Chapter 180 – Traps (8)
After breakfast, it was time to start the morning routine. Just in time for her, a large dump truck waddled up to her lab. She came out into her yard and waved her hand at her truck driver.
The truck driver, smoking a cigarette and wearing sunglasses, did not recognize that the opponent was an S-class hunter, and only nodded roughly and stepped on the brakes. He jumped out of the driver’s seat and said to Choi Yeon-ju.
“Where can I put it?”
“Please park your car towards the entrance of the warehouse here.”
The truck driver deftly maneuvered the car through a narrow parking lot. The car’s body rattled and swayed as the wheels narrowly crossed the edge, but he turned the steering wheel boldly, as if he was accustomed to this.
When the car turned its tail completely in the direction of the warehouse, Choi Yeon-ju opened the warehouse door. She then picked up the journal herself and began checking the contents. The truck driver ran back in the direction of the luggage compartment and asked.
“Where can I put it?”
“Leave it. Because I can do it alone.”
“Alone? No, even a Hunter…”
Tentacles sprouted from her body before the truck driver could finish his sentence.
“Aaaaagh!”
The truck driver screamed in surprise, and Lee Jun-hyeok, who had finished eating at the sound, ran out with a gasp and went back with a toothache. I heard Junhyeok Lee shouting toward the restaurant.
“Nothing. Eat food! Rice!”
And Lee Jun-hyeok quickly fixed the wig and asked Choi Yeon-ju.
“Hey, can I help you?”
“No need.”
Lee Jun-hyeok nodded his head with a shy expression, then went back inside. The truck driver sat on the floor, staring at her tentacles with her mouth open.
If there were a lot of people, I would just order the technicians and staff, but if there were few people, it was more convenient to do it myself. She lifted and moved items at once with her tentacles, checking the names attached to her items and organizing the quantity table and warehouse in an instant.
After neatly checking the quantity, she signed her receipt and asked as she closed the warehouse door.
“Would you like to wait and have lunch? The person who came before always ate lunch before leaving.”
“Oops, no. I have another job, so I will go again.”
The truck driver glanced at Choi Yeon-joo as if he were seeing a monster, then got into the driver’s seat as if he were running away. She made a chair in front of the warehouse and watched the truck leave, just in case something happened to the truck.
Fortunately, the big truck got out of the building safely and went down the hill. Yeonju Choi massaged the nape of her neck once and then straightened her stiff waist.
“Phew…”
Yeonju Choi frowned as she stretched her face. Thinking that she was tired, it was because she remembered the events of last night again.
Jung Soo-hyun’s all-night sex.
Hunter was a contradictory being, sensitive to her senses, but insensitive to her stimuli. The higher her rank, the more acute this contradiction. Everything in her field of vision feels increasingly slow. As she becomes able to see the invisible details, the surprises in her life fade away.
The pleasure you feel when riding a fast ride. My heart beats when I hear a loud sound. The fear and suspense felt while watching a scary movie. The pleasure you feel while playing the game. A sense of accomplishment while exercising.
Choi Yeon-joo could hardly remember feeling anything like that. All the things she enjoyed in her youth became numb as she climbed the ratings.
She could lift 500 kg with one finger. She ran faster than she did on the rides. Before she hears a loud sound, her body and mind first prepare. Even in scary scenes from horror movies, she could calmly detect that the ghost was in disguise.
Players couldn’t keep up with her movements no matter what game they played.
In her boring life, the only thing she liked was drama. It was because the characters in her dramas were feeling the fun of her life that she hadn’t felt. As she studied contemporary dramas, she realized that imagining herself as the main character in historical dramas was more fun, so she began traveling straight through historical dramas.
“It’s okay.”
Choi Yeon-ju stretched her body, and suddenly, she had an idea. She has something that all high-ranking hunters like herself become obsessed with. Because it was the only ‘stimulus’ of her own life, she said. If he is stimulated by ‘drama’, is Jeong Su-hyeon stimulated by ‘sex’?
When she thought about it, she felt a little sorry for being irritable yesterday. As far as she knew, Jeong Su-hyeon was also a hunter who rose to C-rank quite quickly. Hunters who raised their ranks at an early stage used to be particularly confused by these senses and obsessed with strange objects.
If Jung Soo-hyeon was obsessed with sex itself, she was willing to understand a little bit.
