I've Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well-Chapter 112
The sunlight streaming through the window touched my face, stirring me awake.
I rubbed my eyes and shifted on the plush bed.
The coolness of the room, thanks to the air conditioner, and the cozy, cotton-candy-like warmth beside me made it hard to get up.
...Wait. Cotton-candy-like warmth?
“…!”
My foggy mind cleared instantly, and any lingering drowsiness vanished. I quickly opened my eyes to investigate the source of the sensation.
“Oh…”
…It was Si-yoon. For a second, she had startled me. Then I remembered: there were only two beds.
As my thoughts settled, the events of last night gradually came back to me.
We had raided the convenience store for snacks and drinks. After getting tipsy, I was the first to claim a bed and collapse.
…It seemed I’d fallen asleep just like that.
“Mm…”
Si-yoon stirred beside me, wrapping her arms around me. I’d never slept beside her before, so I hadn’t realized she had a habit of clinging in her sleep. Gently prying her arms off, I sat up.
Across the room, Ji-ah was still sound asleep on the other bed.
I stared at her for a moment, then slid off the bed and made my way to the fridge. Grabbing a water bottle, I took a long, refreshing drink.
“Phew…”
The cool sensation soothed my throat and cleared my head.
…It hadn’t been that long since I could sleep this peacefully. Back in the other world, I was always on edge.
Even the faintest noise had me waking up in alarm, like the time the so-called Hero tried to sneak into my room.
He had fled with some lame excuse, but after that, I couldn’t trust myself to sleep deeply again.
I hadn’t touched alcohol during those days either, knowing I needed my wits about me at all times.
Each day had been a trial.
“Bastard…”
That wretched Hero, intoxicated by his title and full of empty arrogance.
He was a hypocrite who worked tirelessly to maintain a noble facade for the public while hiding his rotten core.
A true degenerate, a man who wore shining armor over a decaying heart.
Why had he been so obsessed with me? Likely because I was the one puzzle piece he couldn’t possess.
He must have thought breaking me down would bring him pleasure, or that I would eventually submit and depend on him.
...But that was just my speculation.
I didn’t want to waste another moment thinking about that twisted creep.
The memory soured my mood. I shook my head vigorously to clear the thoughts.
Anyway, the important thing was that I had escaped him. Life on Earth was pure bliss in comparison.
“….”
With a relaxed stride, I headed into the shower.
As I washed, I reviewed the day’s itinerary in my mind.
First, we’d head to the beach in Jason’s car.
After enjoying ourselves there, we’d have a meal at a nearby restaurant.
On the way back, we might stop by a famous café or two.
I planned to keep the schedule flexible, avoiding anything too rigid.
Sometimes, the unexpected joys you stumble upon make for the best memories.
“Yawn…”
When I finished drying off with a towel, I noticed Si-yoon approaching, her hair a mess and her arms stretched out in a sleepy yawn.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Mm-hmm. Did you, unni?”
She plopped into a chair in the living room, gazing absently around before shooting me a silly grin. Then she stood up again, her mood lively.
“Hmph, hmph~”
Humming the opening tune of her MomoBin streams, she disappeared into the shower.
Watching my adorable, cheerful little sister, I couldn’t help but smile.
She really was like a human vitamin—her energy and charm were contagious, brightening my mood as well.
After Si-yoon finished and changed, Ji-ah, the last to wake, followed suit.
Once we were all ready, we contacted Jason and met up with him. Just as planned, we headed to the beach, located about an hour or two outside Tokyo.

When we arrived at the beach...

“Yahoo!”
Si-yoon dashed excitedly across the sandy shore. Each step sent soft grains scattering, her lively laughter mingling with the sound of the waves.
Si-hyun watched her younger sister with a gentle smile, her happiness contagious. After a moment, she glanced around and spotted Jason, diligently setting up a parasol.
Walking briskly, Si-hyun approached him and began helping secure the parasol.
“Jason.”
“Yes, ma’am?”
“When we get back to Korea and finish the urgent tasks, I’ll grant you a favor.”
“Oh-ho-ho…”
Jason narrowed his eyes and grinned at the sudden declaration.
“Hahaha! Of course, it’s a rematch!”
There wasn’t even a second of hesitation in his reply. Si-hyun chuckled softly and nodded slightly.
…I expected this, but still.
She hadn’t thought he’d answer so eagerly. She’d always known Jason was eccentric, but this confirmed it.
“Even though you’ll lose, you’re still going to challenge me again?”
“Haha! That’s the fun of it! Just wait—I’ll win someday! Hahaha!”
