Chapter Index

    The time was two days ago.

    The day when the guild candidates, excluding Han Joo-yeon, sat together in the club room.

    “Let’s decide on a guild name.”

    With Shin Yu-jeong’s words, a meeting to decide on the name of the guild that would become their signboard began.

    “Isn’t that usually decided by the guild leader himself…? ?”

    A very common sense tackle from Na-eun Lim.

    Shin Yu-jeong then responded by pointing with her chin at Kim Do-jin, who was pouting his lips with a dissatisfied expression.

    “This guy has terrible naming sense. No, it’s so devastating that even words can’t describe it!”

    “Ah, yes, I see… .”

    Lim Na-eun hastily retreats due to her subversive spirit.

    As a result, the meeting began, with or without a grumpy look on Kim Do-jin’s face.

    “Tell me just one name that looks good to everyone.”

    The first to raise her hand was Elena.

    “What do you think, Valhalla?!”

    Judging by the way he answered as if he had been waiting, it seems that it was a word he had in mind in some way.

    A pretty good name.

    Shin Yu-jeong immediately typed ‘Valhalla’ into the smartphone search bar and touched the search button.

    “Ah, it’s the name of a guild that already exists.”

    “Ah, ah… .”

    Elena sits down sullenly.

    “Is there any other name?”

    In response to her question again, this time Lim Na-eun carefully raises her hand.

    “What about Mir… ? “It means dragon in pure Korean.”

    “there is.”

    “Miriena?!”

    “That too.”

    “Wow, there are that many guilds in our country?!”

    “There are a lot. 90% of them will disappear soon, but they are still in use now.”

    The guild, which was founded with youthful enthusiasm and dreams of success, soon disappears without a sound or rumor.

    This is because the taste of the guild, which was founded by people who have to taste shit or soybean paste to know whether it is poop or soybean paste, mostly tastes like poop.

    There is a lot more to do than I thought, and there is nothing to enjoy about it.

    Those who are despaired by this take a step back and return to their original positions before they despair even more.

    Into the arms of a large guild that has succeeded despite experiencing the taste of shit over and over again.

    When all the exciting names disappeared, Lim Na-eun asked with a depressed expression.

    “Yujeong, you have something in mind… ?”

    “Of course there is.”

    Shin Yu-jeong answers confidently.

    As everyone looked on with expectant expressions, she continued.

    “harem.”

    “uh… … ?”

    harem.

    Although the actual meaning is different, it is a word that commonly refers to a man having relationships with multiple women.

    Shin Yu-jeong smiles sinisterly and stabs Kim Do-jin, who is sitting with a sullen expression, in the side.

    “Isn’t this really a harem? huh? There are a lot of pretty girls like us, and the man is on his own. is not it? huh?”

    “No matter what, it’s a bit of a guild name, isn’t it… ?”

    “I think so too, Yujeong.”

    “I don’t really feel like it either… .”

    Na-eun Lim, Elena, and Seo-yeon Son, in that order, objected.

    Shin Yu-jeong quenched his appetite.

    “Tsk… , okay?”

    So close.

    But she also knows the truth.

    The word harem is not a very appropriate word to use as a guild name.

    The surprising fact here is that the word was chosen with full knowledge of it.

    ‘Tch… , it was a chance to drop all those foxy bitches.’

    I was afraid that if I used this name, female guild members would not even dare to join.

    Just by looking at it, the name seems to suggest that the guild leader Kim Do-jin and the women who were early guild members were involved in inappropriate relationships.

    Still, isn’t the guild name too embarrassing?

    It’s been a long time since I gave up on such embarrassment.

    Even my own mother lives in fear that she might become a competitor, so is being embarrassed by the guild’s name a big deal?

    ‘… It’s still unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.’

    Soon she gave up.

    All of the guild members are against it, so I can’t push it alone.

    Afterwards, Elena and Lim Na-eun tried several good names, but they were all in vain.

    “It’s all there, it’s all there.”

    This is because all names that seemed plausible were being used as guild names.

    One by one, I was getting tired of the feeling that I was dealing with an impregnable castle that I couldn’t break through no matter how hard I tried.

    Son Seo-yeon, who was quietly watching the heated meeting between the three people, raised her hand.

    “I thought of something.”

    “Oh, what is it?”

    Everyone’s attention was focused on her mouth, which rarely asserted itself.

    In addition to the three people who were slightly exhausted, Kim Do-jin.

    In response, she muttered softly.

