Surrounding the glass table in the living room. Me and five women were sitting around.

The air pressure seems strange only around here. In the suffocating air, I glanced at Chae Seo-ah, the main culprit who was creating this atmosphere.

She closed her eyes tightly and let out a long sigh every few seconds. The clenched fist on my knee trembled intermittently.

She raises her hand. He pointed with his fingertip at Soyo sitting next to him. He speaks with a chewy pronunciation and an unwilling voice.

“This is vegetables. my… This is my real sister.”

Vegetables. When I was in elementary school, my nickname was vegetable, or Vegeta.

“But clearly, the documents just say it’s necessary… .”

Chae Seo-ah sighed.

“… Because it was destroyed at the family register.”

“Is that possible?”

“In this country, there is nothing a powerful hunter can’t do.”

Behind the term ‘hunter powerhouse’, there was a country that did everything it could to maintain its position.

Your parents were hunters. Rather than being happy to learn something new about Chae Seo-ah, I was more concerned about what she had done to get her kicked out of the family register.

“You have committed a crime or something… .”

“That’s not true. but… .”

Chae Seo-ah looked at Soyo with a pained expression and sighed.

I tapped the desk with my fingernails, clenching and unclenching my chin. With arms crossed. She speaks in a subdued voice, as if she is not pleased.

“There was a time when I was a severe hikikomori. I haven’t even come out of my room for about a year or two. It’s not necessarily because of that, but… .”

It’s possible for a person to not leave their room for two years. I watched the turmoil with my mouth wide open as the record was astounding.

She was smiling brightly and scratching the back of her head.

“I’m not complimenting you. Don’t laugh.”

“Ugh, Seo Ah-neun, it’s so hard… .”

“Shut up. Before I explain what it was like in the room.”

Chae Seo-ah is true to her personality. I liked regular life and neatness, but I wasn’t obsessed with it.

How bad was the condition of her room that she frowned like that? I stared at Soyo, who was blatantly avoiding my gaze.

“So. Want to join the clan?”

Ojiri, who was watching the conversation as if watching a drama, spoke.

“Ugh. For now, by the way.”

“What on earth does this clan have to steal? Doesn’t it have to be here?”

“Ugh, that’s not true. Jeongwoo’s skills are also needed. Because we’re childhood friends… .”

Chae Seo-ah opened her eyes and looked at Soyo. I glare at her as hard as I can, then turn my head and look at me.

“Mr. Park Jeong-woo. What is the story about childhood friends?”

“Actually, I’m not sure about that either. I’m your childhood friend… .”

“Ha… .”

Is it possible for a person to sigh so deeply? If I rest just a little longer, my lungs will come out.

“… You don’t need to listen. First of all, do you know how much of an age difference you are with Park Jeong-woo? I’m six years old. Six years old. When Park Jeong-woo entered middle school, that person graduated from high school.”

“Phew!”

There was a minor accident where Yang Ji-hee, who was quietly drinking tea, suddenly became possessed by a spray gun.

Six years old. Didn’t I say three years ago? I looked away and looked at Soyo.

“Besides that. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I went around claiming to all the buff hunters that I was my childhood friend, that human. I thought he only did that to women, but now he does it… .”

The expression on Chae Seo-ah’s face as she looked at her own flesh and blood was filled with the feeling that she was absolutely pathetic.

“Yes… . I think Jungwoo will be in danger if we stay together… .”

“Oh my. But I know you’re a capable tank. Isn’t it easy to find someone like that?”

“I agree with that. What is your personality? There isn’t a single sane person here anyway, so adding one more now won’t cause a big problem.”

Moon Ha-yeon and Chae Seo-ah are against. Ojiri and Jihee Yang agree. The eyes of women, including Soyo, were focused on me.

“… It’s 2 to 2, so I have to choose.”

“Hehe. That’s not true. Even if the results are lopsided, if our clan leader presents an opposing opinion, we must follow that direction.”

It’s already a burdensome situation. Yang Ji-hee even placed another large rock on my shoulder.

Certainly, the unrest was strong. Considering that our clan needs tanks, it was the perfect selection.

But what bothered me was its character and intention. I couldn’t figure out why she was so obsessed with buffs or what her intentions were.

I continued to worry with a serious expression. Soyo, who was kneeling in a posture with military discipline, quietly raised his hand.

“Hey. If you don’t add me, I’m afraid I’ll tell all about Jeongwoo’s skills to other clans.”

Chae Seo-ah’s expression became even colder.

“Is this a threat now? Mr. Park Jeong-woo. It’s not worth listening to.”

“Ha… .”

