Chapter 3: To the house
Kim Jong-guk greeted him with a comfortable smile that was unlike any other.
"Welcome. Where were we yesterday? When you met Kuro, the tiger king? "
The guard shakes his head.
"I even talked about meeting an elf in a rock spring. "
"Oh, right. I did. Haha, old people don't have good memory. "
Applause is also a very interesting counseling case for Kim Jong-guk. It's been 10 years.
A person who moved to a new dimension at the beginning of a battle with a presumed key.
The words he spits are still empty, but as fun as reading another , listening to his adventure stories has been quite enjoyable.
Amazing detail, even in an imaginative world. Sometimes I get the feeling that the Guardians really are like warriors of inversion after centuries of adventure.
"I'm not here to talk about adventure stories today. "
"Hmm?"
"I have to go find my brother. "
"Oh, I haven't heard from you yet? "
"That's right."
"Why don't you wait a little longer? You're not ready to go into society yet. "
I've waited long enough.
He didn't live a passive life.
Waiting quietly was not enough for me. I've always searched for civilizations, and I've been constantly on the move, going to every corner of that planet.
"No, I have to go. "
"You won't be discharged. "
Poor parents who can't even reach their guardians.
He has turned away from the country where he is responsible and has no contact with his family.
Even if he were an E rank, the state would pay his pension.... Nowhere to sponsor right now
"I'm not asking for permission. I came here to say goodbye to a friend. "
" .... "
I really feel like I'm a friend.
Has there ever been a counselor who has sent such unholy and infinite trust?
Kim Jong-guk sighed and showed me how to do it, with a firm will of protection.
"Then let's do this. "
Kim Jong-guk smiled.
"I'll take care of your hospital bills. I have a favor to ask you. "
"What is it?"
"When you find your brother, will you come back and tell me about your adventure? "
A true story of 10 years wanted to come out after a thousand-year adventure.
Kim Jong-guk desperately wanted to heal this harmless counselor's wound.
The guardian who was staring at Kim Jong-guk nodded.
"Okay, I'll pay you back when I get back. And I'll tell you an adventure I can't finish. "
"If you need help, call this number. "
I took my business card and bills out of my wallet with me.
"Use this as a way to go. "
" .... "
I feel a warm favor.
It's not that you don't know the value of money as protection.
Modern civilization society is not a place where hunting gatherings are used to survive. Money is the absolute means to get everything you need.
Money itself is power and power.
Kim Jong-guk shared it.
It's like dividing food and nesting.
The guard hugged Kim Jong-guk.
"From now on, you are no different from me and my brother. "
For him, Professor Kim is no different from the wolf pack that used to be his family. with those who shared their realms, hunted together, raised their young together, and fought their enemies together.
"I'll be back. "
"Haha, I hope you bring me news of your brother. "
"Yes."
The guard went out and paged the nurse.
"Oh, nurse. I need you to help me prep the patient for discharge. "
"I, sir. "
"What?"
"Why are you doing this to the applause patient? "
Kim Jong-guk just smiled.
Why do I need a reason between friends?
"Please go up and help me get discharged. "
"Yes, sir. "
Kim Jong-guk sighed as she even went out.
"Phew."
Fatigue came into Kim Jong-guk's eyes when he was dazzled.
"Get used to it. "
The old body became tired, but the young blood soaked in my heart slowly cooled down.

Nurse Oh caught Nurse Wu trying to leave in a patient's uniform, because she was covered in rags all over her lower body.
"Wait a minute. I'll get a uniform. "
Roughly measured the dimensions of protection, she returned to her room with a shopping bag.
He was a 20-something college student who wore underwear and a t-shirt to his jeans.
"I finished paying for the hospital. Go to the Residence Center and recover your identity first…. "
Nurse Oh told me in detail how to find her sister in order to help. The guard who listened quietly hugged her.
"You're a good person. "
"W-what are you doing? "
Nurse Oh clears her throat with a red face when the guard let her go.
"Geez! Don't hug anyone when you get out! This is sexual harassment."
"I will."
As the guard smiled and left the hospital room, Nurse Oh's still face became more red.
"Huh, well. "
He's so handsome.
You're older than you look in the meantime.
Who's gonna see him when he's 33?
*
I stopped by the community center to recover my missing identity. I got his address and got into a cab.
"Please go here. "
"Yes, I'll be right there. "
It feels different from running on a bison.
As I watched the building swooping by, I arrived shortly.
"Well, I can't go any further. It's blocked."
The narrow hillside is not accessible to the car.
I calculated the price and walked up the stairs.
The houses were old and dilapidated, but the further up the moon, the more visible the city was. No, even though they're old, they're better than the caves and stumps they used to live in.
"Here it is."
In front of a red brick multi-family house.
After a long time in front of the house, the Guardian came up with a word that would suit the situation.
"Are you there?"
Or not.
"Joon-ho Park!"
The reaction came from above.
"Who?"
On the second floor handrail, my grandmother held out her head tightly.
"Is Junho here? "
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no "
Seeing my grandmother furious, I couldn't wait to protect her.
This is not a wild place where the absolute rules of pharmaceutics apply.
Earth has rules of civilization. The day I was born is more important than the day I lived. Korea.
"I am 33, not 1001. '
The guard asked politely.
"I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. Do you know Junho?"
"Phew. Why are you asking me that? "
The grandmother had already been hurt by sarcasm.
"Junho's address is shown here on the copy. "
"Oh, I didn't know that. Must have moved."
