I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

72 – Climbing the Tower (2)

Mapo-gu Gate was crowded with numerous hunters.

Hunters who save party members, Hunters who chat with clan members, Hunters who use windows, and so on.

Various types of hunters gathered at the gate with their own goals.

I sat there and watched him.

It’s not long before Yerin and her party’s appointment time.

It was a moment when I was spending free time checking the time on my cell phone.

“Isn’t that guy Seojun Han?”

“About the Hanbit Park Incident?”

Sukdeok Sukdeok.

I heard some people talking.

The whispers of people from far away rang in my ears.

I was whispering softly so I couldn’t hear it, but for some reason, I could hear it so clearly.

“Did you defeat a level 3 tentacle?”

“Looking at your face, it seems right. And f*ck. What a dog.”

“Didn’t he get promoted to rank E not too long ago?”

“I don’t know. Oh, come to think of it, I’ve seen him go back and forth as a porter from time to time, really.”

There were a few familiar faces as he worked mainly as a porter at the gate in Mapo-gu.

‘I’ve been hearing my story from time to time since I defeated the Chokgwi in the park.’

When I was just a porter, I couldn’t even dream of it.

Even now, the fact that he is an E-rank hunter and porter remains the same, but his recognition and reputation are different.

After subjugating the 3rd level Chokgwi that appeared in Hanbit Park, the incident flowed through the media and increased awareness.

Walking around the neighborhood, I met one or two people who pretended to know me.

Of course, I find this situation in which I am asking questions with curious eyes full of curiosity.

‘It’s an unwelcome interest.’

It’s not very pleasant to go up and down in someone else’s room.

Moreover, especially if you’re not saying it with a good meaning, but with a bad meaning.

“Han Seo-joon? What’s the point of him defeating a level 3 tentacle?”

Look.

Like that.

“It must have been a joke that the D-rank hunter who was by my side made her daughter’s blood.”

A bit far away.

A grumpy-looking man let out a sneer.

He was talking a little louder, as if he wanted to be heard.

Who is that bastard?

I listened quietly.

“In the first place, even among the 3 levels, Chokgwi is a b*tch, but what? It makes a fuss that you caught it. Rather, isn’t it strange that we couldn’t subdue all the people in the park until they died?”

He exchanged farmland with the party members next to him, bringing a smile on his face.

The party members also laughed as they chimed in.

Kids. You speak so beautifully.

“That bastard. I don’t know if they used the people in the park as a shield.”

He shrugged and giggled.

As I raised my head slightly, I met the man’s eyes.

The face of that man who kept scratching my nerves looked a bit familiar.

‘It’s an obvious provocation, but annoying.’

The name of the man sitting in a chair with three teammates and talking behind his back half openly is Park Seo-hyuk.

A D-Rank Beretang Hunter.

I saw his face a few times in the Hunter Gallery.

It was quite famous for harassing new hunters.

It is a category that feels catharsis by trampling on seeds that are just sprouting.

I could have wondered why they would do such useless things, but the law of preserving fools says that if more than a few people gather, there will always be one fool.

‘Has he become famous enough to be photographed by such an asshole?’

In my heart, I laughed as if I was dumbfounded.

Being famous is not necessarily a good thing.

Because it’s easy to become a target for useless people like that.

‘Park Seo-hyuk has been staying in D-rank for several years, maybe?’

The personal information about that guy popped into my head.

Park Seo-hyeok has tried the C-Rank Hunter promotion test so far, but he has failed every time.

Because from C rank, it’s the area of talent.

Those who lack talent can never reach C rank.

Park Seo-hyeok was just a criminal, and he probably knows that fact well.

Because of that, he must have degenerated into an idiot who satisfies his pride and self-esteem by bullying new hunters who show talent.

‘I wonder if it’s because it’s inside the gate that I can say sh*t like this openly?’

From noble mtl dot com

A gate where countless hunters gather.

Frequent quarrels happen.

For that reason, fighting is strictly forbidden.

If you break the rules and cause a fight, in the worst case, you may be disqualified as a hunter.

‘Moreover, there are four people over there. If it’s not too bad, I won’t be able to deal with them even if they get into a fight.’

I don’t know the face well except for Park Seo-hyuk, but if it’s enough to form a party with a veteran D-rank hunter, it’s probably D-C rank.

‘Park Seo-hyeok has joined a small and medium clan, so he must be a member of the same clan?’

Assuming I don’t know his face, there’s a high chance he’s not a name, but that doesn’t mean he’s weak.

It must be a Beretang Hunter who has gone through all sorts of battles.

‘But it wouldn’t do any good to build a grudge against the rookie hunters.’

Park Seo-hyuk usually harassed rookies with no background, but even so, it wasn’t a good idea considering the future.

Who knows if one of the rookie hunters that Park Seo-Hyuk bullied later will have a winning streak?

‘Well, it’s highly unlikely.’

I smiled and shook my head.

‘Anyway, I can’t stay still if you openly argue like this.’

