VACATION [3]

Regressor Instruction Manual Episode 885

Vacation (3)

"I'm sick of it."

It was an awkward and untimely situation that anyone could see. It was the moment when Light Ki-Young turned into Doom Ki-Young overnight. Surely, just yesterday, he was smiling with a friendly face, wasn't he?

I remembers that I had an excessive reaction to the useless gift the guy brought and thanked him profusely. There had been no problems between me and Kim Hyun-sung lately, and if I had to choose, I would say we were on good terms. That's why I could understand the guy's expression of disbelief as he looked at me. I had even thrown the bag he had bought as a gift, which was definitely not something that should have happened.

It was a bit forced, but as always, the person who gets angry or cries first wins. Even if he hadn't done anything wrong, if the other person reacted like this, he had to reflect on his actions.

What did I do wrong? What did I mess up? Why am I in a bad mood today? What's going on?

A moment of silence filled the room. It felt like a very long time for the word "annoying" to pass through Kim Hyun-sung's ears and into his mind.

As always, there was only one reaction that the guy could show.

"I'm sorry."

The sentence I had already anticipated.

"What are you sorry for? What exactly are you sorry for?"

Kim Hyun-sung's 18th word came out without passing through his brain.

'You have to strike like lightning.'

I have to push with an emotional attitude without giving him time to think deeply. That's the basics of negotiation.

"Please tell me exactly what you're sorry for. Yes? Let's hear it."

"Ki-young..."

"It's always like this. I hope you fix your habit of apologizing first. Sincerely."

"Ah..."

"I know you're not sorry."

"No, really, I'm sorry. I..."

Once again, a small apology.

"I'm sick and tired of this. Really."

Why do you look like that?

"It's fine. I wish you could leave now."

'Noona, am I doing well? This is the right thing, right?

It may seem necessary to cut off the conversation in a mean way, as if the story ends here, but the guy probably won't leave.

Are you really leaving? Go ahead, if you leave, it's over.

As expected, regardless of what happened, he must realize his mistakes, and it seems that he believed he need to buy time for that.

The guy with shaking eyes and tightly closed lips doesn't seem to understand why Ki-Young is angry to this extent.

'Honestly, I'm not exactly comfortable either...'

Wasn't it Kim Hyeon Seong who suffered for decades? Doing what you want for a year won't change anything. Rather... taking a break might be better. When I think about what Kim Hyeon Seong has gone through so far, a year might not be enough.

A little method might be... still, you're happy. It was wrong, but it's a bit pathetic that i can't do anything about it. Still, this much impact should give us some time, shouldn't it? If we had talked about it in an ordinary way while trying to push it away, the conversation might not have happened at all.

As expected, the sight of him not being able to go outside is reflected in the view. I thought it would be better to push a little more, but...

'Okay. Let's stop here. We seem to be in a good enough conversation state.'

Honestly, if it was just playing around, it wouldn't matter, but you were playing around enough to affect the guild's finances. At some point, we should have stopped it. This is just the right timing. We have to work with Nuna too...

"Huu..."

"Sorry... Ki-Young-ssi."

"Sigh..."

"I..."

"No, I think I was a bit harsh with my words earlier."

"What do you mean?"

"I've been under a lot of stress lately, and I think I've become more sensitive than usual. I'm not normally like this, but I have a lot of things to worry about..."

"..."

After discreetly picking up the bag, I said,

"It's okay. I like it."

The atmosphere was still tense, but it felt a bit more relaxed than before. I nodded as if to say it was okay to sit down, and Kim Hyun-Seong took his seat again.

"But I hope nothing like this happens again."

"Yes...?"

"You might not know this, but the Blue Guild has a few projects in the works. Most of them are for novice adventurers or marginalized groups, but the situation is difficult. The funds invested in the free counseling center conflict with the plans for the Lindel city, and..."

"I see..."

"We're managing to hold on with the pension workshop and weapons business, but we have to save as much as possible in this situation."

Actually, that wasn't entirely true. The profits from the Warp points were considerable. But Kim Hyun-Seong probably wasn't aware of the Blue Guild's financial situation and wouldn't have looked into it.

"I don't want to stop Hyun-seong from doing what he wants to do. We don't want to delay welfare, but we think it's an urgent situation for the business...

