These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

“As expected, the guard is too much.”

Song Cha-hyun spoke calmly without showing any signs of displeasure. Rather, she even acted naturally as if she knew that Kang Yoo-hyun would do that in advance. It seemed like I was the only one who was dumbfounded.

“Hey, you, what did you…”

“Back off.”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who spoke curtly, pushed me away. Then Eden and Kang-Soo Hyun, who had followed me, stuck even closer to me. I was sandwiched between them and just blinked my eyes.

“Don’t do anything stupid, guildmaster Song Cha-hyun.”

“…”

An invisible force suddenly invaded the scene, making the air feel heavy. That was because the SS-class and S-classes were engaged in a battle of nerves. The atmosphere was tense.

“… Well, I didn’t want to bump into you from the beginning either.”

Song Cha-hyun, who spread her arms, stepped back a little. It resembled a trainer’s gesture to reassure a beast.

“There will be another chance.”

“…!”

Song Cha-hyun looked at me, who was behind Kang Yoo-hyun, and smiled. For some reason, her gaze was so intense that my body trembled for a moment. Unknowingly, I hugged Yong-sik tightly, and a growl came out of Yong-sik’s mouth.

“Krrr…”

“Then shall I guide you around the ship? Guests from the Odin guild.”

Song Cha-hyun seemed to be fine and completely unaffected even though she received wary glances. I remembered that her character image depicted in the novel was quite brazen. She had a thick-skinned personality on the outside, so she seemed to get along well with other guild masters.

However, her gaze toward me was somewhat uneasy. Come to think of it, it was strange that she greeted me first even though Kang Yoo-hyun was next to me. It was also suspicious that she was being nice to me even though she wasn’t that kind of person.

When I looked at her in surprise, Song Cha-hyun’s smile deepened. Then she turned around and called someone.

“Yul-ah.”

“Yes, unnie.”

When Song Cha-hyun called, a woman with a cold expression approached us. She opened her mouth with an indifferent look.

“My name is Song-Yul, I am the vice-master of the Freya Guild. Please come this way.”

“…”

Song-Yul turned around without greeting us. Her reaction was completely different from that of Song Cha-hyun..

But I could understand. Song-Yul, the vice-master of the Freya Guild as described in the novel, was quite a blunt person. In addition, she didn’t like to cooperate with non-guild members, so she treated Sung Yoo-bin and Kang Yoo-hyun, who had something between them, especially coldly.

So we obediently followed Song-Yul. The passageway in the ship was narrow, and people were busily walking back and forth through it. 

Apparently Kang Yoo-hyun was a celebrity, so people who recognized him kept glancing at him.

“First of all, please stay in this room until the ship departs. There will be a briefing after the departure, so please gather on the deck when the broadcast comes out.”

“Understood.”

“If you need anything else, just use that to call for someone.”

There was a receiver hanging on the wall that Song-Yul pointed to. The handset seemed to be an item that could possibly be used for long-distance communication, the closer one gets to a dungeon entrance, the more severe the radio interference, ordinary telephones also become unusable.

The item looked a little shoddy, probably because it was placed on a ship that was sailing for only a few hours. I nodded gently as I looked at the crude-looking phone that mimicked a walkie-talkie from the army.

“I got it.”

“…”

Song-Yul looked at me without saying anything, bowed her head, and went outside. After that, I sighed and looked around the room.

Since we were going by ship, I thought I would be stuck in a chair like I was on a cruise ship on the Han River, but I didn’t know there would be such a luxurious private room.

Originally, it was a ship meant for long-distance travel, the cabin was equipped with a single bed. I turned my head toward the door, thinking it was quite spacious for myself.

“…?”

I then asked, looking at the three people blocking the door.

“Why aren’t you guys leaving?”

Kang Yoo-hyun, Kang Soo-hyun, and Eden were gathered in the guest room with seemingly no intention of leaving. I felt stuffy as the sturdy men crowded into the already cramped single room.

As I frowned, Eden approached me with a smile.

“How can I leave you alone, Yi-jin-ah?”

“This is a single room”

“It’s okay. You and I are one.”

“Are you going to keep talking bullshit?”

“…Kreung.”

Yong-sik, who snorted on my behalf, climbed onto the bed, rolled around and finally laid down. It seemed that Yong-sik had finished sorting out the ranks around him.

Of course, Eden, who was an A-class, was not a threat to Yong-sik. Perhaps that’s why Yong-sik secretly treated Eden as an invisible person.

“That ugly reptile bastard…”

“What did you just say?”

“I didn’t say anything. Yi Jin-ah.”

I glared at Eden’s smiling face and turned my head away. These guys are going to stay in my room?

I was about to say something to those Kang siblings, too, but at that moment there was an announcement that the ship had set sail.

[Attention, dear passengers on board the Victory Ferry. The Victory is scheduled to leave Wangsan Port soon and return to the port near the entrance of the Sæ dungeon. Passengers on board, please…]

The takeoff occurred much earlier than expected. As soon as the broadcast was over, the ship horn rang long.

