These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

The cold atmosphere continued. Sung Yoo-bin was ready to hit Seo Ha-joon at any moment, and everyone in the raid party was looking at them nervously. And I also stared at them anxiously.

Somehow, I could understand why the Tyr Guild had failed in their dungeon conquest. Regardless of their skills, I wondered how they could conquer an SS-rank dungeon if they were so disunited.

In the novel, Kang Yoo-hyun's dominance might have overshadowed the Tyr Guild’s incompetence, but now, without Kang Yoo-hyun, it was a total disaster. As I sighed, I looked at Seo Ha-joon, who raised his head. His face turned grim when he saw me.

“Do you have something to say to me as well?”

"Yes?"

Out of nowhere, he picked a fight with me while I was quietly minding my own business. I frowned in disbelief and looked at Seo Ha-joon.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. It seems like you really want to brag about how much you helped with your S-level auxiliary skill."

"Ho…"

I tried to let it slide, but he kept crossing the line, this bastard.

I glared at Seo Ha-joon with a displeased expression. I don't want to brag about it, but it's true that my auxiliary skill have helped in that situation.

It might have been none of my business, but it was also true that Sung Yoo-bin and the rest of the combat team seemed to be having a hard time. No matter how much I think about it, I don't think I did anything wrong. I couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to speak up to Seo Ha-joon.

"I have something to say, Vice Guild Master."

"…?"

A deep voice suddenly interrupted. Seo Ha-joon, who had been glaring at me, turned his head with a confused expression, and I also shifted my gaze in that direction.

"Kang Soo-hyun?"

Kang Soo-hyun always had a cheerful atmosphere even when he wasn't smiling, because he had a good impression. However, now, his usually amiable face was cold and stiff. I looked at Kang Soo Hyun in surprise.

“Due to the collapse of the combat team's formation, both Hunter Hae Song-ha and I were dragged into the battle as well. Luckily, I was able to buy us some time with my mental skill, otherwise I don't know what would happen to the two of us.”

"That…"

“Attempting a dungeon conquest without a guide is tantamount to suicide. Vice Guild Master of Tyr Guild, you almost wiped out the entire squadron.”

“…”

Kang Soo-hyun's sharp words made Seo Ha-joon shut his mouth like a cat got his tongue. I also blinked in surprise seeing this unfamiliar side of Kang Soo-hyun.

"Ugh…"

“…!”

Then, I found Hae Song-ha staggering next to Kang Soo-hyun. I rushed over to him quickly.

"Hunter Hae Song-ha, are you okay?"

"Ugh, yes…"

"Jjyu-jjyu! Jjyu!"

Lati, clinging to his shoulder, cried helplessly. Seeing blood oozing out of Hae Song-ha's chest which was covered by his hand, I immediately turned to look for someone.

"Hunter Guseul, over here!"

“Ah, yes!”

Guseul ran over and stood in front of Hae Song-ha and healed him. Hae Song-ha's pale complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Thank you, Hunter Guseul-nim."

"You're welcome. And please, don't overexert yourself for a while."

"Yes, I won't."

I looked at Hae Song-ha, who nodded in response with concern. As soon as Guseul finished his treatment, she rushed to another place. There were several other hunters, including those on the combat team, who were injured like Hae Song-ha.

"…"

All eyes were now focused on one place. Seo Ha-joon's face hardened in panic at the people's sharp gazes.

"That… Cough, cough."

Seo Ha-joon's face heated up as he cleared his throat. I thought that no matter how shameless he was, he still felt embarrassed. After taking a look around him, he hesitated and took a step back.

"I will inform everyone about our future strategies after the meeting."

Then, he moved with his guild members as if fleeing to a corner of the oasis. As I watched their retreating figures, I heard someone click their tongue in disapproval.

I sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time, wondering if this dungeon conquest would actually be successful.

"Don't just stand there, please sit down, Hunter Hae Song-ha."

"Ah… Thank you."

Yong-sik dusted off the sunshade he had been playing with and laid it on the ground. I felt a little relieved after letting Hae Song-ha sit on it.

"What about you? Are you hurt?"

"Me?"

As I turned to Kang Soo-hyun and asked, his light brown eyes widened in surprise. Then, they narrowed again and looked at me.

"I got injured here too, hyung."

"Where?"

Since he was next to Hae Song-ha, I thought Kang Soo-hyun might have also been injured. I approached Kang Soo-hyun to examine his wound. If his wound was as bad as Hae Song-ha's, I would have to call Guseul again, or take out a potion.

"Here."

"…?"

Kang Soo-hyun pointed somewhere. When I saw it, I frowned.

“Hey, are you kidding me?”

Kang Soo-hyun raised his pinky finger and groaned in pain. After looking closely, I saw a small cut on the tip of his little finger. When I looked at him in disbelief, he narrowed his eyes.

