Chapter 51

People watched my mouth carefully.

And I drew my own conclusion and carefully chose words.

“I have the willingness to help the representative sufficiently even without such compensation.”

“Um...”

“And I will contract with Ara Hongryeon.”

As a person greed also arises. Not just a guild but no less a place that might become domestic 1st guild or not.

But it wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t want to become a guild member of the Republic of Korea’s 1st guild but wanted the small happiness of me and surrounding people.

And surrounding people already included Ara Hongryeon people long ago.

If here the moment betraying faith it would be betraying the connection that continued until now.

‘Ara Hongryeon says fine but with what face can I see these people again.’

It was true that affection formed from the matters until now.

No matter how cold society is there are people like me right?

And I wasn’t refusing the proposal without any thought.

“Ooh! Younger brother Gyuseong! Indeed...!”

“But!”

Sorry to hyung Hanul who is drinking kimchi soup but I thought further.

“On my contract clearly 2 years of contract period is specified. After ending I will also be released to free contract.”

“No?! Mere 2 years?”

Iron Blood Guild’s secretary looked at Han Seokjun with eyes of is that true.

Actually an unconventional contract period in industry practice.

Short 5 years to average 10 year units contracting was the awakener industry standard. Of course in the middle might be traded to better contract conditions but.

But Han Seokjun eliminated such burden with an exceptionally short contract period.

My contract was mere 2 years.

In the awakener industry 2 years was quite a short time. After that released to free contract.

Of course Ara Hongryeon would attempt re-contract.

“I’ll think the relationship with Iron Blood Guild not bad either.”

“...Umm!”

Baek Taeseop’s eyes shone intensely.

The will to somehow bring me shone.

“2 years! If short short if long long time but in this industry it’s not that long a time!”

“Right. Thanks to guild master Han Seokjun looking out for convenience.”

“Then I have to say again.”

Baek Taeseop who felt like a shabby old man gradually started expanding presence. Not big but his voice clearly heard.

“When that time comes I’ll present the best conditions throughout the Republic of Korea, no the whole world. Treat as the best awakener. And Iron Blood Guild also will put back to the 1st place not shameful to Mr. Gyuseong.”

“I’ll look forward to 2 years later, representative. But you have to know that 2 years later other guilds will all know my ability. And my ability is special.”

“Hmm! Have to work harder. Hahaha!”

Ara Hongryeon guild members who were hearing our conversation also showed resolute appearances.

Probably the thought of treating me changed a bit.

“Our Gyuseong grew.”

Hyung Yeongseong nodded and left a content smile. And guild master Han Seokjun was looking at me with the same smile as earlier.

As if anticipating such my choice.

But all this was ultimately a story when it resolved well. The treatment of awakener Baek Seunghyeon promised with representative Baek was priority, and after that the promise about pizza also has to be kept.

‘Never thought my ability could give this degree of help to someone.’

Someone wanting my ability couldn’t be this proud. For the past 3 years the lowest grade awakener no one looked for, only hyung Yeongseong welcomed...

Now no less Ara Hongryeon the Republic of Korea’s first guild and Iron Blood Guild competing for ranking 1st were wanting me.

That too not just wanting but making a fuss to take so a feeling of the times changing.

This is all thanks to the slimes.

“Thank you, Ara.”

“Ung? Why suddenly thankful?”

Ara tilted her head.

Stroking such Ara’s head I smiled fully.

The contract ended safely.

The antidote deal with Iron Blood Guild, the item rental contract and joining Ara Hongryeon all finished in one go I confirmed the watering can that arrived first just in time.

Unlike Vitriol’s shield an item playing in the warehouse so during the contract Iron Blood side immediately brought it.

“Strangely shaped.”

“Cute though?”

Hyung Hanul and Jeong Soyeon each added a word watching the watering can. Words revealing each other’s tendencies.

“Ehehe.”

Ara holding the watering can in arms couldn’t be more lovely than this. What I received to use but ultimately Ara chose so for now let Ara hold it.

“I’ll receive gratefully, representative.”

“Hope this item becomes a big help to Mr. Gyuseong.”

Baek Taeseop carefully examined the fruit and vegetable juice received from me and smiled.

