The three-day long Christmas journey came to an end when I woke up early in the morning to go to work, washed up with Yoon Ji-an, who had traveled to Busan, and then parted ways.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

She returned to her cool-headed self.

However, warmth and affection are endlessly shining in the eyes.

A devoted gaze that seems to want to make whatever you want come true.

If I tell her not to go to work and just hang out for one more day, she will immediately follow suit.

Now that I think about it, it’s quite fascinating… , the problem is that it is impossible on my side.

The smartphone in my coat pocket is on the verge of catching fire as Yujeong asks me when I’ll be home and asks what kind of party this is for 2 days and 1 night.

Before getting into the taxi, she said her last words with a slightly shy expression.

“… “I believe you will call me more often next year.”

I responded to her words by waving my hand with a smile.

“See you often next year, we.”

Actually, there is nothing special about calling her during school life… , now it’s different.

Just looking at her now, I feel like she’ll come running even if I call her for a moment because she wants to receive blowjobs.

Although the analogy is a bit shallow… , that’s what I want to say.

Now, the relationship has progressed to the point where the reason for calling her doesn’t really matter.

“Hwiyu.”

After sending her away, the memories of the past three days flash by like a flash of light.

If you ask me to do it twice… , I could do it, but it was a forced march that I didn’t necessarily want to do.

Thanks to this, a new New Year’s goal that had been empty was added.

“I will make a harem before Christmas next year.”

If you can make the women you meet know about each other’s existence and get along with them, you won’t have to put on such a tearful butt show, right?

Of course, it would be easy in a monogamous country… .

“It will work out somehow, okay?”

Until now, I have been able to accomplish things that others unanimously said were impossible.

As always, if you break and break like you did then, you will eventually find your way.

As soon as I returned home thinking that.

“hey! “Where have you been?”

… Shin Yoo-jeong grabbed me by the collar and I broke down.

“Just calm down first… .”

As I was trying to politely scold her, she suddenly showed me her smartphone screen.

What was on the screen was a picture of me taken at Gangnam Station on Christmas day.

To be precise, it was the time to use magic to catch the Red Thieves, but the timing was so amazing that I almost burst out in admiration without being able to understand the atmosphere.

“What are you doing? Were you with Yoon Ji-an? Have you ever been with that bitch? !”

“Sleep, stop.”

He pulled her into his arms and patted her back as she rushed at her like a runaway locomotive.

“Let it go, don’t let it go… ?!”

I was swinging my fist in my arms and almost broke my ribs.

I just have three ignorant powers… .

Still, it seemed to be starting to calm down to some extent, as its strength gradually weakened and it soon became quiet.

For people who are impatient, it is important to calm them down first and then talk to them.

If you get angry at the same time as me, that’s when work gets tiring.

“That photo was taken on the way to the party. “You can’t just sit there and watch that bastard suddenly steal the charity pot, can you?”

“… “Then why is Yoon Ji-an there?”

“I really want to ask, hey. “Is it really strange for Mr. Jian to be there?”

“… … .”

The guy who suddenly becomes silent.

If you think a little deeper, you will understand.

It’s not strange that Yoon Ji-an, an employee of the association and in charge of my care, is there.

He slowly pats her back, whose breathing has calmed even more, and adds his final excuse.

“It came a day later… “The party ended late and I was having a hard time because I drank too much, so the association gave me a room at the hotel where the party was held so I could sleep for a while.”

“… “You slept alone, right?”

The sharp end of the last doubt is aimed at the lungs, but it is already too late.

“of course. But that’s what I thought.”

“What are you thinking?”

“I think it would be great if I came here with you.”

“… So what is the conclusion?”

“I’m saying let’s go next time.”

“what… “I’ll think about it later when the schedule comes up.”

I think he knows that if he sees someone going against a schedule that doesn’t exist, he gets angry like a crazy person and then just accepts it, which makes me look funny.

“Are you calmer now?”

“What do you mean by calm?”

