Chapter 10: Secret Photographer(1)

Three days later, I scheduled the E-rank hunter promotion test and left the Association.

Honestly, I was prepared to be caught for not having awakened a skill.

But when Eun Manager saw the Inventory skill.

Whoa! Inventory is amazing! This is the first time I’ve seen a special awakened one who has awakened such an incredible skill! This skill will cause a huge upheaval in the hunter industry!

…She praised me so much that I was honestly taken aback.

I don’t think it’s something to make such a fuss about.

Of course, Inventory is a really convenient ability.

It’s true that it’s an amazing ability that the goddess herself used the expression authority.

Just by doing loading and unloading work, I can become the god of the logistics industry.

It’s practically like becoming a living large ship.

“…Manager…skill…”

“Suhyeon…ship…”

At that time, my sensitive hearing accidentally caught the sound.

I turned my gaze to the place where the sound was coming from, and it was the Hunter Association building I had just left.

But no matter how good my hearing is, I couldn’t hear properly from this distance.

I felt like I heard my name, so I wanted to listen more carefully.

I put mana in my ears and enhanced my hearing.

Mana was so versatile that it could be used in this way.

Listening to the voice, it was Eun Manager and someone I didn’t know talking about me.

Probably one of the civil servants who was there.

I eavesdropped on their conversation from over a hundred meters away.

Hmm. I see. I see.

It seems that higher-level guilds have a lot of trouble collecting monster corpses.

I was a porter for F-rank gates.

F-rank gates don’t have a lot of monsters, and most of the monsters are lighter than the average adult, so there was no big problem moving the monster corpses.

But that situation will change as you go to higher-level gates.

More vicious, bigger, and heavier beasts will run rampant.

Considering that situation, it was understandable that Eun Manager made such a fuss.

Storing monster corpses in the inventory…

‘It would work.’

If it’s a dead monster, not a living one, I can definitely store it in the inventory.

I hadn’t even thought about putting monsters in the inventory.

It was the harmful consequence of narrow-minded thinking caused by a lack of experience as a hunter.

‘I should take some time to learn about the inventory.’

There will be various uses that I haven’t thought of besides this.

My eyes met Eun Manager’s, who was looking down.

I was a little uncomfortable with someone talking about eating me or not.

But I smiled in return for giving me good information, and Eun Manager was startled.

I watched that scene and turned around again.

Things were going smoothly, which made me feel good.

‘When I feel good, I should have s*x.’

For me, s*x was a deep kiss with Dr. Pepper.

‘Where are you~ My Cutie Angel~’

Rumble, rumble!

Cutie♡Angel (Greatsword/Ego Sword/2m/22kg/Virgin) trembled inside the inventory, saying she was here.

‘No, not you.’

Uuuuung…

I comforted the sulking Cutie♡Angel and rummaged through the inventory.

It’s not there.

There’s no Dr. Pepper.

No matter how much I searched the inventory, I couldn’t see Dr. Pepper.

I definitely bought over twenty.

Did I already drink it all?

I didn’t even bring my wallet.

I was about to get depressed when my cell phone notifications rang in succession.

[Park Hyena deposited 900,000]

Huh? 900,000 won? Why did so much money come in?

The money I earned while working as a porter was only 100,000 won per gate.

But 900,000 won?

No matter how much the amount of money earned by porters and hunters differs, was it this big of a difference?

[Park Hyena]
[Goblin x20 = 400,000]
[Goblin Mana Core x20 = 200,000]
[Goblin Mage x1 = 200,000]
[Goblin Mage Mana Core x1 = 100,000]
[Thank you for your hard work today! The video is being edited first, skipping all others, so it will be uploaded tomorrow morning or lunch time! Please watch it!]

[Me]
[Yes. Hyena and Hyeonchan also worked hard. But I think there’s something wrong with the goblin hunting amount?]

[Park Hyena]
[Huh? Oh, I think I gave it to you correctly? The trader said the corpses were in very good condition and added more than the average market price… Was there something wrong?]

[Me]
[No, we hunted as a party, so I think the amount wasn’t distributed properly. Hyena and Hyeonchan also participated, right?]

[Park Hyena]
[Hey, Mr. Suhyeon practically cleared this gate alone. This is right.]

Wow. What is this person? She doesn’t have an ordinary mindset.

When I first met her, she was in the top 5% of hunter personalities, but this kind of appearance was in the top 0.1%.

To have such a benevolent heart among those greedy hunters.

I really got a good connection.

I ended the conversation appropriately and quickly headed to the convenience store to get Dr. Pepper.

Ding-dong.

“Welcome, oh!”

‘It’s that worker from last time.’

The worker who was at the counter when I caused a scene a few days ago greeted me.

I smiled awkwardly and accepted the greeting.

“Hello. I’m sorry about last time. I caused trouble.”

“Huh? Ah. No, no! It’s okay! Please come and cause trouble often!”

This woman also seems to be out of her mind.

There’s a worker who welcomes trouble.

She was a talent that convenience store owners across the country would covet.

“How much Dr. Pepper stock do you have here?”

“Um… Four boxes of 80 cans.”

Oh my god. Four boxes of Dr. Pepper? And 80 cans per box?

This convenience store knows what’s up.

“Give me all of them.”

“Huh? All of them?”

