Is This a Novel or Something?…Everyone and Their Dog is Regressing, It’s Fking Ridiculous

Chapter 582



Side Story Chapter 29 – The Trouble is Too Scary.

Let me say this in advance, the store Ayeon entrusted to Yeonwoo was surprisingly decent.

Here, decent means the store is big.

That said, it doesn’t mean the sales are incredibly high.

It only sells lunchboxes, snacks, and drinks.

In fact, it was more like an ordinary convenience store.

Honestly, I thought Yeonwoo alone could manage it just fine.

This was likely Ayeon’s considerate consideration for Yeonwoo.

Perhaps that’s why there were only a relatively few customers visiting.

Even if they did visit, there was nothing that would pose a problem.

After all, people came to the business place to relieve their sexual desires.

There was no reason to have grand demands at just a convenience store.

And yet…

“Uh, customer… would you like to check out?”

Thud.

It was truly unfortunate that a nuisance had arrived yet again.

A man suddenly entered the store and carelessly tossed items on the counter.

Ignoring Yeonwoo’s greeting as if it were nothing, blatantly disregarding her.

As if that wasn’t enough, he even threw down crumpled cash.

At the same time, he bobbed his head without saying a word.

Such a nuisance could be considered a dereliction of duty if he wasn’t a hunter.

Anger surged up within me in an instant.

Basically, a store can’t be maintained without customers, but that doesn’t mean customers have the right to act like that.

Furthermore, Yeonwoo was still at an age where she hadn’t even started kindergarten.

Doing such nonsense to a mere child made me genuinely want to kill him.

But for the moment, I decided to hold back.

Hadn’t Yeonwoo asked me to keep an eye on things?

Even if I could resolve the situation by stepping in, it would disregard Yeonwoo’s intentions.

So I thought it best to respect Yeonwoo here.

Besides, the surrounding succubi were stealing glances occasionally.

If anything went amiss, they would intervene immediately.

And worst-case scenario, I could always rewind through regression to fix it.

At that moment, as I was holding back my anger, Yeonwoo suddenly began to move her hands toward the hunter.

Not merely waving her hands.

She had a bit of a complex, rhythmic movement.

“Can you understand this?”

Yes.

That was…

Sign language.

Yeonwoo, thinking the visiting hunter was simply hearing impaired,

was earnestly displaying sign language with her little hands.

With a bright smile so as not to hurt his feelings.

Even as a nuisance, Yeonwoo overflowed with consideration for others.

Meanwhile, the hunter gritted his teeth and trembled in response.

He’d come to act all high and mighty and was now being treated like a disabled person, which seemed to infuriate him.

Suddenly, the hunter put on sunglasses and pulled out a white cane.

Was he trying to take advantage of being treated as a disabled person?

It seemed he wanted to imply he really had a disability now.

Ironically, just a moment before, he had proven he could see perfectly well.

He was indeed a piece of trash unworthy of the title “hunter.”

Then Yeonwoo quickly apologized to the hunter.

“Ah, I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were an idiot even with your eyesight!”

Snap!

“I’ll check you out quickly! Just a moment.”

The spicy words that nobody would imagine coming from a child.

Suddenly, the hunter gritted his teeth even harder than before.

At least he hadn’t completely forgotten to pretend to be disabled.

He was desperately trying to keep his mouth shut, as anger threatened to spill out.

Regardless, Yeonwoo finished the transaction and handed back the change.

[Yeonwoo is definitely a promising hunter.]

‘No, f*ck. Where did she learn words like that?’

Just…

“Here you go.”

Thud.

It was a bit problematic that she threw the change back.

It was merely a repetition of what the hunter had just done.

Could he really not tolerate being treated how he treated others?

Eventually, the hunter began to open his gritted teeth.

“Why are you throwing money, you fcking btch!!!”

“My mom said to give back what I received.”

It seemed thoughts of rage had truly risen.

“And this is a children’s banknote! Are you crazy?”

“Anyway, you’re welcome, right? Now I can see and talk!”

Of course, Yeonwoo maintained a service-industry smile.

[This is just like Jesus.]

‘Looks like Ayeon has thoroughly educated Yeonwoo.’

This could be considered the fruits of that education.

I worried just a bit that she might cry upon encountering a nuisance.

I was really relieved that I didn’t have to worry about that anymore.

Meanwhile, the hunter’s voice had gotten even louder than before.

“Who are your parents! Where are they!”

“The customer’s parents aren’t here. They expired and were discarded.”

