└ Jeju Guild No. 1: Why is it Fairy Forest, what’s so fairy-like or forest-like about it??? It’s kind of random

└ Cheese Fizza: I thought it was Animal Crossing; lol

There were quite a lot of comments, and every single one of them was sincere. At least for issues like this, people were being honest.

Choi Cedric, who had been reading the comments with a serious expression on his face, tilted his head, “What does ‘vs’ mean? Are they suggesting we should name it the ‘VS Guild’?”

“That … Cedric, it means they’d rather choose the ‘vs’ in the middle since both options aren’t good.”

“They’re saying it sounds like Animal Crossing? I can’t believe it … I really thought it was a great name.”

I tried my best to comfort Choi Cedric and Choi Lona, but it had little effect. Their faces darkened as they read the Hunter Channel. No way. At this rate, I would fail the quest because I couldn’t resolve the conflict between the siblings. It would be a shame if I failed when I had already reached the fourth stage of the quest.

Plus, it’s hot out here. I wanted to send Choi Cedric and Choi Lona, who were obviously more prepared to enjoy the sea than anyone else, to the ocean, and I wanted to get to a cooler place as soon as possible.

“Haaa…..”

“Huuu….”

It seemed like every time the Choi siblings sighed, I was one step closer to failing the quest. No, I must think of something.

The problem is … I also have a terrible sense of naming.

New guild name, name…… name…….

“Come to think of it, I’ve always wondered, what does ‘C&L’ mean in C&L Corporation?”

Choi Cedric and Choi Lona exchanged glances. For a moment, they seemed to be recalling a distant memory. Choi Cedric pursed his lips with a puzzled expression.

“That’s … haha.”

“Cedric, what’s the matter?”

Instead of Choi Cedric, Choi Lona answered with a weak smile, “It happened quite a long time ago. I’ve tried not to think about it as much as possible.”

“Huh? I’m sorry. If it’s hard to talk about, you don’t have to…….”

“It’s not like that. I named it after my brother’s and Sein-eonni’s last names. Choi and Lee, so it’s ‘C and L’, it’s simply like that.” An unconcealed loneliness sparkled in her eyes, “But now Sein-eonni is gone, and it will take a long time … to see her again.”

Although I didn’t know the entirety of the siblings’ past, it was clear that they were close to the former head of C&L Corporation, Lee Sein. She was currently imprisoned for the Monster Branch incident. Perhaps the siblings wanted to start a guild so that they could reunite with Lee Sein someday. To start anew in a new place with a new name.

Wait, C&L … it’s C and L.

“That name, can’t it work for Cedric and Lona too? You can just combine the C from Cedric and L from Lona.”

“….Huh?”

“…………!”

Choi Cedric’s mouth dropped open slightly, and Choi Lona clapped her hands together.

“You’re right. When we first established C&L back then, I was just … an ordinary child who was nothing but a burden to my brother. I never thought it could be named after me.”

“What? That’s not true at all. Our Lona was never a burden, not even once? Lona is so light I could lift you with my pinky finger.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about, Oppa.”

Choi Lona lightly tapped Choi Cedric with a swim ring, telling him to stop. It was a touch filled with affection.

“Hoohoo, that’s good. I thought we should cut out the past and make a fresh start, but maybe that idea itself was wrong. The past makes me who I am, and it’s impossible to truly cut it off.”

“I like it too. It feels like we’re going back to the beginning.”

“Corporate is too grand for just two of you, so let’s just name it ‘C&L Guild’.”

[Congratulations! You have completed ‘4. Mediate the conflict between Choi Cedric and Choi Lona’.]

“Haha! Then let’s go swimming now. It’s so hot here.”

Choi Cedric threw off his aloha shirt and stood up with his swimming ring, goggles, flippers, and surfboard.

“Eonni, do you want to swim with me? I have an extra swim ring.”

The weather was hot and I was tempted to jump into the water right away, but I shook my head, “No. It sounds like fun, but … I didn’t bring a swimsuit or a change of clothes.”

“Hmm…..” Choi Lona gazed into the distance for a moment. Her eyes had a wistful look, as if she were looking at something invisible, “I see. I’m sure you’re busy dealing with a lot of things. Let’s go swimming next time.”

Her tone seemed to indicate that she knew I was completing the quest. She really was a mysterious child. Choi Lona was about to head towards Choi Cedric, who was gesturing from five steps ahead, but then she turned back toward me.

“I guess it’s okay to say this much.”

“Huh?”

“Eonni, even if you don’t plan on swimming today, it would be wise to pack a change of clothes.”

It was a meaningful remark.

This stage of the quest was one I didn’t quite understand.

