Episode 20

5.

Team Leader Kim's resourcefulness was truly remarkable.

Did you say your father was great?

Team leader Kim, who was wearing a small bracelet that his daughter gave him, completed the traffic control very well despite the extreme situation.

“Then, let’s pretend this never happened. “You both agree, right?”

This is the conference room of the Anyang Branch of the Department of Talent Management.

The accident that occurred at Anyang Gate just an hour ago was being resolved much faster than I expected.

An accident in which the representative of Korea's leading guild, the Goblin Guild, was unilaterally thrown to the ground.

If you look at it this way, a truly major accident is a major accident.

Starting with the appearance of the otherworldly people, all the way to CEO Seojin Choi, who was thrown to the ground twice.

These were enough incidents to shake up the Republic of Korea if they leaked out.

“Wouldn’t the guys be able to fight each other a few times? Hahaha! I have no regrets. “Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I tasted spicy food, but my stomach feels refreshed.”

“The representative made a really big concession.”

“What a concession. If you think about it, it happened because I was excited. I guess we should stop our kids from joining... … The chicks were fainting, and we, the kids, were holding on to our senses, not the ones to go and brag! “No complaints.”

Surprisingly, CEO Seojin Choi did not raise any issues at all.

No, in fact, he apologized to me as soon as he got off the ground.

Did you say that you couldn't hold back your passion for victory that was boiling over for the first time in a while?

Anyway, the fire was extinguished so urgently, and after that, we moved here and were discussing what to do next.

“Then I guess we can just cover up this matter.”

Team Leader Kim let out a deep breath and spoke as if he had just had a hard time.

“All by-products from the gate will be taken by the goblin guild. Siwoo, you have no objection, right?”

"yes."

“And CEO Seojin Choi. Please pay special attention to maintaining confidentiality. Because it is a sensitive matter... … .”

“Don’t worry about that.”

CEO Seojin Choi took a refreshing drink of a glass of water, then burst into laughter again and spoke.

“Our children are proud of being part of the Goblin. Would those guys go out and say things like, “Our leader attacked us like a dog in heat and the whole thing broke?” “Hehe.”

“… … A little bit of estrus ... … .”

At my words, CEO Choi smiled while waving his right hand.

“Can I suggest something, Mr. Siu?”

“Of course.”

What question are you trying to ask?

I nodded, and CEO Choi continued speaking with his eyes shining.

“How about forming a partnership with our goblin guild? “There are people here who can prove the partnership agreement, and it will be simple as long as we both agree.”

“Partnership agreement?”

What kind of nonsense is this?

“It’s common on this floor. There is an advantage in being able to share infrastructure, such as participating in raids by joining forces or sharing dungeons.”

“I think there’s some misunderstanding, but aren’t we like a guild? “It’s a religious order, a religious order.”

Despite my explanation, CEO Choi continued speaking with a smile on his face.

“This group includes two awakened people who can overwhelm S-class rankers. Would other people really view it as a simple religious group? Isn’t that right, Team Leader Kim?”

In response to CEO Choi's sudden remark, Team Leader Kim, who was quietly listening to our conversation, also nodded.

“Our ability management department also thinks so.”

“Hehe, look. Mr. Siwoo. This is not a problem that is so easy to think about. Don't forget that quite a few people are already watching Siwoo. Some are already moving... … Oh, you just need to think about partnerships slowly.”

After completing his business, CEO Choi stood up from his chair without hesitation.

Then he immediately held out his hand to me and said.

“I hope to see you often in the future. Mr. Siwoo.”

"ah… … yes."

“Thanks to you, I was able to gain passion for the first time in a long time. I will make sure to repay this favor. I'll just leave now. Hahaha!”

CEO Choi left the conference room without hesitation with his signature smile, and Team Leader Kim and I looked at him in silence.

Kuung-.

After the door closes.

I said in a drained voice.

“He is not an easy person.”

“Didn’t I warn you in advance?”

