episode_0337

Unlike regular companies where you can resign as much as you want, the Hunter Guild’s resignation process is just as strict as the joining process.

The reason is simple.

Hunter guilds earn income through the activities of their guild members.

In other words, the guild members themselves are the guild’s money maker.

Is there any way for interest groups to allow such money to be freely spent?

So, when a guild accepts a guild member, they write a contract.

Detailed conditions such as down payment, annual salary, contract period, etc. are listed.

Even if you decide to change jobs due to a scout from another guild, you can work for the minimum contract period and then leave.

If you don’t like that, you can charge a penalty equivalent to the remaining period.

“Oh, I see. “There was a contract.”

“… … .”

The look on his face as if he had finally realized it made me feel a little dizzy.

When will this guy become an adult?

My body has grown, but I am doing exactly the same things I did when I was young, so I am very worried.

Where can I go and not get scammed by others?

I looked at him with a pity look without knowing it, and the guy frowned when he saw this.

“I think the look in your eyes was very unpleasant.”

A sullen voice that only comes out when slightly upset.

“You must have seen it wrong.”

As I quickly adjusted my gaze and let go of the pretense, Sia looked away and said, ‘Hmph.’

It’s a sign to do well because they’ll look at it once.

If you make them feel a little worse or make fun of them, they will enter stage 2.

I need to slowly make myself feel better again.

Once it enters stage 2, it becomes a bit more difficult to release it.

“Would you like another cup of coffee?”

“… Come on.”

A guy holding out an empty paper cup with a sulky voice.

Like this, stage 1 can be easily relieved with just a cup of coffee.

How do I solve step 2?

One small wish must be granted.

Things you can listen to, but it takes a lot of time and is annoying.

It’s better to let them go now than to regret it later.

As I hand over a freshly brewed cup of coffee, I put into words a question that suddenly occurred to me.

“But why did you submit the withdrawal letter? “The princess is a party member directly under the guild leader, made up of only the elite members of the guild.”

No matter how much I am a national hunter, I do not conquer dungeons alone.

Therefore, within a guild, there is a party directly under the guild leader.

Tanks, ranged dealers, detection classes, etc.

These are people who boast unparalleled skills and are fully capable of supporting S-class hunters.

Si-Ah Jeong in front of you is one of them.

The position is debuffer.

The binding caused by its characteristic ‘tyrant gaze’ is more powerful than any other CC technique.

In the end, what does that mean?

Sia Jeong is an elite guild member who is treated as a core force within the guild, and this means that she is treated at a different level from other guild members.

So I’m even more curious.

I wonder why I was so dissatisfied with the guild that treated me well without any shortcomings that I even threw in my resignation letter.

“Umm… “Why?”

Jeong Si-ah swallows her voice and makes a depressed expression.

The guy opens his mouth.

“Everything I say from now on is confidential, so only you should know it.”

It’s confidential… .

What on earth is this about that guy even says the word confidential?

Since there’s no one to talk about anyway, I’ll just listen to it first.

“Yes, I will.”

I nodded and answered, and the guy continued speaking in a much more relaxed mood.

“Currently, the guild leader is preparing to return.”

“If it’s a return… , to resume hunter activities… ?”

“yes.”

I was a little surprised, but it ended there.

I was thinking that the time had come.

A break that continues beyond the previously announced sabbatical year.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he has no choice but to slowly make a comeback.

The association and the government will be frantically asking you when you will return.

Even Han Joo-hee is probably one of the people stabbing him in the side.

According to the article, she handled several major cases that were originally supposed to be handled by Son Si-woo.

Due to her recent tendency to focus more on research than on hunter activities, she may have pecked at her husband a few times because she felt that her research time was being interrupted.

The guy continues.

“But in the process, a fake guy arbitrarily brought people into the guild.”

I think I know who it is.

Four paladins given away by a priest of a pseudo-religion from the upper floors, telling them to use them as limbs.

“They even said that they wouldn’t just use you as a guild member, but as a party member directly under the guild leader!”

“ah.”

Jeong Si-ah crumples the paper cup she has finished drinking in indignation.

I have a rough idea of what he wants in my head.

There is a high probability that he is still not handling my body properly.

If you want to use it even a little, you have to put in some effort, but you’re the type of person who lives alone with those types of people.

In the meantime, the association, the government, and even his wife are stabbing him in the side, asking when he will return.

To overcome this problem, he received four paladins from a priest of a cult.

The reason is obvious.

“They’re probably going to have us conquer the dungeon instead so we don’t get caught for being fake, huh!”

Sia shouts loudly.

It’s just as he said.

Son Si-woo brought a paladin into the guild to prevent his incompetence from being discovered.

The purpose of using it is, of course, to make it a direct party member.

They go into the dungeon together, but they leave all the strategy to them and just suck their fingers.

Then, after finishing the strategy, he comes out and cleans his mouth as if he did it all.

I can roughly understand the picture he drew, but there is one part I don’t understand.

“Did the other guild members just accept it?”

“Of course not!”

The guy shouts in an even more indignant voice.

But even for a moment.

“But it wasn’t accepted… .”

Sia, who spoke in a depressed voice, sighed deeply.

“This whole situation is frustrating. The fake guy is getting more and more active, and other people don’t believe what the real princess says… , what are you going to do with me? .”

hmm… .

Regardless of the good treatment, the guild members do not take what he says at face value.

There must have been a time or two when he told absurd stories, such as saying that he was a tyrant in his past life.

Moreover, the guild leader who shows up every day with a fingerprint and iris recognition stamp for attendance is saying that it is fake, but it is not easy to believe that unless you know it in advance like me.

My heart understands.

How frustrating it must be to know that the guild leader is a fake and the other guild members don’t even believe him.

