The headquarters of the Hunters Association of Korea is located in Yongsan, Seoul.

I asked why it was in Yongsan, and they said it was designated by the World Hunter Association.

The Korea Hunter Association is an affiliated organization of the World Hunter Association.

The same goes for the Japanese Hunter Association and the American Hunter Association.

In the first place, the Korean Hunter Association was created by the World Hunter Association.

They say they will do it there, but they can’t stop it.

“But why Yongsan? Aren’t land prices very expensive in Yongsan?”

“The chairman at the time was a person who really liked dragons.”

“…You decided on the location based on your own preference?”

“I guess it was okay because the World Hunter Association had a lot of money.”

The name of Yongsan is Yongsan (龍山).

In other words, the president of the World Hunter Association said he really liked the name Dragon Mountain.

The reason is simple.

How much money have you spent for that simple reason?

“In addition, the chairman at the time kept a dragon as a pet.”

“Can I raise a dragon?

“In the past, there were quite a few dragons in the wild. Even though I haven’t seen my mom a few times.”

It’s a dragon…

I’ve never actually seen one, but I heard that a dragon lived in Yongsan in the old days.

Yongsan is not called Yongsan for nothing.

A dragon, an S-class monster of which there are only a few observed in the world.

The name is Mukryong.

I heard that it was eradicated a long time ago and became a weapon.

I heard that the weapon made from the ink dragon’s molars is an S-class weapon.

“The dragon the chairman raised was probably a tamed monster? Yujun is like a rabbit in your arms.”

“Ah. If that’s the case, it could be so.”

“pp.”

When I mentioned myself, Starlight responded.

It wasn’t noticeable because it was under the suit, but Starlight came with it.

Starlight is already part of our family, so we can’t miss events where the whole family gathers.

For reference, permission was obtained from the Hunter Association in advance.

Can I bring a rabbit?

I willingly gave permission.

I am just grateful.

It was my mother’s first time seeing Starlight, but she had heard that she was raising it, so she thought it was cute.

I poked Starlight with my finger and stroked her head.

“Mom liked dogs and cats…but looking at it like this, rabbits are cute too. Calm.”

“Right? ”

“But what is that star floating above your head?”

My mother pointed out the stars floating around my head.

I was wondering how to answer this, so I scratched my head and answered appropriately.

“It looks like there are stars floating on its head because its species is the Starlight Rabbit.”

“Was there such a rabbit…?”

“It’s an S-class taming monster.”

“He? It’s amazing…”

Until now, an S-class taming monster had never appeared in this world.

No matter how much I searched, it didn’t come up.

In other words, our Starlight is a unique being and the world’s first S-class taming monster on Earth.

“Pfft!”

Starlight was held in her mother’s arms.

It seems like my mother is in a good mood.

“What a good rabbit.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to be in your mother’s embrace, or think of it as a safe zone?”

“Do you have a good feeling about it, perhaps because rabbits are at the bottom of the food chain?”

“Pfft!”

“But again, S-class monsters were not at the bottom of the food chain. Sorry, my rabbit.”

“It’s starlight.”

I asked for correction from my mother who did not call me by name.

But then her mother called Starlight a rabbit.

‘How can you not call it a narwhal rabbit?’

I don’t know why the narwhal rabbit became the starlight rabbit.

Or, maybe it was a starlight rabbit to begin with but was hiding itself as a narwhal rabbit.

It’s probably related to King Yuil.

‘…Now that I think about it, my mother believes everything I say.”

They didn’t really suspect me for saying something like an S-class tamer monster or something.

I wonder if there are any parents who doubt their sons, but the mother is more likely to be in a higher position than I think.

Of course, you may be in a position to be suspicious.

In such a situation, it may be difficult to casually believe what I say.

Despite this, my mother did not have any doubts or anything.

“Mother.”

“Huh?”

Before I knew it, my mother, who had taken Starlight from my arms and was holding her in her arms, turned around.

Even though he said he would come up and tell me later, I was curious and wanted to ask.

What on earth is your mother?

Before changing common sense, you were a simple housewife.

“No. It’s nothing.”

“It’s bland.”

“How many floors do I have to go up? It’s already over the 40th floor.”

There is something more important than asking such questions.

How many floors do I have to go up to?

If I wasn’t an awakened person, I would have already stretched out.

“Mom works on the 45th floor, so don’t be weak and follow me.”

“I didn’t say anything weak…”

I just asked because I was having a hard time.

