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

37 – She tries to prepare in advance

As a way for women to usually send a request, there was a saying that was popular a long time ago, ‘Do you want to eat ramen?’.

But it’s an old style, and these days, it’s the latest version, and I remember seeing it on the Internet saying, ‘Would you like to go see the cat at my house?’

I remember picking and laughing while listening to it, but actually hearing this made me feel strange.

But for now, I pretended not to know and asked Sujeong.

“Did you have a cat? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

To those words, Sujeongi replied with a shameless face.

“Yes, I have a very cute and lovely white cat. It’s a cat that has a lot of charm and likes skinship.”

“That… they say?”

I wanted to ask, ‘Isn’t it more of a fox than a cat?’, But I put up with it and thought about it.

Now that she has become a lover in earnest, the mind that she might not go away and the mind that it is right to go as if she waited as soon as they dated collide.

However, this worry was very short unlike the previous ones.

“I’m curious because you said that. It’s not too late, so let’s go.”

“Whoops, if you go and see it, you won’t regret it.”

Modifications are positively welcomed. Although she has already penetrated that black heart, she is already ready to accept it as if she does not know.

If there were people who had been watching me, it would have been very frustrating, but today I am different.

It’s not that I didn’t mind that young, pretty, and good-looking women kept flirting with me.

I wanted to truly love Sujeong as she is, not just the exterior.

Of course, in the aftermath of that, I’m afraid that I’ll try to break the seals that I’ve accumulated so far, all at once.

“I’m here to pick you up, young lady.”

She was so happy that when she reached the limousine, an unexpected guest got out of it.

Kang So-young is wearing a neatly organized suit as usual.

Seeing that figure, Sujeong also frowned and asked.

“What is Secretary Kang doing here?”

“I came here because I have something urgent to report to you.”

“Does this have to be done right now?”

“Yes, I know it was a hindrance, but I couldn’t help it.”

Meanwhile, Kang So-yeong looked at the ring Sujeong-i was wearing on her hand, then slightly turned her gaze to her.

“Wonwoo, what should I do? I think we should go today.”

At that time, I heard Sujeongi’s voice full of regret. I had the same mindset, but wishing for more than this was greedy, so I had no choice but to give up easily.

“It’s okay, we can go play next time.”

“My lady, you must leave now.”

At that time, Kang So-young urged from the side.

I don’t feel very good because I feel like I’m separating something, but considering that the Lee Ji-hoon incident happened last time, I’m not a bad person enough to make up things that don’t exist.

“What will Wonwoo do?”

To Sujeongi’s question, Kang So-young says as if she’s already prepared.

“We have arranged another car in advance. I will be back soon.”

“Okay. Wonwoo, I think I should go first.”

When Sujeongie said this with an apologetic face, she waved her hand and denied it.

“Ah, go ahead of that. I guess this is an urgent matter.”

“Yes, I understand. If it’s not too late after it’s over, I’ll contact you.”

After saying that, Sujeongi and Kang Soyoung get into the limousine. As she got on, she felt that Kang So-yeong’s eyes, looking at me again, had become sharper.

Then the limousine departed and I was left alone in the parking lot. She feels strangely empty and awkward as she is suddenly alone.

Things that happened today feel like a dream. In particular, the soft touch that still remains on the lips remains in my memory.

Her heart beats just thinking about that moment.

“Ha…. This is serious for me too.”

We just broke up, but I already miss Sujeong.

“… So what is it?”

As she looked out of the running car, Choi Soo-jung, who had calmly calmed down unlike before, asked Kang So-young.

“One of the shadows placed on the head of the Association, Ma Dong-sik, was killed. And it is said that the president of the association also suffered minor injuries.”

At those words, Sujeong Choi’s face twisted.

As a condition for permitting the establishment of a guild, the last thing the president requested was the arrangement of personnel to protect himself.

It was an incomprehensible request because there were already hired hunters in the Hunter Association, but it could also serve as surveillance, so the head of the association immediately attached an agent the day he visited the guild.

“Are you already being threatened by someone?”

“I think it probably was.”

“Looking at the circumstances, the culprit was probably one of the people inside the association, as they asked us to assign personnel.”

The president of the association, Ma Dong-sik, had already noticed such a strange feeling in advance and made the request. Contrary to what he looks like, he’s a clever old man like a raccoon.

“So, is there any other information?”

Choi Soo-jung turned her head to look at Kang So-yeong and asked.

“After being blocked with one attempt without wasting time, it is said that they immediately ran away and there was no trace. There is no information other than that he used a dagger containing the energy of lightning.”

Hearing Kang So-yeong’s story, Soo-jeong Choi touched her forehead and sighed before asking again.

“Looks like a headache. No information about us being exposed or anything like that?”

“Yes, the shadow that was with us quickly pulled out and left no traces on our side either. Our existence must have been imprinted on those who attempted the assassination.”

“That must have been what Ma Dong-sik was aiming for. Let’s keep each other in check while keeping us aware of them.”

Choi Soo-jung felt disgusted with Ma Dong-sik, who had a really good haircut in this part.

And after thinking about it for a while, she looked at Kang So-yeong and said,

“For now, place more bodyguards than last time. However, don’t try to keep it to the point of overdoing it. I can’t stand my kids getting hurt or dying because of that guy. For more details, go to the guild and talk.”

“Okay.”

After finishing her words, Choi Soo-jung looked outside again. Her feeling of floating in the sky as if she had just been flying fell to the bottom in an instant.

The only thing that comforted her was the ring on her still awkward ring finger.

Then her concern grew. As he recalled the recent trip to the dungeon, Lee Won-woo, who would go out of his way to attack himself if it was for his own sake.

