Chapter 24: Earrings
"You still haven't left? "
"I'm swamped."
I walk the curtain, and the camera comes in first.
"They're disrespectful. "
"That's what reporters do. "
"Treasury duty tender."
"You rotten things! They're killing me! "
"Well, what do I do? "
Each of them had a serious face to discuss, but the original party, Guardian, was not very interested.
"Leave it. You said it was their job. "
The Guardians thought they were like a swarm of ravens following a predator.
"No, sir. It's not time for you to be like everyone else. Journalists are persistent. "
"Then what? I didn't ask them to come. They did. "
Unlike other animals, the species of man has a wide variety of lives.
How can an individual change the ecosystem of a civilization?
"If I don't have anything to eat, I'll leave. "
"Or I could just give it to you, roughly. "
Dongsoo carefully suggested.
"Huh?"
The Guardian glances at the brooks.
"Well, there's a way. "
The downside is that those who have tasted it will keep coming.
"Well, I'm in the mood. "
"Huh? Where are you going? "
"To interview you. "
The guard opens the door that was locked.
"Huh? Where is everybody? "
Just a moment ago, there was a crowd of 20 journalists standing everywhere and a black car.
Tuck.
The passenger seat door opened and Kim Mi-su, head of the Premier Care Team, stepped down.
"I disbanded them all. "
"Are you a reporter, too? "
"No, I'm here for something else. May I come in?"
"What if I don't?"
Clan offices are your domain.
Kim Smile sighs lightly and opens the back door due to the harsh reaction of the guard.
The figure dropped from there was surprising.
"It's been a long time. "
"Kim Jeong-kook?"
The Guardian returned to Earth first and spoke to him.
Bald doctor Kim Jong-guk smiled.
"All of a sudden, can you invite me and these people? "
The guard, looking at the sliding, turns halfway through and opens the door.
"A friend's visit is always welcome. Come in."
"Phew."
Kim Smile, who sighed lightly, was surprised when he came in.
I've been to a variety of decorated and clan offices, but I've never been to one of these.
"What's that statue? "
It was clumsily decorated in one corner, making it feel more like a cult.
"It's her hobby. I like to mutter in front of them. "
The fingers of the guardian point to the bright spot.
Myeongjin joined us quietly.
"Let's call it a temple. "
"Well, yeah. He likes to bow. "
That's the monk with the wide incendiary device I saw on the video.
Kim Mi-su's gaze stayed on him and reached Dong-su.
'Useless.'
That's what this is about.
I didn't think there was a streamer around.
In addition, I saw a man, nephew, and grandmother who looked like a dear patient's sister.
"You must be Mother. "
"No, I'm a secretary. "
"... Yes? "
Did you hear wrong?
In Kim Mi-suh's report, the defender confidently said.
"Don't you know your secretary? I'll feed you and answer your phone. "
No, what does your secretary cook for you?
"Phew, that bastard. We got company. What are you doing? "
Lee Sook approached and smiled closely at Kim Mi-suh and Kim Jeong-kook.
"Take a seat. Maybe I'll get a car. "
"Oh, yeah. "
Sitting at the table, I find a warm barley tea.
I'm working. I think I'm an assistant Why did you hire Grandma?
Having a cup of barley tea with a stark question, he looked at Kim Jong-guk, drinking hororok tea.
"I tried to go last time, but she wasn't at the hospital? "
"A doctor can't always be in a hospital. You're teaching at the same time. "
Kim Jung-kook's eyes widened.
"Oh, my God! It's Doc Son. "
At the same time, I glanced at the Guardian.
"Tsk! Don't get cocky just because you make good money! "
The Guardian smiles in relief.
"He's a friend."
"Haha, that's right. I decided to be friends with the Guardians. "
"What a waste. What a strange thing to do. "
Kim Jong-guk who looks old and the blue looking guardian are friends, so I didn't really understand the Lee Sook's thinking.
"High, the old man sat unnoticed. Let's talk."
Lee Sook left on his own, but Kim Miso couldn't open his mouth.
A breached first-floor space.
Myeongjin is carefully cleaning up his idol.
On the one hand, Dongho is doing something about setting up a noisy computer like a Internet cafe, and Junho and Gunho are watching TV.
This is the first time a clan office has ever been so unified and individually decorated.
"What? Is this a secret? "
"It's more for you than it is for me. "
"It's okay. Just do it. "
Kim smiles flawlessly and sweeps around again.
Do you believe me? '
I don't know the inside of the Guardian, but he says he's fine.
"Let's formally say hello. I'm Manager Kim Mi-mi from the Awakening Care Department. "
I gave him a business card.
"Your patient management team? "
"Let's observe and evaluate noble patients like you."
"What?"
"What are your tendencies, preparing for immigration abroad? "
"Why do you ask? "
"Because it matters."
Guardian recalls the most recent words he heard.
"Because it's irregular?"
"That's one reason. "
Irregular is also a major deviation in combat power, but the Awakening itself is an important national force. There's no reason to be happy about spills to foreign countries.
"Then what is it about? "
Managing your patients is important enough to operate a separate organization in your country.
"Do you know the other name of your patient? "
"I don't know. "
"Coordinate man."
" ...? "
Inter-dimensional cracks occur frequently.
A dungeon will create a door portal, but another problem is the collision between planets with equivalent dimensional energy.
Planets overlapped by cracks send and receive signals from each other.
"When you returned to Earth, did you take the red portal? "
"That's right."
I said everything in my consultation with Kim Jeong-kook.
