Chapter 51
* * *
Thud!
Hana woke up as he rolled right off the bed.
“….”
The first thing he saw was the upside-down door.
“…What kind of dream was that….”
Hana, who had been lying there dazed, suddenly sat up.
Though this was the second time, he was familiar with this vivid feeling that didn’t seem like a dream.
“Wait. This isn’t a dream!”
Hana hurriedly opened the system window.
【SYSTEM】
【Reward distribution for ‘Lost Memory Fragment x2’ has been completed.】
As expected, what happened earlier wasn’t some crazy dream but his own memory.
“Let me think, but how did this happen? I’m sure I only recently became a Hunter?”
But in the dream, he had already completed his rookie Hunter training.
He had used skills skillfully.
He was someone’s senior.
“What is this? Are these really my memories?”
【SYSTEM】
【OxO】
“Seriously. When I need answers, you stay quiet.”
The system window that usually chattered annoyingly now kept its mouth shut at times like this.
Hana closed his eyes again and carefully went over the dream step by step.
Then, remembering the last voice he heard right before waking up from the dream, his eyes snapped open.
‘I’m Seo Ganghyeon. Let’s see each other often, senior.’
“Gasp!”
Seo Ganghyeon.
The moment he repeated that name, the ash-gray eyes he had seen in the dream came vividly to mind.
“Could it be… the Seo Ganghyeon I know?”
Were Seo Ganghyeon and he originally acquainted?
But why was Seo Ganghyeon calling him senior?
“Nothing about this makes sense from start to finish.”
Feeling he couldn’t leave it like this, Hana fully sat up.
He felt like he needed to go find Kang Hyeon and ask him something to relieve this frustration.
But Hana let out a silent scream when he saw his appearance in the mirror.
His hair, which had shot up to the sky and become disheveled as if he had been hanging upside down somewhere all night, was quite a sight to behold.
And what about his puffy eyes.
“If I go like this, I’ll get kicked out before I can even ask anything.”
Hana hurriedly began fixing his hair.
Taking advantage of this moment, his existing status window faintly appeared above Hana’s head.
Though Hana failed to notice it this time as well.
【SYSTEM】
[※정보 복구율 25%—-※]

【Status: Incomplete Recovery / Form: Simplified】
【Only 10% of original performance is implemented. A certain amount of stamina is consumed upon summoning.】
The window soon disappeared without a trace.
When Hana looked up, only a new system window was floating there.
【SYSTEM】
【Upgrade of weapon ‘■■■ ■■'(User-bound)(■-rank) has been completed. Would you like to summon it? [Y/N]】
His weapon had been upgraded?
Hana, who had been pressing his hood down over his messy hair, hesitated for a moment before pressing the accept button.
Then golden effects wrapped around his palm.
The rippling light gradually condensed and began taking shape.
“Will something decent come out this time?”
The weapon that had changed form finally revealed itself above Hana’s hand as he watched with half expectation, half anxiety.
So the new weapon was, well.
A water gun.
Yes, it was a water gun.
More precisely, a pistol-shaped water gun.
It was even more absurd because the shape was so well-implemented that at first glance it looked exactly like a real pistol.
“….”
The strength left Hana’s shoulders after his brief moment of hope.
Hana pressed the lever of the water gun that perfectly resembled a trigger.
Then it made a weak ‘pew’ sound as a pathetic blue light shot out.
It was an effect with neither threat nor dignity.
“Is this really supposed to be better?”
The slingshot seemed better than this.
Feeling embarrassed about his brief moment of expectation, Hana disappointedly dismissed the water gun.
“I had pointless expectations because I saw something weird in my dream.”
Hana, who had pushed even the hair sticking out into his hood, left the bed and grasped the door handle of the guest room.
He had wasted time on something pointless.
He was about to quickly turn the handle to go ask Kang Hyeon about the dream when.
Click.
The door suddenly swung wide open.
Because of this, Hana, who had been standing defenseless in front of the door, jumped up in place.
