Chapter 439 – A World Where the Weak Cannot Survive.
Conflicting emotions meet, creating a volatile situation.
It was a hulking woman showing feelings that seemed ready to burst, just like her size.
And this was all happening because of a nurse, who was so cold and calm that you’d wonder if she was even human.
In that instant, the woman started to grip the nurse’s collar a little tighter.
“I’ll tell our Guild and crush all of you!!!”
“What exactly is the problem here?”
She spewed out something rather shocking.
It’s definitely a sight to behold.
It’s fascinating enough to see someone being shaken in the air by their collar.
But what’s more surprising is that this mass of flesh is, in fact, a Hunter.
[Isn’t it disadvantageous for a Hunter to directly attack a civilian?]
‘Well, there are a lot of bugs living day by day like in this novel.’
[Aha.]
In other words, the Hunter was committing violence against the civilian nurse.
Well, it’s not something one should completely condemn.
That woman might feel truly wronged to act like that.
Right at that moment, the female Hunter twisted her lips to look at the nurse.
“They said eating mainly vegetables would help with my diet! But I actually gained weight!!!”
“That’s strange. Can you show me the meal photos?”
After the nurse’s words, the female Hunter threw the doctor to the ground.
Then she pulled up a photo on her mobile phone and hurled it at the nurse.
“Look closely! This is the vegetable diet you told me about!”
Soon after, the nurse shook her body a couple of times and picked up the phone.
She began to examine the image on the screen intently.
“How much of this did you eat?”
At that question, the female Hunter raised her voice even more than before.
As if asking why such a basic question was even asked.
“I only ate that little for one meal, yet I gained weight!”
“Is that one meal…?”
“Yes!”
Whether that was a signal or not, the nurse immediately started to counter.
This time, her voice filled with just enough emotion, like she couldn’t hold back anymore.
“If you eat this much for one meal, of course you will gain weight!”
“But it’s a vegetable-focused diet as you said!”
“F*ck, even elephants are herbivores!”
Even amidst the violence, the nurse had maintained her calm.
But this time, she finally exploded with rage.
“And you said I could use dressing, but what the hell is this white stuff!”
Whether she was really human from the start,
or if a robot had learned the emotion of anger, I couldn’t say.
“Whipped cream!”
“Why the f*ck would someone trying to lose weight use that?!”
“It’s plant-based cream, so it’s vegetarian!”
“…….”
[Well, I guess that’s still a vegetable diet.]
‘Seems so…’
Maybe it was because of the female Hunter’s logically flawless argument.
The nurse shot her a look of utter disbelief and silence.
Eventually, the female Hunter began to grip the nurse’s collar again.
“If you scammed me, you should be punished!”
“Crazy lady.”
As the standoff returned to its original state,
a doctor finally revealed himself slowly.
“What’s going on?”
The nurse gasped at the sudden appearance of the doctor and tried to stop him.
In contrast, as soon as the female Hunter spotted the doctor, she released the nurse and charged at him.
Her eyes looked half-crazed as if rationality was buried under fat.
“Sir, you shouldn’t be here!”
“Finally met you, you little sh*t!!!”
Despite the nurse’s urgent voice, the female Hunter moved quickly to stand in front of the doctor.
She began to throw punches immediately.
This doctor must have been the one who diagnosed her diet.
But even as a doctor, he looked like an ordinary person.
No way could he dodge that attack.
From just one glance, if he got hit, he would surely end up seriously injured.
[Are you really going to let this happen?]
‘It’s troubling, but there’s no helping it. After all, she’s a Hunter, so it’s fine to hit back.’
Even so, I didn’t think letting a Hunter hit a civilian was right.
But before I could step in, the female Hunter’s body suddenly froze.
Thanks to one casual remark from the doctor oozing with confidence.
“I’ve found the real way for patients to diet.”
“……What…?”
The female Hunter froze for a moment.
“It’s a completely new diet method, different from traditional ones.”
“……What… method?”
Once again, the female Hunter wobbled her entire fat body as she threatened him,
but the doctor remained completely calm.
In fact, he began to wear a faint smile on his face.
Meanwhile, the female Hunter seemed to have anticipated what the doctor would say.
