When I reached the parking lot where I parked my car to leave for Haenam.

“Oh my, Dojin!”

A familiar voice coming from behind me.

When I turned my head, I saw Juyeon wearing a white robe waving his hand with a bright smile on his face.

And next to it.

“I’m going home now… ?”

Seoyeon stands with a pensive expression, unlike her usual blunt expression.

What’s going on?

Even as I was thinking that, I shook my head and was about to open my mouth to answer her.

“Dojin is going to Haenam too. yes?”

For some reason, I was speechless at Juyeon’s comment, who was looking at me happily.

“… “How did you know?”

“Hmm, I just thought that would be the case with your personality?”

Every time she opens her mouth, the questions are not solved, but pile up one by one.

The number of times I’ve come face-to-face with this body can only be counted on one hand, but the way he speaks, as if he knows everything about me, is strangely annoying.

At the same time, another word raises doubts.

“If Dojin is ‘Do’… , Teacher too?”

Then she nods with a cheerful expression.

“That’s right. Seoyeon and I are on our way to Haenam.”

No, wait a minute.

“… “You’re taking senior Seoyeon with you?”

I made eye contact with Seoyeon who was next to me.

His eyes and my eyes reflected in those eyes contained very similar emotions.

“In that dangerous place… “Why you?”

“Why are you in such a dangerous place?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Ho ho ho! At times like this, it’s a joke! We have to pinch each other’s arms while doing this… , ah! “Is this too old-fashioned?”

We looked at each other, not paying attention to Juyeon’s rude joke.

The look on my face and that of the guy who looked similar to me changed in an instant.

The guy still looked like he didn’t understand, but I understood.

okay.

You had the same characteristics as me.

The deep sorrow that appears on my face is probably because of the word disaster I saw in the message window.

I hope you don’t go so far as to think that the disaster was your fault.

Avoiding Seo-yeon’s eyes, which seem burdensome, but staring at her, she shifts her gaze to Joo-yeon and asks.

“How can you take senior Seoyeon when she doesn’t even have a hunter’s license?”

“Seoyeon is going as a teacher’s escort.”

no… So, why do you use aspiring hunters instead of hunters as escorts?

That’s your nephew too, Juyeon… .

“… Does the Hunter Association allow that?”

When asked in a puzzled tone, Han Joo-yeon nodded with a bright expression, unaware of what other people were saying.

The answer that eventually came back was even more absurd.

“huh! “I was told that if I didn’t listen, I would leave for a foreign guild again, so it was easy to understand.”

“… … .”

It’s not just words, it’s a threat, that’s it.

When you look at her like that, she doesn’t really look like her, but she looks a lot like her older sister.

Normally, he is gentle and obedient, but if he goes out of line once, he goes out of line endlessly.

How many times have I been hurt in the past?

A scary guy who, when he really wants something, will do everything he can to get it.

Her meticulousness is very similar to that of my older sister, Han Joo-hee.

“If we’re going, let’s go together in the teacher’s car. What do you want to drive two cars?”

Then, as if my answer wasn’t necessary in the first place, he held my hand and led me to his car.

“Seoyeon, ride in the back, and Dojin, ride in the passenger seat.”

The passenger seat was forced to sit down by a force that was unbelievable for a mere healer.

Inside the car, there is a sweet scent that lingers gently without being burdensome.

I liked the scent and twitched the tip of my nose slightly, and Juyeon, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at me and grinned.

“Do you like the scent?”

“uh… , It’s good.”

“I see… , I like it.”

… I just said I liked the scent of the car, but I guess I like it a lot.

“Then we’ll leave! “If you’re tired, you can take a nap.”

The car carrying the three-person party that was formed so unexpectedly began to drive towards Haenam.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The road to Haenam was very quiet.

Since the evacuation order had already been issued, there were almost no cars going downstairs.

As I run along the open road, the unpleasant air begins to touch my skin.

This means that we are getting closer to the location of the disaster-level monster, the Kraken.

“ha… .”

Juyeon, who was concentrating on driving, sighs.

It looks like something is bothering you.

Thinking it must be something personal, I pretend not to hear and look out the window.

“ha… … .”

“… … .”

A longer sigh than before comes out of her mouth.

Even towards me.

“Hmm… , You were sighing earlier, even if you were worried… ?”

“Yeah, that’s it… .”

She was pleased with the interest I showed her, but then she continued speaking with a tearful expression on her face.

“Even though Seoyeon said she wanted to come, I begged her to come, but… , If my sister finds out about this, she might kill me… .”

“If it’s your sister… “You mean Hunter Han Joo-hee?”

“huh… “My sister, are you really scared when you’re angry?”

hmm.

I know that fact better than anyone else in the world.

But wait a minute.

“Hunter Joohee Han… , Did you respond to the summons?”

“Ho Ho… “My brother-in-law, Hunter Son Si-woo, is on sabbatical.”

