I Want To Live A Normal Life, But I’m An SSS-Class Hunter

Chapter 27

Episode 27. Kidnapping (1)

Perhaps, he cant speak because hes threatened?! No, thats not it.

He would be terrified if it were a threat, but that wasnt the case.

As a former demon king, I knew exactly what that feeling was. 

Then it seems to be something else. Hmm

The next morning.

Dad came to see me before work.

Dad seemed to be disappointed because my Mom had disappeared, but he smiled at me.

Our Heesun, it seems that you are in a very good mood. Did you meet your friends yesterday?

Yes. And Im seeing my Dad right now.

It was a bit embarrassing, but I thought it was a good thing to say.

Dads face was shining bright like last night.

Did you have breakfast?

No, not yet.

Then lets eat together. Ill make you a cabbage sandwich. Im not good at cooking, but Im good at making it.

A cabbage sandwich?

Sandwich stuffed with cabbage and egg. I make it every Sunday and eat it with my mom.

I see. 

Something felt slightly different.

Whats the matter?

Nahyun used to do this for me in the past too. SoEven Dad sometimes eats it.

Dad stared in the direction of Moms room with a vague look.

I didnt know what to say, so I quietly made a cabbage sandwich and set it down in front of Dad. 

Yeah. I used to eat cabbage sandwiches like this. 

Here, have some tomato juice too.

Yeah. We drank tomato juice together just like this. 

. 

I looked toward Moms room and whispered.

It would be nice if you two got married.

Dads face lit up even brighter than last night.

It was brilliant!

Certainly, you still have feelings for Mom.

It was true love when I think about it again!

But I had no choice but to say this.

But please dont get married just because of me. 

.

I want my mom and dad to love each other and get married. If youre getting married because of me, Im against it. I dont think you should marry someone you dont want because of your children.

Heesun, I Its not an unwanted marriage 

Dad had a thoughtful look on his face.

Then, he washed his face dry.

Whoo Yeah, what you said is right, youre right. Andthis is not the time to think about marriage. Theres a lot of work to be done before thatwe found out that we misunderstood each other, but that doesnt mean that emotions are easily solved. And I also have a problem with my father. 

Dads father? 

Yeah. I think he knows about our Heesun. I got my sisters help and got it out of my way, but hes probably going to come. Be careful.

Yes, I will. Dad, Kyungae said that yesterday.

I talked about the idea of telling people that Mom and Dad broke up because they both misunderstood each other, which was caused by Dads father.

If you do this, Mom and Dad will become victims, so wouldnt it be okay? 

Yeah. Thats a good opinion. But my father is no ordinary person. We dont know what will he do. Ill have to think about it for a while.

Yes. 

Yoon KyungaeThat friend definitely has a sense. Ive seen her activities online, and shes good at moving public opinion. She know the world of Hunter very well.

I heard shes really good at it, too. I dont know much because I rarely use the Internet. 

I see. She worked at the Jewel Guild part-time. Will she keep doing that?

She said she wouldnt go to college, but enter the Jewel Guild as an employee. 

It seems like a good talent, but its a bit disappointing. It would be nice to work in the Department of Ability. 

Do you want to scout her? Shall we talk? 

No. Dont talk to her. The two twins will not stand still.

Oh, are you on bad terms with Kyungaes sisters? 

No, thats not it. However, I have taken several people from the Jewel guild unintentionally. So the two twins suffered a bit while running the guild. Im sure theyll be offended if I even scout their little sisters. 

I see. 

Yoon Boae, the older twin sister, is an A Class Hunter and the best and most talented wizard in all of Korea. Shes also good at analyzing magic. Now that youre going to be a Hunter, youd better learn magic from Hunter Yoon Boae. If her education is not enough, then lets look for overseas wizards.

I dont think I need to learn.

First, I nodded my head. 

Have you decided on a guild?

Not yet.

If its our Heesun, the terms of the contract will always be the best, so itll be almost the same. Its good to consider other aspects before choosing.

Yesterday Uncle Kim Changho explained to me, but I didnt understand. But Dad, you dont recommend the Beomho guild, is it because you dont get along with the Summoner guild leader?

Were not on bad terms. Its good. Its very, very good. 

Why did Dad have cloudy eyes? 

Minister of the Department of Ability shouldnt recommend a specific guild to new Hunters. Thats why I didnt mention it.

After saying that, Dad took out his cell phone and showed me a guilds homepage.

The Jewel Guild.

.

Dad worked as a Hunter for a long time and is a man. So, now that youre a hunter, Im not sure what my daughter finds discomforting. The Jewel Guild takes good care of rookie hunters and actively protects and helps female hunters. Both twins are people you can trust too. And if your friend, Yoon Kyungae, works there, our Heesun would be more comfortable too.

Then shall I choose there? 