“You scared me!”
Seo Ganghyeon was standing outside the door.
Seeing Kang Hyeon already neatly dressed, Hana fidgeted with his toes for no reason.
He felt ashamed of his disheveled, natural state compared to the neat Kang Hyeon.
“There was just an energy wave. Did you cause it, Yun Hana?”
Hana blinked his eyes and then clapped his hands, saying “Ah.”
“Ah, was it because of this? My weapon changed so I summoned it briefly.”
Hana summoned the pathetic water gun again.
Golden effects briefly flashed and disappeared above his palm, then the pistol-shaped water gun revealed itself.
Kang Hyeon’s gaze naturally moved in that direction.
After confirming the energy wave, he nodded once.
“That seems to be it.”
Then his gaze lingered a bit longer on the water gun in Hana’s hand.
But the way he looked at the water gun seemed like he was looking at something pitiful—surely that was just his imagination?
Hana felt embarrassed for no reason and hastily dismissed the water gun.
“By the way, I was actually about to go see you, Seo Ganghyeon. This worked out well.”
“To see me? Do you need something?”
“No, it’s not that. I had a dream and in it, Seo Ganghyeon, you were—”
Hana, who had been chattering away, casually looked up.
Then, meeting Kang Hyeon’s eyes that were staring straight at him, Hana was momentarily speechless.
Seeing them directly, the hollow grayish eyes from his dream looked even more similar to Seo Ganghyeon’s eyes right in front of him.
Could the person in my memories really be Seo Ganghyeon?
Kang Hyeon, who didn’t notice Hana’s serious expression, slowly curved his lips upward.
“You had a dream with me in it?”
That too overlapped with the image of the smoothly smiling junior from his dream.
From Hana’s mouth, his instincts were about to burst out somewhat impulsively, cutting straight to the point.
Far from speaking coherently, he was just about to bluntly ask if they had known each other before.
Kang Hyeon’s phone rang.
Kang Hyeon checked the caller ID showing Han Tae-ho and answered the phone.
“Yes.”
A low voice speaking rapidly could be heard intermittently through the speaker.
Kang Hyeon’s eyes narrowed as he listened silently.
“You’re certain?”
Hana’s ears perked up.
The call wasn’t long. The other party finished the main topic and ended the call in less than a minute.
“Understood. We’ll have him stay here for the time being.”
Hana, who had been listening to the phone conversation, furrowed his brow.
Although he couldn’t hear the content, there’s such a thing as intuition.
Hana vaguely guessed that the subject of that call was himself.
“That call was about me, wasn’t it?”
Kang Hyeon nodded briefly.
“The Vice-Chairman is certain that Yun Hana is the Hunter he’s looking for. It seems the Jeok-wol Guild Master can’t handle the situation.”
“Then what should we do?”
“I’d like you to stay here for the time being until the situation stabilizes.”
“Until when?”
“Well. We’ll have to wait and see for the exact timing.”
Hana was overwhelmed with a sense of dismay.
Finding out about his recovered memories was important, but there was something more urgent right now.
“That won’t work.”
“What do you mean?”
“My garden.”
Kang Hyeon’s eyebrow rose subtly.
“The crops in my garden change condition if left alone for even a day. The leaves wilt like ghosts if the watering schedule is off by even a little!”
Hana rattled off his words without taking a breath.
Plus, he needed to plant the lettuce he got yesterday. Abandoning his garden indefinitely?
“And do you know how fast weeds grow? After a day or two, it’s just a jungle.”
There’s so much to do every single day!
What should he do about this?
‘What if I can’t gain experience points or recover more memories because of this?’
That can’t happen!
Hana, who had been wracking his brain in worry, soon looked up with determination.
“I guess there’s only one way.”
And he declared resolutely.
“I need to clear out my garden.”
“…What?”
Hana clenched both fists and strained his neck.
“The crops in my garden. I need to bring them all here before they wither and die.”
