The Magic Hunter Girl Decorates a Dungeon! Episode 77
“Oh, already?”
“A booking fell through, so a time slot opened up. He just threw out a date and time on his own and told us to show up then.”
“What? That’s not right. An appointment is something both people agree on!”
“Exactly. This old man has a terrible personality. He even skips appointments he sets himself.”
…….
Lee Ji’s jaw dropped at this indescribable wickedness.
‘Keeping promises is something they teach you in kindergarten!’
“I really don’t want to meet someone like that…….”
“But his work is solid. And more than that, he’s the only one who’ll keep a client’s personal information 100% confidential.”
…….
Lee Ji’s heart was already bristling with thorns toward this Craftsman Hunter. A person isn’t defined solely by how well they do their work!
Geum Hee clicked her tongue.
“Sounds like quite the character. Lee Ji, let Grandma handle this. Don’t worry yourself.”
“That Hunter might dismiss you, though. Since you’re not the client.”
“Tsk.”
“Anyway, I’ll send the details to your email. So…….”
A moment later. The summoned friends vanished, and the Dungeon closed.
Lee Ji used her Moth Cloak to gradually distance herself from the Dungeon entrance. Behind her, the now-conscious managers were heard pleading before the workers.
“We’re so sorry. Before we opened the Dungeon, there was something we needed to confess to all of you!”
“The truth is…….”
Ah. Just hearing it was satisfying.
‘I did good work today! The hospital will have an easier time too!’
Meanwhile, the Hunters who’d heard the sudden confession were bewildered.
“What’s going on?”
“I mean, thanks for admitting you’re bastards, but…… did we all just get struck by lightning or something?”
‘Not lightning.’
It was the result of the Magic Girl’s friends working hard.
‘…… It’s fine that they don’t know.’
That’s what it means to be a Magic Girl.
Since she transforms inside the Dungeon, not on the street, the odds of anyone spotting her and spreading her name are low.
‘…… Sigh.’
A tiny, tiny bit of regret flickered through her mind.
Geum Hee, who had joined midway through, picked up her phone.
“The rabbit guy sent an email. That thing…… oof, look at all that text crammed in. You read it for me.”
“Sure!”
The guidance email began with Jin Si-heon’s explanation.
Do Hyeong-rang. Craftsman Hunter, Grade A.
He worked as an engineer at a major corporation for a long time before awakening suddenly ten years ago—one of the Early Hunters.
He’s stubborn and inflexible, with a strong conviction that he doesn’t work for money.
He makes conversation first, then decides whether to make equipment.
Lee Ji, if it were you, you’d handle it with courtesy, but Geum Hee ma’am—even if you want to flip the table during the conversation, please hold back a little. For ordinary people in their sixties, a broken bone becomes extremely problematic.
“What does this punk think of people? Athletes are people who resist the urge to throw someone more than anyone else.”
That’s all the content I received.
This much is a positive first response, so trust me and show up at the appointment location.
If you can’t because you have to go to School…… then it can’t be helped.

