Chapter 667 – Side Story Episode 1. The Story After That
“Hey, you son of a bitch…”
The man who cursed swallowed his nerves and thrust his sword towards the unidentified creature.
Kikigeek- Kikigigigeek?
A noise that hits your ears and an ugly appearance that makes you feel bad just by looking at it.
The strange creature in front of you is a monster born from the traces of hell found throughout the Earth.
Because this was an opponent that B-class Hunter Chris would risk his life for, Chris did not stop confronting him even though his legs were shaking.
“Oh, Chris…”
“Do not worry. “Hold on just a little longer and a rescue team will come.”
Chris smiled at the trembling civilians.
… Of course it’s a lie. The radio used to call for rescue was already broken.
If you don’t kill that monster, everyone here will die.
Even though Chris knew it, he lied to put the civilians at ease.
Crackling-gurgling!
“Ugh… !”
Kwaang-!
But the monster did not understand Chris’ kind lie.
The monster had to eat the prey in front of him and become stronger.
That’s the only thought a creature in hell can think of.
That’s why it rushed towards its prey.
Chaeng-
Chris had a sense of responsibility that was unusual for a B-level hunter, but he was not that strong.
After sharing a few sums with the monster, Chris’s sword shattered like glass.
“Oh my… !”
Crack deude deuk!
The monster did not miss that opportunity.
Before Chris could even pull out his spare dagger, he bit off the human’s neck.
Paaaaang-!
A moment of desperation.
A blue magic barrier separated Chris and the monster.
“I lived, I lived… ?”
Chris opened his eyes wide as he saw the barrier surrounding him.
He had never felt beautiful while looking at magic, but the barrier before his eyes was truly artistic.
“Looking at the clothes, it looks like the Korean branch of the Iris Guild… “Why didn’t you ask for help?”
“Sorry. The device is broken… This person… ! Wizard Lee Ho-yeon… !”
Chris turned his head towards the rescue team and his eyes widened.
Lee Ho-yeon Wizard.
A hero of humanity stood before his eyes.
He smiled and looked at Chris as if he was used to it.
“If anyone looks at them, they look like they’ve seen a monster. Hmm? Ah, I remembered it when I saw his face. You saw it at the Korean branch. Chris. Right?”
“Huh, huh. Thanks. Thank you! “You remember the name of a guy like me!”
“I have a pretty good memory.”
Hoyeon Lee naturally passed by the man who was giving her touching eyes.
He then stretched out his hand to the monster baring its teeth to bite the barrier.
“Spiral.”
Kku-kkkkuk
The monster caught up in the storm of magic was reduced to dust without even being able to properly resist.
Lee Ho-yeon released his hand and threw the radio in his pocket to Chris, who was sitting blankly.
“I’m contacting the association with this. I want to take you to a safe place, but I have to go somewhere else right away. “There are no monsters around, so you’ll be safe.”
“Thank you. “Wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”
“What. Chris, you were cool too, right? “They probably knew it would be difficult to win, but they were trying to protect civilians.”
“Ah, ahaha…”
“You seem to have a talent for swords. Mr. Chris. “Please continue to do your best.”
“… Thank you! “Wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”
After Lee Ho-yeon left with a smile.
Class B Hunter Chris felt something boiling deep in her heart.
The praise given by humanity’s strongest wizard will give him strength for his future life.
[Recording]
“Wow… “It’s really cool.”
And the smart watch of the civilian behind Chris had a red light on.
*
Now, less than two months have passed since the large-scale war against the devil in Korea ended.
Lee Ho-yeon, the hero of humanity, was moving around without a break to clean up after the battle.
All of the divine power gained from defeating the gods of this world was used to remain in this world, and the Earth, which was more than half assimilated with hell, still remained.
The cleanup was the responsibility of the remaining humans.
… If that’s all it takes, it’ll be okay.
Lee Ho-yeon was more comfortable in combat.
There is nothing more annoying than cleaning up afterward.
“Baby dad. Look at this. An article appeared saying that this is what wizard Lee Ho-yeon usually looks like. “I heard that it was very touching to see even a low-level hunter remember his name without ignoring him.”
A red-haired beauty approached Lee Ho-yeon, who was resting idly in the living room.
She was Rebecca.
Her Internet article showed a video of herself smiling and giving her well-wishes to Chris.
Looking at the comments praising Lee Ho-yeon below, her face automatically turned red.
“… Why is there a video like this?”
“I think one of the civilians the baby daddy saved took the picture with a smart watch.”
“No, even if you save these people, are you going to film something like this? “What a dangerous situation it was.”
“You mean well, but why are you doing this? Baby daddy These things accumulate and become an image. And the baby’s father looks better in the video than in the photo.”
“Image. Yes. I know that, but…”
Image and all, it’s so hard that I’m dying.
That was what Hoyeon Lee felt.
The reason I can sit still in the living room right now is because I took a short vacation.
Since we had taken care of almost all the dangerous places that required Hoyeon Lee’s help, it was now time for the other hunters to do their best.
“Oppa~. Are you sleeping at home today?”
“Huh. Dahee. It feels like it’s been a while since I last saw you. “Oh my.”
Lee Ho-yeon smiled as she saw Nam Da-hee clinging to her.
She heard that she was preparing dinner with Nam Da-eun, but seeing as she is here, it looks like she is finished preparing dinner.
“Dahee. “Don’t be too clingy to Hoyeon.”
Nam Da-eun came out of the kitchen with a delicious smell.
She took off her apron and carefully sat down next to Lee Ho-yeon.
Ho-yeon Lee looked at Nam Da-eun in a familiar way and leaned on her shoulder.
“Da-eun. “What’s for dinner tonight?”
