[SL/SL:R x Reader] Illumoria

Deleted part of Safe in your arms.

I read your request but then I only remembered that Byung-gyu was alive and had a good reunion

That's why I wrote this, when I read it again I realized I remembered wrong

😭😭😭

A strange and large flow of energy appeared.

The two S-rankers were sipping drinks at an outdoor bar, not seeing each other for many days. Yoonho finally turned around. "What was that just now?"

"Maybe Choi Jongin and Cha Haein fought over something. Internal conflict within the Hunters' Guild?"

Taking the glass of wine in his hand, Byung-gyu chuckled and drank it all. Baek Yoonho looked at him in disbelief. "Is this worth joking about?"

"Isn't it funny, hyung?"

"No."

Taking into Byung-gyu's sense of humor, he was truly a strange person. 'He's probably the first S-rank Hunter in the world to retire, without any problems.'

Probably the first in the world. And the only one. An S-rank Hunter can earn tons of money. How many people would dare to throw away their careers like he did? Feeling Yoonho's gaze, Byung-gyu asked.

"Hyung, are you really going?"

"Yes."

"Do you remember how the hunters sacrificed themselves?"

"That's why I have to go."

Byung-gyu looked at him in confusion. Yoonho drained his glass and replied.

"If we leave the ants alone, the people of this country will die like them."

"Since when did you become so patriotic...?"

"Well, that's a great excuse to justify mandatory work."

Mandatory work.

Indeed, the Guilds could not refuse a general mobilization order from the Association. Although the Association allowed the Guilds to operate freely, the Guilds had to respond to the Association's requests. Association.If they decide not to serve, they are allowed to leave the country.

Byung-gyu was quiet for a bit, then glanced at the ring on his finger, his eyes growing softer. "I'm about to get married and start a family, Hyung."

Yoonho only now noticed the diamond ring on his old friend's hand, his eyes widening slightly. "You proposed to her already!? Why are you only telling me now?"

Byung-gyu chuckled. "It was just a few days ago, we haven't even told our families yet." He declared seriously. "So, I'm not going. Never. If you're trying to force me, you're approaching the wrong person."

"That's not what I came here for."

Yoonho paid the bill and stood up. They had just finished the last bottle. "I wanted to see you just in case. Who knows if we'll see each other again? Congratulations, you finally got to marry the person you love."

Byung-gyu stared at Yoonho disappearing into the distance and gave up trying to convince his senior. Yoonho was well aware of how dangerous this activity was.

'And yet he still decided to go.'

With a hint of doubt, Min Byunggu finished the meal in front of him 'Well, thinking about it... There's no reason why hunters wouldn't like fighting magical beasts.'
