These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 24

ED: Cheerycheri

“Motherfucker, get away from me!”

“Ow!”

I shoved Kang Soo-hyun’s approaching face with both hands. Kang Soo-hyun, who was somewhat dazed, was pushed back.

“That’s too much.”

Maybe because I pushed him too hard, one side of Kang Soo-hyun’s cheek turned red. I gritted my teeth while watching Kang Soo-hyun grab his cheek and whine.

“Stop screwing around.”

This bastard did that last time too. He looks like a dog, that’s probably why he acts like a dog. How can he smell something sweet? I smell dirty…?

“Ah, really… Hyung, you smell good.”

“I don’t smell good.”

“Are you using a passive skill??”

“No!”

At that moment, Han Yi Jin’s useless passive skills came to mind. Among them, is there a skill that can make you smell good? There isn’t one.

The skills only reduced my presence when I moved, allowed me to speak smoothly as if I had an oily tongue, or just slightly increased my luck to find around 100 won randomly as I passed by. Frankly, all of these passive skills are utterly useless!!

“Why are you mad at me?”

“Shut up, you S-class bastard.”

You guys wouldn’t know what it’s like to be a B-class even if you died. Dirty S-class guys.

Of course, whether it’s a system error or not, I also have S-class skill; but that doesn’t mean that my rank has gone up, so I’m a little annoyed. That’s why I became more aggressive towards Kang Soo-hyun.

“Ah, let’s go together!”

“Hurry up!”

I became angrier and walked faster. Kang Soo-hyun grumbled, saying I was too much, but he was smiling. Bad bastard.

Conclusively, it was a good choice to go with Kang Soo-hyun to the press conference. It was because an Odin guild official who knew Kang Soo-hyun guided us directly to the waiting room.

“Hello? Kang Yoo-hyun.”

“…”

“…”

“Um, long time no see?”

But this frozen atmosphere was too much.  I gulped as I looked into the eyes of the two men who were staring at me. I thought only Kang Yoo-hyun would be here, but there was a man I saw for the first time. Who’s that? I glanced at him and Kang Yoo-hyun’s gaze scared me a little. Well, as expected, that’s too much.

“…Han Yi Jin.”

“What? Han Yi Jin?”

The unknown handsome man opened his eyes wide at Kang Yoo-hyun’s words. What, does he know who I am? Who exactly is he? I was confused and stared at the man openly, but for some reason, Kang Yoo-hyun’s gaze seemed to be getting fiercer.

Hmm, really, it’s too much. Three strikes out is too much. Shit.

“Oh, come in first.”

The man with slightly greyish brown hair welcomed me with a slight smile. What do you call that hair color? Ash brown? I’ve never seen a man who looks good with that mysterious hair color.

Anyway, I noticed that some people were glancing over here. I immediately went into the room with Kang Soo-hyun. I stared at the handsome man with the grey hair, and didn’t even think about making eye contact with Kang Yoo-hyun.

“I’m Park Yoon-sung, the guildmaster of the Odin Guild.”

“Whoa…!”

Oh my God, really?

Park Yoon-sung, whose white teeth were visible as he smiled brightly, looked like an angel who had descended from the sky. The shining halo behind him seemed to be glistening.

Park Yoon-sung may also be different from the novel version of himself that I know. However, I was nervous because he was my favorite character in SS-class novels.

If Kang Yoo-hyun is a cool and overpowered protagonist, then Park Yoon-sung is a leader with a strong-minded personality and gentle charisma. There are many readers who like Park Yoon-sung because he has a contrasting image with the cold and outspoken Kang Yoo-hyun, and I am one of them.

Of course, since we’re the same gender, I don’t mean anything weird by it– it’s just a simple liking. When I actually saw him, as described in the novel, he had a refreshing smile and gave off a gentle impression! He really is the perfect Park Yoon-sung!

“Ah, I’m Han Yi Jin from Loki Guild…”

The reality hit me when I introduced myself unknowingly.

Park Yoon-sung, a true-blue kind of a guy, is someone who despises hunters who do villainous things the most. He is a person who hates criminals more than anyone else because he lost his family in an accident caused by villains when he was young. As such, the Odin Guild, which he founded, stands on the side of righteousness more than any other guild in the novel and shows what poetic justice is.

In front of such a person, I openly said that I belonged to a Villain Guild. Haha, life is really…

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you, Hunter Han Yi Jin.”

“…!”

Is he an angel? Despite knowing my affiliation, Park Yoon-sung gave me an undisturbed smile. I stared at him unconsciously.

“Cough, cough.”

“…?”

When I turned my head to find the source of that unnatural cough, I saw Kang Yoo-hyun frowning as if he was uncomfortable for some reason.

What’s wrong with him? Is he choking? When I looked at him strangely, Kang Yoo-hyun’s eyes turned to his brother.

“Why did you two come together?”

“Ah.”

Hearing Kang Yoo-hyun’s question, my body stiffened for a moment. Kang Yoo-hyun’s presence had helped me so far, but now I was in a situation where I could easily be misunderstood. What if he thinks I hurt his brother and attacks me again? Kang Yoo-hyun is a tsundere with very high tsun equity. He acts like he doesn’t care, but if someone touched Kang Soo-hyun, Kang Yoo-hyun would roll his eyes.

I glanced at Kang Soo-hyun with a hardened face, but he was still smiling without realizing the seriousness of the situation. I felt a little uneasy.

“Today, with Yi Jin hyung…!”

“Oh, I just! I bumped into him. Accidentally!”

I exclaimed with particularly heavy emphasis on the last word. Afterwards, I glared at Kang Soo-hyun to be quiet. Please, be quiet.

