Chapter 82 – Those Who Come (5)
“So… , Are you asking me to remove Mr. Yoon Jian from his work in the inspection department?”
“Yes.”
Director Kim Seong-tae’s expression began to darken.
“To my ears, all I can hear is talk of using an association employee as a personal secretary… , Did I get it wrong?”
“Yes, you misunderstood.”
Serving as a personal assistant is not now, it’s a distant future.
At that time, our Mr. Jian would not be an employee of the association, but belong to me.
What about now… , The degree of prior experience for that time?
“I am the one who will be in charge of my care, and I am saying no if it is not Mr. Jian.”
“I want you to be excluded from the inspection department, not from the care work?”
“You’re right.”
“Under… , Mr. Kim Do-jin.”
Director Kim Seong-tae let out a light sigh and looked at me with wide-eyed eyes and said,
“Don’t you think that’s too much to ask for?”
It’s an unreasonable demand….
In other words, my request now goes beyond the limit or goes too far.
“No, not at all.”
I never thought of it like that.
It looks like this man’s weight is still wrong, so I’ll need to adjust it.
“Boss.”
“… Please tell me.”
“There are quite a few promising players currently being cared for by the association, right?”
“Not very little.”
As far as I remember, the association sponsors and manages about 30 promising players each year.
It’s a nominal name, but they say it’s simply for the better growth of promising hunter aspirants.
The associations I have experienced are not those who open their wallets with such a pure heart.
In the end, it is a ploy to bring in good people and plant a good image for a small amount of money.
It’s best to have them come in as an employee of the association, and even if it’s not, if you maintain a good relationship, there’s something you can use forever.
“Then it is.”
“…….”
“How many do you see me among them?”
“… I do not know.”
I blurt out my words.
Clearly, that man knows.
That my ability and potential are at a level that most promising youngsters can’t even give me a business card.
Otherwise, there’s no reason to make time to see me on golden Saturday.
“Ah, you probably know roughly, right? Just looking at this incident gives me a rough feeling.”
If you don’t know, you really got the position of general affairs department head at a go-stop.
Manager Kim Seong-tae, whom I met a few times, was not a person lacking in spirit, although he had an excessive desire for power.
Still, he remained silent.
I’m just proud of myself.
“Let’s be honest.”
“What do you mean?”
Kim Seong-tae speaks bluntly with a tone of displeasure.
“Although I am young, I am not an immature person either.”
“… So.”
“I’ve been quiet until now, and now I can get a rough answer just by looking at him saying he’ll take care of me.”
I mean how you rate me.
“Doesn’t the manager want to make a relationship with me?”
When he spoke directly, his eyes widened for a moment.
It must have been very surprising for a 20-year-old kid to say this.
He seemed hesitant.
Should I tell my true feelings, or should I reciprocate with a closed greeting?
After a while.
As if making up his mind, he opened his mouth.
“You seem smart, so I won’t deny it.”
If you don’t deny it, it’s right, what?
Anyway, since I gave an honest answer, the story is almost over.
Of course, one more process remains.
“I also want to have a good relationship with the manager. By the way.”
I raised my hand and made a human walking gesture using my index and middle fingers.
“We want to build a bridge between us.”
His eyes, realizing my meaning, turned to Yoon Ji-an.
“I mean… , I want to be cared for by Yoon Ji-an, and I also want to continue my relationship.”
I smiled brightly and nodded.
“Exactly.”
Manager Kim Seong-tae also laughed at my smile.
But the meaning seemed a bit different.
It’s a feeling of desolation, or it’s ridiculous.
“It’s a month’s ticket, but… , It is not impossible.”
The nuance is a bit odd.
It’s possible but… , Do you have to? Feeling called.
“But I don’t know if Mr. Kim Do-jin is worthy enough to take that risk.”
Well, this is unexpected.
It would be ridiculous to list only the things I showed off at the special entrance ceremony, but do you want more than that?
Did you eat your conscience? .
I don’t like it, but I can’t help it.
It seems that my desire for Yoon Ji-an is greater than that man’s desire for me.
“I will show you something interesting.”
One of the easiest ways to prove your worth is to show the strengths that others can’t and only you can do.
And the nature and talents of this body are very good at that.
I stretched out my five fingers and showed them to him, then gathered his mana.
Once on the thumb….
「Fire Ball.」
A fireball about 1/8 of the original size floats above the thumb.
A lightning ball for the index finger, a water ball for the middle finger, an air ball for the ring finger, and….
「Ice Ball.」
Red, purple, blue, colorless, and bluish-white orbs, respectively, spin around the five fingers.
Like planets revolving around the center of the sun.
“How about it? Enough of this.”
He just stares at my hand with his mouth wide open without saying anything.
I hear it.
In Kim Seong-tae’s heart, the sound of my value soaring through the graph and soaring into the sky.
* * *
In the car on the way home.
Yoon Ji-an asked me as I sat comfortably leaning on the back of a chair after eating a new food for the first time in a while.
“Why… , Did you go that far?”
It seems that my actions a while ago are difficult to understand.
Understanding goes.
Because the actions at that time were not things that could be said to be perfectly rational.
I just did what my instincts told me to do.
One reason for not wanting to be cared for by a middle-aged man, not Yoon Ji-an.
At the same time, I was also curious about her intentions.
“Then why did you accept Jian?”
“That….”
Discussion with Sungtae Kim.
