Chapter 77

"Then let's exchange our contact information."

"Wow, thank you!"

Yuna Yuna handed me her phone with a happy expression. I entered my number and gave her mine as well. The contacts on my phone were slowly filling up. It gave me a strange feeling to see Han Yi-jin's once dull relationship around him changed because of me.

"Yi-jin-ah! Are we going back to our accommodation now?"

"Huh? Yeah, that's right."

Eden approached and stood beside me. His light blue pants and jacket matched his pink hair perfectly. I admired him inwardly as I looked at Eden.

"Hyung, I'm going with you too."

Kang Soo-hyun also took several photos for his profile to be posted on the guild website while he was at the studio. His mint-coloured hoodie matched his light brown hair superbly.

These people were handsome enough to be considered celebrities, and their faces shine when they have make-up on. Han Yi Jin's visuals shouldn't be overlooked either, but I felt intimidated for no reason.

“I have to go change my clothes."

"You can just go like this."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Kang Soo-hyun nodded and smiled broadly. I can't believe they just give me an expensive-looking outfit like this. As expected, the Odin Guild was very generous.

"Then we'll be off. Yuna Yuna-ssi."

"Ah, yes."

Yuna Yuna, who had been dazed for some reason, suddenly regained her composure and stared at me. Her big eyes were sparkling uncomfortably perhaps because she was wearing lenses.

"I think this video is going to be a big hit!”

"Ah, yes..."

“I’m worried that Hunter Han Yi-jin-nim and the others will become so famous that you all will be unreachable."

"Haha, that's unlikely."

‘I don't know, but don't worry, you'll still be involved with Kang Yoo-hyun.' I couldn't say that directly, so I just laughed awkwardly.

"I will definitely appear on Yuna Yuna's channel again next time."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes."

Yuna Yuna seemed genuinely delighted by my words. After all, her popularity would increase greatly with this video, and she would officially sign an exclusive contract with the Odin Guild, so I wasn't just saying empty words.

This time, no matter what happened, I would ensure that Yuna Yuna's episode would progress according to the original story.

I glanced at Kang Yoo-hyun, who had changed into his casual clothes. Covered his neck with a black turtleneck, Kang Yoo-hyun looked at me with indifferent eyes.

"Han Yi-jin."

"Uh, huh?"

"..."

Why is he looking at me like that? Kang Yoo-hyun's gaze fell on my neck. Remembering what happened earlier, I clutched the collar of my shirt as if to protect my neck.

"Hu...”

"Ah, what's wrong with you?"

I frowned, and Kang Yoo-hyun let out a long sigh.

Yuna Yuna, who was observing the situation, spoke to me.

"That... Is he really okay?"

“Yes, that bas... No, he was always like that."

I forced a smile to reassure the surprised Yuna Yuna. She seemed worried we would fight.

As for fighting, I was just a humble nobody who could easily get killed if Kang Yoo-hyun was in a bad mood and swung his fist once. A deep sigh came from deep within my lower stomach.

"Let's go back."

"Uh, yeah."

I nodded involuntarily in response to Kang Yoo-hyun's curt words. As I followed Kang Yoo-hyun, I waved to Yuna Yuna one last time and she waved back at me with a bright smile on her face, then I glanced at Kang Yoo-hyun, who had an expressionless face.

He was intimidating, so I decided to be more careful in the future. With that in mind, I followed behind Kang Yoo-hyun.

Gigi Bebe: I've never seen Kang Yoo-hyun in casual clothes before! He's so cool!

So Hot: Did Han Yi-jin grease his mouth? He is a smooth talker.

└Neo: Yeah. He has good chemistry with Yuna-u1.

└Resident: @Neo If you watch the video, Yuna-u is very awkward when talking to other people and her face is stiff, but she only smiles brightly when talking to Han Yi-jin.

└Sun GO: @Resident Oh, you're right. Seriously, hahaha. I'm surprised she's so close to Han Yi Jin.

└Goodbye: @Resident It's inevitable that hunters other than Han Yi-jin spoke crudely hahaha.

└Universe: @Goodbye Spoke crudely LOL.

Exhausted after the shoot, I went to bed early. The next morning when I checked the video posted on YouTube—

"What's with this crazy number of views..."

It hadn't even been a day since the video was uploaded and it had over a million views, and the number of comments continued to rise.

When I looked at the comments, I realised that they were mostly from Koreans, but as time went on, I started to see a lot of foreigners commenting as well.

It could be because Yuna Yuna has a lot of international fans, but still, the proportion of alphabets in the comments is higher than other videos. What if people all over the world saw it and it reached hundreds of millions of views?

"Haha, no way..."

I shook my head and turned off my phone. I watched the video but couldn't read every comment because there were too many to read them all.

"Yong-sik, let's eat."

"Kkyau!"

I took out the green magic stone and called out to Yong-sik. After I cleared the Sæ dungeon and received generous rewards, I managed to collect high-quality magic stones.

I crushed it and scattered them on the Yggdrasil's branches, and Yong-sik sniffed at them. Then, enthusiastically, he began to gnaw on the powder and Yggdrasil's branches.

"Ah, right."

I suddenly remembered the Yggdrasil’s Essence I received as a reward from the Sæ Dungeon. If I use that, I could get the data that Yong-sik was trying to give me.

"Hmm, should I give it a try?"

I muttered and took out the Yggdrasil’s Essence from my inventory. There was a light blue glow in the round glass ball that was slightly smaller than a fist. I felt strangely comforted when I saw it.

[Yggdrasil’s Essence (L)

A crystal containing the essence of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Permanently bound item.]

"Kkyau?"

Yong-sik, who was chewing the remaining branches with his fangs, approached curiously. I brought the Yggdrasil’s Essence close to Yong-sik.

"Is this how I do it?"

"Kkyauu."

Yong-sik opened his violet eyes wide and stared at the Yggdrasil’s Essence. His mouth was agape as he stared at the cerulean light shimmering within the glass ball.

"Uwah!"

I let go of the Yggdrasil’s Essence in surprise. Yong-sik jumped and bit it, and gulped it down.

"You—you eat it?"

"Burp."

I was quite bewildered, but Yong-sik burped with a satisfied expression on his face.

That... Is it okay to eat that? It's not dangerous for his body, right? Surely, the essence from the tree wouldn't harm a dragon, right?

I looked at Yong-sik worriedly, and soon a white light radiated from Yong-sik's body.
