CH 30

No, I mean, where and how did he get sick and suddenly collapse in a heap of blood?

“Didn’t he get better and get discharged?

At this rate, the bureau will clean up the invoice. Ki Tae-yeon’s face turned red as he wrapped his arms around Han Cha-soo.

“Oh, I don’t want to write that.”

It’s been a while since I sent Woo Jeo-geun to get the healers. I didn’t know where and what the hell he was doing.

In the meantime, the warmth of my embrace was quickly cooling. Fidgeting here and there, Ki Tae-yeon looked at his inventory as if remembering something.

“It’s driving me crazy.”

I used it up last time and forgot to refill it; I’m not the type of person who needs potions.

“Cough!”

Han Cha-soo spurted blood again, as if he was dying. Ki Tae-yeon looked at the hot blood with a strange expression on his face and rolled up his sleeves.

“Hunter Han Cha-soo.”

“…….”

“I didn’t do it on purpose, so take it into consideration.”

After muttering something unintelligible, Ki Tae-yeon immediately bit his wrist.

Kkadeuk, kkeudeudeuk. The sound of something hard tearing echoed through the space.

(TL/N: istg, translating sound effects are harder than normal words.)

“It’s hard to eat, so don’t spill it and eat it well….”

Ki Tae-yeon dropped a drop of blue blood onto Han Cha-soo’s white lips.

His eyes shone white as he looked down at Han Cha-soo, who was gradually regaining his color.

It wasn’t until the hunters from the Bureau, including Woo Jeo-geun, arrived.

“Ah, I knew it, I knew this day would come, leader, I told you you’d get a big nose injury for living like this!”

“Well, I think your nose will break first.”

“Team Leader, he’s threatening me!”

“…Assistant Manager Lee, let’s get treatment first.”

Taking a step back, Ki Tae-yeon watched as Han Cha-soo was treated.

There was no sign of wound anywhere on his crossed arms.

“Mr. Han Cha-soo…. Please open your eyes. Please, or I’ll die.”

What, is it raining…?

Han Cha-soo panicked as he finally came to his senses. His vision was blurry and drops of water were pouring down.

‘Don’t tell me, he threw me outside because I threw up some blood.’

He barely blinked away the panic.

“Aaahhhhhhhhh! Han Chasoo-ssi!!!”

Suddenly, an orange lunged at him, and he screamed.

“Ugh…!”

His head rang with the screeching, eardrum-piercing shriek. Han Cha-soo reflexively grimaced.

Meanwhile, his restored vision cleared. Things became clearer, and oranges became more distinct.

Wiping the tears from her eyes, she smiled brightly at him…

‘That’s the person Jung Yiheon said he sent.’

What is she doing here. Where is Ki Tae-yeon?

Before he could ask, the other person grabbed him by the shoulders.

It was slightly creepy to see a tear trickling down the corner of her mouth.

“Ha, Mr. Han Cha-soo…”

“…….”

“T, talk to me, you’re not stupid, your head is fine, right?”

“…I’m fine.”

“Hmph, I love you!”

It seemed quite difficult to calm the orange, who was about to hug with his arms open. But.

“Ah, my head.”

He groaned as he rubbed his head, and thankfully it came off quickly. Meanwhile, Han Cha-soo glanced outside. The sky was getting darker. It was well past dinnertime.

“What the hell is going on?”

“Uh, well, hmm, hmm. That’s what it is.”

This was the summary of the orange that suddenly began to talk less.

Orange’s identity is Seon Hee-da, an A-rank hunter from the Heavenly Spirit Guild. She’s a daily bodyguard who came at Jung Yiheon’s request.

She says she didn’t mean to get into a fight at the exchange, and she’s confused as to how things got out of hand.

“I’m usually pretty calm, which is why the guild leader trusted me with Han Chasoo-ssi…”

It wasn’t a very trustworthy statement, but that’s just you.

In any case, fighting between awakened in broad daylight was a felony. It was a threat to the safety of the public.

However, the defendants were spared the shackles because no one was actually harmed and the exchange wanted a leniency.

The week-long detention was inevitable.

“…Is this the detention room?”

Sending a bleeding man to the detention room? Han Cha-soo admired Ki Tae-yeon’s personality.

I heard they didn’t give him the job because he’s a jerk. No wonder.

“Oh, no, this is the staff recovery room at the Bureau headquarters. I just stopped by to check on Han Chasoo-ssi.”

After wiping away her tears, Seon Hee-da spoke up.

“When I found out that Ki Taeyeon-ssi had taken Han Chasoo-ssi away, I asked to see him, because if it’s that guy, he’s definitely going to bully you.”

