How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 302
314. Let’s Party 1
Hind Village Adventurer Branch.
There, in the innermost branch manager’s office, Investigator Matiana and Branch Manager Liwen were having a meeting.
Horok.
Branch manager Liwen brought the teacup to his lips.
This tea is an extravagant, high-end brand tea that is grown only in the southern part and is equivalent to several months’ wages of union employees.
“Matiana-sama, I heard that the construction of the Magic Association has recently been completed.”
“….”
“But why don’t you hold a completion ceremony?”
With Matiana’s efforts, the construction of the Hind branch of the Magic Association was completed, but she was somehow delaying the completion ceremony of the Association.
“Shall I guess? Isn’t it because the person in charge isn’t there?”
“…!”
In order for the Magic Association to be certified, the completion ceremony must be held under the leadership of the person in charge.
However, the Hind branch could not hold the completion ceremony because Kang Seung-hyeon, the person in charge of the association, was absent.
“Looking at the lack of news like this, it seems like something happened. Shouldn’t we hire a new person in charge?”
“Shut up! You will be back soon!”
Matiana shuddered and shouted,
‘Wait a hundred days. How can someone who is already dead come back?’
Branch manager Liwen giggled and laughed.
‘From my point of view, not having a Magic Association at all is the biggest benefit, but there’s nothing wrong with putting the person in charge as my person.’
I’m glad that the unlucky Kang Seung-hyun disappeared, but Liwen naturally laughed at the thought of receiving money from the association manager.
‘ah! Seunghyun Kang! Where the hell are you? I’ve built that association!’
Matiana, on the other hand, was to die for.
If Kang Seung-hyeon didn’t show up at this rate, the Magic Association, which he had worked so hard to create, would be taken away from Liwen’s branch manager.
‘Ho, perhaps that bastard did something to Kang Seung-hyun?’
What I was most worried about was Kang Seung-hyun’s safety.
Quite a bit of time had passed since he left the village saying he would make a request, but there was no contact or anything.
‘I made a mistake… The Adventurers’ Guild are vicious bastards who do everything possible!’
No matter how strong you are, a VVIP is a VVIP.
Even if I couldn’t follow him directly, I should have attached a bodyguard.
‘Still, since Kang Seung-hyun is amazing… there won’t be any problems. But!’
It was then.
smart smart
“Director Liwen.”
With the sound of knocking, a union employee entered the room.
“what? Can’t you see I’m busy right now?”
“That’s it, the branch manager’s representative came from the Charon branch. He said he came to see me personally because he had something to tell him urgently.”
“At the Charon branch?”
Although he is a parachute Liwen, who is the truth to everyone, he is polite to high-ranking people such as the branch manager or association manager.
“You keep such an important person waiting? Bring it quickly!”
“He is behind you.”
“Yumma, you should have said that earlier!”
“Hmm, I’m Rodel, who’s acting as the head of the Karon branch.”
Rodel, who had followed the union staff, entered the room.
“Oh, nice to meet you. So what’s going on with our branch?”
“The news is a little late because there is something urgent, but this time the Charon branch has taken on a rather great request.”
“I just heard the news.”
Even Liwen, who always plays and eats, knew at least that the Karon branch was extremely busy.
“In this quest, I received tremendous help from a great adventurer, but unfortunately he lost his life in the process.”
“Did you lose your life?”
“Yes, we need to investigate the details, but it seems to have been an accident.”
Rodel said with wet eyes.
“So I want to repay the favor somehow, but my identity is still unclear. Then, an item from the Hind Village came out from his belongings…”
“The Hind Village?”
“I was wondering if it would be possible to identify the Hind branch. To describe his appearance, he is a dark-haired man wearing a white coat and black shirt.”
The moment Rodel said that, the two of them were happy.
“What did you say?”
“Is that true?”
“yes. He was a very neat person.”
Matiana was shocked, but Liwen smiled brightly without hiding his laughter.
