Hunter of the Perished World

“Someday it will be. ”

Gene nods slowly, hearing Oracle's explanation. The hunter worshippers are preparing for war, and that was years ago. They set fire to the forest, and the process was a process for stockpiling war supplies.

War between Religion and Religion. As hunter worshippers are masters of hunting, their power is nothing compared to the Twilight Cult that worships peace. Every priest in the WOH is a hunter, so they're good at hunting monsters.

Those who know how to hunt monsters also know how to hunt Humans. Rather, they hunt Humans more slowly. As helpless as an unarmed human being in front of a gun.

Just because a quest is added to the number of 100,000 chips, it doesn't make you a conscientious hunter enough to shout ballmen. Even if you live in the Twilight Bridge for about half a year and live as a hunter, 100,000 chips are too much for a quest.

Above all, Gene doesn't want to face the hunter worshippers simply because he wants to entrust their excessive worship and free work to them. They showed almost absolute obedience if they knew that Gene was a demon-hunter.

Soon, I had enough chance to solve the problem without fighting. The journey originally planned to reach Twilight City will be longer than the Malay Peninsula, but it was worth it.

Gene nods happily.

“I'll do that. ”

“Thank you on behalf of the Church. ”

I bowed my head several times because I said I would take care of this. It was never a good thing for a group of representatives to bow their heads, but it was humanly correct.

However, Gene did not intend to walk there leisurely.

“I'd like to borrow three wolves. One large enough to carry three or four men. ”

“I'll secure it. ”

“Then I'll have it ready by tomorrow. ”

“Yes. But taking a wolf into the realm of the Hunting Worshippers... ”

“I intend to walk from entering the Malay Peninsula. You don't have to worry about that. ”

Gene was going to leave tomorrow. We didn't know when the war would start, so we had to get to the Hunting Worshippers' territory as soon as possible.

“One case has been resolved, so I will pay you for the arrogant chips first. ”

“I'd appreciate it if you would. ”

Solve the war and return to Twilight City for the remaining arrogant chips. A huge amount of arrogance for a quest, even though it wasn't that difficult or difficult. Of course, Gene's ability made it easy, but it was a tremendous advantage.

Ramfil and Leona were listening behind the scenes. And how the quest was resolved, all the stories were true. After Gin and Oracle's conversation, Leona summons the turning Oracle.

“Hey.”

“Oh, yes. Do you have something to say? ”

“Can I talk to you? ”

Leona's voice, which was strangely disfigured to others, was as if she was doing a gentle request, not fighting. Leona, who was always the star of the game, said that Ramfil and Jean looked at her with a fierce look.

Either way, your face tilted.

“There's nothing you can't do. Talk to me.”

“No, that's not it. We're on our own. ”

Leona was direct about wanting to talk in a place without gin and ramfil.

“What do you want to talk about? ”

When Gin asked, Leona smiled softly.

“I'm going to tell you a secret. Let's go this way!”

“Yes? Yes... ”

So I said as if to distract him, and Gene was silent. Ramfil looked at Gin's expression. It seemed expressionless, but it clearly contained emotion.

It was definitely a shocking look.

The faint figure is dragged somewhere, clutching her wrist, and the boy's expression is slightly red. And Gene and Ramfil were suddenly surprised to see Leona in action.

The child will never stay as a child. It's perfectly natural.

The child grows.

He was dragged to a corner without a guardian or a priest. When he saw Leona's glittering eyes, he shrunk. I preached in front of numerous synagogues and congregation, and I was always confronted by the same girl.

As the name suggests, Leona now feels like a lion to you.

“I'd like to try that. ”

Leona makes a strange noise, and a premature chirp kicks off the match.

“W-what are you talking about? Oh, no, no, no! ”

I felt a strong feeling that I would be eaten, and I panicked as I jumped. The fluffy red face was trembling like a grove.

The girl with indescribable power would take away the spirit even if she called upon it. But even so, Leona tilted her head.

“I'd like to try a Venpowdered one, no? ”

“! ”

I was so pale with the faint look on his face.

“... What a strange thought you had. ”

“Uh, uh-uh. Uh, uh, no! ”

I thought I knew what I was thinking when I saw the embarrassing look on Leona's cheek. Leona pokes the boy in the side with a small smile, looking at the puzzling figure.

“Little bit already. ”

On the same subject, both little ones treated Leona as a child.

“Well, I've heard it's high time. ”

“No! No! ”

Leona's mother was a whore, so she knew enough about the adult world to be disgusting. That's why high level conversations were not too uncomfortable. In fact, when I just met Jean, I thought I wanted to go into Castle and live as a prostitute.

So the child, who was as premature as a faint pattern, had no choice but to choke. You were trembling with the look on the face of the person who committed the crime. What a misunderstanding! At this time, it's best to turn the conversation around.

“W-why is that vendor...? Do you want to use it? ”

Pretending that Leona had overwhelming sympathy, it felt that the faint pattern was less than that of a claw. So you wouldn't need a Venpowder-enhanced kind of thing.

“Actually, I'm not really using my powers. So I wonder if that's what I hear. ”

Benpowders are a deadly poison for ordinary people. But Leona was quite far from the word "ordinary" in her dazzling eyes.

