Lee Sa-young didn’t come back to the shop for a few days, even though he’d first offered to trade and gave him his number. In the meantime, Ui-jae hadn’t deleted his number. Nor did he sell it to the tomato market. Instead, he kept his number on and thought about him more and more.

This is because, as per Lee Sa-young’s ominous prophecy, strange characters have been flocking to the store like carp chasing their prey.

For example….

“Yes, this is Haejang-guk house.”

-Hello, I’m Kim So-young, a writer from MBB station, do you mind if I call?

“Sorry, we don’t deliver.”

-I’m not ordering, I’m just calling to ask if you’d like to appear on the show. Our program is called Live One Today, which airs on weekdays at 7pm, and we have a restaurant introduction segment…

“I’m not going on the show.”

-Promoting your restaurant as a hunter’s destination will help your business…

“No thanks, I’ve got a lot of customers, so I’m hanging up now.”

He gets calls like this once a day,

“Sir.”

“What?”

“Switch off the camera in your bag.”

“What? No, tell me where the camera is. Did you see that? Ha, that’s ridiculous.”

“It’s illegal to film without permission.”

“Hey, man! I can hear the camera rolling. He’s ignoring the hunters’ ears.”

“Why are you filming me eating haejang-guk? What is he?”

“…Crazy, he’s a cyber wreckers who made a forced controversy and posted it on YouTube!”

“What!”

“Shit, we’ll see!”

“If we don’t catch him, he’s going to hook up with two of the people here and make a big deal out of it.”

“What the fuck are you sitting around for, get that bastard!”

“Don’t take my haejang-guk away. I’ll catch that bastard before the soup gets cold.”

“I have a warming artefact. Your seafood soup will be fine.”

“Lee Wonho-ssi…!”

“Kang Doo-chil-ssi…!”

“Looks like they’re going to have a fight.”

Not to mention that such incidents are not uncommon…

—Don’t cry YS 

-(Crying emoticon)

-Yesung-ssi, my brother is looking for the mana stone, so just wait for me. If you cry, my heart will break too ᅲ ᅲ;;

-Jung-bin, please confiscate the instagram from Hong Yesung.

-Yesung, I love you, but these kind of post are a little overwhelming.

Hong Yesung’s emotional Instagram posts with tearful selfies,

It’s really delicious^^ -Hunter Jungbin

After being confronted with Jung-bin’s autographed paper sticking out of the registered mail that suddenly arrived, I lost the will to care.

Ui-jae thought about selling it to the Tomato Market, but he didn’t want to be subjected to message terrorism again, so he kept it on the wall. Ha-eun liked it, so it worked out in the end.

Recently, ordinary people with cannon cameras have also begun to linger near the shop, presumably to take pictures of the Named Hunter. The quiet life was starting to get a little annoying, with more and more things to do with the wider world.

12.24pm. Ui-jae swept the front of the shop with a broom in his brief spare time and made a face. He could feel a camera filming him from afar. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any electrical skills, so he couldn’t sabotage the camera from a distance. He could throw a broom and hit the camera, but….

‘Should I throw it?’

“Part-timer! Please give us more kimchi!”

“Yes.”

‘I am a weak ordinary person. An ordinary person can’t break a camera with a broom. I am an ordinary person….’

Luckily, the timely call pushed the bad thoughts out of his head. Reminding himself that he’s just an ordinary person working at Haejang-guk house, Ui-jae returned to the tutu shop. All of this couldn’t have happened because of a single mana stone.

An incredibly rare mana stone showing up at the local tomato market should be a cause for concern among hunters. Some madman has posted an A+ grade gem at a low price and they’re going to scour the neighborhood to find the owner. They’re also going to eat the famous haejang-guk, which is a favorite among hunters.

But a restaurant where Korea’s proud number one ranked hunter, Lee Sa-young, and the country’s official hunter, Jung-bin, ate haejang-guk side by side? That’s a big deal.

It’s no wonder that the house gets all the attention from that moment on. The timing was right, too, as it was after Jung-bing’s visit that the first cyber wreckers and cannon cameras appeared around the house.

‘I think Jung-bin and Lee Sa-young are the problem….’

It was at this moment that Ui-jae heard Jung-bin’s voice on the TV giving tips on how to prevent water pipes from freezing and took out the kimchi jar.

Buaang-

“Argh!”

“Crazy!”

“Help!”

A loud exhaust notes and a tearing scream shattered the silence of the alley. Ui-jae glanced out the door. He’d convinced himself that he could handle being surprised by anything by now, but the sight of a sleek black motorbike crashing through the door was still refreshing.

The hunters in the waiting line at the front of the restaurant clung to the wall to avoid the motorbike and the hunters eating haejang-guk stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

A black leather rider’s jacket, dark navy-blue jeans and black boots. Someone with a helmet pressed down on top stood in front of the shop’s sliding door. The rider’s jacket lingered for a moment, as if scanning the shop, and then roughly removed the helmet. Bright golden hair, tied back in a high ponytail, fell in soft waves.

Hunters who were watching the jacket’s behavior with bated breath made a gasp.

“L, longevity Wasp…!”

“What’s Longevity Wasp doing here?”

“Some bastard said Longevity Wasp. Do you want to be killed?”

“Hic, sorry!”

She didn’t bother to hide her ferocious momentum, slamming open the sliding door and bursting into the shop. A high-ponytailed blonde and the nickname Longevity Wasp. This was someone he’d seen before when he was looking for information on Lee Sa-young.

-Ranked #5 in South Korea, A-rank Hunter. Real name Yoo Chae-hyun. Her hunter’s name is Honeybee, but many people call her Longevity Wasp because of her fighting style and personality.

…But why would a fifth-ranked hunter come to such a shabby haejang-guk house? To eat haejang-guk? As if to mock Ui-jae’s idea, Honeybee shouted from the top of her lungs.

“Lee Sa-young, come out!”

Okay, so it’s him again. One more hunter sign for the wall.

Ui-jae’s expression instantly turned cold.

Honeybee noticed his gaze and glanced back at him. Her eyes scanned him up and down as if searching while he’s holding a kimchi container, and when she realized he is an ordinary person, her voice became relatively friendly.

“Is there a problem?”

As far as he was concerned, there were already plenty of problems. This wasn’t one of those cute little things that could be passed off as a problem.

The motorbike parking in front of the door! The shamelessness of the person who came in shouting ‘Lee Sae-young!’! The arrogance of the person who blocked the door!! The harshness of the person who made the waiting customers stick to the wall like gum!!!!! And finally, the ominous premonition of a honeybee zone!!!!!! Everything was a problem.

At the time, Jung-bin panicked because he hadn’t seen anyone he knew in a long time, but in fact, dealing with these hunters was easy for Ui-jae. He spoke as blindly and innocently as he had when he had called the Rift Management Agency.

”Oh, wait.”

“…….”

[Trait poker face (B) is activated]

“You’re Honeybee, right?”

At this point, he’ll in the normal cosplay meta.

The more powerful and famous hunters care about their reputations, so it’s a good idea to be kind and gentle with the general public. Ui-jae even uses a special move that hunters wouldn’t say even if they were dead, to prove that he’s just an ordinary good citizen.

“Wow, I’m a big fan.”

Hearing the fan’s comment, Honeybee was quickly changed her posture like a bee. She untied her hair and swept her long blonde locks out of her face, striking her signature CF pose, her tresses fluttering in the heater breeze.

“Change your color!”

(TL/N: this part is written in English on the raw)

‘Like this?’

Ui-jae paused a little, but soon regained his mind. He even cheered, tapping the surface of the kimchi container like a drum.
