SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

leisurely cup of coffee.

(2) ======================== “Hmm.

You have great courage.”

The Count gently raised the corners of his lips.

“The cat has turned into a human, and I don’t think it’s very surprising….

I'm not young these days.

Oh, this is a compliment.”

"thank you.

I have a lot of courage in the first place.

I just see ghosts and that’s it.”

“Ahaha.

Do you have time to joke around? That’s great.”

The Count pulled out a fan and sent it with a smile.

I wasn't joking, I was serious.

"Huh···." "Well···." Hunters looked into each other's eyes.

Among them, the only one who burst into laughter was the Count.

The head of the personnel team, who had been shouting for the down payment until recently, became as quiet as a mouse as soon as the earl appeared.

“I, Ryeonju.

Excuse me, but...”

The big blonde hunter was careful with his luck.

“Excuse me.”

“Isn’t the deposit of 500,000 gold and the guarantee of the assistant guild leader excessive? Of course, the achievement of reaching the 10th floor is great.

However, it is still unknown how much power Hunter Kim Gong-ja has....

The further back he went, the more the Hunter stuttered.

It wasn't that he suddenly had aphasia.

The Count was looking at him quietly, covering his mouth with a fan.

With a smile over the fan.

“·················ogue.”

In the end, Hunter shut his mouth.

He must have realized later that what he said was of no use.

The opponent is the third-ranking giant.

In other words, ‘class’ was different.

“Did you all excuse me?”

"···Yes." “Then, before you excuse me any further, call your superiors.

I'm sorry, but I can't communicate with you guys.

Ah.

I don't care if anyone here can bet bigger than half a million gold.

Please sit comfortably.”

It literally means 'to turn it off'.

The karma of middle-level managers is something that cannot but be turned off.

The HR managers stood up one by one and left.

And 10 minutes later, new hunters walked into the cafe as if touching the baton with the HR managers.

“Damn twins! Damn it!”

Ranked 5th.

Cheonmumun guild leader, poisonous snake.

"Well.

You've lost one.

We have to admit that it was our failure.”

Ranked 4th.

Manshinjeon Guild Leader, Heretic Inquisitor.

“It’s a strange word to say.

Our task today is not to welcome the new hero, but to prevent the existing hunters from getting confused.

Ryeonju was too much.”

Ranked 8th.

Vigilante deputy guild leader, paladin.

“·················ogue.”

Ranked 2nd.

Even the Black Dragon guild leader and the Black Witch.

'Wow.' I stuck my tongue out in my mind.

'It's a total outburst.

Total mobilization.' The face was dull.

In the past, the top rankers who only met through interview videos or articles.

They came to life right before my eyes, and they sat right across the table.

Once again...

I realized how much the ransom had gone up.

“Come soon.”

The Count shrugged his chin and smiled.

"I don't know how long it's been since we've been together here.

The days when we all attacked the second floor together are the same as yesterday.

Isn't time really wild? We are old now.”

“Sister.

Shut up before you boil it into butterfly soup.”

The viper roared.

The guild leader of Cheonmumun.

One-eyed Hunter.

A middle-aged man, known as the one who attacked the second floor for the first time, had an eye patch on his face.

It was the wounds I got from challenging the swordsman.

“I heard it on the way.

What, 500,000 gold? Vice guild chief? Did you cosplay the beast you met and then fell to the level of a beast? It’s money, it’s your specialty, so even if you say that you’ve done it again, what the fuck is the vice guild chief…”

"ruler! Let’s order coffee first!”

The heretical inquisitor said brightly.

“It’s rude if you don’t do business even when you enter the store.

The heads of the giant guild in charge of the tower should use it like that! I order a cafe mocha.

you guys are?" “Ah, I would like a hot Americano.”

“I’m craving a cold cafe latte.”

“...hazelnut latte.

hot.

Add shot.

Grandero.”

The guild leaders spoke one after another as if they were waiting.

There was only one viper who was bewildered.

"What? coffee? no.

Hey.

Now that the 10th floor has been cleared, the world is in an uproar, can you guys afford coffee in your stomach? These cubs have taken the brain to caffeine, what ...

“Chunmu Moonju is a steamed espresso.

All right." “Is this filthy religious man…?”

"President! Place your order here!”

The Heretic Inquisitor ignored the snake and shouted.

twitch.

The barista standing at the counter shrugged.

The star coffee barista, who suddenly started making coffee for the top rankers, had a pale complexion.

“Lord, would you like to order...?”

