“I think this sums it up.”

There was a mountain of documents piled up on the glass table. Chae Seo-ah got off the sofa and sat on the floor, looking at the top of the document and sighing deeply.

“Of course. It’s not a big deal, but why is there so much to check… .”

Jihee Yang speaks as she puts down the pen she was holding.

Establishing a clan was not easy. Starting with insurance, activity direction, and relationships with other clans. There was so much to organize and so much paperwork to fill out.

And just now. The struggle with documents had finally come to an end.

“I understand why large clans hire so many office workers… .”

Yang Ji-hee placed her forehead on the cold table and muttered softly.

“Still, what needs to be done right now is done.”

“Hehe. Iknow, right. Now I’m going on an expedition with Jungwoo. Money… .”

Yang Ji-hee’s expression darkened slightly as she spoke.

Until now, they had been able to sustain their lives with the money they had saved, but this was not going to be possible in the future.

But let’s make money. The gate holds me back.

Thanks to the seeding buff, their combat power was truly outstanding, but the high-grade gates where they could demonstrate that power were limited.

Even that small number was mostly used as the main source of funds for large clans. There was only a remote way to get there.

However, he also has other specialties. There are also a lot of people. There was no company providing financing. Their future was not so bright.

“I still have money, so it’s okay. Personnel is the problem.”

“Are you talking about a tanker?”

Chae Seo-ah nods.

In fact, with the overwhelming buff of Sowing, position was not an obstacle at all.

However, the reason they mentioned the absence of the tanker was simple.

“If there is any aggro, it is a big problem… .”

“Jungwoo Park doesn’t have any defense skills yet… .”

The women who spoke at the same time sighed at the same time.

“It’s not that I’m weak… .”

“Compared to us, maybe a little.”

“The experience is different, and you do not receive the seeding buff.”

“But if you want to recruit a tank, you don’t have the talent.”

A truly competent tank absorbs all attacks.

The presence or absence of provocation and defense skills was the second order. Tankers, who were treated as so-called workers in the hunter industry, had a better sense of humor than anything else.

Not only is it extremely difficult to find such people. Even if you search for it, most of the time you have already hit a player from another clan.

Yang Ji-hee stares at Chae Seo-ah, who is gently rubbing her temples with her eyes closed. A cautious look was evident in his narrowed blue eyes.

“Isn’t there still one person?”

“Are you a tank?”

“Yes. You know Seo-ah well… .”

As Chae Seo-ah listened to the story, her expression became as frozen as ice. I keep my mouth shut and shake my head.

“No.”

“Still… .”

“He has no relationship with me now.”

Yang Ji-hee kept her mouth shut at the tone that was so firm and even cold.

“… Is there a reason you dislike it so much?”

“Of course.”

Chae Seo-ah sighed loudly. With a fine frown. I tapped the table with my fingertips.

Chae Seo-ah remained silent for a long time, as if choosing her words. He spoke in a slightly more subdued voice than usual.

“The person now is not the person Jihee Yang remembered. completely… Because it’s broken.”

There is no divine power in this world. There was a reason why the gate where undead monsters came out was treated as a joke.

It is purely physical force and recovers over time. Because we had to destroy corpses that didn’t even blink when a limb fell off.

Therefore, blunt weapon instructions were semi-essential for the Undead Gate, and even if thorough preparations were made, it was often attacked at a relatively slow speed.

However, the attack speed of this expedition is. It was far beyond common sense.

“Looking at it again, it really makes no sense… .”

The owner of the muttering voice was Jin Do-won. Even though the battle was going on for a long time, he did not rush to the front lines and swing his spear. I just watched the scene of the fight.

He wasn’t negligent. Of the ten expedition members, eight were just watching.

A narrow passage made of stone walls. The sight of the hunters gaping with their mouths open while illuminating the front with flashlights was quite funny in itself.

I also. I was watching the fight going on among the group as if I was half appreciating it.

Flutter! Pakak!!

With a cheerful sound, a chunk of transparent magic smashes the skeleton’s head.

One per foot. Without exception, Ha-yeon Moon’s magic only targeted the monster’s forehead, and she never used more than two magic shots per monster.

She had calm, sunken purple eyes. His long black hair was fluttering due to the recoil of the magic, and he was precisely controlling the magic power flowing within the gate as if it were his own.

Crack, crack, crack!

With the sound of the jawbone rattling. A skeleton rushed forward.

As the rusty sword crossed the air, a thin forearm intervened from somewhere and blocked the sword path.

Kang!

Instead of the horrible sound of flesh being cut, there was a metallic noise.

As the arm advanced, the skeleton’s sword was pushed back effortlessly. Before I knew it, the hand that had reached the front of the skeleton’s face was wide open.

His fingers viciously dug into his empty eye sockets. Hold it in place. Without exception, Ha-yeon Moon’s magic struck a hole in the skeleton’s head.

Damn it! Crispy!

The skeleton had a large hole in its skull, disintegrating at every joint and falling apart.

The person who created that scene. Soyo didn’t even look in that direction. I ran towards the next skeleton.

