Encounter (5)

After a while.

Time to meet together before training as usual.

“The pre-debut date has been set.”

“… Burr, already… !?”

“Really? ?”

When the news of the debut was announced, the members were startled and startled… .

Jin Seo-won was the only one who did not show any reaction.

“The date is right after the Black Rose subjugation. So, you have about three weeks left.”

“Three weeks… .”

“F, Producer… ! So what kind of gate will we challenge?!”

Hanna Bang has shown interest in types of gates more than anything else.

He seemed a little nervous, because it was the first gate subjugation, so he seemed very nervous.

“The place we will challenge this time is A-011, ‘Gwanaksan Gate’.”

“yes? If it’s Gwanaksan Gate… .”

“… Stand, no doubt, that wind gate… ?”

“… … ?”

Kim Na-rae and Bang Han-na, who are suspicious of their ears and react hard to believe.

Only Jin Seo-won, who had no interest in the gate, responded that he did not understand English… .

I inadvertently raised the corners of my lips at the reactions of members like Han Gyuri and Kim Junhyung.

‘Yeah, this should be enough.’

I want to make Team Seoul City a controversial team that rivals Queens.

Not in a bad sense of controversy, but in a good sense.

Queens was a big topic even before their debut.

During his academy days, he broke all of the national academy tournaments held every year in team and individual matches, and in friendly matches against established teams, he increased his fame by ignoring the weight class difference and breaking the dojo.

The Cheonhwa Guild, which competed with Sejin Guild every year to recruit prospects, won the Queens contract and said that it paid for 10 years’ worth of victories at once.

Using that experience, I wanted to publicize the team Seoul City Hall to the world.

So I chose ‘Gwanaksan Gate’.

It was a B-class gate.

“Gwanaksan Gate is the easiest gate among B-class gates. It’s only a high grade, but it’s practically a C-grade gate. So you don’t have to worry too much.”

I worked hard to encourage the members, saying that it would be better than I thought.

“… uh… .”

“It’s still B-class… .”

However, the two seemed to have already lost their spirits, feeling intimidated by the famous gate.

B-class gates are a class belonging to the upper-class gates.

No matter how much skill they have improved, officially, the team consists of two D-class and one F-class, so it was a natural reaction to feel that the B-class gate felt heavy.

However… .

It’s impossible to take that burden for granted forever.

“Yours… Aren’t you too scared?”

I gently crossed my arms and continued speaking while looking at the team members.

“Our goal is to be in the top 30 before the point reset. In the future, B-class gates will come and go like a meal, but what are you going to do if this is already the case?”

“If it’s 30… . Part 3… ?”

“Is that possible… ?”

To be honest, it’s close to impossible.

Three weeks from now, there are about 60 days left until the team point reset date.

The minimum point cut for the 3rd division is 400,000, so you must defeat the B-class gates every day for 60 days to become a 3rd division team.

In other words, it is physically impossible.

But.

I think this kind of goal is necessary.

Because that’s how you can turn off the so-called ‘aggro’.

“… Guys. Let me ask you one thing. What do you think is the most important thing to be successful as a hunter team?”

“success… . It’s also a skill.”

“… money?”

“Is it a rank? ?”

I turned my gaze away from the members and turned the question to Han Gyu-ri and Kim Jun-hyung, who were quietly watching from the side.

“Are you two?”

“Experience!”

“It’s also a skill.”

The team members gave various plausible opinions, but unfortunately there was no correct answer among them.

“Everyone gave good comments… . The real answer is ‘Star Star’.”

“Star… ?”

Stardom is usually used as a word to mean the possibility of gaining a lot of popularity from the public.

I think that stardom determines the success of the Hunter team.

“You have to be popular to make a lot of money. We’re doing this to make a living, aren’t we just trying to beat the monster?”

“… !”

This is a fundamental problem.

What we do is ‘work’ to make money, not ‘charity’ to donate talent.

“Let’s take a simple example.”

I scribbled my pen on the electronic blackboard behind me, giving examples.

“Team Valhalla or Team Lemon Candy, which one makes more money?”

Here, the men’s team Valhalla is currently in 7th place.

Lemon Candy is the 16th female team famous for their outstanding looks.

“Well… .”

“Well… .”

“Isn’t it Valhalla with a high ranking? ?”

“But they say that lemon candy makes a lot of money… .”

Even though the team members cited teams with marked differences in ranking as an example, they could not easily give an answer.

What I’m trying to say has already come out.

“The correct answer is Valhalla. The difference between Part 1 and Part 2 cannot be easily bridged. However… . The difference in total sales between the two is only a few billions. Do you understand what I mean?”

““!””

In conclusion… .

Part 1 or Part 2 means that the one who makes the most money is the best.

“then… .Let’s talk again.”

I put my pen down as if to be honest, and looked back at the team members who were standing blankly.

“How can I make a lot of money?”

And then the plans for the future… .

He explained step by step how to become a star.

*

that afternoon.

I stopped by the mart with Bang Han-na and Jin Seo-won, who had started the camp, and I was shopping for dinner with the two of them.

“Has Hannah been hiding anything?”

“No!”

“Then shall we buy some sashimi?”

“oh. I like it!”

While Jin Seo-won went to pick up snacks, I was looking around the seafood section with Han-na Bang… .

