The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 21

It was truly shocking news.
Just five days after the joint project ended, a large-scale personnel reassignment took place in Operation Team 2.
Most of the BC team that had been excluded from the operation during the subjugation were transferred to the Gyeonggi branch, and some of them were transferred to the Ulleungdo branch.
In words, it’s just a personnel appointment, but in reality, it’s at the level of a complete reshuffling of the second team.
Even I thought that a single disciplinary measure was too excessive, but…
‘Well, how can I know what the higher-ups are thinking?’
What happens to those guys doesn’t really matter to me.
Actually, there was something else that was more shocking than that.
「The following disciplinary action will be taken against Team Leader Lim Dong-bin of Operation Team 2.」
「Rank registration cancelled」
Lim Dong-bin is also a ranked hunter from the Operation Team.
Deleting the hunter rank meant the same thing as depriving a hunter of his or her qualifications.
Of course, I did not touch the position of team leader.
Although he no longer has the qualifications for subjugation, there is no problem in running the team and planning operations as a team leader. Formally, he can remain in the team leader position.
‘But what… there can still be words left.’
Now, who would treat someone who is not even a hunter as a team leader?
Rather, would Lim Dong-bin himself want to remain after being treated like that?
Team Leader Lim Dong-bin’s resignation was in fact a set procedure.
And in the vacant position of Operation 2 Team Leader…
“Sister! congratulation!”
“Hey~ I knew our Hunter would end up like this!”
“Sister, can I brag to those around me? “You know the operations team leader?”
Kim Min-ju stepped up.
“He’s the youngest team leader. The color is nice. congratulations.”
“Everyone… thank you.”
Operation Team 2 office.
When the small bouquet of flowers was presented to her, Kim Min-ju looked unusually moved.
“Sister, are you crying?!”
“Oh no. Because of the pollen…”
Sorry, but that’s artificial flowers.
From the looks of it, it looks like we were the only ones who congratulated us.
“Actually, I should have looked for you first, but I was distracted too… I’m sorry.”
“No no! “It’s nice for us to look around the office.”
“So, you are the leader here now?”
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re the operations team leader. Hey… I’m on the same level as Team Leader Lee Soo-yong!”
“That’s not it. “Even if they are in the same position, their seniority is completely different.”
Minju Kim smiled shyly.
He then led us to a small table set up inside the office.
“Please sit here for now. “I’ll bring some tea.”
Minju Kim put water in the coffee pot.
As the head of the operations team who personally serves tea to the cleaning team…
this is something I couldn’t have even dreamed of even a month ago.
“Isn’t the office a bit empty? “It’s a little messy because it hasn’t been cleaned up yet.”
As the team members continued to look around the office, Minju Kim spoke as if she had no shame.
“Well, with that many people missing at once, there’s nothing we can do. “How many people did you say left?”
“Seventeen people. In fact, this is the team that was put out. “But I think they passed it on to me because they couldn’t blow it up.”
“If humility goes too far, it becomes deception. No matter how small a team is, I don’t think anyone can be the team leader. “It’s okay to be a little proud because you’ve received that much recognition.”
“…thank you.”
Minju Kim blushed.
Even if you are unlucky enough to take over a team that was almost completely destroyed, the team leader is still the team leader.
A place where you can move the hunters on your team with just one finger.
Of course, there are a ridiculously small number of people compared to other teams.
But in other words, she, who was just a hunter just a few days ago, now has 17 people.
‘I, too, became a team leader when I turned 30…’
For some reason, my lower abdomen started to hurt.
“Honestly, I didn’t do anything. It’s all thanks to the teacher. “Well, even though I’m the team leader… in the end, it’s the same as your team.”
“Hey… even if you are like that, don’t say that to your teammates.”
“why?”
Kim Min-ju tilted his head.
Are you asking because you honestly don’t know?
