A small smoking room in one corner of the shelter.

Kim Ji-won, who went inside, took out a cigarette from a cigarette pack he had taken out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and thrust the cigarette pack towards me.

“No cigarettes, right?”

The way you talk as if you already know everything.

It’s fun.

“How can you be sure?”

Then she answered by pointing to the tip of her nose with her index finger.

“It doesn’t smell.”

“If it’s a smell… , Smell of cigarettes?”

Jiwon Kim nods lightly.

“People who smoke cigarettes regularly have a unique smell.”

“… aha.”

It looks like he has a pretty good sense of smell.

He takes out a cigarette from the cigarette pack she held out to him and puts it in his mouth.

Cheek!

“Here, lighter.”

The lighter he hands me after lighting my cigarette.

“That’s enough.”

How difficult is it to make a cigarette?

When I light a cigarette with a small flame at the tip of my finger, she looks at me in surprise.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“It’s a bit strange. “I heard that wizards really hate using magic for things like that.”

“There are people like that.”

In fact, it is not at the level that exists, but there are a lot of them.

Perhaps because it is a skill that prioritizes talent over effort, they treat magic as a sacred science and have an absurd sense of privilege, claiming that they are the chosen humans.

I call those guys idiots.

anyway.

That’s not what’s important now.

For the first time in a while, I look at Kim Ji-won standing across from me, exhaling thick cigarette smoke.

Feeling my gaze, she asks with a light smile.

“What do you think? How do you feel about it?”

“hmm… .”

It’s my impression.

Eyes that give off a moderately arrogant and moderately confident feeling.

Fascinating eyes that look like a haughty cat but sometimes leave room for room.

A high bridge of the nose and plump red lips that would seem difficult to conquer if it were a mountain.

In addition, she has a solid body that has been maintained through thorough management.

To sum this up in one word… .

“Luxury?”

When I say one word, she laughs.

“Ho ho ho! Am I a luxury product? Like the Chanelia sold at department stores?”

“That’s how it looks to me.”

That’s right, that luxury product.

It is sold in department stores, boasting that it was made by craftsmen, stitch by stitch.

“This is my first time being praised like that. thank you?”

But do you know what?

Even luxury goods have levels.

She is definitely a luxury product.

It’s a luxury product… , a luxury product that is not as high-class as you might think.

Why, isn’t there something like that?

It is a luxury product that everyone knows just by name, but the price itself is not that high.

So I thought, ‘Oh, I guess it’s worth having one too…’ ?’Something that makes you think.

In my opinion, Kim Ji-won is exactly that kind of woman.

Maybe that’s why he’s so in love with that woman.

I thought that if I did well and really tried, I could have it myself.

I listen to her words with a light smile, hiding my true feelings.

“I’m glad that you’re happy.”

No matter what I mean, as long as both parties feel good, that’s fine, right?

However, there is one thing that makes me curious.

“So I don’t quite understand.”

“What?”

“Why does a woman like Jiwon keep a middle-aged married man by her side?”

It’s true that she’s a luxury item worth aiming for at least once, but that doesn’t mean she’s a woman that just anyone can reach out to.

It would be a bit much for a middle-aged man, especially a married man with a wife, to suddenly reach out… .

For that to be possible, wouldn’t the man have to be a chaebol or a middle-aged man that even people in their 20s would fall in love with?

She smiled and answered this perhaps obvious question.

“Our relationship isn’t as deep as you think.”

Kim Ji-won, who had no luck, threw the remaining burnt butts into the trash can and continued.

“You know what? “The facilities within the shelter are also divided into levels.”

“I know.”

Shelters are equipped with various facilities to prepare for possible long-term situations.

The most representative of these is the accommodation, and surprisingly, the accommodation is divided into different levels.

“Women who run small bars are given Building D. “They crammed four people into a tiny room?”

Building D.

A 4-person room is assigned to the majority of people.

Even though 4 people can stay there, the room is not that big, and it is a very poor room with two bunk beds on either side of the small room.

A four-person room previously allocated during the hunter qualification exam.

It’s easier to understand if you think of it as being a little smaller and worse than that.

“Actually, the people living together were more of a problem than the facilities. “There were women who lived nearby, and they were all anxious because they couldn’t catch me.”

“… “Is there any special reason?”

“You know, there’s a reason.”

Kim Ji-won continued speaking with a confident smile.

“Because I’m a luxury product like you said? Ho Ho!”

“aha… .”

I can understand just by hearing that story.

Kim Ji-won is definitely a beauty that is hard to find in this area.

If a bar was run by a woman like that, wouldn’t all the men in the neighborhood drink there?

According to the scene Jeong-hee saw, it seems like he accepts a light touch without any problem.

