Chapter 0 – Introduction (1)
The streets were moderately noisy.
The hot sun and cool breeze.
It was the perfect day to decorate the end of the legendary Hunter.
Hunter who has been active for only 10 years, and besides, talking about a legend to a woman who is not yet 30 years old is a little funny, but…
Considering her track record, that wasn’t necessarily the case.
Citizens came out to the streets as if some kind of festival was happening, and I was there too.
There were not even those among her who shed tears at the thought that they could no longer see her.
But most of her seemed determined to let go of her smiling face because she loved her.
Of course I was an exception.
“Too many people…”
“Can I see you from here?”
“Take one piece at a time!”
There were also people handing out small leaflets, in case anyone was unaware of her feat.
I waved my hand to say I didn’t need it, but I forcibly took it over.
A really disgusting face was printed on the small leaflet.
However, it was also a pretty face that could not be denied.
Yeriel Frost.
Recognized by most people as the best hunter in the world.
Their skills and achievements are overwhelming, and their popularity is even more overwhelming.
Because of her hard-to-approach appearance, her people called her her saintess.
I found a suitable bench a short distance from the road and sat down on it.
Maybe because it was the scheduled route for the commemorative parade, the number of people increased.
I really wanted to see her here, but in fact, she didn’t matter much.
Because most of the days when I put her in her eyes directly into her were unlucky.
Feeling dazed, I lowered my gaze a little.
In the middle of the leaflet, her great achievements were written in small letters.
Even though it was selected by covering only famous achievements, this is about it.
[Defeat the SS rank raid boss Tiamat.]
[Explore 5 of the world’s 7 unsolved dungeons.]
[The 1st Chairman of the Hunter Human Rights Committee.]
[The world’s first survivor from the gate exploration.]
[Repel Green Dust, a killer who specializes in hunters.]
However, since it was made by one fan for promotional purposes, there was some strange content at the end.
I swear to her god of heaven and earth that I have never been repulsed by her.
At that time, the target I was aiming for was definitely dead, so it was not repulsed, but withdrew after completing the operation.
Since the assassination was successful, it can be said that I actually won.
I was about to crumple up the leaflet and throw it in the trash, but stopped moving when I saw the last paragraph.
As is often the case with flyers of this kind, the last part contained a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
[Why did Yeriel Frost suddenly decide to retire? That…]
Certainly, the reason for Yeriel’s retirement was not even guessed.
There was also a somewhat sudden feeling.
The injuries he received in the battle with Tiamat got worse, or he lost his hunter abilities altogether.
There were even rumors that she had a man, but it was only speculation.
But… I don’t care what the reason is.
In the last two years, the frequency of occurrence of gates has been rapidly decreasing.
It can be said that the world is already entering the path of peace.
At least, that’s how citizens felt.
Now is the time to let go.
Saint, Yeriel deserves to retire and rest in peace.
Her people decided to send her a farewell in such a tacit atmosphere.
As far as today, I didn’t think differently from them.
‘Yes, find a good man and live happily ever after. Instead, never come back.’
As she sincerely wished her happiness, her already noisy surroundings became more tumultuous.
Finally, she is coming here.
A farewell ceremony for Yeriel on a large parade car.
The police, who were controlling the crowd, kept the control line with the determination to die.
Citizens rushed forward without anyone being able to do it.
If left alone, the atmosphere seemed like they would block the road, telling them not to go at all.
You won’t see it here either.
I thought so and added a little applause.
‘Goodbye, monstrous woman.’
It was hard being together, let’s not see each other again.
I also sincerely congratulated her on her retirement, although the reasons were a little different from others.
But… What happened?
It was about time that the parade car passed by.
The loud cheering and applause, far from diminishing, rather grew louder.
Citizens were now almost in a frenzy.
“Yeriel! Yeriel Frost!”
“Saint, don’t go!”
“Huh? Aren’t you coming this way?”
“Ah, no way.”
That sounds funny.
How does the guy in the parade car get here.
To make it colorless what I thought so.
A man jumped out from beyond the countless crowd.
There was no police stationed on this side, but the people restored order quite naturally.
Those who had been screaming for their throats to burst a moment ago are now keeping their mouths shut with a reverent expression.
Saint, Yeriel Frost.
She, who should have been on the parade car, was walking casually among the people.
Originally, it was a little 4-dimensional, but I never thought it would be like that at her own retirement ceremony.
I tried to sneak away from her, but she came much faster.
The uniform of her guild, but a white outfit that doesn’t suit anyone but her.
Her tall bag stopped at one point as she fluttered her feet lightly.
The thoughts of the two unbearably clear eyes were erratic, as always.
‘Did he get caught?’
After all, I regret that I didn’t come out to see you off for a while.
I made up my mind in my heart.
Although he acted as Green Dust and left no evidence, Yeriel Frost is already convinced.
Her sharp senses gave me a hard time every time.
‘Anyway, to work in a place like this. After all, this woman only knows herself.’
Feeling a little disappointed inside, the moment I tried to move before it was too late.
Yeriel finally parted her lips.
“I’ve been watching you for a long time.”
“What?”
“Who is that person? Is he a Hunter?”
“Sister, what happened all of a sudden… “
While the onlookers lined up around them, as well as fellow hunters from the same guild, were puzzled.
She looked straight at me and said clearly.
“Please marry me.”