“I heard that my team is like a scavenger team. What kind of hunter would like that? “I almost lost the whole team because of me…”
“He liked it.”
“…what?”
That moment when I thought what a ridiculous answer this was.
“I’m back!”
“They said the subjugation of Gyodae was a bit late, so we came first.”
“I am hungry. “Team leader, how about delivery for lunch today?”
Just then, the door burst open and several hunters entered the office. Looking at their faces, they are the guys from Team A that we encountered during the subjugation.
“great job. “Please submit the subjugation report by tomorrow.”
“yes!”
“Oh, and the cleaning team is here, so let’s say hello to everyone.”
“The cleaning team…?”
“Is the cleaning team here?!”
Eventually, the team members’ eyes turned to us.
“hello! “This is Lee Jin-ho of Operation Team 2!”
“Thank you for your hard work during the last operation! “This is Choi Jong-hoon from Operation Team 2!”
“This is Hong Ji-yeon. i look forward to!”
Everyone’s waists folded in unison.
“Oh, hello… My name is Moon So-yeon….”
“This is Han Sang-hyuk. We also… Well, please take care of us. Hahaha….”
Contrary to the strategy team’s momentum, Moon So-yeon and Han Sang-hyuk appeared in the dark. It still seems quite awkward to be greeted by the operations team.
“Please think of us as a team and treat us comfortably.”
“Oh, and if there’s anything we can do to help, please let us know!”
“Well… if the other team members are rude or make fun of the dungeon like last time, we’ll go and just…!”
Moon So-yeon laughed at the gesture of cutting her throat with the blade of her hand and sticking out her tongue at the same time.
With that as an opportunity, various conversations gradually took place between the two teams.
Really smiling faces.
I lowered my voice and slowly opened my mouth to Minju Kim.
“Did you… hit the kids?”
“no.”
“But why is it in such a state?”
“Are you sure?”
“….”
It’s only been a short time since you were a team leader, but you’ve already gone through a lot of hardships.
How come the guys on the team are so sick of it?
“Anyway, now the headquarters won’t be able to easily touch the cleaning team. For the time being, you can just focus on cleaning. “I will take care of the obstructionists.”
“Should I say thank you for that?”
Just focus on cleaning.
Those scary words gave me a slight goosebump.
But what…
‘It’s just like my team…’
It’s a good thing for us that all the people who looked down on the cleaning team have flown away and only those who are favorable to the cleaning team are left. Besides, isn’t the team leader Kim Min-ju?
If you can use all of them here, unlocking them in the future will be much easier.
‘Well, I guess I can go a little bolder from now on.’
Kim Min-ju, you bastard…
I think you’ve finally gotten to the point where you can use it as a tool.
“Anyway, it’s almost time for you to come…”
At that time, Minju Kim looked at the clock and said.
“Who else is coming?”
“The support team said an aide would come today. “They call me team leader.”
“Oh, I guess so. “I’m a proper team leader now.”
An exclusive aide assigned only to the operations team leader.
This was the part where I realized that this guy had really become the team leader.
‘As an aide… Well, I also received a lot of help when I was the team leader.’
As I thought about that, a face suddenly appeared in my mind.
Chief Lee Ah-young, who was my exclusive aide during my active duty days.
The only employee who was with me on the day I died, and by far the longest-serving colleague in the association.
‘Now that I think about it, this time of year is when Director Lee is also at the association…’
Was he part of the support team’s hunter management office?
But our team has no interaction with that team at all, so it would be difficult for us to run into each other even by chance.
Or perhaps…
“…Hey, by any chance is the aide coming today? “What’s your name?”
“I don’t know yet. “Because they didn’t tell me anything about their personal information.”
“OK got it.”
I quenched my appetite.
Okay, so what can I do if you ask me?
Even if we meet, there’s nothing we can talk about, and there’s no way this director will recognize me.
“A guest like this is coming. I have to go before that!” “Let’s all get up.”