The exclusive skill was originally a symbol of the hunter, or a hidden card. Why is my exclusive skill always used as a weakness?

“… It can’t be helped. Welcome to join.”

I don’t know why. Soyo really wants buff skills. At least there won’t be a better option than my skills. The moment you accept her, the worry of being stabbed in the back disappears.

Just a tanker. Since I had no affiliation, there was no need for gossip. If you leave out the minor issues of personality flaws and being downright scary, it could actually be said to be a good opportunity.

Those who were originally in favor were calm, but those who were against it all had a sad look on their faces. Yang Ji-hee, who was looking around, smiled and said.

“Well, that’s the decision.”

“Hehe, please take care of me in the future.”

“Oh my, please take care of me too.”

The two easily shook hands and exchanged greetings. Soyo looks in my direction and speaks.

“But, it looks like the medicine I received at the gate earlier has already run out. Will I be able to receive the skill effects properly?”

Wow.

Soyo’s hand was crumpled in the hand of Yang Jihee, who suddenly had a straight face.

“Not right now.”

“Huh? Well, it’s not that difficult… .”

“No.”

… The time is now 9pm.

There were three hours left until Yang Ji-hee’s job in charge of the investigation.

*

As we talked about various things over dinner, some time passed.

The story that took the most time was the story about the person in charge of sequestration, which rotates by day of the week.

Chaejayo repeated the same questions I had. Why is such a person in charge necessary in the first place? Is it okay to just apply semen, etc.

“You’re saying that because you don’t know? If you just close your eyes and try it once, you’ll fall in love too, right?”

“Hmm, is there such a thing as semen addiction? .”

“No. really. If you don’t do this, you’re losing half your life?”

Ojeong also went as far as he could go.

Can’t we just live at a loss? It was a deplorable thing.

“Hey, that’s also true. There’s something I want to show you… .”

“Oh my. What is it?”

Yang Ji-hee’s gaze was focused between my legs.

It was as if he was expecting me to take off my pants right now and say, ‘Mama, your penis is weird.’ Unfortunately, I had no intention of living up to those expectations.

I rummaged through my pants pocket and took out the missing dagger from the Dullahan’s corpse.

“I was wondering if you know what this is.”

“Huh? That?”

The response came only from the other side. She glanced at the bladeless dagger in my hand, then held out her hand to me. When I placed the handle on it, she looked at it closely.

“This… I think that’s right. Where did you get this?”

“At the gate. What is that?”

“Where did you steal this?”

“Yes?! It can’t be!”

I waved my hands vigorously. Oji looked at me with a very suspicious expression.

“Then, who did you kill?”

“No way!”

“Then why are you holding a magic weapon?”

“Magic weapon?”

An intangible weapon that can change its shape at any desired time. A symbol of some hunters and an extremely expensive artifact.

but. All of the magic weapons I saw were in the shape of tattoos. When you burn your hand on the tattooed area, a weapon is created within your grasp.

“But, it doesn’t look like a tattoo… .”

“That’s because there is no ownership. This is what magical weapons that haven’t been sold yet look like.”

“Well, it came from the monster’s corpse… .”

“Are you telling me to believe that?”

In the first place. Magic weapons were items that could be made by processing special materials.

So I am now. It was as if he was claiming that after killing a wild boar, a new, unclaimed laptop was found in the open wound.

“Ugh, that’s not true. It really came from a monster corpse. I saw it.”

Soyo spoke while looking at the magic weapon in my hand. Moon Ha-yeon also nodded at those words.

Ojiri, who was still looking at me with a suspicious expression, scratched the back of his head. He looks around at the dagger, then glances at me.

“So, what should we do with this?”

“Hmm, if it’s such an expensive product, of course. I thought there would be no trouble finding the owner… .”

“Ha… . Yeah, I thought so. Hey, look. Do you see this here? Is this like a maker’s seal?”

As she said. There was a small, strange pattern carved into the handle of the dagger. I look with my eyes narrowed. I could see that it looked similar to a personal seal.

“Luckily, this is someone I know. These items are usually made to order. You can go and check it out.”

“Wow. Do you know someone like that?”

but. Looking at his career history alone, it was not unusual for Ojik to have connections. Although there is a problem that those connections are usually people connected to the dark side of the hunter industry.

She chuckled and twirled the dagger in her hand.

“We get to know each other. Have you experienced this too?”

“Have you experienced it? What?”

“That human work. It was a while ago, but you already forgot?”

Ojik raised his index finger. I slowly stretched my hand forward.

Her fingers. It stretched straight toward my lower abdomen.
