Kang Min-ah learned various pieces of information while talking with Yoon Seung-ah.
She felt relieved when she heard that Yoon Seo-ah, who mostly spends time alone, had started hanging out with Kang Min-ji, but one thing bothered her: Kim Si-woo was also included.
'Why is Kim Si-woo there!'
It wasn't like Kim Si-woo was alone with them, and Yoon Seo-ah and Kang Min-ji were together, so she felt somewhat relieved.
If he hadn't made that perverted request, she would have thought more positively about Kim Si-woo, but as Kang Min-ah, who was already a month-long slave, she couldn't stand the thought of him hanging out with them.
'He's probably only like that with me...'
Kang Min-ah sighed, realizing she hadn't been paying attention to Min-ji because she'd been busy lately. As they talked, it became lunchtime.
She wanted to ask more about it, but Choi Tae-soo suddenly barged into the meal, and the topic ended there.
Eating between Choi Tae-soo, known as the Hunter's suppressor, and Yoon Seung-ah, she didn't know if the food was going in through her nose or her mouth, and the meal ended.
During the break before the afternoon meeting, Kang Min-ah started asking Yoon Seung-ah what she was curious about.
"Seung-ah... Unnie, when did the three of them start hanging out together?"
"I heard about it a few days ago, so I think they started hanging out together after Seo-ah lost in the sparring match?"
"Aren't you monitoring them these days?"
People didn't know, but it was hard to find guilds in South Korea that handled information and weren't related to the Death God Guild.
"Seo-ah got super angry last time I got caught, so I'm being careful."
"So you were doing it anyway..."
Knowing Yoon Seung-ah's personality, that she wouldn't be satisfied unless she knew all the information, she could tell how much Yoon Seung-ah cared for Seo-ah.
"Is... Kim Si-woo okay? He gave Seo-ah her first defeat..."
"It was a necessary experience. You know Seo-ah's habit, right?"
"Are you talking about her not going all out?"
Yoon Seung-ah nodded and said.
"It's okay now because it's sparring, but she could die in the field if she does that."
As they talked and walked, they arrived in front of Yoon Seung-ah's room.
"Hey, Min-ah-yah. Where are you going?"
"..."
She couldn't argue with Yoon Seung-ah, who was friends with her mother, and she had a pretty quick temper for an S-Rank Hunter, so she decided to just follow Yoon Seung-ah's words.
When they opened the door, a room that looked better than most seven-star hotels greeted them.
The overall tone was white with gold accents, and there was a pure white marble floor and a white shoe cabinet.
"Looks like they paid some attention after I complained last time?"
"I didn't come here to play around, so please refrain from that. Seo-ah's mother."
"?"
Yoon Seung-ah turned her head and glared at her after hearing those words, but Kang Min-ah sighed and replied.
"Seung-ah Unnie..."
"I did come to rest. Do you know how hard the guild work is?"
"Yes... Yes..."
Kang Min-ah didn't have the word "Unnie" naturally coming out of her mouth, but she couldn't help it.
Following Yoon Seung-ah, who was in a good mood after hearing the word "Unnie," she entered the room.
Passing through the long hallway, like the entrance, the irregular pure white marble floor and pure white wallpaper and moldings gave the living room an overall feeling of being wider.
The beige-toned sofas and furniture in the living room gave a warm feeling, and the black accents that were visible in between looked luxurious.
"You can see the ocean too?"
A vast ocean was spread out in the window.
"Yeah, if you're going to bring someone like me, you have to spend this much."
"It's better than before, though?"
"Hmm? It's not a real ocean, is it?"
Yoon Seung-ah sat down on the large sofa, which could seat more than 12 people, with a satisfied expression.
Kang Min-ah felt stressed thinking that she had to keep being with Yoon Seung-ah.
'If Kim Si-woo was here at times like this...'
Maybe it was because she was stressed, but she kept thinking about Kim Si-woo. She felt like she missed Kim Si-woo stroking her hair and praising her.
'Crazy! What are you thinking!'
At that moment, they heard a knock on the door from outside. There was still time left until the meeting, so she had no idea who it could be.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly here?"
A woman wearing a black battle suit that covered her face bowed her head and came inside.
The woman's name was Jia, and she was affiliated with the Death God Guild as Yoon Seung-ah's right-hand woman, and she had rushed here from the Stard Bank.
"Master. I have something to report."
"Didn't I tell you to tell me about work-related matters later?"
"There was a terrorist attack at the Stard Bank headquarters."
"...What?"
"What did you say?"
Jia began to report on what had happened at the bank.
From the fact that Yoon Seo-ah, Kim Si-woo, and Kang Min-ji had stopped the terrorist attack, to the story about the human who used Demonic energy, she explained in detail.
"Is Seo-ah safe?"
"Is our Min-ji okay?"
"Both of them are fine, except for the early stages of Mana exhaustion."
Both of them sighed in relief when they heard that they weren't seriously injured.
"By the way, a human who uses Demonic energy?"
Yoon Seung-ah frowned and spoke. It was the first time she had heard that a human who used Demonic energy existed.
It was impossible for a human to use the Demonic energy that monsters used. Even for Hunters, it wasn't uncommon for them to be eroded by high concentrations of Demonic energy, but to use that power?
"Yes, based on what I observed, he was estimated to be around A-Rank."
"And three students defeated him?"
Yoon Seung-ah acknowledged her daughter's talent, but even so, A-Rank was on a different level.
