Encounter (3)

After meeting with Hong Yura.

I was immersed in deep contemplation, realizing that these were problems that could not be resolved immediately, and returned to the training ground.

My teammates didn’t even ask me if they were paying attention to my situation, and thanks to this, I was able to get rid of my thoughts and focus on my work again… .

“It’s Hannah.”

“… … .”

“Is it Hannah?”

“Yes Yes!?”

“Can we talk for a second?”

“… ?”

I took the time to meet Hanna’s feedback, so I looked at her eyes and calmly spoke out pretending not to know anything.

“I think I’ve been thinking hard about something since a while ago… . Do you have any concerns?”

OK.

Bang Hanna flinched as if stabbed, then waved her hand and strongly denied it.

“Oh, no!? Don’t you have any worries?!”

A strong negative is a strong positive.

She looked like she had a problem.

‘Is it because of the vow?’

It is a fact that Han-na Bang knew that she was subtly inferior to Jin Seo-won.

He seems to have improved a lot recently, but it seems he was shocked again by Jin Seo-won’s skills.

‘… It would be right to pretend not to know here.’

“okay? Or you’re lucky.”

Naturally, I turned the topic off and looked around for a while, then glanced at Bang Han-na and brought out the most important topic.

“Hannah. Let’s stay together with Seowon for only two weeks.”

That moment.

“… … yes?”

Hanna Bang showed a blank reaction as if she did not understand,

I sped up the momentum and quickly expressed the need for the camp.

“As I said before, Seowon and you are in a relationship that definitely needs cooperation. Do you still remember?”

“uh… . I do remember… .”

“So I planned it, and I think it would be nice if you and Seowon could develop teamwork through a camp.”

“… Ha, it’s a camp… ?”

“yes. At first, I thought about doing it with Narae, but I don’t think Narae will be needed right away.”

In fact, the camp is a kind of prescription drug.

It is a dangerous method that can increase teamwork to an extreme and can go extremely wrong.

There would be no need to bring in Kim Na-rae, who doesn’t have any problems.

“Of course, we will take care of all the accommodation and basic living expenses, and we plan to find a house where we can share only the living room so that it is not inconvenient to each other as much as possible.”

“uh… .”

“Try it for just two weeks, and if you feel any discomfort, you can stop. I have no intention of breaking your teamwork by forcing you to do it.”

“Uh… .”

As if bewildered by the unexpected suggestion, Hanna had shown a very subtle reaction as if my persuasion did not work… .

‘I need something powerful.’

After thinking for a while about something to persuade her, I immediately took out my cell phone and began to appeal to the strengths of living in the dorm.

“Would you like to see what the room looks like first?”

“… Go, suddenly?”

“Actually, I took all the pictures just in case you didn’t know. oh It’s the same apartment as my house, so I’m fastidious around here.”

“… … yes?”

The two’s dorm is the same as the apartment I live in.

There must be some minor problems between the two of them, but shouldn’t someone take care of them?

“Do you remember our house? It looks exactly like that structure… .”

“No, no, wait a minute… ! The dorm is in the same building as the producer… ?”

“Is that a little bit?”

“Well, it’s not… ! that… . Is the producer also visiting the dorm? ? It’s not that I don’t like it! A little more. that… . Friendship? Should I say… . Anyway, I was wondering if there was such a thing… !”

Hanna looks like she is looking forward to it.

To meet her expectations, I confidently nodded and recounted the details of the services I could provide.

“Then, of course it is! Homemade home-cooked meals are served every weekday evening. Dinner menu can be selected when participating in the grocery shopping. When there is no special business, we guarantee commuting by car, and provide car and manpower for personal business. Isn’t this pretty good?”

gulp-

Swallowing her saliva to see if my proposal was so attractive, she cautiously asked, blinking her big eyes in disbelief.

“… Gee, is it true?”

“yes.”

“I, really? Are you really doing this?”

“Can’t you believe me?”

“Well, it’s not… ! I thought it might be too hard… .”

“a… . If this is difficult, you can’t be a producer.”

And only after receiving confirmation several times, he began to say with a twinkle in his eyes as if he was really convinced.

“I’ll stay with you… !”

It felt like there was something different… .

‘Well, good is good.’

This and that, going in a good way, I decided to think about it without difficulty.

*

After a while.

I took some time in the afternoon to stop by the Sejin Guild office building, and I was having a meeting with Lee Hye-ri and others from the Sejin Guild about producing Black Rose.

“Our team is currently in second place with about 870,000 points. Recently, Queens has not been active at the gate at all, so the goal is to narrow the points as much as possible to the subjugation of the witch’s castle, which has been confirmed.”

The Hunter team’s ranking is determined by how many points it has accumulated in terms of some kind of official value.

As a season concept, it is reset every year on August 1st, and the current number one team, Queens, has a little over 1 million points.

“It is written that there are three gates planned before the witch’s castle… . Is this right?”

“Two A-classes and one S-class are scheduled for a total of three times.”

“Well… . I think the schedule is too tight. Can’t you take it off after the witch’s last name?”

Lim Dae-seop, who is in charge of the producer of Black Rose, gave a slightly troubled expression.

He, who has been in charge of Black Rose for nearly 10 years, has been explaining the situation to me, even when I was quite young.

“Actually, I want to… . The kids really want to achieve first place with the witch’s castle.”

“Hmm… .”

I could fully understand the feelings of the Black Rose members as well.

