”This can't go on” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
These were the first words to leave Ki
”I really, honestly didn't want to interfere with your life here in the Paradise So, I was in a bit of dileive you this or not But now, I can't let you carry on like this” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
She spoke fir on the table It was a palm-sized round, clear crystal
”It's a communication crystal It's made out of top-quality base crystal, so it'll work even when you're in Harao soimme a call first Did you hear me?!” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Seol Ji-Hu allare on her face, he couldn't make his complaints known Unfortunately for him, Kim Hahn-Nah wasn't someone ould take silence as an acceptable reply
”Why aren't you taking the crystal already?!” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Shake, shake
”Uh? Uhh?? How dare you shake your head at me?? You think you're in any position to do that??” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”Well, this is a bit too et your per, that's a bit…” (Seol Ji-Hu)
Seol Ji-Hu cautiously voiced his dissatisfaction, but then…
”No, hang on I' I won't take it, you know” (Seol Ji-Hu)
He hurriedly pocketed the communication crystal as soon as Kim Hahn-Nah's fury-filled face slowly tilted to her side
”…Don't think I' unfair here It's you who broke the promise first” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Seol Ji-Hu didn't knohat to say, then
”You really scared me half to death, you know?! I wouldn't have been thisto ‘Ramman' But, the Forest of Denial? Arden Valley?!” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Kim Hahn-Nah's complexion alternated between red and blue as if she still couldn't believe what happened the longer she dwelt on it
”Not only the farthest point South, you actually went to the border region! It's a miracle that you actually came back alive, you dumb idiot!!” (Kireeht the cup of iced water
‘What the… You too?' (Seol Ji-Hu)
Wasn't she angry because they werelike the old idio the sister-in-lawyou up, Seol Ji-Hu began pouting a bit
”You better suck your lips in, ly She then began gulping down the cold water to cool the rage in her heart burning as hotly as molten metal
What the youth couldn't understand at theKim Hahn-Nah's te down her own cup of iced water?
She gulped and gulped, and then…
”…Hah…”
She softly sighed out, and…
Gulp, gulp!!
”…Fuu-woo…”
She sighed out again
Both wo back down and suppress whatever it was So, all he could do noas to keep his mouth shut and quietly wait
That roans of to to cal to fill herself up with iced water, because Kilasses Only then did she open her mouth to speak
”……Okay, so Why did you coot to the ed to death if he took his time, Seol Ji-Hu hurriedly pulled out the tree-shaped jewellery
”Take a look at this What do you think?” (Seol Ji-Hu)
Ki and so… pretty” (Kile and that, before nodding her head, evidently finding it to her liking
”It's pretty big, but more than that, I can't spot any impurities in it, either From the purity perspective, this is a top-notch ite craftsmanshi+p, any enthusiast will lose their sht as soon as clapping their eyes on it” (Kio for?” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”If you're talking about its value in the Paradise currency, then at the bare minimum, 300 Silver coins, easy If you're lucky, you can even aim for 500 Silver coins, too” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”Okay, what about in Earth money, then?” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”It'd be absolutely enore amount of your ‘achievement points' if you want to take this over there, so I won't recomaze back to him
”Is this why you came to see ood Gimme I'll take care of it” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Ki like this, you'd actually bea loss if you decide to sell it at its face value” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”You mean, you'll be able to use it in soht Don't you worry, though I'll ” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
He wasn't worried about that She was someone who readily handed out hundreds of millions of Won as pocket money, so she wouldn't take the jewellery and run away, leaving him in the lurch Also, the Kim Hahn-Nah he kneas one hell of a sht be able to change the dangerous situation into an opportunity Okay, fine That's that What about stopping by at a temple?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”I' for this ers
”Yeah, sure You're so cool, ain't you” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Kim Hahn-Nah's less-than-ih
”You did all of that, so of course you should get a level-up Did you spend your points?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”No, I haven't I want to use them all up later” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”Good Ah, what's your new Job title, then?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”The Arcane Spearman” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”I knew it, a spearman… What was that?” (Kihtly
”It's supposed to be a unique Job” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”A unique Job? Oh, my What skills did you learn, then?” (Kiht that it'd be better to figure it outsome of my points to artificially learn them” (Seol Ji-Hu)
Kim Hahn-Nah slowly chewed on her lower lip Her expression iht now
”A unique Job, a unique Job, is it…” (Kihtly tapped the table with her index finger, before opening her ure out what your Job is supposed to be Hey, you know, it'll be fine if it happens later, so you should stop by the teain and check out what skills you can actually learn” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”But…” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”I knohat you're going to say Here's what I'h You should at least take a look at those skills so you can use thened to et yourself an inspiration or two in that way” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
What she said certainly et the reason why you want to hoard your points, but skills are a different kettle of fish altogether I mean, if you don't spend your points and don't even learn a single skill, then is there aup in the first place?” (Ki Seol Ji-Hu had completely failed to consider She then quickly reached into her bag again Her coht onceabsolutely mad over there Seriously now” (Kiue in annoyance, before continuing on
”Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”No, I don't If you're that busy, you can go ahead, you know” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”You don't need more money?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”Nah, I'm fine” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”How much do you still have left?” (Kiave ot as the mission rewards, so it's 370 Silver coins in total” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”Heh~eh”
Kim Hahn-Nah showed how surprised she was
”For a reward fro in a ave you a lot, didn't they?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”You think so? I can't wrap my head around it, actually” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”Now let's see The current exchange rate should be around 505 Won for a single Copper coin So, let's round it off to 500 Won, and then…” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Kim Hahn-Nah calculated for a second or two and then opened her ain
”135,000,000 Won” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Seol Ji-Hu's jaw nearly dropped to the floor
”It was thatyour life on the line, so of course you should get at least that h-rank ranker in their midst should easily earn around 100-200 million per mission, you know?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Only then did he truly understand why Cho Hong was in such a celebratory mood
”Even then, you shouldn't just wastefully spend your money, okay? As your level clined for your level Not to forget, the Lost Paradise has been e time now, so the ridiculous spike in prices of so else, too” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
After Seol Ji-Hu nodded to show that he accepted her explanations, Kiot up from her seat
”Thank you for the delicious tea,that racket earlier on when you were gracious enough to invite us in” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”Oh, no, it's fine You did well You seeh” (Seo Yu-Hui)
”Oh, no, Not at all, ma'am” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Seol Ji-Hu narrowed his eyes and stared at Kiles He kind of understood why so her ‘Miss Foxy' now
A short while later…
Ki along the lines of ”I' It'll be better to leave separately If you don't call ularly, remember that I'll hunt you down and hurt you allant strides
Once she was gone, only two of them remained inside this empty teahouse Seol Ji-Hu slowly rose up from his seat to leave as well, only to sense a pair of eyes locked onto hi co noise as he turned his head to his side Seo Yu-Hui was quietly gazing at him ith a pair of somewhat saddened, moist eyes As if an icy-cold breeze rushed in and swept past hith of his body That feeling of gentle, understanding older sister was corew fearful of this wory at me?' (Seol Ji-Hu)
But, it was Kih? Besides, didn't she say that she was fine only a few seconds ago? Although he kind of felt a bit wronged here, Seol Ji-Hu still decided to apologise
