Regressor’s Life After Retirement Chapter 17

—————————————

[Treasure Hunt]

“…… .”

As soon as I opened my eyes, my first thought was that I didn’t want to do anything today.

Come to think of it, today is Monday.

I stretched my hand to the side to pick up the water bottle, but a moan escaped my mouth without me realizing it.

“Ugh!”

My arm was swollen.

It was the reward for excessive physical labor the day before. Not only the arm that used the fist but also the muscles of the entire body screamed as a group.

Besides, I drank so much last night…

I gave up on the water bottle and lay down straight again. Then, I closed my eyes and practiced the Great Ocean Mindfulness Technique.

The great advantage of stability is that it can be performed while lying down or standing.

Sssssssut.

The mana that flowed from the dantian circulated around every corner of the body and discharged alcoholic energy.

At the same time, it gently wraps the overworked muscles and reduces pain. It wasn’t a perfect treatment, but it was at least first aid.

When I finished my training and opened my eyes again, I could see the ceiling of the tent.

After finishing our company dinner last night, our group of 7 (well, me and the kids) returned to my tent in the restricted area.

I could have gone to the hotel or the guild headquarters, but I felt like people around me would be noisy, so I came here because I felt comfortable.

I looked at the ceiling and yawned.

“Hmm~. “Let’s sleep a little longer.”

I didn’t mind continuing to sleep today. Because you don’t have to go to work at the guild.

-Thank you for your hard work today. Don’t go to work tomorrow and get some rest –

The moment I saw the text message Baek Chang-soo sent last night, I shouted, “Long live the CEO!” and turned off my phone.

Then I ordered more alcohol and drank it heavily.

“…For some reason, my bone hurt.”

After stumbling for a while, I could barely raise my upper body.

I saw Lily sleeping in an awkward position on the mattress on the other side.

“Cool…”

The pig witch who conquered a chicken restaurant last night was sleeping peacefully with her bulging belly exposed.

“Chicken… it’s delicious…”

He was talking in his sleep with the happiest expression on his face.

“Chicken…. fuck you Miss…. uncle…. fuck….”

This is why language education is important at a young age.

If you teach one word wrong, you can turn into an asshole in an instant.

“Hmm…”

The little boy turned over and scratched his chubby stomach.

The blanket I was given to cover me with was far away, as if it had been blown away by my feet.

“Ugh. “He seems like a little boy who needs a lot of work.”

I covered the little boy’s stomach with a blanket and came out of the tent.

As I breathed in the clear air, my mind became a little clearer.

I stretched above my head and slowly did tai chi to warm up my body.

About 30 minutes later, I returned to the tent after sweating a bit.

“Chicken… Oh no…”

The little boy was still sleeping comfortably.

I don’t know what kind of dream I was having that made me sing chicken so mournfully.

I lay down on the bed again.

“Of course, the best thing is to be lazy while playing and eating.”

Playing is the best. This is the truth of life.

If I hadn’t regressed, I would have been enjoying a happy life to the fullest by now… Fuck.

“Just thinking about it makes me angry again.”

Even if it’s unfair, I will retire much more luxuriously.

I felt like I had to earn dozens of times more money, become much stronger, make a lot of popular friends, and live my whole life without worrying about what other people thought, and then my personality would be resolved.

Anyway, take some rest today.

Growling.

When I checked my watch at the sound of the ship, it was already well past lunch time.

“Shall we eat something?”

I happened to get some good ingredients yesterday, so I was planning on making a new mana nutritional formula today.

After about an hour, I succeeded in creating something that had the color of hellish brimstone.

“…….”

I was momentarily lost for words at the sight unfolding in the pot, as if I had seen it before in the demon world.

Why on earth did this happen?

I put in all the delicious ingredients and even cut up half of the monster snail meat and the meat from the heart.

“…Well, things that are good for your health are meant to be bitter.”

That’s how I decided to convince myself.

I woke up Lily, who was still in bed.

“kid. “Let’s have lunch.”

“…….”

“Hey! “You’re not going to wake up?”

“…….”

“Do you think I won’t notice that you’re pretending to sleep?”

I flinch.

The little boy pretended to turn over and turned to the other side.

Hoo. You’re going to come out like that, right?

I mumbled to myself in a voice that Lily could clearly hear.

“I can’t help it. “I guess I’ll have to eat all the leftover chicken I packed yesterday by myself.”

After a while, the little boy stood up, stretching.

“Hmm. “I slept well~!”

“…….”

“Are we going to eat now? What’s on the menu? “Is it chicken?”

