169 Daddy's too strong. Episode 168.

Swing, swing!

A crack in Huam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

In the cave of the dark-horned squirrel, a man in a black mask looked around.

On a late evening, he clung to the stone wall and took one step at a time, hoping that someone would find him. If you get caught in someone's act, you might die on the spot in shame.

Hustle!

The horn squirrels were on high alert for an invasion of outsiders.

The man waved the horn squirrel away, as if annoyed.

Even if they didn't have to use weapons, the horn squirrels couldn't easily approach the man's life alone. He wasn't like any of the others.

"You guys..."The level is suddenly getting higher."

Three years ago, a man recalled when he came to the cave of a horned squirrel out of curiosity.

Horned squirrels are fast, but they're Class F monsters. It was no match for a man of S grade Hunter. However, the speed of the horned squirrels was clearly different from what it used to be, and at first glance, they were comparable to the B-class monster 'Rapid Star.'

"Found."

kept in the nest of horned squirrels

palm-sized acorns with fine figures

The man grinned and picked up ten acorns and put them in his bag.

Whip! Whip!

Look around.

Angry squirrels that are shaking their bodies, resentful of having stolen acorns.

The man felt sorry for the squirrels, but he couldn't leave them here.

"Forgive this body."

The man disappeared with the wind.

Here's the next news. Recently, rumors have spread that acorns growing in horn squirrels' caves are excellent at treating erectile dysfunction and improving power, attracting hunters to horn squirrel caves across the country. There's been a rumor that this acorn is good for your energy because it was brought up under the energy of a crack, whether it's true or not...….

News was being reported on a wall-mounted TV hanging in the crack management office.

While working, Do-joon cast his eyes on TV for a while. News reports that hunters are flocking from Class F cracks in Huam-dong, managed by the Crack Management Department. Spin the ballpoint pen on your finger and think for a moment.

in a burst

Then someone opens the door of the office and comes inside.

a man in his late thirties dressed neatly and in a hairy style

Dojun had a dim knowledge of the man. It was Yoo Min-sang, the representative of Yu Min-sang's workshop, who visited the city hall whenever he was bored and solicited government officials.

"Good work, gentlemen!"

A loud voice that seems to signal that I'm here.

The officials, who took a break from that chilling tone for a while, flinch and suddenly stare through the monitor. Yoo Min-sang, however, smiled and immediately rushed to the crack probe and walked to Chief Kang Chul-soo.

"Hi, it's been a long time, Chief. Wasn't I too little?"

"Someone who visits you once a month? Someone might think you're a very employee."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Myeso. How was the horse massage last time? That's a big hit product in Japan, but did you only give it to the chief?"

"Where'd you come from and bring a cheap...…."

Yoo Min-sang smiled and looked over Kwon Hyuk-soo's spot.

However, Kwon Hyuk-soo has been away for a while due to the crack exploration.

And came to Dojun, who was sitting on the horseback as if he were for granted.

"How's our Dojun Lee?"

Swoosh.

Do-jun's eyes were slightly sticking out of Yoo Min-sang's bag.

He must have come to escort today as well. Moreover, since I brought the horn squirrel acorn product, which is in the middle of the news these days, it seemed to me that I was determined to take my share firmly.

"Are you here to sell it?"

"Oh, haha. It's sticking out. Well, I'm not here to sell......... just to see the officer in charge, something like this came out. I'm here to introduce you. It's good for a man.That's right. The news is all over the place these days."

Dojun sighed.

'By the way......'

Dojun looked at the official letter of cooperation from Hunter Management.

Because of the sudden rumor that the recent acorns of the horn squirrel are good for energy.

As the number of hunters sweeping acorns, which are the staple food of horn squirrels, is increasing, the government is asking for measures to preserve cracks as they pose a major threat to the growth of horn squirrels.

***

Hunter's administration office, Behimos Guild Office.

Ryu Jun-yeol gulped and took an acorn out of his bag.

And after confirming that there was no one in the Oval Office, he began work on crushing acorns with both hands to powder them.

Parsasak!

Soon, ten acorns became powdery.

The acorns were hard, but Ryu Jun-yeol's strength allowed them to exert thousands of times more pressure than most ordinary people, so the acorns were as weak as tofu.

I carefully put the acorn powder that was made like that in the water bottle.

He poured hot water and began to mix well.

"...whoo."

An acorn tea made like that.

Ryu Jun-yeol adds ice to cool it down.

Slowly poured the bucket into his mouth.

No, I tried to pour it in. At that moment, the door of the Oval Office burst open.

Embarrassed, Ryu Jun-yeol quickly hid the water bottle in a drawer.

"No, knock on the door!"

It was Lee Kang-hyun and Moon Ae-kyung who entered the Oval Office.

Moon Ae-kyung asked, looking at Ryu Jun-yeol with cold sweat on his face.

"I think you just hid something."

"Huh, haha! Sue, hide it? This body?"

"......or why are you so embarrassed?"

Sitting on the sofa, Lee Kang-hyun.

I breathed heavily through my nose at the savory smell I could feel somewhere.

"Dotori?"

"!!!"

"It smells like an acorn in the room."

Ryu Jun-yeol is sweating profusely.

Suddenly, Lee Kang-hyun came up with a buzzing horn squirrel acorn on TV these days.

There were a lot of rumors about whether it was a rumor or not, but it seems that older men are looking for it because they paid a lot of money.

"Hwa, I need to ventilate it."

Ryu Jun-yeol turned the window wide open.

