Self-Employed With Instant Death

13 – Practice (1)

I made a prepared return.

For him, I have only one goal.

To make your brother happy.

After becoming a Hunter, the relationship between me and my brother has grown farther and farther.

I found the cause there, and set this as a short-term goal.

It succeeds as a shop inherited from his father, not as a hunter.

“Is this enough success?”

I sat at the counter and stared blankly at the numbers.

-Today’s sales: 3,633,000

What is the precise criterion for success?

what am i… Not even a philosopher. I don’t know the details.

But one thing was certain: money.

money. In the 21st century, that alone is the criterion for success. At least for a commoner like me.

If so, how much money do you have to earn to be successful?

This is different for each person, though.

I had an exact target amount.

‘300 per day, 9,000 per month. Roughly, the net profit is over 4,000… ‘

I started to do some rough calculations.

As a result, one conclusion was drawn.

‘possible. Chewable.’

There is no problem in feeding my brother.

4,000 kicks a month is enough to pay for my brother’s school fees and dungeon toll fees.

Weapons and artifacts are numerous in the ‘inventory’ in the past life, so that’s out of the question.

‘Oh My God.’

I couldn’t control the furrowing of my lips.

It’s been about a week since I returned.

To be honest, I took about a year to reach my goal.

But it has already been accomplished.

indescribable joy. Unknowingly, I raised my arms to the sky.

“Boss, I finished washing the dishes… … .”

“… … .”

“Ahh. sorry Come to think of it, there are still dishes left to wash… … ”

I strode closer to Saerom.

“Mr. Saerom.”

“I-I didn’t see anything!”

“thank you. Eugene too.”

He bowed his head to Eugene, who came out before he knew it.

Saerom was slightly taken aback, and Eugene lowered his head.

‘I have to give you a reward.’

He wasn’t a bad boss who could only express his gratitude through words.

I hurriedly opened the store drawer and took out a post-it note and a ballpoint pen.

Then, he roughly scribbled the letters and handed them to them.

“Here you go.”

“What is this?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

-Han Seong-hoon’s Sowon-kwon (no money-related things!)

“Cow, wish ticket?”

It’s a bit of a puzzled expression.

I said with a grin.

“Except for money, I will help you no matter what.”

“Me, that, then!”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Yeah?”

“That can’t be done.”

“… You haven’t said anything yet?”

Saerom made a puzzled expression. I know even if you don’t listen It must have been a ploy to attract them to the government because they wanted it at this time.

I grinned.

“It is worth more than you think. Believe it or not, you are free.”

‘The fact that I didn’t know them in my previous life means that I failed to succeed in the end.’

All high-ranking officials were aware of it. I was the only S-class Hunter belonging to the government.

Even if I didn’t know Saerom, there was no way I didn’t know Eugene, who was at the level of team leader. And it came to my mind recently, the team leader of the ‘Emergency Response Committee’ was a man, not a woman.

There are two possibilities. I was demoted for some reason, or I was fired.

It was a wish granted with that in mind. I intend to help at least once in any case.

No matter what the purpose of these girls is, it is certain that they have been of great help to me.

“You worked hard today. Go home.”

Saying that, I folded my apron and picked up my phone.

‘I should eat out with Chaewon.’

I was busy with work and couldn’t take care of my brother. However, since I earned a lot today, maybe they will look after me?

I entered KakaoTalk with that thought in mind… …

– Jurr.

A cold sweat fell.

-Chaewon (76)

… It was because Chaewon’s angry emoticon blurred my eyes.

**

“I hate you.”

Chaewon came out of the house with a heartache on her face.

Today is the academy practice day.

Since it was a dungeon where the undead appeared, it was 7:00 PM today.

It was a common occurrence for the academy that raised hunters.

However, Chaewon is dissatisfied.

“How could that be? The older brother doesn’t even know the day of the younger brother’s training session.”

… This is Seong-hoon, a heartless older brother who has not been in touch since morning.

Originally, it was because I should have chatted with myself a lot because I was bored because there were no customers.

Of course, she knew that the store was busy because of what had gone viral on YouTube, but Chaewon was still too young to consider such a thing.

Since I grew up relying on Sung Hoon from a young age, I become an endless fool in front of him.

Anyway, Chaewon, who is full of complaints, suddenly thinks of this.

‘Shouldn’t I have gone to the store?’

Come to think of it, I hadn’t thought about going there first.

However, today’s practice was reflected in the grades, so there was a situation where I had been practicing a lot from the morning. I was so nervous that I couldn’t even eat properly. It was unreasonable to go in such a situation.

“Han Chae-won!”

At that time, Shia came into sight. Chaewon forgot her sullenness and smiled brightly as she ran away.

Chaewon has been secretly bullied since middle school.

Sia, whom she met for the first time after entering high school, was a precious friend.

“Did you prepare well?”

Sia asked with her hands behind her back.

Chaewon heard the sound and went dark.

I said I was preparing hard, but my brother didn’t contact me, so I couldn’t concentrate properly.

“It’s ruined… ”

“why? What’s going on?”

Shia blinked.

Chaewon couldn’t do it even if she died because she couldn’t properly prepare for practice because she was thinking about her brother.

“Oh, nothing happened. What about you, Shia?”

“What am I… .”

Shia slightly closed one of her eyes.

“Not perfect.”

“Also. Shiaya. amazing!”

clap clap clap

Chaewon made an innocent expression and clapped.

In many ways, Shia is the object of envy and jealousy.

The only daughter of the No. 1 company in Korea, and even her own abilities are outstanding.

However, Chaewon did not have the slightest feeling of jealousy. Always cheering and rejoicing.

Perhaps it was because of this that the two of them were able to become friends.

“Ugh, uhm. Anyway, let’s go quickly. I will be late.”