“Today really had an unforgettable experience. Antidote is antidote but next meeting also want to eat Mr. Gyuseong’s food again.”

“Next time I’ll treat again.”

“Then we’ll go first. Obtaining the antidote so itching to go to the son guy quickly.”

At representative Baek’s words hyung Yeongseong nodded as if understanding.

“Even a bit quickly escaping pain is a good thing.”

“Yeongseong, this matter really thank you. I won’t forget you either.”

“If needing materials related to detoxification contact anytime. I’ll help with all my might.”

The story finished warmly and soon Iron Blood Guild withdrew.

Looking at the time arrived in the morning but before I knew it it became midnight.

“Today good work. You must have experienced many sudden matters so go back and rest fully.”

Han Seokjun patted my shoulder saying good work progressing several contracts at once. Actually hyung Yeongseong mostly processed so I had nothing particularly hard.

“I... is there something I have to do separately? Still now became a guild member.”

“None. Just act as usual and if matters related to supply or needing help contact. If contacting the guild the related department will help.”

Honestly not well realized.

But the personnel contentedly looking at such me were not false.

“Welcome becoming Ara Hongryeon’s family, Mr. Gyuseong!”

“Uahaha! Now will see more often, younger brother Gyuseong!”

“Gyuseong, I also when Siyoung’s health perfectly recovers plan to return to the guild again. Let’s get along better from now. Haha!”

When I awkwardly scratched my head and said please take care Ara beside chimed in.

“Please take care! If treating me well specially accept as subordinate too!”

“Hihi. Then have to show well to our Ara. If becoming Ara’s subordinate can eat many delicious things too right?”

“Of course!”

Jeong Soyeon stroking Ara’s head then glanced at me with a sullen expression.

“Now same guild member so no more hiding from me?”

“Haha. Of course.”

At my answer Jeong Soyeon smiled brightly.

Indeed the smiling appearance is prettier.

“Ah! Come to think of it our orphanage really wants to meet Mr. Gyuseong a lot. Somehow want to repay...”

“As it was thinking of contacting while out but suddenly many matters happened.”

“Then since it became like this next time set a day and visit together with me? Ara together too.”

Oh, certainly much better than me and Ara two visiting. Anyway if a known person goes together good.

“For me if you do so thankful.”

“Then shall we decide the date in advance? By any chance when convenient?”

No particularly busy matter but...

Then suddenly thought of the children at the orphanage.

‘Since going want to take gifts.’

I wanted to see many people becoming happy with my ability. If children even better.

For that had to harvest more crops and increase stock.

That opportunity stop by Gluttony’s dungeon again and pack some honey too.

‘Thinking about it quite a lot of things to do? Plant the new dungeon plant that tastes like bread too...’

Others mostly the slimes could do but sowing only I could do. Of course the work of planting seeds itself not that long so there was leeway.

By the way now the worrying thing was land.

‘Assuming continuing to grow the crops originally growing now no land.’

Ultimately the solution was Gluttony’s dungeon.

According to confirmed last time taking Mark Two and planting Meluca flowers nothing seemed impossible but actually didn’t know how it would be.

“Umm... How about 2 weeks later?”

“The week after next? Wait a moment.”

Jeong Soyeon who took out the phone and confirmed the schedule soon nodded smiling brightly.

“Empty the Friday the week after next! How about then?”

“Good. Then the day before I’ll contact again.”

“Yes!”

The story ended and looking around somehow people looking at us with content expressions were visible.

“?”

“??”

Me and Jeong Soyeon raised question marks and puzzled why people were making strange expressions.

“Hehe. Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong, close with pretty sister.”

“Uh? Uh, uh. Right?”

Ah! So those expressions.

Waved hands thinking might cause misunderstanding but already these sly uncles were whistling and muttering.

“Wow, youth is good good right? Good to see the two too.”

“Uahaha! The time when good! I also once had burning love! But the problem was burning all!”

“...2nd team leader. By any chance said that as a joke?”

“Uahahaha! Isn’t my joke funny, hyung?”

Hearing the uncles’ chatter Jeong Soyeon and I awkwardly met gazes and laughed it over.

