Even the most quirky office has a coffee machine.

I asked Congressman Park for permission and pulled out a shot of espresso.

“Use as much as you want.”

The congressman’s sharp, sharp eyes wink.

She looked down at me as if she were looking at a child, carrying her luggage on her back.

Soon the savory aroma of coffee fills the office.

But even in the midst of all this, the strange scent emanating from the member of parliament did not disappear.

It feels completely different from Jaehee’s pheromones.

I tried not to pay much attention to it because it didn’t really have any arousing or stimulating effects.

I just do my best with the drink I’ve been given.

1 ounce of clear, pure vodka (30 ml)

Coffee Vanilla Kahlua Half oz. (15ml)

1 shot of Colombian Supremo Espresso (30ml)

Add all of these ingredients to a shaker with ice.

10 seconds of brisk shaking that will make your ponytail dance.

Afterwards, double strain using a strainer and sieve.

Finally, sprinkle 3 coffee beans on top of the foam…

Rating: ★★★★★ (Legendary)

Effect: All stats increase by 20 for 1 hour.

Information: A meeting of coffee and alcohol. The rich and rich taste of coffee and the clean and strong taste of alcohol combine to stimulate the five senses. However, since it is a mixture of caffeine and alcohol, it must not be good for the body, right?

“I’ll give you an espresso martini.”

He held the finished glass elegantly.

And he flexibly placed it on the member’s table.

Brown foam rose above the black liquor like coffee.

The congressman tilts his head at the visual that looks like he is looking at a stout.

“It’s a drink with coffee in it.”

She lifted the glass carefully with two fingers.

Judging by the fact that he doesn’t hold the cross-section of the drink, he knows how to drink a cocktail.

(Because if you hold the section containing the drink with your hand, the alcohol will cool down quickly)

“Yes, you will come to your senses very ‘clearly’.”

I kept my nose straight.

You’ve been watching me closely, but this is your first time tasting my cocktail.

“I’ll drink well.”

She raised the glass to her lips.

Coffee foam is left on smooth lips.

She took a couple of sips and then leisurely placed her glass on the table.

“…”

I waited silently for her evaluation.

It’s a five-star cocktail.

Expectations were high as this was the first legendary level I had planned to create since Blue Sky.

I had no doubt that the congressman’s reaction would not be much different.

But, she brought up something completely unexpected first.

“That’s amazing…”

Her first words made me tilt my head involuntarily.

It’s not ‘delicious’ or ‘not delicious’, it’s ‘amazing’.

“It’s clearly an ordinary cocktail, but it makes your body feel light as if you have a buff.”

The congressman first mentioned the effects of the cocktail, not its taste or details.

I felt a little sad, but I tried to keep my expression in check.

“Any alcohol that touches my hand will be buffed.”

She gets up from her seat again.

The quiet office is filled only with the sound of chairs being dragged.

“It’s very interesting that the buff applies to objects as well as humans.”

Congressman Park approaches the human model displayed in the corner with ghostly, silent steps.

And he played with the model fingers like a toy.

“So, if you have Siho Yang’s arm, you can create any buff you want?”

I turn her words over and over in my head.

That’s true, but it was kind of unpleasant.

“Well, right?”

“One of my students has such a magical arm, I’d like to compare the effects someday.”

The congressman manipulated the model arm to open his palm.

It’s a pose that seems to be asking for something.

“Compare…?”

“Yes, I was sure that there would be only one arm like that in the world. But I never dreamed that I would meet it again like this.”

The woman approaches me with a smile.

And then he grabs my arm.

“Would you please come to my lab?”

“Why am I there…”

Congressman Park’s hair tickles my shoulder.

She whispered to me in a small voice.

“I’ll hire you.”

A single strand of hair sticks out like an antenna.

I felt goosebumps and slowly backed away, rubbing my neck.

“If you want to become a potion master, you need money. If you work under me, I will pay you well so you won’t feel disappointed.”

“What do you do there?”

“It’s simple. I’ll make cocktails for my students every day. We’ll provide all the ingredients and equipment. Siho, you just need to show up.”

He rubbed his chin with his fingers.

Because it’s not really a business that will lose money.

