I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 109
Episode 110
When I opened the door and went out, Seo Ji-han smiled brightly when he saw this.
“Gather it!”
As soon as he called my name, he jumped up and hugged me.
I thought it would take quite a while, but it came back like a knife just in time for the materialization time cooldown.
He gave off a faint smell of dust and an acrid smell, like something burned.
Since there is no smell of blood, it looks like there is no injury.
“It smells good.”
Seo Ji-han hugged me tightly and took a deep breath.
After experiencing it a few times, I’ve gotten used to it, but my heart doesn’t beat as crazy as it did the first time.
But I couldn’t help but feel my face getting hot.
I tried to keep my composure and answered calmly.
“It’s kimchi stew. Do you like kimchi stew?”
The smell of kimchi stew is good.
Besides, he must be quite hungry, so I understand that it smells really good. Just
how long has it been since Seo Ji-han has eaten food?
It easily exceeds a few months.
He definitely deserves to be so impressed.
“What you did ? “I like anything ramen.”
The voice ringing in my ear sounded so incredibly sweet that I became very nervous.
Seo Ji-han seemed to feel my spine stiffening and laughed lightly.
Hey, don’t laugh in people’s ears.
It hurts my heart.
Wow, what Seo Ji-han says without even thinking about it. You can’t be swayed by it.
Come to your senses and put your hands together!
Seo Ji-han just wanted to eat kimchi stew so much.
Please, heart, stop!
If you don’t, you’ll die, right?
Run at a leisurely pace!
To hide my agitation, I pretended like nothing was wrong and pushed him away. .
And then I approached the place where Yoo Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu were.
I was worried about the person squirming at their feet.
Who was it?
Even when I got closer, I couldn’t tell who he was. He
was wrapped from head to toe in a large cloth bag. A pure white chain was wrapped around the sack.
I have seen this chain before.
Yu Eundam was tied to something like this when he was imprisoned.
“Who is it?”
“Ban Seo-jin,”
Seo Ji-han answered immediately.
It was a harvest that exceeded expectations . .
I thought he would bring a document containing information about his imprisonment, but unexpectedly, he immediately rescued Ban Seo-jin.
“How?”
“Well, since you can pass anywhere without materializing, I looked through the entire building.”
“ah.”
“I was surprised too. There was no way such a prison was hidden in the basement of the Dungeon Management Office.”
Since the Dungeon Management Office is a public institution, many people come and go.
There are hunters among them, but it is also a place that ordinary people visit on a daily basis.
Even young children went on field trips.
It was not a place where an underground prison could be located.
“Hmm . “I understand that hunter criminals are imprisoned in awakened prison camps. Does the Dungeon Management Office do similar work?”
I asked quietly, knowing that it was impossible, but Seo Ji-han shook his head resolutely.
“No. Do you think people will allow us to house vicious Awakened criminals in the middle of the city? Of course, it is common for Awakened camps to be built on uninhabited islands. “The location is a secret.”
“Then it’s true that you think that the prison in the basement of the Dungeon Management Office has a bit of a bad smell, right?”
“It’s suspicious.”
At that point, Eundam Yoo intervened in our conversation,
“Please help me. I’m going to get bitten if I keep doing this.”
I suddenly wondered what I was talking about, but I was convinced when I saw the scene in front of me.
Ban Seo-jin was rolling around on the floor, tightly wrapped in a white cloth, unable to see outside or stand up on his own. It would not look
good to leave him in that state, so Ban Seo-jin said, He was trying to help her up.
But every time, Ban Seo-jin’s fierce rejection came back.
Yoo Eun-dam did not hide his amusement at seeing Ban Seo-hu struggling. I wonder
if their relationship is good or bad.
Growling in Cheonpo-daegi. “It even sounds like it’s an animal.
It’s probably not a real animal, but it’s making that sound because its mouth is blocked. The
priority is to confirm who it is.
If it reacts like this even after hearing our words, it’s highly likely that its ears are also blocked.
” I’m in trouble. Where’s the key?”
“I couldn’t find it.”
Seo Ji-han gave a half-hearted reply to Seohu Ban’s words.
Blood appeared on Seohu Ban’s forehead.
On the other hand, Yu Eun-dam, who knew that like Seo Ji-han I could break the chain, had a relaxed attitude. The
only person who was nervous here was Seohu Ban. .
I got closer and used the Chungwangpo, the same trick I used to break Yu Eun-dam’s chain before.
Anyway, it was already revealed that this skill was S-rank, so
what’s the point? As expected, Ban Seo-hu was about to say something about being S-rank or something, but he quietly closed his mouth. .
As soon as the chain broke, life poured out from inside the bag.
The life force, like a well-honed blade, reached its peak when I was able to remove the cloth and breathe the outside air.
Then, when I removed the blindfold, ferocious eyes were revealed.
Those gazes were behind my shoulder. I became very sharp when I saw Seo Ji-han standing there, but later I noticed me and relaxed. At
this point, life was gone everywhere.
