07. Eldoras (4)

Eldoras Tower.

However, calling it a tower is only a hunter’s standard. Once inside, it never looks like a tower.

A collapsed stone wall. Stiff corpses strewn across the street. The fountain in the square, which once symbolized the heyday of the kingdom, had long since dried up, and it didn’t feel the slightest bit alive in a city without people coming and going.

The few surviving NPCs call this place this way.

The land engulfed by the plague is called Eldoras.

The city square of Eldoras. I saw a familiar face there, where many hunters who entered the tower take it as a starting point.

“Team 1 is in the front, group 2 is at the back, and the rest are waiting in the plaza as reserve! Bring only the supplies you need! Today’s goal is to test prototypes in real life, not attacking the tower.”

She wasn’t wearing the usual school uniform or fancy dress she’d seen before, but Yuna Klaprot, fully armed with equipment made by Klaprot.

Yoon Seo-hee, who witnessed the scene, widened her eyes. She seemed quite surprised as she had never expected to meet her here.

“Oh, isn’t that Yuna? What’s going on here?”

“Sure. And those people around are sure….”

The hunters move in perfect order under Yuna’s leadership. They were all armed with Claprot gear like Yuna, and among them was Ha Seok-cheol, the former Lord of the Dark Heavens.

It wasn’t just Ha Seok-cheol. A man with a shield and a woman with a bow… There was even Sang-woo Sang-woo and A-ran Im, who hunted banshee together during the terrorism at the fair.

It is full of prominent hunters, but surprisingly, Yuna seemed to be in a position to lead them. It felt very unrealistic to see a hunter of a semi-S rank listening to the orders of a seventeen-year-old academy student who was not even an incumbent hunter.

“Wait a minute. I’ll come and say hello.”

I apologized to the party for a moment and approached Yuna carefully through the crowded plaza.

But there were too many people around, and the closer I got, the more people around me were staring at me, wondering, “What is that guy?” It was full of hunters who did one strand at a time, and their gaze came to me with heavy pressure.

I can’t help it. It’s a little embarrassing, but the moment I tried to call Yuna from a distance, I was blocked by a woman with a blade that appeared to be an escort.

“Stop. What’s your business with the guild leader?”

“Oh, I am not a suspicious person… what?”

“Huh? You….”

I wondered where I’d seen this face, and it was her escort when I often went to her mansion to make gun blades.

I definitely remember her as Chae Yeon-seo.

I’ve never had a proper conversation, but I’m always right next to Yuna, so I only know her face. I don’t remember because I was unconscious, but during the raid on the mansion I was saved thanks to Kertatus.

Of course she will remember that I saved her.

Since they were familiar with each other, Chae Yeon-seo was wary. And where her vigilance disappeared, her doubts appeared. Why did the academy student come here? It was an expression that revealed the thought as it was.

That’s something I’m also curious about Yuna.

“I want to talk to Yuna for a bit. Is that okay?”

“Lady- No, the guild leader is busy right now. I don’t have time to deal with outsiders.”

Certainly, even looking over her shoulder, Yuna seemed very busy right now. She wanted to go back without interfering, but first, Chae Yeon-seo continued her words.

“… But if it’s you, you’ll be fine. Strictly speaking, I am not an outsider.”

Hmm? What is the change of heart?

Anyway, it was something I was thankful for.

Chae Yeon-seo tapped her device by herself and showed the appearance of contacting someone.

I couldn’t hear the contents because it was telepathy, but Yuna, who received the call, quickly walked this way. With her fine brow furrowed.

“Really, you are busy. What the hell is going on? If there is someone you want to meet, you can send it back on your own… Oh. Binary?”

Nervously grumbling, she immediately brightened up when she confirmed that her visitor was me.

I lightly shook her right hand as she seemed to welcome her, speeding up her pace.

“Oh my God! I see you all here. What is this?”

“Sure. I didn’t expect to meet you here either. What the hell is all this about? Who are the hunters here? And just now, I think he called you the guild leader.”

“Ah, isn’t it a bit noisy?”

Yuna looked around her once and she put on a worried expression for a moment, then she nodded her head lightly and said.

“It would be fine if it was binary. It’s no longer a secret… Huhu, don’t be surprised to hear it. I made a guild this time. In other words, the youngest guild leader?”

“You made a guild?”

After her final exam, Yuna seemed so busy that she couldn’t even set foot in her academy. I wondered what she was doing by submitting an absenteeism notice and skipping her classes altogether, but she never thought she would form a guild.