"Yes!" The heretical inquisitor smiled brightly.

The guild leader of Manshinjeon (萬神殿).

blonde hunter.

The young man, who took on the role of preventing religious strife among people from all over the world, was famous for being respectful to everyone.

Even when they torture terrorists, they say respectful things.

“A cup of iced cafe mocha tall size.

A tall cup of warm Americano.

One large iced cafe latte.

One cup of hot hazelnut latte, added shot, grande size.

A cup of espresso doppio! I will order this!”

"Yes! Yes, yes...!”

"Ah.

Oh yeah-." The Inquisitor slowly turned his head.

“-What does Hunter Kim Gong-ja want to do?”

The eyes of the left were focused on me.

The table quickly became quiet.

fun eyes.

harsh eyes.

bright snow.

cold gaze.

expressionless eyes.

Five faces and ten eyes stared at me silently.

As if to test my reaction.

- Don't be scared.

The mastermind, who had kept his mouth shut until then, said.

- They're nothing.

Think it's nothing! You've been killed by Grandpa Marcus too.

Not a single bastard among them is better than his grandfather.

'I know.' I knew it well too.

'It's just a nerve war.' And it was a go-stop that squeezed and hit.

I shrugged.

“Shop manager.

Is there no menu here?”

"Yes?" “I don’t crave coffee because I drank macchiato earlier.

I want to look at the menu and decide...

Well.

no.

If you have hot chocolate, just give it to me.”

“Oh, I see.”

spare.

What I had to show now was a relaxed attitude.

'These people didn't just come in droves.' When the HR team leaders came a while ago, and even now, hunters from different guilds arrived at the same time.

Was this a coincidence timing? 'Absolutely not!' An operation pretending to be a coincidence.

It was all just smoke.

'It's a strategy to swarm my mind at once.' If it was a classic, it was a very classic technique.

Would it be similar to thugs swarming with gangs and threatening one person? 'What.

Even though they are a bit scary hunters for thugs...' The air is tense as if covered with thin ice.

'It's nothing compared to being burned alive.' In other words, it was nothing more than thin ice.

If it had been before the death of the Emperor, those people would have been trembling for fear...

but not now.

I wasn't scared at all.

The reason was remarkably simple.

'If you twist it, it will kill you.' If they kill me, I'll be fine! The mastermind nodded his head.

-okay.

you said That's your talent and your strengths! If you're going to kill it, try to kill it once.

In the eye! Be strong.

They said that the idiots who can't be killed anywhere dare to rank high and hold their form! 'Oh, thank you for your support.

Still, the penalty is not released.' - What the hell...! The mastermind grabbed his head and was frustrated.

"Well." Meanwhile, the Heretical Inquisitor's face changed.

“It’s amazing.

Until they attacked the 10th floor, they were viewed as a hunter who had no activity at all.

Suddenly a person has changed...

I don’t even know what the world is like!”

“It’s not that there aren’t any performances at all.”

The Count covered his lower crown with a fan and smiled.

“That young man recently won the lottery for this guild.

lucky I have the guts too.

I don't know how they attacked it, but seeing that you conquered the 10th floor, you must have some skill.

luck.

guts.

skill.

If a young man has three things, he will succeed in anything he does.”

“Haha… that’s what I said.”

A viper sighed across the table.

“Don’t play around with this and that, just hire him! The guy who broke the 10th floor is probably a kid who doesn't know anything.

tt I was acting in a way that I couldn’t get enough of…”

“Things like that don’t matter.”

suddenly.

The guild leader of the Black Dragon who was quiet.

The so-called witch opened her mouth.

“Just because the face of the middle person is damaged does not mean that the face of the Buddha has been damaged.

Are you busy with each other? Let's postpone blaming others until a little later." “Hmmmm…”

“Hunter Gongja Kim.”

the witch saw me “I will ask you honestly.

Which guild are you planning to join?”

pale eyes.

“If you are not going to join any guild like Swordsman, please tell me in advance.

Depending on that, we have to discuss how to respond to the media.”

“What if I want to join a certain guild?”

“A fierce bidding competition will begin.”

said the witch calmly.

“In the meantime, we stayed on the ninth floor for too long.

It's embarrassing to say that it's sluggish...

it was just ugly But thanks to you breaking through the 10th floor, we have another opportunity to advertise the value of the tower to the outside world.”

“Opportunity.”

"okay.

opportunity.

An opportunity to draw not only war refugees, but many other human beings from the outside world.”

