Episode 60
* * *
At the time when the people upstairs were talking about defending the country and the cause.
The downstairs restaurant was almost like a luxury hotel buffet, as if they were holding a big event.
The world’s strongest man, who was napping in the sun, patting his full belly after catching and eating a whole lobster, was suddenly ordered to go to a logistics warehouse.
“Uh, Mr. Geo. If you’re not busy, I’ll have you go to the Dongtan warehouse for a bit.”
“Oh my. I’m busy.”
“… … Haha. Weren’t you sleeping until just now?”
“I was thinking. Haaam.”
“… … Please just go and come back.”
Kyeonji-oh, who was being pushed around like that, was walking with his eyes half-closed (due to sleep).
Before long, I was nodding off again.
While waiting for the elevator, someone carefully held Joe’s back from behind.
“You’ll get hurt if you keep doing this. Did you not sleep well last night?”
“Ugh.”
“Ahh. Another night of gaming.”
He was about to nod, but then quickly shook his head. He was cute. Baek Do-hyun held back a laugh.
“Where are you going?”
“Logistics warehouse, Dongtan.”
“Alone? How are you going to get there by car? (The magic) will be too noticeable.”
“This.”
Car keys dangling from my fingers.
Baek Do-hyeon shouted in surprise.
“Do you have a license?”
“no.”
「… … Yes? Then what about this?」
“I don’t know. The gorilla gave it to me.”
What the… … This lack of countermeasures… …?
Joe is like that by nature, but that team seems to be in a similar mess.
Baek Do-hyun sighed and took the car keys out of Geo’s fingers.
“I’ll drive. I’m going there too.”
aha.
Now that I think about it, this kid is about five years older than me.
Only then did Geo look at Baek Do-hyun with slightly awake eyes.
And so we arrived at a logistics warehouse in Gyeonggi-do.
“Hey! Over there! Come out, come out!”
“caution.”
Baek Do-hyun grabbed Geo’s shoulder and pulled him towards him. A huge transport cart passed where they were standing.
“Eh, etch!”
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, man. Who’s talking behind my back again?”
Well, it’s just everyday life. Haha.
Gyeonji-oh calmly wipes his nose with an indifferent expression.
‘How messed up must this person’s life have been for gossip to become a daily occurrence…?’
Without knowing what Baek Do-hyun was thinking, Jio walked inside first.
Dongtan Logistics Center is a special management warehouse.
A place that handles only magic stones and items related to Awakened Persons, rather than general cargo.
Because the products were expensive and risky, security was tight and there was a severe shortage of personnel.
“Missing? That can’t be.”
The manager sighed, his hands on his hips. His tired eyes were bloodshot.
“Even if the men here classify it in the first stage, they will check it again later with the magic system. Where did you come from?”
“Babylon.”
“… … Oh my. This is driving me crazy. Well, um. Try going to the unclassified line over there. The blue line over there.”
‘I should have told you earlier.’
Geo calmly took the paper and put it away.
I just don’t want to bother looking through them all.
If you just narrow down the scope, finding missing items won’t be a problem for us.
“Is it resolved?”
“Well, roughly? I guess I’ll have to look it up.”
“Then please call me after you finish your work. I’ll look around the area too.”
“What is Butler Baek looking for?”
“Well… I guess I’ll have to look it up to find out.”
Baek Do-hyun shrugs and smiles.
Anyway, I am very suspicious that he might be a regressor.
Geo clicked his tongue and started walking.
‘Okay. Should I try to digest it?’
[Activation of the unique skill of the Holy Spirit, ‘Library Flower’]
[Specify the area.]
[Do you want to proceed with documentation of ‘Unclassified Line’?]
[The scope of what is to be documented is unclear.]
/Move the arrows to adjust the detail area./
An arrow appears in the air.
Kyeonji-oh narrowed the scope and made his selection with an indifferent gaze.
Then, as if dragging, the selected space surface was colored in a color that only she could see, and data was output.
Chararararak.
It’s long. Geo clicked on the search bar at the top of the document and entered the search word.
[Search – Recipient Babylon].
That was the end of it.
“… … Hey, you from Babylon! I checked again and it looks like it’s missing… … Huh? Did you find it already?”
Gyeonjio, sitting on the box, shook both his feet.
“Yeah.”
“Oh, wow… …! You have a great eye for detail. How did you find it in this corner?”
“I am a bit outstanding.”
“Hahaha. But it’s a bit too big to take it yourself. Right? If you leave it for now, we’ll bring it to Babylon right away.”
“Then thank you.”
The manager apologized repeatedly. Leaving him behind, Geo went out to find Baek Do-hyun.
In the meantime, he went in really deep.
Baek Do-hyun was in the low-temperature section. He was kneeling on one knee and looking seriously at something.
“What are you looking at?”
“……ah.”
It was only for a moment, but Baek Do-hyun was clearly a little startled. He soon got up with an indifferent expression.
“No. Have you seen all the work?”
“huh.”
“You finished sooner than I expected. I’m glad we finished before the sun set. Then shall we go back?”
