For the first time in my life, I have a girlfriend.

No, I have girlfriends.

Santoto and Forest Toto, Isabella and Seo Yi-eung, Cha Seol-yu and Hanabi.

The day I acquired my official hunter license.

The six women accepted my reckless confession, and we have been dating ever since that day.

And as time passed, the day arrived when the 67th class, one class below us, entered school.

‘Let’s go soon.’

When I opened the door and went out, Isabella, who was leaning against the wall in the hallway, smiled brightly and waved.

“Huh? Were you waiting up front? Just come inside and wait.”

“If you go in and wait, it feels like something is urging you on.”

Isabella recently moved into this building.

And that’s in the room right next to mine.

At first, I thought it would be a good idea to all live together, but I decided that it was still too early to live together even if I was dating on the assumption of marriage, so I put it off until later.

“That’s right, Ha Hwi. I told my mom yesterday that we were dating.”

“Really? And dating multiple people at the same time?”

“I told you everything. I had the courage to say it because I had to reveal it someday anyway. Because you can’t suddenly talk about it when you’re getting married.”

“Didn’t your mother object?”

“Of course I was against it at first. He was angry and said that polygamy was absolutely not possible, but when I sent him a picture of Ha Hwi’s face via text, he immediately understood it as if he had never been opposed to it.”

“You were convinced after seeing the picture of my face…?”

“He said a man of this caliber would understand.”

“···Really? Thank goodness.”

Isabella and I chatted and walked down the stairs and out of the building.

Cha Seol-yu was seen on the bench in front of the yard.

Of course, I wasn’t drinking like I used to.

She was neatly dressed in a Salvation Hunter-specific outfit.

I was carefully inspecting the magic tools that were usually lined up.

He looked like he was in the middle of getting ready for work.

“You came out early? A store you stopped by at the entrance ceremony?”

Cha Seol-yu found us and asked.

“Yes. I’m just going to light my face for a moment and go.”

I answered.

For your information, as they became lovers, they started talking to not only Santoto and Forest Toto but also Cha Seol-yu.

Because you can’t always use honorifics between lovers.

Of course, there are couples who use polite language, but I don’t like that because it’s uncomfortable.

“Should we stop by the entrance ceremony and then go straight to the dungeon? Don’t get hurt and travel safely.”

After Cha Seol-yu and I finished our conversation and exchanged greetings.

Isabella also slightly bowed her head to Cha Seol-yu and greeted him lightly.

There was no significant conversation between the two.

It was because their relationship was still awkward.

Someday we will become friends.

There was no need to worry because it was a problem that would be resolved with time.

***

The road to the academy.

He joined Seo Yi-eung at the halfway point.

“Ha. Isabella, I really envy you. I also want to move to Hawhee’s building…”

Seo Yi-eung originally wanted to move into our building.

However, due to family opposition, the plan was aborted.

Her mother gave permission, but her father was strongly opposed to it.

“My dad is really annoying. If my dad is a pure lover who only looks at my mom, I won’t say anything. He himself is polygamous and has several wives other than my mother, so why is he objecting when his daughter says she will date a man who wants to practice polygamy? It’s not like I’m in the middle of nowhere.”

Seo Yi-eung’s father was in the position that he could not allow his daughter to become the lover of a man who practiced polygamy. Contrary to expectations, there was no significant opposition from Isabella’s family, but the real problem was Seo Yi-eung’s family.

Still, he reluctantly allowed the relationship.

This was because Seo Yi-eung got so angry at his father that he was going to run away from home.

It will take a lot of persuasion to get permission to marry later.

Well, that’s something to think about later.

Anyway, since I’m not a B-level hunter right now, I can’t get married even if I wanted to.

After barely calming down the grumbling Seo Yi-eung.

We arrived at the academy, changing topics of conversation and chatting a lot.

“You’re here. Carrot.”

“The entrance ceremony is over. Lotus root.”

The rabbits that were waiting for us at the academy’s main gate came hopping.

Santoto and Forest Toto each had a ribbon on one ear.

It was a ribbon that I had given as a gift not long ago.

In fact, it was a gift given without much meaning, but the rabbits wore it carefully every day, as if it were a token of their lover.

As a side note, they say they plan to work at the academy until we officially graduate, and after that, they plan to give up their positions as professors and instructors and continue their hunter activities with us.

