The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 9.2

The man before him was definitely the mad dog Siwoo.

That oppressive aura, the chilling energy that only a 1st generation Hunter could emit. Plus, the leisurely and cold gaze.

It felt as if he were facing the Siwoo of that time, as if he had traveled back over a decade.

‘𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. . .?’

And the most important fact was that Siwoo had disappeared.

The fierce battle with the 4th realm Demon King.

Siwoo and his disciples had fought together and barely won, but he had disappeared from ‘this world’ due to the opponent’s technique.

That was the official story that had been revealed.

“S-Sir Hunter Siwoo.”

“What?”

Gulp.

Hwang Jeong-gu felt his mouth go dry.

How could he ask politely without offending him?

The sight of Hunters from the past who had provoked the mad dog and ended up as bloody messes flashed through his mind.

“D-Don’t be angry. I’m j, j, just curious, so p, please don’t be o, o, offended━”

“Hey.”

“Y-Yes!”

“Shut up and just talk.”

Siwoo clicked his tongue.

He wasn’t cooking rice in a pot, but he was sighing as if he was frustrated with all the pointless hesitation.

However, Hwang Jeong-gu fell into a state of confusion when he heard Siwoo’s nagging.

Tell him to shut up and talk??

Was he telling him to shut up or to talk?

As he hesitated, Siwoo’s nagging came again.

“I said talk.”

“Oh, yes, yes! That’s一 I know you’re missing, but you suddenly showed up. And I’ve never heard of you returning. . .Where did you go and when did you come back?”

What an innocent question.

Siwoo scratched the back of his head.

He could tell instinctively that he was a good guy.

However, he didn’t want to tell him all the details of what had happened.

“Jeong-gu.”

“Yes? Yes!”

“I’m looking for someone.”

“Who are you. . . talking about?”

Who on earth could the person be that the so-called mad dog was looking for?

Hwang Jeong-gu whispered as if he didn’t want anyone else to hear.

‘𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙 𝙙𝙤𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣.’

“Well. I’ll have to look for him.”

“???”

Hwang Jeong-gu didn’t even realize what he was hearing.

How could he find someone he didn’t even know?

“So you’re going to help me from now on.”

“O-Of course! If Sir Hunter Siwoo orders me to, I will mobilize all my subordinates and do it right away!”

Hwang Jeong-gu answered without even thinking about it.

Anyway, Siwoo was now a member of this place.

Whether he liked it or not, he would see him every day from now on, and he didn’t want to provoke him unnecessarily.

“Oh, and.”

“Yes!!!”

“Where’s a good chicken place around here?”

“What???”

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

“Today, we have a new member joining HSIU, Siwoo. Please let him know everything he needs to know and treat him with respect as a senior. He was recommended by Hunter Lee Ye-ji, not through an open recruitment, so don’t be too jealous.”

“Yes. . . . . . . .???”

The team members were bewildered by Hwang Jeong-gu’s strange deference.

Of course, judging by his initial reaction, the new member Siwoo must be quite something.

They didn’t know what kind of relationship they had or what kind of past was intertwined, but no one would bother the new member, even if Hwang Jeong-gu didn’t tell them to.

“Jeong-gu.”

“T-That一 I’ve changed my name and it’s Jung-gu now.”

“. . . . . . . . . .”

“No! Please call me whatever you’re comfortable with!!”

Hwang Jeong-gu bowed his waist.

The team members were shocked by the ridiculous situation. However, none of them showed it.

They didn’t know what Hwang Jeong-gu might say later.

“Who here manages the database?”

“Oh, Kim Seung-ah is here. Kim Seung-ah!!”

“Y-Yes!”

Kim Seung-ah stopped looking at the computer and ran over at the sudden call.

“Find all the information and data that new member Sir Hunter Siwoo requests immediately. Consider it the most urgent task, even more important than Administrator Lee Ye-ji. Got it?”

“Yes?? I-I understand.”

Kim Seung-ah stared at Hwang Jeong-gu with a dumbfounded face before turning her head and looking at Siwoo, who was standing next to her.

Siwoo’s expression didn’t change no matter what Hwang Jeong-gu said.

He was completely bored and didn’t want to care about anything.

“Follow mㅡe.”

Kim Seung-ah spoke informally to the new member, then looked at Hwang Jeong-gu’s murderous gaze and changed to a more formal tone.

She went to her desk, pulled out a chair next to her, and offered it to Siwoo so he could sit down.

“What are you looking for?”

“Information on Hunters who have died in the past 20 years.”

“What??”

“What?”

Come to think of it, this guy was speaking informally as if it were natural.

However, Kim Seung-ah didn’t show any signs of being offended.

That was because Hwang Jeong-gu was glaring at Kim Seung-ah from a distance.

“That’s a huge amount of data, and we don’t have information on ordinary deaths, such as natural causes. We’d have to send a separate request to the Hunter Association.”

“Really? Correct that. Information on Hunters who have been ‘murdered’ in the past 20 years.”

“Oh! We can do that. Do you also include cases where they were killed by monsters?”