“Please tell Hunter Jung Soo-hyun to come to the office.”
First of all, I decided to look at Jung Soo-hyun’s face today and make a decision. She said that if she was tired, she would sternly warn her not to do that, and if she had a clean face, she decided to put up with herself. Her all-night sex could have been the process of her finding her own identity in her own way.

“…Are you all right?”
When I opened the door to the office and entered, those were the first words Hunter Choi Yeon-joo said. She spoke in a tone that seemed to be really surprising that I was fine. I didn’t know how to answer her question, so I nodded her head and replied:
“Yes. I’m fine Except for health, it is a corpse.”
“Looks like you slept well last night?”
“Yes. Did Choi Yeon-joo Hunter sleep well?”
She seemed to think for a moment, then nodded her head in reply.
“Ah yes. What… I slept well.”
“Then, did you invite me to ‘train’ from the morning today?”
“…Perform?”
When she said it was training, Choi Yeon-joo Hunter’s face hardened. I remembered what had happened not long ago and quickly corrected her expression. Whenever I engage in sparring or similar sexual activity with Almighty Emperor, the word ‘practice’ naturally pops out as I use words such as training or training.
“No, so sparring.”
“Ah, yes. I have to fight. I will simply test the movement.”
Choi Yeon-ju said that, and I entered the door with the spear and shield I had prepared in advance. Choi Yeon-joo slightly raised her eyebrows as if it were quite right, and nodded her head.
*****
“Good job.”
Sweat was pouring down Suhyun’s face. His arms and legs trembled, and his spear and shield had long since fallen to the floor. However, he was still standing and poised towards Choi Yeon-joo. Yeonju Choi sat in her chair with a relaxed expression and applauded him.
“It’s getting better and better.”
“Is that so?”
It was only after she said that that Jung Soo-hyeon relaxed.
Choi Yeon-joo liked Jung Soo-hyeon’s fighting style. No matter how much Almighty Emperor fights in a similar way, she was just an existence in the world of images, and she was a real existence that radiated a sense of intimidation to Jeong Su-Hyun.
However, as if Jung Soo-hyeon was accustomed to fighting against such pressure, he fought without shrinking in the slightest.
“Have you ever fought like this before?”
“Yes?”
“I deliberately fought with a bit of energy this time, but he didn’t feel intimidated. Usually, when I radiate this much energy, there were many cases where I made a mistake or shuddered.”
“Ah yes. There were quite a few at the gate.”
During his three months at the gate, Jung Soo-hyeon had to face a C-rank enemy alone, and also had to fight an enemy he might not be able to beat for Seong Ha-yeon. Jeong Su-hyeon did not want to express the long process word by word, so he summarized it as ‘a lot of things happened’.
That concise explanation aroused Yeonju Choi’s curiosity again.
“At the gate… He said he was missing at the gate. Are you talking about that time?”
“Yes.”
“I heard that the disappearance period outside was less than a few months, but how long did it take inside?”
“It must have been about three months. In the meantime, I took a C grade.”
She realized that his growth wasn’t simply due to a fragment of the Almighty, but rather to the chaos at the gate. Thinking so, it seemed that I could see Jung Soo-hyun again a little bit. Small scars left on his arms and body, and momentum that seems weak even at this moment.
“Incredible. Then, Hunter Seong Ha-yeon’s pregnancy… ?”
She nodded her head and asked cautiously.
“Yes. You’re right.”
Suhyun smiled awkwardly and nodded his head.
“Okay.”
At this moment, she thought.
In that chaos, how many times did he have sex with Seong Ha-yeon? Maybe that’s why I became obsessed with sex? Wouldn’t it be the same as having sex outside the gate, out of despair? Isn’t this still obsessed with sex because it’s still a time to get used to your level and senses?
It was such a crude and pitiful guess that she couldn’t bear to ask Jung Soo-hyeon. Instead, she asked:
“Next time, I’d like to hear about your adventures at that gate. Would it be okay?”
“Sure.”
The conversation between the two of them that day ended like that.
Choi Yeon-joo decided to understand Jung Soo-hyeon’s all-night sex.
*****
“Aang! Ahh! Haha! Aaaaang!”
“…Crazy bastard.”
3 am.
She couldn’t understand Jung Soo-hyun.
