Chapter 121: Darkness Of The First Hunter Union (1)
Hunter's days in the union were no longer the sa.
It wasn't just because he returned ho with two girlfriends whose honeymoon moods were sotis at odds, resulting in their happy phase abating over ti. He was now quite rich as Aie used her family to sell Susan Valkoch stuff. His money was so significant that he could live for a long ti without worries about the apartnt's rent.
Getting hands on better equipnt was also not a problem.
It also ant Hunter could take his girlfriends around the union and their neighborhood, having dates that he either had been planning for a long ti or unexpected ones where his girlfriends snatched him out.
His team also received so recognition. They were the ones to survive the monster tide, and that much was an amazing feat itself, as too many monsters had been set free that day. A lot of newbie lives were gone in that stampede, so survivors like Hunter were held in high regard.
Despite having a lot of money and things to do, missions weren't a foreign concept for Hunter, either.
He had a slight suspicion that his team might end up in so similar shit like demons' sches, but the low-ranked missions(the only stuff Hunter's team was eligible for) were like they were supposed to be. Nothing abnormal had happened on all ten missions that Hunter and his teammates had successfully cleared.
They stood true to themselves and had a lot of fun, all because Hunter abided by his rules, mapping out the territory and using his traps to enjoy the hunts.
Back ho, Hunter had a lot of experints with the witches. Before delving into their experiences, it had to be ntioned that the black and white mother-daughter witch duo had beco quite famous after that one shaful incident, which was only really shaful for Mayun.
Since it was a female-dominated world, a lot of won ca to tease Mayun. Her mother, Alice, also received so witty remarks from old won, but she fared much better than her daughter, whose cheeks seed to take a permanent shade of crimson.
This she used to her advantage as she ran into Hunter whenever she could, calling him Black Prince and asking for a hug and understanding. It wasn't really love, possibly due to Hunter not making any moves at Mayun. He hadn't shown any intimate interest in her, and he didn't even think of cuddling with her as anything sensual, as she was always the one to barge into his chest and embrace him like… a daughter.
They were the sa age, so one could think that Hunter would be interested in having a peer girlfriend, but his tastes always reminded themselves whenever he saw Alice and Mayun together. If he had to pick either of them, ten out of ten choices would be the forr.
Speaking of the black witch, she was also growing more accustod to having a man close to her side. It reminded her of her husband, who was already gone because of a sickness. In a way, he had been more of a mortal than the majority of villages. Hunter's treatnt of Mayun also instilled more ambiguous desires within the black witch.
But no one had ever made a move in this direction, and they only focused on digging into the mysteries of mana. Hunter was like a library of mysteries. No, for Alice, his blood was so mysterious that, at tis, she wished to be a vampire—sothing Hunter could actually help her with.
It was hard to make a skill book exclusive only for him because of his high-quality mana, which was in a form no one from this mortal world had ever tinkered with. But because the witches used cauldron and used water to make potions and other various drinks for people to learn skills differently, there was so success in this field already.
Although Hunter couldn't learn anything helpful, he managed to learn a fashion skill. Now, he could turn the color of his nails into whichever he wanted! His pale hands looked quite cool with black, purple, and red nails, and those colors were indeed acknowledged by his girlfriends and the witches.
Aie also said that he could try golden. That seemingly innocent request had turned into sothing more important later on, as the won of Hunter's family could 'tell' with whom he wished to spend ti. During their breakfast, his right hand had golden nails and left crimson, then depending on his mood, those nails changed colors to reflect either the color of his girlfriend's hair, taking them for a date, or just a casual walk to the shop.
Seraphina once jested that it ant Hunter could only get up to ten girlfriends, then he laughed and declared that he also could paint his nails on the toes! The wild beast of a clingy girlfriend had sucked him dry later that day.
At last, it seed that the pleasant and chilling days were about to be over.
[You have received an invitation to the Darkness Guild.]
That was the ssage Hunter and his two teammates had received.

Thinking about it more thoroughly, Hunter was quite surprised about his calmness.
He was about to et the boss and probably her close companions who had changed his life. Those three won were the ones to pull him out of the mundane villager life. There was, of course, a chance Hunter would have awakened his immortality alone and independently road the world.
Alas, without his knowledge about the world, he might have suffered more than even the current him could imagine, and there was a high chance he would be trapped like Mayun and others used to be in the demon's domain. No one knew really what could have happened had Hunter's life gone on a different path.
Still, those three beautiful won had given him a fresh and good start. It was because of them that Hunter had t Aie on his path to the yearly exam, so he was feeling excited to repay them for their help.
His excitent, however, was held at bay by his calmness.
"Yes, I'm surprised you are walking with a straight face," Aie comnted after Hunter had voiced out his thoughts. "Mayun had said you turned into a simp for her mother, yet you don't seem to be in this state now. It might be because you have yet to see them."
Hunter awkwardly coughed, "There's a lot to work with Alice, you know."
"Oh, Alice? Already on a first-na basis without any honorifics?" Aie sneered.
Seraphina added, "So orange is about to co up on his nails?"
"Prolly," Aie informally replied.
Since there was nothing these two could do about their beloved's intimate voyages, the current girlfriends casually talked about the potential third mber of Hunter's harem while en route to the Darkness Guild. Of course, if his numbers grew so big that it was a simple lust, Seraphina and Aie would be the first ones to knock so sense into his head.
Hunter listened to them with a troubled expression. If he were to voice his thoughts, he would have told them that he was quite more excited to et with Miss Charlotte than to join the guild. It wasn't like he had to join the boss' side to repay for her help, right?
But perhaps his girlfriend was right. If he were to see Celestia again, there was a chance he would revert back to his old self again.
Soon, Hunter and his teammate entered the guild's territory. Every guild had its own space, and it would be rude for any newbie or guildless hunter without an invitation to step on it. It didn't seem it was protected, but perhaps every guild had its own ans to know who had touched their boundaries.
Depending on the guild's rules, those uninvited could either lose their lives or be lucky enough to return unscathed ho.
At last, Hunter t a woman of the guild. She seed to be on the watch as she jumped off the tree and heavily landed before them, her fra causing cracks to ripple in the ground. She soundlessly confird Hunter's invitation, then invited his team to the main building.
In that building, Hunter entered the boss' office.
Just like he had imagined upon hearing stories about her side job, an accountant, the boss followed the old thod of storing the information and calculating the inco, for her office was strewn with piles of papers. If it weren't for the black-golden-haired woman standing behind her, there would be no room to move in it.
The boss smiled, "You've grown stronger, Hunter."
"Thank you, the boss. You're as beautiful as ever!" Hunter replied in the old style. However, his feelings were much different than before. Perhaps Celestia had noticed it as she simply replied with a smile.
She surveyed Aie and Seraphina, then nodded with acknowledgnt.
"It appears three of you are indeed interested in joining my ranks," Celestia comnted, starting the important talk.