Even if there were three Seo-ahs, she thought it would be impossible, and he was not an existence they could ever win against.
'Even with anti-magic abilities, it would be too much for that brat...'
As far as she knew, Kang Min-ji and Kim Si-woo were far behind Yoon Seo-ah.
"From the perspective of watching the battle, he seemed a bit unstable."
"Unstable? Tell me more."
Jia nodded to Yoon Seung-ah and said her thoughts.
"From the perspective of watching the battle, I got a strong feeling that he was intentionally trying not to use his power."
"In my personal opinion, there are either side effects to handling Demonic energy itself, or he hasn't fully adapted yet."
"Side effects aside, adaptation?"
"Please explain in detail what you mean by that."
"This is just my thought, but just like Hunters need time for their bodies to change due to Mana during Awakening, I'm guessing that Demonic energy is similar."
"Based on what I observed, it seemed awkward to use the ability itself, like a Hunter who hasn't been Awakened for very long."
"Awkward, huh..."
Jia was as seasoned as Yoon Seung-ah. Because she was an experienced Hunter, if Jia thought so, it was probably mostly correct.
"If he was in perfect condition, I'm sorry to say this, but I think there's a high possibility that all three of you would have died."
Jia muttered in a dry voice that didn't convey any emotion. Yoon Seung-ah knew that she was just clumsy at expressing herself and had no ill intentions.
Rather than that, she felt a strong surge of anger towards the guys who had messed with her daughter.
"Okay... Do you think you can beat that bastard if he's in perfect condition?"
"Yes, he's strong, but he seemed to lack combat experience. But if he gains experience, I don't know."
"Okay."
The air turned cold enough to send shivers down her spine.
"I can't stand the sight of anyone who dares to touch my people and still be alive."
The Hunter Association President and Choi Tae-soo, who could be called the suppressants of South Korean Hunters, and Yoon Seung-ah.
She could almost see her tearing the Villains in half with her telekinesis.
Kang Min-ah also felt a strong hostility. She didn't want to keep alive the bastards who had touched her mother and sister.
"Gather all the information about those bastards."
"Yes, I understand."
Jia also seemed full of motivation. She might seem expressionless to others, but in fact, Jia had been taking care of Yoon Seo-ah since she was a child.
'I wonder if Seo-ah was greatly influenced by Jia...'
She had asked Jia, whom she trusted the most, for the sake of safety, but there was a high possibility that Yoon Seo-ah had been influenced by Jia's unique expressionlessness.
'Well, Seo-ah is Seo-ah, anyway.'
She felt sorry that she hadn't been able to give her much attention because incidents and accidents happened frequently in those days, but she felt grateful to Jia.
Even though she might seem blunt and insensitive to others, she knew that Jia genuinely rejoiced when it came to matters related to Seo-ah, which made her feel even more so.
The Association President must have heard this information anyway. The Association President and Choi Tae-soo wouldn't tolerate an unidentified group using Demonic energy in South Korea.
"I think this will be discussed at the afternoon meeting, but this is just my gut feeling, isn't it possible that the strange phenomena that are happening now are also related to these bastards? What do you think, Min-ah?"
"I think so too, Seung-ah Unnie. We have to burn them all completely..."
It was the moment when the existence of the secret organization was coming to the surface due to Kim Si-woo.
Yoon Seung-ah clapped her hands and changed the heavy atmosphere.
"Anyway, what about Kim Si-woo? What do you think?"
Kang Min-ji was Kang Min-ah's sister and the daughter of her friend Yoon-ah, so it didn't matter, but since Kim Si-woo was a man, she couldn't help but be concerned.
She was somewhat relieved that they weren't alone, but still, wasn't he the only man around Yoon Seo-ah?
"When I see him prioritizing the two of you without any hesitation even in dangerous situations, I think he's a trustworthy person."
"Really without any hesitation?"
"Yes"
"Still, he has guts. So, what happened to what I asked you to do?"
Jia briefly checked Kang Min-ah.
"May I report it here now?"
"Seung-ah Unnie... Did you just do a background check?"
"What background check? I just looked into what kind of person he is, I didn't touch his private life. I was so sad when Seo-ah said she wouldn't see me again last time...."
Kang Min-ah narrowed her eyes and looked at the documents in Jia's hand, which were presumed to contain Kim Si-woo's personal information.
She wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut because she also had a lot of concerns about Kim Si-woo.
"Ehem~ Our Min-ah is curious too? Should I tell you?"
"I know to some extent because he's Min-ji's partner..."
"Well, there's no way Min-ah, who's a hardcore sis-con, wouldn't know, but it's not in detail, right?"
"Wh-... Who are you calling a sis-con!"
"So, are you curious?"
She knew about his appearance after entering the Academy, but she was curious because she didn't know about other parts.
"..."
"Hehe, you're so cute, okay, Jia, report on Kim Si-woo's past."
Yoon Seung-ah, who had confirmed Kang Min-ah's expression, burst into laughter and gave an order to Jia.
Jia bowed her head and began to tell the information about Kim Si-woo.
"Yes, recently..."
"From the past. I know that he had a 2nd Awakening."
"Yes, I understand. It has been found that he lost his parents due to a Gate collapse in middle school."
Hearing those words, Kang Min-ah felt a strange sense of kinship as she thought of her own father.
'Ki... Kim Si-woo also lost his family....'
Maybe that's why he became so twisted, because he lost his parents?
Thinking about the homework that Kim Si-woo had given her made her sigh.
'How am I supposed to film a masturbation video for him...'
