These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 21

5. Taming the Protagonist.

“Really… is that true?”

Park Yoon-sung asked back in disbelief.  Kang Yoo-hyun looked at him and nodded slowly.

“It’s true. Han Yi-jin of Loki Guild has skills to buff the target’s ability. The skill level is at least S.”

“No, where on earth such a talented person…”

There were often talented people with buff skills. However, no matter how high the level of skill buffs were, they had no effect that exceeded the limits of their abilities.  No one could break through the 99 of the stat limit. That is the rule in this world. No matter if it was an S-class or an extremely talented one like the SS-class Kang Yoo-hyun.

Those who had already achieved a breakthrough were eager to develop their skills. This is because the more skills used, the more proficient and far superior the effect will be. Even with the same rank level, if the ability stats were the same, superiority and inferiority were determined by the difference in skill level and proficiency.

If Kang Yoo-hyun’s words were true, Han Yi-jin’s additional skills seemed to buff not only stat but also all ability, including skill proficiency. The more he thought about it, the harder it was to believe.

Park Yoon-sung himself is also curious if Kang Yoo-hyun caught the SS-class boss monster alone because there was no reason for him to lie.

Park Yoon-sung was surprised when he received a message from the pager that was provided to all guild members. It was a gold pager that had been issued to all guild members who were S-class or higher. It was from Kang Yoo-hyun, who was also an SS class.

Park Yoon-sung rushed to the entrance of the dungeon and finally found the barely conscious Kang Yoo-hyun. As soon as he saw Park Yoon-sung, he said something nonsense. Then he fainted.

A few days have passed and when Kang Yoo-hyun regains consciousness, he insists that he should bring Han Yi-jin, who had an auxiliary skill.

“If what hunter Kang Yoo-hyun said is true, I must meet him.”

Park Yoon-sung nodded in agreement with Kang Yoo-hyun. But there was one thing that bothered him.

“But he’s from the Loki Guild, it’s gonna take some time.”

Park Yoon-sung, who was frowning as if he was in trouble, was deep in thought for a moment. Prejudice was unavoidable. Even in the unprecedented catastrophe that hit the world, those who hurt others for their own interests and power were the people he hated the most. It wasn’t easy to accept criminals just because of their outstanding skills.

Kang Yoo-hyun said in a calm voice to Park Yoon-sung, who was worried.

“You just need to write the contract more thoroughly.”

Kang Yoo-hyun also needed Han Yi-jin’s ability, but he didn’t believe him. When a hunter joined a guild, hunters were supposed to write their skills down in the contract. Violation of the contract will get you a big penalty. In the case of Han Yi-jin, the provisions could be revised more thoroughly.

“That being said…”

Nevertheless, Park Yoon-sung’s face darkened as if he was not relieved. It was because he had suffered a lot from the villains who had infiltrated the Odin Guild.  In particular, Jang Tae-san, the guildmaster of the Loki Guild, is a viper. If he already knew Han Yi-jin’s skills, he didn’t know what he would do under his pretext.

“By the way, this is a very unusual case, since it’s an S-level skill for a B-rank hunter, but he can use the skill freely.”

The skills that low-rank hunters couldn’t handle were like poison. Even if he had an S-level skill by luck, it was only natural that he couldn’t use it as much as he wanted with B-rank capabilities. However, according to Kang Yoo-hyun’s testimony, that isn’t the case.

“…”

Unlike the suspicious Park Yoon-sung, Kang Yoo-hyun did not find it strange. It was because there were so many extraordinary things in Niflheim, where he had been trapped for 300 years.

There were times when he ignored the low-ranked monsters, and panicked as surprise attacks became more frequent. On the other hand, Kang Yoo-hyun often found the ordinary things in this world more awkward.

“Well, the system is always fickle.”

The fact that he and other first-generation awakeners were suddenly caught in a gate and trapped for more than 300 years were all unrealistic.

After hearing that, Park Yoon-sung also sighed reluctantly as if he accepted it.

“Haa, anyway, I’ll try to contact Han Yi-jin.”

“Please do it as soon as possible.”

“Yes, and today’s press conference…”

Knock, knock.

A knock is heard in the middle of their conversation. When Park Yoon-sung signalled, the secretary came over and opened the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“Oh, that…”

When the employee opened the door, he hesitated with a troubled expression on his face. Then a head appeared from behind him.

“Hyung!”

“…Kang Soo Hyun?”

Kang Yoo-hyun frowned at the unexpected appearance of his brother. The younger brother he had met for the first time since returning from the dungeon gave off a different vibe than before.

Oh, come to think of it, Kang Soo-hyun said he was awakened. Park Yoon-sung hinted at Kang Yoo-hyun, who just woke up after returning from the dungeon, but he didn’t really care.

