We traveled together in Cross Guild Seo Ha-rin’s vehicle as a supporter for the guild’s promotion.

“Arrived. Get down.”

I got out of the vehicle at her words.

It felt like I was inside the city center with everything sparkling.

Perhaps because it was slowly starting to get dark, the city center was full of Leon signs.

“This way.”

As I followed Seo Ha-rin, who was wearing a suit, the narrow street was full of advertising placards that looked like some kind of phone sales event.

Looking closely, I saw that all of the placards were job advertisements for guild members at Cross Guild.

It seemed like even such a shabby method was being used as 70 guild members had disappeared.

-Knock knock knock.

So I went into the building and knocked on the door that was filled with advertisements.

“Welcome.”

A man’s voice was heard coming from inside.

It was clear that he was probably the master of the Cross Guild, Park Pyo-hwan.

Seo Ha-rin immediately opened the door and went inside.

“Me. Master.”

“Is it already shift time?”

A furry man whose dark circles have come down to this level.

He looked truly pitiful, considering he was the master of the second-ranked guild.

“Yes, an applicant came today. Go in and get some rest.”

“Support? Ah.. that guy back then.”

Park Pyo-hwan yawned and glanced at me.

Then he held out his hand to me.

“Thank you for coming to support me at such a late hour. A lot of annoying guys will come when I’m not around. Please protect her.”

I don’t know what I’m doing, but I straightened his hand.

It was clear that everything was for Seo Ha-rin.

“No need to worry.”

“Then.. I will sleep a little..”

Just like that, Gilma Park Pyo-hwan went out through the door I came through.

“Please sit down.”

“Yes.”

When Gilma left, I went and sat down on a shabby chair.

“But.. what are you doing here?”

“We are recruiting cross guild members here.”

“Not at the guild house?”

“The guild wasn’t working, so I turned off the entire house.”

“Ah..”

Seo Ha-rin’s words reminded me of a guild house with the lights off.

I guess the guild stopped working because there were no guild members, so all electricity and other maintenance costs stopped.

“So, I set up an office here, which is relatively cheap, and am gathering hunters.”

Perhaps because they have been hit hard, they seem to be trying to save as little as possible to prevent spending.

“Are there no guild members left?”

“The remaining Class B… Class C… There are about 160 promising players… The guild’s financial situation is currently in an emergency, so they are all at the gate.”

“Ah..that’s why you asked me for support.”

After looking around the three guilds, it seemed like Cross Guild viewed me as an ordinary applicant.

“…That’s true, but I also want you to join our guild.”

It was my mistake.

I guess it’s hard to just see myself as an applicant.

Well, it was foolish for the guild not to encourage him to join when there was a multi-talented awakened person right in front of him.

“Sorry. I have no intention of joining a guild.”

“It’s a pity.. I’m sure it would get better publicity if you came in. There is also a possibility of a failed S-class gate…”

Seo Ha-rin seemed to have already known that I would refuse, but her expression barely changed.

“So… are you still collecting guild members?”

“That’s right. Gilma and I are working in two shifts and are continuously gathering applicants.”

“…”

As it was a serious accident, it was seen that people were struggling to avoid falling.

I think it looked a little pitiful.

“Then I…”

“You can protect me here with your horse.”

“You protect it?”

-bang!

Suddenly the office door opened and some gangster-looking people came in, chewing gum.

“What, where has that ruined street bastard gone?”

” Gilma went to rest. ”

“Oh really? So your sister is going to take her place?”

“That’s right? What brought you here?”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it! Give me the money! My money!”

As soon as the thugs came in, they shouted at them to hand over the money.

I heard that Cross Guild’s financial condition was not good, but I wondered if they had even touched black money.

“Didn’t you say that the money you lent was due until next year? Please wait.”

“I changed my mind. Bring back the money I gave you! Because I have some use too.”

“Dirty..”

“What? Look at this sister? hey! They lent me money and now they say it’s dirty, kids~”

“Kkeukkeuk.. You are such a badass older sister.”

“That’s right, you’re so rude~”

Just looking at the cancer, these gangsters looked like they were just here to cause chaos.

“Said clearly. I will pay it back by next year. So please go back.”

“I just suffered mental damage because I was told it was dirty. What should I do? I think there will be an additional fee~ Cross Guild Sister.”

“Hahaha!”

This is Seo Ha-rin, who was completely made fun of.

The big gangster who approaches Seo Ha-rin.

He said, gently touching her black hair with his dirty fingers.

“Sister. I think I can repay compensation for mental damage with this nice body, right? Isn’t that right, kids?”

“Of course, bro~”

I had no choice but to get up from my chair when I saw the thugs targeting her body.

“Don’t cross the line. Guys.”

