S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 114

Episode 114: Communion with Mandragora

Nari Kim, who was listening quietly, had a curious look on her face.

Nari Kim liked the story of Cheon Do-un’s escape. Something felt different from her own escape.

A leisurely getaway without any rush.

There was no question as to whether Cheondoun’s Masil was really the capital.

To Kim Na-ri, if Cheon Do-un says so, it is just so.

“There’s something comfortable about your uncle’s escape.”

“okay?”

“It’s a getaway that smells like flowers.”

“I think the first run was definitely like that. “Because there were a lot of flowers blooming in the area.”

Nari Kim looked at Cheon Do-un and asked again.

“mister. “Did you ever get sick at the lab?”

At that question, Nam Ki-seok’s shoulders trembled.

This is an innocent question that can be asked because it is Nari Kim. He would never be able to ask that from the front.

“If it hurts… well.”

It would be a lie to say that there is absolutely nothing. But is it really possible for a person to never experience pain in his or her life?

It hurts even if I catch a cold and it hurts if I fall.

If you think about it that way, there wasn’t much pain that was memorable.

Of course, there were times during training when an instructor shot me in the leg, but that was out of the question.

If something happened to him, he didn’t just let it go.

Since it was returned in some form, it was counted as Samsam in Heaven’s fortune.

“At the research institute I worked in, most cell transplants were done through injection. Maybe I have a special constitution, but I didn’t experience any side effects. “I guess that’s why I don’t have many painful memories.”

As he spoke, Doun Cheon began to have doubts about himself.

He was the only one who did not experience any side effects even after receiving hundreds of types of monster cells.

‘If you think about it, there was no rejection reaction to the transplant. There was no pain.’

Cheon Do-woon was the only such case within the institute.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s a bit strange. ‘When the side effects first started, there was no pain.’

Therefore, it was late for me to realize that something was wrong with my body.

By the time I felt something strange, a large part of my head had already been damaged.

If there had been pain from side effects, would the abnormal symptoms have been noticed sooner?

If that were the case, would she have sincerely tried to escape from the research center like Nari Kim?

“mister. “What are you thinking like that?”

“I wonder what’s on the menu for dinner tonight.”

Cheon Do-un said something completely different.

It’s all in the past anyway. It’s good that I’m back to the body I had in my prime.

Nam Ki-seok, who had been pretending not to notice and listening, was taken aback by the sudden topic and then answered.

“Oh, today is fish cake stew.”

“Fish cake stew?”

“yes. When it comes to winter, it’s definitely this. “Wouldn’t fish cake soup in a snow-covered yard be a delicacy?”

Ki-seok Nam said while looking at the softly shining fence.

If you look at the fence without looking anywhere else, it looks like a quaint campsite.

“It’s a fish cake stew made with bean sprouts, bok choy, and shiitake mushrooms. Add the special sauce and boil it… Voila! “A bowl of this in winter will warm your heart.”

Ki-seok Nam deliberately spoke in a bright voice.

I don’t know what Cheon Do-un went through in the past.

I can only assume that since he is an old-fashioned chimera hunter, he must have taken a difficult path.

‘It’s not good to hastily comfort someone without knowing much.’

In the first place, it was questionable whether Cheon Do-un was the person who needed comfort.

If you throw out comforting words out of nowhere, wouldn’t people look at themselves wondering why they are like that?

If so, there is one thing you can do now.

“Try this hot fish cake stew.”

Eating something warm and delicious will make you feel better. Nam Ki-seok recommended fish cake stew with a confident face.

As the salty scent spread, Cheon Do-woon also looked interested.

“It smells good. “When will that be completed?”

“It’s done now. “Just put it in a bowl.”

“okay? That’s good. “It looks like Yubeom is coming back too, so we can all eat together.”

“You’re coming back already?”

Ki-seok Nam looked around at the sky.

‘It’s this dark, brother, what can you see?’

It was late at night and there was nothing to see. At that moment of puzzlement, I caught a glimpse of a human figure flying from afar.

Soon after, Yoo Beom landed in the yard, taking Oh Bong Soo with him.

There were six large and small luminous stones in Oh Bong-su’s arms.

“I brought it.”

“uh. “It worked because I activated the ability near a volcanic area.”

“That’s good. “Why is that kid’s expression like that?”