Her eyes were an accurate orange. Han Cha-soo asked her to tell him more and handed her a water bottle.

“Ugh,” said a thirsty Sun-hee, grumbling.

“But he insisted that it wouldn’t work? He was near the scene of the crime, which is suspicious. We need to investigate. No, we stir-fried it and talked about it. I was wondering what it was…. All of a sudden, Team Leader Woo is calling for healers.”

As if he didn’t have enough hands, even the healer who was being interrogated with him was called out.

“What the hell, why were you called in?”

“I’m here to heal Han Chasoo-ssi.”

“What?”

A cold light flashed in Seon Hee-da’s eyes as she recalled the incident.

The excitement quickly subsided to calm.

“So I calmly expressed my opinion to Team Leader Woo.”

Seon Hee-da clenched and unclenched her fist. Han Cha-soo sensed that her voice had taken on a physical form.

“As expected, I rushed over and found Han Cha-soo just wandering around, huh? Ha, Chief Ki, that son of a bitch.”

“As I expected, I ran to see Han Cha-soo? Ha, Chief Ki, that shithead is really.”

“I see, calm down.”

Seon Hee-da’s eyes lit up. Han Cha-soo urgently calmed her down.

If he listened any longer, she would have enough and go to kill Ki Tae-yeon.

‘Either way, Ki Tae-yeon let me go.’

I used my skills to scare him, but he was only talking to me, and I suddenly collapsed. Even Ki Tae-yeon would have been surprised.

It was worth the gamble. Han Cha-soo checked the activated regeneration skill and lowered his gaze.

“Whoo…. I’m sorry, this is crazy. I can’t believe I said such harsh words in front of a sick person.”

Meanwhile, Seon Hee-da had suddenly gone into self-pity mode. Her mood swings were dramatic.

She tore her orange hair out of her face with an impatient gesture.

“I don’t know why I’m so out of control today, but I’m glad Han Chasoo-ssi is okay, really.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, and I’ve checked, so Han Chasoo-ssi will be able to go home soon. I’ll be staying here, but that’s okay, the guild leader said he’ll get his revenge.”

The orange head chuckled and looked up. A tangled mass of hair fell into the air.

A faint look of surprise crossed Han Cha-soo’s face.

“Revenge?”

You don’t mean beating up the Awakening Management Bureau. Even if it is, it won’t be that bad. Han Cha-soo was worried, but Seon Hee-da held his hand tightly.

“Oh, don’t worry. It’s not like we’re going to kidnap and kill the director or anything. We’re just going to make the Awakening Management Bureau a little busier?”

“…….”

“Exilis said they will cooperate, so don’t worry, Han Chasoo-ssi.”

You tell me not to worry and then make me worry even more.

I don’t know what you’re going to do, but please do it in moderation. Han Cha-soo said sincerely.

“If it’s because of me, it’s okay. You don’t have to do that….”

“No!”

Seon Hee-da shook her head vigorously.

“I don’t know about you or the other hunters, but Han Cha-soo is a victim, a victim who has suffered at the hands of the overbearing Awakening Management Bureau, so leave it to us.”

I was in no position to argue. It was too late.

“Unidentified explosions coming from the direction of District 2! Hunters in charge of the area, please stand by for immediate dispatch!”

“Sudden appearance of fog in the Yulhye-dong Arboretum? Wait, it keeps expanding in range! What the hell is going on!”

Radios and shouts from the corridor beyond the wall. Han Cha-soo’s eyes fluttered at the unusual atmosphere.

“Seon Hee-da, that can’t be it.”

“Oh, I don’t know, Han Chasoo-ssi, don’t worry about it, just get some rest and go home.”

Seon Hee-da’s cheerful aura was so frightening. Han Cha-soo was shivering all over again.

Knock, knock. There was a knock at the door, and someone called out to Seon Hee-da.

“Visiting hours are over. Hunter Seon Hee-da, please come out.”

“…….”

“If you don’t come out in ten seconds, your time here will be increased by one more week.”

Seon Hee-da muttered something he couldn’t make out, whether it was a swear or a curse, and stood up.

“Goodbye then. Until we meet again, take care of yourself.”

“Yes….”

If that’s possible. Han Cha-soo was about to enter the blanket when he paused. He called out to Seon Hee-da.

“Hold on, hunter Seon Hee-da.”

“What?”

“Why were you calling me a VIP earlier?”

I asked out of the blue.

The person who called me VIP on the exchange was now calling me Han Chasoo-ssi.

The answer was unexpected.