“I did. But who knew it would be like that?”

“Still, I’m glad that things went much easier than I expected. “I think CEO Choi really liked Siwoo.”

Why does it sound so creepy to say that that muscular beast man liked me?

After shivering slightly, I asked Team Leader Kim while drinking the coffee that was placed in front of me.

“When can I return with Leo?”

“The basic inspection has already been completed. We will take steps to ensure that you can return together. “We will contact you separately later to provide identification, including your awakened registration certificate.”

“It always causes inconvenience.”

“… … Thank you for your understanding.”

When I earn some money later, the first thing I will do is give Team Leader Kim some medicine.

Anyway, the job was completed well.

First, let's take Leo and return home.

6.

My original plan was to change Leo's clothes and then move on.

However, there were no clothing stores nearby, and even if there were, they wouldn't have fit Leo's size.

So I just called a taxi and took a ride.

If Leo and I had the ability to run, we could have run, but we held back because we were afraid that if we did that, a video would be posted on the Internet saying, “A shocking bipedal monster?!”

Because of Leo's size, we took a large taxi, and it is a secret that the taxi driver looked at Leo with fear.

anyway.

“My brother is here.”

I was able to arrive home only after dinner time.

As soon as I open the front door and enter the house, the savory smell of soybean paste stew hits my nose.

I was a little hungry after spending all my energy at the gate and just drinking coffee.

“Oppa!”

I must have been eating when Siyeon came running up with a piece of rice on the corner of her mouth.

I smiled while stroking Siyeon’s head.

“Did Siyeon have a good time at the academy?”

"huh! “What were you doing here?”

“My brother worked hard. ”

“Brother, let’s have dinner together quickly… … oh? You are a guest! hello!"

Siyeon, who was rubbing her face in my arms, found Leo behind me and immediately bowed and said hello.

And Leo reacted to Siyeon’s straight greeting.

"hello?"

I was greeted with an ambiguous expression, wondering if I was smiling or not.

The blunt expression he had on until the moment he was thrown to the ground by my fist has long since disappeared.

He was such a blunt guy that it seemed like even if you stabbed him, not a single drop of blood would come out.

"right."

Now I remembered.

“Aren’t your kids really pretty?”

Even in Eden, Leo took exceptionally good care of the children.

Whenever I had time, I would go to the orphanage in the parish I was in charge of and work with the children.

However, because I had no tact, I always stood stiffly in front of the children.

At my words, Leo looked at Siyeon and nodded.

“Because children are proof that God has not given up on the world.”

“Say hello. This is my younger brother Siyeon. Siyeon-ah. This guy is called Leo. “He is the one who will help you with your work from now on.”

“Hello, Uncle Leo. You're really tall! it's awesome!"

Leo pauses for a moment at Siyeon’s praise.

He looked like he was thinking about what to say for a moment, but he immediately nodded his head stiffly and answered.

“Thank you for the compliment, Siyeon. It is called Leo Lumen. Please take care of me in the future.”

It was around the time we were greeting each other at the entrance.

“Brother came… … .”

I was editing a video in my room when Inwook came out of the small room.

As soon as Inuk saw Leo, he turned to ice in place.

That's certainly the reaction most people have when they see Leo for the first time. Siyeon's reaction is a bit unusual, as she is not scared and smiles brightly.

I said to Inwook while scratching my cheek with my finger.

“Didn’t you tell me earlier that you were bringing a missionary?”

“… … “Is that person, or is he, a missionary?”

“Even though he looks like this, he is a very revered priest in Eden. He was also the most trustworthy companion in the war against demons. “You two say hello.”

This time too, Leo obediently listened to me.

“My name is Leo Lumen, a faithful servant of Limen. Inwook Kim.”

“Do you know my name?”

“The Holy Father has often said this.”

Um, was it like that?

I don't know either. Did you talk about it while drinking?

Well, whatever. We just need to become closer in the future.