Oh Bong-su had a half-fazed expression on his face.

His hair was matted and sticking up into the sky as if it had been struck by lightning. In that state, the frost did not come down.

“That’s because I flew at a bit of a high speed. “Now, should we sit here, little one?”

Yoo Beom sat Oh Bong Soo in front of the table. Even as he sat down with an ecstatic expression on his face, Oh Bong-su did not let go of the glow-in-the-dark stone he held in his arms.

My body froze from the high-speed flight in the middle of winter.

“You can put that down now.”

“ah… Ah yes.”

At Cheon Do-un’s words, Oh Bong-su finally came to his senses.

“Since you are already here, you should eat and leave. “It’s our chef’s special fish cake stew.”

“A bowl of this will warm your heart. “Uncle Ki-seok Nam said that.”

Nari Kim added additional explanation from the side.

What was given to those who worked hard was hot fish cake stew. A steaming bowl was placed in front of each person.

Oh Bong-su warmed his hands by holding a warm bowl. The salty smell of soy sauce relieved my body of fatigue.

“ruler… thank you for this food!”

The meal began with a bowl of fish cake stew in a snow-covered winter yard.

* * *

When the meal was over, Cheon Do-un opened the gate and called Oh Bong-su.

“You stop going back. “The awakened level is low, so you won’t be able to last long here.”

“yes!”

“Thank you for your hard work today. good job.”

Oh Bong-su stiffened at the lightly spoken words.

Is being recognized by someone really such an itch?

Having lived on the streets his entire life, he was unfamiliar with compliments from adults.

“uh… that is… .”

I don’t know why I feel so sad when I say “well done”.

Oh Bong-su bowed his head to hide his tears.

“Okay, then I’ll go first!”

I won’t forget today. Oh Bong-su thought to himself.

Flying into the sky at high speed while being grabbed by Yoo-beom, using his abilities to help someone, and sitting down to eat with many people.

‘I was praised.’

It was his first time receiving praise from an adult.

Director Kim stood in front of the gate before it closed.

“I’ll go now too. “I don’t think I should send Bongsu home alone now.”

After enjoying this bustle. If you sit at home alone, you will feel lonely in an instant.

“Oh, right. “I patented that hair loss medicine.”

After speaking, Director Kim looked embarrassed.

“I wanted to tell you in a cool way… “I ended up saying something unexpectedly.”

“That’s enough. Congratulations on the patent. “Now I can make a medicine that will make the parrot’s feathers grow.”

“A parrot dog?”

“You know this because you’ve seen it before, but it doesn’t grow up with its tail feathers missing. “When you have time, come and check it out.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Manager Kim smiled and nodded.

At this point, I couldn’t tell if I was an alchemist or a monster doctor, but it didn’t feel bad.

“Then let’s go.”

Director Kim also returned through the gate like that.

When they left, Cheon Do-un took a glow-in-the-dark stone and went to the garden.

He sat in front of where the judge was sleeping. Kim Nari, who saw this, squatted down next to Cheon Do-un.

“The judge is still sleeping.”

“I know. “What’s the problem?”

Cheon Do-un looked at the history.

The flower in my hair was fresh. The scales were shiny and looked healthy.

Cheon Do-un opened his waist bag while inspecting the envoy.

-Huh?

Dodak, who was lying in the bag, stuck out his face when the door opened.

-Help, hehe!

“okay. Now the leaves have returned to their original state.”

Before I knew it, all but four of the leaves of Dodaki, which had grown into an afro, had fallen.

Inside the bag, there were piles of fallen leaves.

Cheon Doun took out one of them and put it to the judge’s mouth.

-beep… Beep… !

As he once did, the judge ate the leaves even while he was asleep.

After feeding him 3 pieces, he seemed to be full and did not open his mouth any more.

‘Should I leave the rest here? If you’re hungry, you’ll eat on your own.’

Cheon Doun placed the remaining leaves in front of the judge.

It’s a bonus to press the end with a small stone to prevent it from blowing away in the wind.

Now it’s time to dispose of the glow-in-the-dark stones you brought.

He dug a hole next to the judge. A glow-in-the-dark rock was buried there and covered with dirt.

-Huh?

Dodak watched Cheon Doun do this and jumped out of the bag.

