“I didn’t know you could make this kind of armor.”

Outside Ifrit’s city gate.

Avant-garde standing on the path was looking at Han-bit’s armor as if fascinated.

[Armor of Fire with Embodied Chill]

Rank: 3

Grade: Unique

Equip Restriction: Strength 30, Stamina 30

Options:

– Durability 27

– Defense 31

– Chilling Cold Resistance 30 (+30)

Description: Armor crafted using poison fangs imbued with chilling cold, hides with high chilling cold resistance, and a fire abrasive. Thanks to creating layers with each material, it seems possible to act in slightly stronger chilling cold zones.

– Chilling cold resistance 60 ;;

– This can be made;

– Thought it was a troll seeing the material combination.

Armor crafted with materials of opposing attributes.

There wasn’t exactly anything complicated, it’s a principle similar to a boiler.

Since the fire abrasive used in the innermost layer continuously lowers the chilling cold value.

Anyway, it is an item made exactly as desired.

“Ah, he’s coming over there.”

At that time, Kim Jae-ha’s figure started being seen from beyond the path.

He who ran over in a hurry somehow didn’t have a good expression.

“Hyung, are you okay?”

“Uh? Why?”

“Your face doesn’t look good.”

“Ah…….”

At those words Kim Jae-ha stroked his own face as if a little flustered.

A character’s expression exactly containing reality.

It was exquisite to the point of revealing even detailed emotions.

“Your expression is certainly dark. Did something happen?”

Avant-garde also asked in agreement.

Then Kim Jae-ha shook his head and answered.

“I guess it’s because I couldn’t sleep. I hurried because I wanted to finish quickly. Ah, I can sleep later so you don’t need to mind it.”

The reason itself was reasonable.

Because if he actually finished this quickly, he wouldn’t have had time to rest either.

However, Han-bit wasn’t someone who couldn’t distinguish an expression coming out because of fatigue.

“Viewers, hold on a moment.”

He turned off the sound going out to the broadcast screen.

And looking at Kim Jae-ha, asked.

“How did it go with the company? Are they accepting the resignation letter?”

“The resignation letter is fine. The CEO isn’t the personality to hold back a leaving person you know.”

“Saying the resignation letter is… means there’s some problem.”

“…….”

Whether he was hit on the mark, Kim Jae-ha’s face hardened one level more.

Fingers continuously moving and lips biting slightly.

Anger and anxiety were clearly felt.

“Hyung, Yeon-woo wants to make a family-like company.”

“Uh?”

At the abrupt story, Kim Jae-ha made a puzzled expression.

However, they are words absolutely necessary for him right now.

“I’m saying you shouldn’t think of the previous company. If you swallow it inside even when there’s a problem, isn’t it no different from back then? Well unless you want to tease Yeon-woo as a black corporate CEO.”

“…I don’t think it’s exactly the same as there. Never.”

“Then please tell me what happened. If we agonize together wouldn’t some answer come out?”

It was Yeon-woo’s wish too, but Han-bit was also sincere.

Responsibility for bringing Kim Jae-ha to the company.

Not only that, the meaning of an existence called a colleague was extraordinary to Han-bit.

“I will also completely offer help with whatever. Since I didn’t join with a light heart.”

Avant-garde also prepared to listen to the story with a serious face.

Looking alternately at the two, Kim Jae-ha agonized.

However, it wasn’t a problem he could solve alone from the start.

To be able to prepare for danger rather, it would be good to prepare whatever.

He who gathered his breath for a moment looked at Han-bit and spoke.

“The Department Head made a threat. That he’ll sue you for assault.”

“…Assault?”

“He’s going to lie about the incident that happened in front of the company’s main gate back then. But since there’s no CCTV left……”

Kim Jae-ha continued explaining showing the message.

Completely unexpected contents.

It was dumbfounding from one to ten.

“It is truly vicious. But if it goes to a public opinion battle the possibility of being disadvantaged is large. Because attacking a celebrity’s morality is entertainment for the public.”

Avant-garde who pierced through many incidents that happened in RP.

A popular star being buried with a single incident was more common than expected.

Everything was a misunderstanding, there are no charges or evidence.

Because it was normal for such explanations to not even have a follow-up article written properly.

“Sorry. I got you tangled with such trash.”

Kim Jae-ha offered an apology while clenching his fists tightly.

Naturally it is not his fault.

Since you cannot blame someone if trash is dirty.

“Mmm.”

Han-bit agonized for a moment.

There is no problem offering something somewhat beneficial as per the Department Head’s demand.

Since even if he scoops it up with a spoon and feeds it to his mouth, he wouldn’t be able to swallow it and spit it out anyway.

However, even that was a little regrettable.

“There was no one at the company entrance back then, right? Such as parked cars.”

“Since we have a parking lot behind the building, there’s no space to park cars. As for passing people… I don’t remember.”

Kim Jae-ha who was receiving the Department Head’s tyranny had no leisure to look at the surroundings.

If it’s like this it would certainly flow as per the Department Head’s intention.

“Ah, come to think of it.”

At that time, Avant-garde who was retracing his memories brought up words.

