I've Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well-Chapter 110

It had been Si-yoon who first noticed the situation about their lodging. She had sent Ji-ah a private message, certain that their older sister hadn’t realized it yet, and suggested they go along with it.

Thinking it might be fun, Ji-ah had joined in on the plan.

And oh, what a discovery.

Si-hyun’s reactions were absolutely precious. From her faintly flushed cheeks to her fidgety movements, everything about her was endearing. Honestly, from looks to behavior, Si-hyun was a total scene-stealer. Enough to make Ji-ah’s heart skip a beat.

“So, for dinner, you wanted to try stuff from the convenience store, right?”

“…Yeah! They said there’s so much different stuff compared to Korea. I want to try everything!”

“Hehe, I’m excited too. Let’s explore thoroughly!”

“I heard even the cup noodles are different! Let’s try a bunch of them!”

Si-hyun, brimming with enthusiasm, began unpacking her luggage. Ji-ah followed suit, tidying up her own belongings. A little while later, Si-yoon, who finished first, started wandering around the lodging, checking things out.

“Whoa! There’s a sink on top of the toilet! This is so cool!”

She marveled at the bathroom.

“So this is what local TV looks like!”

She turned on the television and started watching a variety show.

From the get-go, Si-yoon was having the time of her life.

“Unni, unni! Come look at this!”

“What else did you find?”

Si-hyun watched her younger sister with a warm smile, feeling a sense of fulfillment. Seeing Si-yoon so delighted made it all worthwhile.

On a road somewhere in Japan.

Inside a van, a man—Sato Ichiro, an S-rank magic-type hunter—let out a deep sigh. The fatigue was evident in his face, his eyes darkened with pronounced circles beneath them.

“No matter how you look at it, this schedule is just too much.”

“Couldn’t agree more…”

When Sato voiced his complaint, the man sitting with him nodded in agreement. He too was slumped over in his seat, worn out from exhaustion.

“We’re already busy enough handling the dungeons in our assigned regions. Now they want us to deal with the ones near Tokyo too? It’s overkill.”

“I get that it’s because of the failed SS-rank dungeon raid, but still… sigh…”

Not just Sato, but the entire country was in chaos right now.

From managing the newly appearing S-rank dungeons to preparing for a second attempt at the looming SS-rank dungeon, with its impending dungeon break threatening every moment—things were spiraling out of control.

Sato understood. This wasn’t a time to rest just because he felt tired.

But knowing that didn’t make it any less grueling.

He massaged his temples with his fingers, trying to ease the pounding in his head.

“What are the next gates on the list?”

“Well, first…”

The other man began listing the locations and ranks of the dungeons they were scheduled to tackle.

At least one or two dungeons per day. If they were lower-ranked, sometimes three.

Even with just the current backlog, the list was daunting.

To make matters worse, several of these dungeons were only days away from breaking, requiring immediate attention.

Their bodies could hardly keep up with the relentless pace.

‘…We can’t afford to fall behind.’

Closing his eyes, Sato Ichiro spoke firmly.

“Double-check that there aren’t any missing or delayed reports. I’ll grab some shut-eye.”

“Understood, sir…”

In these circumstances, even one delayed or mishandled dungeon could spell disaster.

If that happened, it would set off a chain reaction of chaos.

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Sato Ichiro slowly drifted into a light sleep.

The man who had received his instructions, similarly worn out, began nodding off as well, unable to resist the pull of exhaustion.

"…Unni, are you sure that guy’s okay?"

“Hahaha! Don’t worry about me! Just enjoy your trip!”

“You heard him, right? Just think of him as a big, harmless dog.”

“…Alright…”

Si-yoon nodded hesitantly, glancing at the tall Western man who had joined them. Supposedly, he was tagging along as part of some evaluation or another. Although they had separate accommodations, he insisted on accompanying them during their outings.

It felt awkward. He was a stranger, after all.

What made it worse was that her sister had once shown her a picture of this guy, jokingly calling him a pervert. Honestly, Si-yoon wasn’t entirely comfortable.

Noticing her unease, Ji-ah chuckled lightly and reassured her.

“Si-yoon, you really don’t need to worry. I’d bet everything in that guy’s head right now is just filled with Si-hyun.”

“Ew, isn’t that even worse?”

Si-yoon frowned and gave Jason, the tall man, a wary glance.

Jason, however, laughed heartily, completely unfazed.

As they started their sightseeing, Si-yoon gradually began to recognize Jason’s usefulness.

He knew the subway system like the back of his hand, guiding them through it seamlessly.

“We go from here to there, then switch trains here.”

