I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 25

Episode 025

“Let’s put it in for now.”

Because the horn was as big as a car, the room was so cramped that it was difficult to take a single step.

Seo Ji-han also nodded without much opposition to my words.

Becoming stronger is one way, but now is the time to resolve the situation.

After putting the horn in, the house was more of a mess than I thought.

When I saw the house completely destroyed as if it had been hit by a cannon, my eyes became dizzy.

I might like this.

He didn’t get hurt because he quickly clung to the corner of the wall, but the house was in real trouble.

Only the front door was intact, but one wall was dented as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

The bathroom door frame was also twisted, and the door was bent inwards.

About half of the sink was blown away, and in the meantime, water pipes must have been touched somewhere, and water began to slowly seep into the floor linoleum.

– The piece of horn of the evil spirit king Silagis that I got wasn’t this big… I really didn’t know it would turn out like this.

I thought it would come out shamelessly, but Seo Ji-han looked genuinely embarrassed.

I was fully aware that he wasn’t doing this on purpose, so I wasn’t really angry.

This situation is just absurd.

“What size did you expect?”

– Like this?

Seo Ji-han raised his arm and described something about one arm in size.

I nodded absentmindedly.

Actually, I was in a dark state about what to do with this mess right now and had no idea, so I was just going to do it.

– I think it’s the effect of your skills. It looks like it was completely ripped out of Kergis’ horn.

“I see…”

I answered roughly and then started looking for the phone number of the landlady.

My head was pounding as I thought about how to explain this situation.

What should I say?

It’s like a bomb exploded in the house. What should I say ? – They said

that a crazy hunter who was just passing by got into a fight and destroyed the house.

Seo Ji-han said it was no big deal, but I couldn’t do that.

And that’s such an insincere excuse. I

can’t believe it. “Do you want

to believe that?”

– I’ll believe it. So you’re saying you destroyed it?

I did as Seo Ji-han said and destroyed the house, so strictly speaking, it was Seo Ji-han’s fault.

But there was something that bothered me more than determining who was responsible.

The landlord here was a pretty good person.

I didn’t want to cause trouble like this.

“Then the lady has to pay for the repairs.”

– You just have to pay for the repairs. They say those strange hunters even gave you money to use for the repairs.

“Money?”

– Well, since they are strange people, they may have paid some money.

“Do you believe me?”

– What if you don’t believe me? They say he paid roughly 100 million won.

That much?

Of course, I will pay compensation, but wouldn’t that be too much?

“100 million?”

– That will be enough to repair it.

Seo Ji-han, who was talking indifferently, realized belatedly that I was surprised by the amount and made a shocked expression.

– What do you mean 100 million? If you live as a hunter in the future, just one visit to the dungeon will cost you tens of billions of won. I would have earned it.

Wow, that 100 million won.

It’s a word that feels really uncomfortable

. Even if Seo Ji-han said that, I just felt distant.

To be honest, I felt full just looking at the 4 billion won in the inventory, but tens of billions. I

can live without eating. It’s going to happen, isn’t it?

– Don’t waste it, just spend it. You’ll earn a few hundred million that will feel like little money.

Unlike Seo Ji-han, who smiled confidently, I was just skeptical. Is that

really the case?

In fact, I still feel like I’ve become an awakened person. I don’t.

Maybe it’s because I’m just living like an unemployed person who won the lottery.

Will this life be different if I gain power thanks to Seo Ji-han’s help?

Well, if you become a hunter and join a guild, you’ll have to keep going to dungeons, so even if you don’t like it, you can’t help but feel it. Probably not.

“I’ll contact you right away.”

I picked up the phone and looked for the number, but my heart was heavy. I

didn’t think Seo Ji-han’s alibi would work.

But I couldn’t think of any other clever numbers, so I took pictures of the damaged walls and furniture and sent a text message to the landlord.

– Hello tenant. This is Moa Son.

While I was living there, hunters suddenly came in and fought and destroyed the house. Fortunately, I received the repair costs, but I think I will have to vacate the house. A few minutes after sending the message, I

received a call from the landlord.

His voice was raised as if he was very surprised.

-Hello? I’m the landlord. What’s going on?

That’s right. If

Seo Ji-han hadn’t suddenly told me to take out my horn…

“I don’t know what’s going on either. I don’t know. Uh.”

Seo Ji-han made a displeased expression at the awkward lie. He

put his hands together and did it naturally.

– Miss Ayu must have been too surprised. She can’t even speak properly. You deserve it, but you’re not hurt. Oh my god, what on earth is going on? Then you can’t be there today. Are you sleeping?

