47 Daddy's too strong. Episode 46.

[Tutorial zone is currently sealed.]

[There are not enough tickets to enter the tutorial zone.]

Complete [Heading towards the center of the special quest]]

Pussy.

The bead that was embedded in the heel of Lee Kang-hyun's foot.

The violet glow of the Assault Gear, which increases Hunter's mobility, faded.

Achromatic and translucent returned to its original color.

"Mr. Geoffrey, we don't have any more reserves of Mana Smoke. I think you'd better go back to the administration and report on the situation. It's earlier than the scheduled return date, but there's no more remaining income."

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Lee Kang-hyun is at Balchi.

I looked down at the hole so deep that I could not dare to measure its depth.

A point from the ground up to 500 meters below ground, an entrance to the center.

The boundary point with the tutorial, which could only have been reached through 20 dives.

'I've already looked around this area.'

I've been through all the entrances to the center.

No special quests have appeared, 'Heading to the Center.'

As Eileen said, there was no more income left here.

Lee Kang-hyun raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Heavy rain poured down as if a hole had been made.

Shoot!

"......Let's withdraw."

* * *

a torrent of rain

Yong-yong, who was in Do-jun's arms, gulped down his saliva.

There is no sound or trace left behind even if you step on a puddle of water that is stuck on the floor due to rainwater, or in a muddy field.

'What the hell's wrong with him?'

This level of sophisticated mana control was impossible even for himself.

You can do it if you want to follow it, but it would be impossible to leave no sound or trace at all if you die and come back to life. Thinking so, Yong-yong thought he was extremely lucky to have survived Do-jun.

Thick.

In no time, Dojun arrived at the rooftop of the annex building of Hunter Academy.

If you look up, you can see that the lights were on all over the dorms where the students lived 200 meters away. And if you looked a little further, you could see the practice crack that you saw during the day was glistening.

Swoosh.

Dojun checked his wristwatch.

He flew at the crack.

* * *

[Nergues watches over you. ]

[Reading towards the center of the special quest.]

Inside the crack, central square.

Dojun poured the tickets from his pocket into the glass.

The bead took out an assist bead and breathed in the air. The ball slowly turned around and hovered around Dojun.

However, a minute has passed and nothing has changed.

Swoosh.

Yongyong looks up at Dojun standing still.

He tilted his head.

"Master, what are you doing?

"...oh, there's one more left."

Dojun emptied the remaining one ticket into the glass.

Kugugugung!

The crack began to shake as if it were about to collapse.

And seven light streams of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and navy came out of the glass and swirled.

The streams of light gathered again in a single spot and went into the glass.

After a while the frantic shaking ground calmed down.

Pong.

From the glass appeared a fairy a little larger than the palm.

a fairy of typical appearance, as seen in fairy tales

The fairy grinned at Dojun.

"You're the challenger who woke me up."

"Are you Nergues?"

"Exactly. My name is Nergess. Administrator of the tutorial zone in the center. First of all, I'd like to say thank you. For waking me up in eternity."

Swoosh.

Nerges seemed slightly surprised to see Yong-yong at Do-jun's feet.

Dragon Road, Isaas.

"......why are you here? I'm sure the Dragon people are in the deep sleep!"

"What? Master, if I kill him, I can go home, right?

Dojun nodded.

Yong-yong looked at the gas and said,

대Yes, you're right. Go through it's fine.

Nergues retreated back in surprise.

No matter how much he said he was the manager of the center, he was at the lowest rank, so it was hard to handle Isaas.

"Come on, hold on. Aren't you also a great dragon, born in the central part of the world? Are you just listening to a human order? Besides, master. It's a demeanor of a noble dragon!"

Yong-yong, who was listening to it, looked calm.

He lifted his forefoot and yawned, digging his ears.

"So. What do you want me to do?"

"......what?"

"What's it got to do with you whether I was born in the center or not? And the majesty of the Dragon, and the pride of the Dragon clan feed? Huh? Are you giving me Braised Short Ribs and Braised Spicy Chicken?

Nergues, who was listening to Yongyong, looked dumb.

I looked at Dojun.

Ishaas lived in the heart of the heart.

Is there a man who can kneel down like this?

Tick, tick, tick.

Dojun checked his wristwatch.

Three minutes have already passed since it entered the crack.

In the future, Dojun will be assigned about two minutes.

"What will be a will?"

"......yes?"

"You're asking me if I have anything to say for the last time.

"I don't think so."

slurping through

The assistant bead became as soft as clay.

Soon it was changed to the form of a small dagger.

A black dagger with a dull feeling without any pattern.

Scrape!

A dark blue flag flows from the dagger like an electric current.

The moment I was about to rush towards Nergess.

"Come on, hold on! If you kill me, you can't attack the center. Do you like it, though?"

Nerges cried with his eyes shut.

It was a tutorial zone for humans to save, but the manager's face was terrible.

