Chapter Text
Kim Ki-ryeo couldn't stand it anymore. The constant pestering of Hunters and media attention was slowly gnawing away at the mans sanity.
"I moved to this planet to retire..." Kim Ki-ryeo murmured mournfully into the freshly brewed green tea while venting out his feelings to the Civil Servant before him.
Seon Woo-yeon glanced awkwardly at the Alien before her, the somewhat lanky yet tall man was sitting curled into himself in a small child-sized stool with a look of depression on his face.
"Then go do that."
"Hm?" The crown of his head moved away from Seon Woo-yeon's view as sanpaku eyes stared up at her.
"..."
"Le- Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. You must develop some hobbies." Seon Woo-yeon stated firmly. "It can be as simply as art or maybe even volunteering like me."
"... I see." Kim Ki-ryeo murmured glancing at the laughing children who ducked and giggled.
Seon Woo-yeon glanced to the side as well before lowering her voice slightly.
"Hunter... Alien or not, you are now living among us humans... does the hunter maybe want to discover a bit more."
Kim Ki-ryeo left the building scribbling onto his notebook.
"The Earth has Seon Woo-yeon...... +123"
A miraculous planet filled with its uniquely shaped tall life forms, their personalities, qualities and aspects all varying from one place to another.
Thats right, its the baby blue planet called Earth he'd once observed while living on a distant planet.
The cheap 2500 won spiral notebook blew gently in the wind, a familiar man, hair dyed gold and dressed in simple hospital attire.
Light afternoon wind swept the roof of the hospital gently, as the pen in Kim Ki-ryeo's hand spun back and forth in a repeated fashion.
His Sanpaku eyes glanced down at the bustling streets, watching people cheerfully walk home, hand in hand with one another.
Kim Ki-ryeo braced his cheek with the palm of his hand leaning back and forth on the railing.The resounding words of a certain pure-hearted B-ranker civil servant played on loop in the blond hunters head.
"Live life fulfilling and pursue hobbies..." the words were swept up by the wind, carried off to who knows where.
Now that the hunter thought about it wasn't his original goal to live a peaceful life of retirement?
"..."
'It's all because of that damn bastard Kang Chang-ho!' the blond man furiously shouted internally.
When it doubt pin the blame on someone else.
'That dragon eyed brat!' Memories of all the suffering Kim Ki-ryeo suffered under the force of the S-ranked hunter played in his head.
From the simple traitorous behavior to the events that occurred in the EX-class dungeon, Kim Ki-ryeo couldn't help but want to pull the mans hair out.
'No why is everything going like this?'
Kim Ki-ryeo, this man was truly pitiful, orphaned at a young age, taken advantage of by his mother, forced to work hard under sleepless nights and stress and eventually died one cold day.
Finally, as a cherry on top the man had lung cancer.
"Its a good thing it doesn't affect me..." The strongest wizard had regained a portion of his original strength and magical prowllness back, if he looked at it now, ignoring the ruptured lung.
Kim Ki-ryeo was currently the strongest hunter in the world, standing as the first and only SS-ranked hunter on the baby blue planet.
"Yet despite this..."
'WHY!' Ever since the tumor, amnesia and more had been revealed to the eccentric Hunters everything seemed to have gone down hill.
Nearly all of his day was packed with the frequent visits with hunters and more.
Whats more... Ki-ryeo couldn't help but sigh.
Kim Ki-ryeo wasn't there to witness it but apparently all 3 of Korea's S-class hunters had showed up at the same time bearing all sorts of expensive gifts for their bedridden friend.
Seo Esther had bags of expensive suits from her brothers clothing store and a small secret soothing gift packed under the clothes in hopes of relieving the blond hunters pain.
Jeong Ha-seong had scoured the market for any possible elixirs that could clear cancer. His search was futile though that only made him work harder, purchasing any gift he believed would be suitable for his teacher.
Kang Chang-ho... no that man didn't bring any gifts, just the reimbursement money he'd owed him for destroying his house and body, and some insincere apologies.
"That Shameless purple lump..."
Not only did he not bring anything for his "beloved" sick "friend" he even got into a fight with the other S-rankers...
Part of the bottom floor of the Hospital had turned into a battle ground for those three, of course they tried to steer their fight a bit out and away from the hospital but even then damage had been done.
Kim Ki-ryeo had just been eating his lunch when the news had reported the event on the TV leaving his mouth agape.
'To think these S-class hunters have so much time...' Kim Ki-ryeo couldn't help but mourn the fate of Korea, the comments of netizens certainly didn't help...
Eventually the three had been banned from the hospital, and received an earful from their guilds and or the government.
Instead Ki-ryeo ended up spending the day with a sweet tearful A-class defense hunter, an enchanter and a black haired civil worker.
"I should just retire..."
Kim Ki-ryeo didn't want to commit to anything anymore, he just wanted to follow the words of Seon Woo-yeon, to live and enjoy the things he wanted to do.
Glancing down at the spiral notebook, that had been flipped to a certain page titled "Eradication of mankind" Kim Ki-ryeo couldn't help but groan.
His original plan had been thwarted, Seon Woo-yeon existence simply outclassed all the negative aspects of the humans he'd seen.
'To think she could even make up for the amount of points Kang Chang-ho lost...'
Kim Ki-ryeo sighed flipping the page over to a black one.
"Bucket List"
Thats right. Kim Ki-ryeo was going to attain that peaceful life one way or another.
Minimum 8 goals to attain before the end of next year
"Hmmm... I heard the gelato in Italy is good... I wonder how it taste in comparison to Japans..."
