Chapter 901 – Hope (2)

“The last item on the agenda is a plan to change the name of the district in Chuncheon City. Does anyone have any good opinions?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

After Mayor Park Hee-sun’s secretary spoke of the last agenda item, the uproar from just a moment ago subsided, and the city became completely quiet. Perhaps because it was an agenda item that was difficult to express opinions on, everyone seemed cautious about opening their mouths.

Perhaps because they are changing the name of a constituency, they can’t just express their opinions.

If you make a mistake, you will be held accountable for it in the future, so it will be difficult for everyone to come up with an agenda hastily.

“Why don’t we just go to Chuncheon City? Why are you changing things so confusingly? .”

“The perception of the entire city of Chuncheon has worsened due to the Monster Wave incident, so we want to change that. Even now, 15 years later, most people only think of Monster Wave when they think of Chuncheon City, but Chuncheon City needs to change its name first, so there is room for Chuncheon City to revive again.”

“On the resurrection! Let’s make it a resurrection! Since he died and was resurrected, resurrection time is perfect!”

“Ac, it’s not some rock band, it’s resurrection poetry! “I’m trying to fix the name that was ruined because of the Monster Wave, but the resurrection itself is like bragging about having been left behind once!”

“Then you gave a sound opinion!”

“If it means being born again, isn’t reincarnation better than resurrection?”

“It’s no different there!!”

“What?! Resurrection and reincarnation are different, you lady!!”

“Ha, huh…”

Mayor Park Hee-seon sighs deeply as the meeting escalates into yet another heated argument. Looking at this situation, it looks like the dozen people will end the agenda after just arguing.

I was slowly starting to think that it was a waste of time to be stuck in a meeting like this, so I just blurted out the opinions that came to my mind, thinking whether it would work or not.

“… Then, how about ‘Hope Si’?”

“Huh?”

“Ugh?”

“Yes? Why is it ‘Hope City’?”

“It just has a good tone. It also means that we will move forward well. “There are probably very few people who can even think of monster waves when they hear the word ‘hope.'”

“…”

“…”

The reason I became a hunter in the first place was because I didn’t give up and had hope until the end.

For me, this village was my greatest motivation for becoming a hunter and the place that gave me my greatest achievements as a hunter, so I thought without thinking that it would be better if it was just called Hope City.

It was a moderate response with the thought that the opinion expressed by a single hunter would not be accepted among these lawmakers, but surprisingly, what came back was a very favorable evaluation.

“… That’s right. Hope City is good, Hope City.”

“… Hmm?”

“Hey, I like young boys’ opinions! Hopeful! How pretty the name is! Huh?”

“Then, for now, we will proceed as ‘if desired’. Thank you all for your hard work at the meeting.”

“… Huh?”

“””Thank you for your hard work!”””

“…”

I was a little embarrassed by the meeting ending too quickly and the people accepting my thoughtless opinion as if everyone was happy with it.

Although it was a ridiculous ending… Well, anyway, looking at the result, it wasn’t that bad since everyone listened to my opinion.

It was the moment when the new name of Chuncheon City district was changed to Hope City.

After the meeting, I heard what Mayor Park Hee-sun said, and it seemed like it wasn’t very important from the beginning what name the new administrative district would be named.

It seems that because the city council members had different affiliations, they first opposed the opinions of the other political party. It was in that sense that there were a lot of arguments at the meeting over every matter.

There were 20 city council members assigned to Chuncheon City, where even this administrative district was in the middle of nowhere, and those 20 members belonged to as many as eight different political parties.

As a result, it was natural for them to stick together and disperse like bean powder, and in the meantime, I, who did not belong to anyone in particular, gave an appropriate opinion, so it seemed like there was a tacit agreement to agree and end it.

‘The battle between real politicians is extremely tiring.’

It was a moment when I decided that no matter how high I got as a hunter, I would not even look at politics. I didn’t really like it to begin with.

