The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world episode 13

Han Ji-seong avoided my gaze without answering.

The face turned sideways looks like a statue.

But what’s important now isn’t appreciating art.

“How can I not have a single penny?”

Lee Yu-chan’s words that there was nothing to exploit in the Jeongui Guild were not wrong.

This guild is really empty.

“I guess I was busy paying off my debts all this time.”

“Still, that’s true.”

I should have known when the elevator was left broken in a four-story building with high ceilings.

The Justice Guild, which had paid off 25 billion won in debt with my investment, was really starting from scratch.

“You paid off 24.9 billion won and the remaining money was used to pay overdue utility bills?”

The power almost went out.

It was dizzying to imagine Lee Yu-chan practicing archery in a basement where there was no light.

I was lost in thought for a moment.

It was as expected, but when I actually looked at the ledger, the seriousness of the situation began to creep in.

The Justice Guild needs money.

What are some ways I can make money right now?

While I was thinking about it for a moment, Han Ji-seong opened his mouth.

“It’s because of my lack of ability. I should have tried to find more active sources of additional income.”

“A side income?”

Han Ji-seong nodded and took something out of a drawer inside the office.

It was like a chunk of ice a little bigger than a fist.

“This is an ice sculpture made with one of my skills, Ice Spear.”

“Is this an ice spear?”

Usually, ice spears are implemented in the form of ice spears, literally.

The higher the awakening level, and the more magic power is put into it, the larger the size and the more destructive power it has.

But no matter how I looked at it, the ice crystal in front of me was a slightly rough sphere.

“Is this by any chance a carved ice spear?”

“you’re right.”

Oh, lotto god.

My head was dizzy from the development that hit me in the back of the head.

“If you use magic power, you also consume a lot of stamina.”

“Yes.”

“But you often go wild, Master Guild.”

This time, he just nodded without answering.

It’s even more absurd to see the silver-spun hair fluttering with the movement.

“So you’re going to make this and go crazy, make this and go crazy and stuff like that?”

“… … Not that often.”

“Anyway, it’s said that they’ll run wild. Even if they don’t do a separate dungeon raid.”

This time again, the unanswered yes.

“By any chance, is it your dream to live a short life?”

“……yes?”

“No, if that’s the case, I won’t bother to stop you.”

Even in , Han Ji-seong did not live long.

Because his body, which had been going wild and wild, was weak in the magic world, he eventually died before he could get past the middle of the novel.

But one of the reasons was because of this side income.

“Yes, if we hadn’t done this, the Justice Guild would have fallen long ago. I understand that feeling.”

I said this while touching the ice crystal that Han Ji-seong had created with my fingertips.

It is refreshingly cool, so it is suitable for use as a refrigerant in Mana Stone air conditioners and Mana Stone refrigerators.

“Don’t do this anymore.”

“But Han-i’s, that is, the guild leader’s mining income alone is not enough to maintain the Justice Guild.”

“It’s okay. We’re going to make a lot of money from now on.”

At that moment, a pink heart popped up from Han Ji-seong with a clicking sound.

《 ♥ 10 》

“What are your plans?”

Hey, look at this guy.

Was it so exciting to hear that you could make money?

How hard must it have been for you to manage your frugal household?

For a moment, I felt sorry for the hardships this ice prince must have endured.

“… … Wait a minute. It’s not like you can press it like a vending machine.”

It was when I was racking my brain, avoiding Han Ji-seong’s bright gaze.

[ pumpkin! ]

A pop-up window appeared on my phone with a notification.

It was a message from someone who wanted to buy some of the items I had listed on the pumpkin market.

The place we were supposed to meet was Mangwon Station, which is right near my house.

“I’ll be back shortly.”

I stood up from my seat and showed the pumpkin market screen to Han Ji-seong.

… … It’s not like I’m running away because I can’t come up with a plan.

* * *

After arriving home a little earlier than the agreed time, I packed up all the remaining furniture and arrived at Mangwon Station where we had agreed to meet.

As I was looking around, someone approached me cautiously and asked.

“Are you… a pumpkin?”

“Oh, yes. Are you the person who bought the furniture?”

