I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 91

Episode 092

“Then? Did you have to move to close all Korean dungeons after hearing what Seojihan said? Like mayflies? What are you going to do when the next dungeon breaks out? “At least at that point I made the right choice.”

“Right choice?”

“Would it have worked out well if a few ragtag hunters with no background got together and formed a guild? What do you think would happen if just a group of people who were just starting out got together? “Would it have been possible to survive among a large, well-organized guild?”

At the end of Banseohu, which started softly like a burning firewood, it almost sounded like it was going to explode.

But Yoo Eun-dam did not lose either.

“Ah, you kicked out your friend because you wanted to go with the flow and not go against the wishes of those in power?”

“I didn’t kick Jihan out.”

“That’s right. Ji-han went out on his own. But after that, when Ji-han did dirty things in his name, he was the one who didn’t deny it.”

Secretary Ban’s anger, which seemed to be burning, completely subsided.

He looked like he had nothing to say.

“I heard you said you would leave only one dungeon to protect the civilians? But how many dungeons are there now? Six. Ah, since the Vargis Dungeon is closed, there are five. And what are those high-ranking people doing now? They are killing production-type hunters to monopolize dungeons and dominate the market. Even combat-type hunters with strong attack power.”

Yoo Eun-dam, who said that in a mocking tone, glared at Seo-hu Ban and spit out the words,

“Actually, the reason I accepted the position as head of the Amhyeon guild was because of Ji-han’s request.”

“ask?”

“Yes. Someday, they might target you too, but Seo-hu, who is a defense hunter, will be difficult to deal with, so please help him. Instead, keep him in check from outside the guild, not from inside.”

“….”

“But Jihan probably didn’t know at the time. “I didn’t know that Seo-hoo would insult those guys by even tarnishing his friend’s name.”

“Yoo Eundam.”

“Don’t act so proud and say you were fooled by me. Who was really fooled?”

After that, Seohu Ban retreated with a slightly lethargic look on his face.

The argument was a huge victory for Yoo Eun-dam.

At first, he seemed to have attacked me, but Seohu Ban didn’t seem to have the energy to doubt me anymore.

And Seo Ji-han said this with a bitter look on his face . I was watching the fight until the end.

If I had been able to talk to him, I would have comforted him. As I

was looking at Seo Ji-han with a sad feeling, Yoo Eun-dam spoke to me.

“By the way, Hunter.”

“yes yes?”

As I was watching the two people’s battle as if I was watching a half-acted drama, I was startled by the sudden return of the arrow.

Eundam Yoo smiled his usual kind smile and asked carefully in a kind tone.

“I’m really curious too. “Is that ring really Jihan’s?”

If it were any other time, I would have shaken my head and taken it away without hesitation, but the opponents are Yoo Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu.

In particular, Seohu Ban was casting a warning look at me as if telling me not to lie.

“that’s right.”

In the end I told the truth.

Seo Ji-han also nodded as if he did well.

– Just be honest.

honestly?

how?

He died?

Seo Ji-han hesitated a little, looked at Ban Seo-hu, whose face was still dark, for a moment, and then added as if he had made up his mind.

– It’s my keepsake.

If that’s what you want, I can’t object.

However, Seo Ji-han spoke so plainly that I thought it would be a superficial interest, but the three people seemed to have a stronger friendship than I thought.

I’m a little worried about what kind of repercussions these words will have, but there’s no point in hiding it any further in this situation.

I tried to relax and cautiously revealed the truth.

“This is Hunter Seo Seo-han’s memento.”

“what?”

“yes?”

Both Seo-hoo Ban and Eun-dam Yoo were so shocked that they seemed at a loss for words for a moment.

I guess the content far exceeded their expectations.

I felt like I needed to explain further, so I added again while watching Seo Ji-han’s eyes.

“Last time, there was a new store that opened in Gangnam . “Seojihan Hunter saved me in the Chungwangryu dungeon.”

“Then…”

Yoo Eun-dam bit his lip, guessing something.

“that’s right. At that time, the hunter who was fighting the boss monster alone was fatally injured. And he died not long after.”

A shocked silence fell.

I felt a little relieved.

The feeling that I had committed something was stronger, but there was also a sense of liberation that I had finally revealed what I had been hiding all along.

But after a while, I became very embarrassed.

This is because Ban Seo-hoo, who was looking at me with a frozen, mesmerized face, suddenly shed tears.

It felt like a stone statue was crying.

Ban Seo-hu’s face had none of the elements required for a universal crying face.

There were no changes at all, such as a distorted face, blurred mouth, or wrinkles between the eyebrows.

Just like when I heard that this ring really belonged to Seo Ji-han, tears streamed down my face as if I was as shocked as I was.

Only the slightly reddened eyes barely convey the feeling that Ban Seo-hu is really crying.