But shouldn't we live and see?

"You can't blackmail me?"

"Yes. If I die, the tutorial manager will be gone. If that happens, you won't be able to go down to the next floor, and you won't be able to uncover the secrets of the heart forever."

an attack squad currently targeting the central part

Behimos Guild, ranked 1st to 3rd in Korea's Hunter Ranking, including swordsman Lee Kang-hyun.

In addition, Kang Min-hyuk, Han Min-ji, Kwak Young-ho and Yangcheok-gi were to be deployed.

Director Jung Young-chul is also asking Do-joon to join the attack team.

To put it bluntly, Dojun was able to join the attack team or not.

No, it was rather better not to go. Because it was annoying.

"It doesn't matter."

It's a piece of cake!

The spirits grew stronger.

Dojun sighed as he looked at Nergess shivering.

If I had known it was such a weak monster, I would have just let the students break the quest naturally.

"Sa, please save me. Please..."

[Nergues has been recognized.]

[You have acquired a collection of admission tickets.]

[From now on, the tutorial zone in the center will be opened. Only challengers with tickets can enter the tutorial zone.]

[Will you announce your achievements to the center?]]

[Yes / No]

Took

Dojun held a pocket that fell at his feet.

When I opened my pocket, I could see that it was filled with tickets.

And approached Nerges, who was staring at the ground with a face of terror.

"Hee, heee!"

Dojun stroked Nerges' head, then walked toward the exit of the crack.

Nergues, whose eyes were moist, looked carefully at the exit.

Yong-yong followed Do-jun and watched him tramping along.

".........."

* * *

7 a.m., Crack Management Division, Seoul City Hall.

As usual, Kwon Hyuk-soo, who came out as early as usual, confirmed that the office security system was off and tilted his head. Normally, at this time of year, the staff did not come to work, so it was normal when the security system was on.

"Mr. Dojun?"

Kwon Hyuk-soo walked to the crack probe office and found Do-jun, who had been working on the accelerator since the morning.

"Ah. Senior. Good morning."

Kwon Hyuk-soo said, leaving his briefcase in his place.

"Why did you come to work so early today?"

"There's been some trouble."

Dojun recalled what happened last night.

Can't we sleep together?

Maybe it's because I watched a horror movie?

No, the gloomy weather must have played a part.

Anyway, that night, Dojun had no choice but to close his eyes on the floor of the living room.

Yong-yong and Carthiel asked if they could sleep together, but they didn't work.

Eventually, he laid a blanket on the floor next to the living room mattress, and spent the night with two dragons with uncomfortably awake eyes.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Yes. I see."

Dojun went into the pantry and took out two coffee sticks and poured them into each paper cup.

He poured hot water and stirred it with a spoon to give a cup of finished coffee to Kwon Hyuk-soo.

Kwon Hyuk-soo accepted with a smile.

"Thank you, by the way. It's been over a year and three months since you joined the company, right?"

"That's about it."

"Are you done with your training?"

"Education hours?"

In order for public officials to be promoted, they had to complete the quota required for promotion by filling the regular study hours, and in general, cyber education, collective education organized by educational institutions, and social welfare education were required.

"You're going to be promoted to Grade 8 in about three months, and you'll have to fill your training time to get a promotion. Since you didn't go to the new recruitment training session, you probably don't have enough time. I saw a training session at Hunter Management Office this time. Go there and come back. I'll talk to the chief."

Dojun nodded.

Honestly, it didn't matter whether I got a promotion or not, but it was better to have some assortment first.

"Let's see. When was the date?"

Kwon Hyuk-soo returned to his seat and accessed the Seoul Metropolitan Government's administrative portal to search for official documents.

And I could check the training schedule in March without difficulty.

Kwon Hyuk-soo, who saw the training date organized by Hunter Administration, told Do-jun.

"It's next Monday through Wednesday."

* * *

Do-joon glanced at Cha Ye-ji, who was eagerly touching his smartphone next to him.

Cha Ye-ji is humming to see what makes her so happy.

If you roll your eyes slightly and look at the screen of your smartphone,

At that moment, Dojun realized.

Let's have dinner together next time.

That we promised to have dinner together.

"Manager. Manager. Do you like Gambas?"

"Gambas?"

"Gambas al-Ahijo. It's a Spanish dish with shrimp, garlic, and olive oil. If you haven't tried it, would you like to try it this time?"

There was no reason to refuse, so Dojun nodded.

"Well, how about this Saturday?"

"Saturday... ...how about next Monday?"

"Monday?"

I'm going to the Hunter Administration for education from next Monday. You have to stop by the management office anyway and apply for a special promotion. Then we can have dinner together."

Cha Ye-ji smiled.

"Then is it next Monday?"

"Yes. Let's do that."

'Then you can bring me your ticket.'

Do-joon recalled a pocket in a drawer.