“Wow, you really do have a good memory.”

“Hahaha!”

He had been to Japan multiple times and was well-versed in its transit system.

When Si-yoon pointed at a sign and asked, “What does this mean, Mr. Jason?”

He replied smoothly in Japanese, “It means ‘site of an old shrine.’ It was once a place of worship.”

“Oh! That makes sense.”

His fluent Japanese made their trip much more convenient.

He even prepared a rental car for the next day, saying confidently, “The rental is all set! Haha!”

“Well done.”

And when it came to carrying their luggage, Jason was the first to volunteer.

“Ladies, allow me to take your bags!”

“Oh, uh… okay…”

Jason wasn’t just useful; he was indispensable. He did everything from planning routes to heavy lifting, and he always stayed a respectful distance to avoid interrupting their trip.

Because of his behavior, Si-yoon’s initial wariness began to fade.

Looking at her sisters, she thought to herself, Well, I guess it’s not that strange to have someone like him around. I mean, my sister Ji-ah is Korea’s top spear user, and my other sister is a former Saintess. Adding an S-rank American to the mix doesn’t seem all that odd.

…Maybe I’m the safest civilian in the world right now.

The thought brought a sense of ease, and she smiled as she leaned over to Ji-ah.

“Ji-ah unni, let’s try this next!”

“Huh? What’s that?”

As they arrived near the subway station to head to their next destination, Si-yoon eagerly shared a restaurant review she had found online.

Si-hyun, standing a short distance away, watched the two of them with a gentle smile.

But then—

“Hey, move!”

A thuggish-looking man shoved his way between Ji-ah and Si-yoon, pushing them aside roughly.

“What the hell?” Si-yoon muttered, glaring at the man.

The thug smirked, walking through the gap he’d created. Two other men, who seemed to be his lackeys, followed behind him, grinning smugly.

‘What the…?’

It was obvious they were picking a fight. Si-hyun’s brows furrowed deeply. They dare mess with my group?

She stepped forward, ready to confront them.

But Jason was faster.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

He turned back, blocking the thugs’ path. His fluent Japanese was sharp and commanding.

“Huh? Who the hell are you?” the leader spat.

“I asked what you think you’re doing. Care to explain?”

While the thugs were taller than Ji-ah and Si-yoon, they were no match for Jason, whose towering height exceeded two meters.

Jason’s build—his broad shoulders, rippling muscles, and sheer presence—made the thugs look insignificant.

The leader, unwilling to back down, shouted, “What are you, huh?”

“I’m with them. If you’ve got a problem, come at me. Think you can handle it?”

Jason’s cold gaze bore into them, and even under his casual clothes, his muscles tensed visibly, ready to unleash at any moment.

The thugs hesitated, their confidence wavering. The leader yelled more insults, but his lackeys pulled him back, whispering urgently.

“Let go of me! Do you know who I am?!” the leader barked as his lackeys dragged him away. Despite his bravado, his feet moved steadily backward.

They were the typical bullies—strong against the weak, weak against the strong.

Si-hyun, who had been watching the scene unfold, turned to Jason and called out, “Jason.”

“Yes, my Lady?”

There he goes with that title again… I’m really starting to get used to it.

Si-hyun sighed but offered him a smile. “Good job. Keep it up.”

“Hahaha! It’s no trouble at all!” Jason replied, grinning broadly.

Si-hyun nodded in satisfaction. While she could have handled the situation herself, the hassle of dealing with it in public wasn’t worth it. Jason had proven his worth yet again.

As the thugs retreated, Si-hyun couldn’t help but smirk. She snapped her fingers.

Snap!

“Gah!”

“Argh!”

The thugs suddenly clutched their mouths, stumbling into a nearby convenience store. Si-hyun had sent a small but potent burst of mana their way—enough to ensure they’d suffer for the rest of the day.

“What the hell is this…?”

“Ugh… It won’t stop…”

No matter how much water they drank, the discomfort persisted until her mana completely dissipated.

“Wow, Mr. Jason, you were so cool!” Si-yoon exclaimed.

“Haha! If I hadn’t stepped in, things could have gotten out of hand,” Jason replied modestly, sneaking a glance at Si-hyun before smiling warmly at Si-yoon.

“Come on, let’s hurry! We might run out of time for shopping!” Si-yoon urged.

“Huh? What’s taking so long?” Si-hyun asked curiously.

Si-yoon grinned mischievously. “Unni, we still need to get you a swimsuit! Remember? We’re going to the beach!”

“…Oh, right…”

Si-hyun fell silent. Forget the thugs—something far more daunting lay ahead.