I can also research various cocktails if I have a lot of equipment and ingredients.

Plus, being the member’s personal bartender can help your career.

But what is it…

This feeling of uneasiness.

“You must be worried. It’s a sudden offer. You must be working at a place right now.”

The woman let go of my hand.

And then he circled around and went back to the members’ table.

“But the pay there isn’t that generous, right?”

She opened the drawer.

And then he took out a credit card that he had seen before.

Black card…

“I will deposit 12 million won every month into this card.”

“Yes…?”

I’m dumbfounded.

12 million won a month?

My eyes widened when I heard that they would pay me half a year’s salary.

She handed me a card that was so luxurious it was almost burdensome.

“If you receive it, I will consider it a contract.”

I blankly accepted the black card.

Then the woman gently stroked my shoulder and encouraged me.

“Don’t be burdened. Siho Yang’s abilities are special enough to receive this much pay.”

Is that the extent of my ability…?

I don’t think I’ve ever had my abilities recognized by someone like this.

No matter how much I look back on the past, it was nothing like the card given to me.

My first impression of Rep. Park was a bit uneasy.

From the two team leaders’ words of caution to their strangely noisy gazes.

But since my abilities are recognized so much and I am guaranteed a high income…

It seems like there isn’t really any choice.

Let’s just accept it for now.

Anyway, he is one of the lawmakers who protect Korea.

And he’s a senator, no less.

There’s no way something could happen, he’s a civil servant…

If you think it’s weird, just quit.

I swallowed the saliva that had collected in my mouth.

And he answered the senator in a calm voice.

“Okay. Should I write up a contract?”

“There is no need for a contract. My words are the contract itself here.”

The congressman raises his finger and points to the flag of the Republic of Korea.

Instead, she took a silver badge out of a drawer and pinned it to my breast pocket.

“This is the official hunter mark of the Association.”

I looked down at the badge on my chest.

The badge had the letter B engraved on it.

Could it be that I’ve just been recognized as a B-class hunter…?

The clown trembles softly.

Sister Jisoo also tried countless times to become a B-class hunter…

I’m only getting one drink?

She must have known how I felt because she lightly tapped my shoulder.

“Isn’t it amazing? Being recognized as a B-class hunter from the start? That’s how special Siho Yang’s buff is. The effects are so certain that I’m already excited.”

The congressman’s eyes become thin and long.

She spun around, carrying her luggage on her back, and handed me a business card.

“You’ll get a call tonight. They’ll tell you what time you’re leaving for work, what vehicle will be picking you up, and so on.”

“Yes…”

The woman smiled and took hold of the espresso martini I had made.

And then he made a soft toast gesture.

“Then, should we stop the interview here? I think I’ll be busy if I have to hand over Siho Yang.”

“Okay, thank you so much for your time.”

“Then, bye-.”

She tilted her head and greeted me like a native speaker.

I bowed my head politely, pushing my hair to the side.

Just as I was about to open the door and go out.

I stood still.

Because the congressman called me over for a moment.

“By the way, please come to work in comfortable clothes. Not a suit like you are wearing now.”

“Yes…? Why?”

I ask in a dazed manner.

Then, Rep. Park points to my body with his finger as if dragging it from top to bottom.

“Among my disciples, there are some who can’t move their legs when they see a pretty girl like Siho.”

“Especially in an outfit like this now.”

The congressman says something creepy with a relaxed expression on his face.

At that moment, I felt something was wrong.

“I’m glad it’s fun for me… but Siho shouldn’t be in danger, right?”

“Ah… Okay.”

I barely nodded and closed the office door.

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

“Haa…”

He pressed the hand holding the black card to his chest.

I also got this card like Anna…

I wonder if this is a dream or reality.

My heart is pounding so hard I feel like it’s going to burst.

12 million won a month…

I’m rich now!

Moreover, I was recognized as a B-class hunter and even got a solid job.

Now I can help others instead of just receiving help.

“This is good news…”

My hand automatically reaches for my phone.

Two names suddenly caught my eye in my contacts.

I’m wondering which one to call first.

Still… I guess it would be right to give it to the person who gave me the letter of recommendation first…?