“Hanabi hasn’t come out yet, so let’s go to the main auditorium. Carrot.”

As we followed Santoto toward the main auditorium, the number of eyes on us began to increase.

Every time I walk on the Academy grounds.

Curious eyes followed us, especially female students.

There are only a few female students who glance at each other.

Most of the female students were openly staring at my face.

“Wow. That person is very handsome…”

“Seeing as he wasn’t at the entrance ceremony, I guess he’s a new student.”

“Uh-huh! Even if you’re a freshman, you don’t know our 17th Academy’s mascot! His name is Kang Ha-hwi, and he is a senior who is currently enrolled in the 66th class! Keep it clearly in your mind!”

“Why is this guy keeping track of information on seniors from the first day of admission?”

“Is that person Kang Ha-hwi? I think I’ve heard it before. Just like the rumors say, he’s really handsome.”

“You look much better in person than in the photo?”

“Where did you see the photo…?”

“I think it was a good thing I entered this academy…”

“I actually came here to see that oppa.”

“Anyway, the 66th group is only practicing dungeons now, so we won’t encounter anything.”

“Still, I will come to the academy sometimes.”

“Hey. Should I go and ask for your number?”

“Arthur, will you give it to me?”

“You never know.”

“I don’t know what I don’t know. And there are girlfriends next to me, so will you give me your number?”

“Are those people your girlfriends? Crazy, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a man dating multiple women… As expected, the man with the mystery is different, right? But then, isn’t there a possibility that I could join that oppa’s girlfriend?”

“Not at all.”

The sound of female students murmuring can be heard.

It felt like I was back at the entrance ceremony last year.

But the person I was then and the person I am now were different.

Because I was no longer afraid of the gazes of countless female students. Rather, I was able to enjoy this situation.

Unlike me, who didn’t pay much attention to eye contact, Seo Yi-eung glared at the female students and frowned.

“Why are you looking at other men? Should I pull out all my eyeballs?”

“Hold on Lee Eung-ah.”

If it weren’t for Isabella’s dissuasion.

It was like he was really going to rip out the female students’ eyeballs.

That’s how cruel his expression was.

As I continued walking and arrived in front of the main auditorium, I found Hanabi looking around her head timidly.

It seemed like it had just come out.

Hanabi was originally a student of the 65th class.

However, due to the trauma he experienced while attending school, he eventually chose to drop out.

Meanwhile, Hanabi, who was inspired by me, mustered up courage and re-entered the 67th class with the help of rabbits.

“Huh? Ha, Ha-hwi!”

Hanabi also found us.

Hanabi, who had been cowering, straightened her shoulders and approached with a confident stance, taking slow steps. I felt like I gained confidence because we were there.

“For a moment, I thought I saw something wrong. Ha-hwi, why did you come here?”

“Why are you coming? I came here to congratulate you on your admission.”

“Really? Thank you…”

A smile appeared on Hanabi’s lips.

Her face was filled with pure happiness, with her eyes sparkling with joy.

When I saw that expression.

I think it was a good idea to stop by here briefly before going to dungeon practice.

“Can’t you see us, carrot?”

“I came to see you, but I feel sad. Lotus root.”

“Ah. Thank you, professor and instructor, for coming. Thank you Isabella and Lee Eung for coming too.”

Hanabi bows her head slightly to express her gratitude.

I tapped her shoulder and spoke.

“Butterfly. This time, don’t give up and work hard.”

“Yes. This time, I will never drop out and work hard!”

“Yes. And if you get traumatized again, tell me. Because I will help you overcome it.”

We are lovers now, so you can rely on me at any time.

When I added those words, Hanabi nodded with tears in her eyes.

After repeatedly congratulating Hanabi on her readmission and giving her warm hugs and words of encouragement, we moved on and headed to the dungeon, where we would practice today.

Now, not as a prospective hunter, but as a full-fledged hunter.

*

“My boyfriend Ha-hwi!”

Hanabi’s loud voice came from far away, behind me.

Hanabi was waving her arms widely at me.

The eyes of the other female students looking at Hanabi were full of envy.

Hanabi paid no heed to those stares and shouted even louder.

“I will try my best to become a girlfriend that you are not ashamed of! I won’t even eat rice anymore!!!”
