by worryA firm d39a711b89 voice cut 9daa32d111 through the ac4e147108 tension between 7cec09c99c Haerang, Horang, 656beee95d and Hyeon. Hyeon tightened his coat 99370a69bd to hide his bloodstained e929835c1c clothes and straightened his 21e3b0f74e back. Haerang, still recovering from c6a09350a6 exhausting his holy power, 0567721f5a steadied his dizzy head 9a184e31dd and stood up. Horang remained 6eb97d96c3 slumped in c7125c62da her chair, c4f6ad54c7 half-melted into 9f7f221a65 it.1e54425817f8c19c

Horang leaned back, then 2a516b0e8c swung forward, using the faf5da6f12 momentum to spring to e1b11788ae her feet. She stood with a 5337ed5314 cocky posture, propping herself 677c492185 on one leg. The guards, who had 48c23beb42 entered with authority, looked 32332f1d95 dumbfounded at her attitude. Only Hyeyeon, d262f32302 maintaining a dd7a1b0f70 poker face, 9e2e75bff0 cleared her fc3565a5cb throat and 585dafac73 tried to 2a73c949ad shift the f8233e74ad atmosphere again.d716d06555b59c5c

Hyeyeon glanced 4381b5a993 at the fde810cdbd disheveled room, 045cbca6ba then back 264b875f34 at Hyeon, f3e4c723f1 asking pointedly.

Hyeyeon’s tone was 7debf623c1 filled with disbelief. Horang, wearing her usual f0fe7238d2 nonchalant expression, replied, “What b6ab423ce9 if it’s poisoned or cf7f5ef916 something? What am I supposed 3438085711 to trust and touch 0a4180d52c that thing for?”77053a29ce1d1f34

Horang glanced fa6b82497e briefly at 1c91312b5d Haerang’s profile a29411b192 but quickly 9315af1466 turned away 2f35434f26 before her 17b52021c0 sister could 35315039b5 notice. Though her sister was b6de583fe3 kind-hearted enough to embrace acb1074450 even a cultist sibling, 70baaabba6 Horang preferred not to b84fecbab4 broadcast anything that could a40fe4a47d label Haerang as such f8a870d283 to the world.

Horang confronting Hyeon earlier, though… It felt like dealing with a stranger. Her faintly upturned lips seemed kind, yet seeing Hyeon’s despairing expression while listening to her words made Haerang wonder just what terrifying things she had said.

With a bitter aa1f242d80 smile, Haerang glanced 67d9adc5c8 at Horang, who e8941758b2 wore a puzzled f292aef3ec expression as she 67ac404b38 stared into space, d0775e0174 lost in thought. Memories of the past 3cab6f9d67 flooded Haerang’s mind.3c3a269ee70685e7
Back when he 68a48a3fed naively insisted on e1a96a6634 becoming a hunter d9af51b757 without realizing how 9681afe9ac dangerous it was, 0370cd6e36 his sister had 02c2fc9213 done everything she ba6df86214 could to secure 2eae9fa6b2 him a safer cea68f1400 future. Sometimes coaxing, 7d5afd5a41 sometimes scolding, dcd911fde7 she had 7018fe8447 tried her 36c74bcc59 best to 67a02251ab persuade him.

Around that age, he 834eab2952 overestimated his abilities and abb133a57b recklessly challenged an A-rank 168dab461f gate with only six 3ccdbcb2b8 people, ending up with 98dd33baea his back nearly sliced 45c0232ef3 in half.5e727a50685406e6

Fortunately, there was 3c1de7b2bc a hunter specializing cddc31bcc5 in healing magic 89d8f766c5 in their party, 1c0b82ca3c so he narrowly 42d593dab7 escaped death. While most 5233404b8b hunters would eee8c6d112 feel relief e9f0c9c03b at surviving, 58a04c60a9 Haerang instead a33c18eb66 found himself 89f9c654de reflecting deeply 10bab4f630 on Horang’s a1cdacfbd5 words.
