I tamed the First Rank Chapter 71

In the sea of countless search results, In Yoo-shin clicked on a web page that seemed like it would have animated GIFs.

There's a Hunter who's acting out a whole melodramatic romance by himself on a live broadcast...?!

<Hyeon Gyu-ha's Melodramatic Eyes.gif>

Honestly, I was pretty upset about him going public with his relationship, but after watching his live stream today, I totally get it... Those eyes can only come from true love... I thought his romantic feelings were all dead, but they just came back to life like crazy.

ㄴI'd bet my Gyu-ha photo card that I got yesterday that his secret relationship would have been exposed right away. How could he hide that? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴThroughout the live stream, he had this strange attitude—he was being dutiful but also rude, and he was doing what he was told but halfheartedly; His soul only came alive when he smiled at his lover ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋJust seeing Gyu's eyes light up made today's live stream worth itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋ

ㄴThe most frequently said word by the supernatural department's public servant hunter in a promotional live stream: >>boyfriend<<

Even though today's broadcast confirmed it, I still can't believe Gyu-ha is the 'submissive' in the relationshipㅋㅋㅋㅋHow much does he have to like him to throw away his favorite jacket just to look good, even after being dumped multiple times? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴㄴBoyfriend-nimㅠㅠ Please don't break up with our Gyu and cherish him with loveㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The smile that bloomed sweetly as if melting just because his eyes met was new. Was he always looking at me like this? His expressions, which had become so familiar when we met in everyday life, reminded me of feelings that had become dull due to familiarity when reassembled with the eyes and mouths of others.

In Yoo-shin suddenly became curious about what kind of expression he had when he saw him.

“Why are you looking at those blurry images when I'm right in front of you?”

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had come over, handed over a cup of coffee with ice floating in it. In Yoo-shin quickly closed the internet window.

If our eyes met now, that smile from earlier would definitely distract my mind. He glanced down while caressing 8-se's bulging belly.

“It seems like a lot of fans like it. Why didn’t you say a word to the fan cafe even though you joined it until you got kicked out?”

“There is no particular reason.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha sat next to him, drinking his own coffee.

“I felt like my life had no meaning, but other people were living such happy and fulfilling lives. I was curious about this and looked around and found out. People who like something seem to live more passionately.”

“……”

“I was just amazed that there were people who gave me the strength to live by seeing me on days like that when I was bored, tired, and wanted to give up everything.”

How old is his boredom?

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been reflecting on the past in a calm tone but absentmindedly, ended with a fake smile as if trying to change the mood.

“It’s annoying that I didn’t say anything. I didn’t really have anything to say.”

“Well, Gyu-ha-ssi.”

Perhaps now was a good time to ask the question that had been on my mind from time to time.

“You said that hanging out with me would help Gyu-ha-ssi find something. But I don’t think this is the first time you’ve taken me to a dungeon on purpose to find something. Do you not have to find it quickly?”

“It’s not something you can do completely leisurely, but…….”

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had set down the coffee cup on the table, stretched his arm over the back of the chair and loosely hugged In Yoo-shin’s shoulder. It felt like a small electric current was spurting from his fingertips as he slowly tapped his shoulder like a keyboard. In Yoo-shin concentrated on the taste of the coffee and rolled the cold ice cube in his mouth.

"I just don't want to waste my time with you trying to find it."

“If I just find it, will everything be over?”

“……”

When Hyeon Gyu-ha suddenly shut his mouth, In Yoo-shin immediately took a step back.

“If it’s a difficult question to talk about, you don’t have to answer.”

“No, that’s not it……. I was just trying to think of a way to explain it.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had completely let go of the half-empty coffee cup, leaned back deeply against the back of the chair. His expression, which had stopped the conversation, was somewhat worried, but what came to mind was not hesitation.

“You believe in parallel worlds, right, Yoo-shin-ssi?”

“I’m not sure, but I think something like that might exist.”

"When I talked to Park Seung-gi during the dungeon training, the reason I was convinced that the dungeon was set in a parallel world was simple. My mother's unique ability was to travel between parallel worlds."

The tone was so calm, as if he was reporting on what happened that day, that In Yoo-shin nodded and said, “I see,” and then belatedly understood what he meant.

“Parallel worlds? Was that possible? Ah, I’m not doubting you, Gyu-ha-ssi, but it’s just such an unexpected statement.”

“It’s okay to be doubtful. If another guy had told me the same thing, I would have taken him to a mental hospital.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha said somewhat cynically, wiping his lips.

“I was able to understand history and culture by only seeing fragments of the world realized as illusions in the dungeon because I read the records left by my mother. My mother was always traveling the world because she was fascinated by the countless parallel worlds like grains of sand on the beach.”

"So what you said about having a wanderlust is………………."

