These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

I was puzzled when I didn't see Kang Yoo-hyun, who was leaving separately. The raid party seemed almost ready.

"Hunter Han Yi-jin-nim!"

"Oh, Hunter Hae Song-Ha."

A familiar face saw me and came running to me. Hae Song-ha of Hermóðr Guild. He had been a guide in the Sæ dungeon, and now he had come to support the Muspelheim dungeon as well. I greeted him warmly.

"It's good to see you again."

"Haha, yes."

Hae Song-ha, who was smiling brightly, unusual for someone who was about to enter a dungeon, looked around and his expression hardened slightly. Of course, he still looked like a hamster pretending to be serious.

"I heard that the Tyr Guild's failed raid the other day resulted in a lot of serious injuries to their elite team members, though fortunately, I don't think there were any fatalities."

"Aha…"

"That's why they're short of hunters with detection skills. I don't usually support the Tyr Guild, but this time they asked me to come over."

"I see."

Detection-type hunters who were at the forefront of raid groups looking for a way actually faced many dangers. If they had combat skills or auxiliary skills to protect their bodies, the chances of them getting injured were smaller, but if not, they would be the first to be attacked by monsters in an unavoidable situation and end up in big trouble.

“I received information from a detectorist at the Tyr Guild, but I'm very nervous because it's my first time here.”

"I'm sure you'll do well."

I remembered Hae Song-ha calmly finding his way in the Sæ dungeon. Besides, Kang Soo-hyun would be by his side this time, so he wouldn't have to worry. Hae Song-ha and Kang Soo-hyun also greeted each other happily.

“I'm looking forward to working with you again. Hunter Kang Soo Hyun-nim."

"Me too. I will learn a lot from you."

There was a warm atmosphere between Kang Soo-hyun and Hae Song-ha, perhaps because they became close friends while working together during the last dungeon raid.

Hae Song-ha, a low-ranking but veteran hunter, and Kang Soo-hyun, a high-ranking but inexperienced hunter. It was a good combination to see again.

Finding a way this time won't be difficult either. I thought, and turned around with a satisfied expression on my face.

"Hunter Haaan Yi-jinnnnn!"

"…?"

Where did this voice come from? It sounded like a loud voice was calling my name. But when I looked around, I didn't see anyone approaching me.

"Yi Jin-ah, watch out!"

"Ugh…!"

Something fell in front of me with a thud. Eden covered me and pulled me backward.

"Are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah."

I was a little surprised, but I wasn't hurt. Seeing the location of the fall, I don't think it would have hit me even though Eden wasn't protecting me.

"Hunter Han Yi-jin!"

"…Hunter Sung Yoo-bin?"

To my surprise, it was Sung Yoo-bin who raised her body that was stuck on the ground. When I saw her, I opened my eyes wide in surprise.

"No, uh… Why is Hunter Sung Yoo-bin here?"

Did Sung Yoo-bin come to the Muspelheim dungeon in the novel? I don't think so. Why did she come? Sung Yoo-bin approached me as I was confused.

"I also came to provide support for the Muspelheim Dungeon!"

"Hunter Sung Yoo-bin did…?"

"Ah, Hunter Guseul came along too."

"Really?"

I subconsciously looked around Sung Yoo-bin, but I couldn't see Guseul. However, before long, I heard a small, panting voice coming from behind Sung Yoo-bin.

"L—Let's go together… Hunter Sung Yoo-bin-nimm…"

Gasping for breath, Guseul appeared. She was walking with a staff bigger than her body, like a cane. Sung Yoo-bin, seeing her struggling, belatedly felt sorry for her.

"I'm sorry. I suddenly ran ahead on my own."

"Gasp, gasp… It's okay…"

Guseul said she was fine with her facial expression not being fine at all. And when she saw me, she immediately lowered her head.

"Hello… Hunter Han YI-jin-nim… Gasp, gasp…"

"It's okay, catch your breath first."

"Yes, gasp…"

Guseul gasped as she nodded. I took out bottled water from my inventory and gave it to her

"Thank… you…"

"It's nothing."

Then, I turned to Sung Yoo-bin, who was standing there awkwardly.

"Are you two here to provide support from the Freya Guild?"

"That's right. Probably, other major guilds have also sent support."

"Ah…"

Something's not right. Were the large guilds originally this supportive? Even if the Tyr Guild was struggling to clear the Muspelheim Dungeon, everyone would already be thinking about their own safety at this point. So the main character, Kang Yoo-hyun, could be more active.

And later on, the big guilds formed an alliance. It was then that the Laufey Guild also became more manipulative, and the large guilds felt threatened.

"Even the Freya Guild sent two people, and surprisingly, a lot of support came?”

"You didn't know?"

"Huh? Know what?"

"Ah, it seems that guildmaster Park Yoon-sung hasn't told you yet."

"…?"

When I tilted my head, Sung Yoo-bin came closer. And she lowered her voice and spoke.

