episode_0076

After finding information about the mysterious item seen in the dream with the help of Han Gyu-ri.

I decided to put off getting items until later and start with work related to the Hundred Days Guild.

Jirisan Gate 992, a likely destination, is a low-level gate equivalent to F grade.

Although it is very safe for low-rank Simmani to go, strictly speaking, I am not in a state where I can enter the gate yet.

I think it would probably be appropriate to go in after receiving treatment from the Baekil Group in the near future.

“Umm… .”

How long had it been since I sat in the office like that, preparing materials to hand over to the 100-day group?

Wooung─ Wooung─

A short notification rang on the cell phone placed on the desk.

[ㄱArin♥]

It was none other than a message from my girlfriend.

“… … .”

I quietly peeked my head over the partition and looked at Kim Jun-hyung and Han Gyu-ri.

Crack… Crash…

Keyboard noise resounding softly.

It seemed like he was concentrating on his work.

I lowered my head again, picked up my phone, and checked the messages.

[ ㄱArin♥: I went out for a moment. Would you like to have lunch together today? ]

When I asked what was going on, I was told that we would have lunch together.

‘I was thinking of seeing you in the evening… .’

Actually, I was planning to get busy again starting tomorrow, so I was planning on going to her house in time for dinner.

‘It’s good to see you again.’

[ Me: Is that so? ]

[ Me: Where do you want to eat? ]

I accepted the meal offer without much thought and thought about the restaurants she liked.

‘Shall we go to Korean food today?’

however.

[ ㄱArin♥: Let’s go here! ]

She sent me a link right away, as if she had already chosen the location.

“… … ?”

I immediately opened the link and checked the location, but for a moment I couldn’t believe my eyes.

[ PIA STAY HOTEL ]

The place Arin Lim sent me was not a restaurant, but a luxury business hotel.

‘Did I send it by mistake?’

I sent a reply, naturally thinking that she must have been mistaken and sent the wrong message.

[ Me: Is this right here? Is it a hotel? ]

OK.

[ ㄱArin♥: That’s right! ]

Unexpectedly, she expressed her positivity by adding a cute emoticon.

‘what… ? Are you trying to go to a restaurant here?’

Why do you want to go to a hotel, leaving behind the best restaurants?

[ Me: What do I have here? ]

Having doubts, I followed up by sending a message.

[ ㄱArin♥: Bed! ]

I was momentarily lost in the reply that came as if it was obvious.

I guess… . She seemed to want to sleep in broad daylight.

next day.

Team Seoul City Hall’s preparations for subjugation have begun again.

“Did everyone rest well?”

““Yes!””

“Good. Let’s work hard today too!”

While the three people who returned from vacation were warming up together, Han Gyu-ri approached and shared news about work.

“Producer! I just received a call from Baekil Group saying they have confirmed the contents and asking me to proceed as is.”

“Really? The work is done quite quickly there too.”

“And… . that… .”

Han Gyu-ri speaks in a strangely cautious manner.

“I also received a call from Sejin… .”

It seemed that the Sejin guild was finally starting to move in earnest.

‘You waited longer than I expected.’

After making Black Rose number one, the relationship with the Sejin Guild reached its peak.

Perhaps that’s why I haven’t had much involvement in working with Baekil.

Seeing that he contacted me only when I was about to start work, it seemed like he was trying to give me some attention.

“What should I do?”

“Hmm… . I think it will be difficult to empty my head today because of training. Could you please ask a person in charge to be sent around lunchtime?”

“Uh… . Is it still okay?”

Han Gyu-ri asked back carefully, as if she was still thinking about her relationship with Se-jin.

I nodded and firmly added one word.

“We are now working with the ‘100 Days Group’, not the ‘100 Days Guild’.”

They said there was no problem at all, so don’t worry.

“You know, right?”

“… Yes.”

After leaving the work to Gyu-ri Han.

Morning training continued.

Since a theory lecture was scheduled for the afternoon, the training was conducted mainly on a lighter basis than usual.

“Seowon. Would you like to attack a little harder?”

“… Yes.”

‘Everyone’s skills have improved a lot.’

Even though we are only about to embark on our third subjugation, the team members have shown much faster growth than I expected.

In the case of supporter Kim Na-rae, she is currently at the top of C rank.

You may think that it is only a C rank, but considering that when you first auditioned, you were only in the middle of a D rank, you can see that you have grown quite rapidly.

Of course, Bang Hanna also grows quickly.

While she was barely at D rank, she has now risen to the level of B rank, showing great performance that far exceeds her abilities every time.

If she can bring out her full potential, perhaps she can grow into a first-choice tank comparable to Hong Yu-ra.

If you have any concerns… .

This is Jin Seo-won, the ace of our team.

Ironically, Jinseowon’s current level is still in the bottom tier.

However, the performance she has shown so far is clearly more than that.

Looking back on her performance that goes beyond theory, it seems that there is a mysterious chemical reaction that I was not aware of.

‘I wish I could grow up quickly… .’

Although I don’t really reveal it, I am looking forward to Jin Seowon’s growth more than anyone else.

In the original novel, she was Seol Joo-hee’s nemesis who was so powerful that she pushed her into a corner.