‘ah!!!! Seunghyun Kang!!!’
‘You’re right! It’s Kang Seung-hyun!’
That’s because there is only one man in Hind Village with that kind of fashion.
“That friend must be someone I know well.”
“Do you know who it is?”
“Adventurer Kang Seung-hyun. Undoubtedly!”
“okay. I will send the body soon, so please identify it.”
“As much as you like. We will check it 100 times!”
“That can’t be! Kang Seung-Hyun-nim could have died…”
“Matiana-nim, your heart will hurt, but you have to accept the reality.”
Branch manager Liwen laughed at Matiana with a giggle.
Rodel, who glanced at it, opened his mouth.
“Ah, while verifying his identity, I want to hold his funeral in Hind Village…”
“Funeral! Don’t worry! Adventurer Kang Seung-hyun is a very famous friend. The funeral expenses will be covered in full by our branch.”
“Full payment?”
“Because I also received a lot of grace from that friend. Of course, the Hind Village should be in charge!”
Is money a logarithm?
I heard that the bloody crook is dead, so let’s throw a party.
“I can’t thank you so much… Then we’ll send dispatched staff to the Hind branch!”
Rodel, who seemed very moved, smiled and handed out the contract.
“All staff-related expenses will be covered by the Charon branch, so feel free to use them!”
“Hahahaha, this is rather an honor. I can borrow talented staff from the Karon branch for free!”
Branch manager Li Wen smiled and signed the contract.
With this, the Hind branch must hire Karon dispatched staff unconditionally instead of using them for free.
‘I’m overjoyed that Kang Seung-hyeon died, but Karon even lends me an employee for free!’
what kind of bullshit is this
Liwen smiled and started counting the money.
‘If we put dispatched staff in, we can lay off 20% of the current staff!’
Hiring costs can be saved by reducing the number of existing employees and filling the positions with Karon dispatched employees.
The money thus saved goes straight into Liwen’s pocket.
“Mrs. Kang Seung-hyun…”
“Matiana, it would be better to hold the Magic Association completion ceremony on the day of Adventurer Kang Seung-hyun’s funeral.”
“That can’t be…!”
“Hot hot hot hot! I’ll find a new person in charge, so don’t worry about that.”
Branch manager Liwen left the frustrated Matiana and left with a good laugh.
– And after a while.
“Have fun! All expenses are paid for by the adventurer’s guild, so food and souvenirs are all free!”
“Let’s all pray for the deceased’s soul!”
Kang Seung-hyun’s funeral began under the leadership of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“what? Kang Seung-hyun passed away?”
“Nonsense…”
“Hey Healer? Are you kidding?”
The villagers were in great shock.
That’s because everyone has been treated by Kang Seung-hyun at least once.
“He’s a righteous person who will never exist again…”
“What the hell happened?”
Will, who healed his brother’s hand last time with Kang Seung-hyun’s help, and Ruth, who repaired his leg, were also shocked to hear the news.
“I heard Mr. Kang passed away…”
Julia, the inn employee, was in a state of exhaustion after crying.
“Does this make sense?”
“That friend died…?”
“This is obviously nonsense! Why is the teacher dying?”
“I couldn’t even help you, but you died!”
“I’m a healer teacher!!!”
Among those who heard the news and came to visit were the Camar Knights and the Catailer Knights.
“Sheesh…”
“You must be kidding, right? right?”
“Accident or death? is that crazy guy? Nonsense. There must be something.”
Le Penny and Nickel of the Red Road gang, who are now members of the Katyler Knights.
“Healer Kang Seung-hyun’s funeral… is it real?”
“I… I don’t know.”
“I honestly don’t believe it. I’d have to ask someone who knows, but I can’t see Kim Ho-jung’s tank!”
“Everyone be quiet. It’s noisy, but it’s a funeral home, so you have to be polite.”
