Chapter 71: Pampered
The raid if it can even be called one continued for 5 more hours before Haru and Jin-woo finished the two Monster-infested regions. After which Jin-woo went to Romania to finish the gate that was remaining and cleared the gate in 2 hours then cleared the last S-rank gate the next day in Venice.
The internet was lively as always with the netizens discussing about Haru and Jin-woo.
-Hunter Sung is for sure a National Rank hunter.
-For sure that guy is built differently for sure. To clear multiple S-rank gates alone and he has his unique abilities as well.
-Yeah those summons are just cheating.
-Man, I feel like National Rank isn't a correct rank for Hunter Haru.
-I feel the same; he is already way too powerful for that as he killed a Kamish level monster alone and a monster that can play with National rank hunter Thrice.
-Although the level of the past two monsters haven't been confirmed. From the footage that was broadcasted, you can see that they aren't something National ranks can face.
-Haru-sama is the best after all.
-Hmm, What rank do you guys think will be suitable for Hunter Haru?
-I mean there hasn't been a case where a hunter stronger than National rank hunter has appeared and one that is this strong at that, so it is difficult to Rank him with our normal power ranking. -World Rank Maybe?
-There is no ranking like that right?
-Yes there isn't but that doesn't mean it can't be created how about we bombard the International Hunter Association and UN with this request if there are enough people behind it they will listen for sure.
-Council of Men Approves*.
-Comrade intensifies*.
And the nightmare of the International Hunter Association and UN's employees began.
...
"Thank you for helping us clear the gate and monster Infested Region. We are very grateful for your help." The president of the African Hunter association said as he bowed his head to Haru.
"It was a deal, there is no need to feel grateful. I am getting paid for this so I'll do my job." Haru said with a smile.
"Thank you, then I won't hold you for long. We will send the detailed calculations after everything has been accounted out." The old man said with a smile and he looked like a huge burden has been lifted off his shoulders.
"FUFU, don't you look relieved grandpa, there is still work to do." Asma who was sitting beside Haru said.
"I know, I know." The old man said with a wry smile.
"And Haru are you sure you don't want to ask for anything other than what has been agreed on. You can ask for A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G you know." Asma said while emphasizing anything with seductive eyes.
'Ask for me, I am such a naughty girl. KYAAAAAAA.' Asma was squealing in her head as she wished Haru would take her.
And Queresha looked at her and shook her head.
The old man was a bit stunned when he saw his granddaughter act like that.
'It is good that you are starting to look at the opposite gender but....'
"No, I will take what was agreed upon and nothing else," Haru said with a smile.
"Ok, then it is your loss anyway," Asma said as she pouted.
'...As I thought, it's a pity.' The old man shook his head then looked at Haru again.
"Then I will excuse myself I have to go back home," Haru said as he stood up.
"I won't delay you any longer than. And once again thank you." The old man said.
Haru waved it off and looked at Asma who was still pouting.
"Then I will be off. Thank you for taking care of me while I was here." Haru said as he patted Asma on her head and walked out of the door.
Asma didn't know what to do her mind was blank at the moment as her face so red that even her tanned skin wasn't able to hide it.
"SIGH* Even though you act like that you don't have much experience in this area." The old man said with a knowing smile and his words caused Asma to break out of her daze and sadness took over her expression.
"Grandpa, do I not look attractive enough." She said in a small voice.
"Kid, it isn't about being attractive or not. The problem is the one you are trying to go after already has someone." The old man said as he shook his head and tried to soothe his heartbroken granddaughter.
"But he has more than one lover right, so what is the problem?" Asma asked.
"Just because he has more lovers doesn't mean he will just sleep with every beautiful woman he sees. Well don't dwell on this, these things are always complicated. Go back home your mother called for you because you haven't gone back home for a long time and with the monster-infested regions cleared you should take a rest for some time, leave the rest to me." The old man said as he stood up and patted Asma's back.
She nodded and went back home in a gloomy mood.
"... It will take time but she will get over it. I guess first love is always troublesome." The old man said with a soft smile as he sat down on his seat and looked at the work that was left undone.
"Sigh* so much work." The old man said as he checked the email he received in his inbox.
'International Hunter Association?' the old man was a bit confused but when he opened the email he was stunned.
".....A-are y-you serious?" he was shocked as he read the email and sent his answer.
"...The International Guild Conference is sure going to be eventful." The old man muttered as he shook his head and continued his work.
......
"Welcome back." When Haru stepped into the house he was greeted with the sight of Jin-ah and Hae-in welcoming him Kanae was standing a bit behind them.
"W-Welcome back," Kanae said as she looked away.
"I missed you both," Haru said with a smile and hugged both Hae-in and Jin-ah who hugged him back.
"And you as well Kanae," Haru said with a smile and Kanae nodded with a bit of blush.
"Sit down you must be tired after an expedition that big," Hae-in said as she held Haru's hand and guided him to sit on the sofa and massaged his shoulders.
Haru sat down as he said.
"Well, I am not tired you know. It wasn't really that difficult. But I won't reject being pampered."
"Don't worry about it. Just ask when you feel like it," Hae-in said with a smile.
Jin-ah was using her phone as she laid her head on Haru's Lap. And Queresha went to unpack the luggage.
"We know easily you completed the raid because we saw you on the T.V seriously that ability of yours is a cheat," Kanae said as she sat down in front of Haru.
"Well, I won't deny that," Haru said with a smile as Haki if used correctly is a cheat and the ability itself doesn't have any crazy requirement because everyone emits Haki from people to animals to plants to inanimate objects such as metal, rock, and weapons everything has Haki. It is just that the more intelligent the creature or object the more chance they have of using Haki. And Intelligence here isn't something like genius types but refers to one being able to think on their own and make decisions a basic ability living creatures have. That is also the reason that humans are the creatures that can unlock Haki more successfully than others creatures.
After some time they talked about the gates and more random topics.
"Ok, I'll go and take a bath then," Haru said and Jin-ah moved her head.
Haru stood up and went to take a bath.
Queresha came back after Haru went to take a bath. She then sat down and talked with the three about the Vixen that was trying to latch onto her Lord.
After some time Haru came back wearing a Yukata with a blue and black checker pattern. With his hair still wet and some water drops sliding down his fair and smooth neck.
"Where did Kanae go?" Haru asked Hae-in.
"She went to rest a little; she has been training really hard these days," Hae-in said as she smiled.
"Ok, let's go we have to train as well," Haru said as space wrapped around them and they found themselves in the training ground that they use.
"Do I really have to train?" Jin-ah said lazily causing everyone to laugh.
"If you train properly I give you a gift, How about it?" Haru said to Jin-ah with a smile.
"What? Really what is it?" Jin-ah asked energetically like her laziness was just an illusion.
"It will be no fun if I tell you right," Haru said as he winked.
"Mou, Well I'll wait for it then," Jin-ah said as she pouted.
"Well, then all three of you attack me," Haru said with a smile.
The Three of them looked at each other and nodded.
