Chapter 233 – Unexpected Family Reunion (1)
When I arrived at the parking lot where I parked my car to leave for Haenam.
“Oh, Dojin!”
A familiar voice came from behind.
When I turned my head, I saw Jooyeon wearing a white coat and waving her hand with a smile on her face.
And next to it.
“I’m going home now… ?”
Unlike her usual blunt expression, Seoyeon is standing there with a pensive expression.
What’s going on
Even as he thought about that, he shook his head and was about to open his mouth to answer her.
“Do-jin is also going to Haenam. Yes?”
For some reason, I was speechless at Jooyeon’s remarks, who were looking at me happily.
“… How did you know?”
“Um~ I just thought it would be like that if it was your personality?”
Every time she opens her mouth, instead of being resolved, the questions pile up one by one.
I can only count on one hand the number of times I’ve come face to face with this body, but the tone of it that seems to know me inside and out is oddly jarring.
At the same time, another word raises doubts.
“If Dojin is ‘Do’… , Teacher too?”
Then she nodded her head cheerfully.
“That’s right. Seoyeon and I are also on our way to Haenam.”
No, wait.
“… Are you taking Seoyeon sunbaenim with you?”
I met eyes with Seoyeon who was next to me.
His pupils and mine reflected in them contained very similar emotions.
“In that dangerous place… , Why are you?”
“Why are you in such a dangerous place?”
“…”
“…”
“Ho-ho-ho! In this case, jjijjippong! We have to pinch each other’s arms while doing it… , Ah! Is this too old-fashioned?”
We looked at each other, not paying attention to Joo-yeon’s nonsensical jokes.
The look on my face and that of the guy who looked alike changed in an instant.
He still has an expression of incomprehension, but I understood.
Okay.
You had the same characteristics as me.
The depth of thought that comes out of your face must be because of the word disaster you saw in the message window.
I hope you don’t even think that the disaster is your fault.
Avoiding Seo-yeon’s gaze, which is burdensome, she shifts her gaze to Joo-yeon.
“Senior Seoyeon doesn’t even have a hunter license, so how can you take her?”
“Seoyeon is going as an escort for the teacher.”
No… , So, why do you use an aspiring hunter instead of a hunter?
That’s your nephew too, Juyeon…
“… Does the Hunter Association allow it?”
When asked in a puzzled tone, Han Joo-yeon nodded with a bright expression, unaware of the other person’s speed.
The answer that came back was even more absurd.
“Huh! They said that if they didn’t listen, they would leave for a foreign guild, so it was easy to talk to them.”
“…”
It’s not a conversation, it’s a threat, that’s it.
When I see her like that, she doesn’t seem to be true, but she looks a lot like her older sister.
Normally, he is docile and listens well, but once he strays from him, he goes off the rails endlessly.
How many times have I been hit in the past?
A scary guy who will do everything he can to get his hands on something he really wants.
Its meticulousness is very similar to that of my older sister, Han Joo-hee.
“Since we’re going, let’s take the teacher’s car and go together. Do you have two cars to drive?”
Then, as if my answer was not necessary in the first place, she takes her hand and leads me to her car.
“Seoyeon should ride in the back, and Dojin should ride in the passenger seat.”
For a mere healer, the passenger seat was forced to sit down because of the unbelievable power.
Inside the car, there is a sweet fragrance that is not burdensome and gently lingers.
I like the scent, so I twitch the tip of his nose, and Juyeon, who sits in the driver’s seat, smiles while staring at me.
“Do you like the scent?”
“Uh… , It’s good.”
“I see… , I like it.”
… I just said that I like the scent in the car, but I don’t think I like it too much.
“Then let’s go! You can take a nap if you are tired.”
The car carrying the three-member party started to run toward Haenam.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The road to Haenam was very quiet.
Since the evacuation order has already been issued, there are almost no cars going down.
As you run along the open road, the disturbing air begins to touch your skin.
It means that it is getting closer and closer to the place where the catastrophic monster, the Kraken, is located.
“Ha…”
Juyeon, who was engrossed in driving, sighed deeply.
It seems that there is some kind of trouble.
I pretended not to hear, so I looked out the window.
“Ha…”
“…”
A longer sigh escapes from her mouth than a moment ago.
Even towards me.
“Kuhm… , You sighed from earlier, but even if you are worried… ?”
“Yeah, that’s what I mean…”
She, who was pleased with her interest in me, continued her words with a tearful expression.
“I brought Seo-yeon because she begged me to come, but… , Because if her sister finds out about this, she might kill me…”
“As for my sister… , Han Joo-hee Hunter, right?”
“Huh… , My sister, are you really scared when you get angry?”
Hmm.
I know that fact better than anyone in the world.
But wait a minute.
“Han Joo-hee Hunter… , Did you respond to the summons?”
