Episode 034
“You’re crazy! it’s crazy! Do you want to see Mom’s heart melt and die? “What are you doing? Come out now!”
The first thing I saw after leaving the dungeon was my mother running towards me like she was collapsing and hitting me on the back.
“Huh mom? Why are you here? “Dangerously…”
Looking at the dressing that was roughly attached to the wound, it appears that he received first aid.
However, the area around the dungeon is mainly a government-controlled area, so civilians would not be able to get close.
For some reason, my mother was barricaded . He was standing close to me, but as soon as he saw me coming out, he shook off everyone and ran over.
“You call that a horse? That! You call that a horse! This. Gather this!”
Even though my mother slapped my back, it didn’t hurt at all.
I didn’t know what to do, so I hesitated as I was beaten, but my mother got all upset and eventually burst into tears. “If
you go on like that, how can you live? I will see that you keep not coming out, so I will come outside.”
My mother could not bear to continue her conversation and mumbled, covered in tears.
It was my fault for being so focused on looting inside the dungeon that I had forgotten about the outside world. I felt like a
sinner and calmly patted my mother on the back to comfort her, and in the end, my mother cried half of her head down. “Seungju said you would come out right away. Several hours passed and you didn’t come out, and people said that the escape gate would have been closed by this time, and when I heard that, I really….” What should I
say
?
In this situation, even if there are a hundred mouths, there is nothing to say.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I’m fine. It’s okay. You’re not hurt. huh? are you okay. are you okay.”
As I kept stroking my mother’s back and saying it was okay, the sobbing gradually subsided.
I was so caught up in the items that I didn’t even know my mom was doing this outside…
While I was blaming myself, someone approached me from beyond the barricade.
“Who is that person?”
When I glanced at the approaching person and asked, my mother answered while wiping away her tears and taking a deep breath.
“They said they were responsible for the situation. “I helped and informed Seungju Hospital and other things.”
“Seungju Hospital? Are you hurt?”
When I saw him earlier, he looked fine.
Although he seemed to have abrasions here and there, he didn’t seem to be seriously injured.
“I sprained my ankle and went to the hospital to disinfect it. There were no serious injuries.”
“I’m glad.”
Unlike my mother, who was rapidly calming down after seeing me safe, I was becoming more and more nervous.
Finally, the person who came closer greeted me in a light tone.
“hello. Son Moa Hunter. My name is Christelle Lee. “I am the leader of the team that handled the dungeon explosion situation.”
It was a bit awkward Korean.
I wondered what would happen if English came out, but I felt relieved.
I took his outstretched hand and shook it lightly, and she smiled favorably.
“First of all, on behalf of the government of Guam, I would like to thank you for your work. “Son Moa Hunter.”
“Oh yeah? ah. you’re welcome.”
Seo Ji-han looked pitiful and shook his head as I unconsciously bowed to his extremely polite attitude.
No, you may be used to someone treating you like this, but this is my first time.
Isn’t the team leader in charge of emergency situations a very high-ranking person?
It’s actually really amazing that a person like that waits for me here and greets me like this as soon as I come out.
Moreover, there was one word that caught my ear earlier.
This unfamiliar name calling me.
Son Moa Hunter.
Mr. Moah Son. Hand temple.
I have to collect it. miss. hey. there.
So far, all of my social titles have been like that.
This is the first time someone calls me so politely.
Sonmoa Hunter.
Each letter that made up this word was special and thrilling.
Ehehehehe. Hunter, Hunter.
Officially, I am now a hunter too.
hand. what. ah. Heon. It’s like that.
From now on, I hope everyone will call me Hunter. Mom and Seungju too.
I’m a hunter now.
Do you understand? I’m a hunter. I say so.
Hunter.
What a wonderful title this is.
I laughed so hard without realizing it that my mom grabbed my hand so hard that it hurt.
The glances were filled with messages that scolded me, saying, ‘You’re smiling because you did a good job!’
I quickly corrected my face.
“Oh my, how immature.”
Mom muttered in a voice so low that it was barely audible.
Seo Ji-han also shook his head as if he agreed with those words.
Ah, if a person is in a good mood, they can smile. That’s too much.
Honestly, if my mom found out what’s in my inventory right now, she’d have a hard time holding back her laughter.
As I was pouting, Christel Lee opened her mouth again.
“You must be very tired today, so let’s go for now. We did our best to prepare accommodation for you. Of course, you can go to the accommodation you booked directly. “It’s not a compulsion, it’s just an expression of sincerity, so don’t feel pressured.”
I’m not the type of person to refuse something even if it’s offered to me.
I quickly accepted the offer.
“Wow, thank you so much!”
Christel Lee seems to be smiling a little, perhaps due to her mood.
“Then this way. “The vehicle has been prepared.”
As I followed her, I saw a seemingly luxurious car parked in a manner unbecoming a disaster situation. I don’t even know the name of this car.
Anyway, the ride was great.
The car seat sags like a sofa.
