Chapter 106 – The Hunter Association President’s Favor
A heart pattern as small as a finger heart.
Hong Wol-young Only part of the skin on the back of her shoulder was tanned.
She was a brown heart shaped delicately and cutely.
“What? Do I have a heart?”
Hong Wol-yeong turned around to where her parents were pointing.
She gathered her red hair and tucked it in front of her, turning her head back to the right to see a heart engraved on her shoulder.
She, too, tried to erase it by rubbing it with her finger to see if it was her first mark, and shrugged her shoulders, trying to take a closer look.
“I don’t think you’re hurt… Did you get a tattoo?”
“A tattoo? I have never had a tattoo.”
Sitting at her table, she examined Hong Wol-yeong’s shoulder.
Hong Wol-young is in a position that is difficult to see from her own perspective.
Said the woman who was staring at her from the side.
“Only this part was sunburned. Wolyoung, did you tan?”
“A tan?”
Hong Wol-young opened her eyes wide.
Holding her hand on her shoulder and lifting her gaze, she pondered something of her own before coming up with her answer.
“I did go to the beach after the field attack.”
“Then you must have rode there. I put on sunscreen, but I guess I didn’t put on this side.”
“Because I didn’t put on sunscreen. I was lucky Oh, did you leave this shape on purpose? I am.”
Hong Wol-young, who looked at her vivid heart mark, smiled.
I understood why these marks appeared.
However, her parents who heard her words opened her mouth in a daze.
“Wolyeong-ah. What did you just say?”
“?”
“Chunwoon put on your sunscreen?”
Hong Jae-hoon and his wife, who became rabbit eyes.
Her outsider man touched Hong Wol-young’s shoulder.
She didn’t just touch it, it seemed like she had sunscreen all over her back with her permission.
Then…
“Mom and dad. Don’t get me wrong. She was lucky, but this is why she was trying to make fun of me. In the first place, she doesn’t care if he touches her…”
Hong Wol-young made excuses that were not excuses.
But her parents’ misunderstandings piled up.
“Does it matter if Heaven touches you?”
“No, that’s why. That friend is in charge of my qigong treatment, so she presses it often.”
“Do you press it often?”
“Massage. Think of it as a massage. It pushes my body and blows energy into it. You’ve seen the effect. Here.”
Hong Wol-young pointed her finger at the open wound on the other side of her shoulder.
She hurriedly explained that her parents seemed suspicious of their relationship.
“So you mean she touches that too?”
“It’s not directly pressing the wound, but it’s a way to heal by putting magic around it.”
“Are you okay?”
“That’s good. Thanks to her heavenly luck, how many wounds have healed. When I think of the uncomfortable things I used to be, I feel really comfortable these days.”
Hong Jae-hun closely examined her expression.
A complexion that brightens when mentioning heavenly fortune.
The attitude that if she is sensitive to her skinship, it doesn’t matter if she touches her.
Even a faint smile hung on his lips.
It seemed that it was not normal.
“Hmmmm. I see.”
“Yes, the effect of the treatment is so great that after receiving it, I fall asleep all day. It feels like the stress is gone and my strength is restored.”
“Mmmm, that’s right.”
Hong Jae-hoon tried to hold back the laughter that kept coming out.
It wasn’t that Hong Wol-young didn’t have a man.
Light was visible.
I changed the topic of conversation to something else before asking further questions and feeling uncomfortable.
Hong Wol-yeong The heart pattern on her shoulder kept catching her attention between meals.
Hong Jae-hoon and his wife exchanged glances while looking at it.
After the meal and parting ways with Hong Wol-yeong, the couple returned home.
“How are you two?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Wolyeong keep a man that close.”
“The heart pattern on her shoulder, that child must also have feelings for Wolyeong, right?”
“I think so.”
The two shared various opinions about the relationship between Hong Wol-young and Cheon Woon-ui.
“Looks like there’s an age difference, aren’t you and Chunun 5 years older?”
“These days, couples of younger men and older women are the trend. Especially for hunters, age difference is meaningless.”
“Oh, then what about Wolyoung’s taste?”
“I must meet a child named Chun-woon. I will come and see what kind of child I am.”
The couple’s faces swelled with anticipation.
*
After a bogus reason or commotion, I didn’t loosen the vigilance around me.
Hong Wol-yeong and Lee Yoo-I were always suspicious, and I put my heart and soul into milking her.
My milking sense is sharper than anything else.
At least when it came to milking, no one fooled me.
The milking frequency was increased and the two were monitored.
Fortunately, the situation we feared did not happen.
There has never been a re-appearance of fake Lee Yu-na or fake Hong Wol-young.
However, the frequency of occurrence of cracks increased further.
As if there were holes in the atmosphere, cracks were pouring in like food.
The hunters were busy without blinking their eyes.
I was clearing the fields and cracks as well as I could see.
A call came from the Hunter Association.
There was progress in the investigation of the previous villains Kim Dong-young and Park Seong-joon.
The related information was guided to listen to the president of the association.
“Yeah? Are you the president of the association?”
Were those villains really that important?
Enough that the president of the association called me directly.
I asked the association to investigate what the identities of the villains were.
I asked them to let me know if there were meaningful results of the investigation, but I did not expect to be guided by the president of the association.
