The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

31 – I can’t put it off any longer

“Thank you, sister. Thanks to you, I think my concerns have been resolved.”

As I walked out of the cafe, I thanked Jisoo noona. It feels like she has clearly resolved the part she was worried about.

“I didn’t say anything, but what. Do well as you prepared, S-Class Female Heart Bomber.”

“Oh, don’t keep calling me weird.”

Jisoo noona keeps trying to make fun of me.

“Whoops, can’t we pretend we don’t know that we’ll do better later on?”

She just laughed at the way she smiled playfully and winked.

“Ah, I can’t keep stealing more time without notice. I don’t think I’ll be able to see a good thing if I stimulate it more.”

At that time, Jisoo noona’s gaze turned to us and said.

She looked at Ji-soo-noona, wondering what she meant, and pointed her head at the back of her telephone pole.

There she caught her eye, feeling our gaze and quickly hiding.

She was the one I saw at the cafe earlier, wearing black horn-rimmed and large eyeglasses.

I thought she was a normal person because I couldn’t feel her magic at all.

Jisoo noona said as she tapped my shoulder.

“Our ice princess couldn’t wait and came to see us. Why don’t we go soon?”

“Yes? Are you the Ice Princess?”

When she asked Ji-soo noona what it meant, she touched her forehead and said in frustration.

“Not paying attention. Just looking at it, you’re Choi Soo-jeong Hunter, you idiot.”

“But starting with her magical powers, it’s not like her appearance at all.”

She wondered what the fix was.

Jisoo noona shook her head at those words.

“It must be a disguise. You’re noticing that they’ll hate you if you say you secretly followed them. At the cafe earlier, he was looking at us and fidgeting cutely, not knowing what to do.”

In the meantime, a woman pokes her head out from behind a telephone pole.

When her eyes meet mine, I quickly hide her body again.

Certainly, it was clumsy to call something like an expert, and the movements felt familiar.

Of course, Sujeong is also in charge of combat like me, so she must be inexperienced in things like tracking and trailing.

“Well, anyway, I’ll leave. You don’t want to get in between the two and suffer? Call me again later.”

After raising her hand to say goodbye to me, Ji-soo noona turns her body away with a swish.

After seeing Ji-soo sister off, with her dubious feelings, I approached the woman who was clumsily hiding her body behind her telephone pole.

She didn’t run away, probably because she thought she was caught. She just stood there.

She called my name in a low voice, looking as if she had given up on everything.

“… Wonwoo.”

A familiar tone and voice. She was sure at once that it was Crystal.

Anyone can see that I was surprised that Soo-jung’s appearance was not left at all, and Ji-soo noona, who noticed this, thought that her notice was no joke.

“What are you doing here?”

First of all, I pretended not to know and asked.

“That’s it, wow… I happened to pass by and found Wonwoo.”

Her voice trembles as if she knows that even though she is saying it, it is a ridiculous excuse.

“What are you doing here? Besides, in a disguise I’ve never seen before, he secretly followed me to a cafe.”

Sujeong flinched at those words. Not knowing what to do, the wandering index fingers twirled and moved without rest.

“That… There it is.”

“What is it? Be honest.”

She asked, as if slightly pushing, Sujeong hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a crawling voice.

“Wonwoo was worried about the woman he was dating, so she quickly finished her work and followed me secretly….”

An honest answer that eventually jumped out. I don’t know how to react to this part.

I’m worried about forgiving this, and it’s definitely my fault for leaving us in an ambiguous state to scold.

“Oh.”

First of all, I stretched out my hand to Sujeongi, took off the hat she was wearing, and then took off her bobbed wig. Beautiful, silver-haired hair that falls down to her waist.

It could have been crumpled and clumped together, but I admired the hair falling without any effect.

“Hey, Wonwoo. Are you upset too?”

As I took off my disguise without saying a word, Sujeongi took off her glasses on her own, and Sujeongi couldn’t stand her anxiety and looked at me with brown eyes that were different from usual and asked.

She sighed inwardly as she looked like a heroine in a pitiful novel and reached out her hand toward Sujeongi’s cheek.

A ball that wraps gently. I gave her strength and twisted it slightly.

“Ouch, sister Wo. Sorry.”

“I made a mistake by letting it happen like this, so I’ll let it go like this for today. Don’t do that next time.”

“Wow!”

After hearing Sujeongi’s quick and roaring reply, she loosened her hands.

“Ugh….”

Sujeong-i was touching her cheek, as if she was in pain.

I could see marks left on Sujeongi’s white cheeks.

“What are you doing because you don’t trust me that much? As you can see, that person is just an older sister.”

As if he had waited for those words, Sujeongie grumbled with a troubled expression.

