Chapter 83 – Jeju Island

After spending a good healing time with Kim Kyung-sook, when I returned home, Jae-eun was back.
What was unexpected was that Kim Jin-ah was also with them.
“Is the playboy man here?”
Jae-eun seemed to notice that I had met a girl.
It was strange that I didn’t know because most of my going out was on that side.
Of course, I don’t even know that the woman I’m dating is Yuna’s mother.
“Are you here?”
Kim Jin-ah, who was sitting on her sofa in a neat suit as always, politely stood up and bowed her head to me.
When she has nothing to do, she turns like her sword, and the fact that she persisted until I came
It was that I had something to do.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Yes.”
“What happened?”
“I have been waiting for a job with good conditions.”
“Are the conditions good?”
“Yes. It is about the attack on Jeju Island.”
“Jeju Island?”
It was a sudden nonsense.
Jeju Island is a rift zone abandoned by the government.
When the cracks and gates burst for the first time, the mainland was also difficult, but there was no time to worry about crossing the sea.
That’s how Jeju Island became the land of monsters.
I want to restore it now, but there is no advantage.
Even if it was restored, there would be no Awoken to support it, so it was neglected.
“Yeom Emperor Kwak Sang-hyeon declared an attack on Jeju Island. And we are massively recruiting Awoken and supporter mercenaries to attack. Our company has also received a request for cooperation.”
Flame Emperor Kwak Sang-hyun is the Flame Guild Master and one of only 4 Class A Awakeners in Korea.
It was a named hero.
At level A, public awareness is very high.
That’s why even if you don’t work as a hero, you’re called a hero rather than a hunter.
Although the Flame Guild is one of the largest guilds in Korea, it cannot organize Jeju Island alone.
So, recruiting mercenaries was a natural procedure.
“Okay? The government will like it. Is that a good condition?”
There is no real progress on the government side, but it will receive public support.
“Yes. Conditions are very good.”
“How much?”
“Basic salary and allowance three times the industry average, tax exemption of income from this strategy.”
“Even the duty-free… I guess I ate my heart out properly.”
In other words, it was also said that it would be difficult to seduce the Awakened without those conditions.
“That’s why the hunter industry is in a frenzy.”
There may have been an agreement with the government to some extent, but only guilds use mercenaries.
That operating cost won’t be a joke.
“Wouldn’t the pillars of the Flame Guild be pulled out?”
“You seem to be thinking that way.”
“Do I need to do that? Why? Have something to eat?”
Why did the government not want to attack Jeju Island?
If you leave the dimensional rift zone for a long time, an unknown spatial distortion phenomenon will occur.
In short, you can’t look inside from the outside until you go inside and see it yourself.
Jeju Island is filled with untreated dimensional rifts, making it impossible to know what state it is in.
Comparatively, Incheon Songdo Gate is wide and easy to access.
Of course, rather than the dangerous crack zone across the sea,
It would be beneficial to build at least one more camp inside the gate, where the environment is good and the land is much wider, if the energy to be spent there.
“I don’t know what’s going on inside, but externally, the hometown of the Yeomje is Jeju Island. And I heard that the government also recognizes ownership in a large part. If the flame emperor doesn’t open his mouth to the end, it’s just a rumor.”
Still, I don’t understand.
Did you get homesick?
Well… I didn’t know.
“Hmm….”
The conditions were good, but I wasn’t attracted to it.
“The conditions are quite good, so I’ll try to tell you first.”
“I, pass.”
“All right.”
“Aren’t you going, uncle? I’m going….”
Jae-eun said something unexpected.
“Are you going?”
“Yes.”
To my question, Jae-eun answered lightly, as if going on a picnic.
These days, she seems to be working hard in and out of the gate with Jin-ah.
‘Is there anywhere that needs money?’
If it’s something related to money, I might be able to help, but I wasn’t the first to bring up a story like that.
If it’s really urgent, she’ll talk to me first.
Thinking about it again, there was no merit in my situation, but it was also an opportunity to earn a solid portion from the Hunter’s point of view.
“I will go with you.”
Kim Jin-ah and Jae-eun may unexpectedly match well.
“It must be dangerous….”
However, even though you may make a lot of money, it is not a joke, it is really dangerous.
It is an area isolated by the sea,
This is where the dimensional rift has matured for nearly 15 years.
I can’t imagine how many monsters the dimensional rift would have spit out inside.
Once you go in, you won’t be able to communicate well outside.
No one knows what might be there.
In the worst case, there could have been a B-class dimensional rift that had occurred before.
Then, even if there is a flame medicine, you may not be able to handle it.
“Mister, are you worried about me?”
“Well… That’s right….”
It was natural to be concerned.
In the meantime, even if you hit the skin-to-skin, it will be to the extent that there was none.
As if Jae-eun was happy that she was worried about her, she climbed onto my lap and kissed her on the cheek.
Even though Jina was watching, there was no hesitation.
I unconsciously put my hand on Jaeeun’s hip as usual.
And I was saddened by the thought that Kim Jin-ah was there.
Kim Jin-ah has an expressionless face, but she must be embarrassed that we are doing this in front of her.
“……Are you going to dry it?”
It is Jae-eun’s choice. Should I dry it?
I’m worried.
Because of that, she even thought about going together for a moment.
But I couldn’t follow him around because I was worried because I wasn’t his father.
If that’s the case, I had to stop Jae-eun’s Hunter activities.
“Hmm…If you want to go, you should go.”
“Are you giving me permission?”
“There’s nothing I can do but allow it….”
“No?”
“First and foremost, go in as late as possible.”
“Last?”
“Okay. I’ll have to go see the progress. I don’t even know what’s going on inside.”
I don’t know if one of the giant guilds is risking life and death to attack, so an enormous amount of manpower will be put in.
“I am of the same opinion.”
Kim Jin-ah was fortunate that she seemed to have intended to do so even if I hadn’t said it.
If she stayed with her, it seemed that even Jae-eun wouldn’t overdo it.
It was best to be safe even if you earned a little less.

