A cozy meal for a family of four sitting huddled together at a large table.

Eunbi Kim was looking down at her smartphone while eating or drinking with a gloomy expression.

‘The reply is late again today… .’

What appears on the smartphone screen is a chat room with Kim Do-jin.

The number 1 written next to the message sent in the afternoon is still not gone even in the evening.

“ha.”

A sigh from a frustrated heart.

A small spark was sparking in Kim Jeong-hoon’s eyes as he looked at her like that.

Cursing words pouring out as they burn.

‘pup.’

Of course, these words were not directed at her.

Kim Do-jin is the main culprit who makes my sister sigh.

The bastard was exactly what they referred to.

‘I dare say my sister to an orphaned child without parents… !’

I don’t like everything.

He became arrogant just because his face changed, and he even tried to target my older sister.

Even not being contacted on time about such a topic.

My personality makes me want to beat them to death like in the past, but I can’t even do that anymore.

I barely manage to use chopsticks with trembling hands.

“… … .”

“Huh.”

If their daughter and son, who are part of their family, are doing something like that, what parent wouldn’t notice this?

“You, Jeonghoon.”

Kim Yong-un, the head of the family, who was sitting at the head table and looking around at the faces of his family, called his son in a solemn voice.

Kim Jeong-hoon suddenly wakes up from his thoughts and raises his head.

“yes? “Yes, father.”

“Are you worried about something? “Your face doesn’t look very good.”

“uh… , no. “What are your concerns?”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Kim Yong-un takes a step back.

It’s a face that looks worried to anyone who sees it, but what can you do if you say it’s not you?

When I turned my head to the side, I saw my wife, Anjuri, asking something to my daughter.

“My daughter, do you have no appetite? “The food is not decreasing.”

“Uh, no. just… .”

“Oh my, is it because of that boy you talked about last time?”

“Ah, mom!”

“Why why, what’s going on? huh? “Tell your mom.”

“… … .”

Kim Yong-un’s face hardened as he listened to the mother and daughter’s conversation.

If possible, it’s because the story I didn’t want to hear for 10 years was finally heard.

‘My daughter… , Are you feeling upset because of a man?’

Kim Yong-un clenches his fist while holding chopsticks.

I let my guard down.

Even when I turned 20, I was relieved that I didn’t show the slightest interest in men, but who would have guessed that a bug would have caught me in the meantime!

‘It’s a mistake. What kind of daughter is my daughter? !’

Considering my daughter’s appearance, I shouldn’t have been nervous for even a single moment.

‘I can’t leave it like this.’

I know that I can’t leave you alone forever.

So, as a second best option, I want to have the coolest guy in the world by my side.

A man who will reliably protect you even if he dies and will not let a drop of water get on his hands.

“daughter… “Have you found a man?”

When Kim Eun-bi started to express her disappointment, she blushed and shook her head.

“Oh, not yet… “It’s good.”

yet.

Not yet.

Isn’t this a word that leaves wide open the possibility of future relationship development?

“If not yet… , which means it might happen soon, right?”

Anju-ri pinches her words with a mischievous smile.

“Oh, mom.”

Kim Eun-bi is holding on to her mother’s arm and yelling at her.

Even though I picture a happy smile at that sight, I feel angry when I think of having to share that image with another gnome.

“Whoa.”

Kim Yong-un takes a deep breath and calms his emotions.

He asked in a calmer tone.

“Can you tell me what kind of guy he is?”

“Uh, that’s it.”

As she twisted her body and hesitated to answer, Anju-ri struck again.

“He’s younger.” I even heard that Jeonghoon is a high school classmate and is really popular these days. What was his name? Kim, Kim… .”

As I stumbled over my thoughts, my name was mentioned in a quiet voice next to me.

“… Kim Do-jin.”

“Oh, right! “It’s Kim Do-jin, honey.”

Kim Yong-un is lost in thought as soon as he hears his name.

Kim Do-jin.

‘It’s a name I’ve heard of before.’

