247. End of Accompaniment
“You’re quitting your job as a bounty hunter now?”
“yes. I got tired of it and I want to concentrate on being a healer.”
“It’s good! Because you are a healer, not a hunter!”
After leaving Pastor Lewis’ mansion, Kang Seung-hyeon and Kim Ho-jeong roamed the Azul continent like ordinary adventurers.
“This time, I played the roulette wheel and picked out a new skill.”
“Oh, what skill is it?”
“....”
“You don’t have to show it, so just say it!”
In the meantime, Kang Seung-hyun acquired additional useful skills such as [Cure Judgment] and [Blood Sampling].
Now, with just a few tools, I think I can start a full-fledged yamae healer life.
“But is there a patient who wants to be treated by a healer who doesn’t even have a healer badge?”
“So, first of all, I’m going to target the common people who are hard to get treatment.”
“Oh something nice! Normal healers don’t pay, so commoners don’t even pay attention!”
“Adventurers, nobles, and commoners have the same points.”
“Is it because of the points?”
Now, there is no reason to obsess over making boring money to buy a scroll, and you can enjoy your hobby using your newly acquired skills.
“I did bounty hunting for money in the first place, killing people is not my taste.”
“Well then. I don’t mind killing people, no matter how bad they are.”
“Because I like insulting rather than killing.”
“huh?”
“It’s thrilling to imagine that the guys I ignored because they didn’t know how to heal are begging me to save them.”
“Uh huh... yes.”
Originally, I walked alone with my mouth shut, but now I walk while chatting with a colleague.
‘That’s not bad.’
How long has it been since I lived a life of chasing wanted criminals every day when I woke up and then chatting leisurely like this?
For Kang Seung-hyun, this leisurely moment wasn’t too bad.
“Ah, when I get to the village later... Wow!”
Of course, that composure was destroyed in less than a second. Kim Ho-jung, who was walking blindly, fell into a trap.
Fu-wook!
That, of course, was a trap set up for monsters.
“Are you okay?”
“...”
“Oh, he died instantly.”
While traveling together like this, for some reason, Kim Ho-jeong often fell into traps or was attacked by monsters, and there were also times when he died unluckily.
Parbat!
“%@■-▥’-&)!!!!!!!”
Of course, it was normal for Kim Ho-jung, who died right after that, to be resurrected as a black beast and go wild, but
“So, who wants to walk blindly?”
“■▶$#$&*!!!!”
“It’s your fault this time!”
“§※#@%$!!!!!”
Fuck!
puck!
Whenever that happened, Kang Seung-hyun suppressed it with force.
At first, they hit each other with the momentum to kill each other, but after repeating this about 3 times, they understood it even if it was roughly spoken.
“{Did I die again?}”
“{It happens often.}” “
{Sorry.... I will have to sleep on the street today because of me.}” “
{Let’s make it look like we’re going to sleep outside.}” “
{Yes, that’s right. ... Sleeping outdoors.}”
Then, when the black beast came to its senses, it wandered around the forest and mountains until its transformation was released.
“uh? Uh... that’s right.”
As promised, since I took Kim Ho-jung to my ex-colleague, there is no reason for the two of them to go together anymore.
‘It would be nice if Mr. Kang joined our party too. But the teacher likes to go alone, so he’ll refuse.’
Kim Ho-jeong was sad about breaking up with Kang Seung-hyeon, but he thought that there was no way a person who would be bothered by a two-person party could join a five-person party.
‘I’d like to have a 3-day, 2-night farewell party, but... Mr. Kang’s personality makes me want to leave as soon as possible at a time like this!’
Putting aside his regret, Kim Ho-jung smiled brightly and held out his hand.
“Thank you so much, sir! I don’t know if I’ll be able to repay this favor, but I’ll buy food first when I return to Earth!”
‘Am I not planning to live forever?’
Kang Seung-hyeon smiled as if he was dumbfounded and took out a sword from his inventory.
“Take it.”
“Huh? Are you giving this to me?”
“I blew a knife before.”
“Wasn’t that just a companion?”
“Then let’s take it as a parting gift.”
“I’ll write really well! How can I use this because it’s a waste!”
Kim Ho-jung shed tears of emotion as if he had never thought that he would receive a weapon.
For your reference, the knife that was presented at this time was said to have been strengthened and broken a month later.
“Goodbye, then.”
“See you again! You’re a healer, so don’t worry, but take care of yourself!”
“It’s Kim Ho-jeong.”
And just like the day he first landed on the Azul continent, he shouted to take care of himself and left with his new colleagues.
-‘Hmm.... It’s a bit disappointing.’
Left alone, Seunghyun Kang stood still.
No matter what, it was only natural that he was sad to part with him as he was the first colleague he had ever acknowledged.
It was because I hadn’t even thought that they would break up so suddenly as I forgot that it was a temporary companion in the first place.
‘If I go after him now and propose a formal party, Kim Ho-jung’s personality will cut the line and join me.’
You have three colleagues, but Mr. Kang is alone, so he must be lonely! The figure of Kim Ho-jung, who said goodbye to Tayurel and spread tears, was drawn in front of my eyes.
‘But it’s better not to catch someone who leaves.’
It’s a pity to break up, but he prefers to coolly let go and promise the next one rather than holding on to the person leaving.
So Kang Seung-hyeon did not catch Kim Ho-jung.
‘I’m not a person who dies easily, so I’m sure we’ll meet again someday.’
This is the second meeting, so there will be a third meeting as well. Kang Seung-hyun thought so and left.
‘By the way, we’ve only been together for three months, but it feels empty to go alone.’
To sum up my feelings right now, it feels like the radio that I’ve been talking about all day suddenly disappeared.
With time, I will get used to this sense of emptiness again, but I don’t want to do that now.
‘It wasn’t that bad to go out with a colleague... Now I’m looking for a new colleague.’
When Kang Seung-hyun later met Kim Ho-jung again, he wondered how he would react if he found out that he organized a party with his colleagues.
‘Well, there won’t be another person like Kim Ho-jung.’
This is the first year after falling on the Azul continent.
This is a story from about 2 years ago.
-“{...This is the end of the story.}”
And again inside the current Hind Village tent.
Kang Seung-hyun finished the story after a long reminiscence of the past.
“{This is the reason I went out with Kim Ho-jung. Are you curious now?}”
“{Too long!}”
Alec screamed at the same time.
“{I was told to elaborate.}”
“{I didn’t know it would take this long!}” “
{It’s only been 4 hours.}” “
{4 hours? It feels like two months have passed, right?}” “
{I guess it’s because of my mood.}”
Alec said nonsense, saying that it was four hours, like two months, and that the flashback was longer than his own, but Kang Seung-hyun didn’t care at all and drank in his glass. Followed.