“You touch Wonwoo too naturally for that, and that’s why you were more concerned? It’s the first time I’ve seen it, Wonwoo-nim taking it so lightly.”

“Has that ever happened? I don’t remember. I only remember hitting her on the back hard.”

“You hit me on the back? Hey, hey! Wonwoo becomes so lax when you get close to him. Besides, it’s the older style that Wonwoo likes, so I’m more concerned about it or not?”

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at Sujeongi’s complaints piled up in her heart.

At that time, after greeting Kang So-young to get points through her social life, it seems that her ideal type and taste have been confirmed as older.

She couldn’t even imagine that she had the closest taste.

“But there’s no such thing as Jisoo-noona, so you don’t have to worry about that part.”

“Chi, but it’s not completely mine yet…” . I can’t help but be concerned.”

Sujeongi’s candid confession follows.

I don’t express it well, but as expected Sujeongi is anxious.

At that time, a few strands of black hair on Sujeongi’s head caught her eyes, and she reached out and pulled them off.

In the meantime, the crystal dug in and clung to her side as if she had waited. But soon, her brow furrowed.

“Ugh, I can smell that person from earlier.”

At Sujeongi’s words, he raised her arm and sniffed her, but she couldn’t smell it.

“I don’t smell anything.”

“You won’t feel it, but does it fly weakly? Phew, I need to refill it with my scent. I was worried, so I purposely filled it up earlier.”

And while doing so, Soo-jung rubbed her face and body just like in the guild.

I finally realized the meaning of Sujeongi’s actions.

I feel sorry for him to show signs of obsession that are worse than I expected.

Since this happened, I decided to make a quick decision.

If you really like this person, I don’t think there’s anything to put off any longer.

I also came up with a good reason to wait, so I made up my mind to say it right away.

“Still, did I do something wrong today? Anyway, I secretly followed you and suspected you.”

Sujeongi flinched at those words, then pushed his face out from inside his arms and nodded reluctantly.

“Then you have to be punished. This time Sujeongi will grant my wish.”

Sujeong-i gives a suspicious look when asked to grant her wish. And she asked

“Wish? What is it?”

“You must listen to this.”

Sujeongi, who was slightly worried, nodded her head and said.

“I’ll do anything other than banning Wonwoo. I can never give up on that part because it takes away the joy of life.”

I was momentarily taken aback by Sujeongi’s sincere warning, then continued.

“Huh? No. Not like that. So what if….”

I don’t know what it is that makes my heart tremble so much.

But she soon made up her mind, grabbed Sujeong by both of her shoulders, removed her, and looked into her red eyes, she said.

“Let’s go on a date on our day off.”

She came to her silence for a moment, and she was still in a daze at the words.

“Bar… It’s a foul! She said it was a bee, so she was very worried, but suddenly she asked her out. You were really surprised!”

“So you don’t want to go?”

I was relieved by Sujeongi’s fierce reaction. And she wanted to tease me for some reason, so she asked Sujeong again.

Sujeongi denied it, shaking her head from side to side.

“You know that can’t happen! Knowing how long she waited for Wonwoo to ask him out first! Bad!”

Soo-jung throws a punch that contains her resentment. But as she entered the pit of the stomach like an S-class hunter, she flinched at the slight pain.

“So where are the dates going?”

Soo-jung looks at her with eyes full of expectations. As she ran her hand over her stomach, she said that as she took out the two pink tickets she had received from her sister-in-law earlier, she said.

“Jisoo-noona told me earlier, and she said that a place where cherry blossoms bloom all year round was recently built.”

“Ah! I also remember what Secretary Kang said at first glance. “

She clapped her hands as if she remembered Soo-jeong too, she said.

“They said that the place has not been fully opened yet, and that it is only being operated as a test run for a small number of people.”

“Oh, I see. Then, did he give you this ticket as well?”

“Yes. She gave me two copies while recommending me to go with Sujeong.”

At those words, Sujeongi asked with a slightly suspicious expression.

“What, then did he ask you to go on a date?”

She said while stroking Sujeongi’s silver hair as if to appease her words.

“It could be. I am a person who is just as stubborn as Sujeong. It is my will.”

“… That’s right. There is absolutely no one who will tell you to do it.”

Sujeongi’s hardened face quickly loosened as if she understood it.

“Are you going with me anyway?”

“Chit, I already told you earlier. You know everything, but ask again. My answer is real really. Very. Great!”

She put on a calm expression, but when she saw Sujeong who said she liked it, she spontaneously smiled.

Then she put her hand in her pocket and kept fiddling with her ring, thinking about her future plans.

“Whew….”

From noble mtl dot com

Han Yoo-ra pulled up on her bed and held her own lap, letting out a deep sigh.

