The S-Classes That I Raised [EN]: Chapter 283

281. What I Saw Outside (3)

“Tell me in detail. Or, just let me contact the Amaterasu Guild and Tokyo.”

I’m worried about Myungwoo and the kids. Even if they can take refuge in the smithy, it will be difficult to react quickly if they are suddenly attacked by monsters. Myungwoo has little practical experience. And since I left Ppiyaki and Bellare with him, he wouldn’t have tried to escape alone.

I should have told him to go on more dungeon raids for experience. They have to be okay. If those guild guys don’t protect their guests properly, I’ll sink them all in the Pacific Ocean.

“I… contact is impossible.”

“Huh? You don’t have a cell phone?”

“The communication base station has been destroyed.”

Damn it. Well, it would be hard to keep it intact in this chaos.

“Doesn’t the radio work? What about a satellite phone?”

It took three hours to get here from Tokyo by helicopter. Even with Noah’s help, it would take about the same amount of time.

It’s not a long time, but I’m still anxious. I should check before I move, if possible, because it could be a wasted trip.

“Well, I have the equipment, but the battery…”

“Seong Hyunjae-nim!”

I quickly turned to Seong Hyunjae.

“I always hoped that if I were to be stranded on a desert island, it would be with Partner-nim! Electricity is the best!”

“Hyung! Me!”

“Mister, drinking water is essential!”

“I can get you out of here right away!”

“Huh? Why are you trying to follow me to a desert island? Why aren’t you at home enjoying the air conditioning? Noah-ssi too.”

Why go through unnecessary hardships? I’m just saying it anyway. I received a satellite phone from a Japanese hunter and handed it to Seong Hyunjae with care.

“This is the only one, so please take good care of it so it doesn’t break.”

“I think I said before that it wouldn’t be easy.”

“Doesn’t that mean you can do it? You should also check on the well-being of the head of the Seseong Guild.”

Just once, cool Seong Hyunjae-nim! Isn’t this something we’re doing for each other’s benefit anyway?

Seong Hyunjae, who received the satellite phone, checked the battery specifications. Then he began to charge it by delicately controlling his magic power. Honestly, he really is good at what he does.

While he was charging, I listened to the situation from the Japanese guard.

“So, monsters suddenly appeared around 10 a.m. today?”

“Yes, yes. I kept trying to contact the Amaterasu Guild, but I couldn’t get a detailed explanation. They also said that an SS-class monster appeared and they were trying to turn the monster’s path to the sea.”

Surely they’re not trying to send it to our country. He said that he ran away and asked for help, but the satellite phone battery ran out. So he installed barricades and trenches in a relatively visible place and was holding out.

‘How many hours did it take to get out of the Black Cow Forest dungeon? 10 a.m. would be about the time that jellyfish bastard interfered.’

It’s probably because of that, that damn jellyfish bastard.

“Have any new monsters appeared since then?”

“I’m not sure, but… I heard that monsters didn’t reappear in the areas where they were lured and driven away.”

It seems that the Changeling’s new shield was effective. I’m glad it ended in one go. If not, the world might have ended without us being able to do anything. I think Japan is already half ruined.

When the battery was charged to some extent, Seong Hyunjae handed me the satellite phone.

After expressing my sincere gratitude, I received the Amaterasu Guild number and contacted them. At first, the Amaterasu Guild member was indifferent, but when we revealed our identities, they were flustered.

[Yes! Hunter Yoo Myungwoo is safe. He has driven most of the monsters out of Tokyo.]

Driven out, not defeated. Then what about the people outside the capital? Surely they’re not just sending them out of Japan and ending it.

“The direction the monsters are being driven in is, of course, towards the Pacific Ocean, right?”

“Uh… depending on the situation…”

These guys, really. What are you mumbling about?

“Please connect me to the Korea Awakeners Management Office. The Ministry of Public Administration and Security.”

Before long, the call was connected to Korea, and then Song Taewon’s stiff voice was heard. Just hearing his voice made me picture his tired face.

“Director Song! It’s been a long time!”

[…You contacted me for confirmation just before entering the dungeon.]

“Even two days is a long time, you know.”

It felt like two weeks.

“How is the situation in Korea? Is everyone safe?”

