As Utopia was taking care of the demons one by one,
In the outside world, Utopia's praises were spreading across the globe.
It was only natural since a group of just seven people, Utopia, had managed to resolve the Demon World Gate and rescue the hostages, a task that 200 hunters, including the representative hunter of the UK, had failed to accomplish.
[Utopia! Let's see the faces of the true heroes of this age.]
[Starting with the male quota system, the biography of Jin Yuha, the greatest male hero of this age, will be published soon! Pre-orders are already sold out, and they're going for additional production!]
[??? : Demons? Just catch them, it's easy.]
[Step aside, Demon King! It's Utopia's turn! A touching moment of Jin Yuha, the face of Utopia.]
-I was arguing with the site manager today, and seeing Yuha's face after coming back to the dorm made me feel better. Thanks to Yuha, the Kim family can live another day. Love you, Yuha!
└ I just spat out my coffee, lol.
-Seeing Yuha's face gives me strength! I'm getting power from Yuha! Power up!
-I ordered Chinese food, and the delivery guy kept complaining about missing pickled radish. I almost smashed his face, but then I thought I might go to jail and not be able to see Yuha, so I held back. Love you, Yuha!
[Today's PICK! Cheonhwa's eyes sparkle at the sight of Jin Yuha returning from the Demon World Gate.]
-Did anyone see Se-hee's expression when Yuha returned?
└ She looked like a dog seeing her owner after 10 years, lol.
└ If she had a tail, she would have been spinning it like a propeller, lol.
└ Pro...peller? What kind of dirty word is that?
└ You pervert!
└ Block this guy!
└ I'm embarrassed, but I'm wet... └ Clean yourself, you dirty bitch.
[PHOTO: Se-hee hugs Jin Yuha tightly, and the other Utopia party members watch.]
-Fucking Cheonhwa, I'm gonna kill you!!! (Blocked user)
-Hey, pay to hug Yuha!
-How dare you hug Jin Yuha? Isn't Cheonhwa crossing the line?
└ This is the only article about Cheonhwa with so many curses, lol.
└ Usually, people are afraid of lawsuits, so they don't curse in Cheonhwa's articles, but they can't hold back this time, lol.
-But Mad dog's expression is also like she's about to kill someone, lol.
└ The other members also have fox-like expressions, lol.
-Fucking hell, life is so unfair... I also want to hug Jin Yuha once... So jealous. Are they dating?
└ Well, if they've been in the same party for over a year, they've probably seen everything, lol.
└ (Flower on the Cliff) Our Yuha isn't like that!
└ What do you mean?
└ If he's not like that, what is he like?
└ Don't you know that in the same party or guild, everyone secretly hooks up?
└ Yeah, there's even a rumor that they live together.
└ (Flower on the Cliff) No, our Yuha is a pure, single man! Didn't you see the Hunter show where he confirmed he's single?
└ Yeah, right...
└ If he's single with that face, I would be his ex-girlfriend, lol.
└ Bitch!
└ Just because someone has a different opinion, you curse at them? The level of Jin Yuha's fans... I'm scared to comment.
└ The parentheses are gone, lol.
└ (Flower on the Cliff) Sorry... I got angry for a moment...
└ I'll forgive you because you apologized.
└ (Flower on the Cliff) Thank you.
└ (Jin Yuha's ex-girlfriend) So, how far did Jin Yuha and Se-hee go? └ This guy is really (Blocked user) └ lol, this guy is so funny! └ lololololololololololol
└ lololololololololololol

[All personnel, after completing the assigned area cleanup, proceed to Sector 56. 'As quickly as possible']
Yoo-ri's face hardened as she read the transmitted order.
In fact, the members of the Utopia party had been informed separately by Shin Se-hee.
A 'chance' that might never come again could be coming their way.
Hoo—
Yoo-ri exhaled lightly and turned her head to look at Alice and Sophia.
"Hoo, Alice, Sophia. Did you just receive it too?"
"Yes."
"Yes!"
"Okay. Let's go. From now on, we're going at full speed. We can't miss this opportunity."
Alice and Sophia nodded seriously.
