Chapter 298: Rule of the country

Meanwhile,

On the streets of Seoul where the mist phenomenon had appeared, spatial distortion continued. Certain areas kept repeating and expanding without end.

Anything could pop out of an unstable space.

Proof of that was the immature witch beasts already wandering around.

Eight Galactic Miners.

At this point even S-rank hunters were reluctant to enter.

"Hmm."

Coincidentally, Liliana — wearing her devil suit — was watching as the monsters gathered.

"Kyik?"

Just then the two miners turned toward her and began charging light into their eyes.

Liliana moved.

The Witchbeast 『Galaxy Miner』 never even saw her. Her movement was faster than the speed of sound.

With a single quick kick she crushed the beast’s head like tofu.

All eight.

It didn’t even take a full second to kill them.

The aftermath of the impact that had forcibly opened their magic shields belatedly rippled through the space, trembling in every nook and cranny.

’I came here because I thought I could figure out the reality of the Villain Union.’

It was strange.

Red mist was a disaster phenomenon.

No one had expected this to happen at this exact time.

And the people of this universe...

They were S-class dangerous monsters that had once put Korea into crisis.

’It doesn’t matter since only miners are coming out for now.’

It would become a serious problem if even a "soldier-level" specimen appeared.

At that point it had the potential to develop into a national disaster.

"Evangeline. How about you?"

The vice president’s calm voice came through the radio.

"Yes, Chairman. This is A-3; outer space has appeared. I am moving with the surviving hunters."

"..."

Who is Ren?

Liliana didn’t dare ask outright, but Evangeline seemed to read her mind.

"Ren is fine, along with his colleagues."

"Thanks."

"It’s still a bit unstable, but you’ve grown quite a bit, haven’t you?"

"Not everyone’s growth curve is flat. Ren will become stronger."

At first Liliana hadn’t wanted to believe it more than anyone else.

Now she trusted him more than anyone else.

When it came to deciding who should be entrusted with such a vulgar ability as 『Soul Excretion』, she couldn’t think of anyone other than Ren.

Ren was Soul Excretion, and Soul Excretion was Ren.

The words sounded strange. Anyway.

"By the way, it’s strange to see these old witches again."

"Is that so? There are quite a few cases where witchbeasts are rehashed."

"Because I haven’t seen the cosmic family since [Sword Saint Justia] dealt with them in the past."

Justia.

Hearing the name brought back memories.

The cosmic family was a lineage that hadn’t been seen since their encounter with the Sword Saint.

That was why it felt strange.

Unlike the goblins and orcs of 『The Family of the Beast』, who liked to attack anywhere in the world, the appearance rate of a particular family differed depending on the influence that dominated the space.

Among the various members of the family who had been severely beaten by the Sword Saint and no longer set foot in Korea, the one that could be called the representative was 『Woju』.

It had suddenly appeared in Korea again.

"Does it have anything to do with the daughter of the Sword Master wandering around here?"

"Yes?"

"No, nothing."

Liliana had encountered Quintia in the Golden Station before the mist phenomenon broke out.

Had she been wandering around simply for play, it would have been Liliana’s job to scold her and send her back home.

But Quintia’s will had been too determined to stop, and since then no report of Quintia’s survival had ever been posted to the student council.

’What was Quintia doing here?’

Looking for someone.

She thought that was what the girl had said.

Right now there was nothing to connect it with the current situation.

"Continue reporting the situation."

Eren Hall of Area B reported in.

"This is B-2, Eren Hall. We found the drug den."

"I’m on my way."

Liliana moved quickly.

When she arrived, the S-class Hunter Eren had already cleared all the miners around them.

In front of the direct elevator to the basement, several villains lay face-down, dead.

None of them had been shot.

"Mr. Eren. What’s this?"

"When I arrived they were already dead."

Upon entering the cave a strong smell of medicine and an indescribable stench lingered in the air.

Most of the bodies on the ground were covered in blood, as if this place had been attacked by a monster or as if they had been fighting among themselves.

"It seems illegal drug manufacturing and coin trading were prevalent until recently."

Eren, who had followed behind, spoke.

"It could have been the Union’s money line."

"It looks that way, but it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the mist phenomenon. There wasn’t anything that looked like a gravitational-wave amplifying device."

"..."

Among the dead were also citizens who had been abducted and reported missing.

Liliana clenched her teeth.

’What do you mean the Union doesn’t exist, Xenovia?’

This was a place she hadn’t been able to find until this uproar.

That meant there were still a few more dens like this.

"Expand your search range and check more of the surroundings, Mr. Eren."

"And you?"

"I’m going to chase the ones who escaped."

There would surely be a story worth hearing from their mouths.

*

"What do we do now, Evangeline-noona?"