“Didn’t Loafer-nim say he was dropping by somewhere after finishing the meal?”

“…He did.”

A scene remaining in Han-bit’s memory too.

After finishing the meal as four, Yeon-woo suddenly said he had a place to drop by and left his seat first.

He didn’t exactly have questions back then, but it was an abrupt action.

“Let me call him once.”

Han-bit who got curious immediately called Yeon-woo.

(Hyung? Aren’t you broadcasting?)

A voice heard not even taking 3 seconds.

Han-bit immediately delivered the story he heard from Kim Jae-ha.

Listening silently, Yeon-woo let out a short exclamation.

(Ah, as expected he does such a thing. Someway I was anxious.)

“What, did you know?”

(Regardless of the reason there was physical contact between you and the Department Head, Hyung. That mister also fell down alone on top of that. In these cases the possibility of a problem arising is high.)

He predicted the event that would happen early on.

The problem is the method to deal with it.

“You said you had a place to drop by back then, right? Is it because of that matter?”

(There is something my parents frequently say. Finding evidence running with your feet is also an ability. That thought suddenly came up.)

A story he heard so much his ears had scabs from his lawyer parents.

Yeon-woo who recalled that headed to the scene after the meal.

(There was a delivery motorcycle on the road in the direction the Department Head was standing. A vest with a bodycam attached was hanging there.)

“Bodycam?”

(The people doing delivery use them sometimes. Anyway I contacted the owner and purchased the SD card. The contents are well-contained up to the sound.)

The video Yeon-woo checked was recording from before Han-bit appeared.

Up to the scene where the Department Head hit Kim Jae-ha’s chest with a fist and poured out abusive language.

“A CEO is a CEO. I was a bit surprised this time.”

(Eyy, praise me a little more.)

“Hear that from Jae-ha Hyung. Anyway since there’s evidence too, I’m going to do as I please now?”

(What are you trying to do this time?)

Yeon-woo who felt something from the voice laughed in disbelief and asked.

Han-bit raised the corners of his mouth to a smirk and spoke.

“Gotta properly feed him sh*t.”

***

The three people shifted their steps towards the city gate again.

Hearing the words that they found evidence, Kim Jae-ha impressively became an relieved appearance.

“Are you a party? A new person came together with you.”

As they approached the gate, the soldier at the checkpoint from yesterday initiated a conversation.

“Hello. We also have a letter of introduction so we are trying to show it to you.”

“Ah, let me check.”

Han-bit handed the letter of introduction he received in Edlen and his adventurer card to the soldier.

He whose eyes got slightly bigger receiving and examining it.

“You had this kind of guarantor. I am from Edlen too so I am surprised.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I heard the news, but William-nim truly got falsely framed. Furthermore to think the culprit was Brook… it’s a lamentable matter.”

The soldier who spoke with a distant expression went into the waiting room.

Then returned with a single parchment.

“Take this and go to the Central Government Office. If you show it to the guard at the entrance, they will guide you. Ah, I will collect the given bracelets for now.”

– ?

– Why take the bracelets?

– What is this. Give it back;

– What’s the parchment?

The soldier took back the 2 black bracelets again.

The reason was simple.

Because he didn’t have the qualification to judge the visitors in front of his eyes.

“Yes, thank you.”

Han-bit who received the parchment completely entered inside the city together with the two people.

Ding-

[Episode 2: Ifrit in Crisis]

[Main Quest #1: Encounter]

Arrived in the new city Ifrit.

First, must go to this city’s government office.

Objective: Move to the Central Government Office.

Reward: 10,000 Gold, 2,000 EXP

Current Progress Rate: 0 Percent

The quest window that floated up at the same time as entering.

The episode only started after passing through the letter of introduction.

“What is not giving bracelets about? It’s the first time seeing something like this too.”

“I also didn’t even imagine taking them back again.”

Even without proceeding with the episode, when entering Ifrit, one receives a bracelet.

Because of that, this situation itself was fascinating.

“But what about that dwarf? Can he follow all the way to the city?”

Kim Jae-ha who was examining his surroundings carefully asked.

He hadn’t been seen since the meeting back then, but there was no need to worry.

“Since there’s another path, he’ll follow well. Ah, you hold onto this, Hyung.”

Han-bit handed the dog-tag shaped token he had since yesterday.

Looking at it, Kim Jae-ha spoke as if puzzled.

“Uh? Why? It’s fine if you hold onto it.”

“It’s good if the person who will learn metallurgy directly holds onto it you know. Anyway please put it away well.”

“Yeah? Okay.”

Kim Jae-ha who nodded his head put the iron plate into his inventory.

Avant-garde who was walking from behind sneakily approached.

“How do you plan to proceed? Since we will come out getting only bracelets from the government office, will you clear metallurgy right away?”

“Ah, you probably don’t know who decides the bracelet colors right?”

“Isn’t there a person in charge on the 3rd floor of the government office? I know they’re the entry control officer though…….”

Avant-garde said the contents he knew.

They aren’t wrong words, but the person to meet right now wasn’t such a position.

Han-bit looked at the towering blue-white building in the center and spoke.

“The person we’re going to meet right now is the Mayor of Ifrit.”
