Episode 115
“Hey… … . “It’s much bigger and nicer than my studio apartment.”
Bisu keeps looking around with exclamations of exclamation.
A chartered plane by the world’s largest organization, WHPO (World Hunter Protection Organization).
Not only the size of the interior, but also the luxurious interior and various amenities made everyone excited.
“I never thought I would fly on a WHPO charter flight in my lifetime… … .”
Even though Yuk Cheol-wan was sweating, he could not hide his smile.
The energy from the buff he received today seemed to still be bothering him.
If possible, it would be great to infuse healing abilities into it, but unfortunately, that is not possible right now.
Yuk Cheol-wan’s own ether and Bisu’s buffs are already mixed, and if my energy is added, the operation of ether will be completely disrupted.
However, even Yuk Cheol-wan, who had been groaning the entire way, regained his smile as he entered the plane.
“wow! Kovich! “There’s Kovic too!”
Bisoo takes out a bottle from the wine cellar provided on the chartered plane and shakes it.
This wine is notorious for being as expensive as it is for its excellent taste and aroma.
More than half of the members here are minors, but there is nothing to worry about.
Even difficult ether is controlled, and alcohol does not cause any harm to the hunter.
If you decide to get drunk, most of it is quickly purified within the hunter’s body.
“You have to pay for that. “It’s not provided as standard.”
“uh? I already got it?! “I thought there was an opener here.”
“omg. You are now X. “The items provided on board are three times the regular price.”
“Z-Z, really?!”
Bisu stamped his feet with round eyes, and Maria finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
“Ho Ho. It’s okay Bisu. Everything here is provided free of charge. “It’s okay to drink it all.”
“oh! thank god… … ! But why Haeseon… … ?”
In response to Bisu’s question, Maria turned her pretty eyes into the distance.
Then, as if the beast now understood, it raised its claws and lunged at me.
“How dare you make fun of me?!”
Oops.
You can’t use a reader on an airplane.
I realized too late that you have to be careful about the time and place when making fun of people, and I was caught by a bully grabbing my hair.
“die! Just teasing me all the time! Search!”
“ah!! ah!!”
“Hey, hunters. “It’s difficult to make noise on an airplane.”
“… … sorry.”
Bisu, who had been shaking his hair excitedly, looked embarrassed and returned to his seat.
Gulp gurgle.
“Who puts wine like that?”
“Nam Isa.”
Bisoo fills 90% of the wine glass and makes a clean one shot.
“Whoa. “There is no separate heaven.”
Bisu had the happiest expression of his life, and the other members also chose drinks that suited their tastes.
“Hunter. He said he had something to say on the way… … .”
“Ah, Uncle Cheolwan. Shall I tell you now?”
“I think that would be a good idea. In a little while I will… … .”
I’m going to pass out.
Because the energy of the buff is forcibly contained, Yuk Cheol-wan is sometimes unable to hold on and loses consciousness.
In fact, it might be better because you can’t feel the pain.
Anyway, while I’m at it, I think I should bring it up.
“Before the main topic… … “There is someone I can introduce you to.”
A big question mark rises above the members’ heads.
This is an airplane, and there is no one on board other than the group, so who are you introducing me to?
Those were the faces.
“come out.”
As soon as I finished speaking, a small creature suddenly appeared on my shoulder.
The size is like a miniature version of a large dragon.
A black dragon with a large head and impressive yellow eyes compared to its body size.
Pori sticks out her belly and roars.
-Quwang!
“Oh?”
“Wow… … !”
“no… … !”
Reactions varied.
While Kang Jeong-hyeon and Maria were purely amazed, Yuk Cheol-wan was astonished with his eyes that had slowly closed.
And the dagger… … .
“Oh, that damn salamander bastard.”
-Quwang!
When they first met, he was hiding and was bitten by Pori, so it seemed like he was not very happy with Bisu.
“Wow, it’s really cute.”

Kang Jeong-hyeon smiles brightly and approaches Pori.