All that was on Ban Seo-jin’s face was pure doubt.
That gaze came out and Seo Ji-han Yu Eun-dam. As I watched him and Ban Seo-hu check on each other one after another, I smiled as brightly as I could.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
* * *
And after a while, we all sat down in front of the well-boiled kimchi stew.
Ban Seo-jin was confused, awkwardly fiddling with his wrists that had been freed from their restraints.
Red marks were still clearly visible on his wrists, as if he had been bound the whole time.
“Please eat this.”
When I took out a grade A healing potion and handed it to him, Ban Seo-jin was embarrassed and accepted it with both hands.
His eyes were filled with surprise when he checked the grade of the potion.
Without even thinking about drinking what he received, Ban Seo-jin asked a question.
“Do you guys know each other? Was it?”
Just by looking at his facial expression, you can see how many imaginations are going through Ban Seo-jin’s mind.
In addition to surprise and absurdity, his eyes were filled with clear caution and suspicion.
The question in the question means, ‘Did you fool me by pretending not to know anything when you knew those three?’ In addition ,
‘For what purpose did you deceive me?’ There was a glimpse of the same thing.
I answered quickly before her mind started racing in a completely negative direction.
“We just met recently.”
Perhaps because there was no detailed explanation, Ban Seo-jin nodded with a somewhat shocked expression. After
seeing Ban Seo-jin for the first time in a long time, her face was very gaunt.
Her cheeks were slanted and the area under her eyes was dark. Just by looking at her, you could tell how much she suffered while she was imprisoned. Considering that
, such a sharp reaction was natural.
Ban Seo-hu was fidgeting from earlier, probably because he felt sorry for his appearance, but Ban Seo-jin was not explicitly looking in that direction.
The brother and sister don’t seem to have a very deep friendship. .
While Seo-hoo Ban tried to save her somehow, Seo-jin Ban seems to hate Seo-hu Ban very much.
Well, seeing as they don’t do hunter activities together, it’s somewhat predictable.
I have no intention of getting involved in other people’s family relationships. .
Because that’s not what’s urgent right now.
“Let’s eat before it gets cold. I’ll talk to you while you eat.”
Ban Seo-jin looked as if he wanted to ask more, but when I saw the steaming rice in front of him, his expression changed. I laughed a little inwardly at the sight of him openly
swallowing his mouth. I wonder
if Ban Seo-jin couldn’t eat proper food either. It’s been a while.
“Enjoy your meal.”
As we exchanged greetings, I looked at Seo Ji-han discreetly.
How much time was left for the materialization to take place? Since
this was a meal that I prepared with so much effort, I hope he could enjoy it as leisurely as possible.
In fact, even though I had a lot to say, the reason I hung up and hurried to eat was all so I could feed Seo Ji-han. It was.
As if he was really happy to eat rice after a long time, an unusually happy emotion was flowing out of his face. I
took a small amount of stew, put it on the rice, and took a bite.
Almost at the same time, others started eating calmly.
“It’s great.”
“Ugh.”
A strange reaction came from both Yoo Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu.
They both suddenly coughed briefly, and their faces soon turned bright red.
On the other hand, Ban Seo-jin was a little surprised, but remained calm.
Rather, he cast a pitiful look at the two coughing men.
Why are you like that?
I quickly tried a bite, but there was no problem with the kimchi stew.
“Noona. “Have you tasted this?”
Eundam Yoo, with tears in his eyes, asked a question carefully.
“Of course I saw it, but why?”
“Isn’t it too spicy?”
Is it spicy? I do not know.
I like spicy food and my family all liked it too.
And kimchi stew is naturally delicious when it’s a bit spicy.
“I didn’t know you couldn’t eat spicy food like this.”
“No, I eat it to some extent too, but this….”
“It’s just delicious?”
Seo Ji-han, whose face was a little hot, cut off Yoo Eun-dam’s words and intervened.
He had already emptied half of the stew I had prepared for him.
“Hyung? Are you okay? It’s spicy too…”
“It’s delicious?”
“Sweating so much…”
“It’s moderately spicy and delicious.”
“Brother, tears….”
“It’s really delicious. “Moa is good at cooking.”
Every time Yu Eun-dam tried to say something, Seo Ji-han clearly praised my cooking.
In fact, I thought about boiling it again if it was too hot, but this was also canceled due to Seo Ji-han’s pressure.
“Are you complaining about the meal you worked so hard to prepare? Yoo Eundam, you pathetic bastard.”
In the end, Yu Eundam had no choice but to continue eating in silence without saying anything.
Even though I was eating the stew with just a little bit of soy sauce on the rice.
“That won’t work.”
“I know. “I’m already gone.”
In the corner, Ban Seohu and Ban Seojin siblings were whispering something.
The two seemed to have a bad relationship, but they seem to be getting along quite well now.
After all, eating together makes relationships better.
