Chapter 164 – The Sportsman (2)
My first meal on my trip to Korea was a charcoal-grilled meat restaurant where you can enjoy Galbi and Samgyeopsal at the same time.
Tia stared at the meat on the charcoal fire and said very seriously.
His brain his seems to be more active than ever.
“Master, I’ve calculated that I need to eat 7 meals a day to eat everything I want during my stay in Korea.”
“Oh, is that so? Tia lives in Korea. We’ll go home.”
“Gyaaaaa…”
Even as she laughed at Tia’s suffering her, on the one hand, her heart ached.
It doesn’t matter if he can’t eat everything he wants.
However, Hunter City, not Korea, is now my home.
In fact, everyone, including Yeriel and Alice, has completely changed their nationality…
At the time, the Korean judiciary was under heavy criticism.
It was that the world’s most powerful hunter and her family were handed over to another country.
Thanks to this, the Hunter Association and the government hurriedly enacted a special law to allow Yeriel and Alice to maintain their Korean nationality.
It is an old saying that multiple nationalities are not allowed, but these days there are quite a few cases where multiple nationalities are allowed.
The Yeriel in question grinned, wearing clothes that didn’t suit her restaurant at all.
Of course, it’s an expensive restaurant, but even so, it’s a meat restaurant…
Anyone who sees it will know that they are attending a film festival.
Of course, the smell of meat or oil would be an impenetrable defense with the stop ability.
In between.
Tia and Chorok had a serious discussion comparing each other’s SNS accounts.
It’s not normal to see Tia roll her eyes in front of her meat.
“Anyway, I have few followers… Is it because I am a latecomer?”
“That’s because uploads overlap with mine. I’ll upload a Korean restaurant tour, so you’ll post your impressions of watching a baseball game, okay?”
“Then your uploads are much higher. Should I change the name as well…”
Now that I see it, it seems that Green is also using social media.
Red, with a very talkative face next to her, is trying hard to keep her mouth shut.
Of course, I didn’t bother.
“Are these guys exposing our movements intact?”
“Oh, no! Uploading is done in a day!”
“Because it’s not strange if we get killed whenever we become unpopular… This is also a kind of survival strategy.”
“Since when did the quality of SNS become a survival strategy? Don’t say ugly things and eat.”
“Neeet!”
Tia responded briskly, placing her hand on her ribs her, which were just about ready.
I brought the largest piece of meat from the center of the fire to Alice’s plate.
Alice smiled and was a little puzzled.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s okay, eat it.”
“Ugh… Thank you.”
“Now, eat this too. This too…”
“Ah. You’ve only been giving Alice since before.”
When Seo Ji-yu protested, I came up with a prepared excuse.
“Alice needs to eat a lot.”
“Why?”
“I want my children to breastfeed…”
“Cool!”
Alice almost vomited up her meat at my sincere joke.
Then Yeriel laughed beside her, covering her mouth her.
By her standards of her, that was nothing short of laughing like crazy.
Before Alice could say anything to Yeriel, she struck the ball.
“It’s okay, Mr. West. If Alice can’t do it, I’ll take her place her.”
“…Give me all the meat!”
“Ah! Alice sister!”
“Poo-hyuk… Boss, here’s an extra 12 servings of ribs! Yes. It’s 12 servings, not 2 servings.”
Alice had an unusually voracious appetite, and she even ate Tia’s meat.
After spending her first day in such a relaxed atmosphere, she went on the second day to see faces she didn’t want to see.
Presidents and politicians, etc. After two years, she quickly came back with only a face stamp, and it was time for the baseball game to begin.
Tia and Greeny have already bought beer and chicken from the baseball stadium and settled down.
Red, who had been pretending to be indifferent, was slightly surprised when he saw the people filling the stands.
At least, Kerr seems to be the most calm… This guy has been trained more than a guide dog for the blind, so it’s only natural if it’s natural.
“Are there many people?”
“It’s fall baseball. Take care everyone.”
“Ah, yes.”
Seo Ji-yu, who belatedly remembered something, nodded her head eagerly.
We didn’t just come here to play today.
I belatedly added to her, handing her her plastic beer cup, which had become her all-too-serious face of her.
“I’m not saying don’t enjoy it. Actually, we live in the homeland of baseball, but…”
“Of course! Actually, you have to take a plane to see a major game.”
“There’s a lot to do before starting something.”
As soon as Alice left that impression, the voices of her commentators rang out.
The camera, which had been spinning leisurely, comes out very naturally and illuminates Yeriel, awakening our existence.
[And today we had very special guests…]
“Wow!”
