48.

The Hunter’s Association was famous for its many rumors. Among them, the observation room was operated strictly for security reasons.

-Thank you.

“It’s nothing. I can try to persuade you. But I’d like you not to approach me for the time being.”

-Of course. I will give you enough examples.

Kang Mi-young hung up the phone. She looked at the magic mirror.

The red pupil flared.

It’s ridiculous. Even if she’s the eldest daughter who lost her power, this is too much. Trying to take someone else’s person away is completely unforgivable.

Moreover, you go into the practical exam room naked.

I’m not in my right mind.

Title: Is it because Kangcheon needs it so much that he’s holding his breath? Or is there another reason… … No. There probably isn’t another reason.

“I guess I shouldn’t contact the riverside for the time being. I didn’t know things would turn out like this······. It’s going to get quite complicated.”

Kang Mi-young let out a sigh.

It’s complicated. I wonder if I’m being tracked.

The soundproofing beyond this magic mirror is also close to perfect.

You can relax a little. Kangcheon can’t possibly know this much. It’s because it’s a shelter created by several public organizations.

You won’t find it on the blueprint. You’ll have to bring someone with you to find out.

‘Especially Kang Seo-jin. I can’t give it to her.’

That kid has a strong aftertaste.

You can be sure.

Just like herself and Kang Jin-young did. Kang Mi-young sighed. She never thought that the power of the house would come into play.

I was caught off guard.

“By the way, when is this going to end? Are you really an expert?”

The magic mirror shakes slightly.

-Nothing really happened?

-yes.

How many times has this scene been repeated?

It’s hot and humid.

While I was underground, the heat from the generator and electronic devices was higher than above ground. Because of this, my shirt was soaked with sweat and it was uncomfortable.

He threw his sweat- and blood-soaked suit coat on the back of the opposite chair.

I sat down on the iron chair on the other side.

The coat was stained with blood and smelled bad.

Monster blood not only smells bad, but also contains many toxic substances.

We need to burn it quickly or something.

“Oh my back… … Oh my gosh!!”

Knock knock knock.

Baek Min-ho walked into the observation room. He didn’t have any neat clothes on and his face was covered in blood.

“This is ridiculous.”

“Oh, I should stop talking.”

The hypothesis that he was hit by Kang Seo-jin was revealed to be true.

Pathetic guy. I didn’t train you like that. Kang Mi-young gave him a cold look.

Baek Min-ho returned after moving his suit jacket to the incinerator. Black ash was smeared all over his clothes.

“Are you here? Your face is incredible. There are emergency medicines over there, so take action at your discretion. ”

“Isn’t that too much?! I came because I felt affection for you, but you hit me in the face, and the hospital bills are still going to be high.”

“Is that too much? That doesn’t sound like something an awakened person who got hit by a normal person should say.”

Oh, Baek Min-ho rolled his eyes after hearing the answer.

“How can I win against a woman? Moreover, if an awakened person touches a normal person, he will not be able to avoid being treated like rice and beans for a while. Ah, that friend should also keep quiet. He touched the riverside materials.”

“It will be known differently to the world.”

“Yes?”

He brought an iron chair as if it was interesting.

“What are you talking about?”

“A press conference was held. They said that Hong Seo-min wrote the book.”

“The president of the association?!”

“Yeah. Cheongjinho, that human’s words are like flowing water from Cheongsan Mountain.”

The promise of Cheong Jin-ho at the press conference was to destroy all monsters in the test site and then re-culture them with new technology.

An apology and compensation were also promised.

Kang Mi-young was inwardly suspicious. Cheong Jin-ho had taken a strong risk, unlike others.

There is a reason. Of course, it is a stability issue.

Hong Seo-min created this whole situation! That’s why he got away leisurely.

“You’re like a snake.”

Kang Mi-young blurted out a word.

“… … .”

I can’t say anything. It’s true. Baek Min-ho coughed and turned his gaze away.

Public opinion flowed rather well. After all, this is a country like this.

If you just hit your head a few times and let the water flow out, it will be forgotten in no time.

That’s what people thought.

Stimulus is blocked by another stimulus. It is an extremely efficient idea.

“By the way, when will it end?”

“Why? Do you want to get some money? I can pay a certain amount for the medical examination fee. Because we have a long history.”

“I’m good at making money. Not the little things. I want to talk about physical abilities and such. Isn’t it amazing? ”

Kang Mi-young stretched out her entire body on the chair like a puffed-up seaweed. As if telling me to listen quietly.

-Nothing happened?

-sure.

-Really? You’re not lying?

I remembered the name of Lee Seonghan.

Even if there was something going on, it was something I did to protect the child. Rather, I deserve to be praised. I repeated those words like a parrot.

-Is that kid going to pounce on you because you like control?

-… … ?

-You don’t have any muscles, and your face is like that. If you look at Stargram, you only see couples with good-looking men and women. There’s no way they’d be interested in a half-baked person like me.

Kang Jin-young scans his entire body after hearing the speech.

He made a face that said I was almost crazy.

“… … Are you really not aware of it?”

Kang Mi-young also heard a few words from afar.

“That’s right. He’s a half-and-half friend, but he has a slightly pointy head. I should write it down or something.”

There is no such man anywhere.

He is competent and has a good personality.

This is what the rational person said beyond the magic mirror.

-I am an awakened person and a soldier of the Republic of Korea… I just did my job.

