Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 63

[T/N: Hello. I just took another Hunter-genre novel and I think you’d like to know. It’s Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. The sequel of the infamous Solo Leveling series. Chapter 1 is up on https://readhive.org/series/38553/#releases. Your support will be greatly appreciated!]

“She’s trying to protect her house in this mess? That’s amazing.” Seora burst into admiration after hitting a spider with the butt of Hit for a home run.

Baek Heewon’s traditional house maintained a lofty appearance in a large area without trees, even amid a mess with swamps and spider corpses.

The black curtain surrounding it was probably Baek Heewon’s defense skill, but it looked like it’d be extinguished at any moment.

“Oh my gosh.”

However, Baek Heewon’s appearance was more miserable than that. Her limbs were caught in rope-like webs, and blood trickled from her mouth. Seeing it dark red, it seemed she’d exhausted her mana and been poisoned.

“I should detox her first. Please deal with the spiders.”

Jarim, who ran immediately and cut off all the spider webs holding Baek Heewon, nodded at Seora’s words.

“Baek Heewon, are you okay? Are you conscious? Do you recognize me?”

“H-Huh? Huh?! What?! Why are you here?!”

Seora briefly explained as she grabbed the arm of the person who was trying to run away in fear and sat down. “Kang Sejun told me to help because a Rift Dungeon would appear here.”

Seeing that she wasn’t surprised, it seemed that Baek Heewon also knew about Kang Sejun. “Haa. Kang Sejun, that bastard. He should have told me when he called you…”

“I won’t kill you for not saying nice things to me, so drink this first. It is an antidote.”

“I was really wrong last time. What have I done to such a good child!” Baek Heewon held Seora’s hand, looking touched as she shed tears.

“Then, will you tell me when I can leave my job this time?”

As soon as Seora asked that, Baek Heewon quickly took the antidote and drank it. In other words, she was telling her to stop asking.

“You’re a spiritual shaman. Didn’t you know that a dungeon would appear here? You should’ve avoided it.”

“I didn’t know it was a Rift Dungeon. Besides, how could I leave this house and run away? Do you know how much work I put into building this perfect house halfway up the mountain?”

“Then ask the association for help in advance.”

“It’s an illegal building!”

“…”

Can you say that so confidently? No wonder. I wondered how such a mansion was in the middle of Mount Taebek.

“And you’re saying this now, knowing I’m a civil servant?”

“Oh my God. Seora, you’re a civil servant…?”

“What? They said you were spiritual, but you didn’t even know that? As expected, you’re a quack. I’m even a member of the association’s headquarters.”

“W-What? Why are you a civil servant? Looking at your personality, appearance, and everything, you are not inclined to be a civil servant, so why the hell?!”

“What’s wrong with me?”

“What kind of a bastard civil servant in this era goes out of her way to make money!”

“…”

If you say that, I have nothing to say.

After tearing off the cobwebs that tied Baek Heewon and throwing them away, Seora started screaming. “That’s why I am crying about resignation right now! When can I do it?!”

“… Come to think of it, civil servants aren’t bad either. It’s perfect for you. It suits you soooooooo well. Management, dealing with complaints, beating up criminals, stuff like that. It’s so peeeeeerfect for you.”

“Ah, seriously!”

“Guys, I’m glad you enjoy the conversation, but can’t you help me first?” Jarim pretended to be pitiful and called out to the two.

Baek Heewon only took her eyes off Seora and looked around with an absurd face then. All of the spiders, which she had been struggling with, had burst open all over the area quickly.

“Who should I help? The monsters?”

“If you keep doing that, I won’t do this anymore!”

“I can’t. I’ve used so many skills that I don’t have mana. I have no energy left.”

“This shaman sister is useless.”

“My house is safe and sound! My money is safe! That’s all that matters!”

She had a knack for taking nonsense seriously. When Seora clicked her tongue and stood up with her gun for support, Jarim raised her hand to stop Baek Heewon.

“You don’t have energy, you say? Let me tell you something. I can help you recover.”

“What?”

“You haven’t forgotten that I’m a combat-type healer, right? Stay still and don’t move.” Jarim fixed her weapon, took a position, and activated her skill.

[Activates the skill ‘Slayer’s Spear’.]

As she swung her scythe, a great gale roared and shook the ground.

When they reopened their reflexively closed eyes, the area around the site had turned into a mess. The swarming spiders were all torn apart and burst into pieces, spilling blood, bodily fluids, and venom.

With a single attack, Sung Jarim had cleared the area around the site. Even the nearby trees were undamaged in the slightest. She had perfect force control.

Baek Heewon and Seora were at a loss for words.

[Extorts the health of killed enemies. Recovers allies’ HP by 20%.]

As Jarim pounded the floor with her scythe, a message popped up. She immediately frowned.

“20%? Level 3 is too weak. If the monster is strong, it recovers up to 50%.”