Black Rose, who has always been shining at number one, has not been able to escape from the position of second place for many years after the appearance of Queens.

If you don’t reach the top spot right now, at the age where you’re at your peak, you may never be able to surpass the top spot again in the future.

Of course, since we have built up so far, it will not be easily destroyed… .

It won’t be easy to beat the Queens, who haven’t reached the age they call their prime.

But.

“My heart is understandable. It’s kind of like it because it seems like you’re pushing too far behind. Even if we achieved 1st place in the subjugation of the Witch’s Castle, Queens would not be idle, but from then on, we must change our real lifespan.”

The world of competition is cruel.

Black Rose seems to want to surpass the ranks in the witch’s castle subjugation by 10,000 points,

This was a difference that would soon be overturned when Queens resumed the gate subjugation.

“The Witch’s Castle isn’t an ordinary S-class gate, and it’s ambiguous even if you coolly attack it in full condition. It seems appropriate to convince the members again about this.”

at that time.

“You can try to convince yourself.”

Hyeri Lee, who had been silently observing the situation all the time, came up with a word.

“Come in.”

Then he beckoned outside and called someone.

burst-

Eventually, the door opened and everyone’s eyes naturally fell on her.

“Excuse me.”

I was slightly surprised by her unexpected appearance.

‘Gonginna!’

It was Gonggongna, the leader of Black Rose and an S-rank hunter.

She came in with her trademark black short hair, greeted the people of the Sejin Guild, and then found me and greeted me with a slightly surprised reaction.

“I came here because you said you were there. Isn’t that a hindrance?”

“What is in the way? Thank you for coming.”

So the public figure naturally participated in the meeting.

“How far has it gone?”

“Hey, we were talking about our schedule… .”

Lim Dae-seop, who was explaining the contents of the meeting, looked at me and told me that he had a tight schedule… .

“… okay?”

Gong Gong-na glanced at me with a strange look, wondering if it was not worth tackling their plans.

That moment.

“About that, producer Do Ji-hyuk has something to say. Can you hear me?”

Hyeri Lee sneaked in and led the conversation.

If you don’t like the schedule, it means to persuade as much as you can.

‘However much.’

“… As you just heard, I decided this schedule was unreasonable. I think it’s not enough to stock up on stamina even to the witch’s castle.”

I said, making eye contact with Gongjinna.

“I don’t doubt Black Rose’s skills, I’m speaking in consideration of her future activities. As you know, the witch’s castle is a fairly difficult gate. There is no need to take risks and forcefully plan ahead for such a big event.”

Then, Gong Gong-na slightly narrowed her brow as if she was dissatisfied, and then countered again and again.

“Do you know where our team goal is?”

“Yes. Aren’t you number one?”

“Don’t you know better than anyone how much effort you have to put in to win that first place?”

That’s right.

Few people know the Hunter Team Ranking better than I do.

However.

So I couldn’t agree to this schedule.

“Then let me ask you one thing. How much do you want Inna to be number one?”

“what… .”

Gonggongna blurs the end of her words as if she didn’t understand the gist of the question.

I continued to persuade, thinking of the probability that Black Rose could actually win the first place.

“The odds of the Black Rose finishing the season in first place are very slim. Right now, the Heavenly Flower Guild is needlessly turning Queens outside, but if you subdue one gate a week right now, you will be able to finish in first place with ease.”

This time, even the public figure did not object.

Because it’s so obvious.

“So I am asking. Are you going to work hard and stay at number 1 for just one week, or… . Are you really willing to die and finish the season in first place?”

“… It’s only natural to want to finish the season in first place.”

Gong Gong-na was hoping for 1st place,

I opened my mouth leisurely, thinking that the persuasion was virtually over.

“Then you can stop being stubborn and follow the front desk.”

“… what?”

“It’s the same with producer Lim Sang-seop who is here right now. The person who has been leading Black Rose for nearly 10 years has been asking me for help, bending even my pride to make it number one somehow.”

A producer is a coach in sports.

It is not easy for a manager who originally led a team to get help from another manager.

“The producer also judged that this schedule was unreasonable, and the front desk assistant to the producer also judged that the schedule was unreasonable. Isn’t that right?”

“… That’s right, but… .”

Having obtained Lim Dae-seop’s consent, I glanced at Gong Gong-na and threw out a single word.

“That’s right.”

By the way… .

“… Then what?”

Gong Gong-na clenched her fists as if resentful, and shot sharp eyes.

“The opportunity has come right in front of me, are you just holding on? How can you do that!”

She seemed to be really longing for number one.

Although she was already leading the second-place team, which is difficult to surpass, in the S-Rank Hunter, which is equivalent to 0.1%, it seems that she has not yet given up her greed for ‘normality’.

“If it’s not this time, I may not be able to win first place for the rest of my life! anything… , I don’t have to do anything… !”

So is it?

The figure of Gong Gong-na, longing only for the top… .

It felt so dazzling in my eyes.

“So that’s why I came. To send the Black Rose number one.”

“excuse me… !”

“and. I think you misunderstood something… , I didn’t tell you to give up the 1st place. I told you to change your schedule.”

“… !”

Ignoring Lee Hye-ri, who stifled a chuckle, I declared proudly as I looked at Gong-gong-na, who was stabbed and stared blankly.

“I will definitely make it number one.”

“… that, that… .”

Gonggong-na and Lim-seop showed an unbelievable reaction and looked at them,

I smiled shyly and lightly spoke to the two of them.

“Are you going to continue the meeting?”
