Chapter 53
[T/N: A bit of a note, yes? So I picked up another Hunter story the other day, the title is “I’m Sorry, but It’s Because I’m an Ordinary Person” which is released under Read Hive here. It’s more “realistic” than CSHSRL at the moment as far as I can say, in a sense that Hunters are more self-oriented and not silly-ly helping humanity out of goodness. There’s still a pinch of comedy too, so it’s not a heavy story by all means. After tonight there’ll be 8 chapters released and I’d really appreciate it your support!]
[Title: The Bang Bride appears again.]
[First of all, I made a reservation at S Hotel yesterday.
I was drinking and playing with my friends at the hotel, and I threw everything away and ran out after receiving a broadcast that a dungeon had appeared. I was really scared, but when I heard that an S-class was blocking it, I felt relieved. If it hadn’t been for it, my legs would have been so weak that I would’ve collapsed on the spot.
Anyway, I went outside and frantically evacuated, but suddenly people pointed to the sky. Ah, the monster finally came out. I thought it was really over now… But Headbang’s red cube was there;;;; it was floating in the background of the night sky, and I was really thrilled. All my friends who were with me also collapsed;;;
After seeing that, I really wanted to see Headbang in person this time, so as soon as the situation was over, I went to the lobby. Reporters already lined up all the way to the parking lot at the back door. No matter how great they are, Headbang wouldn’t have been able to escape at this rate. I was in high spirits…LOL
But we underestimated the ranks too much. It was such a bummer. They said that Headbang already ran from the rooftop as it was LOL We’ve all become raccoons who washed cotton candy LOL
Haa… so Headbang escapes again… I’m going crazy. When will we be able to meet Bang-nim…?]
[Comment]
Is Headbang like the thief Lupin? Steal the monster’s heart and disappear. —Phantom Thief Bang Bang
└ Bang Bang LOL Their nickname are increasing day by day LOL Some people also call them Bang Gildong kekekekek
[T/N: From Hong Gildong, the thief I mentioned in the last chapter]
└ What do you mean by stealing the monster’s heart? LOL They just destroy its head…
└ This. Bang-nim doesn’t steal monsters’ hearts. They headshot them. Bangman.
If you want to drink, you should go to a bar. Why go to a hotel?
└ |Writer| : It was my birthday, so I wanted to make it special. are you dissatisfied?
└ I want to congratulate you on your birthday. happy birthday to you… happy birthday to you…
└ I had the most special birthday of my life
The association didn’t know who Headbang is before, but do they know now? I heard someone saw Director Do nearby yesterday
└ Really? Then can we see Headbang’s face now?? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!!!!
‘Well, I don’t think that’s right.’
The community heated up after last night’s Dungeon Break. The speed of the post was so fast that no one could catch up.
Do Junyoung, who was still watching the heated community, turned off the screen. Then he looked at the same Headbang everyone was crying for clarification.
The so-called Headbang had a young face, even as an adult. He couldn’t even guess when she’d started carrying this heavy burden alone.
Do Junyoung, who struggled to hold back a bitter smile, said.
“Come to think of it. You were always there when Headbang was seen. I never thought about it until now.”
“Sir, I’m begging you, please don’t call me that H-H-H-Head-whatever…!”
Seora’s crying face looked really distressed. After being silent for a while, Do Junyoung spoke again.
“Then, how about Bang Bride? There are also Bang Gildong and Bang Bang.”
[T/N: Bang Bride from The Snail Bride I mentioned a couple of chapters ago]
“Aaaah!”
Seora banged her head on the desk.
A smile appeared on Do Junyoung’s lips as he shook his head. That smile, which seemed so happy, was gone when Seora raised her head again.
“Why are you so mean?”
“It was a vent from the association because you pretended not to know when we were looking for you.”
“I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. You also faked your grade-”
Seora mumbled and averted her gaze.
Do Junyoung’s eyes turned to Sung Jarim beside her this time. As she was scratching the desk with her fingers, she turned her head sideways in surprise when their eyes met.
I see. Sung Jarim already knew.
Maybe that’s why she said she wanted to stay with Yoon Seora. An L-class sense is much better than an S-class.
“Are you going to tell the president…?”
Do Junyoung tapped the table at Seora’s question.
They were now in the director’s office. Once he decided, he could tell the truth to Song Hanna right away.
“Aren’t you going to tell anyone about your reawakening?”
“Yes. To be honest, I don’t want to. The reason is, I mean, you know…”
Do Junyoung shook his head as Seora bit his lip as if she didn’t want to speak.
