“Why did you follow me in here?”3a2843b428938436

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.1901673e67690409

Still, I had faced the 77c7a26a1d Basilisk alone when everyone else 38d0f784ef shook their heads saying it 7ab9087e5a was impossible, so this much b5aef70748 was a good effort. They had said even if 5eab863909 all the other S-rank Hunters 47bf9eb87f were brought in, it was 1383d08bfb uncertain if they could subjugate 3ee6f07883 it.ff9fcd7149e63136

My body was dying 0f1d3da891 right now, but with 99d3587260 the help of an ff5ed84603 A-rank or higher healer, 9139c9a6b8 I could survive. So there was no 5da7dae3dc need to be as ac4ec6f8a0 terrified as Seojin was, 6578cb145a trembling all over.559d5f0c4c08f569

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.5e61f917d8b525e7

I was the 49e14fc3d5 type to make 9e37d0fbd1 many enemies due d488c7bf6f to my poor 442ed9d4e1 social skills. So it was strange that 9f900590e1 Seojin followed me so well. The Hunter species 25d848512e was prone to 3675591b05 jealousy, and due d0bf6280e3 to my personality, 10f93da5e1 my relationships with 47c49bee90 others, including Hunters, 5f6fb2ca91 were terrible because 066c301d95 of many conflicts. Even setting that 57dfe982ce aside, I tended 0033f22f3b to be disliked ccbcb8f0ee to an unusual 7cdcc5581e degree.2198d8b1d5bc1206

There might have been some b3bdeff510 ways to somewhat resolve this 9ae4ce10e5 by using my head to b76efccd01 avoid danger or occasionally doing 75aa48fff3 things I disliked to appease b49d7f876f people. But I was df100ea2f9 too strong to a5e6c09e03 do that.856eb1e75e513bf9

‘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.’a490f9eeb6be85ef

I looked at Seojin, 4c4a16dfd9 who was still crying. In that sense, b7c1f4cfd7 he was quite 94ee7cc95a comforting to me. He was the only 6b72ba5b5d person in this world 84a9d27cae who liked me.2691e910d42d631b

Sometimes his almost b685cac46c blind insistence on ddeab6b1ce staying by my 80eff1e130 side could be 7fbfee14f4 annoying, but mostly d2ee6fafaa it was cute. I dragged my injured 6067b4e8e1 leg and sat down b37f3a2326 next to Seojin, who bbb244520c was trembling.d7f8cde0f1fb29bc

Seojin seemed more shocked c95c8bbc16 than usual after seeing 9975ea0627 my leg get blown f38c1ce43b off. No matter how much 8612d112cb I had saved him, 08327d4b20 I wondered why he 4a1adc02e4 was bawling his eyes 8723ac7d45 out over an injury 249370d5cf of this level.c630040694039d1c

Just as I 4fe38db733 was about to bdb3cd2f07 wipe away his 190ac628cb tears, Seojin stabbed dd590f6d1c a knife into 6a1f8e94f4 my heart.517dcb900479531a

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.69a06368cd339802

That was something I knew well, but I didn’t expect you to be included in that category of enemies, I wanted to say, but held back. If I did, it seemed like Seojin might collapse from crying too much. It was strange that even as I was dying, I still felt pity for him. I must have grown more attached than I thought.57e7113ee769a04a

“I don’t need resurrection, I’d like to live a life where I’m loved in my next life.”c716351c25af1af5

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.e8dc5ecd8412c092
