11. Tokyo Panic.

“No matter what, I don’t think a country would come under me like that.”

“That’s right. Ah. I just hope no unnecessary trouble happens. With that guy’s personality… I feel like he’s gonna pull something. Ugh….”

 

 

Yuna made a gesture as if she felt sick.

She wrapped her arms around her stomach and turned her face pale.

 

 

Of course, she was just acting since she had been eating pizza until just now.

 

 

“I think it’ll be fun. Uum. Let’s ask them to build a villa in Japan when our branch is established there. It’d be nice to visit sometimes.”

“Ugh… let’s think about that when the time comes.”

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

“No, thank you.”

“….”

 

 

Giving me all the dungeons that will appear in Japan in the future?

 

Any ordinary adventurer would jump at that. But not me.

Japan is too small.

 

 

Besides, recruitment? Who dares to recruit whom? If I were recruiting Japan, then maybe.

 

 

“…May I ask for the reason?”

 

 

Ishida asked without showing any surprise.

He must have thought I might refuse.

 

 

“Japan is too small. I’m going to have the world in my hands, so I can’t be under just Japan, can I?”

“You have very grand ambitions. I’m impressed.”

 

 

Saying things he doesn’t mean….

 

Okay. So, if I’ve refused like this… he won’t just let me go, right?

You know how in movies or comics, they always try to eliminate you after offering a recruitment deal.

If you don’t join my team, you can’t go anywhere else!

That kind of feeling.

 

 

But if they’ve seen my stats, would they dare to confront me?

 

 

 

Tting!

 

 

[An unknown toxin has been detected in your body. Hidden skill 《》 has been created.]

 

 

Khee. Awesome.

This incredible timing. A skill appearing just at the right moment.

 

 

Anyway, so they poisoned me? Probably

 

 

‘We have the antidote. We’ll give you the antidote if you agree to join us. Ah! You have to take this antidote regularly. Only we know the recipe.’ That’s what they’ll say.

 

 

So easy to read.

 

 

But what to do? I don’t think it’s going to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

《》

 

 

 

No matter how high your stats and how high your attack and defense power are, you are bound to be vulnerable to physical abnormalities such as poison. But His Imperial Majesty is the most precious being in the world! To this end, all the people of the world created and offered a new skill.

 

 

Rank: Legendary

Category: Passive

 

 

[Effect]

 

 

Acquires absolute immunity to ‘all kinds’ of physical abnormalities.

 

 

Target: Freezing, stiffness, poison, burns, disease, etc. All status abnormalities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah. Get lost^^

Some petty poison is nothing now. My defense is already insurmountable, and even this… Hehehe….

 

 

 

 

“By the way, who saw my stats? If there’s someone with such amazing talent, I’d like to meet them.”

“Ah.”

 

Ishida exclaimed as if something had occurred to him and ordered his secretary to bring her in.

 

 

Her.

Hehe…

 

 

He said ‘her’.

She must be pretty, right?

 

 

No. It doesn’t matter if she’s not pretty. If she’s a woman with such amazing ‘talent’, I’ll make her my maid and raise her carefully. I’ll eat her when she becomes pretty.

 

 

Look at Sora-nuna! She used to be ordinary except for her chest, but now she’s an absolute beauty! This is the power of dungeons and stats! A blessing of the era that mass-produces pretty girls and beauties!

 

 

 

Click.

 

 

Ah. She’s here.

 

 

“呼び..ましたか?(Yobi..mashita ka?)” (Did you..call me?)

 

A career woman who looks to be in her mid-20s.

 

 

She has her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, wears simple makeup, and has a prim expression.

Her slender figure artistically pulls off a suit fit, emphasizing both neatness and sexiness at the same time.

 

Ah.

She’s a beauty.

 

I’m glad.

That she’s a beauty.

 

 

“Welcome. Yu-eun-ssi, this is the pride of our Asian branch! Kirara Satomi.”

