I Installed a Dating App and These Otherworld Virgins Became Obsessed With Me. 49

## Chapter 49 – 49. The End

#49. The End

The expected response to this isolated gate was a cooperative effort between numerous hunters and the Magic Tower, establishing a defensive line at the gate’s entrance to deal with the emerging monsters.

The reason for this expectation was simple.

It was the most common, efficient, and least casualty-intensive method.

Here, casualties didn’t refer to ordinary people. Frankly, in this era, the life of a C-class hunter was more valuable than the lives of dozens of civilians.

I didn’t think anyone would voluntarily enter a B-class gate, especially in a break situation, under the guise of a rescue team.

That’s what I thought, but…

“You’re such a romantic?”

A B-class gate, the upper-tier gate known as the worst disaster.

That’s why I never imagined someone would dare to come to rescue us.

‘…But if it’s the Master of the Magic Tower, that’s a different story.’

The ashen hair that looked like volcanic ash was scattering and the obsidian-embedded eyes reminded me of someone that every Korean would know.

Perhaps one of the twelve strongest mages in the world, and the most powerful mage in Korea, Hah Lael, the Master of the Gray Magic Tower.

The C-class and C-minus hunters gathered in front of the gate, and even the B-minus monsters equivalent to Wendigos, vanished in an instant.

There were no corpses of monsters where Hah Lael’s magic had passed. It was as if they had turned to ashes, the pure white snowfield dyed gray.

That was the power of a 7-circle mage. Just witnessing it briefly, I felt an enormous gap.

I realized that the difference between the 2nd and 7th circles wasn’t just a numerical game of five levels.

It made me wonder just how strong Iris, who had reached the 8th circle, really was.

‘…If I get out of prison, they’re all going to be wiped out.’

I offered a silent prayer in my heart for Pelledeia, which might soon become a sea of fire.

“Nice to meet you. I probably don’t need a separate introduction, do I?”

Hah Lael, who had nonchalantly massacred dozens of monsters in an instant, offered me a handshake.

“Of course not. How could I not recognize the undisputed strongest mage in Korea?”

I never imagined I would actually meet the Master of the Magic Tower.

It wasn’t just a feeling of novelty.

Is this how a graduate student feels when they meet someone who has won the Nobel Prize in their field?

The dazed and happy feeling was fleeting.

‘I’m really going to die…’

Perhaps because I used too much mana to get Choi Hye-na out, my physical condition was terrible.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I collapsed right now.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

As soon as Hah Lael’s finger touched my forehead, an unbearable drowsiness washed over me.

My consciousness faded.

“Leave the rest to me, and get some rest now.”

With her faint smile, my memory ended there.

***

Hah Lael looked down at the collapsed Kang Hyun-woo with cold eyes.

It was hard to believe she was the same person as before, but it wasn’t because she disliked Kang Hyun-woo.

Rather, this was Hah Lael, her true nature.

A mask created solely for the dignity of the Master of the Magic Tower.

Now that there was no reason to wear the bothersome mask, Hah Lael looked at Kang Hyun-woo without pretense.

“Indeed… the saying that he is loved by mana isn’t just a figure of speech.”

He was truly loved by mana.

Affection, attention, and obsession – phenomena that couldn’t be observed from mana, which clearly had no ego.

“It was worth coming all this way.”

Outside, countless citizens had to evacuate due to the B-class gate that appeared in the heart of the capital, and the Hunter Association had to cooperate with the Magic Tower to prepare for the disaster.

Despite such a serious situation, none of the monsters that had nested in the country of Korea came forward.

Originally, they never moved easily.

Whether it was for public or private interest.

Hah Lael was one of them, with ten bodies not being enough to handle the work she had to do as the Master of the Magic Tower and the magic research she was personally conducting. Go beyond the gate and save people?

She thought it was more profitable to do magic research during that time.

She had no time or reason to be interested in mere ‘volunteer work.’

What made her arrive here was the report that Choi Young-ok had given her.

A few days ago, Choi Young-ok, who had visited her workshop, asked her to save her granddaughter and grandson-in-law. Of course, it wasn’t just an appeal based on emotion.

