The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 330

Deputy Director Yoon OO, is sothing wrong?

What is this? Is it otitis externa? I definitely scratched it in the room earlier, but my ear keeps itching.

After going in circles, the situation had inexplicably beco frustrating only for those naless stars who would die without leaving behind even a trace of their nas. And just when a certain country's special agent group was being falsely accused of sothing they hadn't even done—the hero in the left, Jung Haseong, finally shifted his stance. He moved the hand he had rested on the top of the steering wheel and soon gripped the gearshift knob.

...

Just because an S-rank awakener has many things, doesn't an they have ti to spare. He really needed to stop entertaining these pointless thoughts now.

Suddenly, another fake Beast shows up in Korea, and when the mask cos off, a famous Hunter jumps out. As if that wasn't enough—just what is going on today alone?

.

He felt foolish. Even now, Haseong found himself hoping that the loose-lipped doctor he'd seen earlier would suddenly admit to a mistake in the diagnosis. And the reason why a man so far removed from being a drear kept imagining one impossible scenario after another was simple.

Haa...

Because now, Kim Giryeo has beco the undisputed benchmark of the industry.

Whenever a major crisis struck, people would instinctively think of his na. And now, when that person took part in a raid, even hunters in the deadliest of battlefields would feel reassured. The reality that Korea's fourth S-rank hunter now stood at a crossroads of danger—there likely wasn't a single soul in this land who could accept that calmly.

Why do things like this only ever happen in my life, seriously?

Moreover, from Ha-seong's perspective, the whole situation felt even more unfair. Honestly, he had been doing just fine on his own until that damn dungeon shock phenonon happened. Because of so mana or whatever—resource s he never even wanted—he ended up losing so much. And among the things he lost was his mother's health, which had always been the most important thing in his life.

But now, even if he sohow managed to obtain a legendary cure-all from myth, the reality was that he would still end up turning his back on soone—by his own choice.

Why does it keep happening... why is it always just ?

Tuk.

Ha-seong couldn't bring himself to start the car and instead leaned back against the seat. If he ever managed to obtain the long-awaited elixir, his first priority wouldn't be Kim Giryeo, but his mother who was bedridden from magic addiction. Therefore, he simply had no spare capacity left. Faced with the harsh reality that he had to ignore the troubles of a certain person, Jung Haseong was overwheld with even deeper regret.

If I had known it would co to this, I never would've pushed for teaming up......

Co to think of it, judging by the signs... Kim Giryeo didn't seem to have any close relatives he kept in touch with.

If that article about him growing up in an orphanage is true, then there's probably no hope on the birth parents' side either.

Kim Giryeo's ho had collapsed, so he'd been keeping his belongings at soone else's apartnt. If that's the case... should he be the one to prepare a change of clothes for him in advance?

It's not like he owns a lot of stuff anyway... But still, once soone's hospitalized, they always end up needing all sorts of little things.

It was around the ti when he suddenly had a worry.

Ting.

His phone buzzed. The smartphone resting on the dashboard mount lit up, catching Jeong Haseong's attention. He reached out and tapped the screen to check the notification. What appeared was a ssage from soone.

New ssage: Hunter Kim Giryeo

More precisely, it was a ssage from another S-Rank Awakener in the sa industry.

Hm?

But when he finally opened it, the ssage was full of content he hadn't expected at all.

Right. As expected, he's asking to bring all the clothes from his place... Wait a second, all of them? And on top of that, he's planning to move out of the apartnt as soon as he's discharged?

A sudden notice to end the ho-sharing arrangent. Well. If you really think about it in detail... It was pretty strange in the first place that an S-rank—essentially a modern-day bourgeois—was crashing at soone else's place. But still...

Until now, it was almost suspicious how he kept postponing buying a new place.

Why now?

Jung Haseong frowned with one eye as he held onto his phone. And just a few seconds later, shock spread across his face. A plausible theory had flashed through his mind.

No way...!

Until now, he hadn't really paid much attention to how long that Hunter's temporary stay was dragging on. He had just assud the guy was too lazy to go house hunting.

Was this really because of ?

But now, looking back, that Hunter who was staying in the guest room often exhibited certain behaviors.

Haseong-ah, are you heading out to work again today?

Yes.

Yeah. Then I'll take care of lunch myself. For dinner, just heat up the rice I made when you get back.

Cleaning soone else's house, and sotis even cooking a pot of white rice with care. At first, every ti he ca ho to find the place spotless, it made him so uncomfortable he thought he might die from guilt.

_ _

But according to what he'd heard from his mother, his father—who had passed away before he was even two years old—was also soone who was incredibly self-sufficient like that. It's sothing most of the public knows by now. In truth, this top-ranked Hunter cos from a single-parent household, having lost his father at a very young age.

Anyway, I heard Dad took charge of all the cooking, even making her first baby food himself?

A relationship too faint to even call a mory. Until now, he had never really felt the absence of his father as sothing to mourn. But perhaps, apart from that absence he had always taken for granted, there had always been so kind of complex buried deep inside. At so point, Jung Haseong began to genuinely appreciate having soone else help with the housework. And being looked after by a man who felt more mature than him—almost like an older brother though in reality, that wasn't the case in age—was actually not a bad thing in many ways.

I guess... I missed the atmosphere from when Mom was still around.

But looking back now, even if it was comfortable and nice, he really should've stopped him—grabbed his sleeve and told him not to. Was that kind of behavior really just due to personal habits? No matter how tidy soone is, it's unusual for them to take charge of soone else's household chores. Jung Haseong soon began to suspect sothing.

Perhaps Kim Giryeo had been surprised to find himself struggling with self-care and had been putting off buying a house because of that...

