Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 15 - The Burden Accumulates



The anomalous phenomenon that unfolded centered on Korea, heavy snowfall in summer.
This phenomenon became quite an issue in Korea and the surrounding areas.
-What is this? Why is it snowing in summer??
-Now even the devil’s dandruff in summer…
-Damn it, the crops are all ruined…
-> Hahahahahaha
-> Ah haha, good luck with that haha
-No, this isn’t something to laugh about, did an S-rank dungeon break or something??
However, nothing beyond the heavy snowfall occurred, so there wasn’t much more interest than that.
In this world where superhumans have appeared, such incidents were more common than one might think. This one was just on a slightly larger scale.
Anyway, while the quickly ignited interest was rapidly subsiding, there were some who became very interested in this phenomenon.
Namely, the powerful superhumans who had somewhat grasped why this phenomenon occurred.
“…It doesn’t seem like they’ve surpassed a wall, but it’s interesting… Has such a powerful person finally appeared in Korea, that small land?”
“It’s not a birth, they surpassed something. Snow…”
“…Damn, this has become really troublesome. Of all things…”
Most of them were interested but didn’t move rashly. They instinctively knew how dangerous such a powerful person could be.
…However, those with circumstances would move despite such danger.
Anyway, regardless of that, the protagonist of this incident, the S-rank superhuman Cheong So-ha, who had definitely surpassed her limit and become stronger, was preparing to go repay her debt of gratitude.
The gratitude she received from Dam Han-ul, which was greater than she had expected.
“Guild Master, we’ve completed all preparations. We’ve also definitely cancelled your schedules for the time being.”
“Good work.”
Cheong So-ha, neatly dressed, answered expressionlessly and then finished her preparations and started walking.
It would be fine to just visit, but she wanted to show her best self to the person who had given her such an opportunity.
“The gifts are all prepared, right?”
“…Yes, everything is perfectly prepared. But Guild Master…”
“There should not be even a small problem. Do you understand?”
“But, Guild Master. No matter how much you’re indebted, I think this is too much. This is…”
“That’s not the answer I want.”
Crack!
A slight change in Cheong So-ha’s emotions.
Just that alone was enough to freeze the entire room solid.
“…Kuk! G-Guild Master…!!”
“…Ah, I guess an adaptation period is still needed…”
Immediately after, Cheong So-ha restored the frozen room to its original state with a single hand gesture and walked out.
“Without any problems… Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes! I-I understand, Guild Master!!”
Ignoring the guild member answering while extremely tense, Cheong So-ha went outside.
“I hope he’ll be satisfied…”
Muttering that, she got into a vehicle and headed towards Dam Han-ul’s house.

Today, as always, an uninvited guest came to our house.
…The only difference might be that this uninvited guest was on a much larger scale?
“Ah, um… What brings you here…”
The guest who visited this time was none other than ‘Winter General’ Cheong So-ha, the head of ‘Cheongson’, one of Korea’s top 10 guilds, and one of only five S-rank superhumans in Korea, a big shot among big shots.
She was that superhuman who had visited before to get her fortune told.
“I came to repay for the fortune I received last time.”
“No, you really don’t have to…”
I hoped she would completely forget about any gratitude or whatever and never think about it for the rest of her life… but it seems she remembered it very clearly. Truly sadly…
“How could I not? I received too much gratitude.”
Cheong So-ha said with a slight smile.
“The reason I came to find you today is also about repaying that gratitude.”
“No, really, I don’t need anything like that, what I received last time was more than enough…”
“How could I close my mouth and pretend not to know after receiving such enormous gratitude that I feel I can’t handle it? At least I’m someone who knows what gratitude is.”
No, if you really know gratitude, just forget about me and never come again! It’s really burdensome!
Such words swirled emptily in my mouth. I couldn’t dare to spit those words out.
Even though she’s showing a favorable attitude towards me now, this beautiful superhuman in front of me is an S-rank superhuman, of which there are only 5 in Korea.
Moreover, seeing how she’s treating me like this, it seems she solved that limit-surpassing or wall-breaking thing well last time and became even stronger… How could an ordinary person like me dare to treat such a person carelessly?
My life could fly away with a single gesture from this person!
‘Fortunately, if I just treat her carefully, I should be fine…’
I felt like there probably wouldn’t be any problem even if I treated her beyond that, but I’m not the type of person who can make such an adventure…
Anyway, since she’s saying this much, it seems this uncomfortable situation will continue unless I accept this ‘repayment’ she’s talking about…
…It might be better to just receive it quickly and end this.
“…Sigh, what kind of repayment is it…?”
