The S-Classes That I Raised

at kind of skill it is?”

[It is just an elemental’s contract! The contracted rank is the elemental’s maximum rank.
Hyung, hyung.
What is Rin’s rank?]

The two black eyes shone as they sparkled.
It was its own skill, but could it not check?

“L-Rank.”

[Wow, Rin is impressive! Rin is impressive!]

Irin was excited and so, shouted.
I followed suit and chimed in agreeably, praising that it was really impressive.
To think that it could grow up to L-Rank.

“Our Rin will probably get really strong from now on.”

[Yeah! Rin is the strongest!]

“And get along well with Yoohyun.
The contract won’t become cancelled, right?”

[It will not be cancelled until one side ceases to exist!]

Rin, grow up a lot.
As long as just this one finishes growing up, the worries about the future would probably all disappear.

“How long will it take to finish growing?”

[It hasn’t been long since Rin was born, so about a thousand years!]

…It was really slow, huh.
It had been good for a moment.

I walked slowly as I pet Rin.
In the kitchen, the tableware was left as they were.
There were two chairs at the table.
The calendar on the wall was that of 3 years ago.
I tried flipping through a few pages.
There was a circle around my birthday.

I turned around and went towards a room.
Including before the regression, it was from a long time ago.
Even so, it felt like I could find it with my eyes closed.
I grabbed the door handle and slowly turned it.
The scene inside the room was the same as before, too.
But unlike when I last saw it, there were signs of life.
The top of the desk wasn’t completely empty either.
I saw textbooks and writing utensils.

“It feels like Yoohyun is going to call out to me from behind soon.”

Asking ‘hyung, what are you doing standing there’.

[Yoohyun is outside, hyung.]

“Yeah.
I should go.”

I wanted to look around a bit more, but I didn’t know what kind of mess was happening outside.
I should ask Yerim to hit that little brother of mine with a splash of water.

“I’ll see you next time, Rin.”

[When Rin gets bigger, Rin will be able to speak outside, too!]

“Alright, then.”

…How do I go out? I definitely remembered it being dismissed when both people decide to go out, but it didn’t work.

[Hyung?]

“Wait, it seems like it’ll work too……”

Let’s ruminate on Diarma’s memories.
First of all, there was mutual agreement and, ah, this was different from that bastard’s!

“Irin, I think it changed because you intervened……”

[Really?]

“Yeah.”

Was there any way? We should put our heads together and figure it out.
So skills that weren’t standardized through the system were actually dangerous, huh.

 

The mind-related space skill was only dismissed after a long time.
Still, thanks to that, I properly studied the skill.
It seemed like I would be able to use it even without Rin’s help after a bit of practice.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a ceiling.
It wasn’t outside, but indoors.
How much time had passed? With the light past the curtain being dim, it wasn’t night.
It seemed like I was on a bed, and both arms were grabbed.
When I turned my head to the right, I saw Yoohyun.
I only heard a slight sleeping noise as if he was deeply asleep with his body turned toward me.

First of all, it seemed like he was fine.

Yerim was sleeping on the other side.
Clinging to my wrist with one hand, she had kicked the blanket off about halfway and was sprawled out.

‘Yerim also looks fine.’

It looked like there wasn’t a big problem, thankfully.
In order to get up, I took away the arm that Yoohyun was holding.
At that sharpness, the closed eyes opened slightly.

“…Hyung?”

“That’s right, sleep more.”

Don’t get up.
With him falling back asleep at the light patting… it seemed like there had been a big problem.
It meant there was something that would make an S-rank Hunter tired.
Hong Kong was probably safe, right?

“Yerim, let’s sleep after letting go of my hand.”

“Uhh… guild leader bastard, come at me……”

Yerim sleeptalked.
Hm, okay.
It looked like the two of them fought.
It was a relief they were safe.
I didn’t know if Sung Hyunjae was alive.

I got off the bed carefully in order to not wake the two.
When I turned and saw the bed that was large enough to hold four, not three, I laughed automatically.

‘Both of them sleep well.’

Ah, how cute.
Since they were quietly asleep, they were like angels.
And on the floor next to the bed, a young man who was exactly suited to be a model of an angel was crouched over.

Noah-ssi, why were you sleeping on the floor? There was enough room.
Was there no other bedroom here?

“Noah-ssi, please go up and sleep.”

At my call, Noah slowly raised his body.
He rubbed his eyes with a tired face and then was startled when he saw the empty place I gestured to.

“Ah, no.
I am awake.”

“I do not know about Yerim, but Yoohyun is a calm sleeper.”

“It is alright.
I will go wash my face.”

Noah sent a slightly frightened gaze toward the two people and left.
It looked like the kids made a bit of a commotion yesterday.

When I quietly went outside of the bedroom after seeing Chirpie sleeping inside a basket, a big living room appeared.
Seeing the sea through the front window, it seemed like we were still in Hong Kong.
Was it a different hotel? There were stairs going up to the 2nd floor, too.
I looked around the surroundings, and then turned on the TV.
Along with a reporter’s nervous voice, a news screen appeared.

“…Wow.”

That had definitely been land.
A round portion where the hotel had been had disappeared and seawater was filling it.
Here and there, there were traces of things that had melted and then solidified.
The reporter’s explanation that the ground had collapsed and melted over ten meters in depth pierced my ears.

[The whole region of Hong Kong has fallen into astonishment at the traces of the 2nd rank giant sea creature type Kraken having been swept away.
The □□□ Hotel has completely disappeared, and the current missing people-]

So they had told people that the Kraken that done that shit, huh.
That guy’s size was big and it had a skill that could call waves, but it wouldn’t be able to make things like that.
But what the hell did they do that the ground disappeared? The hotel site and up to the coast was a considerable width, but all of it was broken up.

“You’ve woken up.”

Sung Hyunjae came down from the 2nd floor.
I wasn’t particularly surprised that he was here.

“…What happened to healers that you are like that?”

But it was quite surprising that there was a trace of an injury on his exposed nape.
It seemed like the region that was covered by his clothes was bigger.

“Did you say it was an elemental? It’s thanks to the young master’s flames being incredibly fierce.
It contained a power that slows recovery speed, so apparently the healing will take a few days.”

It seemed like it had a similar effect to the blood flames.
Besides that, it was interesting that he was hurt.

“Did you sell off the Sillekia’s Wings somewhere in the meantime?”

A burn that big wouldn’t have occurred if there was an S-Rank flame resistance .

“I lent it to the little mistress for a bit.”

“…Excuse me?”

“If something happened to the little mistress under the young master’s hands, my item wouldn’t be okay.
I don’t want it to be broken yet.”

Did my ears go bad – what nonsense was this now? So did that mean that this person in front of my eyes protected Yerim? While he himself was getting hurt? I had been going ‘he’s crazy, he’s crazy’, and now it looked like he finally went crazy.

I stared blankly at the smiling face, and then turned around.
I should also go wash my face or something.

 

[1] using ur name in 3rd person is a childish thing, like in eng, so throughout this ch, irin gives off a v ‘young child’ feel.
