Chapter 100 – Chapter 100

“How long does it take to Namsan from here?”
“Well. Thirty minutes? It might be sooner than that since there won’t be traffic jams during this time.”
“Then let’s go right away.”
“Why… Why are you going to Namsan all of a sudden?”
“It happens.”
Hong Eun-young bothered to ask her questions with a face full of questions, but she couldn’t answer them one by one.
There is a lot of work to be done.
Ahn Ji-hyun, who was roughly dressed in her clothes, was hugged and lifted up.
She might run away, so she won’t return her magical powers for now.
“A Chinese restaurant near Namsan… No, call any motorbike delivery location and have them delivered. At least five locations. The delivery location is Namsan 2nd Gate Management Office.”
“Yes?”
“Ah, just do as you’re told. I’ll explain later.”
“Ah, okay…”
Ji-hyun Ahn asked me if she felt the situation was rushing.
What is everyone so curious about?
I’m busy dying
“What’s going on? Where are we going?”
“Yes. I guess I’ll have to free you sooner.”
“… Thank you.”
“Not right away. From now on, if you do what I ask you to do, I’ll send you home tomorrow.”
“That… Magical power is…”
“I’ll return the mana. So please help me today.”
“Yes…”
She has become quite docile since her anus was pierced.
It wasn’t like acting this time.
Of course, she seemed to rely more deeply on Hong Eun-young, who treated her sore anus with her heels.
“I’m going out from now on. Don’t act to mislead others. Then I really have no choice but to kill you. Okay?”
“Yes.”
“Treat us as if you’re acquaintances. If you do something suspicious to release an eyepatch, then…”
“All right.”
“Lastly, just follow what I’m asking you to do today. I won’t take any questions. I don’t have time to explain.”
He nodded as he hugged me.
I haven’t completely surrendered mentally, but I won’t disobey my orders.
Unless it’s about betraying your beliefs.
I put her in the back seat of her car and I sat right next to her.
Hong Eun-young, the owner of the car, got into the driver’s seat.
Even now, I am busy calling here and there and ordering meals as I ordered.
“Just take motorcycle delivery.”
“All right.”
She didn’t start right away.
I told them to do more than five places, so it must still be this.
Seeing this, I also made a quick phone call.
The first person to call was Deputy General Manager Park of the previous company.
I just didn’t care because it was annoying, but I’m glad I didn’t delete the number.
– Who…?
“I am. Conductor.”
– … Ah, team leader Kang? Go, what happened all of a sudden?
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. I didn’t call to harm you.”
– Yeah, right? I’ve never heard rumors or mocked you…
“I know. I’m contacting you because I have something to ask you.”
– Yeah… But what.
I asked the conductor about what happened today.
Deputy Director Park seemed to be busy with that too.
And even C-team, the backbone of the company and the breadwinner.
I was not the only one who was worried about the guys who left to hunt orcs in the endless plains.
All the nerves were focused on it, so it was a complete backfire on Team F.
– Oh, yes… That’s a problem too. Eight of our Awoken have gone. Kim Chan-il and his friend are also very unlucky. And Kim Mi-yeon has already done that twice… Maybe she will quit the company now. Well, that’s something you have to come back alive for, but…
“Please send me the plan for this expedition posted by Kim Chan-il right away. With a smartphone.”
– Yes? That… Why?
“I’m thinking of going to the rescue.”
– Are you? No matter how awakened you become, you alone…
“Please send it quickly. I’ll take care of the rest. As soon as possible. I’m planning to leave within 30 minutes, so please hurry up. I’ll pay you back later.”
– That, that’s not difficult, but…
“I will send 100 million to your personal account.”
– Ah Okay. Send right away I can’t believe I’m doing this with the intention of getting money from you…
“I know. Hurry up please. I don’t have time. Then, I’m busy with other preparations.”
Fuck.
It’s dirty.
As soon as I hung up the phone with Deputy Director Park, I called another place.
It was a 114 call center.
One reason.
The purpose was to connect to the Namsan Gate 2 management office.
However, it took nearly 10 minutes to connect to who the fuck was on the phone.
– Where are you? This is Namsan 2nd Gate Management Office.
Calls from all over the place immediately asked me where I was.
Civil servants are busy too, but I am more urgent.
“How is the situation there now? Is the rescue team here?”
– It is still. Just today, this situation has already happened at four gates…
The uproar in the news channel was not like this.
It is said that not only the Bukhansan Gate and Namsan Gate, but also similar incidents occurred in the other two dungeons.
What day is it today?
Even overseas news that a similar thing had happened in the United States was being introduced.
Could this have happened at the same time in more unknown gates?
It’s not that the heart is disturbed in the least.
– There is the only survivor who got out of the gate, but he didn’t see the monster properly. He said he ran away without looking back… Hey, by the way, where does the person who called you belong…
“It’s a rescue team.”
– Yes? Uh, which company…
“Dragon Guild.”
– Oh, thank you. Korea’s best…
“Stop talking about it, and recite what the survivor said.”
I heard a scream.
I heard explosions and the sound of buildings collapsing.
The only thing I saw was the back of a colleague whose body had been dismembered.
The moment he saw that, he didn’t even look back, concentrated all his mana on his legs, and ran away.
Seeing that he was the only one who got out of the gate, he said that his comrades would probably have been annihilated.
Those were the words uttered by the only survivor, an F-class Awakener.
“Okay. Please tidy up the area around the gate until we go. If you see reporters, clean them up… Can you do that?”
– Ah… I see. We will return it as soon as possible. It’s late at night and probably not many.
“Then.”
Still don’t know.
Survivors are class F, so that’s the situation, and our kids will be fine.
I raised Kim Isol’s magical power to the same level as mine.