However, perhaps because the ship was so big, it didn’t feel too shaky. I glanced out the window and saw the port was gradually getting further away.

“Oh!”

“Kkyau!”

Yong-sik and I were so excited that we stuck close to the window. We didn’t care about the uninvited guests who had somehow invaded our cabin.

It felt like we were on a cruise trip. Though that was a very optimistic thought to have for someone who’d be entering a dungeon soon.

“By the way, are they not giving us food?”

“Kkya!”

Yong-sik raised his voice as if he was responding to what I said. The ship gradually sailed further away from the land, and an endless sea spread out outside the window. I thought Yong-sik would be afraid of the unfamiliar environment, but he was suddenly happy and excited.

“I’m getting hungry…”

“Yi Jin-ah, you ate three tacos before you came here.”

“Ah…”

Eden’s words reminded me of the breakfast I ate before leaving the accommodation earlier. I just ate tacos with lots of hot chili sauce, but did I eat three tacos? I don’t really remember.

“Really? I don’t think I ate three.”

“…”

When I tilted my head, Eden’s gaze became strange. He looked at me and opened his mouth.

“But you….”

[Attention all passengers in the cabins, this is an announcement for hunter passengers. All hunters, please assemble on the deck immediately. I’ll repeat it again…]

At that moment, the broadcast that Song-Yul was talking about sounded throughout the cabin. I turned to Eden who was about to say something.

“What were you going to say?”

“… No, it’s nothing.”

“…?”

I looked askance at Eden, who shook his head, and Kang Soo-hyun approached me and grabbed me.

“Hyung! Let’s go.”

“Uh? Yeah, let’s go.”

“Kkyau, kkya!”

“Don’t push, you guys.”

Eden had a somewhat dark expression on his face, but it was more important to go to the deck. I’ll have to ask Eden later what he was going to say.

With that in mind, I went up to the deck, and there were more people present for the raid than I thought. Are these all hunters who are going to raid the dungeon? I looked around with surprise and found something strange.

“…”

“…”

It was obvious at a glance what the peculiarity was, this was where the Freya Guild’s dungeon attack personnel were gathered. Moreover, the Freya Guild only accepts women as guild members. As a result, there were only women around, and we were the only men.

‘It’ was just like this current ship, floating alone in the ocean.

“Kkyauu, kkyau…”

On top of that, Yong-sik, who saw many unfamiliar people, immediately expressed his anxiety. Yong-sik, who had been sticking his head out while looking at the sea, shrank his neck and rolled his eyes. He didn’t seem to know where to look when there were so many people he had to watch out for.

“Yong-sik, shh… Focus on your dad.”

“Kkyau, kku…”

I made eye contact with Yong-sik, just like Hae Song-ha had taught me. For a summoned beast, the master is absolute. In particular, I was the first to see Yong-sik when he was just born and he first saw me. Consequently, Yong-sik recognized me as his parent the same day.

Dragons have instinctive destructive tendencies from birth. And They absolutely hate having someone on their turf. It would be extremely stressful for Yong-sik, who has this instinct, to live with other people.

“Yong-sik, sh… shhh. Dad is by your side, okay?”

“Kkyuuu…”

After I calmly repeated it to reassure him, Yong-sik half-opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. He looked more stable than before.

“Oh dear, I’m proud of you, my Yong-sik. You have to be quiet here. Okay?”

“Kkyau, kkyauu.”

“Good boy. Good boy.”

Yong-sik’s eyes became rounded as I continued to praise him. As I patted his head, someone called my name.

“Hunter Han Yi-jin-nim!”

“Oh?”

When I turned my head, I saw Hae Song-ha approaching me with a smile and a blushing face. But when he saw the guys around me, he was surprised, and stopped approaching me. I had no choice but to approach him and talk to him.

“Hello, teacher.”

“H–he–hello.”

“Yong-sik, you should say hello too.”

“Kkyuuu.”

Still, Hae Song-ha pretended to know Yong-sik that he had seen for the first time the other day. Yong-sik seemed to be quite pleased with Hae Song-ha, he stretched out his neck and started flapping his wings.

“Haha, I’m glad that Yong-sik’s condition looks better than I expected. I was very worried too…”

“I know right. I guess it’s because the teacher’s teaching is excellent.”

“Um, the word ‘teacher’ is a bit…”

Hae Song-ha, who was blushing, waved his hand. I wanted to tease him some more, but I stopped because I thought it would make the timid Hae Song-ha suffer too much.

“I understand. Hunter Hae Song-ha.”

“Haa….”

Hae Song-ha breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oppa!”

“…Oppa?”

I heard a coy voice and a woman walked up to us. I looked at her and my eyes widened.

“Uh…”

She was quite tall even though she was a woman. I thought she might be over 190cm, seeing that she was bigger than me.

She reiterated what she said before while looking at Hae Song-ha, who was nearly 160cm tall.

“Song-ha oppa.”
