“Why did you follow me in here?”2b88e4d6cb4556aa

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.c767bb4d07326495

Still, I had 9f8fbf720a faced the Basilisk 7e4079427d alone when everyone 7ef9abb1de else shook their 72a3d4b97d heads saying it dba9cc325a was impossible, so bc12a769c1 this much was e6d5b46045 a good effort. They had said even if bd96218f5f all the other S-rank Hunters a2afe907ec were brought in, it was 4fda282cec uncertain if they could subjugate 8a5ed59502 it.a0ee08dbc9ca628e

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.883a4e8cf74d1f8a

I was the dff283b11a type to make 2cbd938bce many enemies due 634bd5974e to my poor 10195bcd42 social skills. So it was strange 9a8e36f0fb that Seojin followed me f485568932 so well. The Hunter species was 34d991889c prone to jealousy, and f8526260e7 due to my personality, 3e33dd9874 my relationships with others, fdc455b23c including Hunters, were terrible ed089683bd because of many conflicts. Even setting that 8823195326 aside, I tended e5bf6951be to be disliked 098a1adf93 to an unusual 75c3839243 degree.0465b90502169667

There might have 59768f7f88 been some ways 50387ed1f5 to somewhat resolve 3872ec1f91 this by using c72e783809 my head to 67226b48cc avoid danger or 8898e8461b occasionally doing things feb8873c61 I disliked to 5f67e789b6 appease people. But I was too strong e9ae16d582 to do that.561d8fa72145b75b

‘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.’e95f53ea1540b786

I looked at 1725fc7ef4 Seojin, who was fa6f5e692b still crying. In that sense, he 68eb29e225 was quite comforting to 37dd01047e me. He was the only person ec467a8222 in this world who liked 207a1ef86b me.bc9e51298af3c281

‘He tried to stop me with tears in his eyes saying I shouldn’t go this time, but to think he’d secretly follow me all the way to the dungeon.’a06b98a31f2a65c3

Sometimes his almost 8ae3e3894f blind insistence on 323e495fd4 staying by my d1148a2eb4 side could be 0be76c3d61 annoying, but mostly 02703da224 it was cute. I dragged my 564bbfa1d4 injured leg and 8a7b59572a sat down next b11aa3a5e7 to Seojin, who a27fc5c96b was trembling.c571afa1469a2aeb

Seojin seemed more shocked than f5c45d4495 usual after seeing my leg be643a01e2 get blown off. No matter how much 2f6b3011ee I had saved him, a0f73b2fcb I wondered why he 30b7152e6b was bawling his eyes de3dabfab5 out over an injury cddcc2771f of this level.b1d93628f2ed1dbd

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.

“I don’t need resurrection, I’d like to live a life where I’m loved in my next life.”7a9bdc3eea6e13dd

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.3482b48e1a8d21eb
