182. Confusion (6)

The interior of the complex, with the lights occasionally turned off, was darker than expected.

Self-care-

Buck!

“Hit!”

“Shhh, Sia. I can’t see you, so it’s okay to be loud.”

“Ugh..”

Sia’s footsteps were a little loud, but I held onto her hand tightly and tried to calm her down as I slowly moved forward.

Since the incident of a massacre of explorers occurred, we were able to reach our destination easily without any problems.

As time passed and our vision adjusted to the darkness, we stood side by side in front of the relic room.

“But Cain. How are you going to get in? It’s locked.”

“Just wait.”

After hearing Mayu’s explanation and Claude’s muttering, I did a few things in front of the tightly locked door.

Crunch-!!

There was a bit of a noise, but I went right inside after making sure that no one was walking around from where the union staff were.

“The card works without any problems even if you’re not a union employee, so take it out quickly.”

“Uh…uh.”

Claude, Lauren, and Sia made a rustling sound, and then three cards suddenly appeared in the air.

Even if the clothes become transparent, the items inside do not.

I grabbed the three cards floating in the air and headed to the relic.

“Everyone, just wait a minute.”

I carefully took out my card and repeatedly inserted and retrieved it from the relic.

“Let’s check later and go out for now.”

After renewing our cards so easily and absurdly, we quickly went back to where we came from.

After finishing the card renewal faster than expected and confirming that the effect of the invisibility potion still remained, I asked my companions to wait in the park near the union and then went back into the union.

As I moved alone, the sound of my footsteps became even quieter, so I headed to the reception desk where Mi-on was.

“Ugh… I’m sleepy…”

“Lukewarm. Why don’t you take a break?”

“Is that so…?”

“I’ll do the lukewarm part too.”

A male receptionist sat down in Mayu’s seat and took a handful of documents piled up on Mi-on’s reception desk.

And then splitting it into pieces.

“Instead, next time, have a meal with me…”

“I have a boyfriend. And it’s mine, so just give it to me.”

“No…”

slap!

Mion rejected the man’s offer outright, snatched the documents back and placed them on her reception desk.

The man licked his lips, then this time he pushed his face over the partition between the reception desks and started harassing her.

“Hey, don’t do that… He seems to have a lot of women anyway? Looking at that pink-haired girl and the elf he’s been flirting with lately, it seems like he’s already been flirting with her. Mion, who’s tied up in this union, isn’t a slut like that, but a guy at work…”

Is this chewy?

As Mi-on’s expression gradually became more and more rotten, I stood behind where Mi-on was sitting and struck the head of the guy who was outstretched with all my might.

Pfft! Pfft!

Kuung!!!

“Keep on going!!!”

“Gyaat!!”

Mion screamed in shock as she saw her coworker suddenly bang his head against the partition and collapse.

And other union members who had been working all night were also glancing in this direction, making a noise.

“Over there… okay…”

And he held Mi-on’s hand, who was trying to check the man’s condition, and whispered in her ear.

“Lukewarm.”

“Ugh!!”

When my breath and voice reach her ear, Mi-on is startled.

He continued speaking, gently patting her shoulder as she tried to get up from her seat.

“I’m Cain.”

“Ka…Cain? Really Cain?”

“Don’t be surprised, it’s not a ghost or anything, it’s because you drank the invisibility potion.”

“Whew…Whew…But why did you drink the potion…?”

“Can I go outside for a minute to talk more?”

“Yeah, I was going to take a break anyway.”

I held Mi-on’s hand and escaped through the back door of the union building.

“It’s almost time.”

“Huh? What?”

“Potion duration.”

After waiting for a moment, Mi-on’s gaze, which had been looking at an empty space rather than where I was, turned to my face.

“Amazing… I’ve only heard rumors about the invisibility potion, but this is the first time I’ve seen it used.”

“Really? I find it interesting too.”

“I heard it was really expensive, but why did you even take a potion to get here?”

I opened my mouth as I looked at Mi-on’s excited expression, as if she wanted me to say that she wanted to see her.

“Your sister made it for you.”

“…..Okay…don’t joke around.”

“Really. Zion Gresha.”

“….!!!”

Mion, who confessed that she was looking for her sister but didn’t tell me her name, opened her mouth wide when she heard Zion’s name coming out of my mouth.

“Seo…Did you really find it? Huh?”

“Calm down.”

“How can you calm down!! Where’s your sister? Where’s your sister!”

