Chapter 49 – Still Friends

When the next destination was decided, I returned the glasses to the cafe staff to look at Yuna’s new house and the office to be used for the hunter work of Jena’s group when the sun was up.

Of course, Yuna was in a state of not knowing that I was going to give her a new house. I was excited to see how she would receive the surprise gift.

Before leaving the store, Yuna, Yena, and Harin left, saying they were going to the bathroom for a while, and Jiyoon hugged me and whispered softly so that I wouldn’t eavesdrop on those around me.

“President. Originally, it was to work for hunters caught in our dorm. By the way, is it okay if I buy you an office for the Hunter business?”
“It’s fine. The lodging has Alhemina, right? Hide the child’s conspicuous tail and wait for the customer. Or she can summon more kids. But, you are the only ones who can do hunter activities like Yuna.”

Seeing that the other party hadn’t come out of the bathroom yet, he patted Jiyoon on the shoulder and added.

“Harin knows that she still wants to become an S-class hunter, and you guys also noticed that you don’t want to give up your hunter activities. Now that you are in my arms, I should help you as much as possible so that you can do what you want to do.”

And, rather than serving customers internally, there was a calculated thought that if you made your name known as a hunter, you could attract more attractive women to the dungeon.

“President…”

With a moved expression, she put her hands together and stroked Jiyoon’s head as she looked up.

“And most of all, I couldn’t stand Yuna, who would become my woman, being despised by those around me.”

As she slightly revealed her sincerity, Jiyoon nodded her head in agreement.

“I know. Can Yuna be acknowledged by everyone?”
“You know how to do it, let’s discuss it together. Because I don’t know what Hunter is like.”

Jiyoon also pounded her chest with her fist, as if asking her to leave it like her Jena a moment ago. Then, as if she had finished her business, three people came back from the bathroom.

I rode a steel wagon called an unmanned taxi called by Jiyoon and moved to an area close to my dungeon. Then she contacted a broker and started looking for a building she wanted.

The broker said that this place is far from the center of the city, so the security is not so good. She pretended to be worried, saying that it would be dangerous if only women lived, and when she tried to scam her, she showed Jena her hunter license with her cold face.

The middleman, whose face turned blue, bowed her head several times asking if they were Hunters and apologized for not knowing. The nervous broker showed her a list of all the buildings for sale without further ado. After thinking about it with Jiyoon and putting out a few conditions, many buildings were selected.

Among them, she chose a two-story building with a basement that could be used as a studio. She paid for the building on the spot, using almost all the cash she had brought with her.

Registered as using the electronic system blah? The transfer of ownership was carried out in an instant. Ownership was set to 25% each for Yena and Yuna. I have no status or anything here, so of course it was impossible to register ownership in my name.

When I took the unmanned taxi and moved to the building that belonged to Jena and the others, I looked up at the building, which looked quite sturdy, and calculated the distance to build an underground passage to connect this place to the dungeon.

When the underground passage was completed, it would be helpful for Yena and her party to go to work, but if the dungeon entrance was controlled by the Hunter Association, it was also a side road to freely enter and exit the city without conflict.

It seemed that the magic power used to create the passage could be created in the near future if Minji and Jisoo acted properly and there were visitors in the dungeon.

After thinking about it, I entered the new building with Jiyoon at the fore. There was literally nothing inside the building. Looking for something unusual, the windows had thick iron covers on both sides to prevent intrusion from the outside.

“There is nothing. President.”
“Still, if I deliver it via the Internet, will all the furniture I need come within today?”

Harin didn’t care and looked at her internal structure, then she opened the wooden side door and looked inside her, and she waved her hand as if to ask me to come this way. Let’s get closer, Harin pointed to something that seemed to be made of a material similar to pottery.

“This is a modern toilet.”

She was explained about the washbasin, enlargement, and toilet seat. She was talking about changing the toilet of a room inside the dorm or master room in this way.

I explained it hard the other day, but the principle was quite good unlike the electricity I didn’t know at all, so I thought the dungeon core could make something similar.

Now, the only thing left of the promise is electricity. Jena came up with an idea for this when I informed her of my plan to build an underground passage connecting it.

“…Wouldn’t it be fine if I took an electric wire from here and connected it all the way there?”

