Episode 10
“Queue”
I woke up stretching in my dorm bed.
[PM 9:30]
It was already 9:30 in the evening.
“Ah. I should have had dinner and slept.”
I returned to the dormitory as soon as today’s class was over.
And lying on the bed and just closing my eyes for a while, I fell asleep without realizing it.
By now, the school cafeteria should have all closed.
“I should go to the nearby convenience store.”
I roughly dragged on my slippers and went outside.
Turbuck-
As soon as I came out of the main gate of the school, I saw the [CI convenience store] Right across the street.
I should buy a lunchbox over there and go in.
The moment the light changes to green and you are about to cross.
Kiki-
A luxury black car pulled up across the street.
Then a man who appeared to be a driver got out of the driver’s seat and opened the back door.
Ji-yoon Cha came out from the back seat.
“….”
She simply bowed to the driver and went inside the convenience store.
And not too long after, her arms were full of [Chocolate flavors] [Jjanghoo] All sorts of sweets.
She looked at the handful of sweets in her arms, her bright smile uncharacteristic of her.
“…”
I was staring blankly at the sight.
I guess she felt her gaze somewhere, and she turned her gaze to me.
And soon our eyes met.
Her eyes started shaking like an earthquake, then she looked at the secretary and she said.
“..Kim Knight”
“Yes. What are you doing?”
The knight quickly ran in front of Cha Ji-yoon.
“…..You said your daughter likes sweets, right?”
“Yes? I don’t have a daughter yet…”
“…I bought it because it was a request from Mr. Kim’s daughter. Buy it yourself from now on.”
“Yes… ?What the hell is that?”
Kister Kim put on an expression that he did not understand.
Soon after, she glanced at me and she handed over to Knight Kim a bunch of sweets from her arms.
“Ah.. Thank you. Thank you for this food.”
“….”
She looked at the snacks piled up in Knight Kim’s arms without saying a word.
Her expression was sullen.
“..Let’s go.”
Bang-
The car door was also slammed shut.
“Let’s go, Mr. Kim.”
“Yes!”
The driver quickly started running to the driver’s seat.
I looked closely at the man Cha Ji-yoon called Knight Kim.
Looks like he’s in his early 30s and has a sharp impression.
No doubt. She sleeps
The author is a demon who made a contract with the devil.
There are innumerable routes where Cha Ji-yoon dies because the author runs out of control later on.
You must get rid of him before the runaway point.
Also, aside from him, countless demons were already lined up around him.
Those who made a contract with the devil.
They are usually no different from ordinary people, so it is impossible to tell them apart.
However, if something triggers them to go berserk, they instantly gain demonic power and become incredibly strong.
Compared to that. I have very poor stats and skills right now.
“Ha…. I need to start unlocking skills soon.”
Right now, growth seemed a bit rushed.
Right now, there is a demon attack next week too.
I went to the convenience store and made a quick meal with a packed lunch before entering the dormitory.
I sat down at my computer desk and turned it on.
Diriring-
Soon after, the monitor screen turned on.
“Let’s see… The money I have right now”
I accessed my account from a computer.
[‘Sunhyup’ Bank – ‘Nam Do-yoon’ account 0 won.]
“……X feet.”
As expected, the account was empty.
“Ha… This is a big deal.”
I entered a site that sells goods.
[‘Tears of Hollywood’ – 20 million won, 3 left.]
I need this right now.
I need this to be able to block the attack of the demons next week.
It’s a must-have material to unlock Nam Do-yoon’s scam skill.
If I don’t have this, I will never be able to defeat Mine with my current stats and skills.
The problem is that I don’t have any money in my pocket right now.
To find 20 million won in a week or so?
I’m not an active hunter, just a student?
This is impossible.
“Ha….”
I let out a deep sigh.
How do I do this?
A moment when I was deeply troubled.
I came across an article by chance.
[The guild representing the ‘Samhwa’ company decided to attack the ‘Labyrinth Swamp’ dungeon the day after tomorrow.]
It has been decided that the ‘Oriental’ Guild, headed by Yoon-yang, the second Chaji of the ‘Samhwa’ group, will attack the sand ‘Labyrinth Swamp’ dungeon tomorrow.
The public’s attention was focused on the ‘Oriental’ guild.
Suddenly, while reading the article, a thought crossed my mind.
“No. Come to think of it, there is no way.”
I looked at my phone carefully and waited for her call.
******
“Miss Cha Ji-yoon is here.”
