Hero exchange period.

This is a social gathering created by the association to foster cooperation between heroes and to gain experience in fighting without wavering in various environments.

To put it simply, it means you are simply being sent on a mission to another country.

“Whew..Is it my turn now?”

“Yes, including you, five people from A to B+ grade, twenty from B to C+ grade, and fifty from C grade have been decided to go.”

“..Where is it?”

“You’re probably going to Russia. Villains that deal with fire and explosions have been active recently, so they even sent you a direct request to be dispatched there.”

“Okay.”

It’s a little annoying, but what can you do?

During the exchange period, there was even a request for cooperation from Ice Queen herself, so it was something I couldn’t avoid.

‘Besides, it’s been quite some time since I moved during my exchange period.’

Since this is a regular networking event where a few people are selected, you can just think of it as your turn this time.

“..But then, what happens to the villain in charge?”

“There will be a new hero in charge this time.”

Ice Queen’s sudden curiosity.

Baek Kang-ho answered her question calmly.

Usually, when the hero in charge becomes unable to perform his duties, another hero is created to replace him.

“Usually, if the villain is very dangerous or there is only one hero who can deal with it, then this kind of exchange would be omitted..”

It doesn’t matter to you since the villain in charge isn’t dangerous and you were only in charge temporarily.

“I see.”

Ice Queen agreed with Baek Kang-ho’s words.

“Then who will be the hero to replace me?”

“Probably one of the Japanese heroes who will be coming for exchange this time will be in charge.”

“A hero coming through exchange..?”

“Don’t ask me. It’s something that was decided by the very, very precious support hero who has connections with the higher-ups.”

“..That guy?”

Ice Queen frowns and says, “Ugh.”

If there was a precious hero with connections to the higher-ups, there was only one person that the Ice Queen knew of.

“Do you hate it that much?”

“..Yes. Honestly, just hearing that that idiot gave orders from above makes me feel bad.”

“What. He’s the guy who flirted with our precious disciple, so I don’t really like it, but what can I do? This ability itself is useful.”

“……”

As his mentor said, the guy’s abilities were useful.

I guess this is the right choice since that’s what the guy told me to do…

“Still, I can’t help but feel uneasy.”

“Don’t worry about it, you won’t be able to see it for a while anyway.”

Ice Queen sighed and nodded at Baek Kang-ho’s words.

In a dark room.

Squeak-

“..Ji-hyuk. I made the list as you asked.”

“Oh~ Association President Grandpa. You’ve worked hard.”

Beep- beep. Beep. Beep!

When the association president opened the door, he saw a man playing a game.

“..But, may I ask why you changed the role to a Japanese hero instead of the A-class Ice Queen?”

“Oh my, grandpa. Don’t you know what I have?”

A man who calmly asks the association president a question.

Although the president of the association was well aware of his abilities, it was true that he was a little uneasy.

“..No, but even so, the hero in charge changed from A-class to B+.. And I’m a little cautious about how that guy Maker will react…”

“Don’t worry about it, Grandpa. I can see it all, right? That b*tch, that b*tch, I can see it in your eyes.”

The man who had turned off the game looked at the chairman with an anxious expression and snickered.

“Have you ever lost money by trusting me? No~”

A man walked towards the association president with a gruff expression.

The man put his arm around the association president’s neck in a friendly manner.

‘..that little bastard’s son…’

For a moment, the president of the association felt offended, but the other person was a child of a high-ranking official.

They were also the children of those who gave them financial benefit.

“Haha..I’m sorry for doubting Jihyuk’s ability…I’m worried more and more as I get older…”

“Grandpa. Let’s take it easy.”

‘Because I have a choice.’

Benefiting yourself in any situation.

Because you have the power to choose the right path.

“Trust only me, only me.”

The man chuckled and tapped the association president on the shoulder.

Tudadadada!!

“Wowwowwowwowwow!!!!! So awesome!!!”

“……”

Eclipse’s headquarters.

Narin’s eyes sparkled as she wandered around Eclipse.

“Wow!! It’s the trainer!!!!”

“..heh, hehe..hello…”

“I saw you fighting with Maker Brother!!”

“Oh, brother..? Oh, oh, thank you…”

“Your brother hugged you during the lab raid, right? Wow, I’m jealous! I really wanted to hug you while watching that, but if you asked me to hug you, would you hug me? I’m your subordinate now? Would you? Would you? Really, me too..!!!”

“Okay, let’s go to sleep…”

“Trainer Unnie! Oh, can I call you Unnie? Anyway, Unnie! Oh, but it’s a little uncomfortable to keep using formal language, so can I speak informally? Okay? I’ll talk comfortably, Unnie! Do you like Maker Brother too? I’m the leader of the Maker Brother fan club, Galju and Mapi, and I’m the leader of the Maker Brother fan club. Do you want to join? What do you think? Huh? Where is it?”

“Ugh…”

Narin’s voice continued without pause for a long time.

“Ugh..ugh..”