Shin Yoo-jeong falls away from his embrace with a red face.

Looking at his face, it seems like all misunderstandings have been completely resolved.

Although I once again calmly told the story, I was honestly scared out of my mind.

If there had been even one thing out of place, I would have been very upset today.

I praise my past self for using the association party as an excuse… !

I went into the room, changed my clothes, and lay down on the mattress, and he naturally lay down next to me and played with his smartphone.

Anyone who sees you will think you live together.

“Hey, but you know that, right?”

“what?”

The guy who suddenly spoke to me spoke to me with a mischievous expression.

What on earth is it that makes you look like that again?

“The number of your social media followers is skyrocketing like crazy.”

“… … ?”

“There’s a picture I showed you earlier. “There are thousands of comments on every post saying they came here after seeing that.”

“… … .”

With a contemplative expression, I hurriedly picked up my smartphone and logged into my SNS account.

Hundreds and thousands of DMs and a huge number of comments accumulated on each post.

… Above all, the number of followers, which has exceeded 1.5 times and is still soaring rapidly in real time, bothers me even more.

“Hehehehe, now you too are a social media star.”

“No… .”

Wow, this is real.

Hunter.

A hunter who hunts otherworldly beings that appear through space.

A long time ago, when cracks first appeared.

At that time, there were no systems or legal regulations and there was only confusion.

At a time when there was no such thing as a hunter, the name that civilians gave to those who were given characteristics was ‘hero’.

They deserved to be called that.

With the sole intention of saving my family and humanity from predators boasting overwhelming power, I crushed and fiercely oxidized my enemies with my bare body, without even the merest equipment.

Without their sacrifices, the peaceful world we have today would never have existed.

Therefore, the world and the people living on this earth must not forget them.

they have been forgotten

It was deposited in less than a hundred years and has been forgotten by most people.

Now, I am enjoying peace, forgetting the gratitude for my sacrifice.

Here, there is a hunter who is called a hero by people.

Did he risk his life to protect people? no.

We only did what was possible under safe protection measures.

Did he sacrifice himself in a harsh environment? no.

I just faithfully did my job while protecting myself with equipment that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

He makes more money than anyone else, drives more expensive cars than anyone else, eats more expensive food, and sleeps in more expensive houses.

Confrontation with beings from another world? I just do it because it makes money.

Even if you wash your eyes and look for his noble spirit of sacrifice, devotion, and charity, you cannot see them.

Why is he called a hero instead of a hunter?

It is a strategy to raise one’s price.

A ploy for deep material greed to receive a larger down payment and annual salary.

The word hero has been polluted.

Instead of being the pinnacle of honor reserved for the brave and noble, it has become a worldly title that those who already have a lot want to acquire in order to covet more.

The man wants to ask the people in the world who call him a hero.

Do you really think he is a hero?

“Cough… !”

To ask them, the man put blood on his hands.

They made him take a test, and if he didn’t pass, they mercilessly killed him and beheaded him.

Dozens and hundreds of false heroes lost their lives and crumbled to pieces at his hands.

When the man asked whether he truly thought of him as a hero, the world responded with ‘oblivion’.

The man they called a hero died a fleeting death and was forgotten less than a week later.

People probably didn’t think of him as a true hero either.

“I’m curious.”

What kind of expression will the fake hero who was forgotten in just a week look up here from hell?

You will find out someday when a true hero appears.

You will meet a violent end at his hands.

Until that day comes, the man just continues to test and ask.

And now.

The subject of this year’s final exam has been decided.

A young hunter who suddenly appears and begins to attract the world’s attention and is called a future hero.

There is a reason why unripe young chicks are targeted.

‘It looks somewhat similar.’

The eyes of the young man I occasionally saw resembled his.

The look in his eyes as he passed the test by solving it with his own answers, not the answers I gave him.

That made the man unbearably curious.

That was the reason.

“… “I hope it passes.”

The man raised his body, which had been crouched for a long time, in sincere hope.

It’s time to go outside again.
