A chilly air filled the narrow room. The fraudster, or rather the director, who had been sitting comfortably spread out, was suddenly sitting in a straight posture.

“Well, haha… .”

Even seeing him smile humbly did nothing to improve his feelings. I pursed my lips and stared at her.

“Gate, bank, house, department store, someone else’s house, park… .”

Every time I recite each place in a chilling voice. One of the women sitting in the same room shrugged her shoulders.

The director didn’t seem to understand what I was saying at all. Meanwhile, he was staring at me with puzzled eyes.

but. If there was anyone who could guess that these various public facilities were places where I was bullied at one time or another, they would probably be someone who was unable to lead a daily life.

“It’s diverse… .”

I turned my eyes away from the pink-haired hunter who had a meaningful expression on his face and was unable to carry on with his daily life.

“Um, is this where you first met? Well, I still got one of the dating clothes, all the clan members are pretty, haha… .”

“I don’t remember very well. I’m the one who bought a suspicious amulet worth 50,000 won, so I guess I’m a bad person.”

Ugh. The director, who made a sound of deflation, soon chose defensive silence.

I folded the amulet back with an annoyed expression. Part of me wanted to tear it up, but anyway, it didn’t seem polite to do that in front of the person who made it.

He put the yellow paper back in his pocket and threw it on the table rather nervously.

“… You know this is a scam, right?”

“Oh, I even bought it for 50,000 won… .”

“Isn’t small fraud also fraud?”

Because the director chose defensive silence again. I sighed helplessly and sat down between the clan members who were sitting on the sofa.

It must have been quite unfamiliar to see me getting irritated. The clan members were silent.

But whose dog’s name is Oh Man Won? Even if it’s money you can only make now. At that time, the price I had to pay to buy one amulet was high.

As I recalled the taste of crumbly human food and pondered my anger at being cheated, I tapped my knee with my fingernail and spoke.

“Let’s get to the point. We’ll talk about the talisman later.”

Looking at the director, whose expression suddenly brightened and then darkened again. I took out a magic weapon shaped like a dagger handle from my pocket and placed it on the table.

…

The director, who heard how the item was obtained, had a serious expression on his face.

“Um… .”

“How about it? Is there a place to point out?”

Ojiri asked while sipping mixed coffee in a paper cup. The director, who was lightly throwing the dagger handle and catching it, answered that question.

“I remember who I sold it to. I’ve made something like this a few times. however… .”

The director placed the dagger on the table.

“Do you know me as Park Hyung-tae?”

“Ah. I know.”

When the name I saw when I was looking up information about hunters in high school came up, I was so happy that I answered loudly.

Park Hyeong-tae. Although he was not that famous, he was a hunter who reigned as the king of several gates due to his unique unique skills.

A style that uses multiple weapons. Between a mid-career and a newbie, he is at the peak of popularity that a hunter can enjoy. Above all, it is a class A unique skill called magic blocking.

He was also quite famous for his fighting style of fighting by using something that was completely unaffected by magic as a weapon and absorbing a considerable amount of magic with his bare skin.

“This is… You said it came from durahan thighs, right?”

“Yes. But what?”

“This. This is something I sold to Park Hyeong-tae. The procedure was also performed on the thigh.”

An image of Dullahan not being particularly shocked even after being hit by Moon Ha-yeon’s magic passed through my mind.

The director looked even darker. He spoke in a whisper.

“And him. I heard he went missing during a gate raid some time ago… .”

Black mutant monsters that suddenly appeared. kidnapping attempt. Unique skill. Magical weapon.

I began to become convinced that there might be some kind of relationship between Park Hyeong-tae and the Dullahan.

There were a lot of unclear corners, though. Dullahan, whose original weakness is magical attacks, resisting Moon Ha-yeon’s magic. Also, a magical weapon sticking out from the thigh. There were more similarities.

Then, maybe that Dullahan… .

Perhaps my companions had reached a similar conclusion as me, and the already quiet director’s office became even quieter. Only the director was looking at it with a puzzled expression.

“I’m not sure what happened. This doesn’t happen in the first place unless the person who has it dies.”

While saying that, she walked across the table. He threw the dagger handle at me.

I was so confused that I took it in a panic and blinked, looking at the dagger handle and then at her.

“Then, aren’t you taking it back?”

