I held Echidna’s hand and followed Mirae into the building.

When I asked where I was going, it turned out to be towards the hall where the elevator was located.

“Wow. How many elevators… are there?”

“There are 12 here and 6 on the other side, so a total of 18.”

No, do we really need that many elevators?

Even for a building this big, I think 18 is too many.

As I was tilting my head with a doubtful expression because I didn’t understand, my sisters and Mirae laughed.

It seems like the stagnant water is smiling happily at the newbie.

“Yujun. There are so many people working in our guild building! A lot.”

“How many?”

“Even though there are so many elevators, they are crowded for over 30 minutes during rush hour. Combatants are outside during rush hour.”

Everyone nodded at Mirae’s answer.

I guess it’s true.

“…is it a large company?”

“It’s a large company, right?”

“It is a large company, but you can think of it as a combination of a public enterprise and a government department.”

I see…

Well, since it is a guild that effectively controls Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, there must be a lot of practitioners.

I didn’t know anything about politics or anything like that, so I just nodded.

“But, if you know that it will be crowded during rush hour, can’t you spend some of your budget and increase the number of elevators?”

“It is not possible to install additional elevators after completion because it is difficult. In addition, aren’t the 18 already in operation additionally expanded to 18?”

“Tsk… We should just demolish it and build a new one.”

My sister clicked her tongue.

It was a face that looked truly regretful.

Demolition of a building like this?

I think that’s crazy.

Ding dong~♬

at that time.

I heard a ringtone arriving from the elevator.

When I did something, white lights came on from the five lanterns of the elevator on the left.

Immediately the door opened and people started pouring out of the elevator.

“Huh? Assistant master! Was today the day you left the dungeon?”

“Can’t you see me?”

Jiyeon’s older sister folded her arms.

The person who saw this cleared his throat and answered with a bright smile.

“A. Could that be possible? Didn’t you say that once this is over, you’ll both be promoted to S-class? Will you be promoted to S class soon?”

“Are you coming? But where are you going? After work?”

“Something came up at the Seongnam branch, so I have to go. By the way, is the person next to the assistant master… your boyfriend?”

Then he looked at me.

I must have been so embarrassed when he suddenly asked me if he was my boyfriend that I couldn’t reply and became mute with honey in my mouth.

On the other hand, my sister’s face turned slightly red and she raised her fist and retorted.

“Do you want to rummage? This is my little brother! Little brother!”

“Ah. Is that so? It was your younger brother. Then what about the person behind you?”

“In the background is my younger brother’s subordinate, Mr. Echidna. Both of you are going to join the guild, so be nice.”

“Subordinate?”

She said she didn’t understand and looked at Mr. Echidna.

I looked back and tilted my head to see if he didn’t know about me.

Echidna bowed her head casually.

While talking to her sister, she also smiled and bowed her head.

Am I weird?

It seems like there are only people around me who have excellent community skills.

I’m a little reluctant to talk to strangers.

“Younger brother, subordinate. nice to see you. My name is Yuna Kim, and I am the leader of the 1st Supporter Company.”

“Ah…hello. This is Seong Yu-jun.”

It was a little late, but I greeted him politely.

She smiled happily like Mirae did earlier.

“Thank you for your continued support. Well then, I’m busy so I’ll go first.”

“Be careful. I heard that little guys are causing trouble these days?”

“I’m not going into a dungeon without CCTV, so what’s the big deal? Hwanwoong!”

She saluted, shouted slogans, and ran outside.

I glanced at him and saw that he was leaving the door with the people who were waiting.

“Most of the people going out now are non-combatants. Most of them are office workers or supporters.”

“Supporter…”

“Yujun, you wanted to be a supporter too, right?”

I nodded my head slightly.

Echidna wants to be a hunter who fights monsters, but I want to be a supporter from the back, not beat down monsters.

My sister wouldn’t throw me into a dungeon in the first place.

Of course, it is true that I want to become stronger by catching monsters.

“Now. Let’s get on board soon.”

