Chapter 291 – Senior at Work Who Hates Me (3)

The time I arrived at the company was in the middle of the day, around 11:00 am, a little before lunchtime.

After spending a lot of time visiting Ah-Reum’s workshop, getting the Mithril Greatsword, and traveling from there to the company, I ended up arriving at this halfway time.

For lunch, I ate it moderately while moving to triangle gimbap I bought at a convenience store. Eating alone at the company cafeteria seemed a bit burdensome.

Not only did he not want to wear an unknown mask even inside the company, and it was impossible to eat in the first place while wearing it.

And going to work in the middle of the day wasn’t the only downside in its own way.

At this time of day, there was a possibility that the inside of the dungeon was a little quieter. It’s time to fill the quota early and get off work or have an early lunch.

I was still focusing attention simply because I was a male hunter, so it was better if there were as few other people as possible.

I didn’t want to attract the attention of people other than party members as if I was looking at a meerkat in a zoo.

“Hey, there…”

“… Pretend you didn’t see pretend not to see Just now, ‘that senior’ came and left.”

I still feel a strange gaze every time I enter the company, but compared to the first day, the concentration of that gaze has definitely decreased.

… I think it’s only been about a week since I first visited the company.

Were rumors supposed to fade so quickly? I’m more comfortable this way though.

I’ll have to ask Hyeeun or Minah later. Is the company atmosphere like this originally?

After getting on the company elevator, I immediately pressed the elevator’s 14th floor button and moved to the meeting room of the Azure Shield.

I wondered if there were any other party members left. It would be better to enter the dungeon together rather than alone.

If Hye-eun is left, she will be able to make a good combination as a shield soldier and swordsman. In addition, I’ll be able to test my shield skills as well.

If Yuri was left, it wouldn’t be bad to hunt with a sense of competition like last time. Or you could try practicing that explosive magic combo from before.

If Mina remained, she would be able to hunt much more efficiently than hunting alone based on Mina’s search ability. Or, you can easily explore places like ancient ruins with many traps by dividing roles.

… If there was only one Cheon Ji-hee senior, the situation would have to be a bit awkward.

Well, if we really run into each other, we can use this time as an opportunity to become friends. No matter how friendly they were, if they met face to face several times, affection would develop.

If the two of us can go out alone, there might be a situation where we can raise our affinity.

Of course, I know that things aren’t going to work out that well. Perhaps even if I enter the meeting room now, there is a higher probability that Chun Ji-hee will not be there.

Right now, it would be a time when he would still be in the dungeon, or an ambiguous time before he even went to work in the afternoon.

Even if the morning schedule ended a little early, there’s a good chance you’ll be at the restaurant.

With that thought in mind, I opened the half-open door of the Sky Blue Shield meeting room and stepped inside, but contrary to my pitiful expectations, only Cheon Ji-hee was left in the meeting room.

Profit.

“I went to work.”

“…”

“…”

That too, with the front of her hair undone and her breasts exposed.

“… Ah.”

A low exclamation escaped from my mouth, and a short thought bubbled up in my head.

Ruined.

Why does a situation that seems to come out of a love comedy cartoon, such as accidentally opening the door while changing clothes inside, happen all of a sudden.

Of course, if it was a real love comedy, the other person feels a crush on the main character, so it could end with an event that asks them to leave feeling ashamed.

Unfortunately, the reality is not a love comedy, and the object in front of me was that my affinity for me was hitting the bottom.

If it had been Hyeeun, Cha Yu-ri, or Min-ah, I would have been able to play a joke rather smirkingly.

In this current situation, shutting up and bowing my head was the best I could do.

“I’m sorry, senior. Seriously, I didn’t expect you to change clothes…”

“… It’s unusual to say that he’s a man, and that he’s seen some women’s breasts.”

“… Yes?”

I hurriedly apologized, thinking that it was wrong to get close to Cheon Ji-hee in this life, but she did not respond to my apology, only wrapping her white cloth around her chest.

“I only took it off for a while to wipe off the sweat between my breasts.”

“…”

“It’s common for your clothes to come loose while moving during battle, but if you’re going to make a big fuss about it, just give up on hunters.”

… Oh, yes. In this world, women’s breasts were originally treated like this.

Treated like a man’s breasts in the original world. It’s embarrassing, so I don’t put it out anywhere, but it’s a part that doesn’t cause controversy just because it’s visible.