Hurry up!

After listening to her for a while, Anye-ri gradually grew tired of it and quickly moved away from Na-rin and hid behind me.

“Me, Maker C…”

“…I’m sorry.”

““……””

“I apologize to you all too.”

““Oh, no..!!””

I apologized to the trainer and the members of the organization, and dragged Narin out.

“Brother! Where are you going next?”

After that, Narin swept through various places in Eclipse again.

and..

“Oh my god..!!!!”

“……”

“You’re sooo cute!!! Gyaaa …

“……”

Narin let out a roar of joy when she saw Lee Ga-yeon with a sullen expression.

“Is this that Pollya? She’s so cute!! Hello, baby? Oh, we met yesterday when I picked up my brother, right? Can I touch your cheek? No, it doesn’t mean anything, I just think you’re so cute!! Can I? Can I not?? Oh no?? Gosh! You look like a doll!! What should I do!!”

“..Oppa. This guy is annoying.”

sorry..

“Are you calling your maker brother oppa? Your voice is so pretty!! Don’t you want one, big sister? If possible, a new big sister.. Oh, just kidding! Sorry! Anyway, can’t you call me big sister? Huh? But is this ability a warp ability? I’m jealous~ I wish I had that ability too. Oh, do you like candy? Do you want some candy? But if you eat it, I’ll call you big sister? You don’t like it? If you don’t, I’ll be so sad? You’re so cute when you’re chubby! ”

“Be quiet…”

Lee Ga-yeon covers her ears with both hands, frowning.

She ran towards me and jumped into my arms.

“Narin-ssi. I understand that you like her, but wouldn’t it be better to leave it at that? Gayeon-ssi is very shy…”

“I’m not shy. It’s because he’s noisy.”

..Oh my.

“Sorry! When I get excited, I lose sight of everything! I guess I got too excited to come here. And because you’re so pretty, I got even more excited…I’ll be careful!”

“I’m kind and pretty, so I’ll forgive you.”

“Thank you! Then just call me Unnie once…”

“Forcing someone to do something they don’t like is bad.”

‘……’

Now I just don’t know.

I gave up thinking.

“Maker Oraboni is showing you around right now. Do you want to come with me, Gayeon?”

“Okay.”

With Lee Ga-yeon joining, Eclipse was stirred up for a while.

“Hello Chicken Coop.”

“Hello, ma’am!”

Bam.

‘In the end, this is the repertoire’

I used to sigh.

He grabbed Astra, whose head was sticking up with his telekinesis.

“Let go. Maker.”

“If I let go, I think I’ll be in big trouble.”

“Oh my, just listening to you talk, I can tell you’re trying to kill someone~”

“……”

“You’re just going to give me a brief education? Is it stinging?”

I don’t think it’s the level of education.

“Are you mad at the chicken coop?”

“Are you mad because I mentioned your age?”

“…Ah, let go for a moment. I told you to let go?”

…I’m really going crazy.

***

After the commotion, in Astra’s office.

“..Where did you pick up that strange kid again?”

“…haha.”

I didn’t know it would be like that.

“Still, he is a child with outstanding skills.”

I told Astra a little about how I came to find her and her abilities, embellishing and condensing them.

“Hmm.. If they can stop that hacker from the association, then their skills are definitely there.”

“If Mr. Narin just takes care of the defense a little, information won’t leak out.”

She looks perplexed at my words.

So now calm down a bit..

“Ahem.”

I took the opportunity to briefly clear my throat, at least to give lip service.

“Astra, I hope you weren’t too hurt by what the kids said.”

“..I didn’t get hurt or anything.”

“That’s good. I was worried for no reason, thinking that Astra, who is so delicate, might have been hurt.”

Glance.

Astra glances at me.

She fidgeted with her hands for a moment, then asked me a question.

“..Does the maker think I’m old too?”

“What are you talking about when you’re in your late twenties?”

“Or maybe the appearance is a bit like that..”

Astra said that and twisted her light yellow hair.

I looked at Astra like that and slowly walked to the desk where she was.

“Hmm.”

“Why, why…”

Then he bent his knees, rested his arms on the desk, and stared intently at her, as if examining her face closely.

Let there be a moment of silence between me and Astra.

“I don’t know much about it except that it’s pretty.”

“..Huh?”

I looked up at her with a bright smile.

Then she quickly turns her head.

“Jang, don’t joke around..!”

Although he spoke so bluntly, he could not hide his reddened face and the raised tone of his voice.

“Oh my..”

After a while, she seemed to have calmed down.

‘This should be enough’

“Then I’ll stop here..”

Astra’s anger had subsided, and I was about to turn around to go rest.

“Maker, just a moment.”

She called me over.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“I forgot to tell you this.”

A letter he gave me saying that.

“Just take a good rest and come visit me later.”

“What is this…”

Curious about what she said, I opened the letter.

“..huh.”

And when I read one of the letters inside, I couldn’t help but be shocked.
