Seoul Yongsan-gu, HYT Hotel.

The hotel with two basement floors and 18 floors above ground, nestled at the edge of Namsan Mountain, looked tidy and splendid.

According to the guide, there were auxiliary facilities such as a skating rink and a swimming pool outside, and the place I would stay was the Presidential Suite, where foreign heads of state stay when visiting state guests.

However, despite the spacious lobby and friendly explanations from the staff, the facial muscles do not relax.

rattle.

“happy birthday!”

“… … .”

“… Look, I said I wouldn’t like it.”

“… … .”

In an excessively large space for a single room, Im Seol-ha’s cry is followed by Lim Seong-min’s casual tone.

If I wanted a reaction of joy, I have to say that my expectations were too high.

Naturally, the role of comforting the atmosphere belongs to manager Park Yoo-jin.

“Did you order a lot of room service? Remember when I said you had to pluck the mulberry? I’m going to pay with a corporate card, so let’s order it and see.”

“Ha ha, yes. We were talking about food. Toya kept asking when Yongsu would come.”

Indeed, on the sofa across the drawing room, a giant was drooling and glaring at the table.

As a tanker who needs high calories, it must have been difficult to resist the craving for food, but he endured it well.

“Toya, you waited for Yongsu.”

“eat.”

“I was allowed. eat.”

Then, as soon as he hears the answer, he lifts the plate and devours a piece of steak.

From soybean-snack soup, to yellow-orange spaghetti, to pork chops and thick sandwiches.

It was emptied as if pushed into an empty drum.

However, not a few people flocked to the side to watch the mysterious scene for a long time, so I couldn’t help but look away and accept the gift box.

I’m the kind of person who has to give back as much as I received… I wasn’t too eager.

Moreover, it was all the more so because I couldn’t even recognize what the paper Lim Seong-min handed to me was.

“what’s this?”

“Security.”

“… securities?”

“uh. I thought about what to give, but there was nothing that could help. You can buy some things with company money and use them, right? So I just brought something that could be used outside the barrier. It’s a promissory note used by the Administration Bureau and the Ministry of National Defense, and of course you won’t ask where it came from. In fact, it is the currency for external transactions paid to the dispatched personnel. At current market prices, it’s around 23 million won.”

“It’s fine.”

“Is not it? Are you crazy? However, they say that it is difficult to use in remote areas. If possible, use it only near a barrier or fortress.”

If it’s a bill, it’s literally a great gift.

Although the bundle is thick, it will be of great help in the future if you carry it in small portions.

However, because the value of the first item was not small, the face of the next person is clearly embarrassed.

“I’m not a big deal, but my wife is good at drawing… I had a side job at an art academy, and it seems like I got a canvas.”

“… … .”

“… Isn’t that a very simple gift?”

When Park Kun-young held out a 20-centimeter-sized canvas, his eyebrows inadvertently furrowed, and thanks to this, he caused a misunderstanding.

It wasn’t a matter of value.

There was only a red-necked parrot perched on a thick tree branch in a crevice of thick bushes.

<Well, the parrot is always right. The mate has an eye for it. Somehow, I thought I had a personality, my wife is quite good at it, right?>

Why did I think I liked golden macaws?

No. Does everyone think so?

“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s because I personally don’t like parrots very much.”

“that is… Don’t you like it?”

“… … .”

After looking at it, it is.

“I did a good job, though. It looks like an elaborate painting. I will be grateful.”

“yes. My wife worked hard on it.”

I won’t go into further discussion.

Although they had built up a friendship, the unnatural feeling was still the same, and the face-to-face meeting with Imseolhana and Toya was the same.

Each gave a disposable camera and a horse doll, but it was still hard to arrange a public service.

and after a while

After rejecting the absurd suggestion that they should sing, the B-7 engineering corps members come to the fore.

The passenger is Yoon Mi-kyung, a middle-aged woman standing by the piano in the drawing room.

“How are you? Long time no see.”

“Yes.”

I wish we could discuss the next mission.

Even the woman with the prosthetic leg is a gift and gives you a faded notebook. Over the past two years, it is an item that records all the operational outlines and monster characteristics that C-9 has dispatched.

“Recalling the last time we fought together, I don’t think it will be particularly helpful, but it contains some good information, right? I think it would be nice to read it as a pastime.”

“… thank you. Are you currently in charge of the engineering chief?”

“No, Yongsu-kun too. What would a frontline tanker do? Sang-hoon is in charge of the engineering chief.”

Following her gaze, near the window. A middle-aged man looks out at the scene where Namsan Mountain and part of the Han River are reflected and greets them.

There is a prosthetic arm on one forearm, which reminds me of the previous engineering chief.

“Then, if I were to enter the position, there would be a total of four people. At least five must be filled, but do you have any other engineers in mind? I heard that the next operation will be carried out soon.”

“It’s Lee Yong-soo’s style to talk about work even on his birthday. But today, I was invited because I just wanted to make sure I was doing well. The operation… In order for minors to officially join the Group B team, they have to go through the paperwork process, so they will enter early next year at the earliest.”

“… … .”

In response, I realize that the manager has made a mess and look around.

