Miss? Whats wrong with you?
Whoa, haa.
Are you anemic? Please have a seat over here.
Kkyuuuu!
It was the sa as before. The ti I spent watching the vision through my grandmothers diary was only a fraction of a second in reality, and I snapped out of it as suddenly as if cold water had been poured over my head.
However, just because Ive been through it doesnt an I will get used to it. I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand and spoke.
Im fine, I was just dizzy for a mont . thank you.
I bowed repeatedly to Azalea and left the pawnshop. The sight Id just seen flashed before my eyes.
I saw Ki Yoohyun again through my grandmothers notebook. I could clearly see the words To my granddaughter, Rieul written on the first page. It was clear that she had left this notebook. But why did she show that? What did she want to do with it?
My mind was filled with questions, but I knew one thing for sure. My grandmother wasnt throwing random questions, she was giving a hint. When I thought of it that way, the vision I had just seen took on a whole new aning.
Theres got to be a way to make it not end as bitterly as it did before the regression. I just need to find it. Just as my life has changed completely after my regression, I believe that he too will be able to lead a different life.
Haa..
Kkyuuuu!
I pressed my hand firmly to my temple, and Li bounced all over its body as if to comfort . It looks very chubby and cute, but do not let that fool you.
[Find the right food for Li: (Incomplete)]
The sli was still refusing to eat, lost in its philosophical questions.
In the end, I returned without figuring out why this sli refused to eat. What else can I do?
Ring, ring. Just then, the vibrating sound of my phone interrupted my sprawling thoughts. I looked at the na on the screen, startled. Why was this person calling ? I answered the phone, puzzled.
Yes, hello. Yes, this is what?
***
Hul, aweso, its Hunter Choi Yichan!
Wow, I saw him, over here!
Ha hahaha hello.
The world always loves a challenger. This is especially true when its the strongest person who has never stepped down from the top spot since their awakening.
Choi Cedric, the previous challenger, abdicated his position with the disbandnt of C&L Corporation. In his place, Ki Youhyun made an appearance after he decided to stop living a life in the shadows.
Under these circumstances, its no wonder that the world has set its sights on Choi Yichan, who could be the new challenger. Moreover, his good looks, large body, and easy-going personality contrasted with Ki Yoohyuns.
As a result, Choi Yichan beca even more popular after Ki Yoohyuns identity was revealed.
However, Choi Yichan has a grim look on his face as he moderately responded to those who spoke to him before walking away.
Haaa.
It wasnt because of the latest paparazzi article.
It wasnt. It really had nothing to do with it.
Although he had no appetite the day the article ca out and only ate half his usual amount of food, he cheered after they released a statent denying the news.
Anyway, it really was not.
It was the dagger that Choi Yichan had gotten his hands on in the last incident that was causing him headaches.
[Item: Very Ancient Dagger ()
A dagger that can cut through anything.
It can even cut through the Causality.
This item is bound to Choi Yichan.
The binding state cannot be removed until you stab the target.]
He didnt realise it at the ti due to the urgency of the situation and the loud voices that liked to ddle. However, the dagger had been bound to him, with a sketchy description attached.
Furthermore, the target the dagger was supposed to stab thats ridiculous, theres no way he could do such a thing.
Haa.
Letting out a long sigh, Choi Yichan returned to his own room in the White Silver Guild and was startled.
Soone is there. He imdiately slamd the door shut and assud a fighting stance.
! Who is it?
The figure in the room flinched and turned.
The first thing he noticed was the pale yellow clothes. The coat was brightly coloured and bizarrely adorned, the kind of thing you wouldnt expect to find in a normal clothing store. It was, in a word, dood fashion sense.
The visitor, whose face was covered by a yellow hood and mask, opened his mouth.
Tsk, tsk, I thought you were still crying over your heartbreak.
No way, this douchebags way of speaking.
No, more than that.
I didnt have a broken heart.
Tsk, apparently youve dug so ground.
Choi Yichan felt his head throbbing, How did you appear? Or rather, did you have a body?
Aeons demise is near. So I regained so of my strength.
.
I have co to the rescue of a troubled contractor, hahaha!
The King in Yellow, , burst into laughter.

Incheon Airport, two days after my visit to Azalea Pawnshop.
It was early morning, but the arrivals area of the airport was bustling with people. The passengers returning from their trip were surprised to see reporters waiting with large caras.
Whats going on?
Whos coming today?
And there I was, standing in front of the reporters, with Ki Yoohyun and Ash beside .
I lowered my eyes with an awkward expression. It was because the staff from the PR departnt of the Dungeon Managent Office were filming us.
Eventually, one of the people who had been peeking inside the entrance hall shouted loudly.
