“It’s a surprise! “Why are you suddenly screaming and making such a fuss?”
“you… . you… . really… . are you crazy?”
“What? you? are you crazy? How can this be subtly speaking informally… .”
When Park Da-yeon screamed, Yeon Hye-rim momentarily covered her ears and frowned. She raised her eyebrows with a twinkle in her eye at her continued verbal abuse, but she soon looked at Park Da-yeon’s face and trailed off.
Currently, Park Da-yeon’s face clearly shows a complex and subtle glow. Yeon Hye-rim blinked her eyes three or four times, as if she was embarrassed by the current situation, and then stuttered.
“no… . I really didn’t say anything. It’s just that we used to be friends at the academy… .”
“… What exactly did you say? “Say it exactly, exactly.”
“Just come back to the city and bring some vagabonds to our clan… . A convocation will be held soon, so please attend… .”
In response to Yeon Hye-rim, Park Da-yeon let out a heavy sigh. But as if she had no time for this now, she quickly lifted her head and began to run quickly up her stairs. Hye-rim, who was left alone, looked at Da-yeon Park with her shy face, and then she slowly followed behind her.
The place that Park Da-yeon ran to was Han So-young’s office. She swung open her door without knocking, and as soon as she entered, she began to tell me all about Yeon Hye-rim’s atrocities.
Han So-young seemed uncomfortable at first, perhaps offended by the fact that she came in without knocking. However, as her taunt progressed, her expression changed little by little, and she showed the usual ’embarrassment’ expression on her face. Ever since she took on the true name of ‘Steel-Blooded Queen’, it was an emotion she rarely showed.
After hearing the whole story. Soyoung Han let go of the record she was holding with a slight sigh. She then quietly opened her mouth as she saw Yeon Hye-rim coming in from outside the door.
“Yeon Hye-rim. “Is it true what Dayeon said now?”
“… “No, that’s it.”
“It’s true?”
“… huh.”
Han So-young cupped her forehead with both hands. For a moment she pressed her forehead and then spoke in a voice tinged with fatigue.
“You really… . How can you be so stupid… . There’s already so much to do, so why do I keep making things happen… . huh?”
“me… . It really didn’t mean anything bad… .”
Yeon Hye-rim must have felt that the situation was not so easy after that, as she looked through the records piled up on Han So-young’s desk and muttered in a hushed voice.
Strictly speaking, the meaning of Yeon Hye-rim’s actions is not wrong. That’s the original rule itself. The representative clan is in charge of trials for vagabonds, and looking at the current situation, it seemed like a good idea for the Mercenary Clan to participate in the summons.
But words are different, and they are different laws. In short, it was a question of method. This means that there are minimum procedures that must be followed between parties.
The most important thing here is that the Mercenary Clan is not an affiliated clan of Istantel Row, and that it is a free mercenary clan. No, affiliated clans are not treated like this either. No matter how many rules and situations there were, the primary rights over vagabonds and deciding whether or not to participate in the summons were the exclusive authority of the Mercenary Clan, which no one could infringe on.
To sum it up in one word, Yeon Hye-rim’s actions were based on the close friendship she had at the academy and completely ignored the necessary procedures. In other words, it was an action that would have been considered very unpleasant from the Mercenary’s point of view, and it was a huge disrespect.
“What should I do?”
Park Da-yeon opened her mouth in a weak voice. Then, Yeon Hye-rim, who had only been paying attention to her until then, answered cautiously.
“I know what I did was wrong. Then wouldn’t it be okay to just say sorry? “You don’t seem like such a narrow-minded person.”
“And again.” And then, to cause another accident… . Anyway, if only half of the brains used in battle were used on a daily basis… . Anyway, it’s natural to apologize, so just try to apologize for something like that.”
Although it was an obvious statement, Park Da-yeon shook her head in a sarcastic tone. Because Yeon Hye-rim was so unique in her actions and speech, she was too anxious to leave her like this.
There was a bit of silence like that. Han So-young took her hand away from her forehead as if her throbbing head felt a little better. Then, looking at the two people standing there in fear, he quietly opened his mouth.

I wasn’t surprised to hear that there was a user visiting for the first time. He thought that Seung-Woo Cho or Ye-Ji Koo might come visit since there were users who showed a deep interest in Mercantile throughout his trip.
However, the employee told me that a client had come to visit. In a situation where the Western Continent was currently being invaded, the request was honestly unexpected. However, my interest was piqued, so I quickly broke up the meeting and asked my employee for guidance.
Eventually, when I entered the reception room with the guidance of the employee, I could see a female user dressed in a neat robe. And the moment the woman raised her head and saw me, I stopped for a moment.
“hello!”
“Ah yes. hello.”
The woman was a user I knew well. Of course, not in the second round, but in the first round.
