Chapter 8

Pardon? Wait, what? What are you getting me?

“Yes?”

“I’ll give you an S-class weapon.”

I thought there was something wrong with my ears, but they seem to be fine. Seora was bewildered.

“Me? An S-class weapon for me, who can’t even use a gun properly?”

“I think I can be reassured if you have it. Even if you can’t activate it, it’s already very strong. You can just swing it around.”

“That, um...”

Just being thrown into a dungeon once has given me a lot of experience.

Seora glanced up at her most eccentric opponent.

‘Well, compared to what the administrator has given me, this doesn’t feel much.’

[Administrator: (❁≡◡ ˬ ◡≡))))]

‘It’s shy, It’s definitely shy.’

I’ve seen it show off and get excited, but I’ve never seen it so shy like that. Seora smiled softly at the way the administrator was acting cutely.

However, Song Hanna, who knew nothing, took that smile differently.

“That’s right! It’s nice just thinking about it, isn’t it? Alright, let’s go pick one right away. Ugh, I’m so relieved now.”

Tsk, tsk. I should’ve done this earlier. Hannah, who was brimming with happiness, grabbed Seora’s hand and jumped up from her seat.

Seora just smiled at the administrator, but she was suddenly dragged away. Huh? she questioned with a loud voice.

But the aunt, already blinded by her love for her niece, dragged her to the arsenal in the basement of the association without listening.

***

There was a saying.

In essence, a person’s heart was different when entering and leaving the bathroom.

The analogy was a bit different, but anyway, Seora also changed her mind in an instant as soon as she entered the arsenal.

“Oh my gosh. How much is this all worth?”

Weapons emanating savage spirits.

There was a pile of very expensive things that were hard to buy even if you packed a lot of gold.

‘As expected, the arsenal dedicated to the president of the association is different.’

The association always had weapons on hand just in case. Of course, Awakened-only weapons were so expensive that most of them were only C-class or lower consumable weapons.

However, that did not seem to apply for Song Hanna, the president of the nation’s number one association, who had signed a contract with the top-ranking Entity in the world.

As someone who could hold any weapon, her arsenal was littered with S-class weapons that could only be seen on the Internet.

“You said you didn’t want it, but you love it when you see it, right?”

Song Hanna gently wiped the bottom of Seora’s chin. Oops. Without realizing it, her desires must have been leaking out of her mouth.

“What weekend of weapon do you want? Actually, considering your characteristics, guns are right, but...”

Song Hanna blurred out the end of her words...

In fact, Seora had never held a proper gun even though she had developed the characteristics of a shooter.

Since ordinary bullets could not penetrate the hard shells of monsters, the Awakened use special firearms that converted magic energy into bullets, but the problem was that Seora’s magic power was insufficient.

She’d run out of mana even just from shooting three bullets of a D-class gun.

‘I have an EX-class diamond weapon in my hand right now.’

There was no such reversal in life. Seora pressed down her excitement inside and slowly began to look around.

“This is heaven.”

Maybe it was because she had developed the sniper trait, just looking at the firearms filled her heart.

‘Wow, that revolver is really cool. Huh, isn’t that the gun that’s just been successfully crafted specially for the Awakened? Wah, President. You’ve gotten your hands on it already. There’s also a machine gun. It must feel good when it’s filled with bullets.’

The more she looked at each one, the more snot came out of Seora’s nose.

“You can be happier. Because you are the first F-class to choose weapons from the arsenal dedicated to the president of the association. Isn’t this the heart of an aunt who loves her niece?”

Although not her biological child, she was a nephew whom she cherished so much that ir hurt whenever she was not in sight. And that very same child had almost died.

Had it not been for this position where she had a lot to protect, she would have beaten the damn bastard to death.

So it must be checked.

Is Seora really safe?

“‘The Greedy Predator’. How did Yoon Seura look in my Entity’s eyes?”

As the name suggested, the Entity, who was satisfied only when it had eaten everything it wanted, answered.

[‘The Greedy Predator’ doesn’t want to lie to the contractor. ‘The Greedy Predator’ chooses silence.]

“... Silence?”

It was an unexpected reaction. What happened to the being who didn’t have any qualms as the highest Entity today?

“I never thought I’d see you choose silence. Is that your choice? Or is it inevitable?”

[‘The Greedy Predator’ sweats.]

“So you are being forced to comply. Whoa, that’s amazing. What the hell happened to my niece?”

[It seems that ‘The Greedy Predator’ has said too much. Any more than this will put it in a difficult position.]

“I don’t care about you being in trouble.”

[‘The Greedy Predator’ understands, but it really can’t say more than that.]

Hanna frowned at the unsatisfactory answer.

Doesn’t this mean that Seora has such a huge influence that even a top Entity is forced to shut up? She really didn’t like this situation.

“Is Seora in a dangerous situation right now?”

If so, I will secure my niece’s safety at any cost.

The moment when Hanna made a firm resolve.

[‘The Greedy Predator’ shakes its head with a frown. Far from dangerous, it tells that she is in a very safe situation.]

“Safe? Not just safe, but very safe?”

She’s very safe despite such an influence. Then there’s only one thing I could guess.

Perhaps Seora has made a contract with a certain Entity in the dungeon.

And a top-grade one on top of that.

‘Of course I already know that’s impossible, but there are always exceptions.’

If so, I have only one question.

Why doesn’t she tell me the truth?

“... Well, now that she’s an adult, there’s no way she has to tell me everything. I’ll have to pretend I don’t know for a while. I gave her an S-class weapon, so if something happens, she can take care of herself. Aww, this Auntie’s insides are burning.”

Our Seoraseora, what the hell are you going through right now?

***

And around that time.

The niece Yoon Seora, who had no idea that Song Hanna was burning with worries, was quite excited.

Her curious eyes captured the cracks in front of her.

Right now, Seora was standing in front of a crack that was about to burst into a dungeon. If Song Hanna had known, she would have grabbed the back of her neck.

Seora, completely unaware of this, clenched her weapon in both hands.

In her right hand was the EX-class weapon Hit, and in her left hand was the S-class weapon that Hanna had just given her today.

“I have diamonds on both hands.”

Her confidence that she could smash anything in front of her surged.

So she ran into the dungeon. She couldn’t learn how good her newly acquired weapon was without checking right away.

In addition, she needed to know more clearly how strong she had become.

“Administrator-nim, is it really possible to control this gate? It’s over for me if people come in.”

[Administrator: (•̀▽ ́•)φ]

Looking at the confident emoticon, she felt a little less anxious.
