Chapter 653 – A Cat With a Lot of Worries (3)

I want to continue living together with me in this two-story house.

The moment it occurred to me that this kind of thought might be in Han Min-ah’s head, this idea naturally came to my mind as well.

‘If Min-ah doesn’t want to give up living with me, she might actually be a good opportunity.’

In fact, it was her Hanmin-ah’s share of the settlement, which she had already given up half of before handing her this offer.

Since each person’s share was 5.8 billion won, of course each woman’s investment was important to me, and it was not much different for Han Min-ah.

No, maybe it was a more valuable investment because it was Hanmin.

If she were to invest her share of the settlement money in my new guild business, she would naturally want to see with her own eyes how her own money was being spent.

Not only would I often appear in the new guild I would be establishing, but there was also the possibility that the base of activity itself would be moved from the Gangdong-gu branch to my branch.

In fact, it is a situation where they can even try to recruit Han Min-ah, who had been half-given up.

With such high expectations in my heart, I explained to Mina Han about my new guild business.

“First of all, what I mean by ‘investment’ is…”

I have been gifted a portion of land in the center of Chuncheon City to be redeveloped and have plans to establish a hunter guild in that area.

An explanation that they have already secured a building to be used as the headquarters of the Hunter Guild, and that they will likely be able to receive help from President Seo Ok-hee once a specific business plan is developed.

He even stated that he wanted to use the compensation from the Three-Headed Basilisk subjugation battle as initial funds for repairs and remodeling of existing buildings to create a new guild, and to recruit new dungeons and hunters.

First of all, I have conveyed the Hunter Guild establishment plan that has been decided at this point in detail to Han Min-ah, a prospective investor.

After hearing my entire business story, she nodded and answered as if she had been waiting.

“Well, that’s right…” . Well, if you want to achieve your dream, it will definitely be easier to create a new guild…”

“That’s right. Actually, I had no intention of creating a guild this quickly, but given the timing, an opportunity like this one will never come again.”

“Of course I think it’s good! First of all, what is certain is that if Chuncheon City is redeveloped as you said, it will be a good place for a hunter guild to locate! Since you mentioned it as a means of securing dungeons, it seems like a very possible story…”

“Thank you for thinking that way, Hanmin.”

“Well, in that sense, I’m willing to invest! Seong Tae-kyung Because we are there for your dreams too! In the first place, my younger siblings and I owe you a lot, so I can accept that much of your favor!”

A much more refreshing answer than I expected.

Of course, I was grateful for her attitude, but I was a little embarrassed by Han Min-ah, who said she knew without any hesitation.

Her friend gave her one more cautious suggestion, telling her to be careful with her investments.

“Are you okay? “It’s funny to ask for something like this, but 5.8 billion is definitely not a small amount of money.”

“Yeah, that’s true, but. Well, yes, I have to trust that you will take care of it.”

“Huh?”

“To begin with, you are a male S-class hunter that no one can do. Last time I saw it, it seemed like there were quite a few people who could seriously help you if you decided to do something. Well, money, it’s something that didn’t exist in the first place, so you just have to keep pretending it didn’t exist.”

Of course, even though he said this, he was answering with considerable trembling, as if he had not completely let go of his attachment to the 5.8 billion won itself.

No matter how much money she had in her hands right now, Han Min-ah’s true nature was very close to that of a petty citizen, so for her sake, her hunter guild business had to succeed somehow.

After vaguely finishing her story about Han Min-ah’s compensation for her subjugation, this time she went straight to talking about living together with her.

“And, one more thing.”

“Huh?”

“It’s also related to your share of the subjugation reward we just talked about.”

“Oh, yes!”

“Actually, 5.8 billion won is definitely not a small amount of money, right? “If you put your mind to it, you can buy about 3 houses in Gangdong-gu, where housing prices are expensive, and based on Hanam City, where you originally wanted to move, the amount is about 5 to 6 houses.”

“… Ah.”

Han Min-ah is a little embarrassed when it is pointed out to her that she had intentionally tried to ignore it.

She then responded by carefully nodding her head in agreement, as if trying to hide the emotions she was showing momentarily.

“Isn’t that right?”

“But you ended up not settling the subjugation compensation in the name of asking me to invest in you, right? “If I had that money, it would be possible to move to a larger house.”

“Well, it’s not really like that…”

“So, for now, if you want to stay at my house from now on, I don’t mind.”

