Possessed an Academy Security Guard

3 – 003. You dare push me against me?

The text that arrived from the guard was not a notice of acceptance, but a request to attend the guard as a reference in the case of Professor Shin Jin-woo.

As can be seen from the words ‘Professor Shin Jin-woo’s case’, the guards seemed to have successfully uncovered the professor’s crimes.

So the next day. I headed for the guard.

“What are you here for?”

As I approached the front door of the building, the guard on duty asked me.

“I have been called as a witness for the case.”

“Did you get your permit?”

“Yes. Here you go.”

When I showed the permit that arrived via electronic document to the security guard, his expression hardened.

“Is something wrong?”

“No, um.”

A middle-aged security guard who looked to be in his 40s looked at the permit and at my face. Soon, a confused expression appeared on his face.

“…… He, be strong.”

“Yes?”

He tapped me on the shoulder with a sudden short talk. When I asked what was going on, he shook his head.

“During the interview, I heard that Min Chae-ryeong was punched? Rumors are already spreading. The new person who goes to work from next week was taken seriously by that witch.”

“A witch? Stamped? Did I pass?”

“They say so. Why are you happy?”

I wasn’t happy. I was just relieved that I didn’t have to lose my special skills.

Originally, if I had passed the public recruitment anywhere in the world, I wouldn’t know again, because the academy security guard was only doing it because of his skills.

I closed my mouth expressionlessly and he nodded his head as if he understood.

“I guess you’ve heard about the rumors about the manager.”

“What kind of person is Min Chaeryeong, the team leader?”

“What, didn’t you know? Well, I don’t know, so I must have said that boldly in the interview.”

The guard laughed heartily. When I asked about Min Chaeryeong again, he just shook his head quietly.

“Chief Min is a bit obsessive in many ways. If you want to keep your work life normal, you better not draw too much attention.”

Listening to the guard’s cryptic advice, I entered the guard building.

Following the guidance of another employee who soon recognized me, I headed to the reception room located on the 3rd floor of the building.

A well-appointed, modernist drawing room. In the middle of it, Min Chaeryeong was sitting on the sofa, quietly tilting a teacup.

As soon as the staff in charge of her guidance left, she immediately opened her mouth.

“Sit down.”

I wasn’t offended at all by saying short words that came out as if it were natural. Because I could clearly see the emotions hidden behind her expressionless expression.

Min Chae-ryeong has a calm face on the outside, but she occasionally rolls her eyes and she is subtly looking at this side of her eyes.

“Do you know how to drink black tea?”

“I know how to drink.”

“It sounds like you literally only know how to drink.”

“Yes. Fortunately, I am not allergic.”

She smiled and poured black tea into the cup in front of me. A faint scarlet liquid rose to overflowing in the glass.

“To be honest, I don’t know the taste of black tea either. Due to the nature of my work, I have a lot of work to do with political and business figures or high-ranking people, so I only stocked it with a high-end brand. Honestly, I think the taste of tea is all there.”

“I agree.”

At the same time, as if they were talking to each other, they drank black tea. As she said, it was delicious, but it tasted good.

“We’re not going to have tea time together, so I’ll ask you directly.”

She chinned the stack of papers on her table. At the top is a picture of a middle-aged man with her head half-naked, and ‘case file no. 1379’ Was printed in large letters.

“How did you know?”

A concise question. At the same time, Min Chaeryeong’s sharp gaze pierced my forehead.

In an instant, it felt like my heart sank. Even if I was an outsider in this field, I could intuit that she was an unusual person at a glance.

Her pressure, as if the air around her is freezing around her.

I clenched my fists as I faced the pressure head on.

“You obviously didn’t tell me during the interview, did you? I will let you know how I found out the day I leave for work.”

“I mean, but in the end, passing the interview wasn’t the goal, right? If that’s the case, I’ve already solved it. Because I made it through with my authority.”

Recruitment has been decided, now tell me your secret. Min Chaeryeong said so.

“This incident went unnoticed by no one, including the guards. You, an ordinary person, uncovered the whole story of the case. As a team leader, you can’t help but be interested, right?”

I knew that too. I was aiming for such a reaction and said Shin Jin-woo.

Min Chae-ryeong leaned her body forward. The hem of her dress was pulled tight, revealing the outline of her body.