Even my grandmother's cold attitude asked me.
"Do you know where you've moved to? "
"Oh, how can a young man not know what he's talking about? Get the fuck out of here. I don't know. "
I turned around and my grandmother closed the door and went into the room.
"You're mistaken."
As you have adapted to the wild, you must adapt to civilization.
I had to show respect for those who lived before me.
Should I get you a present? I went down to the Dal Village to stop by the supermarket I had seen on the way to the Guard.
The grandmother who brought a bag of salt sighed when she couldn't see him.
"Phew, those damn debtors! It's been a long day. "
I spilled my nerves out in the alley, but I heard it from behind me.
"I'm sorry. "
The boy who looks about six years old bows his head and frowns.
"Oh, no! I didn't mean to pry. "
" .... "
Gun only sees things.
Whether it looked salty again, the grandmother's aunt hugged the child and patted him.
"What a careless world. These poor things have done nothing wrong. "
Poor rich kid.
The father worked day and night, but the debt only increased, and the child grew old as he grew old.
All he can do is take care of his child's food while he's away from work.
The guard who ran to Burinake and bought a gift drink could not knock on the door again.
Developed hearing of protection does not interfere with hearing in or out of the house.
"Phew."
My mind became frustrated.
Why did you want to see your sister?
Hospital bills?
No, I just had to meet him. He's family.
The guard, who had been leaning against the wall for a long time, hides from the approaches coming from inside the house.
'Use this to go to the supermarket and buy yourself a snack. '
After the sound of the cursed world or not, a child holding a thousand won comes down the second floor stairs.
Queek.
The gate opened and the child came out.
After a while, the child slowly went down the alley and came back up with a bag of chips in his hand. Then I saw the guard waiting outside the gate, and I was startled and frozen.
"Can I ask you something? "
The child nods.
"Yes."
"Is your father's name Park Jun-ho? "
The child jumps down the alley in a panic because of the question of protection.
"Tsk, I wish I'd suffered so much. '
The guard hurries down and catches the boy about to fall.
I handed the soda box I bought earlier to a child who was about to burst into tears.
"Take this. "
" .... "
The child who noticed quietly nodded.
I read the sign that the Guardian would never hurt himself.
"Tell me it was given to you by your eldest father. "
"Yes?"
"You'll know when you say it like that. I'll be right back. "
I looked at the guard going down the hillside without hesitation.
I feel like I'm possessed by something.
*
I thought I could postpone seeing my brother a little bit.
"Debtor."
The law of the earth is complicated, although the law of the wild is strong.
Simplifying complexity is power, and the power of the civilized world is money.
"I need money. "
The guardian who lived for a thousand years in the world of drug-suppression is a natural hunter. There is a game on Earth called alien monsters, and hunters make quite a lot of money.
That's why I came here.
Korea Awakening Administration
Soldiers fight monsters.
If you belong to a country, you are a soldier; if you belong to a civilian, you are a mercenary.
There was no reason for the protection to become a mercenary.
Mercenary is a hunting license.
It's like basic proof that you're ready to fight monsters.
"Dear Customer 32, "
You move to the Ticket Window as soon as your waiting number is dialed.
"How are you? "
There are two ways to become a mercenary.
Graduated from a 16-week training camp or passed a mercenary test. The choice of protection is the latter. Because it's faster.
"I'm here to register for a mercenary test. "
"Yes, let me take a look. "
It was natural to say respectfully.
Respect for others.
You're adapting to civilization again.
"Huh?"
While the defender was proud, an employee looked up his criminal history, resurrection history, and more.
"You haven't registered for Awakening yet? I'm going to register this first. Go to the 3rd floor measurement room here…. "
I followed the employee's instructions to the measurement room.
Dimensional Energy Meter
"Yes, feel free to lie down here. "
The meter looks like a stone bed. I slowly dimmed the light and added it, as if it were pulsing with a faint blue light.
"You might feel a little creepy for a second. "
Official words continued.
"If there's a blue light on the lamp, you can come out. "
As he goes out and lies on the gauge alone, the guard feels a tingling sensation.
'Disgusting.'
I feel like hundreds of hyenas hiding in the bushes are watching me.
Beep!
Suddenly, the feeling of imprisonment fades with the sound, and a blue flame rises. When the guard comes out, he says with a fat face.
"You don't have enough energy to wake up. "
"I thought you said it was Class F? "
"Well, it's a liver meter. It has a large error range. You see the numbers here? "
The number on the liquid crystal is 96.
"This should be more than 100. That way, you can get an F rating. This is a very small shortage. It's just an" F "error. "
Minimum qualification to pass through the portal. Without Awakening, it was impossible to take the mercenary test itself.
"No way. I'm a nobleman. I came in a portal. "
The staff laughed at the words of the guard.
"Are you from Hergall? Ordinary people tear themselves apart when they ride in a portal. He's dying."
"I must have felt that pain. "
"What kind of hulk are you? Imagine that at home. "
The sarcastic man shakes his hand.
"Anyway, go to Awakening School or Field or Awakening first. "
Awakening grants superpowers.
No need to measure at first, but there were people who came to the door as caretakers, even though they knew.
The guardian, who curiously sought out the Administration, failed to take the mercenary test.
"Ridiculous. "
You're the best hunter in the world, so you can't hunt with pride.
The guard, who had left the administration with a ridiculous face, stopped in the lobby on the first floor. One of the wallpapers adhered to the wall billboard stood out.