“… Huh?”

“Of course, the same goes for her younger siblings. Anyway, Hanmin, I am extorting you and your younger siblings’ moving expenses and using it in the direction I want.”

“…”

Han Min-ah seems a little dazed and answers in silence, perhaps because she didn’t expect such a suggestion to come out of my mouth first.

Before she realized that my proposal was logical, I added a clear condition to the proposal I had just made so that Minah Han could feel at ease.

“The contract period is… “Hanmin, should I say until you recoup the investment you made in me?”

“Gye, contract period… ?”

“After all, establishing a hunter guild is an investment that requires a long-term goal. “I think it will take at least 10 years to recover everything.”

“10, 10 years… ? Well, for so long… ?”

“Of course, if you say you want to move somewhere else, I won’t stop you. But if you and your younger siblings want to, you have the right to live in this house until you recoup your investment.”

“… In this house… The right to live with my younger siblings…”

Of course, there was a loophole in this proposal I just mentioned that could be avoided without sufficient cohabitation.

There was no way she wouldn’t be able to find a new housing offer that suited her tastes over the 10 years it would take to recoup her investment.

If I really wanted to move out of my house quickly, I could have continued the offer by receiving only a portion of the 5.8 billion won and investing the remaining amount.

However, if it were Han Min-ah in front of me right now, there was a high possibility that she would not mention such a story.

In the first place, she entrusted me with the investment money and the settlement money, and her will to live with me was clearly conveyed.

Because of my suggestion just now, Minah Han must have sensed my true intentions to some extent.

“What do you want to do?”

“… Well, if you want to do that, let’s do it.”

Han Min-ah tried to look calm and answered by looking away, but her face was already quite red.

She could even be vaguely seen inside her mouth biting her lower lip to hide the change in expression.

It didn’t look like this happy life together would end anytime soon.

After completing the rough sharing of the ‘investment contract’ and ‘cohabitation contract’ with each other’s interests aligned.

We stayed in the room for another hour to write a contract and share our opinions.

No matter how long you’ve known each other as friends, 5.8 billion won was too much of an expense to invest without a contract, so the closer you are, the more clearly you need to discuss such a contract.

We went through the written contract several times and edited or modified the contents.

“Let’s add one more clause here. ‘B can vacate the house whenever he wants, even during the investment period.'”

“Is there a need to include it? I think it would be a provision that would have no particular meaning. … Oh no. That’s not what I meant…”

“Still, you should keep it. “What if I have a bad mind and take advantage of the situation where you have to live in my house?”

“… Is this really the most unconvincing thing I’ve heard in the 10 years I’ve known you? … Oh, then let’s make the contract here completely clear. Instead of a half-baked agreement called ‘until the investment is recovered’, cohabitation… Oh, no, the period of residence is clearly expressed as ’10 years.'”

“Huh? “Why are you there?”

“Well, there is a possibility that I could occupy this house without permission using the excuse that I have not received a return on my investment. “We need to make sure we do this.”

“… I already know that you’re not that type of person, but… Well, okay. Then, instead, there is a clause that says ‘the period of residence can be extended even after 10 years when reinvesting’…”

In fact, it was more of a time of picking and revising parts that could be harmful to the other party rather than clauses that benefited oneself.

I couldn’t help but nod and agree to Han Min-ah’s suggestion, which included a part that didn’t seem particularly toxic to me.

Or, in my view, if anyone mentions a clause that is unfavorable to Han Min-ah, Han Min-ah makes a subtle expression and revises it.

In that way, an initial contract was created, full of additions, strike-throughs, and other traces of revision.

When I saw a contract with a lot of corrections attached, both I and Han Min-ah burst out laughing.

“Huh, huh…”

“Huh, huh…”

Finally, the contract is completed by neatly organizing the contract in Word, printing two copies, and exchanging each other’s signatures.

It was the moment when the contract with Minah Han, which included 5.8 billion won in compensation for defeating the Three-Headed Basilisk and the right to live in my own home, was completed.

“Please continue to treat me well, Hanmin.”

“… “Yeah, me too.”

Han Min-ah exchanges one last handshake, holds her contract in her own hand, and heads down to the main room where she stays with her younger siblings.

Just like that, I somehow ended up offering a contract to Han Min-ah, who was one of my seven colleagues during the subjugation.

It was the next morning that Minah Han, dressed in a maid uniform, came onto the bed in my room.
