I Alone Going To The Tower

"Really?"

"Yeah, yes."

"Really, really, really?"

"Yeah. Really."

"You must! You must! You must!"

If I don't do it, it feels like it's going to kill me instead of cockroaches.

I nodded her head again and reaffirmed her promise to lay her barriers until she was relieved.

Only then did Hong Yeon bring her suitcase and start unpacking her luggage.

"If only you two..."

Karim, who was watching the two of us from behind with a strange expression, opened her mouth. I'm just guessing what you're going to say next.

"Just share the same room..."

"Specify!"

Oops. Was your voice too loud?

Hong Yeon, who was unpacking her suitcase, was staring at this side with an unknown expression.

I quickly looked at Karim and spoke in an explanatory group.

"In Korea, there is a saying that there are seven men and seven children."

"Okay. I don't like it either."

It's a mistake.

She said too adamantly because there was a reason she should never share the same room with her.

For some reason, I was planning to draw a magic circle that goes to Korea in my room.

With that alone, you can lie down and sleep in a comfortable horse tower as usual.

Go and eat Korean food. I also saw the tower family. Hong Yeon is on a business trip, but I am just commuting.

'Oh, I want to go eat Korean food soon.'

In fact, she doesn't want to take Hong Yeon too, but when she finds out from her horse tower, she also gets to know the president of the association.

If the president of the association knows her, more people will know. Matoap is a strict confidentiality guideline, and the fewer people who know the true identity of the Mato, the better. She feels sorry for her, but the time is not yet.

'Ah. there is?'

- Yes, Top Master.

'As expected, kimchi stew for dinner, please.'

- Didn't you say Pajeon was makgeolli?

'Eat that too!'

-I will instruct the secretary to buy materials and return.

Mate is the best I'm happy because I'm the owner of the map.

That was then. The other room burst open, revealing a man in his mid-30s, scratching his frizzy hair.

"Why are you so noisy in the morning? Kareem."

I quickly scanned his outfit and insignia. This person is also a Hunter. He is Asian, and he seems to have been sent to Tanzania with us.

Karim said, saluting.

"These are Hunter Kim Yoo-shin and Hunter Hong Yeon from Korea."

"Oh yeah?"

a man came

"My name is Zhang Wei. You are a certified 3rd grader in Korea who are rumored to be noisy these days."

"I'm Kim Yoo-shin."

Hong Yeon also came out to say hello, and went back to the room to unpack her luggage, apparently not interested. Her Zhang Wei's eyes widened for a moment when she saw her, and then she returned to her original shape.

"You're still young and the future looks bright, how did you get to this place?"

It was a question with a dark shadow.

"I applied."

"You applied? Tanzania?"

Zhang Wei smirked.

"Did you come to die?"

"I'm just here to help because the situation in Tanzania is bad."

"No, what… Higo. I don't know anything about the world, but I have a degree."

Zhang Wei took a deep breath.

"This is the place where the hunters stamped on the top lines, the hunters who were pushed out of the competition, and the hunters who got rid of the garbage are dispatched. It's called exile."

“……”

"I'm holding on by preserving my life somehow. That's over now. Selegma's offensive is relentless, and if even Mutwara is breached, there's nowhere to escape. It's just dog death."

I slowly moved my gaze to look at Karim. Her face had turned even paler.

"I'll see you at the conference hall. Hunter Kim Yoo-shin."

Zhang Wei patted Karim on the shoulder and walked away. She staggered and pushed away, but there was not a single word of her apology.

'Why do I have to stay in a place like this!'

A nervous voice echoed from down the stairs.

"Karim Hunter. Are you okay?"

She nodded her head without a word.

"You're a little weird."

"...not everything that Hunter Zhang Wei said is wrong. No, it's probably closer to the truth."

She raised her head as she mumbled her sullenly.

"But why did Hunter Kim Yoo-shin come to this country voluntarily?"

I replied with a smile.

"I'm here to win. Seriously."

* * *

After a two-hour break, we headed to the conference hall with Karim's guidance.

The soldiers we encountered on the way sometimes just looked at us with dead eyes and didn't show any reaction.

It is completely different from the reaction of the soldiers at the Allied Forces Naval Base.

Everyone was mentally weary and sick, like people waiting for death to come.

'Things look very bad.'

We entered the command building.

It was a better building than a dormitory, but everything was old and shabby except that it was converted for military use.

Every time I walked down the stairs, there was a creaking sound.

As I entered the hallway of the building, I saw people of various races talking. Karim, our guide, also exchanged greetings with them.

"Hey, hunters in Korea!"

A man with a coffee in one hand greeted us with a wide smile.

He had thick blonde hair and was wearing sunglasses, and the arm holding the coffee turned out to be a prosthetic arm.