My hand went to the call button.

But I couldn’t press the button right away.

I feel a little bad about just calling and telling you.

The corners of the mouth go up slightly.

I put my phone back in my bag, thinking I’d play a prank on it for the first time in a while.

And then I headed straight to the elevator.

I left the association headquarters and just took a taxi.

Now you can catch a taxi.

I am a ‘black card’ holder.

I leisurely told the knight my destination.

Afterwards, I stopped by a cafe and bought four cups of coffee.

He leisurely heads to the building entrance carrying a paper carrier with ice clanking on it.

A place where I was more nervous than anyone when I first went there.

A bloody place where I was cornered by reporters and almost had my bag stolen.

In front of Ilsim headquarters.

I lock eyes with the two gruff men standing at the gate.

The two men saw me in my interview attire and approached me leisurely.

They soon smiled when they realized who I was.

“Mr. Siho, aren’t you?”

Sangmoon and his subordinates.

The two smiled brightly and scratched their heads.

It’s completely different from the rough treatment I received when we first met.

“I have some good news- and I came to see you.”

I looked up at the two men and smiled.

My tear spot also smiles brightly and greets the men.

“Good news?”

“Yes. I got a job!”

He shouted proudly, raising his finger.

“Hiya- Congratulations.”

He congratulated me sincerely.

The subordinate standing next to him also applauded.

“It must be hot here, so have a cup of coffee.”

I handed them two cups of coffee.

Then Sangmoon scratched the back of his head and expressed his gratitude.

“You don’t have to give me this… Are you okay?”

“Mo, your body…?”

I suddenly come to my senses worried about my body.

Surely you’re not talking about that time?

“Your Majesty, are you sick, Siho?”

A subordinate who wasn’t there at the time asks.

Then Sangmoon burst into laughter, but then stopped laughing when he saw my troubled expression.

“Ah… There is, something like that. Anyway, if it’s you, Sister, she’s in the conference room right now. If you wait in the hallway, you’ll be able to see her.”

“Yes… Thank you.”

I awkwardly lowered my head and entered the Ilshim building.

Several members of the organization are moving around busily in the building lobby.

Entertainment, office, field(?), etc.

Each person is moving to do their best in their respective positions.

Every time I made eye contact with them, I was greeted with, “Siho, it’s been a while.”

Perhaps because they heard rumors that he was a friend of the enemy, they greeted me warmly first.

I got a job at an association… Is this okay?

My hand automatically goes to my chest.

He hurriedly hid the association badge in his pocket and climbed the stairs.

But every time I climb the stairs, I suddenly feel a strange gaze.

I glanced back.

Then, the members of the organization who had been staring at me all blushed and went their separate ways.

what.

Something seems to be leading me towards my pants.

I lightly dusted off my slacks, wondering if I had asked anything.

Then I leisurely climbed the stairs and waited in the second floor hallway.

To meet someone.

Soon the sound of shoes clicking can be heard in the previously quiet hallway.

They are the executives of Ilsim.

A group of men with equally fierce faces emerge from the conference room.

And then, among them, the face of a woman as beautiful as a flower, which seems out of place, catches my eye.

I smiled brightly at her and waved.

“Red-!”

The grim executives all react to my voice.

The enemy who was in the group ran towards me in a hurry with a red face.

“How did you get here…!”

“I just came here because I thought of it.”

I laughed bashfully.

The enemy watches the faces of the executives who came out together.

“Do you know where this is!”

The bosses of the organization are amazed when they see such enemies.

It seems like it was the first time he had seen the usually charismatic female executive look flustered.

“Um…your job?”

“Haa…”

The enemy rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand.

I handed her some coffee.

“Okay, coffee. Your favorite Americano.”

The red-eyed woman pursed her lips.

Then, as if he had given up, he accepted the coffee and drank it down.

“Ha… You really…”

The red-eyed woman shook her head, seemingly embarrassed.

But soon, when he saw my bashful smiling face, he couldn’t help but relax his expression.

“What am I going to do when I’m so messed up…”

Her hand touches the crown of my head.

The enemy, seeing the hairpin for the first time, grabbed it and fixed it neatly.
