Lia woke up a few minutes after they arrived at the cafe.
-We’ve all gathered here because we’re going to present our skills.
-I see.
The team manager then came up to him and said,
“They have to understand.”
“…”
“Make sure you’re all prepared, let’s finish this as quickly as possible.”
“That’s a lot of pressure.”
Jaehwang replied.
Usually he would thoroughly manage his energy before starting any training. The team manager than smiled and said,
“Don’t worry Jaehwang, you’ll do great no matter what. But no one has to tire themselves out, this is just a short review.”
“Okay.”
Jaehwang replied.
It felt a lot like the first time he tested his skills against Gwanjae.
“Anyways, we can do this. They don’t stand a chance against all of us. They may have respect from everyone in each nation but they chase after that. They chase after it so much that it becomes an illusion.”
“An illusion.”
“Yes. but, her and the rest of them are still young. She still has a lot to learn in the hunter world.”
“It’s just an illusion.”
“Usually idol singers are handsome and good singers but a lot of hunters aren’t like that. However, they are certain to get more attention if they have those factors. Having both is what’s really impressive and fortunately she is one who has both. Of course we are stronger than she is but they could clearly put up a good fight.”
“We’re also much older.”
Jaehwang then nodded his head in agreement and replied,
“Yea, I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to handle them. After that we should earn more hunting experience to get closer to a level up.”
“That’s true.”
“You’re only five years older than her but your skills are much more advanced.”
“But, what about your appearance…”
The team manager said.
He then looked up at Jaehwang’s face and shook his head.
“It’ll work.”
“And sure to be nice to them the next time we meet them.”
The team manager said.

“It’s done.”
“Good.”
“Okay. when I first watched the video I wanted to keep doing what we were doing before. Until now it has seemed to have been working fine. I worked really hard to come this far and become a level six hunter.”
Lia said while shooting arrows in her dream as she was still unconscious.
Her shooting gloves were thicker than the ones Jaehwang uses. The palm of her hands were completely unharmed.
However she had been shooting so many arrows that her fingers were a little scratched.
“Watching the monster raid video made me really happy. I didn’t make any mistakes.”
She then faced up towards the roof as her eyes suddenly started to tear up.
They had been sitting in the cafe for two hours so far.
Jaehwang, who was sitting at a nearby table, looked at the clock on the wall and got up from his seat.
“I think it’s time to get up now.”
Jaehwang said to Lia who was still not feeling too well.
“Oh! Is it already time? Sorry. I just wanted to talk some more…”
“Today was fun.”
Jaehwang replied and Lia smiled with her eyes still closed dreaming.
Her other clan members were still waiting for her to come to so they could leave and get back to their tent area.
“Let’s go.”
Jaehwang turned to leave out of the door but Lia stopped him by saying,
“Wait, stay here with me for a little.”
“Uhh…”
Jaehwang said turning around as Lia held onto his sleeve. He looked back at her and her eyes were clear.
“Do you happen to be… dating someone?…”
She said and her face turned red like an apple. Clearly she was very nervous about asking such a question. Jaehwang awkwardly looked around after her question. He wished she wouldn’t have asked him in the cafe.
Obviously he didn’t know what to say in that awkward situation.
“Uh..”
Jaehwang started off saying.
Everyone in the cafe was looking at them waiting for his answer.
“I probably shouldn’t be asking you this.. I’m sorry…”
She was aware that maybe it wasn’t a good time or a good question to ask. But, if she didn’t ask him at that time then she would have never been able to find out the answer.
“No, it’s okay.”
Jaehwang said.
“There is someone.”
“Oh.”
She said seeming disappointed.
“Are you in love with that person?”
She said as if she had to push the words out.
“I don’t know if it’s love but I know that I want to marry this person.”
“I see.”
Lia replied as a tear fell down her face.
She tried her best not to cry but couldn’t hold it in. Jaehwang stood there looking at her not knowing what to do. Of course he didn’t think it wasn’t much of a big deal but seeing her so upset did make him feel terrible. Lia then wiped her tears and smiled.
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
“Well… I’ll get going now.”
Jaehwang said and turned away to leave the cafe.
-You shouldn’t have answered her question like that.
The spirit said to Jaehwang. The team manager told him to say that to maintain a good distance from others to maintain professional relationships with people and not get too close to anyone. Until then he didn’t realize how hard it would be to follow through with that not knowing how much it could upset someone.
He felt that he didn’t want to follow that advice anymore.
Instead he wanted to just be honest. Obviously the spirit also knew how he really felt.
-Well, what I said technically wasn’t wrong.
-Yea but… I don’t know I just think it was uncalled for.
-I guess your right.

About an hour later more news spread about Jaehwang. It seemed that the Sakura clan must have said something that definitely didn’t help give him a good reputation.
“This imagine is definitely going to need some fixing.”
Rumi said. She seemed to not be feeling so good about the news.
“It’s not just a bad article but its just…”
While he was with the Japanese hunters Jaehwang they must have gotten a photo of him in action. Written at the bottom of the photo in the article included an explanation of the background and there was even a video taken to go with it. However, there were many ripples at the bottom of the photo creating a big impact in the present.
And the article also said that Jaehwang was dating someone. Obviously it wasn’t Lia who told anyone about that, it was someone in the neighborhood he overheard them.
“Jaehwang.”
“Yes, Rumi?”
“This…”
“What is it?”
“Your dating someone?”
Rumi asked nervously.
“Yes.”
“Oh…”
She replied clearly looking upset but Jaehwang just ignored it.
-Wow, you’re such a bad person.
-Be quiet.
“Who is she?”
Rumi asked but decided that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to ask.
“Nevermind, I won’t invade your privacy.”
“Yea and I hope all this work your doing doesn’t interfere with you relationship. It can be hard to date when your so busy all the time…”
“It’s fine. She’s stronger than anyone I know. She’s spending her time eating a lot and taking care of herself.”
-What! Eating a lot?! I don’t eat that much.
-Your still eating orders you got from the cafe.
-I’m just saving them.
-There’s no need to get some to save. But, at least they’re making you stronger.
-Whatever.
She said ending the conversation.
“It is kind of surprising.”
Crazy Fan 2, The end.
