Episode 111
“I ate well. I didn’t have much time, so I ate in a hurry. You eat slowly. “Don’t pretend.”
Seo Ji-han smiled brightly, not caring about what other people were saying.
With my flushed cheeks and watery eyes, I think it’s true that it was a bit spicy.
Still, I was a little impressed that he ate it without showing it.
“You don’t have time?”
As Ban Seo-jin intervened and asked, Seo Ji-han’s body slowly became blurred.
The time for materialization is over.
“What is it?”
It must have been a strange sight to someone who knew nothing.
She jumped up from her seat and quickly took a few steps back.
Well, it’s time for me to explain.
As I finished eating, I slowly told him what had happened.
I saved Yoo Eundam after she left the dungeon.
And I went to the Nioh Dungeon in the East Sea.
There, Elfanis told a story about predators.
Lastly, there is even a story that monsters will soon come out of the dungeon.
Ban Seo-hu and Yoo Eun-dam intervened in the middle to provide supplementary explanations.
How is the Korean Guild organizing things and how is the media play carried out?
And he even told me that the Cheongong and Amhyeon guilds had left the hands of Yu Eundam and Ban Seohu and were reduced to servants of the Daehan Guild.
He also told me that Seo Ji-han was a ghost.
“That Seo Ji-han is dead?”
“yes.”
Perhaps because my reaction was so calm, Ban Seo-jin narrowed his eyes with an absurd expression.
But this is already the second time this has happened.
So to speak, her reaction is already an afterthought to me.
“And the dungeon is a refuge where those whose world was destroyed have escaped here?”
“Yes.”
“All the monsters will soon run out of that dungeon?”
“Yes. I plan to prevent civilian casualties as much as possible.”
Ban Seo-jin’s expression became increasingly strange.
“That’s right. That’s good, but that’s not the only problem.”
“That’s right.”
“Are you saying that the really strong guy who destroyed your world will come here and destroy this world too?”
“Yes. We should try to prevent something like that from happening.”
It must have been quite confusing because it was sudden news, but surprisingly, I understand all the important parts. My
understanding is good.
Ban Seo-jin was in shock for a long time and was unable to say anything.
She had muttered the first part of a word several times, but suddenly He shouted,
“Why are you so calm?”
“I was surprised at first, too, but it happened a long time ago…”
Ban Seo-jin looked puzzled for a moment, but then muttered softly as if he understood.
“I see….”
“I didn’t expect you to be so surprised.”
“No, after being locked up for a while, I finally got out, and I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that the end of the world was just counting down…” “
Me too. “I thought I would become a hunter and live comfortably.”
After seeing Ban Seo-jin’s reaction, I thought it was a good idea not to tell my mother about predators.
Even awakened people are surprised like this, so how much of a surprise attack must it feel to civilians?
“I see, so Seo Ji-han is now with you as a ghost?”
“yes.”
Ban Seo-jin said to himself, ‘I see, that’s why it was like that. I muttered things like ‘that’s how it was’ and started to understand things to myself.
Then he took a deep breath, looked at me, and spoke quietly.
“You turned out to be surprisingly normal.”
Surprisingly? What does it mean?
As I was trying to fix my trembling face, Ban Seo-jin suddenly burst out laughing cheerfully.
“Your imaginary friend. Was that Seo Ji-han?”
Oh, come to think of it, I once had a conversation with Seo Ji-han in front of Ban Seo-jin.
That’s what I was saying.
“that’s right.”
“So, Seo Ji-han was by my side the whole time…”
“Oh, but even so, I didn’t tell anyone about the ‘secret between women’.”
Ban Seo-jin was hiding her telekinesis skill.
That’s why she is known to the outside world as an ordinary close-range hunter. I do
n’t know why she hides it, but I understand because I am also hiding my skill.
Ban Seo-hu is family, so I already know her. She may know, but Yoo Eun-dam is a stranger.
Even so, it would be unpleasant for Seo Ji-han to know.
I thought she would be quite offended, but Ban Seo-jin was only a little surprised, as if she had heard something unexpected
. His gaze lingered on Ban Seo-hu and Yoo Eun-dam for a moment, then returned to me.
“Okay, thank you. I saw people well.”
Ban Seo-jin, who laughed lightly, sat down close to the table and placed her clasped hands.
She threw away all of her previous playful mood and stared at me with a very serious attitude.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“yes?”
I found myself asking myself an unexpected question.
What does it mean?
‘Now that you’ve had dinner, what’s for dessert?’
