Chapter 277 – 277. Interview 1
“Oh. Are you here?”
“Yes. Nothing bad happened, right?”
“Of course. Fortunately, everything was uneventful.”
“Your face seems to have improved a bit.”
“Of course. Now that the chairman is gone, my appetite has improved. It’s all thanks to Seongcheol.”
“Well, I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’m thinking of getting some food.”
“Ah. Food. I’ll tell you to prepare it. The lady will be happy to hear it. Shall we go together?”
“Uhm… No. I don’t want to do that.”
“Hey. Shouldn’t we show our faces to everyone and do that?”
“Everyone is going to see us later when we have lunch anyway.”
“Ah. Are you going to go after lunch? Then you don’t have to go now.”
“Are you busy?”
“No. I’m not that busy… I’m free these days. So I’m building a house. That’s what Seongcheol mentioned before.”
“Ah. Anyway, I came to meet Captain Yang. We talked a bit.”
“Have you met him already? He’s also fast. He’s a guy who recognizes people’s skills even if he’s a bit of a rag.”
I talked about containers, and then I also talked about castles.
“What? Castle… You killed that Park Seong-chae guy?”
“Yes. It was an ugly death.”
“Hehe… You really… Talk about ridiculous things as if you just ate seaweed soup for breakfast. Following the camp, you destroyed the hill and even the castle.”
Well, there is a company, but I didn’t bother to mention it because I felt like I was too proud.
“Anyway… Then, look at your work. I’ll be inside looking around as well.”
“Why don’t you go together? You’re bored alone, right?”
“No. I have something to do.”
“What to do? What…”
“Well, interview? Where are the external group’s accommodations?”
“Aha. Interview. Okay. Follow me.”
As expected, he is a sloppy old man. You clearly know what I’m going to do.
Well, if there are no external enemies, I don’t have much to do on the fence.
Receiving food, seeing women.
Besides, today is the day I have to see Ji-won, Jia, and Jeong-hyeon. What… I’m not sure what you think.
“This way. If you go back here, it’s their room.”
After saying that, he nodded, grinned, and went on his way.
Under. Funny guy. So I like it.
When I turned the detector, I felt the presence of four people inside.
Hmm? Why are there only four? Oh, did one of you go outside?
But the structure here is a bit unique. Is there another room within the room? So should I knock and go in?
Since when did I have to knock before entering? .
As I hurriedly opened the door and entered, I immediately made eye contact with Songi.
“Huh!?”
“What? Hey.”
“Captain? When did you come?”
“No. How did everyone end up calling me captain? Is it because of you?”
“Well, it’s more about Zia than us.”
“Wow. I wonder how much you’ve been talking about that thorn or something.”
“But doesn’t it sound good? There aren’t many better titles than that.”
“Where is the captain who is always away?”
“It’s here. In front of you.”
And then Songi smiles at me.
As expected, this woman also has the charm of being able to make people melt.
Similar to Minhee. What. Minhee is superior in both charm and ability… But that doesn’t mean she’s lacking in anything.
What can I say about Minhee? If you feel a little seductive, does Songi feel a little decadent? Ah. I don’t know. Well, they are both similar.
“There were only four, who left?”
“Yes. Jiwon has now gone out to scout outside.”
“I see. Well, is it worth doing?”
“Yes. There are five of us, so we take shifts. It’s easy.”
“We need to find another person with invisibility skills and work in three shifts.”
“It’s not possible because there is no detection anyway. If we run two people at a time, those who are detected have to take turns, right?”
“Ah. I see. There were only four detectives in the enforcement department, right?”
“Yes.”
“Detect. It’s not easy to find.”
“It’s not easy to learn.”
“Yes. It’s 300,000 coins.”
I could ask for it for you, but… I don’t really want to do that for the sake of the executives here.
I wonder if there is a pretty girl. But now my eyes have become so high that most women don’t like her.
While I was talking to Songi, women suddenly came out of what seemed to be their room.
“Huh!? Are you here?”
“Ah… Oh… You’re here.”
Jeonghyeon stutters slightly when she sees the polite Yoon-seo and me. Guy… Why are you nervous already?
“Oh! It’s the leader! The leader!”
And Jia runs to me and hugs me.
Under… Why does he have such a sense of distance? Besides, why is Jeonghyun jealous of that?
“Stay away.”
“Ah. Why. Between us.”
“Ha.”
“Oh my. It’s so embarrassing.”
As I took a deep breath, Jia slowly walked away and said something.
As expected, this type is difficult. It’s not that I don’t like cute girls clinging to me… I’m not used to it.
When should I have been treated like this?
It’s much better for Jeonghyun to be so shy.
“First, let’s sit down.”
A place that is more like a drawing room than a living room.
Perhaps this is a common space for the women of the outer group.
Since there was a sofa and a table, we naturally sat around, and I sat down comfortably and opened my mouth.
“Isn’t there anything particularly wrong around you?”
“Yes. It’s quiet. I looked around through detection, so it’s accurate. I haven’t seen anyone wandering around the area since the captain left. Right?”
When Songi asks, everyone nods.
“Well, it’s good to be quiet. But don’t let your guard down. You know what happens if you let your guard down, right?”
“Of course. I saw you playing captain.”
“It won’t be easy to run into people, but… If you happen to run into them, don’t give a damn and kill them. There is no need for people to enter the fence anymore. I don’t want to see you die if you hesitate for no reason.”
It may sound heartless, but it can’t be helped.
It is better to kill them right away than to lose their lives for no reason.
When I said that firmly, the women’s expressions hardened a little.
Yun-seo and Song-i seem to understand well, but… Jia and Jeonghyeon are not that strong of women yet.
