Chapter 52
ED: Cheerycheri
“I know it’s a little early, but could you apply your auxiliary skill to the Valkyrie members?”
“Of course.”
I nodded obediently and followed Song Cha-hyun. However, Sung Yoo-bin suddenly blocked our path and shouted.
“Then, I’ll be the first...!”Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com
“You’ll be the last, Leader.”
“Why...?!”
Sung Yoo-bin was dragged away by Han Yeo-reum and Cha Min Hee, each holding one of her arms. Seeing her struggling, I was a little confused. Who among the Valkyrie members would I apply my skill to first if not Sung Yoo-bin?
Considering her combat power, I thought Sung Yoo-bin would be the first, but it seemed that this was not the case. Song Cha-hyun who smiled bitterly led me to an unexpected person.
“You exchanged greetings with Hae Song-yeon on the ship, right?”
“Oh, yes..”
“...”
Hae Song-yeon, the tall younger sister of Hae Song-ha, looked at me with an unfriendly look. Then, she slightly bowed her head and spoke.
“Please take care of me.”
“Me as well.”
At first glance, I thought it was a formality to cast a single auxiliary skill, but then I realized that as a combatant, their life also depended on one or two auxiliary skills.
“First of all, you can apply the skill to the combatants with wide-range attack skills. We are planning to get out of Area 1 with a member who’s got an auxiliary skill at the forefront within an hour.”
“Understood.”
Wide-range skills, huh? I wonder what kind of skill it is? In the novel, the spotlight was only focused on the heroine, Sung Yoo-bin, so most of the other members’ abilities were not shown. No, they were almost non-existent in the novel. So I don’t know what kind of area-of-effect skill Hae Song-yeon has.
With a little sparkle in my eyes, I removed my gloves and reached out my hand.
When Hae Song-yeon, who was staring blankly at my hand, realized that it was necessary for me to cast my skill on her, she opened her mouth and let out a small “Ah” exclamation.
“I know it’s a little cumbersome, but I just need you to hold my hand for a moment.”
“Yes.”
Hae Song-yeon nodded her head and held my hand. I quickly cast the Catnip skill. Hae Song-yeon’s hands started to feel a little hotter than before.
“...!”
“It’s done.”
I let go of her hand because I thought it was enough. However, Hae Song-yeon still had a dazed expression and tightly held my hand. I looked at her with a confused expression.
“Hunter Hae Song-yeon?”
“Ah.”
Only then did Hae Song-yeon come to her senses and quickly let go of my hand. She coughed briefly with a slightly red face.
“Ahem, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine.”
I’m more sorry for the weird skill. I swallowed those words and stepped away from her. Hae Song-yeon looked at me seriously as she opened and closed her hands.
“How do you feel?”
“...”
“Do you feel a sudden boost in power or something?”
Han Yeo-reum asked bluntly as she approached. But Hee Sung-yeon said nothing, she just moved her hands a few times, and answered the question with the same bluntness.
“I’m not sure yet.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“You...”
“...?”
Thud! Thud!
Hae Song-yeon started to walk towards me. I felt a strange pressure as she, a large woman, suddenly started to approach me. I flinched and stared at her as she approached, she shouted with a flushed face.
“It was amazing!”
“...Yes?”
“I’ve never felt that way before! I mean, it was like riding a roller coaster...!”
“Song-yeon-ah!”
Hae Song-ha ran over to Hae Song-yeon who was excited like a child, and I took the opportunity to step back.
“Song-yeon-ah, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay.”
“Are you hurt? Should we call the healer?”
“No, I’m not really hurt.”
I felt the burdensome gazes of the siblings fall on me, which made me flinch involuntarily.
“Hunter Han Yi-jin-nim! Isn’t that such a great skill? I’ve never heard of such an auxiliary skill!”
“Ha-ha-ha...”
“I was wondering what kind of skill made the Odin Guild so boastful... Oh, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine...”
Well, Hae Song-yeon must have had a bad impression of me at first. Her gaze was already very cold to begin with.
Anyway, that wasn’t important. I opened my mouth to speak to Hae Song-yeon.
“Do you feel a bit tired or something? Suddenly losing the boost in power.”
“I definitely felt like my strength was drained after the skill duration ended, but I feel very refreshed and good. I feel like I just landed after skydiving!”

“Ohh...”
She went skydiving too? She really lived an active life. In any case, there didn’t seem to be many side effects for Hae Song-yeon. It seemed that Kang Yoo-hyun had more severe side effects. Maybe the higher the grade, the greater the recoil? I tilted my head and waited for the raid party to prepare. Who should I cast my skill on next? I had just sat down on the beach and had begun to wait for someone to call for me, when someone came running to me while waving a lot.
“Me next! Me, me, me!”
“Uh... hunter Han Yeo-reum?”
It was Han Yeo-reum, the Valkyrie’s deputy commander. She reached out to me with a big smile on her face.
“I look forward to working with you! Hunter Han Yi-jin!”
“Ah, yes.”
I immediately took off my gloves and held her hand. Her face was full of excitement and joy as she smiled brightly. As soon as I felt her hand getting a little hot like Hae Song-yeon’s did before, I immediately withdrew my hand.
“Hmm...?”
“...?”
Han Yeo-reum, who tilted her head, smiled strangely. As I looked at her in confusion, she turned her body around and shouted loudly.
“Alright! I’ll go farther than Hae Song-yeon!”
“...”
What kind of competition is this...
She soon raised a stick taller than her body and wielded it.
