Chapter 485 – Of Course, I’m Not a Hunter.
Honestly, this could be called a crisis.
Of course, considering we’ve been having a friendly, racist conversation until now.
In a way, something like this minor physical clash could happen anytime.
But I didn’t expect it to escalate to assassination attempts.
[It seems like your fault is bigger; just take the hit.]
‘If you want to be precise, you’re the biggest jerk here.’
But I wasn’t worried about that at all.
“Take care of it, Hyeji.”
“Hye-ki-yah-hoo~!”
Thanks to Hyeji, who’s more reliable than anyone.
Though it looked like a white guy’s fist was about to swing at me.
In that brief moment, Hyeji explosively charged and kicked him in the side.
So hard it would make you think she was just joking around.
– Pududuk!!
“AAAHHHHH!!!”
With a frightening sound like something breaking, the white guy crashed down to the ground amongst a group of foreigners.
Of course, no one caught him, and they quickly scattered.
That’s what a Hunter’s like.
“What are you doing—!”
“This is the remaining payment.”
– Thwack!!!
Moreover, Hyeji expertly grabbed a floating brick and smashed it on the white guy’s head.
As a result, his words became incomplete and ended on a bloody note.
Like a final touch, a small fountain of red sprang up.
[Looks like bricks should really be used for toilets.]
‘……Why am I the toilet?’
[Because usually white folks are the bottom feeders.]
‘……Let’s just stop talking, fuck.’
Regardless, thanks to Hyeji’s cleverness.
He wasn’t completely out cold and slowly got back on his feet, even while bleeding.
Still determined not to back down from what he started.
“Hurry and let go of that!!!”
“How much are you buying it for?”
“Wha, are you crazy!”
[It has to be sold at the peak price.]
‘I’d say you’re the real crazy one in this novel.’
Anyway, I had no intention of getting involved with this black guy anymore.
So, following his wishes, I calmly let go of his wrist.
Kicking him like Hyeji did at the end.
“Go wash up, you jerk. Why’re you so dirty?”
– Thwack!!!
[Be reasonable. If you kick him, his market value goes down.]
‘You should be the one being reasonable, you bitch.’
Meanwhile, the kicked black guy leaned onto the white guy.
This time, he spouted words instead of screams.
“That’s racism! I’m always clean!”
“Of course, it shows!”
“Ah, fuck. You were on top…?”
Screams would have been a hundred times better than this.
[White and black… the Eastern mystery of ‘Yin and Yang’ was right there.]
‘Please just shut up, you piece of trash.’
Meanwhile, the white guy helped the black guy sit back up.
Then, protectively, he stepped forward and pointed straight at Hyeji.
He had to be quite irritated after getting kicked by her.
“Is that gunman over there a punk hiding behind a hood?”
Hyeji usually gets mistaken for a guy but maybe it was because of the hood this time.
It’s worrying how deep the misunderstanding has gotten for that guy’s safety.
[That’s not a guy!]
‘……This is going to end badly.’
But the person in question, Hyeji, didn’t react at all.
“Shinwoo, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
She just calmly and slowly spoke to me.
Then, she pointed at the white guy with a look of curiosity, unveiling a dangerously innocent question.
“Why is that guy so white? Did he get leukemia just for being white?”
The narrow-minded thinking that diseases relate to skin color.
Even though we’ve been raging about racism, this is still inappropriate.
It could easily settle into something stereotypical.
“That’s not true, Hyeji.”
“Why? And don’t white people only get leukemia?”
So I carefully tried to correct Hyeji’s twisted thinking.
“White people also die from the black plague, you know.”
“Oh, right. So that red-faced white guy must have measles then?”
“Exactly.”
“Indeed.”
“You’re all wrong, you crazy Chinese freaks!!!”
And Hyeji and I simultaneously raised our middle fingers at the white guy.
“Your mama.”
“What the hell are you saying, white dog bastard.”
Amidst this, Hyeji unleashed words far sharper than mine.
Suddenly, the black guy stood up and stepped closer again.
He must have been so furious, ignoring the pain from a solid kick that left a mark.
“If you’ve had your fun, pay up and get lost, you racist bastards!”
He really looked like he was about to take extreme measures without hesitation.
Yet, Hyeji only clapped her hands, expressing genuine admiration.
“Oh, the black guy came to rescue the master!”
“Hey! Where the hell did you jump out from, you crazy nut!!!”
“Out of your mama’s womb.”
With that, the furious black guy started to rush at us ferociously.
“I’m just going to kill you and take the money!!!”
“Why the hell are you coming at me?”
Not at Hyeji, but at me.
Seeing that the white guy had just been beaten, perhaps he thought I was the easier target.
Looking at it, it was a really ugly display of strength’s ebb and flow.
However, the black guy couldn’t land the attack he aimed for.
“Stop it.”
“Don’t interfere!!!”
Suddenly, a Caressy jumped between me and the black guy.
