"The beginning of this whole mess traces back to when I first reported to the field cleanup squad.
Up until that point, everything had been going smoothly.
'Come on, introduce yourselves. This is our new recruit, Agent Hwagal.'
A middle-aged woman with a scholarly demeanor, who seemed like a kind superior, introduced me and Jang Heo-woon to each other, and we exchanged agent names as if it were our first time meeting.
'Um, I’m Podo… n-nice to meet you….'
'…?! Hm, cough, y-yes….'
Jang Heo-woon had a sudden coughing fit for some reason, but we managed to move past it, and everyone exchanged greetings with smiles.
