Korea Hunter Association Headquarters.
There, at the meeting of working-level staff members above the manager level, there was only one topic..
"Leon Dragonia Lionheart... Why is the name so long? So it appeared in the black grade.……."
"You beheaded the great devil in one fell swoop? Is this the report you just put out to make us believe this??"
"The strength of survivors varies greatly, so it is not impossible. Aren’t there any cases of heavenly demons or killing spirits?."
"What else did you find out? god? Wasn't that magic that made crops grow??"
"He also assisted in the attack on the Honam Plain Gate.?"
"Is it from the combat world? That's a good thing."
The black gate that appeared in the middle of Seoul passed without incident due to information control..
The problem is that a survivor was found at the black gate..
The association took a very cautious approach toward survivors..
"Manager Jinsu Kim, I heard you have been watching over the past few days. We will also attack the Honam plains together.."
Hunter Association Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk asked Manager Kim Jin-su.
"Yes, that's right. Director."
"What kind of person was he?."
In response to the association president's question, Manager Kim Jin-su thought for quite a long time, even considering answering the superior's question..
"well… I don't know."
The conclusion he came to was extremely ambiguous despite his consideration..
"I don't know?"
"knave… is not. Rather, it is just.."
That's all I could be sure of.
"However, their values are very different from ours. The basic feeling is that of a medieval lord.……."
"My bone hurts.."
"I wish it was a little more modernized.."
Their reaction was natural. Although a significant number of survivors have integrated into society, an equally significant number have not been able to integrate into society..
The lower the level of civilization, the more likely it is that the original class is the ruling class or due to racial differences..
Survivors were unable to integrate into society, causing various social problems..
If they were just a nuisance to society, they would be ignored, but among the survivors, there were many beings just as powerful as the awakened ones..
In short, even if a crazy person appears, the problem arises that the crazy person's sword is too strong..
"hmm… In terms of ideology and etiquette, it would be better to be careful and adjust as much as possible.."
"Yes, but there are aspects that go by surprisingly smoothly. I think they understand the culture here too.."
That was because Leon was originally from Earth..
He was currently pretending to be from another world, not from Earth, so it's okay to ignore it..
Manager Kim Jin-su, who doesn't know that fact, must see that he has quite limited qualities..
In terms of ability, Leon was surprisingly impressive..
"The part about God descending… tell me in detail."
The miracle shown by Leon at the Honam Plain Gate. It appeared on a personal Youtuber's real-time Youtub video, but the video was stopped for fear of confusion..
"Yes, Demera, the goddess of abundance and life, is possessed by a straw doll. It looks like they actually had a conversation."
It was also captured on video. For some reason, I couldn't hear the straw doll's voice at all, but it was clear that the straw doll was moving..
"Didn't he just use some magic trick??"
"A goddess. nonsense."
Most executives dismissed it with the same words. God, it was such an absurd thing to say..
"But the evidence……."
"Isn’t it just that they gave it some kind of magical effect? What kind of nonsense is it that rice grew because God blessed it?."
"While there are devils, there is no such thing as God.?"
Opinions within the association were divided, but there was one agreed upon conclusion..
"That rice. The efficacy is certain.."
Rice grew rapidly thanks to Leon's blessing. That's not all. The land contaminated with wastewater was instantly purified as rice grew..
The mere fact that the magical power was purified was shocking, but the results of the analysis showed that each and every rice plant was rare, which once again caused an uproar in the conference room..
"Rice that heals cancer patients and even provides long-term buffs.……."
This ability is as amazing as Leon's strength. No, it might be more than that..
The effect of the general reinforcement created by the potion craftsman is about three hours. The price was in the hundreds of millions of won, so even large guilds tended to use it sparingly..
However, this rice maintains the buff longer than a potion, and if the type is different, it can stack up to three times..
If used well, all hunters attacking the gate will be able to maintain the buff with just one or two doses..
"About that part, Leon Drago… Ask Nia Lionheart for her opinion.."
"All right. And about support for survivors.……."
"To the upper limit. Give me everything you want. We must unconditionally bring him in as one of our people.."
Association President Oh Kang-hyuk was not confident even when he spoke..
Since they have already contacted the Phoenix Guild, this information is not only known to them. At least the Firebird Guild knows Leon's abilities..
10It’s only a matter of time before the major guild finds out about the survivor Leon..
Indeed, can the association compete with them? Oh Kang-hyuk sighed as he looked at the remaining budget for this year..
"I… By the way, President of the Association. Survivor Leon has one request:."
"What is that? No matter what I say, listen to me no matter what.."
"that is……."
Jinsu Kim hesitated, as if he had difficulty speaking, and then opened his mouth with difficulty..
"I need to meet Mr. President.."
"huh? Why on earth?"
"I'll be in your care for a while, so it's only natural for the king to greet you.……."
"???"
* * * *
Four days have already passed since Leon returned to Earth..
In the meantime, Leon stayed in a 5-star suite in Seoul. At first, he guided them to a lodging facility run by the Hunter Association, but it was because of Leon that he protested..
"It's not even a battlefield, so how can it be that there isn't a single work of art in the king's bed?!"
In short, it is inferior..
Provide a room with the finest beds, servants always on standby, and art that can be admired at all times..
In the end, Hari visited five-star hotels in the middle of the night and asked for a compromise by renting a suite and placing the paintings or ceramics that the hotel was decorating inside..
"Your Majesty... Please sleep well.!"
Two o'clock in the morning. Hari imitated the great sin of plaster seen in a historical drama and asked Leon to sleep..
"hmm……."
Leon took a step back from here. Because it is a disgraceful thing to harass his officials too much..