Make your decision after visiting the guild headquarters. Take a tour of the facility, and meet other guild employees.

Yes. 

Ill set up an appointment for a tour. How about tomorrow afternoon? Dad has time then. 

Tomorrow, fine. But can a Minister of the Department of Ability accompany the new hunters guild tour?

No. But still, its okay. Ill do it tomorrow afternoon.

.

Tell Nahyun too. Usually, the entire family goes on field trips.

Yes. 

Hmm. Other than Yoon Kyungaeare there any of your friends who know Hunter well or are good at online work like Yoon Kyungae? 

As far as I know, no. Shinhee is a huge fan of Dad, but it seems like shes not particularly active and is just looking around.

Dad nodded with regret.

But werent you uncomfortable yesterday? So did Shinhee, and the kids looked at you with incredibly hot eyes.

Its all right. Im used to it.

Come to think of it, he probably didnt mind the attention because he was so famous.

You are very close with your friends.

Yes.

Who are you closest to?

Its Baek Youngsoon, who is called Bbangsoonie.

I see.

But hes been a bit strange lately.

Strange?

Yes. I think hes hiding something, but he didnt tell me.

. 

Im worried. It looks like something serious has happened. 

Dad hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head as if he had made up his mind.

Heesun-ah, youre SSS Class, but you dont belong to the guild yet, so you havent officially registered with the government. So theres no secret authorization. But under the authority of the Minister of the Department of Ability, I will now give you the second level of confidentiality. 

The sudden remark made me tilt my head.

Dad smiled and said, Youre cute.

Baek Youngsoon is also a Hunter. This years ability test turned out to be A-class.

Yes?!

But the code name and skill are dangerous, so I set them up as a top secret. We are still debating what to do next. Baek Youngsoon is not supposed to say anything until he makes a decision. Even Baek Youngsoons parents dont know.

Huh Ah, a dangerous class, is it bad?!

I cant say anything bad. The code name is the phone, and the skill can handle anything related to the phone.

Hes been obsessed with his cell phone ever since. I guess thats why he got that code name and skill.

Its weird and a little funny. 

But why is it dangerous?

Because he can do whatever he wants with the information in his cell phone. For example, you can change the balance of your account at will through the banking app. You can erase any trace of it. He also has the ability to explode cell phones. When a cell phone explodes, it usually happens by accident, but it can be used as an assassination. If we did something wrong, the probability of him being used for crime is very high.

Ah 

Of course, Baek Youngsoon has a good character. But criminals might take Baek Youngsoons family hostage and force him to commit crimes. The World Hunter Union exists, but it may not be able to prevent such crimes because it usually punishes them after they occur.

Hmm, its definitely dangerous.

Right. But that doesnt mean we can keep it a secret forever. Baek Youngsoon also has the right to be active. We are preventing information leakage as much as possible, but the public is curious about the A Class Hunterand theres a saying in Hunters world.

Which one?

There are no secrets about grades and skills. Its bound to be known somehow. Better to make an official announcement before anything goes wrong. However, this code name and skill are the first in the world, so Im worried. In the meantime, things continued to happen.

Certainly, several incidents were blown up.

There is also a problem with the SS Class Hunter.

Dad looked at me for some reason and said with a clear look of disapproval.

Do you hate that SS Class Hunter? But why are you looking at me?

Because that Hunter is also a very unusual case.

The phone rang in Dads arms.

Wait. This notification rings when an important event occurs. Whats going on?

Dad took out his cell phone.

His eyes, which had been looking at me warmly until just now, froze as soon as he saw the screen.

For a moment, I got goosebumps.

I had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen.

What happened?

Heesun-ah, listen calmly.

Yes? Yes. 

Baek Youngsoon has been kidnapped.

+ Chapter 6. Kidnapping

Yes? 

It is said that Baek Youngsoon didnt leave his house even though it was time for school, so the hunter who was watching over him went to his house. There is no trace of Baek Youngsoon as well as his parents. Seeing that they kidnapped his family, it seems like they knew Baek Youngsoons skill and took him, Heesun-ah?

Dads face turned pale as if he had been crushed by the powerful aura I gave off without knowing it.

However, he didnt escape.

He reached out and held me gently as if he was wrapping around my shoulder.

He stared at me with eyes full of worry, not fear.

Itll be fine.

He spoke softly as if to comfort me.

We planted tracking magic not only for Baek Youngsoon but also for his parents with Baek Youngsoons consent just in case. Hunter with tracking skills is already chasing him, so well find him. It hasnt been long since he was kidnapped, and he has several protective artifacts, so it wont be a big deal. Dont worry too much. 

I closed my eyes and opened them.

The energy I had been exhaling for a moment was gone.

Only then did Dad look a little relieved and lightly stroke my hair before standing up.

Wait a little. Ill let you know as soon as the news comes in.

I want to go too.
