55 Daddy's too strong. Episode 54.

Here's the next news. A popular entertainer, identified only by his surname Kim, was found to have secretly filmed sex videos with his ex-girlfriend and leaked them to a group chat room with acquaintances. Mr. Park, who was in the group chat room, left the broken smartphone to a repair company...….

Yong-yong, who was watching TV, pulled his tongue.

The reality is worse than the novel...….

Sneak.

At that moment, Yong-yong's ears stood up.

I heard someone walking in the hallway in the apartment.

Listening to the sound, the steps were large and the steps were fast, and only one person on the third floor made this sound of footsteps.

"Master!"

in a hurry

Yong-yong jumped to the front door and waited for the door to open, wagging his tail.

After a while, the door was opened after hearing the door lock beeping the password.

And I could find Dojun and Carthiel.

Clap clap.

Yongyong, who was happy.

He jumped at Dojun with tears of emotion(?).

Master, I missed you...….

At that moment, Do-joon avoided Yong-yong by jerking and twisting his body.

Yong-yong's body went straight out of the gate and crossed the railing on the third floor.

......?

a gain in talent

Thick.

Dojun closed the gate.

At the moment, I heard a scream outside.

That's the sound made by Yong-yong, who fell off the railing on the third floor of the apartment building.

"I'm home."

When I heard Dojun's voice,

After Seol Yoon-hee turned off the gas, she walked to the front door taking off her apron.

said with a slightly surprised look.

"Didn't you say you were on a business trip until tomorrow?"

"It was supposed to be. The work was done quickly. What are your side dishes today?"

To Do-jun's question, Seol Yoon-hee replied embarrassedly.

"Woo, would you like to go wash up first?"

"Yes. Okay. What's for dinner?"

"I'll have dinner right after you wash up."

Seol Yoon-hee smiled awkwardly and pushed Do-joon's back to the shower room.

At a moment, I scanned the contents of the pot on top of the stove.

Vegetable hot pot with only a few kinds of tofu and vegetables.

I couldn't just serve a side dish of vegetables to Do-jun, who had been struggling outside.

"Please wash it gently. About two hours?"

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

dumbfounded Dojun

Then he looked at Carthiel, who was returning in the form of a baby dragon.

He must have been covered with a lot of dust because he walked around with him in the center.

While we're at it, I'll have to wash him off, too. Oh, send Yongyong to the shower room when he comes in later."

* * *

Ouch.

When Do-jun entered the bathtub, the full water drained out.

Then I saw Yong-yong sitting with his back turned in the corner of the bathroom.

He was sulky earlier because he avoided rushing in.

"I didn't mean to."

"That's a cowardly excuse.

He seemed to have been hurt.

Dojun put Yong-yong aside and told Carthiel.

Karsiel was looking at Yong-yong's wits.

"You come in, too."

"Choose well, it's me, it's my master." I think I'll see someone longer.

Karsiel looked alternately at Dojun and Yongyong.

And without a moment's hesitation, I went into the bathtub.

......you should at least pretend you're worried. Black, black, blue.'

Yong-yong trudged and came into the bathtub.

sat on Dojun's lap.

She looks as if she would melt down in warm water that winds her whole body.

"It's heavenly.

I agree with you, Master Iza.

Do-joon smiled at Yong-yong, who seemed to have been relaxed as if he had been angry.

* * *

after one's bath

Dojun was able to see the dishes with the table set to break.

A variety of menus that you might find in high-end Korean restaurants.

"What day is it today?"

"You had a hard time coming back from your business trip, so I prepared a lot for you to cheer up."

"Yes..."

Dojun was going to say, "You don't have to prepare this much."

When I saw Seol Yoon-hee's face looking at her with a look of wanting something, I swallowed what I was trying to say and smiled.

"That's tough. Thank you."

"Yes. Help yourself. Father."

Seol Yoon-hee sat in the opposite chair with a big smile.

Meanwhile, Yong-yong looked at the food on the table with his mouth open.

said to Dojun in an urgent voice.

Lord, master. Please don't go anywhere anymore. Please.'

"Huh?"

The difference between the quality of dinner when Dojun was present and when he was not present was poles apart.

"Yong Yong."

Seol Yoonhee sang Yongyong in a low voice and smiled.

Yong-yong slowly turned his head to the voice.

"Be quiet and eat."

"Yes."

in a strange atmosphere between the two

Dojun tilted his head.

"By the way, what did you have for lunch today?"

"...uh. Well."

Do-jun dawdled and avoided eye contact.

And Carthiel, who was eating dog food at lunch, made a happy face, recalling the taste of ramen he had at the rest stop.

Ramen. It was delicious......헙.

Karsiel covered his mouth with his front paws.

After eating all the ramen at the rest stop, Do-jun said that it should be a secret that he ate ramen while coming out, but he said it by mistake.

"......what?"

Yong-yong's eyes grew bigger while eating meat in a dog bowl.

I've never tried this before. Your precious ramen.

He was surprised to learn that Karsiel, who had low jjambap (?), tasted it.

"Ramen?"

"...sorry."

said Seol Yun-hee with a sigh.

"No, I'm fine once or twice."

