491 – Guild Office

491 – Guild Office

“To break it apart.”

I knew it wasn’t something Hanyeoreum had said to me.

However, the situation had become so awkward that I instinctively looked away.

“Y-You know, Gyeoul? It’s a misunderstanding, right…?”

“Yeeah…”

“W-What…?”

Hanyeoreum, who had been rolling her eyes around, cleared her throat.

Then she opened her mouth towards me and the kids.

“Um, should I help you when you make the guild?”

“…Help?”

Hanyeoreum’s help.

My ears perked up.

If it was Hanyeoreum’s help, it would be a huge advantage in creating the guild.

“Yeah. Have you decided where the guild office will be?”

“Uh… a container…?”

“Come on, it’s our babies’ guild, using a container as an office feels a bit off.”

I had to pause for a moment at Hanyeoreum’s words.

It was because what she said was surprising.

“Is the container not good…?”

“Huh?! No?! Of course, the container is great! I just thought it might be too small to use as an office. We’re using it for various purposes right now.”

“Uh… that’s definitely true.”

Currently, the container was quite cramped as it was filled with various items.

It did feel a bit small for the kids and the guild office.

“Should we move the stuff in the container to my house?”

“Um… wouldn’t it be better to buy a few more containers and expand?”

“Can we expand the container?”

“Yeah. It’s modular.”

“Wow, then let’s expand the container.”

Connecting containers to make it bigger.

It was quite an innovative approach.

“Okay, then I’ll leave the office to you, and Yuna, you’ll handle the paperwork, right?”

“…I’m busy, so I can’t handle the paperwork, what should I do?”

Jeong Yuna, holding a stack of documents, looked at us with an apologetic expression.

She had done all the paperwork and tasks necessary for the guild creation, so I could handle the registration.

“I’ll take care of the paperwork. Where should I submit it?”

“The adventurer-related stuff will be accepted at the local community center.”

“Huh? The community center also creates guilds?”

“No, it gets filtered there first and then submitted above.”

“Ah…”

It wasn’t far, just the local community center.

That was enough for me to go and submit it.

“If it’s Gyeoul, the Beastman Association will guarantee your identity, so don’t worry too much.”

“Yeeah.”

Our own guild.

My heart began to race.

I hugged the stack of documents and moved with the kids to the local community center.

“Wanga, Levinas, you know we have to take a number and wait here.”

“Yeah. We did it at the city hall last time, right?”

We took a number with the kids and waited for our turn.

Although we had to wait a long time, the community center had many facilities for the locals, so the waiting wasn’t uncomfortable.

Levinas, Gaeul, and Saebyeok were reading books in the reading room provided by the community center.

And Bomi…

“Bomi, what are you doing over there?”

“I’m practicing typing.”

The information room, where you could use computers for free.

Bomi was typing there.

Maybe because she still found computers difficult, she barely surpassed a hundred words per minute.

Slowly but steadily, she was typing each letter clearly without any typos.

“Are you studying computers?”

“Yeah. I’ll study computers and help with office work later.”

“Wow, thanks.”

Whether it was studying math or practicing typing on the computer.

Bomi was surprisingly serious about learning.

All of our kids were like that, but I was quite looking forward to Bomi’s future.

I waited for my turn while listening to the sound of Bomi’s typing.

Beep- Beep-

I perked up my ears to hear the sound of the number being called.

After twelve beeps, I realized it was my turn.

Even without waiting nearby after taking a number, it was convenient to know through the sound.

“Bomi, keep studying. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.”

I held the number and approached the person in charge of adventurer affairs.

As I faced the woman, I spotted someone familiar behind her.

It was Mr. Kim Min-jun, the civil servant in charge of managing the beginner dungeons.

“Huh? Is that you, Gyeoul?”

“Yes, hello.”

“What brings you here, Gyeoul?”

“I’m here to create a guild.”

I handed the stack of documents to the woman in front of me.

Mr. Kim Min-jun, who had been watching from behind, nodded.

“You’re creating a guild, Gyeoul? What about Dawn?”

“I got permission from the Master and came out for a bit. They said creating a guild would be a good experience.”

“Right, it is a good experience.”

Mr. Kim Min-jun skimmed through the documents with the woman.

Then he patted her shoulder lightly.

“Mi-young, since it’s Gyeoul, her skills and identity are solid, so just approve it.”

“Okay. I will.”

Oh my.

To approve it without even properly looking at the documents.

I was surprised, and my ears perked up.

“Is it okay to approve it without properly checking…?”

“Everyone in the neighborhood knows Gyeoul is an outstanding adventurer. You cleared a level three dungeon this time, right? It would be strange not to approve it.”

“Hmm…”

Do they know everything?

If that’s the case, I had nothing to say.

“I’m going to step out for work now. Good luck with the guild operation.”

“Yeeah.”

Was it because I had some recognition as an adventurer?

The guild registration ended surprisingly easily.

Thanks to the extra time, we were able to play in the library and information room.

Three days after submitting the guild documents.

We were looking at the containers being assembled.

“Wanga…! There’s another floor…!”

“Yeah. It’s like a luxury hotel.”

There was a proper office and a break room.

There was also an adventurer waiting room, and containers for storage had arrived.

As I was shining my eyes at the much larger container, Hanyeoreum’s smartphone rang.

“Hello… Yes…? Why…?”

She answered the phone with a serious expression, then suddenly her face contorted.

As we were watching the container assembly, we couldn’t help but notice Hanyeoreum’s expression.

“What’s wrong?!”

“Well…”

“Is it hard to say?”

“No, it’s not hard… Um, about the guild creation… it got denied…?”

“Huh?”

Levinas’s eyes widened like a Horned Rabbit’s.

Gaeul also stopped wagging her tail while looking at the container.

“Why, why…?”

“That’s something I don’t know well either. I need to check…”

As soon as Hanyeoreum finished speaking, Levinas collapsed to her knees.

Simultaneously, like dominoes, Gaeul and Bomi also dropped to their knees.

“Ugh…!”

“Ggaemmi…! Ggaemmi…!”

Even Saebyeok, who was watching the children scream, dropped to her knees.

Saebyeok didn’t scream but merely glanced at the children with a worried expression.

And I was just as disappointed as the kids.

I never thought it would get denied.

My ears and tail drooped in disappointment.
