The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 68
The VVIP ward of Seong Hospital. Unlike the outside, the air here was filled with vitality and energy.
Seondonguk’s recovery speed was truly miraculous. Just a few days ago, he had to rely on a wheelchair, but now he could walk around the hospital room easily with crutches.
It was a miracle brought about by South Korea’s finest medical team, of course, along with Shinnara and Sohee’s intensive care, and above all, the miraculous physical regeneration ability unique to S-rank Hunters.
Despite having slept for three long years, it was hard to find any trace of illness in Seondonguk’s appearance.
Except for being slightly thinner, his once pale skin had regained a healthy complexion, and his dry, cracked lips had become moist and full of life again.
Shinnara, who had been carefully observing Seondonguk’s condition, felt pleased but pouted her lips and spoke grumpily.
“Honestly, I came here to lend a hand as an S-rank Healer. But I’m useless, completely useless. With just one of Yebichnna’s items, recovery is complete. Don’t I not need to come anymore?”
Seondonguk leaned against his crutches and burst into refreshing laughter.
“Hey, why are you being so sulky? Still, having you come and keep me company gives me so much strength.”
At that kind and innocent smile, Shinnara shrugged her shoulders as if she had lost.
She turned toward Jinwoon, who was quietly reviewing documents nearby, her eyes sparkling as she continued speaking.
“Jinwoon, about that small bouquet item Yebichnna made. Could you ask if mass production is possible? With just one of those, you could save even someone who’s dying. Then a world where Healers like me aren’t needed would come, and I could finally retire and travel around the world!”
Shinnara began persuading Jinwoon with an excited tone, as if she was already imagining her post-retirement life.
Jinwoon pushed up his glasses and nodded repeatedly.
“I don’t know about other Healers, but Guild Leader Shinnara would certainly be able to retire. Your business sense is outstanding.”
Jinwoon’s eyes gleamed sharply like clicking abacus beads as he looked at the bouquet.
Shinnara clapped her hands with an excited face.
“Right? Thanks to Yebichnna, I must have made a lot of money, I could really retire now. Do you know how many guilds are lining up right now just asking for one of Yebichnna’s items? The phone lines are practically on fire.”
While the two were busy planning business, the hospital room door opened roughly and Shinnara entered.
She threw off her large pink sunglasses and red mask and flopped onto the sofa.
“Ugh! I’m really going crazy! I’m absolutely dying here!”
“What’s wrong now?”
“I mean, why are these damn reporters so persistent! I peel them off and they stick back on, they’re no different from leeches! And besides reporters, there are so many others begging for handouts! Now they’re asking me to sell autographs or charms since there are no items left. I’m so sick of it, really!”
At Sohee’s complaints, Shinnara chuckled and asked.
“So do you regret agreeing to be a stand-in? Want to reveal that it’s not really you even now?”
Sohee shook her head in disgust.
“No way! When I think of our master going through this humiliation, my teeth chatter even in my sleep. It’s better that I endure it instead. At least I can yell at them all to get lost!”
“Yes! That’s the right attitude! Even if we had to choose a stand-in, how did we find such a reliable one? I really like it.”
Sohee now turned her arrow toward Jinwoon and pointed at him.
“You there, Middle-aged Man! Don’t pressure our master to make more items. What if our master collapses from exhaustion? Will you take responsibility?”
Jinwoon replied coldly without moving a muscle.
“We’re already extremely limiting quantities through a premium strategy. There’s no need for mass production, so don’t worry. And…”
He flashed sharp eyes from behind his glasses.
“We’re not that far apart in age.”
Sohee snorted and turned her head away.
“That way of talking already makes you seem like a middle-aged man!”
Seondonguk, who had been watching them bicker, spoke up kindly.
“Sohee, aren’t you coming to my hospital room too often?”
Sohee buried herself deep in the sofa and flailed her legs.
“I came here to rest while pretending to treat Oppa! This is the only refuge where I can breathe!”