“Then stop talking about it. You must have said about corporate secrets during the interview, right? How did you find out about Professor Shin’s crime? What the hell did you use? Huh?”

A light blush bloomed on Min Chaeryeong’s cheeks.

“Tell me now. Don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret. I’ll be the only one who knows.”

Beyond curiosity, I felt madness in those eyes that urged her to respond. I seemed to understand a little what the security guard on the first floor meant when he said he was obsessive.

“Huh? Can you tell me?”

A face full of anticipation.

I felt bitter at the thought of having to trample on those expectations from now on.

“Is it an illegal method? Are you okay. Quite a few things can be solved on my own line-.”

“I saw it by chance while passing by.”

“…… Uh?”

Min Chae-ryeong’s mouth opened slightly, and her soft exclamation leaked out from between her pink lips.

“…………What?”

Soon, her lips begin to tremble.

“Did you see it by chance? What is that-“

“That’s true. She went to Sokcho Port and accidentally witnessed the trading scenes of suspicious people. At first glance, it seemed like an illegal transaction site, so I hid and watched. Well, one side was Professor Shin Jin-woo. I knew her face after being on TV a few times.”

“After that?”

“That’s it.”

“Are you kidding me?!”

Min Chae-ryeong kicked her seat and stood up, she exclaimed in an exasperated tone.

“What? Is that the end? That can’t be the end!? How did you figure out all the circumstances just by watching the transaction scene?”

“Since I’m still listening, they explain more to each other like villains in a movie? Both of them spoke in Japanese, but I speak Japanese quite well.”

The grade of everyday Japanese I took at university was A+. If it was a decent conversation, it was enough to understand roughly.

However, what Chaeryeong Min cares about right now is probably not my Japanese skills.

“…… Is that really the end?”

“Yes.”

“That makes sense…… ?”

“What makes no sense? If you didn’t see it by chance, would you have thought that I, a common man, would be carrying out some kind of espionage against these illicit traders? I just found it by accident.”

Min Chae-ryeong couldn’t answer what I said and shut her mouth.

It was an absurd excuse, but it was also an excuse that didn’t have anything to hold on to.

Yes, the reason why the main character uncovered this case in the original work was because, like me, he happened to witness the transaction.

‘It’s an episode that takes a break, but it was completely rushed.’

My impression when I read that episode must be Min Chaeryeong’s. Maybe she’s so dumbfounded that she won’t even say a word.

“……In other words, it’s a corporate secret, and it’s a nabal thing, right?”

“If there is one, it’s this uprightness that can’t stand injustice and immediately takes action.”

“Ha.”

She raised her head as if Min Chae-ryeong was dumbfounded, and then she lowered her head with her forehead crossed. Between her lips she let out an intermittent moan.

Seeing that, she felt a little sorry. Because it was me who inflated expectations with her trade secrets and all.

She couldn’t help but make a strong impression, but in the end it’s true that I trampled on her expectations.

“I took it out first because I wanted to bring in a useful kid… ….”

Min Chaeryeong murmured softly. It was excellent to talk to myself because I thought someone might not be a character in a novel.

How much time has passed, she said softly with her head down.

“…… That’s it. Stop going.”

I questioned the knife-like banquet.

“Yes? Is this the end of the investigation?”

“No. When you leave, the staff member who guided you will direct you to the appropriate department. Let’s go there and get the investigation.”

“There is a separate department in charge. Then what was it called here?”

At that, Min Chae-ryeong answered in a dry voice, burying her body in her sofa.

“I told you. She said she sneaked it out first. But now it’s over. I lost interest.”

As he said, Min Chae-ryeong had the attitude that she didn’t care about me. Even though my answer was less than expected, the change in her attitude was too sudden.

‘I can’t figure it out at all.’

If it was a character that appeared in the original work, it would be expected, but Min Chae-ryeong, a guard figure, was an original character, just like An Su-ho, who I possessed. I had no information about her at all.

‘I’ve lost interest in me…’ …. Is there anything to regret?’

As I licked my lips, I remembered the quest reward I had seen yesterday.

An item called ‘Disclosure of final quest reward’ that was accompanied by an increase in expense ratio.

It was unknown information now that the quest had not yet been cleared, but it was not without expectation.

‘The reward for the last quest is probably to send them back home.’