It’s been quite a while since the A-class dungeon raid was over, but in her heart, Lee Won-woo’s words and actions just before they parted ways continued to linger in her head as if time had stopped at that moment.

‘Why didn’t I know…. Why was she so stupid that she didn’t know?’

She couldn’t even remember how she got home. She was half-conscious at the pain she was experiencing for the first time.

After being abandoned by her parents in her childhood, she experiences loss for the first time. But it was a different feeling.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to feel this kind of emotion for the rest of my life….

But she couldn’t stand the pain that clearly penetrated her chest.

It kept popping up in her head even though she didn’t want to think about it. When she visited Lee Won-woo’s house, she heard Lee Won-woo’s perfect farewell declaration.

I’d rather be angry and swear at you, I’d be able to resent you a little.

A sense of shame only grew at the neat separation without even that.

“It’s black….”

Even though she cried like that, tears flowed again unnoticed.

At the time, I didn’t understand it, or I forcibly turned away and selfishly lived through the wall of my heart, and it flowed over and kept knocking on my heart.

In fact, I knew everything. How rude and shameless she had been. How he used people and lived calculatingly.

And while doing so, I kept thinking of the times I spent with Lee Won-woo, who was different from myself.

Lee Won-woo, who slept in late in the morning because he was tired and woke up early, handed over an Americano saying that he had prepared his favorite side dish.

Even when things didn’t go well in the dungeon or when he was angry at being ignored by a famous guild, Lee Won-woo calmly hugged and comforted him and always told him he was the best.

Lee Won-woo helps by leading the party by coordinating behind the scenes so that each other doesn’t struggle even after losing magic.

Lee Won-woo, who watched for himself who had a weak finish, always stepped forward to protect him.

I don’t know why I hated and disliked these images at the time. Even ignoring his abilities. Why didn’t he realize it then?

Unlike himself, he was someone who loved without calculation. He cut himself off like that.

Then Choi Su-jeong’s words come to mind.

That he abandoned it for his self-satisfaction and vanity. It was a very painful word, but it was not wrong at all.

“Wonwoo Lee….”

I miss you.

Even if you are hated and hear unpleasant things.

I know it’s greedy, but if I could hold him in his arms, even for a moment, I’d be fine.

I want to be forgiven somehow. I want to apologize for my mistakes.

I want to be by Lee Won-woo’s side who is shining.

Ding.

The sound of a cell phone ringing then.

Han Yoo-ra wiped away the tears that flowed down her hands and opened her phone.

The sender was Kim Ji-soo. When he was a rookie hunter, he was the one who was helped along with Lee Won-woo.

Since before, he seemed to be getting along well with Lee Won-woo, so he didn’t like it, so it was moderately inconsiderate.

A person who had not been contacted for a while even after becoming S-class suddenly contacted me.

“What happened….”

Han Yu-ra wasn’t in the mood to check the message she sent, but she wondered why she sent it.

She saw a long message in front of her eyes and something like a mobile coupon at the end.

Yura Han began to read slowly.

[Hello, how are you? From your point of view, I won’t think of you as friendly enough to talk for a long time, so I’ll start with the main topic.]

Han Yoo-ra continued reading, thinking that it was still the same.

[I met Wonwoo recently. And I heard everything from how they broke up to what happened recently. So, from here on out, it might be my go-to. Yura: Unexpectedly, I thought you still had a heart. I listened to Wonwoo about his last actions recently.]

“You are sharp, this sister is still.”

Although he seemed to have an easy-going personality, he was quick-witted and was good at grasping people’s intentions and psychology. So it made her even more uncomfortable.

Because I felt like Kim Ji-soo always sees right through me.

[That’s why I’m sending you this ticket because I want to give you one last chance. Wonwoo said he would confess to Hunter Choi Soo-jung that day. I’ll just watch it or try to talk about it again somehow. I’ll leave the judgment up to you. No matter what you think of me, no matter what anyone says to me, together with Wonwoo, I am a younger brother who cherishes both of them. I hope you choose well.]

That’s the end of the message.

I already expected it. It was because he felt desperately inside the dungeon that Lee Won-woo’s heart was completely directed toward Choi Soo-jung.

“By the way, this person is also very funny….”

Even though Han Yu-ra thought badly of Kim Ji-soo and cursed at her, she felt that she was more humbled by Kim Ji-soo’s heart that gave for her.

It seems that only he is narrow-minded and lives a selfish life.

And I saw the mobile ticket at the end of the message.

The name written against the background of the cherry tree illustration catches the eye.

[Cherry Blossoms World]

“What can I do….”

Han Yoo-ra was deeply troubled by Lee Won-woo’s confession story, which would have been better if he did not know.
