I Tamed the First Rank Chapter 8

“Uh, here? Isn’t the door broken too?”

“So what?”

“The door will be broken, and some wind will come in…”

“So what?”

“I live alone, so I don’t have a place to sleep…”

“So what?”

“It’s nothing………….”

Hyeon Gyu-ha shrugged.

“That’s why I have to stand guard so that Master can have a good night’s sleep. I’ll call someone I know to fix the front door tomorrow morning.”

“Yes…”

On top of that, he couldn’t bear to say that he was planning to sleep in a motel.

“Before that.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha turned on the light in the room.

“Let’s eat some late-night snacks first. I’m hungry because I’m relieved to know that you wouldn’t just skip that.”

Late night snacks were chicken and beer. He thought he had no appetite, but he skipped dinner and the smell of the fragrant chicken made his mouth water.

While In Yoo-shin was pouring beer at the table that was used as a table and desk, Hyeon Gyu-ha moved all the chicken legs and chicken wings in front of In Yoo-shin.

“Gyu-ha-ssi, Don’t you like chicken legs?”

“I like it the most.”

“But why.......”

“You have to eat something delicious, Master. I’ll eat a lot of meat.”

“.......”

In fact, In Yoo-shin liked the breast meat, but he didn’t say anything because he was out of focus and just ate the chicken leg. Even so, chewing the chewy flesh was delicious. At the orphanage, he didn’t choose chicken legs or breasts, but after two years, his appetite became extravagant.

“Is the hamster in that cage Henry Raymond Charles Francois VI?”

“.......I just call her 6-se.”

Hearing the childishly brilliant name Henri Raymond Charles Francois through voice, the speaking Hyeon Gyu-ha seemed calm, but for some reason he felt ashamed of himself.

“So, he’s my Hyung.”

“6-se is a female.”

“It would be my Nuna. But why did you give a female name a male name?”

“It’s because I kept putting the name of the hamster I raised for the first time. At the age of 5, that name sounds cool.”

He took all the names that he thought were cool and attached them, and it looked like this.

“Ah, by the way. I can change the name, but I’ll also change the name of 7-se to its original name, Gyu-ha-ssi.”

“You can leave it alone. There’s nothing inconvenient except that when I type my name or when I sign, my hand automatically writes Henry Raymond de Charles Francoise VII.”

“But it’s rather an embarrassing name.”

“What? It’s cool though?”

“......”

Yes, well. I think Henry Raymond de Charles Francois is cooler than Gap-sik...……….

“By the way, does the orphanage let you raise hamsters?”

“Ah, that’s…”

He suddenly felt like he was chewing sand on the chicken leg that I had been eating. Shall I cover it up with a lie? It’s not that I didn’t think so.

However, he thought that it was too shameless to even lie to him who was in trouble because he was tamed by him.

“Because it was when I was adopted.”

And it was dissolved.

In Yoo-shin lowered his head and munched his chicken while avoiding his gaze. He was adopted, but if you ask him why he kept growing up in an orphanage, he would have no answer, but Hyeon Gyu-ha didn’t gossip.

“Would you like to mix some beer with Coke?”

“Uh, is it delicious to drink like that?”

“It is mixed with sweet, carbonated water, and of course it is delicious.”

Using his current psychokinesis ability, he demonstrated a phenomenal technique of mixing cola and beer without spilling a single drop, and the beer, which was mixed with cola to make a sweet cocktail, was unbelievably delicious.

“I can sleep on the bare floor…

“As I cleared dungeons, I got used to staying up late and staying up all night.”

“But, Gyu-ha-ssi is my guest.”

“Master should sleep comfortably rather than the grandson. This rat bastard will just crouch in the corner.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha insisted on In Yoo-shin, who was trying to yield the only mattress he had and forced him to lie down. The word ‘Master’ worked quite well for him.

He seemed to be trying to stay awake, but soon came the sound of even breathing. As soon as he realized that he wasn’t answering the phone, his heart raced like crazy, and he was overcome with extreme despair and depression. And now, by his side, feeling his breathing and his movements, he felt an infinite sense of security.

This feeling of having your emotions controlled by others is very unpleasant.

The old residential area in the middle of the night, where even the hamsters that used to spin the treadmill are calm. He heard a car passing by occasionally, and he called out.

“Yoo-shin-ssi.”

“6-seya…………. Don’t run away.”

Although he may laugh at the murmuring sleep talk, Hyeon Gyu-ha’s indifferent expression, sunk in the darkness, remains the same.

Hyeon Gyu-ha first attacked the gate at the age of 9. If killing a demon is also called killing, Hyeon Gyu-ha then had blood on his hands for the first time. It was scary. But he had nowhere to run for a boy who was a child younger than him on his back, he was only three years old.

And the first murder.

‘Oh, the hidden attribute is a vampire? That’s kinda cool?>

The most trusted person.

He squeezed and opened his half-gloved hand several times. Clear. Stretches his arms. Close. A slender neck would be easily caught by his brawny grasp. 1 second is enough. Grabbing his neck and twisting it, breaking it, is an easy task.

However, Hyeon Gyu-ha sees his hand, which had no abnormality, suddenly begin to twitch. At a distance where he can feel the warmth of his neck as he inhales and exhales evenly, his reason loses terribly to the instinct of a tamed beast.

He realizes once again that he will never be able to kill In Yoo-shin or his øia.

“:ið”

Try pronouncing the words. There is a crackling noise in the language that is not recognized in this world.

Hyeon Gyu-ha was very appalled.