-Gurrrr… … .
Pori growls lowly at Kang Jeong-hyeon who suddenly approaches.
But Kang Jeong-hyeon seemed to have no intention of stopping.
“Activate.”
Shurrrr.
A part of the fiber device surrounding Kang Jeong-hyeon’s arm rolls up, and pink petals bloom from there.
-What?
Pori, who was glaring at Kang Jeong-hyeon, made a ‘tee-yong’ face, and then opened her mouth to both sides.
Plump.
Pori bounces her body around using bright flower petals as a mattress.
The wary face changed into one full of charm, as if it had never happened before.
-Kku!! Ku!!
“haha. “I think this guy likes you?”
“I think he’s so cute too.”
Considering that he lived far away from people, he must have lived as isolated as me, or perhaps even more isolated than me.
Maybe that’s why Kang Jeong-hyeon really liked Pori in front of him, and Pori played around on the pink petals as if she also felt that way.
“This guy’s name is Pori. “Dr. Jin wrote it.”
“Dr. Jin? “So, you’re saying that Dr. Jin also knows this guy named Pori?”
I nodded to Yuk Cheol-wan’s question.
“yes. “It’s not just that I know him, he’s the person who entrusted this friend to me.”
“her… … . okay.”
Yuk Cheol-wan, who was looking at Pori with new eyes, asks again.
“From what I saw earlier, it seemed like it was on your shoulder from the start. Do you know how to use stealth?”
“you’re right. “It is a smart friend who can hide and even detect hunters who are hiding.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Bisu grumbled softly.
“If you detect it two more times, you will be eaten.”
-dream!
Pori, who was playing in the flower petals, suddenly flies towards Bisu.
Bisu got scared and backed away with a ‘keak’ sound, but nothing she was worried about happened.
Ting… … Ting… … .
Pori gets on Bisu’s collarbone and touches the earrings she is wearing with her wing.
Although it took the form of an earring, it was actually Dr. Jin’s device made of pranium.
Bisu, who had closed his eyes tightly because he thought he was going to be bitten, slowly lifted his eyelids and then snorted.
“Hmph, I know that small things are pretty.”
-Quite.
Thanks to Kang Jeong-hyeon, Pori seemed to have relaxed her guard against the people gathered here.
He clung to Yuk Cheol-wan’s thick beard and rubbed his cheek against Maria’s palm.
Maria, who was looking at Porry with warm eyes, turned her gaze to me.
“This child… … “It feels different from regular monsters.”
“is it so?”
“yes. Basically, I don’t feel any hostility towards humans. The Imperial Tiger that Hunter treated before had a similar feeling… … .”
“It would be because they are both creatures from the spirit world.”
“… … !”
His eyes, deep and clear as a lake, shake violently.
Did he not know about the world called the spirit world?
Or is it because I know information I thought I didn’t know?
It doesn’t matter what happens.
These are the people who did their best to save me when I was in danger.
People who willingly followed me even though the path was a little more stable.
Before I go to the World Hunter Forum, I decided to tell everyone about myself.
Dagger. Maria. Yuk Cheol-wan. Kang Jeong-hyeon.
It seemed like it would be okay for them.
After looking at each person’s face, I finally opened my mouth.
“When I was diagnosed as terminally ill at the hospital, the gate opened.”
* * *
“… … .”
When all the stories were finished, the members remained silent as if they had made a promise.
I think I would feel more at ease if I had at least cursed him in a refreshing manner.
I thought they would be excited and say, ‘I can’t believe I was in the same company as a traitor!’, but surprisingly, everyone seemed calm.
It was Bisu who broke the suffocating silence.
A serious look appeared on her face, which had been flirtatious only a moment ago.
“Kiril… … That woman is so… … .”
Are you trying to rip me off by swearing?
But what I heard next made me quite embarrassed.
“It sucks, right? “It’s so cool!!”
what… … ?
“Cool?”