Decomposed human bones were scattered around the crater blocking the narrow passage. Her body was without a single scratch, and she was clear of all attacks.

“6 minutes, no, 5 minutes… .”

The first encounter lasts 10 minutes. The second is 8 minutes. Now that they’ve reached the third time, they’ve destroyed a small unit of monsters in just 5 minutes.

Jin Do-won glances at me with a dumbfounded expression.

“… Mr. Park Jeong-woo, are you really that strong?”

“I guess because there is a buff… .”

“Buff… .”

of course. Sowing was not perfect. Because it only increased the status, it had no effect on the skills that can be said to be the core of a hunter.

But it’s to the point where I can’t even remember the demerit. The dance that Ha-yeon Moon was showing right now far exceeded Jin Do-won’s and even my expectations.

Jin Do-won, who was staring at me blankly, glanced at me.

“… It’s really a skill dedicated to dog fraud.”

“Should we just do Jin Do-won… .”

Actually, if he wasn’t here. We might not have lost, but the fighting time would have been much longer.

As if to prove it, the skeleton’s head, which was swinging its weapon in the air as if it were dancing with swords, exploded helplessly.

It continued like this. When the monster made a mistake, Soyo caught it and Moon Ha-yeon exploded its head.

Even if we assume that Moon Ha-yeon is due to sowing. It was questionable why Soyo was able to judge and move normally, but

Because I didn’t know her skills, all I could do was tilt my head stupidly. I didn’t think about it for too long.

Jin Do-won glances over to check the situation on the battlefield. The hunters started to make a fuss.

“Oooot! Those cold eyes! Damn you’re so charismatic!”

“You brandished a weapon without our knowledge! As expected, Jin Do-won, the flashing spearman!”

When did the Flash Spearman get his nickname? Jin Do-won was chatting with me.

The shameful cheering did not stop. The tip of Jin Do-won’s spear, whose eyes were tightly closed, trembled.

“Is this still a dog story?”

“No, well, it’s up to you to accept what’s going on in the world… .”

The other hunters were praising Jin Do-won more than the women who went to the front and fought directly. Even if he threw a bucket of water and shouted a steam explosion, I would have believed it.

“I wouldn’t be embarrassed if it were from another world… .”

As I bit my lip tightly and listened to the muttering voice, I felt a surge of sympathy. I patted him on the back.

“Ha… , ah. It’s over.”

After confirming that there were no more skeletons standing, Jin Do-won looked around.

“Please retrieve the materials of all other hunters except Soyo, Ha-yeon Moon, and Jeong-woo Park.”

There was a commotion among the hunters. That’s right. Since entering the gate, the number of times I have participated in collecting materials has been 0.

I knew it was his favor, but I guess it was because he was aware of it. I quietly stabbed him in the side.

“Hey, me too… .”

“No. Mr. Park Jeong-woo is my advisor.”

The appearance of words that I thought I would never hear in my life. And in that unconventional cringe. I closed my mouth tightly.

On the other hand. The hunters looked as if they understood everything from those short words.

“I’m jealous of the staff, damn it… !”

“Hehe. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei of the hunter world… .”

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are a mess. It’s probably a pat and a mat, or a debuff totem and a semen dispenser.

Jin Do-won seemed to be squinting his eyes in my direction. Perhaps because he thought he had won my favor, he walked forward and waved his hand coolly.

If you see me doing that. I think I understand why the main character has a strange skill called Aura. In order not to guess about his usual cultural life, I bit my lip and forced myself to stop thinking.

“It’s all over! Jeongwoo… .”

Around the time I was trying to allay my rising suspicion and vague distrust of subcultural content. Ha-yeon Moon came up next to me, hugged me, and spoke.

“Well, did you do well? Huh?”

“Sure, sure. good job. How many of them did you take down by yourself? You’re amazing, Hayeon.”

“Hehe, hee, hee… Ugh, yes, I worked harder because Jungwoo was there too… .”

I lifted my hand and stroked her soft black hair. Ha-yeon Moon smiled brightly with her eyes closed, then slowly opened her eyes and looked at me.

“Well, then, go later, ok… I’ll do everything for you… ?”

“… Isn’t that a separate thing?”

“Hey, I promised… .”

Moon Ha-yeon spoke while hesitatingly observing my thoughts. I shook my head resolutely.

Because Ha-yeon Moon thought the promise was extremely precious. If I really promised something and forgot, this cute reaction wouldn’t end.

I’ll be lucky if he doesn’t suddenly try to threaten me by shooting a bunch of magical energy or something.

Let’s pat Moon Ha-yeon’s sullen head. Suddenly, something like a pink lump appeared in front of my eyes.

“… Hey, what are you doing?”

“Huh?”

therefore. Ha-yeon Moon did not suddenly make up promises that did not exist.

Not just her. All the people around me these days are crazy, but at least they aren’t trying to manipulate my memories.

“We made a promise when we were young. If you do well, I will pat you on the head.”

She bowed even further. He put his hands on my knees and put his head down.

“Yes. Because we are childhood friends. You remember, right?”

so I. now. It was so fucking scary.
