EP.66 Judgment of Fire (2)

“Ah, hello, Kang Ju-yeon Holder.”

Shin Yuna bowed her head at the sudden appearance of Kang Joo-yeon.

Kang Joo-yeon looked at her with an unpretentious gaze and answered.

“… Nice to meet you. Shin Yuna Holder.”

“Where did you go and where are you now? I haven’t seen you all day.”

I heard that Kang Joo-yeon was also assigned to the hunting team 5 with me.

So yesterday I was going to work with her to get an introduction to the clan tower that I couldn’t finish…

She hadn’t seen her nose since morning.

Kang Joo-yeon turned her head to my question.

“… I have something to talk to the Master about the upcoming mission of the 5th Hunting Team.”

“Operations? He said he had a meeting tomorrow.”

“It’s an internal plan review meeting, and the selection of the recruits has already been completed.”

Hunting 5 team operation.

And the operation enough to select personnel.

Considering the scale of <Judgment of Fire>, there was a strong possibility that it was a dungeon attack.

I asked her with a little anticipation.

“Perhaps… ”

“yes. I’ve been talking about your problem for a long time. It is very unusual for an intern clan member to be put into operation right away.”

yes!

I cheered on the inside and tried not to tease as much as possible.

Even after listening up to this point, it’s not really noticeable and asking, ‘Did I do that?’

If it had been talked about like this, there is a high probability that I would have been included in the attack input.

It used to be a clan life where I was tired of working for just one day, but in less than a day, I found an escape route to dispatch.

‘That’s why Kang Ju-yeon, Kang Ju-yeon… .’

Although Kang Joo-yeon has a hard and cold personality, she does not spare support for those she thinks is right for her.

Once you get her attention, things go smoothly.

Clan internships, as well as being immediately put into operation… .

Again, it seemed that people should seize the opportunity well.

“… But have you been with Shinyu or Holder until now?”

Suddenly, Kang Joo-yeon looked at Yuna Shin and me in turn and asked.

For some reason, I can feel the chill in my voice…

Is it an illusion?

I tilted my head and affirmed her words.

“uh. I was connected as a temporary shooter for orientation. Did you say you agreed to it too?”

“It’s lacking, but I trained as accurately as possible about the clan and the 5 hunting teams… !”

Yuna Shin replied with a polite attitude.

That’s almost the attitude of the first-floor guards on the first day.

It’s me and Kang Joo-yeon, but…

From Shin Yuna’s point of view, she is the daughter of the most powerful clan she belongs to, and the successor she may be enshrined in the future.

Without realizing it, I had no choice but to raise the flag.

Kang Joo-yeon also seems familiar with this attitude of new clan members.

However, Kang Joo-yeon’s expression was strange when he heard our answer.

After she averted her gaze slightly.

He mumbled in a voice that no one could hear.

“… I never asked you to eat together.”

… Yes?

For a moment, I asked if I had heard it wrong.

“what?”

“Nothing.”

it’s nothing

I must have said something… .

It felt quite awkward, but I didn’t ask deeply.

Leaving the strangely cold atmosphere behind.

Kang Joo-yeon said while fixing her bag.

“… let’s go. Introducing the Clan Tower, I will continue.”

“Is the first person in the introduction today the cafeteria?”

“yes.”

It’s been quite some time since the members of the 5th Hunting Team had already left because they were chatting about various things.

When you get to the cafeteria by now.

You will probably be able to eat without waiting.

Me and Kang Joo-yeon.

And Shin Yu-na, who is restless, wondering if she did something wrong.

The three of us walked to the cafeteria.

* * *

Clan Tower 11th floor.

Clan’s canteen.

We were seated in a quiet area on one side of the restaurant.

And looking at the colorful food in front of me…

A voice filled with embarrassment came out of my mouth.

“Wow… Kyu-nee?”

Red beef beautifully laid out on a large plate.

Next to it, various vegetables including bean sprouts.

Variety of sauces and high-quality side dishes arranged around them.

And a small brazier in the center of the table.

Charcoal placed like a pile in the brazier.

A clean iron plate occupying the upper part.

It was a perfect wagyu (*Japanese beef) cooking setting.

“… I come here often.”

Kang Joo-yeon said calmly.

At those words, my face was stained with embarrassment.

No, what.

Wagyu is served for lunch at the clan’s cafeteria.

Is the barrel large like a large clan with a lot of money?

Or is it a dish that uses fire as its name suggests, <Judgment of Fire>? ?

But Yuna Shin is quite familiar with this kind of scene.

Naturally, he picked up his tongs and started grilling the meat.

And he said with a look as if he understood my feelings.

“No surprise. I was surprised at first too, but considering the holders’ income, it’s natural.”

“income?”

“yes. Everyone’s basic salary alone is a light 1 billion won, and holders who play in the field like hunting teams also have a huge amount of extra income. Since we have a lot of income, the menu of the cafeteria in the clan is also very fancy.”

If the cafeteria menu is not tasty, clan members do not need to come to the cafeteria.

It’s money that’s overflowing, and that’s enough to buy and eat outside.

That’s why the clan offers these high-quality foods as an added benefit… This was Shin Yuna’s explanation.

