124 – You do my line.
“Two million won without runes… After…”
Yeon-hee breathed out a few trembling breaths as she walked holding my hand while I was in hiding.
‘I hold my hand as if it were natural…’
For some reason, I stare at her from the side, catching all my floating feelings.
She still had a look on her face that made it hard to believe that she could earn this much in a day.
‘Considering that it’s a job risking one’s life, it still makes money.’
Of course, if all the hunters who entered this dungeon could earn this kind of income, that wasn’t the case.
Most of the hunters who participated in the boss fight with us would have fallen far short of our income.
Of course, that was a high income compared to a normal job, but considering consumables such as potions, treatment costs, equipment repair costs, and the mental wear and tear of facing monsters, etc., It was not enough for D-class hunters to earn a lot of money.
“If I keep going like this… Even if I sell all my runes and work 5 days a week, I think I’ll earn at least 100 million won a month. Wow… In a few months, I’ll be able to move into a country house. Is this really real?”
Nod-nod-
She talked about her plans for the future with an excited look on her face.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a house on the outskirts where there are not too many people, I should buy another dog and make a friend for him, I should make a house with a wide yard even though the house is a bit small, etc.
Her face was filled with indescribable happiness, to the point of making me feel uneasy.
While thinking about what to do to make Yeon-hee live in this mood all the time, I felt a familiar energy.
The moment I felt that energy, the existence had already reached the distance that I could catch in my field of vision.
A monster that can travel hundreds of meters in seconds.
‘…Why did that come?’
And after taking a few steps, Yeon-hee’s cell phone rang.
“Ah- Yeonsu unnie.”
“……”
“Hello sister… Yes yes. Alright, how are you? How are you sister- yes? Right?”
Let Yeonhee turn her head to the right.
– Yeonhee!
“Ugh… Ah, hello…”
When Yeon-hee saw Kang Kang-su standing on the other side of the road and waving her hand high, she unconsciously bowed her head to say hello.
It was so cute to see them say hello while holding their cellphone to their ear, but Kang Yeon-soo’s appearance raised my alertness to the limit.
‘Fortunately, there is no early stage…’
Because of the lecturer’s tendency, he would not come along with another strong player, so the alertness that had soared for a while was alleviated.
But even so, I couldn’t let my guard down completely.
Lecture number.
I pretend not to, but I am very open about money, and I am very generous with good-looking men.
He has an appearance complex, but other than that, he has a very generous personality.
Strong against the strong, weak against the weak. A hunter with a rare sense of justice.
As I recalled her in her mind, her evaluations based on her memories from her lifetime were listed one after another.
Looking back at her objectively, I realized that all I knew about her was very flat.
So she can’t be sure if she’s the person I think she is or not.
In the worst case, it can be said that you are being manipulated by Jo Ki-man without your knowledge. I can’t figure out exactly what kind of ability the monster called the incarnation of the Seven Headed Dragons has.
“It’s been a while, Yeonhee.”
“Yes yes. Oh, long time no see sister.”
‘It’s only been a month, but I’m very happy.’
Kang Kang was wearing dark black sunglasses, and it seemed that her face had finally been remodeled.
I heard that doctors who specialize in plastic surgery for hunters are very expensive, but I don’t think Yeonsu should worry about that much.
“No, I had something to do, so I could smell Yeon-hee as I passed by. So, didn’t I work hard? hehehe.”
“Oh… I think I smell something from my body?”
“Oops. I made a mistake. It’s not a smell, it’s a nice scent. It has Yeonhee’s unique scent.”
“… That’s right.”
‘It doesn’t smell like a sweet scent. But what’s up with you There’s really no way we met by chance. He must have come here to meet Yeon-hee.’
“But the friend next to you has grown up a lot, hasn’t it? You’ve become quite usable as Yeon-hee’s bodyguard, right?”
She is as expected, so she grasps my existence casually.
‘… It’s like praising a worker ant for becoming a soldier ant.’
“…… Uhm. Should I show up?”
“Huh. It’s okay, it’s okay. Shall we go to a cafe or something on the street?”
“Yes-“
We moved to the most unoccupied cafe, and after a brief conversation asking each other how we were doing, we were soon able to hear the purpose of our meeting today.
“Now that we’ve met, how about telling you a little bit about the guild?”
“Joe, all right. Yes.”
“hehehe- The guild is planning something fun right now. Well, it’s an event that all other guilds have participated in, but it’s so new to us.”
“What…?”
“Don’t be surprised. Guild competition by name!”
‘Guild Competition? Didn’t he say very badly that if Jogiman participated in it, his level would look low… Participating in it? Why?’
“… Huh? Gi, Guild battle? Uh, that- I wonder what I should do?”
“Puhahahaha- I kept thinking about what Yeon-hee’s reaction would be, but I love that her face is the same as I expected. Cute. So cute, our Yeon-hee.”
“Uhh… Well…”
I can’t imagine how she would feel if an older woman whom she had only met a few times was so fond of herself.
It was clear, however, that Yeon-hee was still having a hard time with Kang-soo.
“It’s April. If you think Yeon-hee will join our guild right away from April, it will start about 15 days after joining the company. Guild competitions are so famous that you don’t have to tell them, right?”
“Oh, yes. I know it’s a big tournament. I’ve seen it broadcast sometimes.”
“That’s right. It’s simply sparring lightly with the guilds bouncing around, how about I want Yeon-hee to participate in it?”
‘Hmm… It might be worth the money, but there are risks in many ways…’
“Yes? Me, me? That, wouldn’t that be a bit difficult… Being the guild representative as soon as you enter the guild… And I’m weak…”
“Don’t worry. In this tournament, only up to level C participates, and there is no limit on the number of participants in the guild, so dogs and sonas- hmm- hmm- just a lot of participants? Well, as a guild representative, I don’t feel that kind of pressure at all- I don’t- you don’t have to.”
