“Yes, I changed my phone.”

Team leader Pyeon received the phone with a puzzled expression. And then he started talking on the phone in fluent English.

“Yeah yeah. hello.”

“no. The general manager left for a moment. Yes, I am your predecessor, but….”

“Well, I don’t know. There is someone else who adjusts our schedule, so it’s a bit difficult for me to judge it alone. “I’ll give you the number. Would you like to contact him?”

Eventually, team leader Pyeon ended the call and made a meaningful expression.

“What is it?”

“Why is the American branch suddenly…?”

the team leaders asked with an anxious look.

It was the same reaction my parents had when they received a phone call from school.

“It’s nothing else… I want to conduct this loop dungeon as a joint operation with the Seoul headquarters, but you’re asking if there is an operation team that can participate.”

“…?”

“…What what?”

“I’m glad the story has finally come to an end. Since there are unavoidable circumstances… I will involve the second operation team.”

At that moment, the team leaders’ expressions turned ashen.

Soon we started to notice each other.

“Oh uh….”

“That….”

“Hmm? Why are you doing this? “Do you suddenly like the schedule now that the American branch is joining?”

“Oh no, that’s not it…”

Only then did the team leaders realize that something was very wrong.

As everyone was panicking and not knowing what to do, Team Leader Soo-yong Lee stepped forward on behalf of everyone.

“Of course, as promised, the second operation team will participate. But… since it is a difficult dungeon, wouldn’t there be a need for a separate general manager to take charge of operational planning?”

“Now that I think about it, yes.”

Team leader Pyeon was lost in thought while stroking his chin.

The intention was obvious.

At this rate, I feel like I’m going to end up in a second team, so I’m trying to get my feet wet by taking on the role of general manager.

“All right. “Then, the person in charge of the operation will be Team Leader Kim Jun-woo.”

Of course, there was no way.

As team leader Pyeon looked at Minjoo Kim, he smiled slightly.

“Okay then… I think we’re done talking, so I’ll just get up now.”

I left the conference room first, leaving behind the frustrated team leaders.

“What do we do now?”

Operation Team 1 office.

Assistant Ryu Seung-min asked with a serious expression.

Team leader Soo-yong Lee bit his fingernails instead of answering.

It was he who incited the leaders of the operation team to declare a boycott.

The original plan was to use the Loop Dungeon boycott to gain leadership… but out of nowhere, the US branch proposed a joint operation.

If they come out like this, they are the ones in trouble.

It’s not that it wasn’t, and complaints from other operational team leaders were already pouring in.

“Who the fuck knew it would turn out like this?”

Team leader Soo-yong Lee took a break.

When I brought up the topic of boycott, everyone applauded and said it was okay, but since it was a shame, they started biting and saying shit.

“I understand. It’s a loop dungeon. “Even with the dungeon profits, dropping items is no joke.”

“Who doesn’t know? But you can’t ask me to participate now. Oh fuck, really…!”

They say kids who can do anything can do anything.

Team leader Soo-yong Lee’s breathing gradually became heavier.

“Anyway, where is the director at such an important time? “If the general manager had been there, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“From what I heard, he was traveling around the region meeting branch heads and directors.”

Aide Seungmin Ryu’s eyebrows waved.

“…Why all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know. “Seeing as he went down to the local area right after this general meeting, it seems like something was said…”

Lee Soo-yong stretched a little and continued.

“Well, Kim Jun-woo was appointed team leader two months after joining the company, and the cleaning team continues to rise. The 6th cleaning team, which was the only means of keeping them in check, ate the porridge and gave it to the dog. Since you’re walking on a tightrope, you probably want to call for rescue.”

Lee Soo-yong spoke in a tone as if he was asking what he knew.

In fact, I was seriously contemplating whether I had taken the wrong line these days.

Suyong Lee shook his head as if he didn’t want to think about it anymore.

“Anyway, I hope this joint operation doesn’t cause an accident.”

“There is no way there would be an accident with the American branch involved. And if something happens, wouldn’t the headquarters also be in trouble?”

“I know, kid. “I tried it.”

A clicking sound was heard.

“what. Is the subjugation over now?”

Uncleaned dungeon.

When I entered to support Yubin Han as promised, all members of the 6 cleaning team greeted me with a very tired look.

“Why, is a former international hunter having this much trouble subjugating the blue level?”

“…It’s so absurd, really.”

Han Yu-bin snorted as if she was shocked.

“Are you trying to help me or something like that? “We do all the work, but it’s true that we come here and do nothing…” “

So who’s telling us not to use our unique skills? “Why are you taking out your anger on me for subjugating him without your having to use it?”

“Ha really… huh?”

Suddenly, Han Yubin’s eyes widened.

“How…”

“How did you know? It’s obvious, right? “If your class is a berserker and you used a unique skill, there’s no way the monster’s body would be this healthy.”

There are many surprises.

“No… it’s difficult to clean up the corpse if it’s a mess…”

“That’s only for exams, but in actual combat, subjugation takes priority.”

It’s humorous that I have to explain all this to a former international hunter.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter as long as there are conditions to control it, but efficiency must still be considered. Shouldn’t it be difficult to subdue because of cleaning? “Anyway, the association’s #1 priority is conquering dungeons.”

“What… Weren’t you on the cleaning team’s side?”

“side? what the.”

I burst out laughing at the absurd question.

“Where is your side and my side in matters? “We are in a position of hitting each other.”

“….”

What a surprising face.

Seeing as how I can afford to think about such things, it seems like my body is not in a lot of trouble yet.

“You haven’t eaten yet, right?”

“…yes yes.”

