“It’s a worldwide protest…”
WDSO Headquarters Support Director’s Office.
Upon hearing the news of the current overseas situation, Director Lee Doo-sik groaned with his arms crossed.
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
“Who says not?”
Director Lee Ah-young shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“Junwoo, have you ever told that guy?”
“…Oh yes what.”
As soon as his name came up, Director Lee Ah-young suddenly averted his gaze and hesitated.
For a moment, Director Lee Du-sik looked at this with a puzzled expression.
“…You’re not helping me?”
“I don’t know. Well… I’m the one who will go back anyway.”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young calmly said those words.
Director Lee Du-sik muttered to himself, “Did you know?”
“You have no intention of persuading me? “But you were the closest person to that guy.”
“It’s not that I haven’t tried it.”
“however?”
“….”
I hope Director Lee Ah-young will spare the answer for a moment.
“Oh, I don’t know. “I guess you’ll figure it out.”
He avoided answering and turned his head.
For some reason, I could see his flushed cheeks in the vague profile.
Director Lee Du-sik looked at her blankly and leaned against the backrest.
“Is that why you called me? “Nottang, who is just enjoying his retirement life because he won’t help?”
“…You only watch TV at home anyway.”
“…It’s because I’m binge-watching dramas.”
“You know I pay a monthly flat fee, right?”
“…For an attitude of asking for help, this is quite shameful.”
Director Lee Du-sik glanced at her with a disapproving expression.
However, my daughter’s reaction, which was unusual for a moment, seemed very amusing, so I smiled.
“Well, I tried to help anyway. The issue is bigger than I thought. “The board of directors said they would take action on a large scale… and above all, President Cho said he would respond actively.”
“The president is also stepping forward?”
“I guess it’s just those people. It seems like the WDSO branches are pretty excited too. We are also actively supporting the dispatch of relief supplies and rescue teams.”
“Now that I think about it, Director Ha also said he would do his best to support recovery.”
“When persuading people, it is more effective to show actions rather than words.”
Director Lee Du-sik continued speaking in a low voice.
“Of course… it would be best for Kim Jun-woo to step forward himself.”
And then I looked into space.
“Is there anything else I can do? “I have to get used to empty seats from now on.”
“….”
“Why are you upset?”
When asked that question, Director Lee Ah-young nodded slightly.
Then Director Lee Du-sik continued speaking in a very serious voice.
“It’s all like that. When the person you thought would be by your side for the rest of your life suddenly leaves, you feel sad and angry. … It feels like it’s my fault.”
“…Are you talking about your mom?”
Director Lee Du-sik smiled instead of answering.
Director Lee Ah-young had a mysterious expression on his face, as if his mind was quite complicated.
“Still, I had fun. Honestly, if it weren’t for Kim Jun-woo, neither you nor I would have made it this far in our association life.”
“…Dad benefited a lot from me.”
“Aren’t you?”
“I think I’ve come up with my own skills.”
“under! “If you can’t even talk…”
The father and daughter laughed while chatting casually.
But even for a moment.
“I’m going to get bored.”
“….”
The two people shifted their gaze to different places.
There was an unexpected silence in the office.
“Ugh, I have to go.”
Director Lee Doo-sik stood up first, as if he was feeling a bit sore.
“Are you going already?”
“What are you doing with more? “You should do your daughter a favor.”
That was when I was about to leave the office.
“Ah, I’m just asking just in case…”
A thought suddenly occurred to me, so I turned my head again and looked at Director Lee Ah-young.
“You didn’t confess to Kim Jun-woo, did you?”
“…!”
At the same time, Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes widened.
“How did you do that…! No, more than that… did you know?!”
“Hey man. Even though I am like this, I am the one who raised you for 30 years. “Are you afraid you don’t even know that?”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young pursed her lips with a bright red face, as if she had been caught in the dark.
“Well… looking at your reaction, it looks like you’ve already hit it.”
“….”
“Did you hear the answer?”
“…no.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. “It was a car. It was a car.”
“Oh please!!”
Director Lee Ah-young screamed out loud, but Director Lee Doo-sik had already left the office in a hurry.
Soon, Director Lee Ah-young slumped into his chair. And then he let out a deep sigh.
“I’m crazy, what on earth should I do?…”
That was when my face got hot at the thought that came to mind again.
smart-.
Someone came in, knocking on the half-open office door.
That person is none other than that.
“What’s going on…?”
It was Moon So-yeon, a member of Cleaning Team 3.
