Episode 53
“What kind of Conan are you?”
Are you causing trouble wherever you go? Even part-time job interviews are not smooth sailing!
“If you think it’s strangely, strangely noisy, it’s because of you, you damn nemesis! Why did you even come here?”
A barrage of nagging pouring in.
The rhythmic, delicious, and ceaseless rushing was definitely not the result of a skill that had been practiced for a day or two.
The Babylon guild members watched the unbridled guild leader and his older sister with the feeling of eating popcorn.
You, come out! The 14th floor, where I stormed in with force like a chaebol male lead in a drama and brought him out.
Unlike the angry and irritated Gyeonjirok, the listener has a very calm expression.
‘It’s a Tibetan fox.’
‘It’s like a Tibetan fox. It’s almost reached the realm of that.’
Even though the desk position being filled through this announcement is under his direct control, and even though it is a surprisingly high spec for a desk position.
It was a stroke of timing that the news was immediately relayed to the guild’s owner, Gyeonjirok, before the final interview was even over.
“What’s so funny about all of you gathered together?”
“Oh, Mr. Domi. That’s not it. There’s a fuss downstairs right now.”
“What’s the fuss?”
“Today is the secretary team interview. Here, look at this. It’s a copy of the resume that was just uploaded.”
Domi looked over the resume I handed over with curiosity. Let’s see. Oh. Oh, Class B? The name is…
“uh?”
“Why are you like that?”
“No, wait a minute. This name… … ”
“Ah, your last name? Right, it’s the same as your boss’s. I thought it was a rare last name, but it’s a strange coincidence. As expected, Domi-nim has a keen eye for detail. We’ve been busy talking about ranks so far.”
Oh no. It’s not that surprising to be a coincidence.
Domi’s hand, which was eating peanuts, stopped. His memory circuits started to turn. It was a conversation from a certain day.
“Even though Gyeonjio lives thoughtlessly, he does think about his family a little bit.”
“Your sister’s name was Geo.”
… … A huge hit!
Domi immediately ran into the boss room.
“So? That person is the real leader sister?”
“It’s quite different from the image I imagined.”
“Didn’t you say they were born only eleven months apart? They should look alike, but they don’t look alike at all.”
“That’s right. My younger brother is a deer, but my older sister… … is a baby. Wow, they’re in completely different categories.”
“Watch your mouth. You’re going to hear Siscom.”
Bam. A pile of documents falls down on the heads of the whispering guild members.
Sasejong, who had roughly cleaned up the messy room, walked towards the siblings who were still meowing.
“There are eyes watching you, so why don’t you go home and do the blood feud?”
No matter how comfortable it is, this is not your living room.
Sa Sejong, who was handing over a glass of water and calling attention to the matter, meant to tell people to drink cold water and take care of their stomachs.
Thanks to this, the fever has subsided a bit. I can also see my surroundings.
Kyeonjirok slumped down on his chair and scolded in annoyance.
“Everyone get out.”
“Okay. Go out and take care of business. Don’t be like the soldiers who gathered to watch their older sister visit her younger brother and be a sullen old fart.”
“I’m sorry, hyung.”
“……me too?”
The right arm questioned with a slightly resentful expression, but Gyeonjirok nodded without mercy. Yeah. You too.
After everyone left, the two of us were left alone in the room.
With a rough hand, Kyeonjirok swept up his bangs.
“What are you thinking?”
“I sang a round song every time I said I needed a part-time job.”
“Ah, that’s… …! Don’t you know what I’m talking about? Let’s say the guild members are like that. There’s a big gap between you and me. But those guys from the heavens.”
“Do you know how often they come and go here? Just a little while ago… … That’s enough. Or are you just trying to reveal your identity now?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Then why!”
Geo, who had been spread out on the chair, sat up straight. He clasped his hands together seriously.
“If not here, it’s Gangwon-do.”
“… … ”
“It is too bitter to leave this world like this, my younger brother.”
“… … ”
“I’m confident I’ll never get out of bed. I swear. Joe is a veteran in this field.”
“ha……”
“I’ll just take care of the food and transportation expenses. Then I’ll just sit quietly and diligently.”
That damn JoJo-chung… … My head hurts.
There was a 100% chance that it was a stress-related migraine. Kyeon Ji-rok groaned and covered his temples.
“… …What are you going to say to your mom?”
“Even a three-year-old knows that Babylon doesn’t hire civilians. Let’s say you work. Then your mother will find out where you are, and it’s natural for her to know this is the place. What excuse do you have?”
Geo opened the air without saying a word.
With a snap of his fingers, a piece of paper lands in Gyeonjirok’s hand.
What is this?
“… … Special recruitment notice for civilians for a temporary desk position at Guild Babylon in 20xx?”
This kid even forged documents… …?
It’s even more embarrassing because it’s so terrifying.
The words ‘civilian special recruitment’ were naturally incorporated as if they had been there from the beginning.
“You’re a homebody who can’t even open a word processor except to play games… … Did you spend any money? Who did you hire?”
“No no. Take a good look.”
So I saw it well.
And I was amazed.
Looking closely, it wasn’t the text that was written on a computer. It was magic. The control was so detailed that it was scary that you couldn’t even feel a single bit of magic.