I handed out a ladleful of food from the pot to the little boy who blinked his big eyes innocently.

The second recipe of Rendain’s Mana Nutrition Meal.

It’s called [Snail Meat Soup, Return from Hell]

“This is today’s lunch.”

“…….”

Our eyes met for a brief moment.

And

“No!” “I won’t eat it!”

The little boy tried to run out of the tent, but before long, I grabbed him by the back and forced him to sit at the table.

“If you keep eating picky, you won’t grow taller.”

The little boy looked as if he had been poisoned.

“The food you cooked is not delicious…”

…It’s humiliating. I can’t believe I made a dish that was ignored even by gluttons like this.

I tried to control my expression and spoke seriously.

“It will be different this time, so give it a try. Even if it looks like this, it’s probably pretty delicious, right?”

“lie.”

The little boy looked like he didn’t believe me at all.

Of course, that goes for me too.

I scooped up the meat soup from my bowl with a spoon, put it in my mouth, and munched on it.

“Hmm? uh? “Is this better than I thought?”

“…lie.”

“If you don’t want to believe it, don’t believe it. “I will eat it all by myself.”

As I eagerly began scooping up the meat soup, Lily made a sad expression.

“Wow, it’s delicious.”

“…really?”

The little boy, who was worried, eventually lifted his spoon and took a bite of the meat soup.

and

“!!”

Sigh.

Lily, who saw my smiling face, shuddered and screamed out of betrayal.

“It tastes awful!!”

It was late in the afternoon when Baek Young-hee called.

When I turned on my cell phone, which had been turned off, there were about 20 missed calls and texts, but before I could check them all, the phone rang.

-manager! Why can’t I contact you like this? I turned off the phone…

I thought the nagging would get longer, so I quickly hung up.

“I kept sleeping because it hurt. “I overexerted myself yesterday.”

-Ah… I’m sorry. Are you feeling well?

“yes. so so.”

After practicing and resting well, I am almost recovered now.

After all, it’s good to be young.

“But what’s going on? “I’m making so many missed calls.”

‘I want to see you.’ I expected the same comment, but surprisingly, a business-related story came out first.

-I’ve contacted you because I have something important to convey. I need to form 7 teams in earnest, but I want to hear the team leader’s opinion.

Originally, when a guild operates a team, several members, in addition to the superhumans, move together.

The filming team, medical team, and equipment support team go to the scene together.

An operator who resides in the headquarters operations control room and relays the situation.

Even a secretary in charge of team schedules and paperwork.

The influence of these members’ skills on the team’s performance was by no means small.

-The field team has already been formed, and new recruitment announcements have been made for the assistant operator team leader and personal driver. I have quite a pile of resumes. Would you like to take a look at them in person?

There were always a lot of applicants for guild-related jobs because they guaranteed very high profits.

“How many applicants are there?”

-When I checked earlier, there were about 300 people in total… and it will probably continue to increase.

I had no intention of going through 300 resumes one by one.

“Please select good people.”

-yes. If there are no problems, everyone will be hired within three days.

“three days? “That quickly?”

Baek Young-hee said in a playful voice.

-That way you can take care of the team leader a lot, right?

“I plan to adhere to the working hours written in the contract?”

-no way. Of course it’s a joke~.

Baek Young-hee’s voice was slightly nasal.

Anyway, whenever I get the chance, I show off my talent.

“Do you have any other business other than that?”

-There are a lot. I have to explain about the corpse of the snail I caught yesterday, there will be a team leader meeting soon, and the interior of Team 7’s office…

At the same time, Baek Young-hee subtly continued talking.

-But I’m a bit busy right now with other things going on. How about we talk about it over dinner later?

It would be an ability to naturally create a number of cases and call them out separately.

Of course, I had no intention of meeting Baek Young-hee personally.

“Just call me. “If you’re busy, you can text me.”

-…He’s a completely iron man. all right. Then I’ll send you the rest via message. Is there anything else you need?

At that time, a face I saw yesterday came into my mind.

“Oh, there is one superhuman I want to recruit to the team. “Can you contact me first?”

-yes. Who are you?

“The manager must have seen it in the video last time.”

-…Me?

Younghee Baek showed interest in what I had to say.

Of course you saw the face.

But you’ll never guess who it is.

-I can’t imagine it at all…

I said with a grin.

“It’s Wang Guho. “He will be a useful tank.”

Wang Guho.

A naughty tanker from the Blackhound Guild.

I was thinking of bringing him on as the second member of the team.