I adjusted my clothes and entered the president’s office.
“Are you here, you are lucky. Nice to meet you.”
“Yes, hello.”
A middle-aged man with neat all-back hair, red hair and strong eyes greeted me.
Jaehun Hong, president of the Hunter Association.
He held out his hand and shook hands.
He was looking at me and smiling sadly.
As if it were strange, he looked at my whereabouts.
“I’ve been waiting for you, take a seat.”
“Yeah.”
It had a similar impression to Hong Wol-yeong, but the overall lines were thick and sharp.
The person who always represented the Hunter Association when it came out on TV.
In reality, it looked much more refined and strong.
She sat across from him with the table between hers.
Hong Jae-hoon leisurely pours a cup of tea.
It wasn’t a stiff atmosphere, so I tilted my teacup comfortably.
“I called you here because I want to see you.”
Hong Jae-hun, who carefully observed me drinking tea.
It seemed that talking about villains was not the purpose.
I raised my head and looked at him.
“I heard that you are treating our Wolyeong.”
In an instant, my hand stiffened.
Was the purpose of the talk about qigong therapy?
Did you catch me milking Hong Wol-yeong?
It couldn’t be.
If that was the case, he would have punched me as soon as he saw me.
I’m not going to talk comfortably over tea like this.
He relaxed and nodded slowly.
“I heard from Wolyeong that your treatment has helped a lot. In fact, even as I see it, the wound has healed a lot. As a parent of her daughter, I wanted to thank you.”
“Oh, no. I just wanted to repay the kindness I wore during my days at the orphanage. I heard that you sponsored our Hope Orphanage. The treatment for Mr. Hong Wol-yeong is only a small reward. Rather, I would like to greet my benefactor.”
Then I remembered the reason why I started treating Hong Wol-yeong.
The Hong family received many blessings.
I bowed down and said hello to him.
“Heh heh, did that happen? We had a small relationship. Never mind There are not one or two orphanages we sponsored, and we have never asked for anything in return.”
“It was a small interest, but it was a big help to us. The nursery school in the danger zone was always in need, but thanks to the sponsors, everyone was able to live with a smile. When the opportunity arises, I really want to repay them.”
Hearing the story of my nursery school days, he chuckled.
The small good he did helped the child grow.
I couldn’t help but be glad that such a well-grown child is now helping her daughter’s treatment.
A well-crafted meme.
A satisfied smile appeared on Hong Jae-hoon’s lips.
“No matter how you do it, is it the same as helping your daughter? Even the best healers couldn’t cure the Chinese rift curse. This is what we deserved.”
“It’s too much. It is an outrageous word. Rather, I was happy that I could help Mr. Hong Wol-young.”
“Your young Hunter speaks beautifully. But don’t be too humble. Your treatment deserves praise.”
Hong Jae-hoon said with a generous smile.
He seemed to be in a good mood from the conversation he had just had.
But I wasn’t being humbled.
I milked your daughter and am still receiving a lot of help.
To receive his praise as it is, my conscience, which had already been searched and left somewhere in the grave, was stabbed a little.
“Apart from investigating the villain, I wanted to see you in person and reward you for your treatment. Will it be okay?”
Hong Jae-hoon looked through his inventory and took out one of his items.
“I am really fine.”
“Haha, don’t hesitate and take it.”
S-class items spread out on the table.
*
[Item information]
―Name: Armor of Honor and Splendor
―Class: S-class
―Effect: Defense +180, Magic Defense +180
It was luxurious greaves that glittered.
S-class armor items cost billions of won.
Taking out something with this level of performance, the tabletop became as luxurious as its price and value.
“Would you like to try it on, I think it will suit you well.”
Hong Jae-hoon was determined.
It was rude to keep refusing and rejecting the favor, so I took the item he brought out and put it on.
I put it over my clothes and tied the straps of my armor.
As the shape disappeared, the armor became equipment in my inventory.
The stat increase is noticeable.
The armor I used to use was A-grade purchased on the market.
Wearing a new S-class, defense and magic defense increased by 50 each.
It would be faster to receive gifts one by one than to collect pennies and buy items.
The S-class items I own are already cloaks, swords, bracelets, and armor.
Suddenly, I got a bit of a tempo.
“Can I accept this precious gift?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If you could only heal your daughter’s wounds, what items would be worthwhile?”
Hong Jae-hoon laughed heartily.
If Hong Wol-yeong was cured, the value would be as good as an S-class item, but it was questionable whether such an item would be readily given away.
“Is there anything else you want from me?”
“Why do you think so?”
“It’s like you’ve been given such a great gift.”
“Haha, it’s nothing. Don’t mind it.”
Jaehoon Hong is smiling.
Looking at me so warmly
He stretched out his horse’s tail.
“If there is anything I want from you…”
It seemed to be the main point here.
I waited patiently for his words.
“Please be good to our Wolyeong like you are now.”
“… ?”
A look that seems to be expecting something.
Looking at his benevolently wrinkled expression, I tried to interpret his words.
If it’s like now, are you asking for good treatment?
I bet you’re not talking about milking.
He seemed to be expecting a cure for his wounds.
He felt the warm love of his father.
Yes, I will milk you harder.
I silently nodded at him with firm eyes.