“Yes, that’s right. But the thing… … .”

The man driving the small delivery truck tilted his head.

“It’s in subspace. Can I put it there?”

“Wow, you’re an Awakened One. Yes, that’s right.”

After taking out the bed frame, desk, bookshelf, and dining table from the subspace and making a cool deal, I took the subway back to the Justice Guild.

[ pumpkin! ]

“What, again?”

It’s nice when someone shows up to buy right away, but this person was quite picky.

It’s far from a cool deal.

“You’re being very picky.”

After haggling over the price from Mangwon-dong to Jonggak Station, we finally reached an agreement.

[ Ssagaessagae: Sir, are you available to trade right now? ]

Besides, he has a hasty personality.

[ I am the heroine: I don’t know because I am on the move. Where would you like to meet? ]

[ Ssagaessagae: It would be nice if it was Jonggak Station. ]

“Okay, let’s just sell everything.”

It’s not like it’s a losing business.

[ I am the heroine: Okay, then let’s meet at Cheonggye Plaza in 10 minutes. ]

When I arrived at Cheonggye Plaza, I deliberately took out some items from the subspace in advance.

Unlike the fierce attempts to haggle down the price, the items they decided to buy were small items.

And this time someone asked from behind.

“Are you a pumpkin by any chance?”

“Yes, that’s… … . What is it, you guys?”

The pumpkin buyers were familiar faces.

“You guys, shouldn’t you be at school? Why are you here?”

“I finished early today because it was a shortened class… … . Oh, but were you a pumpkin seller?”

Yu-eul opened her eyes wide and asked.

“Ah, so your nickname is your real name.”

Yuchan nodded his head as if he realized it too late.

“It’s a pumpkin, and a nickname. Oh, really.”

Today, I looked up at the clear Seoul sky and took a deep breath.

“Let me ask you something. Why do you buy things like this at the pumpkin market?”

These are things I posted, but they aren’t worth any money.

If you’re just using it because it’s cheap, then that’s fine.

“… … Sell it.”

Lee Yu-chan answered mumblingly.

“If I buy them cheap, raise the price a little, and then sell them at the pumpkin market, I can make some pocket money.”

“Pocket money? Oh, pocket money.”

It was obvious even without any explanation.

They were also high school students with thick hair, so they couldn’t have asked the guild that was struggling financially for pocket money.

But still, it is like that.

“No, we also think it’s a bit shameful to do this at the pumpkin market… … .”

“Is that the problem now?”

“Isn’t that a problem?”

“The problem is not your moral conscience, but that you are wasting your precious time earning pocket money!”

Lee Yu-chan and Lee Yu-eul are twins with enormous potential.

Just like all other guild members, they have limited skills and cannot do their best, but they have a bright future ahead of them.

But those kids, let alone training, have to worry about money.

“Follow me.”

“Where are you going?”

“Where, where is it? A guild.”

* * *

An emergency meeting of the guild was called by the authority of the management.

But the inside that I thought had already burst out of Han Ji-seong and the twins burst out twice more.

“So, I came after working part-time as a delivery man.”

“I don’t like going into dungeons. The Hunter Market logistics loading and unloading costs three per day.”

“Ha, and the guild leader came back from that damn mining again.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

But looking at the red scar around Kang-han’s chin as he answered like that, it was clear that he had not been mining but had been to an illegal dumping site.

At the same time, my patience was running out.

“What do you think will change if you only do part-time jobs and side jobs?”

I saw the guild members all start to cry at my words.

You’ve been working hard all this time, so hearing something like this would make you mad.

“But the guild needs money.”

Kang-han said in a firm voice.

But that made me even more upset.

“I paid off all the debts. But no one has come to me with any suggestions on what to do next.”

The area around the round conference table became deathly quiet.

“What’s scary about poverty is that you get used to that helpless situation.”

If you don’t have money, you can’t plan for the future.

This is because immediate survival and paying off debts take priority.

but.

“I made it clear when we signed the contract. I’m not lending you 25 billion, I’m investing it. So, rather than thinking about paying it back, you should be determined to achieve results and increase my investment.”

Although it was a sharp remark, Kang-han did not get angry.