[I can’t tell you the details over the phone, so I’ll tell you mainly what has already been announced. The grade of monsters appearing in Korea is B-grade on average, and they are being dealt with quickly. There is some damage, but it is less than expected considering the sudden situation.]

“That’s a relief.”

[Blue’s performance was especially great. His hunting speed is really fast.]

He must have been excited and running wild, our Blue. If the average monster is B-grade, it would have been a toy to Blue. With his incredible flying skills, he would have been able to hunt monsters faster than any S-class hunter in Korea.

[There is no damage to the Beast Care Center or the Haeyeon Guild.]

“Ah, did you take the baby sheep with you? How is he, cute, right?”

“…….”

“Director Song?”

[As a special note, Hunter Riette and Hunter Kang Soyoung have… trampled on the ○○○ Building and its surroundings.]

It was a tone that I didn’t know how to express. Trampled on. Did they transform into dragons and dance?

[There were no casualties because the evacuation was completed, but the Breaker Guild and the Seseong Guild were going to be held responsible for the excessive response. But Hunter Kang Soyoung said that she encouraged it and told them to only charge Seseong Guild for compensation. She said our Guild Leader would be fine.]

“Ah…….”

I don’t know the truth, but Soyoung-ssi is such a good person. Moon Hyuna is the one who temporarily recruited Riette, so Moon Hyuna must take responsibility. It wouldn’t be good to make such a mistake now that she’s trying to become independent. Still, for Seseong to take it all on…….

I glanced at Seong Hyunjae, thinking he must have heard everything I said, and he shrugged as if he couldn’t help it.

“Our Soyoung believes in me a little too much.”

“That’s right, she said she trusts Guild Leader Seseong’s face and abilities as much as iron. She said the rest should be sorted for recycling.”

Yerim said. Does the face count too? I guess it does.

“Director Song, what about the coastline? I mean, the East Sea side. I’m sure you’re worried about the West Sea coast too.”

After a moment of silence, Song Taewon replied.

[We plan to issue an evacuation order for the entire East Coast, depending on the situation.]

From that alone, I could guess what he thought of Japan. He was expecting Japan to not be able to handle the monsters pouring out and let them cross over to Korea.

A sigh came out of me. Judging from the fact that there was no mention of the West Coast, the monster grades in Japan must be high. I can’t just leave this alone, it’s going to be a pain. Of course, I won’t work for free.

“I was originally planning to return home right away, but I’ll have to stay for another day or so.”

[The Hunter Association wants at least Hunter Han Yoojin and Hunter Yoo Myungwoo to return home first. By ship, because planes are dangerous, under the protection of Hunter Park Yerim.]

“Ah, I have a phobia of ships because of the cruise explosion incident last time. I’m also allergic to seawater. Then, Director Song, please be sure to give my regards to our baby sheep. Be sure to. Buy him snacks too. Charge the snack money to the care center. You can also charge for transportation to and from the care center. You’re doing me a favor, so take a taxi. Should I buy you a souvenir? How about an S-class wire?”

[…I hope you return home safely.]

“Have you thought about a name for the baby sheep? If you can’t think of anything, I can, Director Song? Director Song?”

Oh, he hung up decisively. Is he busy? Of course, he’s busy. I finished the call and looked back at the group. They all heard me even if I didn’t tell them.

“Let’s go to Tokyo right away. Anyone want to go home first?”

“I’m worried about the kids, but it takes a long time to go by ship. It looks like planes won’t be flying either. Hyung-nim [older brother/term of endearment], please hurry.”

Moon Hyuna said with a worried expression. Song Taewon said there was no major damage, but she seemed concerned. There’s also the Riette issue.

Since we couldn’t use a car, train, or helicopter, we divided up and rode Peace and Noah. Fortunately, Peace had acquired a flying skill.

The Japanese hunters wanted to follow us, but what could we do? I told them that it wouldn’t take long to deal with the monsters, so they should hide well.

“Ahjussi [term for older man], there’s a herd of monsters over there.”

While flying towards Tokyo, Yerim pointed down and said. A group of monsters was seen running along the road. It wasn’t that there hadn’t been dungeon breaks before, but it was a strange sight.