“Hmm…”
He seemed to find his own kind of joy in the challenge. While Si-hyun couldn’t fully understand his mindset, she couldn’t deny the sincerity of his passion.
Pursuing a goal with such enthusiasm was admirable, even if his methods were… unusual.
…Maybe it’s just a difference in values and direction.
Jason’s genuine determination, fueled by sweat and effort, was something Si-hyun could relate to. She had lived her own life in a similar way, striving toward her goals.
“Well, that was faster than expected.”
“Haha! Two people working together are always quicker. Don’t worry about me; go enjoy some time with your sister!”
“I was planning to, even if you didn’t tell me.”
Jason grinned widely at her reply and stretched out comfortably under the shade of the parasol, preparing to bask in the sun.
After watching him for a moment, Si-hyun brushed her side bangs back with a light motion and walked toward the shoreline.
Crunch, crunch.
Each step across the sand created a pleasant, soft sound. The sensation of the sand through her sandals tickled her feet and made her smile.
She approached the water, where cool waves lapped at her ankles.
Where are Si-yoon and Ji-ah? Ah, over there.
A short distance away, the two were happily splashing and playing in the water. Si-hyun’s smile grew warmer as she watched them.
It’s been so long since I’ve been to the beach.
In fact, it had been years since she’d even gone swimming. She decided to take her time observing the surroundings before diving in.
All around, people were enjoying summer in their own ways.
Children laughed as they ran with float tubes.
Men proudly showed off their muscular builds.
Women in dazzling bikinis drew every gaze in their direction.
Si-hyun glanced down at herself, checking her new sky-blue bikini set.
…It’s still a little embarrassing, but…
She wasn’t the only one dressed like this.
Everywhere she looked, there were bikinis.
Like footprints scattered across the sand, she felt like just one piece of the summer beach scene. That thought made her feel a bit more at ease.
Alright, let’s see…
Before heading into the water, she focused on observing how others swam.
Splash, splash.
A man swam powerfully with a freestyle stroke, cutting through the waves with ease. His swimming skills were impressive.
Ah-ha…
So that’s how it’s done!
Si-hyun’s eyes sparkled with determination as she closely studied his posture and movements.
She visualized herself mimicking his strokes in her mind, preparing herself.
Alright, let’s do this!
After sufficient observation, she stepped into the water until it reached her waist.
She bent forward, mimicking the stance she had studied.
Swoosh!
With powerful strokes and kicks, she moved through the water. As someone with strength far surpassing an average person, each stroke sent water splashing in all directions.
Splash! Splash!
Waves formed in her wake as she surged forward, her pace exhilaratingly fast.
Gradually, the attention of those around her shifted toward her.
“Wow, what’s that?”
“Huh? What is?”
“That person’s gotta be a hunter. Look at that speed!”
“Whoa… That’s insane.”
People stopped what they were doing to stare at Si-hyun as she swam. Her movements were almost surreal.
She seemed to glide through the water with the grace of a dolphin and the elegance of a mermaid.
The combination of ease and beauty was mesmerizing.
“Look at that.”
“It’s like watching a dolphin…”
“More like a mermaid, don’t you think?”
Even passersby paused to watch, their eyes wide with amazement as Si-hyun swam further out.
“Ji-ah unni.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Look at that. Our unni’s seriously a natural talent.”
Nearby, Si-yoon pointed toward Si-hyun, who was gliding effortlessly through the water.
“Who hasn’t swum in years and moves like that?”
“Uh… good question.”
“She’s seriously a walking inferiority complex generator.”
Despite her words, Si-yoon was grinning from ear to ear. Natural talent or not, it didn’t matter.
Her unni was always on her side, and that was an unchangeable truth.
Si-yoon waved energetically at Si-hyun, signaling her to come join them.
Watching her sister swim back toward them, Si-yoon’s face radiated pure happiness.
***
Thump, thump—
“Wow, she’s stunning. Let me go talk to her.”
On the beach, a handsome Japanese man holding his smartphone was live-streaming. This was Kenji, a popular broadcaster. He quickly headed toward his new target.
“Hello! I’m doing a live broadcast—would you mind chatting for a moment?”
He introduced his stream and explained his plan to talk to beachgoers. Many women, in the playful spirit of the beach, gladly joined the broadcast.
“Let’s say hello together. Hi, everyone!”
“Hi!”
As an adorable woman greeted the viewers, the chat erupted with cheers and excitement.
