Let’s use it when we use it (2)
The first place we headed to was the clothing section.
It’s fall, but winter is coming soon, so the store is selling winter clothes.
“Sam, what kind of clothes are you going to buy?”
“It’s winter soon, so I’m thinking of buying some padding to keep you warm.”
“Padding is good. Then I’ll have to go up one level. Follow me!”
Even though it wasn’t even a department store in her neighborhood, Ha-yeon wandered around the store like a fish in water.
While talking about the brand, price, cost-effectiveness, and recent trends, he chose padding for Sang-woo’s parents and younger sister.
All sizes were based on Hayeon.
“What is your mother’s size?”
“Um… a bit smaller than you. Not even one?”
“How about your younger brother?”
“It’s just like my mother.”
“What about your father?”
“Your father must be a bit taller than your mother?”
“Wow- Then, only oppa or teacher is the biggest in the family?”
“right. And just feel free to call me oppa.”
“… later.”
So I ordered 3 padding.
Sangwoo chose products from the same brand to give a sense of belonging to the family.
However, since the brand padding was an expensive product worth 1 million won, a large sum of 3 million won was paid in an instant.
Seeing the money Sang-woo spends, Ha-yeon looks surprised.
“Sam, are you a gold spoon?”
“no it’s not. I told you. I make a lot of money these days.”
“Wasn’t that a joke?”
“Really. Besides, I am a self-made man. Umhwahwahwa~”
“… Stupid.”
The padding is quite bulky, so I ordered the items to be sent by courier to my home on the day before Chuseok.
And Sang-woo was so grateful that Ha-yeon looked at her through the eyes of a woman, so he tried to buy her a pair of padding.
“Sensei Ha Yeon-ah will buy you one. Take your pick.”
“oh my god! Really?”
“huh. really.”
Ha-yeon looks excited to hear that she will buy it for her.
However, after thinking about something, he rejected it.
“Hmm… Come to think of it, I don’t think I’m receiving it. And I have one at home that I bought last year.”
“Last year’s one, last year’s off, just buy a new one. Sam will buy it for you.”
“are you okay. It’s still useful. And if a man spends his money so extravagantly, he can’t spend it.”
“Sigh- ok. Don’t regret doing what you ask to buy later.”
“… I already regret it a bit… would you just buy it for me?”
“Is that so?”
“just joke. lol.”
Ha-yeon laughed and refused, saying she didn’t like it.
It was a ridiculous push-and-pull between the person who wanted to buy it and the person who didn’t want to receive it.
In the end, the two of them finished shopping for clothes, excluding Ha-yeon’s padding.
“Isn’t the food store in the basement? Let’s go underground.”
After that, I went to the food store to look for healthy food.
What Sang-woo was looking for was a red ginseng set, perfect for a Chuseok gift set.
When we arrived at the basement, the delicious smell filled the store.
Since Chuseok is just around the corner, food stores are full of Chuseok food and Chuseok gift sets.
However, since the two of them had already eaten, they were not very interested in eating.
I went to the red ginseng store with the intention of buying only what I wanted to buy.
I also bought two red ginseng sets worth 300,000 won.
“Why are you buying two?”
“uh? uh… just. I want to give you one for mom and dad.”
In fact, it was bought for Ha-yeon to give to her parents, but it was Sang-woo who looked around because it was clear that he would not accept it.
“Aren’t you spending too much money?”
Sangwoo’s credit card limit is 5 million won per day.
However, with the price of 1.35 million won for rice, 3 million won for padding, and the cost of red ginseng, I spent almost 5 million won, so the limit was tight.
‘Was my card’s daily limit 500? I didn’t know this before, but since my spending is growing, the limit is really small.’
It was Sang-woo who decided to go to the bank and increase the limit.
After shopping, Sang-woo took a red ginseng set and tried to leave the store with Ha-yeon.
At that time, he saw protein supplements for health placed in a display case in one corner of the store.
‘Come to think of it, I heard that I need to take some supplements to grow.
Because the experience gained from the clones’ growth becomes Sang-woo’s, you have to pay attention to what the clones eat.
Because human muscles grow while eating and resting.
However, these days, I didn’t pay attention to it because it was reset every day so I didn’t have to feed it separately, but I had to take care of the meal because the term for resummoning became longer with 3 shifts as the alter ego became 3rd.
