Chapter 252

Episode 252

After much tidying up and wearing a dress, Cheet sat down at the table. Sitting across from him was none other than Claw taking off his mask.

“Is this a restaurant where the price of a single meal is in the triple digits? Did you gild the food?”

Unfamiliar with such high-end restaurants, Cheet looked around and joked why they were so expensive.

However, I couldn’t hear it as a joke when the really gold dusted scallops came out.

“Oh, you really nailed it. Hehe...”

Took.

When the menu came up, Chloe took off her mask. The villains of Rebellion looked like ordinary women in suits and dresses.

In particular, the appearance of Cheet, who was heavily decorated with makeup, was too far from his usual sloppy appearance.

Even if you sit quietly at the table, it draws the attention of the people around you. Perhaps because of that, a tall man who had been watching cheats approached the table.

“I fell in love at first sight. If you don’t mind...”

“Huh? me?”

Cheet looked at Chloe at the man’s words. Look at this. Are you still eating me? A cheat that proudly points a finger at itself with a reaction.

Feeling uncomfortable, Chloe frowned as if it was annoying. The man seemed unable to read Chloe’s uncomfortable expression. Cheet laughed in a voice that is not usually heard- and said while looking at the man.

“Ah~ I’m a hacker so I can’t give you my contact information~ I’m a really scary villain! Do you have a wanted bounty?”

“You are an interesting person. Then, if I want to know the contact number, can I check the wanted flyer?”

“Oh, it’s not written there.”

The man seemed to take the words of cheat that he was the villain as a joke. A friendly atmosphere as if you were on a date. Feeling uncomfortable, Claw gestured toward the man.

“Come closer to me.”

Tick tock.

Despite Claw’s rude gestures, which were black but moving, the man approached without much resistance.

“Ah yes! Both of you are really beautiful. If you don’t mind, I’d recommend sitting in seat B.”

Beauty is like a flower that gives off a fragrance, and it has the power to break down the opponent’s defenses.

Of course, it was natural that the man did not know what he was going to do in a restaurant in broad daylight.

“No, closer.”

Claw leaned back in the chair and gestured for her to come closer.

“Ah yes!”

The man strode towards Chloe. He seemed to think of Claw’s behavior as an approach to a relationship.

However, it was already too late when she approached, enchanted by the scent of a beautiful flower. What Claw was hiding wasn’t just a stinging thorn.

Took.

Chloe grabbed the man’s wrist.

The man seemed taken aback by Claw’s sudden action, but it was only for a moment.

Dig!

A man who quickly becomes dust when his wrist is grabbed.

“kid! I quite liked it. He told me to calm down when he saw me! You are more extreme than me!”

Cheet made a cheeky sound, but calmly replied to Claw, who killed a person in an instant.

“It was a problem to look at for a long time. My identity might have been discovered, so I just dealt with it.”

“I am playing. Aren’t you mad that he talked to me and not you?”

Cheet raised a fork and picked up the temple with a disapproving face. Then he chewed the scallops of clams sprinkled with gold leaf. Claw, on the other hand, dignifiedly cut his temples with a knife.

“The interest of anyone other than the captain means nothing to me.”

Cheet looked at the dust next to the table that was once a person and clicked his tongue.

“Ah, poor human. The fact that I am so attractive as a woman has offended the crow.”

That’s when cheats pity the poor man. An employee came in with someone.

“Seat C is this table.”

Alternately.

Whose hand did Ryujin, her older brother, take to cure her disease? But there was nothing Liu Ming could do.

“...yes.”

“Frightened. It’s a joke, it’s a joke~”

For now, all he could do was nod his head in compliance with Cheet’s words.

Gaon’s waiting room.

Adela looked at Sumire as she sipped her tea and felt familiar yet nostalgic. Is it because of the realization that he has returned to Gaon?

“This is a cookie that Velvet and I made ourselves. Velvet told Adela to tell her when she met her. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Making cookies for Adela in a foreign country. Velvet’s kind heart was something that Adela didn’t have.

‘Obviously...’

Kind Sumire and Shin Yoo-seong with a deep heart.

sniffling.

Adela moistened her lips with Sumire’s black tea and took a bite of Velvet’s cookie. It hadn’t been that long since they had been apart, but Adela felt very missed.

“...Sumire.”

Adela called to Sumire.

Until a while ago, they did everything they could to eliminate each other, but now they were enjoying dessert in the same place.

“yes? Did you call?”

Sumire, who was bringing the cookie to her mouth, raised her head. Adela looked at Sumire’s face gently.

dumb dumb.

An embarrassing confrontation situation where only looking at each other’s faces.

“you. I missed you.”

However, Sumire’s cheeks blushed for no reason at the sight of Adela speaking so seriously that her face would heat up.

“Eh... me too.”

“Is Velvet doing well?”

“sure! Velvet talked a lot about Adela! Every day, they ask when they’re coming, and when they do, it’s like we should do something together...”

Adela smiled at the story Sumire told about Velvet.

“okay.”

For Adela, more than half a year since entering Gaon has been a journey to become a stronger hunter. Then why did he have to be strong?

Louise’s revenge was completed by her grandfather, Aden. Adela, who had already lost all of her family, could not find a reason.

It was because I could feel the sense of being alive for a moment, my heart beating in the midst of an urgent battle, just becoming stronger without purpose.

But now Adela was able to answer that question.

There are many people in the world, many stories, and many dangers. The hunter that Adela now dreams of is a hunter who becomes strong for herself and them.

It was enough for her to wait in the biting cold for her parents who would not return.

No one in the world wanted to suffer like that anymore, even if it wasn’t their co-workers or family.

So let’s cultivate the strength to prevent the tragedy that will come.

‘For these people.’

For parents who are forever frozen to protect themselves. For Aden, who still only cares about himself.

and for yourself.

‘More of the world....’

Risk-free.

Full of beautiful stories.

‘Let’s change it to a nice place.’

That was Adela’s newly acquired mindset as a Hunter.
