Korea Hunter Association main building.

Yujin walked away with a crackling sound.

“I will go in. I am Yujin Lim, the team leader of the Emergency Response Committee.”

– Kik.

A man was standing by the window. He confirmed that Eugene came in and lowered the blinds.

“Is the plan going well?”

“Yes. It is going well.”

Eugene stopped in front of his desk with a controlled gait.

The man said without looking back.

“Anything like that, I haven’t heard any news about it, but that’s right.”

“… Convincing an S-rank Hunter is not an easy task. Moreover, the powers given to me are few.”

The Hunter Association is government-affiliated.

However, not many people belong here.

This was the reason.

While ordering to appease Han Seong-hoon, who turned out to be a new S-class hunter, the authority given to Eugene, who is in charge, is only 500 million won.

It was a difficult condition to appease even an A-class hunter, let alone an S-class hunter.

“Does an S-class Hunter look like a snob who only works with money?”

Only then did Go Gyeong-tae, the president of the association, look back.

He seemed as greedy as the wrinkles.

Eugene bit his lip slightly.

“no.”

Gyung-tae, Yu-jin’s superior, was a former activist generation.

The type of person who wins what they want by putting the cause of the cause ahead of the truth.

So, it must have been a ridiculous order to appease an S-class hunter with 500 million won.

“However, we are doing the best we can under that condition.”

“Doing a part-time job at a noodle restaurant?”

Kyungtae sat down and crossed his legs. he said arrogantly.

“It’s not that I doubt your ability, but the upper management doesn’t like it.”

“… I understand. However, this is absolutely necessary to get him into government.”

“Tell me. What is your plan? In my eyes, you’re just wasting your time.”

Eugene was used to this.

The so-called superiors are always those who have the mindset of ‘Of course, when the country calls, you have to follow it!’

Here, the extremely normal phrase ‘Hunter is not a soldier’ was not used.

Eugene was a civil servant. The public servant knew very well that sometimes, rather than spitting out the truth, it was more important to convince them with appropriate words.

“As a result of the investigation, Han Seong-hoon, an S-class hunter, is analyzed as a person who is vulnerable to affection.”

“You are vulnerable to emotion.”

“Yes. It’s a part-time job for that. It is the conclusion that it is advantageous for negotiations to maintain the position closest to him.”

Kyeong-tae showed a half-convincing expression at her words.

“He is an easy person. But I mean, the people at the top don’t talk like that. Not everyone is as merciful as me. I don’t have time. Eugene.”

“… Yes. We will produce the desired result as soon as possible.”

“You shouldn’t be late. because.”

Kyeong-tae paused for a moment, then let out a mean laugh.

It was a very uncomfortable laugh, like the scales of a snake.

“Your brother, shouldn’t you have an operation?”

– Knock it.

Eugene bit his molars and lowered his head. Her clenched fists trembled.

**

-Destructive Mace (S)

[Literally a destructive mace.]

[With a low probability, the average destructive power can be 100 times greater.]

“The weapon is perfect for my younger brother to use.”

Golden Mace.

Even this is an S-class weapon, so the size is automatically adjusted.

In other words, it’s a weapon that’s perfect for our little ones.

Besides, I like the effect.

100 times the power. Even if it’s temporary, my brother is pretty lucky.

Will it explode well?

In any case, it would be much more useful than the old weapon he was using now.

That’s why I secretly(?) stole it.

The problem is that there is no way to convey this.

‘I’m sure you’ll be suspicious. They might think it was stolen from somewhere.’

But when I thought about it, the stolen weapon was right.

… Anyway, aside from that trivial matter, I don’t know how to give this to my brother.

Come to think of it, there is also the ‘Absolute Shield’ that Yoo Shia should have obtained the other day.

“Ha, that’s troubling. Even if I have something good, I can’t give it to you, so I want it.”

Currently I am incompetent.

He was a very ordinary noodle restaurant owner.

I couldn’t find the probability that the noodle restaurant owner had such expensive artifacts and weapons. Existence itself is an error.

“… Did you come and pick it up?”

… Like my brother’s personality, he would probably run to the police station.

It was time to breathe a sigh over a difficult problem.

-Kakao Talk!

I heard the phone ringing.

-Lim Yoo-jin: The boss. Do you have time today?

-Lim Yujin: If it’s okay, would you like to have a meal with me?

“yes?”

I tilted my head at the unexpected Kakao Talk.

Is this… …

“Are you asking me out on a date?”

Today was the only shop holiday of the week.

Shouldn’t I have some time off too?

It’s been a long time since Chaewon went out to train with Shia.

‘Keuheum, it’s difficult even if he’s popular.’

Eugene met many beauties in his previous life, but among them, he was the owner of a superior appearance.

A weekend with a girl like that?

There’s no way I’d hate it as long as I’m a man.

-Ag When?

As if he was looking at the screen, the number 1 disappears right away.

I smiled heartily. Be quick-tempered, too. Mildang is not a good character, right?

-Yujin Lim: ..I’m bored. Can I meet you right away?

It was the moment to send a reply.

-Tiririk.

I heard the door lock open.

“Brother!”

“What, didn’t you say you were going to train?”

Chaewon came in with a bright appearance.

Chaewon wasn’t the only one who came. In the background, as always, a modest Sia could be seen. Bowing her head, she cautiously entered the house.

“Since Sia wants to come to my house to play. To take a break… I’m here to eat too!”

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“uh? long time no see.”

I was greeted with a smile.

