Episode 4
I’m a Returned S-Rated Adult Content Heroine
At the very least, they weren’t S-rank hunters. They weren’t even returnees. That was enough.
These small-time punks could be handled at her level.
Min Hyemi glanced at her status window.
『Name: Min Hyemi
Rank: D
Unique Title: High-Rated Adult Romance Heroine
Titles: Returnee, Love Distrust, Misanthropy
Magic Rank: D
Physical Rank: F
Mental Rank: S』
Beneath the ridiculous unique title, her unimpressive magic and physical ranks were there, and her unusually shining mental rank caught the eye.
But Min Hyemi’s gaze was fixed on the skill list.
『Skill List
S-rank <Genre Shift> (Available)』
Every returnee had the S-rank skill, <Genre Shift>. Its terrifying power and long cooldown (time needed before the skill can be used again) were well known, but now it was ready to use…
“Yesul!”
“Yes.”
As handcuffs were released, both Min Hyemi and Jeong Yesul stood at the same time, and the attackers’ attention snapped toward them.
“Hey! What are you trying to pull?”
[Skill <Genre Shift> activated!]
At that moment, the air around them became strangely tingling and sticky.
No wonder — <Genre Shift> literally changed the surrounding genre to that of the returnee’s original world.
Yes, to the genre the returnee came from…
Which meant…
“They freed the handcuffs?! How did they get out?!”
One of the attackers shouted.
“Then let’s see if you can get away from me too! I’ll make sure you can’t move!”
Saying this, the man suddenly approached Min Hyemi with eyes full of desire…
“Eh?! This development is weird!”
Iruri, another returnee, frowned at the <Genre Shift> skill not affecting her — a typical Japanese-style interjection.
The attacker walked straight toward Min Hyemi as if nothing else existed. Just as his hand was about to touch her…
Bang!
Jeong Yesul swung a baseball bat from a corner of the office, hitting the attacker on the head.
The attacker collapsed to the floor from the direct hit.
“Oh.”
Min Hyemi muttered in admiration. Jeong Yesul was stronger than she expected.
“Did you just take down my comrade?”
A second attacker shouted angrily.
“I’ll avenge my comrade.”
“….”
“Since my comrade is down, I’ll take you down too! On the bed would be ideal!”
“This development is weird again!”
With that shout, another attacker was hit by Jeong Yesul’s baseball bat and collapsed.
Min Hyemi looked at the two fallen attackers with a mix of disbelief and disdain.
It was a development completely devoid of reason or logic, entirely dominated by adult-themed chaos.
“No!”
At that moment, the third attacker, whom she had forgotten about, shouted in shock.
“You made my two comrades lose consciousness! I’ll make you lose yours too!”
“This is a 1,000-won ultra-short plot!”
Bang!
Anyway, Team Recovery 2 successfully knocked out all three attackers.
Min Hyemi looked down at them in astonishment.
‘I didn’t want to use a skill like this…’
She didn’t want to witness the world around her suddenly spiraling into high-rated adult-content chaos.
With a deep sigh, she also released the handcuffs of Iruri and Kim Channeul.
“But whose baseball bat was in the office?”
“Oh, that’s mine!”
“Kim Channeul? Weren’t you only into soccer?”
“Lately, I’ve been experimenting with ‘Full Swing Energizer Shot Kick’ — kicking soccer balls with a baseball bat!”
That’s against the rules… Actually, can you even still call that soccer?
Anyway, now safe from the attackers, they decided to stay inside the office and wait quietly for the rescue team.
They had no power to fight the terrorist organization that had taken over the Disaster Response Headquarters.
“By the way, did you hear? An S-rank awakener joined the terrorist group?”
“Yeah, I heard. Well, it’s nothing to do with us.”
“Right, that’s up to whoever’s cleaning up the terrorists!”
Jeong Yesul searched the pocket of one of the fallen attackers.
Soon, she found a badge.
“It’s an Exodus emblem.”
“So it was Exodus.”
South Korea had a relatively well-structured hunter system and low crime, but there was one criminal organization that held great influence:
‘Exodus.’
They recruited awakened individuals who refused to conform to the system and expanded their power.
Their goal was supposedly some anarchist plan escaping national authority… something Min Hyemi couldn’t care less about.
‘High-Rated Adult Romance Returnees aren’t even on Exodus’ radar.’
Just as she thought this, an explosion sounded outside. There was no doubt it was the sound of battle.
“Looks like they came to rescue us.”
Jeong Yesul muttered indifferently.
“They really came fast.”
“Indeed.”
As they briefly complained, the office door opened.
Everyone’s eyes focused on the person entering.
‘That person…’
Min Hyemi’s eyes widened.
Surely, her colleagues were also shocked.
They knew this person all too well.
Soft, languid facial features and a large, noticeable build.
But most striking were the snow-white hair, as if straight out of a fantasy world.
Although he was extremely handsome, Min Hyemi didn’t feel much fear — likely because he looked completely vacant, harmless.
Anyway, they all knew his identity.
“Seon Jejun.”
The world’s first returnee, S-rank hunter of South Korea’s Disaster Response Headquarters, Security Team 1.
Seon Jejun.
If you were to pick the strongest hunter in South Korea, he would be unanimously chosen.
Meaning, Min Hyemi, who usually only handled cleanup, would normally have no reason to meet him.
‘Security Team 1 stepped in themselves to take down Exodus?’
Well, an organization of Exodus’ magnitude would warrant that.
As Min Hyemi nodded in understanding, Seon Jejun stared blankly at the three fallen attackers.
“Oh…”
His gaze then moved to Min Hyemi.
“You killed them?”
“Huh?”
She frowned.
“Of course not. They’re just unconscious.”
“Ah…”
Seon Jejun replied slowly.
“I’ll take them…”
“Okay, okay.”
“How should I carry one…”
Looking at his hands, he seemed to ponder for a moment.
“Shall I lift one? Channeul, you…”
“I’ll just carry it myself in one go…”
Leaving that, Seon Jejun dragged the three men away.
Min Hyemi quietly watched his back.
“Hmm…”
She instantly realized that Seon Jejun was far from the ‘perfect and powerful’ hunter portrayed in the media.
In reality, he looked somewhat absent-minded.
‘Well, that’s better.’
There were three types of people she disliked:
- Men with bad personalities.
- Men with egos.
- Humans.
Fortunately, Seon Jejun only fell into the last category, so she decided she wouldn’t dislike him too much — only a little.
“By the way, I noticed you’re stronger than I expected?”
Min Hyemi complimented Jeong Yesul.
“Maybe I trained a bit?”
“After work, just a little.”
“Really? You didn’t tell us.”
“I wanted to see your surprised face.”
Jeong Yesul looked at Min Hyemi as if seducing her.
“You know I’m starved for compliments.”
“Stop saying weird lines.”
“Please, Yesul… stop already…”