As Cheon Do-un pressed the soil with his hands, Dodak started pressing the ground with the roots of his feet next to him.

“Are you helping me?”

-Huh!

“okay. thank you.”

At Cheon Doun’s words, Dodak moved his feet faster.

Pop, pop, pop. The roots of my feet moved dazzlingly as if I was doing a tap dance.

As if he thought that just the root of his foot would not work, he also took out a small root and tapped it on the floor.

Pop-dak-pap-dak. Grains of dirt splashed out. Cheon Do-un laughed quietly when he saw that.

I guess I was trying to help in my own way, but in reality it wasn’t helpful.

“you’re good.”

Dodaki’s leaves shrugged at Cheon Do-un’s praise.

After finishing the work, Dodak sat down in his seat.

I hit the spot with a small root and saw Cheondoun.

“Why did you bury the glow-in-the-dark stone?

-Huh.

“There was a luminous stone buried where the judge was born.”

There was a glow-in-the-dark stone next to the nest where the eggs were placed. With that in mind, I buried a glow-in-the-dark stone next to it.

“Because there is an energy that glow-in-the-dark stones give off. “I think if we create an environment similar to where they were born, there might be some change.”

If he doesn’t wake up after this, I’ll have to take him to a volcanic area.

“The man is amazing. “How do you understand what Dodak is saying?”

“I never understood.”

“uh… ? “Oh, you don’t know?”

Nari Kim tilted her head.

“But now I have answered Dodak’s question. “What is that?”

“I just matched appropriately.”

I only answered because it seemed like he was questioning his actions. I didn’t really understand what was said.

“I don’t understand the words, but I can feel the emotions.”

“emotion?”

“okay. Something that makes you happy or sad.”

Cheon Do-woon looked at Dodak. Before I knew it, Dodak was lying down in the garden, enjoying the energy of the soil.

“Dodak is satisfied if I tell him something.”

“So, do you understand what the dodgy man is saying?”

“no.”

If you don’t know what people are saying, it doesn’t mean you can understand them.

However, every time you wonder about something, the helper responds. They chatter loudly and make their voices heard.

Dodak liked it. Dodak was happy, so Cheon Do-woon could only give an answer that sounded like he was talking to himself.

After hearing the explanation, Nari Kim looked disappointed.

“mister. “I hope we can communicate easily.”

“I know. “That would be great.”

If Dodak spoke human language, what would his first word be?

-He’s my helper. I’m hungry. Give me mana.

He may complain in a grand tone and ask for food.

Cheon Do-un laughed at his imagination and poured mana into Dodak.

-Whoa, whoa… !

Dodaki’s roar of satisfaction echoed through the yard.

* * *

Four days passed quickly as we expanded the house.

On the day he was scheduled to meet with the TDA lab person, Cheon Do-woon prepared to leave the gate.

“We want to go too, but… Since we just got back from the auction, we can’t go out of the gate. If you catch that teacher, bring him here. “Look at your face.”

Yubeom said as he saw him off. Beside him, Yujia quietly cracked his fingers.

“okay. “Then I’ll come back.”

Cheon Do-un broke the hearthstone and went out of the gate.

Gold City’s dome where the auction took place. Cheon Do-un moved there and looked around.

We didn’t decide where to meet, but finding it was no problem.

Cheondoun covered the entire area with his mana.

As his mana spread throughout Gold City, the awakened people shivered with chills.

“W-what is this energy?”

“Did the gate open somewhere?”

“Contact the Hunter Association!”

Shouts of panic rang out from all directions. Cheon Do-un, ignoring the commotion, grinned.

‘found.’

He ran towards the target he found.

As he climbed up the building and looked at the ground, he found Kim Cheol-soo.

Cheolsu Kim was arguing with his teacher about something.

“That person… .”

Cheon Do-un looked at the face of the person he called his teacher and smiled.

As time passed, the face changed a lot. But the tattoo on the back of her hand was so unique that I recognized it right away.

“Was that person your teacher?”

-Huh?

Dodak, sensing his emotional change, peeked out from the bag.

Cheon Do-un stroked Dodaki’s leaves and then jumped down in front of them.

‘The person who transplanted Mandragora cells into me.’

A person who was crazy about Mandragora research. The researcher was in front of me.