If we can borrow the power of the ‘Cheonma’, which used to blow people to pieces with its bare hands, we will be able to easily block the next two invasions.

“Guys. Let’s stop here for today.”

“Oh, really!?”

“Hannah, don’t you like it so much?”

“Well, that’s not it… .”

“… I like it.”

“I like it too.”

“Uh, uh… ?”

After finishing morning training like that.

“I will eat well… !”

“… I will eat well.”

Lunchtime followed a short break.

“Umm… ! Producer! This is so delicious… !”

“Really? Should I have tried that too?”

“Well, then… ! Try some of mine… ?”

“… Eat this.”

“Oh… !”

“Ah. thank you. Since Seowon gave it to me, I’ll try it.”

“Yes… .”

While I was in the middle of a meal with the members, I received a call from Gyu-ri Han, who had finished eating first.

[The person in charge from Sejin is waiting for you! ]

The story was that someone from Sejin was waiting for me.

“… Guys. I’ll wake up first, so eat slowly.”

“Ah, yes!”

I had already finished eating and left the restaurant.

After lightly gargling, I went straight to the upstairs office where the person in charge was waiting… .

“It arrived pretty quickly?”

“… Are you the one in charge?”

They said a person in charge from Sejin had arrived, and the director himself came by.

“If not me, who will be in charge?”

Hye-ri Lee gave a strange look, pointing to the sofa across from her as if she liked it.

I sat down quietly and pretended not to know anything and asked about his business.

“So, what brought you here?”

“I came here to let you know who you are.”

“… What?”

She crossed her stocking-wrapped legs, gave me a disapproving look, and made a rather aggressive remark.

“What on earth did Baek Yu-jin offer that made you sign a contract? Did he take off his clothes and bow his head?”

The rare harshness of his speech made me feel like his relationship with Baek Yu-jin was not very good.

‘The daughters of chaebol families are not easy either.’

I tried to speak quietly with the intention of guessing her intentions.

“Didn’t you know everything?”

OK.

“Do you think I’m asking you because I really don’t know?”

He gave a quite meaningful answer in a soft tone.

‘That’s right… .’

After finishing the review and being silent for a moment, I met Lee Hye-ri’s gaze head-on and revealed the truth.

“They decided to fix my leg there. I probably would have refused, but I couldn’t refuse this.”

“Any other suggestions?”

She calmly asks the question as if it were something she already knew.

I was relieved by that reaction and shamelessly responded by putting a metal plate on my face.

“He asked me not to join Sejin and to remain neutral.”

“Hmm… . so. Did you decide to do that?”

“I decided to think about this a little more. I made a promise to you… , isn’t it a bit harsh to make conclusions?”

In short, it meant that they would take action based on the situation.

“Okay… . In the first place, you feel more sorry for the person you like. I will understand.”

Hyeri Lee did not add anything else.

He just stared at me, sighed deeply, and shook his head.

“Why are you like this? I think I did something wrong.”

“You are right. Did you not think at all about my position when I gritted my teeth and pushed ahead with the contract?”

“There was no clause prohibiting signing with another group, right?”

If you had put “, you wouldn’t have signed the contract.”

I just smiled slightly and didn’t respond to what she said.

“… I never thought the day would come when I would be abused.”

Hyeri Lee looked at me as if she was resentful, but didn’t say anything in particular.

However, he only made a request to Baek Yu-jin, telling him never to give up even a single inch of his heart.

“Don’t forget. The second one is me.”

I smiled slightly at her, hiding the fact that I had already drawn a line with Baek Yu-jin.

The straddling the line between Sejin and Baekil was easier than I thought.

*

There is a saying that time is like sand.

This means that no matter how tightly you grip it, you cannot prevent it from slipping through your hands.

I think that analogy is very appropriate.

Time went by so quickly that I couldn’t control it.

“Producer! stamp… ! Please stamp… !”

“Hmm… . Because I had a particularly hard time this time… . I’ll take two pictures.”

“Really!?”

“Okay then! I took on five golems alone, shouldn’t I do this much?”

“Thank you… ! Now just a little more… !”

“… What about me?”

“Yes. Seowon worked hard too.”

Team Seoul City Hall’s third gate conquest was able to be completed without much difficulty.

[Team Seoul City Hall breaks through the gate one after another with great difficulty… … ]

[Scary newcomer, Seoul City Hall. When is rank measured? ]

[Continuous subjugation of Overrank Gate. Team Seoul City Hall’s secret is… . ]

Perhaps because of this, the name of Team Seoul City Hall was always included in the articles pouring in every day.

“Jihyuk. Some people said they created our fan club and asked us to manage it. What should I do with this?”

“No, fan club? Already?”

In the meantime, a fan club was formed, and Kim Jun-hyung’s work increased to the point.

‘If I just go at this pace, it’ll be enough.’

One day when we were having such a successful day and spurring the team’s growth.

A message arrived from Baek Yu-jin.

[Baekil Group Baek Yujin: This subjugation was also difficult. Even within the guild, expectations are very high. ]

[Baekil Group Baek Yujin: All preparations have been completed, so please contact us right away at any time. ]

The news was that the medicine was finally ready.
