These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

[Why?]

[…It's nothing.]

If it's nothing, why is he looking at me like that? I frowned and grabbed Sung Yoo-bin's hand. I felt a little strange because her skin felt smoother than usual, maybe because we were underwater.

[Hunter Han Yi-jin, please use your skill and get as far away from here as possible.]

[Understood.]

[It's dangerous, so don't linger nearby.]

[I understand.]

I nodded my head to the overprotective Sung Yoo-bin, and also applied the skill to Han Yeo-reum behind her. Han Yeo-reum, who was bleary-eyed, suddenly opened her mouth.

[Ah, I really want him. Would you like to join our guild?]

[But I'm a man.]

[Eyy, maybe the Freya Guild should change its policy. Or dressing up as a woman? How about dressing up as a woman.]

[…I don't want to.]

[Don't be so cold-hearted, I think you'd look good in it.]

[Ah, I don't want to!]

I screamed, but no sound came out, so I wasn't sure if she felt my frustration. Shaking my head, I finally approached Kang Yoo-hyun. Kang Yoo-hyun stared at me with his mouth closed. I opened my mouth, facing him.

[What are you doing? Give me your hand too.]

[…]

Kang Yoo-hyun, who frowned as if he didn't like something, said defiantly.

[Hand? Last time you touched a sensitive spot.]

[…]

Ugh, seriously, this guy. He was still bothered by that incident. But, I don't have a very good personality either, so I responded to Kang Yoo-hyun's words with a little annoyance.

[Then, where should I touch instead of your hand? Should I touch your face like last time?]

[…]

Kang Yoo-hyun's gaze was ominous for some reason. It was when I was nervously looking at Kang Yoo-hyun's slightly parted lips.

Boom!

[…!]

An explosion suddenly sounded from a distance. Startled, I looked towards the source of the sound. I could see a huge Sea Dragon moving its body.

[Sea Dragon Rashdir

Rank: ??

Level: ??

? ?? ?? ??, ?? ?? ??

…]

Rashdir's entire body was yellow. I don't know if it's because I saw from a distance, or its scales were yellow, or because the light emitted from its passive skill was yellow. But why is the boss monster moving already? No one had approached that area yet.

The emergency situation kept the Valkyrie members busy. The Valkyrie members, who continued to push the elite monsters back, started shouting at each other.

[The boss monster is moving!]

[Where did the 1st Battalion go?]

[Here they come!]

[The barrier…!]

Bang!

[Whoa…!]

I was knocked backward by the rushing water, and a strong arm grabbed my body.

[Kang Yoo-hyun…!]

[Stay still.]

I glanced back at Kang Yoo-hyun as he wrapped his arms around me. My view was blocked by his body, so I couldn't see what was going on.

[Kkyau!]

[Yong-sik!]

Yong-sik, who was hanging on my back, spread his wings, flapping them up and down as if to pull me away from Kang Yoo-hyun.

[Wait, the skill…!]

[…]

I hadn't applied the auxiliary skill to Kang Yoo-hyun. I rushed to reach out to him.

At that moment, the water waves splashed again.contemporary romance

[Ugh…!]

[Yi-jin-ah, are you okay?]

[Yeah…]

What should I do? I ended up distancing myself from Kang Yoo-hyun without applying the skill. I watched anxiously as Kang Yoo-hyun, Sung Yoo-bin, and Han Yeo-reum headed towards the boss monster.

Still, I did apply my skill to Sung Yoo-bin and Han Yeo-reum. With the three of them, maybe they can defeat the SS-rank boss monster?

I bit my lip nervously as I thought about it.

[You didn't take the skills on purpose, did you?]

[…]

Kang Yoo-hyun shut his mouth at Han Yeo-reum's question. Han Yeo-reum looked at him and clicked her tongue and turned at Sung Yoo-bin, but her mood was also cold. Han Yeo-reum clicked her tongue again and turned her head away.

It was common for the strongest hunters to team up, but with all these people combined? This awkward atmosphere, even in the short time heading towards the boss monster, was unbearable for Han Yeo-reum.

However, their clashes in this raid were less than expected. Han Yeo-reum thought that if Sung Yoo-bin and Kang Yoo-hyun met this time, there would be a big uproar, but apparently they were calm.

It was probably because of him. Han Yeo-reum recalled Han Yi-jin's last encounter. With him in between, Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin seemed to ignore each other as if the other didn't exist.

Sung Yoo-bin, in particular, gritted her teeth at Kang Yoo-hyun, but he didn't seem to care because he was too busy following Han Yi-jin around.

In the end, it was a good thing for the team's effectiveness, but Han Yeo-reum felt uncomfortable for some reason. They definitely wanted to say something to each other, but how long would they keep it buried?

