For four days, I also studied things such as precautions when entering the gate.

The four people, who had received practical training to help them focus and not make mistakes at the gate, were now truly about to face their first raid.

“Haha, I’m nervous.”

I went to bed early as I had to control my condition well, but my heart was pounding so hard that I couldn’t sleep as much as I wanted.

“Did everyone get some sleep?”

Chaeyoon asked with a tired face.

“Ugh, no. I think I finally fell asleep around 3 o’clock.”

“Wow, so you slept for 4 hours? I’m jealous.. I really couldn’t sleep a wink.”

It was a strange situation where Nahyun said she barely fell asleep around 3 o’clock and Arin was jealous that she only slept for 4 hours.

“I slept really well.”

However, among them, there were some who slept very well.

As usual, Su-ah looked very neat and did not look tired at all.

“..Wow, Sua has a completely steel mentality. I’m so jealous.”

Chae-yoon, like Arin, couldn’t sleep at all, so he was just jealous of Su-ah’s sweet sleep.

“What, didn’t you guys sleep well? Not even children waiting for a picnic! It’s me!”

Of course, I was half excited and half worried.

What Su-a said was not wrong.

When you were a child waiting for a picnic, you probably had the experience of not being able to sleep properly the night before.

“..Haha, that’s right. We look like children.”

Arin nodded in approval and began to drink a glass of milk.

“You should eat a hearty breakfast this morning, right? My sister will cook for me. Everyone, come wash up.”

Chae-yoon had already washed up, tied her hair up high, and started preparing to cook.

“Wow, Chae-yoon’s food is so good~”

Su-ah was excited and went to wash up.

“I already washed everything. If there is anything I can help you with, let me know.”

“Me too.”

Nahyun and Arin, who couldn’t sleep well, had already washed up, as had Chaeyun, so they tied their hair up to help.

“Huh? It’s okay. Um, then can you wash the dishes from last night’s dinner?”

“Okay~ Washing dishes is my specialty~”

“Then I’ll take a dry dishcloth next to you.”

Arin and Nahyeon started washing dishes together, and Chaeyun started cooking on the other side.

“Soo-ah, I didn’t know you could sleep so well.”

“But he has a slightly blunt side.”

Arin and Nahyun, who were washing dishes together, talked about various things.

“Hehe, it will be like that after we go through the gate a few times.”

Chae-yoon also interrupted the two people’s conversation once in a while while they were cooking.

It was true that I was very nervous right now, but Chaeyun was right.

If this raid was completed successfully, there would be a schedule to continuously enter the gate in the future.

It was clear that if you succeeded in raiding a few times like that, the tension and excitement would naturally ease.

***

When the four of you were talking about your excitement about your first raid.

“…I’m nervous.”

There was one more person here who couldn’t sleep because he was nervous.

“Director, didn’t you sleep well..?”

Geon-wu asked Seo-jun, who was looking quite tired.

Seojun expressed his fatigue by simply nodding his head.

“How come you couldn’t sleep? Well, since this is your first time going to the gate, you might be a little nervous.”

As Geon-woo looked at Seo-jun, he remembered the day he first went to the gate.

It was a long time ago, and at that time, Geonwoo was much younger than he is now.

Even Geonwoo, who has a dull personality, couldn’t help but feel nervous when he first entered the gate.

This was even more so because at that time, the association’s rules were more lax than now, and many accidents were occurring.

“I was also very nervous when I first entered the gate.”

“Chief Kim looks nervous. I can’t even imagine.”

From the moment Seojun got to know Geonwoo, he was always a blunt person in any situation.

Even when he encountered Seok-ho Kang, the chairman of Sogang, he was so blunt that he greeted him silently without any noticeable change in his expression.

“When you first met the Chairman, didn’t you have the exact same expression as you do now?”

“Hmm, you misunderstand. I was very nervous at that time.”

“I can’t believe it.”

In fact, Seojun’s nervousness was more due to the fact that he was meeting four people up close than the fact that he was entering the gate.

However, it was also true that the tension felt like it was easing to some extent as I had a normal conversation with Geon-wu.