Before he could even open his mouth, she threatened him first.
“If it’s another diet suggestion of eating right or exercising, I’ll kill you right here!”
“Instead of that outdated diet, I have a plan tailored just for you.”
Upon hearing that, the female Hunter subtly raised her chin as if to say, “Speak.”
Soon after, the doctor began to wear an unsettling smile.
“If you just take a little nap, you’ll lose weight and even get a certain amount of cash.”
[Is that even possible?]
‘Not sure. How would that work?’
However, it sounded a bit weird.
Admittedly, there could be immediate methods like liposuction to lose weight.
Or slightly longer-term approaches like gastric bypass surgery to reduce food intake.
But meeting those conditions was simply impossible.
Even with health insurance,
the surgery would be a massive expense.
Would you actually get paid for this?
[Honestly, it doesn’t make sense.]
‘Could it be just a get-out-of-jail-free statement?’
If so, everyone would adopt such a diet plan.
It wasn’t just my thought, as the female Hunter glared at the doctor with suspicion.
“Really?”
“Of course.”
However, perhaps due to the doctor’s confident answer,
the female Hunter slowly began to lower her fist.
Before long, the menacing air around her giant body dissipated.
Now she was even addressing the doctor formally.
“Are you not lying…? It’s true that I’ll lose weight… and even get money…?”
“If you’d like, we can compare your weight before and after. Are you interested?”
No sooner had the words finished than the female Hunter’s face contorted in an absurdly grotesque way.
Perhaps she thought she was giving a bright smile,
but from my personal perspective, it just looked too sh*tty and bizarre.
“I want to do it! I want to do it!”
“Great! Then please read and sign this document.”
Honestly, it would be cuter if the monster threatened her instead.
The female Hunter immediately snatched the stack of papers from the doctor and signed them without reading a single line.
“I’ve done it all!”
“Are you sure you’re okay with not reading the contents?”
Even when the doctor asked her to read, she didn’t glance at it at all.
“I don’t need it! As long as I can lose weight, that’s all that matters!”
“Alright. Then please wait just a moment.”
After receiving the papers, the doctor quickly made a phone call.
Not long after, several nurses appeared, pulling a large hospital bed.
The doctor handed one of the nurses the document and smiled slightly.
“Just lie down there and take a little nap, and the diet will be over.”
“And how will I get the money? Through bank transfer, maybe…”
“I’ll give it to you in cash, so don’t worry too much.”
“Okay! I’ll take a good nap!”
With that, the female Hunter lay down on the hospital bed and began to sleep.
Within just a few minutes, she sank deeply into slumber.
Like a beast that had been struck with a tranquilizer.
Once it was confirmed that she was completely asleep,
the nurses began laboriously moving her.
They all had their own gripes along the way, but still…
“Hey, senior… didn’t you say nurses don’t do heavy lifting?”
“But it’s not as bad as last night.”
“Oh, that’s true.”
“Both of you shut it and move her using the freight elevator.”
Still, they conducted their duties diligently like true medical professionals.
Meanwhile, the nurse who had been tormented by the female Hunter approached the doctor,
wearing a look of utter amazement.
“You really are amazing, Doctor.”
“Are you hurt at all?”
“No, but wow, you really are incredible.”
“Don’t praise me too much. It’s really nothing.”
The doctor waved his hand modestly, but the nurse seemed even more moved, raising her hands in gratitude.
With an even more impressed tone than before, she exclaimed,
“You finally found a kidney donor!”
“I was just lucky.”
[……She’ll lose some weight, that’s for sure.]
‘Probably around 150 grams or so…’
Looking clearly, every word the doctor said turned out to be right.
When she wakes up, she’ll have lost weight and be compensated.
Of course, this is premised on her actually getting paid.
But it wouldn’t be easy for the female Hunter to claim injustice later.
Though she made a mistake first,
what’s more, she signed a document without even reading it.
[Seems like only Hunters are crazy; it’s not just them, huh.]
‘……I don’t think our world was like this at the beginning…’
This is indeed a world where Hunters thrive.
In this place, the weak cannot survive.
And this applies not only to Hunters but also to the ordinary people living together.
