april.

A time when the whole world turns pink.

At that time, Im Seul-gi, who had been with him for a long time, left him to find a new love.

The point is that I decided to get promoted after finding someone I could promise to marry. Marriage and childcare require a lot of money.

“This is Baek Yu-jin. Please take good care of me.”

After a breakup, a new encounter always comes.

Baek Yu-jin, the new recruit who will fill Im Seul-gi’s empty spot, stood in her seat and bowed her head.

Clap clap clap─

Warm greetings like “Welcome!” and “Please take care of me!” were delivered, and the receptionists quickly calmed the mood as business began.

“If there’s anything you don’t know, ask me! After all, I’m your senior… .”

Except for one person.

Kim Min-ji came between me and Baek Yu-jin and rubbed her nose.

Even though we’ve only been together for a month, it seems like he wants to act as a senior.

Well, maybe it’s a habit from her gyaru days, because she would call me “senpai” and follow me around a lot.

“I don’t think there is any custom of ranking among receptionists.”

Ugh… .

I was glancing at Kim Min-ji, then turned my gaze in surprise at Baek Yu-jin’s dry voice.

Ashen long hair with a dull atmosphere that matched her speech. Her pale skin like a snow maiden and her cloudy gray-green eyes matched well, but because the overall color scheme was dark, she felt a bit cold and gloomy.

Anyway, since appearance has nothing to do with personality, let’s put it aside, and even though every word of what he said was so right that it made me feel good, this time I felt a little sorry for Kim Min-ji.

“That, that’s right… I’m sorry… I’m sorry for being born… .”

Kim Min-ji muttered something incomprehensible and headed to her seat with her shoulders slumped.

“Ah… .”

“It’s okay. It’ll be okay soon.”

Baek Yu-jin awkwardly reached out her hand, as if she was feeling sorry for being late. I smiled at her and told her it was nothing.

“Minji, everyone has a different personality. Don’t be so downhearted, okay?”

“Seo, senior… !”

“Yeah, if you’re grateful, work a little harder.”

“Yes, yes!”

In fact, as soon as Kim Min-ji sat down, she became energetic and full of motivation. The problem is that her motivation always burns in the wrong direction.

“If there’s something you don’t know, feel free to ask, just like Minji said. I did that too.”

“Oh, yes.”

Baek Yu-jin probably didn’t show a cold attitude because she had bad intentions. She even responded properly to my encouragement. More than that, is she a sniper because I’m sitting next to her? I don’t know if she can help a newbie like Im Seul-gi adapt well.

So I started work with a little more enthusiasm than usual.

“Receptionist Lee Haru, thank you so much for your kind service.”

“No, no. I am the one who should be thanking you for watching over me. Thank you for your hard work as always.”

A man dressed in a neat suit, with a somewhat pale appearance.

Commonly known as ‘Silence.’

It is a nickname given to those who are caught by him because they are said to lose their lives before even being able to utter a sound.

“Huh? Don’t you know? Sister Haru, you’re asking me to submit evidence?”

“I am currently in charge of the hero. Also, it is the guild’s policy to submit evidence… .”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

As soon as I sent Silence away, something happened right next to me.

A blonde beauty who prefers revealing outfits, as can be seen from her shirt with the front part of her shirt completely unbuttoned.

She is a hero who is famous as an idol in various communities and is active under the name ‘Leah’.

“I’ll help you from here.”

“… … .”

A small discontent appeared on Baek Yu-jin’s expressionless face. It was a change that would have been difficult for anyone else to notice, but my eyes, trained as Hannah Yeon’s opponent, saw it all.

Of course, it wasn’t my intention to steal Baek Yu-jin’s work. After all, the receptionist’s job was paid on a monthly basis, not a performance-based system, and in the end, stealing the job next to me would only increase my workload.

I just wanted to prevent the guild from getting crowded due to the waiting list.

There is nothing good for us by arguing with heroes.

“As expected, Haru unnie is really good at communicating!”

Especially in Leia’s case, if you just go to any hero-related community site, you’ll find a ton of evidence photos.

You can also find nearby places in the same text.

Even if I don’t come out, it doesn’t matter because the guild will still punish me. I will have to accept the disadvantages for that, though.

The bottom line is that you have to do things in a rational way. You don’t want to get tired of each other.

“Yes, that’s it. Thank you for waiting.”

“Yeah, thanks for your hard work, Unnie Haru~”

Leah waved her hand cheerfully and left.

And Baek Yu-jin, who had been watching quietly from the side, asked me a question quietly.

“Is that okay?”

“Well… It’s not a good idea. Haha… .”

It’s not something to brag about. I hope that things are handled according to procedure whenever possible. If you keep using this kind of expedient method, you never know where problems might arise.

