The wait was long every day, but when he thought of him, Kim San strangely kept smiling. Recently, Kim San was unfamiliar with his seemingly floating steps.

He’s a strong man, but he’s always worried. This is because the more he learned guiding, the more he could see how much pain Gido Hae was suffering.

Recently, when their bodies touched each other, a strong wave would begin to flow in.
Kim San felt like he swept the dry rice field with his hands, but that was not the only time. By the next day, the cracked ground was still desolate and dry.

One day, green grass will bloom there, too. Then the sun will no longer relentlessly dry the ground, but grow the grass.

He really wanted to relieve his pain before he was assigned to another city. Perhaps a guide with a higher matching rate could have appeared soon . It wasn’t bad, either, to reduce the time he suffered.

Kim San’s footsteps, which were moving as if they were flying, returned to their original state. Feeling the weight of his steps crashing into the ground, Kim San suddenly had a question.

Come to think of it, why isn’t there a guide with such a high matching rate with Gido Hae?

Thinking that he should ask the teacher later, Kim San entered the pretzel place where he was going. After buying a pretzel and chatting with the owner, he hung the bag on his wrist again and moved diligently. Although he hasn’t been out for quite a while, the people who are looking for Kim San were there today.

“Hello, mister, ma’am.”

“Kim San is here.”

Kim San bowed to the couple who were protesting in front of the government complex.

After meeting them for the first time, Kim San came to this street several more times.

The couple were here every day demanding a proper investigation. Saying there was no way their only daughter went missing because of a monster. Every day, even in the middle of summer when the sun hits people’s shoulders mercilessly.

Kim San felt sorry. He couldn’t help but think of his family who went to heaven. Then, Kim San, who saw the woman staggering with dehydration symptoms, urgently handed over the water he was carrying.

When Kim San helped them with their appeal, the couple quickly opened up to Kim San. It was a short period of time, but during that time, Kim San talked a lot to them. The fact that the two couples are also people who moved in from out of the city. The fact that her daughter, who was born like that, just went missing when she was an adult.

In particular, because the hometown of the aunt’s side was a small village not far from where Kim San lived. However, he has not yet said that he is looking for his mother Kim San is afraid he would remind the old couple of bad memories again.

“Did you drink a lot of water today?”

“Yes, thank you for your concern.”

The lady was sitting on one side as they were taking turns taking rest. The man standing with a picket only nodded bluntly at Kim San’s greeting.

“Eat this.”

Kim San handed over the pretzel he had bought on purpose. The lady did not hesitate and accepted the small favor.

Whenever he saw the wrinkled and cracked hands, Kim San missed his grandfather. His grandfather, who has been farming all his life, always had this kind of hand.

The more he heard about the situation, the more he felt sorry for them. Especially after he heard what happened to the disappearance caused by monsters from Gido Hae. Of course, he couldn’t tell that to the couple either. Kim San had no right to crush the small hopes they had.

He also wanted to believe. With the hope that the lady at least doesn’t get that sick.

“How are your studies?”

The aunt also seemed to see someone’s shadow in Kim San. When she looked at him, he couldn’t help but notice her eyes becoming dim. Nevertheless, Kim San would always greet her whenever he passed by pretending not to know.

“Yes. It’s still very difficult, but I’m still going to try hard. Oh, I’m taking a break from class for a reason.”

“You’re doing something great for the city. Cheer up.”

“Yes.”

Kim San revealed from the first meeting that he was a guide. The couple seemed unfamiliar with the fact but showed no reluctance. Kim San noticed that there are still times when an Esper or guide feels a bit like a distant world’s work to ordinary people, through conversations with them.

“What’s the big deal?”
However, ever since he heard that Kim San was a guide. The man occasionally showed signs of disapproval. Kim San was not disappointed by that.

“There could be another way, but it’s still cruel to the children.”

The man’s words were filled with worry.

“I told you not to talk nonsense. Don’t worry, Kim San.”

“I’m really fine.”

“Yes, by the way, would you like to try this? I grew it at home, so it’s ugly…….”

