Chapter 12
Meanwhile, at the time Parang jumped into the sea shouting, 'I'm late!'
The World was slowly greeting a wave of change.

(A GIF captured from Parang's stream. Galecus is seen glowing frantically.)
How is something like this between a Goblin and an Orc LOL. The Deep Sea is truly amazing.
Thumbs up if you're never going in again and will live diligently only on land haha.
Starting with me first~

- Upvote~
- Ah, give us a warning before the GIF
- Upvote
- For real LOL I just sold all the diving Equipment I had at home.
- Can't you just dive near the surface? All this fuss from a bastard who can't even enter the Deep Sea LOL
└ No, it's just scary that things like that are right beneath me with only water in between.
└ That is genuinely terrifying yep ]_];
[ Aren't the Hunter Association bastards just frauds? ]
[ Author: Lee Yonggyu ]
No, but the guys who supposedly manage Hunters worldwide...
(A GIF of Parang hunting Galecus)
Giving someone like her 'B-Rank' LOL
Ugh, just quit already.
- No, but how do they even measure the combat power of Undersea Types?
└ Production Types get their own separate S-Rank exam, so why not Undersea Types?
└ For real LOL They should just let them take the exam underwater.
└ Igarashi Natsuko [- This punk is just incompetent LOL
└ What LOL why are you bashing someone who's been Association President for less than a month? If you're gonna bash anyone, bash the former Association President tsk tsk.
- It's also super annoying how they stubbornly refuse to make a rank above S-Rank. Either reduce the S-Ranks or make a higher rank. Why group someone who barely beats a Wyvern with someone who can 1v2 a Dragon in the same rank?
└ For real
- I am not a Hunter Association Employee, but looking at Yoo Parang's abilities, her combat power on land might be lacking, but considering her combat power in the sea, it far exceeds an S-Rank Hunter's combat ability, and crucially, it's an irreplaceable job class, so we are internally reviewing her promotion to S-Rank.
└ ?
└ Who is this bastard?
└ ?

(A GIF of squeezing Galecus's egg. The disgusting inside lives up to its reputation.)
- Ah, f*ck you.
- Ah.
- Admin!!!!!!!
- Is this fun for you?
- Bastards like this can't even be reported for obscenity, it pisses me off so much.
- I can't be the only one to see this, immediate upvote.
"Ah."
Seeing up to that point, Shin Yuna hurriedly turned off her Cellphone.
"Ugh...."
The disgusting image of Galecus's egg still vividly floated in her mind.
How could Hunter Yoo Parang look at something like that and be perfectly fine?
Was her mind made of steel?
There was nothing like work to forget something like this. Yuna got up from the sofa and headed to the Workshop.
The house felt quite empty. It was because her preparations to move were almost finished.
Where to? To Pohang.
She had decided to set up her home right in Parang's town. It was something she had already agreed upon with Parang.
However, being an S-Rank, and a Production Hunter at that, it would take several days just to move her stuff out.
Yuna left her house and went down a flight of Stairs.
A four-story building located in Seoul. She used the fourth floor as a living space and the first to third floors entirely as workspaces.
"Hmm...."
Entering the Workshop, Yuna glanced around.
Things ranging from large to small were piled up like a mountain. Cars, an Airplane, a Cannon, and even a Submarine under repair.
To move all of this, she would have to spend money like water.
But she decided to move it anyway. Money wasn't an issue for her, and she could never give up these projects.
Among the countless machines, Yuna headed toward the one in the most prominent spot. It was the item she was currently working on.
A Propeller attached to the front and back, thick steel plates, a clunky Camera, and a streamlined body.
An Unmanned Submersible.
She had no intention of giving up on the Deep Sea. She knew going in person would be crazy, but an Unmanned Submersible would be fine.
Yuna felt like she was going crazy from the desire to explore the Deep Sea. For her, the joy of learning about the unknown was like a drug.
She figured she could definitely help Hunter Yoo Parang with this Unmanned Submersible.
She could strap a bomb to it and make it self-destruct, or equip it with a Torpedo.
Of course, for a surprise, she kept it a secret from Parang... she didn't do something that stupid. She planned to send the Submersible down after completing it and having Parang review it.
Clang, clang, clang.
Whir, whir.
Clank, clank.
Yuna picked up her tools and started working.