"Uh... I'm sorry."

"I understand... yes."

"I'm sorry to say this, but the amount of money Hyun-Seong-ssi uses for personal expenses, including Hyusung's maintenance' fund, is not a small amount... Yes, Hyusung's maintenance' fund."

"..."

There were no words to express how unbelievable it was that one person's personal expenses could use up the annual budget of a clan or guild.

Pushing the fake financial status of the Blue Guild and explaining it in more detail would allow for a better position to lead the conversation, but it's not necessary. Nonetheless, the face of the guy who's shaking is noticeable.

This guy doesn't have a basic concept of money. Although we didn't talk much about the Earth, he was probably not a golden spoon.

"I...I...so..."

"Of course, I think Hyun-Seong deserves such treatment. I hope you enjoyed this place even more. But sometimes, I want to see you in armor going out to work. It's been a year already..."

You should decide what to do next. You can't just keep playing and eating like this.

Are you going to live like this for the next few hundred years? Ki-young is human too. A human being.

"I'm worried about many things."

I'm afraid you'll really become unemployed. Aren't you sticking with your straw as a sign of your fear? Haven't you heard that Ki-young told you not to look at the incompetent guy? You're in a tug-of-war right now.

"I understand what you're saying. Yes..."

"I have a small favor to ask..."

"Yes. Whatever it is, I'll do my best."

"I hope you'll visit the Republic."

"..."

"The Blue Guild's branch is scheduled to be established there. It may be difficult to provide a lot of support, but it's something we must do. I hope to see the old Hyun-Seong again, who joined the guild and raised it as it is now."

Since there will be no support, go there alone and try to build it yourself while building your power and going through dungeons. You know what I mean, right?

Passing on some passion, like when you were a beginner adventurer, instead of just playing and eating without any meaning.

As much as he was the Blue Guild Master, I wanted to push him with big things, but I couldn't put a guy who had no sense of the situation on the front line right away.

it was judged that it would be convenient to create it in the republic. Anyway, since the blue guild republic branch was meant to be symbolic, it doesn't matter if it fails or succeeds. Besides, if Hyun-Seong himself establishes it, the symbolism will be even higher, so there's no reason to send him elsewhere...

"We also need to change a little. Hyun-Seong and I can't stay still forever. I think you'll understand what I'm talking about."

"Yes. I understand. But..."

'Sigh... this guy is getting on my nerves. I'm going to get PTSD.'

"If you say so, I'll follow your lead, Ki-Young."

I didn't want to be the guy who got on their nerves, so I quickly changed my attitude, and it seemed easier than I had expected.

"But I'm really worried about Ki-Young's safety."

"Well, there are other people in the guild, and it's not like it'll be years away. Plus, I can notify everyone right away if I'm in real danger. We're still connected."

As I spoke, I brushed my bangs to the side, and the other Kim Hyunsung nodded his head, probably checking his eyes. He looked pleased, knowing that Ki-Young liked hearing these things. It seemed like a suitable line to end the conversation.

"Come to think of it, I think I've been disappointing so far. I feel like I've become lazy."

"That's not true."

"Not only that... you couldn't trust me, could you?"

"It's not like that, but..."

"I'll make sure you can accept it happily, Ki-Young."

Although it felt like he was doing it reluctantly, he was still willing to do it.

From now on, things will move quickly.

"Would you like to have a meal together?"

"Yes."

We'll eat and then stop by a store for a moment and take a walk.

"That looks nice."

We'll meet up with other guild members and have some wine....

"So, Hyun-seong, is it true that you're going on a business trip to the Republic? With whom?"

"There probably won't be much support from the guild...maybe..."

"I'll come with you."

"If it's Sun Hee-Young, then I'll feel relieved. Oh, since things turned out this way, it would be good to bring in a new member as well."

"Me too?"

"If you have any plans to go to a dungeon or go hunting...real-life training is important."

In the morning...

"As expected, Hyun-seong looks good in that outfit."

After praising Kim Hyun-Seong for wearing armor after a long time.

"Then, I'll be off."

After that...

And...

And...

"Tell me. Nuna, if you want to hear it directly from my mouth. What Nuna wants, please ask me directly."

Shibal. [Shit]

"This is Jihoon... Doryeon-nim." [Young master.]

We set foot in the federation.