    “Dusk… , how is it?”

    The reactions of those who heard this were divided into two.

    There is one person with a hard face as if they don’t like something, and three people shaking their heads with a good feeling, mulling over the name Twilight.

    “Dusk… “It’s not bad, is it?”

    Shin Yu-jeong, who was one of the latter, immediately entered the name into the search box and smiled brightly.

    “Wow, not even there!”

    There is no guild name called Twilight.

    That means they can use it as their guild name if they want.

    Elena, who liked the feeling the word gave, asked.

    “however… , What does twilight mean?”

    The person who answered her question was not Shin Yu-jeong or Son Seo-yeon, but Kim Do-jin, whose face was frozen.

    “… Dusk.”

    After instantly understanding her with the English word meaning twilight, his eyes turn to Son Seo-yeon.

    “Sir Seoyeon.”

    “huh.”

    “That word… “It may be controversial.”

    Then Son Seo-yeon laughs bitterly.

    “also… , I guess so.”

    Shin Yu-jeong, who was watching the conversation on the phone between the two, asked with a puzzled expression.

    “What, what is it? Why is there controversy if I use the name Twilight?”

    “Twilight means the dim light as the sun sets.”

    “however?”

    “the problem is… “There already exists a guild with a name that has a meaning quite opposite to that of twilight.”

    “Contrary… , meaning?”

    Even though I threw it all the way here, you still don’t know… .

    Kim Do-jin, who laughed bitterly, added an explanation.

    “A faint light as the day dawns.”

    A word that means when the day is dawning, unlike twilight, which means when the day is setting.

    “Dawn.”

    “… … !”

    “ah… !”

    As soon as the words come out, Shin Yu-jeong’s eyes widen as if torn, and Lim Na-eun sighs.

    Dawn.

    The power of that word was that great.

    because.

    “oh… “Isn’t Dawn the guild led by Hunter Son Si-woo?”

    The answer can be found in Elena’s words, which she answers purely without knowing anything.

    Siwoo Son.

    This is because it is the name of the No. 1 ranked guild led by Korea’s best hunter and national hunter.

    What does that mean?

    “The word twilight is likely to be seen as a declaration of war or a sniping that they will end their era and we will take their place.”

    The reason why Kim Do-jin stiffened his face and opposed it was precisely because of this intention.

    “no way… “But isn’t that too much of an overinterpretation?”

    However, it can be said that it is too much of a leap to explain it with just one word.

    however.

    “It’s not a leap. At least to reporters.”

    For reporters thirsty for scoops, this was not an excessive leap at all.

    Even if it doesn’t mean that, so what?

    It is not for nothing that they say that if you wear something on your ear, it is an earring, and if you wear it on your nose, it is a nose ring.

    If they say they wrote the article because it was read that way, what more can they say to it?

    “ah… … .”

    Shin Yu-jeong quickly understood.

    After becoming a hunter, she also had a rough idea of what people with a job as a reporter were like.

    Her eyes turned to Son Seo-yeon.

    “senior… , I really meant it that way… , isn’t it?”

    Son Seo-yeon smiled and shook her head, looking a little suspicious.

    “Of course not.”

    Dusk.

    The reason I embraced and said those words was not to surpass my father.

    “Long ago… “My dad said that when the guild was first created.”

    As a child, she asked:

    Why did you name your guild Dawn?

    Now that I’m an adult, I think back and my dad answered that way with a slightly bitter smile.

    -It wasn’t because I wanted to, but… , this dad became the light that shines on the Republic of Korea.

    It was for that reason that the guild was named Dawn.

    As the name Dawn suggests, it is meant to become a light that opens the world.

    Until the danger lurking in this world disappears.

    If not, until a new light of hope emerges after him.

    “Until then, the Dawn Guild will remain a light of hope.”

    At that time, she said this while being held in her father’s trustworthy arms.

    -Then I will follow in my father’s footsteps! I am my father’s daughter, so what I do is right!

    I wanted to become a new dawn.

    But I realized it after I grew up.

    That I cannot become Dawn.

    In order for a new light to emerge, that light must set, pass through the darkness, and rise again.

    So she changed her goal.

    “Twilight comes after dawn… , I want to keep that time.”

    From the darkness that inevitably comes when the light subsides.

    “Until the day the light rises again.”

    At the end of Son Seo-yeon’s gaze as she said that, there was only one person, Kim Do-jin.

    The new light of hope is you.

    Her clear eyes were telling him that.