Essentially, it was a matter of thinking about whether or not Benpowders heard from Leona, who had learned something else. That's why I couldn't let you rest.

“No. ”

But the answer was not a mystery, but the gene that followed. Leona lets out an impression.

“I told you I'd tell you a secret! Why are you following me?”

“That's what I thought the secret was about. Don't even think about it. Come with me. ”

Gene approaches Leona, and she slowly pulls back as if she doesn't want to go.

“Why would I want to do that? Maybe a little bit and it won't work. ”

“It's okay if you can't use your powers. So don't try anything dangerous. ”

Leona shakes her head.

“I want to know what I can do. And I want to help. I'm just looking into it. So we just need a little bit more time. ”

Inhalation of very small amounts will not be fatal. Below lethal dose is worth trying. But Gene shakes his head.

“Don't be hasty, or your strength will bloom. It's not urgent right now. ”

“Hurry. I'm in a hurry. ”

“I'm in no hurry at all. I told you. Leave it to me and Ramfil. ”

Leona is cornered, and Gene grabs her arm like that. It was at that moment that Leona's expression, trying to persuade Jin, was cruelly crumpled.

Bam!

“I'm not your property! ”

Leona grimaces and screams. Jin's expression hardened horribly. The person who got that look was frustrated and couldn't even stand up properly. Leona, however, stared at it from the front of her gaze with a grip. Leona screams as if to chew it out.

“Yes! I'm a liability! I know you and Ramfil think that! And I know you think it's okay! ”

“That's all you need to know. It's okay."

Leona's expression distorted. It wasn't anger, it was grief.

“I'm not okay! ”

“ ……. ”

“I…. I'm not okay... ”

Leona cries, her expression distorted. Jean was stunned in front of the crying, and she was staring at him, not even like this.

“I want to do something, too... ”

It was Leona who was hurt in an unfair relationship that only affected her. If Leona had the strength when the mosquitoes attacked, she would have defeated them. But Leona couldn't, so Ramfil and Jean fought instead.

Not to mention what happened in New Hong Kong.

The more this journey continues, the more miserable Leona becomes. Leona grimaces her teeth, weeping without blushing. His eyes were looking right at him.

“I'm so grateful and glad to protect you, to protect you, to care for me. I know, I know! But I can't just wait around for my strength to reach my will one day! So I'm gonna do what I can. I'm not your property and I'm not your pet to take care of. Sometimes I can take risks! ”

Lamfil and Gin take on the risks I have to endure instead. Thank you.I 'm so glad. But apart from him, Leona hated herself for thinking it was sometimes natural.

The two protections were becoming overprotective, and Leona was about to refuse to let her fall on a rock beak.

It's definitely weird.

Leona confesses her heart desperately.

“I want to be helpful too.... That's why I want to do something... Is that so wrong? ”

“ ……. ”

Now, this relationship has a perfect conduit. Gin and Ramfil do it, and Leona takes it. Someone can handle it, but Leona can't. Jean was also confused.

The feeling of not wanting to get hurt, the heart of valuing something, eventually becomes corrupted in some way.

“You know that. I've lived through a lot of loss. ”

“I know... ”

So I know Gene who didn't want to hold anything. But when you have something again, Gene thinks about the things he lost. Faced with an eternal landscape, I think of things that changed, looking at Leona and thinking of things that I couldn't keep.

That's why Jean didn't allow anything to happen to her. Leona's knee is bothered by even the tiniest whip of life.

I overprotect and try to control what is important to know about the pain of loss. Leona knew that, too. That is why I am crying because I am disgusted and disgusted with myself when I speak harshly to Jinn.

Gene opens his mouth slowly.

“I think this is still difficult. ”

It's hard to hug someone. It is painful and difficult in a way and practical way.

“I apologize for not treating you as a complete person. ”

Gene meets his eyes with his hands on Leona's sheep shoulders.

“I'm sorry.”

“Ugh... Ugh..."

Leona tries to endure the tears in Gin's serious apple, but eventually bursts into tears as if she were vomiting.

“Me, too... I'm sorry too, man. I'm sorry."

Leona wept because she couldn't forgive herself for blowing up her unhappy feelings.

“Ha, but…. Huff, huff! But.... I, too.... Something... ha, ha! Ha, because I want to... ”

“I know, I know. I know.”

Gene hugged Leona. The feeling this little boy had to endure was never light. The rushing power, the unresponsive power, the power to kill or save countless people, and the uncontrolled power.

How big was the desire to move it as I wanted.

Gene didn't know it, and now I realize it. He realizes that he did not treat Leona as a single person. And I apologize.

On the subject of telling Oracle and Self something, Gene couldn't do it on his own. Originally, it was a person who became strict and cold in other people's work, and finding the answer was easy, even if it was Gene.

There's no end to learning, even if you're a long-time demon-hunter.

Still, I learn something from life.

“Oh, thank you! Thanks, mister... ”

“I'm sorry.”

Jean did not tell the drooling Leona not to cry.

It's just...

“You can cry. ”

You stroke Leona's head and pat her on the back.