The ladies probably don’t like that.

I don’t know, but probably half of them already see Kim Ji-won as my husband’s mistress.

“So, I went to Daewon Shin, who I was close to, and asked him to sleep with me.”

oh my… Okay, sir.

Another pretty girl asked me to sleep with her, so I gave up.

Maybe I was even picturing having passionate sex with her in my head at that time.

She continues speaking with a new cigarette in her mouth.

“what… “Unlike me, who only wanted to sleep, I think our Shin Daewon wanted something else as well.”

The most interesting topic of the story so far rises to the surface.

“So you did what you wanted?”

She smiles, curling one corner of her mouth.

“What do you think it was like?”

“Well… .”

Looking at the reaction, it looks like he will do it or not, but it is clear that he did not do it.

Honestly, this is unexpected.

It wouldn’t have been a bad idea if we had clearly crossed the line so that we could have a strong hand.

On the one hand, it’s disappointing, but the lust that has built up over the past few days is starting to show.

To be the first to touch and eat what others have been wanting to eat so much.

“Hmm… “Why are you laughing all of a sudden?”

ah.

I failed to manage my facial expressions.

In that case, we have no choice but to push forward a little more blatantly.

“I feel fortunate.”

“In what part?”

She smiles with a strange sensuality.

I already know everything, so there’s no reason to ask one more time.

“well.”

After finishing his cigarette, he walks closer and looks down at her.

Just as my eyes were filled with desire, her eyes looked no different.

Asurai’s eyes are filled with blooming heat.

“After work is done, let’s have a drink. The place is… “It would be nice to go to Jiwon’s store.”

The smile on her lips becomes even deeper as she can’t possibly be unaware of the true meaning behind my suggestion.

Other than that smile, no other answer was needed.

* * *

-I’m so glad nothing happened, you.

-Oh, I was worried! Don’t you think we’d be worried if something like this happened?!

Jeong-hee worries about her husband with a dry tone of voice.

And Shin Yu-jeong, who without fail reveals her personality to her father.

After reporting the man’s survival over the phone and parting ways, I called Manager Kim Seong-tae, who was down in Haenam for operations and accident area management.

There is only one business.

“Please leave me out of the team composition.”

-… Are you saying that you will pursue a solo career?

“you’re right.”

To release the shackles that are on me.

-I know Dojin’s abilities are outstanding, but Kraken Jr. is not an easy opponent.

As expected, Seongtae Kim roundly rejected my offer.

Well, it makes sense.

It wouldn’t be a problem to accept that the wizard said he would act alone without any vanguard.

“Boss.”

-Tell me.

It’s okay though.

Because I know how to open his heart.

“Have I ever lied to my manager or failed to live up to his expectations?”

-… … .

That one word was enough.

-Let’s take action like that.

“Thank you, Manager.”

I didn’t forget to say thank you to him, who always pretended not to be able to win and accepted my suggestions.

Then we had lunch.

“Dojin, try this too! “Isn’t it so delicious?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Originally, I was going to eat alone, but before lunch time, Juyeon called and asked me to eat together.

“Aunt, Dojin is feeling burdened.”

“Oh my, did you… ?”

“… no.”

As soon as she heard my answer, Son Seo-yeon glared at me with a betrayed expression.

no… How can I talk to you when you look at me like that with tears in your eyes?

At the end of lunch, the team composition was finally announced.

There are as many as 50 teams made up of one A-level member and three B-level members.

Among them, my name is the only one left there.

“He is a man who is sure to get things done.”

It’s not a decent opponent, and when dealing with Kraken Jr., it’s better to go alone.

I trusted these strange guys as team members for no reason, but I never knew when I might face a crisis.

I also don’t want to waste my time and magic trying to save those guys.

Since the strategy starts at dawn, I sit in the corner of the room and continue to meditate to control my condition.

Ding dong!

The cheerful ringtone that echoes throughout the room suddenly awakens the deeply sunken mind.

“… Who is it.”

Is there anyone in particular who will come?

I went straight to the front door, opened the door, and saw a familiar face standing there.

“How did you end up here… .”

The person who came was none other than Son Seo-yeon.

“ask… “I have one thing to do.”

Seeing how difficult it is to say it, it doesn’t seem like it’s an easy request.

“What is it?”

When I asked out of curiosity, she forced her eyes that were trying to turn downward and parted her lips.

“… “Can I go to battle with you tomorrow?”

Ah, me again.

I asked you to ask me something, and that was it?

I was surprised because I thought it was a very important request.

I gave him the answer with a wide smile and a relieved expression.

“no.”

And then it closed right away.

thud!

You suck.

You’re saying something that doesn’t even make sense.