“You don’t have to tell me why. If you want it, I’ll also be silent.”
Yoon Seora opened her eyes wide.
“Wait, r-really?”
“Originally, not only civil servants, but all Awakeneds should notify the state when this happens, but, as you know, the S-class position is above that.”
It was difficult to touch the uncontrollable L-class, so all countries struggled not to lose their S-classes. Thanks to this, naturally, they, too, began to stand above the law.
Of course, in the case of Korea, Song Hanna was holding the Awakeneds tight, so even if the situation was a little different from other places, the S-classes got preferential treatment.
Now, Seora also had the same authority.
“In particular, since you’ve already saved the citizens several times and don’t intend to leave Korea, it’ll be okay to give you a little convenience.”
“I can guarantee that. I never intend to leave for another country.”
“Then I will follow your will. I won’t ask any more questions whether it’s about your reawakening or your reason for not revealing your identity.”
“…”
Seora looked very embarrassed. This goes beyond a boss simply taking care of the convenience of his subordinate.
‘I have my reason, but…’
I won’t tell. There’s something I don’t want to tell her, and it’s the same for him.
“But if you keep silent even with the president, you will have to continue as a junior civil servant. You will not have any authority as an S-class.”
“It’s all right. I’m fine now.”
She seemed really comfortable from the way she spoke, so Do Junyoung didn’t say anything more.
“Then I will keep your identity a secret from now on. I promise in my name.”
“I’m really grateful, but honestly, I don’t quite understand. Why do you keep it so secret when you can force me to do anything as the director?”
Do Junyoung glanced at Seora, who could not hide her puzzled look.
A young face, two stubborn eyes, and a hard mouth that wouldn’t budge.
The first thing that came to mind was childhood memories. He didn’t tell her the reason out of petty revenge: because she didn’t remember the memories that remained quite meaningful to him.
A smile appeared on Do Junyoung’s lips. It was a very friendly smile, distinct enough for Seora to see clearly.
Seora’s eyes widened.
“If there’s anything we need help with, I won’t hesitate to contact you now that I know you’re an S-class. We can’t just let manpower go.”
But, in contrast to his soft voice, his blunt tongue firmly said he had no intention of answering.
In the end, Seora had to leave the meeting room without getting any answers from him.
“He’s always been kind and friendly, but he’s especially so today.”
Seora muttered as she looked at the closed meeting room door. Jarim, relieved that she had barely escaped, raised her eyes as if asking, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Kind? Friendly? Seoraseora, are you blind?”
“What? Why do you say that?”
“The way he looks at me and the way he looks at you is very different. I thought I would die from being stabbed by his sharp eye.”
Huhuhu, I came back to Earth after 100 years, and what greeted me was the cold, chilly, blade-like gaze…
Jarim wrapped her arms around her body and began to sniff.
‘Is that so?’
Seora thought of Do Junyoung’s eyes before, but she wasn’t sure. She had never received a sharp gaze since she came to work under him.
Even when I made a mistake, he corrected me with blunt kindness, saying it was normal for a rookie to fail. Even now, when I’ve accumulated years of experience, he still fixes it…
“Ugh. Come to think of it. I think he was especially kind to me.”
Whenever I think about it, I only have good memories. Feeling somewhat strange, Seora scratched her cheek.
Is this what it feels like to be favored?
“Good for you. Your boss loves you.”
Jarim smiled as she looked at Seora. Seora, who was embarrassed for nothing, kicked her squatting feet.
But the joke ended there.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time at the sound of footsteps rushing toward them. Jung Taesuk was running from the hallway with a pale and tired face.
“Sir? What’s going on? You have a very bad complexion.”
“W-Where’s the director? Where’s the director…”
“What happened?”
After hearing the disturbance, Do Junyoung came out. Jung Taesuk ran to him right away.
“T-There’s trouble! I just got a call, that, uh, s-so…”
“Section Chief Jung Taesuk! Calm down and take a deep breath.”
When Do Junyoung shouted, Jung Taesuk trembled. After taking a few deep breaths, he continued speaking in a calmer tone.
“This is news from Castle Tower Guild.”
Castle Tower Guild was the guild that’d tried to steal the precious item they found while going out to raid the dungeon with Hunting Guild.
But why there? They must still be busy trying to sort their situation out.
“All guild members of Castle Tower Guild were found dead.”
… What?
The three people opened their eyes to the unrealistic news.
“It seems that they were murdered.”
Guild extermination. Scared, Seora rubbed the floor with her toes.
She didn’t know why, but she felt an ominous feeling as if something black was crawling from under her feet.