After Mirae swiped the employee ID card she was wearing around her neck on the reader, the elevator arrived.

It was not the elevator with people rushing in and out earlier, but a slightly smaller elevator standing alone inside.

It looks like you need a card like that employee ID card to ride this.

Is this an elevator used by high-ranking members of the guild?

Where have you seen a system like that?

I think I saw it at the hospital.

In order to take the ward elevator, you had to scan the barcode on the belt you wore on your arm.

As expected, because it is Korea’s top ranker guild, it seems that they have strict security procedures.

Echidna and I boarded the arriving elevator with sparkling eyes.

Echidna had a slightly different perspective because she was fascinated by the elevator itself… but whatever.

Of course, Yuri and Jiyeon didn’t mind.

“Sister. The Hwanwoong guild must be rich, right?”

“How many pics is our Yujun? How many pictures are you getting excited about seeing the elevator?”

“No. Is this your first time seeing something like this?”

That’s not all.

I wonder if the elevator was always this fast.

It takes less than a second to climb the first floor.

If you go up the stairs, it will take more than 10 seconds.

It’s so fast that my ears are deafening.

It’s not like I’m on a plane.

“I can’t believe our Yujun is amazed by something like this. There will be more surprises in the future, so look forward to it.”

“It’s a little scary when you say that.”

“My sister is next to me. Don’t worry.”

“That’s scarier?”

What are you trying to show me, who is still an aspiring hunter?

I was excited but also scared at the same time.

Ding dong~♬

The elevator that was quickly heading to the top floor stopped.

You have already arrived at your destination.

“That’s right. Mr. Future, how is the guild master’s condition?”

“It’s better than before you two entered the dungeon. However, I don’t think the fundamental part has been recovered.”

“Ha… I’m worried.”

As I was amazed at the speed of the elevator, the two people continued their conversation about a heavy topic.

At first glance, it seems like the guild master is suffering from some kind of illness.

“Guild Master. The assistant master and the delayed express have arrived. And your younger brother Seong Yu-jun and his subordinates? Ishin Echidna de Faldea also came with us.”

I think there’s a question mark attached to it.

No one reacted to that.

Echidna is also saying that.

– Cough… come in.

Once permission was given, the door was opened.

Suddenly, I was led by my older sister’s hand and went inside.

Is this the room of the guild master of the guild that effectively controls Seoul and Gyeonggi-do?

On one side, it was decorated like an office, and on the other side, it was decorated like a patient’s hospital room.

Unfortunately, the guild master was not sitting in the office, but was lying on the bed in the phantom limb hospital room.

After seeing this, Yuri and Jiyeon sighed and approached the guild master.

“Are you here? Are there any injuries?”

“It’s not time to worry about us, just worry about the guild master’s health. Are you okay? I heard it’s better than a week ago.”

“It was fine until this morning, but it’s like this again…cough…cough…”

My sister pulled out a tissue and held it out.

The guild master took a tissue, coughed, and sighed.

It looked very difficult.

“What does your doctor say? At least they would have told me the name of the disease.”

“…chest magic fire. They said there was nothing they could do because it was already terminal. There was still one year left?”

The guild master laughed arbitrarily.

The situation he was currently in was so absurd that he seemed almost to the point of laughing.

“Who are the people behind you?”

“This is my younger brother. This time, I awakened to the support side and brought it to the guild. And after that, you can think of it as your younger brother’s subordinate.”

I wondered if I should say hello, but the atmosphere was so depressed that I couldn’t say it out loud.

So I just bowed my head slightly.

“Younger Brother… Now that I think about it, you said you have a twin brother, right? Has the other side also awakened?”

“The twins probably did it because they awakened together. I’ll ask later when I get home. Lie down rather than lying down.”

“But the greeting is…”

“Because it’s okay. You can say hello while lying down.”

The older sister laid down the sitting guild master.

The guild master smiled bitterly, saying he couldn’t do it, and slowly lay down on the bed.

