The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 343
344.
344. Side Story After Episode 1
“Today’s schedule.”
WDSO Secretary General’s Office.
As soon as I got to work, Chief of Staff Shin Soo-ji handed me a heavy document.
“For lunch, there will be a meal with the president of the National Byproduct Treatment Facilities Association, and at 14:00 there will be a meeting with Ha Seong-il, chairman of Hanbyul Group, and at 16:00 there will be an East Asia second-half subjugation settlement meeting. “I think you can check the relevant documents here.”
“oh. “For some reason, it’s a bit loose today.”
“no. At 18:00 there will be a press conference regarding the reorganization of the global subjugation system, and at 19:00 there will be a month-end evaluation of the Seoul Headquarters Operations Team, and from 20:00 there will be a meeting of the Seoul Headquarters Cleaning Team….” “….” I unconsciously made an expression on my face at the never-ending
schedule
. This has hardened.
Director Shin Soo-ji belatedly glanced at me.
“Should we postpone the operation team and cleaning team meeting to next week…?”
I was tempted by the suggestion to adjust the schedule, but I quickly shook my head.
“no. “Anyway, it’s better to do what needs to be done quickly.”
“All right. Then, I will prepare it according to the schedule.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Director Shin Soo-ji soon left the office with a light bow.
At the same time, I twirled my pen and let out a light sigh.
It’s already been a year since Secretary General Wesley’s International Hunters Association collapsed.
As the war ended and the international community gradually regained stability, WDSO, which had been in jeopardy from the start, has now established itself as a proper international punitive association.
Well, for the first few months, there was a lot of distrust in the central agency and it was a headache… but the
dissatisfaction was able to be calmed to some extent by revamping the existing system, including the establishment of various safety measures.
President Cho Hyun-min’s speech saying that he would make every effort to prevent similar unpleasant incidents from happening again also played a big role.
Of course, each country also played a big role in recovering war damage and delivering relief supplies.
In the process, Chairman Ha Seong-il, Director Lee Du-sik, and various other personnel helped us both materially and spiritually.
Thanks to this, we are now carrying out our role as an international association without any major problems.
Of course, it’s a shame that my workload has increased so much.
‘Compared to the time when I was only going around subjugating from the time I opened my eyes to the time I closed them…’ I
guess it’s a good thing that my body feels more comfortable.
I put down my papers for a moment and leaned back.
This was because thoughts that had been put aside under the excuse of being busy began to bloom.
As a result, I chose to stay here.
The reasons were complex, and it cannot be denied that emotions were involved to some extent.
But the biggest reason was… the reason I was so obsessed with power while living as a hunter and the reason I achieved my goal here.
okay.
Even though I am not a hunter, I am currently in a higher position than anyone else.
Even if you don’t go out to suppress them directly, there are people you can trust and entrust to them, and all organizations, including the support team and control team, are working in perfect harmony.
As a result, the operational fatality rate in Korea currently stands at 0.
Of course, if you look at the world, there are still many hunters who lose their lives, but it is only a matter of time.
‘….’
As I thought about it, one person suddenly came to mind.
A guy whose face I can’t even remember anymore.
That idiot who didn’t give a shit and said everything he could to Hunter on the topic of new employees.
That guy was dumber than anyone else, but braver than anyone else.
In fact, everything I’ve done so far was started by him.
It would be nice if I could tell him how much things have changed because of that.
‘What…’
I quickly raised the corner of my mouth.
okay.
Now, these are all useless sentiments.
That was when I was organizing my thoughts.
“How is it that no matter how many times I knock, there is no answer? Should I install a doorbell at all?”
A familiar voice entered the office.
“Isn’t it strange that he visits the Secretary General’s office so often instead of his living room?”
“That’s because you’re in the office for less than an hour a day. “If I keep leaving my seat, who will I report to?”
“Why do you need a report from me? “You are now a proper branch manager.”
Head of the Korean branch of WDSO.
It was Lee A-young.
“Well, I just wanted to see your face at least once.”
“….”
What the hell.
“Then, let’s report on what came.”
“Well, there’s nothing special to say.”
“….”
Is this…
a joke?
“Anyway, the important thing is that I would have reported it to Suzy. Well, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any problems… but most of them are things I can solve on my own.”
Her words suddenly reminded me of a past report.
“Oh, by the way, what happened before? “Why… I heard that people have been coming to me for a few days now asking for permission to use bank items.”
“That? well. “I flatly refused every time he came, and now I don’t really notice him.”
“okay. Anyway… why would a civilian need bank items?”
“Why not? People who come to Lee Neung-seok to become hunters, people who lost all their money on coins and ask to be sent to the past… Those are personal reasons.”
“Okay, but I still don’t understand.”
“Well, they say it hurts the most. “Everyone’s job is the hardest.”
Branch manager Lee Ah-young shrugged his shoulders.
I said with a sly smile.
“Is there anything else worth reporting?”
“Ah… Yes, what….”
