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

65 – Pieces of truth revealed little by little

I declared surrender, but I couldn’t believe it easily, so I stood up while holding the arm of my doppelganger.

Then the doppelganger looked at me and shot at me with a nervous tone.

“Oh, it hurts. Aren’t you taught to treat women gently?”

“Dude, what gender do you have?”

In the first place, doppelgangers do not have a gender. I just follow the people who change.

However, it is absurd that she brazenly claims to be a woman.

“You are a woman now? Why do you want me to confirm it?”

It was a doppelganger who smiled briskly and lifted his white shirt slightly, exposing his stomach with a glimpse of his straight abs.

“I can’t do it properly with my body!”

Then Kang So-young shouted, blushing at her.

“Oh, this person is really boring. It’s a joke. A joke.”

Quickly pulling down her shirt, the doppelgänger said to Kang So-young with a smirk.

‘What is this crazy affinity?’

It’s embarrassing to see them melt so naturally that the fact that they risked their lives a while ago was overshadowed.

I was worried that she wouldn’t confide in me easily, but I also thought it might work out surprisingly well given the atmosphere.

“So tell me what you said earlier.”

“What did you say earlier?”

“Information about the gate!”

“Oh, that! Hmm….”

She seemed to be thinking for a moment, then asked me with her serious face.

“In this world, it seems like information that is handled quite secretly. Are you okay? Can you take care of the back?”

“I’ll take care of that, so just tell me. Instead, if it looks like a lie even a little bit, or if you try to run away, it will become boring.”

I bluffed ahead of time because I was afraid they would talk nonsense.

Then the doppelganger raised both of his hands to his shoulders, making it clear that he had no intention of rebelling.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I don’t even think I’ll be able to shake off you, who has such a sensitive sense as a pervert, and run away. I don’t want to fight ignorantly either.”

“I’ll try to believe that for now.”

At that time, Kang So-young looked at me and said.

“First of all, it seems that this place has been sorted out to some extent, so I will go and report the situation to the lady. Wonwoo-nim should directly pass on the information obtained through the doppelganger.”

“Oh, yes. By the way, since you are injured, would it be okay if I go alone?”

“Yes, I am used to this kind of injury. After resting for a while, I felt better.”

Kang So-young, who had been staggering until just now, moved by grabbing hold of her body.

She still looked tough, but even if she stopped, she was the kind of person who would force herself to do her part, so I decided to let her go.

She

She didn’t seem to be in any danger on the way.

“Wonwoo.”

Kang So-yeong, who was walking like that, stopped for a moment and turned her head slightly before she called out to me.

“Yes?”

“More than I thought, you learned a lot about me while training together. I saw a lot of signs of trouble in the battle just now.”

“That… Secretary Kang is helping me directly, but I can’t do it roughly, and it hurts my pride to lose when I’m in an advantageous situation….”

Scratching her head, she expressed her honest feelings.

After the hellish day of training, I always tried to understand Kang So-young’s movements and small habits while reviewing the situation in my head.

The result came out properly during the battle with the doppelganger a while ago.

In the eyes of others, it may not look much different, but compared to the real thing, it looks clumsy to me and I can clearly see its movements.

“Whoops….”

Kang So-young smiled softly. Even when she was training, she showed me a satisfied, yet proud smile.

“I didn’t do anything special to be called a teacher, but since you said that earlier, it was really great to evaluate. Unlike me, who barely went and lost, she overpowered me easily.”

“Ah, that is unavoidable….”

“No, losing is losing. In the world we live in, defeat is death.”

She tried to tell her doppelgänger about the unavoidable situation, but Kang So-young stubbornly refused to take such consideration.

She was at a loss as to what to say, but Soyoung Kang turned her head forward again and said,

“With the excuse of taking care of the guild’s work, I think I loosened up and was satisfied with my current skills. Thanks to you, I was very motivated today. Thank you.”

Kang So-young leaves her words and leaves again. From her back, I could feel an unknown, resolute will.

“I think I was completely ignored? To that nojam woman?”

“Noisy, repeat what you were about to say.”

When the doppelgänger next to her grumbled with a sad expression, she immediately stopped her and urged her to get to the point.

“You say you’ve lost, so you don’t have the right to say that. Yes, what What are you so curious about?”

“What is a gate?”

I started with the most fundamental question. Although we decided on the name Gate, there is not much information we actually know.

“This is the gate. We call it the Dimensional Gate. For now, I’ll call it the familiar expression Gate.”

“Our side?”

I asked if the monsters had some kind of power. However, the answer came back completely different from what was expected.