“Are you a Mercenary Lord?”
“yes. “I am Mercenary Lord Kim Soo-hyun.”
“Aha~. Are you younger than you think? Anyway, nice to meet you. “My name is Lord Hyeon Seung-hee of the Starlight Clan.”
With a lively smile, Hyun Seung-hee suddenly extended her hand to me. I suddenly grabbed her hand, but I still didn’t understand why she came to see me. She didn’t remember the details, but at least the Starlight Clan was not a clan currently active in the south.
In no time, many questions arose within me. Anyway, since it was worth listening to the story, I offered Hyun Seung-hee a seat and sat across from him.
“I heard you had a request.”
“that’s right. Oh, am I by any chance your first client?”
“That’s not it.”
“Ah, that’s a shame.”
Hyun Seung-hee showed a truly regretful expression and crossed her legs in a relaxed manner. She then clasped her hands together and placed them on her exposed thighs and continued her words with a bright smile.
“Does Mercenary Lord know about me?”
“yes. To some extent… . “As far as I know, you are the only user who has tamed a unicorn.”
“yes. But it’s not the only one anymore. “Not long ago, another user came out who tamed a unicorn.”
It was clear that I was the person Hyun Seung-hee was talking about. It had been a long time since the baby unicorn was brought in, so it was natural for the rumor to spread throughout the country. Anyway, for some reason, I thought it had something to do with baby unicorns. When I nodded to indicate that I should continue speaking, Hyun Seung-hee smiled an alluring smile and slowly began to talk.
The Starlight Clan was originally an affiliated clan operating in the western city of Halo, and was one of the many clans that participated in the Iron Mountains expedition. However, the failure of the expedition caused great damage, and Hyun Seung-hee was barely able to escape with his life with the help of a unicorn. Afterwards, while he was trying to somehow regain his power, the invasion of the Western Continent began, and after Beth and Dorothy were helplessly captured, he decided to leave Halo.
“So you withdrew from SSUN’s affiliated clan?”
“Yeah, well. To be honest, there wasn’t a single thing I liked after the expedition. Last time, they brought in a large number of new users as a user development plan, but didn’t they make them leave behind? Beth and Dorothy sent a request for help like that, but wouldn’t they cut off the warp gate? And now you’re coming directly to Halo, right? We call each other for countermeasures meetings every day, but nothing is getting better, nothing is getting better. So I left my foundation and everything behind and ran away to Monica. “I really felt like I was going to die if I stayed there.”
Hyun Seung-hee grumbled very quickly, perhaps because of the enormous amount of dissatisfaction that had accumulated so far.
“Anyway, you may criticize me for being cowardly, but please look at me kindly. There are a lot of users like that now. “How dare you do that?”
“I don’t think it’s cowardly.”
I answered clearly and looked at Hyun Seung-hee. As I was feeling right now, I wanted to ask about the situation in the western city and other things, but seeing that he had lost his appetite, it seemed like he didn’t want to talk anymore.
“Anyway, now I will tell you the actual details of the request. “Actually, it’s hard to call it a request, but I have no other place to ask for it than the Mercantile Clan.”
“It’s probably about baby unicorns.”
“I like people who are quick-witted. that’s right. I told you earlier that I was able to survive the Iron Mountains expedition thanks to a unicorn, right? At that time, the unicorn helped me even though I was seriously hurt in the end. Fortunately, we both came back alive and were able to heal the unicorn’s wounds. But since then, the child has been unable to move at all.”
Hyun Seung-hee must have truly cared for the unicorn, and for the first time, darkness appeared on her previously smiling face.
“I don’t know if you know, but unicorns are emotional animals. I’m not sure if it’s because he saw the clan members who cared for him die, or if he simply can’t forget that sight. Anyway, I was able to heal the physical wounds, but I can’t see a way to heal the emotional wounds. So, I want to let you meet the unicorn at Mercenary.”
“You’re trying to find a cure by having me meet a baby unicorn.”
“yes. Unicorns have a very strong sense of kinship, right? “I think that if the two of us meet, something new may come out.”
It certainly made sense, so I quietly lowered my head. As if Hyun Seung-hee thought my reaction was approval, he suddenly changed his attitude. Although not severe, she was wearing clothes that exposed a bit of her flesh. He held her hands tightly together and bent her upper body slightly to expose her cleavage, and she opened her mouth with an earnest expression.
“therefore. As a user who has tamed a unicorn, I would like to ask you a favor. “Can’t you help me just this once, even if it means saving the life of a poor child?”
Before I knew it, the word ‘request’ had changed to a request. Hyun Seung-hee definitely had a pretty face and a good body. She also had top-notch skills in seducing men. However, I already had a high performance that was no different from the ultimate leader in such matters(?). Because she had a very relaxed mind, she was able to answer calmly.
