Chapter 520 – Meeting Minutes (5)

“S-a promotion?!”

“Huh.”

After Han Min-ah and Eun-byeol’s argument about housework died down.

Han Mina seemed quite surprised by my promotion comment during meal time.

“Congratulations, master.”

“Thank you, Eunbyeol.”

On the other hand, Eunbyeol seemed to calmly accept my promotion remark without questioning it.

For your information, we reached an agreement that Eunbyeol would continue to do most of the housework, but that Minah would only help with grocery shopping and laundry.

Grocery shopping can be done by stopping at the supermarket on the way home from work, so it is easy to move around, and most of all, it is a housework that only Minah can do in that she can replace Eunbyeol, who cannot go out.

It will be easier to do laundry by gathering all the sweaty clothes together after work.

For your information, thanks to the addition of two washing machines overnight, it was possible to wash white clothes and other clothes at the same time, cutting laundry time in half. At best, this will only be the period when Minah stays at our house.

In addition, cleaning and meal preparation are tasks that take a long time, and in many ways, it would be a bit difficult for Mina to take on them.

In particular, it would be most convenient for Eunbyul to do cleaning in the morning when the house is empty.

“I congratulate you too… “Is that even possible?”

Although she congratulates me a beat late, she asks Hanmin carefully, as if she is worried about something else.

I thought I knew roughly what they were concerned about, but out of courtesy, I asked them what they were worried about.

“What are you worried about?”

“No, it’s only been a few months since you were promoted to Class B and I wrote a letter of recommendation and transferred you to the company. Normally, I can only take the B-level promotion exam once a year, but I’m afraid it might cause problems later on.”

“The boss took care of all that too. “Since it is about the promotion to level B of union hunter Kim Seong-cheol, it would not be strange for company hunter Seong Tae-kyung to take the A-level promotion test.”

“… Ah, I guess so. “You must have seen such a case.”

It’s worth it. No matter how talented a hunter he is, I would be the first person to be promoted to B-class, change jobs, and then get promoted back to A-class within a year.

In the first place, the Hunter level wasn’t something you could raise as you wanted.

Above all, hunters who were level B tended to carefully select the process of moving up to the next level, as the sense of rolling in the field was engraved in their bones.

Anyway, if you work hard as a B-class hunter, the profits are not bad.

Some people may feel that they are wasting time on a grade they cannot advance to, neglecting their main job, and losing skills in the meantime, which is actually a loss.

People like me and Hye-eun whose goal is to raise their hunter level.

Like Cheon Ji-hee, there was another reason why she had to raise her hunter level.

In most cases, like Cha Yu-Ri or Han Min-Ah, the hunter grade naturally goes up as the activity progresses, usually from B grade to A grade or higher.

… Now that I think about it, I think I should have told Eunbyeol in advance.

“Eunbyeol, just in case, I’m telling you, please keep it a secret from Sihee that I’m planning to be promoted to Class A.”

“… “If you don’t mind, would you mind if I ask why?”

“I was planning to meet you two soon. “I want to talk face-to-face if possible.”

“All right. For that reason, I will also do as the master says and keep silent.”

“Thank you for your cooperation, Eunbyeol.”

“Taekyung, another woman’s name came out of her brother’s mouth…”

“… Mr. Sihee?”

Jinah and Minah each reacted to another woman’s name that came out of my mouth, but it wasn’t something that needed to be explained.

Anyway, they all knew that I was seeing other women besides the women here and Azure Shield.

We’ve already come a long way to explain all of this.

Neither of them seemed to be very interested in my other woman.

In fact, it was Suna, not the two older sisters, who spoke to me and mentioned something that would cause me trouble.

“… By the way, brother.”

“Huh?”

“If your brother rises to A-level hunter this time, you promised to join a party with us…”

“…”

“Oh, right! Since my brother is in B class, I heard that if he gets to C rank, we can party together! “In a month, we also have the C-level promotion exam!”

Even Jin-ah realizes belatedly what Seon-a says and agrees with her.

The pressure of my two younger sisters looking at me felt strangely warm.

… I never thought I would rise in rank so quickly.

At the earliest, I thought I would be able to get promoted by the end of next year, and I thought that Jin-ah and Sun-ah would be able to rise to C-level in that period of time.

Even if the period isn’t that long, I thought we could hang out together for a few months.

It seemed like going into the dungeon with my sisters would have to be postponed until a little later.

“Are you okay. “I think Jin-ah and Sun-ah can go beyond just C-level hunters and rise to a higher level.”

“Are you changing your mind, brother?”

“Are you changing the subject, brother?”

“… Wouldn’t it be better for you guys to join a party with me after rising to a higher level? “Don’t you want to show off your cool side rather than the amateurish look of a novice hunter?”

