Episode 86 Recruiting Team Members (5)
2024.06.15.

“Nature! It’s been a while.”

“What a coincidence. It’s a place like this.” When

Suzy happily shouted, Nature happily waved her hand.

“How long has it been? You look a little pale?”

“It’s been a while. Are you feeling okay?”

Saint and Peace greeted each other quite happily, but Elaine was the only one who smiled as if she was dumbfounded.

“What a coincidence.”

After shaking hands with each of the group members one by one, Nature awkwardly withdrew her hand from Elaine.

“I was doing some business around here, and I saw a post saying that Team Daphne was here, so I came.”

Suzy sighed as she watched Elaine and Nature confront each other.

Just talking about whether or not to recruit him had already made Elaine look uneasy, but since she had to face Nature before they could even come to a conclusion, it was obvious what would happen. ‘How did we end up running into each other

at this kind of timing again?’

The headache made even the joy halve.

Suzy pushed herself between Elaine and Nature to separate the two who would continue to growl if left alone, and reached out and grabbed Elaine’s arm.

It was a silent sign here that they should stop fighting.

Elaine wasn’t the one to start the fight, but since Nature kept hitting back every time she spoke, the conversation went on too long.

“So you came all the way here?”

“That’s true. I have something to talk about.”

“If we’re talking about stories, is it about the team? I heard that Nature contacted Saint.”

Nature smiled brightly.

“Uh. Actually, Daphne, I contacted you first. I need to check my email.”

“That’s true.”

“It would be nice if we could climb the tower together, but it’ll be a lot more dangerous than Nature thinks. An EX-class appeared on the 81st floor… … It’ll probably be even more dangerous above that. Still, do you want to join?”

It didn’t seem like something to talk about in front of a restaurant, but I wanted to find out Nature’s intentions first.

Nature looked surprised as she ran her hand through her flowing blond hair.

“EX… … Ramen, is it a higher level of SSS?”

“Yes. It was quite difficult.”

“… … Well, let’s try it first and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll back out then. Right now, I want to try it. As

long as there’s no problem with the number of people per floor.” It was true that the number of people per floor decreased as you went up, but adding one more Nature member wasn’t a problem.

Suzy nodded, saying that she had confirmed her intentions for now.

“Everyone knows how talented Nature is, so there are many places to go even if it’s not necessarily our team. But thank you for saying you’ll help me. I’ll talk to you after we discuss it a bit more.”

Nature nodded her head vigorously and opened her mouth as if she had just remembered something.

“Okay. And there’s one more thing I want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Are you checking public opinion?”

Suzy’s eyes widened.

As for the part where her name was mentioned, the dedicated manager was checking if there was any suspicious or incorrect information. Since

Yeonju’s aunt had gone back to the field, I heard that Manager Kim Ha-young, who was an ordinary person without a hunter name, was in charge of me.

Since then, I haven’t been able to properly contact her because of the chaos, but if there was a big problem, I would have contacted her.

“Is there something going on?”

“Um… … I don’t know what to say. I think it would be good to check it out. People like to talk nonsense without any basis. If we leave this alone, it will only make the fire bigger.”

Saint, who was in charge of gathering information within the team, had a face that seemed to have something to say. He sighed and handed the luggage in his hand to Nature.

“Help me carry this. Let me look at the bulletin board.”

Nature accepted it coolly, and took everything that Suji was holding in her hand.

“Don’t do that, Peace and I will go get it first. We can’t do anything with this much food that doesn’t even fit in our inventory. Peace will know where we’re going. We have something to discuss.” “Come slowly.”

“Is it okay for you to do that?”

Nature winked a little exaggeratedly.

“Hey. What are you talking about? It’s nothing.”

Saint, who had been rummaging through his terminal with his empty hands, raised his hand with his nose buried in it.

“Then I’ll go with you too. Since three people can’t ride on the Unicorn.”

“Then, go ahead.”

With that, Nature, Peace, and Saint set off first.

Suzy also got on the Unicorn with Elaine.

First, she contacted the dedicated manager to say hello.

After a few rings, a young voice answered the phone.

– Hello, Daphne! This is your dedicated manager, Kim Ha-young! As of now, Daphne’s vital signs are fine. Also, her stress level, which has been bad lately, has returned to normal! How may I help you?

It was a completely different feeling from Yeonju. Suji smiled slightly because her cheerful voice was fun.