Meanwhile, in a house in Gimpo.
"I-It worked...!"
A middle-aged man sitting in front of a computer let out a deeply moved voice.
"It worked!!! It worked!!! Ahahaha!!!"
Lee Hyungjin, a Reporter belonging to the massive media company [ SubGarnet ].
He had just received Hunter Yoo Parang's reply that she would agree to the interview.
Saying that an underwater interview was possible must have played a decisive role.
He immediately called his daughter.
Ring, ring.
Click.
"Hello? Dad?"
"Shia! I did it!! Your dad scored an interview with Hunter Yoo Parang!!!"
"R-Really?!"
"Yeah! It's all thanks to you. My wonderful daughter...."
The reason he could suggest an 'underwater interview' to Hunter Yoo Parang. It was thanks to his daughter, who was a College Student while also working as a C-Rank Undersea Hunter.
Hearing the good news from her father, Lee Shia felt like she was dreaming.
To be able to meet her idol, Hunter Yoo Parang, in person. She was so nervous she felt like she wouldn't be able to sleep.
After thanking her father and telling him she loved him several times, she hung up the phone.
Of course, the interview itself would have to follow the script her father provided, but before it starts or after it ends, they could probably have a brief chat.
The walls of her apartment were completely covered with Photos of Monster Fishes. Although to call them Monster Fishes, Galecus was the only one she had Photos of so far.
Shia pulled out a book from her bookshelf.
It was a collection of Photos she had taken while diving. Various fish, Coral, and sometimes even Photos of a Shark.
She was a fish nerd, but unlike Parang, she lacked the ability to dive into the Deep Sea, so she had diligently observed only surface-level fish.
If she managed to connect with Hunter Yoo Parang this time, she resolved to gather all the stories she could about Deep Sea Fishes.
Along with the mysterious phenomena and items of the Monster Fish Zone as a bonus.
Lost in a blissful dream, she hugged the album tightly to her chest.

And this time, high above the Pacific Ocean.
Above the vast ocean where not even an island was visible, five transport planes appeared.
"We have arrived at the target location."
At the report from the pilot in the front seat, the man seated in the back replied.
"Drop it."
"Understood."
Then, the bellies of the transport planes opened, and things poured down into the sea.
Gold coins, Jewels, low-grade Artifacts, Equipment, and so on.
The treasures that had been packed to the brim in the five transport planes splashed into their watery graves.
Now riding the ocean currents, those treasures would reach the coastlines of various countries.
"Drop completed."
"Let's return."
"Yes, sir."
Just then, the radio in the man's pocket suddenly crackled.
Bzzt- bzzt- click.
"Report."
"A fisherman was bitten by a Shark."
"...What?"
"T-That is."
Instantly, the atmosphere inside the plane froze cold.
"The losses?"
"Nine."
"Were there other fish next to the Shark?"
"...Yes."
"What kind were they."
"...We are still figuring that out."
"You're figuring it out?"
"......Well, we were ambushed in an instant, so,"
"Phew...."
No one in the plane was even breathing.
"Compile a list of everyone involved, including the guy who made the operation plan and the guy in charge of command, and send it to me within three hours."
"...Understood."
"Give the bereaved families an appropriate excuse and pay out compensation."
"Yes."
Click. The radio cut off.
And the man's expressionless face was colored with rage.
Crunch, crackle!!
As he clenched his fist tightly, the radio he was holding crumbled.
"Keuhuk- cough-"
Affected by his killing intent, the pilot suddenly began to suffer as if he were choking.
Then, the man withdrew his aura.
"Ah, I apologize. I didn't think of you."
"Not at all."
"If a superior doesn't take good care of his subordinates, he's bound to get stabbed in the back. Take this."
He then handed the briefcase he was holding to the pilot.
It was a money bag packed tight with bills.
"No, I can't accept something like this."
"Take it."
"But...."
"Take it."
"...I'm sorry. I will gratefully accept it."
Only then did the pilot realize.
The amount in this bag was meant to buy his silence.
If he blabbed about the Shark or the fisherman he had just heard about here to anyone else, he would not keep his head.
The pilot, who had been secretly wondering what on earth a Shark was, realized his mistake and quickly erased it from his mind forever.

And Seoul.
Hunter Association Asia General Branch, Branch Manager's Office.
Vzzzt-
His cellphone vibrated on the desk.
The sharp-looking man sitting in the chair stopped processing a Document for a moment to look at it.
[ Choi Janghyuk ]
It was Manager Choi.
An eternal Manager in Pohang calling the cellphone of the Asia General Branch Manager.
It was not a natural occurrence.
"Yeah, Janghyuk."
"Yes. Branch Manager."
"I told you to call me Sunwoo."
"Alright, Sunwoo."
Of course, they both knew this was an unnatural scene. That was why they were playing the roles of high school alumni.
"So, what's up?"
"Yeah. I can finally catch my breath thanks to you. Thanks."
I delivered it well to Yoo Parang.
"No need to thank me. A friend's daughter is getting married, so this much is a given."
Good job.
"So, when is the ceremony going to be?"
"Next Sunday, August 4th, at two in the afternoon."
"Got it. I'll definitely be there."
"Alright, sorry for taking up your time when you must be busy. I'll hang up now."
"Sure thing. Let's grab a drink sometime later."
Click.
The Branch Manager's face, which had been lingering with a smile, instantly turned cold like a steel plate.
Asia General Branch Manager Seo Sunwoo quietly glared ahead.

And, the culprit behind these incidents happening all over the World. Yoo Parang.
"Ugh, it's cold...."
She popped out from the Warp Gate located in Wales, Alaska.
"Why does it have to be the Arctic Ocean, seriously...."
Achoo. Sneezing once, she hurriedly ran and jumped straight into the sea.
