I love you.

Let's eat together.

When such contact suddenly came from Baek Hyun, Seoin was very excited and expecting it. I have never met Baek Hyun since the nest of the Queen of the Deaf, and have rarely heard from her. I barely got a message, but I didn't have a lot of conversation.

A date? A date? ’

[The serpent of regeneration is excited.]

The message was heard when the monarch was watching Hunter, and the serpent of regeneration was the monarch who did not have many contractors.

Recently, the Serpent of Regeneration has been sending many messages to Essence. Sooner or later, he may be chosen as a preliminary apostle and suffer the apostolic trials. Suu Kyi stood in front of the bathroom mirror and checked her appearance.

‘Not bad. ’

It was a modest assessment. Prepared a few hours before the promised time. I went to the recommended shop and asked for hair as well as makeup, and I dressed in a confident style.

I was also confident in the restaurant selection. A secret high-end sushi from Cheongdam-dong, not just a place where you can come with a lot of money. Among other things, I booked a room. The price of one meal was enormous, but Essence was not bothered. Baek Hyun and Sung-soo are famous, so their eyes cling to each other wherever they go. Besides, he's not gay, he's rational.

It's a union that the public doesn't know about. It's perfect for gossip.

‘Scandal... it doesn't matter...’

Essence coughs low, recalling the white Hyun's abs seen in the deafening nest.

[Snake of Regeneration laughs]]

“... you're a bookmaker...”

It was good to receive the monarch's attention, but it was very embarrassing and embarrassing to react one by one to this idea.

Essence last looked in the mirror and checked the makeup. Is your lips a little pale? I didn't do well with the original makeup, but I didn't know it well. I was going to apply a little more color, but I was afraid it would get weirder after I touched it. I finally quit.

“You're going to the room. ”

When I left the bathroom, the woman who was waiting in front of me bowed her head slightly and told me. Essence was astonished and checked his phone. It's still 10 minutes before the appointment time.

"Why are you here so soon? ’

Even such an integer came 30 minutes earlier than the appointment time.

“Hey...”

“Yes?”

“Isn't my face weird? ”

The woman blinks and looks at the face of Essence.

“No... it's not weird. ”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Pretty?”

“Yes? Oh, yes. You're beautiful.”

At that end, Essence sighed with relief and headed to the room. In front of the closed room, Essence was last chopped to pieces. This is not a date. Just one meal. There is nothing to do on a weekday evening, and lonely men and women who have no friends to eat with meet each other by necessity, and only two of them eat.

[The serpent of regeneration urges.]

I opened the door to the room.

Baek Hyun sat in the middle of a spacious room and looked around. This was the first time in my entire life that I had eaten in Cheongdong's restaurant. Baek Hyun from the orphanage had a strong impression that Gangnam-gu, especially Cheongdam-dong's restaurant, was expensive and small in quantity.

Of course, Baek Hyun in Chungdam-dong was not troubled by the pockets. If I wanted to, I could buy a small building as a direct. If there was a minor problem, Baek Hyun had no money, no greed. I don't care much about food and gastronomy, so I rarely come out of the house, eat delivery food, or boil ramen.

“Uh, are you here? ”

Baek Hyun opened the door and raised his hand and greeted him with a look at the incoming essence. In fact, I heard all the conversations that Essence had with him standing in front of the door and in front of the bathroom, but I didn't find it very awkward.

“Par, you're here fast. ”

“If you're a little late for the subject I asked you to see. ”

Sue hurriedly took off her shoes and walked into the room. He looked at Baek Hyun, pretending not to be an integer. Baek Hyun's outfit was fine to say, and badly to say, roughly. White short-sleeved tee with no distinctive rips. Thankfully, the neck of the white tea didn't increase. It definitely contrasted with the essence of a few hours of preparing the ball.

‘It suits you well...’

But Essence was satisfied. It was okay to dress, but a tall, well-sized person looks good in anything. Sung-sua sat down in front of Baek Hyun. She chose the room to ignore the surrounding gaze, but she also made a big contribution that only two of them could sit face to face.

“By the way, aren't there any menus here? ”

“Ah... I ordered food in advance to Omakasse. Brother, would you like a drink? ”

“I'll eat if I drink, Omar... what? ”

“Omaka, the chef will handle the sushi and give it to you. ”

“You should have eaten it. The sushi I knew was the best 13,000 won special course in the neighborhood sushi house. ”

Baek Hyun replied and drank warm tea.

