The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 18

Immediately after clearing the Tokyo Gate, the Maze Gates that had occurred throughout Japan were conquered.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens who had been swallowed by the gates came streaming out through the exits one after another.

All of Japan’s broadcasting stations aired this scene live.

Families having joyful reunions and citizens supporting injured hunters.

These moving scenes spread throughout the world.

The remaining 20 countries that witnessed this broadcast couldn’t help but feel envy and anxiety at the same time.

Japan, which cleared the gates just two days after they erupted, still suffered tremendous damage, so they became anxious about how serious the damage would be for the country that received Korea’s support last.

“You better be grateful that Hyeongtaek is safe.”

After confirming the safety of Ohyeongtaek, who had dramatically returned from the Tokyo Gate, Nara expressed fierce dissatisfaction toward the Japanese government.

Their failure to actively deploy hunters, their silence in response to requests for healer reinforcements, the poor condition of items offered as compensation, and so on.

Nara threatened that she would not forget this humiliation and boarded a plane bound for Korea.

“Sis, did I become famous in Korea?”

“Don’t even mention it. Do you know how much the fans cursed at me to hurry up and save you?”

Hyeongtaek burst into refreshing laughter.

“I should dress up nicely for the press conference.”

Pfft, Nara burst into laughter at Hyeongtaek’s joke.

Hyeongtaek had made an effort to cheer up Nara, who was still fuming with anger.

Knowing this, Nara relaxed her expression and sank deeply into her airplane seat.

“Ugh, I’m not even going to look east for a while.”

“Please put on a face pack and rest, Guild Leader.”

Kim Jinwoon, who was Nara’s secretary and vice guild leader, handed a mask pack to Nara, who was trembling with both fists.

“Yeah, get me the mist from my bag.”

Nothing was more reliable than Yebichnna’s products for improving her mood. Nara took out the mist that Yebichnna had given her as a gift and sprayed it until her face was thoroughly soaked.

“Phew, I feel like I can live now.”

Nara flared her nostrils and exhaled a thin breath.

“I’m going to sleep. Beautiful women need lots of sleep.”

After Nara carefully applied the mask pack and fell asleep with her eyes closed, Jinwoon carefully put headphones on her ears.

“Wake up, President, I mean Guild Leader.”

“Mmm.”

“We’ve arrived.”

“Huh? Already?”

Nara entered the immigration hall still drowsy from sleep.

“It’s Shinnara!”

“Ohyeongtaek is with her too!”

Sure enough, a crowd holding cameras and microphones charged toward her like monsters. No, they showed even more madness than usual.

As soon as Nara saw the reporters, she hurriedly put on sunglasses. She couldn’t show her bare face to the reporters swarming like bees.

Flashes went off from all directions and a barrage of questions poured down.

It was completely different from what she had expected to receive questions about the gates or Hunter Ohyeongtaek.

“Guild Leader Shin, what’s the secret to your glowing skin?!”

“Huh?”

“Did you secretly get skin treatments in Japan?!”

“What the…”

Speechless at the unexpected questions, Nara ultimately didn’t answer any questions.

Nara yielded the reporters’ flashes and barrage of questions to Hyeongtaek and left the airport with a tired face, getting into a vehicle.

Then she habitually checked to see if any articles had been posted.

Having once dreamed of being a celebrity, she had a habit of checking photos of herself taken by the media.

“Honestly, the world is in chaos but look at these headlines.”

[K-Hunter Shinnara Shows Off Her Sparkling Skin]

[What’s the Skincare Secret of Hunter Shin Who Glows Even at the Airport?]

Though her mouth was complaining, her eyes were curved like crescents as she read the articles.

As if she couldn’t remember herself from earlier, cursing about the useless questions.

“Oh, my skin really does look good in the photos?”

Looking at several article photos, all showed flawless skin without any embarrassing shots. Her skin looked particularly radiant and good today, which made it understandable why the reporters had asked so many questions.