“So you made up a resignation letter and threw it away?”

I made it myself because it wasn’t even in the in-house form.

Sia shakes her head helplessly.

I suddenly became curious.

“Have you thought about what you will do with your life after you leave?”

I thought for sure there wouldn’t be one.

“there is.”

“… oh.”

There is.

What on earth?

As my curiosity grew, the guy opened his mouth again.

“We will find the real guild leader.”

“… … .”

As I said before, Si-ah Jeong does not say empty words unless she has no choice but to do so.

There is no reason to lie in this situation, so what I said is 100% sincere… .

“Do you know where you are?”

“Well, I haven’t thought about that yet.”

A guy who talks in a very serious tone.

“But you will find it somehow.”

A determined look in his eyes that tells him he will definitely find it.

However, on the contrary, the words that followed were filled with deep sorrow.

“The guild leader… , because you are my only family… .”

“… … .”

It’s family.

Sia Jeong has no family.

I heard that, like me, he was not abandoned at birth, but lost his parents to a monster that escaped from a crack when he was in his first year of middle school.

The only relative I have is an aunt who lives far away in America.

The fourteen-year-old girl was left alone overnight as she was unable to contact her, and has been living alone for a little over a year since then.

… Until you met me.

“You are the only person who came to me when I was isolated and swayed by an uncontrollable force.”

Even the tone of speech changed.

An ordinary appearance that pops up every once in a while when things get really serious.

“So I will find it. No matter how much money and time it costs… , certainly.”

A serene energy fluttering within the black eyes.

It seemed closer to a sticky obsession than a solid will.

Something far away that has become entangled and entangled with each other like glue and can no longer be separated.

“I will never lose it again.”

“… … .”

I don’t know what that thing really is: a wound.

A twisted emotion or ego made up of unhealed wounds.

I realize it again.

That Sia cared for me more than just any family member.

On the other hand, I was just thinking positively.

Now that they’re all grown up, I think they can live just fine without me.

But that was an illusion.

He won’t stop until he finds me.

Until the day I take my last breath.

I can’t just watch it.

So I guess I’ll just have to tell him.

That I should let go.

“Mr. Sia.”

A guy who frowns when his name is suddenly called.

“Uh huh, how could I name the princess I saw so cruelly…?” .”

One guy’s words didn’t last until the end.

This is why I was unable to continue speaking while maintaining the concept intact due to my extremely serious attitude.

I open my mouth again to the guy who looks slightly embarrassed.

“I’ll help you find the real guild leader.”

I decided to reveal my identity to this guy.

But that is not the case now.

Now that there is a no-disclosure clause in place, nothing can be said truthfully.

So I guess I’ll just have to keep it by my side for now.

Keep them by your side so that you don’t waste time and money on useless things, and comfort them appropriately.

“… “Really?”

The guy looks up at me with wide eyes.

Currently, I am the only person who understands him.

The only person who fully believed the guild leader’s words that he was fake and understood his feelings.

“In return, I have a favor to ask.”

“Please… , what was that… ?”

He spreads one index finger and continues speaking.

“First, you will not leave your current guild for the remainder of your contract.”

As I recall, the remaining period of Sia’s contract is approximately one year.

If you decide to withdraw from here, you will have to pay a penalty, but the salary and down payment are so high that paying a year’s penalty will hurt your bank account.

That’s a bit much too.

At my first condition, the guy shakes his head with a shocked expression.

“What… “As long as he’s a fake, there won’t be much activity, so it won’t be that difficult.”

I extend one more finger towards the guy who accepted it without difficulty.

“The second is to join the guild I created after the contract period ends.”

As if surprised by my words, Sia’s eyes widen a little.

“What… ! Are you really going to create your own guild? ?”

“yes.”

Creation of a guild.

To be honest, it’s something I thought about several times and then gave up.

Having experienced once how difficult it was, I didn’t want to do it again, but recently I changed my mind.

“I plan to create my own guild. Filled with only my own people.”

The operation method is a small number of elites.

I will create a guild made up of only those who are inextricably linked to me in some way.

A comfortable guild where you can never betray and can easily have each other’s backs.

And at the same time, a guild that has stronger military power than any other guild.

The guy who heard this asked me with a strange smile on his face.

“Ho… “Do you mean that you will soon make this princess yours, or something like that?”

It’s funny.

You’re already mine, man.

He nods his head, hiding his true feelings as he looks at him as if he is laughing.

“That would be nice, but… , I have no intention of holding you by force. “If you want to find the real guild leader and leave together, then I will let you go without any hesitation.”

This is a conciliatory measure to soften the heart of a hard guy.

In fact, there are no restrictions on me, so it’s like seducing me by holding and waving a free carrot I picked up on the street.

And that temptation seems to have worked quite well.

“Umm… Well, if that’s the case, it might definitely be okay… .”

The guy’s gaze glances down at the paper cup crushed in my hand.

Maybe in your head, you’re thinking, ‘I brew coffee well, so maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stay for a while…’ ?’ I wonder if he is thinking something like that.

Meanwhile, the guy who raised his head asked me.

“Hmm… ! Well, do you have a guild name in mind? If you like it, you can think about it… ?”

“There is.”

Fortunately, there is.

The name I decided on after thinking about it for a few days.

“Ansimhoe (安心會). how is it?”

It means a gathering of people to have or have a comfortable mind.

How many days did you think about building this?

When I looked at him with confident eyes, thinking that nothing could be better than this in the name of the guild, he glared at me with a murderous expression, as if he had met an enemy of Cheolcheonji, and shot at me.

“If possible, don’t do anything like naming things. “It seems like you have a knack for making people who listen to you angry.”

“… … .”

It was very harshly criticized.
