"Well, I am..."

I had to think about this thoroughly before I could even give a reply.

The kind of answer I wanted to give was quite obvious. Of course, I didn't want her to gain any more power than what was necessary, but I also didn't want to show my contempt for her.

It wouldn't be easy to achieve both, but I decided it was worth trying. I didn't want to give Kim Hyunsung the impression that I was someone who was greedy for power.

'It's a good thing that he's asked for my opinion.'

"Before that, I am curious to know exactly which key position you are going to give her."

| already knew that the position would be for guild secretary, but of course, had to ask again.

"Ah, in fact, I've been thinking about this a lot..."

"Yes?"

"If it's okay, I'm thinking about what it would be like for her to be the guild secretary."

"I'm sorry?"

"The guild secretary."

"Ah... I see."

"That... well, I've thought about it a lot, but I think your life will get a lot easier because of this too. Since you have so many tasks, Hyejin will be able to help

you."

"Hmm..."

"You'll probably be amazed if you check out how she handles things."

"Yes..."

"She has helped in all kinds of aspects that you can't even begin to imagine."

"I see."

Honestly, I was against this, no matter what Hyunsung said. I could also see him nervously fidgeting as I thought about how to respond.

Ah.

I was able to realize why he had on such an expression. First, he could see that I was not happy about it. Secondly, he seemed to feel guilty about trying to place her in a high position without even consulting me properly.

Of course, he was asking me now, but the fact that he was bothered was still evident.

'What a cute bastard...'

My unpleasant expression must have barred his idea of me liking his plan. He must've felt embarrassed to see that I, the star of his supposed gift, did not look happy after opening the present he had presented.

No, he must've noticed my discomfort as well. By this point, Kim Hyunsung must have realized that he had made a mistake. That was because he was not a stubborn type of person.

My unpleasant face blocked his idea of me liking this or agreeing or being happy about it.

I didn't know how Hyunsung had failed in the first timeline, but thanks to that, he seemed more attuned to his party members' psychological and physical conditions.

'Especially about mine.'

That had been made obvious to me as I remembered his devastated expression back when I was asked to go to the Holy Empire - Kim Hyunsung was not a dictator.

Though he was our Guild Master, he acknowledged his shortcomings and knew when he needed help from the people around him.

What mattered was the fact that I was one of the people he looked to for advice.

'That's right.

After assessing him carefully, I began to speak.

"I do not know..."
