"How many tis do I have to tell you before you understand? How long do I have to accommodate you?"
"Ha... I really don’t want to party with soone like you."
"Give it to once. Honestly, I’ve given it to you many tis. It’s not like it’s worn out, so I’ll give it to you too."
"Hey! Stop wagging your tail. You shaless bitch!"
"Ha... Let’s stop here. It seems like our guild and you don’t fit together."
Every day was miserable for Lee Hyun-ah.
I ca to Seoul with a hopeful future in mind, thinking that I could beco an Awakened and take revenge on the annoying monsters.
What ca to her was a harsh reality.
Talent that doesn’t follow through as much as you want, dirty desires for sothing other than skill, and envy and jealousy about it...
As the days went by, she beca more and more exhausted and her self-esteem hit rock bottom.
Her motivation, which made her feel like she could do anything, had long since disappeared, and she was just holding on by inertia.
And even that inertia was broken when he was fired from the guild.
’Should I just give up and go down like Minwoo said...?’
But she couldn’t give up.
I was afraid that if I gave up like this, the words that criticized and mocked her would beco reality.
But she was too tired to continue living the life of a hunter.
... and then I t Gamdeokbae.
"Aha! So this is how you do it?"
"Wow! You really know a thing or two. Thank you."
A beginner who started out as a hunter without even knowing the basics.
A person who is more stupid, foolish, and ignorant than you.
Still, he is a kind man and doesn’t say anything unpleasant.
She smiled for the first ti since she was fired.
’Huh! Are you an idiot? How can you not know sothing like this? I have no choice but to tell you.’
’No! You’re going to do that? Do I really have to tell you this?’
’That’s right. I feel a little better now. But what’s with that expression? Huh! What did you do to make that confident expression?’
She was so happy for the first ti in a long ti.
It was refreshing and fun to hear her, who always got in trouble, teach sothing.
Although he was a student with a bad attitude toward learning, I felt proud as he gradually reduced his mistakes.
From the fact that there are people who are worse than you
And in that the person is dependent on himself
So in that sense, the person acts according to his words.
Her self-esteem, which had hit rock bottom, began to rise little by little.
"Ah, I see. If I register my card here, the proceeds from the sale of magic stones will be automatically deposited?"
"Can I rent so equipnt there?"
"Huh? No? What is it... Ah! This is it! Right?"
"That’s right. Hyun-ah, you really know a lot. Thanks to you, I won’t hear any complaints about you wherever I go."
Lee Hyun-ah felt a thrill at every word Gam Deok-bae said.
The gratitude I received from him was strangely addictive.
So she didn’t let him go.
In order to continue to hear complints and be appreciated, she took care of every little thing for him.
Before I knew it, ti had passed and most of the stores were closing.
"Hyun-ah, thank you so much for today. It must have been hard for you to take this much care of soone you just t, so thank you so much for accepting my request."
"Ah... no! I didn’t do it for free either."
"But it’s actually my will. He also gave a few magic stones."
"That’s... since you’re an F-rank... doesn’t it usually happen that seniors take care of their juniors? It’s the sa for Hunters. Yes. It’s like that."
"But that’s not always the case, right? I’m glad I could party with Hyuna. I want to et a party mber like Hyuna next ti too."
"Huh... Huh?"
She was genuinely embarrassed.
There’s still a lot more to teach you, and a lot more to take care of.
So I deserve more ’thank you’...
He seems to want other party mbers.
"You said you only party with D-rank mbers of the sa rank, right? I hope I can get promoted quickly and party with you again."
"ah..."
That’s right.
Not knowing him well, she had built a wall around him.
I brought it up because I didn’t want to party up with an old, ugly-looking F-rank healer, and this was the first and last ti I’d do it.
But that was her mistake. The man she actually t was not the low-quality person she thought he was.
"That’s not true!"
"yes?"
"That’s... Mr. Deokbae has both skills and artifacts, so it’s hard to see him as an F-rank... Also... That’s right! Shouldn’t you be relieved? I think you’ll forget again tomorrow..."
"What do you an?"
"So... I’ll help you until you get promoted to D-rank! It’s hard to find a party mber you like. You might et a bad party mber and have your artifact stolen!"
She couldn’t figure out what she was saying.
I just brought up whatever ca to mind to sohow catch Gamdeokbae.
"It’s not a loss for either, because it’s not easy to find a healer! Mr. Deokbae still has a lot to learn, and if you party up with another hunter, you might cause trouble... No! I don’t an to cause trouble for you..."
"Ah, it’s good for if I keep partying with Hyuna. It’s reassuring to party with a veteran."
"Veteran... Yes, that’s right! Good choice!"
’I did it...!’
Luckily, he readily accepted the party invitation.
Her stiff expression softened.
Her heart raced at the thought that he was relying on her, as he called her a solid veteran.
"Please contact ! I’ll prepare the dungeons I’m going to conquer and the schedule in advance and then contact you!"
"Oh, then I would be so grateful."
"Ahh... He’s thanking again!"
She was so happy to be back at the party that she didn’t even realize it.
Today, for the first ti in her life, she asked for the number of a person of the opposite sex.
====
Wow... This is the first ti in my life that I got my number from a girl.
Is this the effect of investing points in appearance?
No, actually, it’s probably because it’s harder to find a healer, but I still feel good because I got the number.
But you still shouldn’t be mistaken; Lee Hyun-ah has a boyfriend.
Even before we t, she had been subtly ntioning her boyfriend, and when I t her today, she was blatantly wearing a couple ring.
It probably ans sothing like, "Don’t make unnecessary mistakes and don’t accumulate things recklessly."
So today I tried my best to be as impenetrable as possible, and I think it worked.
After the raid was over, I noticed that her guard had been greatly reduced.
And actually, there was no ti to worry.
Just go into the dungeon, kill monsters, pick up magic stones, and that’s it! Wasn’t that it?
What was there to worry about so much? I had to learn each and every entry and retreat timing, and I had to morize each monster’s weaknesses.
There were more things to know about the equipnt rental fee and the magic stone collector than I thought.
I wonder if I was too complacent, believing only the rumors floating around on the Internet.
Still, I learned the minimum I needed to know by taking private lessons from Lee Hyun-ah.
I was worried that people might misunderstand that I was working on it, but fortunately, Hyunah Lee readily agreed and taught everything I needed to know in detail.
He seed like a tough guy before we t, but when we actually t, he was a nice person.
There are people like that. People whose speech style changes online. Maybe Hyuna Lee is one of those people.
Anyway, thanks to Lee Hyun-ah, I was able to safely complete my first dungeon raid, receive Hunter attribute lessons, and make plans for future parties.
It was a positive day in many ways.