“Why me? It was something that left my hands in the first place. If a customer picks it up, it’s a customer’s item. Well, I can do an attachment procedure, right? Money… .”

She was talking in an indifferent tone and looked at the desk. He looked at the burnt amulet bag and immediately cleared his throat.

“Of course, we have to do it for free.”

There was no time to get excited when I heard it was free. I was frowning in confusion.

The object in my hand may be someone’s keepsake. No one in this space seemed to think about that.

This is what the hunter industry was like. Because there are so many people dying, it is a funeral where people are calm even in the face of the fact that someone may have died.

… I, too, would have to get used to this atmosphere. To become famous and become the best hunter.

First of all, if I’m right. The Dullahan I killed with my own hands might be that Park Hyeong-tae. It might be hypocritical to even think this way.

“How much does this cost?”

“Huh? that? one… Like this?”

The director picked up the calculator and tapped various things. On the screen she showed me, there were a lot of zeros.

“… Is it that expensive?”

“Is it because it’s used so it’s a bit discounted?”

With a much more cautious and cautious attitude, I slowly placed the magic weapon I was holding on the table to avoid any scratches.

The anxiety was not hidden from his gaze. Looking at the clan members sitting on both sides, he pointed with his palm at the handle of a dagger that was too expensive to point at.

“I think this is ours for now. What should I do?”

One arm folded. Yang Ji-hee muttered while playing with her lips.

“If you sell it right away, you will be less worried about money… . In the long run, well… .”

“After all, it would be better to sell it, right?”

“Still. Also, there is no way you can have something like this. People who went on an expedition with you might rush in. There is no problem since it is a by-product from the corpse of a Dullahan, but that is the custom.”

“Ah… .”

Moon Ha-yeon and Kwachayo and Yang Ji-hee do not use weapons. Chae Seo-ah already had a strong lover. If I had this, it was just me.

I glanced back and looked at Ojik.

“Me? The magic power is limited just to use this, so I don’t really want it.”

Blue lightning crackled in my outstretched palm.

“Good as a spare throwing dagger. Because Mr. Park Jeong-woo knows how to use a sword.”

“Ugh, yes. Yes, that’s right. Jeongwoo doesn’t really have any magic skills… .”

to be honest. It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t tempted.

I was once again reminded of my goal. Becoming a famous hunter. If you have this weapon, you will be able to get one step closer to that goal.

“Still, if I had that much money… .”

“Hehe. You have to think about the future. The stronger Park Jeong-woo becomes, the more money we make.”

I closed my eyes tightly. As Yang Ji-hee said, our clan knew that I, the clan leader, was practically holding them back.

“I understand. Then I will take it.”

“What is it? I thought you would get it a little more, but you got it right away. Is the skin on your face getting thicker?”

Ojik spoke mischievously, but I had a hard time answering his words.

As I was looking down at the floor, I felt the cold gaze of other clan members turning towards Ojik.

“No, it’s just a joke, a joke. I can’t even talk, Mr… . Uh, anyway. Where are you going to engrave it?”

The director, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, opened his mouth at those words.

“I recommend a place where your arms can easily reach. Is Park Jeong-woo right-handed?”

“No. I’m ambidextrous… .”

“Then… It would be nice to have a place where both arms can easily reach. How is your lower stomach?”

“No.”

It was Yang Ji-hee who answered sharply. She shook her head with a stern expression.

“Not on the lower abdomen.”

“Uh… . However, if you engrave it on your thigh, your reaction speed will increase in case of emergency… .”

“There is a prior agreement there.”

What a prior promise.

I lifted my head from my lowered position and saw Yang Ji-hee. She covered her mouth. He was looking at me with a soft smile.

“Hehe, you can look forward to it. Mr. Park Jeong-woo.”

For some reason. Moon Ha-yeon and Chae Seo-ah nodded slowly at her words.

Yang Ji-hee’s gaze glanced. Cork board hanging on the wall. Among them, I turned to one photo.

The photo was a close-up photo of the lower abdomen. There was a very familiar heart-shaped tattoo engraved below her small belly button.

“Oh my. I forgot to ask that. As for that tattoo, it can’t be made permanently… .”

“Aaagh!!”

Suddenly I screamed. The director looked at me as if surprised.

Still, a crazy guy is better than a semen faucet that goes into heat periodically. I just endured those stares.
