The S-Classes That I Raised

if he could not remember anything.’

I looked up at Hyunjae Sung as I sat on a boulder.

“It’s not much.”

He would not remember and would probably force me to speak if I remained silent to the end.
It would be better to speak up first.

“I returned from five years into the future by using an item.”

“All right.”

Hyunjae Sung spoke like he had heard something trivial that happened once every month.
The lump in my throat loosened at his tone, and I spoke as if nothing was wrong.

“Don’t you have any questions like whether the Sesung Guild Leader is alive or dead? I’ll tell you a couple of things out of goodwill.”

A cloud of light that moved delicately according to its owner’s will appeared from his fingertips at my words.

“It’s about five years’ worth.”

Was he talking about his skill experience? That he would be living after five years?

“You seemed to be alive but missing.”

“That’s odd.”

“You were suspected of murdering Department Head Taewon Song before you disappeared.”

Hyunjae Sung tilted his head as I asked, my eyes wondering if the suspicion was correct.

“I cannot think of a reason I would do such a thing right now.”

“Perhaps he was in the way of organizing the Hunter Association?”

“It’s boring without an audience.
Moreover, the association is too small to compensate.”

Too small? However, an S class hunter would be missed since they were not rocks rolling on the ground.
Hyunjae Sung seemed to value human resources on his terms as he kept MKC and Sudam Guild Leaders alive.
Well, I might have to remove the word human since he did not treat them as such.

“However, you two would not have been strangers since you have that loot skill.”

Taewon Song would not have handed in his primary skill when he was alive and well.
I did not know how he gave it to Hyunjae Sung, while I could make a vague guess.

“How about asking the person in question why he would give me his skill before dying?”

“I feel like he would strangle me again.”

Taewon Song would look at me if I were crazy.
I might ask him because I was curious about how he would actually react.

“And…let’s go out if you don’t have any questions.
You wouldn’t remember it anyway.”

“How about you?”

“Ah, I had lived like I am now, so I have nothing to say.”

Hyunjae Sung would think of my life story as trivial.
He opened his mouth as I stood up from the boulder.

“I congratulate you on repairing your relationship with your younger brother.”

I felt faint for a minute, so I did not know what I had felt at his words.
The ensuing silence might have been either long or short.

“…Your memories?”

“I don’t remember anything.”

“Then, are you really trying to become a fortune-teller?”

“When someone comes back to the past, he or she would act on their deepest desires.
That desire would be something that the individual had regretted the most in the future.
Based on my current state, you returned about two months ago, and that was when you became closer to your younger brother.”
