Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 195
Episode 195
* * *
The whole city is quiet.
There are three days left until the 9th floor of the labyrinth blooms. Most people have already evacuated to outlying shelters or underground bunkers.
The only people left were either hunters or people who snorted and ignored the evacuation recommendation. If I tried to force him to take me, he would make a fuss, so I left him alone. I will take care of my life.
“It looks like a ghost town.”
Korean Association Headquarters, President’s Office. Seo-ra looked down at the street, which was unusually quiet.
It felt like watching an apocalypse movie with only armed hunters wandering around.
“We will drain all magical power from the shelter tomorrow. “Awakened people who have not already contracted with the Eucharist are standing guard both inside and outside the shelter.”
Hearing Song Hanna’s words, Seo Ra nodded. Now it was time for everyone to go to their respective seats and get ready.
“Seong Ja-rim is also waiting at a shelter in the Gyeonggi area, and Kang Se-jun will be staying at the association headquarters from today.”
The only person left was Seora, who was leaving for Labyrinth Island.
“…Are you okay, Seora?”
Hannah Song looked at her niece with a worried face. Although he himself was no different from danger, he seemed like a person who had to stand still and send people to death alone.
“Do not worry. “Everyone is doing their own thing in their own place, and it’s the same for me.”
“It’s okay to just get to S-level, but why not get to L-level?”
There was no hesitation in the words of lament, perhaps because they had been stored away for quite some time. Seora giggled.
“I really hated getting stronger, but I’m okay with it now. “Thanks to you, I was able to achieve my wish.”
“What wish? “Your wish has already come true.”
Killing the magical beast of the Cheorwon Dungeon that drove Mom and Dad to death.
As a result, Seo-ra was awakened to L-class, but Seo-ra’s dream did not end there.
“I’ll tell you later. Anyway, what is certain is that I have no intention of dying until my wish comes true. You know me, right? “What you set your mind to, you will definitely achieve.”
“know. I know very well. “If I don’t know, who will?”
While making a confused face, Song Hanna patted Seo Ra’s shoulder.
“This is the president of the association, Do Jun-young. “I came with Kang Se-jun.”
At that time, Do Jun-young and Kang Se-jun came with a knock on the door.
When I asked them to come in, two people with stiff faces entered.
I never thought they looked alike, but their facial expressions now look similar as if I was looking in a mirror. Seora burst out laughing.
“What is it that makes you smile as soon as you see someone’s face?”
When Kang Se-jun muttered sullenly, Seo-ra smiled and waved her hand.
“No, because your and Director Do’s expressions are so similar. Why are you so stiff? Are you trying to imitate a statue? “Is your future dream to become an exhibit at the Louvre Museum?”
“Seeing you make ridiculous jokes, I don’t think you’re nervous at all.”
“I’m not going alone and there’s nothing I can do if I fail, so what’s going to change if I’m nervous? You, don’t just stand there and scream and commit suicide. Then it’s really over. “You know what I mean?”
Seo-ra poked Kang Se-jun on the shoulder. When Kang Se-jun was told not to even dream of returning, he frowned but nodded. I didn’t even apply much force, but the shoulder where Seo-ra’s fingers touched felt strangely painful.
“Director Do too. Your brother and Director Ali are there, so please straighten your face. “Your face alone is enough to kill me.”
“…sorry. “I can’t control it.”
Unlike Kang Se-jun, who relaxed a little, Do Jun-young’s face became even more serious. Even his complexion was so pale that he looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.
“Director Do, even if I told you not to worry, would you still be worried?”
“yes.”
I thought so. Seora rolled her eyes for a moment, but then opened her arms wide.
“Would it be better if I hugged you?”
“…yes?”
The frozen face shook for the first time. Seo-ra smiled and walked up to Do Jun-young, hugged his shoulder and patted his back. Because he was so tall and bulky, it was difficult to hug him.
“I know you’re always worried about me. So I am always grateful. I’ll come back safely. I haven’t even been able to use the birthday present you gave me this time. “Don’t worry, I’ll wear it around until it all comes off.”
“….”
Do Jun-young was stiff and couldn’t say anything. When I slowly pulled away from him, he looked like he was in a mix of embarrassment, shame, joy, and worry. Seo-ra smiled brightly, looking much better than before when she was just pale and frozen.
