28 – Date with Ha Yeon-3
“Who are you? Identify yourself!”
“It’s me, these guys. Did you even forget your captain’s face because you weren’t there for a while?”
“Do you want me to go to another city and treat you like a captain?”
“Don’t you know that once a captain is a captain forever?”
Seeing that they were talking kindly, I thought they were pretty friendly people.
Maybe they weren’t subordinates when working in this city? I don’t know the details because I don’t check the news often, but I think I’ve heard that he served as the chief of the guard when he worked here.
“Still, you have to reveal your identity. The atmosphere in the city is unusual these days. Even the captain won’t let you see it.”
“You know the atmosphere is unusual? But why didn’t you report it to me?”
“Why do you report our city to the captain of the next city guard?
this woman is a great person
Seeing how she naturally responded to Hayeon’s words, it didn’t seem like she had been harassed for a day or two.
“And it’s not normal to cross the city. I have to do my job and take a break, so why go see it?”
“This one doesn’t lose a word. But why are you watching the gate guard? Surely you weren’t demoted because you were pushed by another guy while I was gone?
“I told you earlier, the atmosphere in the city is unusual these days. I’m here to prepare for any possible invasion from the outside.”
“Hey, it seems that Sol has grown a lot too? Seeing that the manpower is wide enough to place an A-class Awakener on guard.”
It was a cold tone.
It was absolutely not the way he believed the words of the woman in front of him.
“It’s true. One A-class Awakener has been dispatched to all three doors now.”
“It’s so important that you didn’t tell me?”
“Isn’t that city too formidable? There are rumors that the bitch who ruled the underworld has been promoted to S-class, but he might not bother to contact the captain who will be busy watching over there.”
I see you are talking about the moon. Well, it must be urgent from the Sun Guild’s point of view, because the existence that tried to collect and manage only the dark parts of the city moderately has been promoted to S-class, with less than 10 people on the Korean Peninsula.
“By the way, are you going to continue talking about work? It’s not like you’ve dated a lover because of the captain’s personality, and you probably found the older brother you’ve been looking for so much, but didn’t you bring him to work?”
“I’m here to eat.”
“If you continue to talk like this, how would you feel, brother? Just eat and die today, and protest to the guild leader later.”
He seems to know very well how to deal with this person, Ha-yeon.
If we meet later, ask how we are doing.
“Ha, okay. So how are you going to verify your identity? You don’t even have a separate ID.”
“Since the captain is an S-class Awakener, you can show your power and enter.”
“What about our older brother?”
“You can’t go in.”
“What is this bastard?”
Even though it wasn’t directed at me, Ha-yeon released a strong force that made her heart explode, but the woman who received that momentum just smiled, saying that she was used to it.
“It’s a joke. If the captain serves as a witness, you can bring it in. Instead, if the captain’s older brother causes an accident, the captain will have to take responsibility as well.”
“This new… bitch is still playing around.”

Now, if you look at me and stop cursing, will anything change, Ha Yeon-ah?
“So how do I show authority? It’s not just about cutting well. Not one or two people have skills related to cutting.”
“Wait a minute. Hey, go and pick up four twigs.”
At her command, the other people who had been frozen until now began to move.
“You only need to cut the middle neatly.”
Holding three twigs stacked vertically, he held out another twig to Ha-yeon.
“It’s nothing.”
Ha-yeon naturally grabbed the twig she gave her and swung it toward another twig.
It was a stumpy tree beggar, but Ha-yeon’s power was definitely related to cutting, so the branch she swung naturally passed through other branches.

“Yes, you are, Captain.”
“Is this confirmed?”
“Yes, even the guild leader can’t do this.”
‘No, does that make sense?’
The only branch that fell to the ground was the one in the middle.
I’m sure I saw it go past all three twigs…
“You’re boring. Can I go in now?”
“Yes, it’s annoying to open the door for nothing, so just jump over it.”
“If you try to jump over it, the barrier will ring a notification. Did you really think I wouldn’t remember that?”
“This was the last test. I’ll open it for you, so feel free to pass.”
I pressed a button and the door opened immediately.
“Have a good time with your older brother. Captain.”
“Okay, I’m coming. See you later.”
“All right.”
“Brother, you’ve been waiting for a long time, right? Let’s go in now.”
Being human can change so quickly. It was a completely different tone from the one she used to address her subordinates just a moment ago.
Look at the face of the woman behind you. His mouth wide open is the expression of ‘My captain can say such a thing?’
“yes.”
There were a few things I wanted to ask, but it won’t be too late to do it later while eating.
As soon as the door opened, the scenery that was visible was, of course, a slum.
The outskirts of the city are relatively more dangerous than the center. The fact that poor people had no choice but to live seemed to be the same in our city and in Sol.
What was different about our city was that the size of the slums was smaller than ours? I didn’t walk very long, but when I got out of the slums, it looked like a better place to live than our city as a whole.
‘It could be.’
It’s the capital of the Sun Guild, but if it’s not different from our city, it has its own problems.
“Here.”
It wasn’t a luxurious place like Ha-yeon said. It wasn’t a long walk to the center, and the store’s appearance was quite shabby. Even the location was in a corner, so it was a place where people passing nearby could not be seen.
“The rent must be expensive. Doing business in a place like this.”
“The president said he didn’t want too many people coming at once, so he secretly made it in such a small place. He must have wanted a few regulars to stop by. The taste is great enough, so my brother will be able to enjoy it too.”
-ramen
Unfortunately, it was a simple name. The gunsmith I used to go to also added a little decoration to our gunsmith, but here, only two letters of the food sold were marked.
Was it bothersome to come up with a name? Or was there another reason?
Either way isn’t normal.
Once inside, I followed Ha-yeon.
As small as it looks from the outside, the inside isn’t too big either. It was a small shop with six tables that seemed to seat four.
It was a little early for lunch, but there were already three tables occupied.
I sat down at an empty seat and looked around, but there was nothing on the menu board. I searched the table to see where it was hidden, but there was no menu board.
“How do I order here?”
“There is only one menu here. The boss here serves a different ramen every day, but if you don’t tell me otherwise, I’ll just give you ramen for the number of people.”
“The business is very strange.”
“Isn’t it? I was the one who introduced you when I first came here, and I wanted to destroy everything? I tried one bite and it was so delicious that I put up with it.”
To say that ramen is ramen, how delicious is it if it’s delicious?
After the cataclysm, most factories went bankrupt, but I’ve only eaten ramen. The noodles were hard and had a strange taste, and the soup had no taste at all.
“Older brother, if you try it, you will understand.”
“yes?”
Glancing at the counter, I thought it might take some time for the food to come out.
“Ha Yeon-ah.”
“Yes, why are you calling me?”
“Isn’t it time to sing comfortably?”
Until now, I had never seen Hayeon sticking around and saying honorifics to anyone other than me.
Even the guild leader of the sun guild didn’t add nimja and just said guild leader.
Being the only one to use honorifics means that Ha-yeon thinks of me as special, but it also means that it is a difficult subject.
Right now, I was slightly envious of the two of them having a comfortable conversation with a woman who was presumed to be Ha-yeon’s subordinate.
“No. I can’t.”
Ha-yeon looked at me with a serious expression.
“I owe a lot of grace to my older brother. Without my older brother, I wouldn’t have existed. I would have already been a corpse.”
well? Isn’t it too rough to treat a benefactor?
“That’s why I can’t stop talking to my brother. Please consider it my own token of respect.”
“But sometimes I talk half-heartedly…”
Hayeon’s index finger covered my mouth.
Yes, if Ha-yeon is like that, it must be so.