“I’ve prepared a few things by racking my brains as much as possible… but I’m not sure if they’ll meet your eyes, Teacher.”
Cheong So-ha laughed softly and then reached into the air and took out a business card and a nameplate, giving them to me.
“Dam Han-ul, External Director of Cheongson Guild…?”
“I’ve arranged it so that you can enjoy benefits without having to work or take on responsibilities. Your exclusive security team will also be assigned in the future, and a high monthly salary will also be paid every month.”
…Another burdensome position has been added on top of the executive position in Bargr Fang.
“…The benefits you can receive are written here, so you can check them. And the second is related to the first matter…”
This time, Cheong So-ha took out a car key and handed it to me, continuing her words.
“This is a vehicle provided to our guild executives. Please use it without hesitation. The vehicle is waiting outside.”
Cheong So-ha playfully pressed a button, and a sound was heard from outside.
I, a common unemployed person with a license but no car, now had my own car.
‘This must be… a very expensive car…?!’
And an expensive one at that!
“The third is shares in our guild.”
Before the shock of the incoming gifts could subside, Cheong So-ha handed over some documents.
“I think it would be more convenient for you to read these documents than for me to explain.”
…My goodness, documents or whatever, shares in Cheongson Guild?!
Moreover, looking at the documents, it wasn’t a small amount. I had acquired a whopping 3% share in Cheongson! Well, I probably won’t have any use for it even if I got it…
“And the fourth and final gift is… nothing too special, just my direct phone number.”
Anyway, as my mind was becoming vague after receiving gifts that seemed impossible to handle one after another, Cheong So-ha smiled softly and handed me a note.
“If you have any difficulties or requests, please don’t hesitate to contact me through this number. I’ll do my best to accommodate whatever I can.”
The smile she made while handing over her own phone number had truly tremendous destructive power, but… fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t very visible to me in my half-dazed state.
“Even if you don’t have any particular business, I hope we can become close enough to have comfortable conversations with each other. I’d be glad if you could contact me often, Teacher.”
“Ah, um… Yes. Well, I’ll… try.”
And seeing me taking an awkward attitude even after receiving such precious and weighty gifts, Cheong So-ha continued to smile brightly.
‘…Is it still, too much? But I’ve at least created a solid connection…’
These gifts were ones that Cheong So-ha had really thought hard about.
It was virtually impossible to monopolize this man with such amazing talent unless she had discovered him earlier, so these were gifts meant to strengthen her connection with him and to build a deep relationship while giving gifts that would be sufficient repayment.
…And, of course, there was also personal fondness.
How could she not have affection for a man who had so simply allowed her to look at a distant realm that she couldn’t have even dreamed of reaching no matter how hard she tried for her entire life?
At least for someone like Cheong So-ha, it was natural. Though it probably wasn’t just her thought.
“Ahem, talking has made me a bit thirsty. Could I perhaps have something to drink?”
“Ah, yes. Something to drink… Of course I should bring you something…”
After having an unhurried conversation with her teacher like that, Cheong So-ha left the house after talking for a while, promising to meet again, and only then did I let out a deep sigh that had been suppressed.
“Haah… This is so burdensome…”
I feel like I’m going to go crazy because of things like this seemingly causing persistent stomach pain these days.
Riiiing~ Riiing~~!!
“Ah… What day is it today…?”
As if Cheong So-ha wasn’t enough, I even got a call from Hatieri.
[Hey! Teacher! Are you doing well? It seems like some interesting things have happened in Korea!]
“Hatieri… It’s been a while.”
[Haha! It has been a while, hasn’t it? I’m hurt, Teacher! I even left you my direct contact, but not a single call from you! Contact me often from now on, okay~?]
“I’ll… try to make an effort…”
[Hahah! Really? Then I’ll have to trust you. Ah, and I’m planning to visit Korea soon, so let’s meet face to face then, okay?!]
“Haah… Y-yes…”
After having a conversation with the still energetic Hatieri and even inadvertently making a promise, I collapsed onto the floor with all my energy completely drained after ending the call.
“…I really feel like I’m going to lose my mind. No wonder I felt ominous last night…”
However, unfortunately for Dam Han-ul, who was lying pitifully on the floor, there were still guests to come.
“…Ah, is this Korea?”
…And it was an unexpected big shot from Japan!
“It doesn’t feel special even though I’ve come after a long time since I can’t see…”
This very eye-catching figure smiled slightly while wearing sunglasses and moved his steps.
“Right, what’s the use of sightseeing~. I should finish the business I came here for first.”
…However, it was Dam Han-ul’s tiny bit of luck that he wouldn’t come right away in succession.
