“If it’s okay with you alone, I want to work not for business but for you, Hunter.”
Jehwi deeply bowed in front of Eunha.
“…Alright.”
Eunha eventually nodded.
It’s a situation where she can’t drive him away from her house while talking like this. Moreover, there was no discomfort with Jehwi actually being around.
On the contrary, thanks to him, the house was sparkling clean. There were no days when the refrigerator was empty, and the clothes and blankets always emitted a pleasant fabric softener scent.
About 10 minutes later, Jehwi, with both arms rolled up, prepared a feast of food enough to make Eunha’s legs bend literally.
“Here, please eat quickly. Hunter. Congratulations on your discharge once again. Also, your suspension of Hunter activities is over now.”
“Thank you.”
Eunha, who received the plate, conveyed a brief word of thanks.
As Jehwi said, Eunha’s suspension from Hunter activities was lifted yesterday. Last night, a notice arrived from the Korean Hunter Association in her mailbox.
“It’s really fortunate. Maybe the association doesn’t know that Hunter-nim entered the Busan Unknown Gate.”
Jehwi was delighted, as if he could jump.
Jehwi was well aware of the internet buzzing with various rumors related to the Dark Flame Princess recently.
Whether he was pretending not to care, Jehwi, now looking genuinely pleased, said with a relieved smile.
“As expected of Jecheon Dae Sung. The rumor that he established a guild with just one loyalty seems to be true. Isn’t it a thank-you for rescuing an Immortal Guild member?”
Jehwi, smiling with relief.
That way, the two raised a toast to the lifting of the suspension of ‘Dark Flame Princess Hunter activities.’
About an hour later.
“Oh, my, my stomach!”
Cough, cough.
Jehwi, whose nose was crooked, pounded his forehead on the table.
“Where in the world is this law? You’re a hunter. After all the suffering and all the achievements!”
“…….”
Eunha looked at Jehwi while tilting her glass. Jehwi, with a sorrowful face, stared at his smartphone as if he could pierce through it.
“Why the hell did that damn machine judge Hunter-nim as F-rank? If it weren’t for that, you might have already risen to the A+ or even S-rank by now! That’s right. Even in the battle with Jecheon Dae Sung, you didn’t fall behind at all!”
“Manager, you’re drunk.”
“No! I’m perfectly fine. The only thing that’s not fine is this world!”
Jehwi, who shouted in frustration, beat his chest as if he were unjustly treated.
“Where on earth did you see Hunter-nim with an F-rank concept? Even if you carry a flashy dress, huh? Even with a weird and strange parasol! What?! Where in the world is a concept hunter as strong as this?”
“…….”
Eunha gave up trying to dissuade Jehwi and averted her gaze from him.
“Originally, by now, you should have swept up wealth and honor… It’s unfair, unfair…”
It won’t work. Jehwi suddenly raised his head. He started tapping the smartphone screen with a determined face.
“I have to let the world know. How strong and just our Hunter-nim is…”
“Manager.”
Eunha murmured softly.
“It’s okay.”
“But…”
“Really.”
Eunha said again.
At the corner of the dining table, there was one passbook flipped over. It was what Siwoo left behind just before terminating the contract.
Perhaps it was the least loyalty. Perhaps it was just sympathy. It was unclear.
With that money, I could live without worrying about meals for several years, if not decades. It was a sufficient amount. Moreover, the situation had changed, and even this officetel was now owned by ‘Iyura.’
“But there’s no one who recognizes Hunter-nim.”
“I never wished for anyone to recognize me.”
Before, now, and in the future, it would be the same.
“Because it’s already enough.”
Eunha raised her head and looked at Jehwi.
“Manager is here, my younger brother is here, and even the Immortal Guild knows everything. It’s enough.”
She had never thought of becoming a famous Hunter.
‘No. Rather.’
If possible, now she wanted to do what she desired, not as a Hunter but as herself.
A normal life.
She wanted to go back to that ‘normal life’ that she had only known to have lost that day. If it’s not too late.
“…Hunter-nim.”
It was the moment Jehwi sniffled.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell rang. Was it the pizza delivery?
“I, I’ll go check.”
Jehwi, who was sticking his nose to the table, suddenly came to his senses and stood up. Was he pretending to be drunk…?
After a few dozen seconds.
“What, what business does the Gugu Legion have… now?”
Jehwi’s voice was heard from the entrance. Legion? Eunha, who was sitting at the table, stopped in her tracks.
“On the master’s orders, I’ve come to escort the Dark Flame Princess.”
A strange man’s voice.
Eunha halted her steps. On the back of the man’s green cape, embroidered with golden thread stars,
“He’s Legion’s Bae Jun-hwan.”
The guild name of the Trickster Song Min-joo was sparkling.
Even though Jehwi had been in this industry for over ten years, he knew who he was.
‘Legion’s Vice Guild Master, Bae Jun-hwan.’
Why was he here, one of the famous A-rank Hunters? Did he know something about the Unknown Gate? Even if he did, it shouldn’t be related to the Legion.
No, more than that… Hunter-nim is Maestro, and Trickster, after all, what kind of connections does she have?
Jehwi shifted his gaze to Eunha, who had already sobered up for a long time.
“…?”
Tilting her head slightly and narrowing her forehead. At a glance, Eunha seemed to be treating the person in front of her like someone she met for the first time.
“Under the master’s orders, I’ve heard about rescuing our master at the Yeoui Naro Gate. That’s why you received a suspension of activities.”
“…Ah.”
Only then did the question mark frozen on Eunha’s face disappear. She remembered who he was. He was undoubtedly one of those who followed her when she went to the beef soup restaurant with Min-joo.
At that time, she didn’t know, but now she did. He wasn’t a kidnapper; he was a guild member like Min-joo.
Since he brought Min-joo home at that time, he must have heard Eunha’s home address from Min-joo.
“I apologize for the inconvenience last time.”
“No. We should be the ones apologizing.”
As Eunha slightly bowed her head, Jun-hwan bowed even deeper.
“I would like to express my deep gratitude on behalf of the Legion Family. Thank you very much.”
“I just did what needed to be done.”
A modest response. Jun-hwan slowly lifted his bowed head.
He thought of her as an unknown F-rank concept Hunter.
‘Master, what did you like about that concept Hunter?’
‘If you talk to him a bit, you’ll surely like him too.’
“…….”
Watching Eunha silently, Jun-hwan, holding the bare beret, slightly bowed his head again.
“Since the figure that Master agreed to create together earlier has arrived, she has requested you to visit the headquarters.”
Eunha, who had been staring at Jun-hwan’s lowered back of the head, blinked her eyes slowly.
A figure…?
On Jehwi’s face, who had been silently observing the two from the side, a question mark also arose.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