“Hello. I was contacting you to check on you because I thought you were okay.”

– What do you mean?

“Aunt Yeonju… … Well, I asked Creusa for a few things.”

Kim Ha-young didn’t answer for a moment as if she was checking something, then spoke again in a bright voice.

– I was going to send you an email anyway because there was some new information! Since Daphne said she couldn’t contact you when she was at the top, I was going to contact you all at once later.

“The 82nd floor is the save zone.”

– So that’s why you can contact me. Thank you for the new information. I’ll make a note of it. Can I pass this information on to headquarters?

“Of course.”

Ha-young’s voice broke off for a moment, then quickly resumed.

– Since you have time, I will tell you the stories that have arrived one by one. First of all, it is true that the S-class wave occurred in three places at once because of the intervention of the members of the Messiah. It consisted of two AA-class hunters and one AAA-class hunter.

As she read it herself, she felt the content was strange, and her voice had a strangely questionable tone when she finished speaking.

However, Suzy was not particularly surprised. She thought it would be natural, and there was also Priya’s warning.

I don’t know what kind of being the ‘Lord’ that the ‘Great Beings’ were talking about, but it was definitely connected to the religious group called the Messiah.

“So, what happened?”

– She is being held under the orders of Lord Knight. Lord Knight said that if we try to get information from them, it would be obvious that something like last time would happen again, and Daphne would know. She knew

what happened last time without having to ask.

“You can find that power if you open the Akasha Box, where all things in the universe begin. It’s like a special privilege given to members of ‘Messiah’.”

Zero’s voice came to mind, and she felt goosebumps all over her body. She

didn’t want to see another person turn into a handful of ash right before her eyes.

Suji lightly bit her lips.

“In addition, I’d like to tell you that, just like in Korea, it’s becoming difficult to measure the starting point of the wave overseas. They’re investigating whether there’s an ‘abnormal status’ attribute.”

It seemed that Yeonju had diligently gathered information about each and every thing she had checked.

“Thank you for your attention. And is there anything else?”

“Oh, yes, and… … This is something you can know, but you don’t have to know… … .”

Judging from the fact that Hayoung’s voice had darkened significantly, it didn’t seem to be good news.

“What is it?”

“Malicious comments are suddenly being mass-produced among public opinion about Daphne-sama. Since Daphne-nim’s live broadcast ended, the number has suddenly increased, so I’m dealing with it as needed… … .”

“Is it something to worry about?”

“No, it’s not. I don’t think you need to worry.”

“Okay. I’ll contact you again. I’ll check it from time to time even if I’m inside the tower, so if there’s any urgent news related to Wave, please let me know.”

“Okay. Have a safe day today!”

Even when she hung up, her voice was full of energy.

She could feel that she was cheering her on, so Suzy ended the call with a smile on her face.

“What’s going on?”

Elaine, who was riding behind her, asked, tilting her head forward.

Suzy turned to look at his face and answered.

“No, what Nature said earlier… I think there must be something.”

“You don’t need to worry about what people are saying.”

Elaine was right.

However, when she thought of Nature coming to see her for that reason, she was curious about what people were talking about.

She hesitated for a moment and then logged onto the bulletin board on her terminal. Then I read a few of the most noticeable posts from the top.

[Title: Daphne, are you interested in politics?

What kind of speech have you been giving lately? Aren’t you giving free strategy videos

? It’s disgusting how you’re suddenly acting like you have a sense of superiority.

Is this because the presidential election is coming up?

└ What are you talking about. What’s the point of getting into politics, Daphne? Because you don’t have enough money? Because you don’t have enough popularity?

└ Why are you showing off your inferiority complex like this?

└ There are two years left until the presidential election; Come to your senses;

└ You must be thinking of climbing the ranks of the Hunter Association, right? I heard you’re giving up your knight position this time and returning to the field. LOL Your intentions are obvious. It must be a set-up game of Go-Stop.

└└ Why are you guys like this? Would someone like Daphne be interested in political status? Even if you’re a knight, you’re only a manager at best. Would you want that position?

└└└ It’s like you went into Daphne’s mind and came out; it’s not about the position; you can’t work in the field your whole life, so you’re trying to secure a stable position

. └ To be honest, it’s true that Daphne’s attitude suddenly changed. Even if it’s not political, I think there’s a reason.]