_ _

It's suspicious. Up until now, Kim Giryeo had stayed in the spare room under one excuse or another. But the mont he ends up in a situation where "he" might need help—he suddenly declares he's moving out?

Our perspectives are completely different. I was certain that, at least this ti, I was the one helping that Hunter...

Suspicious.

And just like that, Jung Haseong beca convinced of a certain misunderstanding—that during their ti living together, it was actually he who had been on the receiving end of help all along.

Stupidly, oh my god. I completely misunderstood again by all myself.

Then what exactly was that person—the one who ended up chipping away at the self-esteem of South Korea's number one hunter—doing right now? And more importantly, why did they send a ssage about getting a new place at this particular timing?

Tick.

[Record]

While all hospital workers use honorifics without exception, patients frequently respond in an informal tone.

Upon closer examination, the omission of honorifics occurred at a rate of 2% toward Earthlings in white coats (doctors) and 98% toward nurses. Therefore, this is also assessed as a form of authority-submission phenonon.

Oh dear, mammals truly lack spirit...

It pretends the age of hierarchy is over, but seeing how society remains the sa, it seems correct to predict a low possibility of improvent over ti.

The sound of a pen drawing echoes in the air.

Ugh, this writing sensation is sohow unpleasant.

Today marks the first day of my hospitalization at a dical facility on Earth. I had just finished a traditional Korean al that was already in the hospital for breakfast. With the day starting off smoothly, I was now in the midst of carrying out my planned activities.

Is it because I bought a cheap pen?

It was none other than "preparing for cleanup."

For the humans on this planet, it would undoubtedly be nothing but news of an ergency. I've said it many tis, but I was reborn on this planet and endured all sorts of hardships. And through that stormy survival process, I steadily nurtured my resolve.

[54%]

When I regained my mories with Lee Hwayoung, my anger was halfway there.

[77%]

Now, it ans that it's almost on the verge of exploding.

Rather than opening the lid later and grabbing whatever cos my way, it's much healthier to think about the chaff that I can rationally pick out in advance.

The problem, however, is that my lungs still haven't fully recovered. Since I can't be discharged right away and am stuck in this hospital, there are inevitably many difficulties in the process.

The situations I can observe are far too limited.

Well, setting aside the issue of space for now...

Ms. Choi, I have sothing to ask—about the patient you examined earlier... Light?

Ah, you startled ! Why are you suddenly—kyahhh!

The biggest obstacle was exactly this kind of thing.

H, Hunter Kim Giryeo?

Eek!, I'm so sorry! Please excuse , sir!

As you can see, humans get startled when they see . After all, this body was just a few hours ago torn apart like a map of the entire Korean peninsula—lungs ripped to shreds and barely stitched back together.

Hmm.

Not only was I unable to activate any spells, but I couldn't even freely use my physical strength at the mont. And yet, Kim Giryeo's body—now unrestrained—had released all its suppressed magic, radiating an overwhelming presence I like this. If I suppress my magic too much, I end up in pain. But if I don't suppress it... people around react like that.

You're overreacting.

How on earth am I supposed to secretly observe the kids in this condition?

Honestly, everyone just completely loses their minds over the superior performance of this body.

Tak.

I closed the spring notebook I was holding with one hand. I had stopped what I was doing out of annoyance. And before the dical personnel in front of fainted from my magic, I moved my legs and left the area.

At this rate, I'll end up getting kicked out of the hospital barefoot.

Strictly speaking, it's not like I only have one thing to do.

Should I just go back to my room and browse the internet or sothing?

Anyway, filling out the score sheet was a task that could, at best, be put on the back burner, ranked second or third in priority. As I said before, the beast corpses collected by Earthlings were likely deteriorating mont by mont, even at this very second. So, if I had to rush, prioritizing that investigation was the right move.

I should call Seonwoo Yeon later when she gets off work and ask him about the procedure. How can I et the dead impersonators?

It was at this mont, I put the notebook I was holding into my pocket and took out my phone instead. The thought of making a call simultaneously reminded of another task during the process of thinking.

Ah. That's right.

Co to think of it, it's about ti I put an end to this freeloading. After all, this body belongs to none other than the unprecedented S-rank Hunter in all of history.

All this ti, I've been exempted from rent. Thanks for that. But I guess saving you from that fake beast yesterday more than makes up for it, right?

I decided it was ti to put an end to my freeloading life at Jung Haseong's house.

I've been stressed out all this ti, worried the landlord might kick out the freeloader—

The reason I'd been rooming with the national hero all this ti? Well, I'm a pretty high-ranking (and frankly overpowered) hunter myself, so let's be honest—it wasn't because I wanted to save on rent. The truth is, the main reason I'd been freeloading was my ambition to study mammals. And the second reason? For my own safety.

South Korea's top hunter. If I just set Jung Haseong up like a guardian totem, there was no better defense in case of a monster appearance.

They say on Earth that a dog doesn't bite the hand that feeds it, and that fits perfectly.

However, Jung Haseong is also a person who lacks nothing financially, being at the top in that regard. Therefore, for a safe life in Korea, I even took care of household chores and flattered the landlord.

Jung Haseong must have been quite uncomfortable with a guest staying so long. I'll roughly move my belongings to the one-room lab I tentatively contracted, and then quickly find my new ho.

But now that I've regained the weapons to protect myself, there's really no reason to bother anyone else anymore.

I moved my fingers and sent a bunch of texts to Jung Haseong. The mont I regained my strength, the first thing I did was leave the hospital room and began contemplating what to eat for lunch. After that, I returned to my usual luxurious hospital room and began contemplating what to eat for lunch.