“You believe me, right?”
“…yes.”
Only after a long time did the answer come back. Seo-ra laughed. Song Hanna, Kang Se-jun, and Do Jun-young. Even if we separated for a while, they were precious people who we would meet again soon.
“Then I’ll come back!”
Since he had already said his goodbyes enough, Seo Ra waved his hand and left the association with a bright face.
Since I had only stayed at Song Hannah’s house so far, I was about to go back to my house, pack my bags, and then leave for the airport.
As soon as she arrived home, Seo-ra packed her combat uniform, emergency food, and emergency relief supplies and took a last look around the house before leaving.
“I need my house to be safe.”
I have achieved my dream of owning my own home with a penthouse, but if this place were destroyed in a battle, I would be very angry, not to mention sad. I will never forgive anyone who destroys this house.
“Now then…”
To leave the house, I passed through the living room and took a step towards the front door. however.
“…uh?”
At the same time, my head was spinning and I felt bad.
It was a very dirty feeling, as if something was dragging my feet and I was in a sticky swamp.
weird. I’ve felt this shitty feeling once, but when was it?
So, it was just as dirty as when I heard the news that the entire castle tower guild had been murdered…
〖“Seora-ya!”〗
I heard the manager desperately calling out as if the ominous feeling was correct. It was the painful voice she heard whenever she was terribly injured. Seo-ra lowered her body and was wary of her surroundings.
‘Has that real helper appeared? What kind of attack…’
But she couldn’t continue her thoughts beyond that.
“….”
A voice rang in my ears. no. I don’t know if it’s my ears, my head, or whether it’s making this house cry.
However, it was a voice that I so desperately missed… that I desperately wanted to hear.
So, even though I thought I shouldn’t do this, my vigilance naturally dissipated.
“…mom?”
Because it is the voice of a loving mother who is sweet, gentle, and always kind. Not knowing that the enemy was trying to break my sanity, I listened to the voice telling me to stand.
Plus, it wasn’t just my mom.
As soon as she heard her father’s sad voice, Seo-ra’s head turned reflexively.
Up until now, I was definitely alone, and there was no one in the house, but my mom and dad were smiling brightly, holding hands in the distance. He was smiling and gesturing for me to come here quickly.
Like in the past, when our eyes met, he always smiled as if he had been waiting.
“…uh?”
When was that?
What do you mean by old times?
Mom and Dad have never left me and I’m still alive like this. What kind of strange thoughts am I having?
okay. Mom and Dad are smiling brightly at me like that.
We’ve never been apart.
“mom and dad…?”
“Come here quickly! “We decided to go out today.”
“You didn’t forget, right? “You said you couldn’t sleep last night because you were so excited.”
“Mom also packed kimbap. “We also have tofu sushi!”
“Daughter, let’s go quickly.”
Mom and Dad held out their hands at the same time. The same smile as theirs appeared on Seora’s face as she stared at them blankly. As if I went back 13 years.
“huh!”
Seora took a step towards them.
〖”no! Come on! Come to your senses!”〗
But the annoying voice kept catching her. Seo Ra’s face contorted in fear of missing her mother and father over there.
what. What on earth is stopping me?
I can’t let go of Mom and Dad, but why do you keep holding on to me? Don’t disturb me. I’m going to my mom and dad.
Seo-ra shook off the annoying attempts to catch her and ran to her parents. A warm embrace, like a blanket dried in the sun, welcomed her.
Ah, the embrace I missed so much.

“Huh!”
Baek Hee-won, who had been meticulously drawing a protective magic circle around her house, fell into her seat with her forehead pressed against a sudden feeling of dizziness. In an instant, my entire body was drenched in sweat.
“…what?”
It wasn’t just a headache or anything. I felt cold, as if my whole body was frozen in ice. The hand holding my forehead was shaking.
Baek Hee-won focused on the energy surrounding her entire body. I’ve felt it before. This is the fear I felt when I received a warning look.
“This is…”
She originally had miraculous abilities, but when she awakened, those abilities were fully developed. But I never once thought of it as a blessing. Because I was able to see what others could not see, I also felt his energy.
This fear that made my whole body tremble was exactly the same as what I had experienced at that moment.
“Administrator…?”
The system administrator was now looking at himself.