I continued talking naturally and walked towards Geo, but Geo didn’t move.
I just stand there and stare at him.
Is it because of the height difference that you have to lift your chin?
Or is it because of the cold light in the cold storage? She looks fresher and more slender than usual.
‘The bridge of the nose… … and the lips… … .’
That face as high as my chest.
Baek Do-hyeon, who had been staring blankly for a moment, suddenly came to his senses and took a half step back.
“Why, ahem, why are you doing that?”
“Hmm. No!”
Geo suddenly turned around.
Just pretend you don’t know.
I saw with my own two eyes that he was putting something in his back pocket as he got up… … .
‘Oh my… … A thief at that age.’
Poor regressor guy.
They say the cause of petty theft is lack of affection. So you have to know how to fill your heart, your mind.
Sympathetic eyes swept over Baek Do-hyeon.
‘… … Something feels off.’
Baek Do-hyeon patted my cheek for no reason.
Anyway, the two of them came out like that.
Baek Do-hyeon runs to one side, leaving a message asking them to wait here for a moment.
Geo, left alone, looked around the vast logistics center.
‘Hmm, the sun is still about to set, should I go somewhere and have a cup of coffee?’
I wonder if there’s a good cafe nearby. I should ask Butler Baek to look for one. I was thinking something like that.
Tiring.
One text.
Jiiing.
And then the phone call followed right away before I could even check the contents.
‘Hmm.’
It was an unsaved contact.
I don’t know if it’s a text message, but I usually don’t answer calls from unknown numbers.
‘I don’t know about Gyeonji-o, but Gyeon-geu-rae’s life can’t be like that.’
Since I got a part-time job, it’s been a long time since I became known to everyone.
Geo picked up the phone with a bored expression.
“Yes, hello.”
[“… … .”]
“Babylon Secretary Team, the universe’s strongest, the youngest, the true worker of this era, yes, yes, Kyeon-ye, Geo-pon.”
[“… … .”]
“…….”
Is it spam? I wonder for a moment.
[“… … give me.”]
I listened carefully and heard it.
A muffled sob came from the other end of the phone.
Geo raised one eyebrow slightly. This voice.
[“Help me. Help me, please.”]
“… …Yoon Kang-jae?”
He was an old friend whom I had completely forgotten about.
* * *
“Should I wait here? Or should I go with you?”
“Just follow me. What are you doing in the car alone?”
widely.
Geo closed the car door and got out.
Alley, alley again.
It was difficult to get here, but from here on out, cars were not allowed to enter at all.
Woof woof woof.
Dogs bark in the dark.
On one side is a banner demanding that redevelopment be cancelled, and on the other side is a spray-painted sign that says, “Get out.”
[Seongwi, the ‘Fate Reader’ leaves a review saying that the moon village looks like a movie set.]
‘Yeah. That’s typical of X.’
“Hiya. Look at the scenery, really… … .”
“It reminds me of the old days. The place I lived when I was young was just like this.”
“… … It has charm.”
‘I forgot that the dirt spoon protagonist of the signboard store is right next to X.’
Talullah King Kenjio climbed the steep path.
Baek Do-hyeon followed behind him as he looked around.
“Mr. Yoon Eui-seo… … I didn’t know that so many things had happened while I was on Mars. A swordsman named Baldoje, haha. Yes, that’s right. I’ve heard that name before.”
“Shut up. I brought a real swordsman here, so you don’t have to put on a show of swinging your sword.”
“Is there any need to use a sword in a place like this?”
“I don’t know. But what Yoon Kang-jae is looking for is probably the sub-character Baldoje.”
I don’t know why a guy who thinks his brother is the Magic King is looking for a B-rank hunter.
‘Also, I don’t know where Yoon Ui-seo went and whether Yoon Kang-jae called the number he gave her.’
Anyway, it’s something we’ll figure out little by little.
A house at the end of a long alley. The front door was open without a lock.
“Did you say it was a rooftop?”
“Yeah. That’s what Ga-Hyeon said.”
I ended up calling Seo Ga-hyeon because Yoon Kang-jae hung up in the middle of talking.
It was very fortunate that he remembered well, considering he pretended not to know me at the convenience store.
‘Just make sure it’s not a big deal.’
Are you there? Baek Do-hyun, who climbed the stairs first, knocks on the door.
At that time, Geo was also climbing up.
“… … Baek Do-hyun, come out.”
“yes?”
“Come out.”
Suddenly, the lock was released and the door flew open.
Hwaaak-!
Baek Do-hyeon raised his arm to block it.
Wind by magic.
A wave of magical power radiates from right next to him, sweeps the surroundings strongly and then disappears.
“What is this… … ?”
When I raised my head, there was a hemispherical mark around it.
Outside the circle, there were tiny specks of dust that could only be seen if you focused hard.
Baek Do-hyeon looked around, feeling bewildered.
My pace wizard, standing there nonchalantly, mutters Gyeonjio.
“Drug cleanup complete.”
A guide to proper living for rankers.