Fortunately, it seemed like it was just going over.

But it was an illusion.

"But you'd better avoid it if possible. You know that MSG, an artificial seasoning, is not good for your health, right? And the sodium in one ramen exceeds the recommended daily dose, and if you eat it frequently, you can get high blood pressure and complications can cause heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina, osteoporosis...…"

The nagging lasted more than 20 minutes.

Monday at 3 p.m.

"I bought some coffee."

The door of the conference room opened and Dojun came in.

on a desk littered with papers

Kwon Hyuk-soo, who was looking at the budget, rose up stretching.

"Get some rest, Captain."

"Let's do that. Oops. I am so tired I could die."

Kang Cheol-soo stretching his neck.

I got a card from Dojun.

Dojun took out the coffee in a paper carrier and put it in front of Kang Chul-soo and Kwon Hyuk-soo.

Swoosh.

Dojun picked up a sheet of paper.

In the Crack Management Department, there was a budget course that supported the equipment of the contracted hunters.

About 1.5 billion won of the main budget was set up every year to purchase the contracted hunters' suits, weapons, and accessories.

Unlike last year's unit price contract with Daehan Workshop and purchased equipment collectively by grade, this year, special instructions from the manager to participate in the "Gyeongmae" held about three times a year and prepare high-grade equipment were being prepared by employees, including Dojun.

On the table were documents containing last year's auction results and lists of equipment presented, and comparative analysis of equipment that had been purchased under unit price contracts and equipment that might be auctioned off this time was fixed on the whiteboard.

Unlike buying something that's already priced.

The equipment for the auction was not priced, so it had to be thoroughly prepared. I wanted to prevent the worst-case scenario of expensive low-grade equipment.

"They're really good at business, by the way. This is a gamble, an auction."

"You can't even show me the option and ask for the price first. It's gambling. It reminds me of the game we used to play."

It was good to buy equipment through auction.

The problem is that the Korea Workshop will not disclose the options of the equipment that is exhibited at the auction.

Participants had to judge the value of the equipment only by its appearance, and in some cases, they paid billions of won for the equipment in severe cases.

"The results of last year's auction show that those below grade D accounted for more than 60 percent of the total. Why don't you not ask for more than 30 million won? Then it'll be less costly."

"You're right, but...…"

Dojun, who was listening to Kang Chul-soo and Kwon Hyuk-soo talking.

Suddenly, I remembered the Unidentified Artifact Box case I got during the last training session at Hunter Management.

At that time, Do-joon was able to detect the intense energy by opening up an unidentified artifact that the instructor was holding in his hand. And I made a presentation and won a free gift.

The result was based on Dojun's feeling, and he was able to get a good item.

'Can't others notice?'

If you look at the auction result list.

In some cases, D-rated equipment was purchased at more than 7 billion won.

Considering that the winning bidder was an A-class hunter, it seemed difficult to determine whether he had a rating based on his appearance just because he was a hunter who could handle Mana.

"It's worth a try."

Dojun muttered.

Upon hearing that, Kang Chul-soo turned his head and looked at Do-jun.

"It's worth a try?"

Dojun nodded.

Do-joon's attitude of being too imposing.

Kang Chul-soo's face is in full bloom.

"What's the way?!"

* * *

next day

Korean Dortrune.

A annex building located on the site of the Hunter Administration Bureau.

Despite the early hours not yet 9 a.m., the Korean Workshop Building was covered with phosphorus. The majority were gathered to participate in the auction.

"You said it starts at 10:00, didn't you? Let's stay inside."

About an hour is left before the auction begins.

Kang Chul-soo looked at the third auditorium 20 meters away.

I was assigned seats after receiving applications at the counter, so it didn't matter if I went in advance.

Kang Cheol-soo, who entered the auditorium and auction house, sat in the seat that read F13, and Kwon Hyuk-soo and Do-jun sat side by side.

Click.

Dojun took out a remote-looking machine that was attached to the armrest of the chair.

At the top front of the machine, there was a sticker called No. 68, and at the bottom, the number pad could be checked.

'Is this the bidding machine?'

The front was draped to cover the platform.

A total of 30 auction items will be submitted today.

Maybe he's busily preparing for the auction in there.

Given that each auditorium has 100 seats.

Some people couldn't take anything from the auction today.

After a while, about an hour later.

The large curtain that was covering the platform began to open.

One could be seen standing on the platform with an equipment pedestal and an auctioneer.

A bow embroidered with colorful flower patterns was placed on top of the equipment pedestal.

a roaring roar

"You look good."

"I'll just have to wait and see at first."

"Um..."

The auctioneer grabbed the microphone and said,

[In a moment, we'll start the auction.]

Dojun said to Kang Chul-soo.

"Captain, you said you'd leave it to me, right?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah."

Kang Chul-soo recalled what Do-jun said yesterday.

I have a good feeling about it.

The first time I heard it, I was a little dumbfounded.

But if you think about it, luck plays a big role in getting good items cheap anyway.

Looking at Dojun's confident attitude, Kang Chul-soo and Kwon Hyuk-soo decided to fully trust him at the auction.

[Then I'll start at 1 million won.]

The auction has begun.
