019 – Old Rookie Hayildo and Strange Beasts # 1

“The water supply and heating are all fixed. I also installed the internet, and waterproof paint on the roof and—”

Seo Ye-rim explained various things in the large yard.

It was mostly a story of fixing and renovating the well house.

Indeed, the building with funds from the Telos Corporation looked much nicer than when it was called the Haunted House.

Since the walls and outer walls of the building were freshly painted, it looked like a brand new house.

“This Oinoi, I have never seen such a pretty house… ! A bar that sparkles like a small castle…. The nymph who lives in such a pretty house must be the first Oinoi… !”

Ohinoi hurriedly climbed up to the roof and looked down at the yard. It must have been very pleasant to live in a new house after staying in a cramped one-room.

When I was young, I felt so good when I moved into a new house.

Check where my room is and check where the nearby convenience store or PC room is.

I also figured out whether or not there are friends my age living next door.

When I was thinking about that, Seo Ye-rim looked into the well and added her words.

“Also, from time to time, people in charge will come to collect samples from the well. Whenever possible, cooperate with them. Anything else you need to say, I’ll contact you whenever I think of it, so reply right away. Okay?”

Perhaps it was because he was the owner of the house, there were a lot of tricky things.

Is this the sorrow of living on a monthly rent?

“The allowance for closing the anomalous rift in the well will be deposited into your bank account soon, so you know that.”

“Good.”

The will to earn money has surged.

I must earn a lot of money and live at home.

“So, who is next to you?”

Seo Ye-rim asked.

It seems that the old man who was spinning around us from earlier was concerned.

“The chief of this town.”

“Hello. My name is Park I-soo, who worked as a professor at University A. He has been retired for a while, but everyone just calls him Professor Park.”

The head of the village was a curious and nosy person.

It is impossible not to be interested in taking over a place known as a haunted house from a large company and constructing various things.

Like a person who had asked me a lot of things out of the blue, I was curious about Seo Ye-rim.

“My lady, are you a celebrity? I think I’ve seen her a lot on TV. Didn’t she promote a water purifier?”

Unlike the way Chief Lee treated me when he first saw me, he spoke with respect to Seo Ye-rim. Could it be that she felt the aura of a person who was both a model and a celebrity and could not easily deal with it?

Soon, Seo Ye-rim said a word.

“Haildo, I’ll give you money, so at least give me rice cakes. Do not forget that you are the face of Telos while you are staying here.”

While saying that, she took out her wallet and pulled out two 1 million won checks.

With this money, even if you buy rice cakes, isn’t it money to make rice cakes?

When I was thinking about that, Seo Ye-rim added her words.

“Use the remaining money to buy some Oinoi clothes. Every time I see you, you’re wearing tight sweats. You know that if you are entrusted with a drifter, you have to take care of food, clothing, and shelter, right?”

You’re just nagging.

The F-class Awakener who had been taught by me has now completely become a boss. I don’t even know what life is.

Diliriring -.

Then the phone rang.

It wasn’t my cell phone.

After Seo Ye-rim said, “For a moment,” She answered the phone, and her expression immediately wrinkled.

“At the T-class crack? No, the T-class crack in Gyeonggi-do was supposed to be handled by Lee Jung-hoon. I told you in advance that today is a day off. Ah. Alas, yes.”

Apparently, someone interrupted his schedule, so he ended up working on his off-duty days.

Seo Ye-rim said, “Ah, Mr.” As if she was angry.

Perhaps thanks to that, the snow in the yard that had fallen lightly last night melted in an instant. Soon, Ahn Young-eun, Seo Ye-rim’s secretary and manager, hurriedly came running in a black suit.

“Yerim! I got a call from the superintendent! This time to Yongin—”

“I know. Let’s go.”

“Okay, let me drive you!”

Seo Ye-rim got into a car driven by her secretary/manager, Ahn Young-eun, and drove away.

I didn’t overhear it on purpose, but I was quite concerned that the name of S-Class Awakener Lee Jung-hoon came up in the conversation.

It seems Lee Jung-hoon has a funk, right?

Could it be related to what happened when you met Yuari?

I touched my cell phone.

When she looked at what she had contacted Yua-ri, she said, “I heard you well. I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope it’s resolved well.” There was no reply after the message she sent.

“I would have confirmed it when I saw that the 1 next to the message disappeared.”

Did I just read it?

Didn’t you say that women spend all day on their phones? It reminded me of a D-class woman who didn’t let go of her cellphone even while getting injured in the rift.

The fact that there was no reply from those women….

It was time to think about that.

Soon a message flew in.

「2Nd period Yuari: Senior, I haven’t been in a good situation since the last time, so I couldn’t contact you! I’m sorry, what should I do?”

“…… !”

Startled.

I was terribly perplexed.

That’s because I didn’t think that a new message would come from the person in question when I was checking my messages.

「2Nd period Yuari: Senior, 1 disappears right away?」

「2Nd season Yuari: Were you looking at my chat window?」

「Second period Yuari: Looks like we have something in common too!」

「Second period Yuari: (Hooray rabbit emoticon)」

It was.

Earlier in Telos’s messaging app Tel Talk, there was a number ‘1’ that remained until the other person read the message.

「Me: No」

「Me: I was just trying to send a message saying that I also moved this time」

「Second period Yuari: Are you moving?」

「Second period Yuari: We should have a housewarming party! Last time I said I would buy you food, but I couldn’t pay and I’m sorry I went, so I bought meat myself this time hahahahaha”

Housewarming.