I barely arrived at the 45th floor.

My mother opened the door and went inside, and I followed behind.

When I came inside, the floor was decorated like the office of the CEO of a company.

Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean this is the office.

If you watch something like a drama, there are secretaries waiting in front of the chairman’s office, right?

It looked like that.

“Are you here? Director.”

“Yes.”

…huh?

Head of department?

What general manager?

My mother took off the suit jacket she was wearing.

Then, the owner of the voice came over and handed over the jacket.

Like an experienced assistant, he hung the suit jacket on a hanger and put it in the styler.

She glanced back at me.

“This is your son.”

“Is this your first time meeting face to face? Well, I’ve been trying to hide it until now, but if we’ve already met, it’s a big deal.”

“Nice to meet you. Seong Yujun. I am Seong Yu-jun’s mother’s secretary.”

“Secretary…?”

No, the object of comparison was the president’s office and the secretary’s waiting room… A real secretary?

Is my mom high enough to need a secretary?

“Yes. Seong Yu-jun’s mother is the head of the Korea Hunter Association headquarters.”

“I’m sorry, my son. My mom kept it a secret until now.”

“Director…?”

Director of the Korea Hunter Association Headquarters.

In other words, he is the highest ranking person in the Korean Hunter Association.

What that position means…

The person who actually leads the Republic of Korea today.

The de facto head of state who is delegated all powers from the president, including the right to command the armed forces, the right to declare martial law, the right to appoint public officials, the right to pardon, commute and reinstate, the right to grant military honors, and the right to plan operations.

That person… is my mother?

I looked at my mother with a puzzled expression.

Mom just grinned.

No, I’d like you to explain.

“That is. To put it simply, it is this.”

She introduced herself as a secretary, adjusted her glasses and spoke softly.

That one word was so impressive that I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

“At least in this Republic of Korea, there is no one with more power than Seong Yu-jun’s mother.”

Ah…my mom?

really…?

*

The S-class hunter promotion ceremony was held quietly.

The only camera available is from a terrestrial TV station that is the only one licensed by the Hunter Association.

The funny thing is, that camera is just lying around.

The cameraman couldn’t even come inside.

“The Hunter Association recognizes your outstanding ability and endless potential and grants you S-class hunter status.”

My two older sisters and my mother standing in front of the camera.

My mother was reciting the appointment letter she was holding.

It’s a stiff letter of appointment, considering it’s not from Korea.

This part was a bit disappointing as there was no difference before or after changing common sense.

“Hey. Yujun.”

“Why.”

Eugene is standing next to me and watching the appointment ceremony.

He took Starlight away from me and held her in his arms.

Starlight seems to like Yujin and is just quietly holding her.

“You. Did you know that your mom is the head of the Hunter Association?”

“No. I knew it earlier too.”

“Really? Then I guess they kept it a secret just between the two of us…”

“Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t know. To begin with, I’m not a hunter or anything.”

That’s right.

I’m a hunter, but Eugene, this guy is a civilian.

However, my sister’s response was that she already knew.

“You must have known just by looking at it. There is no way the assistant master of the Hwanwoong Guild would not have met the head of the Korean headquarters.”

“So, your mother, father, and older sister are part of the same group.”

My father told me to ask my mother directly.

In the first place, there was no way my father didn’t know what his wife’s mother’s occupation was.

“I think it would have been very convenient if I had known this when I was in middle school or high school~”

“You want to go to school comfortably because your mom is the most powerful person?”

“Of course! How difficult it was! You know how much I suffered from Hakju!”

“…”

I do not know.

What was Eugene like before the change in common sense?

Oh, I was getting beaten up by teacher Hakju back then too.

I think I also used kamchi once a week.

“Would Hakju have scolded me like that even if he knew that my mother was the head of the association?”

“I don’t think it will change.”

Are you going crazy?

Even if my mother said there was no need for it, the teachers at school wouldn’t have even touched it.

“Ha… It’s a shame, it’s a shame.”

I understand why my mother hid her identity.

If you have a daughter like this, it would be inevitable to try to hide it.

“I hope that we will move forward with the Association with pride in our new mission. May 2, Seong Ji-hee, President of the Korea Hunter Association.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you!”

My mother handed out appointment letters to my sisters.

We clapped loudly at the same time.

On that day, a new S-class hunter who would lead the Republic of Korea was born.

Tomorrow, the Tamra Tower attack begins.