“Um…But…”
“And look at Yeonhee’s growth rate. It’s been a little over a month since her second awakening, and she’s already in D-class. She’s faster than me, right?”
‘You monster, you were at that speed even without the second awakening.’
“So you can wear this bracelet and compete.”
“A bracelet…?”
‘… That bracelet already? It’s fast…’
The item Yeonsu Kang gave was an item called a bracelet of solidarity.
A bracelet engraved with beautiful curves inside a small square plate with a pattern of overlapping index fingers.
It was an accessory that was often dropped when clearing an A-class dungeon boss battle.
Since it can only be obtained by clearing an A-class dungeon, it can be said that the acquisition difficulty is high, but it was quite a marketable item as it was dropped at a probability to everyone who cleared it regardless of contribution.
If you wear it, it is a useful tool that allows you to check each other’s location in a dungeon. It is both aesthetically and functionally attractive.
However, there is a disadvantage that it does not work in both directions if the difference in status is too great. Therefore, Yeon-hee cannot know Kang Kang-soo’s location, and only Kang Kang-su can figure out Yeon-hee’s location.
But Kang Kang-soo probably didn’t give that item to spy on Yeon-hee. It’s been a long time since we went into the dungeon together anyway, and it’s an item that only works inside the dungeon.
It can be seen that giving a symbolic meaning is more important than that.
Usually, an official who holds a position in a large guild gives it to a person he cares about or a disciple. It means that if you touch the person wearing the bracelet, you are touching yourself, so don’t treat it carelessly.
It’s a story you’d only see in a martial arts novel, but it’s necessary within the guild to create one’s own line like that. Just as it is difficult for the president to be elected as an independent, so is the guild leader.
It is a position that guarantees greater wealth and prestige than the head of a large guild or the chairman of a large corporation.
Buy favor and collect taxes.
We recruit talented people who can help with such activities.
As a way to keep such talented people from being taken away by other competitors, they give bracelets of solidarity.
Then, the purpose of the number of lectures is obvious. She only pushes her early in the White Knights Guild and she wants to make it to the top herself.

For that purpose, Yeon-hee was dotted with the necessary puzzles. In my lifetime, the point at which I presented that bracelet was after I entered the guild, but that time was greatly accelerated.
‘At that time, Yeonhee was strong, but people were too dark. You must have judged that the minus is greater than the plus. I made the offer only later, after I had accumulated more reputation and skills…’
Then why did they do it so quickly now?
“Yeonhee is a hot topic on the Internet these days. Do you know that there are not one or two large broadcasting channels that have already contacted us for her looks and abilities?”
‘It was because of impatience. It’s my intention to catch it before it gets bigger…’
“Ah… Me? I wonder… Do I have to do another interview later?”
When Yeon-hee made an openly embarrassing expression, Kang Kang-soo looked at Yeon-hee with a rather serious expression and said.
“Huhuhu… You probably have no choice but to do that… Yeonhee. You’re still young, but you’re a member of society who’s been a hunter for over half a year… There’s a guild. It’s just… It’s a company. .A company that makes money. Do you understand?”
“…… Yes.”
“If you hear how much our guild’s annual sales are, you’ll probably faint. The reason why I’m telling you this is that our hunters basically live with a noble mission, but that’s because something big happened like the accident that occurred in China 10 years ago. It’s just a story, and usually it’s just a job. A job means earning a living.”
‘So, if you want to make it your job, please bear with me even if it’s uncomfortable?’
“If Yeon-hee has made up her mind to join the guild, I want her to be aware of that fact. I didn’t see one or two kids who entered the guild expecting a great adventure with twinkling eyes at first, but then left in disappointment. There. You know what I mean?”
‘Hmm… You’re being treated like a child… Yeonhee must be more mature than you… It’s just a pity that you can’t laugh because you’re pretending to be an adult. It’s training.’
“Yes… I’m not going in with such high expectations either… Don’t worry. If you think you’ve paid off enough debt…”
“I said this because Yeon-hee has been with me for a long time, but to think that she’s already thinking about leaving… Unnie’s heart hurts so much…”
“Ahh- I’m not thinking of leaving right away either. I don’t know if I’ll get better after experiencing it… Again…”
“Puhuhhh- Ai Yeon-hee is so cute. It’s like a rabbit at a loss of what to do!”
Kang Yeon-soo jumped up and came over and hugged Yeon-hee and rubbed her cheeks for a while.
“Rather than that… I’d like to see the sun, moon, and moon?”
In the end, Kang Yeon-soo called me. If you already know my name, you must know all the information.
“Yes? Ah… Yes. Sunwolah- you can come out.”
Sleep-
As soon as Yeon-hee’s words ran out, he came out of hiding and revealed himself. Kang Kang-soo tilted his head very slowly to the side and stared at me.
“Hmm… This is the Skeleton Soldier I saw a month ago…”
She looked me up and down for a moment, then started muttering with an expressionless face.
“Strength is around 200… Dexterity and Stamina are around 150, no, is the Stamina a bit low?… The sword must be at the level of just getting a novice ticket… Plus stealth… Unique ability A skeleton soldier who uses bone bombs…And even fireballs…”
……
I was just reciting the information I already knew and what I had figured out my abilities based on guesswork, but a suffocating tension swirled around us as if we had stepped into the depths of a dark dungeon.
Even though she didn’t intend it at all, her sharpened S-class hunter’s momentum was trying to influence everything connected with her.
