He was always a big guy, but today he looked particularly small.

‘It’s not my uncle’s fault. Did he always keep it in his heart?’

Every time I met Seung-hwan, I thought he was avoiding me, but when I found out the exact reason, I felt better.

I felt sorry for Seung-hwan who lived with guilt, and I was even more disgusted by the ‘great beings’.

When faced with a dangerous situation, his body would freeze and not move.

Even if Seung-hwan had responded appropriately, his mother probably wouldn’t have come back.

He was someone I couldn’t meet even if I went up to the 80th floor. He must be a bad guy.

Soo-ji sharpened the sword of revenge that she always had in her heart.

She felt that she would feel better only if she caught that grim reaper and killed him herself.

After receiving the equipment on the 9th floor, Soo-ji stopped by the press room with Yeon-ju.

On one table next to the stage, there were more than ten citations, and envelopes and boxes that seemed to be prizes were also piled high.

“There are so many rewards for conquering the 〈Laurel Tree〉,”

Soo-ji muttered as she looked around the room.

There were only a few unmanned cameras installed, and no reporters were gathered in the room.

It was Yeon-ju’s consideration, knowing that Soo-ji did not feel comfortable with interviews.

Often, when there was something suspicious, instead of calling in reporters, Yeon-ju would prepare photos and drafts of press releases and provide them.

Soo-ji took a few photos of the citations that politicians had given her, and put them down.

The prizes must have been prepared with care, because they were not simple gift certificates or money, but high-quality reinforcement stones or accessories that any hunter would covet.

For Soo-ji, they weren’t all that useful, but the prizes that came with them were better than the useless citations.

She packed a few useful items into her inventory.

“Auntie, then I’ll go.”

Yeonju reviewed the photo results and approached Suji with a regretful face.

“Okay. Are you going to the top right away?”

“I think Elaine is okay too. Please let me know if you hear any news from Nature.”

“Okay. Nature is also curious about your news.”

Suji nodded and hugged Yeonju tightly with both arms before letting go.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I told you so. You’re acting like you’ve left your child at the water’s edge.”

“I’ll go.”

“Okay.”

She gradually realized that having someone you love and cherish is a good thing, but at the same time, it’s also a fearful thing to lose it.

Suji took a deep breath and was about to leave when she felt a familiar presence approaching her.

“Elaine?”

“I told you she was here.”

Suji opened the door and went out, staring intently at Elaine’s face.

Her beautiful face was as calm as ever, making it hard to guess what she was thinking.

“How’s your condition?”

“Good.”

“Then let’s go.”

She had a lot to say to Elaine.

The story that Seung-hwan told me would also feel lighter if I shared it with him.

Su-ji felt a little strange about feeling this way.

‘Have I become too dependent on him?’

Why is Elaine the only one who feels this comfortable?

She thought of how Uncle Seung-hwan still can’t forget his mother.

Because they’re fair?

Yes.

That explains everything.

Su-ji wanted to put off thinking about Elaine, so she thought about the things she had to do right away.

“Let’s go quickly. Saint and Peace will be waiting.”

“Let’s go, Daphne.”

Elaine nodded and took the broadcasting equipment that Su-ji was holding.

The two headed straight to the tower.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“We should have gone too.”

Saint and Peace, who met at the trading floor in front of the tower, welcomed her with open arms.

Su-ji hugged them one by one.

“It’s okay. We took care of it quickly. You two had things to do, and Elaine and I were enough. Nature also stepped up.”

“You’re not hurt?”

Suzy smiled and glanced at Elaine.

Since when had he been so sly? He always thought of himself as honest, but he knew how to avoid conversation with an ambiguous smile. It was so sly that it made me think,

‘Is he hiding something from me that I don’t know about?’

“There’s no time to rush everything. We need to divide up the labor. Are you finished purchasing items and maintaining them?”

Perhaps because he was concerned about the problem with the last item purchase process, Saint would check the items very carefully every time he purchased them. Saint

showed the list one by one on the terminal.