“...Really, somehow, it suddenly popped out.”

It’s not like the system gave an absurd excuse that bats are also rats, and he was annoyed that he couldn’t guess why they were being tamed. I don’t think that works.

“I don’t know who did what, but I’ll take care of my own business, so get out of my life. I don’t need 1%.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha chewed out an unreachable swear word and sat with his back against the wall near the entrance where the broken door was roughly hung.

The dark room is as silent as death. Hyeon Gyu-ha’s past life and future life is a fall to a single point that touches death. Being bumped into, shaved off, worn out, and accustomed to slaughter, the pole of the road ahead is the end of the perishing world.

No one will intervene in the journey of the road. Even if it is his only mate, 100 id.

He’ll single-handedly tear down the city the king has completed.

***

When In Yoo-shin saw the person Hyeon Gyu-ha had called in to fix the front door, he thought he was taking a sneak peek. He thought he was a repairman because he said, ‘someone I knew’, but it was Kwon Seong-gil, a blacksmith with a world reputation.

“You must be the owner who you were talking so loudly yesterday?”

In Yoo-shin, who was gaping at the generous greeting of a tall middle-aged man, hurriedly came to his senses.

“Hey, nice to meet you! My name’s In Yoo-shin! It is an honor to meet Kwon Seong-gil!”

“When I first met you, you just lied about never calling me. Isn’t that too discriminatory?”

“Man, isn’t this the difference in popularity?”

Kwon Seong-gil laughed and patted Hyeon Gyu-ha on the back.

In Yoo-shin suddenly began to regret the fact that Blacksmith, who was no different from a living legend, came to fix the front door. Wouldn’t it be better to buy a new door and put it on, and keep the front door that Kwon Seong-gil was working on somewhere else?

Next to In Yoo-shin, who knelt down to his knees and reverently admired Kwon Seong-gil’s work, Hyeon Gyu-ha let out an absurd laugh.

“I’m sorry that you can even take a rest even though it’s the weekend.”

“Uh-uh, it’s alright. I don’t mind. I’m sure that Hyeon Gyu-ha must have broken it. I’m going to rip off him on a budget, even the travel expenses.”

“No one respects you as much as I do, so I will call you Hyung.”

“Hey man, In Yoo-shin is misunderstanding something! Tell him straight away that they are procuring rare minerals from dungeons! Ah, can I call you Yoo-shin comfortably?”

“I’m grateful!”

Hyeon Gyu-ha slightly rolled his eyes at In Yoo-sin’s reply, who was caught in a corner.

“I should have used the Awakening ability for production.”

“It’s not like that, a few years ago with the kids, there was a time when I went to an amusement park with a monk and the gate suddenly opened. She almost died, but thanks to the disposable shield core the monk had, she was able to hold out until the hunters arrived.”

“Oh, was that shield core made by me?”

“I heard that you made it for experimentation and shared it with others, and the monk received one of them.”

Kwon Seong-gil rubbed the bottom of his nose at In Yoo-shin’s sparkling eyes, smiling shyly but happily. It was exceedingly rare for Kwon Seong-gil, who did not go to the field to deal with the beasts himself, to hear an honest thank you from the general public.

Repairing the hinge was soon over. Kwon Seong-gil, who used Hyeon Gyu-ha’s psychokinesis as labor force and fixed it to the door frame, knocked the door a little more with several reagents and materials.

Perhaps thanks to that, he became a bit emotional due to such an item.

[The aluminum front door repaired by Awakener Kwon Seong-gil]

“I looked at my hands a little more because it was empty to attach only the door. It has basic alarms, so if someone tries to force the door open, they’ll get an electric shock. Even if it wasn’t just a house where you live on a monthly rent, it also refines the aesthetics. It sucks.”

“Thank you, Kwon Seong-gil-nim!”

“You can call me Hyung.”

In Yoo-shin, who grew up as an orphan and was weak at calling people ‘Hyung,’ laughed shyly. And the expression of the man, who was 6 years older than him, became subtle, after seeing that.

“Are you awakened?”

“I’m, but it’s not a big deal, so I don’t have a hunter license.”

“All you need is mana.”

Kwon Seong-gil made him put his hand on the doorknob.

“If it recognizes your mana pattern here, you should be able to open the door without pressing the door lock. Wouldn’t that be more convenient than fingerprint registration?”

“I– but I’ve never injected mana before…”

“I’ll help you.”

Before Kwon Seong-gil could give advice, Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had just jumped in, stretched out his arm. Stretching out his arms from behind, he put his hand on the back of his hand, and his back touched his chest, and a dark shadow fell over his head. An unfamiliar presence enveloped Yoo-shin.

[Current Status: Murderous. Interesting, Feeling a bit strange.]

Hyeon Gyu-ha covered the back of In Yoo-shin’s hesitant hand, feeling that he was being embraced by his well-trained broad chest. It was a big, warm hand.

“I’ll lead the mana, so remember it. You never know if you’ll need to inject mana patterns next time.”

His chest felt ticklish. In Yoo-shin shook off his thoughts and carefully moved mana as Hyeon Gyu-ha led him. Because he was so focused on that, he didn’t realize that his mana was being injected into the common artifact in the shape of a crow floating in the air behind the door.

Kwon Seong-gil, realizing the authenticity of the action a beat late, stuck out his tongue.

“Well, I’m not in a position to meddle in other people’s relationships but look at what that sneaky guy is doing. Hey, this punk. That skill is...………. Ugh.”

“What? Did Gyu-ha do something?”