“Brother, we are hungry! Make me tteokbokki.”

He was like my younger brother, knowing how he bought rice cake yesterday.

“Chaewon, wash your hands first.”

“Um, I get it. Shiaya, I’ll wash up first.”

“Yes, go.”

Chaewon went into the bathroom. After a while, the sound of water was heard.

“You sit comfortably too. It won’t be long.”

Tteokbokki is relatively simple to cook.

It seemed that there would be no setbacks to the date with Eugene.

First of all, it would be perfect if the two of you feed the rice and prepare quickly before going out.

“Yes, thank you.”

Sia gently sat down on the sofa.

I glanced at her and opened the refrigerator door.

Then he took out the necessary ingredients and put them on the table.

“How’s the noodle house going?”

“Somehow, thanks to YouTube lately, it’s not bad.”

“That’s fortunate. Oppa’s noodles are delicious, so I thought it would work out.”

It was Sia who spoke as pretty as her face.

“You said something bad happened recently, are you feeling well?”

“Yeah. Thanks.”

– Stop.

I glanced at her.

I wondered what he meant.

Shia smiled faintly.

‘I’m sure he wasn’t caught?’

I felt some kind of uneasiness.

Last Day.

It reminded me of the scene where Yoo Shia looked at me wearing a mask with a surprised expression.

If she was quick-witted, she would have been suspicious enough.

However, she blindly believes in her own authority.

I confirmed that the status window did not appear, so my identity would not have been discovered.

“Hey, can I ask you one question?”

I opened my mouth while preparing the ingredients.

“Okay, feel free to ask.”

“What did Chaewon do on practice day?”

“I did business, I’m busy.”

At Shia’s sudden question, I spit out the words without going through my head.

Maybe Chaewon said something.

“Oh, I see.”

I deliberately kept my eyes on the cutting board.

I felt like I shouldn’t look at her now.

“By the way, Chaewon said it was a day off.”

‘… !’

What I feared happened.

Cold sweat ran down his back.

The tension you feel after getting an instant kill.

I pretended to be calm and opened my mouth.

“Ah, that is the day. I was mistaken for a while That day, I had a small party with part-timers.”

Did you know that small lies lead to bigger lies?

The words that could not be picked up increased more and more.

‘Calm down, Han Seong-hoon. The opponent is a high school girl.’

For some reason, it felt like it was drying on her face.

I deliberately poured all my nerves into cooking.

Even so, her gaze felt from behind.

this is clear

‘I doubt it.’

No, even if I said I was caught, it was safe to say.

I was careful that I was careful, but Sia noticed.

What should I say?

Is it a secret from your brother?

How did it happen?

It was a time when I was thinking and wrapping my hair.

“Sia, wash your hands too.”

Chaewon came out of the bathroom.

“Okay. Oppa, we’ll talk later.”

“What were you talking about?”

Chaewon came to the kitchen.

“I didn’t say much.”

I put on an awkward smile.

**

Mealtime in silence.

The only sound was the rattling of chopsticks.

“As expected, my older brother’s cooking skills have improved. Very good!”

It was Chaewon who broke the silence.

“Originally, I did this much.”

I said while looking at Chaewon, but my nerves were focused only on Yusia.

‘How should I talk about this.’

It’s too complicated to explain from one to ten.

I have to talk about it in a way that she can understand.

I couldn’t come up with a proper way.

“Is Shiaya delicious?”

“Yeah, I think you can do business.”

“Thank you for saying that. tell me if you need more I will do it soon.”

“it’s okay. You are already full.”

“Eh, I think I’m lacking a bit… ”

Judging from the younger sister’s usual reaction, it doesn’t seem like Sia said anything to Chaewon.

‘Was it an illusion?’

Even if she had doubts, there would be no hard evidence.

I thought I made a hasty decision.

“I really enjoyed the meal.”

“Thank you, I ate well.”

After finishing their meal, the two put the dishes in the sink.

“Chaewon, then, I’ll go now. I have work to do.”

“already? I’ve only eaten tteokbokki yet. Hing.”

“I’ll come play again next time. Brother, I will go alone. Thank you for preparing a delicious meal for me today.”

“Oh, yes. Come play again.”

‘Am I just going?’

I looked at her carefully.

She put on her coat and headed for the front door.

At this point, I think I made a hasty decision.

“Good bye. Shiaya! See you at school tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll come visit you next time.”

-Tiriling.

She opened the door lock.

Shia paused for a moment and then turned her head.

“Ah, brother. I will talk about what I said earlier. the two of you.”

“… … .”

‘I was caught.’

The front door was closed.

I stared at the front door with empty eyes.

Are there any artifacts that erase memories?

it was time to think

“Brother, what is it? what did you talk to sia? Just the two of you.”

“I didn’t say much.”

“brother? no. Sia is my friend You can’t even dream of dating a high school girl!”

I looked at Chaewon with bewildered eyes.

“It’s not like that.”

I sat down on the sofa and opened my mouth.

‘Come to think of it, I guess I was trying to do something.’

I couldn’t remember because of what just happened.

**

Inside the spacious cafe.

A woman like a pictorial was sitting sipping coffee.

“What are you really doing?”

Eugene had been staring at his smartphone since earlier.

She prepared a new strategy to attract Seong-hoon as quickly as possible.

Today, I also received makeup at a special shop.

However, despite the disappearance of KakaoTalk 1, Sung Hoon was not informed.

“Could it be me Was it windy?”

She put on a dejected expression.
