Chapter 239 – The Kraken Attack (1)
Leading by Joon-yi’s hand, he arrived at the rear area located a little away from the surveillance battalion.
It is used as a shelter for B-rank hunters and a simple treatment center for healers.
Among them, we entered the largest tent, Juyeon’s personal space.
As soon as you step inside, he puts his hand on his waist and makes a stern expression.
“You!”
Come to think of it, Juyeon is also in a bit of an unfair position.
When her nephew insisted on bringing her as a personal escort, she surprised people with a single act while wearing a mask, and even received a punishment that was not appropriate for her age.
Contrary to the expectation that a rather angry voice would be heard.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
The only thing contained in the tone that followed was concern.
Hey… , Juyeon is an angel.
Bear with this
Before we can reply, she lets out a sigh of relief and smiles faintly as she sends out her pure white light to check her condition.
“Fortunately, there are no injuries.”
People sometimes repent of their sins with a word of warmth rather than a few words of angry anger.
Seo-yeon bows her head, feeling that she has caused trouble to many people.
“Sorry… , Aunt.”
Jooyeon Han lightly stroked Seoyeon’s hair.
“Are you okay. Anyone can make mistakes. Instead, why not make the same mistake over and over again?”
“… Huh.”
Seoyeon nodded her head cautiously.
She then glances at me standing next to her and she says the same thing.
“… Sorry. Because of me, you got involved in it for no reason.”
Hmm.
I don’t know what to say.
If she was her father, she would have scolded her and hugged her, but if she did now, she would look very strange.
“Are you okay. If you just pay attention next time.”
“Huh… , I will.”
This was my best
Because I didn’t want to dig deeper and complicate the relationship or the situation.
When her conversation cuts off with an awkward feeling, Joon-yeon looks at her with her inflated face.
“Dojin was cool earlier. It wouldn’t have been easy to step out like that in front of my sister.”
“It seems so.”
It’s not easy.
As Joo-yeon said, Joo-hee Han has changed a lot.
I lost my composure to the point where I couldn’t tolerate someone throwing up at my words.
I work every day as if I’m being chased, and if I’m so busy, I might think of letting go of at least one thing, but I try my best not to miss anything even in the midst of hardship.
Did you lose your time because you had a lot of work, or did you throw away your time to do more things?
Now I’ve come to the point where I don’t know which one is the correct answer.
Feeling sorry for her changed appearance, seeing her darkened expression, she covers my cheek.
“Don’t take to heart what your sister said.”
She seemed to think I was hurt by her careless words.
“What… , It’s a long time ago, so it’s nothing, at least that much.”
Siwoo Son and Dojin Kim.
Two bodies that are completely opposite to each other have only one thing in common.
He is an orphan who was abandoned by his parents as soon as he was born.
In the past, we fought a lot because of words like that.
Either as a child or as an adult.
When I heard that I was an orphan, I got angry and had to torture the other person to feel better.
But as I got older, I naturally became dull.
“You’re dignified, our Do-jin.”
A word of warm words while I was careless for a while.
Jooyeon puts her hand on my shoulder and pulls me in.
“It hurts… !?”
The body that was accidentally dragged into a soft airbag… Hit the same chest
Moderately elastic, it feels like you are putting a soft cushion on your head.
“That makes my heart hurt even more.”
A voice full of sadness lands in my ears.
“How hard was it alone until now… , It seems that all of that dignified and confident appearance was made to overcome it.”
“…”
Not now, but… , That was certainly the case in the old days.
In order not to look down on me as an orphan, I tried to look dignified, and in order not to lose my confidence, I dressed up in luxury items that I had never been interested in, and sometimes I went out to fill my stomach with only very expensive food.
But that was really useless.
No matter what other people say, as long as I and the people around me are okay, it doesn’t matter.
Rather, I am most concerned about the feel of my hair right now.
The faintly sweet scent of flowers and the unique touch of a man’s chest, which is hard to shake off, drives people crazy.
I was worried about what would happen if I really got an erection.
How long are you going to hold onto me…
At the moment of worrying, he finally lets me out of his arms.
“If you have any problems in the future or need help, come to the teacher anytime.”
“Uh… , Nothing…”
“Didn’t you say that it will happen in the future?”
I flinched slightly at the power I felt at the moment.
“… Okay.”
“A promise?”
As she puts her finger on her outstretched little finger.
A female nurse came through her tent and shouted urgently.
“Healer! An emergency patient will arrive in one minute!”
“Yes! Please let me in right away.”
It seems that Joo-yeon has an urgent patient.
“Do you want to go out and rest for a while?”
“Yes I will.”
“… Huh.”
Go outside and look up at the sky so as not to interfere with the treatment.
It is early evening when the sun is slowly going down.
It’s about time to eat…
“Let’s go get something to eat.”
“… Yes, fine.”
I take the hesitant guy with a gloomy expression and head to the restaurant.
After filling my stomach with a generous amount of rice, I arrived in front of the accommodation with a leisurely step.
Before going inside, I asked him.
“Senior.”
“Huh?”
“You’re not going to do the same thing tomorrow, are you?”
“Uh… , Yes, I won’t.”
“…”
It took 12 seconds to respond.
He’s obviously going to do the same thing tomorrow.
You’re probably thinking in your head how you can go out without being noticed by everyone.
“Lie.”
Then the guy blushes.