“…Accidentally?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I never approached your precious brother to hurt him. I looked at him innocently and declared my innocence. I met Kang Soo-hyun by chance today, who knew that I would meet Kang Soo-hyun in front of the station after registering as an awakened person at the centre?

“Really?”

“…Um.”

Kang Soo-hyun, who responded somewhat sullenly to Kang Yoo-hyun’s question, nodded. No, why was he suddenly depressed? If he makes that face, we’ll be misunderstood. I panicked a bit, but luckily, Kang Yoo-hyun didn’t continue to pursue this matter even though he looked displeased.

On the other hand, angelic guild master Park Yoon-sung opened his mouth.

“Were you looking for Hunter Kang Yoo-hyun by any chance?”

“Ah, yes.”

Park Yoon-sung’s sweet voice dragged my wandering mind back to the conversation at hand. Park Yoon-sung’s smile deepened as I nodded with a smile.

“Why are you looking for him?”

“Oh.”

Originally, I was going to talk to Kang Yoo-hyun, but I happened to meet Park Yoon-sung as well. Actually, I think this is better. He, Odin’s guildmaster, could definitely approve my request.

“Actually, I want to sign a contract with the Odin Guild.”

“Contract?”

I scratched my cheek with my finger as I looked at Park Yoon-sung, who opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“Because I’ll be leaving the Loki guild soon…”

Naturally, I don’t intend to just leave, I’m going to fuck up Jang Tae-san that son of a bitch.

Park Yoon-sung’s face looked confused as I swallowed the backbiting on the tip of my tongue and smiled as gently as I could. I hastily added a few words to convince him.

“Oh, of course, it’s not a formal contract, it’s just temporary. Should I say it’s like a mercenary contract?”

“Temporary…”

“As you might have heard from Kang Yoo-hyun, I have an S-level auxiliary skill. In the future, it will be useful in dungeons where the difficulty level increases due to dungeon abnormalities.”

I continued talking, glancing at Kang Yoo-hyun, who was listening silently without saying anything. Fortunately, Park Yoon-sung was looking at me without any hesitation.

“Yes, I’ve heard about that skill.”

“Oh, I see.”

That’s a relief. It will make it easier for me to sign the contract.

As I breathed a sigh of relief inside, Park Yoon-sung’s eyes became sharp at that moment.

“But…”

“Yes?”

“May I ask you why you’re leaving the Loki guild?”

“…”

When asked for the reason by Park Yoon-sung, I was distressed. I could fully understand why he didn’t trust me. If a villain suddenly came and asked for a contract, of course he would doubt it. I am obliged to give him a convincing reason.

After organising my thoughts, I calmly opened my mouth.

“Actually, Jang Tae-san is holding my sick brother hostage, so I had no choice but to cooperate.”

“…!”

“But I finally learned of my brother’s whereabouts. I would like to request my brother’s personal protection under the terms of the contract.”

“…”

For a moment there was a heavy silence in the waiting room. As the gazes of the three stared at me to the point where it was burdensome, I gradually broke out in cold sweat.

What? Why are they looking at me like that? Don’t tell me they don’t believe it?

“Ah, you can use an item if you doubt the truth.”

“…No.” 

Park Yoon-sung, who barely spoke, finally answered in a stiff voice.

“Actually, I already confirmed it with my skills. I am sorry.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, Park Yoon-sung did have a skill like that in his skillset. Just having recalled it, I shook my head. Instead of feeling unpleasant, I think I’m rather lucky not to have to say it twice for credibility.

“It’s fine. I’m glad it’s not a hassle.”

“…”

I meant what I said, but Park Yoon-sung’s expression became somewhat subtle. I feel like this is a bit unfair. 

No, if he uses his skills and still doesn’t believe me, what does he want me to do?

My mouth trembled to put on an innocent smile, I think I’m going to die– should I give up? 

As I felt a strong impulse to retract my request and retreat, Park Yoon-sung asked in a calm tone.

“Do you have any additional conditions?”

“Well, that…”

Well, since it’s the Odin Guild, the rewards will be generous. When I sign a contract prior to entering the dungeon, can I ask them to distribute the items fairly? Like having priority? First, if I have a lot of money, I’ll take care of Han Yi Jin’s little brother and live comfortably. 

However, it’s a bit awkward to say such a thing when we just met. Anyway, mercenaries write additional contracts every time they enter a dungeon, so I thought I could talk about it later once they acknowledged that my skills were useful.

Oh, by the way, that damn catnip skill.

The activation conditions are a bit difficult to inform them about…

I opened my mouth while glancing at Kang Yoo-hyun for no reason.

“Um, there is….”

“Yes, please tell me.”

“Umm, it’s my auxiliary skill.”

“Yes, you mean your S-level auxiliary skill?”

“But, that, a little…”

“…?”

As I continued dragging my words, a question mark appeared on Park Yoon-sung’s face,but the more I tried to speak, the more I couldn’t get the words out.

“Hmm, there’s a condition to activate it, and that’s actually…”

Wow, doesn’t telling him this make me look like a pervert? Above all, Kang Yoo-hyun was the biggest victim. Wait, why is my neck still attached? As soon as we met, I thought Kang Yoo-hyun would twist my neck off first.

As I was confused by my sudden thought, Kang Yoo-hyun, who was quietly listening on the side, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Let’s make Han Yi Jin’s auxiliary skill exclusive to me.”

No, fuck. What nonsense is he saying?

T/N: I’m sorry the post got delayed. My class have started and kinda suck… Please bear with me for the delay update in the future. Thank you 🙏
