Chapter 16 – The Homemaker of the Blue Dragon Guild

It was my first day at work. While I was standing in front of the Blue Dragon Guild with a trembling heart, someone slapped my back.

“Ugh!”

Judging by the spicy taste, it was clear that he was a high-rank hunter. for example… … .

“Mina unnie!”

“Did you have a good weekend?”

… … Like Woo Min-ah.

Hee-na grinned, gently rubbing her smooth back with her hand.

After learning that Woo Min-ah was a high-ranking person in the Blue Dragon Guild, I felt a new sense of closeness between me and Woo Min-ah.

‘I can’t believe I’m holding a golden rope!’

As long as Woo Min-ah is in this guild and this relationship does not break down, he will not be fired from this company.

As I thought about that, the muscles on my face melted into a grin.

Woo Min-ah, who was quietly watching Hee-na’s face, made a strange expression.

“Why, what happened? Why do you look so good?”

“I guess it’s because I liked the house and rested well.”

Hee-na straightened her flaccid facial muscles. I didn’t want to be seen as a strange person who was only good at grilling meat.

“Well, that makes me feel good. You were hired right on the spot? That doesn’t happen often because the HR manager is strict. I guess he liked you quite a bit.”

“Ah… no.”

“Kang Jin-hyeon got into an accident again and I heard you took his side? I guess he got extra points.”

“I don’t think so.”

Hee-na recalled the attitude of the head of the human resources team who treated Kang Jin-hyeon like a troublemaker. It was a bit strange that I caught the attention of the HR manager because of that.

“Why? It’s only natural. He said he was impressed by the fact that he took sides in Kang Jin-hyeon’s accident in front of him, the hiring interviewer. Plus, the head of the human resources team is Kang Jin-hyeon, so he must have been more impressed.”

“Huh? My brother?”

Hee-na was very surprised. Although the cold atmosphere was similar, the attitude was completely disrespectful to others.

No, isn’t this a worse relationship than others?

Woo Min-ah giggled as if she read Hee-na’s expression.

“That’s right. He’s really my real brother. Didn’t you see the name of the head of the human resources team? It’s Kang Mok-hyeon. Kang Mok-hyeon, Kang Jin-hyeon. Don’t you feel like brothers? But in public, they’re like swords, so it’s not really noticeable.”

“Wow. I had no idea.”

“Everyone said so.”

At the same time, Woo Min-ah stuck out her thumb towards Hee-na.

“Plus, he did a great job promoting himself. I seemed to like him right away.”

“I did my own PR?”

Hee-na tilted her head at the inexplicable sound. All Hee-na did was to obediently answer questions from HR Manager Kang Mok-hyeon.

“Why, you know, you removed the slime essence without a special solution? Wow, that’s not an easy task. I guess your housekeeping skills are really amazing.”

Woo Min-ah continued to express her admiration and tapped Hee-na on the shoulder. Hee-na shook frantically at the touch and tried to grasp the situation.

‘Are you talking about wiping the slime off my shoes? Did you need a dedicated solution for that?’

For some reason, while polishing the heels of my shoes, my ‘wild fingertips’ automatically came into play. If I had to guess, it seemed like it played a big role in removing the slime essence.

While she was lost in thought for a moment, Woo Min-ah led Hee-na into the Blue Dragon Guild.

“Anyway, I really have to go to work now.”

Hee-na thought as she was half-dragged into Woo Min-ah.

‘Wow, maybe I caught two ropes?’

On your first day at work, wouldn’t it be best to drink some kimchi soup?

The first day at work was hectic, like most companies.

I signed an employment contract, greeted team members from each department, and received a briefing on the future work.

Because Hee-na joined the facility management department’s environmental sanitation team, she was given a simple uniform. It was a blue work t-shirt and waterproof pants.

‘oh. ‘It’s not as bad as I thought.’

Hee-na surprisingly liked the sophisticated design of the outfit. It was easy to move, and the material was resistant to stains.

“Since Hee-na is new, she will only have to be in charge of the 5th floor for a while. The 5th floor is a floor used by general employees, so it is not very difficult to manage.”

Kim Hwa-soon, head of the environmental beautification team, said.

She is a middle-aged woman who worked in the cleaning industry for many years before being scouted and joining Cheongryong as a team leader. Although he had a warm appearance, he exuded a strange charisma.

Hee-na seemed to know where this charisma came from. It was the experience and experience displayed by someone who had reached the pinnacle of a field.

Hee-na, who was in the ‘housekeeper’ class, was someone who was naturally respected.

“Hee-na, you have sharp fingers. I heard from the head of the human resources team that you have excellent cleaning-related skills? For some reason, you seem to be good at everything I teach you. I’m very happy.”

Kim Hwa-sun praised Hee-na. Hee-na blushed and spoke humbly.

“No. This is all thanks to the team leader’s meticulous teaching.”