“Why are you here…”

“I brought a guest. He said he had to meet hyung. But…”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who hesitated, looked at someone who lightly stepped aside from the door.

“Hello, Kang Yoo-hyun.”

“…”

“…”

“Um, long time no see?”

The man who had just been the subject of conversation between Kang Yoo-hyun and Park Yoon-sung appeared with an awkward face. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable with the gazes of the men staring at him speechlessly, Han Yi-jin quietly lowered his slightly raised hand and smiled awkwardly.

I was temporarily set free.

That meant, that damn Jang Tae-san will have to use Han Yi-jin’s ability again.

“Ha…”

I stared blankly at the passersby.  Everyone looks so happy. Even though they passed by with expressionless faces, they didn’t look like that to me. At least everyone is happier than me!

“Fuck, Jang Tae-san bastard.”

How am I supposed to screw that bastard?

That was the source of my problem for a few days. But sadly, I don’t have the power to screw Jang Tae San over. At least not alone.

Should I approach another character?

Even though I knew the novel’s plot had been distorted and the timeline messed up because of me, I had no choice but to believe the information I knew. After all, nothing will change for the main characters themselves.

First of all, there is Kang Yoo-hyun, and his younger brother, Kang Soo-hyun who joined the Odin Guild. This is the best place to ask for help. Above all, Kang Yoo-hyun is the protagonist of the novel, and the guild is also big that it surpasses the Loki Guild which I thought that the Odin Guild could protect Han Yi-jin’s younger brother well.

However, the probability of them not trusting me is high. I’d better be careful of being stabbed in the back any time, but I don’t know if I can handle it. Besides, meeting the Kang brothers in person felt somewhat chilly…

Next was the Freya Guild.

This is actually a guild that only women could enter, but that actually made it easier. This is because we can enter into a contractual relationship and help each other without joining the guild.

The problem is that many heroines will have a serious relationship with Kang Yoo-hyun later. Most of the characters are crush characters who are crazy about fighting, so their romance isn’t very great, but still, it’s inappropriate for them to meet the main character often.

Well, I’d like to see the Valkyrie, the combat unit, though. I mean, it looked really cool when I read it in the novel.

No, no. I’m not trying to be a fan. Get a grip!

I’m just trying to get in touch with forces that will exchange favours with each other using an S-level auxiliary skill. Therefore, I have to think objectively and be more considerate.

Next is Thor Guild?

But I really don’t like this place, they are just a bunch of fighting maniacs. Once you are taken to the dungeon, you will be stuck for a month and cannot get out.

“Ha…”

Or the Heimdall Guild…

I also don’t like this place because only pig-headed people gather here.

Come to think of it, there weren’t any normal guilds. I couldn’t help but sigh. It was when I looked up at the sky blankly.

“Oh?”

“…?”

Someone passing by suddenly stopped and exclaimed. I turned my head away from looking at the sky then looked to the side.

“…Kang Soo-hyun?”

“Yeah, you were that hyung back then, weren’t you?”

Why is Kang Soo-hyun here?

As I continued to stare at him suspiciously, Kang Soo Hyun gently closed his eyes and smiled brightly. He still looks like a brown-haired retriever. I felt as if he was wagging his invisible tail excitedly.

“Whoa, it’s good to see you.”

“Are you happy to see me?”

Besides, the way he behaved as soon as he saw me wasn’t normal. He says he is happy to see me. Is he crazy?

“Oh, did you call the police? Or the Hunter Association?”

“Yes?”

“Otherwise you wouldn’t be glad to see me.”

“…”

When I faltered and was wary, Kang Soo-hyun looked hurt for a moment. I flinched at his big eyes. Why should I feel guilty?

“I didn’t call the police. And I didn’t call the association either.”

“No…”

“Please trust me.”

“…”

I couldn’t stand those sparkling eyes so I nodded reluctantly.

“…Okay.”

“Whoa.”

I looked at Kang Soo-hyun, who was smiling very happily, with a complicated look. This person is not wearing a school uniform, and is playing truant. As a civilian, I considered whether I should give harsh advice, but Kang Soo-hyun spoke up first.

“Hyung, what are you doing here?”

“Oh? Me?”

“Yes.”

Why is he so interested in me? Am I mistaken?

“Well, just… watching people?”

That goddamn guild master ordered me to commit another crime again, just like what I did to you. I couldn’t say that honestly, so I answered brusquely. I’m actually a bit dazed.

“Haha, what was that?”

“Don’t make fun of it. I just enjoy watching people.”

Kang Soo-hyun, who smiled widely at my quick answer, opened his mouth again.

“Hyung, do you want to go on a date with me?”
