126 Dad's too strong. Episode 125.

a residential complex in Seongbuk-dong

within a mere 3,000 pyeong of land there

There was a large detached house with a large garden.

A luxurious building that can only be seen in dramas.

It was the facility of Icarus guild, one of the four guilds.

"Turn it off."

A woman stretched herself out of bed.

Long straight hair, sharp nose, and cute lips.

Big eyes that you can see with a blink and long eyelashes.

She makes you feel like a beauty at a glance.

It was Han Min-ji, the 10th-ranked S-class hunter who will turn 23 this year.

Tuk tuk.

Open your smartphone.

Saturday, 7:26 in the morning.

And after checking the text messages that I exchanged with Dojun.

Han Min-ji walked to the frame on her desk.

A family photo of a couple in their early 40s and a girl in their early teens.

It was the "last" family picture taken with her parents when she was 13 years old.

She stroked the frame carefully and gave a bitter smile.

knock, knock

Someone knocks on the door.

Miss, are you up?

If you open the door.

A middle-aged man in a suit has been baptizing.

"Good morning. The janitor."

"How would you like your meal?"

"I have an appointment today, so I'll have it separately."

"Yes, sir."

Today

It's the day I'm supposed to meet Dojun.

***

10 a.m.

Seoul Olympic Grand Park.

Dojun was sitting in front of the bench in front of the fountain.

I glanced at my wristwatch and looked around.

Is it because of the sunny weather?

"Honey, let's take a picture."

"Oppa! Shall we go over there?"

"Look at this. The flowers are in full bloom!"

Even if you look around here, it's a couple.

Even if you look around, you'really.

The smiles of young people showing off their youth did not fade.

"Do you know Han Min-ji?"

"Oh. I'm telling you!"

A woman ran towards Dojun.

Dojun stopped in front of the bench where he was sitting and took a breath.

Short jeans.

A white short-sleeved T-shirt.

Even though it's a simple fashion that's nothing special.

The existence of Han Min-ji stood out enormously in many ways.

Dojun checks the current time once again.

10:02 a.m.

"I'm 32 minutes late.

"......Sorry, I'm sorry. Officer in charge."

Even though I woke up early in the morning.

As I prepared slowly, I missed my appointment for 30 minutes.

Han Min-ji seemed really sorry and was at a loss.

The upper body is bent, so the shoulder part of the shirt flows slightly down, showing the bra strap slightly.

Swoosh.

Dojun stands up.

said, lifting up her shirt.

"In fact, I just got here, so don't worry."

Han Min-ji looks at Do-jun blankly.

Raising a shirt, just coming.

He was surprised by the fact that he took care of him with great care of him.

"......thank you."

Dojun was born in Olympic Park.

over 50 meters high

He stared at the cracks that were controlled by a fault.

A grade-A major crack, which occurred a few days ago.

Despite the rise of the A-class rift, people were enjoying the holiday as if nothing had happened, due to the belief that monsters could not come out due to the security flaw.

Ten years later, they became accustomed to cracks and became insensitive to safety.

"Today ... ... thank you very much. It's been a long time since you've been here.…

a cave in a prenatal snake

covered with poisonous thorns all over one's body

A-class monster with a huge build, where the taego snake lives.

Ten years ago, it was a monster that killed Han Min-ji's parents.

"I had nothing to do anyway."

Dojun said gravely.

This was also a lie.

I was originally going to go to work to handle the backlogs, but.

Han Min-ji, who usually ran to me when I asked for a favor, asked me a favor, so I had no choice but to help.

'Traumara...'.'

Ten years ago, she told a prenatal snake that she had lost her parents.

Become a hunter with it, so that no one like you can come out.

He became an S-class hunter by working harder than anyone else.

When he stood in front of a prenatal snake, he said he had a trauma that prevented his body from moving.

Swoosh.

Do-jun looks at the suit case she brought.

Then he looked at the crack and saw Han Min-ji shaking slightly with her fists clenched.

'Just because I'm around doesn't mean the trauma goes away.'

Taegobam is an A-class monster.

Even if you don't have to bring yourself.

It was a level of difficulty enough to be punished if I brought in Icarus guild members.

'By the way.'

Why

without telling anyone else

Just stay by my side. I'll hunt.

A few days ago.

heard over the telephone

I recalled her voice full of tremors.

at a glance

[One handmade toast for 4,000 won!]

food trucks lounging on the park road

said Dojun pointing there.

"Let's get something to eat first."

***

A well.

a brownish crispy crust of toast

Inside, there was topping with sweet sauce such as ham, lettuce, egg, cheese, etc.

I took a bite and it melted down on my tongue even though I didn't chew it a few times.

"It's delicious."

Dojun and Han Minji were sitting side by side on the bench.

Han Min-ji smiles happily while eating toast.

But. Maybe he didn't realize it. There was a sauce around his mouth.

"Hunter. Hold on."

Dojun picked up some tissues and wiped the sauce off her mouth.

And Dojun eats toast looking at the scenery of the park as if nothing had happened.

Han Min-ji said, staring blankly at such Dojun.

"Director."

"Yes."