“Yes, there is a world different from this one. Should I say that it is a place that is similar to, but subtly different from, the world that appears in fantasy movies or novels written with the imagination of the people who live here? Well, roughly think of it as a fantasy world.”

It was completely unexpected and shocking information. There is a world of another dimension. It was very simple and content, but the meaning was very unconventional.

As I said, it means that various monsters did not originally exist inside the gate, but came from another dimension to the dimension we live in so far.

There is a theory among scholars who specialize in gates and dungeons, saying that there are a lot of gates, but the number is limited.

In other words, their claim was that no matter how many monsters there were, the gate would no longer open once they had been defeated.

However, if the doppelganger’s words are true, it is a completely wrong theory.

“It feels like we started with a big hit from the beginning.”

“I told you, there are so many things humans here don’t know, hahahaha.”

It feels like my head is getting dizzy at the sight of a doppelganger smiling brightly and casually.

“So, in the case of gates, if monsters from your dimension come over to where we live, then what is a dungeon?”

“In the case of a dungeon, should I say that it is a world suddenly created in the middle? Think of it as an instant dimension that is suddenly created.”

“Really? Then why do monsters want to come to where we live?”

“I don’t know that part. It’s because I can’t communicate with them in the first place.”

“Come to think of it, you were like that earlier. He said he was different from the kids coming out of the gate.”

I remembered what my doppelganger said right before we started fighting in earnest.

“Yes, my case is a bit unusual, but I am in the position of being called by a human from this dimension.”

“… Someone here called you? How?”

“What is it? You opened the gate.”

It was a series of shocking stories. It’s strange that the humans living here summoned their doppelganger, but they even opened the gate.

In the first place, the most surprising thing was that the gate was a type that humans could open and close at will.

“Who is that person? And how did you open it?”

“Okay. I don’t know that either? When I came through the gate and arrived here, he was already dead. I think that was already about two years ago.”

“So you’ve been living here for two years?”

At my question, the doppelganger shook his head.

“No, I was bound right after a while, and I was kept locked up in an unknown place.”

“Two years?”

“Uh, almost two years. A group of people wearing masks came and released them last week or so, all of a sudden. At first, I tried to rebel, but I was beaten badly.”

A doppelganger frowns as he recalls that moment. It feels similar to the expression Kang So-yeong makes when she is in a bad mood.

“Later, a man with a masked voice came and told me to go here. You can do whatever you want here.”

“This place?”

“Yes. So, I met that nasty girl earlier, and after that, I met you unluckily, and now it’s like this.”

If there is no lie in what the doppelganger said, it was that someone was targeting us.

If you want to harbor ill will toward us, there are too many places to think of such a thing in the hunter world, so it’s not particularly specific in my head.

I am suspicious of the Holy Gwang Guild at least because of the recent incidents, but that is also just a suspicion.

“Oh, that’s right. Why is the gate opening here? You said it like you knew something.”

“Ah, should I say that was intentionally drawn to attention? It must have been created arbitrarily by one of the beings with a lot of magical power in our dimension. I don’t know exactly.”

A doppelganger who speaks with a shy expression. But there is an interesting part, so I asked again.

“When you say existence, do you mean non-human monsters?”

“Okay. It’s a bit like tying them together as monsters. Because they are the closest beings to gods with overwhelming power. I think you can just think that there are quite a few guys who can’t be touched like the devil.”

“Then why does that being open the gate and keep sending monsters at us?”

“As I said earlier, that’s what I don’t know. I was suddenly dragged out without knowing why, but what?”

I got a lot of information, but in the end, I couldn’t properly know the core information, so I was very disappointed.

“It’s a bit disappointing at this rate….”

“Oh, wait a minute!”

Tapping my forehead and talking to myself, the doppelgänger pondered to think of something that seemed like a threat.

“Oh, right! The person wearing the mask then… “

Bang.

At that time, as if I had remembered something, I was concentrating on my doppelganger, who was urgently explaining, when suddenly a loud gunshot rang out from somewhere nearby.

And the target of the fired bullet was the head of the doppelganger in front of me.

Took.

There was no bleeding or anything like that.

As if to prove that he had been pierced by a bullet, his body fell helplessly onto the sandy floor.

Even at that moment, he seemed to be trying to say something while holding my hand, but he closed his eyes without saying anything.

And the body, which naturally turned into gray dust, vanished into the air without being able to overcome the sea breeze.

“The A-rank boss monster doppelganger has been dealt with. We will move to the next target, near the generator.”

I was dazed in a sudden situation and I saw a man talking on the radio with a cigarette in his mouth behind me.
