Meteor (流星), Yu Yena.
Just the appearance of the woman who vied for first or second place in firepower even among the Seven Zeniths was enough to throw the club into a state of panic and chaos.
Until a moment ago, everyone had been an enemy, but now, as Yu Yena stepped forward, people parted to either side.
Yu Yena’s ability was psychokinesis.
Psychokinesis itself was a common ability, but her output was on a fraudulent level.
Watching her fight was like witnessing a scene where meteors seemed to pour down.
Poke, poke.
“B-Boss.” “Hm?”
Kim Yang poked the unconscious Geum Taemin, who was being dragged along by psychokinesis.
“Di-didn’t you say you’re not on good terms with th-that person?” “That’s right…
Didn’t this man just say that?
That she hated you so much she didn’t issue your hunter license.”
The two of them stared at me, looking curious.
How was I supposed to explain this?
I glanced at Yu Yena, but she was just heading quickly toward the exit.
She wasn’t showing any reaction at all.
She must have heard everything.
“Well, Geum Taemin didn’t know the full story.
He just jumped to his own conclusions.” “Th-then, is it true you were the top student, Boss?” “Hey, that must be a lie too, right?
If you were the top student, it means you beat that woman, how is that possible?” “That part is true.”
As I answered immediately, my pride wounded, Lenea patted my back.
“Oh dear!
There’s no need to be so prideful.
You were plenty cool today.” “…”
I wanted to say something back out of sheer absurdity, but we had already arrived outside the club.
Maybe because we had been inside, the cool night air ventilated my entire body.
Outside, police cars and people from the Hunter Association had already flocked over, surrounding the club.
After handing Geum Taemin over to the police, Yu Yena walked over to us.
“There shouldn’t be any problems.
I can’t deal with Baekdu Pharmaceutical right away, but they’ll definitely be put in check.
I’ll make sure to hide your identities.” “Thanks.” “I was just doing what I had to do.”
She spoke coldly with an expressionless face, but that was just her usual expression.
It didn’t mean she was angry or annoyed.
“…Don’t get involved in dangerous things.” “I know, I know.
I didn’t mean for this to happen this time either.”
When I briefly explained why I came here, Yu Yena gave a small nod.
It seemed she understood that this was a case of getting caught up in something.
Nothing more, nothing less.
We had finished talking, and I figured we would just have to undergo some questioning by the police.
But Yu Yena was still standing there, fidgeting.
“…Is work…
going okay?” “Work?
It’s fine.
It’s my true calling.
Meeting people is fun too.
Though there are a lot of peculiar people and troublesome customers.”
Thwack.
Feeling called out, the old woman hit my back.
“Right, you’ll probably undergo some light questioning.
But don’t worry too much.
I’ll talk to them.”
Though she changed the subject a bit awkwardly, Yu Yena turned and left, as if she had nothing more to say.
“Alright, should we get going now?
Even if the questioning ends quickly, it’ll probably be dawn…
Let’s go get something to eat at the gukbap restaurant.” “B-Boss.” “Hm?” “A-are you really just classmates?”
A question from Kim Yang, with her good sense of smell.
For a moment, I held my breath and considered hiding it.
But that would just look even weirder.
It would seem like there was something still left between us, wouldn’t it?
So, I just.
Decided to be honest.
“She’s my ex-girlfriend.”

A few days later.
“E-excuse me.
Is this Meracle?”
Just as I finished interviewing one person, another Beastial entered the office.
Kim Yang expertly greeted them and guided them to a seat.
“We find your miracle.
Welcome to Meracle.”
I had her practice the greeting so many times that she delivered it perfectly without stuttering.
That was already the third person today.
And all three were Beastials.
‘Yu Yena, I can’t thank you enough.’
Apparently, quite a few Beastials were involved in this incident, and some were even being forcibly abducted.
Thanks to that, the news has been abuzz lately.
Seeing that there was no mention of us at all, it seemed she did a good job of hiding us.
No, she didn’t just hide us.
I heard from the first Beastial who came that the Hunter Association had recommended our Meracle, saying it would be good to try a new encounter for a new start.
Yu Yena must have pulled some strings.
Thanks to her, Meracle has been bustling with customers lately.
My bank account was getting fat, too.
‘Hehe, this is why a person needs to have strong connections.’
Even if it’s the lowest membership tier, Basic, it’s still 1 million won.
[20,721,000 Won]
My bank balance, which had been steadily increasing since I received the marriage success fee last time!
‘Did my financial luck turn?
Should I buy a lottery ticket?’
They say there’s a time when money just flows in for a person.
Is it now?
Is it right now?!
Humming, I checked a file.
The file of ‘Esteemed Client Yi Cheolsu,’ who could be considered the starting point of this whole incident.
He’s probably on a date with the lioness Beast-person I matched him with right now.
It’s fine even if it doesn’t work out with the lioness Beast-person.
I had plenty of other Beastials to introduce him to.
‘I hope it goes well.’
Even if the world laughs at you.
Meracle, at least, will cheer for you.