He is also a businessman with one foot in the hunter community.

Naturally, we closely check how the industry is going, so the name Kim Do-jin was one of the names that always appeared in recent news reports.

“Kim Do-jin… “Eunbi, is the man you like Kim Do-jin, who is recently considered a promising star?”

“… “Yes, Dad.”

Eunbi Kim nods with a shy face.

“haha.”

I was wondering what kind of cocky bastard he was, and it turned out to be Kim Do-jin.

Information known to the public about him flashes in my mind.

The youngest B-class hunter at the age of 21, and a man who is likely to take the record as the youngest A-class hunter soon after.

‘Family… ‘Did you say there wasn’t one?’

There was a scandal with Han Joo-yeon, who was recently promoted to S-class, but it turned out not to be the case.

“Hmm.”

In terms of ability alone, he is a flawless man.

No, it goes beyond being flawless and should be seen as overwhelming compared to anyone of similar age.

I think he might not be as bad a son-in-law as I thought.

It was not because of outstanding ability.

Rather, the fact that he was an orphan with no family sounded even more attractive to Kim Yong-un.

‘What if I hire him as my son-in-law?’

If he were a child with parents, they would have stubbornly rejected it, but isn’t it a good thing for him as an orphan?

They will be able to feel the family affection that they have never felt before.

Plus, he can never be separated from his precious daughter, so he really kills two birds with one stone.

“Hahaha! Yes, that could happen! Uh-huh-huh!”

I can’t help but laugh.

Not only can I get a talented son-in-law, but I can also avoid being separated from my daughter.

His laughter suddenly stops and his eyes turn to his daughter.

“When are you going to date that friend? “I wish I could bring you home sometime.”

“Ah, Dad!”

I no longer get angry when I see my daughter blushing when she thinks of another man.

What is it like?

Soon you will be like my own child.

“Oh, we’re not in that situation yet. I’m so busy these days that I can’t even see you often… .”

Kim Eun-bi has a sullen expression.

“You’re busy so you can’t meet? hmm… , That friend is definitely popular these days.”

Since he is so active that he appears in the newspaper every day, he is bound to be busy.

I don’t really like the idea of putting work before my daughter, but it’s also disgusting for a man to be wrapped in a woman’s skirt.

‘If you’re a big manager, there have to be times when you put work first, Am.’

Still young men and women.

In order to make the relationship between the two a fait accompli, it is necessary to further increase contact points from now on.

‘What method is best?’

Should I use it as an advertising model for my company?

‘No, no. ‘It only increases the number of contacts with the company.’

What he wants is a connection with his family.

In order to do that… .

“Oh yeah. “How about letting that friend tutor Jeonghoon?”

Only then did Anjuri understand her husband’s intentions and lightly clapped her hands in agreement.

“Oh my, wouldn’t that be nice? Eunbi, what do you think?”

“What’s wrong with you, Dad and Mom, really?”

As she twisted her body and scolded her parents, a faint smile that she could not hide was drawn on her face.

I guess it looks good.

She was so angry that she carefully opened her mouth and spoke.

“Okay, if possible, please let me take care of my performance, Dad…” .”

“Uh-huh! Yeah, sure. Let’s see… , Then, if you entrust tutoring as a designated request… ?”

Kim Yong-un is smiling and muttering to himself.

Kim Jeong-hoon, who had been watching this in a daze, was so startled that he got up from his seat.

“Ah, father! My doctor… !”

“Are you saying you don’t want to do it now?”

“… Well, that’s not it.”

“Then that’s it.”

Kim Jeong-hoon’s opinion was ignored by his father, who was immersed in a happy future.

* * *

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“What trouble is there! “Hunter Kim Do-jin caught every monster that appeared.”

“Next time you need a lineman, please contact me anytime!”

After finishing the B+ level dungeon raid with people I didn’t really notice, I check my smartphone.

Messages filled the chat room.

“I’ve only read it for a few hours, is this correct?”

