I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild - Chapter 248



248 – Abduction – The reason she lives 4

Lieutenant Lee Jin-hyun is bleeding in front of his eyes.

Watching him get hit by the Abyss instead of me, I hurriedly approached him.

“damn!”

I swung the gun I was holding and broke the Abyss’ claws.

Fortunately, at the end of this attack, Abyss completely stopped breathing, and then I hurriedly brought a medical kit that was always deployed.

“after… ”

After taking out the medical pack for sealing, I carefully grabbed the claw fragment stuck in his abdomen.

If it is not treated immediately the moment it is pulled out, life will be in danger due to excessive bleeding.

That said, it was all the more impossible to call a medical team or take him there in this state.

Considering that fact, I was gripped with more pressure and tension than when I was just about to die against the Abyss.

‘You mustn’t make a mistake.. Never.. I’d rather not know if someone like me died.. You can’t let someone die because of me..’

With trembling hands, I grabbed my toenails and once again made up my mind.

The more I did, the more the burden increased, but nevertheless, I had no intention of avoiding this situation.

Avoiding responsibility caused by me is unacceptable.

After making that last resolution.

I applied force and pulled out the toenail.

“Keuuuuuu!!!!”

At the same time, his painful scream erupted.

Then I immediately applied the medic pack to his wound and activated it.

A medical pack that temporarily constricts torn blood vessels and soothes muscles to stabilize wounds.

Fortunately, as if there were no major problems with the treatment, his blood, flowing like a fountain, stopped quickly.

His face also started to feel more relaxed.

“Kuh…heh… Ugh… ”

The person who was breathing hard with a voice soaked in pain.

Of course, this was only a successful first aid treatment, and after a little stabilization, I had to take him to the hospital as soon as possible.

As I took a deep breath, I sat down next to him with a feeling of momentary relaxation.

“… ha.. thank you. It seems much better.”

“… .”

The man who thanked me in a difficult voice.

Even though he was injured in my place, his face at this moment was rather relieved.

Seeing him like this, I started to feel deep guilt and doubt at the same time.

“..why?.. why did you do this. You have nothing to do with me, so why the hell?”

Uncharacteristically for me, I asked a question in a fit of emotion.

All the while, I had the idea that it didn’t matter if I died at any time.

Nevertheless, this man threw himself without hesitation to save something like this dying ember.

Feeling the pain of that fact, I asked him with a heart that could be called self-criticism in a way.

and..

In response to my question, the man said with a troubled smile on his lips.

“Because you… are the one who believed in me… because you trusted my words… and entrusted your life to me… at least for this moment… it would be the right thing for me to protect your life.”

“!…”

words he hadn’t thought of.

In it, there was a will to take responsibility for the person who believed in him.

Even if you die in the process…

Even if that target is… a person you’ve only known for a few minutes.

Recognizing that fact,

I was able to figure out one thing about this man in front of me.

‘It’s strong.. really.. to the extent that it can’t be compared to someone like me..’

Giving orders to someone can be interpreted in a completely different way depending on how you accept them.

And… most people. There was a tendency to think of this as simply dealing with tools.

It was because it was the most comfortable way externally and for oneself from the standpoint of those who stood at the top.

However, this man did not.

The look of this person in front of me at this moment…

Even if it meant putting himself in danger, he was fully aware of the responsibility and tried to keep it to the end.

A completely different look from me who doesn’t even want to take responsibility for my own life..

Recognizing that fact, I began to feel as if a strange sensation was blooming in a corner of my heart.

I’ve never experienced anything in my life…

I can’t put it into words, but it’s such a feeling that something makes my heart tremble.

*

Lee Jin-hyeon, an adjutant of the 28th guild belonging to the Korean military.

My meeting with him ended when I hurriedly took him to the military hospital.

As the injury was quite severe, he underwent surgery right away, and before I could see the end, I returned to the front where the war with the Abyss continued.

According to the story I heard later, fortunately, the operation was completed safely, and right after that, he returned to Korea with the 28th Guild.

and..

Immediately after hearing such a story, I began to feel a deep sense of relief in my heart, as well as an unknown feeling of loneliness.

A feeling I’ve never felt before.

It wasn’t until after a while that I realized what this was and what it meant.

It was after experiencing a turning point in my life that occurred not long after that.

“after… ”

With a nervous sigh, I looked at the store in front of me.

Cheongju is a city in South Korea.

A cafe located in the center of it.

Before facing that person who was inside me, I made up my mind once again.

What to talk about right after meeting that person..

How to deal with him, I was still unsure of anything.

However, at least one thing was clear.

no matter how she treats me The fact that I will live to protect her from now on.

-With my daughter~

“welcome!”

Carefully opened the door and went inside.

What comes immediately is the bright voice of a woman.

At the same time, I walked towards the person standing at the counter.

and..

“…uh?”

“… .”

She looks at me with a blank expression for a moment.

Although it was almost as if we were meeting for the first time, it was a natural reaction.

If the person standing there was me, I would have the same expression…

If you see someone who looks just like you, you would have reacted the same way.

“..Nice to meet you. Han Soo-young.”

I politely greeted her in front of me.

A woman who looks exactly like herself, who knows her name.

She was still confused by that fact, and didn’t say anything.

“Nice to meet you like this. My name is Iare. They are sisters born of the same parents as you.”

“..n.. yes?”

followed by greetings,

I held out in front of her the adoption certificate I had pulled out in advance along with my ID.

A document with the names of the parents who gave birth to me written on it.

In response, she looked at the contents of the document with a confused expression on her face for a while.

Seeing her like this, I had a feeling of deep tension and a little anticipation.

‘This is my older sister… The only person with the same blood as me that I can call family.’

Of course, I didn’t know much about her yet because I had such thoughts.

But, nevertheless, I was determined to do everything I could for this person in front of me.

Although my existence is not as strong as that person…

At least, thinking that I would be able to be prepared enough to protect someone I care about.

However, at this moment I didn’t know yet.

This person in front of me… my older sister,

The fact that he was a greater person than I thought.

And, the person who made such an older sister exist.

That person, no one else…

The fact that it was the same person who stole my heart without even knowing it.