Branch Manager Lee Ah-young answers awkwardly, avoiding eye contact for some reason.
I looked at him with a puzzled expression, but that only lasted for a moment.
“All right. Well… the international community is becoming more and more stable, so now we should start to slowly reduce it.”
I spit out those words.
WDSO’s ultimate goal and the international community’s long-held wish.
It is none other than being completely liberated from this strange phenomenon.
All the tools for that are ready.
We just have to get ready to go back.
To the time when there were no dungeons or hunters.
“Well, in fact, except for a few countries, there are still places where it is difficult.”
Branch manager Lee Ah-young secretly complained, but I knew it anyway.
“You just have to take it slow.”
“I see.”
Branch manager Lee Ah-young smiled at those words.
“Oh, by the way, the cleaning team is having a company dinner next week. I want to ask if I can attend.”
“I’m not part of the cleaning team, so why am I there…”
“Well, actually, it’s a company dinner, isn’t it just a way to meet each other after a long time?”
…It’s annoying.
“Well, I’ll check the schedule and let you know.”
“is it so.”
After finishing the conversation, I looked at the documents again.
However, Director Lee Ah-young stood still and glanced at me even though he had finished his business.
“…Is there anything else left to say?”
“Do you want to eat dinner tonight?”
“….”
Those unexpected words made me feel dizzy for a moment.
A question that truly cannot distinguish between public and private matters.
I’m saving the answer.
“Well, if you have any plans today.”
“….”
I took a quick glance at the schedule Director Shin Soo-ji had left behind.
“let’s eat.”
He answered as he put the documents into the drawer.
***
“You two are dating?!”
A dungeon near Sadang Station.
Moon So-yeon, who was coming out after finishing the cleaning work, opened her eyes and asked back at the shocking news.
“Didn’t you know?”
“No… it’s been almost a year?”
Then Sanghyuk Han and Manager Geuntae Park looked even more surprised.
“No, you didn’t tell me, how do I know!”
“Just looking at it gave me a strange feeling.”
“I asked directly.”
As the two people chuckled, Moon So-yeon looked shocked.
“Well, everyone, prepare in advance. From what I can see, it looks like wedding invitations will be handed out soon.”
“Wow… I’m not ready to see my husband Kim Jun-woo yet…”
“I’m already so shocked by everything that I’m speechless.”
As Han Sang-hyuk took off his crane, Moon So-yeon shook her head.
Still, everyone was secretly looking forward to their wedding and chatting trivially about other people’s love stories.
“Aren’t you too relaxed?”
A familiar voice was heard.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Junwoo?! Oh, Ayoung, too?”
“Hey, I’m going to forget your face, you bastard!”
None other than Secretary General Kim Jun-woo and Branch Manager Lee A-young visited the three cleaning teams for the first time in a long time.
The team members ran towards them in one step.
Han Sang-hyuk was the first to ask, nudging him with his elbow.
“What are you doing here, Secretary General, who is very busy with work and dating?”
“….”
Kim Jun-woo and Lee A-young’s faces stiffened for a moment at those words.
After waiting for his cheeks to slightly heat up, Kim Jun-woo quickly changed the topic and opened his mouth to Manager Park Geun-tae.
“Quite… Actually, I came to tell you that I don’t think I’ll be able to go to the company dinner.”
“Draw it? Looks like you’re busy as expected. “It’s a shame.”
Director Park Geun-tae laughed heartily.
Kim Jun-woo also smiled slightly at that unchanging appearance.
“If you have some time before your next task, would you like to have a cup of coffee?”
“It’s good for us!”
“is it so.”
“Haha, when will I drink the coffee the Secretary General buys me again?”
At that time, Kim Jun-woo and all three members of the cleaning team left the alley and entered the main street.
thud-!
“Aaaah!”
“evil!!”
Manager Soyeon Moon collided with a child who ran out on the street.
Moon So-yeon fell backwards and the child also hit her butt.
At the same time, the equipment was dropped and a little blood splattered on the child’s clothes.
“Are you okay? “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Manager So-yeon Moon immediately stood up and checked the child’s condition.
Fortunately, the blood was non-toxic.
The child did not appear to be injured.
but.
“what?!”
“What did you do to our child!”
The parents of the child who came late seemed to have different thoughts.
“Ugh fuck. smell!”
Young couple.
My husband, who looked quite normal, immediately started swearing and covering his nose.
“What are you guys! “Why are you putting such filth on my child?!”
“What if I bring this filth outside!”
Sure enough, they immediately started arguing in an agitated voice.
“I’m sorry, I was careless…”
“How will you take responsibility! “What are you going to do if the child gets sick?”
“This is a non-toxic substance and in very small amounts…”
“Shut up! “What do you know about cleaners?”
At that moment, the expressions of the cleaning team members hardened.
But I was never hurt by the insulting words.
He was just genuinely worried about the young couple who made such noises even though Kim Jun-woo was right next to them.
Soon, all team members instinctively looked at Kim Jun-woo.
Kim Jun-woo also seems to have noticed that.