The thoroughly prepared proposal systematically listed everything she could gain in return for helping.

Other monetary gains, of course, and helping Choi Hye-na, the sole heir of the Seongbuk Choi family, was enough to put the Seongbuk Choi family in considerable debt, but that wasn’t enough.

She wasn’t interested.

A mage must exclude emotions and always act with an eye to profit and loss.

In that respect, Choi Young-ok’s proposal was not very attractive to Hah Lael.

Hah Lael, a mage who had to exclude emotions and review all proposals, ironically rejected this proposal simply because it was not something that would move her emotions, her interest.

However, Choi Young-ok was also a veteran mage who had experienced all sorts of hardships. She predicted that Hah Lael would not move with just the compensation in her proposal, so she handed her another report.

Hah Lael’s eyes changed from moment to moment as she skimmed through the report.

-…Is this real?

Even now, she couldn’t easily forget the shock she felt when she received the report.

Creating a circle in just one week, and reaching the 2nd circle again in another week? If this was true, it was an overwhelming achievement that would not be broken in the past or future.

Even the one called the first Master of the Magic Tower couldn’t have done this. It was the moment when her lacking interest was filled.

“I was short of B-class boss monster magic stones, but sometimes local procurement might not be so bad.”

Hah Lael stroked Ae-jang and moved forward.

In front of the overwhelming magic power that was beyond description, the ice golem raised its massive body, but the subsequent result was obvious.

Ding-

“Heok?!”

I opened my eyes to the familiar notification sound ringing in my ears.

A pure white ceiling greeted me.

“Where is this…”

A fluffy bed, a strange pad attached to my chest, and familiar patient clothes.

There was no doubt, it was a hospital.

[Affinity Change]
[Choi Hye-na 70♡ → 85♡]
[Relationship Level Change]
[Choi Hye-na Lv.2 → Lv.3]

“It’s not like a dating sim game, why do you keep showing me this…”

I swiped the screen in front of me to the side and lay back down on the bed.

Strangely, I couldn’t put any strength into my body.

“I don’t have my phone…?”

I was curious about why I was in the hospital, how much time had passed, and how the aftermath had been handled, but I couldn’t see my phone.

Beep-

I had no choice but to press the call button to summon a nurse.

“By the way, isn’t this room too luxurious for a hospital room?”

I knew that private rooms were expensive, but the whole room was too luxurious to be called a hospital room.

The bed alone was so fluffy that I wanted to take it home.

Just like I couldn’t put strength into my body, my head wasn’t working well either, as if it was foggy.

While I was having all sorts of random thoughts according to the flow of consciousness, I heard someone running urgently down the hallway in the distance.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and soon people who appeared to be doctors and nurses opened the hospital room door and came in.

“A-are you awake, patient??”
“Uh…”

I was flustered.

I thought only one nurse would come at most, but I didn’t expect a group of doctors and nurses to come.

I was wondering what was going on, but the doctor was shining a flashlight in my eyes, looking at the monitor connected to the pad on my body, and moving busily without giving me a chance to ask anything.

The nurses were also running around doing something, but I didn’t know what they were doing.

“…Can someone explain what’s going on?”

Why did I wake up in the hospital, what happened outside, was Choi Hye-na safe, etc. There were so many things I wanted to ask right away.

“Ah, we’ve called your guardian, so please wait a moment.”
“Guardian…?”

The only person I could call my guardian was Sister Superior. So is Sister Superior really coming?

I was definitely going to visit her as soon as I escaped from the gate, but I didn’t want to reunite like this.

At least, I was going to return home in a neat suit with gifts in both hands.

‘She’ll be worried if I meet her in a patient gown…’

I was worried that if my reunion with my bad son, who hadn’t contacted her properly for several years since I became independent, was like this, it would be like stabbing Sister Superior in the heart.

Knock!

The hospital room door opened roughly and a familiar face appeared.

“Ka, Kang Hyun-woo!”

Scattering red hair, deep purple eyes, and the voluptuous breasts I had touched countless times.

It was Choi Hye-na.

‘Why are you here?’