Even Ha Seok-cheol, who was involved in the Gate incident, Sang-woo Sang-woo, and Ah-ran Im, who were helped during the terrorism at the fair, were even embraced. No matter how worthy of Craprot’s name, his skill is admirable.

No, by the way.

“… Was a guild something minors could make?”

“Whoops, is there anything that can’t be done? Even minors can establish a corporation if they meet the conditions. You can’t enter the tower because you don’t have a hunter’s license, but there’s no law saying that a guild leader must enter the tower, right?”

Even if you say that, I don’t know how to fly.

Well, since Yuna is much more knowledgeable about that part, she must have handled it well without any legal problems. But, as she says, if she doesn’t have to enter the tower, why is Yuna here?

Actually, having heard this far, I guessed to some extent.

“Did you use the tour privilege too?”

“Does Lee Jin who says that look the same as me? Yes. It’s a system that exists, but we need to use it well. I asked my homeroom teacher to apply for a field trip.”

I was the chief with Jiwon, but Yuna was the second.

So Yuna was also eligible to apply for a tour inside the tower with the privilege of being an excellent student.

“You could say I am the CEO and the largest shareholder of the guild. The owner of the guild is me in name and reality, but there is someone else who will actually lead the guild members in the tower. But I’m also a famous guild leader, so I have to watch how the guild members fight, right? I also want to conduct a gunblade test… Something like that.”

“You seem very busy to use the word name color?”

“Yeah, well, it happened that way. There are more things to worry about than I thought. But that’s what I’m talking about… What the hell is Lee Jin doing here?”

Yuna opened her eyes and looked up at me.

‘Eh.’

She didn’t pay attention to her until now, but seeing Yuna’s clothes up close is more irritating than I thought.

Unlike the items that drop from the tower, Claprot’s equipment is pure workshop equipment. It has been chosen with such a modern design, and it is designed with an ergonomic design in new materials, unlike armor made of iron and leather… I think I’ve heard of it somewhere.

So, how to say, Yuna was now wearing a body suit that showed off her figure. She, of course, though she wore bulletproof gear over her bodysuit… Overall, the curves of her body seemed to stand out very much.

“It’s disgraceful to keep telling only me. Were you interested in attacking the tower? It didn’t look very like that. I thought Lee Jin was a born craftsman. Or, did he want to have a rare material that can only be obtained inside the tower? If that’s the case, I can save you as much as you like….”

Yuna leans on my shoulder with a soft smile.

Something about her was her sensual gaze and her atmosphere was very burdensome, so I tried to gently push her away so as not to feel her coldness.

But before that, it was faster for Yoon Seo-hee to come up to her and put her arms around me.

The appearance of approaching quickly without any pretense of popularity was indeed the youngest S rank down skill.

“Lee Jin-ah. Isn’t it a bit long to say hello? Everyone is waiting.”

“Oh, uh, sorry. Talking about it, I don’t even know.”

Munkle. Her crisp volume was palpable on her elbows.

“… ….”

Should I tell you this? Should I not say

She was confused whether she knew this or whether she herself did not know.

“Hello, Yuna. It’s a coincidence that we meet in a place like this.”

“I see. Fufu, it might not be a coincidence, it might just be fate… Nice to meet you, Seo-hee.”

“Nice to meet you too. But you look very busy, shouldn’t you go to work? I’m sorry we took up so much of your time.”

“Hmm….”

That’s how it will come out… It’s not too hard. Yuna whispered very softly. Her voice was inaudible, but it was read naturally through her analysis and reading the shape of her mouth.

“Guild Leader! Something went wrong on this side! I think you should come over for a while!”

I heard the voice of a guild member calling Yuna from inside the plaza.

“Yes, hold on! Coming soon! … Whew. It’s true that you’re busy. It’s a pity, but I’ll postpone the opportunity until later. Then see you next time, Lee Jin?”

Yuna winked lightly at one of her eyes and left, showing off her big blue eyes until the end.

As she left, Yoon Seo-hee narrowed her eyes and looked at me as if reprimanding me.

“What is the story so long? Did you two have a lot to talk about?”

Baek Ji-soo, who had followed Yoon Seo-hee, was looking at me with similar eyes.

Um. I am a little curious because I know how they are treating me. Are those eyes reprimanding me for wasting time on other things while busy, or are they jealous that I talked to another woman right in front of my eyes?

But I felt unfair.

For our plan, it was necessary to approach the group at least once without arousing suspicion.

I opened and closed my left hand, which had been holding the handle of the three-person sword all along.

“I found it. One rat.”