“I’ve finished purchasing items. I’ve prepared basics like potions, traps, and bombs, as well as the ‘normal kit’ for filming.”

Saint, who was showing the list of items he had purchased this time, pointed to the end of the list and said.

“What’s that?”

Suji enlarged the screen where Saint’s finger had touched and smiled slightly.

“It’s interesting. It also fits the filming intention.”

“Then, what’s your schedule going to be like from now on?”

Suji looked up at the tower.

When standing up close, the “Tower of the Philosopher” would feel even scarier and more daunting. When you look at it from the side, it’s a visual horror that seems to stretch so high that you can’t see the end no matter how much you twist your neck.

However, the tower, which had always been her homework, the target of her revenge, and a source of hatred, was now just a middle ground she had to go through.

I can do it.

Right now, I can go to the last floor.

Absolutely.

If I can’t reach it, I’ll break the floor right below it a hundred or a thousand times, and I’ll survive the bet, and I’ll take revenge on the ‘great beings’ in some way.

Not being hasty or impatient during the given 100 days. But not too slow either.

At the speed I want.

In the way I want.

I’ll get there.

“I was originally planning to go up to the 80th floor today, and take a quick look around the 81st floor tomorrow.”

“Really?”

“Since Saint bought something fun, I think I’ll do a live today. And it seems like there are people who need a little recovery time.”

Suzy smiled as she placed her chin on Elaine’s hand while holding the filming equipment.

After Daphne conquered 〈Laurel Tree〉, the Hunter bulletin board was rolling along quite peacefully.

With three S-class waves hitting at once, it was a big part of the alert that this was not the time to be praising or insulting others.

In the past, only provocative and eye-catching posts that put others down or evaluated them were posted, but recently, there have been a lot of posts with advice, tips, and analysis for actually improving your skills.

In particular, the one that has increased explosively is posts recruiting parties to form teams and climb the Hunter’s Tower.

[Title: Jeju City Civil Servant (Please read*^^*)

There are many things related to public work that cannot be leaked, so this post may have many loopholes―― This is not fabrication… … .^^

There was something I really wanted to share with you about how we responded to the three waves that occurred today~

When I first heard the S-class wave announcement, I felt like my mind was going out of control… … .^^;

Oh no~~ If I were to speak for myself, I have been on the scene since the first wave and have been protecting your safety and the well-being of the country! Here’s one of the early hunter groups that we’re protecting~^^

The citizens must have been anxious due to the several false reports of alert level warnings, but they said the system was recently reorganized and it really is an S-rank~ It’s true~!

To be honest, at that moment, my colleagues and I were wondering if~ just in case~ Daphne-sama could come~~

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think so~~

But she really did come, that person~!!!

└What’s with this post? There’s no content… … .

└└… … Well. I think I accidentally uploaded it while writing it,

└You’re my senior, so please understand

└Senior~ The post~~ is cut off~*^^*

└└Isn’t this guy the worst? Delete it;

└I’m curious about the next post… … When will it be uploaded? It’s been 20 minutes

└└Oh, it might take a long time for you to write, senior! [Can’t wait for that either!]

[Title: Jeju City Civil Servant (I accidentally pressed enter *^^*)

Thank you so much for reading.

I’ve only been lurking every day^^ so this is my first time writing something like this, so I make a lot of mistakes~!

The atmosphere has changed since Daphne-nim actually came. The S-class guy was something I’ve never seen before, even with my 20+ years of experience, and he was a truly bizarre guy~

But because Daphne-nim was there, the situation ended without much damage~

I’ve heard stories about him often… … He was a lot stronger and more dependable than I thought~~

Daphne-nim didn’t go back right away~ but talked to us and then left.

To be exact~ she scolded us for our complacency.

The situation may get worse in the future, and Daphne-nim cannot cover everything, so she said that she wants to help civil servants improve their capabilities. Even more amazing, she said that if she wanted, Daphne-nim would lead them herself~!^^

When I listened to the words of the person who worked harder than anyone else to find the site, I felt humbled and thought that this is what cider is all about, and it felt refreshing~]