.
.
.
A few days ago,
Although Shin Se-hee acted as if she had appeared after the training of Sword Emperor and Jin Yuha was over,
In fact, she had finished her work and entered the training ground separately several hours before Jin Yuha came out.
"Have you all finished your training?"
"······Still, it's a bit lacking, but do you have something to say?"
Shin Se-hee smiled as she looked at the party members who were sprawled on the floor, holding their arms and legs in front of Baek Seol-hee.
And that smile contained a slight sense of relief that she was not there.
"Yes, listen to my story for a moment and then continue your training."
When Baek Seol-hee nodded, Shin Se-hee gathered the party members and spoke.
About the movements of the Demons she had investigated this time and how they were moving now.
"What? You want us to share the results because we just hit the last blow after you almost finished the job?"
"Are you crazy!? You're just going to take credit for the work we did!"
"Hmm, aren't you just taking credit for your disciple's achievements? It seems pretty clear from what you're doing today."
"That, that's······."
As the party members and Baek Seol-hee became agitated by the Demons' schemes,
Shin Se-hee clapped her hands to regain their attention.
"Come on, that's not it. I could solve this on my own, but we all need to stand together."
"Why?"
"Well, there's a slightly unusual demon among them."
"······Unusual Demon?"
"Yes, that Demon refers to himself as the 'Demon of Affection'."
"··The Demon's name is so weird."
"Ah, you mean that guy."
Baek Seol-hee, who knew more about Demons than anyone else, seemed to know what she was talking about.
"That guy······. As you said, he's not much of a deal, but he's not that dangerous, so I've let him live so far. But why him."
"Do you know what that Demon's ability is?"
"Hmm, other than the subtle curse that makes party members feel affection for each other······. You, are you serious······!"
Baek Seol-hee's pupils dilated for a moment.
"Yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All of us will become the 'official' co-lovers of Jin Yuha."
Shin Se-hee spoke to the party members with a thick smile on her lips.
In a desolate slum of the United States, in Zone 56, all members of the Utopia party except Jin Yuha had gathered.
This was before Jin Yuha had even brought Charlotte's son to the Academy. In less than half a day, they had managed to wrap up their respective zones and assemble here, a truly astonishing feat.
"Huff!"
"Haa... Haa..."
"Sssss... Phew..."
The party members, still catching their breath and with beads of sweat on their foreheads, looked at each other awkwardly.
"Well... you all came so quickly?"
Shin Se-hee looked at them with a sour expression before speaking.
"I did ask you to come early, but I didn't expect you to be this prompt. You all seemed to be in quite a hurry."
Of course, thick beads of sweat were also visible on Shin Se-hee's forehead.
"I don't think you're the one to talk, Se-hee. You know how much you nagged us to get here— Ouch!"
Ichika, who had just finished cleaning up Zone 55 with Shin Se-hee and had used all the mana she could find to transport Se-hee here with her shadow, tried to interject but was silenced by Se-hee's hand over her mouth.
"Ehm, anyway! Well, since you're all here so quickly, we can review our plan. This is actually a good thing."
"Hey, is that love demon or whatever really here?"
Lim Ga-eul asked.
"Yes, we wiped out all the demons, and this one must have felt threatened and gone into hiding. This place is the safest for demons. And the tracking device I attached to it is pointing right here."
When did she even attach a tracking device?
This proved that Shin Se-hee's claim that she could wipe them all out herself was not an empty boast.
"Um, I've been wondering about this for a while. Why is making people get along considered a curse?"
"Yeah, why is that a curse? Isn't it a good thing for the party?"
"That's because of his twisted taste."
Baek Seol-hee explained to the puzzled party members.
"Twisted taste?"
"Yes, demons are creatures that derive pleasure from fulfilling their own twisted desires. This one is no different. He calls himself the Love Demon, but his true nature is jealousy." "Jealousy..."
"He usually targets mixed-gender parties, making everyone fall in love with the same person, blinding them with jealousy, and causing them to turn on each other, thus breaking up the party."
"Huh?"
An awkward atmosphere filled the party members.