Anyway, there won’t be any trouble.
Maybe when I got to the gate, I was already out.
They weren’t the ones who would easily be defeated in an E-class dungeon.
At that time, even if those hyenas or nolls attacked in droves, the current ones would withstand it.
“Turn on the radio. Breaking Gates Channel.”
“Ah yes.”
Hong Eun-young, who was driving, hurriedly turned on the radio.
She flipped through the channels and she quickly stopped.
It was natural because both channels were broadcasting emergency breaking news.
[… It is said to have entered. However, this is only the Bukhansan gate, and there are currently three more gates with problems. In the Awoken community, this is a grand victory…”
The community seemed to be taking action as well.
Perhaps rescue teams from large corporations will be dispatched to different dungeons.
But it is too late to start preparing for departure.
There are not one or two dungeons where the incident occurred, and the same thing may happen in additional gates other than those known now.
“Excuse me…”
Ahn Ji-hyun, who was listening to the breaking news, opened her mouth, which had been kept silent.
“Can you tell me what’s going on… What’s going on?”
“It’s a double gate. If you’ve been listening to my phone call, you know what I mean, right?”
“… Yes.”
“There’s been an incident at four gates simultaneously. I’m on my way to one of them, so I need your help.”
“Everything, why are you… You’re an academy student.”
“My friends are in the dungeon. I can’t just sit around and wait.”
“… Give me back my magic. I see what you mean.”
“Not yet. I can’t trust you like you do.”
“Such… If you enter the dungeon like this, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“There’s nothing to worry about. If you see a monster, I’ll return it to you.”
Hong Eun-young is also looking at me through the rearview mirror.
There are probably two things you want to ask.
“What is it? Don’t look sideways and tell me.
“Ha, but…Then the ticket…”
“Are you going to care about that right now?”
“Oh, okay… He always hates only me.”
I said it a little louder, and it seems that the question I wanted to ask me was included.
Without saying anything, I started to focus on driving.
Then, when they were almost there, they opened their mouths.
“Do I have to go inside too?”
“Of course. If you find even wounded inside, wouldn’t you need your skills? Don’t you want to go?”
“Who, who said no? I was just asking… But how can I…”
“Don’t worry. That’s why I brought Ahn Ji-hyun. Park in front of a nearby equipment rental company.”
If you are the head of the Awoken community, you will lend equipment at any time.
Because he is a person whose identity is perfectly guaranteed.
It’s like making grace for the dragon guild, a large company, so from the point of view of the company, it must be two trillion with one stone.
Well, if the value of her name doesn’t work at all, you can steal her equipment by force or blackmail her.
It was left as a last resort.
If you do that, it will be even more difficult to start your own company in the future.
“Oh, thank you. I’ll keep the deposit.”
Equipment was rented.
Of course, at first, the company strongly rejected it.
At this late hour, it was said that rental itself is prohibited, whether it is a large company or anywhere.
However, with Ahn Ji-hyeon’s authority and the large amount of money in my bank account, the problem was easily resolved.
The biggest reason the company hesitated is that in case of an emergency, official insurance is not available.
However, when he placed a deposit equal to the price of the original equipment, his attitude changed.
The calculation is that even if we take the equipment and just fly it, there will be no loss because the deposit I placed will be their share.
50 billion like my blood…
I rented A grade equipment, not C grade equipment.
I bet almost all of my property as a deposit.
Will they really know that I am doing this?
Fuck. Puck.
“Ahn Ji-hyun. You did a great job.”
“It’s still dazzling…”
As a sign of praise, he lightly brushed Ahn Ji-hyun’s hair.
Fortunately, she did what I told her to do.
It was a big problem because the men’s and women’s locker rooms were separate, so I couldn’t follow them inside.
Well, I don’t have magic, but what if Ji runs away?
As for weapons, both bows and swords were borrowed.
The two women, a wizard and a healer, do not need a separate weapon.
So, the backpacks worn by the supporters were carried on each back.
All other miscellaneous items were removed and water and food were packed.
This dungeon is very large, so water and food are essential.
“Check your identity over there…”
Fortunately, it was quiet in front of the gate.
The official who spoke on the phone greeted us.
Not a single annoying reporter could be seen, as if they were all heading towards the Bukhansan Gate.
“I’m in a hurry, so I’m empty-handed. I don’t have an ID, but take a good look at this person’s face. This is Ahn Ji-hyun, the head of the Awakened community. You can write down that three rescue teams from the Dragon Guild entered.”
“No, over there though…”
“Is it more important to follow such a manual than human life?”
“Ha, but… I’ll get fired if I don’t check properly…”
What should I say after seeing this?
Should I praise him for being a true civil servant who follows the manual well?
In the midst of this, should I curse at him for being a scumbag who only cares about protecting his own rice bowl…
“Don’t worry. If you get fired for this, I’ll take responsibility until you’re old. The salary is decent, a lump sum payment for 30 years is possible, or I’ll get you a job at our company as an office worker. OK?”
“D-Dragon Guild? If so, that’s fine.”
I think I’m seriously mistaken about something, but what can I do?
I’m looking here and there to see who will listen, but I want to hit one.
There were people who were listening to our story.
I stand blankly and stare at this place.
“Hey… Who is the person who ordered the black bean paste and sweet and sour pork delivered?”
“I’ve got pork feet delivered!”
“I’ve delivered pizza and chicken. Where should I put them?”
Employees of the delivery company Hong Eun-young ordered in advance.
Korea is so good.
How long has it been since you ordered it and you arrived before us?
Well, it took some time to borrow equipment.
“We ordered it. You guys go inside the camp, have a meal with it, and take a taxi home. What I need is not food, but the motorcycle you all rode.”
You have secured a temporary means of transportation to use inside the dungeon.