I laughed bitterly in my heart.

If it was the old me, I would have avoided the fight.

Because I was weak.

I didn’t like fighting either.

But it was different now.

Is it because I witnessed countless death struggles in my dreams?

Unbeknownst to me, it seemed that my resistance to fighting had decreased a lot.

No, he might be hoping for a little fight.

I didn’t know it would turn out like this already, but I’ve been exchanging words with Jihyun, so I’ll take this opportunity anyway…….

“That bastard Han Seo-joon is actually a killer…….”

“What did Han Seo-joon say?”

I heard a familiar voice suddenly.

The hunters around were spying with stiff faces.

Someone unknown tapped Park Seo-hyuk on the shoulder and asked a sharp question.

Park Seo-hyeok frowned and turned his head toward the source of his voice, where a red-haired woman was chewing on candy and staring at him anxiously.

“Uh, uh…… ? Black, black society…… ?”

A hair style with red hair tied back like thick blood.

He wears a protective suit that looks similar to a suit roughly over his shoulder.

Sharp eyes and eyes reminiscent of a beast.

“Why are you talking so loudly?”

“Oh, sorry… ….”

It was Ganghwaryun.

“To be able to swear so openly in a public place…… I have great guts.”

“Oh, no, that… ….”

“Is this your living room? It’s not is not it?”

“Ugh… ….”

Park Seo-hyuk only trembled with a pale face.

Some of the clan members who were by his side also watched carefully, and then flinched and took a backward step when their eyes met Ganghwa-ryeon.

A few members of Heuksan Clan were watching by Kang Hwa-ryeon.

They were muscular stilts wearing black suits.

They were probably B-A rank hunters.

“Are you guys from the Hanshan Clan?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Why is the Byeokso Clan talking so damn loud inside the gate? f*ck you.”

“Sorry, sorry.”

Kang Hwa-ryun rubbed Park Seo-hyuk’s shoulder with a smile on his face.

“You guys aren’t alone. Yes?”

“Yes, yes!”

Park Seo-hyeok was restless without any resistance.

His eyes rolled here and there and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked very nervous and frightened.

He was afraid more than necessary, but I fully understood his feelings.

It was because Ganghwa-ryeon, who was a member of the Heuksanhoe, could get f*cked with vulgar words if he looked wrong.

If Kang Hwa-ryeon said a word, her life would be in immediate danger.

Of course, there was no way Ganghwa-ryun would go that far with this level of work, but the image of him as the successor of a gangster group and the fact that he was an S-rank hunter must have come as a very heavy burden to Park Seo-hyeok.

“Then will you be quiet now?”

“Ugh…… ?!”

At that moment, Seohyuk Park let out a short moan and put his hand on his shoulder.

“Why is that?”

“Ah, nothing, ah, no, everything.”

Park Seo-hyuk bit his lower lip hard as if trying to endure his pain and sweated profusely.

Anyway, it looked like one of the shoulders Ganghwa-ryun was kneading was damaged.

She looked shabby with her right arm hanging out.

It looks like it hurts quite a bit, but I endured it well.

“Okay, then go away. You too.”

“Persimmon, thanks, thank you.”

Park Seo-hyeok and his clanmates quickly left their seats with their heads bowed.

It’s funny how he runs away in a hurry.

Ganghwa-ryun watched the scene for a while, then she quickly turned her head towards her.

A bit surprised.

The appearance of Ganghwa Ryun was unexpected.

But there is no need for her to panic.

Respond calmly as usual.

“What is it, Seojun Han? Were you cursing like an idiot again?”

“I was going to do it on my own.”

“Oops. Please?”

He smiled and approached me.

It seemed like he was making fun of it.

“Hey really. I was ashamed of all who heard it. How are you still listening to something like that?”

“That’s because I tried to solve it on my own.”

“Have you listened to all the swear words?”

Ganghwa-ryun clicked her tongue once, and then she passed her words to the Heuksanhoe and her clanmates.

“Uncles, I’m going to talk to him for a while.”

“Yes, lady.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be on my way to the appointed time.”

“Then let us go.”

Ganghwa-ryun’s uncles nodded her head once and then strode away.

“Anyway, this is how we all meet. We didn’t meet much at the gate, did we?”

“Yes.”

“Why is the reaction so slow? Oh, but aren’t you going to the park these days? How can I never see your face?”

“I’ve been pretty busy.”

“Yes, you must be busy. Because I joined the Lee Ji-hyeon clan.”

I blinked my eyes.

We haven’t officially established a clan yet.

But how does Ganghwa-ryun know that Ji-hyeon is forming a clan?

“Ha, really. What are those eyes Do I look deaf? If you are in this position, that much information comes in for granted, right?”

If you think about it, Ganghwaryeon is the actual successor of Heuksan Group.

She couldn’t be too strange even if she knew.

“Everyone was paying attention to Lee Ji-hyun’s sudden departure. I was wondering how I would behave after leaving the Sephiroth Clan.”

