Chapter 142- The guild

"Done with the discussion?" As Jin-Woo and Haru entered the living area, Jinah asked after she removed her eyes from the picture that Hae-In was showing her.

"Hmm...what are you two doing?" Haru asked as he sat beside Jinah, before the latter answered, "Unnie is showing me her pictures of kendo tournaments. She has won over eight medals in kenjutsu."

Haru raised his brows before praising the blond, "That's admirable Miss Cha."

Jinah blinked before frowning, and before Cha Hae-In could respond, Jinah interrupted, "Hey, why are you both so distant from each other? Shouldn't you already drop the formalities?"

"Agreed. It feels like you both are maintaining work etiquette until now." Jin-Woo supported his sister since his girlfriend also sounded a little too stiff with Haru.

"Well, I am cool with it. I just thought Miss Cha was not comfortable so I continued the formal method."

"No, it's not a problem. Then, shall I call you Haruka?"

Haru shook his head, "Just Haru is fine. I don't much like being called Haruka...Hae-In-ssi."

"Yeah, now that's what I call happy family greetings." Jinah rejoiced as she leaned herself on Haru.

Haru grinned at the girl and found his decision to bring her here to be correct.

Suddenly Jin-Woo realized something before he asked, "You have told Mom and Dad that you are visiting Korea right?"

Jinah nodded, "Yep. They even wanted to come to the graduation ceremony but I insisted they stay back in Japan."

The Sung couple has been staying in Japan for the past few days; ever since Haru woke up. They were getting along with the Nanase couple well and their common interest of adoration—Riko was also there with them.

"I heard that they are planning to go Hawaii," Haru added which didn't surprise Jin-Woo given how close they had become.

"Umm...Haru, are you going to the Hunter Association anytime soon?" Hae-In sounded a little hesitant but she called him by his name in the end.

Haru hummed a bit before responding, "I will go there tomorrow. The Chairman is really patient with me but I don't want to test his limits."

Although Haru is a native Japanese, he registered as a hunter under the Korean Association, yet, even though he disclosed his recovery about a week ago, he hasn't gone to the Association even once.

Well, considering that almost every dungeon is now under the radar of Jin-Woo, there was no urgency for Haru to rejoin immediately.

"Great. I will inform Mr. Cho about it. He is eager to meet you as well." Haru chuckled hearing Hae-In's words before he asked,

"Is he still trying to recruit me?"

Hae-In looked slightly embarrassed before she assented, "Yes...and not only him the other four major guilds are still thinking of recruiting you."

Haru raised his left brow at that before turning toward his senior, "What about you, Sunbae? Joined any guild?"

"Haru, you don't know about it?" Jinah asked to which Haru shook his head.

Jin-Woo sighed and informed him, "I started my own clan and have only recruited two people as staff."

Suddenly Haru was reminded of that idea as he asked, "The Solo Play Guild?"

"Pfft- what a lame name." That short laugh from Jinah and the chuckle from Hae-In made Jin-Woo embarrassed.

What was wrong with the Solo-play guild?

Well, since everyone was making fun of it, Jin-Woo decided to not advocate about it,

"The name is Ahjin guild."

"I gave him the idea. It's derived from my name." She proudly announced.

Haru softly ruffled her hair playfully, earning some soft giggles from the girl.

"Then, how about I also join, Sunbae? Is there any vacancy for a newbie hunter?"

Haru asked since having affiliation with a guild felt he would allow the other Guild Masters to take a rest and stop bothering about getting Haru recruited into their guilds.

Jin-Woo was about to give an affirmative response when suddenly he heard his phone buzzing.

[My liege.]

Beru appeared in the living area carrying a Jin-Woo phone, which was in the bedroom.

"Hey, Beru. Long time no see." Haru greeted the ant king who was still respectfully bowing to its master.

The shadow slave turned towards Haru before giving another polite bow,

[It's very pleasant to see you in good health, Sire.]

Haru chuckled hearing that tone, "Are you watching medieval dramas these days?"

It wasn't evident but from its changed demeanour, one could tell that Beru was sweating profusely at the moment while glancing at its master.

Jinah and Hae-In chuckled at the display, meanwhile, Jin-Woo only heaved a long sigh and shook his head lightly.

"Hello, Jin-Ho?" As Beru disappeared in Jin-Woo's shadow, the latter picked the call of his vice-guild master.

[Hyung-nim...there is someone who came looking for you and Hunter Nanase.]

Jin-Woo furrows before asking, "Who are they?"

Jin-Ho's voice contained a little nervousness as he responded,

[The Chairman of the Hunter Association and the surveillance chief, Woo Jin-Chul.]

Jin-Woo was surprised to hear that. He was just talking about them with the others and surprisingly they visited his guild office.

'Might be something about Haru....' It didn't take long for Jin-Woo to reach that conclusion before he told Jin-Ho,

"We will be there in a minute. Until then, arrange some tea and snacks for them."

[On it!]

As the phone disconnected, Jin-Woo found three curious pairs of eyes looking at him.

"It's Chairman Go Gun-Hee. He came to meet me and you at the guild's main office." Jin-Woo said while keeping his eyes on Haru.

The latter wasn't surprised since he was expecting this meeting...but for the old man to visit them in person?

'If I am not wrong then the International Conference should be taking place in some days....' Haru muttered inwardly. Maybe this sudden visit was about that?

Regardless, as Jin-Woo promised they didn't make the Chairman wait for long and after leaving the two ladies to chat, Jin-Woo and Haru disappeared from the apartment.