"Don't be nice to any woman. My future girlfriend won't like it very much."

There was a moment of silence.

At that moment, Han Min-ji realized that she made a slip of the tongue.

It was time to apologize to Dojun.

"Mr. Hunter."

Do-jun looked at Han Min-ji and said in a dry manner.

"For me, she's no woman."

"......yes?"

Han Minji's face after hearing that.

It turned red, and showed signs of embarrassment.

Is this a confession?

"Well, what does that mean, what does that mean?"

" Literally."

Han Min-ji, who soon turns red.

I had a good feeling about Dojun.

It wasn't a feeling of love, it was a feeling of respect or envy.

But I can't believe you made such a sudden confession.

As soon as I was thinking about how to answer.

"We're not strangers."

Dojun answered with a big smile.

Han Min-ji smiled awkwardly.

"Yes... ..yes."

A sigh came out.

Do-joon is not interested in romance at all in the first place.

What did he expect?

***

Among hunters, the prenatal snake was known as a very difficult monster to deal with.

When I got close, I fired a powerful paralytic thorn, and then swallowed an opponent who couldn't move in one bite, or melted it by injecting the venom from his molars.

That's the end of the deal.

So before Hunters deal with monsters with paraplegic venom, such as pythons.

Coating the suit with a 'poisonous potion' was a must.

an iron puck

Han Min-ji, which is filled with transparent and mucous ingredients, applies a "poison-resistant potion" on top of the suit.

On the other hand, Do-jun ended up with a short-sleeved T-shirt, cotton pants and sneakers that showed his skin, not to mention a suit.

"I'm sure you'll be fine.?"

Han Min-ji asked with a worried look.

Because it was himself who asked me to go to the cave with him.

I wanted to prevent any mishaps as much as they did.

"You're going to hunt anyway."

"......but if you're next to him, he could get hurt."

"It won't happen."

an impervious subject

It means that all kinds of venom are immune.

In the midfield, it was a state of legend only.

In the case of Dojun, he actually entered the Mandokbulb system, and no extreme poison was harmed by the body.

Of course, Han Min-ji could not have known the fact.

"But do I really just have to stay by your side?"

"Yes. That's......... I think it'll be okay."

A cave of a placenta snake;an entrance.

Normally, I get nervous.

The memory of 10 years ago suddenly came to me.

I'm sure he's out of breath and can't breathe properly.

Strangely, however, the fact that Dojun was next to him calmed down.

'Why is that?'

It was not just a matter of strong and non-existent Dojun.

Just watching from the side, just being by your side.

The trauma seemed to disappear with fear.

Does she feel this way every day?'

Suddenly

Seol Yoon-hee, who is with Do-joon, came to mind.

Han Min-ji said, "I really envy Seol Yoon-hee."

I've always felt it.

"Office, I'm leaving now."

"Yes. Don't strain yourself."

Throbbing.

in a dark cave

Han Min-ji carefully stepped forward, spraying the light stones she brought with her.

A small, glowing artifact that is the size of a baby nail.

It was a necessity in such a dark stage dungeon.

Smooth.

I hear something dragging on the floor.

Inside the cave, which was subtly revealed by the light stone.

I began to see a large snake with dense spines that looked like an anaconda.

Flinching.

Han Min-ji's body shrank.

Facing the Taegobam directly, the nightmare of 10 years ago seemed to come to mind for a moment.

But it was just that.

"Kieeeeee!"

The Taegobam roars.

Whether he sensed danger to an enemy in front of him.

He put up a lot of his sunken body's thorns.

Yap!

Soon, a thorn stuck in his body was fired at Han Min-ji.

However, the suit became slippery due to the mucous content of the toxic potion, so the thorns couldn't penetrate and escaped.

Quaquaqua!

The sword and steel rose from Han Min-ji's sword like an explosion.

Bam!

as if performing a stunt

Han Min-ji, who runs on the side of the cave wall, kicks off the wall and flies to the prenatal snake.

The attack on the thorns of the Taegobam was just stuck on the wall.

Schrack!

A test of parabola, leaving behind a remnant.

The figure looked similar to that of the half-moon.

It was the moment when Han Min-ji's unique awakening skill, Moon Slash, was expressed.

Boom boom!

Two bodies of the Taego snake, which had been cut into two halves, jumped on the floor.

And for a few seconds, the green blood that came out of the prenatal snake's body soaked the floor.

The prenatal snake had lost its breath and was no longer moving.

"......I did it."

as if unbelievable

Han Min-ji murmured at the sight of the dead Taego snake.

He caught a python that was hard to look at because of the trauma.

"You did it, officer in charge!"

Do-jun approached Han Min-ji and said,

'Congratulations.'

"It's all thanks to you."

"I haven't done anything."

"You've been by my side by side."

We've only got one now.

I can't believe you're so dejected.

Dojun smiled and stroked her hair.

"Director... ...hand...…."

Han Min-ji said, staring blankly at Dojun.

Dojun thinks she hates it.

I hit my hand on the head.

No, I was going to take it off.

Thick.

Don't let go of Dojun's hand.

Han Min-ji murmured, grabbing her wrist.

"Just a little more... ...Please pat me."
