VACATION [2]

Regression User Manual Episode 884

Vacation (2)

- I'm not saying we should do something big just because it's a vacation. Let's

just go on a date or something, oppa. We've been through a lot in the past few years. We're going to be busy again anyway... When will we have another chance like this? We'll have to hold another event in a few years if we think about it... We need to plan Bellial's move and schedule a planning meeting too...

-Because of the planning proposal Bell Isa presented, the understanding between us is already diverging. On the Benigore side...

"I want to minimize the damage. There's a job to do."

-It's a matter of growth direction. The Benigore side wants to minimize the damage because the continent is not stable enough... and Bellial seems to think it's enough. Bellial believes that in order to grow faster, we need to attract as many believers as possible... the proposal is not bad when you look at it. I understand both sides... we'll have to adjust our opinions for the next few years... If we think about it, this may be our only chance.

"You're right, noona, definitely..."

-It's not just about having fun. Since we're going there anyway, let's think of it as a way to experience what it's like for common adventurers. You went to experience life as a commoner last time, right? Let's think of it as something like that this time.

"We're trying to see how many continentals or regular adventurers there are, right? We're already doing that. We're operating a psychological counseling center and we have samples submitted by Black Swan, right?"

-Of course, we have samples, but there's a difference between feeling it with your skin and just having a sample... How many people will check the box that says they have their own mental illness? Adventurers are particularly sensitive to that kind of thing.

"Oh, this noona..."

Why does she always say things that make so much sense?

"Black Swan is so clumsy in delivering its message. It's a privilege to be able to enjoy a new life in a new place even for a short time... since the federal side suffered the most damage, wouldn't it be a good idea to visit that area Register with the Adventurers Guild... explore the dungeon once. Come up with a concept... and enjoy yourself while walking around. Eat lots of delicious food."

Belial, Benigore, and both sides are tuning for the next event, and we need to know what the continents are going through right now.

Thinking of going out on this occasion...

'I think it'll be fine.'

Above all, I must keep my promise. I had a deal with noona.

I didn't try to avoid it, but I think guarding it wouldn't be so bad if the timing came out.

Credibility is life, even if I break it once you and I are separated.

"But isn't that going to be a vacation?"

As I spoke with her on the phone, I couldn't help but think about what I should say to the kids.

- "I'm just going to work for a while and come back."

That's all I have to say. We could always tell them later.

-Two people who can't communicate are the problem. I think I might be able to do something about the situation on Jung Ha-Yan's side...

"How?"

"I'll have to find a way. But...

"Kim Hyun-sung is the problem, right?"

-Well, Oppa will have to try to do something about him. We can't secretly escape in this situation.

The voice continued to be heard. I slowly went outside, and people who greeted me came into view. I nodded my heads and greeted them back.

It's a familiar scene of the guild house. As I sat on the terrace and quietly sip my coffee, I habitually raise the goddess's hand mirror.

-Our destination is the federation. I'll decide on the specific location. The concept is this. I'll be a naive nobleman's son, no, let's make it a powerful guild or a powerful family's son. A very arrogant and ignorant guy who thinks he's better than he is. Oppa will be a servant in our family who owes a debt.

"Do we need to plan out the details?"

-Just to be sure.

It would be better to look for requests that simple monsters hunting, or intermediate adventurers can do rather than things that are too difficult.

'There's goblin hunting, kobold dungeons, etc....'

But is that too easy? Since the overall level of adventurers has risen, it would be better to receive requests of at least rare grade instead of just normal grade...

-I'll arm myself with this item. Even a beginner can tell. It's the kind of thing with good item stats, typical trash that parents trust and install. They like to show off and like expensive things...

"Why do you like that kind of thing?"

-Do I need a reason? It just seems fun. I need to quickly establish a decent status. I'll send you my character sheet, check it out."

[Lee Kiyeon]

[The life of a normal adventurer began to fall apart after she met Lee Ji-hoo by chance. She, who caught the eye of the independent Lee Ji-hu from a large guild (guild name undecided, clan name undecided), Eventually, burdened with a huge debt, she continues to live a painful life every day. However, without even realizing it herself, she starts to develop feelings for Lee Ji-hoo... She remembers Kim Hyun-seong, whom she met in the Crack Land, but ultimately, she succumbs to Lee Ji-hoo, body and soul...]

"Oh...what is this? Nuna, it's too provocative."

-But I told you we're just playing around. It has to be provocative to be fun. Don't we need stimulation between us too? We have to enjoy ourselves together for a long time to come, and this kind of thing helps overcome boredom. Are we going to do something like role-playing for nothing? And it's a contract, isn't it?

"Right, it's a contract."

-Since it's just roughly drawn up, I'll send you the details and the action plan when they're decided. You take care of Kim Hyun-sung, okay? It shouldn't be too difficult."

