Chapter 98 – Business Trip (1)
Early moning.
It was not a very pleasant experience to be called to the president’s office at the same time as going to the office.
The president of the association probably didn’t want to call me either.
That’s why I did n’t even think of rejecting his call.
‘If this nobleman calls me, there must be a reason.’
But that thought was fleeting.
Sitting across from the president of the association, I immediately stiffened my face.
“Jehyeon, can you go on a business trip abroad?”
“Overseas business trip? Suddenly?”
“Yes. There has been a strong request from the Japanese Hunter Association to give a lecture on hunter crime investigation.”
This is a completely unexpected request.
I grew on purpose, even though I was a little taken aback.
“President of the association, I am very friendly and comfortable these days, right?”
“Ah, no… I just delivered the request because it came in. If you’re busy, you don’t have to go.”
Actually, I’m a bit free these days.
After Blanche’s quota was increased, he handled almost all tasks that could be done computerized, so the work speed was greatly improved.
Thanks to that, the team members are finally getting off work on time.
Besides, I really liked the purpose of the business trip for some reason.
A lecture on hunter crime investigation.
Perhaps the Japan Association noticed the trend of drastically decreasing the number of dungeons and was rushing to prepare.
This proposal felt like being recognized for what I had done so far.
I thought positively about the business trip and asked the president of the association.
“Is that really all there is? Then I don’t really want to go abroad.”
“… Actually, I have one more secret agenda.”
The president of the association, who had a little more luck than before, began to explain the true purpose of the business trip.
“There is information that Japan is securing the identity of Tiamat’s green hair.”
“Tiamat’s green hair?”
I’ve heard of him too.
Like the white hair, it’s not the guy Yeriel was looking for, but…
The gnome was being sought by the company for other reasons.
‘If it’s green hair, isn’t it Blanche’s upgrade parts?’
It is the highest priority among upgrade parts requested by Blanche and Matthew Manuel.
If Blanche succeeds in acquiring the power of green hair, then trees and grass, birds and mice will become our ears.
Blanche is a few steps closer to omniscience.
He tried to hide his expression of her with great excitement and replied bluntly.
“Are you asking me to act as your spy?”
“Tiamat’s green hair is very useful for his ability. If the Japanese Association can properly use him, Korea may fall far behind in the hunter competition.”
“Sounds funny. I have Yeriel, so I’m sure he will.”
This is a must go
I thought so and presented a specially made case to the president of the association.
“For now, take this.”
“Hmm? What is this?”
“Green dust. Make and distribute more restraints for hunters with it. You will need more in the future.”
“Oh, thank you. Then about the business trip…”
“I’ll think about that slowly. When is the lecture schedule?”
The president of the association sighed in relief and said, as if he hadn’t expected that I would give him a present.
“The Japan Association said they hoped for next Wednesday or so.”
“That’s enough. Is there anything more? I’m leaving?”
“Wait! The information about Tiamat’s green hair is top secret, so make sure to keep it a secret!”
I left the chairman’s office behind the president’s plea and made an appointment for lunch.
In the middle of Yeriel’s presence her, she put down her smartphone and announced.
“Tiamat’s green hair was found in Japan. Seeing that he asked me to do so, it seems like reliable information.”
“Green hair? Surely the ability…Was it a natural response?”
“That’s right. It’s a special ability that can definitely cover areas where the electromagnetic field ability can’t reach.”
When I nodded in affirmation, Blanche immediately posted a message.
[This is really good news. Currently, Matthew is dancing madly next to my body.]
“You don’t have to tell me that…”
A dance of joy performed by a mad scientist. I don’t really want to see
Matthew finally sent his voice directly over the receiver.
[All-out war! Tiamat’s green hair must be secured no matter what!]
I turned to Irene Wilson, who is in charge of Human Resources and Management.
“Madam, are you listening?”
[Say it. Dust.]
“Send all currently available personnel to Japan. Of course, including Chief Esquire.”
[Great.]
“Matthew, send all the equipment you think might be useful.”
[I get it. Please let me know if you have any requests.]
Unlike usual, masters in each field are very cooperative.
Of course, the completion of the oracle is the long-cherished wish of all of us.
This time, I’m willing to borrow Yeriel’s power as well.
Fortunately, she seemed to want her business trip too.
“Sometimes a nearby overseas is good too.”
“Thank you. Then everyone prepare for business trips.”