I looked at the two of them for a moment, feeling very awkward, and then roughly took off my shoes while rubbing my hands around my stomach.

“Let’s talk while eating. “Inuk, don’t you eat?”

“I was urgently sending an email while eating.”

“Good. Let's eat together. Leo, you should eat together too, right? “Inuk is amazing at cooking.”

“Is that okay?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done. Are you okay, Inwook? Siyeon?”

"uh? uh… … .”

"huh!"

It is said that Mt. Geumgang is also a view after a meal.

So Leo and I took off our shoes, entered the house, and headed straight to the dining table.

“I thought only my brother would come, so I didn’t prepare much… … “If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to the grocery store earlier.”

“This is a sumptuous feast. Isn’t that right, Leo?”

"you're right. “It seems like each dish was prepared with great care.”

On the table were soybean paste stew, ripe kimchi, and pancakes that my grandmother had made for Chuseok.

“Grandma, when did you say you would come?”

"right. Her grandmother called me yesterday. “She said she made a friend in America and she’ll be back later?”

“You didn’t even answer my phone.”

“You’re really that kind of person.”

I heard that my grandson returned safely from another world, but I feel a little sad.

Because he was a very eccentric person.

I nodded slightly and sat down at the table, and Leo also sat on the chair next to me.

Immediately, I began to feel Leo's sturdy deltoid muscles on my shoulders.

The dining table is definitely narrow.

If I had known this would happen, would I have set the table in the living room and ate it?

Did he seem pitiful to see the two of us like that?

Inwook asks as he puts down the spoon.

“Should we just spread the table and eat in the living room?”

“No… … .”

Siyeon, who was looking at us blankly at Leo's answer, pulled the chair next to her and said,

“Uncle Leo! Eat together next to me. “I’m small, so you’ll be fine.”

Oh my, what a good thing.

Leo glanced at me, and I nodded.

“Then please excuse me for a moment, Siyeon.”

“Hehe, you can feel free to call me Siyeon.”

“You can’t just be rude to the Pope’s younger brother.”

“My brother is the Pope?”

I just smiled and lifted my spoon in response to Siyeon’s question.

“Let’s eat first. hungry."

I'll have to find time to talk to Siyeon later. Now that I think about it, I never told Siyeon what happened in that world.

When you look at things like that, Siyeon seems really mature.

I thought I'd ask first because I was curious.

“Then I will eat well again!”

Siyeon picked up the spoon again.

“I am grateful to Limen for giving me my daily bread today.”

Leo also prayed for a moment and then held his spoon awkwardly.

I also looked at them for a moment and then immediately started eating.

“This is it.”

Because it was so busy, the rice was very delicious.

Savory soybean paste stew and pancakes that look slightly heated in a frying pan.

Every time my mouth started to feel greasy, I put some ripe kimchi in my mouth, and I couldn't be happier.

After all, Koreans are hungry for food.

What I missed most about Eden was this taste.

As the satisfying meal continued, a rather interesting scene unfolded before my eyes.

Squeak.

Leo, who may have never used chopsticks before, shows off his amazing chopstick skills and eats up the rice along with the pancakes at a very fast pace.

“Chopsticks are very difficult the first time you do it, so why are you so good at it?”

“It’s nothing compared to fighting against demonic beasts for 39 hours, isn’t it?”

“That was the subject of comparison in the first place… … No, just keep eating.”

That wasn't all.

The guy ate the soybean paste stew with a spoon without hesitation, then opened his eyes wide and let out an exclamation.

"oh. Limen.”

The exclamation that came at such a sudden timing made me burst into laughter without realizing it.

“Kick.”

“Um, sorry. His Holiness the Pope. Even though it was my first time trying this food, it tasted so good… … .”

“It’s nice to see that the food suits your taste buds. Eat a lot."

I nodded in satisfaction as I watched Leo eat.

I'm going to work hard starting tomorrow, so I should at least cook the rice well.

I heard that the ghosts that died after eating have pretty stains, right?
