73 – Climb the Tower (3)

“… ….”

Kang Hwa-ryun slowly scans Ye-rin’s face.

The pupil, reminiscent of that of a bird of prey, examines Yerin’s whole body.

Yerin blinked her eyes slightly as if she was a little embarrassed, and then she greeted her without thinking, looking at her with a real smile.

“You are Ganghwaryun Hunter, right? I heard a lot from my teacher.”

“My teacher?”

When she asked back as if she was a bit suspicious, Yerin shyly scratched her cheek with an ‘oops’ face.

“Seo-joon, her brother once took over her tutoring in the past. That’s why she calls her teacher.”

Ganghwa-ryun threw the stick of her finished lollipop into her garbage can and pulled out a new lollipop from her pocket.

She casually peeled off the plastic wrap and put it in her mouth.

She licked her lips nonchalantly, rolling her candy on her tongue.

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard your story several times. Yerin Ryu, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Oh sorry. I was still wearing shorts.”

“It’s okay. You are a teacher’s friend. I don’t mind if you say it comfortably.”

Yerin took her word for it.

Ganghwa-ryun scratched my cheek for a while, then glanced at my face once and gave her a side glance. Then she turned her gaze back to Yerin.

“You seem to be quite close with Han Seo-jun.”

“I’ve known you since long ago. Right, sir?”

Yerin smiled shyly and held onto my forearm as if to show off her closeness.

She couldn’t reveal to others that she was in a romantic relationship, so in this way she seemed to be in check.

Ganghwa-ryun looked at Ye-rin blankly and chewed on her candy.

She seemed a little displeased with Yerin’s appearance, but she put her displeasure to rest by lightly clicking her tongue.

“Looks like she’s trying to use the gate with Han Seo-jun. That’s right?”

“Yes. I organized a party with the teacher today. We decided to hunt the monster on the 4th floor together.”

Yerin answered honestly.

There were only a handful of people who could talk to Ganghwa-ryun in such a calm and weak way.

However, Yerin was continuing her conversation without thinking about it.

Maybe it’s because she grew up in a family with her last name when she was young.

She has a strong heart.

“Suddenly other party members will be coming. I have a friend named Joo Mina, and she went to the bathroom right now. Oh, it just happens to be over there.”

“Yerin! You asked me to wait a bit, you said you miss me, and you just left me…… ?”

Jumi I found me and Yerin and came running, but she suddenly turned white and gulped down her dry saliva with a puzzled look on her face.

“…… Ganghwaryun Hunter?”

She looked at Ganghwa-ryun with a slightly trembling voice.

Mina’s face was hardened like a plaster cast before she knew it.

She looks at me and Yerin alternately with restless eyes.

“Why is Ganghwaryun Hunter here?”

I feel sorry for Mina who is not in a hurry.

It seemed like I had heard quite a bit of notoriety about Kanghwaryun.

It looked like Yerin and I were worried that Ganghwaryeon had caught some kind of pod.

“Is Minaya here?”

I spoke to Mina quickly to calm her down.

Mina forced her neck, which creaked like her old cogs, to cast her gaze at me.

“Oh, yes. Brother. However… ….”

Mina glanced at Ganghwa-ryun as her horse shed her tail. It was quite frightening to see her pink hair quivering slightly.

“Don’t worry too much. He is my classmate.”

“Your brother’s friend?”

“Yes.”

She slowly nodded her head and gave her confirmation. Mina looked at Ganghwa-ryun with quite a surprised look.

It was hard to believe that he was friends with an S-rank hunter.

Even if I were like you, I would be quite surprised if an E-Rank Hunter Nabura proudly said that he was an S-Rank Hunter and a friend of the Heir of the Black Mountain Society.

But Mina must have known that she was already friends with Jihyeon, an S-rank hunter. .

“Why are you so surprised?”

“No, that…… You are Ganghwaryun Hunter.”

Mina glanced at Ganghwaryeon and cautiously approached and whispered in her ear.

“Minaya.”

I glanced at her fidgety Mina and patted her on the shoulder as if it were okay.

“Hwaryeon is an S-rank hunter and she is from Heuksanhoe, but there is no need to be too scared.”

“Is that so?”

Although Mina’s reaction was a bit excessive, I could fully understand her fear.

There is no Hunter on this floor who doesn’t know about the Heuksan Group.

As you can see from Park Seo-hyeok, who had just run away, Heuksanhoe was feared.

Even the countless hunters gathered around here were in a position to stand far away and glance at this side in order not to disturb Ganghwaryeon’s planting.

That’s why Heuksanhoe’s named value is beyond imagination.

Moreover, Ganghwa-ryun is an S-Rank Hunter who is promoted as the next president.

It was natural to be afraid of Ganghwa-ryun.

‘Come to think of it, I was quite afraid of Ganghwaryun when I was in school.’

No one touched her after Ganghwa-ryun ran afoul of her at her school.

The classroom was as quiet as a rat dying while lying on his desk during break time and taking a nap.

‘Well, later on, I knew Ganghwa-ryun wasn’t the type to bite anyone, so we got along just by saying hello.’

I looked back at her old memories and suddenly came to my senses, then I gave Ganghwa-ryun a glance.

Ganghwa-ryun, who had been standing in silence and sucking on her candy, smiled and nodded to her.

“Hello?”

