chapter 20
4 years ago, Han Ye-rim, who woke up, struggled between a hunter and a manager.
In the end, I turned to the manager because it was burdensome to fight for my life in the dungeon.
It was a good choice. Han Ye-rim is the manager of the Ace Guild.
The manager of the ace guild, which is treated as a large guild in the United States, was much better than most hunters.
So, Ye-rim Han’s words about creating a guild were so absurd.
“How is your original job?”
“I quit.”
“Why stop that! I miss it all.”
“Because my work life isn’t right.”
Did you quit the job you worked for for 4 years for that reason?
“I was thinking of going for a while anyway. Before I started a guild, I was trying to build a network and build my own team to come out.”
I knew that Han Ye-rim was planning to create a guild in the first place.
Unlike me, who is heading to the ground, I am an elite who has taken a proper regular course.
“By the way, are you suddenly forming a guild in Korea?”
“ok.”
“why?”
“What are you talking about?”
With a wide smile, Han Ye-rim gave Lee Ji-ah a close-knit greeting.
“Hello, Lee Ji-ah Hunter. It’s been a while. It’s been a month, right? Nice to meet you.”
“… … .”
How come there is no answer
Looking back, I saw that Lee Ji-ah had a sore face.
“Jia?”
“yes? ah!”
Lee Ji-ah smiles awkwardly and shakes her head.
“I was surprised because I never imagined that Yerim would come to my house. It’s nice to see you again.”
“I thought something serious was going to happen because you looked so bad.”
Han Ye-rim trembled. She said to me as she struggled to lift the suitcase.
“Hey, but don’t you think it’s nice? The weather is dark, how long are you going to leave it outside?”
“Oh right! Jia, are you okay for a second?”
“… … Yes. Please do not hesitate to come in.”
I went to the living room with Han Ye-rim. I asked her to sit on the chair.
“coffee? car?”
“Did you say you worked part-time at a cafe? Then coffee!”
“Your taste hasn’t changed? Americano?”
“yes.”
“What about Jia?”
“Me too.”
What I learned is stealing, but I have quite a bit of experience working part-time at cafes, so my coffee-making skills are at a high level.
In the kitchen, while brewing coffee from the machine and humming a song, Han Yoo-jeong hangs next to me with a tired face.
“What’s up?”
“I was playing in the living room… … I’m not in the mood to play.”
“Is it too noisy? Even go into the room.”
Han Yoo-jung checked her cell phone watch.
“No, I think I’ll have to come back anyway, but I’ll just stay by your side.”
“okay? do you want to drink coffee?”
“I can’t sleep when I drink. it’s okay.”
Chwi profit!
Han Yoo-jeong, who was curiously watching the coffee being brewed, suddenly asks.
“mister. It was a game before.”
“yes?”
“Your order is very good, where is the tier?”
He proudly answered Han Yoo-jung’s question.
“Diamond.”
“Really?”
Han Yoo-jung lets out a small exclamation. My nose bridge rises about 1mm and then sinks again.
I suddenly felt pathetic that my 17-year-old had nothing to brag about but his game skills.
what are you doing, really To S-Class Awoken.
“then… … .”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Hey, can you tell me about the game?”
“game?”
“yes.”
“What… … When the time comes.”
It’s not a difficult request, but when I give it to you in a good way, Han Yoo-jeong smiles with satisfaction.
I grabbed my coffee and went to the living room.
Han Ye-rim and Lee Ji-ah were sitting facing each other.
They both crossed their arms and looked at their phones with indifferent faces.
Kakao Talk! Kakao Talk! Kakao Talk!
In the silence, only the noise of the messenger can be heard.
Han Yoo-jeong rubs her forearm from behind and shudders.
“… … It’s creepy, really.”
Lee Ji-ah, feeling popular, raised her head.
“Aren’t your hands not enough?”
“Yoojung helped me. I am sitting.”
I put the coffee on the table to dry Lee Ji-ah from getting up.
Han Ye-rim immediately brought up the main topic.
“I heard the news. Jia is looking for a guild.”
“yes.”
“At the same time, I’m thinking of forming a guild. What do you think, Jia?”
Lee Ji-ah crosses her legs and wiggles her feet.
She puts her arms on the table and crosses her chin, smiling in a relaxed way.
It clearly recognized who A and E were.
“I do not know… … How long have you been working as Yerim’s manager? ?”
“Four years.”
“In four years… … .”
Lee Ji-ah makes a rough calculation and smiles.
“It has been over 10 years since I entered this industry… … .”
“Managers and hunters are completely different in their fields. Lee Ji-ah counted until her days as a promising prospect, and I worked as a manager in a large guild, wiping from the bottom up.”
“But isn’t 4 years too short? When the guild master was young, I was worried that he would be ignored somewhere.”
“I do not know. It’s a career I’ve accumulated at Ace, not anywhere else, but I think it’s absurd to compare it to a decade of small and medium-sized guilds in Korea.”
Druck.
Han Yoo-jung carefully removed her buttocks from the chair. I asked Han Yoo-jeong, who was slowly stepping backwards.
“Where?”
Han Yoo-jung puts her index finger to her mouth, shhh! walked away
She glanced at Lee Ji-ah and Han Ye-rim while they were talking, and whispered softly.
