chapter 245
245
Sung-hyun did not come out from the beginning.
I was watching how far they crossed the line.
Several fists and kicks began to hit the child’s abdomen.
It was not loaded with magical power, but the strength of an intermediate hunter was several times that of a normal adult, so it was difficult to estimate how much of that child’s pain would be.
“The next time I get caught again, I know I won’t let it go. Okay? It’s not just you.”
The men, who checked all the children’s pockets and confirmed that there was no more hidden money, headed for the next destination.
Probably for a similar purpose.
Watching for money hidden elsewhere.
The child was lying on the floor, holding on to his stomach, which felt great pain.
“Ugh…”
It was painful and painful, but it was the resentment that made the child more painful.
I didn’t hide that money, so why should I suffer?
A strange man appeared in front of such a child.
“Who, who…”
As a child who had already realized through experience that most adults were not favorable to them, there was a lot of caution in her voice as she collapsed.
“Are you sick?”
“…”
Is that what you call a word?
If you look at yourself now, wouldn’t you be able to know without asking?
Since the situation was already unfair, the child tried to answer nervously.
Until you realize that you no longer feel the pain.
“uh?”
“I was the owner of the money.”
“What, what?”
So, does that mean he did it on purpose knowing that this was going to happen?
The child’s expression began to fill with resentment, as if the resentment, which had nowhere to go, had now found its destination.
“I was the owner of that wallet.”
“What wallet…”
The resentment disappeared like snow in an instant.
That means I left it there even though I knew it was gone.
“Isn’t that the wrong thing to do?”
“…but if you don’t do this…”
Looking at the child’s face, he seemed to know that something was wrong.
However, if he did not do this, he would not be able to survive, so there would have been no option for the child.
“It’s okay to know.”
The child’s vanished resentment was directed at himself, who had to choose the wrong thing.
Seonghyeon patted the child’s head roughly and pulled the money out of his arms.
“receive.”
“Well, but if you get this…”
I think he was just watching everything he was going through, but would he still give me money?
The child’s eyes were full of worries, yet agonizing over money.
“You are not responsible.”
Sunghyun’s expression looking down at the child was infinitely warm.
Is it because Kathman and Ai look overlapping?
“Because adults are responsible.”
“Adult…”
Was the word “adult” such a trustworthy word?
Until now, the word “adult” to a child was something that took away what he had or forced him to do something he didn’t like.
“got it?”
Seonghyeon patted the child’s head again, who hesitated to answer, and left the room.
As I promised before, I had to make sure to do it.
————————-
“Ttt, these kids are out of their minds these days.”
“It’s because there are so many things in my head. Are we too loose?”
“Isn’t that what you’re doing? It seems to have gotten worse.”
“The next time we go, we’ll find out.”
The next destination was the same as this time.
A place where children who returned today’s harvest live.
“How are you doing over there today?”
“In addition?”
“Hey, this bastard is obsessed with him.”
“Hey heh, what do you plug in…”
tuk.
The feeling of being lightly hit on the shoulder.
It wasn’t a very strong bump, but it wasn’t that the strength wasn’t bad either.
Because it was so blatant that it felt completely intentional.
“ah. this.”
There wasn’t even an apology.
I’m usually sorry after those words. It was normal to say.
“Hey, is that all?”
“What do you mean?”
“Is that the end of putting my shoulder down now?”
“Since we couldn’t see each other well, isn’t it the end? I’m on my way now. I am busy.”
Words and gestures that seemed to elevate the character of a person were no different from arguing.
“…are you crazy? You can’t listen to this.”
“for a moment. wait.”
“What are you waiting for? This crazy bastard needs to break somewhere to wake up.”
“Look around. Is this place for people to pass by?”
The place where the children who visited for the first time lived was in a very remote place.
It is such a remote place that there is at least one in the city.

Moreover, this road to the next destination was not well-traveled.
“And a face that you must have seen somewhere…”
It was a familiar face.
A face that feels familiar, not just known.
“Come on, wait. Kim Seong-hyun?”
“…What? Are you Kim Seong-hyun?”
The face might be a little confusing, but the name couldn’t be confused.
“Oh, do you know me?”
There was a person who had no reason to go alone.
“Hey, aren’t you mistaken? Why is he here…”
Then there was only one conclusion.
that they were following them.
“What am I looking for?”
“Yes? Uh, what are you looking for…”
As if he had completely forgotten that his shoulder had collided, the man was showing a faint smile to Seong-hyeon with his slightly shriveled shoulders.
“I think my wallet was stolen.”
“…”
Now with this answer, I’m sure.
Seonghyeon had come after them.
The man who first noticed Seong-hyeon was busy rolling his head.
What decision should I make?
Should I run away or will I fight back?
