Chapter 559 – Introduction to Acquaintances (1)

Thanks to Lulucia’s purification, we changed from damp clothes to clean clothes, and we took the guild information staff’s car and moved to the hunting ground in Area A.

To the area where ranged hunters, mainly wizards, are subduing monsters.

“Then I will return to report.”

“Thank you for your hard work~.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

An employee of the guild union who finally returned after dropping me and Lulucia off nearby.

As soon as she confirmed that the vehicle she was driving was turning, she immediately asked her saint standing next to her where she was going to go first.

“Where are you going, Lulucia?”

“Well~? Taekyung, where are you going?”

“I think my acquaintance saw it on the east side of the lake in this area. Although we are co-workers at the company… Oh, if it’s okay with you, Lulucia, would you like to meet her sometime?”

“If he is Tae-kyung’s colleague, is he also a good and kind person like Tae-kyung?”

“He is a good person in many ways. The part about being a kind person… “I guess I’m a little shy.”

Since I rarely picture Cha Yu-ri smiling and greeting kindly in front of strangers, I had no choice but to give a vague answer like this.

However, even if he jokes a bit harshly, he forgives him in the end, so it must be true that he has a good heart.

In the first place, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a big problem in front of Lulucia, as even if you were a person with a very different personality, you would quickly adapt to her atmosphere.

“Ah, then I also happen to have a friend nearby~! “How about we introduce each other to our colleagues?”

“By Lucia’s friend, do you mean the friend you made at the foundation I mentioned earlier?”

“Yes~! “I found you on the west side of this poisonous lake earlier~!”

… It might not be a bad opportunity.

She didn’t particularly want to become deeply involved with the women of the foundation. I just wanted to find out who the colleague who made Lulucia lonely was was.

After agreeing with the saint, I nodded and agreed with her opinion, and Lulucia and I agreed to gather again here with our acquaintances, and then dispersed to the places where our acquaintances were.

It wasn’t that difficult to find the car glass on the east side of the lake.

First of all, wizards wearing old-fashioned traditional wizard attire were not that common, and most hunters seemed to have left work, with only a few remaining.

I carefully walked up behind the woman who was chanting wind magic while wearing the navy blue hat that had caught my eye earlier, and spoke to her.

“… Ten rays of wind, pierce their bodies! Wind peering… !”

“You’re working really hard, Cha Yu-ri.”

“Ugh… ?!”

At the moment the magic chant ends, Cha Yu-ri responds with a cute voice as she grabs her shoulder from behind.

After piercing the body of the last monster that came out of her mouth, it disappeared, and Cha Yu-ri, who was momentarily surprised by my call, turned around and made eye contact with me.

“What, was it you?”

“Are you disappointed because of me, Cha Yu-ri?”

“… I’m not disappointed. By the way, what about your job?”

“I just finished work and am on my way home from work. “The purification work was completed quickly because we were together with the saint.”

“Purification… ? I didn’t apply for recovery or protection… ? And a saint… ?”

“… “Women who worry about trivial things are not very popular, Cha Yu-ri.”

“…”

Even if I tried to talk about how I got purified or how I started working with Lulucia, the conversation would just get messy.

After dismissing Cha Yu-ri’s doubts, she suggested that she leave work soon.

“How many monsters did you catch? “Is there something like a quota?”

“… There is nothing in particular. “For the integrated management day event, you can just do as much as you want and finish after work.”

“Then, can you leave work soon? “Looking at your current situation, it looks like you must have caught a lot of money since you went to work.”

The empty potion bottles lying around her feet were evidence of the hunt.

I think I’ve already consumed about five or six magic potions alone. If you hunt too hard like this, you will only end up hurting yourself.

Moreover, judging from the fact that other hunters were barely visible, it seemed that most of them had used up all of their magic power for today and had gone home from work.

Cha Yu-ri, who is fighting while consuming her magic potion, is just a special case.

So, she meant that we should get off work together soon, but Cha Yu-ri shook her head and rejected my offer.

“… “Not yet.”

“Yes?”

“There is no winner yet.”

“You mean a contest?”

“… Excuse me.”

Cha Yu-ri points her finger across the lake while saying something strange about winning or something.

As I tilted my head at her incomprehensible behavior, Cha Yu-ri suddenly began explaining the ‘win’ she had decided in her mind whenever she held a group event like this.

“At these group subjugation events, the wizard is just an attacker who shoots spells. “It’s not like I’m hunting with a particularly great plan, and there’s no need to improvise and use spells to respond.”

