Chapter 1686 – 1686. Hunter Vs Vampire
“Do you have anything special?”
Ju Seo-hyun suddenly asked out of the blue.
“Anything special?”
“Like a sword, or armor… or a key. Things like that.”
I knew what she was talking about.
She was referring to items from Atlantis.
[Using Flash. Remaining stacks: 6]
I used Flash and slowly considered what to say.
If I said I had those items, it could reveal that I had lied. But if I said I didn’t? I might not be able to unlock the chastity belt while I was in this world. That wouldn’t do. I had finally met Ju Seo-hyun in this world, and I couldn’t get laid?
After much deliberation, I answered.
“Something special… Well, there is a strange sword that has been passed down in my family.”
“…A strange sword?”
Ju Seo-hyun asked back in a low voice.
“A sword that gets sharper when it’s exposed to moonlight. It’s a Chinese sword… It’s really something.”
Ju Seo-hyun frowned. The sword I was talking about was the Moonlight Sonata 7, which I got from killing the Moon Beast. Ju Seo-hyun didn’t even know such a sword existed. As of now, only Okto, Hang Ah, and I knew about it.
“Oh, and there was also something like a key in the storage room.”
“A key?!”
Ju Seo-hyun said as if she was having a fit. It was obvious what kind of key she was thinking about.
“Yes, a key. I remember seeing it in the storage room with the sword. I don’t know what it’s for, but… it was in the storage room, so I didn’t touch it carelessly.”
“Was that key small?”
“Yeah, well. It was smaller than a regular key. It looked like a key for a small lock. But why are you asking about that?”
Ju Seo-hyun’s lips twitched. She probably wanted to tell me to hand over the key right away. But if she did, it would be extortion. Given Ju Seo-hyun’s personality, she wouldn’t do such a thing.
And there was no way she would explain that she was wearing a chastity belt, and that the key might be the key to the chastity belt. She knew how absurd it would sound even if she said it herself.
“…There are unique swords in this world. The sword I have is like that too. I don’t need to manage the blade separately; if I wash it in running water, the blade stays sharp.”
“That’s amazing. Well, it’s not that strange since it’s a world with vampires.”
“If it’s okay with you, can I go see that sword?”
“Now? It’s a bit difficult right now. It’s in Incheon, which is close to Seoul, but… my parents passed away not too long ago, so it’s quite chaotic.”
“Then, I guess it can’t be helped. Show it to me when you have the chance. No, tell me when you can show it. I’ll go there myself.”
“Ah, okay. You must really like swords.”
“Well, I use a sword as my main weapon. I’m quite interested in them.”
“I understand. I’ll definitely show you the sword. But… what kind of work do I have to do?”
“Work… Just wait a moment.”
Ju Seo-hyun got up from her seat and left the office. I was dumbfounded for a moment. I asked what kind of work I had to do, but why did she leave the office?
‘She didn’t look like she needed to go to the bathroom.’
I took the opportunity while she was gone to look around the office.
The office was clean. It was so clean that it was strange.
‘The bookshelves are all empty. There’s nothing on the desk except for the monitor. There don’t seem to be any personal belongings at all. Did she put them in the drawers?’
I noticed the camera in the corner of the ceiling. If I opened the drawers carelessly, I could be mistaken for a spy.
After about five minutes, Ju Seo-hyun returned. She was holding a gun and a sword in both hands.
“These are the gun and sword you’ll be using. If you need any additional equipment, ask the company or buy it yourself.”
“But a sword? I thought a knife was the standard equipment.”
“A knife is the standard equipment. I asked for a sword. You trained in kendo, didn’t you?”
“A sword is more comfortable than a knife. Thank you. But what about the work….”
“You and I will be going around the field, so there’s almost no work to do in the office. At most, we’ll occasionally stop by the office to write reports. Since you also have a report to write, I’ll teach you how to write a report with that.”
“A report I have to write?”
“I heard you killed a vampire on the road earlier and went to the police station.”
“Ah.”
“When dealing with vampires, it’s better to send a text to the section chief, so keep that in mind.”
Ju Seo-hyun turned on the computer and showed me how to write a report. Seeing her clumsy mouse control and slow typing speed, I could tell she wasn’t used to computers.
‘A report. She’s writing it so carelessly? Is this okay?’
Ju Seo-hyun spent 30 minutes teaching me how to write a report, but I felt like I could write a report in five minutes even if I did it carelessly.
“…That’s it. You can send this to Section Chief Gu Hyung-jin.”
After teaching me how to send the report, she leaned back in her chair.
“…Don’t you do any other work?”
“I told you, we’re field agents. We wait until there’s work in the field.”
“When does work start?”
“When work comes up, you’ll get an assignment.”
“Then… what do we do until then?”
“I don’t know. Play a game or something.”
Ju Seo-hyun didn’t do anything.
She just closed her eyes and breathed.
‘That Ju Seo-hyun is spending time meaninglessly without doing anything? No way.’
She was someone who trained in swordsmanship whenever she had time. She was probably doing swordsmanship training in her head right now. It was meditation.
I watched Ju Seo-hyun’s reaction and quietly turned on a game. It was too boring to just sit still like her. As I played the game, it got so fun that I became immersed in it.
