Chapter 100: Too popular (5)
At the sudden answer, the bride-to-be made a bewildered expression on her face and thought whether she had guessed something or not.
And she looked at Kang Yoo-sik with a serious expression to see if he had been properly organized.
"Can I hear the reason?"
"In the last five years, there will be facilities that Sumi and the guild have built-in collaboration with companies. Under those facilities, hideouts created in cooperation with the revelation of the Fallen are hidden."
A story that is too specific to simply say it was built. There is confidence in Kang Yoo-sik's eyes as he spoke.
At that answer, the goddess looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Is it okay if I ask how you got to know me?"
Kang Yu-sik pondered for a moment at the new question and then answered.
"It's a whistleblower."
"A whistleblower!!"
"Yeah. It's a little difficult to say more than that. It's dangerous if you get attention from the revelations of Tacheon."
The new woman, who understood Kang Yu-sik's meaning, nodded her head.
"Okay. I'll have to investigate Sumiwa as soon as I get back. The promised reward is…"
"Oh, you can give it to me after the work is done."
"·Thank you."
Kang Yu-sik gave a nice smile to the bride-to-be with his head slightly bowed.
"If you need any other help, please feel free to contact me. I will do anything I can to help."
“I will remember.”
The bride-to-be, nodding her head, went back into the venue, and Kang Yu-sik, who saw the back, looked at the amulet in her hand.
"It's not bad enough," he said.
“If you are lucky, debt may arise as this case is resolved, and even if there is no such thing, there will be a relationship of trust to some extent, so it can be a stepping stone for a future meeting. I remember the enchantment now. By the way, the bride and groom are the enchanters… Then it's not that I don't understand what happened before the return."
Perhaps the Japanese government and guilds have known this for a long time, and it is clear that they imprisoned the goddess in a shrine to monopolize that power and used it only by themselves. If there was one question, it is why the goddess who became an S-class hunter was used helplessly?
As long as the government and the guild have decided and joined hands, they can make any number of hostages.
Probably, at the time before the return, such a weakness was caught and she was forced to take advantage of it.
Kang Yu-sik was thinking that he should investigate the bride-to-be's life.
"Hmmmm."
A figure that had never been felt before appeared from behind. Ban Hye-young seems to have a lot to say, and Cha Si-hyeon looks uncomfortable even though it is nothing different from usual.
Kang Yoo-sik asked with a calm expression at the appearance of the two people who seemed to have been hiding and watching.
“Where have you two been?”
“We came for a walk around."
"Yes. That's right."
Kang Yu-shik smiled and walked over to the side of the two people who answered shamelessly.
"Still, you came just in time."
"Okay. I was worried because I thought it might have been a long time."
Like Ban Hye-young, who was so dissatisfied with the bride-to-be, Cha Si-hyeon looked at her with strange eyes.
Seeing the two of them, Kang took out a gift box prepared in advance without wasting time and pushed it out.
He said,
"Take both."
"Uh, huh?"
“This is ..”
At the gift presented in front of them, the eyes of the two who had just been blunt widened, and Kang Yoo-sik smiled.
“There are a lot of things I usually owe, so I prepared this time.”
"No, I didn't say this in advance."
"Thank you."
Ban Hye-young became embarrassed by the unexpected situation, and Cha Si-hyun tightly hugged the box, even though she doesn't know what it is.
At the reaction of the two people who looked happy, Kang pointed to the box with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Open them both."
The two men nodded, unwrapping the wrapping paper, opened the box, and widened their eyes when they saw the whispering fairy and Arachne's gloves inside.
They haven't seen the details yet, but just looking at the exterior gives a sense of value.
“What kind of thing is that…”
Kang Yu-sik explained the effect of each equipment, and both of them looked slightly moved by the effect that was perfect for them.
"Not bad"
"Thank you, I will write well.“
[The debt of the debtor ‘Ban Hye-young’ increases.]
[The debt of the debtor ‘Cha Shi-hyeon’ increases.]
As it is grade A, there is no change in the grade, but the debt has risen sharply. Kang Yoo-sik smirked.
"Try wearing them both now."
"Now?"
"I want to see if they fit well."
"Okay."
Ban Hye-young was shy, but immediately put on the fairy's whisper in his ear, and Cha Si-hyeon also took off her gloves and put on Arachne's gloves.
It is of good quality, but it also looks good in design.
Kang Yu-sik nodded his head.
"They both go along well."
"It's nice."
Cha Si-hyeon smiled, and Ban Hye-young couldn't even make eye contact with each other.
The unusual atmosphere had disappeared now and Kang naturally led the atmosphere.
"Come on, let's go back in now."
"All right."
Perhaps because of her excitement, Cha Si-hyeon took the lead and entered the venue, followed by Ban Hye-young and Kang Yu-sik, and the moment they were about to enter.
"Hey."
Ban Hye-young stopped his steps and looked back.
"Take this."
A gift box carefully wrapped. Kang Yu-sik gave him a slightly surprised expression, and Ban Hye-young swung it over.
"This time, I'm preparing a thesis and working hard in many ways. It's precious, so you have to write it well!"
Ban Hye-young talks like a threat to hide his embarrassment. Kang Yoo-sik smiled softly at the sight.
“Every time I use it, I will think of the teacher.”
“You, you, uh!!”
Ban Hye-young, who was about to say something, ran inside as if running away, and Kang Yu-sik laughed at the fresh reaction.
And the moment she was about to go inside.
[Thanks for the gift… I will cherish it.]
A small whisper in his ear. Realizing that it was a fairy's whisper, Kang Yu-sik looked inside the venue.
Ban Hye-young turned his back toward the side, with his ears bright red.