The next morning, Hari even took charge of room service..
"Your Majesty, I am Han Hari’s representative.!"
-Come in.
Hari opened the door with his room card and greeted him while pushing a tray containing breakfast..
"Did you have a good time after the gas?."
"Are you coming?."
Hari personally set up the food..
"Suratsang is coming, my dear.……."
The prepared meal was a rib meal that cost over 100,000 won. The five-cheop side dish and grilled ribs marinated with top-quality Korean beef made my mouth water..
"Did you eat breakfast?."
"Oh, not yet.."
"Eat meals when you can. Don't go hungry."
"Ah, yes…."
After Leon finished eating, I thought I should at least buy a sandwich at the cafe on the first floor..
"sit down."
Leon suggested taking a seat..
"lung, majesty…!"
He asked me if I had eaten and invited me to sit down. It seems like he is trying to share his meal out of consideration for himself..
That time when Hari was looking for chopsticks with an emotional gaze..
"what are you doing?"
"yes?"
"I asked, “What do you do with these ribs if you don’t prepare them well enough to eat?”."
"I didn't mean to share it with you.?"
"In what country in the world does a king treat a commoner?."
"Ugh……."
Well then. Hari had to lower his head and distinguish between the bones and meat of the seasoned ribs..
……
…
After checking out, Hari put Leon on the Hunter Association's ceremonial vehicle and headed somewhere. As she was heading to her destination, she started explaining this and that..
"The Hunter Association has decided to provide subsidies and settlement support to His Majesty. Even though it may not be as big as the royal palace, we will take you to a place that is worthy of your stay.."
"That is truly considerate. When do you think the President of the Republic of Korea will have time?."
"Oh, that's... I guess there's a problem with our security.──"
"Do you think I would assassinate the king without honor? A king does not kill another king!"
"Oh, no! Is that possible?!"
Hari doesn't think that Leon will cut the President down, but you can't ignore the President's safety just because 'I think so'.
He is a force that is difficult to stop even an S-class hunter, and if he turns around, it would not be surprising if the worst disaster in the political history of the Republic of Korea occurs..
"That, or rather, the place where His Majesty will stay! As I mentioned in advance, land is very expensive in the metropolitan area, so it will be much more cramped than when you stayed in the royal palace. Are you okay??"
At first, I was thinking about finding a decent apartment in Seoul. Monthly rent support for survivors who have received a high-level evaluation totals 15 million won for one year..
Of course, considering that the monthly rent is 1.3 million won, modern people may be able to live in a house that feels like a palace, but Leon was a king..
He had his own palace, and among the hundreds of rooms, just one bedroom must have been enormous..
To suit his aesthetic sense, the Blue House or Gyeongbokgung Palace would have to be built. It's obvious, but it's impossible..
"How can you be extravagant with your status as a gourmet?."
Hari did not mention that the Hunters Association, after lobbying, had taken out the art pieces from the museum in order to get the art pieces that Leon had requested..
I didn't even mention that those works of art cost hundreds of millions of won..
It is also true that the accommodation currently assigned to Leon is the personal villa of Oh Kang-hyuk, the president of the Hunter Association..
The Hunter Association was making an effort to satisfy Leon's demanding wishes, and they did not even say that they hoped this would come to fruition..
I feel like if I show it, they will yell at me for being rude..
"Your Majesty, now that I think about it, I'm talking about the distribution of loot.."
"He ordered me to handle that part on my own. But I like the cloak, so leave it alone.."
"yeah……."
In the end, it was decided that the loot from the Honam Plain Gate would be exempt from tax as a special case..
To be precise, he said, 'We haven't acquired anything from the Honam Plain!'.
It was a greater benefit than the top 10 guilds, including the Phoenix Guild, but Leon did not listen to the words of the association's employees..
He insisted that he would listen to his story if he met the president, the king of this country, and eventually the association promised to secretly arrange a meeting with the president..
Until then, immunity and tax exemption will apply to everything imposed on Leon..
The trophies allotted to Leon were the Dullahan's Greatsword and the Dullahan's Cloak. And out of the 10 million won worth of magic stones that were only partially mined in a hurry due to the dungeon closing, it is worth 5 million won..
In fact, most of the loot was handed over to Leon, but in reality, it was as if Leon did the closing alone, so there were no dissatisfied employees..
"Arrival. your majesty."
We arrived at an officetel in Bundang before we knew it. It is close to the Hunter Association and has a helicopter on the rooftop, making it a luxury officetel preferred by hunters..
As it is a luxury officetel, the lobby is also gorgeous. Elaborately carved and printed picture frames and modern artworks on display create a realistic atmosphere..
'What are those dots made with paint?.'
Although Leon's aesthetic sense could not understand some of the works of art,.
"Ah, Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri of the Hunter Association.?"
It was then. A man in a straight suit talking to two people moving into the lobby..
"Who are you??"
Hari was wary of the man who spoke to them as if he had been waiting for them. It was confidential that the two people were coming to this officetel..
"Haha, this is a coincidence. My name is Jongchan Park, and I am the director of Doojeong Mirae Food, Doojeong Group.."
"Du, Dujeong group.?"
Doojeong Group was a huge conglomerate that was considered one of the three major conglomerates in Korea. Why was the director of such a conglomerate waiting for them under the pretense of coincidence??
"ah… This person is a famous ‘survivor’ these days. Nice to meet you. Leon Dragonia Lionheart."
I already figured everything out. Hari's heart sank as she saw director Park Jong-chan..
On the other hand, Leon stared at Director Park's hand shaking his hand and looked shocked..
"Business... shake hands?"
