Chapter 46
Episode 46:
Five Plates of Pieces of Cake.
Shin Yoo-seong was recovering his consumed stamina with drinks and cakes. Kim Eun-ah shook her head and clicked her tongue at the appearance of Shin Yoo-seong.
“I’ll pretend. Is it that delicious?”
“very.”
Let’s eat tiramisu with a spoon again. Kim Eun-ah looked at her with her chin resting.
“Why do you hate coffee? Do you like tiramisu?”
Even if he asked, Shin Yoo-seong had no way to express the taste. soft cream cheese. Sweet bread soaked in syrup. Bitter coffee powder that takes away the sweetness.
“Can I have another one?”
Shin Yoo-seong was happy with the cake in front of him. If you think about it, it’s a natural reaction. For Shin Yoo-seong, who had a diet close to abstinence in Mt. Musin, the stimulating food outside was the tyranny of taste.
‘How many of these for 10 million won…’
Shin Yoo-seong was thanking Kim Eun-ah again for the taste of the cake. It was the moment when I realized the value of money of 10 million won.
“Yeah, do as you please. No, why don’t you just buy it here?”
Kim Eun-ah, being so sarcastic, held out a black card. Kim Eun-ah’s joke about buying a cafe did not sound like a joke to Shin Yoo-seong.
‘…If Eun-ah said something like that, it wouldn’t sound like a joke.’
Shin Yoo-seong was also accustomed to Kim Eun-ah’s expressions. It’s not honest and clumsy, but the current attitude was Kim Eun-ah’s own friendly expression.
Kim Eun-ah, the only daughter of a chaebol group, would not even talk to her partner unless she was really interested.
Shin Yoo-seong’s kindness now is proof that he has developed a sense of intimacy beyond interest.
Kim Eun-ah looked at the window and asked Shin Yoo-seong.
“By the way, will you return right after patrol?”
Shin Yoosung nodded his head at the question.
“I think so. Eun-ah, you?”
“me? I…”
Eunah Kim stopped talking. Eunah Kim’s destination after completing the patrol was the hospital. Before returning to the academy, she wanted to stop by her brother’s hospital room.
However, Kim Eun-ah did not want Shin Yoo-seong to know about it. No, I didn’t want to bring up my brother’s story to anyone. Because I hated buying sympathy.
“…just shopping?”
Kim Eun-ah unknowingly avoids her gaze and answers. Shin Yoo-seong stood up while looking at Kim Eun-ah.
“Then, shall we really go now?”
at that time.
Wheein-!!
The speakers in the cafe blared a siren. A siren that sounds in the city only in case of emergency.
“Can you stand?”
Kim Eun-ah checked her pocket, but this time, no notification message appeared.
[This is the entire Metro City broadcast]
[Currently, a villain appears in Metro City Hospital, so please evacuate the surrounding citizens quickly.]
Shin Yoo-seong, who checked the broadcast, said calmly while looking at Kim Eun-ah.
“This is not our area.”
Even in the same metro city, the hospital was not under the jurisdiction of Shin Yoo-seong and Kim Eun-ah. However, Kim Eun-ah’s expression was strangely pale.
“…is there a villain in the hospital?”
Metro City Hospital is where Kim Jun-hyeok, who fell into a coma, is located. Kim Eun-ah bites her teeth.
‘I’m sure he was aiming for the 7th floor!’
Kim Eun-ah said urgently with a serious face.
“What are you doing? A villain has appeared! You have to go to the hospital right now!”
“Aya. We have to defend the given area. Because that is the mission.”
Dispatch to the hospital is up to another Hunter. It was also an important task to protect the area assigned to it.
It’s a peaceful city now, but no one knows what will happen. After confirming that the patrol was away, the villains could commit crimes, or the gate could appear just like before.
Kim Eun-ah bit down on her molars and glared fiercely at Shin Yoo-seong.
“…Then don’t stop. I will go to the country too.”
After saying that, Kim Eun-ah ran out of the cafe. The owner of the cafe looked at the exit where Kim Eun-ah came out and put on a worried expression.
