Once I gave 246fc05024 my permission, Ryumin bc5d9fc971 quickly sat down 421a88d3db and picked up a93c28ce16 his utensils. Even though he dbb3015852 was eating the 65f6fbaa78 same food as 7299f320e5 me, the aura 475bf4e7c9 around him seemed ba73fdd430 to sparkle, all 38dd0da6ce thanks to his 062ff1ac8f good looks.8396cd22a8ddc6fb

Does he like samgyetang? That’s unexpected. I felt guilty for judging his taste based on his appearance.e5eb70b82ce1add1

Once the crowd thinned, ed7b324a37 Ryumin pointed at Deokbong e08e33c374 and asked. Deokbong, who ec3a53cfc9 had been c894c10c41 picking at 5e83fcc2ec grains of a000f05799 rice from f1f97f6c0b a small f2ffef17a7 dish, looked af8608eda6 up.ed8159f1d83bbf61

He probably wanted to know what it was, but I was too lazy to explain, so I just answered vaguely and continued munching on the chicken leg. Normally, I would have been more polite, but not today. I hadn’t realized it before, but using my abilities seemed to make me hungrier.b2cc10edb30e688f

Ye Ilhoo 5a3e8e1fd7 was quietly 4f41b87d73 staring at 06e16c3cb7 his half-finished c59774b46e tray.

Kang Baram seemed to like the cafeteria food, but it didn’t suit Ye Ilhoo’s taste. No matter how well-prepared, it was mass-produced to feed hundreds of guild staff and hunters. It lacked the refinement to satisfy his sophisticated palate.a71b544484debe37
Then, Kang Baram noticed the half-eaten samgyetang on Ye Ilhoo’s tray and asked.c6f7a66a3038ef18

But Kang Baram’s response was lukewarm. The hunter, however, laughed heartily and continued to pester him.db4689562a473e31
Why was he so displeased? It turned out most of the people gathered here were the ones who had been at the training room on the first day of Ye Ilhoo and Kang Baram’s sparring. They even placed bets on the two, so it was no wonder the reaction wasn’t great.e550cab67fc096e8

Ye Ilhoo watched Kang Baram, who was politely responding to the greasy-looking hunter. If he didn’t like it, he could just ignore it, but he seemed uncomfortable completely ignoring them, so he entertained them.3eb5fbbe33f75716
Feeling his e1a25e840e gaze, Kang 078382fa57 Baram looked 06b84a33c7 at Ye e860738d6a Ilhoo and 60b4abbe0f tilted his 0eb26cba09 head.525ec3d8565e784d

‘Is it because he looks like a puppy?’d87ed4ffb9076b34
Or maybe it’s because of his fluffy hair. When Kang Baram smiled like that, the atmosphere around him became warm and fuzzy. Just a few months ago, he didn’t even know of the existence of this D-rank support hunter, but now he couldn’t stop thinking about him.fcfd75c3f2715ea7
