The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 13
13fury
“Wow... Wow! This is real······.”
Lee Se-hee, who took my heart as if she had stolen it, burst out in exclamation after seeing it..
Is she, the leader of the Holy Guild, something to admire? Honestly I don't know.
The reason I was able to process the hearts of monsters was thanks to a villain called Heartworker. Heartwalker, a former craftsman, had outstanding processing skills and earned an astronomical amount of money through this..
However, supplying those items to a villain organization became a problem. Since monster hearts of level 5 and above are registered under government control, the identity of Heartwalker surfaced when villains committed crimes using various stolen objects..
Heartwalker, who was being chased, taught me techniques and asked for protection. I remember that until his death, he was confident that his skills were the best in the world..
Anyway, judging by Lee Se-hee's reaction, I think my skills are quite useful..
“after! I enjoyed it. This is really great stuff. You want to sell this to me.?”
“It's a rush fee for Shinsung Hospital..”
“no! That's not possible! That's extra. You have to pay a fair price for something like this. Useless greed brings anger..”
“If that's the case.”
“However, in my eyes, I only know that it is a great item, but it is difficult to measure its exact value. First, I will contact you after measuring the exact price. may I?”
“I do not care.”
What Lee Se-hee offered to take care of was nothing more than extra income for me. She raised her eyebrows as if she didn't like my answer..
“Transactions cannot be done that way. How many scammers are there in the world? It's a mistake... Oh, no..”
I hesitate to speak and glance at my hands..
Did you ever think that I would at least smash the head of the person I cheated on?.
I might have done that when I was crazy, but I don't do that when I'm sane..
hmm.
To be honest, I never thought I would get scammed. I've never experienced it before. Does that make you feel very bad? I do not know yet.
Regardless of my thoughts, we were able to conclude an agreement with Lee Se-hee's cool deal..
“And I would like to ask you one thing..”
“What is it?”
“Don't tell Dahyun that I came..”
“···I had no intention of talking about it from the beginning. It is natural to keep customer information that brings benefit to our company a secret. however.”
Lee Se-hee's eyes toward me became brighter..
“Am I a bit jealous of you taking care of Dahyun like this? My head almost exploded.”
“It didn't explode.”
“So I'm breathing here.”
“I don't do business with anyone. Only deal with people you can trust.”
“That's a pretty big compliment..”
His expression relaxed like a ghost, as if he had never done that before. My ears seemed a little red. Then she looked at the clock on the wall and asked for forgiveness..
“Sorry, but I have next plans..”
“I'll pay you back later if you suddenly come to me and owe me something..”
“yes. I'll contact you soon.”
I nodded and left the Shinsung Group headquarters while being seen off by Lee Se-hee..
It was a satisfactory transaction.
*Lee Se-hee, who confirmed that Choi Jun-ho had returned, looked at the object in his hand..
The heart of the monster, called a crystal after processing, was a work of art in itself..
“Thank you for giving me the treasure, but I need to figure out where it is..”
Lee Se-hee contacted the Sacred Guild Research Institute. A little later, a chubby man in his early 50s arrived at the office..
“Welcome, Director..”
“Yes, team leader. For some reason?”
“There's something I'd like you to take a look at..”
Surprise flashed on the director’s face when he saw what Lee Se-hee was holding out..
“Where on earth did you get this??”
“The source is a secret. How much is this item worth??”
“It's amazing. Is this type of processing possible? It must have overwhelming volume, control, and delicacy to completely overpower the force of the heart. The processing method is also completely new..”
“also.”
Lee Se-hee, who had already expected it, nodded. Choi Jun-ho is a truly mysterious person..
“Please make sure you know which monster that heart belongs to..”
The director's eyes asked for more information, but when he saw Lee Se-hee's calm eyes, he gave up his greed and lowered his head..
It occurred to me that behind the exquisite beauty lies a deadly thorn..
“All right.”
“Then, I will just trust you and go..”
Sehee Lee prepared for the next schedule..
Today was an opportunity to recruit new hunters who will be responsible for the future of the Holy Guild..
*Choi Yun-hee, who passed the practical exam in first place, felt like her current situation was like a dream..
Holy Guild.
This is the place I have been aiming for since I first started preparing to become a hunter. I was confident in my skills, but I suffered at the last hurdle..
I could have lowered my eyes, but each time I thought of my brother who was hanging out in my hometown, I held back. She lowered her eyes and looked like she might do the same..
I got to where I am now with the help of my older brother, whom I thought I would not imitate, but it was still good..
The last thing left is the final interview..
Choi Yoon-hee arrived at the interview location and was surprised to see Lee Se-hee sitting proudly..
There were many compliments on her beauty, such as the walking goddess of beauty, the jewel of the Shinsung Group, and the wealthy woman of the financial world, but she was also outstanding as an awakened person to the extent that even that could not overshadow it..
If she thought of Jeong Da-hyun as a realistic role model, she admired Lee Se-hee, so Choi Yoon-hee sat down with her heart pounding..
“Welcome. Welcome to the Holy Guild.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Did I put too much pressure on you? Be comfortable with yourself. We are now part of the same family. Although it is the final interview, it is an opportunity to say hello to the family members who will be together in the future..”