“Shh..”

I grabbed the excited Mi-on’s shoulder and waited for her to calm down for a moment.

Soon she apologized to me with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Mi..Sorry Cain. I was so excited because I didn’t know I’d hear news like this, right?”

“I understand everything. First of all…”

Before telling her the story of Zion, I quickly told her about the current situation in the city.

After hearing the story, Mion’s expression became blank.

“That…that nonsense…”

“That doesn’t make sense. Can’t you see the union leader?”

“Yeah… And the news that the hierarchical movement hall has been controlled, really..?”

“Yeah.”

Mi-on’s expression darkened as she thought about the city’s reaction after the disaster.

“But why are you suddenly talking about that?”

“Your sister told me that the magic circles on the union workers’ tongues are strange.”

“Sigh..!”

Hearing those words, Mion covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders.

‘Hitomi’

[Mion Gresha]

[Caron Martinez] – 70%

[Cain] – 30%

Her shame was not rising even after she was admitted to having sex and having a harem.

He hugged Mi-on, who was momentarily flustered, and comforted her trembling body.

“So let’s run away from the union right now.”

“Uh..huh? But…”

“Will there be any disadvantages to you if you suddenly quit the union?”

“That’s not it, but….”

There were cases where people quit because the receptionist job did not suit their aptitude or were kicked out for other types of corruption, so it was not a structure where getting a job at a union meant you were unconditionally tied to that job.

“Is it because of the contract?”

“Um… I heard that it doesn’t really matter as long as there is no disclosure clause. But still… If you run away like this.”

Seeing Mi-on feeling sorry that her colleagues’ workloads would be increased, I said a word to change her mind.

“Actually. Your sister hesitated to meet you. No, she said she planned to meet you a little later.”

“What? Why!”

“That’s…. I’ll meet you and hear it for myself. I’m so worried about you because of the situation. You mustered up a lot of courage, so hurry up.”

Finally, Mi-on nodded, seemingly determined by what I said.

“Let’s go right now.”

“Yeah.”

Mion immediately grabbed my hand and tried to leave, but then went into the union and threw down her resignation letter and left.

Then we joined the group that was waiting at a nearby park and headed to our accommodation.

The accommodation was quickly repaired, with no damage except for the entrance.

Another unusual thing is that Juri’s men are stationed around the dormitory and are on guard?

We were greeted by Julie and Roy Hawke, who were sitting at the pub on the first floor drinking, and Tanya, who was having a drink.

When we saw the people we had been waiting for with concern, smiles spread across the faces of our group.

“Excuse me… Eek… Mr..Juri?”

“Aha! You were lukewarm? I can tell by your face. Bye!”

Juri waves her hand and greets Mi-on.

Mion, who was well aware of Juri’s notoriety, was taken aback by her hospitality and appeared stiff.

At that moment, Mr. Frank, who was coming out of the kitchen preparing some food, looked at me and opened his mouth.

“Cain.”

“Yep.”

“I’ve packed up all the other guests’ luggage and relocated your rooms on the second floor.”

“Is that okay?”

“I don’t think there will be any customers for a while anyway. It doesn’t matter.”

“Thank you.”

There were many long-term explorers like us. We weren’t close, but we greeted each other when we passed by, so it’s a little bittersweet.

I bowed to Uncle Frank and asked him a question while patting Mi-on, who was frozen when she saw Julie.

“What about Zion?”

“I’m upstairs… Wait a minute.”

Uncle Frank told me the room number for the double room, and I looked at Mi-on.

“Lukewarm. Go up first.”

“Cain…”

“You two will have a lot to talk about. Let’s talk about the rest later.”

“Thank you….”

Mi-on, whose eyes had become moist before she knew it, kissed my cheek deeply and ran up to the second floor.

I led the group to the table while watching Mion’s back.

“Mr. Frank, can we eat it too?”

“Okay. I made a lot for you guys to come.”

The food on the table where the people who stayed at the accommodation were sitting was obviously generous.

“Wow!”

“Wow! Dude, you’re the best!”

“As expected, the owner has a great sense!!”

I’m going to go out and check the kids’ explorer cards, have a light snack, and then go to bed.

So as we sit at the table and eat, Julie puts down her glass, rests her chin on it, and looks at us.

“Hey, I need to check the card quickly.”

“Is that so?”

Curious about what other people might think, we took out the cards we had updated and placed them on the table.

and.

“Crazy…!”

Is this true?