After taking some healing time in the original world, I re-entered the zombie world.
Since the save point had already been set up on the Cheongju side, she had no reason to enter that tiring side.
It was dark all around.
In front of her was a beautiful woman wearing a hanbok and with braided hair.
It was snow white.
She looked at me and widened her eyes in surprise.
‘This is the first time this has happened.’
Is it because I spent time in Cheongju and came back?
Well, there was no curfew on the rooftop, and I was thinking that something like this might happen someday.
“Me, Mr. Nang!?”
Seolhwa screamed in surprise as if she had seen something she couldn’t see.
It was surprising that I suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
The sweat on her straight forehead and the sword she was holding in one hand.
Seolhwa seemed to be training her sword on the roof.
“This, this is… The axis method!! Also, Prince Nang… !”
If you listen to the words of the story, is it the feeling of suddenly appearing in the air?
Strictly speaking, it doesn’t seem like teleportation.
No, it seems to be right.
It felt like an instantaneous movement or not.
I understand you saw a strange scene.
Seolhwa was looking at me with her eyes twinkling uncomfortably.

“Oh, brother!!”
“Unlucky man!”
When I entered the break room, Jia hugged me tightly.
Han Soo-jin also seemed very happy.
It wasn’t that long since I left for Cheongju, based on the time here.
However, the children’s reaction was strangely dramatic.
Chaewon and the little ones were nowhere to be seen.
“What about the kids? Are you sleeping already?”
In terms of time, it won’t be that late in the evening.
“That, that.”
At my words, they made awkward faces.
“Chaewon and the children are in Heaven.”
“Why did you go there?”
I couldn’t help but be stunned by the story of Seolhwa that followed my question.
It’s only about a day at this time.
‘Eased it for a while, and then an erosion appeared at that timing?’
This is an almost perfectly clean area because I cleaned it up.
There was a really slim chance that an erosion body would come here.
Even if it goes to the outskirts,
Literally, this is the center of the clean zone, but you came all the way here?
In addition, an intermediate level corroded body that could not be seen even after searching for it like that came out.
‘That’s absurd.’
Having Chaewon and her children stay in Cheonbubu seemed to prepare for an emergency in which the escaped mid-level erosive body might reappear.
“Did you guys wait for me?”
“Yes. Husband.”
I can’t figure it out.
What?
Did you move around here in the meantime?
Or did you come all the way here to find food?
I thought about this and that, but of course no answer came out.
‘What…. Rather good, isn’t it? Great. Bastards are better than monster spiders.’
Upon hearing the news that I had returned, Chaewon and the little ones returned to the base again.
If I were there, it was safer to be on this side than on the heavenly side.
The little ones were hanging on, but I was in good condition to the extent that even that was not a nuisance.
Even this feeling will disappear in one day….
