Episode 193
Although he overthrew the military government of Kim Moon-kwon.
There was plenty of work to do.
About half of Hwanghae Province is lost land.
It is an external world where monsters form their own territories and form an ecosystem.
Gate nuclear extraction and civilian protection.
To rebuild a collapsed civilization, many human and material resources were also needed.
‘I don’t like troublesome things here.’
The original purpose has already been achieved.
The military, which had ties to the black society, was brought down and the doctor was captured.
This expedition was fortunate in many ways.
There was no reason to stay in Hwanghae any longer.
As soon as I decided to leave, Kim Bo-seong, who took charge of the expedition’s general command,
went to visit
“Senior. I would like to ask you for the rest.”
“You talk like you’re about to leave at any moment.”
“Yes. I’m going back to Seoul.”
“This place is still very unstable. Still
“I need more of your strength.”
“I’m thinking of going back to the tower.”
My will was firm.
Godhood gained by defeating Asmodeus.
In order to handle the power appropriate for the increased level,
We must become stronger.
“This is… I suddenly found myself in charge of cleaning up after it.”
Kim Bo-seong grumbles briefly.
Contrary to what he said, he didn’t look unpleasant.
On the way back to Seoul.
Martin accompanied him next to him.
“Oh my. What are you going to do if you leave me and go alone?”
“I’m going to trust you.”
Martin had excellent administrative skills.
An expedition in which several guilds participated.
Even though various organizations came together, it was possible to operate smoothly without any major problems thanks to Martin’s hidden help.
“Who am I? Of course, I hired a replacement.”
“who?”
“Hehehe, I’ve called the head of the New York branch. He’s not as good as me, but he’s quite capable.”
“Are you already ready to go down?”
“Because something happened.”
“Is this so urgent that we need to change the person in charge of the expedition?”
“It’s still classified. Hmm.”
A stocky guy.
You keep your mouth shut, which is unusual.
I was returning to Seoul after joining the association’s supply unit.
Just as I was crossing the Unification Bridge to the south of the Imjin River, a tree caught my eye.
Leaves blooming on tree branches.
“Even though it’s winter, leaves have managed to grow.”
“This guy doesn’t know how time passes.
Guman.”
“huh?”
“It’s already March. Even though it’s still cold, it’s spring.”
After hearing Martin’s point, I looked around.
Leaves were blooming on dry branches.
Next to the roadside, unknown weeds were blooming with flower buds.
Trees and flowers that have overcome the cold spell and are growing again.
After a harsh winter, spring has finally arrived
It was an appearance that made me realize that I had arrived.
Rice #:
Returned to Seoul after almost 3 months.
For the first time in a long time, I was able to get some real rest.
It removed old dirt and relieved my tense body.
A house that also serves as a training center.
Harin, the construction manager, placed shower facilities, saunas, and massage equipment.
Almost everything could be solved at home.
“I guess I can live now.”
As I soak in the hot water, I feel like my fatigue is melting away.
In my previous life, I bathed in the blood of the enemies I defeated in the middle of the battlefield.
By the way… I wasn’t in my right mind back then.

After a long rest, I went to the Interstellar Alliance.
I kept the promise I made to Ellie to ask when the armor for my younger brother would be finished.
It was for the sake of
however.
I heard amazing news.
“It looks like the person in charge of the Yongsan branch will change.”
Martin’s bombshell remark.
It was a shocking story.
“Someone else is taking charge of the Yongsan branch?”
“Yes. An official appointment has not been made yet, but it will be sent down to the official line soon.”
Sudden change of branch manager.
The Yongsan Branch of the Interstellar Union was the most important of the many branches on Earth.
Close to the tower.
Both Pandemonium and Elysium are places of interest.
‘You’re changing the person in charge of that important branch without even talking to me in advance?’
The position of Yongsan branch manager was much more competitive than other branches.
Being assigned to another branch…
It is a clear demotion.
Anger began to creep in.
Martin was a member of the Interstellar Alliance, but he was also mine.
I didn’t mind criticizing this pudgy guy, but I couldn’t stand it when other people underestimated him. One
“What’s going on? Your complexion is dark…1
“Martan.”
A tight tone.
The voice was full of chills.
“Ah. Yep!”
“This greeting. Is it related to the expedition?”
“I guess so. Hehe.”
also.
If you are suddenly demoted, there is only one reason.
As I thought, it seems like he is stepping down in the form of taking responsibility for the excessive investment in the expedition.
“Tell your superiors. If you demote the head of the Yongsan branch, you will be considered a free mercenary and a naval, and think about severing ties with me.”
I meant it.
It is my opinion that talented people should be treated accordingly.
In particular, Martin and Ellie were the ones who helped me both materially and spiritually from the very beginning of my life as a hunter.
‘I don’t understand.’
Martin’s administrative ability was extraordinary.
I had met many people in my past life, but there were few who were as competent in administrative matters as Martin.
It was difficult to tolerate a talented person being treated unfairly.
“Uh, uh, Mincheol Hunter. I think there’s a big misunderstanding right now.”
“It was a misunderstanding or something. I was demoted for that reason.
Does that make sense?”
“No. I wasn’t demoted.”
huh?
For a moment, I couldn’t understand Martin’s words.
“If the branch leader is replaced, he will be demoted. That’s also considering the value of the Yongsan branch.”
“Aha. You misunderstood that again.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“The position I have been assigned to this time is district level management.”