“I’ll be watching TV for a moment.”
“okay? Okay.”
I focused on the conversation between Han Ye-rim and Lee Ji-ah. Snow swords are coming and going.
“Actually, the fact that a guild that is just being created is trying to recruit an S-class hunter is… … I think it’s rude. Aren’t you relying on Hyeonu’s personal connections right now?”
“I wouldn’t have even tried if I was a normal S-class. However, it is a different story if it is an S-class, which shows an unstable appearance in dungeon attack.”
I think the level of conversation has risen a bit.
The moment she wanted something like this to happen, Lee Ji-ah declared as she twisted her hair.
“The conditions are not right. There is not much prepared for Yerim-san’s guild to embrace Hyeon-woo with me.”
Lee Ji-ah put down the coffee cup and said refusal with a single blow.
i wiped my face
Despite Lee Ji-ah’s rejection, Han Ye-rim did not lose her composure.
As I am aware of Lee Ji-ah’s current situation, it was a natural reaction.
“I heard rumors. They were all blacked out by the middle-class guild.”
Lee Ji-ah’s cheeks, who were laughing hard, stiffen.
“I was focused on this one. Jia is the hottest person in the recruitment market right now. Rumors have already been circulating, but I don’t know how.”
Han Ye-rim pulls out her cell phone. At a glance, it seems that other guild managers shared information. Was this the messenger you exchanged earlier?
“If it’s news from an S-class hunter, it spreads quickly.”
Lee Ji-ah is an S-class hunter. Because of mental problems, I couldn’t get the full ransom, but I had to get a minimum down payment.
It is possible to maintain that level of hunters at least at the level of an intermediate guild.
However, there was no reason to hire Lee Ji-ah, who had a serious problem, in a guild of medium or higher rank.
would be in a dilemma.
“Then how are you going to set the down payment for Jia?”
There is sadness in Han Ye-rim’s wide open eyes.
In any case, I am here as Lee Ji-ah’s manager, not Han Ye-rim’s friend.
“… … In fact, I have enough money to pay Lee Ji-ah a two-year down payment.”
“What? How did the manager get that much money?”
“If you are a manager of an S-class hunter in a large guild, there is a way to save money… … .”
“… … .”
“People who want to build connections with S-class hunters are also given a bribe… … .”
“… … .”
“why? what? Am I good enough for you?”
“Okay, so?”
Han Ye-rim, who was coughing in vain, continued.
“By the way, this money should be used as the guild reserve. Running a guild without a penny is nonsense.”
“Then what will Jia receive?”
“Guild share.”
Han Ye-rim folded her arms. It looks like she doesn’t like it, but that’s all she can concede in the end.
“The only products I can sell are me and the guild share.”
Han Ye-rim’s personal network and know-how who worked in a large American guild.
It is trading the value of the future, not the present.
“… … .”
A long silence followed. The choice was ultimately up to Lee Ji-ah. Lee Ji-ah, who was worried, answered with an unwilling face.
“… … I know. I will make a contract.”
Han Ye-rim jumped up from her seat. She smiled and looked down at Lee Ji-ah.
“I really enjoyed our conversation today. Jia.”
Tick tock tock.
Lee Ji-ah glanced at her watch. The clock hand was pointing to 12 o’clock. The corners of Lee Ji-ah’s lips rise slightly.
“Yerim, come to think of it, it’s too late, have you booked a place to stay?”
“There is a hotel. why?”
“Don’t do that, stay at my house and go. It’s 12 o’clock now, when can I catch a taxi? I’ll give you a room, so get some rest and leave tomorrow.”
Han Ye-rim makes a bewildered face.
“… … Then I’ll go to sleep without hesitation.”
Ding Dong!
The clock hand points to 12 o’clock.
Suddenly, you feel a heavy sensation in your back.
What is this?
It was Han Yoo-jung. Han Yoo-jeong, who was hanging around, asked.
“Mister, isn’t the story over yet? I am sleepy.”
Confused, I suddenly realized that tomorrow is Sunday.
So, chronologically, now is Sunday.
It was the date when Han Yoo-jeong’s Cheonsalseong ran out by 7 days.
“Ah, you are a thousand years old today—”
“Shh! Hyunwoo!”
Lee Ji-ah covered my mouth. She looked into Han Ye-rim’s eyes and whispered softly.
“I can’t tell you yet.”
“No, Yerim will also work together… … .”
“You didn’t sign the contract.”
It’s a dojo, that’s another word.
I swallowed my saliva and looked at Han Ye-rim.
Miss, I just saw it. eyes are fierce
I scratch the nape of my neck, which is getting colder, and Lee Ji-ah pulls my arm.
“We will go to sleep. Yerim is… … You can use my room. Oh, it’s right next door to the room we’re in.”
As Lee Ji-ah is dragging me, I hear a cold, hard voice behind me.
“hey.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Are you going to sleep with Lee Ji-ah and Han Yu-jeong?”
Now the name is omitted.
I barely nod my rusty head, but Lee Ji-ah pulls me tight.
I was afraid to see Han Ye-rim’s face, so I went into the room with Lee Ji-ah.
