I Became a National ‘Disaster’ Level Monster

Chapter 93: Just Beautiful!

“Alright, everyone, please line up and follow quietly.”

“Wow, this really is the Godzilla Junior that appeared in Akihabara 10 years ago…”

“Thank you for sending the ambulance quickly.”

The incident at the ballroom of the Kitsune Family had concluded safely.

Although there were injured people among the prominent figures from various countries, not a single person had died, and they were all safely leaving the family’s estate.

“Prince Katsuo! Can we get a word from you about this incident?”

“Excuse me, can you answer a few questions?”

It was a terrorist attack carried out within the estate of one of the world’s top ten families.

Thanks to this title, even though it was still early in the morning…

Ambulances arrived to pick up the injured, the police had sealed off the area, and a large number of reporters had entered the Kitsune family’s estate, all waiting for Katsuo, the next head of the family, to respond.

‘If this were a time of the caste system, I probably wouldn’t be seeing such a scene, would I…?’

Even if they were one of the world’s top ten families, the times were such that they couldn’t make commoners kneel just because they found them bothersome.

Katsuo, who was trying to calm the surroundings by saying he understood for now.

Meanwhile…

“Unni, this person is alive, right?”

“Ah, yes… They’re a sturdy person. They’ll be fine after a bit and will get back up.”

We were hiding behind a building opposite the bustling ballroom filled with various people.

The reason, of course, was because of this person.

“By the way, Unni Kurumi, you’re really amazing. Who would have thought that the person you brought from Korea as a bodyguard was the famous Soviet Immortal?”

“Haha… Is, isn’t it?”

Mr. Lorensky, who had appeared awkwardly in front of me after defeating the Godzilla Junior I was supposed to take down for revenge.

Of course, I knocked him out with a “Be quiet!” punch, strong enough to fracture his skull without killing him in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, we were hiding here to shelter the international criminal, Mr. Lorensky.

“Ugh, ugh…”

“Amazing… To think he’s still alive after taking that attack…!”

“S-Suka…”

I’m sorry, Mr. Lorensky.

But if a Monster Hunter misses the right moment to make their exit, it can lead to big trouble.

Originally, I planned to quickly escape from the estate right after subduing the Godzilla Junior.

But thanks to Mr. Lorensky, that plan was ruined, and I was left with an awkward timing on how to escape.

“Rooaar!”

“Rooar?”

‘Inari?’

Just then, Princess Kurumi’s monster, Inari, charged toward me.

Thanks to Inari, I pretended to fight and naturally slipped out of the estate.

Well, after that, I canceled my transformation and slipped back in during the confusion.

“Hmm. But to think that the monster next to me just now was the Korean National Disaster-level monster. I had no idea.”

“R-Really?!”

“T-That could be possible!”

“I thought it was a monster that belonged to someone since it had such a gentle vibe… The world really is vast.”

It wasn’t so much that the world was vast, but rather that I was the only monster of that kind.

‘Anyway, the fact that the incident has concluded safely is fortunate, right?’

I placed a mask over Mr. Lorensky’s face to conceal his identity, still unconscious.

Then I was about to carry him on my back to Princess Kurumi’s palace when…

“Inari, carry him.”

“Rooaar!”

Inari took over my task.

“Mr. Shin-woo, you must be tired as well. You can ride on Inari’s back.”

“Oh, I’m fine.”

Currently, Inari was carrying Mr. Lorensky, who had been knocked out by my punch, and Yoo Shi-hyun, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Leaving the ballroom incident behind us, we were heading toward the palace…

“Wait!”

…when Asuna stopped us.

“?!!”

“…!”

What could it be?

Or was it possible I had aroused some suspicion?

With a nervous glance at Princess Kurumi, I could only break out in a cold sweat.

At that moment, Princess Asuna, who had approached me from behind, spoke to me.

“Before that, I have a question for you, Han Shin-woo.”

“…!!”

Gulp.

“You are…”

“I-I’m sorry…!”

“Why… Why don’t I feel any revulsion from you?”

“…Pardon?”

And then came the answer.

I wondered what she was going to say.

Well, considering that Asuna was a Beast Hunter, just like the rest of the Kitsune family…

“Ah, it’s just that I have a unique constitution.”

“A unique constitution?”

“Yes, one that’s Beast Hunter-specific.”

The situation reminded me of when I first met Sophia.

Back then, Sophia had reacted with the same amazement, just like Asuna was now.

‘This brings back memories…’

“Um, could we exchange contact information if it’s not too much trouble?”

“Huh? Oh, yes. Of course, that’s fine with me.”

In the game, no matter what you did, you could never save the main heroine Asuna in the Japan route.

Since I had started the Kitsune Family episode, I was determined to save her.

She was someone who had made me tear up even from beyond the screen, and I didn’t want to experience that emotion again in real life.

So, having her approach me like this was a golden opportunity.

“Here, this is my number.”

“…! Th-Thank you!”

Just before we parted, we exchanged phone numbers like a couple who had just started dating.

“Um, perhaps we could have a meal together later with Unni Kurumi…”

“I’ll arrange the meal.”

But then…

“?!!”

“Unni…?”