After finishing her words, Sohee suddenly got up and flopped down on Seondonguk’s bed.
Shinnara crossed her arms and warned.
“You’ll be in big trouble if Seo Eunhae catches you doing that.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the hospital room door opened and Seo Eunhae entered.
Sohee sprang up like a spring and awkwardly bowed.
“Oh, hello, ma’am!”
“…Since when has Sohee been a patient?”
A subtle chill could be felt behind Seo Eunhae’s gentle smile. As Sohee smiled awkwardly and tidied the disheveled blankets, Eunhae spread out the lunch box bundles she had brought with both hands full on the table.
Everyone’s mouths fell open at the tremendous quantity and colorful array of dishes.
“It’s been so long since I’ve cooked since Seondonguk woke up, I’m not sure if it’ll suit your taste.”
Eunhae smiled shyly, but her face was full of joy at being able to cook for her child.
“Everyone eat well.”
Everyone was amazed wondering who could eat all this tremendous amount that would be more than enough even if everyone here ate their fill, then remembered that Seondonguk was famous as a ‘big eater’ in the past.
Seondonguk quickly picked up his chopsticks.
“I need to eat a lot and build muscle quickly.”
At those words, the hands of people picking up chopsticks stopped. Sohee asked carefully.
“…Don’t tell me, you’re going to enter Gates again?”
Seondonguk took a big spoonful of rice and smiled brightly.
“Isn’t that why heaven woke me up?”
In the hospital room wrapped in silence, everyone watched Seo Eunhae’s reaction as if walking on thin ice.

Meanwhile, at Gangjinseong’s exclusive training ground located on the 20th floor of the Hunter Association basement.
“I surrender! I surrender! Stop!”
Ohyeongtaek fell to the ground covered in dust, screaming.
His entire body was drenched in sweat as he gasped for breath.
“Hyung! Are you really trying to kill me?!”
Though Ohyeongtaek shrieked loudly, Jinseong paid no attention and readied his practice sword again, looking ready to charge.
Ohyeongtaek backed away quickly in horror.
“Wait, wait! Is this really training? It seems like there’s too much personal emotion involved!”
“Pick up your sword.”
Jinseong’s answer was cold and brief. Ohyeongtaek still didn’t pick up his sword and slowly increased the distance.
“Come on, isn’t it too much to do this just because I went to the Hunter Market with noona once!”
Jinseong’s gaze instantly dropped below freezing.
“You’ll really die if you don’t.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jinseong mercilessly charged at Ohyeongtaek.
Ohyeongtaek instinctively rolled his body to avoid Jinseong’s attack while his mouth didn’t rest.
“This is unfair! Hyung had a cozy meal with noona! I haven’t even gotten to eat one meal yet!”
Jinseong’s eyebrows twitched.
“…How did you know about that?”
“Of course I know because I keep in contact with noona!”
“…You even contact her?”
The moment Jinseong’s voice dropped low, the entire training ground shook.
Despite not using any skills, the pure magical power emanating from him exploded with a CRASH! sound and struck Ohyeongtaek.
It was a murderous aura fierce enough to stimulate an S-rank Hunter’s survival instincts.
“Wow, you’re really determined to kill me!”
Ohyeongtaek quickly deployed a magical shield to deflect Jinseong’s attack and ran away.
The floor where Ohyeongtaek had been standing was already deeply gouged.
“We should play fair! What’s with overpowering with strength! That’s cowardly, Gangjinseong!”
Ohyeongtaek shouted as he ran far away.
Jinseong, left alone in the training ground, steadied his rough breathing and glared in the direction Ohyeongtaek had disappeared.
“Fair play…?”
He muttered lowly and gripped the practice sword in his hand tightly.
Crack. The sword couldn’t withstand his grip strength and shattered into pieces.
The emotion called jealousy was making even the world’s strongest Hunter act so childishly.
