The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

88 – Contingency

“Are the preparations going well, Secretary Kang?”

Choi Soo-jeong, who was busy looking at the documents, asked Kang So-young, who was standing in front of her.

So-young Kang took out her tablet PC in her hand and checked it quickly, then she said to Soo-jeong Choi.

“Yes, starting with recovery items, I gathered all kinds of items necessary for battle and bought them as much as possible.”

“What did the Hunter Association say?”

“They said they are starting with mercenaries and amassing as many as they can.”

“Ehh….”

Choi Soo-jeong let out a deep sigh.

Lack of time is too short.

The showdown took place much faster than expected.

Choi Su-jeong couldn’t believe it.

It is said that they had been preparing in advance, but since the difference in power is large, at least one more year was needed.

So I only checked and avoided the parts that could be a big problem, but now that things have flowed to this point, I can’t even remove them.

“There is not much time left, so collect them as soon as possible. Fern hands don’t matter. It’s okay even if you’re not a skilled person, so use all the methods you have.”

“Okay. I will contact the association and tell them about that as well.”

Choi Soo-jung turned her eyes to the documents after hearing Kang So-young’s answer.

Then, after thinking for a while about what came to mind, she carefully asked Kang So-young.

“What is Wonwoo doing right now… ?”

The first thing that came to mind even in the midst of his hectic busyness was Lee Won-woo, but he tried to look away and couldn’t stand it anymore because he was curious about his condition.

“… “

Kang So-young can’t answer anything.

Choi Soo-jung asked again in a sense of urgency, wondering if something had happened.

“I asked how Wonwoo was doing.”

“Wonwoo…. I went to see the former president.”

“Ah, my father… ? How did you know and visit him?”

Suddenly, Choi Su-jeong jumps up from her seat and asks questions when she hears that she went to meet her father, the swordsman Choi Tae-shik.

Kang So-yeong said as if she couldn’t help it.

“… I invited Wonwoo to meet him.”

“Secretary Kang… ? Why?”

“I wondered if the person who knew Wonwoo’s feelings was at least a little similar to Chairman Jeon…. I wondered if Wonwoo would be able to bring Chairman Jeon to our side.”

Choi Soo-jung laughs at Kang So-young’s words.

Then he sat down and poked the pen beside him on the paper.

“You know that can’t happen, right? You know exactly what kind of personality your father is.”

“Yes, that’s right. However, I wondered if it would be possible for Wonwoo. I have to say this, but it is because I have the opposite personality to the former president.”

“Is it possible because it is the opposite?”

“Yes. Extremes and extremes rather communicate.”

“I see…. That would be really good news, but….”

Choi Soo-jung’s expression darkened and her words were blurry.

Seeing that, Kang So-yeong put down the documents in her hand and approached her.

Then he gently hugged her from behind and said.

“Actually, are you worried about something other than the former president? Wonwoo will trust you and meet you again.”

“… Huh.”

Sujeong Choi reluctantly agreed.

Then, the steel-like expression so far quickly collapses and turns into a restless face.

“In the end, it’s true that I betrayed Wonwoo…. I should have said it, but it is true that I delayed it in the end. I was honestly scared. I’m afraid Wonwoo will be hated for the fact that he became like this because of me….”

“I understand. Because he was sincere.”

Then Choi Soo-jung glared at Kang So-young and said.

“No! I was so selfish! I should have said it from the beginning…. In the end, it only nurtured doubt.”

“It couldn’t be helped. Before that, even for us to survive. Even to protect Wonwoo. Because it required minimal funds and troops.”

“Yes, but….”

“For that, the young lady volunteered for hard training. From commercials you don’t want to shoot to all sorts of things that make money, you’ve come!”

I can only protest because I have seen all the hard work Choi Soo-jeong has done from the bottom up, away from Seong-gwang’s guild.

I was grateful for Kang So-yeong’s heart, but Choi Soo-jung shook her head and said,

“Yes. But it was right that I should have said it from the first time I joined the guild. Like Han Yoo-ra and Kim Ji-soo, I ended up taking advantage of Wonwoo’s pain.”

Her red eyes look even more sad as if she is heartbroken to have taken advantage of her loved one.

“Besides, I couldn’t tell you about the secret I hold that you were most curious about….”

“That….”

Kang So-young also couldn’t say anything about that part.

A secret that he has never told even to himself, who has been with him for almost a lifetime.

In the first place, I didn’t even have any curiosity about the story of a secret that couldn’t be told.

I just accepted it and passed it on.

The one who saved her life doesn’t deserve it.

However, Wonwoo Lee takes a different position.

It would be hard to believe Choi Soo-jeong, who keeps it a secret, because Choi Woo-seok’s words, which gave confusion by pushing the absurd ability of [Enchantment] Into a plausibility, are persuasive enough.