“I know that feeling well. Moreover, he personally came here to request it, and I have no intention of refusing it. “As long as the compensation is certain, I will gladly accept the request.”
At that moment, I could see Hyun Seung-hee’s face turning pouty. I laughed to myself.

The clan house has been very busy lately. The clan members’ actions could be described as quick, as if they had read my desire to move quickly at a meeting a few days ago. And the instructions I gave were being carried out one by one.
The clan house I was looking at now had residents coming and going more frequently. Ha-yeon Jeong drew up an estimate in one day, and that day he visited the residents who had built the clan house and asked them to do the construction. Soon after, they brought me the blueprints and construction costs, and I approved them right away. As a result, construction was able to begin as of yesterday. It could be said that Jeong Ha-yeon did a neat job.
I calmly stared at the residents walking back and forth between the lobby and the basement, then suddenly raised my head and stared at the rooftop. This is because the vagrants could not be confined and played during construction, so they were temporarily moved to the rooftop.
Ko Yeon-ju, who was watching the vagabonds, seemed to be looking down at the same time and our eyes met. After responding by gently waving her hand to face her, this time she went inside the clan house and walked up to her third floor.
As I entered the warehouse on the 3rd floor, I could see the equipment laid out in the hallway and each Goose Appraiser order form attached to it. Ahn Hyeon, the old man, Shin Sang-yong, and Baek Han-gyeol were working hard to organize their equipment without knowing that I had come.
After looking at the scene with a happy heart for a while, I walked back to my office. I thought about stopping by the workshop since I couldn’t see Vivien much these days, but I thought that going there for no reason would only be a distraction.
Eventually, I arrived at the office on the 4th floor, sat down on the desk chair, and quietly lost in thought. Everything was going smoothly. Since I’ll probably be able to complete everything soon, it was time to think about my next move.
It was the moment I took out the record and quill pen with the intention of briefly summarizing what would happen in the future.
smart.
“brother! Are you inside? brother!”
With a knock on the door, I heard Lee Yu-jeong’s voice desperately looking for me.
“come in.”
When I told them to come in, the door burst open, and I soon saw Lee Yu-jeong, who had a somewhat urgent look on her face. She quickly walked in front of me, and immediately opened her mouth.
“brother. “I’m in big trouble.”
Yujeong Lee has been having fun with my entourage these days. At first, I just had him as an attendant to get a closer look, but I thought he was more capable than I thought and was quite good. However, there was only one downside to jade. That was to say that something big happened even when it wasn’t a big deal.
“huh? “What’s going on?”
After placing the record I had just taken out on the desk, I leisurely turned the quill and asked. Then, Lee Yu-jeong moved her neck once and opened her mouth in an angry voice.
“I came from the Istantel Low Clan. “That too from the clan lord himself.”
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
It’s August 26th. The semester is finally starting. Many people were worried because I had full credits. My heart is pounding for no reason. (Lectures are scheduled until late afternoon four days out of the week.) I’ll have to face it in person to find out, but I’ll do my best. thank you _(__)_
『Reripple』
1. Cheetos: Congratulations on first place. ah. If it’s a close match, are you talking about sudden attack? 🙂
2. Red Wilderness: It is often pointed out that the pace of development is slow. Those who want the story to unfold quickly or to see the content they want to see quickly will probably find it frustrating to go through each and every detail. That’s why I think you’re saying that it’s dragging on, that it’s not necessary, so why did you write it? Of course, there are people who disagree with that. 🙂
3. Retire: As I mentioned before, it will take quite some time for the eggs to hatch. 🙂
4. Myeongbakjjang’s Yang Yang Harmony: Please save me. My brother said that to me today. You look like a dead person. lol.
5. Pineiro: There are people who want to quickly see the handling of equipment and Baek Seo-yeon. However, the idea of when such a scene will appear has already been completed. Among the content that comes before, there are some parts that are connected to the content being planned later, so it is a bit difficult to omit it altogether. We would appreciate it if you could wait a little longer.
6. Little Hero: I’m jealous. I am the type of person who gains weight when I eat and loses weight when I lose weight. ㅜ.ㅠ
7. Blamy: I think it’s probably because there was a part omitted in the middle. I should have written it well so I could understand… . sorry. ㅜ.ㅠ
8. Latina doll: Haha. Shin Jae-ryong has not yet joined, but is staying at Mercantile Clan House courtesy of Kim Soo-hyun. 🙂
9. Sunsets: Thank you. Park Da-yeon is a character I personally have affection for, so I feel grateful that people like her. ㅜ.ㅠ
10. Gamjatteot: There are some people who have already been decided to be recruited at the end of this war part. I think there will probably be quite a few men coming in as well. 🙂
