073. Flesh and blood

A space that is extremely splendid.

Various magic tools rotate on the black marble floor to keep the air pleasant,

A twinkling light floats in the air.

I didn’t think it was such a special space before I came in, but when I entered, I was greeted by a wide and different landscape.

The place we arrived at was a luxury department store exclusively for hunters that dealt with VVIPs.

“…… Wow, crazy.”

It was my first impression of a luxury goods hall.

In the case of famous hunters, there are many people who draw attention enough to say that celebrities should go away.

Kang Do-hee and Shin Se-hee are also one of them.

When famous hunters go out on the streets, people immediately flock to them, and their daily lives are shared in real time on social media.

Of course, their status within the Velvet Academy was quite high, but

The same hunter, the same cadets, and other cadets were also semi-celebrities, so there were few things that they shared on social media or ran into.

Because of this, when working outside the academy, he prefers a space where access to the general public is restricted.

This was Shin Se-hee’s explanation.

“…… So, I don’t particularly like luxury goods, isn’t it?”

She looked at me with her mouth wide open and then babbled a gibberish excuse next to her.

“No, well, you might like it.”

I cleared her face and said to her.

‘While I like shopping.’

“Is that so? However, Jin Yu-ha’s reaction just now…….”

“Ah, I was just surprised that it was more colorful than expected. I don’t think it’s particularly bad.”

I answered with a smile.

“Originally, there are a lot of fake items that have not been properly verified, so it’s difficult to evaluate the value unless you go into the gate and see them.”

“Right!”

“First of all, the things handled in these places are things that have gone through an appraisal. If we want to continue attracting customers here, there will be fewer scams on product quality.”

“Right, right!”

Then, Shin Se-hee nodded her head in agreement.

‘Hmm, but is this a bit different from the store stuff? I don’t know because it didn’t appear in the game.’

As I looked around and pondered for a while, Shin Se-hee handed me a booklet with a gold hard cover.

“Huh? A product catalog?”

“Yes, before you start shopping in earnest, it would be helpful to go through the product list in advance.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

I opened my eyes wide while examining the catalog that Shin Se-hee handed me.

‘No, crazy!’

Original store mark items are rarely used unless you are a brand newbie.

More than that, the performance of the items picked up in the gacha was overwhelmingly good.

However, Shin Se-hee introduced us to this luxury store.

Fluttering— Fluttering—

Hands flipping through catalogs are getting busier.

‘There are these…… !?’

Description of products listed with pictures.

There weren’t many items that appeared in the gacha, but they occupied a few places.

‘…… The best rating is Epic. It’s not that exceptional performance. Still, gacha items can be obtained from the shop…… ?’

I raised my head and spoke to Shin Se-hee.

“As expected, going shopping with you was the answer.”

I went through the catalog carefully again and selected a few must-buy items.

‘Mmm, this one, and this one too. Oh, it would be nice to have this too.’

Then, I also noticed the price tag of the product.

‘…… But, a bit pricey……. That, there is none.’

A reasonable price to summon Lim Ga-eul.

If you want a little better performance, you can just go over 10 million won, and the things you think you need boast a value close to 100 million.

Of course, the price has gone up significantly, including the fact that gacha items can be obtained from stores.

They said they secured the money by handing over a top-notch magic stone,

It was impossible to save everything that caught my eye with this.

‘…… Do I have to sell another magic stone for this?’

Magic stones accounted for the most in Alice’s box,

It is also an item with a limited quantity, so I am a bit worried.

‘In the mid-to-late half, magic stones and money are not a problem, but no matter how much I spend now, I think I will run out of money later… ….’

Did you read such troubles?

“Come on, Jin Yoo-ha. Here you go.”

This time Shin Se-hee pulled out a card from her wallet and handed it to me.

A black glossy card.

At the bottom, Shin Se-Hee was written in luxurious italics.

I slightly furrowed my eyebrows.

Just before I declared that I would take care of the party members’ equipment.

What is this doing?

‘…… Now, are you trying to buy me with money?’

I stared at her. Then she smiled as if not to misunderstand.

“Get a discount with this.”

“…… Discount?”

“Yes, if you present this card at checkout, you get a 40% discount on all products.”

Huh.

I don’t know how many times I admired it.

‘This is why I’m asking you to meet the daughter of a rich family…….’

“No, of course! I know that Jin Yu-ha wants to prepare things for the party members, but……. You can buy it cheaply, but why waste precious money…….”