“Yes, it’s not just cool, it’s really cool.”
I don’t think it’s meant to be sarcastic or teasing.
I decided to quietly listen to why Bisu thought that way.
“You appear in front of people in danger, defeat monsters, and even share your power… … . “It’s really a story like a scene from a hero movie, right?”
“That’s true, but… … . Kirill is a person called a traitor to humanity. “You probably don’t know either.”
“I don’t know what Cyril is or what Poisoner is. And, I haven’t even seen it myself, so should I absolutely believe that?”
that… … yes.
However, this content appears like a stigma in elementary, middle, and high school textbooks.
Once the greatest hunter betrayed humanity and has been living his whole life in hiding like a criminal.
Although the hunter’s name was not revealed, it was clearly stated what type he was.
Poisoner.
What Kirill did in the past was a state secret, but it was common knowledge that a type called Poisoner was trying to destroy the world.
“if… … “I’m really sorry for asking this question.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you go to elementary school?”
“This crazy guy… … !”
Bisu once again grabs my hair and shakes it.
Then why can’t I remember what’s in the textbook? … !
“me too… … “I thought it was cool.”
If Kang Jeong-hyun hadn’t said something small, I might have gone bald.
But you also think favorably of Kirill?
“I spend a lot of time locked up in the lab, so I don’t really know what a poisoner is. But the skills he used were also cool… … “More than anything, I can’t believe he’s so strong even without one arm.”
Although he also admired the admiration, he seemed to feel a strange sense of kinship with the fact that he did not have one arm like himself.
“… … Are you okay? The world has become more impoverished because of Poisoner. “We were able to create a world where monsters no longer need to suffer.”
“Haeseon.”
Yuk Cheol-wan, who had kept his mouth shut the entire time, spoke to me.
“Even if Kirill did something like that, I don’t think our thoughts would be different.”
“… … !”
“Because Kirill is Kirill and you are you. Whatever abilities Cyril gave you, you have used them in the right way. We are not following you because you are Cyril’s successor or poser. “Whether you work as a healer or a knight, as long as you are ‘Cheon Hae-seon’, we will be with you.”
His wife has suffered from mental contamination by monsters for 10 years.
Yuk Cheolwan still had a kind smile on his face.
And from one side, a voice as bright as a jade bead was heard.
“Before I met Hunter Haeseon Cheon, I would have thought of Poisner as my enemy.”
“… … !”
“But after listening to Hunter’s advice, my perspective on the world changed. They say history is written by the winners. Without hearing what Kirill says in person, I can’t confirm anything. and… … .”
After Maria said that, she did something she rarely did.
Jeonghyeon slightly stuck out her tongue between her bright red lips, like flower petals.
“I came this far just because of Cheon Hae-seon.”
Suddenly, the tip of my nose starts to twitch, and my vision becomes slightly blurred.
I didn’t show it, but I’ve been worried for countless days.
How would my followers react if they found out that I was a poisoner?
They may get angry and say they are in league with a traitor, or they may point fingers and say they are a deceiver.
But the current reaction was very different from what I expected.
It made me wonder what I had been worrying about alone all this time.
When he couldn’t speak easily because his throat was stuck, Kang Jeong-hyeon moved his lips with slightly bloodshot eyes.
“Hunter.”
“… … okay.”
“Hunter said that to me. “If you gained power through the wrong means, you just have to use that power correctly in the future.”
Kang Jeong-hyeon’s voice becomes increasingly wet as he speaks.
“When Hunter almost died, I really thought the world was falling apart. It didn’t feel that way when his parents died. Even if Hunter happens to become a villain… … “I will follow Hunter.”
“Why are you saying such scary things?”
I chuckled and ran my hand through Kang Jeong-hyeon’s hair.
“Wow. “Why is my nose running like this?”
I feel more emotional when I see the faces of my colleagues.
I turned my gaze towards the remote window, and before I knew it, the long runway of Dubai International Airport was unfolding outside the window.
