Chapter 10 – Episode 10 – [First Sexual Partner] Introduced by Tomboy’s Childhood Friend

* Episode 10 – [First sexual partner] Introduced by Tomboy’s childhood friend

At first, her mood was cold, but since Seongyeon and I didn’t make her blush, she quickly relaxed.

It seemed that Bugilma Ceres had a lot to say, but since it was her wedding, she held back, and we changed her clothes and headed to the lounge.

There were guild members from [Chorus] That I saw yesterday and broadcasting station officials who had gathered to produce a documentary or interview Seongyeon.

『For that reason, I am a new scavenger who joined this time. Let’s all get along well and don’t forget to contact Gilma if you have any problems~!』

When Seongyeon introduced her relationship with me and made a vague impression, the guild members felt awkward but clapped together.

It’s awkward, but it’s really like a school performance in elementary school when you force yourself to clap your hands ‘Wow clap clap clap’.

“This is [Scavenger] Hong Chang-gi, who was just introduced to me. I’m only D-rank, but I’ll work hard. Please teach me well!”

So, to lighten the mood, I bowed my head.

I am the cause of yesterday’s commotion. The culprit who even stole the main character of the festival, Gilma. Here, I had to crawl obediently.

“If it’s the person Gilma brought…”

“You’re a benefactor? Then you’re a benefactor to us too.”

“I have a lot of things on my mind, but I don’t think I should bring it up here…”

“I don’t want to get scolded by Boo Gilma again.”

“Everyone, don’t be angry because it was our fault yesterday.”

“That’s right. Even if rumors are just rumors. Otherwise, why would Gilma recruit you?”

“They say he’s a benefactor. Isn’t the reason obvious?”

“Hey. Be careful what you say.”

“… Tch.”

Everyone was sulky, but the mood calmed down.

There are still people who show resistance, but that is a problem that will be resolved only with time.

Rather…

-Oh my, are you a new guild member in these times?

-You’re Hyena, a famous D-class hunter, right?

-Isn’t he the guy who had a bad reputation for picking up corpses?

-Why were you hired?

-Did you give me convenience because I was an old friend?

-Please answer.

… This is the problem.

Even though the documentary is like that, the people who came for the interview are rudely asking Seongyeon questions.

I want to believe that he had that in mind because he deliberately introduced me in front of reporters.

“Seongyeon.”

“I’ll answer.”

I stepped forward.

“Hmm. As I just explained, he is my benefactor and friend, as well as a skilled hunter.”

-But it didn’t have a very good reputation.

-Everyone just cursed me for going around robbing corpses.

-It has even become a hot topic on the Internet. As a Guild Master of Vegetation, what do you think about that?

“Yes, it is true that he goes around picking up bodies. But it is only part of his [Volunteer work] For the bereaved families.”

-You mean picking up a corpse?

-I understand, but the rumors are too scary to dismiss it as volunteer work.

-Since when was robbing corpses a volunteer role?

“Of the hunters who died in the tower, how many of their bodies do you think will be returned to their bereaved families? I’m not an expert, so you probably don’t know. I thought that would be the case, so I received statistics from the [Hunter Association] Today. Of the 100% of total deaths, Only 5% of those who return to their bereaved families do not include minors and young people in their 20s.”

-5%!

-But when it comes to body hair…

“Rumors are just rumors. Contrary to his bad reputation, Changgi is a very sincere person. The number of bodies he has returned to bereaved families through the association over the past year is over 200, and if you include only the remains, the number is 500.” One person accounts for a portion of 5% of the statistics. I have no doubt about his ability and personality as the association says he will soon be awarded a commendation.”

-Then there was no chance of being a so-called friend?

“It’s been almost 19 years since we met. When we met, I didn’t even recognize his face. Instead, I looked at his performance to join the team, and as I just said, there was enough evidence to back it up. Even though it’s a bad review, he’s D-rank and has a nickname, right? Just a misunderstanding. I thought it would contribute to the guild if I solved it.”

-I see.

