“Why did you follow me in here?”782229f9ec7550fa

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.b2c6de039ffdb341

Still, I had faced d0e1ffda60 the Basilisk alone when c006e4343e everyone else shook their a24efd1bde heads saying it was 8f322ae724 impossible, so this much 083dc191f0 was a good effort.

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.490cd375eba37ac2

I was the 9da0ee04ee type to make 989998da59 many enemies due 3025cb2ab7 to my poor 934424abc3 social skills. So it was d7a411c5bb strange that Seojin 207a34c699 followed me so 25aef5fe11 well. The Hunter species c281c86463 was prone to 4a95e4381e jealousy, and due 696788532d to my personality, 0d7d6341f3 my relationships with 45562b4979 others, including Hunters, fb73e94a35 were terrible because a2d4192c5d of many conflicts. Even setting that aside, cdc85a9237 I tended to be 4cd17cc900 disliked to an unusual 2a0bf64c70 degree.76a170afbee5a6bb

There might have ea285392ad been some ways 183de39f57 to somewhat resolve 056da6ad9f this by using eedec86d80 my head to b64bc88494 avoid danger or 952ff31cb9 occasionally doing things 04ab0e6724 I disliked to ec6926fc88 appease people. But I was f5ad07c296 too strong to 3d34fa85be do that.bdb131f3689381f7

‘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.’e40f8c5b203a68c4

I looked at Seojin, 6bafa00b45 who was still crying. In that sense, fad2382735 he was quite 6bcefaca90 comforting to me. He was the only person f04522cf12 in this world who liked a897b61fe1 me.22d5d5bf61ace52b

‘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.’481e3c031f05681c

Sometimes his almost 8a1455111b blind insistence on 30ce3e7700 staying by my a5935d2eb9 side could be eb8322ae68 annoying, but mostly 565bc73fa3 it was cute. I dragged my injured leg 5e926b7154 and sat down next to 368ad70296 Seojin, who was trembling.80b880340d02edda

Seojin seemed more 578872f5ba shocked than usual c72ad906a9 after seeing my 32364e59c7 leg get blown e95ee3c18a off. No matter how 95e7addf38 much I had 90a1b9604a saved him, I 3a548bb08a wondered why he 86aeb618e9 was bawling his 50e5ac0f53 eyes out over a572775ce2 an injury of 09a0036558 this level.b7332651621b3fa4

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 don’t need resurrection, I’d like to live a life where I’m loved in my next life.”b4df06ab51f30d8c

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.9dd7664fc3e66e8d
