Hunters Keep Coming To My House - Chapter 104

Chapter 104

From then on, one more day passed.

I looked at the system window in satisfaction.

[Today’s cleaning is done!

Proficiency of <Cleanliness is Next to Godliness!> increases by 5%!]

[The path to becoming the title ‘Perfect Homeowner’ is this!

You have successfully completed the quest!

Fill the proficiency of <Save Water and Electricity!> up to 50%.

Fill the proficiency of <Cleanliness is Next to Godliness!> up to 60%.

Proficiency in these two skills will increase even faster in the future.

Reward upon success: Free electricity and water, a house that doesn’t need cleaning]

“Haha!”

Now I’m liberated from cleaning!

And I’m also freed from the management fees that have been gnawing at me!

Let the celebration begin!

I smiled proudly as I danced with a mop in hand.

“…Wow, when did our house grow like this?”

I did my best.

I’ve been so busy with household chores, constantly getting caught up in work. I praised myself for handling it wisely. Then, I decided to enjoy the remaining morning leisurely and flopped onto the sofa.

“Hmm, I don’t think I’ve ever had time to watch TV during this busy period.”

Should I watch now?

After a moment of contemplation, I sighed and shook my head.

It would just be the same content repeated if I turned it on now. Especially at this ambiguous hour…

“It’s probably flooded with government-related content.”

I had reasons to be so sure.

It was because of Kang Yoon-soo, who briefly visited my house at 10 in the morning.

He handed me a wrapped Ego Sword with a bright smile.

“Ms. Yeon-oh, here’s the Ego Sword. Thanks to you, I’ve been using it well. And I recommend you rest at home today. Everything outside is turned upside down. Mr. Kim Chok announced all the corruption at the press conference today.”

Kang Yoon-soo’s expression as he said this looked quite relieved. Despite having unloaded all the burdens of the world, he casually refused my suggestion of having a drink at the bar and went back.

Although I heard about the situation vaguely last night, I felt sorry because I didn’t know exactly what corruption had been committed.

How trashy must the content have been for Kang Yoon-soo to roll his eyes like that?

“Hmm, I’m curious, so I’ll just skim through the high-rise internet articles.”

Rather than digging into the news, it’s a good way to see only the content I want through articles.

After quickly making a decision, I took out my phone and connected to the internet.

Sure enough, there was nothing but government corruption-related content on the main screen. I muttered provocative titles one by one.

?Government’s True Colors, Shocking Revelation!?

?Now They Speak! Appeals from Victims Targeted by Government Hunter Office Officials.?

?Inferior Hunters Forced into Gates Despite Unsuitability. Who Guarantees Their Lives??

?All Reasons to Avoid Hunter Registration Because of Government Hunter Office Officials!?

…Wow, just reading the titles makes my head spin. Must be my imagination, right?

I shook my head and clicked on the article with the highest number of views to start reading.

“…Wow.”

It’s frustrating when it’s the same person. Frustrating.

The article I read briefly described how government officials have been treating hunters poorly, preventing them from even being decent hunters.

There were minor details like discriminating against hunters by rank, denying them treatment, embezzling support funds, and so on… but the main point was this.

“…Forcing civilians into gates?”

Is this even possible…? Are these people insane?

I knew better than anyone how dangerous the monsters inside the gates were.

So, it’s no wonder I’m cursing.

I quickly searched for a more detailed article on this topic.

…More gruesome details caught my eye.

The situation arose from a combination of a shortage of even inferior hunters and a lack of superior hunters to control them.

The government focused on one of the reasons people awaken as hunters, ‘when their lives are in danger’… and this led to such actions.

So, they secretly gathered desperate people and forcibly pushed them into gates, hoping they would awaken. But most of them ended up losing their lives inside the gates.

The reason this serious misconduct could continue without being exposed… could be summarized in two.

Firstly, even if the majority of the people forced into gates went missing, there was no one to search for them. Secondly, government hunter office officials knew about it but deliberately kept it hidden.

To be more precise… it wasn’t just hidden, they were directly involved in it, so it had to be kept under wraps.

“Ugh.”

The more I read the article, the more my blood pressure rose, and I could feel my head pounding.

Is this something that could happen in a rational world? No matter how greedy you are, this is just not right.

At that moment, a thought crossed my mind.

“His friend was forced into a gate and severely injured.”

That’s why the recruiter joined hands with Kim Chok.

“…Could there be a connection?”

I narrowed my eyes, seriously pondering, and then just lay down on the sofa. It would be faster to ask the person directly rather than speculating on my own.

“…But it’s not the right time to ask the recruiter, as the task is not yet finished.”

The recruiter must be very busy right now.

He and Kim Chok are putting effort into overthrowing the government together. He mentioned that if it’s something like this, he could help too.

So, even if I tried to contact him, there was no way he would respond. Well, I don’t even know his phone number anyway.

“I’ve seen enough of the article… and it seems like public opinion has reached its peak.”

Kim Chok and the public couldn’t just let this shocking revelation go unnoticed. They decided to take action, getting rid of those who only engage in armchair discussions and appointing someone who knows the situation well as responsible.

As I turned off my phone, I murmured.

“This seems like revenge enough.”

Now, all that’s left is for Mr. Kim Chok to properly swallow up the government.

Then… Kim Chok won’t have time to pay attention to me while he’s rebuilding the government, and the public will focus their attention on the new government… It was a situation where I could kill two birds with one stone.

Just a while ago, I was undoubtedly the top concern.

It’s good to receive some attention, isn’t it? Yeah, yeah.

I closed my eyes for a moment. I wanted to enjoy this peace after so many consecutive incidents.

But.

Ring!

The loud system sound interrupted my thoughts, and I furrowed my brow as I opened my eyes.

…It seems like my wishes aren’t part of the laws of this world.

“It’s scary to have free time… What kind of task are they going to give me?”

Grumbling, I checked the system, feeling like I had no choice but to open my eyes wide. Then, soon after, I shouted desperately.

“No! I don’t want to! Decline! Go away!”

The reason I ended up shouting like this was because…

[TO: Ms. Seo Yeon-oh,

Since I haven’t received any contact from you, I’m writing this letter.

Waiting for Ms. Seo Yeon-oh every day is really hard.

So, it seems like it’s time to start now.

If you want to refuse my suggestion, please shout it out to the air within 1 second after reading this letter.

Then, I’ll wait.

FROM: System Administrator Allen.]

It was because of this damn system window.

…Just because they write a polite letter through the system window doesn’t mean that emotion gets conveyed. And besides, a second is not enough time to refuse!

I was grumbling unnecessarily at that moment.

Suddenly, the front door shook loudly.

“…What?”

It was the first time in my life encountering such a situation, so I froze in place.

There was no warning of an intrusion in the yard, so why on earth was the door shaking like this?

Even my pupils shook with anxiety.

“Do I have to open the door now? Or should I pretend not to know… Aaah!”

As the door shook strongly once again, I stayed on the floor in place.

Where the doorstep should have been, it was bathed in a golden light, and soon… a large hole was created.

Amid the life-threatening situation, I sensed my fate thanks to the system window that appeared before my eyes.

[P.S. It seems I sent this faster than I thought. Actually, there was no way to refuse from the beginning. Humans these days like to play pranks like this, don’t they? I hope you like it.

If you’re reading this postscript, you’ve probably moved already.

Please take care.]

Haha, what a joke.
