On an earlyof a certain day in April
Hazeline alking towards The Monster's HQ for the first ti while She convinced herself that she was simply out on a stroll, but the truth was, she couldn't ive thatto borrow the power of divine intervention
”…Hmm?”
Now that she was here, though, she noticed that not just the HQ building but the entirety of the Guild's grounds seereat deal The vast site of the Guild already boasted a stunning scenic view, but there were five or six brand-new astructures that she hadn't seen before, and so, she didn't knohich one she was supposed to enter And there were lots of e for work as this was still an early
She hesitantly stood there a bodies of the es where the most of the croas headed off to She could sense a dizzy spell trying to trip her up just noith being surrounded by so many people like this, but soate
It looked like she needed to use an e for a bit, Hazeline carefully fished out her Guild membershi+p card and pressed it onto the sensor
It was then, a loud, auto, [Miss Shenarine, the Guild member]
'The Guild member' Those three damn words
Almost immediately, noisy and lively entrance hall becaathered towards her
Hazeline froze up like a statue in the very posture of pressing the card to the sensor
Although their gazes contained the feelings and emotions of envy as well as adhtened by the fact that their attention was focused solely on her It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this a severe case of agoraphobia…
”Miss Shenarine?”
A female employee approached Hazeline, whose head had simply blanked out
”Ye, yes I'm Shenarine P, please save me” (Hazeline)
Even her tongue had frozen stiff The feht
”Ah… This is TM's HQ building, ma'am You can still enter it if you wish, but… By any chance, are you looking for the Guild's HQ, instead?”
”Yes, yes, yes Right, that place” (Hazeline)
Hazeline pulled the hood down ht next to this employee It couldn't be helped, since there was no one else to rely on except this woman The employee seemed to be a bit flustered, but still, she
”It's over there”
After walking for about fiveThankfully, it was rather quiet around here Letting out a huge sigh of relief, Hazeline finally released the iron vice-like grip on the female employee and lowered her head
”Thank you so reat deal” (Hazeline)
”Oh, no It's alright If you need a guide again, please don't hesitate and give me a call”
Hazeline hurriedly pocketed the business card of the female employee and entered the Guild's HQ There was only one person present, a receptionist, behind the counter in the spacious lobby
Ji—
Hazeline i the pointy tips of the ears, she seemed to be an Elf as well
She seeer than me, so she should appropriately show soht?
As she continued to shoot the glare filled with her own little delusional thoughts…
”Wah, today's training was so tough”
”But still, this much is on the easy side, you know?”
Fro, a group of Knights walked out, their hairs stilland Yi Hye-Rin, the other three were new Guild members
”Uh? Unni? What are you doing here?” (Yu Sae-Jung)
Hazeline was turning around to escape the nised her first and greeted her
”Ah…” (Hazeline)
”She is one of the founding )
Yu Sae-Junginwardly Then, with a brilliant s took Hazeline's hand
”Shall we go and eat together? The cafeteria here )
After she was 'dragged' into the cafeteria in a daze, Hazeline found it difficult to acclimatise to this noisy atmosphere Just how could they be this chatty with one another? Her ears …
”Ah, that's right Miss Shenarine, by any chance, do you knoho this Wizard of Bangbae-Dong is? I've never seen a commotion quite like that one before I hear that scouts fro to find him”
”Ah… I also have no idea who that could be It feels like a fa a fast one, but… But I've turned o” (Hazeline)
The Wizard of Bangbae-Dong was one of the 'hottest' Wizards currently in the Korean peninsula And the reason for that was siot mentioned by the international media It was like, [Grimoires that are perfectly corrected - just like hoith the world of Alcheic as well?]
”That's hoas… But it's okay for you to speak less formally, you know! It's fine for you to not use honorifics, since you're so much older than us”
”…” (Hazeline)
Hazeline really wanted to tell this girl to shut the hell up
”Ah, right Uhm, by the way, Unni… Is it really… no? With Jin Seh-Hahn?” (Yu Sae-Jung)
However, Yu Sae-Jung, as definitely not a Wizard, had so else in her mind
Jin Seh-Hahn
Althoughtopic of discussion a the populace hell, it seemed that people would still talk about him even after a year later, ith the martial art school that took after his na over ten thousand disciples, as well as the UN creating a special award called 'Jin Seh-Hahn: The Hero of the World'
”No, really, it wasn't like that We were… just close” (Hazeline)
”Ah… really?”
”Ng But, still…” (Hazeline)
Seeing Yu Sae-Jung looking disappointed for some reason, Hazeline decided to add in a couple more unnecessary words
”But I still liked him, a lot” (Hazeline)
Suddenly, the lively atmosphere cooled down rapidly Since this wasn't what she wanted, Hazeline quickly waved her hands around while s aardly
”No, no, I' already?” (Hazeline)
Hazeline was busy searching for another topic to talk about, but even she realised her own mistake as soon as the words left her mouth She shouldn't have asked this, for her own sake…
”Oh Yes, Oppa gave it to )
”Wow Really? It looks so expensive!! How much was it?” (Yi Hye-Rin)
While Hazeline ing down the bitterness in hera fuss
”Actually… he personally made it for me There's only one like this in the whole world” (Yu Sae-Jung)
”Seriously? Oh, ht now!! That's an artifact, though, right? What kind of effects does it have?”
”…Well, it i)
”Heok”
This 'artifact' ring certainly possessed one of the most fatal effects for the women folk…
Hazeline quietly bit down on her lips while listening to the conversation She wasn't being overwhelhts, such as I also want one like that
'But I'h…'
…Well, so
Soer, jealousy or envy? Or maybe, all of the above?
”Oh, really? Mm… So that's hoas But, did you know?” (Hazeline)
Hazeline put the spoon down on the table with an audible tap
”The one who met Mister Sae-Jin first was probably , it was me who borrowed him 5 million Back then, he pretty much relied only on my help all the time…” (Hazeline)
No one asked her to say this, yet Hazeline really, really wanted to let this one out of her chest