“Sorry for greeting you like this. This is Lim Da-hye, the 8th guild master of the Hwanwoong Guild.”

“This is Seong Yu-jun.”

“Please take care of me in the future. It’s been a while since it’s been a long time since a man came in, so the guild members…cough…!! Cough!!”

While exchanging greetings, the guild master’s cough suddenly worsened.

Not only was the cough getting worse, but the red blood was soaking the clothes she was wearing and the bed.

It even jumped out a little at me, who was sitting right in front of me.

Isn’t hemoptysis a bad sign…?

“Mr. Future! Call your doctor right now! And Yujun, you’re out for a while!”

“Guild Master! Come to your senses! Guild Master!”

As I listened to my sister’s yelling and Jiyeon’s sister’s yelling, my mind turned completely white.

At that time, someone grabbed my hand.

“Master. I think you should leave now.”

“Uh…uh…yeah…”

The last thing I saw from the guild master’s office was Mirae making a phone call somewhere.

Before I knew it, I was being led by Echidna’s hand and sitting on a chair outside.

Echidna took out a handkerchief and gently wiped my face.

Something red and dark was wiped on the handkerchief.

“Master. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine… but the guild master doesn’t look very well…”

“Magic stone is a disease caused by magic stone powder entering the respiratory tract. It was in this world too.”

“Is there any way to fix it?”

“I don’t know. I know that the Alchemy Society and the Medical Society have been researching methods for treating enchantment, but… the Assassin’s Guild…”

“It looks like the Assassin’s Guild was trying to use magic.”

“Yes… Since there was no cure, it was considered a sure method.”

If the person using it doesn’t know… then there’s no cure, right?

ha…

I met this person for the first time today, so why is a part of my heart feeling so frustrated?

Is it because he is an acquaintance of your sister?

“Hmm… It’s not that there is no treatment method at all…”

“Yes? Do you have it?”

Echidna looked at me and nodded slightly.

However, I wasn’t very excited because he had a calm expression.

“It was not created as a means to treat magic petrification, but it is a means that can also treat magic petrification. My lord, do you know what an elixir is?”

“Isn’t this a legendary potion from a fantasy novel?”

If it’s an RPG game, it definitely comes out.

This may be because this world has become a modern fantasy world.

“If I have that elixir, can it be cured?”

“I don’t know what a fantasy novel is, but… Unfortunately, elixir alone cannot be used to heal.”

She took a piece of paper out of her pocket.

Then he wrote something in an unknown handwriting.

” I have seen research results in the research log of the Union Federation that show that if you mix this potion called elixir with other ingredients and refine it, you can produce with an extreme probability.”

“…Power Elixir?”

“This is L Power. They say it’s a strong potion that has a suspicious purple color.”

I guess it’s different from what I thought.

It’s similar in that it’s purple.

“Unlike Elixir, this El Power Elixir does not restore stamina, but reduces stamina. And it melts and releases the magic power contained in the body.”

“…No way.”

“Yes. It also melts and releases the magic power of the magicalized organs. However, if you do not take the elixir right away, your entire body will melt.”

In other words… Don’t you think there should be something called El Power Elixir, and an elixir that will restore your stamina after eating it?

But where do you get it?

“Was elixir a common item in Mr. Echidna’s world?”

“No. It was a legendary potion from mythology.”

“Then it doesn’t mean anything…”

“Just.”

Mr. Echidna interrupted me.

I looked at her wondering why.

For some reason, she is giving me bright eyes.

“According to legend, elixir is an S-class item.”

“S class… Huh? Then…”

Is it possible to get it using a gacha skill?

If it’s my gacha that even comes with EX level items…

[S-class items and elixirs can be obtained through EX-class gacha skills.]

A now familiar console window appeared and instructed me.

What, is it real?

You can pull it out?

[EX-level items and L-Power Elixir can also be obtained through EX-level gacha skills.]

[250P left until the S-class item selection gift.]

[650P left until the EX-level item selection gift.]

huh? 250P? 650P?

What do you mean by item selection?