"I'm certified 4th grade Wayne Jones!"

"Nice to meet you. This is Kim Yoo-shin."

"I'm Hongyeon."

"I heard from Kisowa! You said you did what you did right from the first day of dispatch? Hahahaha! I have no doubt that you will be of great help to our frontline!"

What, are there any normal people?

Scared to think so, Wayne's right prosthetic raised the coffee cup upside down. Naturally, the coffee spilled and wet his pants and the floor.

"Oh, excuse me!"

He turned his arm again. He clicks and his arms spin.

It was so rusty and messy that it was hard to think of it as a hunting device of cutting-edge technology supported by hunters these days.

"...This guy's arm won't listen again! His arm! This guy's faal!"

Chick! Chick! Kirik!

Now he squats down and starts to nervously rotate his arms.

The whites in his eyes are exposed, and he takes a deep breath. It was not a normal human reaction.

As we stand sullen, Karim says, 'Let's go.' and whispered.

We nodded our heads and followed her.

Wayne just twisted his arms hard, as if he had forgotten that we were leaving.

She didn't really ask why she was doing that, but maybe she's doing something like drugs. Among the hunters who play in the field, there is no such thing as normal.

So, on the way to the conference room, we met several other hunters besides Wayne Jones.

"Call me Scorpion."

The 4th grade hunter who lost one eye and wore an eye patch had been drinking since broad daylight.

"My name is Charlie! Welcome to hellish heaven!"

With disgusting silver piercings all over his face, tongue, and body, Hunter tapped me on the shoulder and offered to take me to a nice place tonight. Somehow, I refused because my eyes sting from the side.

"It's a pity that young children come all the way here. My name is Marta. If you don't know anything, ask me anything."

A female hunter in her 40s with dark makeup, with a white snake wrapped around her neck, beckoned warmly.

The snake was so docile that I thought it was fashion for a moment, but as if reading my thoughts, the snake moved its tongue threateningly. Martha stroked her hair and her snake calmed down again.

"Five minutes before the command meeting starts! Hunters, please come to the conference room!"

A military chief ran into the hallway to announce the start of the meeting, but the hunters were busy listening and talking.

"Let's go."

"okay."

We were the first to enter the conference room. In the center of the table in the conference room, a man with white hair and small wrinkles was sitting. He smiled brightly as soon as he saw us.

"You are young hunters from Korea! Nice to meet you."

That person is Julian Caballero, the captain of the Tanzanian Hunter Team.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

He is a certified level 3 hunter. She is said to be in her early 50s, but she looks older than she really is.

According to Karim, it is an Argentine legend that has been hunting monsters since the early days of Overlay. For us, he's like a senior.

'At the age of retirement, this is the front line.'

Julian was a warm person. He not only welcomed us more than anyone else, but he also gave us advice based on his experience on the future of dispatch.

"I'm sorry to all of you, but the situation is not so good."

"I've heard the general story."

Commander Selegma is located in northern Tanzania.

Selegma's men continued to advance south and took possession of the country's capital 'Dodoma' and the first city 'Dar es Salaam', and they are showing ambition to turn all the territory of Tanzania into a living field.

Tanzanian regulars and refugees have been pushed to the southernmost city of Mutwara.

The Tanzanian Regular Army and the World Federation are working together to protect the territory, but the monsters created in the plant constantly flock to it, and only a one-sided battle of attrition continues. There is a shortage of food and supplies, so a tough fight continues.

"And there is one more enemy our Tanzanian front is facing in addition to the monsters led by Selegma."

"Yes? What is it?

"The rebels."

I was stunned for a moment.

"The monsters all seem to die, but you're in a civil war? Divided into regular troops and rebels?"

"It's a shame, but yes. The rebels are located in Tanbahimba, not far from Mutwara. They are ready to attack Mutwara at any moment."

It is a situation that takes your breath away. Monsters alone are enough to kill me, but what about the rebels?

"Commander. I have a question."

Hong Yeon, who was looking at the map, said.

"Looking at the map, the Tabes garrison is located right near the rebel stronghold 'Tanbahimba'. Why are the rebels still alive? And it's also strange that they are poised to attack Mutwara. % I'd be aiming for an empty base..."

"That's a clever question."

Julian said with a sullen face.

"Actually, the rebels have never been attacked by monsters before."

"……Yeah?"

"I don't know why. But while we're tied to the monsters, it's true that the rebels closer to the monster's garrison are attacking us freely."

Hong Yeon rubbed her forehead and fell into trouble.

"In other words, the corps commander Selegma is leaving the regular army and hostile rebels alone. The monsters are using the rebels to keep us in check. Can you interpret this as such?"

"We think so too."

"or."

I pointed to Tanbahimba, the stronghold of the rebels.

“There are demons among the rebels.”