“Ah, yes, yes. Hello, Ganghwa-ryun Hunter.”

A drop of cold sweat dripped down from Mina’s temple, who was greeted with a very nervous look.

I’ve never seen Mina so nervous.

I remember that she wasn’t like this when she met Jihyun, who is a strong 10 and an S rank hunter.

“Don’t be afraid, speak comfortably.”

“Yes, I will. Ganghwaryun Hunter.”

“Why don’t you drop that bastard’s ‘nim’?”

“Sorry, sorry.”

Ganghwa-ryun laughed mischievously, and Mina handed her an apple, sweating profusely as if she were sitting on a needle cushion.

He. I think you’re doing that on purpose.

I need to relieve Mina’s breath.

“If you say that, Mina will speak comfortably. Right?”

“Why me?”

“Can’t you see how uncomfortable I am with you? Look at his face I’m tired of being white.”

“Wow…… What did I do?”

Ganghwa-ryun shrugged her shoulders.

To be honest, I’m not that friendly with Ganghwa-ryun, but she knew very well that she wouldn’t hurt me, so she was able to talk a little more boldly.

First of all, Ganghwaryun and I are friends.

And, well, a false engagement.

“Right. Hwalyeon sister. Aren’t you bothering our Mina too much?”

“Oh, really. Because I knew. Whew. There is no one on my side.”

Yerin appropriately provided support fire.

She didn’t seem to be afraid of Ganghwa-ryun even as much as snow mucus.

Come to think of it, she had a bloody argument with Jihyun the other day. I forgot. What if you could talk back to Jihyun? ….

“Anyway, your name is Mina? Am I right? What is your last name?”

“Note…… My name is Mina.”

“Juminara…… Oh, yes. Are you a party to the shock incident? I think I saw it on the news?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Hmm. I see.”

Ganghwa-ryun licked her lips for a moment and rolled her green eyes.

“Before the tentacles appeared. I know it was pretty late. What were you two doing in the park?”

“Yes?”

“No. Just what Don’t worry about what I said.”

Ganghwa-ryun averted her gaze for a moment, then said as if she didn’t care.

“Anyway, don’t make me feel too uncomfortable. It’s not like I’m eating it.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Ahahahaha, ha.”

Mina nodded her head and smiled awkwardly.

That awkward smile was often seen when Mina was in trouble or embarrassed.

“By the way, Hwaryeon-ah.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Are you okay with your appointment time?”

“What appointment time?”

“Didn’t you talk about the appointment time with your clan members earlier? Can I stay here?”

“What? Do you want to let me go like that?”

Because Mina is so uncomfortable.

“Yeah, okay, okay. What am i going to do?”

Ganghwa-ryun licked her candy lightly.

“Anyway, another article will come out on this.”

“It bothers me.”

When I said to myself, she said Ganghwa-ryun was right, while she responded she responded.

“Being friends with E-Rank Hunter Han Seo-Jun and S-Rank Ganghwa-Ryun on the Internet?! Isn’t that what the article says?”

Kang Hwa-ryun spat out nonsensical words and giggled.

“I am not a celebrity. The paparazzi bastards are writing all the star stories. In my mind, it’s very clear.”

“It doesn’t sound like a joke when you say that.”

A few hunters who had been listening to us at a distance shuddered.

Ganghwa Ryeondo She raised the tail of her grin as if she knew that fact.

“Anyway, I’ll go. But are you really not coming to the park?”

“If you go there, it’s not okay because you’ll get trauma on your skin.”

“Trauma sucks.”

Hanghwaryeon smiled lightly with a pick and soon glanced at Yerin and Mina.

“Hello everyone.”

“Yes, sister. See you next time.”

“Go in, Ganghwa-ryun sister.”

Yerin shook her hand boldly, and Mina lowered her head with a trembling voice.

“Oh right. Really. I almost forgot.”

“Huh?”

Then, Ganghwa-ryun suddenly stopped her steps.

“Hey, I have a few things to tell you. Give me some time later.”

“Good. Neither do I.”

“Really? Well, anyway, I’ll call you next time I have time, so pick up the phone. If I don’t take it, will I really die?”

“How many times do you have to say that I can’t hear you as a joke when you say it?”

“Isn’t that a joke?”

He is talking bloody things.

“Anyway, I’m really going. See you later.”

Kang Hwa-ryun touched the choker once and left.

I slowly looked at Ganghwaryeon’s back.

Every time she took her step, the hunters around her sneaked away, and she noticed.

Her hunters breathed a sigh of relief as Ganghwa-ryun completely disappeared from her sight before she knew it.

‘Is it because of rumors that Ganghwa-ryun is being purged these days? People around me are overreacting.’

As I was thinking that, Yerin grabbed my sleeve.

“Teacher, teacher.”

“Uh, huh? Why is that, Yerin?”

“You look very close with Hwaryeon unnie.”

“First of all, we are classmates. We met a few times.”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

Yerin answered while killing her red eyes.

Hey, why are your eyes like this again?

Light up your eyes.

“Hualyeon unnie is very pretty. Yes?”

“Why. Are you jealous?”

“No, sir. Why would I be jealous of your friend?”

He whined slightly and averted his gaze.

“…… Just what.”

Yerin lowered her voice and whispered quietly.

“I think Hwalyeon unni is very kind to the teacher.”

It was Yerin who looked at the back of her after Ganghwa-ryun had left.