‘Crazy talent… … ‘
“I already told Mrs. Park everything. I said that if I passed the exam, I would work part-time to help pay for the academy and show my filial piety, so she sent me some meat soup.”
‘Somehow X.’
From the ironed shirt to the neatly aligned headband that exposed the forehead.
I thought that this was an outfit that I could never wear with the mentality of a third-time repeater.
‘Was it made by mother… … ‘
I have the illusion that I see a vision of my mother waving a tear-soaked handkerchief.
Contrary to his appearance, the heart of Gyeon Ji-rok, the most filial son in this area, fell like autumn leaves.
So the situation seems to have been sorted out.
Reception number: Na021, Kyeonji-oh (in his own way) somewhat bowed down and asked with the attitude of a humble applicant.
“So… … Boss, do I pass?”
* * *
Maurim, a member of the Babylon secretary team.
His nickname is Commander Ma.
As is the case with most people nicknamed ‘Inspector’, he was a man with a very strict temperament.
A person who detests waste of supplies, is absolutely prohibited from being late, and believes that slacking off on work is punishable by death.
In that sense, it could be said that he has met his natural enemy these days.
“Where did Mr. Kyeonjio go again?”
“I’m in the meeting room. I just came in with a tray of drinks.”
“What? Now? When did you get here? You just came in?”
“You’re a little slow, Mr. Geo.”
He seemed to be the only one here who was bursting out in laughter among the secretaries and supporters. Chief Ma’s chest pounded.
“Are you laughing right now? Is work a joke? If the youngest is lacking, you should think about scolding and teaching him!”
“Hey, why are you like that? You’re cute. You’re working part-time anyway.”
“That’s right. He’s still a fluffy baby. It’s so cute to see him struggling while holding a tea bag. Anyway, I told you he’s strict, Headmaster.”
‘These… these… these… conscientious philistines!’
It’s not even cute, Nimi.
Manager Ma knew full well how cold-blooded those foxes were towards new employees who couldn’t do their jobs. Territorial behavior was a given, and subtle bullying within the workplace was an option.
There’s a whole truckload of kids running away with tears and a runny nose. But.
‘You too are useless in front of a parachute.’
The incident that occurred in the interview room a few days ago has been spreading like wildfire for a long time.
Everyone is keeping quiet since the guild leader has issued a direct ban, but there is already everyone inside the guild who doesn’t know about it.
Even though Korean society is a very cramped society where everyone knows everything just by crossing a few bridges,
Neither a simple acquaintance nor a distant relative.
‘Boss family… … ‘
They are said to be sisters who grew up almost like twins, having been born in January and December of the same year.
Rumors had already spread that he was being treated with great care.
“He didn’t even reveal his name because he was so fond of her, so only a few of his closest associates knew about her this time.”
“I heard. Even though Domi and his closest associates heard it, they thought he was an ordinary person.”
“Well, I have no experience whatsoever, and the Young Boss has strictly prevented me from doing anything related to Hunters, so if we really have to be specific, I’m just like an ordinary person.”
“It’s polar, it’s polar.”
“But at first glance, doesn’t the child seem a bit fragile? The youngest I saw last time was tall and healthy. The older sister is so small and frail… … It’s understandable that she’s overprotective. I understand.”
“Well, from the perspective of a young boss, I guess he would feel that way even more if he were to look at it from the perspective of a strong person like himself.”
“But how did you get so many B-grades? When I looked at the tray earlier, it looked like it would fall over if you hit it.”
“Could it be that Young Boss got you a license for self-defense purposes?”
“Hey. Write a novel, a novel.”
“But it makes sense.”
Haha hoho.
Thanks to that, whenever we get together these days, we’re busy gossiping like it’s an apartment complex party.
When one person started talking, they all gathered together like sparrows in a mill and chattered.
‘It’s the end of the world. The end of the world.’
It wasn’t even a normal parachute, but the family of the most powerful person in the guild, so the fire didn’t seem to die down.
There are three types of people: those who are simply curious, those who think that it can’t hurt to look good, and those who think that if you do well, you might get some beans.
Everyone was going about their lives according to their own tastes, but Ma Sa-gam was the only one who kept his head up high.
‘The country must also maintain its military discipline. Like a noble crane that is not tainted by the dirty world.’
“Ah, Mr. Geo is here.”
Director Ma stood up, slamming the desk hard.
“Hey, Mr. Kyeonjio!”
A gorilla is better than a crane.
With his chest puffed out and his face crumpled into a fierce expression, Chief Ma approached Geo with a stomp.
“Are you really going to do things this way?”
“yes?”
“I would say that preparing refreshments is a part that requires meticulous attention to detail, even if it may seem trivial!”
“ah.”
“How long do I have to repeat the same thing until you understand? This is something that a senior should do!”
“Oh, sorry… … ?”
“I’m sorry! Next time, make sure to leave important work like this to me, your senior!”
Our precious lady, are you hurt anywhere while carrying this heavy object?
Quickly snatching the tray, Manager Mar dusted Geo’s shoulder.
20 years of working life. It was a tearful lesson from a salaried worker.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
