Chapter 371: Home Sweet Home (1)
It had been over three months since I came back to Babylon. During that time, I had spent time with Raviel, established new diplomatic relations with the underground civilization, sent Kim Pollock in high school, spent more time with Raviel, and caught up on a lot of backlog. It had been a good and worthwhile time.
On the hundredth day, I suddenly looked up. “I need to climb the Tower again.”
There was a moment of silence. I was lying on the couch reading a magazine, which contained my interview.
“What is Kim Gong-Ja’s definition of Hunter?”
“One hundred answers to everything you need to know about the Hunter industry!”
Such silly subtitles. Who even read this?
“That’s sudden. Why?” the Black Witch asked after the initial shock wore off.
Anastasha was sitting in the armchair opposite mine, reading the same magazine as I was. Funnilly enough, she was the cover model of this magazine. The picture on the cover seemed to have used everything in human civilization to embody the concept of nobility.
At this very moment, Anastasha was lounging like a typical older sister on a Sunday evening, chewing on a dried squid leg. She was even wearing a Korean high school gym uniform[1] that I had no idea where she had gotten it from. It made me want to ask if Ukrainian schools also had maroon gym uniforms or if Ukrainians also had dried squid legs as snacks.
Still, everything about Anastasha was perfect right now—her posture, her facial expressions, even the chewing sounds she made as she ate the dried squid leg. It was the perfect portrayal of a jobless Korean person. Everything was so natural that I had no choice but to accept it as it was.
“No, I feel like I’m going to rot if I stay here any longer. I think my head is going to mold because of all the dampness inside,” I grumbled.
One by one, my friends looked up. This was the shared living room of our lodging. In the evening, after work, we all gathered here without making appointments. The Countess, the Viper, and the Inquisitor all looked up at the same time in perfect harmony.