Well, Sister Superior wasn’t rich enough to pay for this luxury hospital room, so I expected it to some extent.

But I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“Thank goodness…”

Choi Hye-na came to my side with tears in her eyes.

I could tell how urgently she had run just by looking at her disheveled hair.

The way she was breathing roughly was enough to make anyone mistake her for the heroine of a romance drama.

As Kang Hyun-woo expected, Choi Hye-na hadn’t slept or eaten properly for the past few days.

She had witnessed the moment when Kang Hyun-woo, who had stayed alone in the gate to let her out, was carried away in an ambulance, so how could she rest comfortably alone?

Every day felt like swallowing sharp needles.

When she heard that he had woken up, she was already running before she could even think.

In the hospital room she arrived at, there was Kang Hyun-woo looking at her with his unique blank eyes.

“Are you okay? Does anything hurt?”

Choi Hye-na grabbed Kang Hyun-woo’s wrist and checked his condition, completely forgetting that there were doctors and nurses there.

Of course, the doctors and nurses were just watching the two people’s affectionate relationship with a happy smile.

But the atmosphere in the hospital room turned cold with Kang Hyun-woo’s next words.

“Um, who are you…?”
“…What?”

Choi Hye-na’s eyes trembled.

“Hey… don’t joke around…!”
“I-I’m serious. I don’t remember anything…”

It wasn’t Kang Hyun-woo’s usual rude and perverted voice and tone.

At that moment, Choi Hye-na remembered the cases of people who had been exposed to high concentrations of mana and became disabled.

It was usually a symptom that only ordinary people got, but she had heard that sometimes lower-level hunters suffered such aftereffects from contacting higher-level monsters.

Choi Hye-na grabbed Kang Hyun-woo’s hand with trembling hands.

“Y-you really don’t remember anything…?”
“…No.”

Thud, she heard something falling in Choi Hye-na’s heart.

Her heart ached so much.

He had saved her life several times, and in the end, he had even sacrificed himself.

When he came out of the gate alive, she thought it was really fortunate. Although he was carried away in an ambulance and hadn’t opened his eyes for four days, she was still grateful that he was alive.

But what is this?

Amnesia…!

Amnesia was a tragic disease for ordinary people, but for a mage, amnesia was also a death sentence that meant they could no longer work as a mage.

“Could it be… are you my girlfriend… no, my wife?”
“Ah…”

Choi Hye-na, seeing the somewhat anxious look in Kang Hyun-woo’s eyes, made a firm decision.

Yes, he had saved her life several times.

The grace of life must be repaid with life.

Of course, she had no intention of giving up her life as a mage. She had something she had to achieve even if she risked her life.

However, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t marry someone. As the sole heir of the Seongbuk Choi family, it was also her destiny to continue the family line.

In that sense, she looked at Kang Hyun-woo again.

His appearance was ordinary, but he was tall. His talent as a mage was so overwhelming that it would bring about the revival of the Seongbuk Choi family.

‘…Looking at him again, he’s not bad looking…?’

Of course, there was the problem that he was a bit of a pervert, but that was to be expected of a vigorous man in his twenties.

Her grandmother, the head of the family, had also acknowledged him, so there would be no problem with marriage.

“That’s right! I’m Hyun-woo’s wife…!”
“Um… guardian?”

Choi Hye-na, who was about to declare her determination with her heart pounding as if it would burst, was stopped by an unexpected person.

He was the doctor in charge of Kang Hyun-woo and the director of the hospital.

“I’m sorry, but the patient does not have amnesia.”
“…Yes?”

What kind of nonsense is that?

Choi Hye-na looked back and forth between the doctor and the nurse with a blank expression, and finally turned her gaze to Kang Hyun-woo.

Kang Hyun-woo was staring blankly at something beyond the window, avoiding eye contact with her.

“…Sorry.”

Choi Hye-na’s face turned as red as her hair with those words thrown without even looking at her.

Knock!

That day, the glass window of the VIP room flew out completely.

The testimony of witnesses that a person fell out of the hospital room along with the glass window disappeared without a trace due to lack of evidence.