"It really hurts."

"Ha… Just putting some saliva on it should help."

"Then can't hyung apply your saliva on me?"

"What?"

I frowned while looking at the smile on his face. This was another one of his jokes, wasn't it?

This time, I really meant to say something firm. However, once again, someone spoke faster than me.

"I'll suck it out for you, so buzz off."

"What did you say?"

Eden and Kang Soo-hyun growled as they glared at each other again. Kang Soo-hyun, who raised his little finger, said irritably.

"I don't need it."

"Don't refuse it. I'll suck your finger properly."

"…"

I unconsciously glanced at Hae Song-ha, whose eyes were wide open. It seemed even more pitiful that Hae Song-ha, who looked like a baby squirrel, was frightened and trembled. When I saw that, my face scrunched up even more and shouted at them.

"Hey! Take your stupid jokes over there, it's annoying."

"Kkyau!"

"Phew…."

But these guys didn't seem to get tired and kept glaring at each other. They always ended up like this no matter how well things were going. I don't know what's wrong with them. Are their personalities incompatible?

Obviously, Eden looks like a delinquent bully just by looking at his appearance and behaviour, while Kang Soo-hyun exudes the image of a neat model student…

I shook my head and turned around. Whether they want to fight more or not is up to them. Tired of it, I left Eden and Kang Soo-hyun and looked for someone else. And near the oasis, I found Sung Yoo-bin receiving healing from Guseul.

"Hunter Sung Yoo-bin!"

"Ah, Hunter Han Yi-jin…"

She looked exhausted and tried to get up. I beckoned her not to get up.

"Don't push yourself, just rest."

"Thank you."

"How are your injuries?”

“Yes, this much is no problem.”

Sung Yoo-bin, nodding her head, looked more reliable than anyone else. When the sandworm's mental abnormality skill affected even the S-rank hunters earlier, she stood firm and blocked the sandworm with her fire barrier.

If Sung Yoo-bin hadn't stalled for time like that, the combat team might have been in trouble when I got there. The entire squadron would have been wiped out in an instant, and the Tyr Guild would have been unable to clear Muspelheim Dungeon once again.

Reflecting on the crucial moment, I looked at Sung Yoo-bin. She bowed her head to me while remaining seated.

“Thanks for saving my life earlier. If Hunter Han Yi-jin hadn't cast the auxiliary skill, I would probably be dead by now."

“No, please don’t say such horrible things.”

I waved my hand and shook my head. I couldn't imagine that she, the heroine of the novel, would die so easily.

But shouldn't the protagonist come to the rescue when the heroine is in a crisis situation? Even if Kang Yoo-hyun was late, he was way too late…

Concerned, I lowered my head and whispered close to Sung Yoo-bin's face.

"But, um… Shouldn't we wait for Kang Yoo-hyun?"

"Hmm…"

Sung Yoo-bin seemed to be contemplating, opening her tired eyes. She looked at me slightly dazed and asked.

"Hunter Han Yi-jin always smells good. Do you happen to wear perfume?"

"Yes?"

My eyes widened at her sudden remark. Come to think of it, Kang Soo-hyun had said something similar to me before. Feeling my face turn pale, I asked Sung Yoo-bin back.

"What do I smell like?"

"No, not the smell…"

Sung Yoo-bin, who shook her head, closed her mouth. A moment later, her face hardened and she spoke again.

"It's nothing. Um… You mentioned Kang Yoo-hyun, right?"

Sung Yoo-bin narrowed her eyes and glanced at the other side of the oasis, where the Tyr Guild's Vice Guild Master, Seo Ha-joon, and his advisors were holding a meeting. The expression on Sung Yoo-bin's face when he saw them was incredibly cold.

"I wish we could wait, but… I don't think the Tyr Guild will make the right decision."

"Sigh, as expected…"

Sung Yoo-bin seemed to have the same thoughts as me. Perhaps because she had already experienced near death once, there was a deep distrust in her. Sung Yoo-bin spoke with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

"Maybe I should just kill all those Tyr Guild bastards and conquer the dungeon ourselves?"

"…Yes?"

"Once Kang Yoo-hyun comes, we can wipe them all out with Hunter Han Yi-jin's auxiliary skill. We can just kill everyone from the Tyr Guild who stands in our way and…"

"Wait, wait a moment. Let's calm down."

I broke out in cold sweat when I saw Sung Yoo-bin's fiery eyes. This wasn't her usual personality. Why did the heroine suddenly get so worked up? A clear voice penetrated my troubled mind.

"That sounds like fun."

“…?”

When I turned my head with a puzzled expression, I saw Lee Geun-ho smiling as he looked at me and Sung Yoo-bin.

T/N: Hopefully I can release c89 at 17th, if not then next Friday again.