Not only the enemy you are facing now, but also the target of revenge, the Starlight Guild, will happen one day.

At that time, I wasn’t sure if Lee Won-woo would be able to hold on and survive.

Of course, unless it’s a special situation like before, he won’t be easily defeated, but regardless of that, Lee Won-woo is a person who will always run for himself.

Lee Won-woo didn’t tell me about this ring he was wearing, but he had already heard about it through the information he obtained about the ‘regeneration ring’.

Only the level is legendary, but at this level, it is comparable to a mythic level item. I was literally handed over my life.

There’s no way he doesn’t know that confessing it and putting it in his hand means that he prioritizes Lee Won-woo’s own life.

But it was the same for Soo-jeong Choi.

If Lee Won-woo dies by any chance, he will not be alive even if he is alive. Because the only lingering attachment to this world is Lee Won-woo.

“After….”

“Do you have any other concerns?”

Choi Soo-jung let out a light sigh, and Kang So-yeong asked next to her. At those words, Soo-jung Choi secretly looked at So-young Kang and wondered whether to speak or not, and she said.

“I decided to go out with Wonwoo starting today.”

“Yes, I noticed it when I saw the ring. Congratulations.”

Kang So-yeong speaks in a businesslike manner, even though she speaks congratulations. But Choi Soo-jung didn’t particularly care. She’s not a person who doesn’t express much emotion.

“But I’m worried that Wonwoo-nim will endure well in the future.”

Kang So-young’s eyebrows twitched and moved differently than usual, then she returned to her place. She then looked at Soo-jung Choi and said,

“If it is weak, why not make it stronger?”

“Everyone makes such an obvious story. But I do know that not everyone has been given something like I did.”

“Okay. I felt that Wonwoo had decent talent.”

“… For example?”

Seeing Kang So-young praising someone for the first time other than herself, Soo-jung Choi asked with curiosity.

Because she knows well the style of Kang So-yeong, who is also her mentor, there is no way she will ever say anything she doesn’t like.

“It’s not a big deal, but his mana sensing ability is at a very high level to be called simply excellent. It’s already reached the level right before you sense my hidden magic power.”

At that, Sujeong Choi asked again with a surprised face.

“Nonsense. Unless Soyoung unnie’s magical power is revealed first, the number of people who seek it can be counted on one hand in the world, right?”

I was embarrassed to call Choi Soo-jeong by the title I was used to before the guild was established.

On the other hand, Kang So-yeong calmly continued.

“But it is true. And recently, I met only one person like Wonwoo.”

Choi Su-jeong also recalled her right from her head. He is different from Lee Won-woo in all aspects, starting with his personality, but the man who pointed out Kang So-young, who was hiding to escort Choi Soo-jung.

“Hero Guild Kang Hyeon-seok. Are you talking about that uncle?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

Kang So-yeong’s affirmation reminded her of her saying that she wanted to pass on her own skills. She even said that according to Kang Hyeon-seok, he was a similar type to herself.

“Well, I still feel very anxious.”

When I see Kang Hyeon-seok, who is crazy about fighting, I can’t help but doubt whether it’s really true. He thinks he’s good at teaching, but he’s afraid he’ll learn oddities.

“Overprotection is rather poison. Shouldn’t you trust him more as much as he loves you? I will want that too.”

Choi Su-jeong pondered over Kang So-yeong’s advice, but she nodded her head.

“That’s right. I have to go ahead and learn.”

“Good idea.”

“Call me. I’ll have to deal with it while I remember.”

Without saying a word, Kang So-yeong took out her black cell phone and called her, and she handed it to Choi Soo-jung.

Without a few beeps, the other party picked up the phone.

[No, best student. What’s going on give me another call Has the item warehouse been robbed again?]

Choi Soo-jeong sighed inside her and asked Hyun-seok Kang, who joked lightly today despite his size.

“Sorry for calling you late. I have a favor to ask of you.”

[Is there anything to be sorry for asking between us? I just need to do a sparring or two.]

Still consistently crazy about fighting. However, it didn’t look bad at the thought that it could be used as a bargaining chip now.

“I’ll think about that part. More than that, the skill transfer I talked about earlier. Were you serious?”

[Ah, to that young man? Seriously. However, as I said before, as our guild goes to self-reflection, we are busy educating students, so there is no time to go and teach them.]

“What if we visit?”

Kang Hyeon-seok became quiet for a while at those words. Asked after a while.

[Is there anything urgent that makes you so impatient?]

“Yes. Just because it looks like something could happen.”

[Hearing that from the mouth of the best teacher is very unpleasant.]

He looked like he was thinking about it, but then he heard words.

[If Mr. Choi promises to fight with me, I will accept it.]

Since he had already expected it to come out like this, Soo-jeong Choi answered quickly.

“Yeah, but never like the last time. I will only do it once.”

[That’s troublesome. Then what about the 5th edition?]

“Second Edition.”

[What about the 4th edition?]

“Second Edition.”

[Jeop, then the 3rd edition. The 2nd edition is so ambiguous.]

Kang Hyeon-seok, embarrassed by Choi Soo-jeong’s resolute attitude, reluctantly suggested abbreviation.

“Okay then.”

When the answer he had been waiting for came out, Sujeong Choi quickly accepted it without any further negotiations.

[…] I guess this happened somehow. It’s not bad though Set a date and send it to us.]

“Yes, I understand. Then.”

After ending the call like that, I handed the phone to Kang So-young again. And she asked

“Isn’t that a good choice?”

“Of course. It will be a great help to the guild power.”

“I hope so.”

Choi Soo-jeong closed her eyes as she leaned against her back. She prayed for the day to end quickly as her tiredness crept in.