Kim San’s eyes widened as he saw what the aunt was holding out. He felt happy to see this food for the first time in a long time.

“Thank you!”

It was still warm as if it had just opened. It was a hot summer, but Kim San held it in his arms. Kim San was going to meet Gido Hae later, and the first thing he thought about was sharing it.

“Thank you for the food.”

After that, Kim San, who had been exchanging a few more words, went back to the center. The steps floated back into the air and then sank. There was still enough time left for the promised afternoon.

Knowing that Kim San just wanted to go ahead and wait for him.

“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

The monster that was running away frantically soon began roaring loudly. It revealed the ferocity that it had been suppressing for a while, judging that there was no more room to run away.

“…….”

He only slightly frowned at the roar of an A-class monster, that would have made any other esper nervous.

It’s annoying.

Soon, even as the monster rushed toward him, Gido Hae stood calmly and looked at it. As soon as the gaze touched the monster’s vicious face, the change occurred. There was an eerie sound that broke the bone and popped through the thick flesh.

“GRRRRR.”

After saying his last words, the monster quickly collapsed on the dirt floor in a shape similar to meat dough. This was the result after three hours of pursuit.

“Sigh…….”

It ended without a single monster blood scattering in all directions, but Gido Hae shook his head in frustration. This is because it took more time than he expected and it was annoying..

He is currently on the outskirts of City A. Technically not entirely outside the city, but far from the center.

Although the population density is naturally decreasing, the thing they just caught was clearly an A-Class monster. This is because the monster was a unique entity that escaped from Esper.

The ability and appearance of this monster were different from those of different variants. It was just a normal monster, but it ran away because of its survival instinct to run away from the Esper dealing with it..

The monster who ran away like this was very annoying. Monsters who were aware that they were being chased used to hide in mountains during the day like guerrillas and come down at night to hunt humans. Later, they couldn’t overcome his hunger and were eventually killed while entering the city.

Among them, this guy received particular attention because he was A-class. The moment it breaks into the city, even for a brief moment, they would be left with a lot of casualties

Usually, these escape monsters were below D-Class, but this was strange.

Anyway, the matter was urgent, so Heo Pil-Sik dispatched Gido Hae as soon as the A-class monster was reported. It was bloody timing. At this point, Kim San’s roommate, who was said to be a “good brother,” returned.

Obviously, he is taking measures to keep him away for another week, but the call from Kim San last night was unexpected. When he checked right away, Gido Hae was able to confirm that Park Joo-Hoon returned to City A as if he had almost escaped.

He had to quarantine Kim San. He urgently sent, Park Joo-Hoon back to the outskirts of City A in the morning, but it was not enough. Gido was planning to hold on to Kim San for a long time under the pretext of guiding, but this monster appeared.

Isn’t the timing quite coincidental?

As the fleeing individual hid in the dense mountains, Gido Hae’s range narrowed. Thanks to this, Gido Hae did not hide his irritation to kill half the incompetent Esper who missed the monster in the first place.

As he picked up his cell phone and called the processing team, Gido Hae checked the strength in his body. As expected, he felt that his fatigue was rising again because he recently overused his strength. It was for this reason that he used his strength as if he were twisting the monster’s whole body, even if he could just twist his neck.

Keeping the fatigue level too low was also appropriate because it hindered the plan. He had to look overworked so his father’s monitoring would be reduced even a little bit. He would probably spy on Gido Hae throughout the city if he didn’t show his fatigue.

After calling the people who would clean up, Gido Hae manipulated the phone with familiar hand gestures. On the screen, a map indicating Kim San’s location in real-time soon appeared.

“…….”

It was a behavior that has become almost a habit recently. Kim San had a much wider radius of activity than expected without knowing anyone in the city. After checking it, he had to monitor the location from time to time like this.

At first glance, Kim Ssan’s location indicates he was not currently at the guide center. When he checked just an hour ago, he confirmed that he was inside the center. He can’t believe he is going this far again.

Didn’t he just say he was at the accommodation?