“Wait. What are you going to do with the hunter criminal investigation lecture that the Japanese Association requested?”
“Yes, of course you should.”
I answered Alice’s question without hesitation.
“Originally, they send in their own hands those related to the Hunter Association, which is restricted from entering the country, but why would they refuse?”
“Ah… I thought you were going to do both.”
“That’s right. The operation will be conducted at night anyway.”
After lunch and the meeting, data came flying from the president of the association.
The location of the green hair is none other than Tokyo.
Seeing that the oracle didn’t catch it even after leaving it in a place like this, it seems that the work was carried out in a very secretive way.
Probably, almost all electronic equipment was excluded and the work was carried out thoroughly using hunters belonging to the association.
“As expected, the analog powerhouse. Blanche, can you see it?”
[Yes. Based on the data, we will devise a stealing operation.]
“Are you planning your own strategy now?”
[Anyway, I’m the master’s disciple. Anyway, the final approval is up to the master.]
Blanche responded, even using a smug emoticon, saying ‘Ahem, ahem’.
I hurriedly prepared for the business trip and waited for next week.
@
So next week.
We boarded a special plane given by the Winter Kingdom guild and headed to Japan.
The lineup includes not only Alice and Yeriel, but Seo Ji-yu and Tia, who are nominal interpreters, and even Kerr.
Surprisingly, the two guys behind me were surprisingly willing to give permission.
Perhaps the Japan Association was also curious about Tia in many ways.
As the plane landed, I taught them a common sense of life crime.
“Oh, you know the last insurance fraud case? Usually, it’s best to do it in a foreign country like this.”
“Yes…Yes?”
“Most foreign countries have much lower population densities than Korea, and in the first place, it is difficult to investigate tourists… So the movements of insurance investigators are also very limited.”
“…Do you usually teach something like this at a timing like this?”
Alice was slightly taken aback, but Yeriel blushed slightly and was delighted.
“I see. Is it easy to dispose of the body if it is committed abroad?”
“Oh, not necessarily. Usually when an accident happens, the body is examined closely, and the insurance company will definitely look at the records… So it’s better not to find the body properly.”
“Then I’d better go to a tourist attraction like a canyon or a cliff. Or maybe the sea…”
“After all, the sea is the best.”
Alice, who was quietly listening to our conversation from the side, shook her head and said,
“I just decided. I will never go to the sea with you.”
“What? Then you won’t show me your swimsuit?”
“No way.”
While we were in the tourist mood and making noise, a vehicle from the association came out to meet us.
I don’t know, but it’s impossible to leave Yeriel Frost alone without personally attending him.
Alice was a bit nervous about her rather stern posture of her, but after hearing my explanation of her, she relaxed a bit.
“Don’t worry too much. We’ve already decided where to stay.”
“Where is it?”
“A hotel arranged by our company’s Tokyo branch.”
“Ah… After all, it’s a major company that’s active internationally.”
Yes. Even here in Japan, you can receive plenty of support from the company.
Considering the seriousness of the issue, it might be a little better than Korea.
A crowd had already gathered to welcome Yeriel to the place where the vehicle carrying us headed.
As I expected, the main character of this event has already changed.
Once I visited the hotel to leave my luggage, various equipments arrived in the best room.
Small cameras and explosives that can be used for spying, as well as my heavily armored combat uniform.
Alice and Seo Ji-yu clicked their tongues when they saw the list.
“Are you going to war?”
“You brought this in well.”
“Thanks to Chief Esquire’s ability.”
Chief Esquire’s hunter ability is subspace storage.
His ability is at the heart of this operation.
Once you’ve secured your target and delivered it, they’ll take care of it.
While we were making plans to hunt down her sister her, Tia couldn’t let go of the vending machine she saw earlier.
“Master, there was a peach flavored Coke earlier…”
“Really? I’ll buy it for you when I go out later.”
“Wow!”
I roughly put down my luggage and took out the lecture script I had prepared in advance.
Seo Ji-yu asked with an uneasy look next to her.
“… You’re here for our espionage operation, right?”
“I’ll do my lectures and espionage operations properly. Relax. You seem to have entered Korea for terrorism.”
“It depends on your definition of terrorism, but doesn’t that sound roughly right?”
“Seobang! Look at this. It’s a school uniform. It’s a school uniform.”
We laughed at Yeriel, who had just changed her clothes and came out.