“yes. But it's not easy.”
“Then let’s get to know each other step by step. First, I will explain the sacred guild system..”
The Shinsung Guild provides new hunters with an annual salary of 300 million won and vouchers for all Shinsung Group companies in their first year. In addition, incentives based on contribution to monster hunting and priority use of weapons made by sacred guilds are provided..
The reason why the most awakened people in Korea choose the Holy Guild as their top priority is because of these guarantees that are almost always provided..
It was not for nothing that they said that if only one person in the family belonged to a sacred guild, one could live comfortably for the rest of one's life..
Lee Se-hee, who was explaining step by step, looked surprised when she saw Choi Yun-hee's results..
“Ms. Yoonhee ranked first in all areas of the practical exam for the second time in the 37 public recruitment exams. With these results, do you look forward to more in the future? I need to look better.”
“no, no.”
I was so embarrassed that I waved my hand. Lee Se-hee smiled at her pure appearance..
“It's okay to be proud. The Sacred Guild is a place where only the best talent comes..”
“yes To be honest, I'm very proud.!”
100A sacred guild with a limit on the number of people.
Thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of people apply to fill the few vacancies that occur in this place where Korea's best talent gathers..
Choi Yoon-hee is the best talent who passed the competition and passed first place..
“1You have made great progress over the years. Is there any secret??”
“It's a bit ambiguous to say it's a secret. Well, my brother gave me guidance..”
“Your brother is amazing..”
Lee Se-hee's voice as she said that became strangely stretched out..
“yes. Although he is a civil servant, I think he is great..”
“You have a good brother..”
“To be honest, I don't have any enemies like that at home, but I think it's true that it's great..”
“You have a good relationship with your brother. i envy you.”
Having said that, Lee Se-hee explained to Choi Yun-hee about the part she will play in the future..
The guild's hunting method consists of a team activity of at least four people. Here, each person deals with monsters according to their assigned role, and Choi Yun-hee has an excellent sense of distance and excellent evasion ability, so she has the ability to inflict great damage on monsters..
“I think it would be a good idea to try using a longer weapon. It's okay?”
“I don't care.”
“great. Now, let's find the best combination for Yunhee. There's one last thing I'd like to ask you..”
“yes.”
Lee Se-hee, who had been outspoken throughout the interview, showed signs of hesitation this time..
I'm asking this because it's such a difficult question.?
“While walking down the street, I ran into a villain. So how will Yoonhee respond??”
“You will mainly deal with monsters in the Holy Guild, but I don't think it's right to just look at villains and pass them by. First, I will contact the villain response team. And if I can solve it with my skills, I will subdue it..”
“What is the level of suppression??”
“It is a line that cannot be resisted after taking away a weapon..”
It was a textbook answer, so it felt rather dull..
I thought it was a very boring answer myself, but Lee Se-hee's reaction across from me was dramatic..
“···thank god.”
“yes? What?”
“Mr. Yoonhee. Because it’s normal. I really appreciate it..”
“Why, why?”
Why am I thankful that I'm normal??
Choi Yun-hee did not fully understand what Lee Se-hee meant..
*With Lee Se-hee's cooperation, Oh Jong-yeop's younger brother was smoothly admitted to the hospital. He kept saying that he was grateful and that he wanted to repay the favor, but he told him to live his own life and stopped contacting him any more..
I plan to end my relationship with this guy like this. Now that her brother's hospital bills are settled and there's no Big Ten to drag her down the villain's path, she'll be able to get on with her life..
Meanwhile, Yunhee's parents were very happy when they received the news of her acceptance. I felt good when those emotions came through through her speaker phone..
What I wanted to do when I returned to the past, making my parents and Yunhee happy, was the first thing that came to fruition..
I asked my parents several times if they needed anything, but they said they didn't, so I thought I should take the time to visit my parents' house. I feel like everything is going smoothly.
But it is too early to let down your guard. My goal starts now.
Even this little happiness will be shattered if I go crazy. I have to be on guard because I don't know when and at what moment my impulses will swallow me up..
The best I can do for now is to desperately hold on to my sanity and clear away any obstacles that may interfere with my peace..
It was a lot more work than I thought..
I'm glad my family is happy, and I spent fulfilling days as a member of the villain task force..
We took turns doing paperwork on some days and patrolling on other days..
Jeong Da-hyun's expression was very bright as she came out, and the crime rate for the previous quarter had been announced..
“I fell down.”
“This is because Dahyun worked hard..”
“sorry. I'm the only one who gets the award.”
Not long ago, the Villain Task Force was awarded a commendation in recognition of its role in reducing the crime rate..
I was not included among those awarded..
For your information, I arrested the most villains among the villain task force..
“I'm fine. I don't have any regrets.”
“Still.”
“Rather, I feel good because I achieved my personal goal..”
The reason I did not receive a commendation is because of the arrest of Wang Ju-yeol, for which I was reprimanded, and the case of excessive suppression, which will soon reach 50..
