Chapter 77 – Change(7)

Yuchun looked down at the table covered with a clean cloth and opened his mouth.

“I heard that fine dining is a course meal, but it’s not that different.”

“Hey… Did Yuwon think that there are many spoons and forks lined up just like in the old days?”

Right. The fine dining that Yuchun recognized, and it seemed like it would be the place where you could spend millions of won for a meal, of course.

“I don’t do that these days.”

“Is that so…?”

“Among the places that insist on your tradition, there are few shops like that. It’s also not very good for hygiene.”

Yuchun looked at Hayeon as if he was smiling at him, and then she looked around.

“I was wondering why they only take 10 tables a day…It was worth it.”

Independent space. The top floor of this large Grand Paeta Hotel that I saw when I entered was only four independent spaces and dozens of employees. Assuming that it is a course meal that takes about 2-3 hours to sit down once, you have no choice but to do so.

“Is this going to make money?”

There were dozens of visible employees, but if you include the others, there were probably a hundred people gathered. Yuchun wondered if he could pay for the labor cost with only ten tables a day.

“Yes? This is why fine dining is not money no matter how much you receive. But there are other things.”

“Anything else?”

“Well, for material reasons, there is a career that I worked in a place like this, but rather than that, I was missing the charm of the cooking itself…”

Yang Ha-yeon stopped talking and turned her gaze to the scene outside the glass.

“How many opportunities do I have to work while watching something like that? They are all memories.”

“Are you romantic?”

“It’s your romance.”

The moon is covered by clouds, and even though there is no artificial light, the water of the large lake that can be seen outside illuminates the world with magical blue light.

“Looking at this alone, it makes me think that Dungeon Outbreak isn’t necessarily bad.”

The Grand Paeta Hotel is a hotel built on land eroded by the Dungeon Outbreak. The scenery that can not be seen anywhere else on this planet is still admired by everyone around the world and has made it the world’s best hotel.

“And we don’t operate by selling food and service. The Grand Paeta Hotel supports all of that.”

“Is there any reason to operate with such a deficit?”

“I have had enough. They take something that is priceless for such an insignificant amount of money.”

“What do you mean?”

Smart…
Can I come in for a minute?

“It is information. Oh come in.”

“Excuse me.”

Yang Ha-yeon did not stop talking even as his staff brought food.

“Who came here with whom, what kind of food did they like, what kind of drink did they order? And what topics are you talking about? On top of that, everything these two employees are hearing will also be passed over.”

“Hmmmm… That Hayeon…”

“Are you okay. Yu-Won-ssi, they wouldn’t have received such a poor education that they would have cared about such things.”

As Yang Ha-yeon said, the staff who set the food and tableware did not even move even though they were straightforward. I just bowed my head politely once quietly, then stepped back, closed the door, and left.

“With that, they must have taken information about Yu-Won. For example… Balto’s internal directors are not used to being treated well. They are close enough to exchange names with the guild leader without their surnames. And there will be a lot of information derived from it.”

“…That’s scary.”

Only then did Yoochun understand. They weren’t doing business at a loss. Rather, they were true first-class businessmen who took more than that indistinctly.

“It is for that reason that I call you Yuwon after I entered this place. It would be difficult for the original name to be revealed carelessly.”

‘Is that why he suddenly called me Yoo-won?’

I wondered why I was calling names that I used to only call in places where other people’s eyes were revealed, but it seems to have been resolved.

“Then why did the front desk call you Yuchun? Wasn’t it dangerous there too?”

“…Can you please stop doing that?”

“Yes?”

Yang Ha-yeon glared at the plate without making eye contact with Yoo-chun.

“That… Magic prevented the sound from leaking… It’s just that it’s the first time we’ve met in a place like this… Ugh…”

“Ah…”

Unlike men, women attach great importance to being first. Yang Ha-yeon I had never heard that she ever had a man, so it was probably the first time I had a pseudo-date in a place like this. I would have wanted to call such a person by his real name, not a pseudonym.

‘I didn’t notice.’

“Keuheum… Shall we eat it first?”

However, Yoochun didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere that had been revived, so he decided not to apologize.

“Heh…It’s obvious, but I’ll pass this time.”

“Ahahaha…”

Amuse bouche and various types of appetizers and mains, fish and meat came out in a certain order.

‘It’s not my taste.’

Not only was I not full, and even thinking about it positively, it felt more subtle than delicious. The more you eat, the more spicy and salty you crave?