‘…… Who the f*ck is this motherf*cker who called this angelic woman like a snake?’

“No, this really helped me a lot. Thanks. Shin Se-hee.”

I shook my head and said.

And I accepted the brilliant black card she gave me.

“hehehe, I’m glad you accepted it.”

She held out her elbow to me with a visibly relieved expression.

“Then, shall we go?”

He hesitated.

For a moment, my body stiffened.

‘Ah, is that it? An escort or something.’

In the old world, when a man sticks out his elbow, a woman grabs it.

Well, no matter how reversal the world is, I felt a bit resistant to being the role of following a woman by the elbow.

‘But, isn’t this supposed to be the case here?’

I looked at the elbow she held out.

She grabbed her hand.

“…… !?”

Shin Se-hee looks at me with an unexpectedly surprised face.

I raised her hands clasped in front of her.

“Let’s just hold hands and go.”

* * *

From noble mtl dot com

Oh, it’s hot.

You said you would escort me, but I never thought you would hold my hand there.

I really can’t let my guard down for a moment.

‘…… This man is really…… !’

Shin Se-hee fanned her blushing face with her hand.

Pounding

Pounding

A heart that starts beating fast.

You can feel the touch of Jin Yu-ha with your fingertips.

‘Is it because he is a person who holds a sword? Big hands……. And hard…….’

As soon as I was conscious of my hands, sweat started to build up. The gap between their clasped hands was wet with sweat.

‘Aren’t you embarrassed…… ? I’m fine, but I’m worried…….’

She glanced sideways at her and raised her eyebrows.

However, it seems that Jin Yoo-ha doesn’t know about Shin Se-hee’s situation.

“This, this. And with that. Oh, and give me that too.”

He was choosing and purchasing things without hesitation.

“…… Yes!”

It wasn’t long before the staff at the luxury store also gave a puzzled expression to the man who had joined hands with Shin Se-hee at first.

I was busy packing the things he ordered.

‘…… What, you don’t even hesitate?’

Originally, she was going to be by his side and give him advice, but she was taken aback.

‘Didn’t it be said that men are the type to worry about a thing for a long time…… ?’

However, Jin Yuha’s judgment was very quick.

Within seconds of looking at an item, she judges its value and decides whether or not to buy it.

‘Even accurate.’

Shin Se-hee admired inwardly.

There is almost no difference between him and himself, who have developed an eye for things by visiting this place all the time.

‘Have you ever been here in the future…… ?’

No, probably not.

He looked really surprised when he first visited this place.

‘Ah, maybe the items handled here will become something moderately useful in the future, not special.’

Originally, as times change and technology develops,

The higher the quality of equipment, the higher

In the past, high-end products were meant to be passed into the hands of the public as general products.

Um. Hmm.

She nodded her head at her thoughts.

Jin Yu-ha hurriedly picked out items that would suit each party member.

And Shin Se-hee’s eyes sparkled at the object Jin Yu-ha had just picked up.

‘Wow, that’s my taste!’

In addition, there were also items that clearly snipe Shin Se-hee’s taste.

Things I would have bought if I had come alone today.

‘Uh… …. But, if this…….’

She glanced at the chat window.

There are still messy conversations going on there.

‘…… Wouldn’t it be better for each of us to just pay it back on our own?’

Right now, even Shin Se-hee herself is worried about what to give him, so trying to make a decision together only added to the confusion and didn’t seem to be of much help.

‘Let’s just say something.’

【Blossom ✿】 ─ Everyone, it would be a good idea to prepare a gift for Jin Yu-ha.

There were countless question marks after her sudden words, but she didn’t care and put her cell phone in her pocket.

It was then.

“Oh my God, who is this?”

A voice suddenly cut in from behind.

Shin Se-hee’s head stiffened.

“Is it Sehee?”

As she identified the owner of the voice, her eyes widened.

“Our Sehee… …. I haven’t heard from you about entering the Velvet Academy, so you’re meeting everyone here?”

Long black hair like Shin Se-hee.

A long and elastic body.

A woman with a sword at her waist.

Hunter family. God.

S-rank Hunter.

Shin Soo-yeon.

‘…… Why is this woman here!’

She said softly, rolling her eyes into half moons.

“Even with a man next to you? If you do this, I will be really sorry for you.”

She was Shin Se-hee’s older sister.
