Magic Girl Hunter Redesigns the Dungeon! Episode 98
That day, three elementary schoolers were trapped in a dungeon.
On one side of the crowd, young and middle-aged adults receiving separate protection from police—their faces etched with worry—must have been the guardians of the schoolchildren.
Jun-seo’s guardian was easy to spot even if you rolled past them. A couple around average height 185 centimeters must have been Jun-seo’s parents.
Lee Ji said her family was only her sister, so she probably disappeared into the crowd and wasn’t visible.
‘…… It’s pitiful.’
In any case, by process of elimination, one person remained.
The one searching continuously for someone with a worried expression—the nurse Hyun-ji—must be…
‘…the guardian of that little boy Hong Sang-chul.’
They didn’t look alike, but a son might look different from his mother.
More than parents and children not resembling each other, Si-heon’s own current thoughts were rather unseemly.
‘Ugh…… No, really. I was trying not to think about that person! Setting aside the fact that he has a kid, he’s a nurse and I’m a patient! What nonsense am I thinking about someone working diligently at their job!’
But hospital life was tedious, and even his five senses weren’t intact. Once he’d started noticing someone, it was nearly impossible to stop—
May 8th. Parents’ Day.
When he saw clearly for the first time a face he’d only glimpsed through blurred vision beyond the Hospital’s haze.
Si-heon realized he could no longer go back to the past.
‘What virtuous thoughts to have on Parents’ Day…….’
Then Lee Ji suddenly entered his field of vision.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Huh? Oh. Did you finish clearing the dungeon?”
“Yes. In ten minutes the dungeon will be cleared, and today our reformed director is going out later to teach the new staff!”
“That works out well.”
“There weren’t any other cases on the internet that we could respond to?”
He didn’t always get tips only from unlicensed clinics. Sometimes Si-heon gathered information from online communities, verified it, and responded.
Si-heon thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“…… There isn’t.”
He could only pray that some talk show would solve the restroom problem.
“Besides, even if we found a problem dungeon, we couldn’t be sure we could go. You said you’d register at an academy soon, didn’t you?”
“I could go early in the morning when you’re not around…….”
“You can’t help others by sacrificing your own life. If you do that, eventually both you and those you help will collapse together.”
When Si-heon said this, Geum-hui behind him threw up a thumbs-up.
It seemed rare for Lee Ji to have someone giving her advice so coldly and straightforwardly.
‘True, fundamentally she’s such a good kid that there’s no need for it.’
Looking at those big eyes, the courage to say anything harsh disappeared.
But…….
“Yes. I won’t let us collapse!”
Lee Ji always accepted advice so sincerely that even the person who gave it genuinely felt satisfied.
‘That’s probably why Hyungkwang and Yeonggam sent her as a good client and sent grateful emails saying she doesn’t need a bag or shoes, and to tell them if there’s any weapon she wants to try…….’
Meanwhile, once their conversation seemed to end, Geum-hui approached with her phone.
“Did you get it too? Some notice text from the Hunter Association?”
“I blocked the Association’s texts as spam.”
“Something new was added to the official auction house.”
Geum-hui held out her phone. The Hunter Association’s official app screen was displayed.
“Lee Ji. You said before that it would be nice if there was a dungeon where you could use skills freely, right?”
“Oh, yes! Because of the Greenhouse!”
Lee Ji’s eyes sparkled as she answered.
The Greenhouse—her favorite decoration item!
Especially if she wanted to grow vegetables in the central flower bed, she’d need to check on it frequently.
Since it was such a large and ornate building, she felt awkward about taking it out and using it in other people’s dungeons.
“The Dodo Bird from the Alice Dungeon gave me a hint. If the Greenhouse catches the Heart Queen’s eye even one more time, she might not come storming in…….”
“If it’s a queen, she’s the landlord…… You can’t fall out of her favor.”
Renting a room is always difficult.
Of course, she hadn’t actually paid rent once in all that time.
“Grandmother, did you find a dungeon you could use freely?”
“It’s not free. An F-rank Dungeon appeared near Taekwon Road where things got chaotic before, and I heard it’ll go up for auction soon. There’s absolutely nothing inside it.”
“Near the Dinosaur Dungeon? Then isn’t it like a baby dungeon born from the Dinosaur Dungeon?”
Si-heon resolved that question.
