chapter 31
31 – When That Day Comes
“..Sigh..Sin..Sorry..Because I didn’t know how to look ugly..”
A cafe away from the scene of the accident.
There, Yoon barely managed to control his emotions while wiping away his tears.
And, seeing her like this, Niglass lightly patted Yoon’s hair with a calm smile on her lips.
“It’s good. I think I’ve calmed down a bit now. I’m sorry, I should have noticed and dealt with it sooner…”
“No. Up to that point… In the first place, the guys called Mine suddenly occurred. You don’t have to apologize.”
Niglas speaks with sincere feelings of apology.
Regarding her attitude, Yoon accepts Niglas as an apology for not being able to cope with the task more quickly as a hunter, and shows a bitter smile on her lips, while on the other hand, she sees the ‘incident scene’ that she saw frozen while passing by. I couldn’t help but marvel at the look.
‘By the way… As expected, the people who work with my brother are different. To think that he slayed that terrifying demon in an instant.’
A pig-shaped demon that ran amok in the middle of the city and caused a lot of damage.
I don’t know, but judging from the scale of his rampage, Yoon guessed that the guy would be a Predator-class monster that was impossible to defeat with ordinary human power, and in fact, the guy who is rushing to the news right now is definitely a Predator-class. The story was coming out.
And, Niglas defeated such a ruthless monster in just a few minutes without anyone else’s help.
Although he didn’t see the scene himself, Yoon could guess that Niglas’ body was fairly easily killed, judging from the fact that he didn’t have a single wound.
‘She has a very pretty face, but she is also incredibly strong.
With that thought, a feeling of envy began to form in Yoon’s heart in relation to the man named Nigras in front of her.
She had her beautiful appearance, but at this moment, the biggest cause of her feelings was something else.
‘It’s completely different from me, who is weak and has no ability and always gets help.
Throughout her life, she has always been Yoon, who has always depended on her brother, and this fact has always remained a heavy burden in her heart.
Since her parents passed away, Seon Woo-jin has always taken on the role of her parents beyond being just her older brother.
She was thinking that she wanted to repay her kindness somehow, but she couldn’t come up with an appropriate way in her head.
In the first place, as an ordinary student now, all she could do was study.
But even that is possible because, in fact, she is staying under her brother’s shadow.
So, she had no intention of neglecting her duties as a student, but even now, when she sees her brother every day, she feels uncomfortable because of her guilt and the debt that has been holding her heart. I just had to pass the time.
With such feelings,
Feeling like a girl trying her iced cocoa for the first time, Yoon opened her mouth cautiously, looking at her eyes shining in the knee-glass.
“Hey.. Niglas.. Sister?”
“Huh? Why?”
Niglas responds naturally to Yoon’s question, who naturally starts calling herself older sister.
Then, towards Niglas, Yoon cautiously asked a question.
“Niglas-sister.. Must be helping your brother a lot on a regular basis, right?”
A question that is taken for granted.
However, at this moment, she cautiously asked a question related to the part that Yoon thought was most necessary.
But…
“Hmm.. She helps her older brother.. She never really thought about that, did she?”
“B… yes?”
Contrary to what I thought, Niglas gives a fairly unexpected answer
Regarding this, Yoon’s face instantly began to look embarrassed, and Niglas looked at Yoon like that without hesitation..
She brought out an answer beyond her imagination.
“Honestly, from my point of view, rather than helping. Even if it looks like this, I owe a lot to my brother.”
“Debt..?”
Regarding those words, Yoon suddenly thought, “Did I get money?”
Watching her like that, Niglass continued her words as if answering with a slightly bitter smile on her lips.
“Yes. I have a debt. A very big debt in the name of my life and my life.”
With those words, the memory of that time began to automatically appear in Niglas’ head.
Her memories of her older brother willingly reaching out to her crying alone after losing her parents…
“Perhaps, without my older brother, I wouldn’t be where I am now… My life wouldn’t exist. Recognizing that fact, she made up her mind from then on. I would do anything for my brother. My life is my brother’s. And in order to help such an older brother, I have to become strong myself.”
“I see.”
Niglas’s words ooze strong loyalty and deep affection.
As he listened to her, Yoon naturally recognized that she loved her own brother with all her heart.
Of course, from Yoon’s point of view, this love here means a friendship between a man and a woman, although it was a little different from what Niglas meant.
However, aside from that fact, at this moment, Yoon was able to naturally think of one fact while listening to Niglas’ story.
‘There may be a difference between me and her position as her biological sister.
Because she also had her brother, Seon Woo-jin, she was able to continue her life without giving up, and eventually she was able to start a new life by receiving salvation in the name of a miracle.
Even though they are her blood brothers, Yun naturally began to identify herself with the niglas in front of her eyes, in a situation where she was in debt to her brother that she could not repay.
‘Yes.. I also had an older brother, so I can say that I am still alive and breathing. If that’s the case, I’ll be like Nigras unnie..’
Niglas said that she became as strong as she is now for her brother Seon Woo-jin, who saved her own life.
It’s rolled up enough to kill a Predator-class mine in an instant.
Of course, since hunters are basically influenced by her innate talent, no matter how hard Yoon tried, he might not even be able to reach Nigglace’s toes.
However, she had many ways to strengthen herself, not just limited to her hunter work.
‘Because strength… Doesn’t necessarily mean only the physical part.’
She made her own decision about the direction of her life.
Then she started thinking more specifically about what she needed to do.
Fortunately, unlike before, she had a very good role model in front of her.
She was in a situation similar to his own, and she was a being who sublimated a great direction to the point of admiration.
Yoon, who had always had a wandering heart, was able to capture her heart by looking at her knee glasses.
‘Being strong… for her brother. I’m doing my best in what I can do now. And when the day finally comes when I can do something for her brother, only then..’
*
‘..A lot.. To the point of being too much.’
A woman checking the monitor with cold eyes.
In the screen, the records of the evangelism of Korea and the Mine Incident over the past month were marked with dots.
Most of them were about small puppies below the beast class, but at the same time, there were also quite a few incidents marked with large stars.
‘In the past month, the number of Predator-class mines has increased exponentially… But the number of victims has hardly changed.’
She was the one who had been reporting the demons’ attack situation all along, but this situation was obviously very strange.
A sudden, large-scale commotion of Predator-class mines that sprout like beans in a drought.
Seeing this, a possibility naturally popped into her mind.
‘It’s like… Someone is intentionally creating a mine. With some purpose.’
With that thought,
Her gaze naturally began to turn to the one standing high in front of her.
About a newly emerging hunter with the alias of chaos.