"We need to explore and find clues."

We were moving deeper into the forbidden area following Evangeline.

"This is the base camp, everyone."

I was slightly taken aback.

There was a broadcasting vehicle parked inside.

I had just come from a life-threatening battle, and the fact that a broadcast vehicle had arrived first made me think a lot.

"Welcome to the danger zone. Each squad can stretch out from here."

There was also a simple medical facility at the base camp.

If you looked at it unkindly it was just a container, but it was something.

Angel One Squad’s straight-haired nurse and the student council vice president Evangeline were the medical team in charge of it.

On one side was the broadcasting team I had noticed earlier...

"Ah! It’s the Hunter Association."

Looking where Yuna pointed, I saw people from the Hunter Association.

A pretty, genuine-looking older sister with braided black hair stood among them.

Her kind brown eyes looked at me and she grinned.

"Hello, Miss Yuna? You don’t often come to the Association after the screening."

"Ugh... because I failed..."

"Oh."

Who is this?

When I asked in a whisper, Yuna answered in a creeping voice.

"The quest receptionist..."

So this was the receptionist-noona...

The number of candidates for breastfeeding goddaughters had just increased. The receptionist’s kind-hearted, motherly atmosphere stole my eyes.

I wasn’t the only one staring.

The receptionist-noona was also staring at my face.

"Is the person next to you your boyfriend?"

"Yes!"

Yuna answered at lightning speed and even linked her arm with mine.

No matter where you put it, she was a proud girlfriend.

"Hello. I’m Ren."

"Can I help you at the reception?"

"That’s... I don’t have a hunter license yet."

"Ah, then you’re a hero? If you’re a hero the registration process will be simplified. Can I help you?"

"Yes..."

I followed the receptionist-noona as if possessed.

Yuna and Elle followed as well.

"Okay, sign the papers here. Thumbprint."

"..."

There seemed to be a lot of skinship for some reason. Was it just my mood?

My eyes met the receptionist’s.

"...Thank you."

"What’s the receptionist-noona’s name?"

"My... my name? Eirin. I am..."

She was an older sister with a pretty name.

[Identification of Fleshlight aptitude]

[Eirin]

[Attack Difficulty: C Rank (Strikeout)] [Fleshlight Aptitude S+ Level]

[Virgin] [Underwear: Sexy black underwear set, T-back]

Fleshlight Characteristic (★): How about accepting a reception at this pussy? A kind and kind receptionist’s pussy.

A neat black-haired receptionist at the headquarters of the Seoul Hunter Association. She monopolizes the popularity of male hunters with her unique appearance. Her demeanor is always neat, and her beautiful voice is a characteristic.

The size of her breasts is also amazing, so she has become the face of the Association amidst the overwhelming support of Hunter uncles.

Underwear: black.

Check.

[Acquisition of a Class D Hunter License]

"Let’s register Elle here too. If Ren and I recommend her, she’ll be registered soon."

"Recommendation... will you...?"

Elle looked up at me.

"Of course. You have to do whatever you want to do."

"Huh...!"

At the recommendation of Hunter/Hero Ren and B-class pro hunter Yuna, Elle finished registering as a hunter.

Eirin straightened her back and raised her chin slightly for the three of us who had become her hunters.

"I will guide you through the missions available in this area."

"Thank you very much, Miss Eirin."

Eirin smiled softly.

"Yes, Mr. Ren."

Hero was Class B. Hunter was D-class. The academy was also D-class.

It was dissatisfying that the indicators evaluating me were all still ambiguous.

I wanted to become a little more amazing so I could flirt with a beauty like Eirin while breastfeeding my goddaughter!!

’Dating the Hunter Association receptionist.’

That looked kind of tasty.

A delusion unfolded inside me.

「Wow, Mr. Ren! Completing such a difficult task... you’re amazing!」

「Would you like to have dinner with me? Hmm... yes. Great... ?」

「Oh, oh oh oh ? S-class hunter Ren’s cock gets updated.」

Surprisingly, in this delusion the third line — the one that seemed the most unlikely — was actually the most likely to happen!

"Currently Geumyeok has been selected as an S-rank area with a risk level that only those with permission can enter, and a number of unexpected missions, including kill quests, are being distributed to Hunters."

Wow.

It was like listening to a real-life voice actor.

I loved the way she explained without interruption in a beautiful voice with a silky texture.

"Honey is going to fall from your eyes, Ren?"

Cool.

After being pointed out by Yuna I hurriedly corrected my expression.

Eirin gave a natural smile that was hard to tell whether it was commercial or genuine — it could have been the best commercial smile possible.

"The contents of the special unexpected quests are as follows."

Soon a list of quests we could receive appeared on the hologram panel that formed at Eirin’s fingertips.