There was a sound of a hang-up.

"This nuna really made up her mind."

"I knew she was looking forward to it, but I never expected her to be so determined and prepared.

'This wasn't made in a day,'

The contents of the densely written text are not even adequately described as a document. I can feel how stressed Jihye has been all this time, and it's almost crazy to see it.

Maybe she spent all her time at work thinking about it, like office workers who live with the idea of taking a vacation and going abroad. Otherwise, such a volume couldn't have been produced.

Even the speech habits and newly acquired habits, as well as the influence of meeting Lee Ji-hoo, were so surprising that my mouth was gaping.

Although I don't really want to, it would be a good thing for Jihye to recharge if this is a chance for her. And of course, the problem is Kim Hyun-sung. Who else could it be?

I heard someone say

"Ki-young!"

As I looked down quietly, I caught sight of a guy waving his arms. His appearance hadn't changed much from before, except for his hair length. Unlike before, when it was left unorganized, it was neatly arranged. It even seemed a bit shorter. Maybe it was because I had said that his hair was too long.

Overall, his face supported it all, making it seem like he could handle anything, but it was still better than him being messy.

'No, it had its own charm.'

A feeling like an untamed wolf. But now he's unemployed. At least he should look clean on the outside.

"Kiyoung!"

There was something heavy in both hands waving again. It seems that he went to an auction again even though he said he didn't.

"Did you finish the Thronus education?"

"I will go up now."

"Wait, damn it, did you finish the training well?"

The pure and innocent appearance without any trace of suspicion is different from before. After everything was over, Kim Hyun-sung definitely changed. Although there were various factors, what was most decisive was throwing away the heavy burden.

He picked up the pieces of the first failure and tied them together in the second round. Nothing can make him happier than knowing that he has no reason to regress. It may not be very fitting, but Kim Hyun-sung may be in a period of finding himself.

After the first round where he had to survive, and the second round where he had to solve the burden given to him, he must now be thinking about what kind of life he should live and what goals he should pursue.

Although he seemed to want a normal life, he knew better than anyone else that he could not be ordinary... In fact, there was nothing he could achieve. He was the guild master of the most successful guild, and, in terms of strength, he was one of the strongest in the game.

He has lost the desire to achieve something with his own hands. At best, he only hopes for his brother's peace of mind. The armor he used to wear every day has been stored in Kim Hyun-sung's personal warehouse for a long time, and it is not even necessary.

Even if he just carries a sword, there is nothing threatening enough to Kim Hyun-sung. He wears ordinary and comfortable clothes instead of heavy clothing...

"How was your day today?"

They also stuck to him more than necessary.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"I found a nice restaurant. Shall we go out together?"

"I want to eat here today."

"If there's anything you want to eat..."

"... ..."

"... ..."

"Phew...". I started with a sigh.

It felt like Kim Hyun-sung's expression was a little awkward, as if something had gone wrong, even though I haven't been thinking about anything in particular.

If you're human, you're probably feeling it instinctively. You may feel that something is different from usual. You might feel uneasy or have something on your mind, or maybe you're recalling something you did wrong. Angel Kiyoung, who always smiled and greeted warmly, is nowhere to be seen. Instead, there is someone who gives you a cold stare and doesn't embrace everything you do.

"Kiyoung, today at the auction house, I acquired an extremely rare item. It's not the Chanelia Hermes that you were waiting for, but it's a Louis Vuitton crafted by a leather artisan...."

"...."

"I'm sorry. It seems like there's not much merchandise available these days..."

'I'm going crazy.'

I guess he thinks that I'm showing this kind of behavior because there hasn't been much merchandise lately, but it's probably not the case. But it seems like he thinks that way. I'm sure. Damn.

"Huu..."

"..."

A single sigh shakes the pupil.

"Oh, and about the educational issues with Thronus that we just talked about..."

"Yes."

"It seems to be growing smoothly. It's a bit regrettable to say that his talent is outstanding, but... he's still on the path that you want, Ki-young."

"..."

"..."

"Haah...."

At this point, anyone could tell. No, he had already noticed earlier.

The buildup only goes up to this point. Regardless of what happens next, I had to speak up.

I spoke in a slightly cold tone.

"Hyeon-seong, how long has it been since you contributed to the guild?"

'Why? You...shit...Why aren't you working?"

I held back as much as I could, but exploded like a person who had been holding it in for too long, and hit the bag that was lying on the table with a loud thud.

The leather bag in my hand fell to the floor with a thud. For some reason, it felt like it fell dramatically.

"What did you buy this bag with?"

"You have no money?"

'Isn't this too much!?'

"Isn't what you're doing too much!?"

A small mutter that was too quiet to hear.

"I'm sick of this."

It was a small voice, but it would feel like it was echoing throughout the entire guild.