“Then let’s stop here. Each would be busy so kept too long. Today everyone good work.”

“Thank you, guild master. See you next time.”

At Han Seokjun’s words ending the seat everyone prepared to go out.

While riding the elevator down together hyung Yeongseong stealthily whispered.

“Come to our house sometime once. No, we’ll go. Then go to that cafe right?”

“No need to do so. If so I’ll go. Since went once before memorized the way too.”

“No, no. Siyoung also only at home all the time so after a long time have to get outside air. Incidentally going to see you. Our Siyoung is outdoor faction.”

“Outdoor faction?”

“Yeah. Liked camping or something a lot. So no place not gone here and there in our country and occasionally went camping in safe dungeons.”

“Camping...”

Thinking of sister-in-law who spent close to 10 years only in hospital or inside the house the heart hurt for no reason.

Moreover not an ordinary person but a tremendous awakener, especially for a person who liked going out that long time would have been unspeakably painful.

“Actually if not me Siyoung would have just died. A bird dies the moment wings break. But for me she endured tenaciously. Really thank you.”

Hyung Yeongseong said bluntly.

But because of that empty emotion rather felt even sadder.

“Um...”

Suddenly Gluttony’s dungeon came to mind.

Since said likes camping how about making the first camping place commemorating sister-in-law’s complete cure here?

“Hyung, if okay...”

* * *

-Ohohohot!

World Tree inside Gluttony’s dungeon.

Alpheheim’s queen Prey was currently shaking her body excitedly. A kind of expression of joy but the awkward motion somehow seemed a tremendous body idiot.

-Really the Lord’s ability is great! To sprout this quickly!

-Uwaaa! Now we don’t have to starve, Queen?

-Of course! We just have to believe the Lord and the apostles the Lord bestowed!

Before I knew it two slimes whose status rose from ordinary workers to the Lord’s apostles wriggled and crawled around the Meluca cultivation site.

Not a big appearance but Alpheheim watched that appearance sacredly and cheered. Some even shed tears watching.

-Apostle! Cheer up! We’re beside you!

-Apostle! If hard rest anytime!

-Aa, the appearance of working for us without resting even a bit... Too cool dizzy.

But the appearance of not actually helping.

Worried if intervening and messing up they frequently watched beside and only shouted.

The slimes wondering why so fussy did their own work. Anyway for the slimes this work was rest and at the same time play.

-Since sprouts started receiving light now remaining is caring until flowers bloom. Still the task of poison remains but... Haa! Resolving the long-cherished wish not achieved for 200 years this quickly!

Toward Prey who was moved a fairy who looked like a worker came down riding a starlight bug.

-Queen, Queen! The processing of honey you mentioned last time ended!

-Good job. How much is the amount?

-Um... Gathered as usual?

-Oh my! No! Have to make more honey and offer. Have to inform our usefulness so the Lord won’t abandon us!

-Huk! Immediately process more honey!

But such Prey’s effort hit a difficulty even before starting.

-Queen, Queen! Honey collection failed!

-What! What on earth is that sound!

-The star bear guy attacked the compatriots collecting honey!

-Dare! This guy!

The star bear was an animal rumored the most ferocious among animals living near the World Tree.

What the star bear with a bear’s exterior regarded as delicacy was exactly honey.

But because no ability to collect honey mainly chewed and ate flowers.

-Uuu... Queen...

Fairies in charge of honey collection were carried one by one on leaf stretchers. No injured ones and most were exaggerating.

Nevertheless Prey couldn’t hold anger.

Not enough attacking noble Alpheheim and taking away the Slime Great Lord’s honey was absolutely unbearable.

-It’s war!!

At Prey’s declaration Alpheheim fell into a crucible of frenzy. Fairies who were exaggerating also immediately stood up from the spot and spread both arms and screamed.

-Uwaaaa! It’s war!

-Attack! Attaaaaack!

-Uh? Up to war isn’t too much? Just scold a bit and come is fine?

-Revenge! Revenge for my precious friend!!!

-...War! Again war!

Like that without Gyuseong knowing inside Gluttony’s dungeon a tiny war was starting.
