“Hohoho.”
“……!!”
The only person who could laugh like that next to a ticking time bomb was, without a doubt, her. Neatly combed short hair and round glasses. An oversized jacket covering a sturdy build.
A middle-aged woman, reminiscent of a corporate executive presenting a new product.
Lee Sa-soon.
She appeared before us.
“Uh……”
When a situation changes too drastically, words don't come out right. Not just me, but all my comrades were unable to speak, their mouths just hanging open.
“Hello, everyone.”
In the end, it was Lee Sa-soon who spoke first. It was my first time seeing her in person, but no one here was unaware of her identity. Because her title was written on the Hunter license that every Hunter possessed.
Though it had been a while since she was active publicly, every Hunter knew her name. The problem was. Why was Lee Sa-soon, who should have been lying in a hospital bed, here?
Even I, who had been tipped off beforehand, was dumbfounded; the other members must have felt like they were dreaming.
“Hey. Cheon Hae-seon. Pinch my cheek.”
“Huh?”
“See if I’m dreaming right now, or if I’m dead and seeing things…… Ouch!”
Bi-soo tried to chop my neck with the side of her hand, and I dodged with an elegant movement.
“Weren’t you the one who told me to pinch you?”