“Yes. It was a wanderlust on a scale that transcended the world.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha explained that when you go from Seoul in a parallel world called A to a parallel world called B, you arrive at Seoul. Even though it is the same place in the same time zone, the civilizations that unfold there are both similar and completely different.

Seoul, which is the same as the Seoul he knew, but where oracles come down and the eyes of the gods can be felt everywhere. Seoul where a nine-tailed fox rules as president for life. Seoul where the terraforming of Mars has been successful. Seoul where airships fly in the sky. Namgyeong where Joseon and the Republic of Korea do not exist. The Hanseong of the Korean Empire. A forgotten city in the wilderness that has declined and fallen, and whose name does not even remain. A city submerged in flooded rivers and seas.

Even though he was isolated from his single mother, he couldn't help but be fascinated by Hyeon So-ra.

“My mother, having learned this through a manshin in a world where she coexists with gods, says that the gods refer to this world right here where Yoo-shin-ssi was born and lives as the 'Iron Age'.”

“The Iron Age in Greek mythology (one of the five ages of mankind. Mentioned in a poem by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, the Iron Age is the age when all the gods abandoned humans.)?”

"I don't know if the gods created the name first and passed it on, or if the gods accepted the name established by humans, but it seems pretty plausible, doesn't it?"

“Ah, then Gyu-ha-ssi’s hidden attribute is……”

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had read In Yoo-shin’s hesitation, nodded lightly. He opened the status window and checked again.

[Hidden Attributes]

vampire traits

A hybrid of the Iron Age and ®ÀÇ

- The king's illegitimate son

“In the world called ®ÀÇ, my mother met my father and became pregnant with me. My father is a Romanian from ®AÇ, not from this world. Well, if it weren’t for the fact that Romania and Serbia are united like this world, he could have been Serbian.”

“…….”

Hyeon Gyu-ha burst into laughter when he saw In Yoo-shin, who couldn't even control his surprised expression.

“If I were really crazy, I’d go to a mental hospital on my own two feet, so you don’t have to look at me like a scared rabbit.”

“N-no, I don’t think you’re crazy at all! I’m just, no, surprised…….”

As he was responding flusteredly, he came to his senses a bit more. Hyeon Gyu-ha joked to him as he was trying to calm his pounding heart.

“Just because it’s mixed with genes from another world, it won’t suddenly turn into a monster and start eating you. In another sense, I would like to eat you.”

“Ugh, you just slyly sexually harassed me again.”(ET:😰)

“Isn’t there a parallel universe somewhere where Master orders us to catch and feed?”

When I heard his response, which seemed to be genuinely sorry, I felt as if I had committed a sin.

'I think Gyu-ha-ssi from the parallel world would be just like Gyu-ha-ssi.’

I wonder if he met him there too. I don't know.

“My hidden trait also has broken letters. Does it have something to do with the world that Gyu-ha mentioned?”

“To be exact, it’s tied with one of my traits, ̵i±Ï……. I don’t know why it manifested in Yoo-shin-ssi. I’m not trying to hide it, I really don’t know. I thought Yoo-shin-ssi’s trait, س¼Îð, would be possessed by someone with ®ÀÇ.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha tapped his chin, looked thoughtful for a moment, and then continued speaking.

“Just in case, don’t tell anyone else about Yoo-shin-ssi’s special trait. It’s a trait that isn’t needed in this world anyway.”

Then he lightly lightened the mood.

“Anyway, what I’m looking for, to put it simply, is the key to ®ÀÇ.”

“Is your father there?”

“I hope he’s not dead. But I’m not going to ®ÀÇ to see my father, whose face I don’t even know. My missing mother might be there.”

As he said that, Hyeon Gyu-ha moved his lips, revealing a strange emotion that seemed to be either a laugh or a sigh.

“There are many reasons why I have to go to ®ÀÇ, but the goal I think of is my mother. Isn’t it funny that at this age, I’m still chasing after my mother, who I separated from when I was young?”

"………………no."

In Yoo-shin shrugged his shoulders slightly.

“If I had the chance to see my mother again, I would have searched for her like Gyu-ha-ssi did.”

“Yoo-shin-ssi’s mother and my mother are very different people.”

The smile that appeared on Hyeon Gyu-ha's lips again was a clear cynicism.

“I don’t know whether I like my mother, resent her, miss her, or don’t want to see her anymore. But I feel like I have to tell her that my grandmother passed away. That’s what I think now. Is there anything else you’re curious about?”

Honestly, a lot. Unlike before, he will answer whatever you ask him. But are you ready to hear the answer?

In Yoo-shin quietly lowered his face. Hyeon Gyu-ha also nodded without holding on any longer.

“Okay, that’s it for today’s Hyeon Gyu-ha time. Please look forward to the next time. Now, I’d like to have some In Yoo-shin time.”

“Oh, me? Is there something you want to ask me?”

“I don’t have the talent for beating around the bush, so I’ll get straight to the point, so I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
