chapter 18
18 – Who did this to my lifesaver? [EPISODE-1]
A red-haired girl began to approach me intently.
I didn’t understand this situation, but I was sure of one thing.
It is that I will never have a grudge relationship with that girl.
“Hey. I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding. I’m not that kind of person.”
I shook my hand and said to the red-haired girl.
Now I said I’m not your enemy.
I am seeing that girl for the first time today.
But suddenly trying to kill me, even if I don’t know what it is, there must be a solid misunderstanding.
“Hey. I’m a guild member here. [Hunter S] I’m a guild member who joined three days ago.”
To clear up the misunderstanding, I pointed to the guild right next to me and said.
He said that he was a member of the guild, and that it was just a coincidence that he passed by.
“…”
The red-haired girl listened to me and started to take a break.
And he glared at me as if thinking for a moment.
“A [Hunter S] employee?”
“Yes… My name is Siu Lee, a guild member who joined [Hunter S].”
It was a red-haired girl with a ferocious expression, as if she was still unsure of who I was.
I introduced myself to the girl with the most friendly face.
The word that best describes me right now is guild member.
“Ah… that’s right. It’s Siwoo. I definitely remember hearing from my older brother that he hired a new recruit.”
The red-haired girl smiles at me and says, “Oh, I see.”
It was only at this point that I found out about the identity of the red-haired girl.
You can probably guess from the word ‘brother’ that this child said, but it seems to be Park Jin-ha, the younger brother of Park Jin-woo.
“Yes, yes… I am that Siwoo Lee. Are you Mr. Jinha? Nice to meet you.”
I let out a sigh of relief, thinking that I could understand the language now.
And I shook hands with Park Jin-ha, whom I saw for the first time today.
I think it is possible to misunderstand.
It was a misunderstanding, so I thought it was fortunate that it was resolved.
However…
“By the way. Why doesn’t the employee even know when to go to work?”
Park Jin-ha did not accept my handshake.
And he didn’t let his guard down on me at all.
The suspicious look still continued.
“… No. I know when I go to work. It’s 9 o’clock.”
“Yes, but I wonder why you came to work so early now.”
I spoke as if I could convince Park Jin-ha.
Park Jin-ha seems very suspicious about my early arrival at the company.
To be honest, it was a bit early to go to work.
However, that is simply a coincidence.
There is absolutely nothing more or less than that.
I just happened to arrive at the company a little earlier today.
“That’s why I walked around the gate for exercise and came early.”
“Ah… for exercise?”
“Ahaha… yes.”
“Okay. That’s what it is.”
I answered very honestly.
Park Jin-ha seemed to understand what I was saying without much refutation.
I tried to relieve myself again, but…
“Then, then, why do I feel A-class strength from you? As far as I know, I heard that this rookie is a B-class.”
Park Jin-ha’s eyes of suspicion continued.
It seems that Park Jin-ha is very suspicious of the level he feels as a hunter now.
It seems that Park Jin-soo shared some information about me with Park Jin-ha as well.
Maybe Park Jin-soo said I was a B-class.
So Park Jin-ha now made me very suspicious.
Hunter, who must have been B-class, felt the strength of A-class, so it was doubtful.
“… Ahaha… I was definitely a B-class back then. But I just developed the strength of an A-class hunter…”
I told Park Jin-ha the truth.
I don’t remember cheating on Park Jin-soo.
At that time, I definitely had B-level skills.
And it’s absolutely not a lie to say that I just developed A-level strength.
I trained from tonight until I came here, and thanks to that training, I was able to have A-class strength.
It was just that, and I told Park Jin-ha the truth about everything that was only that.
“In just three days?”
However, Park Jin-ha’s eyes widened even more, as if he couldn’t believe it.
Even though I told all the truth to Park Jin-ha, she gradually lost her trust in me.
“yes…”
However, I was just telling the real truth. It’s a bit embarrassing.
I don’t have the guts to lie to a scary woman who is trying to kill me right now.
I wished you would believe me.
“Aha. That’s right. You’re saying you’ve gotten stronger in three days. I see.”
“…”
But looking at me like this, he smiles like he’s not the same.
And now, as if he was really going to kill me, he started fixing his sword.
It has come to kill me slowly.
“It’s real. Really trust me. Just…!!!”
When I saw that, I felt death in my gut.
Now, this woman was not something I could do anything about.
I knew right away that a fight would end in seconds and that I would die.
That’s why I had no choice but to shout and complain about my injustice.
At this rate, I was in danger of dying…
“I have nothing more to ask, but I will ask you one last question. Actually, this is the most important question.”
“What is it?”
As if to give me one last chance to advance, I stopped for a moment.
