Chapter 430
Kim Eun-ah looked at her watch.
10 pm.
A day spent at the academy during vacation was very short, but today was particularly long. I spent the whole day meeting the people introduced by my grandfather and following the family to receive the necessary education for succession.
[You know at once how practical our company’s products are! Until now, most of the conversations were with consultation, but it’s really amazing!]
Everyone Kim Eun-ah met was friendly to Kim Eun-ah.
‘What’s the matter?’
How clear is the relationship?
They didn’t even have to know who each other was, only the profit was calculated. It is money, not people, that speaks.
What we need to know each other is the contents of the contract, and what we need to match is the number of money. The process was as simple as it was terribly clear.
As an elite who will lead the group, I was very familiar with things I learned since I was young.
‘What are you all doing? Velvet will... sleep at this time, right? Will Adela be awake?’
I heard that Adela is busy these days with people visiting from Italy.
He said that it makes no sense that Italy’s most notable rookie is not in Italy, and asked to return to Bianca Academy.
Of course, from what I’ve heard, everything is rejected.
Adela remains at Gaon.
‘Sumire must be very busy.’
I heard that you are helping class F and participating in dungeons here and there. Sumire, who was an inferior student, became a necromancer who summoned the Bone Dragon and was attracting attention as the protagonist of the academy.
Besides that, the party members were getting busy for their own reasons. Sakura and Lee Siu were always together, saying they would revitalize the dojo together, and Amy, a celebrity, had all kinds of broadcasts in her schedule.
Looking at it this way, Kim Eun-ah felt like a momentary dream as they spent almost the entire day together in the room.
When I open my eyes, it seems like yesterday that I was with my colleagues, climbed the tower, and attacked the dungeon, but now Kim Eun-ah has come to a completely different world.
“Eun-ah, it’s late, so I have to go back now, right? The secretary has been waiting for you since an hour ago.”
Eventually, at the words of Kim Jun-hyeok, who came to the office, Kim Eun-ah looked at her watch. It’s been a long time since I’ve been so focused on work.
“Yeah... just check this.”
Kim Eun-ah checked the documents with an expressionless face. In the document, more than 10 companies all responded according to the proposal Kim Eun-ah wanted. Not a single thing about the Hunter job went the way I wanted it to, but how could this be so easy?
Maybe it was true that songchungi should eat pine needles.
Of course, if that’s the case, wouldn’t he be an entrepreneur Song Chung-i rather than a hunter Song Chung-i?
He had never won against Adela, and he wasn’t as strong as Shin Yoo-seong, and he was pushed aside by Sumire’s growth when he was in second place.
On the other hand, each of the achievements Kim Eun-ah achieved within the first day after coming to Shinsung Group was a major event that would cause a stir in the business world.
“Are you really okay? It’s good to work hard, but if you do, you’ll get hurt.”
“are you okay. I’m going to take care of the mines by today.”
“It was unconventional. The first place my mother visited as soon as she was free to work was a mine in Australia.”
While listening to Kim Jun-hyeok’s story, Kim Eun-ah checked the documents. Although the contract was first checked by the advisory committee, it was still something he had to allow himself to do, so he checked it carefully.
“...In the new year, there is always a delivery period for mana stones, right? This time, exports were very small. I thought about why, but the new product made by Hunter Baion was the problem.”
“Is this mana stone thing related to Hunter Bayon?”
“huh. But to be precise, the process of extracting low-level mana stones, not all mana stones, was too inefficient until now. Subtracting the mana stone price and extraction cost, the profit was 5%. Of course, the price of low-grade mana stones was cheap. From a business point of view, it was overflowing with difficulties to deal with.”
“Then... did you have any colleagues?”
No matter how sleepy she was, she slowly opened and closed her eyes repeatedly. Kim Jun-hyeok was worried that Kim Eun-ah would fall asleep at the desk.
“huh. He was an undeservedly wonderful Hunter for me. He was sincere, just, and very strong. He said he has become a 6th grade hunter now. Honestly... I was so proud.”
Kim Eun-ah felt strange when she saw Kim Jun-hyeok recalling her colleague. The relationship between Kim Jun-hyeok and his colleague was not currently in progress.
Is it because the body is as far away as the mind is far away?
“Looking at the way we talk, we haven’t met since we woke up, right? Really heartless...”
“It’s enough for me to just watch... from a distance.”
However, when Kim Jun-hyeok answered, Kim Eun-ah’s eyes were already closed. Even though he looked fine on the outside, thinking about how tired he must have been after walking around the country all day made Kim Jun-hyeok’s heart ache for no reason.
‘...Actually, it’s a lie, Eun-ah.’
Kim Jun-hyeok covered Kim Eun-ah with the outerwear he was wearing so that she would not get cold. I would be embarrassed if I did it when I was awake, so I secretly stroked my hair like I did when I was a kid.
‘The reason I can’t meet him is... not because I’m okay. It’s just because I’m afraid.’
Kim Jun-hyeok stopped for two years, but his colleague lived in reality. How much he would have changed. Now that he was an outsider, he could hardly think of what to say.
I just wanted to leave it as a good memory. Because becoming a hunter was an undeserved dream for him.
‘But honestly...’
Of course, ironically, if there was only one wish for Kim Jun-hyeok, it was to meet a colleague.
“I miss you. Yura...”
However, Kim Jun-hyeok just uttered words that would never reach anyone.
* * *
Yura climbed the 14 steps prepared for her with Shin Yoo-seong.
“...see that light?”
A faint light could be seen through the dim vision. Candles were seen.
The candle waxes, which had been turned off, were igniting themselves without any tools, as if they were delighted with Yura’s visit.
“yes. I welcome you, senior.”
“Please don’t say anything scary.”
Still, where are you not alone?
The two, who became quite close, even exchanged jokes as they walked towards the 5th floor.
“This space is the same. I don’t feel any mana.”
“Even on the 3rd floor, I thought my ears would be torn from the howling banshees...”
Maybe it was natural.
This wasn’t the 5th floor of the Delta Tower. It was a completely different dimension invited by the evil spirit.
“Perhaps this is proof that the ‘opponent’ you thought of is here.”
Even though the mansion was so quiet that you could hear footsteps, Shin Yoo-seong walked down the street without relaxing.
At the end of the straight aisle reached by climbing the stairs, a huge painting welcomes you.
“for a moment. stop.”
Yura called Shin Yoo-seong to the familiar face drawn in the picture.
“...This is the aisle.”