“Oh no. “Nothing happened… What happened so suddenly?”
The cleaning team belonging to the Planning Headquarters rarely came to the Support Headquarters, so they asked with a quite puzzled expression.
Then Moon So-yeon asked back with a more puzzled expression.
“If you’re going to leave now, I thought I’d go with you. Minju and Yubin are going first. “Do you still have work left?”
“…yes? “Where are you going today?”
“Where is it! You said you wanted to have a company dinner today. Of course, you should come too.”
Only then did Director Lee Ah-young clap his hands.
Come to think of it, it was like that.
Director Lee Ah-young first checked his watch.
And after holding back on answering for a while.
“…The work is finished. let’s go together.”
I smiled and got up from my seat.
***
“Hey Sanghyuk….”
We made a reservation at a meat restaurant for a company dinner.
As soon as he arrived, Manager Park Geun-tae called out to Han Sang-hyuk in a dumbfounded voice.
“Did you happen to have a dinner with another team today?”
“…I didn’t hear anything like that.”
The two men froze and blinked at the scene unfolding in the store.
As expected, I made a reservation for 3 cleaning teams and the number of general managers.
“Ah, Manager Park is here!”
“Please sit here!”
“Hey hey! “Please leave some space there!”
Employees from the operations and support teams.
Pyeon Chang-hyeon, control team leader.
And even guild leaders Cha Seok-hyun and Yoo Ji-woo.
For some reason, the entire store was filled with familiar faces.
“I called you.”
At that time, Director Kim Min-ju greeted the two people and said,
“We’ve had a big day, but I wanted everyone to come together at least once.”
“Is that so?”
“Don’t worry about the dinner cost. “Because I brought a corporate card.”
Director Yubin Han also raised the corner of his mouth as he said a word.
Managers Park Geun-tae and Han Sang-hyuk sat down under Kim Min-ju’s guidance, still with puzzled expressions on their faces.
And at the same time.
“Would you like a drink?”
“Oh my, thank you.”
The leader of Operation Team 1, who was sitting next to him, immediately handed him a drink.
“Thank you. “It must be difficult because there is a lot of work, but we are grateful that you handled it without delay.”
“haha! We’re just working according to our schedule. “The real hard work is done by the operations team.”
“Where is that thanks to us? “It’s all possible thanks to the help of the surrounding teams.”
The leader of Operation Team 1 said.
Director Park Geun-tae couldn’t hide his smile when he heard those words.
Then Song Hye-yeon, deputy director of the support team who was sitting across from us, intervened.
“Why do you leave out the story about our team? “There were over 100 requests for weapon maintenance yesterday and today.”
“Ahaha, there are so many dungeons that were pushed back after the war… I’m sorry.”
Deputy Chief Song Hye-yeon smiled at the apology from the Operation Team 1 leader.
He then spoke to Moon So-yeon, who was sitting next to him.
“Is the cleaning team’s equipment still okay? “If you need anything, let me know anytime.”
“One of the plasma cutters was broken…”
“Oh, that can’t be repaired right away… I’ll say it above first. In the meantime, I will send you other equipment.”
“Really?! thank you!”
“What with something like this?”
The two women said that and clinked their glasses together.
“So, I heard they’ll be hiring new cleaning team members soon?”
Control team leader Pyeon Chang-hyeon, who was watching the scene, quietly asked Han Sang-hyuk.
“Ah yes. Well… I heard our manager has already approved it.”
“Looking at your expression, I don’t think you’re very happy?”
“It is my responsibility to educate new employees.”
“Ah…”
Team leader Pyeon Chang-hyeon sighed at Han Sang-hyuk’s words.
“If you train them hard, half of them will stand out because it is difficult, and half of them will not be able to complete the training even for a month… Afterwards, there will only be one or two left.”
“ha ha ha! “That really hits home.”
“In this case, I think it would be easier not to receive it.”
Han Sang-hyuk clicked his tongue and poured out his drink.
“Is everything okay with the control team?”
“Oh, why not? I heard that starting next month, all dungeons around the world will be managed by dividing them into domestic and overseas parts… That’s easier said than done…” The
two men shook their heads and each took a sip of their drink.
There was no noble person, rank, or level in that position.
There were only people who had a hard time today, grumbling, cursing, and laughing in the same way.
At that time, the atmosphere of the company dinner gradually became more mature.
“Oh! “Why isn’t Junwoo coming?”
“Oh really?”
The three members of the cleaning team, including Manager Park Geun-tae, remembered a person they had forgotten.
