Chapter 24 – 24. Sell Mission (1)

The quarterfinals ended smoothly.
The result was the same as the round of 16, but the content was empty.

A landslide 2-0 victory for the Battle Angels.
Still looking at the nuclear sphere that dragged out time, right? Unlike the team, he was consistently swayed without initiative.

In the end, both games were finished with Ryu Seo-yoon’s hard carry.
Following last time, today’s response was also hot.

“Battle Angels are really surprising.”
“Many people predicted that it would be a knockout in the round of 16, but we are already advancing to the semifinals!”

[I believe in Battle Angels!]
[Go to the finals!!]
[The competition level where Hyeji’s team slaps rice cakeshaha]
[Hye-ji-hye-ji, please stop]

As the competition progresses, the number of matches decreases, so the preparation time until the next match is shortened.
Since the semi-finals will be held tomorrow, there was no time for dinner today.

I am just as busy.
I had to analyze the opponents in the semifinals scheduled today.
An opponent at the level of the quarterfinals did not need a strategy, but the level of the opponent in the quarterfinals was higher than that.
You can’t be careless.

“Get a good rest today and see you tomorrow.”

It was too late, so the players were dismissed.
Unless you’re practicing a special strategy, running a ranked game for a few more hours won’t change the results.
Condition management is more important than that.

Jihye Lee and Seoyoon Ryu were left in the practice room.
It was possible because there was still a mission fee settlement with Lee Ji-hye.

But isn’t Ryu Seo-yoon no reason to stay?
As she looked at her questioningly, she replied, twisting her hair.

“That… The night before the competition, I couldn’t sleep…”

He stared at Ryu Seo-yoon.
Her growing dependence her on me.

She intended to be a little more comfortable selling, but I could n’t devote all of her time to her.

“Come to my room, both of you.”

I drew my knife
Two embarrassed girls.
It looked like he didn’t know that something like this would happen in Korea.

“Isn’t that strange?”
“Can’t we just meet alone?”

The two girls looked at each other while talking about different things.
The question that came to my face was the same.

‘Why are you going to the coach’s room at dawn?’

The two girls of the same age were exchanging mysterious glances.
I decided it was time to be decisive.

If you show hesitation, you will lose both rabbits.
Get up once.

“Follow. There’s a competition tomorrow, so let’s finish it quickly.”

After thinking about it, they eventually followed me.
Lee Ji-hye had to get paid, and Ryu Seo-yoon had a hard time falling asleep unless he was by my side the day before the competition.
They didn’t have a choice.

As I opened the door, I saw a messy room inside.
It was a mark made by rushing out in the morning.
Ryu Seo-yoon hurriedly ran.

Haha. You haven’t sorted it out.”

She smiles awkwardly.
If she were alone with me, she would have acted shamelessly, but she was different now that Jihye Lee came.

I glanced at her Jihye Lee and saw her with her serious face.

“I don’t think the reason the two came together before today’s competition… ?”

Jihye Lee just looked at me.
She met her eyes with hers.
Even I, who was stern-blooded, felt ashamed of her gaze, so I just wanted to avoid her eyes.

I didn’t go out with Ryu Seo-yoon or act affectionately, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be wrong, but somehow it feels like I was caught having an affair.

If she was a normal coach, she might have made excuses.
I haven’t had any relationship with Ryu Seo-yoon yet, I just slept in the same bed the day before the competition because I couldn’t sleep.

It was an excuse that could feel clumsy, but it was the truth without lies.
However, I was not a normal coach.
I went into the room, ignoring the astonished Lee Ji-hye and the busily moving Ryu Seo-yoon.

“Sit down. We need to talk about the mission.”
“Ah…Yes…”

Lee Ji-hye, who had been glaring at me with her sharp eyes, started to notice the opposite this time.
The body of Ryu Seo-yoon, who was cleaning up her own traces, stopped again.
Ryu Seo-yoon looked at the two of us with a strange gaze.

“Coach. What is your mission?”
“Oh, nothing.”

Lee Ji-hye cut off her words, as if she was ashamed to tell the rest of the team yet.
He was afraid that I would casually tell all the facts.

It was fun to see Lee Ji-hye embarrassed.
It was also fresh to see Ryu Seo-yoon, who looked suspiciously at her side.

I extended my finger and pointed to my room.

