Chapter 121 – Chapter 118 – A New Wind
Next to the highway.
Suddenly, in the middle of the green plain, a park was built.
With a large tombstone in the middle and the name written on it, it was clear at a glance that it was a space to commemorate and commemorate something.
The proof was the cold tombstones with only the names of people who could no longer be seen.
And at the end of the park, there were three tombstones.
Each tombstone had a name engraved on it.
He had his own name, his mother’s name, and finally his father’s name…
In front of him was a man holding a small girl’s hand and a woman watching them.
The man looked at the name of one of the tombstones and said with a vague expression.
“Father… I’m back…”
My father, whom I missed so much, had already gone to a place far away that I could not see.
The last time I saw my father was a month before Yurin and her wedding her.
I never imagined that my father, who corrected me at that time, would die like this in a few years.
That’s why he did n’t want to believe the words that came out of Sophia’s mouth her.
But now I had to admit it in my heart.
Because this cold tombstone was proof of that.
I already have only one family left…
Feeling the touch of the small palm, Suna recalled such a thought.
“I’m sorry… This kid… Can only… Say sorry to his father his…”
A daughter born to him and her mother her.
Her heart sank at the thought of it.
She recalled once again that she had committed a great sin against her father.
It happened because of Sophia, but I had no intention of making an excuse.
Sophia gave herself a chance called her contract her and she accepted it herself.
It was as if she did it because she wanted to.
She made this child just to serve as a vessel for Sophia, and when she remembered that time, she felt sorry for Jena.
However, she was aware of Yura’s gaze watching her from behind, so she couldn’t tell the truth.
“Dad…”
Yena, knowing Sun-ah’s feelings her well, tried to call her with her pitiful gaze at her.
Hearing her little cry of helplessness, she raised her own right hand to ease Jena’s concerns over her, and stroked her Jena’s head over her.
After that, Seon-ah was just staring at her tombstone and thinking blankly, as if she had a lot of complicated feelings.
“Now that I think about it… I’ve become a father… I’m not ready yet… I thought so… I wonder if my father felt this way too…”
It was a sincere statement that showed off her rejected feelings of her.
But she already had no one to answer her words.
Worrying was something that only the living could do.
Yura, watching her, felt like her own heart was breaking.
Her own daughter her, Mina’s family, who were ruined like that because of her abuse her, and her cruelty her were captured at a glance. There was no
Sun-a spoke again in front of her father’s grave her.
“Father… Someday… If the opportunity arises…”
‘I’ll get my mother back’
With her words at the end swallowed in my heart.
To be honest, it was close to impossible, so Sun-ah only thought of her back story her in her mind her.
The three couldn’t leave the tombstone for a while.
Because complicated feelings continued to hold on to my steps.
Yena, too, had no choice but to realize her situation her as she looked at the grave of her own grandfather her, Hyeon-tae.
She said that she was a child who shouldn’t have been born either in the Demon World or on Earth…
She couldn’t help but realize that.

The Fire Dragon Guild field workers felt uneasy whenever they said that a new recruit would come in.
No matter how short of a manpower it was, it was not happy to hear that a new recruit was coming in, but it was a headache.
This work they were doing was risky, so if the new recruits were degraded, they could all die together.
To put it bluntly, I preferred a hunter who joined the company as a headhunter with some experience rather than a newcomer.
Even if someone with a higher rank than themselves entered, they had no choice but to prefer the latter because their lives were at stake.
With her own life at stake, such shallow pride about how long she had stayed with her company she had long since been abandoned.
Probably the same idea no matter where you go in the same industry.
There was only one reason why I came up with this idea.
A new member came in today…
There were even rumors that she was a man, so she was surprised and immediately contacted the human resources department at the headquarters.
When a motive from the human resources department informed me that the rumor was true, I finally thought that the head office might be crazy.
Finally, when I thought that this giant guild could not withstand the trend of the times and applied the male recruitment quota system, I even thought that maybe it was me who had gone crazy because I couldn’t read the flow of the times.
He started working as a hunter at the age of 22, built up his career for 6 years, and now, at the age of 28, he was standing in the field as the deputy leader of the vanguard team belonging to the 3rd Suppression Unit at the Gate of the Fire Dragon Guild.
Of course, most of the high-ranking hunters of the Fire Dragon Guild who participated in the expedition died, so he was well aware that his promotion his was fast.
He always tried and tried again to become the right person for his position.
Otherwise, it was this industry where I had no choice but to die.
That’s why I knew all the more that this job, with a mortality rate of 15% per year, was hardly something a man could do.
A mere 15 percent mortality rate might be downplayed, but there are many other stumbling blocks.
Excluding the death rate, it was not uncommon for people to suffer from mental disorders due to injuries, mental attacks, or going out of their mind, and became disabled people who found it difficult to even carry out their daily lives.