The black guy recognized the pure physical ability that he had seen from Caressy in Hunter’s Grosella and backed down, but his face was twisted with unresolved anger.
He was stomping his feet as if he couldn’t hold back his rage.
But the moment Caressy calmly opened her mouth while looking super relaxed.
“I’ll compensate you as you wish.”
“……What?”
The emotion of anger on his face disappeared cleanly.
“Didn’t you hear what I said?”
“Are you serious…?”
“Yeah. Take it.”
Instead, disbelief and astonishment washed over his face.
Of course, without caring, Caressy tossed a white envelope at his feet.
By the loud sound it made, it seemed quite heavy.
“You were right. Go eat that and disappear.”
At those words, the black guy, as if entranced, scooped up the money envelope from the ground.
On his face, for the first time, he wore a delighted smile.
“Let it slide this time! Next time, there’s no way you’re getting off easily!!!”
With that, he quickly joined the group of foreigners along with the white guy.
The process had been horrible, but they had achieved their original goal.
It’s a very Caressy-like way to resolve everything with money.
[You just wanted to end the fuss, huh?]
‘A little bit like that, yeah.’
Honestly, I didn’t like this way at all for this instance.
No matter how much money Caressy had, I had no intention of letting those bastards benefit from this.
Even though they had thrown all kinds of insults at us and nearly broke our spirits.
In the end, all we’d done was give them an advantage.
“Caressy, why did you do that?”
“When you have too much money, you should give it to me!!!”
“Come on, no way this is right.”
“What? You’re the Saintess! Anyway, let’s get out of here before they come back.”
Saying that, Caressy forcibly led us to another location.
I still found it hard to accept, but I decided to at least understand her position.
Visiting a foreign land as a Saintess, it wouldn’t benefit anyone to stir up a fight.
In a way, she could be seen as quite Saintly in wanting to end the disputes.
“Hey!!!!!!!”
“Stop right there!!!!”
In that moment, a group of foreigners began to charge at us fiercely.
Leading the charge was the black guy, gripping the money envelope Caressy had handed him tightly.
Probably wanting to express gratitude to Caressy.
[Still not satisfied, huh?]
‘Since he was a Hunter, I knew this would happen.’
Trying to get even more money, blinded by greed.
“Who puts cotton and chicken in a money envelope, you insane bitch!!!”
It was pure anger, neither side making sense of it.
I thought she’d offered money to end the dispute.
But now I saw that she had rather sown the seeds of conflict.
Indeed, before being a Saintess, Caressy was definitely just a crazy bitch.
Meanwhile, Caressy grinned at the charging foreigners instead of running away.
With a mocking smile plastered on her face, she raised her hand.
“I thought you were so primitive you’d use that as currency.”
[The Saintess of the KKK, huh?]
‘……No wonder they call her the ‘white’ cat…’
Hearing that, the black guy cursed with half-rolling eyes.
“Hey, you fucking bastard!!!”
“You’re a cat, you know.”
He started to show a slightly different approach than losing his mind.
Suddenly, the foreigner gang stopped abruptly.
Only one had their palm wide open in front.
“I’ll just take it by sheer power!!!”
No sooner than he finished speaking, several white whirlwinds appeared around us.
From how he hadn’t used any abilities before, it was quite likely he didn’t have an Ability Usage Permit.
But now, the black guy had definitely activated his ability.
[Isn’t that punishable by the state?]
‘He was probably too angry to think about that.’
Even with a lot of people still around.
He was really furious about this whole thing.
Honestly, we didn’t feel any sense of crisis at all.
Even Elcia was casually expressing her admiration.
“Who would expect a ‘black’ guy to produce a ‘white’ typhoon? Talk about racism!”
“Shut up!!!”
Meanwhile, Hyeji and I calmly addressed the black guy even through the storm.
“It’d be best to stop whatever you’re doing.”
“Or you’ll cry?”
“Don’t joke! First, show us your face!!!”
No sooner had the words left my mouth than the white whirlwinds ruthlessly tore away Hyeji’s and my hoods.
And the black guy smirked, looking proudly at the hoods floating up in the sky.
“Looks like you spent some good cash on those!”
But as the hoods fell, and his gaze fell from above to below.
The smile on the black guy’s face abruptly disappeared.
“…….”
“Oh man, I didn’t want to show it here!”
“Make sure to remember this! And don’t tell anyone!”
Conversely, Hyeji and I couldn’t help but grin.
With that, the white whirlwinds summoned by the black guy came to a stop.
The only things that didn’t stop were two.
One was the tears flowing from the black guy.
“……Mom (Mother f…)…”
“I told you.”
“You’re crying.”
The other was the black guy’s lower half starting to get soaked.
[Oh, it’s transparent, huh.]
‘…..Tears are naturally transparent… Are you serious? You’ve been too much, you know…?’
[I was talking about the color of urine; what are you thinking that’s so racially charged?]
‘Fuck you.’
And that’s the extra nonsense from the Piece.
