"Hey, pass me a glass of soju."
'Is it even that far?' Ji-young thought.
"... Pup."
'Pup. Is that what you call other people?' Ji-young thought.
Despite his harsh thoughts, Ji-young carried the rice on the tray with no expression. He shuffled back and forth with all of those cheap dishes on a stainless steel tray.
Ji-young, who appeared neat, had his shoulder-length hair tied up.
He did not grow his hair to look pretty, nor did he tie it up for style. He had a messy appearance, but because his face was so neat, people only assumed he was too busy to tie up his hair.
Ji-young works as a guide and a helper for the anti-government military 'LEEAK Unit'.
However, there was another reason for his nickname, 'Sojujan'. This was due to Ji-young's limited guiding amount.
Guides are limited in the amount of guiding they can do.
Guiding is produced in the production organs that spread beneath the spleen and lymphatic system, and just as organ abilities vary greatly from person to person, so do the guides' abilities.
And Ji-young is a guide with poor guiding abilities.
However, because the anti-government army has always had a shortage of guides, this was still a good thing, so they kidnapped a young Ji-young.
He didn't have parents to raise him, but he was born because someone gave birth to him. Ji-young, who was raised in an orphanage, was abruptly abducted while he was enviously watching his schoolmates purchase tteokbokki from a vendor.

From then until now, even at the age of eighteen, he has been guiding and doing odd jobs for the anti-government LEEAK Unit.
The further away from government territory, the more valuable his guiding becomes, but even in this region, many espers were dissatisfied with Ji-young's guiding, so his life has been rather dull.
However, this was fortunate for Ji-young, who disliked making contact with others due to his mild myelopathy as well as his avoidance and lack of affection.
The espers, who were tired of his small stature, have given up on his guiding and wouldn't even touch him.
Ji-young subsequently changed. Rice, soup, side dishes, and even blended coffee for dessert. You have to do things like that to survive in this terrible place.
"Look at the sluggishness. Why didn't you arrive sooner?"
The espers preferred to have their guide near them. It was like that when Ji-young first arrived at the LEEAK unit.
Even though Ji-young was young, some perverts tempted him to date his "elders" when he grew up.
However, all of this occurred before Ji-young received his F-rank status.
When they realized Ji-young was an inferior guide, they immediately withdrew their proposals.
Though it was comforting that the espers here, where human trafficking of captured guides is common, did not even sell Ji-young,.
They must have assumed that he would've made a small amount of money even if he was sold because he is such a bad guide.
LEEAK's unit, which had previously performed well, has been declining significantly over the last three years.

This is because the new commander of the government unit, whether it was the Spring Rebellion or the Chuguk, has always suffered crushing defeats under his command.

He is not sure if they were making a lot of money from the trafficking of guides, but their funding was cut short due to the raid on the guide concentration camps in LEEAK.

As a result, LEEAK found itself in a situation in which some terrorists were forced to work as casual workers to earn money.

He is not even sure who they are, but those enemies are good at their jobs. How does Ji-yeong, who lives as a parasite by clinging to the lower class of the lower class, survive?

Normally, in such large-scale clearing operations, useless tails like Ji-young are severed first.

However, instead of expressing his displeasure, Ji-young calmly placed the side dish in front of Esper, who was speaking to him. The food in front of him wasn't even moving. Still, it was disgusting for him to see it getting eaten entirely at once.

They must have heard him swearing in his head, and Ji-young looked to see if Esper was attempting to trick him.

"Why do you keep staring like that?"