“Wait a minute, Sung Jarim. What is that? Extortion? Did it say extortion?”

“Mm. It is my skill to steal the health of the killed enemy and restore my allies.”

“Is that possible?”

“Of course! I am a saint who leads everyone to salvation with holy deals!”

Seora had heard that ridiculous introduction when they discovered each other’s identities in a hotel. At that time, she thought she healed by making deals. But this ‘deal’ was apparently killing and taking it away?

“You said you were scared when I pulled a gun out, but I’m the one who should be saying that! What a scary person you are!”

“I developed this skill as I worked hard to live. Ha ha ha!”

It’s scary to ask what kind of effort you’ve made.

“As expected, helping the monsters seems right. Hey, the elder over there. I think you can catch all the remaining monsters by yourself, so do it alone. I’ll be guarding my house with Seora.”

“Who is the elder?!”

“From your face, it seems that you’ve lived over 100 years, so of course you’re an elder.”

“No! I’m 26!”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m sure you are.”

In the end, Jarim ran away crying. The spiders hit by her rushing body exploded with a bang. The other spiders’s legs trembled.

What an incredibly frightening sight. Baek Heewon and Yoon Seora pretended not to see the tragedy.

“Anyway, thank you so much for coming to help. I would have been in trouble in many ways if I were alone.”

“Didn’t you almost die?”

“Do you think I won’t know when I die? At least it’s not this time.”

When Baek Heewon spoke confidently, Seora tilted her head. “You know that, but why can’t you see my resignation?”

“Ah, thanks to Sung Jarim, I got my strength back. I’m so grateful. Now I’ll defend the house by myself, so you can go and help.”

“Don’t change the subject! Hey!”

“I’ll have to see if there’s any problem at home. I need to make sure that the shrine is also in good condition. Alas, busy, busy! Aigoo, I’m too busy!” Baek Heewon jumped up and went into the barrier protecting the house. Seora hurriedly tried to follow her but was blocked by the barrier.

“Ack, that’s hot!” Contrary to its appearance, the heat emitted from the shield was considerable, making it difficult to penetrate.

“Baek Heewoooooooon!”

You bastard Baek Heewon! I’ll never let you go!

***

[The boss of the Level 3 dungeon ‘Spiderweb Swamp’ has died!]

[Top Contributor: Sung Jarim (L-class)]

With the message, the scenery returned to the original Mount Taebek.

Standing on a dark night incomparable to the city’s night lights, Seora looked up at the sky. It had been bright until daytime, but the moon was not visible, perhaps because it was overcast.

“Is it going to rain?”

Should I call Brother? While she was thinking that, she saw Sung Jarim, who had killed the boss mob, slowly walking towards her.

“Oh, good job. Big Sis Jarim.”

“Don’t call me sis.”

“That’s true. Our age difference is well over 100 years, so it hurts your conscience to be called an older sister, right?”

“Your words hurt.”

With Sung Jarim sobbing, the two entered the house. The air was warm, probably because the heating was turned on.

“Good work. Eat this and rest.” Baek Heewon, who was waiting in the living room, waved her hand.

Ooooh. French fries, fried chicken, corn cheese, nachos, and even a cold can of beer. Kyaaa. What a perfect table setting.

“You have a good sense!” Jarim swept the food into her mouth with a happy that screamed, ‘There was nothing like this in Baskar!’ Speaking of, I heard that there are no plants there. I wonder what she ate.

“It’s so delicious. Did you cook it yourself?”

“It’s the frozen food I bought for myself. Do I look like someone who will cook?”

“As expected. Well, we can trust and eat frozen food, I suppose.”

“… Why? Why do I feel so bad?”

“It’s just you.”

“Ugh. My house is safe thanks to you guys, so I’ll let it slide just this time,” Baek Heewon gulped down the beer, saying she was burning inside.

“I can’t even drive because I drank. Can I sleep here tonight?” And she spurted out the beer she was drinking at Seora’s nonchalant words. Sung Jarim hurriedly protected the food.

“What are you doing?”

“What?! You’re sleeping here?”

“You’re not asking me to drive up to Seoul in the middle of the night after giving me alcohol, right?”

“Is beer alcohol? It’s easy to get rid of drunkenness at your rank!”

“I can’t because I don’t know how to do it.”

“I’ll do it for you!”

“Aww, I’m already dizzy. Aye, I should go to sleep.” Seora, who was half lying down, sipped her beer while tapping her toes.

Baek Heewon found her annoying, but she could do nothing except clench her fists. There was an administrator behind her; above all, she was still a benefactor who protected her home and life a little while ago.

Eventually, she unclenched her fists and poured the remaining alcohol into her mouth, muttering that she did not know if she had any extra blankets.

“Tsk. Well, then, it must be fate. I had something to tell you, so let’s talk while you’re here.”
