Everyone was looking at Seo Kang-rim as if they were looking at a savior. Among them, the only one who was calm was Kang Do-hyun. He calmly shook hands and said.
“Seo Kang-rim Hunter, thank you for coming to help. Starting today, you will be tasked with subduing awakened criminals, exorcising demons, and handling other civil affairs.”
At first glance, it sounded like he was going to treat them mercilessly. Seo Kang-rim glanced at the people who had been turned into zombies and nodded.
“Yes. I was given a brief explanation in advance.”
“Then, please go and change into your uniform and get down to work right away. I would appreciate it. Deputy Yoon Gyul-woo, I will show you around.”
“yes!”
Yoon Gyul-wool’s face was full of smiles as he jumped up from his seat. He chattered excitedly as he led Seo Kang-rim to the locker room.
“Wow, Master. It’s so nice to see you after such a long time, and I’m even happier that you came to help us!”
“Are you very busy with work?”
“This is absolutely mortal.”
Yoon Gyul-woo said with a deep sigh. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, it seemed like it wasn’t just a joke. Just a moment ago, Yoon Bom was like that too.
After arriving at the changing room, Yun Gyul-woo continued talking while looking for a suit that fit Seo Kang-rim’s size.
“I really wanted to ask for help from you a long time ago, but Team Leader Kang Do-Hyeon wouldn’t give me permission.”
“Brother?”
“Yeah. I wouldn’t ask Seo Kang-rim for help even if I died! What’s the big deal? I’d rather call Dokgo Jun.”
From Kang Do-hyeon’s perspective, he was unable to solve the problem on his own, so he was reluctant to ask his younger brother for help.
However, in recent times, the number of awakened criminals has increased and the size of the protectorate has decreased, so they have no choice but to ask for outside help.
That’s why I sent a request for cooperation to Bihomun, who was my partner, and it just so happened that Seo Kangrim came.
“Well, if it’s you, hyung, then that’s possible.”
Seo Kang-rim was calm because he knew Kang Do-hyeon had a strong sense of pride. In the meantime, Yoon Gyul-woo took out a suit and handed it to him.
“Okay, this should fit. Try it on, Master.”
“okay.”
Seo Kang-rim quickly changed his clothes in the locker room. He felt awkward and unfamiliar in a suit, so he adjusted his tie several times and went out.
“Is this okay? Isn’t it weird?”
Yun Gyul-wool, who had been waiting, looked back at Seo Kang-rim and opened her mouth wide. When he didn’t say anything, Seo Kang-rim asked with a puzzled look.
“Why? Is it weird?”
“No. It suits you so well… … .”
Tall and long, with long legs. The black suit suited him so well that it seemed as if it had been Seo Kang-rim’s from the beginning.
Seo Kang-rim, who usually dresses somewhat casually, looked even more unique and attractive.
“Can I take a picture? I think I should send this to Suah.”
“Send it only to Shin Soo-ah. Never send it to Dokgo Jun.”
After hearing that it was cool, I couldn’t help but want to show it to my lover.
As Seo Kang-rim stood there awkwardly, Yoon Gyul-woo took a bunch of pictures, changing the angles.
And then he put the camera away with a satisfied look on his face.
“Okay, then I should send it to Sister Suah. Oh, there’s a problem here too.”
Yun Gyul-wool handed him the half-mask, the symbol of the Protectorate. When he put it on, half of his face was covered, making it hard to recognize him, but his original good looks were not completely buried.
Yun Gyul-woo muttered softly while looking at it.
“Ah, even though he’s my master, I’m still so angry… … .”
“What are you so angry about?”
“No. I wore the same suit, but there’s this difference… … Oh, wait a minute. I got a reply from Soo-ah.”
Yoon Gyul-woo checked his smartphone and his expression became as if he was dumbfounded. He groaned and said,
“Ugh, these couples are nice to look at, but I hate looking at them~!”
“What’s wrong? What did Su-ah send?”
“Take 10 more pictures and send them to me.”
It seemed that Seo Kang-rim liked the look of Seo Kang-rim’s suit. Seo Kang-rim nodded as if he was glad and took off his suit.
“Okay. Then take 10 more pictures.”
“… … No. I’m busy! I have to go on a mission now.”
“But Su-ah wants to see me… … .”
“Oh, we can take it later. Let’s go for now.”
Yoon Gyul-wool came out of the locker room with a tired expression on his face. Seo Kang-rim followed her out, but for a moment he stopped.
That was understandable, as there was a sea of people in front of the changing room. No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like they were trying to use the changing room.
When the messengers saw Seo Kang-rim appear, they let out a small gasp and whispered among themselves.
“Are you really the Seo Kang-rim Hunter?”
“I heard he came to Team 1 as a temporary driver, and I guess it’s true!”
“Wow. This is my first time seeing you in person… …!”
When Seo Kang-rim came to work, even the drivers from other teams came to watch.
In a way, it was natural. Since Seo Kang-rim, who is more famous than most celebrities, came to the company, I had no choice but to come and see it.
“I’m going crazy. You look even better than in the picture.”
“The suit is really killer. It’s a good thing our Protectorate uniform is a suit… … .”
In addition, he was currently dressed in a suit, drawing more attention than usual. Several of the messengers were holding out their smartphones, their eyes sparkling.