It was, in fact, something that could be overturned at will.
Even if I ask the nobleman to take away all of Yoon Ji-an’s work in the inspection department, if she doesn’t want it, she’ll be silent.
So, after she had a discussion with Manager Kim Seong-tae, she asked her.
Is it the work of the Inspection Department or me?
After thinking for a while, she made a decision.
By taking care of me.
The expression on her face as she gazes forward is slightly red.
It’s a cool season, so it’s probably not because it’s hot.
“That… , It was a little disappointing.”
“Hey, is that so?”
“Yes. It seems that I am quite affectionate.”
… It’s just right
I also thought it would be something a little hotter.
She asked me again with a slightly redder face.
“Since I answered, Mr. Dojin, please answer too.”
“Well.”
I want to be better with you… , Is the answer a bit premature?
“I am similar. I have a lot of affection for Jian, so I don’t want to be cared for by someone else.”
“Ah… , Is that so.”
What.
What.
Why are you suddenly making a sad face?
Is my answer wrong?
Could it be that it wasn’t too soon to think of it?
“There….”
Just as I was regretting my earlier answer, Ji-an Yoon suddenly spoke to me.
“That’s the reward you received today.”
“Yes. Why?”
“That, um….”
What are you trying to say?
She hesitated several times before opening her mouth.
“That, that’s actually what I was trying for.”
“… Effort?”
“Yes. It’s not that Manager Kim Seong-tae made an effort… , Me.”
Oh
He said he worked hard to get 30 million won a while ago.
Is that actually the result of Yoon Ji-an’s hard work?
And you’re appealing to me only now?
“I don’t really want anything, but… , It’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of .”
“Yes, yes.”
When Manager Seong-tae Kim said that he worked hard, I didn’t feel as grateful as this, but suddenly my gratitude grows.
To the point where I can’t get out of it without doing something.
“Jian, do you have anything you want? I must have received a lot of money thanks to you, I want to give you something.”
“Sir, if it’s a gift… , Uhm.”
Contemplating, she opened her mouth with difficulty.
“I don’t have anything in particular that I want….”
“Ummm, is that so?”
Oh, sorry
I tried to make an appointment with that as a pretext.
“Instead of that! A meal later… , Would you like to buy it?”
“…….”
What day is it today
Why do you feel like things are going the way you want them to?
If you do this, bad things will happen later… , Write.
While she was worried for a moment, she put on an uneasy expression as if she thought my silence was infidelity.
“You can refuse if you don’t like it….”
“No, no. Like. Let’s eat, Bob. Not just one meal, but several.”
“… So when?”
“It’s hard because I’m full today… , How about tomorrow?”
Tomorrow is Sunday, so I and she didn’t seem to be burdened, so I took it out.
Suddenly, her face turned into a tear-stained one.
“… Sorry. I have some work tomorrow.”
“It’s okay. Then how about next weekend?”
“At that time, Saturdays and Sundays are all possible.”
“Then, I’ll catch you during the weekday and call you back.”
“Yes… !”
The feeling of having a conversation is a little different from before.
Even though they speak the same way, the atmosphere is different.
In the past, it gave off a very businesslike feeling, but now I have to say it has a more gentle feeling.
What is certain is that progress is being made in a positive direction.
If you ask me to buy rice first… , Right?
Just like when I went, the 20 minutes went by quickly.
“Im here.”
Unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of her car, she lowered her head to make eye contact with her through her open window.
“You worked hard today.”
“It’s okay. That… , Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
All I wanted was to be nice.
“Oh, and I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Tell me.”
It’s not such a big request.
Not a public request, but a very private request.
“Don’t call me only when you have business, call me when you are bored.”
“Yes? Ah… , All right.”
I laugh a lot today
“Then be careful.”
“Yes. I will see you next week.”
“Yes it is.”
With a subtle emphasis on the following week, she walked away.
Hehe.”
Something tickles my heart
The feeling of having sex with my wife when I was young.
“Ah, is it some?”
Certainly, it wouldn’t be strange to say that it’s a thumb right now, ummm.
She never thought she would feel this feeling again in her life.
When she reaches the rooftop with a laugh that she can’t stand, her familiar voice flies into her ears.
“Where are you going?”
Shin Yoo-jeong, who was lying flat on the bed, raises her body.
Um, how to answer
“I’m coming to meet someone for a while.”
“Meet? Who?”
An expression as if asking, ‘You don’t have any friends.’
Well… , Not really.
It seems like they were insiders in the game, but I cut them off.
I answered honestly.
“I came to meet Mr. Jian.”
“… For what?”
The voice subsides
I’m still surprised
In my opinion, I thought I would do it this year or that year, but it’s quite tolerable.
I took out an envelope of her money from her pocket and showed it to her.
“I’ve been making money.”
The boy’s expression brightened up quickly.
Whoa, that snob.
“How much?”
He pulled out a check for ten million won from the envelope and showed it.
“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million… , Wife, 10 million won?”
I spread three fingers without speaking.
“… Maybe three thousand?”
“Yes.”
“You… , You bastard!”
The guy who rushed at me suddenly burrows into my arms.
He hugs people whenever he’s happy.
After rubbing his face, he lifted his head and spoke to me in a subtle way.
“Buy some beef. Get some protein.”
“…….”
That’s how 800,000 won out of 30 million won flew away.
Year of the pig….