"Oh my god."
"What a truly horrifying demon."
"Yeah, making everyone fall in love with the same person and turning them against each other..."
Those who spoke up, their voices tinged with embarrassment, soon averted their gazes, feeling awkward.
After all, they had experienced something similar themselves.
The dirty and cunning mind games they had played with each other over Jin Yuha, which had only recently been resolved through negotiations.
If any one of them had prioritized their own feelings over Jin Yuha's, Utopia would have fallen apart long ago.
"But then... isn't this dangerous?"
Lim Ga-eul frowned as she spoke.
"Dangerous?"
"Well, to be honest, none of us can claim to be free from jealousy. If that's amplified..."
Lim Ga-eul didn't finish her sentence, but the rest could easily guess what she meant.
'There might be a bloodbath.'
But then, Shin Se-hee scoffed.
"Hmph, do you think I wouldn't have considered that?"
[Utopia LIVE (ON)]
The Utopia live broadcast began.
-Huh?
-A sudden broadcast!?
-Oh, GOAT... the highest mountain, the longest river...
-Loving Jin Yuha is like peeing your pants... everyone can see it, but only I know how warm it is...
-What a terrible metaphor!
-Cheer for Utopia! Cheer for Utopia! Cheer for Utopia! Cheer for Utopia! Cheer for Utopia! Cheer for Utopia!
-The world's strongest party is here!
People flocked to the sudden broadcast, immediately showering the party with adoration.
This was not long after Utopia had cleared the Demon Gate, and the internet was still buzzing with excitement. The whole world's attention was on them.
-Huh? Everyone's here today?
-Wow, even Cheonhwa is in her combat gear???
-And Alice, who just enrolled, is here too!!! Wow, they all look amazing together...
-It's a well-known fact that Utopia picks members based on looks.
-Shouldn't we give our new member, Alice, a nickname too? Since she uses a sword, how about Sword Blossom?
-Sword Blossom? I saw her fight, and she's more like a Lu Bu. Such a delicate nickname doesn't suit her.
-Hey! Isn't that the instructor from a while back? The one Jin Yuha calls his master!
Shin Se-hee, who was rarely seen in combat, Alice, the new member of Utopia, and Baek Seol-hee, who had only appeared once on the broadcast but was known as Jin Yuha's master, were all present.
The full party combination of Utopia, rarely seen, was a sight that thrilled the audience.
However, people soon noticed the absence of a key member.
-Where's Jin Yuha?
The leader and head of the party, Jin Yuha, was not seen on screen!
"Hello!"
Sophia greeted the drone camera with a bubbly voice.
"We're here without Jin Yuha!"
-Sophia! Sophia!
-You're so pretty!!
-Your voice is so cute...
-Secretly?
-What are you doing secretly?
"Well, to briefly explain the situation... We cleared the Demon Gate, right? But the demons are after the spoils."
• Oh no.
•
• Crazy...
•
• Those damn demon bugs, can't they just be eradicated?
•
• Sorry to be serious, but shouldn't this be kept off the broadcast? What if they all run away after watching this?
•
"Haha, don't worry. They're gone. There's only one demon left."
Sophia smiled sweetly, but what she really meant was that they had already taken care of them.
"Anyway, there's only one demon left, and we need to pass a test."
-What kind of test?
"Um, we were told that Utopia can't do anything without Jin Yuha, or that the party members are too dependent on him!"
"That's not a suspicion, it's a fact."
Baek Seol-hee, who was standing nearby, retorted in a cold voice.
"So, we've been training hard."
Baek Seol-hee scoffed at Sophia's cheeky remark and turned her head away.
"As you just saw, the instructor doesn't seem to have much faith in us. This time, we're going to show her that we can take down a demon without Jin Yuha!"
"Sophia, focus. This is the demon's hideout, and there are probably traps everywhere."
At that moment, Yoo-ri stepped forward and spoke in a firm voice.
"Alright! Our sub-party leader is speaking. Well, that's all for the broadcast! From now on, watch our real-life action!"
And so, Utopia, without Jin Yuha, entered the alley of the slum.