“Yes. All. Of. Them.”

I cleaned out the convenience store’s Dr. Pepper stock.

“It’s 320,000 won.”

I spent about a third of the money I earned on Dr. Pepper, but I thought it was a very reasonable purchase.

Because if I don’t have Dr. Pepper for even a day, the world will collapse, society will collapse, and I will be very distressed and exhausted.

I took out a can of Dr. Pepper from the box and gave it to the worker.

“Have some while you work. It’s really delicious. This.”

“…Ah. …Yes.”

The worker grabbed Dr. Pepper with her index finger and thumb and looked at it like it was food waste.

Tsk, sales failed.

I left the convenience store and put the box I was holding in the inventory.

Now that I’ve done all my business, it’s time to go home.

I took the subway to go home.

It was rush hour, so there were a lot of people.

“Hey, I heard there was a gate backflow in Incheon?”

“Huh? Wasn’t Incheon a gate-free zone? I heard there hasn’t been a gate there for decades.”

“But it was just uploaded to the community. It’s even a B-rank gate. Look. It’s like the gates of hell have opened.”

“Hey, but this subway goes through Incheon.”

“Hey, why are you worrying? The hunters will take care of it.”

“That’s true.”

I didn’t have earphones to block out the noise, so the surrounding noise was quite loud.

I felt like I did a lot of things during the day, so my body was stiff, and there was no seat to sit, so I had to stand.

‘I also went around the Goblin Gate, and I did a lot of things at the Hunter Association.’

I was going to enjoy life moderately.

How long has it been since I returned, and I’ve been too active.

‘I should really rest now.’

– Click!

The subway where only the sound of the tracks was ringing.

As if to break that silence, the sound of a camera shutter rang out inside the subway.

“Hey. You just took a picture of my body, right?!”

“Ah, no. This. It’s not that…”

Naturally, people’s gazes turned to that direction.

Where the shutter sound rang out, a male student wearing a school uniform was arguing with a tall woman wearing office attire.

“Don’t lie! I heard the shutter sound just now! You took a picture of me, didn’t you! And get your chest away from my head! It’s really uncomfortable?!”

“Th-That’s because my chest is too big, so I can’t help it even if I don’t want to… Ah, no. Before that, please listen to me…”

“Kyaaaaaaaak! It’s a pervert! Help me!”

“Ah, no… No… It’s really not…”

When the camera shutter sound was heard and the male student shed tears and asked for help, the attention of the surrounding people turned to that direction.

“What, a pervert? What kind of era is it that there are perverts?”

“Is that b*tch crazy? What is she doing to a student?”

“Wow, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone do something like that. It’s really creepy. Does she want to live like that?”

“Because those s*x offenders are making a fuss, innocent women are getting criticized together.”

“No, shouldn’t we help that male student first? Student. Are you okay?”

People started to comfort the student and criticize the molester.

It was a heartwarming scene no matter who saw it.

But I felt a strangely strange atmosphere.

A tall woman wearing office attire.

“It’s not… It’s really not… Really, huff… It’s really… not…”

The woman who was pointed out as the culprit could not make a proper excuse and began to shed tears as if she was really wronged.

Her chest heaved as she gasped for breath, and it looked like she was about to collapse at any moment.

‘Is that… the reaction of a molester?’

Usually, molesters or perverts choose to flee when their criminal acts are discovered.

Because the moment it becomes known that they committed such a crime, their reputation and the perception of the people around them will be completely shattered.

So no matter how much people around them try to hold them back, they shake them off and run away.

Or, they strongly deny being the culprit and rather go on a rampage and continue their crimes.

But that woman showed none of those reactions.

She just crouched down, hugged her arms, and trembled.

It was strange at a glance.

I approached the woman wearing office attire.

“Excuse me. Are you okay?”

What the.

She was completely panicked, her eyes were shaking wildly, and her lips were trembling.

“It’s not… It’s not… I really didn’t do it on purpose… Why…? Why are you doing this to me…? Why did I awaken such a skill…”

She kept muttering to herself.

Her condition seemed to be very serious.

“Excuse me!”

“Eek! Y-Yes?!”

When I grabbed her shoulder and shook her, the office attire woman bit her tongue.

“Ouch, h… It hurts… B-But… Wh-Who…”

I pointed to the crying male student in that corner and asked.

“That student. Are you really the one who took the picture?”

“Ah, no… It’s really not…”

“Then can I check your cell phone? If you’re really a molester, there will be a picture on your cell phone.”

“Ah… Yes! If-If I can clear my name by doing that… Okay.”

I received the cell phone from the office attire woman.

“Ah! W-Wait a minute!”

The woman suddenly changed her attitude and shouted.

It was a very desperate voice. Was she really the molester?

It was too late. I went straight into the gallery.

The gallery was full of 2D characters in all kinds of stimulating poses, appealing their important parts.

They were all male characters.

“Ah, sh*t…”

“Ah…”

It was really f*cking disgusting.

The office attire woman’s expression froze, and her pupils trembled as if there was an earthquake.

And she looked at me with a very desperate look.

…If this gets out, she will definitely be socially ostracized.

I’m trying to find evidence that I took a picture of the male student, not trying to find jjal. ( short for ‘erotic pictures’)

I erased the scene I just saw from my head as if nothing had happened.

It was summer.