It was known that Seong-hyeon had lower magical power compared to the top-level hunter, but that was based on the top-level hunter.
In the first place, as intermediate hunters, they did not have the qualifications themselves to decide whether to run or fight rather than fight.
‘must. We must cooperate unconditionally.’
Fortunately, even his stupid colleagues seemed to know this very well.
“ha ha ha. That’s right? We will find you!”
“I’ll find you…”
But what touched the heart of this top hunter? Even though he clearly showed his will to cooperate, the top-level Hunter in front of him did not easily erase his discomfort.
“Take it, and I will find it. Who do you know as an asshole?”
“…”
For a moment, the surroundings froze.
Cold sweat was dripping into my eyes and it was stinging.
“Guide me.”
“Uh, where…”
“guide. sun.”
“Yes, yes. All right.”
There was no point in wasting any more time.
It was cold enough to feel a bit distant from the fact that he did not receive much compensation from the United States or that he was a hunter who healed many people.
After the conversation with Seong-hyeon was over, their destination changed to the place where they started.
Arrived without any hindrance.
We arrived at the place where the child had shoved Seonghyeon’s wallet into a small gap under the door.
“I, I…”
“no. done. Just follow me.”
I tried to let you know that I had returned first, but Sung-hyun did not let it go.
‘I’ll try to buy you time to run away.’
It was clear that he would buy time by saying things he would not normally say, such as saying that he was here or telling him to open the door.
When Seong-hyun arrived at the door, a mysterious voice was heard from inside.
“Who is it?”
“Kim Seong-hyun.”
“What? who? Kim Seong-hyun?”
It’s a name you might not know, but the chance of the man outside the door being Kim Seong-hyun was almost zero, so the man laughed as if it was funny.
“Kah ha ha! This crazy guy still exists. go back. It’s fun, so let’s take a look.”
It was blocked by the door, so the man inside the door couldn’t properly check the expressions of his colleagues outside the door.
He chewed his lower lip and asked him not to provoke him.
But, it was too late.
“If you find out again, will you kill me then?”
A huge burst of sound followed.
“What, what!”
The completely smashed door and the face of the man seen faintly in the halo.
“Kim…Seonghyun?”
As a gatekeeper, all he did was look around the internet, so there was no way he could not recognize his face.
The main character who comes out with several articles a day.
“I came to find my wallet.”
“Gee, it’s a wallet…”
Could it be that young children picked up Kim’s wallet?
They looked at them as children and moved on, but for some reason they seemed to have noticed the base.
‘…it was.’
If it was a wallet suitable for a giant named Seong-Hyun Kim, it would have been the wallet that was before today, or the most recent number check.
However, most of the wallets with such a large amount were directed to the main store rather than the branch.
‘Even if this sucks, it’s solid.’
It seems that if you return the wallet, it will go back, but since the location of the wallet is the location of the main store, I could not choose at all.
“That…lost wallet…”
I was about to say something in order to buy some time to think, but my colleagues behind me were waving their hands and clamoring silently as if they couldn’t do it.
“Guide me.”
“I, I don’t know. What the wallet looked like in the first place…”
Soon, a sword with a black chain came out of Seonghyeon’s arms.
Then, with the sword pointed at the necks of his colleagues behind him, he spoke again.
“guide. sun.”
“I really am! If you give me a little time…”
I wish I could even wield that sword.
The top hunter in front of me was a hunter who healed people.
“Big…”
As if to ridicule such a thought, Sunghyun swung his sword without hesitation.
Red blood that fell on the floor and an arm that I don’t know who’s it belongs to.
“Next is the neck.”
It wasn’t a lie.
It was clear that every time he evaded an answer to a question, he would cost the lives of all of his colleagues.
If he didn’t answer, that sword would be the last to take his life.
‘…I’ll be behind anyway. Let’s go back a little late.’
“Here’s the map…”
A map straight out of my arms.
Seonghyeon’s expression looking at himself like that was as if he was looking at the puppy showing his aegyo with a strange look.
“It’s wise.”
Soon, Sung-hyun healed the man’s arm that he had cut off.
as if it were purple.
It seems that he is not something you can surpass.
“Next time, look at people and do it. Okay?”
“Oh, yes! I will keep that in mind!”
Why doesn’t Sung-hyun take care of them?
I was curious for a while, but the answer was very simple.
‘It’s not even worth it.’
For Seong-hyeon, they were just creatures with which they could communicate, and there was no value beyond that.
So Sung-hyun left the seat, and the remaining ones sat down in their seats.
“Heo Eok… this is the best hunter…”
“We survived because we were rather weak.”
But they didn’t know.
The reason why Sung-hyun kept them alive was also true, but there was also a reason that there were people who could replace them even if they didn’t do it themselves.
