“Yes It’s a letter of resignation”
“Aheain “Please tell me if I or anyone else in the association has made you unhappy I’ll try to fix it”
“No! It’s nothing like that”
“Then, is Seo Jun-Ho bothering you…?” If that was the case, he’d go and strangle him
Cha Si-Eun smiled faintly and shook her head “No On the contrary, I feel indebted to him because he always treats me so well”
“Then, why?”
“Do you happen to remember the first time I came here?”
“Of course I do” It had been one of the most memorable days ever since he beca was broken inside of me”
“Yes” shi+oals or ai a lot that day, wasn’t it? You were completely drenched To be frank, I was a little scared of you”
The two chuckled amidst their reminiscence
“President, you kno much I respect Specter-nim”
“Of course”
“I’ve never told you this, but I respect you as much as him”
“I didn’t know I’enuinely surprised by her words
“You were the only person that helpedThe only reason I came here was that I wanted to work under you I always admired how you tried to improve how Players were treated,” Cha Si-Eun said
“Haha… I feel embarrassed by all your compliments” shi+m Deok-Gu scratched his neck
Cha Si-Eun smiled and continued “I had a short conversation with Seo Jun-Ho-niood advice, and I feel like someone had hit my head with a hammer”
“What in the world did he say?” shi+m Deok-Gu was astonished
“He spoke with the same confidence and determination as he always does But… it helped s I realized how childishhad been”
“Of course not You’re one of the most mature people I know” shi+m Deok-Gu shook his head
“Thank you Anyway, after I spoke to hi time about ere my motivations back then”

Those are the eyes of soet it’
As such, he could only offer her his best wishes “Congratulations You’ve finally found your path”
“Thank you,” Cha Si-Eun replied
“May I ask what you plan to do?”
“It’s really nothing big,” she said shyly, staring at her orange juice “I want to try again, with a different mindset from before”
“For yourself, rather than others?”
“It’s quite selfish, isn’t it?”
“Of course not Actually, I wish you’d be rateful as she twisted the ring in her hand “I wish to work under Jun-Ho-nim until he advances to the 2nd floor Please keep our conversation a secret”
“Alright”
“And… Can I return this artifact when I resign?”
“Let’s do that” shi+m Deok-Gu nodded
“I’m really sorry”
“No I was alorried because you looked like you were trapped I’ain” His words were sincere shi+ on Cha Si-Eun’s finger “I suppose I’ll be hearing about the Schuain sooner or later”
“P-please don’t tease o, there had been a faion on the 2nd floor She had lived her whole life helping others But when she truly needed aid, no Players or Guilds had answered her call
‘They even manipulated her so that they could make money’
The only one that had helped her in earnest had been shi+m Deok-Gu Sadly, he hadn’t even been able to help her properly because the Korean Player association had no influence on the 2nd floor
‘She retired after that, full of betrayal and regret’
That day, it rained as if the sky had been pierced through