“Beef sushi out here? ”

“... that... that doesn't come out. ”

“Wasn't this an expensive place? ”

“Yeah, but... tuna comes out instead of beef. ”

Tunas were familiar with canned tuna and had occasionally eaten cheap canned tuna in grocery stores. Essence called the staff and ordered two beers.

“I didn't expect to hear from you suddenly. ”

“The colony hasn't been in touch for days. You must be busy at Abyss. ”

Baek Hyun came out of Abyss and three days passed. In the meantime, Baek Hyun recalled the fight against the slaves several times in his house.

When we got ahead of the race. Baek Hyun felt confident that if he defeated Zhejiang, he would see a little way to the next level. Indeed, the walls of the 5th Star, which were not felt, could now be clearly felt. The question is how to break it and move forward.

“Is the colony your place? ”

“Well, that's not it. It's the first time I've seen you since then. It's been a while. How are you? ”

“I'm fine. ”

Essence replied with a smile. I said it like a joke, but it contained a bit of sincerity, and I felt better about Baek Hyun's answer. Baek Hyun felt that the power he felt from Essence had become incomparably strong. It will be thanks to the adsorption of the Queen of the Deaf, and the serpent of regeneration has empowered her even more.

“I'd like to ask you a few questions. ”

“To me?”

“To you, to the monarch you serve. ”

Beer came out while I was saying that.

[The serpent of regeneration is interested in the words of Baek Hyun.]

Essence opened her eyes and looked at Baek Hyun. She stares at Baek Hyun without grabbing the beer cup in front of her.

“Isn't it salty? ”

Baek Hyun grabbed a glass of beer and asked. Essence wakes up and nods. A cold beer glass hit me. Baek Hyun emptied his glass in a single breath, and Sung-hyun looked at Baek Hyun as he slowly and sparkly drank a beer. The food came out while she was pondering what to say. An eclipse march with visuals was begun.

“How are you these days? ”

Baek Hyun opened his mouth before Choi Hyuk pulled out his horse.

“How are you? Thanks to you, my ability was greatly strengthened by the heresy. ”

“Are you exploring the uncertified area, too? ”

“I do that too, and I'm the focus of the bounty. ”

“Ghost Hunt? ”

“A little hunting, but...”

Essence smiled. Not all humans in Abyss are registered hunters in the bureau. There is a steady increase in illegal hunters and ‘ghosts’ who sneak into Abyss through smuggling and contract with monarchs in countries with weak management and poor security. The number of old ghosts who entered Abyss five years ago and have not yet registered with the Bureau has also increased considerably.

In the Bureau's view, they were potential criminals who threatened the general public. In fact, rather than potential criminals, they were actually criminals. Hunter's power was not only able to fight monsters, but also to attack people. The Middle East, where civil war and terrorism were still unfailing, was run openly by a mercenary army of ghosts.

“It's a big social problem, isn't it? Ghosts are more dangerous than monsters. Monsters only come from Abyss at the end of each month, but Ghosts can come and go as they please. ”

Ghost was a 'loot’ because it was dangerous. They raid Hunters within Abyss to steal items and coins. If you're lucky, you'll save your life, but Ghost's sense of hunting loses most of it. The problem was that even killing the same hunter, some ‘monarchs’ paid for it.

“The east is not environmentally hazardous, so there are a lot of hunters. That's a lot of ghosts. ”

Baek Hyun-do was quite interested in Ghost. Hunters who have gained experience against monsters and those who have gained experience against people. To put it bluntly, Ghosts were the ones who had a crush on killing people.

‘The reserve apostles and apostles identified by the Administration are all officially registered hunters. ’

Perhaps there are preliminary apostles or apostles among the unregistered ghosts.

“How's your brother? I heard that you participated in the Thunder Bird Defeat in Belpar... Oh, I was wondering. What the hell happened there? ”

Susie started coming out. The chef came into the room with the sushi on each plate, explaining the name of the fish used and how to eat it. Baek Hyun listened to it and put Sushi in his mouth.

"Ah."

In Baek Hyun's head, 'sushi’ and ‘sushi’ were imprinted with completely different foods.

“What I've eaten so far has been fish punch. ”

“Yes?”

“One more beer, please. ”

Baek Hyun nodded and ordered a beer. Later, Essence, who understood the meaning of the word, laughed.

