Chapter 34

“This is crazy. This is crazy.”

Jin-woo mumbles to himself as he stares at the endless stream of furniture coming in through the freight elevator.

The movers rush out every time the elevator stops, and the furniture has an antique, old-fashioned feel to it.

As one by one, each mover brings out a piece of furniture, Jin-woo’s jaw widens.

“Every single one of them is an awakened person?”

“That one, he’s carrying the luggage on his back......what the hell is that?”

Se-ah, who had been looking at them blankly, cautiously opens her mouth, wondering if the other kids were feeling the same way.

“If it’s a company with Awakened people like that working for them, isn’t the fee tens of millions of credits! I’ve heard rumors that chaebols only use companies made up of Awakened people when they remodel, but......I never thought I’d actually see that!”

Se-ah clapped her palms to her cheeks in excitement as she realized how shocking the scene was.

“A guy my dad knows is a remodeler. I was just looking for help.”

To my surprise, everything I said was true.

Corleone businesses are woven into the fabric of Korean industry, and the people I was calling were from one of those businesses, Move Family, a cleaning company under Corleone.

[Move Family]

They are a family that specializes in cleaning up after big events within an organization, or when there is a situation that needs to be cleaned up, and they are unparalleled in this field, specialists in making a site new again.

Perhaps that’s why their work is so quick and methodical.

“Where do we put this?”

“You can put it over there by the pillars.”

Gradually, the furniture began to arrive and Room Z, which had been nothing more than a storage room, began to take on a life of its own.

“Robert, we’re going to be using wood for all the flooring here, so bring it in!”

“We’re going to put up a wall from the pillar over there to here!”

“Are you sure you’ve carved all the tassels on that side? Test it again!”

“Put an interceptor on that wall and an antibacterial on this one!”

The room, which was just a warehouse, was transformed into a fortress.

As I watched with satisfaction, Young-jae, who had been watching silently until now, pointed to the empty space.

“President, it looks empty over there, is there anything else coming in?”

“You know what? The luggage in there is about to come in too.......”

The elevator screeched to a halt, even heavier than usual, before I could finish my sentence.

The heavy iron doors slowly opened, revealing Haru holding a file folder in her hand.

“The president of the International Trade Club?”

Young-jae, confused by Haru’s sudden appearance, pushes past her and approaches the elevator.

“You’re here sooner than I thought.”

“Master── I was able to get here quickly because of the support of the people sent by the head of the family.”

The elevator is filled with exercise equipment, and this time, Se-ah jaw drops.

“These are supposed to be legendary machines that only S-class guilds use, and even then, they’re worth tens of millions of credits per machine......!”

Waving a hand at Kim Se-ah, who scratched her head in embarrassment, Isheri opened the bag she was wearing and pulled out a packet full of cookies and a thermos.

“Uhhh.......First of all, congratulations on your new club, I kind of hastily made these as a gift.......Would you like to try some?

Isheri asks cautiously, sneaking a glance at me.

I nodded, noticing that the others’ eyes were already fixed on the cookies and the thermos.

“Thanks. If it weren’t for the shoddy remodeling, we’d owe you a treat.”

“Oh, no, I’m the one who’s in a hurry!”

Shaking her head, she meekly pours the tea into the paper cups she brought and places one in front of each of us.

She looks embarrassed, but sneaks a glance at us.

“This is .......”

Familiar flavors and aromas.

This tea tasted so much like the tea Parnello used to make for me at home.

“Hehe. It’s a fairy flower that only comes from the Fairy Garden. I don’t know if you’ll like it, but I recommend dipping a cookie in the tea before eating it.”

Was the tea Parnello was referring to fairy flower tea.......?

I thought it was just a black tea from some fancy brand, but apparently it was brewed with petals from the dungeon.

“Hehe....... I’m so happy that you enjoyed it.”

“That’s because your cooking skills are excellent.”

And the three of them nodded at the same time as if they agreed with me. In response, Isheri hangs her head low as if she’s embarrassed.

“By the way, what’s strange about this room......is that it’s so noisy outside, but it’s so quiet inside?”

“Ah, yes. Well, it’s a place where clients come, so I made sure to soundproof it.”

In fact, the wall materials surrounding the room were all made of materials that blocked eavesdropping as well as outside magic.

I’d even had a sigil carved into it with the help of the Move Family, so unless an archmage came to visit, they would never be able to overhear what was going on inside.

“If you’re worried about what you say leaking out, you don’t have to worry.”

From the look of it, she was about to say something that shouldn’t be said outside.

After reassuring her, I look at her with calm eyes.

“If you’re here because of the forum post, I assume you’re here to make a request. May I ask what kind of request you’re here to make, senior?”

I ask in as casual a voice as I can muster to put her at ease, then she nods and begins to open her mouth cautiously.

“Ah, yes. First of all, let me formally introduce myself. I’m Isheri, the head of the Recipe Development Club, and I’m here to request a favor from the Familia Club.”

Wait, “Recipe Development Club”?

The Recipe Development Club is one of the clubs that can be unlocked by completing club-related quests.

She appeared in the game as the head of the club for the content of creating your own dishes with various ingredients, and she was memorable because she was a female NPC who appeared later in the game and had her own fan base in the community.

She had long, curly silver hair, big eyes, and a top that was bigger than her size.

In person, I could see why the community loved her so much, calling her Bunny.

But then...

“We’d like to ask......to kick the crap out of that ‘Ranger Club’ that’s been bullying us!”

“......?”

Now, what was she talking about?