Even if you put water in your nose and let it come out of your eyes, it would be more emotional than that.

But oddly enough, I got the feeling that Ban Seo-hu was very sad because his emotions were suppressed to the limit.

– Why is this bastard crying…

Seo Ji-han looked very surprised.

I expected that he would be sad, but I don’t think I expected him to cry.

But that was the same for me and Yoo Eundam.

And Seohu Ban himself must have been so surprised by his own tears that he awkwardly wiped away the drops of water that fell.

While Yoo Eun-dam and I desperately pretended not to see Ban Seo-hoo’s tears, he stood still for a few minutes and then completely stopped crying.

The only one who did not ignore the crying was Seo Ji-han, who was watching Ban Seo-hu cry the whole time.

Even Ban Seo-hu himself, who pretended not to know what had just happened, was ignoring his own tears.

“Hmm, without a doubt, is he really dead?”

“yes. “I guarded his last days.”

Actually, I still don’t have good feelings about Ban Seo-hu.

But after seeing her cry, it was difficult to be sharp.

And after hearing my firm answer, Seohu Ban muttered with a look on his face as if he had been hit again.

“I… well…”

I couldn’t hear exactly what he was saying, but it was clear that

he was blaming himself. Perhaps Seo Ji-han, who has sharp ears, heard what he said.

The sad look on Seo Ji-han’s face made me realize that my This added confidence to my guess.

As I was looking at Seohu Ban, I felt the death of Seo Ji-han, which had become dull, become clear again. Immediately

after his death, I was so distracted by various events that I quickly forgot about him, and from then on, he stayed with me in the form of a spirit. It was so different from a normal death that there was no time to feel like he was dead.

But when I saw my friend grieving over his death like this, the sadness I had forgotten came flooding back.

–

I have to gather. Seo Ji-han, who had been thinking deeply about something the whole time, called me in a calm voice.

– I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask.

The sudden request left me confused for a moment as to what he was saying.

But I quickly realized what he wanted. He

wanted to show off to his friends.

I had a rough idea of what he was going to say. I nodded.

– Let Seohu Ban touch my soul stone.

Before he even spoke, I was already holding his soul stone tightly in my pocket.

Now that I remember his death again, I can’t refuse no matter what he asks. So,

in the past, someone else touched the soul stone for a very brief moment.

While buying something at a supermarket, the clerk’s hand touched the soul stone.

It was a brief accident that occurred when he forgot that he was holding the soul stone in one hand and was trying to get a receipt.

A ghost . The clerk stiffened for a moment while muttering to himself, ‘Are you tired these days? I see something in vain.’ But

this incident made me realize that people other than me can see Seo Ji-han.

Even though, unlike me, the owner, my body is in the soul stone. Although he could only see it while in contact.

In other words, if you let Ban Seo-hu touch Seo Ji-han’s soul stone, he would also be able to see Seo Ji-han.

This is Seo Ji-han’s soul stone, and if Seo Ji-han himself wants it, I have no justification for refusing it.

But at the same time, this is Seo Ji-han’s soul stone. This could have given me a clue about my gathering skills.

For me, who still does not completely trust Yu Eun-dam and Ban Seo-hu, this is a very risky action.

Seo Ji-han also knew that, so he looked very sorry.

But after seeing Ban Seo-hoo crying and Yoo Eun-dam being so shocked that he couldn’t even speak, I felt like I had to take that risk.

And for Seo Ji-han, who has helped me so far.

“I have something to tell you two.”

Perhaps because he was nervous, his voice came out very harsh.

I added right away without wasting any more time.

“I can help you meet Hunter Seo Seo-han.”

“yes? how?”

“He’s with me now.”

Yoo Eun-dam, who blinked, thought for a moment and came up with a plausible hypothesis as if he had deduced something in his own way.

“What does it mean to live in our hearts?”

“no. It’s here now. It means his spirit is here.”

“That Son Moa Hunter. Do you believe in ghosts or something like that?”

Yoo Eun-dam asked carefully, trying not to sound mocking or ridiculing as much as possible.

Ban Seo-hu was openly looking at me as if I was seeing a strange person.

I decided to make a move before the misunderstanding deepened.

In these cases, actions are better than words.

Seo Ji-han He took out the soul stone and held out his hand to Ban Seo-hu.

To see the soul, you have to touch the soul stone.

“Give me your hand.”

Ban Seo-hu, who had a very reluctant expression on his face, held out a bear-like hand with a reluctant look on his face. It

seemed like he was worried that I might do something to that hand.

I took his hand and let the soul stone touch the tip of my index finger.

“Hey. “You took my hand carelessly…”

Ban Seo-hoo’s voice, which had been muttering dissatisfiedly, stopped.