"The conditions are established by Mr. Park Su-ho coming through that portal to Earth. "
Your patient's safe return itself is a successful signal.
A two-way dimensional passageway opens along the unilateral signal.
"The portal will reopen. Bridge portals that work in and out of each other. "
"Where?"
"Around the coordinates. "
The guard points his finger at you.
"Me?"
"Yes."
"Hmm."
The expression of protection is getting worse.
"I've been thinking about it for a month. "
"Yes?"
It takes longer to live there than on Earth.
It's because there are no people, it's not that there were no friends.
The moments you can't shake, my friends.
It took me a long time to come back from all that.
If there was a way to go back and forth, there would be no problem.
"So when does that happen? "
Team Leader Kim Miso tilted his head and showed me statistics on the question of where the excited guardian was.
"Usually within a week, 99 days at the latest. "
"Oh."
It's not that far away.
I'm so excited to see those hairy bastards again.
I feel excited to hear about my abandoned hometown.
"You bring good news. "
Don't know why, but Kim Mi-su carefully opened his mouth because the guard's reaction didn't look bad.
"If the portal is connected while Mr. Park is traveling abroad... it's a huge loss for Korea. "
We're losing the connection to another planet.
"Moreover, the Bureau estimates Mr. Park Su-ho's return planet to be a new planet. "
The planet Aruca, with the most patients of noble origin.
There were just as many bridge portals as there were, but the Republic of Korea was also connected to three sites.
"If we're right, South Korea has the only Fourth Planet Bridge portal. "
"Is that why you came? "
"Yes."
"Why didn't you come sooner? "
"Yes? But first we need to find out about Mr. Park's personality. "
Kim Mi-soo recalled that the return of protection had taken place in 10 years.
"You don't know about Lee Sung-woo. "
"Sung-woo? Who is that? "
"No.1 in current world ranking. He's Japanese."
He was originally Korean.
At the beginning of the upheaval, the government had imprisoned and detained the nobles under protective custody, only then was there insufficient information about Iregular, and at the time of his return, Seong-woo, who was a Class D Awakener, left the facility too easily.
He was devastated by the Japanese government, and then he moved to Japan.
At present, the Gate of the Ninth Planet, which exists in Tokyo, was created by Lee Sung-woo.
Despite his gate, his value of personal power alone accounts for 5% of Japan's military power is unimaginable.
With that in mind, the South Korean government was establishing a veteran management team under the Bureau of Administration, and was using remote observation and reflexes.
"Wow, I guess I'm happy, too. "
"... It's the government's fault. "
I wasn't in charge at the time, but Kim Mi Mi wasn't really going to defend the government at the time.
"So what's the point? "
"A video from a streamer has already released some information about Mr. Applause. "
Fortunately, with Kim Mi Soo's swift response, all counseling between Cho and Kim Jeong-kook has been deleted.
Just looking at the streaming of the East Water, I'm just excited about Irregular.
The remaining problem is that we will try to make contact in several countries that covet foreign dignitaries.
It was also why Kim Mi So came to Buria.
"Let me know if there's anything you want from the government. "
"Anything?"
"Common sense. "
"For free?"
"There's only one demand. Stay in Korea for up to 100 days because you don't know when the portal will open. If there is an omen, head straight for the nearest field. "
I understand not to go abroad.
"Why the field? "
"There's no information beyond the gate. "
There is a risk that bridge portals connecting between planets can be breached immediately without latency.
A matter that cannot be decided based solely on the advisory history of advocacy of hostility or friendship to mankind beyond the portal.
"Okay, there's only one thing I want. "
"What is it?"
"Guild, and your own realm. "
"Hmm."
It would be easy to tell if you wanted money, but the guild is another matter.
A disaster if you put an unqualified clan in the guild, put a small town in a realm, and then break a dungeon.
"Oh, you don't have to worry. I'll take care of it. "
Areas are not set by others.
Being wholly your own when you take it with you.
Kim Mi sober proposed a compromise.
"What about fields? "
"Huh?"
Fields are areas managed by the Department of Defense.
Clear. No obligation. The dizzy portal simply waits for the brakes and sweeps them away with enormous firepower.
"Settle anywhere. I give you the right to portal within your realm. There's no mandatory clearing there. If there's a high-level dungeon, the Department of Defense will take care of it. "
"Oh."
The guardian who watched Kim Smile for a long time said on the terms of Gumi's appeal.
"You're trying to clear your debt. "
"A deal."
"Hmm."
Team Leader Kim offered several additional benefits as the defense seemed concerned.
"The Protection Clan. No, I'll waive taxes for 10 years after I get promoted to a guild. "
"How far to the Realm? "
"As far as the line is concerned. "
Defensive smiles at the target conditions.
"Good. Let's make a deal. "
"Let's write it down. "
Kim Mi-suh quickly took out the contract.
It was a 'Defensive Pact' between the country and the mercenary companies needed for the clan to become a guild.
Thick content is three.
1. Protection stays in Korea for 100 days.
2. If you see signs of portal creation, head to the field immediately.
3. The state guarantees the guardian an intact guild area within the field.
The burden of dense details was borne.
"Dongsoo, come and read it. "
"Yep!"
Dongsoo, who was listening this way earlier, quickly approached and examined the contract.
I asked him, looking at his smiling face.
"Oh, I didn't ask you anything important. "
"Yes, ask. "
"How do you know if there's a portal? "
"An agent specializing in detecting cracks will be dispatched to the Bureau. Be sure to stick around for at least 100 days. "
Kim smiled strangely.