“……wait for a sec.”
Dimensional overview.
This is a high-ranking position in the interstellar alliance that leads to executive level.
“You mean you became an executive of the Interstellar Alliance?!”
“Haha, lucky me.”
Martin smiled shyly.
Normally, I would have scolded him to stop laughing, but I was so shocked that I forgot to say anything.
After he laughed, there was an awkward silence for a while.
The shock I received was that great.
After a while.
“crazy••••••
I came to my senses while swearing briefly.
“Did you look so serious because you thought I was being demoted?”
“Ah. Since they said they were replacing the branch leader, I thought it was natural.”
“You’re mad because of me!”
“Oh, no. Nothing like that…
“Whoops. I’m so touched, Martin. You always just beat yourself up, but inside you’re thinking like this!”
“No. So shut up, man!”
My face felt hot.
If it was a good thing, you should have talked about it without stopping.
Why do you cut people off mid-sentence and mislead people?
after-
I sighed briefly and cooled down my overheated body.
damn.
I feel like I lost a huge amount of money.
“No way, this is also the time when the expedition manager was changed.
“Is it because of greetings?”
“Yes. The position of district general manager was vacant. It was decisive to be recognized for the results obtained from investing in this expedition.”
“Then it’s all thanks to me.”
“Hehehe. If you want, I’ll buy you a drink.”
“What about alcohol? Don’t forget me because you are a high-ranking person.”
“How could I forget Hunter Min-cheol? He was the culprit of success.”
After speaking.
It was blatant flattery, but I felt bad.
didn’t
Martin’s promotion.
It was very encouraging.
On the other hand, I was a little worried.
‘There aren’t many partners who work as well as this guy.’
All minor tasks have been left to the Interstellar Alliance.
If my successor doesn’t handle his work smoothly or takes a different route from me, it will be quite annoying.
“I hope the new branch manager is also someone who is good at his job.”
“He’s quite a capable friend. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Hey. I have a pretty good eye for people, right?”
“Hehe. He said he’d be coming soon to take over the handover, so wait a little and see my face before you leave.”
“Sure.”
I sat down facing Martin.
We were talking about work, including when my younger brother’s armor would be completed.
smart.
Someone knocked on the door.
“I guess you’re here now. Come in.”
The tightly closed door opened, and a woman came into the office.
She is a woman with short hair, a face with light makeup, and a neat suit.
“Oh my. Was Hunter Mincheol also there?”
When the woman made eye contact with me, she immediately spoke with a happy expression.
“Uh. It’s been a while.”
I waved happily.
It was Ellie who entered the office.
‘But where is the successor Martin spoke of?’
I said hello briefly and glanced through the slightly open door.
There wasn’t even a shadow, let alone a person, in sight.
“Martan. When will your successor, who said he would arrive soon, arrive?”
“Didn’t you come?”
“No. Don’t play around.”
“Ellie is my successor.”
Wait.
I turned my head left and right and looked at Martin and Ellie alternately.
A mischievous smile appeared on the lips of both of them.
“Hoho, my name is Branch Manager Ellie, who is now in charge of the Yongsan Branch of the Interstellar Alliance. Please take care of me.”
Ellie bowed her head gracefully and bowed.

After a storm raged.
I changed places.
The new branch leader… I mean, Eli and
I had a private meeting at a cafe.
We sat across from each other at a round table.
When I looked at Ellie’s big eyes, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“haha.”
“Are you very surprised?”
“Of course I was surprised. There are several surprises today.”
“The internal personnel changes were confirmed yesterday. Some things were rushed… I’m sorry for not being able to tell you in advance.”
“I’m sorry, but you were smiling earlier?”
“Hmm. I didn’t expect you to come today. The circumstances were just right.”
I was worried that I would be busy today, so I deliberately made no plans and visited the Interstellar Alliance Building.
Somehow I ended up becoming a loser.
The more I talked about it, the more I felt like I was losing money, so I didn’t pursue it any further.
“By the way. Give me your hand.”
“You should listen to what I asked you to do last time.”
It was a strange request to wear a bracelet if I returned safely from the Lost Land.
all.
Ellie opened her mouth in surprise.
“Did you remember?”
“Then did you think I would forget?”
Ellie pursed her lips and slightly lifted her shirt that reached her wrists.
Thin wrists.
The pure white skin was clean without any blemishes.
I opened the storage box and took out the bracelet I purchased last time.
Click,
I wrapped the bracelet around Ellie’s wrist and latched it.
The cafe lights reflected on the white gold bracelet, making the border glow softly.
“Wow, such a gift. I don’t know when I last received it.”
Ellie slightly lifted her bracelet-covered wrist and looked at it with deep eyes.
“Like it?”
“Of course. It was a gift from someone.”
That being said, I like the gift.
I can’t tell if it’s a courtesy or not.
‘I’m glad you’re happy though.’
It was the only income I got from walking around the department store with Minjeong.
“By the way. I have something to give you too.”
“What? It’s not like a gift to commemorate the branch president’s inauguration, right?”
“Hohoho, it’s not that trivial. I promised you last time too.”
ah.
He said he would give me a gift if I got out of the tower safely.
It’s been so long that I forgot.
Ellie put her hand in her pocket and took out a leather case.
“What’s this?”
“It’s no fun if I tell you. Check it out yourself.”
How great of a thing must you have prepared for that kind of reaction?
I reached out to the black case with curiosity.
