CHAPTER 60:
It was raining on the day of the gate-clearing, so the sky was very cloudy. A car stopped in front of the guild through the humid air.
“Good morning.”
Park Geon-ho, dressed in a combat uniform, rolled down the driver’s window and winked at me. Disgusted, I asked, “I heard a driver was coming… Are you the driver, Team Leader?”
“The best driver ever. Get in.”
It was quite far from here to Area N23, so there was no choice but to get a ride. I got into the car, dragging Kim Woo-jin, who was staring at Park Geon-ho.
“Oh. The car is different from last time, Team Leader.”
“This time I got a new one. How is it?”
“I don’t know much about cars, but… this looks great!”
“Right?”
Park Geon-ho and Min Ah-rin, who sat in the passenger seat, chatted amicably. As I watched, I passed a lollipop into Kim Woo-jin’s mouth, who seemed unhappy all the time. It was a snack I received from Min Ah-rin earlier.

Over an hour later, the guild members and Woo Seo-hyuk were waiting for us to enter the N23 gate together.
“Team Leader!”
“Team Leader’s here!”
“Team Leadeeer!”
When the guild members who had gathered together saw Park Geon-ho getting out of the car, their eyes flashed as they rushed over. I flinched at their force without realizing it, but Park Geon-ho only spoke with a tired look on his face.
“What is it now? You guys haven’t even entered the gate yet; what happened this time?”
“Lee Dong-joo (이동주) used his powers on me! Look at this, it hurts!”
“Park Min-jae (박민재), this bastard, left behind the snack bag he prepared yesterday!”
“How disgraceful, Dong-joo. The bastard that gets hit first should accept defeat.”
“Dong-joo is just like that. But to leave the snack bag behind… I put my chocolate in there, too.”
“Ah, Team Leader. Hurry up. It’s annoying watching them arguing.”
“Did you see the expressions on the healer team’s faces when Lee Dong-joo and Park Min-jae fought? They were really very pitiful. They have to stay with them in the gate for the next three days. If it were me, I would be embarrassed and run away.”
Ten stocky guild members began to pour out a huge amount of words around us. It felt like my ears were being attacked.
“But, Team Leader, who are the people that came with you?”
“Oh, I know him!” The man named Lee Dong-joo looked at me and shouted, “SS-ranks in both hands!”
“Pftt—” At the same time as my expression darkened, Park Geon-ho, who was standing next to me, burst into laughter.
“Ah~ That A-rank mercenary? So it’s true?”
“Hey. So you’re Han Yi-gyeol, right? It’s nice to meet you.”
“Shake hands with me, too.”
“Ah, right…”
I received handshakes from all over the place one by one. The corners of Kim Woo-jin’s eyes, who was watching, became sharper.
