The Divorced Man Has Returned

#144. …Nonsense.

“That’s your heart.”

In the end, the choice was up to Jena.

Most hunters. In particular, high-ranking hunters are forced to make social sacrifices.

Because their talents were limited.

The popularity of a celebrity is close to that of a successful businessman.

The reason why you can enjoy all of this is because the hunters use their talents to protect mankind from monsters.

However, the punishment for those who did not move despite their talents was harsh.

As well as being pointed at by the hunters, the public never accepted him positively.

Even me, who was active at the forefront of the front line, was to the point of being bullied for hiding in my personal affairs.

“I respect whatever choice you make.”

Whether born with a body unable to awaken magical powers or born with a talent to aim for an S-class peak, in the end, each individual has his or her own life.

“I just want you not to worry about me and do what you want.”

When did her Jena meet her after seeing her activities as a hunter?

The reason that she took her Jena as her wife was because she saw and met the person herself.

“…I feel like I’m going to get farther away.”

A small voice.

However, her clear pronunciation was telling what she was afraid of.

“If I close my eyes here and turn around, you’ll be far away.”

“Jenna… You know better than that it won’t.”

“Then…!”

Jena bit her lip.

“It’s different now.”

“Nevertheless I…”

“Choi Inwook.”

Jenna didn’t give me time to explain to the end.

“The reason you were able to come to me.”

It was a truly lonely eye.

“Because you were abandoned by those children.”

I couldn’t deny it.

Because that was true.

If I broke up with Harin and Sihwa hadn’t left me like that, Jena and I would have lived life like parallel lines.

“And now, instead of abandoning you, they are craving you like crazy.”

It was an infinitely calm tone, but there was a tremor between her breaths.

“That’s why I’m scared.”

“It’s Jena.”

She tried to tell her to calm down for a second, but she didn’t stop.

“I don’t know if I am the most useful person to you.”

“I don’t know if I am a much better person than them.”

“I can’t let go of my heart for you so easily.”

“…Too hard.”

After finishing her words, she bowed her head for a while.

“Oh. Sorry. I didn’t come here for this.”

She stood up helplessly, looking only at her floor.

“I’ll go first.”

I tried to catch her as she was leaving her shop, but Jena said it was really okay and shook her hand away.

I knew it wasn’t a good thing for her to let her go as she is, but I had no reason to hold her.

“Ah… a real nerd bastard.”

Proposal with the risk of destruction was too heavy for me.

* *

I decided that not following Inwook in Jinhae was a good thing or a bad thing.

“Ha… Ha ha…”

Sweat dripped down so much that her hair got wet and wet her clothes.

I borrowed the company’s training ground and succeeded in achieving rapid growth in the past month.

Of course, there was still a sense of lack compared to her previous life, but it was not an achievement comparable to that of Ha-rin Youn, who was 20 years old in her last life.

But it’s still too early to be satisfied.

Because my competitors.

In particular, it was because Yoo Shi-hwa also boasted a formidable force.

“I’ll do it this far today.”

I asked the butler, who was waiting outside, to prepare me for my return, and after taking a shower, I changed clothes and returned home.

“Lady. These are the materials you requested.”

“Oh. Thanks.”

After receiving the folder, I said hello and headed to my room.

“Uh huh… it’s thick…”

The information I asked the butler for was data about the recent trends in the hunter world.

From the rank data of S-class for the past 3 years to the most recent events.

After flipping through the pages, I thought that it must not have been too difficult to make this.

I should give you a bonus, butler.

The reason we first looked for data on the ranking was to check whether there were any regressors besides us.

Of course, we could have thought that we had returned to create a child who would protect the world, but it was because we decided that the possibility that we were not the only ones who returned was not zero.

Even though Inuk was ranked first in the S-class, there was also the first place in that squadron, and I thought that the hunters who were fighting for the second place could be sufficient candidates for regression.

“Hmm…”

But, is that rain?

For now, one thing is for sure, there has not yet been a person who excelled at an overwhelmingly young age as much as In-wook or Yu Shi-hwa.

The previous rankings also seemed to fit absurdly from what I remember.

“Then this is on hold for now…”

Information sometimes has more power than combat power.

For In-wook’s future and for me to be helpful to In-wook, I thought that quickly organizing and delivering overwhelming amounts of information would be an important competitive advantage.

“Hmm?”

Most of the recorded contents were incidents that I knew or were minor cases that did not affect the general trend, but the contents recorded around the last part caught my attention at a glance.

“What is it? This.”

[Many humanoid monster witnesses appear.]

[Appears and disappears rapidly.]

[Currently, the association is dispatching an investigation team.]

“Is it strange?”

Having done research on humanoid monsters, I was convinced that this case was never before.

Since the monsters appeared in Korea, humanoid monsters have never been in a group.

A monster of level 4 or higher appears in a non-dungeon and disappears suddenly?

If this is true, it was a sign that a strange phenomenon that had never happened in a previous life would begin again.

I was sitting in front of the computer and was about to send an e-mail to the butler to investigate the matter closely.

[This is breaking news.]

Emergency warning sound from mobile phone.

[Many level 4 monsters appeared at the western branch of the Seoul Hunter Association. Please evacuate nearby citizens.]

How urgent the situation was, the text messages continued to pour in after that.

Real-time brokerage posted on the news.

I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes.

It wasn’t even an area where other civilians were active.

It was an ambitious night, but it was a building where the hunters directly kept their seats and watched their work.

However, more than a third of the building in the West Branch was destroyed and burned to the extent that it felt so ridiculous to say that.

A clear silhouette of a person caught from the inside of the flame.

“That’s…”

When the screen was close-up, I couldn’t hide my confusion.

The difference between a humanoid monster and a human is that the tissues that make up the body are also different.

Even if a humanoid has a human-like form, a monster is still a monster.

Even just looking at it with the naked eye, it was immediately obvious that it was a monster.

But it wasn’t him now.

Having half of its body covered in black armor, it was obviously a monster, but the other half was a human.

He had a face that was really close to a person.

-Weeeee again!

Magic power gathered at your fingertips.

Of course, it was difficult to confirm because it was not seen in the field, but that method looked similar to the way normal monsters, not hunters, radiate magical power.

–

A handful of light bursts out and crushes the frame of the building on the other side.

At least grade A. I think it would be better to have an S rank to deal with it generously…

The S-class, which was blocking him, could not be caught by the camera, perhaps because there was only one body that appeared.

A humanoid monster that eventually jumps out of the building and runs towards the floor.

They poured out of the building with an orderly movement, as if it had been agreed in advance.

The number of them is at least 5 or more.

The images of the hunters who were summoned to stop them are also starting to be caught on camera.

–

It dances with will and direction as if the flames used magic.

The dot became a line, and then it was transformed into a shape that seemed to leave a single pattern.

“…That’s ridiculous.”

Is this a reasonable thing to do?

It didn’t matter if this happened in a previous life or not.

It was beyond common sense.

The explosion of flames exploded as if to celebrate the destruction of the Hunter branch.

And the trajectory left at that place was expressing a form that we know too.

“…Is this the work of Sulwhasoo?”

I don’t know why, but Sulwhagyo seemed to be able to use the power of monsters.
