Chapter 31: Interview
After seeing that I had their attention I started telling them about my plans. The key points were still the same and some things changed completely I didn't meet any rejection from the Japanese side as they knew I have the capabilities to pull off what I said.
Although there were some questions along the way I answered them so they will be assured and I also warned them about some unforeseen circumstances. Like beru in the novel, I just didn't tell them about it outright but in a concealed way they were no idiots and they were able to conclude what I wanted to convey.
Now that I have practically ruined Japan's plan things are going to go differently I have to be ready for something unexpected.
I will be leading the raid with Goto being the no.2.
He agreed to it. And it wasn't a surprise he did his only reason to come here is to get a clearance of S-Rank gate on his record nothing else matters. He has given up on the thoughts of controlling Korea.
After 2 hours.
"Ok, then we will end this discussion here," I said as everyone nodded and the meeting ended.
We have already made the plans now we have to implement it and everyone is going to prepare their best.
The list of participants is Tsugikuni Haru, Cha Hae-in, Choi Jong-In, Baek Yoon-Ho, Im Tae-Gyu, Ma Dong-Wook, Min Byung-Gyu, Tawata Kanae, Izawa Ippei, Ishida Mari, Tanaka Kenzo, Hoshino Minoru, Kumamoto Atsushi, Fujishima Tatsumi, Kei, Shimizu Akari, and Ryuji Goto. The list was been released yesterday. And it has caused a heated discussion online as 2 S-Ranks of Korea were not participating in this raid.
Many theories were flying around but none of them were correct. I just shook my head because the people in question weren't even bothered by what was happening in the outside world.
Sigh*
"Are you ready Haru? We have to go for the interview." Hae-in said.
As we were selected to go for an interview on a famous talk show to ease the public and reassure them about the upcoming raid. It will be broadcasted live on the international channel so everyone can watch it. This is also the reason why I have to be dressed like this today or I would have come in normal clothes.
"Yes," I said with a smile as we exited the meeting room under the gaze of everyone in the room.
'Well, she is looking beautiful after all.' She is wearing a white suit jacket with a black lapel, a white vest with black buttons, a black button shirt with a royal design, white pants, black shoes, a rainbow rose in her chest pocket, and a white tie. With her hair left free in the air.
Even though her clothes might come out as masculine but her mature body gives it a unique feminine charm that can mesmerize anyone.
"D-Does it not suit me?" she asked shyly. I just shook my head at her behavior.
"You look beautiful. So don't worry. " I said as I gave her a loving smile. She looked away but I can see her ears are red.
"My, my youngsters these days have no shame right?" Jong-in said while looking at Yoon-ho.
"Why are you talking to me like I am old? you might be getting old but I ain't." Yoon-ho replied and they started fighting again.
"There they go fighting like an old married couple again," Tae-Gyu said.
"" SHUT UP"" both Yoon-Ho and Jong-in shouted at him at the same time. Which caused him to take a step back.
While the Japanese hunters were looking at us like.' is this how S-rankers act in Korea and the girls had their attention on us while talking amongst themselves.
"let's go we shouldn't be late for the interview." She nodded and followed me.
We sat down in the car and we were on our way to the KBS for the interview while having small talk Hae-in is getting shyer around me these days but I am giving her some space to sort out her feelings as I am sorting out my own.
We reached the studio as we went inside we met many people along the way as they asked for a photo with me and I didn't say no to them because of their expectant gazes.
Then we were said to go towards the make-up room to get a little touch-up done. It took about five minutes for Hae-in to get ready and the makeup artist just gave up as she said that I look good even without it and makeup will just bring down my natural charm. I just shook my head as it didn't matter to me. what bothered me was the gaze of the woman in the room.
'Can you not stare at me so fiercely.' I thought as we made our way backstage where we met the host of the show who was a famous star her name Lee Ji-Hye she is a beautiful woman with a mature body with long legs and a toned body with fair skin and long brown hair that reached her waist with Blue eyes. While wearing a cyan one-piece dress with high heels. She came towards us and greeted both of us with a hug. I have no problem being hugged by beautiful women rather I welcome it but...
Can you take it easy on the hug if you hug me tighter you might as well become a part of me and stop sniffing me?
I didn't push her back because it can be considered rude and no other reason seriously no other reason you hear me.
When she separated and said bye to us as we were in the waiting room now. I can see hae-in looking at me with an angry look. Which made her look cuter in my opinion so I just patted her head.
And her angry expression melted like snow in the sun.
And then the show started as the host did some a normal routine of jokes before moving on to the subject of the news about the attempt to take Jejudo back and clear the island of monsters. It was already said that we two will be coming on the show so the people kind of expected it to be this kind of show.
"So please welcome our Korean S-rank hunters, the only female S-rank hunter in Korea the Cha Hae-in." As she said this we entered from backstage Hae-in went first and there was a lot of applause for her and she waved her hand for the audience and sat down next on a sofa that was placed near where the host sat then she said.
"Now for our second guest the man who stole the heart of almost every woman in Asia with his looks Tsugukuni Haru."
Was that necessary I couldn't stop my eyebrows from twitching. I quickly calmed down as I walked out from backstage towards where they were sitting and a loud Applause broke out with women hooting and screaming.
I waved at them which caused it to increase more and more. I just shook my head and made my way towards the sofa and sat next to hae-in.
"Welcome to the show both of you. Even if you are busy with preparation for the raid thank you for coming here." Ji-hye said as she sat down as well.
"It's a pleasure to be here," I said to her.
"Thank you for inviting us." Hae-in followed.
She smiled and asked some normal questions about how the preparations were and how we were doing currently.
Then the topic became a bit freer as we talked about stuff we did normally and we answered as it was only a normal question nothing too personal.
"Ok then move to our next session in which we answer the question of the audience here in the studio or answer some tweets. Are you two ready."
We nodded.
"So then who is going to be first?" she asked while looking at the audience and many people were raising their hands.
She pointed at random women who stood up and asked.
"Hunter haru I am a big fan of you." She said while looking at me with stars in her eyes.
"I haven't even done anything worth gaining fans yet, but thank you," I said with a smile that caused every woman here critical damage.
"S-so the question is are hunters confident in conquering Jejudo we have failed 3 times so is it going to be a success this time. I used to live there with my parents but they passed away in the dungeon break." She said as she looked down tears clearly in her eyes.
"…Yes, we won't fail this time. I guarantee it. we are working hard to make it possible." I said with a smile.
"C-Can I have a hug?" she said in a low voice.
"Sure why not," I said as I walked towards her and hugged her, and patted her head when I separated from her while saying.
"Don't worry we won't fail this time." I then walked back towards my seat as Ji-hye said.
"I don't know how many parents or relatives are going to die today." Which caused everyone to laugh.
"Well next one." Then she chose a man who stood up and asked.
"Hunter Cha do you have a boyfriend?"