Team Leader Park stood up and said.
At the same time, the team members also stood up.
“Oh no. You don’t have to leave your seat…”
“You can’t interfere with the team leader’s work. “We also have to go to the next task soon… so I’ll leave now.”
“Goodbye!”
“Please come visit again. “You’re welcome anytime!”
“We’ll see you next time!”
I turned my back, still receiving cheerful greetings from the operation team members.
The moment you open the office door.
“ah…!”
I encountered a woman with a young face.
A very surprised expression.
From the looks of it, it seemed to be Kim Min-ju’s aide who was said to be arriving soon.
I looked at her face quietly, just in case…
“Oh, hello! “My name is Song Hye-yeon, a member of the support team who will be assisting team leader Kim Min-ju this time!”
First time hearing this name.
…It wasn’t like that either.
“Oh, you’re here. nice to meet you. But Kim Min-ju is not him, it’s me…”
“Oh, huh? ah! Sorry! “I’ve only recently joined the company…”
Assistant Song Hye-yeon’s cheeks turned red.
Of course, I didn’t care anymore, so I passed her by indifferently.
“…Then we’ll be leaving.”
“yes. Please go in carefully.”
I left the office, lightly greeting Kim Min-ju.
He was trying hard to hide his regret.
***
Hunter Support Team Hunter Management Office.
A place to manage information on all hunters within the association and analyze their status and necessary support.
“Haa….”
Song Hye-yeon returned to the office after her first day of work and let out a long sigh.
I became an assistant to the operations team leader just two months after joining the association. Even though it was too much, it couldn’t have been too much.
Since everything was a series of tensions, it was natural to feel tired all at once.
“What’s wrong, Hyeyeon? “Was your boss worse than you thought?”
“Ah, Deputy Director.”
At that time, a woman with short hair approached Song Hye-yeon.
Lee A-young, Deputy Director of the Support Team Hunter Management Department.
An incredibly talented person who rose to that position in an instant despite his young age.
Moreover, he has such a beautiful and alluring appearance that even a woman would fall in love with him.
For newcomer Song Hye-yeon, he was someone who could be called a role model.
“It’s not like that. “He’s a nicer person than I thought, but… I guess I was too nervous.”
“okay? That’s a good thing. Did you say team leader Kim Min-ju? You said you were in charge of a team that was about to collapse? “Unfortunately.”
“yes that’s right. Well… I guess it definitely went beyond the director’s eyes. “It’s enough to hire a newbie like me as an aide.”
Deputy Director Lee Ah-young smiled.
“You don’t know much yet. “The fact that Seo Min-cheol is not paying attention to the association means that he is doing a good job.”
“…no way. “Where is that?”
“Are you sure?”
It was an expression that made it impossible to tell whether he was joking or serious.
Aide Song Hye-yeon pouted her mouth.
“Anyway, keep doing your best from now on. I heard that the team leader is very close with the cleaning lady who is the president of the association. “The name was… Kim Jun-woo.”
“ah…. “I already ran into him once today.”
Assistant Song Hye-yeon narrowed her eyebrows slightly and said.
The reason I didn’t feel very good about glaring at people’s faces for the first time was because I felt like they were ignoring me just because they were new.
“Do you know anything? “If Hyeyeon looks good, she might join Kim Junwoo’s line.”
“Oh, I don’t like that kind of thing. High-ranking people only think about themselves. “The things below don’t even look like humans… unlucky.”
“Hmm, aside from that, the cleaning team seems to be working pretty hard. “Last time, I received the budget and scolded those who ignored the cleaning team.”
“It’s all about image management.”
“…okay?”
“sure! “Now you’re just pretending to help me out of concern for your image. If there’s even the slightest problem, you’re going to kick me out right away. You can bet.”
Song Hye-yeon spoke with a confident voice.
Nevertheless, for some reason, Deputy Director Lee Ah-young began to become more interested in the cleaner.