“Kirara Satomi… Nice to meet you. I’m Yu-eun.”

“Ah… yes. I’m Kirara..Satomi..”

 

 

It was a bit uncomfortable because of the interpreter, but we shook hands and greeted each other.

 

 

She was staring at me intently, to the point where it was really burdensome.

 

 

“Oh! Why don’t you two have a chat for a while?”

“Yes?”

“I just remembered something I need to take care of urgently. Well… given the situation, haha!”

“Ah. Then I’ll be goingㅡ.”

“Aie Aie. Rest a little longer before you go. You haven’t had dinner, have you? Our chef’s skills are top-notch!”

 

Ishida was trying to hold onto me by any means.

 

Hmmm~~.

 

 

I see.

He’s trying to use a honey trap.

 

 

 

First, he tries to seduce me with wealth, and if that doesn’t work, a honey trap, and if that still doesn’t work, he uses poison.

 

 

Certainly, Kirara is someone who could pull off a honey trap. She’s pretty, has a great body, and is incredibly capable.

 

 

Telling us to talk alone must be to make me develop feelings for this woman. Men are happy just talking to a beautiful woman. Of course, if a woman’s personality is complete garbage, it doesn’t matter how pretty she is.

 

 

 

 

 

After the branch manager left, only Kirara, an interpreter, and I were left in the room. Three people in total.

But I expect they’re monitoring us with CCTVs or listening devices.

 

 

“….”

“….”

 

 

By the way, what are we supposed to talk about?

This person has a completely blank expression, and I can’t tell what she’s thinking.

 

 

Should I check her status?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Affection: 13

Inner thoughts: Unknown.

Condition: Extreme depression.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extreme depression?

Did something happen?

 

 

“You’re pretty.”

 

 

Let’s try talking to her first.

 

 

“…Thank..you.”

 

She nodded slightly after hearing the translation.

No smile either. Just a ‘okay’ level of reaction.

 

 

Hmmm.

Usually, they smile at least a little when you say they’re pretty. Even Sonya-ssi reacted to being called pretty when I first met her.

 

 

“I heard you saw my stats, may I ask how much you can see?”

“….”

 

 

She stared at me blankly and opened her small lips.

 

 

“Job, Emperor of the Cockheads. Level 67. Health 16,944,852 Mana 15,554,557 Strength 457 Agility 417 Intelligence 244 Luck 543 Sex Drive 167,788 Stamina 153,889 Charm 36,717 Sex Appeal Increase Rate 2188% Dignity Increase Rate 377% Adjustment Increase Rate 51% Critical Chance 17222% Critical Damage 157780% Attack Speed 5% Attack Power 7,694,431 Defense Power 8,389,421 No talent. That’s all.”

“….”

 

 

What… this is completely OP!! She can just see everything!!

 

 

“Shall I..tell you about your skills..too?”

“Huh. You can read skills too?”

 

 

For a moment, I had a hallucination that her eyes turned red.

 

“Jobs, stats, skills, talents, etc… If it’s about..dungeons…nothing can escape..my talent.”

“I…see.”

 

 

It’s scarier because she says it with a blank expression. She’s not surprised at all even after seeing these stats. Even the interpreter is surprised.

 

 

Could there be someone else with stats like mine??

 

 

“No.”

 

There isn’t. That’s a relief.

 

“What about attack and defense that are about 1/10th of mine?”

“I haven’t..seen that..either.”

“Then 1/100th?”

“…There are..many.”

 

 

Many, huh….

1/100th of my attack and defense is around 70,000 to 80,000, and she says there are many like that.

As expected, rankings are all bullshit.

 

 

Well, there’s even a job like mine, so there’s no way there wouldn’t be jobs like that.

 

 

“You have amazing talent. I wish I had just one talent.”

“…You do..have talent.”

“Huh? I don’t though?”

“Not..yet.”

“Ooh! You can even see that!!”

“I can..see the slot.”

“Wow!”

