[Opening]
After signing the contract,
Baek Young-hee He took on the role of guiding us to the guild facilities.
Baek Young-hee said with a face full of pride.
“People call this building ‘White Castle.’ “It’s like a huge castle.”
This entire building was owned by the Whitehouse Guild, and hundreds of people, including superhumans, were working there.
In fact, it’s like a huge corporation.
As the successor to that company, Baek Young-hee’s pride was great.
“I’ll guide you one by one, starting from the first floor.”
We followed Baek Young-hee to tour the guild facilities. She added detailed explanations.
“This is the training room. “You can train while regularly checking your body condition with state-of-the-art equipment.”
“This entire floor is the personal quarters of the superhumans. “You two can move in whenever you want.”
“This is the operation control room. Operators are always on standby to support the superhuman team.”
“This is the monster body storage room… right? “Are you listening to me?”
Baek Young-hee, who at first took the lead with an expression full of pride, seemed increasingly embarrassed when we both reacted indifferently.
When I was guided halfway through the facility, Younghee Baek asked me with an expression of incomprehension.
“Why aren’t you surprised at all?”
“hmm? “Should I be surprised?”
When I tilted my head and asked, Baek Young-hee answered with a confused expression.
“Well, when I see such a state-of-the-art facility for the first time… I’m usually surprised or amazed.”
iced coffee. I said something and that was it.
To the average person, the facilities here would be surprising enough.
You’re probably busy with your mouth wide open in admiration.
I later reacted like a normal person.
“wow! It’s really amazing. “The floor here is marble, right?”
Baek Young-hee then made an absurd expression.
“The acting is very noticeable. And what’s surprising is the marble barely laid on the floor?”
I looked embarrassed.
“I got caught.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Everything here is outdated to me.
There is no reason to be surprised to see equipment that is 20 years old.
“I’m the type of person who doesn’t really get surprised.”
At my words, Baek Young-hee sighed as if resigned.
“but. “Team Leader Lim specializes in surprising others.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment.”
We took the elevator and went to the next floor.
Now Baek Young-hee explained calmly with an expression that showed no expectations.
“This is a restaurant. There is nothing unusual about it, but they employ excellent nutritionists and chefs to ensure the health of superhumans. You can use it at any time as a 24-hour buffet…”
That was back then. For the first time, the violent reaction that Baek Young-hee wanted erupted.
Of course, it didn’t come from me.
“Huh!!”
When I looked to the side, I saw Lily with an astonished expression on her face, like an atheist who had seen heaven.
I wrinkle my nose. Drooling.
slap!
If I hadn’t grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, he would have jumped straight for the food.
Lily, who was grabbed by the back of her neck, looked back at me with pitiful eyes.
“Please…”
I shook my head firmly.
“no. “It’s been less than an hour since I ate chicken.”
I ate three of them by myself.
How on earth did you get a stomach?
I am worried that if this continues, she will evolve into a flame pig instead of a fire witch.
I lifted Lily’s back up so that she was facing me.
And gave a stern warning.
“If you continue like this, you will become an obese child. “If you get fat, you can’t have a boyfriend.”
My realistic warnings were of no use.
“I’ll just eat a little! Just a little bit! “Let me eat just a little bit!”
When I didn’t let the little boy go, he started waving his hands and feet and acting out.
“I’m going to eat it!”
“Haa….”
As I was sighing in deep frustration, Baek Young-hee spoke next to me.
Even if you don’t understand Gaia, if you have a little insight, you can figure out why the kid is doing this.
“How about stopping by for a bit?”
“Ugh.”
In the end, being the kind person I am, I had no choice but to give in.
I said as I lowered Lily to the floor.
“I’ll let you go if you promise to eat just one plate.”
“huh!”
After a while, I was able to experience with my own eyes the physical limits of how much food can be put on one plate.
It was like
the “Leaning Tower of Pisa…”
What was even more surprising was that the tower was leaning and shrinking at an incredible speed.
After a while, we said
, “Okay~”
We headed to the next floor with Lily, who had barely appeased her hunger.
“This is an equipment manufacturing workshop. “Most of the guild’s beginners use custom-made equipment here.”
Inside the workshop, dozens of technicians were busy making things.
In addition to basic weapons such as swords, swords, spears, etc., armor and equipment optimized for specific environments were also seen.
Considering the times, the technology is quite ahead of its time.
White House. It wasn’t a major guild for nothing.
“This place is quite impressive.”
Baek Young-hee smiled at my compliment.
“Team leader, if you tell us what weapon you want, the technicians here will make it for you. The fake product will come out in two days and the finished product will come out in a week. No matter where we put our workshop’s technology on display…”
I cut off Baek Young-hee before the explanation could get any longer.
“I’m done.”
“yes?”
The facilities at this workshop were definitely excellent.
But not to the extent I want.
“There is someone else who can take care of manufacturing the equipment.”