‘Still, the atmosphere is nice.’

What can I say? Would you say that people become more open? I drank wine, but it was different from the alcohol. We usually spend time together and talk a lot, but here I felt something that made it possible to share more personal and everyday words.

Thanks to that, Yoochun was able to learn about the unknown parts of her sheep, Hayeon. Eating salad in front of you is an elf image management level. In reality, he is crazy about instant food like ramen or meat. As for alcohol, he likes distilled spirits such as soju more than wine.

My personal hobby is watching movies. Her actions and fantasies are rather insignificant to her who has seen more than that, and she mainly watches her love stories and everyday life.

Yoochun could feel that this world is still alive with these trivial information that she could not know in the game.

Yang Ha-yeon drank expensive wine like beer and smiled coolly.

“Puha…! It’s fun.”

“Yes. I see.”

“Ah…Wasn’t the thing just too classy? That…I’m a mercenary too…”

Haha! No. It’s okay.”

She looked more like a mercenary than a noble noblewoman, but Yuchun rather liked it. The way she blushed and patted her ears was also very cute.

“Rather, I am good. Because this seems to have narrowed the distance between me and Hayeon.”

Wouldn’t it be that she trusted herself to shed her neat elf image and show her true self? A beautiful woman like this gives you faith, but what kind of man would hate it?

“Is that so…?”

Yang Ha-yeon, who was twisting her hair and thinking about something, carefully opened her mouth.

“Well, then… Shall we decide on a name for us…?”

“A title?”

“Yes…The leader, the guild leader, Mr. Yoochun, and Mr. Hayeon, these are all things to show off to others…”

Yang Ha-yeon’s ears pulsated gradually.

“Well, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a title that the two of us could call each other…? It’s been over two months since we’ve known each other, and now we’ve become close like this even if it’s not for work… That…”

Yang Ha-yeon had a desire she hadn’t told anyone before. That is why Yuchun calls her older sister.

It was rare for a half-elf beauty who had been a mercenary since she was a child to make a relationship worthy of being called an older sister in the mercenary world.

‘Couldn’t it be my sister and not my aunt…?’

‘Shut up.’

Yang Ha-yeon ignored the voice of conscience like a loyal subject and decided to fulfill her greed at this opportunity, this spot.

“Because I am me, and my age is small. That…”

“Ah. Then, at a private event like this, shall we live as sisters and brothers?”

Is there anything you can’t say to a person you’ve been with for two months that you’re an older sister? Rather, Yoochun liked the fact that they were settling down one by one in a new world.

“Yes yes! Great!”

“Then Ha-yeon noona, noona, let go now.”

“Hey… That, can I do that…?”

“Of course it is fine. Where is the older sister who treats her younger brother with respect?”

“Yeah, yes…Yoo, no Yuwon.”

‘Cute…’

A 3X-year-old woman, and a mercenary who had seen everything, her unexpectedness of not knowing what to do with even one of her flat words was quite cute.

“Sister.”

“Yes?”

“It’s nice to eat and enjoy together like this, but I think you had something to say to me then, didn’t you?”

“…”

‘I like this atmosphere…But now I have to move on to the story.’

Yuchun did not forget the dark expression on Yang Ha-yeon’s face when he offered him a meal. All the main dishes came out, and the atmosphere must have been relaxed enough to be excessive. It’s a pity… Now the time has come to have a serious conversation.

“Yeah…Isn’t it time to do it soon?”

“I’m sorry, sister. But I don’t think I can go on like this…”

Yang Ha-yeon It was obvious what this older sister would ask for. But the weight of her content was unusual to her. Perhaps that’s why she even hesitated to open her mouth.

‘I was going to help anyway, so there’s no need to pretend I don’t know.’

“That’s right, actually, Yu-Won has something he wants to ask you for help with.”

Yang Ha-yeon quickly hides her youthful shyness and returns as a cool-headed mercenary with the smell of blood.

“Apart from loyalty, considering the help I gave, I think it’s a request that can be made enough.”

Yang Ha-yeon seems to be cold-hearted, but Yoo-chun knows that just as it is good for family members to be strict with each other when it comes to money relationships, it is good for each other to calculate coldly even if they are close to a contract that requires blood.

“I want you to help me get my revenge.”

“Revenge?”

‘As expected?’

Yuchun knew about the situation, but she pretended not to know. She decided that it was better to listen directly to her than to rely on the content of the game for certain reasons.

