Changed Body 353

Chapter 353 – Mother’s Day (5)

“Rethink your thoughts…”

To reconsider means literally to ponder and think again.

And in a case like this, think again… , I’m saying don’t create a guild.

Why?

“May I ask why?”
“Um… , The reason?”

Grandpa Deok-geun, who let out a deep voice, touches his chin with his razor-sharp beard.

Before long, he opens his mouth while staring straight at me.

“Because I’m worried about you.”
“Worry… What?”

My mind almost went blank for a moment at the unexpected answer.

I’m worried.

If I create a guild, will someone come and kill me with a sword?

“You know, too. That all of the large domestic guilds are frantic to recruit you.”
“…”

As he said

Several times a day, large guild scouts are contacted.

It is not an outright recruiting offer.

Did you eat breakfast, I will send you a gift card, buy this and eat it, by any chance, when is your birthday, etc.

He said he had no intention of joining a guild right away, so he sent text messages like this and tried to build friendship.

It must be the wind that I want you to think of them first when you decide to join a guild in the future.

“The higher your reputation grows, the stronger the movement. Recently, several guilds, which I heard that you are close to, have been contacting Director Kim more often.”

When I look at manager Kim Seong-tae at the first news I hear, he smiles awkwardly and shakes his head.

“It is true. I didn’t tell you, but… , I’ve been getting a lot of calls from them lately. The purpose was mostly to arrange a meeting with Hunter Kim Do-jin.”
“You must have been uncomfortable because of me.”

When I convey my sincere apology, he smiles and shakes his head.

“Haha, no. Rather, it was a little refreshing.”
“… Did you feel refreshed?”
“The guys who used to be stiff-necked scouts from large guilds are crouching, and it was quite worth watching.”
“Aha.”

But.

The big guild scouts are a bit stiff.

Some rotten guys say that if they look good to them, they will give you a recruiting proposal, and they say bribes are standard, and they do all sorts of dirty things.

“Hmmmm… , Think about it.”

Grandpa Deok-geun continues his conversation.

“What would other guilds think if they suddenly heard the news that you created a guild in this overheated situation?”
“Um…”

Maybe that’s what you’re worried about?

“… They probably won’t come up with good ideas.”

As someone who has run a large guild, I think it could be divided into two categories.

One is the type that thinks, “I didn’t have it, but no one else had it, so it doesn’t matter.”

And on the other side, ‘How dare you reject my offer and create a guild? The kind who will start to look at me in a rage, saying, “You cheeky bastard!”

“Why do you say that? When you feel betrayed by someone you love, it all turns into hate.”

I certainly didn’t give them any room.

He repeatedly said that he had no intention of joining the guild, and he refused all the gifts they gave him.

Still, that’s what human psychology is all about.

Even if I refuse, if you still don’t join any guild, I’ll think there’s room for you and rush at you.

Then I created a guild?

At that time, he changed from a tall man to a gangster.

“I fear they might retaliate against you.”
“Surely… , That makes sense.”

Someone will.

Would you do something like that just because you couldn’t recruit a promising player?

This is half right and half wrong.

Some people may not think much of it, but there is a good chance that others will react sensitively.

What the vested interests fear the most is a situation in which they come up from below.

I don’t know when they’ll come up to the same spot and invade my territory.

Right now, when I think that what I have in my hand is taken away, my whole body bleeds backwards, but what is the difference between them?

“You will definitely grow up. Sooner or later, he will become the next generation hunter who will lead this country. It may still be this judgment, but… , I think you can surpass Hunter Son Siu.”

Even I am surprised by the rave reviews.

However, his expression pouring out these compliments is infinitely serious.

“However, the talent required to run a guild and the talent as a hunter are completely different.”

That’s right.

Even the old guild didn’t know how hard it was when it was first established.

To the point where I thought it would be more convenient to run around the S-class dungeon endlessly.

“I don’t want you to disappear without growing up in the middle of a large guild.”

The sincerity is evident in his tone.

He is genuinely concerned about me and the future homeland, which will decline with the loss of talented people.

