S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 173



Only Noblemtl

173. The Grand Meeting of Kings

“I think I’ve decided what to wear.”

Cheon Do-woon lifted up the jumping dodak.

With his other hand, Dodak handed the stuffed animal he had chosen to his master.

“I’m going to wear this striped outfit. Please alter it.”

“Is it repair?”

“As you can see, new shoots have grown on the back.”

Cheon Do-woon turned around and showed his back to Dodak.

“I can’t wear clothes like this. I wish you would make a small hole in my back so that the sprouts don’t get pressed down.”

“Okay, then I’ll measure the location of the new shoots.”

The owner wasn’t surprised to see Dodaki’s new shoots.

It is common for changes to occur in a chimera’s body.

To prepare for something like this, Dodak kept his clothes instead of sending them to the association.

The owner took out a tape measure and checked the location of the new shoots.

“The hole doesn’t have to be big. Even if the leaves bloom later, you can just roll them up and let them pass through.”

“Won’t the leaves get hurt?”

“It’s okay. It won’t hurt that much.”

The leaves of the World Tree are very durable.

Even if you pull, fold, or roll it, it will never tear and will return to its original state.

Cheon Do-woon knew its durability well, as he carried the leaf on his head.

“I can alter the clothes you are going to wear right away. However, the rest of them are quite large, so it will take some time.”

“It doesn’t matter. Oh, I don’t need to alter the five sets. Just give them to me separately.”

The clothes given to the garden roots did not need to have holes in the back.

What should I take? He thought for a moment, then looked at the clothes that had been disqualified in Dodak’s examination.

“The dungarees and the teddy bear pajamas. I’ll take those without alterations. As for the other three, recommend something that doesn’t have overlapping designs or colors.”

“If they don’t overlap… how about this?”

The owner took out a hanbok-style garment from the box.

“It’s okay. What else?”

The owner was so excited that he rummaged through the boxes as the recommended clothes passed right away.

“For the remaining two sets, I recommend these. What do you think?”

Hip-hop look on the left hand. Beach look on the right hand. Among them, the beach look caught Cheon Do-woon’s eye.

A colorful Aloha shirt and white shorts. The sunglasses accessory that can be worn as a necklace is the focal point.

Among them, there was one piece of jewelry that particularly stood out.

‘There’s a tube.’

A tube with a flower design was carried along with the clothes.

This is something I once tried to make for Dodak, but the timing wasn’t right, so it fell through.

I got my hands on a tube. If I ever go near water, I’ll take that with me for safety.

“Good. I’ll use that for the other two sets.”

The owner smiled at Cheon Do-woon’s passing sign. Cheon Do-woon also smiled at the unexpected tube that came into his hand.

The quest to choose clothes that satisfy everyone has come to an end.

* * *

The owner immediately started altering his striped suit.

It didn’t take much time because the clothes were small.

“It’s all done.”

The owner handed over the mended clothes. Cheon Do-woon took the clothes and sat down at the table.

He first lifted his trousers and put them on the soles of his feet.

-Phew…!

『It’s so soft…!』

The fit was acceptable. The owner looked relieved after seeing that.

Of course, I couldn’t rest easy yet. The brace that kept my pants from falling down was important.

‘Although it is made of soft material so that the roots do not get worn out… the actual fit depends on each person’s preference. This is the first hurdle.’

The owner’s heart was pounding.

Meanwhile, Cheon Do-woon picked up his pants with a pair of tongs.

I pulled the string back and picked up the pants from behind.

‘The reaction is… Melbang clear!’

The owner clenched his fist at Dodak’s reaction.

Now there are two gates left.

Cheon Do-woon made Dodak wear a suit jacket.

After pulling the sleeves through the base of both arms, he wrapped the blue scarf around his neck.

Press the snap buttons on the inside to prevent the scarf from slipping down. You’re done.

“It’s done. How is it?”

Cheon Do-woon put the spoon down on the table.

A white striped suit that increases the wearer’s dignity by +3. He flashed a cane.

Dodaki’s dignity increased by 3.

Of course, Dodak wasn’t satisfied with that. He had to see if dancing was comfortable.

Dodaki stretched his arms upwards and shook his torso from side to side.

Twice to the left, twice to the right. The plump body swayed from side to side.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

“It’s very flexible!”

A golden phrase floated above his head.

The owner who saw that looked moved. He got a passing grade from that picky grassroots.

Cheon Do-woon lifted Dodak and placed it on his shoulder.

“I’m going to wear these as they are. Pack the five sets I left out separately. The rest of the clothes are all going for alterations.”

“All right.”

“Pay the repair fee with this.”

Cheon Do-woon held out a black card. It was the card that the association president had once given him, telling him to use it as he pleased.

He used the association president’s card and left the store.

The owner watched his back with satisfaction. To be exact, he saw Dodak standing on Cheon Do-woon’s shoulder.

That plump striped rear end. It suits her well. Her eyes aren’t dead yet.

The clothing store owner nodded with a satisfied look on his face.

* * *

When Cheon Do-woon returned home, he placed Dodak on the table.

Kim Na-ri, who had just finished playing tag, saw Dodak and her eyes widened.

“Oh, the dodak is white…!”

Kim Na-ri walked around the table.

I clenched my fists at the sight of Dodak in his new clothes.

“It’s a white dot!”

“Yeah. It’s a white coat.”

“There are stripes too!”

“Yeah. And there are stripes too.”

“He’s like the boss of the organization. He’s the boss!”

“Oh no. I lost my position as boss.”

The siblings next to them laughed at the banter between the two. Kim Na-ri looked at Dodak and asked.

