These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

ED: Cheerycheri

“Did you just tell me to go away?”

“Your sense of hearing seems to be failing.”

“…”

In an instant, an intimidating atmosphere was created. I looked at them in panic and looked around.

Is there anyone who can stop these two…

Hm, there isn’t.

Neither Song Cha-hyun nor Song Yul had arrived yet. They would probably come after all the raid personnel made it through safely. It was good that they had such a strong sense of responsibility, but thanks to them, these two are behaving like two ferocious beasts on a prairie.

“I won’t tolerate any more rude remarks. Hunter Kang Yoo-hyun.”

“If you touch Han Yi-jin again, I won’t stand still either.”

“…”

It was then that Sung Yoo-bin realized something and looked at me in shock. I was holding the arm that she almost crushed when we made eye contact, her eyes widened when she saw me.

"

“Did I hurt you…?”

“Oh, that’s…”

I wanted to say I was okay, but my arms were twitching.

I’m sorry, Sung Yoo-bin. I can’t shield you from this.

I spoke frankly, with an awkward smile.

“Haha… It hurts a little.”

“…”

Sung Yoo-bin’s face was filled with guilt. There must always be strong people around her, so it was inevitable that she couldn’t control her strength.

However, I hope she remembers that there are weak B-class hunters like me. I hope she is careful from now on.

“I’m so sorry, Hunter Han Yi-jin.”

“You just need to be a little more careful.”

I smiled and waved my hands. My arm hurt a lot, so I relaxed my hand. Suddenly, I felt a small change occur in my body. I looked down at my body suspiciously. 

“…?”

My body, which had been drenched in seawater, making me look like a waterlogged rat, had somehow dried up. What happened? I stared at the fire floating around Sung Yoo-bin’s body with confused eyes.

Sung Yoo-bin’s ability is fire-related. Most of the Valkyrie members have a lot of fire attribute skills. It’s not an exaggeration to say that a large part of Valkyrie’s combat power comes from their enormous firepower.

However, the dungeon that the Freya guild targeted was the Sæ dungeon. As one could see at a glance, the Sæ Dungeon was located in the ocean, and all the monsters here were of the water attribute.

Anyone who has ever played PokeX will know how important the attributes are in the game. And it’s the same with modern fantasy novels that are like games. Generally speaking, targeting a water dungeon with party members who have fire attribute related abilities is basically suicide.

However, the members of the Valkyrie had cleared the Sæ dungeon countless times even with the fire attribute as their main source of strength. Of course, it wasn’t something that could be done with simple discipline and effort.

“I’ll be more careful in the future, Hunter Han Yi-jin.”

“Ah, yes.”

It was thanks to Sung Yoo-bin’s skill. She has an inversion skill that reverses attributes. It allowed her to show her true strength against monsters with the water attribute.

In addition, the skill works very well in dungeons because it also applies to the user’s party members. It’s amazing to see her power in person.

“Excuse me, Hunter Sung Yoo-bin!”

“Yes?”

Sung Yoo-bin opened her eyes wide at my aggressive shout. I stepped closer to her and asked her with sparkling eyes

“Does Hunter Sung Yoo-bin’s reversibility skill apply to items as well?”

Coincidentally, the weapon I had was of fire attribute. Of course, the Odin guild provided other weapons, but I thought it would be better to use one I was familiar with. Sung Yoo-bin looked confused by my question, then shook her head.

“This skill does not apply to items.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Still, applying the skill would affect the item’s attributes.”

“Really?”

“Yes. It’s a little less effective than if we were to use it directly, though.”

“That’s good enough.”

I nodded with a big smile. Then I asked cautiously.

“Perhaps you could apply the Reversibility Skill to me as well?”

Sung Yoo-bin’s Reverse skill is automatically applied to a system-defined number of party members. The capacity would already be full due to Valkyrie’s 1st Battalion hunters. I had no choice but to ask Sung Yoo-bin herself to get the Reverse skill.

Auxiliary skills are very important to hunters, so I don’t carelessly cast them onto others, even if we are in the same raid party. Besides, I have to be more careful since we’re not in the same guild. It’s probably the same for Sung Yoo-bin.

However, Sung Yoo-bin dispelled my worries at once and moved her head up and down happily.

“Of course, Hunter Han Yi-jin!”

Phew, thank goodness. I was a little worried because in the novel, Sung Yoo-bin was harsh with other hunters with her reverse skill. I guess she also felt a bit magnanimous since she had to receive auxiliary skills from me. Sung Yoo-bin smiled slightly at me, who was relieved. She snuck back over to me and said—

“Actually, my skill also has a special activation condition.”

