Chapter 919 – Poor Hunter, Night (1)
I don’t feel good.
It has to be bad.
“Well… Sigh.”
In the room where Lee Si-heon left, Erinyes, covered in the foul smell of the male her man left behind, covered herself with a blanket and cried for a long time.
The groin is still immersed in the lingering sensation of her man’s touch.
Even though his legs were closed, the back of Lee Si-heon’s hard hand felt like it was wrapped inside his thigh like a sandwich.
“It’s dirty… It’s just dirty.”
Who are you talking to?
Erinyes, who was muttering to herself in a place where no one could hear, did not even notice that her own voice was hoarse.
-Jikkeun.
Her lower abdomen was hot. Her face got hotter.
Her thirsty throat desperately asked for a drop of water, but her body was so drowsy as if she were sick that she could not lift a finger.
I feel… The worst.
She couldn’t admit that she had been manipulated by a man like that.
If this is the kind of love that a man and a woman share, it would be better for her not to know about it for the rest of her life.
I don’t know how many times Erinyes repeated this to herself.
“… It’s not good.”
Nevertheless, the coquettish moans she couldn’t bear to let out in front of her man were the more she ate away at herself the more she denied it.
The Queen, who turned her eyes away from her aching heart, thought it was just Lee Si-heon’s trick, and she just turned her eyes away from reality.
In fact, she doesn’t even know that Lee Si-heon’s temperament or ability doesn’t apply to her.
Erinyes was a natural female maiden who resisted and was eaten by her male counterpart, who was stronger than I.
“Huh.”
Dirty smell.
The scarred handprints on the pale skin seemed like they would not be erased for a while.
The marks made by King Mokyeong heat up with the beat of his heart.
The nipple that I was chewing on with my teeth was so swollen with saliva that I wondered if it was mine.
She even thought about cutting off every part of Lee Si-heon’s hand with a knife, but she couldn’t use magic to erase the scars or senses.
Even in this situation, Erinyes’ mental strength of not using her magic to save her mana was worth applauding.
“Kolok.”
Someone opened the door of Erinyes, who was lying down and coughing dryly.
-Squeak!
Could it be Lucy? No. I can’t show it like this.
She was a queen who raised her head in surprise for a moment, but she was completely shocked by the shadow of her man who opened her door and dropped her head on her bed.
“… “I said I was going.”
The powerless queen’s accusatory words are directed at Lee Si-heon.
Lee Si-heon brings a drink with a stern expression, not knowing how bad he has done to himself.
“I’ll leave right away. “I just came to give you this for a moment.”
“… ?”
A potion made with ionic beverage and one’s own magic power.
It was what the queen, who was irritated with thirst, needed most.
“At least your body is so exhausted that you can’t even drink water, right?”
“… Don’t be funny. “I can move.”
“Just wipe your tears and speak.”
“Ugh…”
“Go, go through hard times.”
Who am I suffering for?
Erinyes was disgusted with the man who did such a terrible thing to her and then turned his back on her without feeling any guilt.
-Boom!
‘…’
Blue colored ionic drink and potion placed on the nightstand.
Was it cooled by magic? It seemed like there was a little bit of thin ice, and the ice crystals visible above the opening and the water droplets on the surface of the bottle were brilliant.
The Queen, who was feeling a bit embarrassed, turned her head and decided not to drink it, but when she realized that Lee Si-heon’s presence had completely disappeared, she carefully reached out to her nightstand and lifted the bottle containing the drink.
‘…’
Because pride doesn’t take care of your health.
I have to recover quickly, so I can escape from this man’s clutches.
-Click.
When I opened the lid, water droplets fell on her thighs covered in love juice.
The pleasant coolness took away the heat from her man and helped Erinyes return to her normal body temperature.
-Gulp. Gulp.
A feeling of refreshment comes over you after taking a few sips. The queen let out her shaky breath and drank the drink Lee Si-heon gave her.
“Whoa, whoa…” . Gulp.”
Maybe I was too distracted.
Before she knew it, Erinyes caught the eye of Lee Si-heon, who stuck his head out through the open door.
-Rattle.
“…”
“Isn’t it refreshing?”
“… …”
Soft, soft, soft.
The queen’s face became stained with a red color that no one had ever seen.
* * * * * * *
Semi-basement. A loner. Lots of debt.
It is a perfect word to describe the girl called Bam.
-Songsongsongsong.
It’s been many years since I survived the half-destroyed Hell Joseon.
The morning starts early when I realize that the unmarketable, ugly vegetables I get from the grocery store are much cheaper than the local supermarket.
-Bubble.
Cut out the rotten part of the green onion, cut it into small pieces and throw it into the soybean paste soup.
I cut off half of my favorite tofu and put it in, and tasted a ladleful of soybean paste given to me by an elderly person at a market I used to frequent.
-Horok.
“Ugh…”
It’s hard to expect a variety of flavors from soybean paste soup that doesn’t even have the right seasoning.
This is a luxurious enough side dish for a night.
Since the owner of the house also runs a gosiwon, we prepared a table with free rice and kimchi that we were able to get.
“Whew. It’s done.”
A poor day at night starts with half a bowl of rice, soybean paste soup, pickled radish, and kimchi.
Although she suffered from a metabolic disorder that hunters have been suffering from recently due to her forcibly going through dungeons, she was a promising hunter who did not give up hope.
-Knock.
As I finish eating breakfast, a text message urging me to repay the debt breaks the pain of a happy meal.
─[TH Savings Bank] A reminder for same-day repayment will be sent to your home due to loss of interest on Bamnim’s Hunter loan, so please process the deposit as soon as possible…
“Ah.”
A chestnut that falls apart while chewing pickled radish.