“Then, let’s leave quickly. Dahyun, let’s go to kindergarten.”

“Seojun oppa! This was drawn by Dahyun! I’ll give it to you!”

“Not my brother, but my uncle.”

In reality, there wasn’t much of an age difference between Geon-woo and Seo-jun.

Since Seojun was 26 and Geonwoo was 29, the suggestion to call them uncle instead of oppa was not wrong.

“Ugh, no. Seojun oppa is oppa!”

Dahyun seemed to have no intention of doing so.

“Haha, right. I am your brother.”

Seojun seemed to really like that title as he smiled brightly at Dahyun.

“Wow, our Dahyun. Are you really good at drawing? We can go out to the painting side later!”

“Ahem! Dahyun is actually really good at drawing~!”

It was very cute to see him hold his form quite well.

“It’s not my brother, it’s my uncle. Call me uncle, daughter.”

“No! Uncle is what older people call uncle!”

“What..? No, this uncle is also old?”

“Seojun oppa is just being oppa~”

Although Dahyun was spouting strange sophistry.

In Dahyun’s eyes, Seojun looked like a high school student at most, so it wasn’t strange for her to call him that.

“No, why are you asking me to call you uncle like that? Just let me sing it comfortably.”

“No. Dahyun said last time that she was going to marry the director. I can’t let you call me oppa anymore.”

Geon-wu was a fool for his daughter to the point of seriousness.

“…Wow.. I really shouldn’t be a father like that in the future.”

“The director will feel completely different when you actually give birth.”

Seojun couldn’t refute the single father who said that he was only saying that because he didn’t have any children.

In reality, since he didn’t have a child, Seojun couldn’t even imagine what that felt like.

“Anyway, do you have any intention of getting married? Before, you spoke as if you would live alone your whole life.”

“Huh? No, whatever. It’s just an assumption, an assumption.”

I had no intention of getting married right away, and I had never seriously thought about marriage.

“Isn’t there nothing to do other than think seriously in the first place? I’m not meeting anyone. Isn’t marriage something you do alone?”

“Well, don’t you know that there are many women who will rush to you if you say you are thinking of getting married?”

Seojun was a person with excellent looks, a good personality, and a great background.

When he announced that he would get married, it was natural that women would flock to him.

“I want to fall in love and get married if possible.”

“You honestly have no intention of doing it.”

“Well, I’m busy right now. You won’t know again after the busy work is done.”

After all the busy work is settled and all four people have been raised to become S-class hunters.

At that time, it was something I could really think about again.

Of course, it was unclear whether a woman other than the four would catch Seojun’s eyes.

“Yes, whatever. Once that happens, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try dating one of the four Hunters.”

Of course, Geon-wu thought that Seo-jun was saying this with the four of you in mind, so he said it casually.

“Yes? Why are four people there?”

Seojun was surprised and answered because he had never even thought about dating four people.

“Huh? If not you, is there someone else you have in mind?”

“There is no such thing…”

“Then aren’t you the strongest candidates?”

“No, I’ve never thought of you that way…?!”

Seeing Seojun confused, Geon-woo tilted his head, but then nodded slowly.

“Yes, whatever. We’ll talk about that later. First of all, let’s leave before it’s too late. Dahyun, come here.”

“Ugh, I don’t like it~ Dahyun is going to hold hands with Seojun oppa, well~”

Dahyun, who responded sarcastically, ran to Seojun’s side.

“Oppa, please take Dahyun to kindergarten.”

“Puhup, ah. Why is Dahyun so cute? Yes, yes. Let’s go.”

Seojun and Dahyun held out their hands and took the lead and walked out the front door.

“…It will be a bit difficult when I hit puberty.”

The father, Geon-woo, simply acted as a porter, carrying the bag on his back and chasing after the two.

Thinking about the pain of adolescence after my daughter grows up.

‘I’m dating one of the four people..?’

While Geon-woo was thinking about his daughter’s puberty, Seo-jun was thinking about dating one of the four people he had never thought about before.

‘Hehe.. Well, does dating only happen because I like it?’

Of course, in the end, the end of my worries was like this.