Both Harin and Jiyoon agreed, saying it was a good idea, so everything we decided to urgently improve was resolved. Now, on the first floor to be used as an office, a weapon locker or a desk would be nice. Started talking about it.

Yuna, who was walking around the building in the same way, saw her go up the stairs to the second floor.

She stepped on the stairs and went up to the second floor.

It is a two-story building that looks infinitely lower than the tall buildings in the center, but the surrounding buildings are all similar, so the evening glow penetrates well into the room.

“How? Do you like it?”

He turned to my voice and smiled awkwardly. It was so beautiful that I would like to leave it as a picture if possible. When her eyes met, Yuna brought her hands together near her belly button and wiggled her fingers.

“To be honest, I feel burdened.”

The plain clothes showing signs of wear here and there, as if they had been there for a long time, and the makeup that was pale compared to Yena and the others. Even at a cafe, you can choose something that is reasonably cheap. It was easy to see that he had lived a life of unfulfillment.

“This is the first time I’ve received so many favors, and the first person to support me so that I can live without worrying about money.”

There were a lot of people who hated me. And murmured softly. It was a voice so small that I could not have heard it if I were human.

With strides and confident steps, he narrowed the distance with Yuna.

“This is all because Yuna is pretty and she is trying to win your heart. How would you react if I answered yes?”
“I think I’m making fun of Ispin, who looks pretty and lacks nothing, when he says that?”

She laughed and lowered her gaze, as if she really thought it was a joke. She stopped two steps away and cupped Yuna’s cheek with the palm of her hand. The warmth of her body tickled her palms.

“Well. What do we do? Even if I tell the truth, Yuna won’t accept it.”

She put on a troubled expression and lightly stroked Yuna’s mouth with her thumb. I looked down at her pretty face with affection, careful not to touch her lips.

“Even if Yuna doesn’t believe it right now, it’s okay. From now on, we can get to know each other step by step.”
“As a friend?”

When Yuna tilted her head and asked, she didn’t answer and laughed. Instead, she brought up a different story.

“Sooner or later, the association will announce that they discovered a dungeon near here.”

Yuna opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“How do you know that? The association said it would never reveal its internal circumstances…”
“Is that important?”
“No. That is not important. Ispin’s intention was to give information that a dungeon would appear. You mean to prepare to be active together with Jena and the others?”

She nodded her head, enjoying the touch of Yuna’s soft cheek. Yes. That was the correct answer. The source of the information didn’t matter at all. It was important whether the information could be used or not.

“As soon as it is known, she is not saying to go straight in. She’s told Jena too, so she’ll take care of her timing.”

I wasn’t going to let him in, at least until our relationship became more than just normal friends. Yuna is of the same sex as me, but when she felt the heartbeat, it was the time to enter the Reds Corruption Dungeon.

Until Yuna entered the dungeon, she planned to have the other hunters who entered the dungeon dedicate her magic by degrading to Reds, and use that magic to grow the dungeon sufficiently.

And when the time came, Yuna, who was struggling through the dungeon with Yena and the others, was caught, and after conflicting between the feeling of betrayal and pleasure, the time when she would dedicate her body and mind to me… I was very looking forward to it.

“Oh right. She forgot to tell you one thing.”
“Yes?”
“It’s Yuna. Do you want to live here on the second floor?”

She gave Yuna an excuse she had in mind before she could answer.

“On the second floor, I will make a room where you can rest when you come back from work and are too tired to go home. But isn’t it a waste if you buy a building and leave it empty often? So. If you feel burdened by me, I would like you to live in this building and take on the role of managing it.”

She quickly explained the reason as logically as possible. Then, Yuna opened her eyes narrowly like a cat and gave a small smile.

“If I accept this offer, will it be what Ispin said in the first place? ‘I’ll pay for everything, including ammunition, consumables, food, and housing.'”

Pointing out that the process was different but the result was the same, Yuna looked up at my face and said.

“Even if I refuse to say it’s burdensome, will you suggest that I stay here with another reason?”

It was a natural story. Although it was a short time, Yuna realized my obsession and eventually accepted my proposal. Yuna, who felt burdened by her favor, was cute and wanted to kiss her on the lips.

Sia approached me with regular footsteps, and she hugged me tightly from behind. Then she gave me a disapproving look at Yuna, whose face was covered, and said,

“Let’s go downstairs. I have something to show you.”
