SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Chapter 19

leisurely cup of coffee.

(1) ========================= 1.

Male male.

“Who really attacked the 10th floor?”

“I keep watching the news, but it doesn’t come out.

There is nothing but chirashi...”

“Aren’t you just deliberately hiding from the Black Dragon? If I reveal it dramatically later...”

"Ah.

It’s because the swordsmanship is certain!”

A city on the first floor.

Babylon was in turmoil.

People were happy that the impregnable 10th floor was finally attacked.

And who the secret attacker that has not yet been revealed is, they gathered in an outdoor cafe and chatted.

How will they react? “Ummm.”

When I find out that I, sitting in the seat next to me, is the one who broke through the 10th floor.

“It’s sweet.”

I said while sucking the caramel macchiato.

outdoor cafe.

This cafe, located opposite the headquarters of the Confederation of Trade Unions, was the only Starbucks in Babylon.

Even though it is a tower that cannot be left out once people enter, I have a renewed respect for the challenging spirit of setting up a chain store here.

There was even a franchise with a red-nosed clown and a bountiful grandfather each representing the mascot.

Ah.

What is human desire? “What do you think, Mr.

Geomje? Isn't victory really sweet? In fact, I think it would taste sweet even if I just drink espresso right now.

Yes?" -·········.

“Ugh.

Is this earphone broken? That's weird.

You don't get an answer." I pulled out the earphones I had in my ear and tapped them.

There was, of course, no sound coming from the earphones.

A simple gimmick.

If you just talk to yourself without anything, you'll look crazy, so you put on earphones and pretend you're talking to someone.

This worked pretty well.

None of the people in the cafe looked at me strangely.

“Mr.

Geomje? swordsman? Hey, psychopath.

Are you over there, madman?”

-···OK.

"Gosh.

I hear you now.

I was worried you're deaf again.

To make you worry about Confucius, who is like the sky.

Humans can’t do that.”

-·········.

"Oh right.

You were a ghost, not a human.

I forgot because I had a headache.

really! it's sword Can we let go now? You call me Confucius, but it's weird if I use respectful words.

right?" -Mr....

Feet....

The master behind the table, who was floating across the table, shook his shoulders.

-I've never been humiliated like this before in my life...

The king...

how did the main throne, which was praised as the king of swords, die such a catastrophe...

"Ugh.

It's a joke, a joke.

Even if I am called Confucius, would you mind talking to Hunter, who is far older than me? Of course you can let it go.

There is.

Just for the sake of my personality, I will continue to call you Mr.

Geomje.

how is it? Are you satisfied?”

- Just kill me! The ghost was crying.

-Obtain a new skill and put it on the [Sword Constellation] slot! That's all right, you bastard! Better kill me! "no.

This guy is making a big deal out of it.

Aren't we named partners, partner? lifelong friend.

best friend! Someone in the world kills a best friend.

We will be together forever.”

- Heh heh heh.

done···.

I'm not going to say anything.

Marcus Grandfather.

I want to go back to my grandfather...

oh, it's sweet I looked up at the sky while drinking coffee.

[22:32:50] The heavenly clock indicated that an hour and a half had already passed.

By now, the time has come to come, when I thought.

- Meow.

"Well?" A brown-haired cat crawled over.

He was a well-groomed child to be seen as a stray cat.

What's strange is that instead of putting a bell around his neck, was he wearing two gold coins instead? “·················ogue.”

gulp.

I pondered for a moment how to deal with it.

'Gold Coin Cat.' -Yes? 'It's a gold coin cat.

Very famous...

ah.

Now people don't know.' This cat was no ordinary pet.

After about five years, it was a mascot that would solidify as a proper noun.

'···I did not know that such a giant would come in person.' Can't you just pretend you don't know? I looked down at the cat calmly.

while managing facial expressions.

“Are you lost?”

- Meow.

The brown cat banged its head on my leg.

I was stunned in my heart.

If you saw it without knowing its identity, it was a real cat that was friendly to people without fail.

“Will you stay with your brother for a while until your master comes to find you?”

- Nyaaa.

“ ”

I picked up the cat and put it on my lap.

The brown cat swung carefreely on my lap, as if it had been aiming for this place from the beginning.

Even meow- yawning while crying, isn't it? 'He said he was crazy about cats.

Great acting skills.' He stuck out his tongue in his mind and stroked the cat's head.

- Nyaoong.

After listening to the cat growling for a while, a group of hunters approached the cafe.

One of them spoke to me first.

"excuse me.

Is your name Gongja Kim?”

"Well." Just by looking at it, the equipment was shoddy.

They weren't gossiping.

Not even a guild leader, but at least an executive.

Such people flocked to the outdoor cafe.

I pulled out my ID with one hand and showed it.

“I was wondering how long it would take.

It only takes an hour and a half.”

“···································································! The hunters' eyes trembled when they saw my ID.

The agitation spread.

Hunters havetily took out their smartphones and started contacting them somewhere.

"Yes.

Found it!”

“In the cafe right across from the bank...”

"no.

All the other guilds gathered...

Yes.

Yes! I see, Colonel.”

"do not worry.

I will never lose it to another guild!”

It was just before the storm.

I watched with joy what was happening in front of my nose.

'Are you feeling like a complete VIP?' -What.

Most guilds will set their eyes on fire to recruit you.

You cleared the 10th floor by yourself that no one could break.

Then you are a real VIP.