She probably would have had similar thoughts if Kang So-yeong herself had been in the same situation.

However, Lee Won-woo, whom he had been watching, was not the kind of person who easily abandoned the people around him and judged them carelessly.

He’s the kind of person who will trust you and hug you first, even if he gets hurt.

So I believe that you will definitely come back to Soo-jung Choi.

“Wonwoo will definitely come back. Do not worry. And when the time comes, let me know as you said, and he will accept everything.”

“… I hope so.”

Choi Soo-jung smiles faintly as if she gained strength from Kang So-young’s words.

And then he picked up the documents again and said.

“Whoa… After this job goes well, Wonwoo and I should go on a very far overseas trip and get some rest.”

“Please.”

“Yes. I’m going to have an accident there somehow. I plan to reject Secretary Kang’s objection, so keep that in mind.”

Kang So-yeong laughed at Choi Soo-jung’s playful talk.

“… I don’t dry anymore. If this job goes well, I want to see a happy smiling lady.”

“Yes. Everything will be alright.”

I don’t know if they will survive this war, but the two laughed as they talked about hope.

The two naturally immerse themselves in paperwork again.

However, the good mood was short lived due to the sudden shaking of the guild building.

“Are you awake?”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a man wearing a uniform.

Everything is confused because my head is still in a daze.

Where is this and why am I lying here and who is the stranger?

And after a while, my head was organized and the things that had happened so far came to mind.

Starting with meeting Taeshik Choi, a swordsman, he sorted out his feelings for Sujeongi to some extent and took poison to become a disciple to become a source of strength.

And then I realized that I had barely returned alive.

“Sword Demon! I’m alive, right?”

Bean!

“Ouch.”

Then Taesik Choi suddenly hit me in the head.

It’s not strong, but I complained of pain without even realizing it.

“How are you? Do you think you are alive because you are sick? hahahaha.”

“No. Why do you use violence when you can just say it?”

“No, I asked for proof that this guy is alive, so I told him, damn it!”

While doing so, Choi Tae-shik reached out once again, aiming for the head.

At that moment, he instinctively stretched out his fist and slashed his hand to defend it.

“Uh… ?”

I was surprised by the reflexes that reacted quickly without even realizing it. Choi Tae-shik withdrew his hand in satisfaction.

“What a surprise. You’ve passed the point of death, but you have to get that much to make ends meet, isn’t it?”

“Ah…. It is, but.”

Should I say that I realized it after coming to my senses?

It feels like the senses in my whole body, as well as my physical abilities, have all expanded and grown wider than usual.

The same goes for Choi Tae-shik’s attack a while ago.

Before, it was difficult to even see the movement, but now it has reached a level where it is possible to watch it calmly and even counterattack.

It’s a joke-like sword, but it’s an attack from Sword Demon Choi Tae-shik.

She said in the past that as Han Yoo-ra rose to S rank, she felt different from the world she knew, but she might be similar.

“Are you done with yourself now?”

Choi Tae-sik asked in a plaintive voice.

It is a moment of great emotion for me as I have grown tremendously, but Choi Tae-shik gives me a face with an expression that says he has no inspiration.

“Yes, what. So what should I do next?”

“What the heck. Now that you are ready to become a disciple, set an example for your teacher. Let’s see what the buds are like.”

“Oh, yes.”

Since I don’t know much about this custom, I thought about what to do, and then bowed as I knew it.

Then he lowered his head and said.

“I ask you to make me your disciple.”

“Tsk. Why do you talk like that? Where are you from the Joseon Dynasty?”

Grumbles about something he doesn’t like.

But what can I do?

Even if you can’t do it, it’s not a one-hundred-percent, but a one-dang’s strength.

I have to take it somehow.

“Sorry. Or shall we bow one more time to be polite?”

“Does anyone have something to make you eat? Oh my gosh It would be unfair for such a guy to become a disciple, but there is a possibility of becoming a son-in-law. Tsk tsk. I’m not very happy with my last years.”

The words I wanted to ask you to know about my life as well as the person who will serve the eccentric master and father-in-law filled my throat, but I held it in.

“Yes. Well, don’t accept me as my disciple. A promise is a promise.”

At those words, I looked up and asked.

“Then… ?”

“Yes. I have a reason, so I have to join. Of course, it would be embarrassing if his son knew about it right away, so he would hide his identity.”

“Yes, that doesn’t matter!”

No matter what, a person with the power to overturn the war has come to our side, and it doesn’t matter if he hides his identity.

“Yes. Then, meet Soojung who you love and cherish first… Me… ?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Master… ?”

“… “

Choi Tae-shik suddenly frowns.

When I asked what happened, there was no answer.

After a while, he shouted at me with a heavy expression instead of Choi Tae-sik’s usual annoyed face.

“Sujeong is in danger right now.”
