The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world episode 26

As the famous painter approached me, Kang-han blocked his way.

It seemed like an instinctive behavior.

Even though one skill has blossomed, Kang Han can’t win if Yoo Myung-hwa decides to attack.

You should be prepared to suffer fatal injuries, and perhaps even more.

But the strong back that protected me was strong.

“I just want to talk to you, Miss Nayeoju?”

“Please get to the point.”

“Well, isn’t it obvious?”

Between Kang-han’s arm and side, the famous painter could be seen wiggling his fingers holding a business card.

“Mr. Kang, I think it’ll be okay.”

So, step aside.

There’s only a refrigerator so you can’t see anything in front of you.

“……All right.”

Kang-han took a step to the side.

Then, he gave the car keys to Lee Yu-chan, who was awkwardly wandering nearby, and gave instructions.

“Go by car.”

“Yes, Lady Yeoju! Come quickly. I’m hungry.”

Oh, I’m not hungry.

Since the conversation wasn’t going to be long anyway, I just waved my hand and sent Lee Yu-chan into the car.

But Kang Han did not go with Lee Yu Chan.

I stood tall and alert like a tree that had taken root in the space next to me so that I could talk to Yumyeonghwa.

“Okay, then. Let me formally introduce myself again. I am Yu Myeong-hwa, the leader of the Dongbaek Guild.”

The famous painter spoke to me while handing me a business card with a large camellia flower drawn on thick, luxurious Korean paper.

“Yes, but I don’t have a business card. I have nothing to give you.”

“It’s okay. I know you well, Miss Na Yeo-ju.”

It was a statement with a strange nuance.

But I guessed that you would have looked into my past from the moment you rushed to recruit me.

I shrugged and took it lightly.

“I think I know what you’re going to say without even having to listen. Are you asking me to join the Dongbaek Guild?”

“You already know this. We are willing to offer you the best conditions possible from any guild. That’s why I contacted you to explain those conditions, but I couldn’t get through.”

“Because I’m not interested.”

Honestly, even if I bring in hundreds of billions, it’s just cyber money to me.

If you don’t help Kang-han and save this world from the end, everything will disappear.

So, I guess you’d be interested.

“You are so decisive.”

The famous painter tilted his head slightly to the side and smiled.

Wow, this lady is really dangerous.

Not only the external conditions, but also the sexiness and the leisurely attitude that is characteristic of the strong are especially attractive.

It seems like I can seduce anyone if I put my mind to it?

But I am not.

“I have to be firm. Then, Mr. Yoo Myung-hwa won’t waste any more time on me.”

“I don’t quite understand. Rather than rolling around in a swamp like the Justice Guild, wouldn’t it be better to choose our Dongbaek Guild, or any of the other four major guilds, and work comfortably?”

“That’s true, though.”

I felt Kang Han flinch slightly next to me.

“I also know that Ms. Na Yeo-ju has invested a significant amount of her lottery winnings into the Justice Guild. However, if Ms. Na Yeo-ju signs a contract with us, we are willing to give her that amount of money as a deposit right away. Of course, this money has nothing to do with her annual salary, living expenses, or dungeon raid rewards.”

These are enormous contract terms.

If I were someone who didn’t know the end of this world, I would have grabbed her hand right away.

So you probably don’t understand why I don’t even bat an eyelid at your suggestion.

“Is there any other reason? Why does Ms. Na Yeo-ju have to be in the Jeongui Guild?”

It’s not a simple question.

This girl has good instincts too.

But I answered lightly, as if I didn’t know about such implications.

“I owe the Guild of Justice a debt of gratitude.”

“Hmm, it’s a debt of gratitude.”

“In fact, there is no citizen of the Republic of Korea who does not owe a debt to the Justice Guild.”

Because the gate opened and saved a country that was on the verge of destruction.

In fact, there are many countries that have disappeared from the map.

“But it pisses me off that everyone treats the Justice Guild like it’s on the bottom.”

“That’s because of the guild leader Kang Young-won’s reckless dungeon raid… … .”

I raised one hand and stopped Yu Myeong-hwa from speaking.

Because if I listen to it any more, I feel like I’m going to explode.

It’s a misunderstanding that will be resolved someday, but it makes me even more upset because I know what the future holds.

“And you’re suggesting that I be recruited just to be used as one of Dongbaek’s parts?”

“It’s not a part, but I do hope that you’ll become a member of the guild and take charge of one axis.”

“That’s it.”

“I like it when you’re honest, Miss Nayeoju.”

The popularity of Yuminghwa has increased.

That’s a good thing.

There will be times when you will need help from the Dongbaek Guild in the future, and since Yuminghwa has a distinct personality with many likes and dislikes, it would be good to gain her favor in advance.

I don’t think you dislike being direct, so I guess we can talk more comfortably.

“But honestly, I’m not the type of person who would go somewhere and be just an accessory, right?”

“ha ha ha!”

In the end, the famous painter burst into laughter.

Looking at her pretty face as she smiled, I said it again with certainty.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of joining the Dongbaek Guild. I will decline your offer.”

I’ve said everything I wanted to say.