Songgane Siktak, 11 AM
The Craftsman’s email ended there. He didn’t even include the restaurant’s address.
Geum Hee laughed dryly.
“That old man’s pride reaches the heavens. Does he do business like this and somehow never get his nose broken, I wonder.”
“Hmm…… I have School that day.”
“Lee Ji. Have you ever skipped class?”
Lee Ji nodded seriously.
“No……. Not once.”
“Then there’s no helping it. There can’t be only one person in the world who makes weapons, right?”
…….
“If you go and that old man says he won’t make the equipment, you’ll have skipped for nothing. So don’t go—”
“Grandma. Could you tell my sister one small lie? I’m going to submit an Experience Learning form and skip.”
This is her first time cutting School. And asking an adult to lie for her—that’s even more unthinkable!
But sometimes there are moments when you have to make outlaw choices.
Geum Hee’s eyes widened at Lee Ji’s determined voice.
“You sure about this?”
“Yes. Mr. Jin Si-heon must have made the request with all his short front paws, right?”
Mr. Si-heon. Every time she saw him in the Dungeon lately, he was gripping a Touch Pen, pecking away earnestly at the keys.
It must have been hard work for him, given how patient he usually was…….
“I can’t ignore his sincerity!”
“…… I suppose. Let me find that restaurant’s address and see if there’s anything nearby worth visiting.”
“Okay!”
“But that rabbit guy—why doesn’t he use voice recognition instead of pecking away with those short front paws on the Touch Pen?”
“Oh, you’re right!”
“Well…… hmm.”
Suddenly, Geum Hee spotted an undeleted line at the bottom of Do Hyeong-rang’s reply. It must have been the opening of the email Jin Si-heon had sent to Do Hyeong-rang.
How have you been, Master Do Hyeong-rang.
In the time since we last spoke, the world has quietly turned to spring…….
‘So there’s a reason he doesn’t use voice recognition.’
The thought of Jin Si-heon speaking in such formal courtesies made her skin crawl.
“Just tell him to use his paws. Anyway, the location is…….”

Jongno-gu.
After taking a verification photo at a small Museum for her School, Lee Ji boarded the village bus. The whole way, Grandma complained.
“That old man. How does he set the meeting place at a raw fish restaurant? Did he not know a child would come?”
The “Songgane Siktak” that Grandma had found was indeed a raw fish restaurant.
“Even if he didn’t know, still. Taste varies from person to person.”
“Raw fish…… you don’t like it?”
She’d never eaten it before. She just knew the adults liked it.
“Kids don’t understand taste yet. Don’t worry. Grandma will order lots of corn cheese for you.”
“I know corn cheese! It’s delicious!”
“When the spicy fish stew comes, Grandma will flake some fish meat for you. You should eat lots of fish, right?”
“Yes!”
But the two of them’s aspirations were cut short. On the first floor of a raw fish restaurant, carved out of an old detached house in a corner of Jongno-gu, they ran into a barrier.
“Master Do Hyeong-rang arrived first. However, it’s a two-person room, so only one of your party can enter.”
“If only two people fit, is that a room or a coffin? How is that not an option?”
“It’s the reservation holder’s request. There’s nothing we can do.”
Geum Hee muttered under her breath. That old man…… may he live a very, very long life.
They’d come this far; they couldn’t turn back now. Lee Ji nodded with resolve.
Geum Hee already swallowed back tears as she handed over a Doll.
“If that old man acts like a jerk, use this. You remember, right?”
Molars Remember Everything (E+)

“If he’s past sixty, he’s probably had some implants.”
“Thank you so much!”
Lee Ji carefully placed the Doll in her pocket and climbed the stairs toward the second floor, a private room.
‘The Chrysanthemum Room is on the left, she said.’
As she turned into the hallway, Lee Ji missed the notice at adult eye-level that read: [Enter at 11 AM sharp!]
Soon, a sliding door appeared with a chrysanthemum elegantly painted on it.
‘It’s a cool room. I should be cool too!’
Before opening the door, Lee Ji took a moment to calm her nerves.
Meanwhile, voices of people came from beyond the door. Do Hyeong-rang, who had arrived early, seemed to be watching a drama.
[Just because she married my son, she’s gotten proud. You think you can even manage being the director’s wife? You need to know your place!]
[Mother-in-law, that doesn’t mean you had to humiliate me! My…… my daughter was watching!]
[Your daughter? She’s my granddaughter. Sigh. I raised my son to be too kind. Taking in someone else’s child!]
[Blood isn’t everything! The three of us……!]
The daughter-in-law actress rebutted, and the mother-in-law actress raised her voice even higher.
……And in between, a man’s sobs clearly sounded.
“You’re right. Family, real family isn’t about blood……!”
This vividness was absolutely not coming from a TV speaker.
‘What is this?’
There should only be Master Do Hyeong-rang in there.
The person Jin Si-heon had consistently called “the bad-tempered old man.”
Lee Ji knocked on the door.
