< It’s a Scam >


“Suddenly why… a broadcast?”

It was really out of the blue. But the snake across the table didn’t seem to think so.

“What I mean is that we should make your face certainly known.”

“…Wouldn’t the opposite of that be better for my personal protection?”

“No. At any rate, once the negotiations are over, not even one day will pass before information about Yoojin-ssi will spread across the world. There will be no use trying to hide you.”

I was expecting that, but hearing so from others, I felt worried anew. Various crimes where Awakened People with low stats and useful special skills were the targets flashed through my mind in a row.

How much would my worth be?

“So, it is safer to make it so that many people will be able to recognize you. It is far more difficult to approach someone who everyone is paying attention to, rather than the opposite.”

It was indeed true. If I came out on TV or something and received a lot of interest, the amount of watching eyes would that much increase.

“Even if you happen to be abducted, the possibility of being contacted by a witness would be higher as well. ‘Why is a Haeyeon Guild member in such a strange place with people from other guilds’ and such.”

“I’m not a guild member but an employee. A normal employee.”

He was sneakily trying to treat me like a guild member.

“Hahaha, Yoojin-ssi feels so close that you really do seem like a guild member. Isn’t there a sense of distance with a normal employee?”

“You musn’t discriminate.”

“You are correct. Whether you are a guild member or a normal employee, we are all one family. Han Yoojin-ssi is also our family.”

“…But please make a distinction.”

As expected, dealing with this ahjussi was tiring.

“It would the first time for a cute looking monster to appear in a broadcast, so it would be easy to draw in interest. Moreover, you mentioned Peace is quite charmingly cute?”

“He’s good and cute and lovely.”

Now he had also gotten quite cool. He didn’t look like an adult yet but his mane became more abundant and his tail also got longer. And his horn shone gold.

Whoever’s house’s kid he was[1], he was quite good looking.

When I unconsciously smiled, pleased, Suk Simyeong followed suit and smiled, pleased. Why were you smiling? And while looking at me, at that.

“Because of confidentiality, I can only start after the negotiations are over, but I will throroughly draw up a schedule ahead of time. Please believe in and leave it to me.”

“Department Head Suk’s capability for handling matters is trustable. I will be relaxed and wait.”

Of course, I only trusted his ability to handle matters.