From lively personalities to shy types and even nervous women standing next to their friends, Kenji’s live stream featured a variety of guests. Viewers felt a sense of vicarious joy through these interactions.
Kenji, fluent enough in Korean for casual conversations, also attracted Korean viewers who chimed in via the chat.
Then it happened.
“Wow, no way.”
Kenji’s eyes widened as he spotted something—or rather, someone—on one side of the beach.
“This is crazy! Everyone, I just found a goddess! Oh my….”
Usually calm and composed during his broadcasts, Kenji was now visibly excited, his voice trembling with awe.
“She’s like… someone whose art style doesn’t match this world! Seriously. Wow….”
Though quite far away, Kenji could make out Si-hyun’s striking beauty and elegant figure.
Since his phone was still in selfie mode, his viewers could only see his stunned expression, prompting a flood of curious comments.
"Kenji, you’re totally mesmerized, lol!""Show us already!""Hurry up! Go talk to her!"
Amid the clamoring chat, Kenji chuckled nervously and turned to the camera.
“To be honest, she’s so overwhelmingly beautiful that my heart’s pounding too much to approach. Let me gather some courage first.”
"???""Come on!""Why are you hogging the view for yourself?!"
Frustrated viewers flooded the chat with complaints. With a sheepish smile, Kenji retreated to a nearby vendor to grab a beer, downing it in one go.
“I swear, I’ve never seen anyone that gorgeous in my life. She’s absolutely breathtaking.”
"So show us already!""How stunning can she possibly be to make you this flustered?""If you get rejected after hyping this up, I’ll riot in the comments."
“Haha, I’ll do my best to avoid that, then.”
After finishing his beer with a determined gulp, Kenji set off toward Si-hyun, his steps a mix of resolve and nerves.
“Wow, everyone. The closer I get, the more dazzling she becomes. This is insane.”
As the distance between them closed, and Si-hyun’s features came into clearer view, Kenji hesitated.
“…Hmm? She seems familiar. But someone like her… there’s no way we’ve met.”
He tilted his head, puzzled, but soon shook it off and continued walking.
Then—
“What business do you have here?”
Jason intercepted him.
“Oh, um, hi! I… I just wanted to ask for a short conversation for my live broadcast.”
Kenji nervously explained his intentions, looking up at the towering Western man.
...Wait, why does this guy also look familiar?
Kenji’s mind raced as he tried to place Jason’s face.
“Wait here.”
Jason turned and approached Si-hyun, who was seated under a parasol. After a brief explanation, she glanced toward Kenji.
“…A broadcast?”
Si-hyun’s gaze shifted to Kenji, who stood frozen.
…Korean?
It wasn’t English—it was Korean. Kenji, caught off guard, quickly composed himself and offered a greeting.
“Hello!”
His slightly awkward Korean accent brought a curious tilt of Si-hyun’s head, and she responded with a soft smile. Hearing Korean from a foreigner at the beach felt endearing, and her travel-induced good mood led her to reply.
“You speak Korean?”
“Enough for simple conversations!”
Kenji answered enthusiastically, his mind looping one thought: This is unreal.
Even her voice was enchanting, as if honeyed tones lingered in the air.
“…Let’s keep it brief, okay?”
“Yes, absolutely! Thank you!”
Kenji’s eagerness made Si-hyun chuckle, her amusement showing in her crescent-moon smile. The sight sent Kenji’s heart into overdrive.
Thump, thump.
They exchanged only a few words, but Kenji felt his pulse racing.
“Phew…!”
Taking a steadying breath, Kenji subtly shifted his position so the camera could capture both of them.
“Let’s say hi together. Hi, everyone!”
“Hello, everyone.”
"???""Whoa, this is insane.""She’s adorable!""My eyes feel cleansed!"
The chat exploded with comments, scrolling so fast Kenji could barely keep up. Then, a sharp-eyed viewer recognized her.
"Wait, isn’t that Hunter Jeong Si-hyun?""Why is she here?!""OMG, that bikini!!!"
Kenji noticed the comments and turned back to Si-hyun, his expression a mix of shock and awe.
“…?”
Si-hyun tilted her head, her elegant smile intact as she casually tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. The simple gesture sent the chat into a frenzy.
"Too cute!""I can’t take this anymore!"
And then—
Screech!
A monstrous roar tore through the atmosphere, sharp and deafening.
Everyone turned toward the source of the sound.
“…Huh?”
A massive monster had appeared, not in a dungeon but on the beach itself.
The meaning was clear: a nearby dungeon had gone berserk, and monsters were spilling out.
Kenji broke into a cold sweat.
