Chapter 39

[Hound]

1st grades field trip destination will be Bukhansan. Why dont the president and vice president make teams for the kids? (1)

Morning meeting time. Miss Yoo-Jina gives the kids the agenda from the teachers meeting the day before.

I dont want to work.

Eunha slumped down at his desk and sighed. Even as vice president, he hated to work, and he didnt like having to organize the childrens groups.

He wants Jin-sena to do it all, but.

Surprisingly, Jin-sena was fulfilling her role as president. And thanks to her manipulation of the kids in the clique, Eunha was able to get away with being the vice president.

Sena wanted to have both power and authority as president, so she scolded him for not fulfilling his vice-presidential responsibilities, but she didnt ask him to fulfill his responsibilities.

Though it was nice for him to not have to do anything.

Ha.

Not this time.

If he let Sena organize the childrens groups, he could see what would happen: she would split up the children she didnt like and put them in groups of children who didnt like each other.

He made his way to the table, just in case.

Jinsena, who was already there, looked at him unpleasantly.

You only work at times like this?

Huh? No, I work normally too.

Eunha responded as if asking what she meant.

He responds with a smug look on his face, and Sena is momentarily flustered. She tried to remember if hed ever done any work as vice president, but to her knowledge, he hadnt.

What work? What do you do as vice president?

I help out by staying out of the way, and if I get involved, its just more work for you.

Thats ridiculous. If thats what youre saying, then why dont you just stay out of it?

Well, do you think so?

Yeah, get back to your seat.

Okay, Ill do the weaving, and you can do the rest.

What?

What was he talking about?

Sena was dumbfounded at how confident Eunha was acting under the childrens stares.

Regardless, Eunha continued to write down the names of the kids who were hanging out with Minji on the board.

What do you think youre doing!

This is how we do it in our group.

Whether Sena was angry or not, Eunha nonchalantly brushed off the chalk dust from his hands. He was so composed that even the children who looked down on him couldnt help but open their mouths.

Sena couldnt keep her mouth shut as she watched him engage in shameless behaviour right in front of her.

She tried to keep Eunha from serving as vice president so that she could have the upper hand in Class 4. She had been taught by her father not to embrace those with whom she disagreed, but to tie their hands and feet before they could make a dent in her power.

So she let the vice chairman do whatever he pleased.

He didnt know where he stood. Sena only wanted to keep him out of the position of Vice-President, not have him take over the job for his own gain.

Its good for you, isnt it?

Are you ignoring me now? Youre really clueless, arent you?

Why? Youre saying youre going to hang out with the kids you dont like. Or should I make you the group leader?

Not that, but.

Then were done. Take care of the rest.

What the hell do you believe in?

I dont believe in anything.

Well, maybe my abilities.

Eunha swallowed the words and returned to his seat.

I hope youre sorry now, before I tell my father your name.

Youre going to tell him?

.

Eunha looked back at her for a moment.

Sena looked into those bottomless, cloudy eyes and held her breath.

It was a strange-no, eerie-sensation, and the moment she met his eyes, she felt as if something cold and heavy was squeezing her tightly.

As if an invisible snake was coiling around her and squeezing the life out of her.

A sensation she couldnt describe.

Yes, it was definitely fear. Like when I was a kid and faced the chairman of KK Group in a gathering of all my relatives.

They said.

Hes a crouching tiger.

Im counting on you

Eunha saw Sena tense up, and she was spared. He placed a hand on her shoulder before returning to his seat.

Pfft!

No way! Im scared of him, and hes got nothing on me?

It must be a new species.

Do-hyuk was mildly intrigued,

Shouldnt we report it?

Report.

According to the rules, he had to report every time a high-level monster appeared.

Still, the fifth level could choose not to report to the higher-ups at the discretion of the head of the administration.

Hmm.

But, dont you think we should report it? Its a new monster, albeit a fifth-tier monster.

Wait, wait, wait. Is there really a need to make a big deal out of it?

If he reported the appearance of a new type of monster to the upper authorities, he could already imagine what would happen in the future. The Changhae Clan would assign tasks one by one, such as investigating the new type of monster, accurately measuring its hierarchy, or subduing the monster.

Even if he did manage to capture a new monster and achieve success, it would be completely monopolized by the other officers.

It was better not to report it. As he looked back on his life, nearing his forties, he didnt want to risk his life facing a new type of monster at the fifth level. Besides, Uijeongbu was a maze where other monsters gathered during the process of exterminating monsters.

I wont report it. Thats what I know.

Yes, yes! I understand!

Ugh, this sucks.

After sending the player away, Do-hyuk lit a cigarette and furrowed his brow. There were monsters around the building, and he could smell them.

I have to prepare for a retreat again.

When he was first assigned to Uijeongbu, he had cleared out every monster that came his way, but he realized it was a pointless task.

Killing monsters in Uijeongbu was an endless cycle.

Everyone, pack your things and get ready to retreat!

Do-hyuk, who had turned away from the window, hissed with mana.

Downstairs, the savvy players had already packed up. Their equipment was lightly packed and they were ready to leave the building at any moment.

Except for one.

Hey, bunny girl.

Hic!

In the midst of the packed players, there was an Ain that was sprawled on the ground.

Her hair was tousled and dishevelled, her clothes were tugged and stretched, and she wore no underwear underneath.

From the looks of it, I could only imagine what had just happened.

Anyway, these bastards

Do-hyuk sighed and cursed.

Some people couldnt drink or have sex because they didnt know when monsters would jump out, but his subordinates were secretly doing this kind of thing.

He felt like slapping them.

Hehe, would you like to have a round, Commander? This girl gained some weight because she was afraid someone might call her a rabbit.

You crazy bastard. Monsters are attacking downstairs, and you say that? Hey, bunny girl!

Yes, yes!

A blue-faced Ain responded. She couldnt even stand up and was trembling all over.

Sigh

The world that Ain was entering as an outcast from society was mostly the players world.

However, Ain was still a rejected presence even in the players world.

They could be treated the same way as the woman trembling in front of him.

She had somehow managed to join a large clan, but she hadnt met the clans expectations,

Deliver this to the members dispatched to Uijeongbu.

Yes, yes!

On the 9th day of the 4th month of the 3rd year, 16:48, the Uijeongbu Division of the Special Mission Bureau of Changhai Clan will move their base as soon as they receive this message. The current base is occupied by monsters. We will contact you again as soon as the base is relocated, so please maintain combat readiness!

This is Shim Su-ji, a member of the Uijeongbu Contingent of the Special Mission Bureau of Changhae Clan].

Good job, Bunny. You guys, follow me!

Ah, my ears, my ears

Ain was dragged away by her ears, without even having time to grab her pants.

As an Ain without any abilities, she was nothing more than a radio.

Changes have occurred in the monster habitat.

A fifth-rank monster born around Dobongsan.

An unidentified monster has disrupted the ecosystem.

Down, down, down.

Down, down, down.

Monsters began to migrate south to avoid new predators.

Notes!

(1) Bukhansan.

(2) Its not like Im Conan on a crime spree: in this context, it refers to the character Conan Edogawa from the popular Japanese manga and anime series Detective Conan (also known as Case Closed in some English-speaking countries. I LOVE IT!!). The series follows high school detective Shinichi Kudo, who is transformed into a child after being poisoned and takes on the name Conan Edogawa to hide his true identity while he works to uncover the truth behind various crimes. (I recommend it if you are looking for something casual and fun to watch!)