Ganghwa-ryun gulped down her candy and began a brief explanation.

“How many eyes are on Lee Ji-hyun? Because everyone who knows that he buys buildings these days and equips his clan, right?”

“Oh, sure.”

I scratched my cheek gently.

“Isn’t that why Lee Ji-hyun is forming a clan?” A rumor is going around that you and her are meeting often these days, right? Also, I often go in and out of the building Lee Ji-hyun bought.”

“No, you know that?”

“That’s the basics, the basics.”

She sighs as she snaps her fingers.

“Anyway, be really careful.”

Hwaryeon Gang grabbed the candy bar and pulled it out.

“If you stay by Lee Ji-hyun’s side, you will inevitably receive attention from many people, whether you like it or not.”

“Jihyun is so popular.”

It is a yard full of sasaeng fans.

“Hey, don’t listen lightly, listen carefully.”

“What?”

“Those who like Lee Ji-hyun and those who hate her. Be careful both of you.”

Those who like Jihyun and those who hate her…….

“First of all, Lee Ji-hyun has many enemies. You know that, right?”

“Well, that’s right. It must have gone through quite a few disputes to get to that position.”

“There will be people who have personal grudges, there will be people who just hate it, or there will be people who are aiming for Lee Ji-hyun’s name value. In any case, nothing much has happened so far. Do you know why?”

“Because there was a background called the Sephiroth Clan?”

“That’s right. One of the four major clans, the Sephiroth, served as Lee Ji-hyun’s strong background and fence.”

If a member of the Sephirot clan is attacked by another, thorough retaliation is applied.

That’s the only way to prevent needless mishaps.

“But Jihyun Lee left the Sephirot Clan, right? The fence to protect is gone.”

“But I heard that Jihyun is affiliated with Ilsung Group these days?”

“It’s an alliance, an alliance. You didn’t go directly under the Ilsung Group.”

“I don’t think so.”

I will receive some protection from Ilsung Group, but it is only a certain amount of protection.

“The stars of the stars who have been quiet up until now can attack you. Since ancient times, I have had many doubts about Lee Ji-hyun’s strength.”

“Didn’t he sink when he subdued the Twelve Eyes?”

“Hunters who were at the scene did that, but hunters who weren’t there still tend to be a bit suspicious. Lee Ji-hyun I thought it was a bubble.”

“Wow, that is absurd.”

“Because there are many people who don’t believe unless they see it with their own eyes.”

I clicked my tongue in my heart.

“To be honest, being a representative of a country at the age of mid-twenties is amazing, and since he was even given the title of top 10, controversy continues in many ways.”

“Really?”

“That’s why people who hate Lee Ji-hyun can argue. Just like them.”

I nodded.

“They must have just gotten an order from somewhere else. He must have scratched you to see your reaction.”

“And cut off the tail when things go wrong?”

“What, wouldn’t it?”

Ganghwa-ryun laughed and snorted at her.

“Anyway, be careful.”

“I know. Because I prepared myself.”

“Yes. You know you’ll do well Even if you lose your memory, you are strong.”

“It’s strong… ….”

That wasn’t entirely wrong.

She could be seen as belonging to the ranks of the strong with only Jihyun’s ability and buff nerf ability.

“And those who like Lee Ji-hyun are also a problem.”

Ganghwa-ryun, who briefly touched the tip of her red hair, continued her words while biting her mouth.

“Think about it. Why is one of the males attached to her by Lee Ji-hyun, whom she likes so much? It was quiet in the past, but these days the two of you often go around together. I know you guys are childhood friends, but aren’t you hanging around too much?”

Ganghwa-ryun muttered with her eyes a little dissatisfied.

“Anyway, you can froth at the mouth of Lee Ji-hyun’s sasaeng fans, so take care of yourself.”

“Sasaeng fans are a bit scary.”

I laughed bitterly.

But I didn’t worry too much.

As I just said, it is because we have already prepared to some extent.

Moreover, if I could get Jihyun’s help, that level of suffering wouldn’t matter.

“Anyway, thank you for your concern.”

“Ha…… Well, I’m not that worried…… I just said it while we met.”

Ganghwa-ryun turned her head away and she replied with a no-nonsense attitude.

But she could see that it was a little bit strange to see her glance at me while fiddling with the choker around her neck.

Huh? But what choker?

It looks a little familiar.

“A choker?”

“Ah, yes. What.”

He is tying his choker a little stronger.

“You lost your memory, so I don’t know, but you gave it to me as a gift.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Come to think of it, it sure looks familiar.

No, wait a minute.

I think I’ve seen that in a strange dream.

I don’t remember well, but I’m sure I put a choker on Kang Gang-ryun in my dream…… Uh?

“Ah! Sir, you are already here…….”

Yerin’s familiar voice soared into the air and then subsided.

“…… What?”

“…… You?”

Kang Hwaryeon and Ryu Yerin looked at each other.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Somehow, an unknown current passed by the two of them.
