area declaration

Returnee Management Team.

The main task is to identify the trends and tendencies of returnees.

A place where illegal wiretapping and surveillance are also available when necessary.

It's been a while since I had a big job.

A returnee presumed to be from the 4th planet.

Park Soo-ho received an out-of-class rating.

It was still in the verification period.

I had a good conversation with Park Soo-ho, the returnee himself.

In exchange for establishing a guild, I decided to stay in Seoul until the portal opened.

The Korean government bought a lottery ticket that was not scratched.

Now all you have to do is hit the jackpot.

But there is a problem.

Park Soo-ho entered a level 5 dungeon due to an accident, and the lottery ticket was thrown into the trash before he could even scratch it. The government put pressure on the guild by holding it accountable, and for this, Park Soo-ho's information was released without filtration to the media.

"Who opened this?"

A heavy silence fell in the left at Choi Soo-young's deep voice.

"Hmmmm, this is a place to come up with countermeasures, not a place to ask for responsibility."

Choi Soo-young smiled bitterly at the words of the director who coughed in vain.

"Hey, this has become really difficult because I came back alive without noticing it. right?"

"Uh-huh, Chief Choi."

It is irresistible.

There is no way to support a raid that has already entered the dungeon from the outside.

No one predicted that the dungeon would be cleared.

"It's my fault. I sincerely apologize."

The director of management is a position to be held responsible, not a position to avoid.

As the head of his father's head bowed, Choi Soo-young pouted his mouth.

That's Okay. We talk about work."

Choi Soo-young herself did not think that she would be able to live.

"Chief Kim. Let me brief you on the current situation."

A task force team hastily formed due to Park Soo-ho's problem.

Kim Mi-so posted two photos on the screen.

"Who are you?"

"Tokyo Awakened Association Vice President Nakamura, one is a Russian KGB agent."

"It's overkill."

Cursing came out of the chief's mouth at once.

Seong-woo Lee, who is currently ranked number 1 in the world, was also seduced by Nakamura and taken to Japan.

"I confirmed that I entered the country through the Busan portal."

"The scoundrels are crazy again."

The Japanese side more actively covet Park Soo-ho.

"Actually, I think the American side is more dangerous."

"Why there?"

"There is nothing on our side."

If you are a high-level awakening, the US scouting with your eyes lit cannot leave Park Soo-ho alone. They will definitely come in contact with you secretly.

Even without the peculiarity of being a returnee, he is a very coveted regular.

It's an F grade on my profile, but I have the fighting power to clear the 5th level dungeon.

Everyone became aware of the existence of the lottery ticket that he was holding in his hand.

The serious thing is that the lottery can go anywhere on my own feet.

"A contract?"

"It really doesn't make any sense."

If you don't want to keep it, you're just a piece of paper.

You cannot be detained by force.

The antipathy only grows, and he looks like Lee Seong-woo.

"I have to make a more attractive offer."

The chief looked around the people.

There were also outsiders in the task force team that was rushed to solve the Park Soo-ho problem.

The director's gaze stopped at Dr. Kim Jeong-guk.

A doctor who gave psychological counseling to Park Soo-ho.

"Doctor. What would he want?"

"Ugh."

Kim Jung-guk, who was present at the request of the management office, could not calm his trembling body.

His detailed adventures were not fictional stories created by schizophrenia.

The history and ability he showed was proof of that.

"There is nothing the government can give."

Yes?

"And he won't even leave Korea."

The director was interested in what he wanted to hear.

Why is the doctor so confident?

"Why?"

"If he wants anything, he will get it for himself."

Because he lived as the king of the forest.

"He missed civilization. No, I was lonely. I will say under the assumption that all of his consultations are true. Can you imagine? Are you confident that you will be alone for a thousand years?"

would have been lonely He returned to Korea, where he was born and raised. Do you want to go to an unfamiliar place again?

"My family is also in Korea. I will not leave."

"If you make a radical proposal to bring all the family together, wouldn't he be shaken?"

The doctor shook his head.

"Wealth will not be his concern. Rather, a home, a family ."

