I Want To Live A Normal Life, But I’m An SSS-Class Hunter

▶ Episode 30. kidnapping (4)

– Do you want to eat tteokbokki? It’s on me today! 

My best friend, who often smiled brightly and held my hand every time I had shaking eyes.

“Are you okay?”

 “…Yes. I’m just sleeping, I’m healthy.”

“Is it your sleep magic?” 

“No. I only used my sleep magic on five people above. I guess this is someone else’s sleep skill. It is not harmful to the body.”

I let out a long sigh of relief.

After hurriedly checking Baek Youngsoon’s parents again, I also checked the handcuffs and shackles with detection magic. 

“There is a motion-restraining spell and a sleep spell. Can I take this off?”

“Don’t destroy it. Because we have to use it as evidence.”

“Yes.” 

I used magic to take them off and give them to my Dad. Then I held Baek Youngsoon’s hand again. 

It was warm.

Warmth

It means alive.

A hot emotion surged up in my throat at the moment, but I barely held it in.

The twins who followed me looked like they understood my feelings.

One whispered softly.

“Hunter Lee Heesun, can you take your hand off for a moment?”

“Ah, yes.” 

The healer, Yoon Seokae, carefully checked Baek Youngsoon and her parents, and when she was done, she nodded her head with a face like mine.

“They’ll wake up in about five hours. Should I wake them up, Minister?”

“No. There are corpses around right now, so you better not wake them up. Let’s wait until we reach the Department of Ability.” 

“Yes.” 

Cherokee said, frowning. 

“(That’s weird. This hunter, he’s A Class, right?”) 

“That’s right. She’s A Class.” 

Dad answered.

“(When was she kidnapped?)”

“I guess at least 5 hours and at most 7 hours ago.”

“(Together, they sleep for a minimum of 10 hours and a maximum of 12 hours. It’s not low-grade, but A Class sleeps that long?)” 

Dad’s eyes narrowed sharply.

“It must have been an A Class skilled or an S Class Hunter.”

“(Russia has A Class hunter with the sleeping skill. But I don’t think that Hunter is the kind of person who will commit such a crime. This Hunter is probably clearing a Rwandan dungeon with Tsarina right now.).” 

“I think so, too. This must mean that a new Hunter of at least A Class has appeared.” 

“(I think so. It is highly likely to be the Russian side. The total is not really good there…I will call Tsarina to find out after she clearing the dungeon.)” 

“Yeah, please take care of it.” 

Cherokee nodded, then suddenly smiled and looked at me.

“(My Hishun Lee, is this Hunter your friend?)”

 “I’m not your Hishun Lee, and this hunter is my friend.”

“(My Hishun Lee is breaking right away! Amazing! Awesome!)”

“….” 

“(Hmm, no matter how you look at it, you don’t look like someone who just became a Hunter.)”

It pricked my conscience a little. 

“(That makes it even more attractive!)”

“….”

“(My Hishun Lee, since it was to save your friend, I won’t ask for anything in return.)”

Dad looked surprised.

“I don’t think the Minister of Defense will stay still? Even the president.”

Cherokee shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t care and grinned at me again.

“(See you again soon.)” 

I wanted to cut it off and say no, but I couldn’t do it in front of the smiling face of the person who helped me.

“(Then.)” 

Cherokee winked at me and gave me a hand kiss.

“….”

Seeing my openly disgusted expression, he laughed out loud and immediately disappeared.

“Heesun-ah, it will be difficult to be here, so if possible, go back with the movement magic first. We will go back with Hunter Yoon Boae after leading the ship to Sokcho Port with the mobile skill hunter.” 

“Shall I pull the ship?” 

“No, I’d rather not. I don’t know the limitations of your physical strength yet, so you’d better stop using magic.”

“I’m fine.”

“Even if it’s fine now, the aftereffects can come all at once later.” 

“The Minister is right. Today, it’s good to only do this much.” 

I couldn’t help but nod my head when Yoon Boae, an A-Class wizard, said this.

But I couldn’t follow them all.

“I want to stay by his side.”

I said this while holding Baek Youngsoon’s hand again. 

“Yes, do it.”

Dad nodded in understanding and stroked my hair gently.

Then Yoon Seokae opened her eyes, approached, and hit Dad’s hand away as if it were a mosquito. 

Dad and I both opened our eyes wide in surprise.

“Minister, no, Lee Beomjin! Are you crazy? How dare you to a young kid! Can’t you keep your hands?”

“…What?” 

“She’s not even 10 years old younger but she’s 20 years younger! If you’re an adult, you shouldn’t do this! Where do you seduce such a child?”

“Se…duce…?” 

Dad muttered something with a shocked look on his face. 

“Seokae-ya, how can you say that?”

“Unnie, then should we leave this behind? Even if it’s not a minister, but a president, even if it’s not an SS class hunter, but an SSS class hunter, you have to say something! Hey, Hunter Lee Heesun, that man may look cool now, but he’s actually an old man!”