In that respect, my appearance just now should have looked like the reaction of a male bachelor who was embarrassed by something like a woman’s breasts.

… For some reason, my pride is suddenly hurt.

“I see. If you don’t care, I don’t care too much.”

“… Now come and pretend to be strong.”

“Aren’t you pretending to be strong?”

“Ah, yes.”

Senior Cheon Ji-hee, who listens to my words, sighs and presses her breasts to cover them again.

Watching the scene in silence, for a moment, in my head, I felt more of a sense of wonder than of lust.

… I never thought the size I saw before would have been smaller than the original size.

Even though it was wrapped with pressure cloth, it was surprising in many ways that the breasts that showed off their presence had shrunk.

Just looking at the size I saw at first glance before wrapping it in cloth, I think it was bigger than Hwayoung sunbaenim.

Well, it seems that you are digesting the same ability as a fighter who has to move your body violently with such a big chest.

“Is your senior at work?”

“…”

“Chun Ji-hee senior?”

“… Why.”

“Are you leaving work now?”

“… What do you know?”

… If you openly hate me like this, no matter how much I am, I will be hurt a little bit.

Still have to come As much as she was determined to mend the relationship once, she couldn’t give it up with this iron wall.

And for the future development of Azure Shield, Cheon Ji-hee’s existence was quite important. Because she was an A-class hunter capable of defense and close combat.

In the first place, not only her, but countless people would look at me as a male hunter with a strange gaze or be embarrassed, but since I couldn’t convince even senior Cheon Ji-hee, who was in the same party, it was difficult to work as a male hunter in the future.

“I’m just curious.”

“There is nothing to be curious about.”

“Doesn’t it sound like you’re leaving work enough to wipe sweat and reorganize in the conference room?”

“…”

She put the front of her gi back together, tightened her belt again, and fixed her gaze on me once more.

“… Training.”

“Where do you train? At the training ground? Or in a dungeon?”

“You know what to do.”

“If you are going to enter the dungeon, I will follow you. I also have to enter the dungeon to fill my quota today.”

“…”

As soon as I said that I would follow, Cheon Ji-hee blatantly gave me an unpleasant look.

Looking at that reaction, he probably didn’t want to, but if he was going to give up here, he wouldn’t even mention it in the first place.

Anyway, the important thing was to make sure I introduced myself to her, even if I bumped into her often.

Since it was a relationship that started with her prejudice against me from the first meeting, the way she made that impression fade was to face-to-face and bump into each other often.

Even if it seemed a little ignorant, it was the only way I knew, so it was inevitable.

In a world where the concept of chastity is opposite, it was fortunate that I, as a man, did not seem to be embarrassed when I challenged Ji-hee Cheon, who was a woman.

“… I’m going to the Shadow Catacombs. Don’t follow me.”

“The Shadow Catacomb is an A-class dungeon, right? It seems a bit dangerous to go alone, right? Let’s go together.”

“I have to interrupt.”

“I will not disturb you. You don’t even need to protect it. Because I’m just following you.”

“…”

Cheon Ji-hee, who frowned once again, passed me and silently moved her steps out of the conference room.

I followed her without saying a word.

In front of the warp gate leading into the dungeon of the Shadow Catacomb, senior Cheon Ji-hee looked back at her one last time and warned me once again.

“I made it clear. It’s crazy for a B-class to enter an A-class dungeon alone.”

“I keep telling you, but I won’t get in the way of you, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“… The one who can’t even grasp the subject.”

Needless to say, she thought it was useless persuasion, so she entered her shadow catacombs by recognizing her employee ID on her warp gate without a word.

I also followed her and immediately made her recognize my employee ID at the warp gate of the A-class dungeon.

“This dungeon is an A-class dungeon. It is very dangerous for hunters of B rank or lower without a party to enter and safety cannot be guaranteed.

Silver and Jade Co., Ltd. Recommends that all hunters enter the dungeon appropriate for their ability and skill level.”

I don’t think this phrase came to mind the last time I entered an A-class dungeon with an azure shield, but the moment I tried to enter as an individual, the company itself stopped me from entering.

It was a phrase that made me a little uneasy, but if I ran away now, Cheon Ji-hee would probably have the impression that I was a coward who ran away with his tail wrapped around his tail.

I couldn’t stand that much, so I ignored the warning and entered the Shadow Catacombs dungeon.

… But just in case, I raised my swordsmanship level by one level.
