The D-Class Porter's Age of Tribulation (1)

Wow. What a nice morning, you hunter bros. Wait, it's already afternoon! I stayed up until dawn yesterday and ended up sleeping in.

I sent Elsa the armor Melquidon used to wear and gave HunterYaKaeYo the weapon called the Crimson Sword. They're both B-class pieces, but they should be decent enough to use.

The Pa-ttaks are fighting each other again, just like always. I'm used to it by now.

I accepted the exchange request Elsa sent. I wonder what the menu will be today?

“Uwaaak! It's cold!!”

What the hell is this? A giant snowball suddenly dropped out of thin air. It was like my room corner had turned into a screening room for Cool Kingdom 3. If I'd had the hero's power, I wouldn't have gotten hit by something like this. Anyway, after I dug my way out of the snowball, I found a single note.

It's Elsa's handiwork. She really knows how to hold a grudge…

The next exchange request arrived. This time it was proper food. But it wasn't pasta…! And the main dish was cold cucumber soup!!! No way, not that shitty soup! Threatening me with food? How cowardly. I'll eat it just for today!

Anyway, now that I've eaten, it's time to get to work. What exactly is my job? Of course it's managing the gallery.

Contrary to my worries, DemonKing123 was doing pretty well on his own. I wouldn't need to help him. Raising him strong is the way to go!

The D-class Porter received the equipment too, but there was no reply. Is she busy? Unless she's a complete brain-dead idiot, there's no way she would have put on that necklace.

Would Ju-ddak really have given an A-class? This is obviously Ju-ddak lying again. A-class items are on a completely different level lol. It's not the kind of item you just hand out lol.

Once again, it's time for the D-class Porter's desperate moment. She needs to show up soon so this misunderstanding can be cleared. Should I send her a personal message?

**

While Ju-ddak was lost in thought, Lee Hyein, the D-class Porter of the Hunter Gallery, was not posting any shitposts today. She had won the popularity vote in the anti-Porter poll, yet she felt no joy.

“Waaahhh, it is…”

Wait a moment! “Sob sob” might be considered a racially insensitive expression, so “waaahhh” is better. When everyone cries, let us all cry with “waaahhh.”

“Waaahhh, it is…”

Even in the midst of her sorrow, she decided to show consideration for the wonderful Black hunters active in certain American neighborhoods these days. Anyway, the reason she was crying so intensely was simple.

Lee Hyein had finally accepted the truth that in every party she joined, everyone except her was wiped out. She had kept putting it off with thoughts like It was just bad luck, but she could no longer do that. Every hunter was a respectable person, and their sacrifices were noble. That had always been her belief.

But if she wanted to keep those respectable hunters alive, Lee Hyein now had to travel alone. That was the platform she had declared in the poll.

“The hate surrounding me is something even the ㄱㅂㅅ Ju-ddak cannot stop, I suppose…”

Perhaps Ju-ddak was not a god after all. Maybe Ju-ddak was not a GOD-half-god, but a real brain-dead idiot bastard. If Ju-ddak were truly a god, he should have prevented the deaths of the parties that included Lee Hyein at least once. Cracks had begun to form in her faith.

Oh well. She needed someone to blame.

But the real problem was the elegant necklace Ju-ddak had sent. Touching it should be fine, right? It wasn't the same as equipping it. But what if touching it counted as equipping? Then Lee Hyein would go boom~.

“Shivering, it is…”

She had spent the entire night alone. The sun had already risen; it was afternoon now.

A crude and vicious voice rang out from somewhere. Who was speaking? She was alone right now!? Could it be the necklace? Do necklaces talk these days? And in such a villainous voice at that?

The necklace that had fallen to the floor was vibrating violently.

“Hello…. Are you the necklace by any chance?”

“Host…?”

Become one? Did it mean the thing she was thinking of…?

“I cannot do that kind of thing with a necklace!!!”

The necklace leaped high into the air.

“??? You crazy pervert necklace!!!”

“Rejected!! Premature-ejaculation rabbit necklace!!”

“Your way of speaking is too lovely!!”

“That was sarcasm!!!!”

The necklace went berserk, flying wildly in every direction.

“I don’t want to go boom!”

The necklace hovering in the air charged straight for Lee Hyein’s neck.

“Porter kyaaaak!!!! it is!”

In that life-or-death moment, a thought flashed through her mind. Huh? A talking, flying necklace? Isn’t this post material?
