The Hunter's Association. Specifically, the towering skyscraper called Babel, which served as the Eternal Horizon's headquarters.
There, the Legendary Hunter, Lee Shin, sat at his desk and sipped on a cup of coffee while he waited for news about his granddaughter. Although he was already 86, he didn't look a day over 18. The only thing that showed his age was the pure white hair on his head, long bleached by time.
But though he had been waiting for news all day, he didn't need to wait much longer.
Just five minutes past midnight, the door to his office burst open as a pair of Hunters rushed in. One was the Hunter assigned to keep an eye on Yura. The other was the PR manager.
Both looked frantic.
The Hunter assigned to watch Yura spoke up first. "Mister President! Lady Shin, she...!"
The PR manager interrupted and said, "President! Your daughter let herself be kissed in front of a crowd of people! And after, she willingly followed an unknown young man off into the distance!"
Lee looked at both of the men. Then he let out a soft chuckle. "I see. So the little girl finally grew up."
The PR manager froze. Then he said, "You aren't going to do anything?"
Lee laughed. "My daughter ran off with my son-in-law around Little Yura's age. I'm not sure if you all remembered, but it was quite the wild experience."
Lee could still remember it like it was yesterday.
That crazy daughter of his who took way too much after her mother... Just like Lee's wife ran away with him from America, his daughter ran away TO America with her husband, Lee's now son-in-law.
And now history was repeating itself with his granddaughter running off with some unknown young man.
Lee chuckled and said, "It serves my son-in-law and daughter right. They always were too strict on little Yura. We'll consider this her teenaged rebellion."
The Hunter in charge of watching Yura spoke up and said, "But Mister President! What if Lady Shin... Th-that is... um..."
Lee laughed and said, "If she gets pregnant, then so be it. I'll send the audacious young man a fruit basket while her parents get ready to hunt him down."
The PR manager groaned at Lee's words. "...This is going to be a disaster, President."
Lee smiled and said, "No such thing. For aspiring Hunters, any news is good news. And it'll be a valuable lesson for little Yura. Now." His expression sharpened as he turned towards the Hunter who had been assigned to watch Yura. "Hunter Kim."
The Hunter, Kim Gyun, nodded. "Yes, Mister President?"
Lee leaned back in his chair, his brown eyes flashing an ethereal gold as he said, "I heard that the entire platoon was wiped out in a D-Ranked Gate. Give me the details."
Kim Gyun hesitated. "Well, Mister President. According to what Lady Shin said..."
A brief summary later. A report about how the usual gate excursion turned into a double gate. How the double gate opened over the skies of New Seoul and threatened to turn into a Gate Outbreak just like the Skyfall Incident. The involvement of a demon named Belial who apparently nullified Lady Shin's S-Ranked ability. And how it was hopeless before a mysterious young man resolved the situation, disappearing into the crowd.
"Interesting." Lee rubbed his chin. "I've never heard of an ability like that. And there aren't any registered Hunters of that capability in New Seoul right now."
Kim Gyun nodded. "I had asked Lady Shin if it might be one of the Ten undercover, but she was certain it was a young man her age."
Lee chuckled. "Well... that eases this old man's heart." He shifted his gaze off into the distance. "I managed to defeat the Dragon King. But from the look of it, more monsters of that caliber are coming..." He subconsciously massaged his heart.
Kim Gyun noticed, his eyes widening. "Mister President?"
Lee laughed. "Well... this old man is old. I likely only have a decade. Less if those bastards send strong ones over." He smiled. "I was worried that this world would be in danger... but it seems history has a fun way of repeating. I wonder if that young man understands what sort of power he possesses?"
To be able to erase a demon like Belial with a single slash and also eliminate the Gate...
"Ah, how nostalgic." Lee chuckled. "Well. Leave it be for now." He shifted his gaze to the PR manager and said, "Park Rajin. Just spin it as a whirlwind romance. And bring up my daughter's past to contrast it."
The PR manager, Park Rajin, froze. Then he started to sweat. "President, Sir. Not to doubt your words, but... won't your daughter, Lady Eunhwa... Won't she try to kill me?"
Lee stood up and walked around, patting Park Rajin's shoulder. "I'll send my regards to your family."
Park Rajin slowly blinked. Then he sighed and said, "...Well. At least Lady Eunhwa and Sir Kyle are out of the country at the moment..."
"That's the spirit." Lee laughed. Then he hummed and looked in the distance towards where he sensed his granddaughter's presence. "Still, I'm surprised. I took little Yura to be a serious girl. To think that she was even wilder than-"
Lee's words suddenly cut off, his eyes widening in surprise. Then he deliberately waved his hand over his eyes and ears, sealing off his senses. After that, he chuckled and said, "Ah. So even an old man like me has lessons to learn in this age..."
"Mister President?"
Lee laughed. "Well. I suppose I should prepare for a baby shower. Just in case."
"MISTER PRESIDENT?!"

Saturday morning. Eight hours of sleepless activity later, I was in bed cuddling a very much naked and blushing Yura in my arms. Also a STICKY Yura. In MANY ways.
Yura buried her face in my chest and murmured, "I'm dead. I must be dead. This has to be a dream. Oh god, I wasn't even drunk... I don't have any excuses..."
I laughed and kissed her neck. "Mm... too late for regrets, Miss 'No Takebacks.'"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Yura smacked my chest and blushed. "And why are you this fit?! What's with that sleeper build?! It's not fair! Why couldn't you just be like, nerdy! Slim! Ordinary! Why are you so fucking hot, you cheating bastard!"
I smiled and traced her curves with my hands. "Mm... I should be saying that to you. Compared to how much training you do, you're very cuddly and curvy instead of all muscle."
"Eep! You...!" Yura groaned and collapsed in my arms. "I hate you. No, I love you. And I hate that I love you. How? Why? This isn't fair!"
I kissed her cheek. "Mm. Love you too. Don't worry." I chuckled and patted her belly. "I'll take proper responsibility. Even if you were incredibly reckless."
Yura froze, her violet eyes flying open. Then she sat up, placing her hands down there. And when she felt the sticky fluids from us both mixed together there...
"...Oh my god. I did it. I actually did it. I'm crazy. Holy crap." Yura covered her face. "My life is oooveeerrrrrr. I'm too young to be a mom...!"