“Hoho, you’re good at flattery too!”

What Hee-na learned from following Kim Hwa-sun during the afternoon was not only the work to be done.

The environmental cleanup team seemed to be in charge of simple cleaning, but surprisingly, there were a few Awakened team members mixed in.

It wasn’t high rank, just F or E or sometimes D like Gada Hee-na.

“As it is a place where hunters often go, there is a lot of work to be done, so we brought in non-combat awakened people. Although the rank is low, the total body strength is higher than that of ordinary people.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hee-na, who is a D-rank but has less muscle strength than an F-rank, nodded, feeling stabbed inside.

“Ah, it will be okay since you will only be in charge of the 5th floor for a while, but if you are in charge of the other floors where the hunters go, it may become a bit difficult. There are some rough parts to the hunters. If you are having a hard time, please tell me. I can warn the other team leaders.”

Hee-na sighed inwardly.

‘Somehow, even though it was an environmental cleanup job, the salary was much higher than average… … . The work must be hard.’

Still, I wondered if I had ever gotten a job at a proper company that paid extra and special allowances if I worked overtime.

This is because Hee-na has always worked for hellish companies that work overtime without any additional pay. Compared to places like that, this place was heaven.

As if Kim Hwa-sun was the last thing on his mind, he looked back at Hee-na.

“Oh, and Hee-na. Do you know Hunter Jinhyeon Kang? He is the number one hunter in Korea.”

“Yes. I know.”

In fact, we had already seen each other twice.

“Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon can make a mess or break something. Quite… often.”

“Yes.”

Thinking about our recent encounter, it seemed like that. When Hee-na tilted her head as if asking why, Kim Hwa-sun laughed heartily.

“But there is something called our guild’s image. Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon is like the face of our guild… You know you shouldn’t talk about things like this outside, right? You could get caught for defamation or something like that.”

It was a gentle voice, but it had bones. It was a warning that if you were caught using your mouth incorrectly, you wouldn’t even be able to recover.

“Yes. I will be careful. I don’t often talk about work when I go out.”

“That’s good. When I’m cleaning, I pick up a lot of all kinds of rumors. So something might happen where I have to be especially careful about what I say. The team member who left the company just before also left the company because of that. Be careful, Hee-na, too.”

“yep!”

Hee-na decided that she would have to live at this company as if she were deaf.

[Title: 5th floor lounge = good sleep spot]

Content: I want to live in the lounge on the 5th floor. It’s more cozy than my bed at home..

(comment)

– ㅇㅈㅇㅈ These days, I come to the pleasure of taking a nap during the 5th break during lunch time at work. I can sleep well just by putting my head on it

– (((Testimony))) Last time I had my period, I almost died, but I got better after sleeping here for 30 minutes.

└ That seems like a long time haha. I must have been mad lol.

└ It’s real. When my junior was not feeling well, I let him sleep here and he got better!!! don’t refute

└ I also agree with this 222222222 When I have a cold, I wake up after 5 days of sleep and it falls off.

└ What do you do when you’re sick? If you lie down and rest, everything will get better~ 5 days off is nothing special~ Hmm?

└ But it feels different from that?!

[Title: Hey, isn’t there a buff effect in the public lounge on the 5th floor?]

Content: Last time, the hunter lounge was full, so I went to the 5th floor lounge..

Hey, but the lounge on the 5th floor was nice and clean. It must have been remodeled ♪♩♬ (let’s use the right and kind words^^) I was surprised at how clean it was.

So I was a little upset. Haha.

With how much money we’re making, shouldn’t we pay more attention to the Hunter Lounge?

Anyway. That’s not the point!

I lay down anywhere on an empty bed and the system alarm went off.

What it says is ‘Your recovery speed increases by 20% because the bed you are lying on is comfortable.’ Really!

It felt strange, so I tried lying on different beds.

That alarm popped up in everything haha.

Hey, but why bring an expensive recovery buff item when only regular people on the 5th floor can use it?

♪♩♬(Let’s use the right words, kind words^^) ♩♪♬♩(Let’s use the right words, kind words^^) It’s ridiculous…

When I asked him, he said he was already famous among regular employees. It’s a good sleep spot.

What kind of sleep is this…haha recovery buff these are

(comment)

– What is it? Why do you bring a crappy bed to the hunter lounge and put items in the general lounge that don’t need recovery buffs? Shouldn’t it be changed right away?

└ A novel masterpiece. Yes, thank you haha

└ Hey, you all seem to be making money and doing that, right? People who can’t even process documents if we don’t do the work always think that centipedes are the only ones making money ㅡㅡ You too can’t make money without us ♪♩♬ (Let’s use the right words and kind words^^) Hehehe.

– I’m curious to go too.

– Hey, why are we fighting over something like this again? Let’s split into hunters and non-hunters and stop fighting. I’m sick and tired of it.

– I just went there because I was curious, and the recovery buff window actually pops up.