“Isn’t the sword in your hand the sword of the Sword Society?”
And pointed at the sword I was holding with my chin.
Now, this sword seemed to be very annoying to Park Jin-ha.
“Yes? This is a sword I got as a birthday present from a friend I knew when I was little…”
It’s the sword of the Sword Saints’ Association… Come to think of it, I think my childhood friend Inari was the Swordsmen’s Association.
I remember receiving a sword from Inari as a birthday present in the past.
I’ve been using that sword ever since… I didn’t know what the problem was.
But I soon found out why.
“Huh…? The fallen guys are using the swords of the Sword Saints…are they?”
It was because all of the guys Park Jin-ha was dealing with were using swords from the Swordsman Association.
Park Jin-ha must have doubted me after seeing this from the beginning.
That’s why I asked without hesitation, ‘Are you also one of them?’
But, as I’ve said several times, this was simply a coincidence.
It was just a sword that he should have received from his childhood friend.
I have nothing to do with those fallen people, and I have nothing to do with the Sword Saints’ Association.
“Haa… you see.”
Park Jin-ha sighed as if he hadn’t expected any more from me.
“So, to sum up what you said now…”
And once again he confirmed it to me.
“He’s an employee of our company, but he happened to come earlier than the rush hour, and his rank went up in 3 days by chance, and a friend gave him a birthday present by chance, and that’s the Sword of the Sword Society, you mean?”
“…well, that’s right.”
Park Jin-ha said, emphasizing the word ‘by chance’.
It was like a sarcastic remark.
I didn’t believe it at all, I’m sorry, but it was all true.
Park Jin-ha seemed to think that everything I said was a lie, but I was just telling the truth.
“Are you telling me to believe that?”
“No. It’s real.”
“Your tongue is creeping.”
I tried to appeal more, but Park Jin-ha didn’t talk to me anymore.
And ran at me at high speed.
visor!
“Keugh…”
The sound of swords clashing against each other was heard.
Even though I blocked Park Jin-ha’s sword, I couldn’t follow my eyes at all.
I blocked it with my intuition, but without my intuition, my upper body would probably have been split in two.
Park Jin-ha seemed to be sincere.
Living for me is not erased.
“It’s quite good.”
Park Jin-ha smiles as if she is slightly surprised.
And with compliments on me, smile.
squeak.
“Ouch…”
I couldn’t stand it for long.
With a smile, my sword was pierced by Park Jin-ha’s sword.
Then I fell to my knees after receiving a mortal wound to the abdomen.
After all, there is no such thing as winning.
Park Jin-ha now has S-class strength.
I felt the tremendous difference in power that I would have felt from the beginning.
My opponent was S-class and I was A-class.
It feels completely different from the A-class dimensional species I hunted in the dungeon just before.
Can’t catch up now
Besides, I was very tired right now.
I couldn’t move any more.
“Your body is stronger than I thought.”
Park Jin-ha looked down at me and said.
Apparently, the performance of the hero’s body was a little interesting.
But it was just curiosity.
“I’ll just slit your throat for something like this.”
Park Jin-ha raised his sword once again to put an end to it.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
I’m short of breath.
death is felt
I had the feeling that I was about to die.
Fortunately, when I was accepting death whether I liked it or not, the relief army came.
“Siwoo hyung-nim…!!!”
I barely turned my head and saw a man hurriedly running toward us from a distance.
That man was Park Jin-soo.
“Huh? Brother?”
Seeing Park Jin-su, Park Jin-ha also stopped the knife he was about to strike at me for a moment.
“Siwoo-hyung? Siwoo-hyung… wake up.”
Park Jin-soo ran towards me.
And he had a very serious face as he hugged me.
“Ugh… Mr. Jinsu…”
For some reason, I hit the intuition that I had lived.
It was difficult to voice, but I could barely get my voice out of my mouth.
“Stop… can’t you?”
Park Jin-ha looked at me and Park Jin-su as if he still couldn’t understand the situation, but now she seemed to understand the situation.
“Oh my god, Siwoo hyung-nim… wake up. Siwoo hyung-nim…!!!”
Park Jin-soo looked at me and started to scream.
Right now I was bleeding profusely from my stomach.
From the side, it was clear that he had a very serious appearance.
“Siwoo hyung-nim. Who the hell is this? Who did this to my lifesaver?”
Park Jin-soo soon began to show tears.
And now in this situation, I started shouting and arguing.
“Jinha. How did this happen? Do you know anything? Who the hell did this…”
Then he turned his head and looked at Park Jin-ha.
Park Jin-soo was still so emotional that he didn’t seem to know the current situation.
“Ah… no… that… brother… this is…”
And Park Jin-ha’s expression turned blue at Park Jin-soo’s question.