Sia held out her hand, blushing slightly after she boasted about it. Her face was not very thick.

**

A night without a single star.

Chaewon and Sia arrived at the gate.

“Are you guys in Group D?”

The professor in combat uniform raised his glasses.

“Yes, that is correct!”

“You’re lucky, the other kids said they went all the way to Busan.”

Several gates were distributed in Seoul, but there were relatively few dungeons that the cadets could practice safely.

For this reason, academy cadets often had to move to other regions for practice.

“Iknow, right. I guess I’m lucky!”

Chaewon replied cheerfully.

“That’s all good too. It is assigned randomly.”

‘Come to think of it, it’s strange.’

Chaewon tilted her head and thought.

My classmates once had the experience of going to another area for practice.

However, only himself and his best friend Siaman always practiced in the Seoul area.

‘Am I really lucky?’

Chaewon, lost in thought, subconsciously looked at Sia next to her.

Shia looked at herself and smiled faintly.

‘Could it be Shiaga?’

She shook her head.

It was an unbelievable imagination.

Why would Chae-ah do such a thing?

“Greetings, this is the Hunter who will accompany you.”

“hello.”

“Nice to meet you, everyone.”

A dungeon is a dungeon, no matter how low the difficulty is.

A hunter accompanying them in case of an emergency was essential.

The professor smiled.

“Then, would you all take out your student ID? Even if it’s a formality, it needs to be confirmed.”

“Yes, here!”

“Here it is.”

The two handed the student ID to the professor.

The professor glanced at the student ID card and returned it.

“Is everyone ready?”

“Yes, I am ready!”

Chaewon’s party shouted loudly.

“If something happens, you know what to do, right?”

“Yes. I know. You just have to press the button on the bracelet, right?”

“Okay, isn’t it simple? Is Hunter ready too?”

“Yes, I am ready.”

“Take care of the children! You guys should be careful too?”

– Nod.

The party lowered their heads and entered the dungeon entrance with trembling hearts.

-Saaa!

A bright light enveloped the group.

It came into the dungeon.

When I opened my eyes, it was the background of a gloomy cemetery.

“Ugh, the atmosphere is scary.”

Chaewon said in a trembling voice.

“If you’re scared, stick by my side.”

“No, it’s okay. I have to be strong too!”

Yoo Shia looked at Chae Won with a proud expression.

“You two get along really well.”

“Yes, we are best friends. Thank you for your patience today, Hunter.”

“I really wish you well. Shall we use our common name? I am Kangjun Lee.”

Chaewon bowed 90 degrees.

“hello! My name is Han Chae-won.”

“nice to see you. I am Yusia.”

“Nice to meet you, everyone must be popular because they’re pretty, right? This is also meant to be, so let’s shake hands.”

“Yeah! like!”

So the two finished greeting the man.

“Well then… ”

The man rubbed his palms.

“We shared the last warmth. Let’s die, guys.”

“… Yeah?”

The man’s expression softened for an instant.

“Let’s die, I’m the type of person who gives a death sentence as a greeting.”

“Huh, Hunter?”

“Chaewon-ah, avoid!”

As Yoo Shia hurriedly shouted, Chaewon lowered her head.

– Swoop!

Moments later, a sharp blade passed over her head.

“… !”

Chaewon’s eyes widened.

“Ha, I didn’t have any ill feelings, so I tried to finish it with a single knife. avoid it.”

“What is this!?”

“Blame your luck. You will die because of that bitch next to you.”

“Are you Shia?”

A gun was suddenly in Yusia’s hand.

“Chaewon, come this way!”

Let her cry urgently. Han Chae-won quickly moved next to Yoo-shia.

“Well, it wouldn’t be any different.”

“You have to do it to know.”

Yushia pulled the trigger at the man.

Each heavy bullet drew a trajectory in a spiral.

“A gun… Are you going to die?”

The man said in a calm voice.

Then, it disappeared in an instant and appeared right in front of Yusia.

“… !”

“Sorry. If I had grown more, I could have become an S-class Hunter.”

The man strangled Yusia’s neck.

“Kuh, kuk!”

“Should I thank you? If I kill you, a very large amount will come in.”

at that time.

Chaewon, who was next to her, threw her shield.

The man easily grabbed it with one hand.

“You wait too, because it’s you after him. Two academy cadets. Killed by a boss monster. kya Aren’t the pictures nice?”

“Does it make sense to die in a low-level dungeon like this? No one will believe you?”

“It’s a different story if you’re a pro.”

The man’s hands were full of power.

The more this happened, the more Yusia suffered.

“Let go of Sia!”

Chaewon felt resentful of herself.

My best friend is suffering like that and I can’t do anything about it.

“K-Kuh Chaewon, run away!”

Shia said in a cracking voice.

“Someone please help!”

he couldn’t do anything

I just keep pressing the button on my bracelet.

“Anyway, no one comes. Just wait quietly for your turn.”

“please! please! anyone… !”

It was then.

A mysterious voice was heard from somewhere.

“Cowardly. They bully the kids.”

Chaewon turned her head in the direction of the sound, but no one was there.

“Could it be, brother?”

It was a voice I had heard many times before.

This voice is unmistakable.

was his brother

“Who are you! How did you find out about this place?”

“I came in through the entrance. Ask something obvious?”

“Don’t just hide, come out right now, you coward!”

“You are the coward, the female student there. Would you like to close your eyes for a second?”

“… Snow?”

“Quickly!”

Chaewon covered her eyes with doubts.

“Never open your eyes. Got it? Because teenagers can’t watch it.”

‘Can’t watch teenagers?’

Chaewon gently put her hand away.

It was Chaewon who couldn’t stand not being able to watch teenagers.