“The siren, which used to sound once a month, sounded twice today.”
At the store owner’s words, Shin Yoo-seong remembered the conversation he had with Kim Eun-ah earlier.
[…I’m going to have another drink.]
Leave Kim Eun-ah like this and keep the rules for the sake of the mission. Will you follow Kim Eun-ah?
[why? He said he couldn’t even visit a cafe because he was only in the mountains.]
It was a worry Shin Yoo-seong wouldn’t normally do. But now it was different. The reason I wanted Kim Eun-ah as a colleague was because of her skills. After a brief conversation, the reasons were multiplied.
[ruler! There are cakes in the cafe and there are many things to eat. Order anything.]
Shin Yooseong’s eyes narrowed.
When the choice tilted to one side, Kim Eun-ah’s expression suddenly came to mind.
[…just shopping?]
Kim Eun-ah’s expression deepened exceptionally while thinking about something. It was Shin Yoo-seong’s bad habit that he couldn’t pass by a person whose heart was weak.
“I can’t help it.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who made a promise, called somewhere.
* * *
Metro City Hospital 5th floor.
Wow!
With the explosion, the walls of the building crumbled into powder.
Saaak.
Dust that disappears as wind through a hole in the wall. Soon after, a man appeared.
“Ugh! Ugh…”
The man clutched his head as if in agony and groaned like an animal. The man’s eyes, bloodshot and unfocused, were terrifying.
“Aaaaagh!!”
Let the man roar in agony. Hunter, who was dispatched, was terrified.
“How can you turn a building into powder with your bare hands without any ability…”
A 3rd class Hunter belonging to the Association. Yoo Aeri.
It was the first time in her life that she was in tears at the emergency dispatch.
“senior. Can’t you go up to the 5th floor? Is it because I can’t stop this alone?”
-I told you you can’t go! And somehow capture it alive! Do you know who the crazy guy is? keep in mind If you kill him, it’s over for you and me!
When the senior terribly pressed, Yu Ae-ri cried and blurted out her words.
“I don’t know if I will win or lose. How am I going to capture them alive…”
But things have already happened.
Two hunters dispatched near the hospital, including Yu Aeri and her senior. Other than that, it was about the city guard who guarded the hospital.
‘Water, of course, but now… it’s completely destroyed.’
Looking at the fallen city guards around the man, Yu Aeri thought.
‘Capturing this guy alive. It’s impossible.’
The man suddenly began to show his teeth while looking at Yu Aeri.
“Aww!”
Soon after, the man screamed in agony and ran towards Yu Ae-ri,
“Keuaaaaagh!”
Fuck!
Yu Ae-ri, hit by the man’s fist, was slammed against the wall like a piece of luggage.
“Ke-heo-eok!”
single blow.
Yu Ae-ri vomited blood in one blow, as if she had injured her internal organs in the previous attack.
‘…I can never stop something like this.’
mentally clouded.
Yu Ae-ri’s body, pinned to the wall, stretched like a corpse. When Yu Ae-ri, who passed out, didn’t wake up anymore. The man grabbed his head and screamed again.
“Ah!”
aka Mana Runaway.
The abnormal symptoms the man is experiencing now were one of the chronic diseases of hunters. There were various reasons for the mana runaway, but most of them cited excessive use of ability stimulants as the reason.
The regurgitated mana penetrated every nook and cranny, turning both the body and mind into a crippled person. Of course, it was possible to slow down the congestion by using the circulation stone, but it was a rare treasure in Korea, and it was only a temporary measure.
“Keuuuuu…”
The man turned his steps towards the exit. The man who had gone mad with pain was attacking everything that got in his way.
But even then, a woman with a subdued voice called the man to stop him.
“stop.”
The identity of the determined voice is Kim Eun-ah.
“Aaah!!”
Let the man scream and stare at you with lifeless eyes. Kim Eun-ah aimed her index finger and fired at the gun by making electricity like a bullet.
Wow!
“I warned you.”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Let the man who was hit in the arm let out a moan filled with pain. Kim Eun-ah muttered with a distressed expression.