“Well, if the wizards gather together, the firepower itself is strong, so there is no need for a great strategy.”

“It’s so boring to just shoot magic all the time without any strategy, so I secretly decide on an opponent in my mind. At this subjugation event, I thought to myself that I would catch more monsters than him. Then it’s worth holding on for a while.”

“Umm…”

It feels like you can understand something, but it feels like it’s hard to understand.

Is this similar to the way men designate one of the men who enters the sauna with them as a potential competitor, and do whatever they can to hold out until that person leaves?

If you think about it that way, it was quite understandable. To begin with, Cha Yu-ri had a very competitive personality.

By the way, I don’t know who the opponent is, but seeing as he made Cha Yu-ri struggle this much, he must be no ordinary player. You might want to meet me at least once.

“So, who is that person?”

“It’s over there.”

“If you mean across the lake, I can’t see anyone in particular?”

“… Huh?”

Cha Yu-ri, who heard me and looked across the lake, was confused when she saw that there was really no one there.

Perhaps she left work first while she was busy competing with herself and firing off her magic attacks.

As if it was really hard to believe, Cha Yu-ri tilted her head here and there to look at the poisonous lake, but to my eyes and hers, all I could see was the remains of an old factory building submerged in the poisonous lake, and there was no one in particular who was presumed to be a hunter. It wasn’t visible.

“I don’t know who the opponent was, but in any case, wouldn’t Cha Yu-ri win if this happens?”

“… Huh.”

“Let’s go back slowly. There is also someone I would like to introduce to Yu-ri Cha today. “I don’t want to make you wait for no reason.”

“… “Is that the saint from earlier or something?”

“Yes.”

“Has she known that person from the beginning? “Isn’t this the first time you met her today?”

“No, I met this person for the first time today.”

“…”

Cha Yu-ri stiffened with a somewhat offended expression, as if there was something she didn’t like about my answer.

Then she looked up into my eyes again and expressed her own dissatisfaction.

“How can you become so close to a woman you’ve only known for a day? So much so that I can even introduce it to other people.”

“It’s not that I tried to become friends, it’s just that she is such a nice person. “Maybe if I spend even a little time with the saint, I will be able to become friends with anyone, not just me, in one day.”

“Seongcheol, how many women do you know like that? Anyway, it’s not too much…”

“Considering that we first met and became friends within a day, Cha Yu-ri is no mean feat. “Even for me, there are only two people who ended up having sex the day I first introduced myself.”

“… Well, it’s not because we’re particularly close, but because I need it… Now, wait a minute, there are two people… ?”

… Oops.

Anyway, this guy’s mouth is so selfish.

Thinking that I may have said something for no reason, I went to the meeting place with Cha Yu-ri, and when I arrived there, I was able to meet Lulucia who was waiting for me again.

… And, even the blonde girl from the foundation who now has a very familiar look.

“Ah, Taekyung~! “Here~!”

“… Mr. Seongcheol?”

This time, Lulucia called me with a soft voice and an innocent smile.

And the person standing next to him was Dosi-hee Do, the blonde girl from the foundation who had gone on a date with me just a few days before.

In that case, the person named Lulucia’s friend I mentioned earlier…

“… Could it be that Lulucia’s friend was Sihee?”

“Huh? Do you really know Sihee?”

“… Yes. “He is someone I really know in many ways.”

When it comes to Sihee’s body structure, our relationship was so special that I could say that I knew it better than she did.

Rather, in terms of relationship alone, Sihee had to introduce Lulucia to me.

“It’s him.”

“… Yes?”

“Earlier, the person I had chosen as my competitor across the lake. “I remember him as someone who had blonde hair and, unusually, used arrows instead of magic.”

“… Yes?”

“Now that I think about it, you next to Seongcheol… “Aren’t you the wizard who was hunting on the east side of the lake earlier?”

“… Huh.”

“I remember you because you were dressed like an old-fashioned wizard. I understand that you clearly used wind magic, but how could you and Seongcheol…? .”

“Now, wait a minute, Sihee~! This person is Taekyung, not Seongcheol! “It’s rude to change someone’s name like that!”

“No, the name Seongcheol is kind of like a nickname…”

… It was clearly an event where Lulucia and I had planned to introduce each other to our acquaintances, but why did it suddenly end up like this?

First of all, it seemed like traffic had to be controlled first before introducing them.

About our complicated relationships with each other. And also about the mixture of titles that call me.