Three cars followed our car on the way to the accommodation.
what?
“It looks like the other car is moving as well. Do you stay with other people?”
Ah, I don’t like group accommodations with strangers.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just gone to the hotel we booked so we could stay together as a family.
Can I get off now? Should we just ask them to go to our hotel?
But my thoughts were useless.
“Never mind. “The only thing that is required is an escort vehicle in accordance with the state guest protocol manual.”
A manual on state guest protocol.
If I was alone with my mom, I’d say, ‘Did you hear mom? He said he was a state guest. State guest! I thought the only beans in my life were coffee beans, red beans, and baked beans, but I must have made a fuss and said, ‘He’s a state guest!’
Unfortunately, I had no choice but to nod and act like nothing had happened.
“Hmm hmm. okay.”
I answered calmly, and Christel Lee spoke again with a friendly face.
Meanwhile, Seo Ji-han covered his mouth and was trembling.
Oh just laugh. What are you holding on to?
Anyway, no one listens to it but me.
“Should I ask you to take my younger brother, who is in the hospital, to our dorm so he can stay with his family?”
“yes!”
* * *
The car drove for a while and stopped in front of a luxurious hotel.
I followed the directions, went inside, and as soon as I got off the elevator, my room appeared.
After hearing that we could use the entire floor, my mom and I desperately gritted our teeth to keep our jaws from falling off.
Why is there a swimming pool in the room?
There was just a spa bath in the place I rented, but is that really a swimming pool?
My mother looked stunned and stunned, but I nodded calmly, trying not to look as rude as possible.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. yes. yo. this.”
– Phew, puff, puff, puff, puff, haha.
I ignored Seo Ji-han, who was still smiling from earlier.
It was important to listen to Christel Lee, who seemed to have something more to say than Seo Ji-han.
“Your brother will already be inside.”
“Oh already?”
My mom reacted right away, held my hand tightly and entered the hotel room.
No matter how many doors you open and open, there is no end to it.
As I was watching my mom disappear somewhere as she opened more than three or four doors, Christel Lee suddenly focused her gaze on me.
What is it?
Why are you like this all of a sudden?
Each dungeon was the private property of its respective country.
Even though it was an accident, as I had taken a lot of property in the dungeon without permission, I couldn’t help but feel stung.
Since he hasn’t been out for a while, you probably thought he was making a fortune, right? You must have been caught, right?
As I awkwardly looked away, Christel Lee bowed very politely.
“I heard about all the great things you did for the victims. Even though he ran out of a very rare B-class magic stone, he used it as an escape gate and prioritized saving lives. “On behalf of the government of Guam, I once again express my deepest gratitude for that heroic act.”
I, who was being stabbed by grass, was so startled that I gasped and bent over.
“Oh, don’t say anything. Of course, human life comes first.”
I feel like my response is too trivial compared to the very formal thank you, but I can’t help it.
Honestly, I’m completely out of my mind right now.
I thought they would just tell me to go to the hospital and then go home, like when I got caught in the previous dungeon creation explosion.
“The Guam government plans to compensate you for the magic stones you used. We will do our best to ensure that you can rest comfortably today and go on your planned tour tomorrow after giving a brief statement of the case. I hope you make good memories in Guam.”
Oh, the magic stone? Compensation?
It’s good, but we’ve already done a lot of deforestation in that dungeon.
My conscience is prickling.
“Thank you. goodbye!”
I bowed my head and saw her off, and when I returned to the room, I felt a little dazed.
Feeling dazed, I opened the door again and went in and saw my mother and Seung-ju.
“Hey, awakened man.”
Seungju lay down on the sofa and waved at me.
There was a TV on in one corner of the room, and it was playing an English broadcast that appeared to be local news.
The name Son Moa seemed to be mentioned here and there, as if it were my story.
But there was something more eye-catching than the news.
“What is all this?”
Flower baskets and all kinds of gift boxes were piled up on one side of the room.
It was a fairly large room, but it seemed cramped because of the boxes that reminded me of some sort of warehouse.
“What did you buy like this?”
Did he go on a crazy shopping spree just because his sister became an awakened person? I didn’t think you had that kind of personality.
“I didn’t buy it.”
Seungju shrugged his shoulders.
Then mom? No, that can’t be possible. I was covered in tears earlier.
“These are gifts from survivors and their families. “As a thank you.”
You don’t have to send me something like this….
After answering Seungju in a daze, I then turned my attention to the TV.
It feels like things are going crazy outside the dungeon due to things that were unimaginable inside the dungeon.
The camera was filming the hospital.
An old white man with gauze on his face was smiling brightly, raising his thumb and saying something in English.
My name got mixed up here and there.
“No…”
I was so shocked that I was at a loss for words when Seungju stood up, wrapped her arms around my shoulders, and thrust something in front of my eyes.
It was a cell phone.
“You shouldn’t be this surprised already. There’s Korean news, too. Look. “You really are a hero.”
