230. Library Quest (1)

Let’s ask the party members for help, saying that there is too much people’s attention.

Everyone stepped forward and started helping.

“Yes, it is me. “Sophia.”

“Ah, junior. Well, you can take a picture! Would you like an autograph too? Ah, that’s done!? Why!!”

Click─

Click─

Hmm.

‘Is this good…?’

I thought that if I went around with party members, attention would be divided.

It was much more effective than expected.

Almost like a gatekeeper…?

It’s a place I go to every day anyway

Academy,

And it’s the only house connected to the academy by a space moving Jin.

You only need to divert attention from the academy where people flock

After receiving help from the party members, my daily life felt not much different from before.

“We are really popular. Right.”

While watching Sofia and Gaeul doing fan service, Yuri Lee said from the side.

‘Well, if you think about it, wasn’t Gukbap a small citizen like me? What about him?’

Suddenly, a curiosity rose.

“Gukbap. Don’t you feel uncomfortable because you’re so famous?”

“Huh? “Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

“Yes, because everything you do is noticed in front of people. “Don’t you feel like you need to be careful about something and it bothers you?”

Then Yu-ri Lee put her finger to her mouth and muttered… She made a sound of concern.

“Well, specifically? What can I say… I think I dreamed of something like this one day.”

“You dreamed it? What is it like to become this famous?”

“Well, rather than becoming famous, that’s what being a hunter is all about. “The more people you save, the more enthusiastic they become.”

“Ah.”

“I have admired hunters on TV since I was young. People are giving me so much attention like that. Well, I guess I’m doing well… I felt like I was being recognized. Honestly, I’m happy. Hehe, does it seem a bit indulgent?”

Yuri Lee said and scratched the back of her head.

‘It’s definitely different.’

Unlike me, who came from the modern world where there are no such things as gates or monsters.

Those who were born and raised in this world of Velvet School Life seemed ready to accept this life from the time they chose the profession of hunter.

“My junior!! “I’ll give you an autograph, come here!!!”

“Okay, that’s enough!!!”

Even senior Gaeul, who always seemed like a loser, is willing to respond to the attention people give her.

“······It’s cool.”

“Huh? “Huh, it’s cool?”

“Actually, I couldn’t imagine life like this. I become the object of someone’s interest and enthusiasm.”

“Um, really? Then Jin Yuha, why did you become a hunter?”

‘······Why did you become a hunter?’

Yuri Lee’s question suddenly made me look back on my past.

Actually, at first I was playing a phone game and for some absurd reason I got sucked into this worldview.

I was possessed by some trash character.

We can’t let the world that is destined to be destroyed be destroyed,

Because I don’t want to die again. That was the main reason I came to Velvet Hunter Academy.

In other words, I had no particular sense of mission.

However.

If you ask me now why I live so hard, going through the hardships day after day, day after day…

I stared at Yu-ri Lee, who was making eye contact while waiting for my answer.

“As expected, I think it’s because of you guys.”

Then Yuri Lee’s pupils got bigger.

A face that turns bright red as if it is quite embarrassed.

“What, what what what what!?”

Yes, I like seeing things like this.

A grin escaped.

“W-what did you just say!? Again! Say it again! Jin Yuha!”

“Well, let’s think about the second broadcast. Our first room was so big. If the reputation gets any bigger than this, I think even useless people will get involved.”

“No, don’t change your mind! “What did you say!?”

“I guess Rina is in the chairman’s office right now?”

“Hey!!! Jin Yuha!!!”

Leaving behind Yu-ri Lee, who was shouting my name, I headed to the chairman’s office.

* * *

“It was broadcast twice. Let’s cut it down to once.”

I went straight to the chairman’s office.

I spoke directly to Lina.

Then, Jammin frowned.

“Hmm, Jin Yuha. Before that, first of all, I’m not someone you can suddenly come and meet just because you want to meet me.”

“Yes? “I heard you can do that?”

“······Who.”

“Master.”

“······.”

Lina was momentarily speechless.

