29 – [1] Deal with the Devil
#029
Soon, he took out the file folder that had been placed under the ramen on the tray.
Inside, he went through the papers one by one and handed me one of them.
“Take it, it’s a document that organizes the guild’s employee information to which their parents belong.”
“I don’t know if I see this… … .”
“You have good hair. You should be able to read this much.”
In the end, I read the document handed over to me.
It was well organized, so it wasn’t unreadable.
‘Prospects are bright, but not big guilds.’
You have to hit well at the level of a mid-level guild.
If you remove the bubble, it is between small and medium-sized.
Except for one giant guild, it was like that.
“I want to eat all of those guilds in the end.”
But the more I looked, the more questions I had.
At first, Chunmari was interested in dealing with the drug lords.
But suddenly something like this comes out?
It was clearly a calculated action.
Most of the conversations we’ve had so far are about me.
It was most likely to judge based on my reaction.
Is this the regressor’s jjambab?
It felt like goosebumps all over my body.
“… … Exactly how?”
“After the acquisition, 95% were laid off through guild bankruptcy and resale. We will steal some of the personnel and guild assets to absorb know-how and technology.”
It was absurd and unrealistic.
If he made a mistake, there would be room for him to be stabbed with a knife.
“Considering how many Hunters will be out of 95%, the risk is too great. Then, what if the fired person gets stabbed with a knife?”
“Even if I get stabbed anyway. Because it’s me who’s right Do not worry about it.”
“I told you not to worry. I can’t help but listen to it.”
“Did you tell me earlier? I will be the best in all ages. How can that be the best thing if you die by a blind sword?”
“Crazy, really.”
Both laughed.
My heart, which had been close to rejection, was leaning.
“Then, whatever that is. How exactly are you going to eat the guild? No, how are you going to tie the guild eating together with my testimony?”
“It’s that simple! The child and successor of the top director or owner is a drug addict! There is even an attempted murder case! Hey, don’t you think you can hear the happy news of the reporters from here?!”
He put his hands on my shoulders and poured out his eyes as if he had returned.
It was a mixture of madness and greed.
“Even if there are articles from all over the place, their guild will be shaken!”
“The company is shaken because the management’s son has a problem? The company wouldn’t be run with such a mess, right?”
“That’s right. But what if a child goes missing for a long time and then is found gruesomely murdered? What kind of synergy will that and the fact that he is a drug dealer create?”
My testimony is seasoning.
The key ingredient is this.
After disappearing, the child was found horribly murdered.
It could be said that nothing could be more desperate for parents.
Of course, despair meant becoming psychologically unstable.
Instability meant that misjudgments would increase.
Unless you hand over the management to a professional manager.
There was plenty of room for the company’s instability to continue.
“If I were to come up with a rough scenario here. After the drug lord entered the academy, he went a bit far as a hunter to do his homework. ‘Someone’ leaked information, and he was kidnapped while fighting the sword masters of Nazi Germany or the Galakotede Empire that he had been tracking. And after a long period of gang rape and torture, she gives birth to dozens of children without knowing her father and then dies.”
“No, wait. Why are Germany and Reich appearing there?”
“You said it was a rough script. It just literally says yes.”
There were a few examples and a few details.
It felt like I had used it against someone else in the past.
I don’t know if you know that idea or not.
Chunmari pushed her face in a little and continued talking.
“Anyway, when that happens. Can Im Ha-na’s parents make normal judgments and management? Will the guild be able to survive? How will the public look at the fact that the drug addict died that way?”
“… … They would make a mistake trying to force themselves to find their children or seek revenge. The public will curse at every action, saying that it is self-inflicted.”
“That’s what I mean! And in a scenario like this, it all depends on how we frame it.”
“Us?”
“yes. You want revenge anyway, and I want a guild, right?”
Won’t you join us in destroying the f*cking guild?
Is this a rare opportunity?
“Since our interests are right, can’t we express it as us?”
I even talked like this.
You also have a reason to be together.
It’s no fun if you refuse.
It seemed that the earnestness behind the confidence could be seen.
It was clear that Chunmari saw this as an opportunity.
That’s why I pretend to be worried.
He rested his arms on the table and touched his forehead.
At the end of a little bit of time.
By the time the opponent wants to be impatient.
I opened my mouth again.
“What kind of damage will Imhana receive from this?”
“All the friends I trusted because I wasn’t close to them are going to hell.”
“Impressive.”
“Actually, if you get to that point, your friend. It might not be necessary to fight Im Hana with you.”
“why?”
“Because all of my friends die, I lose my place to depend on, and the actions of a drug lord whose everything is over are obvious.”
“Are you saying you’re committing suicide?”
“Well, I don’t think so. I wonder if he’ll hold on to your leg and cry and scream… … .”
I guess that would be a bit of a headache.
Because it was said that the lump swelled again while trying to take it off and take revenge.
Chunmari saw my expression harden and waved her arms.
“anyway! Personally, after going through revenge, exhaustion, regret, obsession, and pacifism. I don’t think it’s bad to show mercy through death. There is nothing more full of love for humanity than this.”
“Isn’t that not love for humanity, but exhaustion, exhaustion, exhaustion, hell, hell?”
I’m dizzy.
Did it start again soon?

Little by little, crazy sounds like bullsh*t came out of the mouth of the thousand.
The conclusion of the conversation had not yet been fully reached, but it was impossible to fall into Samcheonpo.
I summarized the story and themes that had been going on so far, and came back to what I wanted to say next.
“So, Thousand What exactly do you want from me?”
