Popular NPC in a Gender-Reversed Game

After deciding to head to the Imp hunting grounds, we first stopped by the Adventurer’s Guild.

Since the request itself came from the guild, I had to register for the task here. This worked out perfectly. I needed to take on a few more quests anyway to level up. Now, I was aiming to hit the S-rank.

Since I had been around here a few times, there was no strange reaction from the adventurers even when the Manifestors walked around.

As I was looking at the bulletin board for a moment, someone approached and greeted me.

“Hmm? What brings you here, hyung? Are you here to hunt the Imps too?”

It was none other than Bepuri.

You know, the one I had a quarrel with when I first arrived here, who accepted my challenge for a duel? A woman with a particularly large frame and thick build.

In fact, I had met her several more times after that, probably because we used the same guild. We kept running into each other.

And every time, she would approach me and strike up a conversation. It seemed like we had some kind of rivalry back then, but now, she was talking to me with a somewhat more respectful tone. It was unclear whether she was just friendly or rough around the edges, but now she was speaking more politely and trying to engage in conversation.@@novelbin@@

Thanks to that, I was getting along just fine.

“Don’t call me hyung. You’re older than me,” I said.

“If you’re stronger than me, you’re hyung. It boosts my pride, after all... So, you’re heading to the hunting grounds?” Bepuri asked.

I nodded, and she frowned slightly as she spoke.

“Hmm... it might be dangerous. If you’re ready to risk your life like those otherworlders, then maybe it’s fine. But that place is full of monsters, and one wrong move could get you killed. I also heard... there are some strange creatures wandering around.”

She added that she wasn’t planning to join us. Apparently, she would soon reach S-rank, too. I wondered how dangerous the place really was for her to give such a warning.