“What are you again? Ah~ Are you an aspiring hunter who is receiving counseling here?”

The gangsters didn’t even know if I existed or not.

“Hey~ wannabe. Don’t join a guild like this. I’m telling you this as an older brother.”

“Why. It’s the second-ranked guild, so anyone would want to join it, right?”

“2nd place guild? Puhahaha! It’s because the power guild rankings aren’t tallied right now~ Cross guild will fly out of the top 10 next week, you idiot.”

“Hahahaha!”

“You may not know because you are an aspirant. Brother~”

For a gangster, he had quite a lot of information.

After listening to their words, I felt like I now understood why this situation arose.

Just looking at it, I saw that the cross guild was being kept in check by other guilds.

Cross Guild suffered a major blow. At this point, I was certain that the surrounding guilds had hired those thugs to bite their heads off.

At first, they might have laughed and told him to cheer up when they lent him money, but now that the situation at Cross Guild is getting worse, they may have changed their mind and opened up wounds.

‘It’s scary… the guild ecosystem.’

“If you let me know, don’t join here and get out of here. Or do you also want to see this sister’s body? Kkeukkeuk.”

I looked at the blue dragon floating in the air due to the gangsters’ unstoppable actions.

-Cheongryong, there are a lot of dirty guys. Wash it and send it out.

“Huh? hmm! Okay!”

Let’s tell Cheongryong what to do with blood sharing.

I immediately opened my arms.

Next, a water stream appeared in the center of the office.

“Oh! What..what is it!! Bubble..boob..! Whoop!”

The gangsters were trapped in a round water bubble and were kicked out the office door one by one.

So the office became quiet.

“For this kind of work, a volunteer was needed.”

“I won’t say no.”

Those thugs must come here several times a day.

The intention was to somehow disrupt the recruitment of guild members and bring down the Cross Guild.

“Who on earth does something like this?”

“It’s all below the 3rd place guild. Thank you more than that. As expected, Gilma had considerable skills.”

“That’s not important right now.”

“Don’t worry. Because I’m a hunter too. If you had come closer just now, I would have solved it.”

“…Yes.”

Seo Ha-rin seemed to have completely accepted this situation and sat down as if nothing had happened.

“How long do I have to do this?”

“We need to do this until 160 people grow to level A or higher… and about 70 new people join.”

“Is that as easy as it sounds? Even if I can’t do it, I think it will take several decades.”

“I can’t help it. Right now, we are not the 2nd place cross guild, but as the man said earlier, we will be a guild that falls outside the top 10 or even further down.”

Seo Ha-rin seemed to predict the future to some extent.

Even though anyone could see the future going to hell, she did not run away and sat here.

It seems like there are good memories and precious things about Cross Guild.

No matter how bad the situation was, he didn’t seem to give up.

Is it not for nothing that she is not a 5-star beauty?

Even when the world around her shakes, her heart is strong.

Even if a man falls apart, she must be a beautiful woman who will stand by his side and protect him till the end.

Not only did she have outstanding looks, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with her unyielding will once again.

“Is there no other way than to hire new employees?”

“Yes. If we clear the S-class dungeon that we failed in, the 70 people who disappeared might come back… Hehe… It’s just impossible. Only the ace members of our guild went in, and only Gilma and I came back alive. That method just doesn’t exist.”

“S-class gate clear..”

The point was that if the failed gate dungeon was cleared, Seo Ha-rin would no longer have to be bullied by these scum.

“Mr. Seo Ha-rin. If it is possible to clear a failed S-class dungeon… what can you do for me?”

“Yes? Heh… this is absolutely impossible. Because we, the 2nd place guild, failed.”

“If.. if it is possible.”

“If it were possible.. I would give everything I have.”

“Is that so..”

When Seo Ha-rin said that she could do anything, I couldn’t help but smile.

“Where is the failed S-class gate?”

“What do you do with that?”

“I will be careful if I have to go nearby. Haha.”

“I know right away when I get nearby. Because it is a border area, there is a dangerous fence nearby.”

“Aha. okay. It’s a dangerous fence.. Can I go to the bathroom for a moment?”

“…Yes. Well… it’s on the 1st floor, so come back.”

I laughed at her words, grabbed the office door handle, and left.

And then I immediately picked up the phone that Teacher Yera had given me.

“Yes, Teacher Yera. I heard there’s a danger fence around that S-class gate. Do you know where it is? yes yes. They asked for support because the fence was damaged and needed to be repaired. Ah… you’re sending me the location? I understand~”

I saw the map that Teacher Yera had sent me appear on the hologram phone.

“It’s pretty close, right? Is it over there?”

I passed the bathroom and headed towards the failed S-class gate.