“Drugs, attempted murder, violence, etc. Hiding criminal testimonies and stories about Hana Im and his gang until the opportunity presents itself.”
“Well, it is not difficult. Then I will hide it until the time is right.”
“Well, it would be appreciated if you minimize encounters with them, including Hana Im.”
“Minimizing encounters… … It can’t be helped because you don’t know what will happen.”
square, square.
I wrote the contents step by step on a blank A4 paper.
It’s like writing a dialogue log, but it wasn’t just a summary of the discussion.
– What we both have to pursue together.
– What a thousand horses demand.
– What Kang Xian demands.
– ※No betrayal
It was to write a contract so that the promise could not be broken.
Although there is no magical or legal effect, it was to give each other trust by leaving a contract.
“Now it is my turn to ask. Jiangshi, what do you want from me?”
“Well… … .”
“Like I said earlier, when things are done well. I can just give you financial gains of tens of billions.”
“No, the financial part is fine.”
You never know what will happen to a person, and receiving such a large amount could itself become a debt.
Furthermore, even if she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she would have to work a lot to raise that kind of money.
It was better to invest with funds for work, rather than worrying about compensation even if you were overdoing it.
I talked about something more desperate than the financial part.
“Instead, train me to become a Hunter. If it’s hard, exercise doesn’t matter.”
“Hunter training? Exercise?”
“It doesn’t matter if you are, it doesn’t matter if you are the teacher you taught. Anyway, I just need to learn.”
After the boss hunt was over, I thought a lot as I dragged her to the village.
A fundamental concern about whether I can really become a Hunter.
However, the more he pondered, the closer he came to the conclusion that it was not a question of whether he could become a Hunter.
There was only the conclusion that somehow it had to be unconditional.
Without this, there would be no revenge, and my chances of survival would only be slim.
Of course, I could have gone to the Hunter Academy to learn, but I had no reason to do so.
The self-proclaimed best of all time, the hidden boss in the other game.
There are thousands of them who will become strong in the future, so why is it necessary?
It would have been many times better to learn from her than to learn from idiots.
That’s why I continued to send somewhat earnest eyes.
Although the result was boring even in the eyes.
“That’s what I originally intended.”
“?”
“Anyway, the doctor said that. I think Marie is doing some exercise. Take your boyfriend and get him some exercise.”
“… … .”
“hehehe, don’t worry too much, I’ll teach you as best as I can through the full course for training EX-class hunters~”
“Ugh.”
After several inspections, the deal with the devil was concluded.
It was around the time the contract was signed.
“But what we have been talking about so far. Is this a normal subject for conversation in the first year of middle school?”
“… … Yeah? But since we can talk to each other, it won’t matter.”
is it?
If so, that would be it.
Since he was showing almost everything on the other side anyway, it seemed like there wouldn’t be a problem with an honest conversation.
Therefore, I decided to solve the troubles that often came to my mind when I was in the ruins.
I asked very detailed questions about ‘the reason why Thousands were so good to Kang Xian’ and ‘the real reason why he fed that expensive magical power growth drug’.
“Uh, um… … .”
“Well, it’s just a simple question. You don’t have to answer if you don’t like it.”
“No… … .”
To be honest, I had no idea that this self-respecting guy would give me a proper answer.
I just threw it, and if I didn’t tell you, I thought I’d move on.
“That’s right… … Because I’ve been thinking hard about it. I think I bullied and hit you too much in elementary school… … ?”
Hey, you’re saying you’re going to answer this?
That proud, 1,000 that hates to admit their mistakes?
It could be said that it was a surprise that the rotation time would go back to 24 hours.
I listened to her with a surprised expression.
“I thought that if I had been there, it wouldn’t have been like this… … Do you feel that you have to keep your loyalty? … That’s why I fed him magic growth potion. What’s more—”
I’m sorry I beat you so much when I was in elementary school.
There are a lot of sh*tty things, but I’m sorry for continuing to accept it.
I was so sorry for playing with you despite the past.
I’m sorry about it, but it’s because of loyalty.
If you knew, you should have improved a little earlier, the content that comes out naturally.
“uh… … Are you just saying this? Are you a thousand? No, are you sick?”
“Oh no f*ck! you asked! So I mustered up the courage to answer, and answered! Emchang! What is the reaction!”
The profit and loss calculation could have been an outright regressor’s lie.
However, the way he stuttered, his reaction was aggravated, and his earlobes were very red, so it seemed that he was sincere.
I greatly overhauled the prejudices in my heart.
At this level, rather than being an asshole, he deserves to be called a friend who cannot be compared to Hana Im.
the past covered
Now that I’m on a boat
got up right away.
He stretched out his arms and gently hugged her.
“What, what, what are you doing—”
“Thank you. I guess I only have you as my friend.”
Even if it’s just words and actions.
This was the best I could do.
The thousand were startled and rolled their mouths like earthworms crawling.
It was like I was racking up, and I was about to sit back down to calm down.
“… … Friend yaaa!!”
To be honest, I thought I was going to curse and punch him for being cheesy.
However, rather suddenly, he jumped up and stretched out his arms to hug him.
“Kek.”
Of course, the action itself was similar to what I did.
However, the intensity was so strong that I felt a strange sensation in my chest.
I tried to back off, but it didn’t go well.
It just kept hugging me tight.
A situation where breathing becomes stuffy because something is a little too much.
He could have been angry, but judging from the guy’s condition, he seemed to need to act wisely.
I decided to be patient and move on.
I gently patted the back of the thousand horses.
‘I’m still a friend… … Well, it’ll be fine.’
Perhaps.