“But, if Yoon-seo or Song-i encounter an enemy, she has the ability to kill them, but what are Ji-ana and Jeong-hyeon doing?”
“Ah. There is someone in the executive department who is good at handling knives. I’m learning from him. It’s only been a while since I started.”
“Knife?”
“Yes.”
“Why a knife? If possible, the lich uses a long weapon. Or get a crossbow or something like that. The knife has to be held close together.”
“He’s the only one around me who knows that kind of thing professionally…”
Yunseo answers as if making excuses. But why is Yunseo making excuses?
“Isn’t there someone out here who gets things from here?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Tell me to get a crossbow. It has a lot of bolts. It’s a knife… Of course, it’s good to learn it, but it takes too long to be effective. It’s also high risk. I have invisibility, so there’s no reason to narrow the distance. A crossbow… No. I did it myself. I’ll tell Director Jeong to save me.”
“I understand.”
“It will be easy to get something like this for leisure anyway. I should tell you to get it in plenty. If you get it, practice well. And… Haha.”
I had something to say to them… What was it? I don’t remember.
What… If you think of anything, I’ll tell you. I’ll be staying until after lunch today.
“I’m going to have an interview, so let’s talk to me one by one. When will Jiwon come?”
“I’ll be back by lunch.”
“Okay. Then who will I shift with?”
“Me.”
Yunseo answered, and I nodded.
Then… First, the order is…
“Let’s start with Jeonghyun.”
When I call Jeonghyeon’s name, the other three look at Jeonghyeon with a slightly strange expression.
And Jeonghyeon blushes.
Under… Are there really no secrets among these?
How long has it been since we’ve been together that we’ve become so close?
“Follow me.”
When I stand up, Jeonghyeon stands up hesitantly.
Jia’s mischievous expression.
Ha. This isn’t something that goes around gossiping in the neighborhood.
Jeonghyun follows me so awkwardly.
It used to be the director’s office, but now it’s my room.
Someone jokingly wrote ‘Captain’s Office’ above the door.
I think this is probably Choi Ji-ah’s doing? There is no one else who can do this other than him.
Jeonghyeon enters the room and stands awkwardly.
Under. How should I say this?
“Jeonghyeon?”
“Eh, yes?”
Ugh. That’s what happens when you’re so nervous.
2 weeks. Two weeks have passed since I told Jeonghyeon at that time.
You must have had enough time to think alone. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, that’s a problem of its own.
There has to be a degree of indecisiveness.
“Now. Mr. Jeong-hyeon, who is attractive.”
To ease the tension, I smiled and made a little joke.
But it seems to have no effect. It actually feels like it’s getting harder.
Uh… Are you shaking? It looks like he’s shaking slightly.
Actually, if you think about it, even two weeks ago, Jeonghyeon must have shown quite a bit of courage.
Of course, there is a very high probability that Jia caught the affair next to her… I’m not sure about that.
In a way, I can understand why he seems worried, as he must have been alone in that state for two weeks thinking about all kinds of things.
Then… What should I do?
Shit. I’m not used to this either.
AC. Just… Let’s throw it with a fastball. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about anyway.
“Are your feelings still the same?”
Speak as kindly as possible and gently so as not to cause pressure.
Jeonghyun closes his eyes and nods slightly in response to my question.
“I’m glad. But there’s one thing I’m curious about. Can I ask you?”
Jeonghyun suddenly opens his eyes. He nods at me again.
“Is there a reason for me?”
Jeonghyeon clears his throat in response to my question.
Since you’re about to answer right away, it looks like you’ve thought about this.
“Well… I told you I didn’t have any experience yet…”
“Yes, I did.”
“That… That… Ugh. I mean, there was something a little scary.”
Are you afraid of men? I would have been nineteen before the world changed like this. Did you have any experience during your school days?
If she was this pretty, I wouldn’t have let anyone around her.
“Before I became an adult, the surrounding men… Didn’t look like men. They just looked like… Males? They only looked like that. And at most I became an adult… And the world became like this… And the males became beasts. So. I was even more scared, and there was a big reason…”
“Yes. Tell me.”
“I… Ever since the world became like this… I didn’t want to see the man I gave my heart to die.”
Hmm… I understand that to some extent. Since we live in a world where death is approaching, it is natural to think like that.
“Then you didn’t think I was going to die?”
“There’s that too… It didn’t look like an animal or a male… It looked like a man.”
“Me? To be honest, I’m not a very good person. I’m more of an animal than anyone else.”
“At least… The captain didn’t look at me with eyes full of lust.”
Ah… I understand that too.
Because I haven’t been hungry for women lately. It is a time when women can be viewed purely as people rather than as sex objects.
The timing was a bit surprising.
“I see. Thank you for being so kind to me.”
I don’t even have the intention of taking care of Jeonghyun, but… Still, I don’t want to be harsh to the woman who showed me this much courage.
If you have an appropriate fantasy and have the ability to fulfill it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to satisfy it.
Besides, it’s good for me, right? Anyway, it’s about having sex with a pretty girl. There is no reason to refuse.
When I took a step forward, Jeonghyeon was startled, but he didn’t back down or anything.
A woman who is about one head shorter than me.
As I approached, he appeared to be looking up at me.
A face looking up slightly. It’s pretty. Besides, I like this pure emotion.
What can I say? A level of innocence that would be a waste to me?
When I reach out and touch Jeonghyeon’s cheek, she flinches but leans her head against my hand.
It must have been incredibly difficult for her to maintain her virginity while living in this difficult world.
You’re giving it to me… You can’t be negligent.
At least, it should not be a memory you regret when you think about it later.
