“Why did you follow me in here?”d16715428160fe61

I said to Seojin, whose face had turned pale. I didn’t think I looked particularly cool, holding my thigh that was half torn off by the Basilisk’s claws with one hand and my stomach gushing blood with the other.37dc1bb07f3e344a

Still, I had faced 1d783ca00f the Basilisk alone when 48c7219662 everyone else shook their d8f78e9edf heads saying it was 496770eadb impossible, so this much 5d7632f457 was a good effort. They had said even if de4c791355 all the other S-rank Hunters 74f327eab6 were brought in, it was 3dbe708023 uncertain if they could subjugate 61c34878a6 it.99ee88994847e28e

My body was dying right 724d151341 now, but with the help 7d1ffb6d53 of an A-rank or higher 235ca1ed5b healer, I could survive. So there was no 5351aaac74 need to be as 1a814b30c1 terrified as Seojin was, d237c33639 trembling all over.ab55cf51b007c1bf

In fact, not just today, but Seojin would always freeze up like this whenever I got hurt. Ever since I saved him from nearly dying in a dungeon, Seojin had followed me around like a chick seeing its mother for the first time after hatching, so it wasn’t surprising that he’d be this shocked.1a2667abe7312c59

I was the type to 843c26a8b2 make many enemies due to b12e60fdf5 my poor social skills. So it was strange that 045b49e628 Seojin followed me so well. The Hunter species 79ac5802ea was prone to 8dfe1b02ca jealousy, and due d5cfa80fc5 to my personality, 08c4827a3d my relationships with 7d55028ee4 others, including Hunters, 04e6470370 were terrible because ee6a2f1833 of many conflicts.

There might have c7be1416b4 been some ways edba174032 to somewhat resolve 2688a3a119 this by using aea5a64b0c my head to 77c8e5bb03 avoid danger or 38adf4ee5c occasionally doing things ecc931a2e9 I disliked to 39375527d2 appease people. But I was too 3fddd6e0cf strong to do that.1ada6656ad0dcafe

‘If I throw one punch, I can make all those squawking kids shut up. Why bother with such tiresome things… Though I guess that argument lacks credibility now that I’ve fallen into a trap and ended up like this.’707bc6f9f1bf70af

I looked at Seojin, 07075e15a5 who was still crying. In that sense, he 62e8cadda3 was quite comforting to 4ff72902df me. He was the only b1b3e0e830 person in this world 6b20ab99ed who liked me.f366e10d016a5f8d

Seojin seemed more shocked 5f67c83341 than usual after seeing f1661c6d8f my leg get blown 027dfdfe57 off. No matter how much I e584292832 had saved him, I wondered ad8924f987 why he was bawling his b08629667d eyes out over an injury 3c82a3f957 of this level.37c811e27ad66605

Even as I thought this jokingly, I was certain that even if I went back in time, I would save Seojin again. Seeing Seojin trembling so pitifully and miserably, it was only natural. No, even if it wasn’t me, anyone who had been there would have saved Seojin.82453e5567b48dd7

It was an unconscious statement. At the same time, I vaguely felt Seojin’s gaze looking down at me. To make such a wish, it seems the shock of being killed by the only person I trusted was greater than I thought. To think I’d rather die than be abandoned even by Seojin. There was a limit to being sentimental. As I watched my past unfold like a fleeting dream, I was evaluating it as a fairly decent death.40ccfe7e63c629f4
