efforts and talent that allowed him to rise to a high position.

“…I’ll show you. That I am more talented than Park Hyun-seong and that I will rise higher than that bitch Yoo Seon-hwa.”

Therefore, she wanted to make her name known to the world again by soloing the B-level dungeon gate.

Among B-class hunters, she wanted to prove her excellence by succeeding spectacularly, saying that only those hunters who were promoted to the highest level, that is, A-class hunters, could do it.

His own excellence, not that of Park Hyun-seong or Yoo Seon-hwa.

“Let’s leave soon, lady. If anything happens, I will take charge of it.”

“Good. I can only trust Hunter Choi. Please only come out in emergency situations. Oh, if you’re confident you won’t be caught, it’s okay to slightly weaken the monsters outside of the camera.”

With burning eyes, she walked briskly toward the gate.

Cheesy…

“Uh… what. For some reason, the end of the gate seems strangely black… ”

During Kim Hee-jin’s solo dungeon raid, there was a moment when the porter carrying the monster’s by-products was a little puzzled by the unusual state of the dungeon gate.

However, Kim Hee-jin, who was anxious, had no time to watch the porter take his time.

“You can’t run fast! I know that if my record is delayed because someone like you is late, I can take responsibility even with my life! I want to get fired right away!”

“Sorry, sorry! I’ll be there right away!”

“Tsk… This is why cloth things… ”

Was it because of Kim Hee-jin’s greed based on her blind goal?

Cheesy…

Neither Kim Hee-jin, the A-class hunter leading her, nor the porter could hear the sound of something black waving at the edge of the blue gate.
