Netori Heroine

To conclude, I passed the C-rank Hunter promotion exam without a hitch.

It was a more difficult test than I thought, but it wasn't a difficult test for me, who was already a D-rank hunter.

A special dungeon that is said to appear very rarely? Thanks to observation, it wasn't difficult at all.

A one-on-one duel with an instructor? The attacks of a mere C-rank hunter were not enough to break through my heal, which had grown to its full potential.

Other hunters complained that it was the greatest test of all time, but I didn't agree with that at all.

I was able to pass the exam with flying colors and a record high score.

"Wow… I was an F-rank hunter last month, and now I'm a C-rank hunter!"

Since awakening 'Heroine Netori', everything has gone well.

I'm telling you, you really never know what's going to happen to people.

Jiing!

[Hello, Hunter Gamdeokbae? My name is Jin Myeongun from the Twosome Guild. It's none other than…]

[This is Angel Guild with a heavenly atmosphere! Hello? Recently, Hunter Gamdeokbae…]

[Hello. This is Hasam Guild contacting you after hearing about Hunter's promotion test…]

I can't believe I, a slacker living in a corner of my room, am getting so many love calls.

This is something I never could have imagined.

By the way,

What should I do with this?

I have no intention of joining a guild.

I don't know how they found out, but they kept calling me on my personal number, and honestly, I was happy at first.

It's annoying because it's getting to the point where it's a nuisance.

Jiing!

Jeeeeing!

Oh, seriously! Stop it.

Isn't this illegal? Isn't there a personal information protection law or something?

[Sender: Lee Hyun-ah]

Oh, it was HyunA.

**

It's not that I particularly dislike guilds.

There are many advantages to joining a guild, including making new friends and gaining information.

But is it right for me to join a guild right now? The answer is no.

I am an irregular being who can grow to my full potential as 'Heroine Netori'.

There will be differences in growth speed compared to other hunters, and skills that are difficult to obtain will also increase without stopping.

It is not right to have affiliations in this situation.

People will suspect that I have something to hide, and that will soon turn into jealousy and envy that will plague me.

But why join a guild? Absolutely not.

For me, joining a guild has more disadvantages than advantages.

Jiying

[Hello? Sir. Where are you?]

[Almost done. Stop whining because I'm not running away.]

[Hehehe… Okay! I'll be waiting!]

But that's all done for now!

Let's have some fun today. We've been running nonstop for ten days, so we should take a day off.

To celebrate her promotion, she decided to have a small party at HyunA's house.

I always drop Hyuna off when she's drunk, so today I decided to just drink at her house from the beginning.

By the way, I didn't bring it up. HyunA invited me. I'm going to cook for her this time as a way to repay her favor?

My cooking skills may not be as good as those of a chef, but I still look forward to the food a woman makes.

Ding dong!

"The door is open! Come in!"

But I'm also worried about this kid. How can he be so defenseless?

Of course, I feel good because he trusts me that much, but I'm also worried because Hyuna is almost like a younger sister to me now.

What if I get caught by a bad guy and get beaten up?

Sigh, I need to take care of the country too.

"Excuse me~"

"Ugh! What is that? Excuse me~"

Oh… This is the first time I've seen you in an apron.

No matter how many times you look at it, it's still incredibly destructive. At that level, you don't have to worry about spilling it on the floor.

**

"Cheers!"

"Cheers…"

"Hey!"

braided!

As the empty soju bottles piled up one by one, Hyuna's voice gradually grew louder.

I'm anxious... I'm worried that I'll get into trouble again if I keep doing this.

"Now tell me about the sparring!"

"Haa… You know this is already the third time?"

"Hehehe… But it's still fun to hear!"

"… That's right. I thought it was no joke. That's what I mean…"

But this time, the atmosphere was good because there was no bitter story like before.

Stories of fighting with my boyfriend, stories of my boyfriend cheating on me, etc. What a painful time that was!