“sorry.”
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
I lowered my head more calmly than I expected.
of course.
“Is it okay if I say sorry?!”
“How on earth do you make a mistake like this!”
There was no way that these people, who had already lost their senses, would be relieved by such an apology.
Kim Jun-woo repeatedly apologized while bowing, but their language became increasingly heated.
at last.
“hey.”
Branch Manager Lee Ah-young, who was worse off, came in front of them.
“I think your words were a bit harsh…”
And that moment.
Perhaps because the excitement had eaten away at his brain, the man suddenly lost his temper and took off.
“This is so fucking true! “Put it somewhere and hit it…!”
He raised his hand towards branch manager Lee Ah-young.
Of course, there was no way Kim Jun-woo was just watching that.
[Acquired skill: Fire]
Kim Jun-woo casted a skill with the intention of blowing off his entire wrist.
At the same time.
chin-.
Someone grabbed the man’s wrist.
“…?”
“…?”
Lee Ah-young and the 3 cleaning team members looked confused at the situation that happened so quickly.
And it was the same for Kim Jun-woo.
The person who stopped the young man was neither Kim Jun-woo nor anyone else…
“What is a grown man doing in front of a child?”
It was a middle-aged man I had never seen before.
“Oh what are you doing!”
“me?”
The middle-aged man looked at the young man intently.
Quite a large size.
A grim look and tattoos extending from his arms to his neck.
“dread.”
The appearance was enough to prove that it wasn’t a joke.
Thanks to this, the young man seemed to have succeeded in controlling his anger in an instant.
“If you don’t want to look even more embarrassed in front of the kid, just stop and go.”
“….”
At those words, the young man reluctantly looked away and turned his back.
A couple quietly disappears with their child.
Kim Jun-woo looked at them for a moment.
“…thank you.”
I soon approached him and thanked him for stepping up on his behalf.
It’s not that it wasn’t, but it was clear that if he had come forward himself, the situation would have escalated.
It was fortunate for him and Lee Ah-young that it ended here.
“haha! What am I thankful for? “I was watching her all the time, but she seems like my daughter so I should be able to stay still.”
“Daughter…?”
“My daughter is just around that age. “I’m a good person and have good skills, but I’m worried because I can’t get married.”
The man smiled brightly and boasted about his child without even asking.
Kim Jun-woo and Lee A-young quickly regained their smiles at the not-so-offensive joke, and soon the man asked them a question.
“Are you two married?”
“yes yes?! “That’s not yet…”
“No.”
When Kim Jun-woo answered calmly, the man tapped him on the shoulder.
“It’s a good time! Well, you’ll find out after you get married. You’ll know more when you have children. Because your children are the most precious. It’s just a different way to express it. “They’re just saying that because they’re parents, so don’t worry too much.”
“Well, I understand. “To some extent.”
“ha ha ha! “The look in your eyes is not like that at all?”
When Kim Jun-woo answered with a smile, the man offered to shake his hand and said.
“They say it’s Choi Jang-seok.”
“This is Kim Jun-woo.”
“Kim Jun-woo?”
At that moment, the man looked startled upon hearing his name.
“Could it be WDSO Secretary General Kim Jun-woo…?”
“Oh yes… that’s right.”
“…at las.”
“yes…?”
That voice that was barely audible.
When Kim Jun-woo asked again, the man quickly waved his hand.
“Ah haha! no no. It’s nothing else… Actually, my daughter will join the association later. “I wanted to look good.”
“Is your daughter a person with special abilities?”
“then. “That is also a very great ability.”
Kim Jun-woo smiled at the man’s proud expression without realizing it.
“It would be nice to see you later during the interview. “I’m looking forward to it.”
“….”
Kim Jun-woo said a word, but for some reason, the man just stared at him with a stern expression.
And soon.
“Actually…”
The moment he opened his mouth in a heavy voice.
“This is a special ability crime team at the Seoul Southern Police Station. “I came here after being reported as an assault case involving a certain ability. Are you one of the parties involved?”
“…?”
“…?”
Suddenly the police appeared in front of them.
A woman wearing casual clothes and wearing a hat.
Kim Jun-woo and Lee A-young were very embarrassed and waved their hands.
“It’s an assault. “We are not at all…”
Saying that, let’s look at the place where Choi Jang-seok was.
“…what?”
The man had already disappeared.
Kim Jun-woo and Lee A-young looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.
“For now, please accompany me for a moment. Since a report has been received, we have to investigate…”
“Oh no. What is that…!”
“If you refuse, I will force you to accompany me.”
A firm female voice.
Just when Kim Jun-woo was about to protest, his eyes met the woman who was hidden behind a hat.
“…you you?”
“what?”
The expressions of both people hardened at the same time.
“Are you Min Yujin?”
“Kim Jun-woo?!”
The identity of the police officer is none other than Min Yu-jin, head of the special ability crime team at the Seoul Southern Police Station.
She was Kim Jun-woo’s ex-girlfriend.