Professor Tansel of the Crimson Mage’s Tower and Shuire Rizei
“What happened… Did Healer really die?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t think he was going to be that easy.”
“You don’t know what. There is no order to where you go.”
“Master…”
“Did I say something wrong?”
Tracotti’s Rebecca and Masen’s branch head puppeteer Harvey and Ziggs.
After all, people who had a relationship with Kang Seung-hyeon visited Hind Village as mourners.
“I heard that the adventurer Kang Seung-hyun died?”
“Who is that?”
“I don’t know. From what I heard, he was an adventurer who died after saving the Karon branch manager.”
Most of the adventurers in the village didn’t feel particularly sad because they didn’t have a special relationship with Kang Seung-hyeon, but he said,
“But did you originally make a funeral like this? What is this cheerful song?”
“Honestly, it’s more like a festival than a funeral, right?”
“I heard that it also serves as the completion ceremony of the Magic Association, so the Adventurers Guild prepared luxuriously.”
“The funeral is a bonus, then.”
I was puzzled when I saw a scene far from a funeral, such as fancy decorations, expensive food, and an invitation to a famous bard all over Hind Village.
“You have suffered a lot. Branch manager.”
“no. The church members did all the hard work.”
Among them, Branch Manager Li Wen and Bishop Langsua had a private conversation while drinking wine.
“With this, the Magic Association has been handed over to the Adventurer Guild, so the Ayber Church can rest assured.”
“I will trust you in the future.”
This is because the Hind branch of the Church of Ayber was also very happy with Kang Seung-hyun’s death, investing huge amounts of money in a celebration party held under the pretext of Kang Seung-hyun’s funeral.
‘Kang Seung-hyun is dead?’
‘No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense.’
However, Carnil, the head of the priesthood, and McCoy, Liwen’s closest aide, looked very uncomfortable.
‘A human who dies so easily.’
‘I mean no.’
Although they had this uneasiness, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut because neither of them had the right to speak.
“I am from the Charon branch.”
“This… is the coffin where the deceased is asleep.”
In the meantime, employees dispatched from the Karon branch arrived at Hind Village carrying fancy bonuses.
“You are here! I was waiting for you!”
“Director Li Wen, please verify the identity of the deceased.”
“Of course!”
Branch manager Li Wen jumped up from his seat and ran toward the coffin.
Then he began to speak condescendingly.
“In fact, adventurer Kang Seung-hyun was scheduled to hold the completion ceremony as the head of the Hind branch of the Honorable Magic Association… but passed away due to an unexpected accident.”
“A person in charge of the Magic Association?”
“Were you a wizard? Was healing a hobby?”
“Even though he left, our Adventurers Guild has recruited a new person in charge to inherit his will!”
“My name is Jason Wicca. Nice to meet you.”
Next, he introduced the corrupt wizard he had brought in through personal connections and bribes, and approached the lavishly decorated coffin.
“So, as soon as we send adventurer Kang Seung-hyun away, we begin the Magic Association completion ceremony!”
At the same time, the invited wizards set off a splendid firecracker magic, and Liwen smiled and opened the coffin lid.
“Can you recognize him?”
“Sure. Whoever sees it, it’s a strong victory…”
Liwen’s face hardened as he checked the coffin.
It was certain that a corpse was lying in the coffin, wearing a white coat, black hair and a black shirt.
“Who is this?”
But it wasn’t Kang Seung-hyun.
The physique, the color of the skin, and the face itself were different in the first place.
It was just a matter of picking up any corpse and putting Kang Seung-hyun’s clothes on it.
“Isn’t that Kang Seung-hyun? What happened to this…”
“Didn’t you ever say that Kang Seung-hyeon was inside it? You just guessed it.”
“…this voice!”
“Because the real Kang Seung-hyun is…”
One of the staff who brought the coffin took off his hat.
Then, black hair was revealed and Kang Seung-hyun, smiling brightly, appeared.
“Because I am here.”
And so the surprise party began.