On the other hand, today I felt at ease because the stories only continued about my activities.

Actually, I've never had a day as active as I did today in my life, so I wanted to brag a little bit...

Hyuna kept nagging me to listen to her story, whether she knew it or not, so I was able to brag to her heart's content.

"Wow! As expected, you're amazing, mister!"

"Oh, really? Even I think it's a bit…"

"It's amazing how you can brag about yourself without changing your expression at all!"

"… … "

But maybe because he was drunk, he became a bit too honest.

"Pfft! What's with that expression! Hehe. Just kidding. Come on, eat this and cheer up."

"Don't treat it as a failure just because you think it's the right time."

"You call it a failure! Please consider it a novel attempt…"

Unfortunately, HyunA's cooking skills were below expectations. She had been living alone for quite some time, so I thought she could do the basics, but she wasn't like that at all.

Thanks to that, I cooked something new, but the food I made was quickly eaten up, and the food Hyuna made was still taking up space on the table.

"… But when are you going to tell me…?"

"Huh? What?"

"What are you talking about! You said you had something to talk about if I passed the exam…"

"Oh, that?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Now that I think about it, there was that. It's not that I forgot, I was going to talk to you a few days later, but since you're asking for this, I have to talk to you right away.

What I want to say to HyunA, for her sake and for my sake…

====

Since he came to the house, Hyun-ah Lee has been nervous.

Because what he said that day kept bothering me.

'If you pass this promotion test, I have something to tell you.'

'This is really important to you and to me.'

She had no idea what he was trying to say with such a serious expression.

However, there were a few things I could guess.

'You want me to go out with you? I finally did it?'

But that was unlikely.

No matter how aggressively I dashed, he would hit a wall.

But now that she's changed her mind, I don't think she'll ask me to go out with him.

It was the thing she wanted most, but it was also the thing she least expected to hear.

'Or... should we just break up now? You can't hang out with me anymore?'

This was highly probable.

For ten days, she had only taken the bus. He suddenly grew up and cleared a D-class dungeon on his own without her help, even though he was a healer.

In this situation, there was no reason for him, who had been promoted to C-rank, to go hunting with her.

So, although it was the thing she least wanted to hear, it was also the thing that was most realistic.

But my heart ached too much to admit it.

He was her only salvation when she was alone.

He was too precious to her to break up with him now.

I really didn't want to let it go like this.

So today was the last chance.

It was his chance to make her give him the answer she wanted, no matter what conclusion he reached.

So she forced herself to invite him to her house and, more boldly than usual, she even dressed up and cooked something she never did before.

but…

She couldn't do it.

He was his usual self and things between them didn't change.

I was smiling, but my heart was aching.

It was fun, but so painful.

I was happy but desperate.

'In the end… it's here.'

I felt like crying, but I held it back.

In the end, I wanted to be remembered with a smiling face.

So I asked him with as bright an expression as I could.

"… But when are you going to tell me…?"

"Huh? What?"

"What are you talking about! You said you had something to talk about if I passed the exam…"

"Oh, that?"

"Yes, that's it!"

I resented him for speaking as if it was no big deal.

She couldn't figure out what he was talking about and why he was talking like that.

But looking at his attitude, I somehow got the feeling that it might be a more trivial story than I thought.

Suddenly hope arose.

'That's how much you depend on me, mister! Then, then. You must have just been joking.'

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed right.

The tension was relieved. I burst into laughter.

Until then, I felt like I was the only one being so nervous and making a fool of myself.

'You were so stupid to worry! You were bad too. Playing with a woman's heart?'

I was upset, but I still felt good.

I was happy just knowing that the worst I thought would happen didn't happen.

I hated the man in front of me, but I still liked him that much.

Now I felt like I could accept whatever he said.

As she waited for his answer with a bright smile, he started talking as if it was nothing.

"Hyun-ah, you should quit being a hunter."
