Episode 175 To Japan (2)

* * *

“Brother! Welcome!”

As soon as they finished the immigration process, Ahn Young-ho greeted Kang-hu warmly.

It felt like watching Park Dong-jae No. 2, except that his voice was high-toned and different from Park Dong-jae’s low-toned voice.

In the eyes that Ahn Young-ho gave himself, the honey of respect and gratitude was dripping down.

“Long time no see, Youngho.”

“It’s really hard to bring you to Japan! I’m sorry. I should have tried harder.”

“Your uncle is listening in from behind, isn’t that too dangerous of a statement?”

“Ah! Ah! Is that so?”

While Kang-hoo was happily shaking hands with Ahn Young-ho, Suzuki Fumiya naturally took a seat next to him.

The Ricou Guild has solidified its position as the top 1 in the Kansai region of Japan.

He is the vice guild master of that guild. A considerable figure has emerged.

If it weren’t for Youngho Ahn’s maternal uncle, there’s a much higher chance that he wouldn’t be here.

Looking at Fumiya’s constellation information, it seemed like he was well over level 600.

Although he couldn’t compare to Jang Si-hwan or Chae Gwan-hyeong, he seemed to have the skills to easily surpass someone like Kang Dong-hyeon.

Then, Ahn Young-ho took a slight step back, and Fumiya was the first to ask Kang-hoo to shake his hand.

“Bangapsoom… … .”

“You can speak Japanese comfortably. I can speak it quite well, and I can listen well.”

When Fumiya tried to greet him in Korean, Kang-hoo spoke to him in Japanese with a bright smile.

Since there is no inconvenience in language, there are many convenient aspects in this area.

“Nice to meet you. I am Fumiya Suzuki, the vice guild master of the Ricou Guild and Youngho’s maternal uncle. Please call me Fumiya.”

“This is Shin Kang-hoo.”

“I heard that this is your first time abroad. How is it? Japan isn’t that different, is it?”

“It’s hard to tell just by looking at the airport, but the overall feeling is not much different from that in Korea.”

Kang-hoo nodded in response to Fumiya’s question.

It was the same even after I found out in advance.

Japan also has similar unspoken rules to Korea, so they say they don’t really touch airports or railways.

Of course, it is also likely that most of the power of the Japanese Hunter Security Agency is concentrated in these transportation facilities.

Anyway, thanks to that, it didn’t seem like there was any chaos or anything to be careful about around the airport.

However, the wanted notice that kept flashing on the electronic board was threatening.

Among them were electronic bulletin board notifications for some hunters with extreme tendencies.

[Yuji Ishihara]

[1st Class Wanted Person]

[This is a hunter of interest who has been indiscriminately killing hunters who entered the country from Korea and China.]

‘Yeah, there was that kid.’

In the original work, a story set in Japan was never developed as the main story.

In the case of the main character, Jang Si-hwan, the main overseas stages where he was active were the United States and Germany.

But there were some Japanese stories as well.

There was some information derived from Takashi, including information about Yuji Ishihara.

Yuji, who had anti-Korean and anti-Chinese tendencies, was a crazy murderer who even Japanese hunters despised.

Rather than saying he really has that tendency, it’s more like he made up a reason to justify the murder.

However, as the notice on the electronic board said, it was true that they were targeting hunters from Korea and China for no reason.

Even judging from the currently known levels, the level is over 500.

Moreover, because it was a combination of the characteristics of a berserker and an assassin, it was also a very difficult hunter.

So, he was a first-class wanted person, and despite the cooperation between the police departments of Korea, China, and Japan, he was still wanted.

Although we will be under the close protection of the Ricou Guild, we have decided not to let our guard down.

If you meet Takashi or do outside activities, you will ultimately have to protect yourself.

Just because the Rico Guild is friendly and considerate doesn’t mean they’ll take care of your every move.

Fumiya guided Kang-hoo to the safety limousine waiting in front of the airport.

It was a very special limousine, incomparable to the safety limousine I had previously ridden thanks to Jeong Yu-ri.

At first glance, it looked like a luxurious vehicle that could easily break into the hundreds of millions of dollars in a single drive.

Is saving Ahn Young-ho worth this much?

I thought it was excessive treatment, but on the other hand, I thought it was understandable since it was a way to repay him for saving my beloved nephew from a crisis where he almost lost him.

While riding in a limousine, we headed towards the Rico Guild building.

A more intimate conversation continued in the car.

An Young-ho, who was known to be very chatty next to me, kept his silence as much as possible, perhaps because he had a promise with Fumiya.

“When I first contacted Kang-hoo, his status has really changed a lot since then. Do you know that?”

“It seems that somehow, you have accumulated both notoriety and fame. Does the guild keep an eye on domestic trends?”

“Of course. We are also considering cooperation with Korean guilds to expand the guild’s scope.”

“What’s the progress?”

“I can’t tell you the details, but it won’t be easy because there are competitors. Haha.”

Fumiya’s words, with a bitter smile, contained a story about the Toushi Guild.

The cooperation of the Purification Guild is essential for operating in Korea.

Simply put, it can be said that it is difficult to operate domestically without the permission of the Purification Guild.

In fact, in the original work, Jang Si-hwan intentionally created competition among various guilds in Japan over cooperation.

Instead of cooperating, the goal was to maximize the rewards received.

At that time, I thought I was a very clever protagonist.

Thinking back on it from the perspective of someone close to the Ricou Guild, I thought it was really clever.