Fortunately, the landlord seemed to think I was so shocked that I froze.

If I had talked to him in person, this awkward expression would have certainly aroused suspicion, but I was glad it was over the phone.

“Yes. I’m fine. I’m going to go out and sleep.”

-I can’t go now, but I’ll try tomorrow. Are you saying I’ll take a room too?

“Yes.”

– Well, I can’t live there to repair it. What kind of sudden change is this?… Anyway, I understand. I’ll go tomorrow and report it to the police. You’ll be very surprised, but I’ll rest today. Even if I report it to the police, I won’t get anything, but I know for now

. I answered that I would.

That was the end of the call.

Throughout the call, I could hear people talking here and there, but it seemed like they were having a dinner party.

I think they were busy, so they ended the call and hung up.

At the end of the call, they said, ‘Some strange hunter destroyed my rented room and left. I don’t know. Anyway, I could slightly hear a voice saying, ‘The hunters are the problem.’

“Uh…”

– It wasn’t a big deal, right?

“Yes…”

I felt a little dazed because the call with the landlord ended more easily than I expected. I

was worried that I should just ask who the hunter who destroyed the house was or what would happen if I did, but the landlord seemed surprisingly uninterested.

I think it was because I paid for the repairs.

“After I woke up, I felt like I was living a lie all day.”

When Seo Ji-han muttered gloomily, he sighed briefly and shook his head lightly.

– Don’t take it too seriously. It’s no big deal. Anyway, let’s move around first. Well,

Seo Ji-han must have been through all sorts of hardships, so this is it. It won’t be anything.

I nodded, gathered up my belongings, and went out. I

took a taxi to a hotel where

I had previously eaten a buffet. In front of the hotel door, which was lined with foreign cars, the taxi I took seemed strange for no reason. .

Should I have just gone to any inn near my house?

No.

In fact, ever since Seo Ji-han scolded me for coming home instead of staying at the hotel, I secretly wanted to stay here. I may

not be able to live here all the time, but it would be enough for a short stay. You can tell.

I’m rich now. I

can get used to these things.

The hotel I came to at night seemed dozens of times more luxurious than during the day, perhaps because of the shining chandeliers. I

tried not to be intimidated by the opulent atmosphere, but the ‘from’ above my head. Eyes were drawn from all over to see if there was even a sign of ‘semi-basement.’

“I’m thinking of staying there.”

As I approached the hotel front desk on one side of the lobby, despite my awkward attitude, the staff member smiled very kindly: “Welcome. How many days

are you planning to stay?”

– Just make it a week.

“One week.”

After hearing my answer, the employee who manipulated something on the screen asked the question again:

“What kind of room can we provide?”

– Suite room.

I was surprised and looked back at Seo Ji-han.

The staff didn’t show any signs of my strange behavior of staring into space and was just waiting for an answer with a business smile. Wait, a

suite room is too expensive.

Of course, I’ll win the lottery someday. It’s on the list of things I want to do at least once if I win.

Well, isn’t this situation different from winning the lottery? I’m

reluctant to suddenly spend a large amount of money, so I hesitate, but Seo Ji-han gestures at the employee a couple of times as if asking what I’m doing. That’s all.

It means to do it quickly.

“Give me that suite.”

The staff was surprised for a moment, but skillfully controlled their expressions and guided me to the room. I paid

in cash, followed the staff, walked down the carpeted hallways of the hotel, and arrived in front of a door that looked expensive, even though it looked expensive.

“This is the room.”

When I opened the door, a wonderful space like something I had seen in a drama or magazine appeared. As

I was handed the card key and hesitated to enter, my eyes seemed to brighten up.

The room was decorated with an atmosphere like a temple.

The high ceiling had dazzling chandeliers and ornate lights. There were lights.

The overall white and gold tone made it feel like I had entered some kind of palace.

“These are indoor slippers.”

But Seo Ji-han seemed to be familiar, and before I knew it, he was sitting on the sofa and looking at me with a sad look on his face.

– It’s not a five-star hotel, it’s just a regular hotel in the city. I can use this much.

I couldn’t even respond and just looked at the gorgeous room. I was busy doing it.

In the meantime, the staff member who had finished showing me around the room handed me a greeting.

“Then, take a good rest and if there is any service you need…”

“Oh, yes. “Good-bye…”

As I was saying goodbye, Seo Ji-han hurriedly called me.

– Before I leave, I ask them to clear all the tables in the living room. I need a place to take out my horns. They say this is the reason I chose a suite room, so if I don’t just let them go, they won’t let me go. Okay.

Can I request that kind of service?

I didn’t know…