“Ho Ho… , My brother-in-law, so Hunter Son Si-woo, is on sabbatical, so he’s on break.”
“Ah, so Hunter Han Joo-hee took over… ?”
“Yeah, it is.”
But.
Reporters will chew on her ignorantly if she does not respond to her summons in the yard where Jap Siu became like that.
An S-class couple who didn’t know about the national crisis, while saying this.
The last time she went on a dungeon raid was about five years ago.
At that time, as she began to focus on her mage tower main activities after that, her hunter activities were almost in a state of retirement, but her video will be uploaded to you tube after a very long time.
Members of her fan club might even thank Kraken.
“Anyway… , What should I do?”
“That’s it, what.”
Can there be a sharp answer to me?
She smiled and answered her question.
“You have to know how to avoid it.”
When I say that she doesn’t care, she glances at me with her narrow eyes.
“I hate you, you.”
Hearing that reminds me of the old days.
Every time I joked with my sister to tell Joo-yeon, who had run away from me after doing something wrong, to take care of it herself, I would roll my eyes like that and puff out her cheeks saying ‘I hate you, brother-in-law!’.
That I can’t hear it anymore… , That’s a bit unfortunate.
“Ah… , I see it over there.”
A beach that peeks out from the side of a long stretch of road.
And in the distance, I see a thick barrier that is unmatched for being rugged.
Firewall.
A last-ditch bastion made to block the monsters pouring in from the rifts created on the sea.
From the outside, it looks like a crude and thick wall made by simply pouring concrete, but it is a high-tech defense shield filled with advanced technology.
The number of magic crystals consumed over there is immeasurable, and all sorts of magic circles have been engraved so that they can boast the strongest performance in both physical and magical terms.
Even the Kraken will take a while to break it.
“Oh my, what is that?”
“… Are you journalists?”
The road leading to Haenam.
There was already a crowd of reporters who had smelled the scoop and ran to it.
It must be because of the barrier that they are so far away from the area of operation where the attack will take place.
The concentration of magic power is so thick around the barrier that radio waves are hard to catch.
A reporter who was hanging around sees our car running and salivates.
“It seems like it would be difficult to just break through.”
“I know…”
They are truly annoying gents.
If Hanshi is almost blocking the road while he is busy, is it to save the country or to perish together?
“Teacher is here. I’ll go out and do some interviews.”
“Uh… , Is that okay?”
He shrugged her shoulders at her worried question and opened the car door.
“There is nothing not okay.”
When I get out of the car and take a couple of steps closer, the reporters in front of me recognize my face and shout.
“It’s Kim Dojin!”
“Kim Do-jin is a B-class hunter, right? Could it be that you volunteered?”
“Whatever it is, I’m going to get a lot of views!”
A rookie hunter named Kim Do-jin has already become a hot topic that guarantees ample views from reporters.
From the first step to becoming a hunter as well as the outstanding ability with a likable face to after that.
Didn’t I do something that reporters would love to talk about?
He spread five fingers towards them.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll just take five questions and move on!”
Then the national movement began.
“Move! I’m first!”
“What! I found that car for the first time, why are you doing this!”
“Where is this idiot who can’t find that big car? Condescending, condescending!”
“What?! Fool? Did you say everything?!”
It’s shit, it’s shit
Why are they fighting among themselves?
“If you’re going to fight like that, I’ll just go.”
“No!”
“Ah, yes.”
Reporters who put the fight on hold, wondering if I should go, come and surround me.
The names of broadcasting stations embedded in the microphones held out by reporters.
Among them, questions are allowed in the order in which the ratings are good.
“Did Hunter Kim Do-jin come here voluntarily?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Why did you volunteer?”
“Well, I don’t have any grandiose reasons, I just came here to help if there’s anything to do and to get a good salary.”
He spits out heartfelt words that he would never have said in the past.
I know because I’ve worked hard on image management, but that’s not all that good.
Keeping that image makes my life so tiring.
So, you have to look moderately greedy, moderately selfish, and moderately greedy.
I don’t want to live to protect the false reputation of being a national hunter.
Other questions follow.
“Recently, Hunter Kim Do-jin’s progress is surprising. Are you aiming for an A-class promotion in the shortest period of time?”
“If only I could.”
“Recently, a photo of me dating a mysterious woman was posted on social media. Is this your girlfriend?”
“Uh…”
… Did something like that come up?
I didn’t know why
I was taken aback for a moment, but I immediately continued talking.
“It’s a date, but not a girlfriend.”
I don’t know who it is, but I can’t answer that it’s my girlfriend.
However, if you say that you are not in a relationship, the person you do not know may get angry, so I roughly covered it up as a date.
Last question to follow.
“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?”
He answered while staring straight into the camera of the reporter who asked a very good question to decorate the end.
“Be happy.”
Happiness is the best, everyone.