If you think about that, it would be appropriate to calculate the sum of the annual death rate and retirement rate, not the death rate.
The disability retirement rate is 20 percent.
If you put those rates together, 35 percent of people retire or die every year.
Even the hunters themselves did not know how the industry could be maintained if there were so many people dying or retiring every year.
However, I was convinced that the reason would be that veterans continue to remain in their positions and play their role, and that the return rate of hunters who retired several years ago is quite high.
Most of the retired hunters had more psychological aftereffects than physical aftereffects.
Healers were able to heal most of the trauma, so even if a limb is cut off, you can bring the severed part and ask for it to be joined.
However, it was close to impossible to heal mental aftereffects because mental abilities were so rare, and restoring one’s mind was very difficult.
Even so, there were quite a few cases where hunters with mental disabilities returned.
The reason was more realistic than I thought.
The hunter job is more profitable than you think.
Even if you are a newcomer, you will receive an amount that is ten times the monthly salary of a typical office worker every time you clear the gate, so you can’t help but be greedy.
When he returns to society due to mental disability and does general work, he notices that his spending his has grown and his income his is different, and he returns to work.
She has witnessed many amazing situations where greed overcomes mental illness, and because she was herself, she could n’t help but laugh when she recalled the situation.
Originally, people with mental illness were not allowed to work as hunters, but a few years ago, many of the country’s high-ranking hunters died due to the expedition project, so the state enacted a law to fill the vacancy.
It was Park Yu-ra, the former representative of the Fire Dragon Guild, to which she belonged, who made that great achievement.
As a result, there were many cases where men who were physically and mentally weak could not stand it.
Other than that, being the priority target of monsters is the most terrifying thing.
In fact, when I first joined the company as a new recruit, I remembered that a man joined the company as a jockey.
Was his name His Kim Hyo-won?
I remembered the name of the senior who was registered as an accident case and now only his name his is left in this world.
The story of him being kidnapped by a vampire belonging to a high-ranking monster was honestly shocking.
When a man on the supply team heard that the lead team leader of the lower gate suppression unit, which was composed of C-class or lower hunters at the time, made a mistake while trying to use it as bait, he realized that monsters were not the only obstacles for men to work as hunters. I couldn’t help but know
In order to get only 20 percent more of the work that would normally have been done with the clearing team, he used the innocent supply crew as he wished.
Greed.
Whether it was someone else’s or one’s own, it was something to be wary of.
While working as a hunter for 6 years, crossing life and death, the biggest lesson I learned was that I had to let go of my greed.
Otherwise, someone will become a victim of greed.
Or did you destroy yourself due to greed?
It was either one.
This Hunter Day was a place where one could not be greedy.
If greed dominates the heart even for a moment, the scapegoat is likely to be a male hunter.
“Chief… A new recruit is coming this time…”
“I heard about it too… A man?…”
“Haa… To be honest, it’s nice that that rare healer has supported the vanguard team, but I’m worried that he won’t attract too much aggro when he enters the gate.”
The monsters were so intelligent that they targeted the hunters who used healing abilities first when clearing the gate with a healer.
It was natural because they knew very well that they were the same intelligent beings as them.
Even so, I imagined how much aggro would be attracted to him if he added that he was a man with healing powers.
If the monsters in charge of the man’s body odor focused on him, a difficult situation could have arisen.
Besides, even the appearance was the same, but he was a humanoid creature with slightly thicker skin, fur, and hide, so he also had a hard time killing monsters at first.
I was worried that the new man would be shocked to see such monsters die in front of his eyes, and that the team’s ability to carry out their duties would be reduced and their lives even at risk.
I was worried about everything from one to ten things just for the reason that I was a man.
“Yeah… If it weren’t for the man… I would have been a little trustworthy…”
“Chief Sua Kim… Are you a Reds?… Don’t come close…”
In order to shake off the heavy atmosphere, the deputy team leader joked with the team leader.
When the team leader heard the story, he laughed madly and tried to hit the vice-team leader on the back his with the palm of his hand.
“No, are you crazy? Where to the sky high boss”
“That’s the difference between the two, isn’t it?”
It was a prank that they could play because they were close friends.
We couldn’t get to know each other like this before.
After many of the B-class or higher hunters belonging to the Fire Dragon Guild died due to the expedition incident, a new wind came to the Fire Dragon Guild, and most of the remaining high-level hunters moved or retired.
Among them, the jockey was close and had a good personality, and the two who joined the Fire Dragon Guild from the beginning as new recruits could not help but become close naturally.
While the two were joking around.
Someone knocked on the door of the office of the vanguard team of the 3rd Suppression Unit.
“Is it okay if I come in? I’m Kim Seo-ra, the head of the Human Resources Department, from the headquarters.”
The thing to come has finally come.
It was clear that the head of the HR department had come directly from the head office, bringing the person he had been talking about so far.
Team leader Kim Soo-ah’s eyes began to narrow.