At the time of the consultation, Suho used the terms domain and unreasonable.

A concept more like a wild beast than a civilized person.

"You put up a guild as a condition? please give it to me. Acknowledge his realm and do not try to touch it."

He referred to himself as an older doctor as a friend.

He said it was the first time he had had a deep conversation.

"Be friends. Hunt together, share the loot, eat together, and share. Then he will not be hostile to the government."

"Ugh."

The chief frowned.

What human is so simple?

But Choi Soo-young felt like the fog in his head was clearing. His actions made some sense.

"The story is over."

Where?

"I have to go to work."

I need her sensing ability.

Because you never know when a portal will open near Park Soo-ho.

Kim Mi-so caught her.

"You need to rest."

Where is the kid who just came out of the dungeon?

"Go and rest. What.

Before leaving, the director hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to untie it."

coordinate human. His worth as a returnee was discussed, but his strength for clearing the 5-star dungeon was also important.

"I will send the report by e-mail."

Choi Soo-young spoke briefly before leaving.

"He's like a dog."

" ."

With Choi Soo-young leaving and still there was silence, Kim Jung-guk opened the door.

"What are you talking about?"

"It sounds like you are saying that your behavior resembles that of a dog."

Kim Jung-guk answered, but he was hopeful.

It's not a word.

*

A party was held to celebrate Suho's safe return.

"It was hard."

"We believed."

After the noisy dinner, Lee Sook-ja went to bed first with Geon-hoo.

Only the awakeners of the clan remained and were drinking, but Choi Soo-young joined the group.

Huh? Why did you come?

"It's a dispatch."

On the first day of dispatch, he was swept away by the incident and entered the dungeon.

"Do you know Yonggarifa?"

"I don't know."

"What about Yonggari Loan Office?"

"You know that."

"I bought it from there and fell into a trap. I caught most of the people involved, but I missed Kim Jung-soo, the boss of the Yonggaripa."

I'm glad.

Yes?

"Because I don't have to go to jail."

Is this a word or a bang?

"Aren't you mad?"

"I would be angry if I got caught."

'Cause you've lost your share

Revenge must be done on your own. You can't leave it to the police.

It doesn't matter what the dwarfs are. who ordered the job.

You just need to grab the head.

"You have to find it and kill it."

" ."

What does this person see me as?

This is Choi Soo-young, the manager of the Management Bureau.

"You know what that civil servant is?"

know.

As her eyes widened, Suho grinned.

"It's a joke."

I'm going to sneak up on him.

According to the contract, we have to accompany you for 100 days. After that, I'll try to find it slowly.

Park Soo-ho shrugged.

"Make an impression. Are you kidding me?"

"Well, it's not really a joke, but let's move on. Is there anything you want to ask the government for? He was willing to listen to anything."

"Not at all."

I was promised the status of a guild, and after that, I will also get a management area.

"You don't want a reward or anything?"

"No."

I'm not hungry, but I only hunt when the territory is invaded.

I still have a lot of money, but... .

"Oh, I have one."

Regulations that strangely made me feel frustrated.

"I tried level 5 dungeon anyway, but do I still need proof?"

The Guardian Clan is level 1.

The dungeons that can be challenged are up to 2 star dungeons.

"If you ask, I will listen."

"Oh."

Suho stroked his chin.

"Then why can't you give me the realm right now?"

"I'll give it to you."

"Hey, why are you so nice to me? Isn't it too sweet to go abroad for a few months?"

"Because it deserves it."

"Well, okay. That's good. Bring the contract."

Dong-soo quickly brought the contract.

"I think there will be more families in the future, so we need a lot of land. And fix this."

Suho drew a line on the contract.

"Whatever dungeons appear on my land, they belong to me."

I have no intention of giving the hunting grounds to others.

"Ugh. What if there is a 6-star dungeon?"

A 6-star dungeon would be catastrophic if it exploded.

A level that must be cleared unconditionally.

"I can attack."

" Well, then I think you'll hear it.

Good. Say that."

"It is."

Choi Soo-young called, and the management office readily agreed to the request that was not excessive.