“…brother.”
Kim Eun-ah looked at the messed up Kim Jun-hyeok. Kim Jun-hyeok was making strange noises with unfocused eyes.
“Kuhhhhhhh!”
The current Kim Jun-hyeok was not the kind brother Kim Eun-ah had known. Kim Eun-ah had to stop such Kim Jun-hyeok herself.
I wanted to turn my head and look away, but Kim Eun-ah looked straight at Kim Jun-hyeok.
“Is your brother in trouble? hold on… Hunters will come soon. Until then…”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Kim Jun-hyeok made a strange noise and walked slowly, very slowly, toward Kim Eun-ah.
“Don’t move!”
Kim Eun-ah screamed and pointed her palm at Kim Jun-hyeok. Kim Jun-hyeok did not stop.
Rather, Kim Jun-hyuk looked straight at Kim Eun-ah and approached. After Kim Jun-hyeok fell into a coma, Kim Eun-ah wanted her brother to wake up every single day.
“Kureuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Of course, Kim Jun-hyeok now was far from Kim Eun-ah.
[Did you hear what your mother said? Still… there’s no need to cry. It’s because he cares about you. Come on. I’ll carry you.]
Kim Eun-ah remembers Kim Joon-hyeok as kind.
[wow! Are you number 1 again? brother! Cool!]
It was always Kim Eun-ah’s pride.
[Haha, of course you should do well. Should I live up to expectations? Both your parents and you.]
He was a kind brother to everyone.
“I…”
Kim Eun-ah raised the electricity with a difficult voice.
“I told you to stop….”
Pajijit! Cheer!
Like Kim Eun-ah’s unstable mood, the electricity bounced here and there.
“Aagh!”
Kim Joon-hyeok runs toward Kim Eun-ah.
No matter how much she aspired to become a hunter, Kim Eun-ah was only a 17-year-old girl, and even when she fell into a runaway, Kim Jun-hyeok was Kim Eun-ah’s only support.
Pazz!
The blue light that eventually goes out.
Kim Eun-ah’s feeling of losing her will to fight had an effect on her ability.
“…ah?”
Boooooong! Quaang!
Kim Jun-hyeok’s fist exploded at Kim Eun-ah. She crossed her arms to block it, but the runaway’s unbelievable strength forced Kim Eun-ah to the wall.
“Huh! Kuw…”
Urgently exhaled breath.
Unable to use electricity, Kim Eun-ah was powerless. His arm was numb from the blow from Kim Jun-hyeok, who had just been hit, and blood flowed from his head.
“Brother…”
Kim Eun-ah called Kim Jun-hyeok in a crawling voice.
“me.”
Kim Eun-ah looked at Kim Jun-hyeok.
It has changed so much now.
“…Actually, I knew.”
Not knowing why Kim Jun-hyeok depended on stimulants was Kim Eun-ah’s lie, ignoring the truth.
Eunah Kim put her hands on the wall and stumbled to her feet. My body screamed from the shock just now, but it didn’t matter.
“My older brother…”
The day he gets grades from the academy.
That day was the only moment when Kim Jun-hyeok was praised by his parents, whom he only saw once a month.
“…that you’re fucking weak.”
Kim Eun-ah smiled bitterly.
Was it from then?
His skills and strength as a hunter became the only means for Kim Jun-hyeok to prove his worth.
That’s why Kim Jun-hyeok didn’t admit it when he ran into his limitations as a hunter.
The talent given to Kim Eun-ah.
It was not given to Kim Jun-hyeok, who longed for it more than anyone else. That’s why Kim Eun-ah was fascinated by Shin Yoo-seong.
With F-class characteristics.
I was abandoned by my family.
Shin Yoo-seong, who continued to grow stronger without giving up, was amazing.
“Kreu…”
Kim Jun-hyeok snarled and revealed his teeth.
Kim Eun-ah bluffed while staring at Kim Jun-hyeok with her hand on the wall.
“…Come on right now. I’ll make you feel better.”