“Kkeukkeukkeuk, I guess you’re a newbie.”

After Leah left, another unusual hero sat in front of Baek Yu-jin.

They’re not people who come here often, but maybe Baek Yu-jin has the power to attract weirdos.

An old man’s voice, created through voice modulation, that is so jarring that it’s almost annoying to even hear it. And a ridiculous mask shaped like an old man’s face.

A hero of unknown identity with the nickname ‘Elder Mask’. Although her personal information clearly states that she is a 23-year-old woman, along with a photo ID.

“We will help you settle the account.”

At first glance, it might seem confusing, but Baek Yu-jin continued her work without batting an eyelid.

Wow. When I first saw Elder Mask, I was so shocked that I was shocked for a long time.

“Mr. Iharu, can you spare me a moment?”

“Hic… .”

As I was nervously watching Baek Yu-jin’s second customer response, someone came up to me without a sound and spoke to me.

“Yes, yes… . What’s the matter… .”

“Let’s go to the branch manager’s office and discuss the details.”

The branch manager suddenly turns around and heads towards the stairs.

There was no choice in the first place. Nothing was more important than the branch manager’s words in the guild.

“What do you think, Baek Yu-jin?”

The branch manager sat down on the sofa and got straight to the point.

Unless you have something to tease me about, most people feel this way. The branch manager is also one of those people who are pressed for time.

“He may be a little stiff, but he seems like a fundamentally honest person. He also knows the rules well.”

Without hesitation, he recited his first impression of Baek Yu-jin.

Although his attitude toward heroes seemed to need some improvement, there was no concern about work-related matters.

“I see. That’s fortunate.”

But this didn’t seem to be the answer the branch manager wanted.

“Can I tell you one thing that might be burdensome to Mr. Iharu?”

“Yes…? Oh, yes. It’s okay.”

As expected, there was something.

Moreover, the branch manager’s tone became very low, so for some reason I started to feel nervous.

“As a shooter, please keep a close eye on Baek Yu-jin. Of course, I don’t mean to keep an eye on her to the point of making her feel bad… Do you understand what I mean?”

The branch manager lowered his head and whispered as if he was telling a secret.

“Yes… For now… .”

At first glance, it sounds like he’s telling his senior to take good care of the new employee, but if that were an obvious thing to say, there would be no need to create such a suspicious atmosphere.

“And please try to maintain a friendly relationship if possible. Even though I feel uneasy, he is a talent I don’t want to lose.”

As the conversation progresses, doubts grow.

The branch manager gave such a generous evaluation to Baek Yu-jin, who just joined the company?

“Is it okay if I ask why?”

As if my question was justified, the branch manager nodded and took a large map from his desk.

“Here, here. And here.”

Red circles drawn haphazardly in the Isty region, the guild’s area of responsibility.

There was no pattern, no associative shape.

And as far as I know, there’s only one instance where this phenomenon has appeared on a map.

“This is the area where the demons were blocked without any damage thanks to what Baek Yu-jin had mentioned in advance.”

The branch manager who memorized it and showed it to me in front of my eyes was amazing, but the miracle that Baek Yu-jin performed was even more amazing.

“That’s….”

Predicts the area where demons appear.

Even I, who had some knowledge of the original work, failed. Now, the ‘Children of the Stars’ I knew is no more. Because of that, I gave up all the ambitions I had before getting a job.

“Sometimes, they say he appears in my dreams. Of course, I didn’t believe it at first, but when coincidences repeat, it becomes a skill. Since there was an opening, I quickly hired him.”

Is it ability…?

Until now, I have never met a hero with the ability to foresee.

If there had been such a hero, the world would have been abuzz with stories about him already.

Of course, judging from the areas marked by the branch manager, it seems that even Baek Yu-jin can’t predict all the demonic appearances. After all, if she could predict everything, it would have been a priority to overhaul the guild’s hero management system rather than hiring Baek Yu-jin.

“Although it may be subtle as a hero, it will definitely be a great force if you just join the guild. The manifestation of the ability is irregular, but it is true that it can prevent a lot of damage.”

The branch manager also pointed out that part precisely and looked at me with a meaningful smile.

“Do you know why I’m telling you this, Mr. Iharu?”

“Yes… .”

Trust?… .

I feel a sense of burden and my stomach is churning.

But I guess I have to do it. It’s a pleasure to be trusted by someone higher up.

“I have a favor to ask. Now, don’t be too burdened!”

“I will work hard… .”

The branch manager tried to speak brightly, but my slumped shoulders wouldn’t straighten up.

The new recruit who came in this time.

I think he’s a more unique person than I thought.