“If the Association can’t even verify that much, the Association Chair’s head will roll, so don’t worry. Anyway, if you were to bid on that dungeon, Lee Ji, you’d have an easier time accessing it.”
“Oh, yes!”
“But sir. Not just anyone can bid on dungeons. You need to be a guild or corporation.”
Before Si-heon’s dampening words,
Geum-hui very naturally pointed between herself and Si-heon alternately—as if asking why he wasn’t breathing when there was oxygen.
“…… Sir, surely you don’t mean for us to form a guild together? Are you serious right now?”
“Why are you so startled? Did I just propose marriage?”
“Don’t make scary jokes! Anyway, I have no intention of forming a guild.”
“Why?”
“I’ve never joined a guild even once. But if Jin Si-heon creates a guild for the first time and has only one guild member? Curious people would all search for information about you.”
“Then I’ll make a fortune if someone brings canned coffee. Sounds good.”
“…….”
“And besides, I have no official activities anyway. Even if they tried to find me, they wouldn’t be able to.”
That was a fair point.
Jang Geum-hui’s dungeon activities were all conducted in the form of the bear named ‘Geum-hui.’
Still, Si-heon stumbled in his refusal.
“That’s…… true, but…… I still have no intention of joining a guild.”
In his mind, he knew.
The ‘guild’ Jang Geum-hui spoke of was merely a tool for dungeon bidding, and their bond wouldn’t particularly solidify as colleagues.
Yet the old Jin Si-heon, who’d resolved not to have any more companions, was fiercely rejecting the very situation of his name being placed beside someone else’s.
‘Even I think my reaction is childish.’
“Suit yourself.”
Fortunately, Geum-hui didn’t press further, and Lee Ji didn’t insist.
“It’ll be hard to enter the Greenhouse for a while, then…….”
“All sorts of people trampled through the Dinosaur Dungeon anyway. The lettuce and young radish seeds probably blew away too. Since there’s nothing to tend, just take it easy.”
It didn’t seem like good consolation.
At the mention of losing her emergency food supply, Lee Ji’s expression seemed close to tears.
Si-heon sighed internally.
‘Does she want to use the Greenhouse prettily like a Magic Girl should, or practically?’
Probably even Lee Ji didn’t know the answer.
“Then let’s head out. Thank you for your time.”
“See you next time. Though I’m not sure when that’ll be.”
“Sir…….”
Before canceling the Summoning, Lee Ji asked one last time.
“Once we have our own dungeon, wouldn’t it be nice for you to come out of the Hospital more often? It’s boring there.”
“That’s enough. Now that I’ve recovered two pieces of my Soul, hospital life is bearable.”
“I see…….”
The moment the Summoning was canceled, Si-heon murmured in a small voice.
“…… Thank you for always worrying about me without fail.”
Only the Grimoire heard those words as Si-heon disappeared.

Title: Identity of the Warrior of Justice
Post: Is that Han Cheon-hyeok or not?
They say he cleared a C-rank Dungeon alone
[Comments]
-Definitely not.. Did you not see the footage shot after the dungeon ended
-[OP] ??? I don’t know, but they say he made people work with a Domination Skill in the dungeon, doesn’t that fit the warrior perfectly
-My warrior would never do that apologize
Title: Is there a newbie here who doesn’t know what Han Cheon-hyeok is? Watch the video and understand
Post: Explained in 5 seconds
In the video posted on the thread,
a man wearing a name tag reading ‘Han Cheon-hyeok,’ his face wet with black liquid, ran his hand through his hair and spoke smugly.
If you’re S-rank, you should be able to do at least this much, right?
[Comments]
-I’m the guy who wrote the post below, sorry, this is Jin Si-heon speaking in formal tone
-If this guy played the hero, I’d bet 100 won he had a photo session in front of employees every time he cleared a dungeon
Title: But doesn’t Han Cheon-hyeok have a guild? The warrior’s identity is completely unknown
Post: I heard both ATK Guild and Gunzaran Guild want him
If the people involved happen to be lurking here, contact your guild
[Comments]
-I bet 10,000 won the poster is a member of ATK or Gunzaran Guild
So cheesy with the marketing. If you’re a large guild, use money to find people, don’t do third-rate viral marketing in the community
-Warrior sir, are you watching? I love you, thanks to you I escaped from a black company@@