"Are there any rooms left?"

"Why the room?"

Choi Soo-young pointed out one clause of the contract.

7. Accompany the crack detection personnel dispatched from the management office wherever they go.

"Ah, were you the one who sent me a subordinate?"

" Or why would you?"

Choi Soo-young drank the remaining beer and stood up.

"I have one thing to protect. You don't have to stick together, but don't fall more than 100 meters away.

"Okay."

"Let's do well for 100 days."

Suho took Choi Soo-young's extended hand.

*

The bureaucracy was quick to work, and 10 people were sent in the name of helping the guardian clan.

"What are you guys doing?"

"If the team leader is having a hard time, do we feel at ease when we play?"

"Hehe, I wanted to see you. manager.

They were members of Gamseong 11, Choi Soo-young's original agency.

Kim Mi-so, who came with him, smiled at Park Soo-ho.

"There are a few places that meet your requirements. Would you like to take a look now?"

It seemed that he had not yet made contact with foreign agents.

Good. Let's go."

"We will go together."

The clan members merged and the two trucks headed for their destination.

After running for about 20 minutes past Gate 86, I stopped in a wasteland.

"It's over there."

there?

I saw where Kim Mi-so was pointing.

A wire fence was all around, and there were two single-story buildings at the entrance. The problem was the overgrown weeds and the state of the building that was nothing short of a haunted house.

What is this. It's a ruined farm, isn't it?

After the cataclysm, the biggest problem was the food issue.

This was how small farms were run in fields around the city center until grain was imported from the planet Aruka.

Now, a large-scale agricultural district was created in Icheon, and two corps under the Ministry of National Defense were stationed and guarding the area.

Even then, the shortage of food is imported from the planet Aruka.

This was the reason that humans could survive even after occupying only a limited space called a city.

"How do you live here?"

Kim Mi-so nodded at Dong-soo's words, who seemed to be disappointed.

"The management office will take responsibility and repair it. I will prepare to move in within a month."

no.

Suho got out of the car.

The space inside the fence was quite large.

Almost two football fields.

"I like it very much."

There was no need to move in after a month.

The house where only the structure of the building remains and the large warehouse are hotels compared to the caves he used to live in.

People followed Suho as he walked towards the farm.

"I can live right now."

"Yeah? brother. They just ask for it somewhere other than here."

"Amitabha. That's what Sowon thinks too."

Kim Mi-so nervously added to the negative opinions of the clan members.

"You don't have to live here. It just means that the area around this road is recognized as the territory of the Guardian Clan."

When a clan concludes a defense treaty with the state and is assigned a management area, it becomes a guild.

Unless there is a vacancy in the city, the field managed by the Ministry of National Defense has no choice but to be removed.

"You can commute to work."

"Anyway, I like it. How far is my territory around here?"

"Um, roughly from here to there?"

Abandoned land anyway.

Do you need a survey on the field?

"As far as the manageable area."

okay?

Suho looked around the area.

In the future, many beasts will be tamed and received as companions.

They needed a lot of land to run around and live, and I just liked it.

"As far as it can be managed."

How far?

Green fireflies appeared around Suho.

Papa Pat.

uh?

The fireflies that appeared in the air became one, two, dozens, hundreds, and the number increased.

Surrounded by dotted lights, the figure of Suho was mysterious.

In accordance with his breathing, the tree spirits flickered as if breathing together.

Suho, who summoned the tree spirit to the limit, spread his hands wide.

grasp!

The green wave spread out in all directions.

The lights that had been traveling all the time stopped for a moment and drew a circle around Suho.

The radius seemed to exceed 1 kilometer.

"Grow up."

Papa Pat!

The tree spirits merged as if they were absorbed by the trees, grass, and vines around them.

Shush!

The trees grew rapidly and became entangled with each other and grew in size.

In an instant, a very shallow wall, tangled up in pieces, was created.

" ."

Seeing the people with their mouths wide open, Suho opened his eyes.

He said staggeringly, perhaps from the temporary use of energy.

"Don't make it this far."