“Ah, so Hunter Joohee Han took over… ?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

but.

If she doesn’t respond to the summons, given that Zsang Siu is like that, the reporters will criticize her.

An S-class couple who said they didn’t know about the national crisis.

The last time she ventured into a dungeon was about five years ago.

From then on, she began to focus on her activities as a magic tower owner, and her hunter activities were almost retired, but it has been a long time since her video was uploaded to YouTube.

Her fan club members might want to thank Kraken.

“anyway… , what should I do?”

“That’s it, whatever.”

Is it possible for me to have a sharp answer?

He smiled brightly and answered her question.

“You have to know how to avoid it.”

When I told her that it was none of her business, she glanced at me with narrowed eyes.

“You’re disgusting, you.”

Hearing those words reminds me of the old days.

Every time I jokingly told Joo-yeon, who did something wrong with my sister and ran away to me, to solve it on his own, he would roll his eyes like that and puff out his cheeks and say, ‘You’re disgusting, brother-in-law!’

Not being able to hear those words anymore… , it’s a little disappointing.

“ah… , I can see it over there.”

The coastline visible next to a long road.

And in the distance, you can see a thick, rugged barrier.

Firewall.

A final bastion built to block the monsters pouring in from the cracks that form on the sea.

On the outside, it looks like a rough, thick wall made by pouring in concrete, but it is a state-of-the-art defense shield with a lot of advanced technology.

The number of magic stones consumed was countless, and all kinds of magic circles were engraved to boast the best performance in both physical and magical aspects.

Even if it were a Kraken, it would take quite a while to destroy it.

“Oh my, what is that?”

“… “Are you reporters?”

The road leading to Haenam.

There was already a crowd of reporters who had come running after smelling a scoop.

The reason they are so far away from the operational area where the attack will be carried out is probably because of the protective wall.

The concentration of magical energy becomes so dense around the firewall that radio waves become difficult to pick up.

A reporter who was wandering around drooled when he saw our car approaching.

“I think it would be difficult to just break through.”

“I know… .”

They are truly annoying people.

If Hansi is busy and the road is almost blocked, are you saying let’s save the country or let us all perish?

“Teacher is here. “I’ll go out and do an interview.”

“uh… , Is that okay?”

I shrug my shoulders at her worried question and open the car door.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

As I get out of the car and take a couple of steps, the reporters ahead recognize my face and shout.

“It’s Kim Do-jin!”

“Kim Do-jin is a B-level hunter, right? “You really volunteered?”

“No matter what, I’m going to get a lot of views!”

A rookie hunter named Kim Do-jin has already become a hot topic, guaranteeing ample views for reporters.

Not only does he have a good-natured face and outstanding abilities, but he also takes the first step toward becoming a hunter and beyond.

I’ve done something that reporters would love to talk about, right?

He extended five fingers towards them.

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll just ask you five questions!”

Then the great national migration began.

“Move! “I come first!”

“What! “I found that car for the first time, why are you doing this?”

“Where is the idiot here who can’t spot that big car? How condescending!”

“what?! Fool? “You said everything?!”

Damn it, it’s a mess

I was asked why they were fighting among themselves.

“If you’re going to fight like that, I’ll just leave.”

“no!”

“Oh, yes.”

As it happened, the reporters who put off the fight because they thought I would go came over and surrounded me.

The names of broadcasting stations embedded in the microphones held out by reporters.

Among them, questions are allowed in the order of highest viewer ratings.

“Did Hunter Kim Do-jin come here voluntarily?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Why did you volunteer?”

“Well, there’s no grand reason, I’m just here to help out if there’s work to be done and to be paid well.”

He spews out heartfelt words that he would never have said in the past.

I know this because I’ve tried very hard to manage my image, but it’s not always a good thing.

My life becomes very tiring trying to maintain that image.

So, you should appear moderately greedy, moderately selfish, and moderately materialistic.

Because I no longer want to live to protect the false name of a national hunter.

Other questions follow.

“Hunter Kim Do-jin’s recent actions are surprising. Are you aiming to be promoted to A level in the shortest possible time?”

“If only I could.”

“Recently, a photo of you dating an unknown woman was posted on social media. Is she your girlfriend?”

“uh… .”

… Did something like that come up?

why didn’t i know

He was taken aback for a moment, but continued speaking immediately.

“We are dating, but we are not girlfriends.”

I don’t even know who she is, so I can’t hastily answer that she’s my girlfriend.

However, if I said that we weren’t in a relationship, the person who didn’t know who I was might get upset, so I just treated it like a date.

The final question follows.

“Recently, there is a lot of interest in Hunter Kim Do-jin. Do you have anything to say to the viewers who will be watching this broadcast?”

I answered while looking straight into the camera of the reporter who asked a question that was a good ending.

“be happy.”

Happiness is the best, everyone.