The final reward of ice water is usually like that.

Sometimes there are rewards such as making that world a real world or even becoming the god of that world, but I don’t think the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure is a great person to offer such a reward.

Anyway, in order to return home, I will probably have to clear the final quest, and in order to achieve that goal in this crazy world, I had to preoccupy various talents and connections from the beginning.

And Min Chaeryeong was also one of the candidates for such a “Network”.

The team leader of the security guard, which the writer gave me. In addition, if he even serves as an interviewer, his authority will be different. If it helped the story progress, I had to be close.

However, it doesn’t have to be now.

I wouldn’t regret it if she lost interest in me. She’s at the same job anyway, so there’ll be plenty of opportunities to get close.

“If that’s what the team leader says, I’ll get up now.”

After drinking all the remaining black tea, I stood up from the sofa without regret. Min Chae-ryeong turned her head away and turned away from me. It seemed that she had no intention of even seeing off this side.

“…… Then, I’ll see you on the day I leave for work.”

She nodded and opened the parlor door and stepped out. As Min Chaeryeong said, an employee who guided me was waiting outside.

The moment the parlor door closes.

When she suddenly turned her head, her eyes met Chaeryeong Min’s through the crack in her door.

It was such a moment, so I couldn’t tell what kind of emotion was contained in that gaze.

Her gaze was clearly on me.

***

After Ahn Su-ho left the drawing room.

Min Chaeryeong, who was left alone, was quietly looking at the cold black tea.

A faint smile soon appeared on her face.

In fact, she unilaterally kicked out Ahn Su-ho, saying that her interest had cooled, but the reality was completely different.

‘…… He’s a fun kid.’

Min Chae-ryeong held her chin and chewed on what Ahn Su-ho said.

She said, ‘Let’s say I stumbled upon the smuggling site by giving in one hundred steps.’

‘Professor Shin Jin-woo trades with people from the Japanese academy on the last Thursday of every month.’

‘In other words, if Ahn Su-ho discovered the site, no matter how recent it is, it means that it was the last Thursday of last month. Almost a month ago.’

‘By the way, you discovered such a crime scene and kept your mouth shut for a month? The one who even put in the security guard bond?’

‘I was saving it as a bait to throw at the final interview…… It’s almost impossible to In that case, it would be better to report it to the guards first and make a good impression with it. The only thing that makes sense is that they belatedly realized that what they did was a crime, or-.’

His words that he found it by chance are false, and in fact, he found out about Shin Jin-woo’s crime in some way he didn’t tell her.

Min Chaeryeong instinctively felt it. Ahn Soo-ho knew that she still had a card she was hiding from herself.

As soon as the thought reached that point, a deep smile appeared on her lips.

‘Even if I persistently asked about it, they would have kept saying it was a coincidence. He didn’t mean to tell me in the first place.’

In Chae-ryeong Min’s mind, the image of Ahn Su-ho during the interview came to mind. When asked what basis was there for the accusation against Professor Shin Jin-woo, he shamelessly turned around saying it was a corporate secret.

‘Yes. If it was easy to tell, it wouldn’t be a trade secret.’

Min Chae-ryeong felt her interest in him more and more. She had a ruddy smile on her face.

Min Chaeryeong.

Green House Guard Special Countermeasures Team 2 Team Leader.

She was more ambitious than anyone else in the guards.

I caught those who were interested. She was somehow brought into her own team when she felt useful.

Once she asked, she never let go. I made sure to make the desired talent my own. That was her way

‘One individual surpassed the investigative power of the entire guard. You can never miss it.’

Having made that decision, Min Chae-ryeong called her subordinate on her smartphone.

-Turrr. Pop.

– Yes! It’s vegetable smoke! What are you doing, boss?

A lively voice came from the other side of the phone. The owner of that voice was also one of the ‘talents’ that Min Chaeryeong recruited in such a way.

“I’ll leave you with just one job, So-yeon. It’s not a regular job, it’s a personal request, but can you keep an eye on just one person for the time being?”

A deep smile appeared on Min Chae-ryeong’s lips as she hung up the phone at her answer.

“Aha.”

Instantly, a small smile leaked from between his lips.

‘You dare push me against me?’

Min Chae-ryeong licked her lips as she looked at the door Ahn Su-ho had left.