Lee Seong-han’s lips were wriggling like an earthworm.

It became even more distorted, especially when the word ‘military’ was mentioned.

The corners of Kang Mi-young’s mouth slowly rose.

It must mean positive things.

Of course.

The Republic of Korea Armed Forces is one of the top five superpowers – a ranking that is questionable as other countries are being destroyed.

There’s no way I’d hate it. I give you food and money, you know. Hmm.

“… … .”

Baek Min-ho glared at Kang Mi-young for a moment. Soon, he came to the conclusion that ‘there’s no communication’ and closed his lips as if he had put glue on them.

‘Hmm. I guess you want a Hunter Management Bureau that is more uniform and guarantees self-discipline than the military’s command structure. Hmm.’

Kang Mi-young nodded while wiping away sweat.

I can say for sure that it is a much freer atmosphere than the National Intelligence Service.

Absolutely, absolutely not because Kang Jin-young is affiliated with the National Intelligence Service.

If Lee Seong-han were affiliated with the Hunter Management Bureau, he could share it at any time.

Because he is merciful.

But only with your permission. You never know what they might do, so why open your eyes and close your nose?

I focused on the conversation in the magic mirror again.

-But, isn’t it ‘common sense’ for a male awakener to lose to a normal woman? Last time, a man in his 40s was beaten by a high school girl.

-Am I that old?

-Ah······No, that’s not what I meant hahaha.

The interrogation room’s Kang Jin-young spoke properly.

– Think about it. You can’t win against Seonghan. Besides, if they take your gun away from you, you never know what they might do to you!

-No way. Let’s try it.

-yes?

Lee Seong-han grabbed Kang Jin-young’s arm and pushed him to the floor.

-to?

-See? I won! Haha!

The persuasion was somehow concluded successfully.

“… … .”

Kang Mi-young’s expression didn’t brighten at all.

***

The conversation ended well. Lee Seong-han wiped his forehead and left the association.

The sunset was thick outside. Fortunately, the streets were peaceful. Lee Seong-han headed to the nearest station with his luggage full.

“Ugh.”

I almost died! Seriously.

Lee Seong-han let out a sigh.

I somehow mustered up my strength and defeated Kang Jin-young. Thanks to that, I was able to get out early.

Even while walking, my left arm, which had been holding down the container, started to hurt. I had also focused my mana on that arm to strengthen it.

Because if I hadn’t done that, I would have worried again.

Shh-

Shh-

As soon as we arrived at the bus stop, we found a familiar doll.

“······.”

“······.”

It was Baek Min-ho.

Their silent gazes crossed. Her face was a lump of bandage and gauze. Anyone who saw her would have thought she was a mummy.

I just ignored it without paying any attention.

“Kehem.”

“Hmm.”

I waited awkwardly for the bus.

As word began to spread that the bus was delayed, people at the stop suddenly disappeared one by one.

The two of them finally met. I don’t know what to say in this awkward atmosphere.

“Haa. What a tiring day. I got hit in the face and you were held for hours. ”

Baek Min-ho scratched the ball.

“I don’t care. I’m on vacation.”

“Ah, I got it too. Do you still have it? I was drinking a lot back then. It wasn’t a bad experience. Well, a week later, the gates opened one after another and I almost died. Hehe. ”

Awakening soldiers receive one week of vacation during the promotion exam period.

One week.

It’s been a whole week. Lee Seonghan swallowed his saliva.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. What can I do with this? I should just finish my promotion exam and go home to see my face.

“Is your face okay? I heard you got hit.”

“Ah.”

Baek Min-ho wiped the blood flowing from his nose with his arm.

“This is what happened when I fell. There is a secluded railing not far from the operator’s room. There are stairs in a row. ”

“Why the murder case there… … .”

That’s crazy talk.

“No, no, no. How could that be? I was talking to the young person. Right when we were finishing talking, I tripped. Ugh. ”

“The gown was taken away then?”

Baek Min-ho shook his whole body as if he didn’t want to remember.

“That’s right. It’s really cold there, isn’t it? I promised myself not to make the child suffer. Oh, by the way, the bus hasn’t come yet.”

“It’s almost time to go home.”

Lee Seong-han carried a large backpack.

“Oh, right. What on earth is in that bag? It must be something big if you can tell the Major, ‘Absolutely not’?”

Tiring.

An announcement rang out that a bus was coming into the stop. I don’t want to reveal it.

Lee Seong-han smiled faintly.

“······Let’s just call it the number of swallows.”

“Spleen number?”

“Yes.”

Squeak.

The bus stops.

It was an orange bus with the letter A written on the side. The sunset and the colors overlapped, giving it a strange vividness. Baek Min-ho also got on after him.

Although it was an unmanned bus, there were only himself and Baek Min-ho, and a few passengers in the back seats.

-I’m a military service member. 50% discount!

Yay!

We need to have this kind of welfare policy. Baek Min-ho, who was following behind, looked somewhere and then hurriedly got off.

“Oh, don’t you feel sorry?”

“I, I’ll take the next bus. Come to think of it, it’s not this route. Hahahaha! ”

That could be the case. That’s how Lee Seong-han broke up with Baek Min-ho.

…

…

…

“Yes, I will.”

Baek Min-ho clicked his tongue as he watched the bus disappear into thin air.

“Kang Seo-jin followed.”