Hes coming!
Click, click, click, click!On cue, reporters clicked their shutters in unison. In a shower of flashes, the man we were waiting for soon erged with a leisurely gait.
The public relations staff tapped lightly on the shoulder to give the signal. I walked up to him with a shaky step and was about to say the words I had already morised several tis.
Its been a while . oh!
Hahaha, great to see you again!
He hugged , still speaking correct but slightly awkward Korean.
Hunter Jas Jack Smith. The sa Arican Hunter who drank coffee mix at our shop before I opened Cafe Rieul. Jas ca to Korea again.
So do you know what I handed over to him in this situation?
Thats right. Its its a box of coffee mix.
The most wonderful gift ever! Thank you.
Jas grinned as he took the yellow box. Click, click, click! The shutter sound bood.
The reason why the situation beca like this.
Two days ago, I received a phone call on my way back from Azalea Pawnshop. The caller was none other than Han Yi Seong. He is the deputy guild leader of the Cheongna Guild, a close friend of Ki Yoohyun and a friend of Kwon Jiwoon. However, the number of tis we have t in person can be counted on one hand.
Therefore, I would like to ask Hunter Kwon Rieul to attend.
Thats exactly what Han Yiseong told . Jas is coming to Korea again.
It was an era when many countries outside of Korea were also plagued by rifts and monsters. Its partly for promoting the international exchange of Hunters, but he also inford that theres another purpose that they dont reveal to the public.
The Dungeon Managent Office will be holding an event to welco him to Korea, and he would like to attend.
After returning ho, Jas continued to talk about his love of coffee mix, and each ti he ntioned his relationship with . It made sense, then, that the Dungeon Managent Office would make this request.
I wanted to et Jas, of course. However, the idea of being in the middle of an event between the top rankers made feel intimidated.
After a monts consideration, I decided to politely decline.
Yeah, I dont feel comfortable with that either. Id love to et Hunter Jas, but oh, dinner? Yeah, if thats what you an.
But Ash, who happened to be back at the store, heard my phone call and suddenly asked.
Is that guy coming too?
That guy? Ah, Yoohyun-ssi? Yes, hes coming with .
I want to go there too.
really?
I was deeply moved. It was the first ti Id ever seen him voluntarily want to go to an event like this, especially since hed been avoiding lately.
What was it about this event that caught his interest?
Yes, Ash is interested, so it was not the ti to talk about how burdenso it is. I imdiately called Han Yiseong again and said this,
What you said earlier, Ill take you up on it, just schedule at every events I can get to!
Even so, I never would have guessed that there would be a coffee mix giving ceremony.
***
Im so happy to see you again. The worlds greatest barista, and my friend.
Haha, how have you been?
In the car travelling from the airport into the city, Jas, who had just loaded the trunk with a variety of coffee mix, smiled at .
After the incident with the monster in our shop that nearly killed him, Jas returned safely to the US and beca an active Hunter. His ranking has improved and he is now in the Top 20 in his country.
Regardless of nationality, its not common for a top Ranker to make an official visit to a foreign country. There are many issues to consider, such as the situation and relationship between the two countries.
As one would expect, the Dungeon Managent Office treated the visit as a very big event. Under these circumstances, I announced my intention to attend all the events. So you can imagine what happened.
I had a huge schedule ahead of . Han Yiseong really did put my na on every event.
By the way, the seating arrangent in the car was supposed to be Ash, , Ki Yoohyun, and Jas, but for so reason, Ash seed to be getting restless. After all, since he was looking forward to this event, he would want to be close to the main character.
Ash, shall we switch seats?
yes.
I spoke to the person in charge and changed the seating arrangent. Now, it was , Ki Yoohyun, Jas, and Ash.
Haa.
However, Ash turned his head away from with a look of dissatisfaction. Hes a part-ti worker at my house, but I dont really know what hes thinking.
The car carrying us was heading towards Namdaemun Market. The driver told we were going on a traditional market tour, which is supposed to be a mandatory part of any visit to Korea.
However, a large sign in front of us displayed a sign that read.
Hoehyeon Monster Farrs Market
Uh, umh.?
This is a recently opened market that sells monster by-products and ether ore. Namdaemun Monster Shopping Street, which had lost popularity to the Cheonggyecheon Workshop Street, has made ambitious preparations to regain the lead in the industry. Ive heard that the vendors efforts have paid off, and its popular these days, but.
Traditional market it is.?
The event organiser next to replied with a determined expression.
You cant stand out with ordinary contents these days!
Sure.
And surely a market used by Hunters in a Hunter Powerhouse is a real attraction!
I see.
It was strangely convincing.
Anyway, the participants were free to explore the market and spend so ti shopping.