I know the best custom suit expert, so there’s no need to get your clothes tailored at a ready-made store.
“For now, I’ll just use this until then.”
I took the two short swords on one side of the workshop.
The center of gravity was well established and the weight was appropriate. It was sufficient for use for a while.
“Now you’ve seen all the places to see, right?”
“…….”
Baek Young-hee looked somewhat dissatisfied, but soon sighed and nodded.
“There is one last place left.”
***
The place we arrived was the representative office.
When we opened the door and entered, Baek Chang-su, who was busy working, raised his head and looked at us.
“Oh, you’re here.”
…That looks somewhat staged.
It’s my suspicion. Anyway, Baek Chang-soo got up from his seat and walked towards us with great strides.
“Welcome, Team Leader Lim. “You won’t regret choosing Whitehouse.”
Baek Chang-soo opened his arms wide and hugged me.
I answered awkwardly as I was held in his arms.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
At that moment, Baek Chang-soo whispered softly in my ear.
“Would you like to spar with me later?”
This guy still hasn’t given up.
“I will politely decline.”
“You are really doing too much…”
Baek Young-hee, who was standing behind us, sharply questioned her father.
“Representative, what did you just say? “You didn’t mean to spar again, did you?”
Baek Chang-su jumped.
“No way! I was asking when the welcome party would be held! Team leader Lim. Do you have time this weekend?”
“What am I… maybe?”
“Good. “I’ll invite other team leaders as well, so we’ll have a welcome party then!”
Suddenly, the date for my welcome party was decided.
Baek Chang-su, who barely let go of me, bent down and made eye contact with the little boy next to me.
“Pretty little girl. You said your name was Lily, right? I’m counting on you.”
Lily asked me in Gaia with a blunt expression.
“Is this guy a pervert?”
“My younger brother said he would take good care of me too.”
Baek Chang-soo laughed heartily at my smooth interpretation, and Lily hid behind my back and cursed in Gaia.
Baek Chang-su invited us to take a seat.
“Then we decided to talk more about personal things at the welcome party…”
The impression of a nice guy still remained, but the atmosphere changed a little.
“From now on, let’s talk about work.”
“great.”
“First, let me briefly explain how our guild works.”
The story that followed was quite long, but it was a story that almost everyone knew, so I listened with one ear and let it go with the other.
“…It goes like this.”
Of course, I pretended to listen intently.
“Hmm. “It’s more complicated than you think.”
Baek Chang-su nodded and said.
“I admit that you are skilled, but this will be your first time living in a guild, so it won’t be easy to adapt. “If you have any difficulties, please tell me or Baek Young-hee, the manager next to you, at any time.”
“All right.”
The story was almost coming to an end.
“Well, today is my first day at work, so I’m going to look around the guild facilities a little more and then I’m leaving…”
It was definitely the right time to say ‘getting off work’.
Bleep-!
An emergency bell rings like an ominous omen.
-CEO! This is the operation control room! –
“What’s going on?”
Baek Chang-soo, who urgently answered the phone, became increasingly stern.
“…what? Hmm. “It’s difficult.”
Baek Young-hee must have thought I was embarrassed by this sudden situation and whispered in my ear.
“It’s a direct line to the operations control room. Something must have happened. For example, a gate suddenly occurred…”
I knew it too without having to explain it.
…But this makes me uneasy.
Baek Chang-soo was pacing around the office with a serious expression and talking on the phone.
At one point he shouted in a startled voice.
“what?! A new monster? Especially when the entire team is out on the field…”
Hey, CEO?
Why are you looking at me instead of talking?
Weren’t they letting you leave work early because it was your first day at work?
Baek Chang-soo made eye contact with me and said with a bright smile.
“okay. “Not all teams were on site.”
I sighed and stood up.
In this situation, I didn’t have a social life to the point where I was just sitting around without notice.
When I nodded, Baek Chang-soo immediately gave instructions to the operation control room.
“Send 7 teams to the scene. Prepare the vehicle immediately.”
Baek Chang-soo hung up the phone and looked at me.
“Team Leader Lim. I’m sorry from day one, but I need to ask you a favor. “The current situation is…”
I said, lightly bending my neck from side to side.
“It seems urgent, so I’ll listen as I go. “Where should I go?”
***
About 10 minutes later.
When I arrived at the scene, I got out of the vehicle and checked the ear microphone.
“This is team 7. Operation control room. Can you hear me?”
-This is the operation control room. Reception is good. The film crew and medical team are scheduled to arrive on scene in approximately 5 minutes.
The voice heard through the earphones was Baek Young-hee.
Team 7 didn’t have an operator in charge yet, so she was taking over.
“Can we go into the scene right away?”
Baek Young-hee thought about my question for a moment and then said.
-First of all, could you explain what the current situation is?
“It’s a situation…”
I briefly explained the scene unfolding before my eyes.
“It’s so messed up.”