“Then, before you eat, let’s do one last cleaning job and then go. “I will clean this place.”

“….”

I think I just cursed, but I guess it’s just my mood, right?

Just as I was picking up the mop with a skeptical expression, my cell phone rang.

It was my first time seeing this number.

“hello.”

Foreign language suddenly heard.

“…Who are you?”

When I listened intently, I realized that it was not a call I would receive while working.

At this exact moment….

“Oh, wait a minute.”

I put down my phone for a moment and called Yubin Han, who was about to leave, to stop me.

“I got an urgent phone call so I have to go out. “Please clean up here as well.”

“@#$%….”

This time, the swear words definitely came out.

With such a bad temper.

“Yes, you can talk now.”

I tried to ignore it and left the dungeon and picked up my phone again.

“What business do you have at the American branch?”

“I heard that a loop dungeon will be held in Seoul this time. As you know, Loop Dungeon is a dungeon that does not appear often in North America, so it is very difficult to gain experience with it. “So, I would like to suggest a joint operation, but he gave me this number to talk to the person in charge.”

The caller was the head of the control team at the American branch of the International Association of Nations.

Although I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, I calmly considered what he said.

“hello. “Are you listening?”

“Oh, yes. I’m listening. You mean the loop dungeon….”

I started pulling out memories in my head.

Loop Dungeon.

A special dungeon that returns to the time before the defeat if the boss monster is not defeated according to certain conditions.

From memory, the Loop Dungeon was held in Sillim-dong around this time.

“As you know, it is a fairly difficult dungeon, but wouldn’t it be a bit difficult for the current level of the Korean Association? We gain experience and you receive help. “I think it’s a win-win for both sides.”

“Hmm….”

That’s not wrong.

The number of loops is infinite.

In short, the subjugation must continue indefinitely until the subjugation conditions are achieved within the same time period.

Even I, in my past life, repeated the same dungeon about 100 times to defeat this loop dungeon.

You won’t know how hellish this is until you experience it.

So, from our perspective, we are quite grateful that they first proposed a joint operation.

Before I returned, I thought… I was an asshole.

‘These bastards are still bullies.’

Yes.

Even before the return, I received the same message from the US branch ahead of the appearance of the Loop Dungeon.

And then I got hit in the back of the head.

The US branch, which participated under the pretext of gaining experience, secretly stole the ‘Time Stone’, an item found only in the Loop Dungeon, from headquarters and returned to the US.

Since it was such an important item in solidifying the association’s position, the headquarters was naturally turned upside down. At that time, I was also very upset with the president of the association.

A formal objection was filed with the U.S. branch, but there was no way the international association would listen to the independent association.

The Seoul headquarters was in charge of all operational planning and overall management, but in the end, all we got was a few pennies of profit from the small pieces.

‘Fuck. Thinking about it makes me angry again.’

Anyway… I was deceived because I didn’t know. Since I already know everything about his intentions, there is no reason to accept this offer.

“Thank you for the offer, but we plan to carry out this operation using our own efforts. sorry.”

“…!”

Suddenly, there is noise beyond the cell phone.

“Of course, you will be embarrassed because this is a sudden proposal. “I wouldn’t call it a return, but we plan to support the budget for this operation.”

“…?”

“If you want, I can deposit it into your personal account…”

Are you giving me money?

There were no conditions like this in my past life.

Plus, it’s a personal account.

You’re saying you’re going to stab me in the pocket.

It’s like I’m lobbying the janitor.

Do that shit again for just a few pennies. There is no way.

“How much is the expected amount….”

“One million dollars.”

“….”

One billion?

Now wait! It’s better than you think.

Don’t you fucking catch this?

“Whoa… I’m sorry. “I think it will be difficult as expected.”

I was shaken for a moment, but refused.

If it weren’t for skill unlocking, it would be a pretty hefty amount of money.

However, if you accept that, you must be prepared to leave the association in the current situation.

“Now wait a minute! How much do you want?! “We will do our best to accommodate you!”

“This is it. “The amount is not important…”

At that moment, a text message arrived during the call.

This is a message from Minjoo Kim.

– The teacher is on the phone, so I’m leaving a text message. It’s nothing else, but next week’s loop dungeon. Because other operational team leaders boycotted, only our team was able to participate. The person in charge was decided to be a teacher. Fortunately, though, the US branch has requested a joint operation, so I think we can proceed somehow. If you see the text, please contact me…

It was too long, so I quickly rolled my eyes and read only the main points.

‘Oh shit…’

Immediately, my eyebrows furrowed.

Operation Team 2’s sole participation in the team leaders’ boycott, and the position of general manager entrusted to me.

What on earth happened at the regular meeting?

Damn it, I can’t refuse it when it happens like this.

‘Tsk, I can’t help it.’

“All right. “Let’s proceed as a joint operation.”

“Thank you for accepting me. Ah, but there is a little problem. Since it is a loop dungeon, it would be better to operate with a cleaning team, but due to budget reasons, it is not possible to dispatch a cleaning team…”

“Don’t worry. “We have the perfect team.”

“thank you. Well then, see you soon. Oh, by any chance, what is your name?”

“My name is Kim. Junwoo Kim.”

I ended the call and let out a light sigh.

I immediately opened my notebook and checked the cleaning team’s schedule.

‘I’ll put off the cleaning team’s work a little bit next week… If me and 6 other teams participate…’

Wait.

Suddenly, an ominous energy passed through me.

Now that I think about it, isn’t the American branch the former workplace of Han Yu-bin?

Can I have Yubin Han participate in this?

“….”

Yes, it is a branch of an international association, so why even say that something happened?

I guess it’ll be okay.