 

 

She’s completely perfect! I have to recruit her no matter what!! Leaving aside her being a beauty, I have to bring her in no matter what!

 

 

But her way of speaking is very unique. She always pauses in the middle.

 

 

“Kirara-ssi. How much do you get paid?”

“How..much?”

“You must have an annual salary.”

“Annual salaryㅡ.”

“Ah, excuse me!”

“?”

 

 

Just as she was about to speak, the guy who was interpreting next to her said urgently.

 

What. Why is he interrupting?

 

 

“It’s almost time, wouldn’t you like to have dinner?”

“…I’ll talk a little more before I go. Just interpret.”

“…I, it’ll get cold and won’t taste good….”

“….”

 

 

What’s wrong with this guy. Why is he like this?

What kind of interpreter is so nosy?

 

 

Wouldn’t they usually get fired? An interpreter should just interpret…….

 

 

 

Ah, could it be.

 

Something suddenly came to mind.

I turned my head towards Kirara.

 

 

 

 

A blank expression that reveals nothing.

But in reality, she’s in a state of extreme depression.

 

An ordinary person would somehow show it. But Kirara didn’t have any of that, only a blank expression.

 

 

Why is that?

Is it because I’m a business partner?

Is it because she has to seduce me with a honey trap?

 

 

Ishida clearly induced Kirara and me to talk for the sake of a honey trap. If that wasn’t his intention, there’s no way he’d attach such an important talent to me. Isn’t it dangerous? What if I run away with her?

 

 

In other words, Ishida put Kirara here to recruit me by using a honey trap. As evidence, when I asked him to call the person who saw my stats, didn’t he exclaim as if something had occurred to him?

 

 

That’s when he thought of using a honey trap.

 

 

 

 

Two questions here.

 

 

Kirara possesses such amazing talent that she can see not only my stats but also all information related to dungeons. In this world where information is power, and in this era where adventurers will gradually occupy an important position, she’s a must-have ultra-elite talent.

 

 

Would such a talent usually agree to use a honey trap? With this much talent, she could easily earn hundreds of millions of won a month just by glancing at adventurers once a day, and even the association would have to lower their backs, so she’s doing a honey trap?

 

 

Also, even if she did, if she said she would do a honey trap herself, would she be so expressionless? Does she speak so strangely as if she has aphasia?

 

 

There’s no way.

 

 

What did Han Chae-young do when she first tried to look good to me? A woman in her mid-thirties called me ‘oppa’ and acted affectionately, right? That’s a honey trap.

 

 

But what about her?

 

There’s none of that.

She doesn’t even seem to have the will to do it.

 

 

She’s just answering what I ask.

 

 

 

Decisively, the interpreter’s attitude.

 

This interpreter is close enough to Ishida, the head of the Asian branch and the Japanese branch, so he must know quite a lot.

And he, of all people, urgently interrupted when I asked about Kirara’s annual salary.

 

 

The interpreter.

 

No, what kind of interpreter interrupts and suggests we have dinner? That’s ridiculous. If my interpreter did that, I would have fired them immediately. Unless they were a beauty.

 

 

But he’s not a beauty. Then it’s 100%.

 

 

 

Kirara is tied to Ishida for some reason. As a result, she’s experiencing extreme depression and has closed off her emotions, so her expression is like that.

Plus, even her way of speaking has changed strangely.

 

 

End.

 

 

Situation analysis complete.

 

 

Of course, it might not be. If not, then whatever.

Either way, there’s only one thing to do.

 

 

Make Kirara mine and mine alone!

 

 

To do that, I need to make an offer with kind words first, right?

Hmm… what good Japanese phrases were there….

 

 

After thinking carefully, I got up from my seat and held out my hand to her.

A recruitment offer filled with my sincerity.

 

Of course, I’ll take her by force even if she refuses, but anyway, it’s a recruitment offer filled with my own sincerity.

 

 

 

 

“Kimochi?”