“Ha Yeon-ah, let’s go look over there for a second.”
“yes!”
The display case with supplements was small, but it didn’t seem to be very popular in food stores.
There is no staff, so Sang-woo is relieved and looks around for supplements.
‘Gainer said it was for body building… WPC WPH WPI BCAA Creatine… what is this all about? I don’t know what to buy.’
Sang-woo had no professional knowledge, so he couldn’t tell what was good and what was bad.
It was around the time I was about to turn around after looking at it like that.
There was one word that caught Sang-woo’s eyes.
The word on the supplement’s packaging was
[No steroid ingredient!]
Steroids.
‘Yes, steroids are bad for the body, so I shouldn’t have them. … go on steroids?’
Steroids are known to help with muscle growth, and the difference between eating and not eating is enormous. Instead, it was a dangerous ingredient to handle with severe side effects such as reduced immunity, abnormal hormones, and deterioration of kidney function.
‘…But what if I feed it to my alter ego?’
Sangwoo’s eyes changed.
It was the look of finding a fun toy.
* * *
At that time the World Hunter Association (WHA).
Michael Harris, a middle-aged white man who looks good in a suit.
Unfortunately for his slightly bald forehead, he serves as the president of the World Hunter Association.
He was now receiving a report from his adjutant.
“The Oracle foretold the disaster.”
“… contents is?”
“Liquidity portal creation and massive monster invasions by the hundreds.”
“What type of monster?”
“Among those confirmed, the highest risk grade monster was A grade. Nothing more has been confirmed.”
“Has the location and expected date been confirmed?”
“According to her words, most of the victims who appeared in Yeji were Asians who spoke Korean. It is believed to be the Korean Peninsula. And the time period is difficult to predict, but it is said that the clothes of the victims that she saw with her foreknowledge were light clothes suitable for autumn. It will most likely happen in the near future.”
“Right. Issue a disaster alert immediately.”
“What grade…?”
“…do it at the City level.”
The city-level disaster alert was immediately delivered to the Hunter Association in Korea.
Fire fell on the feet of the association that received the disaster warning.
“what? City level?”
“yes! Just got off the WHA!”
“Immediately send an official letter of cooperation to the guild. right now!”
Oh Byeong-hoon, president of the Korea Hunter Association, shouted.
1 hour after that.
In the meeting room of the Yeouido Hunter Association building, the heads of the guilds, which are said to be the best in Korea, arrived one after another.
Shin Hye-seong, leader of Korea’s No. 1 guild, Hyeseong Guild.
‘To think I’d have to be with Park Won-tae’s kid like that wall window… Ugh.’
Kim Il-gon, leader of the 2nd largest guild in Korea.
“I’m going to call someone for this and make them wait forever!”
Park Won-tae, the leader of the 3rd largest guild in Korea.
‘… Shin Hye-sung has become stronger.’
Yoon-hye Hwang, the leader of the 4th largest guild in Korea.
‘Heung men are…’ Bae Cheol-man,
the leader of the Goguryeo Guild, the 5th largest guild in Korea.
“A city-level disaster warning is a big deal. It shouldn’t be a big deal…”
Han Mi-ho, leader of the 6th ranked guild in Korea, Yolo Guild.
“I have pimples on my skin…”
…
…
…
Kim Yu-shin, leader of the Hwarang Guild, ranked 20th in Korea.
‘….
‘
Fortunately, all the leaders of the top guilds arrived and the meeting was able to begin.
“Now, everyone, please be quiet. We will proceed with the meeting.”
The meeting hall became quiet in an instant.
The head of the association, who was in charge of the meeting, opened his mouth.
“Thank you for your cooperation. As of now, a city-level disaster warning has been issued as of the present time. So the cooperation of the guilds belonging to the domestic Hunter Association…”
“When does it happen and where is it located?”
Hyesung Shin stopped talking and asked.
Hyesung Shin.
The neatly styled pomade hairstyle and taut skin made it hard to believe that he was in his 50s. However, he had impressive sharp eyes and was distorting his eyes more sharply as if he didn’t like something.
An uncomfortable state for anyone to see.
Is that why?
Despite the rudeness that cuts off his words and enters, the president of the association, Oh Byeong-hun, could not even squeak.