“okay.”

“Anyway, you were an important guest to begin with, but now you have become an even more important guest.”

“Thank you in every way.”

“Don’t worry. We are just making our own investments. I just want you to know that we are sincere in all our investments.”

“Of course.”

The Ricou Guild is the guild that most actively recruits foreign hunters.

This is also the background for how the Ricou Guild, which was originally outside the top 3 in the Kansai region, rose to the top position.

So this kind of behavior was not unfamiliar.

They will probably be judging the value of Kanghoo’s products in advance and proceeding with the investment.

Some people call this a ‘fool’s errand’, but the current status proves that it is not wrong.

“This is the list of dungeons you requested. Please check again for final confirmation.”

Kang-hoo, who received the documents from Fumiya, looked over the contents.

It was as confirmed earlier.

In order to aim for dark age farming, Kang-hoo intentionally listed the undead dungeons.

They were all on standby, ready to be attacked at any time. This meant that no hunters were inside.

“I see. You’ve put a lot of thought into it.”

“To be honest, it’s a dungeon that guild members are a bit reluctant to enter. The undead are often out of calculation.”

What Fumiya said is correct.

It is due to the undead’s characteristic numbness, ignorance-like patience, and castrated fear and dread.

So, if possible, you have no choice but to prefer going to a dungeon where the game flows as expected.

Right then.

An Young-ho, who was standing next to him, apologized and answered the phone, then glanced at Kang-hoo and Fumiya’s faces.

If it was a personal contact, there would have been no need to be concerned, but it seems there was some business involved.

As soon as Ahn Young-ho put the call on hold, Fumiya asked.

“What is this call?”

“I got a call from Takashi.”

Kang-hoo’s eyes sparkled.

You said that you’ve already finished prior coordination with Takashi. I don’t think there’s anything more to discuss about that.

Could it be that he is trying to cancel the meeting? If so, his plan to make contact with Takashi will become complicated.

He didn’t show it.

But I was really curious about what the conversation was about.

Soon, a conversation began between Ahn Young-ho and Fumiya.

“What kind of contact is it?”

“I heard he’s at the training grounds right now. If you can see him, why don’t you see him now?”

“now?”

“Yes, Uncle. I already knew that Brother Kang-hoo had entered the country.”

“Did you hack into the airport CCTV and see what you saw? It wasn’t announced to the public.”

“Uncle, how should I answer?”

“I don’t think this is something you should be asking me. Mr. Kang-hoo, how would you like to proceed?”

Fumiya asked Kang-hoo for advice.

Kang-hoo is usually the one who takes the initiative in meetings, but this time it was an exception.

It’s true that a thirsty man digs a well. And Takashi was more than worth it.

Kang-hoo answered right away.

“If it’s okay, please go to a place where we can meet right away. I can’t miss the opportunity to meet such a precious person.”

At Kang-hoo’s answer, Fumiya and Young-ho Ahn looked slightly taken aback.

Since Kang-hoo wanted it, we arranged a meeting and set up a place.

However, Takashi’s perception in Japan was really bad. He could be classified as someone to be avoided.

Why did Kang-hoo want to meet Takashi so badly? No one could even guess his true intentions.

Even Youngho Ahn, who trusted and was grateful for everything about Kanghoo, was the same.

* * *

The place where Takashi summoned Kang-hoo was the training ground.

Before arriving, Kang-hoo had thought of a training facility built in a private mansion or villa like Kim Shin-ryung’s.

Because that’s usually the case.

But Takashi’s training ground was an abandoned factory.

It felt like I was looking at an abandoned factory just like the one that had been targeted when Jeon Jong-du’s Osho mercenary group attacked him in the past.

Moreover, all the windows were blocked so that no one could see inside from the outside.

It seemed as if a special iron plate had been added to the inner window, or that it was just a single wall.

“Isn’t this going to disrupt your schedule?”

“No. Today is a completely free day for both Youngho and me. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Kang-hoo scratched the back of his head as he watched the two people who had suddenly accompanied him to the meeting with Takashi.

Since Takashi had warned them not to approach anyone other than those involved, the two had to stop here.

“Then I will go.”

Kang-hoo started to walk briskly towards Takashi’s training ground.

A sense of ugliness emanated from the weeds surrounding the abandoned factory, which had grown as tall as a person, and the roads in a mess.

Since it was Takashi’s clone and not his real body that was moving, it was inevitable that he would become even more indifferent.

Of course, Takashi himself – the main body – isn’t particularly neat, so his house is probably a mess.

Judging from what was mentioned in the original, he’s probably holding back because he finds it annoying to even go out to buy a bottle of water.

You’ll probably drink tap water in a hurry. And you’ll probably get a stomachache because the tap water doesn’t suit your body.

The moment you reach a point 10 meters in front of the iron gate that appears to be the main entrance to the training grounds.

chuck.

Kang-hoo stopped.

There were no warning signs or special markings, but Kang-hoo did not move any further.

“… … .”

And then, standing still, he began to take in the surroundings of the abandoned factory in one broad view.

Then I felt many tightly designed detection barriers, making it impossible to pass through any one place.

It was not visible to the eyes.

However, to Kang-hoo, who could sensitively sense the flow of mana, the flow felt like it was visualized.

‘This damn hikikomori has been messing around since the first time we met.’

The character ‘my river’ was clearly visible between Kang-hoo’s eyebrows.