The barista held a tray and served coffee.

Guild leaders quietly received coffee cups one by one.

No one said anything.

The witch also took a sip of the hazelnut latte without saying a word.

“More than anything else, when the 10th floor opens, even the hunters who have lived only in the city on the first floor will be moved a little.

What kind of unknown world awaits from the 11th floor? Realists who have forgotten their adventurous spirit will nod their heads.”

indeed.

“I think the food shortage will be solved.”

“·················ogue.”

The witch looked at me with a surprised expression.

“...you can hear me quickly.

that's right.

It is difficult to meet the demand for food by selling only items that are slowly excavated below the ninth floor.”

“You keep the trade channels open to the outside world 24 hours a day.”

The Count laughed.

“Now, I am not as energetic as I used to be.

It's a little difficult because I'm older." “It’s time for a new product.”

The witch spoke.

“We have to attract adventurers to the world beyond the 10th floor.

We have to find items that can only be found beyond the 10th floor.”

“In that case, we will need a way to actively appeal to the outside world and the tower.

[A new era has begun!] It is a means to advertise in full force.

Are you saying that is me?”

"···that's right.

Exactly.”

It was all about the future.

This is the reason why the giant guilds did not treat humans who lived in a good taste like a samurai.

being a hero Like it or not, it has become an icon that symbolizes a new era.

Such a hero is absolutely necessary for the tower to continue to grow! 'Nevertheless, the Black Dragon tried to assassinate Yeomje.' I remembered a conversation I overheard in a slum alley.

- Who ordered me to kill? just answer that -Is that what the Black Dragon witch did? At that time, the saint slowly nodded her head.

If the saint wasn't lying, the witch in front of her was actually trying to poison the flame.

I don't know why it happened now, but...

'I have a good heart with you.' because.

'There is no way a person who hates a plague child is a bad guy!' Would you say that the enemy of the enemy is an ally? There seemed to be some kind of camaraderie.

“I understand what you said.

It is said that a guild that succeeded in recruiting me can become a symbol of a new era.

The rest of the guilds will probably not be able to avoid being bridesmaids.”

"Yes." “I’m sorry for that… so I do it this way.”

Hunters focused on my words.

I took a trump card out of my pocket.

“...Trump card?”

The witch tilted her head.

“Are you going to make it a game? Your guild?”

"Yes." “·················ogue.”

“I will join the guild of the person who won first place by playing poker.

No down payment or status required.

only!" I smiled.

“If I win, I will [simultaneously join] the guild of everyone here.”

“·················ogue.”

"Ah.

They say that you will become a guild member only on the surface.

In reality, they treat you as equals.

It's good that you can sell my image.

I like being treated side by side with the heads of top guilds.

how is it?" In an instant, the eyes of the guild leaders changed.

“Ahaha.”

The Count burst into laughter.

“Are you saying that a young man who has just attacked one level will be treated the same as us?”

"Yes.

If I play a card game with you and get first place.”

“It’s fun.

I am good.”

The Count put down his coffee cup and looked around.

“How are you?”

"As long as you don't cheat, I'm fine with it!" The Inquisitor was the first to respond.

“...and decided not to use any skills.

Otherwise, you are too advantageous.

If you get caught while using the skill, that person is automatically eliminated.”

Then poison.

“After all, our guild is poor, so if you enter the bid, you will lose.

Even if you lose, it's a battle, and if you win, it's a windfall.

It went well.”

And the paladin agreed.

“·················ogue.”

Finally, the witch nodded her head.

"great.

I will accept your offer.”

Gambling was established.

We set the detailed rules of poker.

The rules themselves were mediocre.

The top-ranked players meticulously checked whether there were any bad jokes on the cards, whether there were any suspicions of cheating, or not.

'The swordsman.' When cards are dealt.

-OK···? 'Honestly, don't you really hate to be called that Confucius?' I called the mastermind, who was still frustrated.

'Let's do this.' - What should we do...? 'Call me Confucius until the end of this game.' The ghost's eyes widened.

-Huh? Is it really okay!? 'Yes.

of course.' I chuckled.

'Instead, let me know what the hunters are holding.' -Oh yea! Oops! Azabyo! The background spirit ran wildly.

- Damn easy! Kyaa, Confucius after all! Guess who is not Confucius, look at his personality like a great person! You don't know how our Confucius was so generous! Do you know what these cubs are holding? Oh, don't worry.

We will tell you whether or not to remove the bottom at all! Confucius! Ego.