“First of all, I’ll start by talking about the past, when I was young…”

From then on, during the time to empty a bottle of wine, Yang Ha-yeon’s tragic story continued.

The conclusion of the content is simple. Elves are extreme purists.

‘I didn’t shorten the Nazi dwarfs to ‘donkeys’ for no reason.’

Yang Ha-yeon’s mother is a pure-blooded elf, and her father is a human. The love that sprang up between her father, who took care of her mother who was injured and collapsed. And its fruit. I wish I could be so happy, but a certain elf family in Yggdrasil sent killers directly to annihilate her family, who had stained the blood of noble elves.

And her daughter, who survived by risking her life to protect her parents, is on a journey to avenge that by cultivating her powers. It was a story that Yuchun knew all along. But there was one surprising fact that I didn’t know.

“Her mother was a high elf…?”

In terms of innate mana and talent for spirits, there is a difference enough to say that high elves and elves are different species.

“That’s right. If he was an ordinary elf in the first place, he wouldn’t have been attacked. Half-elves are rare, but not nonexistent.”

“Okay…”

Did they have to send killers all the way to Earth to kill her family? Why does Yang Ha-yeon, a half-elf, have the talent to reach a high rank? Until. Certainly, if her mother was a high elf, the ruler of Yggdrasil, then all those questions that had been overlooked would be resolved.

‘And…The family is probably related to her mother…’

“There is a high probability that my enemies will be a high elf family. Because honor for blood is often forced on those in the direct line related to oneself, not others.”

And Yang Ha-yeon was thinking the same thing.

“What I ask Yuwon of you is not direct revenge.”

“Yes? Then what…”

“I intend to clarify the object of my revenge. I know very well from experience that if you vaguely define the scope… There will be too much blood that doesn’t need to be shed.”

Yang Ha-yeon poured all of the strong wine that was more than half full into her glass, as if trying to overcome her anger.

“Instead of helping the director of her administration regarding her appearance in Kangwon Province the other day, Killian, I was able to get help from one of the Li Breath Faculty Members. Centering on him, she plans to connect with the people of the Faculty Council, receive requests, and receive a one-time use of Akion in the central tower of Libreath. And I plan to use it to find out the killer group and family that killed my father and mother…”

“…”

“If we do well… A better option than that might come up this time… But that’s not confirmed, so I’ll make an exception for now.”

Yang Ha-yeon remembered the note she received from Alice Parcel. Due to various circumstances that occurred in Korea, she is Inje.

“I’ll take the request from the Faculty Council. Yuwon, you just help me with that request. I’ll pass on all the price I get. He wouldn’t even want to help with revenge himself. So…”

“I will help.”

“Uh? That, right? Thanks…”

“I’ll even help you get revenge.”

“Huh…?”

“How can you take revenge on the high elves alone? I don’t like helping vaguely like that, and I’ll help you to the end myself.”

Yuchun knows which of the hundreds of high elf families she will seek revenge on. It’s not Yggdrasil’s huge family, but right now she’s not the target to fight and win.

“But…”

“You can’t trust me, do you?”

“Oh no, that can’t be!”

Yang Ha-yeon jumped up from her seat and shouted at Yoochun’s tone of regret.

“Then what’s the matter?”

“That…Just…Wasn’t I getting too much for what I did…”

“What…You just have to be with me like you are now.”

A woman who has the qualifications to become a high-ranker can make her a lifelong ally, and he can provide that amount of help as much as he wants.

‘The problem is, how do I tell you what I know…’

There was no need to waste time accepting Libreath’s request. She just needs to hide in Yggdrasil right now and erase that family name. However, Yoochun has no evidence to tell Yang Hayeon, ‘These are your enemies!’ However, she was reluctant to avenge her instead.

‘There is still time, so let’s think about it.’

“Yeah…That would be nice. Okay…”

Yang Ha-yeon, who was standing and leaning on the table, lowered her head and pondered, slowly raised her head and looked at Yoochun on the other side.

“Yoo-won, no, Yoo-chun-ah…”

“Yes?”

“If you, um…Yes, help me avenge my…”

Yang Ha-yeon smiled with her cheeks blushing. It felt different from the embarrassment I had before. And the wet green eyes were a little more sticky and… Lewd.

‘Uh…’

Seeing that scene, Yoochun was swallowing saliva.

“I’ll give you…”

Yoochun was at a loss for words at Yang Ha-yeon’s sarcastic words.