“Tea… , A lot?”
“Yes. It would be better for you not to lie at all.”
“Sorry.”
Whew.
Die rather than get sick
“See you at dawn tomorrow in front of the big tent that was there earlier.”
“Uh… , Uh, uh?”
“Let’s do it together.”
He realized that he couldn’t be stopped unless he broke it in one place and tied it down.
I’d rather have him around than go somewhere alone and watch him act clumsily.
Do you know that feeling or not?
The guy nods his head with a bright smile that is rare these days.
“… Huh!”
“…”
The head turns to the temple with a bright expression without a countermeasure.
I can’t just spit on a smiling face.
Maybe that’s good, really.

Late evening.
Han Joo-hee was sitting alone in an empty conference room, sipping strong alcohol and thinking.
My younger brother, who was always on the losing side, stood up to me for the first time.
That alone is shocking enough, but the words she left behind before she left constantly haunt me.
‘I’ve changed…’
It was already the third time I’ve heard it.
It was her husband who first said it.
And the second daughter.
To the last brother.
Three times she dismissed her reply with the same remark.
‘It’s natural for people to change when they get older.’
As you get older, you go through a lot of changes.
My stamina is low, and I get tired easily even with a little movement.
Such changes are not limited to the body.
Beliefs that I have kept for decades, even the promises that I have promised to keep for the rest of my life.
It has been worn and worn over the years, and its shape changes to the point where you don’t know what it looked like originally.
‘Not just me, but everyone.’
Ten for ten, hundred for a hundred.
Everyone is subject to change.
Everyone she had ever seen was like that.
Except for one person, my husband.
“Ha…”
Know.
That some of the actions he committed today included things he clearly shouldn’t have done.
For example, things like threatening my daughter, what I said to Kim Do-jin, and a high-handed attitude.
Even though I knew it was wrong, I couldn’t stand it.
My daughter who keeps trying to escape from my gaze, and Kim Do-jin who stands up to defend it.
Even my younger brother who confronted me for the first time to protect the two of them.
“… I’m the only one who has a bad bitch.”
Exhausted
To the extent that even an S-class hunter’s body, which cannot feel the physical burden, could not endure it.
Documents piled up in the library every day, events where you had to show your face, personal requests you couldn’t refuse, even research.
To maintain a life without leisure, a tight plan was needed.
As a result, from some point on, if something that has nothing to do with my plan, or something that goes against my plan, happens, I get angry.
The thought that precious time was wasted, the question of why the most efficient plan was not being followed.
Those things turned into anger and became a person who pours out barbed words.
Even though she knew it was never the right thing to do, she stayed the same.
Because it was the best way to digest all the tight schedule within the set time.
I want to put everything down, but I can’t.
‘If that happens, everything will be over.’
That would make things easier for now, but towards the end it will turn into the worst situation.
“Ha…”
Deep remorse permeates the deep sigh.
A daughter who doesn’t listen, a younger brother who opposes me.
More than that, the thing that bothered me the most was the thoughtless words thrown at Kim Do-jin.
“Why would you say something like that…”
It was a level of abusive language that was hard to understand even if he said he did it because he was angry.
I lost my temper for a moment.
What could have made her so angry?
‘… I look alike, he does.’
I saw her husband in the appearance of Kim Do-jin who went out to wrap his hand Seo-yeon.
Her husband, daughter and brother.
I felt angry and unfair as the three of them embraced each other and made me feel like a bad person.
Even though I knew that it was because of my actions, I felt so lonely that I couldn’t stand it at that moment.
“Ah, what is it?”
At that time.
Someone opened the door to the empty meeting room and entered.
“Were you drinking alone? Huh?”
Kim Taeyang, a man who dyed his hair yellow, walks with his tongue flying.
“If you need a drinking partner, you shouldn’t have talked. I would have drank as much as I could.”
Then, he grabs the bottle of alcohol in front of her table and gulps it down.
He drank her strong drink like her water and looked down at her with her lustful eyes.
Han Joo-hee was the person he always wanted to lie in bed with, who couldn’t use his legs when it came to women.
However, because she is so busy and her husband is Son Si-woo, he was only peeking at her opportunity.
‘Is today the opportunity? Hehe.’
When I was about to sit next to her with a smile, thinking that maybe today would be the day.
“Turn it off.”
The cold, sharp words stopped his movement.
Others would have given up and ran away, but Kim Taeyang was not.
“Isn’t it too cold? How about building friendships with the same S-class hunters?”
An arm stretched toward her shoulder with a smirk.
If she had been another woman, she would have given it away unintentionally.
However, Han Joo-hee did not allow this at all.
Roaring!
“Ugh… !?”
Instead, I punished her by wrapping her arm in flames as she reached out to me.
Surprised, Taeyang Kim uses magical powers to put out the fire on his skin.
Han Joo-hee stood up from her seat and glared at him with fierce eyes and warned him.
“Don’t even think about touching me. For now, it’s just a simple warning…”
A voice full of life follows.
“Next time I will burn your whole body without any warning.”
Gulp!
Kim Tae-yang, who is very nervous about living in a space that fills up, swallows.
Han Joo-hee radiates terrifying energy and walks away.
Soon after, his breath is freed, and he is breaking out in a cold sweat, recalling the words he had just spoken.
“The same S-class hunter… ? Ha, fuck.”
It was dog shit.
