“therefore… “Are you asking me to remove Mr. Jian Yoon from his duties in the inspection department?”

“yes.”

Director Kim Seong-tae’s expression began to gradually darken.

“To my ears, it only sounds like they are planning to hire an employee of the association as their personal assistant… “Did I misunderstand?”

“Yes, you misunderstood.”

Working as a personal assistant is not now, it is a long time in the future.

At that time, Mr. Jian will not be an employee of the association, but will be affiliated with me.

What can I say now… , What about prior experience for that time?

“I’m saying that I don’t want anyone unless Jian is in charge of my care.”

“Do you want to exclude me from the inspection department’s work rather than exclude me from the care work?”

“you’re right.”

“under… , Mr. Kim Do-jin.”

Manager Kim Seong-tae sighed lightly, looked at me with wide eyes and said.

“Don’t you think this is too much of a request?”

That’s an unreasonable request… .

In other words, my current demands are beyond or excessive.

“No, not at all.”

I’ve never thought of it that way.

It looks like this gentleman’s scale is still wrong, so I’ll need to correct it.

“Boss.”

“… “Tell me.”

“There are quite a few prospects that the association is currently taking care of, right?”

“Not that little.”

As I remember, the association sponsors and manages about 30 promising players every year.

The name is simply for the better growth of aspiring hunters.

The associations I have encountered are not those who open their wallets with such pure hearts.

In the end, the intention is to hire talented people and create a good image with little money.

It would be best if you could get them to join you as an employee of the association, and even if you don’t, if you maintain a good relationship with them, you will be able to use them for a long time.

“So then.”

“… … .”

“What rank do you think I am among them?”

“… well.”

I’m vaguely vague about what I’m saying.

Obviously, that guy knows.

My ability and potential are at a level that most promising players can’t even show me their business cards.

Otherwise, there would be no reason to take the time to see me on golden Saturday.

“Hey, you probably know the basics, right? Just by looking at this incident, you can get a sense of it.”

If you don’t know, the position of General Affairs Manager was really won by Go-Stop.

Although Manager Kim Seong-tae, whom I met a few times, had an excessive thirst for power, he was not a man lacking anything.

Nevertheless, he still remained silent.

I’m proud for no reason.

“Let’s be honest.”

“What do you mean?”

Seongtae Kim speaks bluntly in an unpleasant tone.

“Even though I am young, I am not immature.”

“… “So.”

“I can roughly guess the answer just by looking at the fact that they have been quiet until now and now they have come to take care of me.”

How are you evaluating me?

“Don’t you want to form a relationship with me, manager?”

When he spoke directly, his eyes wavered for a moment.

I guess I was quite surprised that a 20-year-old kid could say something like that.

He seemed to hesitate.

Should I say my true feelings, or should I accept it with a typical greeting?

After a while.

As if he had made a decision, he opened his mouth.

“You seem to be smart, so I won’t deny it.”

If you don’t deny it, it’s true, right?

Anyway, since I gave an honest answer, the story is almost over.

Of course, there is one more process left.

“I also want to have a good relationship with the manager. however.”

I continued speaking by raising my hand and using my index and middle fingers to make a walking gesture.

“Let’s build a bridge between us.”

After realizing what I meant, his eyes turned to Yun Ji-an.

“So… , He receives care from Ji-an Yoon, and wants to continue his relationship with me, so that’s it.”

I smiled brightly and nodded.

“That’s it.”

Manager Kim Seong-tae also laughed along with my smile.

But the meaning seemed a little different.

It may be a feeling of disappointment or absurdity.

“It may be overdue, but… , It’s not impossible.”

The nuance is a bit strange.

It’s possible, but… , really? That feeling.

“But I don’t know if Kim Do-jin is worthy enough for me to take that risk.”

Well, this is unexpected.

It would be ridiculous to just list the things I showed off at the special entrance ceremony, but do you want more than that?

Did you eat your conscience without rice? .

I don’t like it, but I can’t help it.

It seems like I want Yoon Ji-an more than that guy wants me.

“I’ll show you something fun.”

The easiest way to prove your worth is to show strengths that only you can do and that others cannot.

And the characteristics and talents of this body are very good at that.

I spread my five fingers out nicely, showed them to him, and then gathered my magic power.

First, on your thumb… .

「Fire Ball.」

A fireball approximately one-eighth of its original size floats above the thumb.

Lightning ball on the index finger, water ball on the middle finger, air ball on the ring finger, and… .

「Ice Ball.」

Spheres of red, purple, blue, colorless, and blue-white respectively spin around on the five fingers.

Like planets circling around the center of the sun.

“how is it? “This is enough.”

He can’t say anything and just looks at my hand with his mouth wide open.

I can hear it.

In Kim Seong-tae’s mind, the sound of my value rising through the graph and soaring into the sky.

* * *

In the car on the way home.

Ji-an Yoon asked me as I was comfortably leaning against the back of my chair after eating my fill of unique food for the first time in a long time.

“why… “Did you go that far?”

It seems that my actions a moment ago were difficult to understand.

I understand.

Because the actions at that time were not exactly what could be called rational.

I just did what my instincts wanted.

One reason is that I don’t want to be cared for by a middle-aged man, not Yoon Ji-an.

At the same time, I was also curious about her intentions.

“Then why did you accept it, Jian?”

“that… .”

Negotiation with Seongtae Kim.

In fact, it was something that could fall as much as she wanted.

Even if I ask that person to skip all of Yoon Ji-an’s work in the inspection department, if she doesn’t want to do it, it’s all a waste of money.

