Heroine Hunts Heroines

Shinohara Clan

[Korea! Following the defeat of Hwangryong in the West Sea and a series of victories in Pyongyang, Chinese forces have been driven beyond the Yalu River! For the first time in 105 years since the establishment of the Republic of Korea, the entire Korean Peninsula has been reclaimed!]

• "Anyone here who said Korea was going to fall? Come out now. Thanks to you, I bet my entire fortune on China and lost it all."
• "wwwwww Netouyo fools. Didn’t it become obvious when you looked at Korea’s lineup? wwww Thanks for the free money~ wwww"
• "The Japan-Korea Alliance is solid www."
• "It’s the Japan-US-Korea Alliance, idiot."
• "The Shinohara Shogunate should recruit Yoo Eun-ha immediately!"

Japanese hunter-related forums were ablaze with discussions following Korea's string of victories.

Shinohara Yuzuki, who had been scrolling through the forums, smirked.

“To think they won without support from the West or Japan.”

Not that Japan was in a position to offer help—the situation had deteriorated to the point where they had to deploy obsolete magical combat aircraft against Hwangryong.
In preparation to aid Korean refugees, Shinohara Yuzuki had stationed the Shinsengumi in Nagasaki, ready to move to Kyushu.
But things had taken an unexpected turn.

From a war-torn, barren land, Korea had risen to reclaim its position as a first-world nation—a miraculous people, indeed.

“Historically, hasn’t Korea performed quite well in wars against China?” commented Shinohara Mariko, who had been silently observing.

“Click.”

“And why the sigh?”

“It’s not just that recruiting Yoo Eun-ha has become more difficult. She has a lover—Seo Ji-yeon, of all people. And then there’s Ha Jung-seok. He’s no ordinary man either.”

Never in her wildest dreams had Shinohara Yuzuki expected Seo Ji-yeon, a candidate for sainthood, to be Yoo Eun-ha’s lover.
This made recruiting her exponentially harder.
And as for Ha Jung-seok, whom she had assumed to be an incompetent figurehead, he turned out to be surprisingly tenacious.

The cadet days of Ha Jung-seok and Zhang Hachae were legendary even in Japan.
The intercepted call between the Blue House and the Chairman’s Palace, obtained through the Shinsengumi, had been truly astounding.@@novelbin@@

To respond to a threat with an equally brazen counterthreat?

“To think Ha Jung-seok would counter Zhang Hachae’s threats with his own. But China still has the Sins and a million hunters. Can Korea really win? They could be pushed back to Seoul again.”