“Because Seo-won doesn’t eat sashimi… , would it be enough for one pack?”

“uh… . I will… Shall… ?”

As I recited Jin Seo-won’s taste without thinking much, I wanted to miss Han-na’s subtle reaction for a moment, and I quietly turned my head and glanced at her.

“… … .”

She had her eyes narrowed and looked as if she knew how.

I was nervous for nothing and swallowed my saliva—naturally, averted my gaze, put a pack of sashimi into the cart, and secretly changed the topic.

“Hey, would you like some meat?”

So naturally, he turns the cart and tries to head to the meat corner opposite.

“Uh… .”

Hanna Bang, who was walking side by side while walking, implicitly asked a question.

“What kind of meat does Seo-won like? ?”

It was a guiding newspaper.

“… Wouldn’t you like all meat? What kind of meat do you like?”

“I… , all good.”

“okay?”

I cleverly evaded the interrogation and arrived at the meat corner, leaving behind Hanna Bang’s subtle gaze, starting to choose the kind of meat that Seowon Jin liked.

‘Because Seowon likes seasoned meat… .’

at that time.

“uh… . Seo Won-ah. buy them all… ?”

“… yes.”

Seo-won Jin and Han-na Bang, who came back after choosing snacks, started arguing over snacks.

“It’s all very sweet. not too many… ?”

“… … not really?”

“Did you just delay?”

“… Not many.”

“No, too many. Let’s take this a little bit.”

“… We can eat together.”

“I don’t eat that much.”

“… why?”

A child looking for similar snacks and a mother looking at Tyr.

‘cute.’

As I watched the scene, I decided to take Han-na’s side and added a small word.

“There is too much chocolate.”

“… !”

Then, as if Jin Seo-won felt betrayed, he looked at me with a disappointed expression,

Hanna Bang secretly picked out more than half of the snacks and teased Jinseowon… .

“Seo Won-ah. Buy fruit instead of our chocolate. Fruit is sweet and delicious!”

“… fruit?”

“yes! Looking at it earlier, strawberries and cherries also looked delicious. What do you think?”

I quietly exclaimed in admiration at Hanna Bang, who was unexpectedly proud of her maternal love.

‘Are you used to handling children?’

Of course, Jin Seo-won was not a child, but compared to Bang Han-na, there was no awkwardness in calling her a child.

“Then, shall we do as Hannah said today?”

I secretly teased Jinseowon with the intention of giving Hanna Bang strength.

“Today, buy some chocolate and some fruit. Are you fine?”

“… … .”

Then, Jin Seo-won looked at me as if resentful, and soon nodded slowly, looking at the snacks in the cart with regretful eyes.

“Thought well!”

As if to wait, Hanna left a small amount of snacks, took it out, and said brightly that she would bring it back.

“I’m fine with anything, so you two are choosing the meat!”

“okay. I’m going to be looking at the vegetables, so come over there.”

“Yep… !”

In the meantime, Seo-won Jin was looking at the snacks in Han-na Bang’s arms vaguely… .

“… … .”

It looked so cute, so she gave Hanna a piece of chocolate without her knowledge.

*

“I’ll be making dinner, so both of you get dressed and go out.”

“Yep… !”

“… yes.”

Arriving at the dormitory after many twists and turns, I pushed the two of them into the room and started making dinner.

“Let’s see… . what to do… .”

The two people’s dormitory had the same structure as the house I lived in, with two rooms and one large living room.

Of course, as it was a house for girls, the furniture and interior were different, so it wasn’t exactly the same feeling, but it was strangely familiar even though it was a different house.

“Producer! I’m out! What can I do for you?”

“Did you come quickly? Then can you put a plate on it?”

“Yep… !”

“… What are you doing?”

“The seowon has also come. Well… . Unpack the thing next to me.”

“… This one?”

“yes.”

Thanks to the three of us having it together, dinner preparation was finished in the blink of an eye,

“I will enjoy this food!”

“… I will enjoy this food.”

We all sat around the table and started eating together.

“Seo Won-ah. Eat this together. It’s really delicious!”

“… It’s a vegetable.”

“It’s really delicious to eat together… . No, don’t pick it.”

“… You eat a lot.”

Usually, when I ate with Jinseowon, I could only hear the rattle, but when Hanna Bang was with me, I felt the atmosphere brighter.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve done this.’

One day, it was like seeing the days when I was with the three of Queens, so the feeling was new.

“Producer! Eat some of this too!”

“Ah, thank you. It’s okay if you don’t take care of me… .”

“He even made dinner by himself, so I have to do this!”

“… No matter how I think about it, I think Hannah will be a really good mother.”

“Uh, Mom… ?”

It was then when we continued to eat dinner while having such a fun time.

Woo-Woo-Woo-Woah-

The phone I had in my pocket started to vibrate briefly.

‘Who is it?’

Putting down my chopsticks, I immediately took out my phone and checked the message.

“… … .”

“Why?”

“… ?”

“… uh? Nope. just. I think it’s a spam text. … Let’s eat.”

I hurriedly overshadowed the interest of the two, put the cell phone in, and mechanically moved the chopsticks, falling into deep trouble.

[ A Yura: The kit has arrived. ]

[ A Yura: I’ll tell the kids. ]

It was a message from Yura Hong.