-After listening to the story, I think he is an exceptional talent.

-Well, 500 is a lot.

-Dividing the body and remains seems to be inflating the numbers…

– Vegetation Guild Leader. Dismiss the rumors as just rumors. Recruit him as a hot topic. How about it?

-Not bad?

-I know. Everyone was curious about the activities of the Vegetation Guild.

-It’s a lifesaver, so if you tie it together a little better, it will make a good story.

-Adapt it well.

There are a lot of people who just hit the pad and write.

On the way, words were exchanged that were difficult to just hear and ignore, but Seongyeon’s hand was gently holding my arm as if to stop me.

‘Is this on purpose?’

‘Yes.’

‘Fuck. ‘You clever bastard.’

Because the atmosphere is like this, the guild members are also influenced by it. People tend to be swayed by the surrounding atmosphere, and it is even easier to agree with them if they share a good story in such a situation. Moreover, the moment the stigma of ‘if you don’t agree with this, you are a bad person’ is engraved, there are very few people who can protest against it.

“That’s the end of the story. Especially reporters, you didn’t come here with an appointment today. Please disperse immediately and only those who came to film the video can return to their original work.”

“The top floor is a restricted area. Other than that, you can come and go as you please.”

At the shout of Seongyeon and Vice Gilma Ceres, the reporters dispersed, and only the video team remained and headed inside.

I thought it would be a bit more sticky, but the opponent was a high-level hunter. They knew that they could be physically erased, so they were extremely obedient inside the tower.

“Over there…”

A few people approached me like that.

This is the face I saw in the lounge yesterday.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I wanted to apologize. I was sorry yesterday.”

“He wasn’t that bad of a guy yesterday. Yesterday he drank a little too much… And the kid he cared about died, so it’s over…”

“That guy was at our party.”

“Aha.”

It felt like we were friends, but he stopped me, not me.

For a moment, I wondered what to do, but unfortunately, I am not a ciderpath. Yesterday, after Seongyeon got angry at that guy, cursed at him, and kicked him, I didn’t think much of it.

If I said anything here, it would really be like borrowing Seongyeon’s authority…

And these people continued to side with me, saying, ‘You crossed the line.’ These are people who do not sympathize with their colleagues when they make mistakes and know how to say they are wrong.

They are good seniors.

“It’s okay. I was angry and swore at him too. It was a situation where we would misunderstand each other, so seniors, please don’t lower your head.”

“Thank you…”

“Look at this. He’s not really a bad person, but we made a big mistake.”

“That’s right.”

Selling grace feels good.

It’s ridiculous that I was such a good guy.

“Did you all hear that!? All the people who were talking nonsense from earlier, come out! Our street horse would have done something like that because his eye was sprained!”

“You really were a good person, you bastards!!”

The results of selling grace came back right away. As the senior hunter raised his voice, other hunters caught the atmosphere and started lowering their heads.

“I want to apologize too. I’m sorry.”

“Me too.”

“Gilma brought him here, so he can’t be a bad person.”

“That’s right… There’s no way we could bring someone in just because we’re acquaintances or connections… We’re not even small children.”

They apologized in turn, and I sincerely lowered my head and established a relationship. I wanted to run away because this atmosphere felt awkward, but this is also part of social life. I’ve been hunting alone so far, but now I’ll be able to do things with them.

As I was leaving my body to the flow, another fox came out who also got into this atmosphere.

“You two. Are you finished talking?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Is that so? In that case, I would also like to apologize. I sincerely apologize for attacking you without knowing that there was such a misunderstanding.”

Nodding.

Mr. Ceres, the butler, bent his upper body and apologized politely.

It was obvious that he wasn’t completely convinced yet, but he was a professional in that he bowed his head.

Umm.

Was it really this person’s bra? Or is it Seongyeon’s cross-dressing bra?