But at the same time.
“….”
“….”
“….”
The expressions of the headquarters managers suddenly hardened.
Director Park Geun-tae looked at them and asked.
“I can’t believe no one contacted me…”
“No, I did contact them.”
Then Kim Min-ju shook his head and said.
“But… you probably won’t be able to come.”
With those words, the eyes of the three general managers turned to the outside of the store.
“…What does that mean?”
“Hey, is there anything the main character can’t come up with? “Is this guy pretending to be expensive just because he’s the Secretary General?”
“Are you busy with work?”
However, Manager Park Geun-tae and other cleaning team members did not understand what that meant.
“I thought you were going somewhere far…”
Kim Min-joo trailed off in a low voice.
The three general managers kept their mouths shut.
For some reason, it was a time when silence continued with an unusual expression.
Kim Min-ju opened his mouth again with a smile, as if he didn’t want to ruin the mood.
“For now, let’s not wait and play among ourselves. I probably won’t see you for a while…”
“Whose will it be?”
And then.
“…!”
“…What what?!”
Former member of the dungeon cleaning team.
A man entrusted with being the head of the Operations Division of the Supernatural Dimension Management Association and the CEO of Karma Corporation.
And the current Secretary General of WDSO… The protagonist of this place.
Kim Jun-woo appeared there.
“Mr. Seo…?”
“How did you get here?!”
Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin asked in shock at his appearance.
“Well, I think I have some time left.”
Kim Jun-woo took a deep breath and wiped his sweat.
From the looks of it, it seemed like he ran in quite a hurry.
Everyone looked very surprised, but Director Lee Ah-young remained completely frozen in place, almost as if he had seen a ghost.
“Come on, you could have come anyway!”
However, Manager Park Geun-tae, who had no idea what was going on, got up and approached him. Then he held out a spoon and said:
“First of all, since I’m the main character, I have to give a toast!”
“….”
When Kim Jun-woo accepted the spoon, everyone sitting in the store applauded.
Kim Jun-woo looked at the spoon and hesitated for a moment.
“Well, actually, I wasn’t planning on coming…”
I started off with those words.
“I thought it would be polite to talk to you in person…”
He said and first turned his attention to the three cleaning team members, including Manager Park Geun-tae.
“First, the three cleaning team members.”
“Huh?”
“we…?”
“I have learned a lot from my first day at work until now. thank you.”
“Hey, what did we teach you?” ha ha ha!”
“Why is that bastard like that? “It’s strange…”
The 3 cleaning team members reacted exaggeratedly with embarrassed expressions to the sudden serious atmosphere. And Kim Jun-woo looked away again.
“Han Yu-bin.”
A real Berserker class from the International Association.
At the same time, Kim Jun-woo’s problem solver and current head of the planning department.
I opened my mouth towards her.
“It’s been a lot of hard work taking care of all kinds of chores.”
“…I just need to know.”
“Honestly, it made me feel a lot more comfortable. “I’m still dizzy, wondering what would have happened if I had failed it during the interview.”
Han Yu-bin burst out laughing as if she was shocked by those words. And then Kim Jun-woo’s eyes landed on the person next to him.
“Kim Min-joo.”
“….”
In just four years, he went from being a B-class hunter to being ranked first in the country and ranked first in the world’s swordsman class.
The 6th SS ranker in the world.
Current head of WDSO operations headquarters and student of Kim Jun-woo.
Kim Jun-woo looked at her and said just one word.
“Good job.”
“….”
That one word that encapsulates everything.
At those words, Minjoo Kim lowered his head.
“And… Lee Ah-young.”
Finally, the final turn arrived.
When the two people’s eyes met, Lee Ah-young’s pupils began to shake significantly.
An expression that looks like tears will fall at any moment if you touch it.
She bit her quivering lips tightly.
“Chloe takes responsibility for not being able to go to the dinner party thanks to you.”
“…yes?”
That very unexpected sound brought tears to my eyes.
Kim Jun-woo nodded at her, who was making a puzzled expression as if asking what she was talking about.
“Look outside.”
With those words, Kim Jun-woo turned his back and everyone, including General Manager Lee A-young, turned to the outside of the store.
And soon.
bang-!
Burbububbang-!!
A loud explosion sounded and yellow flames rose into the sky.
In the eyes of others, it was just a flashy firework.
“You can’t believe it….”
Director Lee Ah-young immediately realized what that meant and looked at Kim Jun-woo with trembling eyes.
He smiled without saying anything.