Then I understand

but.

‘Wagyu eaten in the cafeteria’ is so shocking, but it wasn’t a very expensive meal for holders of grade C or higher money.

I nodded and took the tongs from Yuna Shin.

“I will bake.”

“uh? no. Our clan doesn’t have that kind of culture… ”

“It’s because I’m good at baking.”

Meat is delicious no matter how you eat it, but wouldn’t it be better to grill it to your liking if possible?

The scope of [Cooking] was surprisingly wide.

Chii-

Chi, Chi-

After a light coat of butter.

I started putting the thick beef on the iron plate.

There are already enough sauces on the table to season the meat, but I pre-seasoned it with a little salt and pepper.

For the first tasting, you can feel the original taste of the meat.

Without sauce, you can eat grilled meat as it is…

It was my own roast style.

Shin Yuna, who said that there is no kkondae culture in <Judgment of Fire> and that she would cook, was also silent when she saw my skillful cooking skills.

Then he spoke carefully to me.

“Hey, Jaehyun Do… ”

“ok?”

“I… To medium well… .”

“Puff-Okay.”

Kang Joo-yeon didn’t say it, but it must be medium rare.

I went to a restaurant with her the other day and knew the style.

By the time the meat is properly cooked.

Kang Joo-yeon brought up the topic she talked about for a while.

“The operation in which the 5 hunting teams will be deployed is… It will probably be a dungeon left unattended by the clan.”

The content of the operation was to attack the dungeon as expected.

Among them, it seems to be an undiscovered dungeon owned by the clan that has not yet been attacked.

The importance of the first mission was considerably greater than I thought.

I asked, turning the meat over.

“Can I tell you already?”

“yes. It will be announced right away at the operation meeting tomorrow anyway. Do Jae-hyeon and Shin Yu-na Holder will also be involved in this operation.”

Shin Yuna asked in surprise at those words.

“Me too… ?”

“yes.”

what’s so surprising

with the same grade as me.

According to Yuna Shin’s training in the morning, the members of the Hunting Team 5 are divided into B-class and C-class personnel.

Probably to balance the holders’ ratings and hunting efficiency.

Among them, Yuna Shin and I are C-class.

It was natural that the operation to be put in would be the same.

“… But the party that will be put in will be a B-class party.”

“A class B party?”

“yes. The monsters in the dungeon we are trying to capture this time are mainly B-class monsters, and often A-class monsters. Probably the dungeon boss is also expected to be A-class, so this party will be except for you and Shin Yu-na holder… They will all be made up of B-class personnel.”

This is surprising.

There are cases where A-class holders enter a B-class party as a leader, but C-class holders are rarely selected as party members.

Class C and Class B are grades with a large gap.

But even as prospects, C-class holders and Yuna Shin join the B-class party…

This is quite unusual.

Perhaps this is why Kang Joo-yeon’s morning work was delayed today.

“But is it okay with me and Shin Yuna? No matter how good we are, I don’t think we’ll be able to join a B-class party… ”

“it’s okay. Oh-Jun Kwon Holder will participate as a party leader and warrior.”

“ah… !!”

Shin Yuna, who was listening quietly, clapped her hands.

“That’s why they put us in!”

“yes. This operation has a reason to attack the dungeon, but also focuses on the growth of Shin Yu-na and Holder. Apparently, Kwon Oh-joon holder was promoted to A-class and became the new team leader… Because the B-class warriors have become vacant.”

“I see… I’ll do my best… !!”

Yuna Shin said while putting her hands together, and Jooyeon Kang turned her attention to the meat I was grilling as if it was a burden for some reason.

I don’t know for sure, but Oh-Jun Kwon becomes the team leader and the number of B-class warriors in the Hunting Team 5 seems to have become vacant.

So, I made a request for replenishment, and Jooyeon Kang and I were temporarily hired.

By that time, I understand the feelings of team leader Kwon Oh-joon yesterday.

I applauded the B-class personnel, and I was an intern in the C-class… It also gave me two months.

It was certainly an irritating announcement from his point of view.

“The operation meeting is tomorrow, and the dispatch is the day after tomorrow… Be prepared ahead of time.”

“OK.”

“All right… !!”

<Judgment of Fire> Dungeon dispatch 3 days after joining.

I tell you all the heartbreaking news.

Kang Joo-yeon raised her chopsticks again.

It was the resumption of a meal that had been delayed for a while.

Chii-

Beef cooked on an iron plate with a sizzling sound.

After I cut them into bite-size pieces with a knife.

placed neatly in a bowl.

Food that is good to eat must also look good.

Decoration is one of the iron rules of my cooking.

Wagyu served beautifully in a pretty bowl.

It was a satisfactory appearance.

And the meat is scary to put…

Kang Ju-yeon and Shin Yuna’s chopsticks moved at the speed of light.

Are you using speed?

to such a degree that I doubt it.

It was a quick and precise move.

Thanks to that, there is no beef left in the bowl.

There wasn’t a single one.

“… … .”

I looked at the scene with a blank face.

that…

You feed the cooks, and there’s nothing like that… ?