“It’s not wrong, but…”

“For some reason, I feel like I was deceived by my brother…”

“I said no. Anyway, if you guys’ hunter level goes up, you’ll get another chance someday, right? “I think you all have the same potential as Minah.”

“… Yes. Above all, we cannot stand in your way just because we want to form a party with you.”

“Well, that’s right! It’s not that I don’t particularly like my brother’s promotion! Congratulations on your promotion, Taekyung!”

“I congratulate you too, brother.”

“Okay, thank you for saying that.”

Fortunately, the two people’s sulking didn’t last too long, and in fact, they were younger sisters who took care of me for not being able to congratulate me on my promotion.

After calming them down, he immediately gave Han Min-ah the same precautions he gave Eun-byeol.

“Ah, Hanmin.”

“Huh?”

“I’m telling you in advance, but don’t tell Hye-eun or the Azure Shield people. “I will speak separately later on the Azure Shield convocation day.”

“Huh? Is it really necessary? Why go to the trouble of doing that?”

“Why, why? “It’s because I want to be congratulated right in front of my eyes while I’m raising my hunter level.”

Han Mina tilted her eyes in surprise at my honest confession.

“… Surprisingly, you like being praised and acknowledged. On the outside, he looks like a man who quietly concentrates on his work.”

“Is that bad?”

“It’s just because it’s unexpected. “If I just listen to what you’re saying, I’m guessing this is what you’re expecting, right?”

“… ?”

Han Min-ah smiled strangely and suddenly got up from her seat and came towards me.

As I was watching her quietly, wondering what she was going to do this time, she suddenly came towards me while she was eating.

She sat there and started stroking my head with her right hand.

“Oh my~. Our Taekyung is great~. “You put in a lot of effort.”

“…”

“I moved to the company when I was a B-level hunter, and in just 4 months, I already became an A-level hunter. “You don’t know how proud I am of our Taekyung.”

“… “Are you kidding me?”

“Huh? No, I heard you like this kind of thing, kekeke.”

… I like it, giggling as if I’ve found a weakness.

Well, the feeling itself wasn’t bad though. Even in this way, Han Min-ah made physical contact first.

However, just being teased by Mina like this and then moving on was something I couldn’t tolerate.

As she was teasing me and trying to return to her seat, I grabbed her arm and made her sit on top of my body.

“… Wow?!”

“Hey, Hanmin.”

“Why why?”

“It seems like you don’t know much, so I’ll tell you. “How should I praise someone?”

“W-what?! Why are you suddenly embracing my body?!”

Why why? From now on, I’m going to teach you what a compliment is.

As I got on top of her thighs, her sitting height was roughly similar to hers, and I pulled her close to my body with her left arm.

She stroked Minah Han’s head with her right hand, with her back pressed against her stomach.

With her mouth, she whispered something into her ear.

“Our Minah, you’ve really had a hard time.”

“Huh?!”

“For over five years, she lived alone in a semi-basement villa and was responsible for the livelihood of her younger sisters. I live tenaciously as a hunter every day, taking less than five days off a year. “You’ve worked really hard, Min-ya.”

“Ugh, hey?! Wow, what are you doing in such a strange way all of a sudden?!”

“I worked so hard that I even earned the money to move to a new house. My hunter rank rose to A level in just 22 years. You don’t know how proud I am just looking at our Minah. “Minah, I’m so proud that you’re my friend.”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!!”

Han Min-a screams, unable to bear the continuous praise that tickles her ears.

I thought I would be weak at things like this. Considering his personality, of course he wouldn’t be able to tolerate such unfamiliar language.

Still, if you start a fight with me, of course I can’t just ignore it.

Whether you die of shame or cringe, you brought it on yourself.

“Ah Okay! “I did something wrong, so stop!”

“What are you talking about. Min, what did you do wrong? Rather, I am proud of you for working hard without receiving proper recognition until now.”

“That’s right, big sister. “My younger sister and I have always looked up to Minah, who silently takes care of me and my younger sister, and thinks of us before herself.”

“Hey, ha, Hanseon! “Why are you making me cringe?!”

“Me too! Always grateful to her sister! If it weren’t for my sister, neither I nor Seona would have been able to graduate from hunter training high school… Ah, maybe Taekyung didn’t even meet his oppa! Thank you always, sister! Love you!”

“Uuuuu~~~!!!”

Han Min-a is struggling in my arms, unable to bear the atmosphere overflowing with love.

Even so, there was no way I could miss her swinging her great sword, struggling with the strength of a cat.

After showering her with compliments until I was satisfied, I let her go from my arms.

By the time she was released, she had already climaxed and was returning to her seat with a blank expression on her face as if she had experienced it once.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

Han Min-ah, unable to look in any direction as her face turned bright red, continued to eat in a dazed state.

You should have looked at people carefully and made fun of them.