'Well.

but.

Even those who have cleared the 99th floor are respected as Confucius, but if you are not a VIP, it is a bit strange.' - Fuck! Fuck! Shibaal! The hunters ended the call one by one.

And they all looked at me with tense faces.

As we waited to see which guild would be the first to appear, a large blonde hunter took a step forward.

“I am the HR team leader of the vigilante guild.

Gongja Kim Hunter.

As you know, the vigilantes are the most honorable guild in Babylon.

If you join our guild...!" “Wait a minute.”

I raised my hand.

The vigilante personnel team leader paused.

“I’m really sorry for interrupting you.

But let’s talk about two things clearly.”

“·················ogue.”

"First.

Don't leak it to the press yet." I looked around the Hunters carefully.

Among them, I can assure you that there will be no hunters with a lower rank than me.

They are hunters who would not have dared to look up if it had been in the old days before returning.

But I wasn't hooked at all.

Performance! Because I have the achievement of reaching the top 10 floors for the first time in mankind.

It was like a monumental monument that no one could destroy, regardless of whether the rank was high or not.

The more competent the hunter, the more important the performance.

If they're really capable, they can't treat me badly.

“If any guild leaks my name to the media, I will never sign a contract with that guild.

I'm not even going to do it.

Please keep that in mind.”

"that···.

Uh, how long?”

Another hunter raised his hand and asked.

“Right now, the reporters from the Hwanmun newspaper are going to all kinds of guilds...

Gongja Kim.

Even if we hide it, we can't tell you how much we can hide it, honestly.”

“Well, I’m not saying I want to hide it for a long time.”

I pointed to the sky.

Hunters looked up at the same time.

[22:25:31] “Until today.

Keep the embargo until the clock shows 00:00:00.”

"Ah! Yes.

If you get there, somehow...

All right." The Hunters sighed in relief.

I smiled.

'You can't just hit reporters for nothing.

As soon as the 11th floor opens, you have to run to Panguk.' I opened my mouth again.

“This is the first condition.

Then the second-.”

“·················ogue.”

The hunters looked at me with a firm expression.

This time, he looked nervous about how difficult the conditions would be.

I smiled and pointed around.

“-This is a public place, so please be considerate of other guests.”

"Yes?" “Can’t you feel the guests staring here? Everyone's coming all of a sudden, so everyone's confused." I was right.

Other customers sitting at the outdoor cafe were spying on it.

naval officer.

Most of the guests exchanged whispers and looked at them suspiciously.

There were even guests who secretly turned on their smartphones to take pictures.

“It’s nonsense.”

“·················ogue.”

“I can guess that everyone was crazy looking for me, but let’s live slowly.

I'm not going anywhere." “Sir, I’m sorry.”

Belatedly, the Hunters came to their senses and scattered around.

"sorry.

I can't tell you the circumstances, but if you stay away..." “Master.

I would like to rent a cafe here for an hour, how much would it cost?”

“Everyone, thank you for your understanding! If you come to Cheonmumun later, thank you.”

Indeed, the executives of the giant guilds were different.

Five minutes until I bow my head to the customers and borrow the store from the owner.

In less than five minutes, the cafe was neatly opened.

"Ego." We went into the cafe from the outside and resumed the conversation.

“Then we start negotiating.

Please tell me the conditions.”

Interestingly, the Hunters were holding coffee cups, one in each hand.

Everyone ordered coffee after I said it wasn't a nuisance.

it's cute “...Our vigilantes offer 10,000 gold as a down payment.”

That was the starting point.

“10,000 gold? hey In a place like this, poor tea is served.

Gongja Kim Hunter! Join the Adventure Alliance.

20,000 gold as a down payment, and I promise you an executive position.”

“Come to the gate of heaven.

Hunter.

Our guild is a professional guild that trains the most upright battle hunters in Babylon.

I will take you as an instructor right away and give you 25,000 gold as a down payment.”

“A position like an instructor is just annoying.

Think well.

Gongja Kim Hunter! If you come to Manshinjeon, we will guarantee you an honorary position.

To be honest, I hope you will take on the role of promoting Manshinjeon both internally and externally.

With a down payment of 30,000 gold, each case is separate...!”

“The Administration! Please come as an ambassador for the Management Bureau!”

fuss.

The HR managers were desperately courting.

Their position was also understood.

Up until now, all of the top guilds must have been crushed by the name of 'Swordsman' without knowing it.

No.

1 ranking for infants alone without joining any guild! Because such an existence exists, people think.

Do you really need to join a guild? In the end, Hunter said that solo play would not be the answer...

'Even though the sword is only special.' The image of the guilds is definitely damaged.

'In such a situation, a new hero was born that would cause as much attention as the swordsmanship?' I smiled.

'They should be recruited by any means and methods.' At least be sure to prevent the situation of being stolen by other guilds! Perhaps such an order was given to the HR managers.

it was obvious “Now, the vigilantes can give you 36,000 gold as a down payment...”

“It’s true.

The poor guild should step back.

Yes?" “What do you mean we are going to compete for a thousand gold now? Can't you understand the atmosphere?" “In our pension castle...!”

That was the time.

“Sangryun (商聯).”

A heavy voice rang out from somewhere.

“500,000 gold.”

“·················ogue.”

The Hunters turned their heads in unison.

Their gaze was directed to none other than my knees.

To be precise, it was a cat with a leash on his lap.
