The next day.

I was escorted to the airport by the Oni Guild.

“I apologize again. ”

The man who followed me down from the limo bows his head.

Just after yesterday, I wondered what I'd done.

Following the absurd hypothesis of journalists, the Chief Researcher of the Oni Guild said that would never happen. As soon as I left, my attitude changed by 180 degrees.

I had to.

The superhuman industry is a world where images eat and enter in half.

Given that image, it would be best not to fringe me, the hot potato, these days.

In the beginning, Japanese companies were very concerned about their own brand reputation, so it seemed to be unique.

Anyway, it's been like this ever since.

I keep my head down even if it's okay.

I don't know how many times I've heard that apology.

“It's okay. Nothing happened, and you gave me this reward. ”

I saw the carrier in my right hand.

A carrier containing ancient artifacts that were handed over to the Oni Guild.

“Is that really going to work? ”

“Yes, that's enough. ”

The Oni Guild said they would give you the right item, not just a cheesy antique with this pattern.

I refused.

“It's good equipment, and it can also be obtained through a contract with a full-time senior · · · · ·. It's even more appropriate as a gift for acquaintances. ”

I sold some names of Jia and Yoo-Hwa.

It is well known that I am intimate with the two of them, so I asked for an ancient artifact in exchange for repaying my usual debt.

“The Mystery Project · · · · ”

“Yes, it's like a national business, but there's not enough artifacts to decorate the interior. ”

Unlike the first time, the negotiations with the overseas guild are not going well.

“Of course. The ancient artifacts inside Korea should be fine, but we need permission from the country to buy them overseas. ”

“Yes. The Japanese side is also self-conservative. ”

Without a clear name like this, the government will not grant permission.

“Hmm.”

The man strokes his chin with a serious expression.

Nakamura Shigue-o.

At first I thought he was just a secretary, but he said he was the 3rd best in the Omni Guild. I was so surprised to hear that.

“To be honest, The Oni Guild has not carefully reviewed the myth and unmarried proposal. There was pressure from the government, and frankly, I wasn't very interested. ”

“Yes, I thought so. ”

I understand.

“Then yesterday, I listened to Kang Seo Yul and looked at the mystery project properly. · · · · · · · ”

This fell from Nakamura's eyes. It was the eyes of an entrepreneur.

“I honestly had no reason to refuse. ”

“Of course.”

A treaty proposal sent only to the Omni Guild, a giant guild in a Japanese oyster.

Here is a brief summary of the proposal.

“I take it you're offering me Maiden's Special Agent technology in exchange for an ancient artifact?” ”

“You know. ”

Nakamura's pupils are slightly dilated.

You'll be a little surprised at the fact that I'm sharing it with Mr. Maiden, even with him about corporate secrets.

You're probably thinking about what that has to do with me and Mr. Maiden.

Seeing the strange look on his face, he seems to be thinking strange thoughts · · · · · · ·.

Well, Japan is an imaginary country. Tell them to take care of it.

“So what do you want to say? ”

That's not the point.

“Ahh. Hmmm. ”

Nakamura clears his throat.

“I had a meeting inside the guild yesterday. It concluded that we should accept special treaty proposals related to the Mystery Project. ”

I knew it.

I thought that would be the case with the words, but it was the right answer.

“If this proposal is still valid, I would like to meet properly and have a conversation. That's what the guild leader said. ”

I can get you another present on the way home.

* * *

After a short flight, I arrived in Korea. The first passenger terminal in Incheon was always crowded with crowds.

I only wore masks and sunglasses, but no one recognizes me. It bothers me when the crowds are crowded. I left the airport as soon as I could.

“Kid!”

Let's go to the promised place. In front of the limo, Maden smiled and hugged me with a bright face.

“Damn! Good job! ”

And then he'd pat me on the back, and he'd laugh.

“It looks like the sky is really helping you. No wonder the attack failed · · · · · · · · No, the attack failed to return with this result. ”

The reason Maiden is having this reaction is simple.

It's because I received an answer from the Oni Guild that I would like to formally enter into a treaty. It would have been a beam of light for Mr. Maiden, who was wrapping his head around it.

“Hey, pretty one. Come on, I'll give you a kiss. ”

Mr. Maiden sticks out his lips like a goldfish and puts his face close to my cheek.

“Never mind. He's no kid. ”

I screamed, desperately avoiding Mr. Maiden's face.

What's a kiss?

“Ugh. Could you quietly hand out the ball?” ”

“I said no.”

As I continued to avoid the skinship, Mr. Maiden vomited.

“Yes. You don't need a big kiss, do you? ”

“No, that's not it. ”

Maden falls away from me, pouting her lips.

“No shit. Angry Gia would have been quiet if she'd done this. ”

“· · · · · · · No? ”

Maybe.

I just don't like this kind of embarrassment.

“Tsk. I didn't want to waste my breath. Anyway, kid, good job. Thanks to you, I got a new fishing rod. Thank you.”

“Thank you. You're doing this for me in the first place. Rather, I'm grateful. Thank you.”

Mr. Maiden's jaw is throbbing.

“Khh. That's why I like you. How can you make a horse so pretty? ”

Maden looks at me with warm eyes.

“But are you sure you're okay with this? I took a closer look at the proposal, and it looks like Mr. Maiden is losing a lot of money. ”

The conditions were better than I thought.

“Only right now. ”

“Right now?”

“Yes.”

Maiden folds her arms and grins.

“Kid, you said it yourself. Soon the world's common sense will be completely twisted. ”

“Ah.”

I see what you mean.

“Dragon, angel, demon, dwarf. When those legendary beings return, my tech patents will be trash. Right?”

“· · · · · · · Yes. That's right.”

Dragons' magical skills and knowledge cannot be approached by humans.

“That's why I decided to give you my skills in return. We just have to get rid of it before it turns into a normal piece of paper. ”

Maiden raises the tail of one mouth.

“And in return, now we buy ancient artifacts whose value is not well measured. By then, the value of the Ancient Artifact will rise to the skies of heaven. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes. ”

It was an entrepreneur's eye.

The eyes of an outstanding entrepreneur who understands and uses information only about the future.

I was truly thankful that such a man was an ally.

“Anyway, this concludes the collection of the ancient artifacts. All we have to do is focus on the museum construction. ”

This time, I smiled like an artist.

* * *

I was escorted home by Mr. Maiden.

“Then rest well. ”

“Yes, I'll be in touch. ”

After you show Mr. Maiden out.

Fingerprints, irises, all sorts of security were removed and they went inside the house.

The house is very quiet.

Is everyone taking a nap?

I thought so and quietly headed to the living room.

There was no one in the living room. Looks like he's taking a nap, too.

I went to Lena's room.

The door is half open.

I peered through the door.