A giant snake climbing an old apartment, a beast gnawing and rolling a bus like a toy, a black unicorn running through a ruined market street, stomping its hooves, and so on. It felt unreal again.

We were flying high in the sky, but there were still monsters attacking us. A few flying monsters appeared from the clouds and lunged at us with their beaks and teeth. Of course, they were soon charred black or frozen solid and fell to the ground.

Rumble, lightning struck and another large avian monster fell below. Only A-grade or lower monsters were seen so far. Of course, even that level of monster is a very threatening monster outside the dungeon. We have a bunch of S-grades, but that’s not normal.

Finding the tracks leading to Tokyo, I flew along them and calmly looked through my inventory again.

‘Fortunately, it will be easy to deal with.’

I just need to negotiate the compensation well. My inventory was full, but unfortunately, there weren’t many weapons or equipment. It was because I had given so much to Sigma.

Sigma’s inventory wasn’t empty, so I brought back a few items that were short on space, but they weren’t very good.

‘The Lynx series, except for the shoes, was given by a newbie, so I wonder if he’ll try to take it back.’

It was a shame to give away items that were easy to use regardless of stats. Even I, an F-grade, could unleash S-grade or higher attack power with just mana, a jacket that added to the stealth skill effect, and shoes that allowed me to walk on walls as if they were flat ground. All of them were so useful that I didn’t want to take them off. And gloves and a belt… huh?

‘…What, why are there two more?’

I wanted to take them out and check, but I needed realization points for that too. I can’t even earn points anymore, this is too much.

After encountering several more monsters, we arrived in Tokyo. The number of monsters that appeared was high due to the high population density, and the grade was also high, but it was more intact than I thought. Is it because there are so many S-class hunters?

The traces of battle left in various places were noticeable. Collapsed buildings, damaged roads, abandoned cars. Everyone had evacuated, and the streets were as quiet as a mouse.

“Monster!”

Then someone shouted. The non-Awakened must have evacuated, so is it a hunter? Yerim quickly used instant movement to approach the shouting hunter.

“It’s not a monster!”

“What?”

“Uh, I’m Hunter! We are Hunter! Korea!”

“Ah, that, Dragon!”

“Doragon? Yeah, yes!”

It seemed like they understood each other. It seemed like he was an Amaterasu Guild hunter, and he immediately contacted his guild. Before long, the Amaterasu Guild members appeared in droves.

“Shishio-nim is luring the SS-class monster to the beach. Please go to the hotel first.”

“I can solve this situation cleanly, so tell him to come right now.”

“…Yes?”

“If he doesn’t come running within an hour, I’ll just leave the country.”

Of course, I can’t actually do that. It would be a disaster if an S-class or higher monster crossed over to our country. It’s much better to deal with it in Japan. The Amaterasu Guild member nodded, flustered by my confident words.

“Yoojin-ah!”

When I returned to the hotel, Myungwoo greeted me happily. Bellare, as well as Ppiyaki, had returned safely.

“Are you okay, Myungwoo? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine. But Ppiyaki disappeared in the morning…….”

“Ah, he came to see me. He can even teleport inside the dungeon now.”

Myungwoo smiled in relief at my words. Then he quickly looked around.

“Are you going back to Korea right away? The atmosphere here is not good. The situation is serious, so you should be careful, Yoojin-ah.”

He lowered his voice and said that they might try to take me hostage.

“There are four S-class hunters here right now. They’ll never let you go.”

As Myungwoo said, Japan is in a situation where one high-level hunter is precious. Myungwoo told me that the airport was already blocked and the ships were stopped. He heard a lot of things.

“Don’t worry. I have a way to solve it well.”

“…You’re not going to do anything dangerous again, are you?”

“No. Ah, Eunhye got a new skill, so please take a look at it later.”

“A new skill?”

Myungwoo’s worried eyes were soon filled with curiosity. This guy likes this kind of thing too. But tentacles are not allowed, don’t add something like that.

“Hey, you guys over there. Did you contact Shishio-ssi?”

“Ah, I requested it. Please wait a moment.”

“And gather 100 hunters. Fast people.”

I’ll sweep away S-class or SS-class monsters in one go, cleanly. It’s a paid service that I give generously.