Why do women have so much to say?

No, there isn’t much to say.

Just what happened today, what else did I do, what did I do, etc.

Most of the things you talk about your day and are curious about.

I am dizzy from the flood of messages I have experienced for the first time in my life.

“Is this the life of a popular man…? .”

It’s not about getting excited by looking at the accumulated messages.

What’s surprising is that they don’t leave even if you don’t reply very sincerely.

“Let me see.”

We checked the number of dungeon raids through the app ‘Hunters’ produced by the Hunter Association.

[Number of dungeons conquered below grade D: 38]

[Number of C-level dungeons conquered: 45 times]

[Number of B-class dungeons conquered: 25 times]

For a new B-class hunter, the number of attacks is quite high.

But it is not a big deal.

Since these types of dungeons are widespread, it is not a problem to increase the number of them if you have enough time.

The part to pay attention to is at the very bottom.

[Disaster level monster subjugation: 1 time]

“Wow, this is it.”

A line added in recognition of the contribution to the Kraken strategy.

Although all the hunters who participated in the strategy were recognized, they did not receive a line like the above.

The only people who received this were the S-class hunters who entered Kraken’s body and me.

“This is why a scandal breaks out.”

The power of this one line is enormous.

You can earn a lot of points needed for a promotion, and you can write them down on your resume.

As it is a line that will be used in many ways in the hunter industry, it is known that Hunter Jooyeon Han personally set me up, so it is not unreasonable to misunderstand that the two are dating.

“I think I’ll be able to move up to A-level soon… .”

I was busy accumulating the number of dungeon raids, and added to this was my history of subjugating disaster-level monsters.

Awareness is already at the highest level among Class B… , it would not be strange to be eligible to take the A-level promotion exam right away.

I want to move up as quickly as possible.

“Should I ask Mr. Jian?”

It was time to find her number to roughly ask how much was left.

Jiying-

“what.”

I got a call from her first.

Immediately press the call button and bring the receiver to your ear.

“Mr. Jian? “I was already going to call you.”

-yes? ah… , I guess it worked. I’m happy with that… , no, it’s not this.

It’s cute.

“What did you call me about? “I just want to see you?”

-that… That’s true, but I have something to tell you.

“What is it?”

-A designated request has been received from Mr. Dojin.

“Specified request?”

-yes.

It’s a designated request.

“You came in at an unexpected time.”

A designated request literally refers to a request that pinpoints a hunter who would like to listen to my request.

Most of the content is so difficult that it should be level A, but it is only rated level B.

What on earth do you want?

“What is the request?”

-Tutoring for aspiring hunters… I would like you to do this.

“… “Tutoring?”

-yes.

Tutoring.

An industry that has recently emerged as one of the trends in the hunter industry.

That’s why it’s even more surprising.

That industry must be dominated by retired veterans of Grade A or above.

“What about compensation?”

-Once a week, three hours each. The remuneration is 10 million won per episode.

“Wow… “It’s really strong?”

-Iknow, right. This is the highest level in the industry.

You entrust tutoring to a very young guy, and on top of that, you pay 10 million won per session, which is the highest level in the industry.

It smells a bit foul.

The real purpose may not be tutoring, but Kim Do-jin himself.

“So who is the client who requested tutoring?”

-The client is Yongun Kim.

“Kim Yong-un… ?”

Maybe I heard it somewhere, maybe not.

Since I don’t remember clearly, I guess it’s either an unimportant person or a name I’ve never heard before.

Ji-an Yoon’s further explanation continued.

-I am the president of ‘Eunbit,’ a company whose main business is processing monster by-products.

“argent… ?”

what.

If it’s silver… , it’s the name of the company run by Kim Eun-bi’s father.

That means the client, Kim Yong-un, is Kim Eun-bi’s father.

The subject of tutoring that I have to teach… , the only son in that house is Kim Jeong-hoon?

If this is the case, there is nothing to worry about deeply.

“I will accept that request.”

My dry mouth began to water.