“I fought with the armed factions. ”

“... Yes? ”

“These guys are messengers, they're very strong. I went all the way down south to meet them. ”

“Sleep... just sleep. ”

Essence's eyes shook.

[The serpent of regeneration listens to Baek Hyun.]

[The serpent of regeneration is of great interest.]

“Catching thunderbirds, the hunters there... To be precise, I wanted to show them to the monarchs who were using them as eyes and ears. How strong I am. ”

Sushi comes out. Soy sauce doesn't have to be taken. The chef said, and Baek Hyun followed the words. Again, the flesh melted in my mouth. Baek Hyun smiled.

“One of the Iron Blood Palace's dead bodies came down, and I killed him. After that, Ly Lung, the Apostle of the Dragon Army, has been in touch. Oh, it wasn't direct contact. Whether you want to meet me in person or not, the reserve agent of Highroad who follows me... has warned me through Jin Wei. Watch out for Carpago. ”

Essence's head is tangled with confusion. She thought of it as a date and came out with excitement, but what Baek Hyun was saying was beyond her common sense and understanding.

“Why I wanted to see you. ”

Baek Hyun soaked his mouth with beer.

“At least there are two hunters I have close friends with. Colonial and Sua, you. ”

“... yes...”

[The serpent of regeneration awaits the words of Baek Hyun.]

That was the same for Essence. She stares at Baek Hyun's lips without even eating the sushi.

“I can't get in touch with the colony right now, so I'm asking you, Sua. And the serpent of regeneration seems to have more fondness for me than vigilance. ”

[The serpent of regeneration bursts into laughter at the words of Baek Hyun.]

“... what do you... want to hear from me? ”

“I'm not doing this because I want to hear something. ”

Baek Hyun emptied his beer cup while saying so.

“I don't want to hear, I want to see. Let's see, since I'm hostile to the spirit, I've been in contact with... Pure St. and High Road, the Yong-seong Army. The blood man hasn't been in touch yet, but he's been warned, so he'll hit him one day. But the other monarchs haven't moved yet. Maybe it moved without me knowing. ”

Tempest has a murder on a ghost. However, Tempest will not attack the spirit himself. I don't know why, but Tempest cares terribly about Seo Minh.

Then what about the serpent of regeneration?

Was the serpent of regeneration unaware of this situation? Subdue the Southern Thunderbird. None of the hunters there signed a contract with the Serpent of Regeneration? It's not weird. The Serpent of Regeneration is a notorious monarch who refuses to make promises.

What if I knew? Why isn't the serpent of regeneration responding? Unlike the monarchs who came into contact with Baek Hyun, the monarch doesn't show much interest in hunting down spirits.

[The serpent of regeneration wants to choose you as a prefect.]

“... eh? ”

[The serpent of regeneration awaits your answer.]

The two eyes of Essence trembled loudly at the sudden sound. Baek Hyun lifts his eyes and looks at the face of Essence.

“What's wrong? ”

“Ash, the serpent of regeneration chose me as a reserve...! ”

At that time, Baek Hyun's eyes cooled.

“It would be your choice after all, except to accept it. Well, wouldn't it be nice not to do that? ”

“Yes...? ”

“I don't think it's a good idea to be an apostle. ”

You're not gonna eat that? Baek Hyun asked, pointing to Sushi in front of Sung-sua. Essence whispered and put Sushi in his mouth. It wasn't something I didn't want to eat.

“What does that mean? ”

Baek Hyun did not speak with his mouth, but sent a note about Park Joon-hwan and what happened and his death. At that time, Essence swallowed the chewed sushi and coughed and stopped his mouth with his hands.

[Snake of Regeneration laughs]]

[The serpent of regeneration laughs at the spirit.]

[The serpent of regeneration says he does not treat the apostle that way.]

The next sushi came out. Essence became a dying statue and stared at Sushi, and Baek Hyun ordered another beer.

Can I trust you? ’

[The serpent of regeneration awaits your answer.]

‘I don't want to die like that...’

[The serpent of regeneration bursts into laughter.]

[The serpent of regeneration recites the vow in a joyful voice.]

“... I will not kill you. ”

Essence's lips opened on their own, making a voice. She raises her hand in astonishment and stops her mouth. Baek Hyun felt the ‘power’ in the voice of Essence, and his eyes lit up.

[The serpent of regeneration awaits your answer.]

Essence looks up at the ceiling with her dark eyes.

“... I'll do it. ”

The consciousness of Essence is turned off.
