[Author] □□ (126.339) | 203 1.6.23 5:49 PM | [Views] 182,172 [Recommended] 7,894

[Content] does it make sense for them to clear the b-class gate as an f-class? not even as a gatherer, but a hunter??? if the meter isn’t broken, i think wolf stabbed the association in the back pocket for money lol

└>□□: since when did concept hunters work for wolf? i think wolf isn’t planning to raise her as a hunter but to raise her as a star hahaha

└>□□: fr hahahahaha

└>□□: what a concept bug ;;; i really want to get rid of her along with the bugs in the world

tl/n: “컨셉충” (컨셉 being concept and 충 being bug) is used for mocking someone who is deeply stuck in their own created character.

└>□□: no because did she enter a gate wearing her dress again? hahahaha is she not ashamed of doing that at her age

└>□□: i know right **** wake up

└>□□: i don’t think it’s fake?? wasn’t there also the level 30 monster from last time??

└>□□: still, wolf could have taken an f-class hunter with no skills?? but i agree that there are other possibilities

└>□□: i think it’s just aggro

└>□□ : Sit down and make money. Up to 490,000 won per day!!□□: really wish i could skip past all the concept bugs, i hate seeing them

Everything he didn’t want her to see was pouring from the dim light of the monitor.

Eunha had a new can of beer and looked at Siwoo, who had frozen in place.

“What’s the matter?”

“… Have you seen them?”

Eunha followed Siwoo’s blue eyes and shrugged a little.

“Yeah.”

Tshhh.

After taking the canned beer, Eunha gulped and swallowed the carbonic acid she wanted. Wiping her wet lips with the back of her hand, she opened her mouth carelessly. Turns out, she had something to ask him.

“What is a concept bug?”

At the question that flew like a fastball, Siwoo’s eyes were instantly dyed with bewilderment.

How should he explain it, or how could he explain it? A sign of considerable trouble seemed to stir up a vortex in his blue eyes.

“… Sorry.”

In the end, what came out of his mouth was an apology without any explanation.

Eunha, who was eating dried squid, stopped his hand and looked up at him.

Siwoo was staring at the laptop.

Black pixels became thorn-like sentences that poured from the pure white monitor like rainwater.

They were blades and arrows. Poison, which was supposed to be directed at himself, not her.

“What are you sorry for?”

“It’s my fault that Sunbae heard such things.”

“Why?”

“Sunbae’s—”

He wanted to hide away.

The words he couldn’t even spit out became dust and scattered in the air. Siwoo pursed his lips tightly.

After all, this was part of a ‘contract’.

Eunha accepted the contract, and Siwoo promised to pay a large sum of money.

Originally, it was supposed to end there. At the time when the contract was stamped, he wouldn’t have cared about any disadvantages caused to the other party.

However, the problem was that she was a first-generation hunter.

A period of upheaval. Hunters called the late ’90s that when gates first appeared.

Just by reading books, he could feel how dark and miserable those times were. If he had to ask himself to live in that time right now, or to survive, he honestly didn’t have the confidence to do it.

A returnee who overcame those times and returned after surviving several years in the Unknown Gate. It was she who put herself in front of the public.

She did it out of necessity, and she would pay the price for it, but she nevertheless dishonored herself as one of the first-generation hunters.

Only for their own goals.

He was not as comfortable with it as he thought.

“There is no need to apologize unless you acted against the terms of the contract.”

The side view of her holding a can of beer was unbelievably calm.

“Do I have to pay attention to how people react? They are of no help in clearing gates or fulfilling the contract.”

“A hunter’s awareness has a huge impact on their work. If the critical public opinion about Sunbae does not go away as it is, future activities may be hindered.”

Eunha’s expression didn’t change despite Siwoo’s words. She just stared intently at him.

“Therefore?”

Eunha opened her mouth and tilted her head slightly.

“Even if that happens, you’re not going to break the contract.”

“— I.”

“Raise your head.”

Eunha opened her mouth concisely to Siwoo, who had almost put his forehead on the table.

“You are my contract partner. And in this unfamiliar modern world, you’re the only one I can lean on.”

“… Sunbae.”

“So, you don’t have to bow your head. To me and or the public.”

Siwoo slowly raised his head and looked at Eunha.

“Rather than just apologizing, give me a direction now. Isn’t that your job?”

Unshakable black eyes.

That firm gaze seemed to hold Siwoo strongly so that he could no longer bow his head.

In front of those eyes, Siwoo only vaguely realized. The reason his own heart was so uncomfortable.

Maybe it was because she was too dazzling to be overshadowed, to be buried in the word ‘concept’.
