Chapter 130

“So, Dohwa is staying at your place?”

[Yes, there’s nowhere else to put her. The World Returner Association did visit briefly, but since I’m part of the association, she can’t really cause trouble.]

“What’s your decision?”

[Still on hold. I don’t have many thoughts since I’ve thrown everything away, but I’m just pondering things.]

Right now, I was on a call with Ayu at Incheon Airport.

Yesterday, after Siho and Ji-eun finished their college entrance exams, I was set to go to Iceland with our team.

The reason for going to Iceland was, of course, related to Ji-eun’s abilities, as Yoo Woo-jung had informed us.

[By the way, Domi Oppa, are you happy to go on an overseas trip without me? You said you liked me, but you won’t see my cute and pretty face for days. Don’t you miss me?]

She’s starting to tease again.

“Not happy at all. I’m worried about not seeing you.”

[Hee-hee, hoo-hoo, hee-hee.]

She’s happy.

[Should I send you a picture?]

“Send it over.”

As soon as I said that, Ayu sent a picture.

She was posing with her lips puckered, which was cute.

[When you come back, you have to do it on my lips directly?]

Seeing Ayu, who’s been pestering me every day since that one time, I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

“Alright.”

[Promise, promise! You have to keep it!]

“Okay, okay.”

As the call ended, I felt a presence behind me and turned around sharply.

There stood Yoo Woo-jung, and I was relieved it was just her.

“Why are you relieved to see me? I can get jealous too.”

“It’s fine. Go ahead.”

“Don’t you think you’re being too harsh on me?”

As she glared at me, she then looked at my phone and asked.

“By the way, Ha-chan, I have something I’m curious about.”

“What is it?”

“Ha-chan, how many legs are you straddling?”

I was silent for a moment at the mention of “legs.”

“Well, I know Ha-chan is capable, and honestly, I’ve fallen for him too. I know a lot of women would be drawn to him.”

She said, looking at me with her arms crossed below her chest, mentioning Siho and Ji-eun as examples.

“But it seems like there are more than I thought. Last time, you said you were the husband of the Association President, but the girl you were just talking to doesn’t seem to be the president. Yet, from the way you talk, are you dating her too?”

As she said this, Yoo Woo-jung smiled mischievously.

“Of course, I don’t care how many legs Ha-chan is straddling. It’s fine to treat me as a side piece.”

“I’m not treating you like that. I have my reasons.”

“That’s what people who cheat often say.”

Damn.

“……Then let me ask you one thing. What do women like?”

I decided to be straightforward.

Yoo Woo-jung then licked her lips and lowered her gaze to my crotch.

I immediately raised my hand and smacked her head with a chop.

Damn, I shouldn’t have asked.

It seems like Satan has possessed her.

“Iceland at this time of year…….”

As I left Yoo Woo-jung, who was making a pained face after my chop, I saw Baeksan muttering to himself, lost in thought.

“Domi.”

As I was about to call Baeksan, I turned at the sound of someone calling me.

There was Eva noona.

She was bundled up in a coat, probably because we were going to Iceland.

But it suited her well, which was a bit funny.

“Eva noona, thanks for coming.”

“Yes, if Domi asks, I have to come anywhere.”

As I said that, I noticed something slightly different about her appearance.

“……Full makeup?”

Yoo Woo-jung, who was beside me, finally noticed Eva noona and muttered.

Ah, she definitely had makeup on.

She used to be without any makeup, but since she’s no longer on a time limit, she seems to care more about her appearance.

Feeling somewhat proud, Eva noona glanced at Yoo Woo-jung.

“Camilla Agatha, right?”

As Eva noona mentioned her real name, Yoo Woo-jung flinched.

Seeing that, Eva noona took out a business card from her bag and handed it over.

“I think you’ve heard from Domi, but I’m the chairman of Beom. I’ve often run into your people.”

“……Yes, we’ve been indebted to each other in many ways.”

Yoo Woo-jung politely received the business card with both hands.

She was known as the queen of the underworld.

Beom was originally a company formed by hunters from the underworld, so they must know each other well.

The desire in Yoo Woo-jung’s eyes as she looked at me grew stronger.

Knowing her recent peculiar tastes, I clicked my tongue.

Looks like she’s going to be even more troublesome.

“Manager.”

“Brother Kang Ha-chan!”

At that moment, Siho and Ji-eun arrived.

They had come together using Siho’s Space Movement ability.

Now, everyone who was supposed to come had gathered.

“Shall we get going?”

As I looked at Siho, she nodded.

With her, we immediately went to find a staff member for departure procedures.

“Iceland, right? There are no flights at this time.”

“Ah, it’s not about the flight. We need permission to use spatial abilities for departure.”

As I said that, I handed over the pre-approved spatial ability usage permit.

Inter-country spatial movement is basically illegal.