“Yeriel! Yeriel Frost!”
Feeling very perplexed, I shook her hand with Yeriel.
No matter how much you say that you are Yeriel’s companion, even if you look at it like this, it’s a former criminal… You’re welcome.
Yeriel is also slightly bitter.
“They…”
At that time, the fake Green Dust who was hot on the sidelines.
I hastily stopped him.
“Calm down and watch baseball, two.”
“Yes? 2 generations…?”
“Oh, you’re this guy.”
“…”
The guy who was briefly pleased with the nuance of the 2nd generation Green Dust suddenly turned his face, and then slightly turned his head as if he was genuinely upset.
As I was reading him hard, the game finally started.
Chorori, who watched him with his eyes wide open, sincerely admired his first hit.
“Ohh… I have no idea what’s what.”
“Did you ask me to see you without knowing what baseball is?”
“I didn’t want to ruin the fun of exploring unknown territory. I’ve experienced enough of the curse of knowledge. But I like the atmosphere.”
“That’s very fortunate.”
“Master, the baseball field food is also very edible. I’ll buy some more chicken and hot dogs.”
“Don’t go. I bought it in advance knowing that.”
Tia was genuinely thrilled when I ordered the food I had ordered for the crew in advance.
It seems that putting both hands together will create a pseudo-religion right away.
“I could even give my life for my master!”
“Of course it should.”
“Hey, human. Can’t that hit the opponent with a bat?”
“Can you do it? Red, I think you’re still lacking in edification.”
We enjoyed watching the game on our own.
The voice of the commentator, who had been calm, suddenly changed to a high pitched voice.
“It’s kicked high to the left! Home run! It’s Noh Ha-jun’s two-run home run!”
“Ohhh, passed! Did that team win now?”
“No… It’s not Quidditch.”
“Noh Hajun! Noh Hajun!!”
The crowd chanted the name of the player who hit the home run.
It seems that he is the most popular player recently.
Indeed, if you hit the ball, it’s a home run or a hit.
It’s to the point where the pitcher wonders if he should just send it on a walk.
By the way, I didn’t even know the home run as well as the baseball rules…
Certainly, the environment in which you were born and raised is important.
As I felt it again, Red slowly tilted his head and let out a meaningful moan.
“Umm…”
“What’s the matter?”
“Something, familiar? That movement… Doesn’t it somehow look like a hunter?”
“Where the hell are you looking?”
“Normal humans are much… Slower than that. Hitting inaccurately. Uhm, compared to other players, that’s for sure.”
Red nodded with 100% certainty.
While I was reflexively about to shake hands, even Blanche agreed.
[The results of the video review, it’s definitely suspicious.]
“What is the basis?”
[The general human reaction speed is considered to be about 0.1 second as the limit. However, Hajun Noh ran out 0.05 seconds after the hit. For normal humans, this is the time when external signals cannot even be transmitted to the brain.]
Certainly, hunters often have superior reaction speeds than ordinary people, but…
I can’t be sure of that alone.
“Isn’t it just an ordinary prediction and run? This isn’t running, it’s baseball. If the hitter wants to hit, he can run at once. It’s not like stealing bases for nothing.”
Above all, what era is it these days?
Modern baseball’s doping tests already include magic power tests.
This is because athletes often fall for the temptation of various hunter equipment or hunter abilities.
Especially in the training phase, there are not a few cases where you benefit from the hunter ability.
Therefore, Hunter pretending to be a civilian and playing as a professional player is mostly filtered out at the inspection stage.
However, Blanche was not readily convinced.
[There is another reason.]
“Couldn’t it be that Hajun Noh is registered as a hunter?”
[Of course not. However, Hajun Noh has tested positive for magic power in a doping test.]
“What?”
With those words from before, the probability of guilt jumped up.
“Then why were you allowed to compete?”
[Simple magical power positive reactions are common among ordinary people. It’s a story before the gate is completely closed…]
“But it’s completely closed now, right?”
[It could have been influenced at the time. Anyway, it’s a little too early to say for sure.]
“Well… Okay. Then let’s check it out next time we’re at bat.”
As I tried to film it with my smartphone equipped with a measuring device, Yeriel widened her eyes.
“Seobang-nim… Are you still working even though you returned to your home country after a long time?”
“I’m sorry, darling. Blanche, it’s an emergency. We need to get it done ASAP.”
[Tia. That chicken looks delicious. I will also try the taste by sharing the senses.]
“Ah, okay. Ready!”
Tia, who had killed the fourth chicken, waited for Blanche’s ability to activate while his mouth her was dripping.
Feeling impatient, I also put my butt in the seat.