After finishing the meeting and having dinner with Mayor Park Hee-sun at a restaurant operated as a pilot in the new Chuncheon City Hall, I headed straight to the old Chuncheon City Hall building.

I thought it would be a good idea to take a quick look around before returning to Seoul.

“Oh, please get off here.”

“I understand, Hunter Seong Taekyung.”

“Thanks for the ride. Please enter carefully.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work today.”

When I returned to the old Chuncheon City Hall in the car given to me by Mayor Park Hee-sun’s secretary, I was greeted by an eight-story building with a rather sophisticated image.

It looks really nice on the outside, as if a significant portion of the construction has already been completed. Broken or scratched parts were restored as if they were new, and all the broken or fallen glass windows here and there were newly installed.

Seeing that other traces of rust or stains that had been neglected were neatly cleaned up, it seemed that Do Ye-hee had clearly paid attention to this and that.

“As expected, since we entrusted it to Dokyung Construction, the work is handled reliably.”

How amazing is it that this was entrusted directly to Do Ye-hee, the next president of Do-kyung Construction.

Of course, it made no sense for a large construction company the size of Do-kyung to only use its manpower to remodel the Hunter Guild, but that was the result of my personal friendship with Do Ye-hee and I.

“… “Can I come in?”

It’s been a long time since I’ve come here, but it was a bit disappointing to go back after only looking around the outside.

It seems like the construction is almost finished anyway, and if Do Ye-hee said that it will be completed before the end of the year, it can be said that it will actually be completed within a week.

As time was running out, it seemed like all construction workers had left work. In the first place, it seems like the exterior construction is already almost finished.

When I opened the locked glass door using the spare key I made earlier and went inside, the smell of a new building filled my nose.

“I think the inside is almost finished…”

Interior painting, flooring reinforcement, and any stains or cracks on the walls have been neatly filled or repaired. I went into various facilities just in case, but the tiles and basic facilities in the bathroom and restaurant were roughly finished.

Looking at these fine details, the thought that it was not a large construction company for no reason crossed my mind.

‘I’ll have to say thank you to Do Yehee separately later.’

It wasn’t for nothing that Sihee felt threatened by her older sister. Even the remodeling of a small city hall building like this is done with the best of effort, so it must be terrible when constructing buildings such as apartments or high-rise towers.

Of course, Sihee also shows expert abilities in her field. It was on the news not long ago that a new material synthesis method using monster materials was announced, causing a big stir.

Compared to the successors of the Geumhyang Group, who were just looking for an opportunity to bite each other, the sisters of the Dokyung Group were definitely better.

“My office… “It’s probably the 8th floor.”

We have expressed the opinion that it should be built on the highest floor if possible, so when construction is almost finished, the 8th floor will be roughly organized. Since I was already here, I decided to just look around the office and went up the stairs to the upper floor.

There was no elevator yet, so I had to take the stairs, but it wasn’t that bad. Since I already use stairs, I looked around and figured out how to use them.

“I think the restaurant and bank can be re-located on the first floor as before, and the café can also be kept on the second floor… Wouldn’t it be better to have the materials settlement department on the third floor like a company?”

As I walked further and further, thinking about the facilities that would be included in my guild, I felt quite satisfied. I think that soon I will be able to become the owner of a guild.

“For some reason, it felt like it took an incredibly long time even though it was fast.”

If you look at it simply in terms of time, it was like establishing a guild in less than two years after awakening as a hunter.

As soon as he got his awakening ability as a hunter sexual desire manager, he slept with Hye-eun for the first time, developed her awakening ability, and debuted as a hunter for the first time.

Raise your hunter grade to B grade, transfer to a company, and rise to S grade at once due to an incident in an abandoned village.

In the process, I met countless people, built various relationships, and received and gave help, one step at a time, in just two years.

I can only say it’s been two years, but the past two years have been much more valuable than the 20 years of life I lived before.

Because it was the two years in which the most part of my life was concentrated.