Having never done anything like that since I was born, the word was quite unfamiliar to me.

It is said that well-known celebrities have housewarmings with their friends when they move in and out.

It seemed like I had seen it in a variety show where celebrities lived luxuriously alone.

They were self-sufficient people like me, but I felt deprived for no reason, so I didn’t look at them anymore, seeing celebrities drinking wine and looking at the night view of the Han River while I was drinking cola from PT bottles.

“Now I can be like that.”

“Muhh, the quince seeds are well planted in the garden… ! If you water it now, it is certain that sooner or later the tree will grow and bear quince fruits… !”

Oinoi planted the seed Grepnoi was protecting in the yard of the well house.

At that moment, I thought about the soil, environment, and climate suitable for growing seeds, so I wondered if they would grow well, but Oinoi proudly pushed her wide chest forward.

“This oi-noi is a nymph, a kind of nature… ! He knows better than anyone else about caring for and raising trees. ! This land is sure to grow well with quince… !”

I heard that.

Nymphs are a kind of fairy like elves.

Considering that elves who have been naturalized in Korea are excellent at gardening, it was clear that nymphs, a similar tribe, would also be good at growing vegetables, flowers, and trees.

I was worried for nothing.

“The quince looks like an apple, but it glows yellow…. It is also known as the golden apple… ! The taste… Not very… Anyway, it’s good for the body… !”

Golden apples.

The name caught my attention as well.

I hope you grow up soon.

Of course, apples weren’t the only thing to grow now.

My skills also had to grow rapidly.

“Kyongkyongi, come and see.”

I called the squirrel that was running around the garden chasing bugs. Then, Kyeong-kyeong ㅡ Kreureung… ! And got angry.

Dog squirrels were more independent than I thought.

It’s like a creature that can never be tamed.

It was the same with Kyeongkyong.

“I’ll give you peanuts.”

Shut-.

I took expensive macadamia nuts out of my pocket.

Then, Kyeongkong climbed onto my palm and ate the peanuts.

!

“Yes, yes.”

Suk-.

I ran the palm of my hand through the kongkeong’s fur.

I hope his brown hair shines even brighter through the magical energy my palm grants-.

“Kongkong-ah, go!”

!

A squirrel shot out of the palm of my hand.

The guy bumped into a small rock in the yard and smashed it.

“Oh, the power is amazing!”

I wondered if this would be similar to the power of the “Railgun” Used by Class C Awakeners.

I could understand it after watching a lot of Me Tube videos of C-class Awakeners’ weapon performance test.

I’ve always dreamed that I should buy a weapon like that when I become a C-rank one day.

“With this much power, I think I can accept the C-class rift request….”

How much was the subjugation allowance for the C-class rift?

As far as I know, from C level, I remembered that one more 0 unit was added.

When I opened my cell phone and searched, I saw a story about receiving 1 million won in one crack subjugation——.

“On average, it takes three days to subdue C-class. If you work non-stop for a month, about 10 cases…. So, how much money can you earn per month? .”

Thousand per month.

It was a great amount.

It means that the annual salary exceeds 100 million won.

My back started to itch already.

“Oinoi, do you want to go to the city together? I want to buy bread for the neighbors and buy your own clothes.”

“This cucumber noi is praying to grow quince seeds… ! While praying, you should be immersed in only one thing…. The owner of the house is going alone… !”

What is the origin again?

Apparently, a cucumber-noi was spinning around in the yard where the seeds were planted. It looked like he was dancing at least.

“Angangi, you are with Oino.”

– Gizz.

I guess that means you got it.

I went downtown and bought rice cakes, and with the money I had left over, I bought new sweats from Oinoi. The yellow outfit, similar to Bruce Lee’s, seemed to go well with Oinoi’s honey-colored hair.

With both hands full of a shopping cart, I went to a public institution.

It was to submit the documents that I received the C-level certification and receive the job accordingly. Actually, this is the main point in town.

“Are you Haildo?”

A woman in her early thirties wearing glasses looked at me indifferently.

She looked at the documents I had filled out and asked.

“The one on the list of equipment you use. You must enter the correct product name. Sometimes, there are people who give nicknames like ‘Excalibur’ to high-frequency blades and write them down.”

Aha, I’ve seen it often too.

Guys who arbitrarily change weapon names and list them in documents.

“You must write down the correct name in order to accept the quest.”

That was right.

You have to write down the equipment you use and the skills you have so that the team leaders who organize the rift clearing team can figure out the exact power and create a team.

It is a loss to write falsely or strangely.

I had a long career and a lot of experience as a team leader, so I was able to proudly say that I knew that fact.

“I wrote everything truthfully.”

“… Is the name of the weapon equipment you are using really ‘dog squirrel’? Which company is the product made by? Is it a sword? Is it a firearm?”

“Kyongkong-ah, come here for now.”

Shut-.

The kongkong, which was quietly in my pocket, climbed up and stood on the table.

!

“What is this? It’s okay to bring an animal indoors now… !?”

The expression of the civil servant in charge, who was normally indifferent, became even more bitter.

Would the assistants’ expressions be the same as they are now when they saw that a trainee who had been enlisted at the army training center secretly brought a hamster?

I spoke confidently and confidently.

“That’s right, I’ll show you. Is it possible to use the back lab?”