No matter how talented a hunter Bam is. Due to the recent war and other reasons, the rate of resource consumption in the dungeon was extreme, so there was no good job that would allow him to be away for a long time.
Because she has to periodically take care of her unconscious sister, and because she becomes anxious when she is separated from her sister, she is unable to handle big issues.
Above all, she said, who will take responsibility for her sister if she dies?
Bam could not stop abusing her body, even for the sake of her older sister, who was harmed while speaking out for herself who was abandoned by her church.
“Okay, let’s work.”
After hitting his cheek strongly, Bam stood up proudly.
To pay her sister’s hospital bills. And to pay off the interest on the debt!
Bam got up from his seat, washed the dishes neatly, and took out the combat suit and chainsaw that had lost their functionality the first time.
I was lonely because I had no one to interact with, and it was hard to live without contact with Shiba, my only acquaintance…
If you survive somehow, you will survive.
In a city where no one knew, a little girl was living through a rough world without even noticing that she was struggling.
* * * * * *
The spectrum of what the night does is quite broad.
From hunting monsters to collect magic stones, which ordinary hunters do, to acting as a porter, which others do not do, and even conducting vitality experiments on hunters.
“Miss, move quickly. “Don’t you know that there has been a time limit on dungeon entry recently?”
“Ah, hehe. “I’m sorry.”
If the dungeon is difficult, you need a strong porter.
Even if you don’t fight directly, you don’t know what will happen behind the scenes, and the harsh dungeon environment is not something that even a well-trained hunter can easily overcome.
It was not difficult for Fei to pretend to be a good porter since he had trained his body to the point where he had a record of beating Lee Si-heon during his old academy days.
-Jikkeun.
Bam frowned at the pain in his ankle.
Magic stones are heavy, and the substances emitted by unrefined magic stones are harmful to the body.
In fact, some of the magic stones that had just been excavated from the monster’s body reached temperatures of hundreds of degrees, so I had to sleep on my stomach every night because of skin diseases and blisters, including burns on my back.
In addition, it is inevitable that if you go on an arduous march for too long, it will put a strain on your body.
My ankle bones were slightly crooked, and my back was not perfect.
Doctors even published several papers on Bam’s body, wondering what on earth did the strong hunter’s body do to become so weak.
It’s an untold story that thanks to that thesis, I had a bright night where I was able to eat my fill of thinly sliced pork belly for a while.
“Thank you for your hard work today. “The daily workers will be sent soon.”
“Yes? Oh, by the way, the last daily wage hasn’t been deposited yet…”
“Wouldn’t you like to send money to the lady if we get the settlement? It’s because the game is difficult. The association is also busy. Just wait a moment. When have we ever taken it off?”
“But, that monthly rent…”
The bitter waters of society discouraged even the filthy night.
Even though I made a name for myself during my time at the academy as a rude person and a sharp-tongued speaker, this is what happens when I go out into society.
After a brief argument at night, I had no choice but to finish the job with the crumpled 20,000 won bill that the class leader gave me.
‘It’s really urgent…’
If I get kicked out of this monthly rented house, I really will have nowhere to go.
At night, while stuffing bills into his hole-filled wallet, he took advantage of Hunter’s unique stamina to visit a nearby shipyard and start working.
In a world where individual strength is no different from heavy equipment, the hard work of a hunter is a highly lucrative job that ridiculously surpasses that of other occupations!
It is said that some hunters do nothing but toil and live an ordinary life of luxury.
It was also something that was easy to find in Korea, where Seoul once collapsed.
-Clud!
Wearing a hard hat and carrying a huge steel coil on his shoulder, Bam carried the goods around, picking up coal around him.
“Miss, eat!”
“Yes!”
When you work so hard, the happiest time of the day comes when you get a free meal.
A place where you can eat a lot of expensive basic gimbap with a dusty body and even drink canned coffee after the meal.
Leftover food could be packaged and taken home for easy meals the next day.
After eating. Working again.
When evening comes like that, the dead night returns to the semi-basement like cabbage soaked in salt water.
As I was organizing the piled up messages and KakaoTalk, I saw a post buried at the bottom.
─Are you sure you’re okay?
No reply back. A number that doesn’t disappear.
In the night, when there was no medium to understand the story of Shiva, who became the hero of the World Tree, all I could do was pray that nothing would happen to Shiva.
─Please think again.
This is… It came from a religious denomination.
Something like a deaf ear. Sannim in suits who came to visit not long ago and were muttering things I couldn’t quite understand.
It was somewhat coercive. Can you forgive the debt? They said they would solve anything if there was a problem, but honestly, from Bam’s point of view, those words were hard to trust.
‘World Tree.’
Raised in the Church of the World Tree of Resentment, brainwashed and trained. The dirty memory of killing a strict person is so vivid.
What can you trust and entrust yourself to the World Tree?
The World Tree of Resentment was the enemy of the night, and all I could say was that I wanted to kill that dirty god right away if I had the chance.
‘…’
Beta grew up learning loyalty to the church and enemies even before she was one year old.
It was a night that was no longer beta. She deserved to choose the direction of her life.
When she was first abandoned by her church, there were times when she hated Lee Si-heon, who was the target of her mission and not her church, due to her feelings of blame.
‘… Let’s stop thinking.’
What’s the point of repeating what’s already happened?
Night closed her eyes tightly and turned her head to put down her phone and close her window.
And immediately a scream breaks out.
“Aaaaah!”
Beneath the semi-basement window, a man thought to be dead was watching the night with wide-open eyes.
Lee Si-heon. Therefore… A man who was branded a heretic by the World Tree and would have already died!
The night he saw a ghost with a grudge against him, he foamed at the mouth and collapsed.