Kim said through the intercom.
Click-
Then the gate opened.
“Lady, we will arrive at the Chairman’s place in 3 minutes.”
“…..Yes”
Her home was more like a big castle than a house.
There was a backyard, a yard, a garden, and it was incredibly spacious.
Her driver put her in her car and moved on.
Kikki-
“My lady has arrived.”
The driver opened the back door.
She got out of the car.
In front of me, I saw a building in the form of a traditional Korean house.
However, the size was huge.
“Where is your father now?”
“He is in the study.”
“Thank you.”
She bowed her head and went inside the building.
“Welcome. Miss”
As we entered, the attendants greeted us.
“…..”
Cha Ji-yoon nodded.
She was walking towards her study when she suddenly stopped.
It was because of the voice I heard right behind me.
“W. I saw my younger brother and older brother, but he didn’t even say hello?”
“……”
She bowed her head in silence.
“Can you move away for a moment?”
Her brother looked at the attendants beside him and said.
“Yes. All right.”
Soon she was left with only her and his brother.
“Jiyoon. I heard that you will serve as the representative of the ‘guild’ created by our company?”
“…So what?”
“Ha..”
He shook her head and continued her words.
“Jiyoon. You still haven’t given up your position as your father’s successor?”
“……”
She looked at him without speaking.
“Jiyoon.”
He rested his chin on her shoulder.
“Can you see that my father entrusted everything to me with electronics and a hotel, but he entrusted only one ‘Hunter Guild’ to you?”
“……”
“Of course, the Hunter Guild is important in today’s world. Companies that do not have a ‘Hunter Guild’ have to rely only on mercenaries.”
“…..”
“The problem is, the Hunter Guild is already oversaturated. Ji Yoon-ah. What could be the reason your father entrusted you with something that could clearly be seen as a failure?”
“…What is it?”
She said, staring at him.
“hahahaha. Jiyoon, why are you such a smart kid?”
He smiled and said.
“…….”
“You are saying that if you fail this time, it is time to clean your hands in management.”
“…….Do you think so?”
“Of course not?”
“…I don’t think so. The Hunter Guild is a more important business than electronics or hotel business in this era.”
“Um… What, let’s say that?”
“..There is obviously a high chance of failure, but given that you entrusted me with such an important task, didn’t you give me a chance too?”
“What is it? Let’s concede a hundred times and say yes. By the way, I heard that your guild is entering the ‘Labyrinth Swamp’ dungeon the day after tomorrow?”
“…So what?”
“The dungeon there hasn’t been raided yet, so we don’t have any information, but the hunters in our guild are all rookies.”
“……”
“Statistically, the probability of clearing this case is less than 10%. You know that?”
“……”
“So don’t just fail and resign uglyly, let’s just cool down right now, huh?”
“…The only way to know whether to clear it or not is to do it.”
“Put.”
The man laughed.
“What. Ok ok give it a try I’ll be looking forward to it.”
The man stood up with a sarcasm.
“After…”
Cha Ji-yoon sighed deeply as the man left.
I really want to succeed in clearing the ‘Labyrinth Swamp’ dungeon and flatten that man’s nose.
Smart-
She knocked on the door of her father’s study.
“May I come in?”
*****
She came into her own room after an interview with her father.
She turned on the computer and sat down in her seat.
“After…”
She sighed and opened the KakaoTalk chat window.
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ – Is there anyone?
‘Samhwa’ Information Department Han Sam-hee – Yes. Miss Jiyun. What are you doing?
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ – We need information about the ‘Labyrinth Swamp’ dungeon that our guild will enter the day after tomorrow.
After that, there was no answer for about 10 minutes.
Samhwa Han, Samhwa Information Department. – We’re sorry, but we don’t have any information yet. It’s an undisclosed dungeon, so I guess…
‘Cha Ji-yoon’-I see. All right.
With that, Cha Ji-yoon turned off the chat window.
In order to successfully attack a dungeon the day after tomorrow, you need information about that dungeon.
However, as expected of an undisclosed dungeon, I couldn’t find any information that was disclosed.
What should I do? Should I cancel the dungeon even now?
The moment I was worried about that.
A person came to mind.
The person who knew the defense magic of ‘Rich’, which had not yet been revealed to the world in the entrance exam.
Nam Doyoon.
If that’s the case…
She quietly picked up the phone and made a call.
“Hello?”
Nam Doyoon answered the phone.
“…Can we meet for a moment?”