“… the specific location and time of occurrence have not been released. However, it is a specific state on the Korean Peninsula.”
Then Ilgon Kim, the leader of the Sun Guild, screamed.
“That’s what farts are! Are you saying that the guild should cover the entire Korean peninsula!”
Some of them were agitated by his words.
“you’re right. In a situation where there are not enough hunters to attack, prevent a disaster that may explode at any time. That’s all over the Korean peninsula… Our guild can’t.”
“We will also fall.”
“Our guild too…”
The lower-level guilds started clamoring that you and I would fall out.
However, the guilds within the top 10 seemed cautious about their remarks.
It was at a time when Oh Byeong-hoon, the president of the association, was at a loss as he couldn’t properly conduct the meeting and didn’t know what to do.
Park Won-tae, the leader of the Kenus Guild, who had been sitting silently, stepped forward.
“The president of the association, then how about doing this?”
“Yes, Captain Park Won-tae. What do you mean?”
“In each guild, the emergency response team should be prepared at all times and patrol only their base area first. And when a disaster strikes, let’s all come out and help, regardless of region.”
“… That sounds like a good idea. Any other opinions? If not, I will vote with a show of hands.”
More than half of the general managers agreed with Park Won-tae’s opinion.
Shin Hye-seong also didn’t like something, but he raised his hand and readily agreed.
“It has been decided. In each guild, please defend the base area well and maintain close cooperation. Vigilance will be maintained for 3 months. thank you.”
The meeting was so dismissed.
As the leaders of each guild rushed out, someone called Park Won-tae from behind as he left the meeting room.
“Hey Wontae.”
Shin Hye-sung.
Park Won-tae looked back at the voice calling him.
However, even though he was in his early 30s, he was already the guild leader of a guild and called him ‘Wontae-kun’. From the time he turned around, Park Won-tae’s expression had already hardened.
However, Shin Hye-sung smiled round and round as if his expression didn’t matter.
“…Do you have any business?”
“It was nice to see the progress of the meeting today. You must be from the Comet Guild as expected.”
“…If you have nothing to say, I’ll go first.”
“Whoa, wait a minute. Didn’t the Kanus Guild Attack Team 1 go to Odin’s Tower this time?”
When the story came out, Park Won-tae’s face began to rot.
The 1st team of Kanus Guild’s attack that entered Odin’s Tower had been out of contact until now.
“This is it~ It’s been almost a month and there is no news~ I wonder if the attack is underway, so I should be able to endure it. Is the attack going well?”
“… lose.”
Park Won-tae muttered softly.
“huh? what did you say I can’t hear you very well.”
“Shut up!”
Then Shin Hye-sung’s expression also hardened.
However, Shin Hye-sung soon changed into his signature round and round smile.
he said leisurely.
“You’re a friend who didn’t learn how to be polite. You should respect the elders. But…”
Shin Hye-sung passed Park Won-tae by his side and brushed his shoulders.
“As an adult, I have to understand. And iron the suit. Curl Curl What is that? Shave off your beard too. ha ha ha.”
So Shin Hye-sung left.
Park Won-tae was left alone.
His white clenched fists trembled.

Sang-woo and Ha-yeon finish shopping at the department store.
After the date, the two took a taxi to Ha-yeon’s house.
Sang-woo, who got off together, went up to Ha-yeon’s house and gave a red ginseng set as a gift to Ha-yeon’s mother, Mrs. Kim Ok-jeong.
“It’s Chuseok soon, so I’m here to say hello.”
“Thank you, student Sangwoo. I’ll eat well~”
“Thank you, teacher!”
“If you’re not busy, come in and eat some fruit.”
“Haha no. I have work… Then see you next time. Happy holidays.”
I gave the red ginseng and left Ha-yeon’s house.
I stopped Ha-yeon from seeing her off and sent her home.
“are you okay. It’s dangerous, so go home.”
“all right. I’ll talk to you!”
way back home.
Sang-woo called Jun-mo Kang.
“hello? Agent. Sorry in the middle of the night. I had an idea that suddenly came to my mind…”
– No. Any idea?
“In fact, the damage of the alter ego cannot be transmitted to me, right? So, why don’t you feed your alter egos steroids? I don’t think there will be any side effects for me anyway, and I’ll only get the benefits of muscle growth.”
– Steroids?
