Tone-Deaf Healer Kills with Song – Episode 119
“Hey, Ye-ah! So this is how I finally get you to answer. Even my annoying brother Dante has his uses. I’m so happy to see you!”
The moment I called, she launched into a frenetic mix of English and Korean.
If I’d known she missed me this much, I should have reached out sooner.
My chat window had become so chaotic that I’d set my status to “away” or “offline” frequently—and now this was the consequence.
Jung Hwan-jae had emphasized more than once that opening direct messages was practically suicidal, so I’d kept that closed too.
I put on the translation device and opened my mouth.
“Hello, Rosalind. How have you been?”
He’d mentioned that around the 800-rank mark, hunters occasionally networked, but within the top 100, people were desperate to squeeze in even a single word of conversation.
Since the group chat was the same way, I didn’t want to go against his advice.
“Well, I’m doing fine in this boring Nike. Oh, you’re using a translation device?”
“My English isn’t that great, so…”
“That’s funny—you understood everything I said just fine. Anyway, have you heard from Dante?”
“He went into an artificial Dungeon with one of our Guild members to clear it.”
“He’s clearing Dungeons in a foreign country?”
A voice like a scream came through the phone, exasperated and incredulous.
Anyone would react this way if someone casually showed up in another country and entered a Dungeon without explanation.
Rosalind was being perfectly reasonable.
“I think you know what he came to investigate, and things were going well until we hit a snag that needs solving.”
“I know Fusion Dungeons keep appearing. It’s happening in our country too.”
“The United States as well?”
I glanced sideways at Jung Hwan-jae.
He was the kind of person who could hear this volume clearly even without speakerphone.
“I was supposed to tell Dante this, but he wouldn’t pick up. But since Ye-ah is on our side, I can tell you, right?”
“You’re suddenly giving me this mission…?”
“Just listen carefully and pass it along—that’s all!”
Rosalind, laughing cheerfully, went on to explain the situation.
Apparently, the Employee Killer Guild wasn’t something that originated in Korea—it had existed worldwide from the beginning.
In fact, Korea was the only place that didn’t have it, but at some point it appeared there, and because Korea had been without it, they lacked countermeasures.
Information about Fusion Dungeons was classified by country, but in other nations, they appeared at least once or twice a month without fail.
“I didn’t know either. I just thought hunters were dying one by one, you know? But Dante must have known. That’s probably why he suddenly thought he needed to go to Korea and see what happens when Staff members are killed and Fusion Dungeons appear.”
“But if it’s spread globally, doesn’t that mean it can’t be stopped?”
“That’s the thing—it’s been around for such a long time in other countries that it takes years to root out. But Korea is practically brand new to it. He probably thought it could be eliminated.”
“Hmm…”
But I had a deeply pessimistic feeling about it.
If it were that easy to solve, it wouldn’t have persisted all this time.
Evil that has taken root in the world for ages sometimes becomes unmanageable.
If there were a way, Nike would have stepped in and dealt with the Employee Killer Guild in the United States, and the same would be true for other countries.
This makes me suspect that the person named Yuko in Japan might have met the same fate.
“That person made the wrong choice.”
Liri, standing right beside me, had already explained it.
I’d never seen Lucy maintain his manifestation for such an extended period.
Liri seemed to be receiving a cup of coffee from Sung Ji-wook as well.
-And Korea has an overwhelming number of Rankers anyway. So it seems he wants to find the Employee Killer Guild here and test that method in the United States too.
“Oh….”
He hadn’t mentioned anything like that since arriving here.
If he had shared such intentions with genuine sincerity, I might have cooperated more actively.
…But I agree that I wouldn’t have answered anyway.
We were colleagues, but beyond that, we weren’t close enough to discuss such intimate national matters.
-Dante told me that if he doesn’t receive contact, he wants me to inform Ye-ah—not Jung Hwan, not anyone else, but Ye-ah.
“If I find out, then everyone in Hanttae—at least everyone who knows about the Employee Killer Guild—will all find out.”
-I know. He would’ve factored that in when he said it. Dante Brown is foolish and I don’t know what he’s thinking, but he’s not stupid to that degree.
I couldn’t tell if she was praising her older brother or trying to insult him.
The explanations that followed went like this.
Dante despises the Employee Killers and is working tirelessly alone to deal with them.
Because of that, within Nike, there’s talk that even for a Ranker, he doesn’t seem suited for such an important position, abandoning it to run around like this.
In other words, Dante’s standing within the Guild was becoming precarious.
“That shouldn’t happen, should it?”
-Actually, I called Ye-ah because I wanted to ask for that. I’d like you to send Dante back to the United States.
No matter how sloppy and self-centered my older brother is, she doesn’t want him to end up in such a dishonorable way.
Precisely because she knows that what Dante is doing is right, she finds it even more unbearable.
She didn’t want to see someone doing the right thing meet such an end, and above all, he’s her beloved older brother.
“Well, I’ll try to say something.”
In truth, Kim Kyung-hoon’s matter is limited to Korea.
Once we captured him and reported proper intelligence, there was no reason for Dante to go to such lengths.
I understand now the goodwill that Dante possesses.
-Ah, he’ll be listening, so tell Jung Hwan too. If it doesn’t work, I’d appreciate it if you could knock him out and put him on a plane!
Jung Hwan-jae, who had been holding even his breath beside me, blinked his eyes.
Rosalind had guessed and spoken accordingly, but she’d hit the mark precisely.
I extended the phone toward him. Jung Hwan-jae leaned in, bringing his face close to the phone.
“I’ll do my best. They say effort is always rewarded, after all.”
-Damn, could you use a translator?
「I’ll do my best to send him back with all his limbs intact.」
-I like that spirit!
Jung Hwan-jae had just said something terrifying, but Rosalind seemed delighted by it nonetheless.
Truly, sibling relationships are unpredictable.
I found myself wishing I had a brother or sister like that.
Then Rosalind opened her mouth as if to change the subject.
-By the way Ye-ah, when are you coming to the United States?
“The United States?”
-Yeah, Dante said he wants to come along to show you the training methods I used back then and some of the bizarre dungeons that occur in the United States.
“Excuse me?”
I’m hearing this for the first time.
So I’m supposed to be going to the United States to see Rosalind Brown.
Liri had definitely told me I needed more experience. But she never mentioned that such an opportunity would come soon.
Now that I think about it, it seemed like Liri must have known something.
Perhaps she had said those things precisely because she had already anticipated all of this.
When I glanced sideways at Liri, she was smiling gently at me without a trace of surprise.
“It doesn’t seem like an opportunity that comes around often. Wherever I go, I’ll be with Ye-ah anyway, so it’s fine.”
-Oh, that voice belongs to that snowman from back then. The Staff member who terrified our Pene so much!
Rosalind Brown had both a sharp memory and a naturally warm disposition.
Her voice brimmed with enthusiasm as she rattled on about what she wanted to feed me in the United States, what sights she wanted to show me, and what kind of dormitory she was preparing—every detail spilling out with genuine delight.
I listened quietly, afraid that if I mentioned I hadn’t heard any of this before, she might feel hurt.
Rosalind Brown didn’t even wait for my response before ending the call with a promise to see me soon.
She really did sweep through and vanish.
“….”
Then I heard Jung Hwan-jae’s voice.
“When did this plan to go to the United States come up?”
“I just heard about it too….”
It wasn’t my fault, but somehow I felt like I was being scolded. I clasped my hands together respectfully.
This is bad….