“I heard that the big guilds have already formed an alliance, although they haven't made an official announcement. Cha Hyun unnie told me and Yul unnie first.”

"…An alliance of big guilds?"

"Yeah, it's been discussed a few times before, but as you know, they're busy keeping each other in check… But I heard they all agreed to it recently."

"…"

I opened my eyes wide in surprise at Sung Yoo-bin's words. They've formed a guild alliance? This fast?

"I think it's…"

“…?”

"Ah, it's nothing."

Sung Yoo-bin muttered in a meaningful tone and shook her head.

Guseul beside her returned the water bottle to me.

"Thank you for the drink."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes!"

Smiling at Guseul who nodded, I put the water bottle back into my inventory, but my fingers twitched at what the red-faced Guseul said next.

“I enjoyed watching your YouTube video!”

"Oh… you watched it?"

"Yes! It was really fun!"

"Haha…"

When I last checked, the YouTube video had reached ten million views. I was so shocked that I turned off my phone. I wonder if the number of views is still increasing now? Indeed, the combination of YunaYuna and Kang Yoo-hyun had incredible synergy.

"Well, I'm just an extra."

"An extra? I didn't see it that way."

"Um…"

I unintentionally talked a lot in the video. Not to mention Kang Yoo-hyun, Eden and Kang Soo-hyun were also not very talkative.

Yuna Yuna was visibly flustered, so I talked a lot in the video to help her. However, I couldn't tell that to Guseul and Sung Yoo-bin, so I'm momentarily speechless.

“I envy that person named Yuna Yuna. I'm always disturbed during my private time with Hunter Han Yi-jin…!"

"Haha… Yes?"

"Le—Leader Sung Yoo-bin. Please calm down."

I don't know why, but Sung Yoo-bin suddenly got angry and Guseul became flustered when she tried to stop her.

"You look free."

"…?"

I turned back, startled by the cold voice. It was Seo Ha-joon, the Tyr Guild's vice master who had guided us here, who looked at me with a displeased expression.

"Did you come here to play? Don't you see that other people are busy?"

"Ah…"

Hearing Seo Ha-joon's words, I looked around. As he said, hunters were bustling in front of the gate. However, hunters like us who came from other guilds to offer support quietly checked their equipment before the briefing. Seo Ha-joon's loud voice attracted the attention of hunters and mercenaries from other guilds to this side.

It seems that I was excited because it was nice to meet familiar people again. I felt sorry for not paying attention before the dungeon raid.

"I'm sorry. It was nice meeting the three of them and working together on the previous dungeon raid."

"Dungeons are not a place to socialise."

"…Yes, you're right."

I felt strange about his sharp remarks, but he was right. When I was about to apologise to him, someone stepped in front of me and Seo Ha-joon.

“Then you should have done better to avoid turning this place into a place to socialise. Seo Ha Joon.”

“…!”

"If you guys had cleared it properly, we wouldn't have come here, would we?"

"…Hey, Sung Yoo-bin."

There was an unusual tension between Seo Ha-joon and Sung Yoo-bin. I looked at them nervously.

"If we came to help you, couldn't you at least give thanks instead of scolding? Are you kidding me now?"

“There are a lot of people watching right now. Don't talk informally to me."

"Haa."

"…"

Somehow, it looked like Sung Yoo Bin and Seo Ha Joon knew each other well. The novel didn't mention what kind of relationship they had, but maybe they knew each other before the gate incident?

“Hey, you scold Hunter Han Yi-jin in front of everyone, but you don't do that to anyone else.”

"…"

"Anyway, you're a pathetic bastard."

Gasp, I didn't remember that Hunter Sung Yoo-bin was such a harsh talker. My body froze behind her. I glanced at Seo Ha-joon, and his expression was cold. I was worried that they would get into a fight before the dungeon raid.

"Sung Yoo-bin, you really…"

"Vice Guild Master!"

At that moment, a man in a combat suit that only Tyr guild members wore approached Seo Ha-joon. He opened his mouth, completely unaware of the frozen atmosphere here.

"I've confirmed that all of our supporters are here. I think we can depart right away."

"…"

"Vice Guild Master?"

Seo Ha-joon, who gritted his teeth and stared at Sung Yoo-bin, glanced at me. And he muttered in a low voice.

"A pathetic bastard hiding behind a woman."

"…?"

Was that directed at me?

Before I could reply, Seo Ha-joon left with his guild members. Left behind, I blinked stupidly.

"Grrr…"

"Should I kill that bastard?"

"No, you can't."

I calmed down Yong-sik and Eden, who got angry in my place. Kang Soo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin didn't look happy either. Especially Sung Yoo-bin, who had a fierce clash with Seo Ha-joon.

"During the dungeon raid, what if I just…"

"No, you can't do that."

"Then how about digging a hole in the desert and…"

“You can't."

Trying to calm down the agitated Sung Yoo-bin, we walked towards the briefing area. It seemed like this dungeon raid wouldn't be easy either.
