The day after solving the Net Queen Missing Person Case.
– It’s all thanks to you!
“Aigo, it wasn’t that big of a deal.” – No!
It’s thanks to you, President, that Mia and I were able to reunite like this!
On the other end of the phone was the excited voice of Hunter Yi Kang-ho.
I wondered what was going on, and he said that Ms.
Yu Mia had woken up.
– Also.
It might be a bit sudden, but I proposed!
“Oh?!
Really?
Did she accept?” – Yes!
She accepted!
Mia accepted!
Laughter could be heard from the other end of the phone.
Yu Mia’s voice, telling him not to be silly, could also be heard.
“Congratulations, truly.”
It was sincere.
Congratulations welled up from the depths of my Danjeon.
– It’s all thanks to you, President.
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have found Mia.
That’s right, it’s thanks to me.
“Hey, there you go again.
You were the one who didn’t give up, Hunter.” – You’re so humble, President.
Oh, and I’ve wired the Marriage Success Fee.
It feels good, like I’m getting confirmation that we’ve been properly connected.
“I’m also very happy to hear that you two are together.
It’s at times like this that I feel the satisfaction of my work.” – And I added a little extra as a token of my gratitude.
Mia agreed to it too.
“Aigo, you didn’t have to do that.”
So he knows how to show gratitude.
I usually charge separately for the house call, so it’s a relief he gave it to me before I had to bring it up.
After exchanging thanks a few more times, the call ended.
I immediately check my bank account through internet banking.
[Deposit: 15,000,000 Won]
“Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice-!” “Gah?!”
Sitting next to me, Kim Yang jumps up in surprise.
“B-Boss, are you crazy?” “He knows what’s right!
He sent an extra five million!”
Five million won from each side.
The total Marriage Success Fee is ten million won, and he sent an extra five million.
This must be why people need to play in the Big Leagues.
“Hey, Kim Yang!
Let’s close up for the day!” “Huh?” “It’s a company dinner, a company dinner.” “A co-company dinner?!
Hooraaay-!”
*
The Pig Trotters restaurant we always go to.
Kim Yang said she was going home to change and hasn’t arrived yet.
Instead, someone else was sitting across from me-.
“Auntie!
A bottle of soju over here, too!”
Ryu Seoram, one of the Seven Zeniths.
I called her because of the Pig Trotters I promised to buy her last time.
“You buy the soju.” “Kim Juseon, you cheapskate.
I’m buying the pig trotters, too.
You think I’d let you treat me?” “Noonim!
Thank you!”
A person really does need to play in the Big Leagues.
Just like Yi Kang-ho, isn’t Ryu Seoram’s spending just on another level?
– He hits it!
It’s flying!
It’s flying!
It’s gone!
Home run~!
Baseball highlights were playing on the restaurant’s TV.
It was a scene of the Daeheung Bearforce giving up a home run.
“Ugh, I can’t stand to watch.” “If you hate it that much, stop being a baseball fan.” “But if I don’t watch, I miss it.
What can I do?
This is what it means to be a baseball fan.”
She says it so confidently, but it’s not cool at all.
Kim Yang, the beastkin with fluffy white hair and sheep horns, enters the restaurant.
Unlike her usual clothes, she was wearing ripped skinny jeans and a black sleeveless crop top.
But since it’s cold, she also had on a thick outer jacket.
“B-Boss!”
She said she was going to change, and she really came back in comfortable clothes.
“Are you going to a club after the company dinner?” “Fa-fashionista.”
As Kim Yang sits down, preening, Ryu Seoram frowns.
“What, you called someone else?” “Kim Yang.
She’s an employee at my agency.
It’s nice to eat together.” “Ah, hello!”
Kim Yang bows her head.
“Her 3rd Floor speech is a bit awkward.
It’s not that she’s dumb, though.
And she doesn’t have any bad intentions, so just bear with her.” “Seems like it.”
Ryu Seoram takes a sip of soju.
“B-Boss.
Wha-what kind of meat is this?” “It’s pork, so don’t worry and eat up.” “Pork?” “Ah, you don’t even know basic words?
I told you to keep studying vocabulary.
Oink oink, you don’t know this?
A plump pig.” “Ah, oink oink?
I know.
The one that looks like the Boss.” “…”
Watching from the side, Ryu Seoram burst out laughing.
“Hey, what’s this?
Are you a boss who’s scared of his employee?” “Don’t even start.
Just because her salary was a little late-.” “Three days.
Three days.”
Look at her correcting me immediately.
“Three days is a bit much.” “Ri-right?!
A-and!
The-the first company dinner was at a lamb skewer restaurant!
I’m a sheep!” “…Are you crazy?” “Ah, that was a misunderstanding!
It was originally a dak-galbi restaurant, but it closed down and a lamb skewer restaurant opened in its place.”
The atmosphere mellows as drinks are exchanged naturally.
Kim Yang stops drinking and holds out her phone, saying she forgot something.
On the screen were the personal details of someone I’d never seen before.
“B-Boss.
A client came before we closed.” “Oho, not bad at all.”
He’s a man, and his face is at least a B-Rank.
It was taken with the office camera, but since Kim Yang is so good at taking photos, I’ll need to see him in-person.
His profession is a Tower Inter-floor Guide.
He was a travel guide who showed people from other floors around the 3rd Floor.