Lee Kang-hyun was suspicious of Ryu Jun-yeol's unnatural behavior.

아직 20대인 류준열이 설마 도토리를 먹겠나 싶어 신경을 끄기로 했다.

다음 날.

저녁 식사를 마친 후.

도준은 후암동의 한 F급 균열에 들렸다.

최근 헌터들에게 핫플레이스인 뿔다람쥐 동굴.

후암동의 뿔다람쥐들은 다른 지역의 다람쥐들과는 달리 몇 십배나 빨랐기 때문에 사람이 거의 찾아오지 않는 편이었지만, 그래도 아직 잘 모르는 헌터들이 값이 잔뜩 오른 도토리를 채집하기 위해 종종 찾아오기도 했다.

허나 참교육(?)을 당한 헌터들이 곧바로 균열에서 나온다.

"No, what's wrong with these horned squirrels here?"

"Did you just see that? It's not some kind of teleportation.…."

"Let's go somewhere else. I looked up the internet and found the squirrels here are unique."

"It's so hard to pick an acorn."

[Lee Do-joon of the Crack Management Department of Seoul City Hall has been confirmed.]

The official ID is stamped on the entrance and entered into the crack.

Since it was free time now, there was no intern at the Hunter Management Bureau who guarded the entrance, so it didn't matter if I just entered, but in order to leave grounds for working overtime, I had to certify like this.

Throbbing.

Follow where you can feel the energy of the horn squirrels and go inside.

At the sound of Dojun's footsteps, the horned squirrels were walking around, looking very wary.

Upon confirming that the intruder was Dojun, the squirrels soon calmed down and approached Dojun.

Man, long time no see!

Byul's dad is here!

You're not here to steal acorns, are you?

Dojun shook his head slightly, recognizing that he was on the same side.

And asked, looking at the acorn warehouse guarded by the horned squirrels.

"Are you guys doing any harm?"

At that remark.

The horned squirrels began to say what they had to say, as if a bomb had burst.

A human being takes acorns every day!

It didn't work even though we were guarding it. He wasn't like the others!

I think I'll be back soon today. He's reducing our food supply!

Do-joon, who heard the squirrels' testimony, said,

After touching his chin, he fell into contemplation, and soon nodded as if he had made up his mind.

If the horned squirrels here can't even compete with them, at least grade B or higher.

"What does it look like?"

I don't know! I was wearing a mask!

"The mask..."

Why would you have to?

Dojun decided to wait here.

A beep.

A masked man looked around.

And I checked that there was no one around.

The man took the Hunter ID card out of his arms and put it on the entrance.

[Ryu Jun-yeol, nice to meet you.]

Ryu Jun-yeol, who took a Hunter ID card on the entrance.

He flung himself towards the cave of the horned squirrel. To be honest, I don't know if acorns work, but I came back with just the thought that it would be better than not eating.

***

leaning against the wall with folded arms

Dojun, who was waiting for what the horn squirrels said to be a "strong man" to come.

I caught a feeling in my gut feeling. have quite outstanding mana

At least A-level, maximum S-level, based solely on the mana caught in the flag.

That's the human party!

You tough bastard! I'm back again today!

At that time, In-yeong was reflected in Do-jun's vision.

A man wearing a hat deeply pressed, masked.

Realizing that the man was Ryu Jun-yeol, Do-jun sighed.

"......huck!"

When Ryu Jun-yeol saw Do-joon, he gasped as if he was embarrassed.

As if he had seen nothing, he trembled slightly.

"Lord, what brings you here at this hour...…."

"Do you know me?"

Realizing that he made a slip of the tongue, Ryu shook his head vigorously.

"Mo, I don't know. Oh, no! I don't know!"

"I heard someone recently came to the cave of a horn squirrel and took an acorn. Is that you?"

Do-jun asked, glancing at the bag Ryu Jun-yeol was carrying.

Ryu Jun-yeol stammered his words, stepping backward, one step at a time.

"He, can't be?"

"I have a question. May I ask you ask me a few questions?"

Ryu Jun-yeol's eyes shake greatly.

As if there was an earthquake in the pupils, moreover, the skin under the eyes is trembling.

"Yi, this body...…."

Ryu Jun-yeol, who was rolling his eyes.

Suddenly, he shouted, pointing his finger at Dojun's back.

"Ah! What is that?!"

Dojun knew there was nothing behind him.

For Ryu Jun-yeol, I decided to check the back for a while.

Then, let's turn Dojun's head slightly back, boom!

Ryu Jun-yeol kicked the ground.

He began to run away at a rapid pace.

The thief ran away!

Aren't you coming back tomorrow?

***

next day

Sweet.

Bechimos' office.

Ryu Jun-yeol was shaking his legs in a chair.

"Me, you don't know it's me, do you?'

All of a sudden.

The door to the Oval Office opens.

It was Lee Kang-hyun who opened the door.

He had a bottle of potion in his hand.

Thick.

Lee Kang-hyun put the potion on the desk.

"The Director wants you to deliver it."

Ryu Jun-yeol, who stopped shaking his legs.

Slowly turned his eyes toward the portation.

Unlike normal potion, it was a subtle glow.

There was a brilliant blue color.

"I hear it's good for your health. Especially....."

Lee Kang-hyun blurted out what he said. I coughed in vain.

"Anyway, I told him."

All of a sudden.

Lee Kang-hyun closed the door and left.

***

The next morning.

Dojun received a text message from Ryu Jun-yeol.

The text was really long.

The word 'thank you' seemed to be going over 100 words.