“Today is Liliana’s favorite chicken. Oh, now that I think about it, I had something to say…”
“What should I say?”
“You’re all here.”
As she was looking at Nam Da-eun, who suddenly had an awkward expression on her face, another person came into the living room.
It was Scarlett, a blonde beauty wearing a neat suit who had just gotten home from work at the Iris Korean branch.
“Mr. Scarlett. Are you here? “Would you like a cup of tea?”
“I will just accept your heart. Miss Da Eun. “Now that we’re all here, I have something to say.”
“Entire? Liliana is in her room.”
“… About Liliana.”
Liliana.
As soon as Hoyeon Lee heard her name, she guessed the topic Scarlett was about to bring up.
“Liliana… It got so weird.”
“Ah, ahaha… Liliana has grown up too. “It’s been really strange so far, right?”
“Rebecca may be right. He’s not acting strange though. Umm. Still a little…”
Hoyeon Lee nodded her head as she watched the three of them talking seriously about Liliana.
Liliana has been acting strange recently.
To be exact… It’s fair to say she’s back the way she was.
‘Emergency emergency! ‘Tonight’s dinner is a half-and-half robot chicken set!’
‘I ate a fruit called mango yesterday and it was really delicious! So I ordered 10 boxes via rocket delivery. ‘Let’s share it together!’
‘Ah, but I’m sick of eating two. You guys take care of the rest! ‘Okay then!’
Liliana, who brought life to her home with her daily adventures, has disappeared.
Now she’s there…
‘Chicken? Chicken is good, but sometimes I want to eat something else.’
‘Net… Go? No, I’m just going to rest in my room. ‘Please don’t disturb me.’
‘Broadcast? … Why did I do such a stupid thing? ‘I’m curious about myself too.’
Yes.
Recently, Liliana has really grown up.
And that in just one day.
“I heard that the sealed memories have returned…”
“But it’s still hard to accept, isn’t it?”
“Yes…”
At Rebecca’s words, Nam Da-eun nodded her head as if she felt regretful.
It is only when something is there that it is not there that you feel the empty space.
When I saw Liliana’s antics, it was absurd and funny, but it was so sad when it was gone.
Of course, that wasn’t the only problem.
“Hoenn is the only one who can handle this problem.”
“… Me?”
“Yes. “No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t do it.”
“Uh… Do you really need to mess with Liliana? “I think if I just leave it alone, I’ll get used to it naturally.”
Lee Ho-yeon, who hasn’t been coming to her house often lately, has noticed a change in Liliana.
The crazy succubus who screamed every day became quiet, and Lee Ho-yeon felt awkward at first.
But that only lasted a day or two.
Liliana, with her changed personality, had her own charm.
Plus, you can see her old self in her bed, which makes it even cuter.
“That’s probably because Hoyeon doesn’t come home often. Hoyeon doesn’t know. Liliana’s daily life… “Awkwardness.”
“Awkwardness?”
“Yes. “It’s an awkwardness that’s hard to describe in words.”
“If it had changed at all, I wouldn’t have even told the baby’s father.”
“I tried to adapt to Liliana too… Ugh, it was so hard. “If it’s not Hoyeon, conversation won’t work.”
“… Okay?”
Seeing all three of them acting like that, it seems like there’s definitely a problem with Liliana.
If you think about it, it’s true that she barely came home for a month.
There was so much to do, and I needed time to take care of the other heroines.
Thump-thump-
At that time, the sound of someone coming down from the second floor was heard.
They say even tigers will come when told, and Liliana came down.
“Sniff. Hmm. “What is this smell?”
As soon as she got down, Liliana turned to her kitchen and began to sniff, concentrating all her attention on her nose.
That kind of behavior was all too familiar to Lee Ho-yeon.
Because she always did that when she smelled her favorite chicken.
‘What? Suddenly, I feel like I’m seeing the original Liliana.’
Sensing the smell of her chicken, the corners of her mouth rose to the point of clown.
A faint smile also appeared on Lee Ho-yeon’s face. She was able to anticipate what Liliana would say when she said she was hers.
”Uhehe. ‘It’s chicken.’
Liliana laughed and then turned her head to look this way.
The moment I discovered this place. Her eyes widened and the corners of her mouth lowered as if she were lying.
“Right… Huh. “It’s chicken today too.”
“…?”
“It’s chicken. Okay. “Let’s all have dinner.”
Gun gun gun.
Liliana left only those words and entered the kitchen, and Hoyeon Lee stared blankly behind her.
‘What? ‘What about those awkward body movements?’
I think I understand why other heroines are dissatisfied.
It feels like the old Liliana comes out and goes in.
The word ‘awkward’ is most appropriate.
“Scarlett. “Why is he like that?”
“That’s why I’m asking Hoenn for help. “Even when we asked her, she just tilted her head and asked us what she was talking about.”
“It sure is strange.”
“Yes. “Thanks to you, Liliana, you have no idea how difficult dinner will be.”
Ho-yeon Lee, who only then realized the seriousness of the situation, nodded his head.
I’m glad if it’s nothing special… It seems necessary to prepare for the worst and consult directly.
‘Maybe he has a mental problem.’
After Liliana’s memories of her past were sealed away, she lived a hikikomori life for over 10 years. Even after she came to Earth, she lived a life of debauchery for almost a year, so her memories of Liliana Calliope, the terror of her hell, must be foreign to her.
Perhaps the confusion in her memories that arose in the process may have created such a phenomenon.
If she had a succubus queen, she would at least try to talk to her, but she disappeared somewhere as soon as her demon lord died.
Liliana’s problem has no choice but to be solved by Lee Ho-yeon.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve had an honest conversation with Liliana.’
After finishing thinking, Hoyeon Lee stood up.
Then there will be no oyakodon…