“You go in and sleep. Because we have something to talk about.”
“… Is this something I shouldn’t have heard?”

Ryu Seo-yoon said as if he was sorry.
Jihye Lee hastily threw out her excuse.

“It’s about my family history. I want you to avoid the seat for a while.”

I didn’t say anything, but ‘you know you’re hiding something. Pretend you don’t know.’
Ryu Seo-yoon nodded and disappeared into the room with the clothes he had been carrying.

Jihye Lee let out a sigh of relief and tiredness, then raised her eyes and glared at me.
The sharp eyes behind the glasses seem to pierce me.

“…What did you do to Seoyoon? Why are you living in the same room?”

It’s a shame for me too.
First of all, I opened a can of coffee on the desk and quenched my thirst.

“Ryu Seo-yoon crawled in first.”
“Why is he?”
“Are you curious about that?”

She looked at her without averting her eyes.
After wrestling with me for a while, she inevitably took her gaze away.

“Don’t do anything weird. You are still innocent.”

Are you the same age as me?
I smiled and put down the can of coffee and said.

“Are you feeling a little better now?”
“I am saying this out of concern. It’s a team, though.”
“You don’t have to worry about Ryu Seo-yoon. As her coach, I am just giving her what she most desires.”
“……”

Lee Ji-hye’s eyes widened slightly.
She could sense that she was thinking about something.
Soon after, in a serious tone, she asked a question.

“Are you beating Seoyoon?”

She knew that one day she would notice.
However, she thought that the question would come first to Kang Yul or Baek Ha-yeon, who are staying with Ryu Seo-yoon, but she did not know that Lee Ji-hye would hear it first.
I nodded my head without worrying too much.

“…Is that what she wanted too?”
“She must have wanted someone who held her strong. I just took the reins of a rambunctious horse.”

My answer didn’t clear all my doubts, but Lee Ji-hye nodded her head.
It’s not a minor, it’s Ryu Seo-yoon’s business.
I felt like I had come to that conclusion.

“Then shall we get to the point now?”
“Yes.”

I took out my cell phone
It was time to settle the mission cost.

80 percent achievement rate.
It was a lower number compared to the previous mission, which was 100%, but the mission cost was incomparably higher.

I sent 6.7 million won to her bank account her.
She smiled a little when she confirmed that her money had come in without omission.

“What is the next mission?”

She seemed totally addicted to the mission.
She earned close to 10 million won in two missions.
Is there any way in the world to make money this easily?
It was not strange that her eyes turned upside down.

But the world isn’t so kind.
I handed her the third mission sheet.
Her expression hardened as she checked the mission with a smile.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you like it?”
“You finally reveal your true feelings.”

Her voice her sounded suppressed.
I said nothing.

“It’s great… “

The sound of her biting her teeth could be heard from here.
A large mission with a total prize of 13.5 million won.
However, the direction was gradually shifting toward selling.

It’s humiliating to accept, and too much money to refuse.
She felt the need to blow her winds up for her in her distress.

“So far, she has received about 10 million won in mission fees.”
“……”
“And the cost of the mission this time was 13.5 million won. It’s an amount you can accept if you just bend your pride.”
“…I know.”

She glances at me with her defiant eyes.
I also felt a mixture of resentment.

“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.”

In addition, I took out a cheat key.
It was a threat that drew Ryu Seo-yoon’s tears every time he wrote it.

“I don’t need players who can’t keep up with the training. I won’t give you a penalty, but don’t expect the kindness you’ve shown me in the future.”
“…I know.”

She nodded her head at my firm words.
Could he really give up on the mission?

She pretended to be strong, but she was nervous about the money she had spent and the information she knew.
Fortunately, the words that came out of her mouth were more on the positive side.

“Mission completion rate is over 50%… Do not forget it.”

You don’t have to complete all missions.
Even if you only keep 50 percent, you can take the next mission without any penalty.
Even if you can’t fill 50 percent, you just have to be punished.
It seemed that way.

I also nodded her head.
Lee Ji-hye, who had already tasted the money of 10 million won, was gradually falling into the swamp of her mission.
She has my weaknesses in her own way, so she seems to think that she can quit at any time, but she was convinced by the fact that she accepted this mission.

She was already too late to get her feet out of her.

I can’t move if I hit the hawk.