“Are you going to dress the garden kids in clothes now?”

“Of course. I have to take pictures. Are the kids sleeping now?”

“Awake. I saw you sunbathing earlier. I’ll go get you.”

Kim Na-ri went to the garden and came back carrying five roots.

When I put it down on the table, the roots started to swirl around it.

-Huh?

-Huh, huh?

When they arrived at the unfamiliar place, the roots became nervous. The largest of them noticed the moss and froze.

The meeting between the former king and the current king. At that, the young roots all stopped making noise.

As it suddenly became quiet, the group also held their breath and watched.

The first to move was the leader of the garden roots.

The big root looked back at his group. He looked at them and saw Todak.

I didn’t know we would meet so suddenly, but since we did, I had something to report.

-Whew!

The large root roared as it stretched its leaves upward. It pointed to the two dried-up individuals with its arm roots.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

I took care of it. It’s gotten so fat. It’s gotten so plump. That’s what the gardener reported to Dodak.

I am now the leader of a group. That is what I report.

A face of deep emotion appeared on it.

The young entity that had been under his care in Seolsan had grown into a full-fledged root.

Although he is still very young, he is leading the group well. It was touching to hear that.

Their eyes met. Dodak nodded with a solemn expression.

-Okay, okay.

The recognition of the previous king. Juice welled up in the eyes of the big root. The days spent comforting the roots younger than him flashed through his mind.

-Phew… Phew.

The big root made a small sound. It was the sound of the tree wanting to tease Dodak.

Of course, that didn’t actually happen. The young roots were watching from behind. He could no longer remain a young root.

He lifted his foot and slammed it down on the table.

Beans. There was a majestic sound of footsteps.

-Whew!

I also let out a loud roar. It was the roar of an adult.

The group that was watching the situation clenched their fists at the sight.

“This, this is… magnificent.”

Kim Na-ri said.

“Yeah. I don’t know for sure, but it’s magnificent.”

Yoo Beom also said. Yoo Ji Ah also nodded with a serious face.

The grand confrontation between the former and current kings. It ended safely.

“Okay. Now that we’re all joined in, let’s take some pictures. Each of you dress up your garden kids.”

Cheon Do-woon took out clothes from the paper bag he had brought.

Hanbok, overalls, hip-hop look, beach look, teddy bear pajamas.

The group began to dress the garden roots one by one.

“The clothes are really cheap… They’re so small. It’s like I’m playing with dolls.”

It was Yoo Beom’s impression. The muscular, bird-headed human held the smallest root in his hand and dressed it in clothes.

Meanwhile, Nam Ki-seok took out a tripod from his luggage. He also placed a fancy camera on top of it.

“When did you get that?”

“I did before. You said it would be nice to take a group photo together. I thought the opportunity would come someday, so I saved it.”

I didn’t realize that when we were asked to take that group photo, we would take it as a group first.

Nam Ki-seok placed a tripod in front of the table and adjusted the angle.

Kim Na-ri, who saw that, pulled Cheon Do-woon’s sleeve.

“Sir, I wish we could take a picture together.”

“Are you a priest?”

“Yes. Sasa is always alone. He is lonely. I wish he would be included in the Mandraz group.”

Kim Na-ri said, pointing to the garden.

Sasa, who had been kicked out of the greenhouse and even the garden, was loitering around the area.

-Beep…?

Sasa was at a loss when he couldn’t see the roots of the garden. He stood up on both legs and looked around the garden.

Even so, the corners of her eyes became moist.

At that point, it might not be appetite but love. Cheon Do-woon smirked and brought Sasa.

“If we see each other, we’ll fight again. If you put the matter on the table, I’ll take action immediately.”

“yes!”

Nam Ki-seok took a pose and started taking pictures.

The background is a winter forest where the snow has not yet melted.

Mandraj and Sasa roam freely on a wooden table.

There were no subjects posing for the camera, but I actually liked the naturalness of it.

“I think this many shots will be enough. I think it would be enough to just pick a few and upload them.”

Nam Ki-seok put the camera away and took only the memory chip.

“Then I’ll go home and upload some photos. I’ll come back and report to you later!”

Nam Ki-seok left the gate after saying those words.

The photo-taking mission ended safely. Cheon Do-woon took off the roots’ clothes and left them in the garden.

To prevent a fight from breaking out, the sasa was released a short distance away.

“We’ve taken all the pictures. Now, shall we go to the dormant volcano?”

He looked around the yard. He had intended to take Blue, but Blue seemed to have gone out and was nowhere to be seen.

“Did you go hunting? You’ll have to wait a bit.”

As Cheon Do-woon sat down at the table, Kim Na-ri also sat next to him.

Kim Na-ri looked at Cheon Do-woon as if she suddenly remembered something.

“Sir, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“You always ride Blue. Can’t you fly?”

In Kim Na-ri’s eyes, there was nothing Cheon Do-woon couldn’t do.

Cooking, building, hunting, painting. The all-rounder who is good at everything is Cheon Do-un.

There was one thing in particular that he did not do.

“I have never seen you fly.”

The siblings looked at Cheon Do-woon at Kim Na-ri’s words. Their eyes were also filled with curiosity.

‘That’s true, I guess. Cheon Do-woon must have some bird cells mixed in too.’

The power of the World Tree harmoniously fuses the transplanted cells. Then, wouldn’t it be possible to extract wings from within the body like they did?

‘If you have wings, why don’t you fly by yourself?’

Before we knew it, everyone in the group was waiting for Cheon Do-woon’s answer with curious faces.