‘Is it because I’m playing a game at work? It’s more fun than when I usually play!’
I was making money while playing a game right now.
I occasionally felt Ju Seo-hyun’s gaze, but I ignored it and focused on the game.
‘Fortunately, unlike at the beginning, she doesn’t seem to be hostile towards me.’
I was relieved that I didn’t have to have a terrible work life.
I didn’t know how she would react if she found out that I had memories of Atlantis.
• • •
Around 1 PM, Ju Seo-hyun got up from her chair.
“Let’s go eat lunch.”
“Yes, Deputy.”
“……”
She stopped abruptly as she was heading out of the office.
“Deputy?”
“Call me Deputy Ju Seo-hyun. Do you think I’m the only deputy in this company?”
“Can’t I just call you Deputy Ju? I think that would be more comfortable.”
“Did you join the company to be comfortable? Do you think company life is a joke?”
“……I’m sorry. Deputy Ju Seo-hyun.”
“Do better from now on.”
Ju Seo-hyun left the office. I clenched my fist tightly behind her back.
‘That bitch, she usually just makes a resentful face.’
My dick was itching.
I wanted to take out my smartphone right now and show her the video of her panting while my dick was inside her, humiliating her. And I wanted to slap that cheeky ass of hers with my palm as well.
‘Let’s be patient. If I fight with Ju Seo-hyun right now, I’ll lose.’
I followed behind Ju Seo-hyun. My gaze naturally went to Ju Seo-hyun’s ass.
‘She has a good figure, so she looks good in a suit. She must be wearing a chastity belt under those pants, right?’
It was a pussy that had been aged for a year, unintentionally. I couldn’t imagine how good it would taste if I ate this pussy right now.
‘Let’s get a grip. First, let’s get close to Ju Seo-hyun.’
I walked up next to her and spoke.
“The company is huge. I saw earlier that it’s at least 15 stories high. Deputy Ju Seo-hyun, if you have time, could you give me a tour of the company?”
“I don’t know. There’s a cafe and a convenience store on the first floor, a restaurant on the second floor, a shooting range on the third floor, and a special unit on the fifth floor. That’s all you need to know.”
The conversation ended there.
Ju Seo-hyun was basically taciturn.
Every time we walked down the hallway, Ju Seo-hyun attracted attention. The gazes were full of goodwill and respect, from both men and women. And the men looked at me with envy.
‘According to Ji Hyun-sung, Ju Seo-hyun is even called a goddess, right?’
I wanted to touch Ju Seo-hyun’s shoulder and tease her. But if I did that now, she would find out that I had my memories.
Ding!
We arrived on the second floor. It was a large restaurant, but there weren’t as many people as I expected. She and I took the prepared trays and sat at a table. The employees’ gazes were drawn to us.
“It’s Deputy Ju Seo-hyun. She always eats alone, but today she’s eating with someone else?”
“Who is it? She refused when I asked her to eat with me last time.”
“It’s the new recruit I saw earlier. Deputy Ju Seo-hyun’s partner.”
“A partner with Deputy Ju Seo-hyun… That’s one lucky guy.”
“There was a rumor that Deputy Ju chose him herself. Is that true?”
“If the department head doesn’t know, who would? Didn’t you hear anything from the special unit department head?”
“I’m not close with that bitch. I don’t know what that bitch is thinking.”
Even though it was noisy around us, Ju Seo-hyun didn’t care. I sat across from her.
“Enjoy your meal.”
“…Okay.”
I first scanned the dishes on my tray. It was traditional Korean food. There was Neobiani and braised cutlassfish. There was beef floating in the seaweed soup. It looked quite generous, so it seemed like they were spending a fair amount of the budget on the menu.
I took a sip of the soup, and I couldn’t help but frown.
‘The seaweed soup tastes cheap. They used a lot of seasoning. And the beef isn’t two-plus grade.’
It was a fail. I didn’t like it. My expectations for the other dishes also dropped.
I was about to eat my rice when I felt Ju Seo-hyun’s piercing gaze.
“……Deputy Ju Seo-hyun. What’s wrong?”
“Does the soup taste bad? Everyone else says the seaweed soup is delicious.”
[Using Flash. Remaining stacks: 6]
‘Shit. I messed up!’
Ju Seo-hyun knew that I was picky about my food. Maybe she had seen through my act because of this.
‘I can’t just deny it. In this case….’
After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth.
“I’ve had a refined palate since I was young. I didn’t eat ordinary food well, so my late mother had a hard time. It’s not like I can’t eat this food either. It just doesn’t suit my taste.”
“Is that so?”
Using my dead mother as an excuse!
Ju Seo-hyun, who had given a short answer, picked up her spoon and started eating. It was a relief that my excuse seemed to have worked. I sighed inwardly.
“Deputy Ju. I heard you got a partner? That’s disappointing. You didn’t even listen when I asked you to work with me so many times.”
A man appeared.
He was tall and looked good in a suit. He was a handsome man who seemed to be the perfect combination of face and body, and he approached us, radiating a handsome aura.
He greeted us, but he also subtly scanned me. Then, he curled up the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
“Does this new recruit have what it takes to be Deputy Ju’s partner? I don’t think so.”