“So why don’t we postpone the creation of the guild until later?”

I understand Grandpa Deok-geun’s wishes.

Now is the time to grow, so don’t get caught by other guilds and be swayed by them, focus only on growth for now, then make them later when your head gets bigger, that’s it.

“I know what you mean.”

He said that an angular stone is right.

It means that if it sticks out sharply between round stones, it is likely to be beaten.

“Thank you for your concern, but… , But I still have to create a guild.”

Carefully pushes the brown envelope containing the documents prepared in advance in front of him.

“This is a document prepared for the establishment of a guild. Please check once.”

Grandpa Deok-geun lifts up the paper bag with a displeased expression.

“… Should I create a guild right away? As I have said many times, it may disappear without seeing the light of day.”
“Yes, I’ve given enough thought to that concern.”
“You mean you won’t change your decision?”
“Yes. It’s a bit scary, but… , I also have a trump card in preparation for that time.”
“That’s something.”

Pointing to the briefcase to answer his curious question.

“If you read the documents inside, you will find it naturally.”
“Um… , I see.”

Grandpa nodded and took out the documents in the paper envelope and read them one by one.

Guild creation requires quite a lot of documents.

And if you have all the documents, you need an early guild member to join the guild next.

The number is at least B-class, five or more.

Just in time, Grandpa Deok-geun begins to read the documents with their names and brief personal details.

“Yes… ?”

Then I can’t just turn over a document and start to open my eyes more and more.

Soon, his gaze, which was lifted blankly, turned to me.

“Come on, come on… , Is this true?”
“Yes, it is true.”

No matter how much I am, I can’t accept all of their cheating.

Okay.

If I’m alone

“Ha, Han Joo-yeon… , The hunter who was promoted to S rank this time is in your guild?!”

Jooyeon Han.

She is my trump card.

“You’re right.”

No matter how bad a guild is, it is a guild that grows with S-class hunters.

I want to ask those who would be dissatisfied with the establishment of my guild.

What can you guys do

There is an S-class hunter standing next to me, holding on, and what can you guys do other than frowning while looking at me?

The old man, who was shaking his hands holding the documents, grinned at me.

“Now I see you… , There was a very sinister corner? Was it fun to be worried about this old old man while hiding such a trump card? Huh?”
“Haha, it’s fun.”

It just wasn’t enjoyable.

I ask him who is smiling as if he has blown away all the worries and worries he had a moment ago.

“Guild establishment, can it be done quickly?”
“Of course not!”

His heart melted at my trump card, and he quickly took care of the paperwork.

Originally, even if I couldn’t get approval for the establishment of a guild, I know it would take two to three days, but they skipped the entire process and gave me permission right away.

“Congratulations on the establishment of the guild, Hunter Kim Dojin.”

He raises his hand again

“Thank you.”

As I shook his hand once again, he asked.

“Ah, come to think of it, what is the name of the guild?”
“…”

No, it’s okay to give approval without checking the guild name.

He reads my expression and smiles shyly.

“If you were in my shoes, it would be the same.”

But.

If an S-class hunter is on the list of founding members of the Hako Guild that was just created, not anywhere else, it’s only natural that nothing else comes to mind.

It’s a guild name.

I had a lot of trouble making this.

… No, in fact, the other guild members were worried, and I only synthesized opinions.

I don’t know why, but they cut off all my opinions with a single knife…

Anyway.

After the guild members put their heads together, only one guild name remained.

That’s right.

“This is the Twilight Guild.”
“Heh heh, it’s dusk. For a guild just starting out… , Yes… ?”

Grandpa Deok-geun’s expression hardened slightly as he pondered the name of the guild.

“Hey, that… , Did you know, or did you build without knowing?”

At the meaningful question, I smile and shake my head.

“Well.”

Hearing the ambiguous answer, he frowned and glared at me.

“Okay… , I’ve vaguely felt it since I said I was going to create a guild, but you really…”

Really what

“… What a mess.”

I understand.

If anyone guessed the inner meaning of the guild name, such words could come out.

But I feel bad too

It was a guild name I clearly objected to.