Kang Yoo-sik smiled softly in response to his shy appearance.
‘It was nothing.'
Their last night in New York ended neatly in its own way.
"So, please take care of this guy for the time being."
Namgung Ryun, who was sitting opposite of Kang Yoo-sik, turned his head with an astringent expression, and Archibald, who had cleaned his messy hair and beard, bowed his head.
“Please take care of me.”
At that polite greeting, Namgung Ryun opened his mouth slowly, feeling an indescribable feeling."
"I have one question, but…"
"Yes."
"As far as I know, this guy seems to have been reported missing from the house. Isn't it?"
"Yes. That's right."
As Kang Yu-sik responded without a single hesitation, Namgung Ryun touched his eyes.
He then asked him in a slightly tired voice.
"Are you kidnapped?"
"No. It can't be."
“Then what happened?”
Namgung Ryun carefully asks even if he has debts because of work.
“Because of being kicked out by me, there is a lot of hatred in the family.”
"Well."
"So, I came across something that was sold and handed over to Tacheon by chance, and I brought it here."
Namgoong Ryun, with an absurd expression on his face, glanced at Archibald who was sitting next to him and asked.
”So what and how does she care?"
"Just provide food, clothing, and shelter, and support me so that I can research magic. I will pay all the money."
"At least it won't be a lot of work, but… what is this?"
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Namgung Ryun's ridiculous expression.
"Yeah. I knew it for a moment."
Namgoong Ryun, who had a pitiful expression on his face, returned home with Archibald in disguise, and Kang Yu-sik, who saw them off, had a slightly regretful expression on his face.
"If I hadn't hit the players in The Hague, it would have been better used."
Originally, Kang's plan was to send Archibald back to the Hague and then spy on the inside to find an opportunity to swallow it.
Since the missing person had been reported before the attack, it was a little vague to send him back.
"The guy whom I thought was going to die must come back and be treated like a thorn in the eye."
Considering the knife-like work this time around, maybe even rats and birds will unwittingly kill Archibald or sell it to another group of demons.
Because of that, Kang Yu-sik changed his plans countless times, secretly brought Archibald to Korea, and handed it over to the trustworthy Namgung Ryun.
"Things have been delayed a bit, but this isn't too bad."
Archibald's skills are not bad enough, and things have been delayed a bit, and the opportunity to swallow up the Hague has not disappeared.
"It's for fun later"
After organizing his thoughts, Kang Yu-sik went out to the cafe and looked around.
After summer vacation, he wandered around here and there and just walking aimlessly like this makes him feel comfortable.
He said,
‘"I've been running around a bit tight."
Since I've worked out all the big things I'm going to do it during the summer vacation. It's okay to take a few days off.
When Kang thought so and moved his steps a cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw a name he had not seen in a long time.
[Lee Byung-ho]
Chang is the eldest son of the guild. And Lee Byung-ho is the future S-class hunter.
After summer break, the guy who only occasionally texted him called.
"Uh. Byung-ho. What's going on?"
"Brother Yooshik, is it okay to call you now?"
"Yeah. It's okay."
"It's no different, but it's good to know when you'll be able to attend the dinner as you promised before…"
"Ah. The thing about having dinner with your grandfather at home?"
"Yes. That's it."
In response to Lee Byung-ho's answer, Kang Yu-sik patted his chin for a moment.
"Isn't there anything bad about being Lee Jeong-ryong?"
If you think about natural death in 5 years, it is better to collect the light before that, and if it is not a natural death, you need to know the surrounding environment.
Kang Yu-sik, who decided to take a leisurely look around, answered immediately.
"I don't mind today. How's your grandfather?"
"Ah. Then I'll see you today. My grandfather also said that he was ok anytime he was resting at home."
“Okay, see you later.”
In the evening, Kang arrived at Lee’s home by the car that came to meet him. He looked at the house in front of him.
It is rustic compared to Lucia's mansion in Italy, but it is still twice as spacious as other detached houses on the yolk land.
At the sight of Chang realizing how excellent the guild's growth was, Kang Yu-sik looked at it with interest and moved inside.
“Ah, you’re here!”
As they entered the yard, Lee Byung-ho, who was waiting in front of the front door, ran up to him, and Kang Yu-sik laughed at the mutt-like appearance.
"Long time no see."
"It's my first time on vacation. You've changed so much in a month."
Lee Byung-ho looked at him with a slightly admirable expression. He didn't notice that the stats had changed.
He glanced at Kang Yu's esophagus and smiled lightly.
"You're quite different!"
Although he was a little tall, he grew and, above all, his stats and technical aspects seemed to have increased significantly.
When he pointed out the visible growth, Byung-ho Lee put on a triumphant expression.
“I kept practicing by myself the training method you sent me via text message."
"Yeah? Well, I guess I'll have to check it out after a while."
When the two were talking with a smile. The front door opened and Lee Jung-ryong appeared.
“Byung-ho, what are you doing with all the guests outside?”
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's so nice to meet you…"
Lee Byung-ho made a playful expression, and Lee Jung-ryong, who had come to his side, smiled lightly.
"I'm sorry. He's still young."
"No. It's okay. We just talked for a while."
Short hair mixed with white hair, not only the face but also numerous scars were exposed beyond the short-sleeved shorts.
You can tell just by looking at what kind of life he has been living, and Kang Yu-sik put on a slightly admiring expression on his face.
"If you do this, you will be able to take it easily… It's a wonderful inspiration."
How can an old man with so much energy die naturally after 5 years?
When Kang Yu-sik was looking at him with a strange expression Ban murmured in a trembling voice
"That inspiration! Do you think I'm cursed?"