Naturally, of course, she had disappeared.

Made a wicked move.

“Hoho, if you’re curious, go ask Sanghoon. They said that the outline of the operation came out roughly.”

Therefore, my steps quickly head toward the window.

On the other hand, he made a fuss saying that the cake and candles were ready, but he repelled them by ordering Toya to eat them.

“How are you? Your complexion looks good.”

“… You knew how to talk.”

It was only for a while that a pointless laugh lingered over the brief reply.

The new chief of engineering, Kim Sang-hoon, the one-dealer, gets to the point instead of talking nonsense.

“Because I need to increase the number of words to control the engineering crew. My older brother wasn’t too talkative from the beginning. I’m talking about the engineering chief.”

“I know who it is.”

“yes. Anyway, are you curious about the operation?”

“Yes.”

“The deadline is between mid-February and early March. The team includes the existing 3 members, including you, Yongsu, and two other ADs were added. Choo Seong-han and Go Won-cheol.”

The former is a familiar name, while the latter is a first.

“Go Won-cheol is a station master. It can be useful for both defensive and offensive work. And Choo Seong-han is a person with the ability to poison… Maybe we met at the mansion. I’m graduating this year.”

At first glance, the combination was not bad, but at the same time, it was also true that there were weak doubts.

I know who Choo Seong-han is.

He is a promising prospect pushed by the first boss, and an aspiring hero who received the family’s expectations until three months ago.

In addition, the last memory was the image of him being robbed after using an awakening skill on Shadow Swallow Yoo Young-tae.

It bothered me that the appearance of putting a person in a conflicting relationship into one team.

Perhaps it would have been if the friendship between the eldest son and the second son had been dramatically restored.

Sure enough, the other party also emphasized that it was an unavoidable choice.

“I didn’t want to get involved in the fight for management rights within the group, but since it was a high-level monster attack, I couldn’t choose according to my will. Even if it’s not the main raid, if you participate, it will remain as a solid career. I was trying to fit in there somehow. But, well, I did my part in C-2… It won’t cause any trouble.”

“What kind of guy are you?”

“Venetus.”

“… … .”

“A level 4 monster, and the region is Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province. The main raid is the POS 1st team… … .”

Then, suddenly, when an unusual word appears, all the behind-the-scenes words are overheard.

It’s Venetus.

Right after awakening, it seems like only yesterday that the Bureau agent said that they were going to subdue Venetus. When I came to my senses… I became a party to the subjugation.

As I said at the time, Venetus is not a 4th class, but a 3rd class monster-

“You don’t have to worry too much. Have you heard of Hero Kim Young? There are also raiders of a similar level to level 4 melee, so subjugation won’t be difficult.”

“… … .”

That person, Kim Young, is going to cross the Hwangcheon Road.

“The subjugation personnel… … .”

It must be 28 people.

“About twenty-eight?”

“… … .”

“How is it, did your curiosity clear up?”

I didn’t expect it to come this far.

He hid it deep down the back of his talking throat.

* * *

evening of the day.

I am left alone in a room full of chaos, lost in thought.

Lim Seol-hana, who wanted to play a game of stacking wooden sticks and taking them out one by one, and Lim Seong-min, who boasted that he was a ‘5-star Lee Yong-soo’ for collecting hero cards.

The act of aggravating the psychological pain came to an end around evening, and now I have time to think about collaborating with B-7.

<This is your birthday. It was crowded.>

Suddenly, the parrot breaks the silence.

If being crowded is a requirement for a birthday, wouldn’t it be better to lie down on the market floor?

However, it is also true that he lacks the energy to continue unnecessary arguments, and soon he began to silently ruminate on the characteristics of a level 3 monster.

Venetus.

Its entire body is covered with a blue shell, and its height is 4 meters. It attacks by vomiting up mucus, but when it is in danger, it vomits its young from its shell.

And in reality, this is not an existence to be protected, but just a means.

The so-called [Drops of Corruption] would be scattered through the temporary self-destruction of the lower entities, and the twenty-eight-year-olds would cross the road to the underworld.

The problem is, I am not immune from this attack either.

<That’s an accurate judgment. It’s too much to block the attack of a level 3 monster with ‘rejection’ alone. Even if you mix ‘denial’, you can’t be completely relieved, so even if you can’t do it, you have to go to the next step, ‘space control’.>

“… how.”

<You have to roll hard. Rolling around, Dogrure.>

“… … .”

I don’t think it’s time to joke.

There was no clear way to participate in the subjugation, and it was because I was uncomfortable with it.

For nothing, meeting the members of C-9 in the past… … . The face of Park Jung-ho, the former chief of engineering, shimmered.

In the meantime, the bird’s head takes all forms and condescends.

<I’m not kidding. You really, really have to be strong and roll.>

“Okay, so tell me what to do.”

<… meet.>

“Meeting whom?”

When I threw the cookie pieces away with a barely audible sound, I naively caught them with my claws and flew away to the side of the window.

Judging from the way he checked the lock, it seemed that he was preparing to run away.

<Your father.>

“… … .”

<You have to pull the trigger to fire the bullet… damn! Listen to the end!>

It’s a smart choice.