“Jinwoon, why does my skin look especially good today? Which brand was that mask pack?”

“It’s the same one you always use.”

Nara hummed while checking her face in the mirror attached above the passenger seat.

At that moment.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

Nara let out a loud scream. This caused Jinwoon, who was driving, to slam on the brakes urgently.

“Argh! What is it, what!”

As Jinwoon angrily turned his head toward Nara, she muttered with an expression as if a screw was loose somewhere.

“My, my… why is my skin so good?”

“What?”

Jinwoon made an expression as if he’d heard all kinds of crazy talk.

He was startled enough to slam the brakes, and this is what she says…

As Jinwoon tried to calm his surprised heart and start the car again, Nara thrust her face right in front of his nose.

“No, Jinwoon. Really look at me up close.”

At the suddenly narrowed distance, Jinwoon hurriedly pulled his face back.

“Ah, please don’t do this. I’m driving.”

“Look properly, will you?”

This time Nara grabbed both his cheeks and pulled his face toward her. Nara’s eyes with blue colored lenses were too close.

“The age spots and blemishes under my eyes are completely gone! The nasolabial folds that were here aren’t visible now either!”

“I, I don’t know. Wasn’t it always like that?”

Jinwoon quickly escaped from her grasp. His earlobes, only looking straight ahead, were red as ripe fruit.

“Even though my skin was originally good, it wasn’t this good. This is strange…”

Nara looked in the mirror again and tilted her head.

If it had just gotten a little better than usual, she would have dismissed it as being due to sleeping well on the plane, but did it make sense for age spots and blemishes under her eyes to disappear overnight?

As Nara rummaged through her bag looking for a hand mirror, a small mist bottle caught in her hand.

“Huh?”

A bottle with the engraving ‘Wihyang’.

Nara stared at it for a long time before moving her plump lips.

“No way, could it be…?”

* * *

“Hello, Jinseong.”

Professor Seong, who had been summoned by Jinseong, hurried to the top floor of the Hunter Association.

Since she could count on her fingers the times she’d been called directly to Jinseong’s room, she thought this must be no ordinary matter.

She hurriedly packed her things and carefully opened the bedroom door.

Jinseong stood in front of the huge window with his upper body undressed.

“Yes, hello.”

“You didn’t come for your appointment that day, so I was worried. But then I saw the news that you suddenly conquered the Japanese Gate – do you know how shocked I was?”

Professor Seong opened the bag she brought and laid out various medical instruments.

“My heart dropped when I saw the witness testimonies. How could you release magic power like that? Did you forget how severe your paralysis symptoms have been lately?”

Professor Seong moved her mouth non-stop while laying out dozens of sharp needles on the bed.

Professor Seong, who had been a traditional Korean medicine doctor, had awakened as the unique type called a traditional medicine healer.

“Please lie down. I’ll check your pulse.”

As Jinseong lay down on the spacious bed, Professor Seong placed her fingers on his wrist and activated her skill.

“Pulse Reading.”

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.

Professor Seong, who had been quietly checking his pulse with her eyes closed, gasped sharply.

“W-wait a moment. Let me check your pulse again…”

With an expression of disbelief, she stammered while trembling as she checked his pulse once more.

“No, this is…”

Even using the skill again, the result was the same.

“The poisoning symptoms… have improved. I can clearly feel it.”

The flow of qi that had been rigidly blocked due to mana poisoning was now flowing more smoothly than before.

This was a condition that couldn’t be improved by any healing arts, potions, or items…

Her lost gaze met Jinseong’s eyes.

“You received treatment from Yebichnna… didn’t you? That’s it, right?”

“Yes.”

Jinseong answered honestly. He had heard from Yebichnna that Professor Seong already knew about it.

“So it was real… haha.”

Professor Seong seemed to lose all her strength as she collapsed into the chair with a thud.

“My lifelong wish… has been fulfilled. Thanks to Yebichnna.”

As Professor Seong spoke those words, a sparkling liquid glistened in the corners of her eyes.