“I mean your parents!!! Bring them here, you dog sh*t!!!”

And it seemed he couldn’t handle that either; the hunter reached for his cane with intent.

Looking as if he was about to strike Yeonwoo’s head at any moment.

Honestly, I could only think how pathetic it was.

To resort to violence after being outsmarted by a child.

Well, if he was a hunter, he was certainly the most exemplary one of them all.

[Even if the opponent is an elementary school student, you should always do your best.]

‘Yeonwoo hasn’t even started kindergarten yet, you dog sh*t.’

Finally, the string of patience the hunter had was about to snap completely.

“Have you found them?”

“……Uh… you… why…?”

But when I showed myself, the snapped string of patience was reattached.

“You called.”

“……No way… for real…?”

It seemed the hunter recognized who I was.

He now knew that pulling nonsense here would come with consequences.

To be precise, it wouldn’t be me delivering the punishment, but the heroines.

In any case, thankfully, this stopped the threat toward Yeonwoo.

With a confident smile, Yeonwoo brought her head forward.

I gently patted her head and offered some advice.

Still, wouldn’t it be a bit much to say someone’s parents had expired?

“Yeonwoo, next time, just guide them to the mortuary.”

“Okay, I understand. Dad.”

A proper place needed to be suggested to welcome the customers.

However, this meant Yeonwoo’s first encounter with a nuisance had been a success.

There was no longer any reason to keep the nuisance here.

It was time to send the nuisance away.

“Yeonwoo, how about saying goodbye to the customer since they need to leave?”

“Okay, Dad. Alright.”

With those words, Yeonwoo turned her gaze to the hunter.

The hunter stared back at us with despondent eyes, alternating between us.

Looking at him, Yeonwoo composed her voice and clothing.

With a beaming, cute, doll-like smile on her little face.

A smile only a child could display.

“Tsk. Primitive male parasite…”

……No, it was a painfully sharp smirk.

Filled with disdain beyond the ordinary.

It seemed that was quite shocking, as the hunter quickly fled the scene.

‘Oh gosh…’

[……Wait a second…]

Of course, I was just as shocked, if not more than the hunter.

Yeonwoo, who usually spoke politely and was quite courteous,

had just used such vile words. How could that be possible?

I genuinely wanted to know which piece of sh*t had taught Yeonwoo such things.

‘Was it you, f*ck.’

[……I didn’t teach her that! It’s true!]

Seeing her urgently deny it, it didn’t seem to be Peace.

“……Yeonwoo, where did you learn that?”

“The succubus union sisters told me. They said to use this line if hunters act up.”

Those f*cking wenches, seriously.

Not having experienced office life, I had no particular feelings about unions, but with this incident,

I was left with a bitter impression of the succubi’s union.

No matter how much it was meant to deal with hunters as deep as an abyss,

what were they supposed to do when they themselves became the abyss and acted like that?

I felt the urgent need for Ayeon to crack down on the succubi’s union.

“……I see… but don’t do that next time…”

“Why?”

“Dad used to be a hunter too.”

“But you’re not a hunter anymore.”

That was true.

As I said before, I’m retired from being a hunter now.

Of course, since I was once a hunter, I still bear some restrictions.

But I can officially say I’m just an ordinary person now.

[Still, you’re like a criminal with a red mark on your record.]

‘……Since when did our story equate hunters to criminals?’

[……Looking back, I’m not even sure if this is a fantasy hunter story.]

But even so, there’s no way Yeonwoo should be allowed to say such things.

Of course, she had a point; none of her statements were incorrect.

Admittedly, words like those were hardly befitting for a hunter.

But that didn’t mean it was good for her to say them.

No matter how mature she is, she is still just a child.

Surely it would be better if she could wait until she grows a little more before saying them.

“So can you promise Dad you won’t use bad words anymore?”

“Okay, I understand. I promise.”

Fortunately, Yeonwoo eagerly linked her pinky finger with mine, agreeing.

“Thank you, Yeonwoo. You don’t dislike Dad, do you?”

“No, I really like you, Dad.”

With that, I could momentarily put aside my worries about the future.

Anyway, I had completely chased out the nuisance,

and provided Yeonwoo with a good experience as well.

Now it was time to run the store normally.

“……Dad, if you take out beer carelessly, Mom will get mad.”

“How about our Yeonwoo has a drink too? Let’s sneakily drink it.”

“Thinking about it, beer is actually barley tea. Mom won’t mind barley tea.”

As long as possible, that is.