I don't know how the media found out, but every time I caught a villain, there was an article about excessive suppression..
Although I didn't receive the award due to public opinion, I was satisfied with the performance..
“Because no one died.”
Became a civil servant hunter for 3 months.
I arrested over 200 villains and didn't kill a single one..
Dahyun Jeong kept what she said..
“Well done.”
“Dahyun has also changed..”
“In the past, I lacked determination. When I think about it, I gave up a lot of things when I left Shinsung, but I couldn't give up after coming here. What was important was not the promotion, but the arrest of the villain. But I got to know Junho after seeing him. What direction should I take and what are the greatest strengths of being a civil servant?.”
“It's a good change.”
“Does Junho look good too??”
“Ultimately, what people pursue is different. If Dahyun's goal is to apprehend multiple villains, quick judgment and unstoppable handling are essential..”
As a public official, Dahyun Jeong did not join the Holy Guild for power or fame..
“Just add one thing here.”
“What is it?”
“I am prepared to give up the lives of prisoners and villains when the time comes..”
“···That's difficult.”
“Someday the moment of choice will come.”
There still remains in my memory the afterimage of Jeong Da-hyun willingly giving up her life for justice..
The Jeong Da-hyun I saw in this life was still just. However, while the last life was mild in taste, this time it was quite spicy..
This was the reason why Jeong Da-hyun’s change was expected..
···Of course, in order to see that scene, I also have to try not to be fired..
“Junho is the only one who says this to me. Thank you very much.”
“If you really appreciate it, there is a way to repay it..”
“What is it like??”
“This time my younger brother joined the Holy Guild..”
“ah! Yoonhee! I heard.”
“did you know?”
“yes I also have contact information. I'm a slow typer, so we couldn't talk much, but he was a really nice kid. You'll be busy adjusting these days..”
Yunhee's face has definitely looked gaunt these days..
“Since Dahyun is also a senior in the Shinseong guild, I would like to ask Yunhee for advice when I have time..”
“I see. Even though I left halfway through, I think there may be some help. I'll do it! When would be a good time??”
“Come to my house. I will serve you a meal.”
“Good. You can also look forward to the menu.?”
“How about beef and soybean paste stew??”
“Soybean paste hotpot! Junho, you are good at cooking too.!”
Jeong Da-hyeon’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. He doesn't seem to think that I can't do it..
You have eyes to see.
Even though it looks like this, it is a body that has survived by cooking for over 20 years..
“You can think of it as the most special soybean paste stew in the world..”
“I'm really looking forward to it..”
In order not to disappoint her expectations, I will have to do my best for the first time in a long time to protect my pride as a soybean paste stew enthusiast..
Come to think of it, Yunhee said she doesn't even look at soybean paste stew because of me..
If Dahyun Jeong says she likes it, she’ll eat it too.?
When I returned to the National Security Bureau after completing my patrol, Ahn's office was noisy..
“They said that today is the day the new hunter is coming. They say it’s very excellent, right? Her level is still low, but she says she has a special gift..”
“He's talented..”
“Yes, I’m excited to see who he is..”
Almost all of the awakened people, known as talented people, ended up in guilds, so each and every one of them had to be precious..
So in this case, it was like catching a big fish from the perspective of the National Protectorate..
The moment I saw Inyoung’s identity surrounded by people, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The guy who saw me grinned and approached me with his hand raised..
“Yo, buddy. We meet again?”
“Jong-yeop Oh.”
“I came to the National Guard to meet my friend..”
The seniors who were watching Oh Jong-yeop's proud bullshit were amazed..
“I was following Junho.?”
“Friends friendship is so cool!”
“Isn’t this the true friendship of this era??”
Oh Jong-yeop's shoulders soared to the sky as praise poured in from those around him..
By the way, how did this guy get here??
I paid off my younger brother's hospital bills, but since he's greedy for money, I thought he'd get into a reasonably good guild..
I thought the relationship would end like that, but it seemed like my relationship with this guy was stronger than I thought..
Meanwhile, the guy who was grinning approached me. The guy whose worries had disappeared showed a grumpy look that had only been seen in his last life..
“By the way, my friend is in level 9 and I am in level 7? It's just like that. Hehehe!”
“······.”
When I look at him, he slowly turns his head..
Are you telling me to treat you as a 7th grader now??
“Me, Mr. Jong-yeop.”
“yes Secretary! This is Oh Jong-yeop, a newcomer.!”
Dahyun Jeong, who had been quietly listening, intervened..
“In our National Security Bureau, other than the team leader, other positions are generally horizontal..”
“yes? Was it something like that??”
“If you want to be treated well, there is a way for two people to compete against each other and use their skills to defeat each other. Since this becomes a battle of pride, there are many cases where people get hurt. There was a fatal accident once and it has been avoided ever since..”
Jeong Da-hyun, who had said that far, looked at Oh Jong-yeop and spoke carefully..
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous if the other person was Junho??”
“Secretary, let me ask you just one question..”
“yes.”
Oh Jong-yeop swallowed his saliva and asked..
“I look like I'm about to commit suicide?”
“······.”
Dahyun Jeong answered with silence..