So, after negotiating with Manager Seongtae Kim, I asked her.

Is it the work of the inspection department or me?

After thinking for a moment, she soon made a decision.

By taking care of myself.

The expression on her face is slightly red as she looks ahead.

It’s the cool season, so it’s probably not because it’s hot.

“that… “It was a little disappointing.”

“Hey, really?”

“yes. “It seems like we have quite a bit of affection.”

… It’s just affection.

I also thought it would be something a little hotter.

She asked me again with a slightly redder face.

“I answered, so Mr. Dojin, please answer as well.”

“hmm.”

I want to get along better with you… Is the answer a bit premature?

“I’m similar. “I have a lot of affection with Jian, so I don’t want to take care of anyone else.”

“ah… , Is that so.”

what.

What.

Why do you suddenly look sad?

Is my answer wrong?

Wasn’t it too early to think about it a little while ago?

“excuse me… .”

While I was regretting my answer a little while ago, Ji-an Yoon spoke to me nonchalantly.

“Well, this is the compensation you received today.”

“yes. “Why is that?”

“Well, um… .”

What are you trying to say by taking such a long time?

She seemed to hesitate several times, but soon opened her mouth.

“Well, that’s actually something I tried to do.”

“… “Effort?”

“yes. It wasn’t Manager Kim Seong-tae’s efforts… “I am.”

ah.

He said a little while ago that he worked hard to receive 30 million won.

Does that mean that it was actually the result of Yoon Ji-an’s efforts?

And you’re only now appealing that to me?

“I’m not asking for anything in particular, but… , there’s something a bit… .”

“Sure, sure.”

When Manager Kim Seong-tae said that he worked hard, I didn’t feel this much gratitude, but suddenly my gratitude grew.

To the point where I can’t let go unless I do something.

“Jian, is there anything you’d like to have? “Thanks to you, I must have received a lot of money. I would like to give you something as a gift.”

“Well, if it’s a gift… , um.”

As she was contemplating, she opened her mouth with difficulty.

“There’s nothing I really want to have, but… .”

“Uhm, really?”

Oh, that’s a shame.

I tried to use that as an excuse to make an appointment.

“Well, instead! Let’s have a meal later… , would you like to buy it for me?”

“… … .”

What day is today?

Why do I feel like things are going just as I planned?

If I do this, something unfortunate will happen later… , write.

While I was worried for a moment, she looked anxious, probably thinking my silence was denial.

“If you don’t like it, you can reject it… .”

“No, no. great. Let’s eat, rice. Not just one meal, but any number of meals.”

“… “Then when?”

“It’s hard today because I’m full… “How about tomorrow?”

Since tomorrow is Sunday, I brought it up because I didn’t think it would be burdensome for her or me.

Suddenly, his face turned into a tearful expression.

“… sorry. “I have some work to do tomorrow.”

“are you okay. “Then what about next weekend?”

“At that time, both Saturday and Sunday are available.”

“Then I’ll catch you during the weekdays and contact you.”

“yes… !”

The feeling of having a conversation is a little different than before.

Even the same wording has a different atmosphere.

It used to have a very business-like feel, but now I have to say it has a more gentle feel.

What is certain is that progress is being made in a positive direction.

If you ask me to buy you food first… , right?

Just like when I went, 20 minutes passed quickly.

“Im here.”

After unbuckling my seat belt and getting out of the car, I lowered my head and made eye contact with her through the open window.

“You had a hard time today.”

“it’s okay. that… , thank you.”

“Thank you.”

They all said it to please me.

“Oh, and I have a favor to ask you.”

“Please speak.”

It’s not such a grand request.

It is not a public request, but an extremely personal request.

“Don’t call me only when you have business, call me even when you’re bored.”

“yes? ah… , All right.”

I laugh often today.

“Then take care.”

“yes. I will see you next week.”

“Yes it is.”

With a subtle emphasis on next week, she left.

“Hehe.”

Something makes my heart tickle.

It’s exactly the feeling I had when I was young and having sex with my wife.

“Oh, you’re some?”

Surely, it wouldn’t be strange to say they’re dating at this point, hmmmm.

I never thought I would feel this way again in my life.

When I reached the rooftop, laughing so hard that I couldn’t hold it back, a familiar voice came and caught my ears.

“Where are you going?”

Shin Yu-jeong, who was lying down on the bed, gets up.

Well, what should I say?

“I’m here to meet someone for a moment.”

“meet? “Who?”

‘You don’t have any friends.’ An expression as if asking.

hmm… , there really isn’t one.

It seems like he was an insider in the game, but I cut him off.

I answered honestly.

“I came to meet Jian.”

“… “For what?”

My voice calms down.

Still, it’s surprising.

I thought he would go straight to this bitch and that bitch, but he’s holding up quite a bit.

I took out the envelope of money I had kept in my pocket and showed it to her.

“I have made money.”

The guy’s expression quickly brightens.

Ugh, that snob.

“How much is it?”

He took out a check worth 10 million won from the envelope and showed it to me.

“One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million…” , Che, 10 million won?”

I silently held out three fingers.

“… Is it really 3,000?”

“huh.”

“you… , you bastard!”

The guy suddenly ran into me and jumped into my arms.

As long as he’s happy, he hugs people.

After rubbing his face, he lifted his head and started talking to me vaguely.

“Buy me some beef. “Supplement with protein.”

“… … .”

Just like that, 800,000 won out of 30 million won was lost.

A bitch like a pig… .
