LIGHTNOVELSTORY S-Class Except Me
Chapter 110
“There’s something under that sea that sucks everything in. It’s dangerous, so I never go near it.”
“Then isn’t it too dangerous? It would be a big problem if someone made a mistake and passed by.” Why did they just leave it alone without even attacking it? The captain explained further to Haeun’s question. “It’s a sea road that we travel every day, so everyone knows it well. And more than anything, since that thing was created, the number of fish suddenly increased, so we left it alone.” “There are more fish? Isn’t it just a coincidence…?” “That may be true, but we say it is because the Sea God protects us. It’s a myth commonly believed by sea workers. Hunters say it’s dangerous because it’s a dungeon, but we call it Dragon Palace, where the Dragon King lives. It is instituted every year on January 1st.” Is it permeating people’s lives much better than she thinks? This is the Dragon Palace where the Dragon King lives. Haeun looked at the black sea, which had become quiet as if it had never been so noisy, for a moment. After completing light reconnaissance, the three returned to land. Haeun stepped on the still ground and took a deep breath. Since there was no movement under her feet, she seemed to live. Haeun asked as she stretched out. “What are you going to do?” “What can I do? We have to attack.” Although the residents here showed excessive trust in the gate, even calling it the Dragon Palace, it was fundamentally a dungeon with dangerous elements. In fact, she even saw the sea rising dangerously, creating a water column as if it were exploding. As expected, although they came down to Jeju Island to seek out special magic stones, it seems like a good idea to attack it. “We will proceed as planned. The rest of the raid team will also arrive. The entry takes place the next day.” “It would be a good idea to prepare escape stones according to the number of people in preparation for unexpected situations.” “You prepare for that. You won’t say you can’t, right?” “There’s no way.” While they were fighting each other, Seo Dojoon and Jung Eunwoo planned quite skillfully. Looking at how things are progressing, it looks like preparations for the attack will be going on quite intensively. ‘I guess today is the only time I have.’ She glances at the clock and sees that it is still three in the afternoon. If she moves busily, she will be able to arrive without it being too late. Then… “Then there is nothing to do today, right?” “Why?” “Because I want to go somewhere.” “Where?” Haeun smiled brightly at Jung Eunwoo’s question. Please follow her first. * * * It takes an hour to drive. After driving quite a distance, they arrived at a place where a placard saying that it was a citrus experience farm was blowing in the wind. Jung Eunwoo, who closed the car door with a loud thud, came out and raised his eyebrows. “Tangerine farm?” “They say the tangerines here are delicious.” Tangerines are friendly and the owner is delicious… No, he said the owner was friendly too. Orange plastic boxes were stacked on top of each other outside the building with the sign. Next to it, there is a small photo zone for tourists. Haeun went inside through the open door. “Is anybody home?” The inside of what appeared to be an office was empty without a single person. There is no common sign telling them to wait since she is leaving for a moment. “Hmm.” “It looks like there’s no one there right now.” “Well, she will come soon. I’ll wait.” “Hey, Jung Haeun. Did you really come all the way here for a tangerine? Do you have to buy tangerines here?” “Yes, I have to buy it.” “Phew. Do whatever you want.” Jung Eunwoo sat on an empty chair, showing off his annoyance. Ha-eun also quickly took a seat. Since there were no more chairs left, Seo Dojoon stood next to Haeun. “Haeun-ssi, you seem to like tangerines.” “Uhm, yes! I like it.” Lying on a warm floor in the winter, peeling tangerines and watching NetxLix, it couldn’t be more leisurely and pleasant. Once she starts eating, she can finish one box in no time! When she thought she should also buy tangerines for her family and friends while she was at the tangerine farm, she suddenly heard the Constellation’s words. [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ says that Haeun has the same taste as him, and they are one in fate…] ‘Tsk.’ Haeun immediately became impressed upon hearing the voice for the first time in a very long time. To be exact, it was a voice that Haeun had been ignoring all along. Haeun crossed her arms crookedly. ‘Who wants to talk to me?’ [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ is crying and asking if she is still angry.] ‘You decided to isolate yourself from me.’ Haeun snorted. At Hwang Soomin’s house, when Haeun gave the Constellation the last chance to confess, the Constellation eventually didn’t speak until the end. It was such an extreme attitude that she wondered how that could be possible. She really wants to end the relationship at this point. Okay, I don’t need you either. Anyway, once she fully awakens, he’ll take away the abilities he already gave them, so what can she do? Haeun twisted her mouth and pouted. ‘Who are you talking to me?’ [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ is hurt by Haeun’s coldness.] [He asks if she’s really going to ignore what he says and not talk to him.] ‘You’re the one who always ignored me.’ That’s why she came down to Jeju Island to find out for herself. Now if he doesn’t respond properly, she won’t hang out with him. The Constellation, who was trying to talk casually, eventually stopped talking when Haeun continued to ignore him. She waited like that for fifteen minutes for the owner to return. “Oh, there’s a guest here? Welcome…” A middle-aged woman came in carrying a huge box full of tangerines and stopped at the door. This is because there were people in her office whose faces could be seen. And the embarrassment soon turned into joy the moment she saw Jung Eunwoo’s face. The other person shouted at Jung Eunwoo. “Oh my, Eunwoo! It’s been a long time. It’s Eunwoo, right?” “…Senior Kim Yeseul?” Jung Eunwoo raises his head late, and surprise shows in his eyes. He jumped up from his seat. “Was this your farm, Senior?” “It’s my farm. Wow, I’m not even a hunter anymore. Please feel free to call me Noona.” “No, that’s a bit.” “Oh my. You’ve grown a lot, huh?” Kim Yeseul put Jung Eunwoo in a headlock. Haeun opened her mouth at the appearance of the two people who looked friendlier than she thought. What is this? How do they know each other? She came here on Hunter Hwang Soomin’s recommendation. Kim Yeseul must have noticed Haeun’s gaze and turned her head. She approached Haeun with great strides and extended her hand to Haeun. “Hunter Jung Haeun, right? Eunwoo’s younger brother.” “Ah, yes…” “Nice to meet you. My name is Kim Yeseul.” She smiled brightly with a wrinkled smile around her mouth. * * * It was surprising that Kim Yeseul, who knew Jung Eunwoo, was a hunter who used to be active in the Daehan Guild. ‘Come to think of it, Lee Hyeonok once threatened to let me do tangerine farming.’ Although she had been recommended to an expert who was familiar with the system, she never imagined that the person she was talking to would be someone who had been kicked out by Lee Hyeonok, the leader of the Daehan Guild. She took off her large straw hat and fanned her hands. It was cold enough to say it was winter now, but she was constantly sweating. “I didn’t know you were in a place like this.” “Haha. I never thought the day would come when Eunwoo would visit my farm like this.” Jung Eunwoo had been a hunter the longest of the three, and he had been on a dungeon raid with her before, so he greeted her warmly. “Don’t you know her, Seo Dojoon-ssi?” “I’ve only heard the name. When I became a hunter, she had already retired.” “Aha.” Then it can happen. Haeun nodded her head. “Since I farm tangerines, the only thing I have to eat is tangerines. Still, I earn a lot.” “Yes, thank you for this food.” Seo Dojoon politely received the tangerine, which was filled with so many bowls that it overflowed. The bouncy orange color looked fresh. Kim Yeseul spoke, as Haeun was just looking at her. “I harvested it earlier in the morning. Try one. Because it’s delicious.” At the subsequent recommendation, Haeun peeled a tangerine and put it in her mouth. Juice explodes in her mouth. As she said, it was sweet, not sour, and very delicious. Haeun shouted with her eyes shining. “It’s really good!” “Right? Our farm tangerines are the best on Jeju Island.” “I had no idea that this was your farm. I’ve heard rumors that you’ve returned to farming.” At Jung Eunwoo’s word, Kim Yeseul gave a faint smile and rested her chin on her hand. “Because I came down quietly.” “Haeun, did you know that when you asked me to come here?” “No way.” She didn’t even know that that person was such a famous hunter. She was a hunter whom Lee Hyeonok praised to the point where she said she was considering her as the next Great Guild leader. ‘Besides, Jung Eunwoo also seems to be quite polite to her.’ If Jung Eunwoo is polite enough, she is definitely not ordinary. “So what’s going on on Jeju Island? Are you here to play?” “That’s not it. I’m here to attack an undisclosed dungeon.” “Hmm. An undisclosed dungeon?” “It’s near Udo Island, do you know?” “Ah… then, I know.” Kim Yeseul’s face looked strangely uncomfortable as she blurred the end of her words. However, she immediately smiled cheerfully and patted Jung Eunwoo on the back. “Ahaha. As expected, our Eunwoo is busy. You were still a student when I was active.” “That was already a few years ago.” “Well, that’s true. Still, it’s nice to see you again after such a long time. Today is the first time I’ve actually seen Hunter Seo Dojoon, but I’m glad to see him. I saw you a lot on TV.” “No. I.” Kim Yeseul shook hands with Seo Dojoon and turned her gaze to Haeun. Haeun swallowed her saliva. She said, smiling favorably. “I never thought I would get to see the one and only EX-Class in person. I think I said it before, but it’s an honor to meet you, Hunter Jung Haeun.” “Haha, it’s nothing.” “It must be difficult to have Eunwoo as your older brother. You’ve worked hard.” “No, senior. What do you mean…” “Wow. You know that well. That’s right!” This is why Jung Eunwoo is being polite! She was a very smart person. Haeun’s liking for Kim Yeseul increased rapidly.