He must have realized his own mistake.

“So now everyone quits their part-time jobs.”

I looked at Kang Han once more and said.

“Let’s come up with a plan to call my investment.”

“What should I do?”

As expected, Han Ji-seong asked right away.

Because he is the one who knows the Guild of Justice better than anyone else, maybe even stronger than anyone else.

“First of all, I spent the whole day checking on the status of the Guild Leader and the Justice Guild.”

Five eyes were focused on me at the same time.

“The financial situation was dire.”

A heavy silence fell among the team members.

The last incident where the guild was almost seized made everyone realize how serious the current situation is.

“So I made some plans for the future.”

Since I had a long story to tell, I took a sip of water and continued talking.

“First of all, we’re going out to dig a dungeon in four days.”

“Mining?”

Jang Su-ho opened his eyes wide and asked back.

And as expected, Kang Han came out strong.

“Mining is not allowed.”

“Why not?”

“… … In any case, mining is not allowed.”

I don’t need to say anything about the inside of that wall-like window.

“You don’t want your guild members to be made fun of in the job market like you were, guild leader?”

“brother…….”

At my words, Lee Yu-chan looked at Kang-han with a face that looked like he was about to cry.

It was the same for other people.

All along, I had only heard Kang-han say that he would handle it alone, but I didn’t know why.

I continued to speak with momentum.

“But to be honest, the current Justice Guild would be a laughing stock wherever it went.”

“Ms. Na Yeo-ju.”

Kang-han called my name in an angry voice.

But that’s not wrong, right?

“I’m not just trying to insult you, I’m just saying that this is the reality. But you can’t keep living like this just because you don’t want to be laughed at for a little while, right?”

“I think what Yeoju said is right, Hana.”

Han Ji-seong intervened from the side.

When Han Ji-seong, who he trusted and followed, said that, Kang-han’s green eyes couldn’t help but shake.

“That’s right, Oppa. It’s been so frustrating. Let’s do something together, no matter what.”

Lee Yu-eul agreed.

I waited for a moment for the emotions among the guild members to die down before speaking.

“Okay, let me explain in more detail. We’re not going to the job market. So don’t worry about that.”

“Then how do you do dungeon mining?”

Jang Su-ho, who is the same age as me, asked.

“Before, the guild didn’t have any money. Now, it does. Me.”

“Then maybe… … .”

It seemed like Lee Yu-chan noticed something.

“I’m going to win the dungeon at auction. Let’s do a proper pickaxe job.”

* * *

Yeouido was once filled with securities firms.

After the dungeon break in nearby Yeongdeungpo, it didn’t take long for some of the damaged buildings to be rebuilt.

But the newly constructed buildings were occupied by new organizations rather than securities firms.

“Found it. The Free Dungeon Auction House.”

There are dozens of dungeons opening and closing all over the world at this very moment.

It was a number that was difficult for even a very small number of hunters in the population to clear.

So each country’s association took responsibility for managing the dungeons so that they wouldn’t break, and distributed them to the guilds as quickly as possible.

But here’s where the problem arises.

The higher the level of the dungeon, the more difficult it is to conquer, but the rewards you get are also greater.

The grade of the mana stones inside and the quality of the items dropped by monsters are different.

So, large guilds that usually have a lot of high-level hunters, like the big four guilds, focus on conquering high-level dungeons.

In this way, there will naturally be cases where it is difficult to deal with them, like the Mansu Mountain dungeon last time. The dungeon auction house is where auctions are held to obtain the right to conquer such dungeons.

“Okay, let’s go in.”

The six Justice Guild members, including me, headed to the place where the dungeon auction was about to begin.

It looked like a theater, but the difference was that there was a photo of the inside of the dungeon on the stage and a narrow podium and microphone for the auctioneer.

And of course, as soon as we entered, all eyes were on us.

Kang-han’s face was so famous, and other guild members had also had big accidents for various reasons.

The focused gaze quickly turned into gossip.

An Awakened person sitting nearby was heard talking to the person next to him.

“What? Isn’t that the Justice Guild? Why are those people here?”

Why did you come?

You guys came to bid on the unknown Nodaji dungeon.