“Hmm. Damn… Baek Seol-hee, what on earth are you saying to that child? Anyway, what? “Please reduce the broadcast?”

“Yes, we appeared on TV this time and made a pretty big splash. “Isn’t this enough that the Chairman’s goal has been achieved?”

I spoke in the most confident voice possible.

Chairman Lina looked down at me with an annoyed expression and stroked her chin.

A face as if he had caught the number.

“Okay. I admit it. You guys are definitely appearing on the broadcast. “Now we have a reason to bothersome contact.”

“Then…”

“However, it is impossible.”

“Oh, why?”

“Didn’t you do that the other day when we were talking about Hwaryong? “I can’t use my power carelessly.”

I nodded my head in response to her question.

“For the same reason. “I must not even utter words carelessly.”

“······Words?”

“Especially with debt. Even in the case of promises made to someone, they must be kept. Hmm, please reduce the broadcast by one… “Do you remember Jin Yu-ha?”

“What?”

“At the beginning of admission, there was an incident where you were mistaken for Mine.”

Ah, that time.

I remember.

Obviously, raising the ability level using goods for the first time raises suspicion.

An incident that was misunderstood as Mine.

Since Jin Yuha had not done anything before, there were enough circumstances to raise suspicion.

When it was proven that it wasn’t the case, I received a proper apology. Utopia was also formed at that time.

“At that time, I gave you permission to ask for help once and for all. Do you remember?”

“Yes.”

Of course I remember it.

Because I have a place to use it soon.

But why is that story suddenly happening?

“If you consume that, you can reduce the broadcast from 2 episodes to 1 episode.”

“······.”

No. That’s a robbery!

Let’s make an expression like, “Do I really have to do that?”

Lina chuckled.

“This means that you should not take your promise with me carelessly. No matter how trivial it is.”

‘Well, are you saying we should broadcast it after all? But if it attracts more attention than this, it gets a little difficult…’

“Well, either that or do something else I ask for.”

“······Something else?”

“Okay. It’s a request. “My request.”

Meanwhile, Director Rina handed me one of her documents that was lying on her desk.

Palang─

A request that lands naturally in my hands.

────────────────

【 Nomination Request 】 ━ Three people from Utopia.

Request type ━ Investigation request

Request details ━

Investigate and solve the secrets inside the Academy Library.

Request completion reward ━ Exemption from one broadcast. Fire Dragon’s Elixir.

Request period ━ As soon as possible

Client ━ Lina

────────────────

“You have appointed yourself as my successor. Then you can do this easily, right?”

Even though Lina said something in front of me.

I was busy looking at the request.

‘······This is a library quest?’

It was a request I knew.

This is a quest given by Chairman Lina when the reputation of the party controlled by the user reaches a certain level.

‘You’re giving me this now?’

The sooner you receive this, the better.

‘But why now…’

I couldn’t help but express my disapproval while watching the quest.

That’s because the time table I had prepared in advance became a bit ambiguous.

‘Now it’s time for the world to see that Shinga is doing something wrong in China…’

Shinga.

Shin Se-hee’s family.

That family, known as the famous hunter family, is currently messing around under the water in China.

It will explode again soon.

Now, I too have become a 3-star. I was about to proceed with Shin Se-hee’s personal story…

‘Wait, is it possible?’

I scratched my head and tried to control the timing.

Um, this. I think it will work out somehow.

After thinking about it, I raised my head and spoke to Lina.

“Yes. At Utopia, we will accept library research requests. Instead, please pay us the Fire Dragon’s Elixir first.”

“What…?”

“You already made it anyway, right?”

“······As I said just a moment ago, the promise you made to me is not something you make carelessly. Even if the price is paid in advance, the fallout if the request is not achieved will be quite significant.”

Lina stiffened her face.

“They said we are the successors. You can succeed. “I will pay you back.”

“Really, you have a great talent for giving people headaches.”

“······Jol?”

“I’ll give it to you even if you don’t say that!!!”

In the end, Chairman Lina exploded and threw out her lion’s hooves.