Or, ‘What are you going to do with your hunter life from now on?’ Same hopeful meaning?
“Why are you looking so fierce? How are you going to deal with all the troubles you’ve been talking about?”
Handle it? Me?
Should I take care of it?
Rather, I thought she would say, ‘Oh, that’s right. I’ll just go. Have a good night.’ But she was surprisingly proactive.
Now that I think about it, compared to her unconventional appearance, she was a person with relatively common sense.
“How could she?” “You have to choose whether to do it or not.”
Here are her older brother, Ban Seo-hu, who also served as the leader of the Sky Guild,
and Yu Eun-dam, Korea’s best magical combat hunter.
Even though she cannot see her, there is even Seo Ji-han, the number one ranked person, standing in a ghost state.
Aside from all these prominent people , Are you asking me to choose the direction I should take in the future?
“I don’t think that’s up to me to decide…”
“If not you, who will do it?”
“yes?”
“I told you earlier. I heard that the old man from the dungeon called Elfanis called you a king. “You already have a subject?”
While explaining why Seo Ji-han suddenly disappeared, we also talked about materialization and subjects.
Rather, Elfanis is called Dungeon Grandpa….
“But a person like me….”
“If not you, who will do it? And what kind of person is a person like you? A cautious, common-sense, and kind person?”
My face lit up at the sudden outpouring of blatant praise.
I was a little confused because the praise sounded like an insult.
“Isn’t there someone who is used to this and is better at it?”
Ban Seo-jin raised his eyebrows and stared at me in silence as if I was absurd.
Then, he smiled crookedly and sarcastically said,
“Can we at least find someone with experience in destroying the world? These days, they’re looking for people with experience in everything. There are people living here on Earth who have experienced the destruction of the world in the past. “Has anyone tried it? Like this?”
“No, that’s not it…”
To be honest, it’s scary.
Making a decision means taking full responsibility for it.
I was too young to make such a huge decision.
Can I afford it?
As if he had read my fear, Ban Seo-jin leaned back slightly and opened his mouth in a softer tone.
“Don’t stress too much.”
“How do you not feel burdened? “If anything goes wrong, it’s my fault.”
Ban Seo-jin looked surprised, as if he had heard something unexpected.
Then he answered again with a gentle expression.
“Do you think it would be better for you to do it than those who don’t want to take responsibility even if something goes wrong?”
“It’s too heavy.”
“I’m just going to give it a try anyway. There’s no need to be too scared before something happens.”
Ban Seo-jin pinpointed my bad habits.
“Well, actually, I still haven’t realized that the world is going to end. You too, right? So, you still have some time to spare. Where are you? “I have the luxury of looking around to see if there is a good person.”
Everyone was silently listening to Ban Seo-jin.
“If a fire starts to set in right now, I wonder, ‘Is there someone who can put out the fire?’ “Are you going to find it? I’m going to jump right into the lake.”
Even Seo Ji-han, who was sitting on a chair in a semi-transparent state, was nodding his head from time to time.
“It would be good to find someone else, but let me tell you in advance, I have no intention of listening to anyone other than you.”
“yes?”
“Ban Seo-hu, you would rather die than follow that old bastard’s instructions, but are you going to listen to this pale-faced child, Yoo Eun-dam? And you can’t even listen to a half-baked ghost bastard. How many hours a day can that person become a proper person?”
The three men’s faces hardened at the harsh words.
Yu Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu seemed to have something to say, but Ban Seo-jin raised his voice as if to silence them.
“So that’s what you’re doing.”
I kept feeling it as I listened, but it seemed like Ban Seo-jin was planning to help me.
In fact, I didn’t even think about her helping me. It couldn’t be helped
.
This person seemed extremely free-spirited.
“Are you going to help me?”
“Is there an option not to help?”
“Uh…”
“Should I tell you some surprising news? I live on Earth too, right? “If this place fails, I will die too.”
Ban Seo-jin lifted his chin in a cocky manner.
Every time that happens, the brightly colored hair shakes.
Although it was a bit depressed while in captivity and black hair was coming out at the roots, the intensity was not lost.
“Anyway, you do it. Now, these two people here are not guild leaders or anything. It’s really crazy. In contrast, you are a king and have a personal dungeon. and private dungeons. “It kills the tone.”
Ban Seo-jin, who spoke quickly and in a light tone, grinned and stretched out his hand.
In an instant, he lightly grabbed my cheek and pecked it as if he was cute.
“Now, let’s stop being pretentious and tell us what we want to do. “King.”