“Seo, Seo Kang-rim Hunter! Can we take a picture together?”
“Me too, me too… … !”
Seo Kang-rim pondered for a moment over what to do about this. It seemed like taking a picture would help raise awareness, so maybe it would be better to take a picture.
But there were so many people that it seemed like it would take a long time. Just as I was about to decline, a clear voice was heard from behind me.
“What are you all doing during work hours? Everyone, go home.”
“Gasp, Team Leader Annabi… … !”
The person who appeared from behind was Annabi. Compared to the others, she was short and had a petite build, but her presence was shining here.

When Annabi appeared, the messengers had no choice but to disperse with regretful eyes.
When all the messengers disappeared, Annabi finally looked back at Seo Kang-rim. She was dressed as usual, and had the same expressionless face as usual.
“Hello, Seo Kang-rim Hunter. It’s been a while.”
“Yes. It’s been a while.”
Although there was a business-like exchange of greetings, there was a joy in their voices. That was understandable, since they had known each other since their days as trainees.
Annabi’s eyes were filled with joy as much as her voice. She looked at Seo Kang-rim with sparkling eyes and said.
“I’m glad that you’ve been given the opportunity to work as a temporary assistant manager. If it suits your aptitude, you can also consider a permanent position, so please consider it. And… … .”
Annabi continued speaking, staring intently at Seo Kang-rim.
“I tried to recruit Seo Kang-rim Hunter to our team when he was a trainee.”
“Yes. I remember.”
“The offer is still valid… … What do you think?”
Then and now, Seo Kang-rim was still a coveted talent. And Seo Kang-rim’s answer was still the same.
“Unfortunately, I belong to Bihomun, and I’m here to help Team 1 right now, so it’ll be difficult.”
“I guess so… … .”
Annabi nodded as if she had expected it. Then, after a moment of hesitation, she opened her mouth with difficulty.
“Excuse me, but can I ask you a difficult favor?”
“I’ll listen to it first and then decide.”
Annabi hesitated for a moment before slowly taking out her smartphone. She spoke with a slightly desperate look in her eyes.
“Could you please take a commemorative photo?”
* * *
After Seo Kang-rim took a commemorative photo with Annabi, he left the Protectorate building with Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul-woo. Yoon Gyul-woo was grumbling while driving.
“No, everyone is going crazy. I have to go to work, but you keep holding me back and making me feel like I have to work overtime again… …!”
It was because people gathered in droves upon hearing the news that Seo Kang-rim had arrived. Thanks to him putting on his mask and acting from the middle, he was able to escape safely.
Yoon Bom, who was sitting in the back seat, said with a bright smile.
“But I like it because my master is popular! Don’t you?”
“That’s not it… … . Master, you should get off work early too! What if you have to work overtime after dealing with those guys?”
“Yeah. That’s difficult.”
Yoon Bom also nodded and looked back at Seo Kang Rim. She looked apologetic and said.
“Thank you for coming, and I’m sorry for taking up your time, Master. I’m sure you don’t have time to go on a date with Sister Su-ah… … .”
“It’s okay. Su-ah is busy too.”
As the head of the Bihomun clan, Shin Soo-ah had a mountain of work to do. Seo Kang-rim was helping her by fulfilling his role as the head of the clan.
When Yoon Bom heard that story, she sighed as if she understood what was going on.
“It seems like both of you are always working… … How can I have a date with you two?”
“First of all, shouldn’t we not be working overtime today? Master. It’s been a long time since we’ve left work on time. You’d better be prepared.”
Yun Gyul-woo was smiling, having given up everything. That smile looked like that of a madman.
That would make sense. People tend to go crazy when they work overtime, on weekends, and on weekends.
And as if to prove that, a call came right into In-Ear. It was a communication from the Protectorate.
[A bank robbery has occurred at the Susung Bank headquarters. The perpetrator is an awakened criminal, so the police are unable to respond. Anyone in the vicinity is requested to come to the Susung Bank headquarters.]
“Ah, you awakened criminals!”
Yoon Gyul-woo turned the steering wheel in a hurry, feeling irritated. As he stepped on the accelerator and headed toward the Susung Bank headquarters, police cars, anti-terrorism squad vehicles, and ambulances were already gathered there.
When Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul arrived at the scene, they approached the police quite skillfully and started talking to them.
“This is Yoon Bom, a civilian employee of the Civil Protection Agency. Please explain the situation.”
“Oh, sir, you’re here. The perpetrator is currently holding hostages and is in a siege. He’s threatening to kill the hostages if an armored truck isn’t ready within three hours so they can escape.”
“This is a headache.”
It would be better to just beat the devil when he appears, but it would be difficult to deal with him if he was held hostage.
Moreover, the opponent was not an ordinary person but a hunter. Since it was unknown what kind of special ability he had, it was not easy to respond.
“For now, we have a negotiation expert on standby. But I wonder how far it will go… … .”
“We will also prepare for any contingencies.”
While Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul-woo were talking to the police, Seo Kang-rim was quietly listening in from behind.
After hearing the whole story, he opened his mouth.
“Is it enough to just subdue the criminal?”
“Yes, that’s true, but… … .”
“Then just wait a minute.”
Seo Kang-rim said with a smile.
“I’ll make sure you get off work on time.”