“Oh, and I’m going to be super busy for a while, so don’t keep calling me. I won’t answer.”

After saying that, I turned around and gently pushed Kang-han’s shoulder toward the parking lot.

At that moment, a masculine sound was heard once again.

When I looked back in surprise, I saw that Yu Myeong-hwa’s favorability rating had risen again.

《 ♥ 12 》

What, are you the type of person who likes being rejected?

While I was bewildered by this new type of person, the famous painter spoke with his characteristically charming smile.

“See you later, Miss Nayeoju.”

She’s pretty, but I think she’s a little strange.

I pushed Kang-han’s back hard, even though he didn’t seem to be moving very well for some reason.

You shouldn’t hang out with people like that.

Get dyed.

This is a big problem.

After returning to the guild headquarters in Jongro, I called out to Lee Yu-chan, who was about to go up to his room.

“Lee Yu-chan.”

“yes.”

“I apologized for what happened today, but you know you didn’t do anything right?”

“……i know.”

Lee Yu-chan answered gloomily.

Still, since there are signs of reflection, I don’t think I need to give a long speech.

“School violence is bad. Next time something like this happens, don’t rush in and go see the teacher. Since you’ve already turned things upside down once, you won’t be able to just try to cover it up like this time. Tell that to Lee Yu-eul too.”

“Yes, that will never happen again… … .”

“Fight outside.”

“Huh?”

“What the ‘huh’? If you piss me off, remember it and beat me up when you meet me in the dungeon or training ground.”

This is something I said to student Kwak Ji-hyeon, but the moment you leave the fence called school, no matter how minor you are, you are just an awakened person.

Any fights or conflicts that occur at that time are under the jurisdiction of the Awakening Association, not the school.

And the Association is tolerant of and generally uninvolved in fights between Hunters.

Unless there are too many people involved.

For example, if there is a fight between guilds, whichever side wins will suffer a loss to national power, so we only intervene and mediate.

“You just have to not hit anyone on campus.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“And never forget what happened today.”

Yuchan’s large eyes looked at me.

“This one incident won’t change the atmosphere at school. Not to mention outside of school.”

Unless there is a major incident or accident, the world does not change that easily.

“That doesn’t mean you have to give up. You just have to become stronger.”

In a world ruled by the law of the jungle and classism, the strong are the best.

“So that your loved ones will never be ignored again. Do you understand?”

Lee Yu-chan nodded.

At the same time, there was a change in the favorability speech bubble.

Pyoro-rong-

《 ♥ 9 》

Cute kid.

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I watched the door close with a click and a little quickly.

“Thank you.”

Kang Han, who was nearby, spoke immediately.

“Aren’t you going to the Dongbaek Guild?”

It was said half-jokingly.

But Kanghan looked serious.

“I learned a lot today. Maybe it’s not me but Na Yeo-ju who is the right person for the job.”

oh.

Kang-han is joking.

I deliberately exaggerated and blushed to match it.

“Don’t say such scary things! It’s terrifying just to imagine!”

Then, something unexpected happened.

Pyoro-rong-

The notification sound was the same.

《 ♥ 10 》

Also, favorability ratings go up.

But at that moment, another letter appeared next to it.

《 ♥ 10 : Colleague 》

A kind of keyword was created.

But there was something else that surprised me even more.

“Let’s do better in the future.”

It was a faint smile on Kang-han’s face.

* * *

Tomorrow is the day when the training grounds will finally be completed.

The guild’s weekday morning scene was always similar.

After seeing the twins off to school, Kang Han and Jang Su-ho head to the mountains to train.

And what’s left is me and Han Ji-seong.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you yesterday or today?”

Even before that, he rarely came out of his room.

I heard you were busy with some research.

“I’m bored.”

I hate it when it’s too quiet, so I played music on my phone.

A song flowed like that.

A strange sensation tickles the back of my head.

Two songs flowed.

No, what’s going on?

Three songs flowed.

I opened my eyes, which I had forced myself to close, and got up from the sofa where I was lying.

“Hey! This feeling is never wrong!”

That’s why I’m even more irritable!

I just grabbed my cell phone and went down to the second floor where Han Ji-seong’s room was.

Yeah, my instincts could be shit.

First, I knocked on the door quietly.

dripping.

“Mr. Han Ji-seong, are you alive?”

There is no answer.

It might be in the bathroom.

I waited a moment and knocked again.

But still there was no answer.

“Throwaway.”

This time I tried calling.

“I can hear the bell ringing.”

The phone rang faintly from beyond the door, but Han Ji-seong did not answer.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would be writing this.’

I took the master key I received on the day I moved out out of my cell phone wallet.

It is given to all guild members in preparation for emergencies.

After struggling until the very end, I held up my card key and the lock opened with a beep.

“I’m going in.”

The moment I opened the door with a loud noise, I saw Han Ji-seong.

Han Ji-seong is lying unconscious on the floor.

And then suddenly I realized that it was so cold in the room.

Enough to make your breath bleed.

Han Ji-seong did not collapse from simple overwork.

This was the scene right before a runaway due to dark addiction symptoms.