If it were the former, it would be very difficult to lower your hair like this. Well, from this person’s point of view, it’s like a pervert who went on a rampage with his own bra. Nevertheless, he couldn’t overcome Gilma’s authority and held back his tears and apologized to Pervert. What a pitiful person he must be…

‘I never thought I would be picked on by Boo Gilma from the start. Why is my social life always like this?’

I lamented inwardly, but politely lowered my head to suit the mood.

‘I hope that my mood will be relieved even just a little bit.’

“You prostitute. What are you going to do now?”

“What?”

“I’m talking about a home. Our guild provides a home for guild members. If you want, you can stay here, or you can stay at your original home.”

‘Right. There was even a restaurant here exclusively for guild members.’

After all, a large company. I was amazed and worried because I thought this was crazy welfare.

Clearly, welfare here is the best. The room was spacious and completely different from where I lived.

The food will be delicious too. Considering that a nutritionist will help you maintain balance, it is right to move in right away.

Mmm.

“Why are you worrying? Come right away. It’s easy just to come physically.”

“I heard you’re going to the Golden Tower this time. So you’re planning on moving the guild home as well?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s a bit weird to move twice. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get along well with other people. So I thought I’d stay separate until I move to the hunting ground…”

“Then do it. You can use it whenever you need it, so don’t feel pressured.”

I nodded that I understood.

Then… Is this the end of everything from registration to explanation?

What should I do now?

Climb the tower again? Or at least build friendships with your seniors?

“If it’s okay, would you like to have a drink with us?”

“Alcohol?”

“You took Gilma with you yesterday. So we’re holding a celebration party again today. You’ll come too, right?”

“Ah~!”

My seniors probably recommended me, and I have no reason to refuse them.

Well, today, I was thinking about making friends with these people at the guild home, but when I started walking, a husky laugh stopped me.

“That’s right~! Changgi, can you check your phone when you have time?”

“Why? Is it because I sent you a text message about clothes earlier?”

“Not the clothes. I sent you another text. Please look carefully so that no one else can see it.”

“… Huh?”

I was surprised because they suddenly said something, but the seniors weren’t in the mood to do anything right away, so they left to go to the bathroom for a moment.

It’s better to see things like this right away. Especially because Seongyeon’s story is not something to just listen to.

“What kind of text message is it telling you to look carefully?”

Just in case, I sat on the restroom, checked twice to make sure there were no hidden cameras above or below, and turned on my phone.

[1+] Is lit in the text.

Seongyeon was the number.

[Today’s incoming call history]

[♡Song Seong-yeon♡]

[10:10 AM]

[1 sex partner reservation]

[Time: 11:30 tonight]

[Location: Come alone to the area marked on the map below]

[Hello, Changgi. I made a reservation right away for what I said yesterday. I’ve heard the story and have a few requests, so I’ll write them down.]

[When you come out, watch your back to make sure no one is following you. No masturbation on the day. No condoms. Kissing is OK. There are other requests, but they only want to let you know.]

[We will contact you as soon as you arrive at your destination, so take care of it from then on.]

[It might be awkward because it’s your first time, but cheer up.]

“… Already!?”

5252! Is it real?

How long has it been since you promised and have you already promised to have sex? Was I that popular?

Wow, I’m starting to get nervous!!

“Sir, I accepted it without thinking, but what if grandma comes out?”

The higher your hunter rank, the higher your status as a human being, and your appearance becomes superior.

I’m also a D rank, but I look good.

But… What if the other person is vaguely old?

… Fuck!

“I accepted it too hastily. No matter how drunk I was, I should have thought about it more before speaking.”

It’s too late to enjoy such regrets.

The probability of wrinkles appearing is… Almost none. Again, the higher your hunter rank, the better your appearance.

Still, it’s not 0.

그야 그럴 게 나 같은 점박이 새끼랑 섹파하고 싶은 년이 정상일 리는 없으니까!!

“Wow, this isn’t some kind of gacha, you’re really a male prostitute, damn it.”

You have to have sex without even knowing who the other person is.

I attended the drinking party half excited and half worried, and had to spend an exciting time until the night, being careful not to get as drunk as possible.