No, I don’t even know if it’s a quest in the first place. Can I click on it? Or am I about to get hacked?

I had a bad experience with hacking, so I was super hesitant to press it. I haven’t heard of anyone being hacked by the system yet, but what if I become the first?

How could they display such a crappy spam message like this?

Hmm ……. It’s okay, right? There’s no other information besides this message. Eh, I don’t know anymore.

“Huh? This is…….”

It was very interesting, but I was getting tired and hungry from all the traveling I had done earlier in the day. Lona’s words were also bothering me, so I decided to go back to my room, get some clothes and rest for a while. And maybe after that, I would check out this link in detail.

I made up my mind and headed back to the resort.

On the first floor of the resort, there was a large outdoor swimming pool. The view was wide open and quite beautiful. In addition to swimming, there were plenty of sunbeds for sunbathing, and simple snacks were also sold there.

I was thinking that playing in the pool would be pretty nice, and as I looked in that direction, I saw Ju Noeul sitting at the poolside restaurant. Kim Jina and Lee Choro were with her.

It was an unexpected combination. I had never seen the three of them together before. Were they close?

I stopped walking back to my room and approached them to chat. It had nothing to do with the quest, but the conversation I had with Ju Noeul the other day was still on my mind.

“Hello. Are you guys eating?”

“Rieul-ssi, hello. Please sit here.”

Kim Jina smiled brightly and offered me a chair, while Lee Chorok and Jo Neoul greeted me silently with their eyes. Since I was already here, I decided to fill my stomach and ordered some food.

However, when I reached their table, the grilled chicken wings and french fries they ordered were almost intact on the table. The three of them were in a serious mood, not even touching the food in front of them.

“Is there something going on?”

“The Hunter Channel is down…….” Ju Noeul answered with an extremely unstable expression.

“What? Really? That’s strange. It was working fine earlier.”

Just a few dozen minutes ago, I checked the Hunter Channel with Choi Cedric and Choi Lona? I tried accessing the Hunter Channel on my phone. It was as Ju Noeul said. No matter how long I waited, I couldn’t even load the homepage of the Hunter Channel.

Other sites worked fine, so it didn’t seem to be a problem with my phone.

“Could it be that the server is crashing?”

Kim Jina shook her head in response to my question, “That’s impossible. The Hunter Channel uses the ether to communicate so that Hunters can access it in any situation, even in a dungeon. Ether ores are installed at regular intervals all over the country, so it’s pretty stable.”

Wow, that site used a lot more advanced technology than I thought…….

“Huhu, I have to check the dungeon plant tool, it’s a big deal.” Lee Chorok muttered anxiously.

“The Hunter Channel suddenly stopped working, so we were all trying to figure out the cause…….” Ju Noeul looked very distressed as well.

Why did the Hunter Channel, which was working fine until just a moment ago, suddenly stop working?

I suddenly remembered Joo Shinhee’s words about how all the duck boats were broken. It probably had nothing to do with this situation, but somehow I felt uneasy. I spoke in an uncertain tone.

“That ether ore thing. Is there any chance it could have broken?”

Kim Jina frowned as if she was organizing her thoughts and answered, “The probability of that is low. It’s an object that can’t usually be broken by human strength, and there’s no reason for a Hunter to break it. If there had been a rift, it might be possible, but there haven’t been any reports of that … Hmm.…”

“Maybe we just don’t know it…..”

Kim Jina nodded at Ju Noeul’s words.

“That’s right. I can’t think of any other causes, so I’ll check the ether ore around here for now.”

At that moment, the onion rings I had ordered arrived. I placed my phone on the table and then picked up a piece of onion ring.

“Have you been to Gangneung Natural Monster Ranch by any chance…?” Ju Noeul asked, pointing to my phone case. I had bought it at the ranch souvenir shop earlier.

“Oh, that’s right. It was a nice place. Have you ever been there?”

“That ranch is great! The owner, the Mr. Tamer, always submits the paperworks on time, and you can get detailed information about the monster’s growth rate according to changes in the ether concentration of the soil. They’ve been very helpful in researching the environment inside the dungeon.” Kim Jina’s eyes sparkled.

“I supply Green Dungeon Clover to that ranch. It’s a dungeon plant used as monster feed, and it’s very cute and lovely, plus easy to cultivate, so I recommend it as an introductory dungeon plant for beginners.” This time, Lee Chorok explained a dungeon plant in a lively voice.

Ah. Now I could see what they had in common.

These three people were each an otaku of something. Even though they only talked about their own areas of interest, the conversation flowed naturally.

And a wistful look crossed Ju Noeul’s face, as she seemed to drift back to a distant memory.

“That day eight years ago, I went there…….”