‘Ey, it's not even my business. Why am I getting worked up about it?’

Han Yeo-reum shook her head and moved faster. Perhaps it was because she had received the auxiliary skill, her body was overflowing with power. She wondered if she could continue to fight without this auxiliary skill? The more she received auxiliary skill, the more addicted she felt.

[Die! You lowly beings!]

The Sea Dragon, releasing its ferocious momentum, opened its huge mouth. A jet of water emerged from between its fangs.

Was it Breath? Han Yeo-reum tried to send a signal for everyone to scatter to avoid the Breath attack.

[Huh? Hey, Sung Yoo-bin!]

However, even after seeing the Sea Dragon preparing to unleash its Breath, Sung Yoo-bin didn't slow down her speed at all. Instead, she sped up and rushed toward the Sea Dragon.

[No, Hunter Kang Yoo-hyun…!]

[…]

Moreover, Kang Yoo-hyun followed her from behind.

‘I'm going crazy, really.’

Han Yeo-reum frowned at the sight.

She also realised that it didn't matter what would happen now.

‘Well, there are two S-rank hunters who have received auxiliary skill and an SS-rank hunter, so it should work out.’

Maybe they can survive a direct attack from the SS-rank boss monster's Breath. Swallowing a groan at her bleak future, Han Yeo-reum also charged toward the Sea Dragon.

Boom, boom,boom!

[Ugh…!]

Despite being far away, I could still feel the aftermath of the battle. Thanks to the legendary-grade armour that I obtained by luck, my body didn't shake violently.

[Yi-jin-ah, are you okay?]

[Kkyau.]

Besides, Eden and Yong-sik were beside me. I nodded with a little relief.

[I’m okay.]

It looked like the battle would be over soon. Everything went smoothly except the Sea Dragon attacked earlier than expected. The Valkyrie units were clearing out the elite monsters, and Kang Yoo-hyun, Sung Yoo-bin, and Han Yeo-reum would soon defeat the boss monster.

Nevertheless, I didn't understand why I kept feeling anxious. Was it because I hadn't applied the auxiliary skill to Kang Yoo-hyun? What's wrong with me? It was when I was caught up in such thoughts—

Kugugugung…

[What's going on?]

My surroundings started shaking violently. I was surprised and looked around that the entire support team had never seen anything like this before in a boss fight.

[…!]

Then, something exploded and soared from the ground behind the support team. My eyes widened when I saw a young girl nearby.

[Kyaaa!]

[Hunter Guseul…!]

I didn't know how I could move so fast when I couldn't even swim properly. When I came to, I found myself holding Guseul's small body.

[Ugh…!]

I felt a huge blow on my back. I rolled around on the bottom of the deep sea while holding Guseul.

[Hun—hunter Han Yi-jin…]

[Kugh.]

I could feel Guseul shaking with fear. I hugged her tightly. Then, I saw something rising from the bottom of the sea.

[Keuoo…!]

[…!]

Emerging from the bottom of the sea was a monster that looked like a pitch black lump. Gradually, it started to take shape. My eyes shook when I saw it.

[Why is that…?]

I doubted my eyes. The shape of the monster rising from the ground resembled the Dead King, Draugr, that I had seen in the Alfheim Dungeon.

[Keueueu…!]

[…!]

I felt as if the grey eyes I met were smiling. I had goosebumps all over my body.

[Kyaaa!]

[Yong-sik! Ugh…!]

Starting with that monster, numerous Draugr began to emerge from the ocean bottom. In the midst of the support team where non-combatants gathered, elite monsters of unknown rank were constantly surfacing.

[Hunter Guseul, can you get up?]

[Yes, yes.]

Somehow I have to lure the monsters towards the Valkyrie members. I took out my gun from the inventory and aimed at the rushing monsters.

Bang!

[Kyaa!]

[Run, quickly!]

[But…]

[Hurry!]

As I shouted, Guseul's body trembled and hesitated before retreating. She immediately turned away from me, who was shooting frantically. I glanced at Guseul who was heading towards the Valkyrie members and looked away in relief.

[Hey, Eden!]

[Yi Jin-ah!]

Eden, who had swept away the monsters in the surrounding area with his wind ability, approached me. His eyes scanned my body. I nodded that I was okay and looked at Eden as he approached.

[Let's do that.]

[What?]

[What you're good at.]

[…?]

I grabbed Eden's hand with his eyes wide open then I boosted his ability.

[Monster hunting.]

[Ah.]

Eden, who hadn't received my auxiliary skill from me in a while, smiled.

[That's my specialty.]

Eden nodded and put his arm around my waist.

T/N: Sorry for the delay and thank you for the waiting. Enjoy~ ❤️