Princess Kurumi was staring at me with a very solemn expression.

“Mr. Shin-woo.”

“Yes…”

“Let’s go.”

“Yes…”

I got the feeling that acting on my own any further would get me into big trouble.

So I obediently followed the princess’s command like her true bodyguard.

Thud.

“Princess?!”

“I’m tired. Lend me your shoulder.”

Was she that exhausted?

Even though there were reporters swarming around Katsuo just across the way, Princess Kurumi didn’t care and leaned on my shoulder as we walked together.

***

An hour earlier.

Just as Shin-woo was giving Mr. Lorensky a “Be quiet!” knock on the head as he charged at him…

“Sakura, take care of the rest!”

“What?! W-Wait! Brother Rokyu, where are you suddenly going?!”

The corpse of Godzilla Junior.

The fallen Hunter families, stunned by the sight of the monster they summoned, were being arrested.

Thinking the incident had come to some conclusion, Rokyu immediately left his sister in charge and dashed off somewhere.

The place he was rushing to with all his might was, of course, the kitchen.

He roughly knew that the monsters had only appeared in the ballroom, but just in case…

If those monsters also showed up in the kitchen…

What would happen to the servants of my household there… and that blonde maid?

“Please… Please, please, please!!”

Even while running toward the kitchen, Rokyu couldn’t understand why he felt such emotions, especially toward that blonde maid.

However, just the thought of her being hurt made his chest feel like it was being torn apart.

“I haven’t even asked her name yet!”

Knowing it was reckless, he began moving across the rooftops of the buildings within the estate.

“…!”

He had hoped it wouldn’t be true, but…

There were a few monsters, albeit fewer, not only in the north, where the ballroom was located, but also in the east, where the kitchen was.

“…! My lady!”

“Grrr?”

“Grr?”

Under the clear night sky with a full moon.

Leaping through the air, Kitsune Rokyu pointed at the goblin-like monsters on the ground and shouted.

“Fire! Katsumoto!!”

A black liquid began to gather under his finger.

Like a shadow compressing, the black bullet, Katsumoto, shot out from Rokyu’s finger and quickly pierced through the heads of the monsters who were looking up at him one by one.

“Kek?!”

“Kikikikik…!”

By the time Rokyu landed, all that remained around him were the corpses of monsters with their heads cleanly pierced.

“Return, Katsumoto.”

A monster that could be controlled by its master’s single finger, like a bullet.

At Rokyu’s command, Katsumoto returned to his index finger without a scratch and disappeared back into the shadow.

“Phew… I don’t sense any more monsters nearby. Does that mean it’s safe?”

Rokyu sighed in relief as he gazed at the blood-stained outer wall of the building next to him.

That building was none other than the kitchen.

Which meant that the blonde maid, who had been driving him crazy since this morning, was inside.

“…?! W-Why am I so nervous?”

If you want to meet her, just go meet her!

After all, I am one of the direct descendants of one of the world’s top ten families.

As someone who could even meet the Japanese Prime Minister if he wanted, why was he hesitating outside the kitchen?

No, why was he, the employer, frightened of a mere maid?

With these thoughts, Rokyu kept circling around the building, going in and out of the kitchen.

“Haa…! I’m going crazy…”

He was so frustrated with himself that he didn’t know what to do, sighing continuously when…

Crack. Crack

le, crackle.

“Huh?!”

From behind him, the green-skinned dwarf monsters he had clearly killed began gathering in one spot, dead.

The corpses started clumping together.

And the spirits of dozens of dead monsters gathered to form a new entity, a B+ rank monster.

“N-No way… A Goblin Hero?!”

How could this be?

A monster that only appeared under extraordinary circumstances, with its massive body and overwhelming strength, was entirely different from the usual dwarf-sized goblins.

A Goblin Hero, a monster at the top of the goblin hierarchy.

“Katsumoto! Fire!”

Before its body fully formed, Rokyu quickly transformed all ten fingers into black bullets and fired them at the emerging Goblin Hero.

But…

Ping!

“They’re… bouncing off?”

The beast, whose strength was clearly on a different level, deflected the bullets with its bulging muscles and finally revealed its form.

“Hmph!”

In a flash, the Goblin Hero had closed the distance to Rokyu’s side.

Swoosh.

Raising a giant sword made from the bones and calluses of its fallen comrades, the Goblin Hero aimed to cleave the man who had used up all his bullets.

“Duck!”

Crash!

Kitsune Rokyu saw it.

The image of the blonde maid, who had just broken through the hidden kitchen window, parrying the Goblin Hero’s sword.

“You, you’re…!”

Rokyu had so much he wanted to say.

His mind was in chaos, and he didn’t know whether to feel relieved or worried.

He was simply in a daze.

But if there was one thing he was sure of in this situation…

‘How… How can someone be so beautiful even while fighting?’

She wasn’t just a goddess of beauty with nothing but a pretty face.

She was a goddess of war, possessing both beauty and immense strength.

Watching Sophia, who danced while swinging her scythe above the Goblin Hero’s head, Rokyu realized at that moment…

Thump, thump, thump, thump-!

…that his heart was pounding like crazy.