“….” 

Yoon Boae clicked her tongue at her sister and then came to my side with her determined eyes.

“That’s right. Hunter Lee Heesun, Seokae may sound a little harsh, but it’s not true. Of course, there’s a personal preference, but…you can’t with such a 20 years apart. At least, not now that you’re 19.” 

“That’s right! You can’t!” 

“Uhm… Dad’s words are right. They helps new hunters and female hunters well.”

“….” 

Dad still looked shocked.

“Yesterday, Kyungae said, between reporters and hunters, Dad and I… Ugh, I almost threw up. Anyway, rumors like that spread.”

“….” 

“You had no idea?”

“I didn’t know…No wonder the eyes of some of the Department of Ability staff and reporters were strange….” 

“Anyway, I need to quickly announce that we are father and daughter. Talking about daddy’s father.” 

“Of course, it’s good for me, but… no, these rumors….”

Dad really stumbled.

I shook my head and looked at the twins.

Both of them had their eyes blinking like a traffic light right before a signal change.

Yoon Boae asked.

“Father and daughter…?” 

“Yes.”

She pointed at me with both hands.

“I am Hunter Lee Beomjin’s daughter. Real daughter.”

Then she pointed at Dad, who was still in shock.

“I am Lee Heesun’s father. Biological father.”

“….!”

The twins’ eyes were so big that they would fall over if you lightly poked the back of their heads. 

The color of their face also turned white and then bright red. 

“I, I apologize!” 

Yoon Seokae shouted as if she had smashed the ship.

‘I’m guilty of sin that deserves death!!!”

“It doesn’t deserve to die… Anyway… who…” 

In the end, Dad couldn’t overcome the shock and sit down on the chair right next to him.

“Dad, are you okay?”

“It’s not okay. It’s more shocking than when I heard rumors that you were dating Kim Changho….”

“Did you know about that rumor?”

“Yeah…I didn’t pretend to know because I didn’t even want to talk about it.” 

“Ah.”

“It’s even worse this time….” 

“I apologize!!!!”

Yoon Seokae bent her waist down to her knees. 

“No, you don’t have to. Whoo… Anyway, you were trying to help our Heesun… I’d appreciate that….”

“No… I apologize!!!!” 

Yoon Boae also bent down hard next to her younger sister.

‘I feel bad that my dad heard something like that.’

Those two twins were really worried about me.

Above all, the soul was pure.

It’s somewhat straightforward, but that’s why they’re openly saying the right thing to a Minister and SS Class Hunter. 

“Well, it’s all right. Thank you for your consideration.”

“Yes…” 

It seems that the two twins were far away and the spirit didn’t return.

Then I asked a different thing.

“I was thinking about joining the Jewel Guild, can I go on a field trip tomorrow?”

“Yes? Of course you can!!! Anytime!!!”

Only then did the twins twinkle their eyes.

Dad got up with a slightly awake look on his face.

“Let’s go back now.”

“Yes!!!”

The two twins still looked sorry but began to move with happy faces.

Dad shook his head, perhaps to get rid of the shock, but then he smiled at me.

I also smiled and hugged Dad lightly, and let go.

“Cheer up, Dad.”

“…Yeah.” 

I sat next to Baek Youngsoon while watching Dad, and the twins move.  

Holding hands, I watched her quietly.

***

Dad and the twin hunters were very busy until we arrived at Sokcho Port. 

Dad continued to search the inside of the ship while organizing the body and kept in touch with the Department of Ability and the World Hunters Union.

Wizard Yoon Boae led the ship to Sokcho Port very quickly and stably.

Healer Yoon Seokae took appropriate measures for those in poor condition.

All three were good.

“Have you done many of these things?”

Shortly before we arrived, I asked Yoon Seokae, who had come to check on Baek Youngsoon.

“Saving the kidnapped Hunter and Hunter’s family?”

“Yes.”

“This is the first time I participated in the Hunter kidnapping case. Because something like this usually doesn’t happen. But I was only used a few times in normal criminal cases.”

“Normal criminal cases?” 

“Yes. Because when you get stabbed, you need to heal.”

“I see. Then…” 

I hesitated a little and said.

“You must have saved a lot of people.”

Yoon Seokae smiled as if it was a cute question.

“Yes. I really saved a lot. Heal can’t cure disease, but I can heal physical wounds. Did you ever want to be a healer?”

“…No. I never thought to be a healer.” 

Everyone will think I know how to use recovery magic.

But I had never actually used it.

Because it was a resurrection spell that I used on Dad. 

‘I think I can use recovery spells, too.’

I didn’t know I could, so I didn’t even think about becoming a healer.

“You got accepted to medical school, do you want to be a doctor?”

“Yes.”

Even though I never wanted to, I killed a lot of people in my previous life.

Of course, what is already in the past can’t be helped.

However.
