I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild

216 – At least one thing…

“Haa.. cool..”

“I feel good. I never thought I would be able to enjoy playing in the water like this this winter.”

“Then, since it’s been a long time, shall we have a little match? Who goes faster to that rock over there?”

“I will accept it. Aide please referee.”

“All right. Then get ready.. let’s go!”

Hunters soaking in the cold water to enjoy this moment

With the addition of physical abilities that far exceed ordinary humans, at this moment, they were crossing the sea as quickly as non-human fish swim.

But at this moment…

At this time, most of the party, including Lee Jin-hyun, were soaking in the water..

only two people,

Iare and Seo Ji-yoon were still sitting on the beach.

“Are you not going in? It is a long-awaited sea.”

“… it’s okay. It’s embarrassing to say it, but it’s because it’s a beer bottle from the beginning.”

Seo Ji-yoon shows a bitter smile on her lips at Are’s words.

Then she looked at Are, who was sitting next to her, and asked in a cautious voice.

“Isn’t Mr. Are coming in? Unlike me, I don’t think you can swim…”

“..Yes, I am not bad at swimming. But now I have more important things to do than that.”

“..what..?”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Jiyoon expresses her doubts about the fact that there are more important things than coming all the way to Hawaii and enjoying the sea.

Looking at her like that, Are asked in a calm voice with a serious expression on his face.

“I was always looking at opportunities. But… it’s only now that I’ve found a time like this, time to talk to you alone.”

“!…”

Are’s words make you feel quite heavy from the start.

Regarding this, Jiyoon’s face began to contain a little embarrassment and strange tension.

“That means you have something to say to me, right? That is very important.”

“Yes, it is.”

With those words, Are’s unique red eyes flashed.

Then, looking at Seo Ji-yoon, she spoke in one voice as if she had a slight chill.

“I’m sure you’ve already noticed it to some extent… but I’ll tell you clearly right here to confirm. I am now… dating Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun.”

“… ”

Seo Ji-yoon’s eyes start to tremble slightly at those words.

Of course, as she said, Seo Ji-yoon was already well aware that Are and Lee Jin-hyeon were dating each other.

Even though it was not openly revealed like Kwon Soon, apart from that, anyone with a little bit of notice would quickly know that the two of them were very close.

When we go on the road together, we start by holding hands without hesitation.

Of course, when something happens to each other, we show the first to come forward,

Even at meals, sitting across from each other, wiggling each other’s feet under the table, and so on.

Although it was not very noticeable, the fact that the two had a special relationship was relatively easy to notice from Seo Ji-yoon’s point of view, who often stuck by Jin-hyeon’s side as a slave.

Moreover, decisively, Ji-yoon happened to see it a while ago…

Are’s behavior of carefully entering Jinhyeon’s room late at night and locking the door…

No matter how emotional it was, it was a part that even she had a bit of awkwardness, she could definitely notice.

The two have already…

It means that we went until the so-called go.

But,

Aside from knowing that fact, Seo Ji-yoon could not help but automatically get nervous about Iare’s words, which were killing him in confirmation at this moment.

Regardless of whether she already knew whether it was true or not, she was able to intuitively recognize why the woman in front of her had brought up such a story.

“… That means… are you warning me now? So that I don’t have a foolish mind towards Jinhyeon-nim.”

Seo Ji-yoon tells the story with a bit of self-help.

Looking at her like that, Iare spoke in a calm, yet slightly chilled voice.

“Not necessarily, but…yes, I don’t think I can honestly say no. What woman in the world would just watch the man she loves be taken away by someone else?”

“… ”

“Honestly, I still don’t like the relationship between you and Jinhyun. Slavery… It’s a relationship that started with the pretext of atonement, but I see it as a relationship that can build friendship… and furthermore, affection.”

“..ha ha ha..”

It was a dry tone, but nonetheless, Are uses the expression love openly.

Hearing her words like this, Seo Ji-yoon let out a laugh that made her feel helpless and said…

“Well… Depending on what you think, it might be. It is only natural that a man and a woman become attached to each other when they pass close by. From that point of view, it would be natural for you, his lover, to be wary of me.. but..”

With those words, Seo Ji-yoon shows a bitter smile on her lips.

Then she looked at Are in front of her and spoke in a calm voice.

“But… I can say emphatically no on that point. As I have been saying all along, the reason I became Jinhyeon-nim’s slave was to pay for my sins. To think that I, who is no different from a sinner, is love… There’s no way that would be allowed.”

“… ”

Are slightly frowned at her words that seemed to contain such confidence.

Then, Jiyoon spoke to Are in a clear voice.

“What Mr. Areh is worried about… that won’t happen. In a way, this is related to the meaning of my existence.”

“… ”

Are, who remains silent while listening to Jiyoon’s words.

Then, she slowly looked away from Jiyoon and looked at the sea in front of her eyes as she spoke.

“If you would say so. I’ll believe it for now. No.. I will try to believe it.”

Are, who is talking while showing a little bit of uncomfortable feeling that still doesn’t go away.

In response to her words, Seo Ji-yoon also replied while looking at the sea.

“thank you.”

At the last moment, her voice

Areh thought that it was not simply because of his mood that gave the impression that it was quiet and contained a bit of sadness.

“Really?… On vacation at Dreamers?”

“Yeah, I think I’m going to take a good rest now since I’ve been through a lot. I heard that the top floor, right above us, is being occupied. for a week.”

“… It’s a week…”

Lieutenant General Dana sat on the bed and muttered in a low voice while listening to Kwak Je-hyeon.

Seeing her like this, Kwak Je-hyeon, who conveyed the situation, began to smile slightly bitterly at the corners of her mouth without realizing it.

‘I can’t believe that Song Dana would fall in love like this. I really didn’t even think about it.’

At this moment, Song Dana’s face clearly shows the anticipation that cannot be hidden.

It was the face of a woman who was so in love that she couldn’t care less about anything else.

‘From the past, Dana must have had feelings for Lee Jin-hyun. That’s what this incident has definitely opened my eyes to…’

Nine out of ten, it was clear that at this moment, her mind would be full of thoughts about how to establish contact with Lieutenant Jinhyeon within the next week.

Although her rank and authority have now changed, she was originally an aide-de-camp of the highest-ranking hunter guild, and planning a strategy to achieve a certain goal is as familiar as breathing.

In this way, Vice Admiral Song Dana came up with her own plan in a short time, and then she prepared to put it into action step by step.