“Eh? Really?”

That can’t be true. I tilted my head. Unlike my Catnip skill, I think Sung Yoo-bin’s reverse skill just needs to be applied by her? However, I frowned as I recalled the contents of the novel.

The author of this novel omitted too much information. It would be believable if there was a setting that wasn’t mentioned in the novel, so I didn’t doubt Sung Yoo-bin’s words and immediately nodded my head.

“Then what should I do?”

“Go over there with me for a moment…”

“…?”

I felt something was fishy the moment her words came out, my body was pulled back again. I turned my head and saw Kang Yoo-hyun, who was frowning at Sung Yoo-bin, still holding me and glaring at Sung Yoo-bin.

“Don’t think about doing anything stupid.”

“Anything stupid?”

I looked at them suspiciously and saw Sung Yoo-bin clicking her tongue as she retreated backwards. What the hell is this all about?

I just blinked at the incomprehensible situation, but light emerged again from the gate in the ceiling. And along with the strong current, the same boat we had ridden earlier fell into the sea.

Chwaaak!

“Hey, Sung Yoo-bin!”

“Yoo-bin unnie!”

Han Yeo-reum and Cha Min Hee jumped out of the boat. Then they ran towards us, kicking hard at the surface of the sea, just like Sung Yoo-bin did.

Wow, did all the other hunters arrive in such a cool fashion? Am I the only one who was drowning? I was utterly dejected.

“What are you doing jumping off alone? Are you crazy?”

“Unnie, are you okay? I thought you really died this time… No, I’m glad you’re okay.”

The other Valkyrie members also arrived one after another. When Song Cha-hyun and Song Yul arrived on the last boat, we were finally ready to start.

“Hunter Han Yi-jin.”

“Yes?”

Song Cha-hyun approached us. She glanced at Kang Yoo-hyun, who was sticking close to me, and then looked back at me.

“I want hunter Han Yi-jin’s auxiliary skills to be used only after we see and understand the situation because Area 1 doesn’t have strong monsters despite the abnormalities.”

“Then when…?”

“We will also make decisions based on the situation in Area 2 because it is not a long-lasting skill.”

“Ah, I understand.”

Perhaps my skill would come in handy right before the boss fight. Song Cha-hyun must have brought it up because she knows it too. It wouldn’t help much if I increased their stats against trash mobs.

The problem started with Area 3. We have to split the party into Area 3 and Area 4 and deal with the middle boss mobs respectively. In Area 3, I only need to increase their stats with my skills, focusing on the S and A-classes, but I was a little worried about Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin, who entered Area 4 alone in the novel.

Of course, in the novel, it was more dramatic and interesting to see the two struggling and fighting to the death, but this is reality. I was worried about their relationship since their relationship seems worse than it was in the novel, but I was also concerned about what would happen if they were left alone.

Therefore, I will apply my skills by secretly holding Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin’s hands before warping in the second area. Then we can easily catch the middle boss mob and meet them again.

As expected, I’m a genius. While turning my head and praising myself inwardly, my eyes met Kang Yoo-hyun’s eyes.

“…”

“What, why are you staring at me like that?”

Kang Yoo-hyun’s eyes narrowed when I flinched for no reason. His lips slowly opened.

“Three people a day.”

“…What?”

What is he talking about?

As I frowned, Kang Yoo-hyun continued to speak calmly.

“The number of people you can apply auxiliary skills to is three a day, excluding me. No more than that.”

“What?”

As I stared at him speechlessly, Song Cha-hyun also looked at Kang Yoo-hyun in confusion.

“Three people a day is a bit… I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”

“Three people excluding me. I’ll do my best to deal with unexpected situations.”

“Hmm…”

When Kang Yoo-hyun said that, Song Cha-hyun couldn’t say anything anymore.

But, hey, what about my opinion? Shouldn’t you guys listen to my opinion too?

As I tried to open my mouth with a dissatisfied expression, Kang Yoo-hyun looked down at me with a crooked smile and asked.

“Surely you don’t want to mess around with other guys, do you?”

“Other guys?”

Well, he said something that sounded inappropriate just now…

I turned my head and quickly glanced around unconsciously, but fortunately everyone was busy preparing for the raid, so they didn’t pay attention to us.

“Hey, are you crazy? Do you want to be sued?”

I refuted in a small voice, who said something inappropriate that could cause someone to misunderstand. Kang Yoo-hyun’s smile deepened.

“So three people a day.”