So, for legal movement, I had gone through the procedures in advance.

“Spatial movement to Iceland? Without any layovers?”

The staff member’s eyes widened as she looked at us.

As I turned to Siho, she fumbled in her pocket and pulled something out.

It was a minor hunter ID.

And on it was written S-class.

Recently, Siho had officially reissued her hunter rank.

The 6th S-class hunter in our country.

And one of only two minor S-class hunters in the world.

That was Siho.

The staff member’s eyes shook violently.

Of course, she would be flustered by an S-class hunter’s departure.

I handed her my phone, which had the departure approval signature from the Hunter Association.

“Is it okay?”

“Ah, yes, yes! Confirmed!”

She stiffly shouted and quickly processed the departure procedures.

Watching the situation unfold at lightning speed, she also checked our IDs.

“S-class Returner.”

And in Eva noona’s case, she looked like she was about to flip her eyes.

Since Eva noona had regained her physical body from a spirit entity, she was also measured as an S-class Returner.

Of course, Eva noona had also brought the association’s departure consent form, so there was no problem.

But I started to feel a bit sorry for the staff member.

Only when I handed over my F-class hunter ID did her eyes fill with doubt.

It’s only natural to wonder when an F-class is mixed in.

“……You can use spatial movement to these coordinates.”

Anyway, we successfully got our departure approved.

As I turned to Siho, she held out her hand.

“Everyone, hold on.”

As Siho said that, I placed my hand first.

At that moment, three hands suddenly popped out and collided.

Ji-eun, Eva noona, and Yoo Woo-jung had all tried to place their hands on mine at the same time.

Their eyes crossed.

As an unknown current began to flow, I looked at the three of them and then took Siho’s other hand.

Siho, seeing me take her other hand, smiled brightly at me.

Meanwhile, the three reluctantly stacked their hands on Siho’s outstretched hand.

“This is a mess.”

Meanwhile, Baeksan had placed his hand on my shoulder.

At that moment, I saw Eun-hyeon standing in the distance.

Since Eva noona was coming, she didn’t need to follow, so she just bowed her head.

After saying “We’ll be back safely” to her, Siho began the spatial movement.

With the sudden change in vision, I staggered for a moment from the dizziness.

It takes 23 hours to get from Korea to Iceland.

Since we crossed that distance in one spatial movement, it’s only natural to feel the aftereffects.

“Ugh, ugh.”

At that moment, Ji-eun, who was physically the weakest among us, staggered, covering her mouth.

I quickly caught her to prevent her from falling, and Ji-eun trembled with a pale face.

I’ve experienced Siho’s spatial movement several times, but this was Ji-eun’s first time crossing such a distance.

“Ji-eun, are you okay?”

“Ugh, yes, I just need a moment.”

As Ji-eun closed her eyes and regulated her breathing, I looked at the three who were fine.

Siho, the caster, was naturally fine, Eva noona had directly crossed dimensions before, and Yoo Woo-jung was an S-class hunter.

“Tsk, didn’t think of that.”

Meanwhile, Yoo Woo-jung clicked her tongue as if she had missed an opportunity.

If she pretends to be sick next time, I’ll just kick her.

“Ertu frá Kóreu? (Are you from Korea?)”

Meanwhile, a spatial immigration officer came over and asked.

I had a language translator from the Returner Association prepared in advance.

As I proceeded with the procedures, the officer, after checking a few things, gave me a piece of advice.

“Recently, there have been frequent anomalies in Iceland’s climate. It’s suspected to be due to Dimensional Beings, so please be careful.”

Something’s happening.

I replied that I understood and finished the procedures, then stepped outside.

There, Ji-eun, who had just recovered from long-distance spatial movement sickness, was sitting.

She had asked for understanding and was getting some fresh air.

As I looked up, there was a country of pure white snow spread out before me.

Once with a population of about 360,000, half of Jeju Island, now with less than 30,000, Iceland.

Despite the land being similar in size to our country, the lack of hunters to prevent dimensional gate phenomena has made it one of the countries now called the land of Dimensional Beings.

The extreme land and small population meant there weren’t enough hunters to stop the Dimensional Beings.

‘Regardless, the Tower of Apocalypse is still there, right?’

As I looked at the Tower of Apocalypse standing tall beyond the snowy sky, I felt a touch from behind and turned.

Siho, who had followed me out, was hugging me from behind.

“Manager, Siho is cold.”

Come to think of it, Siho’s clothes were a bit thin.

I should have bought her thicker clothes before we left.

“Oh my, why is Siho, an S-class hunter, feeling the cold?”

Yoo Woo-jung casually remarked.

As I looked at Siho, she ignored Yoo Woo-jung and came to me, leaning her head against me and pulling my hands to hug her.

“Siho, are you cold?”

I decided to quietly hug her.

She’s cold, after all.
