Moreover, IDEA is the largest guild in Korea. Even though I had been summoned by Chae Gohae once before, and no matter how close I was with Chae Goya, it didn’t mean I frequently received calls from the guild master.0affeea3b8b4585b
Soon, Chae Gohae’s relaxed voice came through the receiver.6e2d2fe92ef336de

It felt like I should say yes even if it wasn’t. Come to think of it, he really isn’t like Chae Goya. Not in looks, voice, or even speech.3fe5a8cef39c9eaf

Chae Gohae hadn’t done anything wrong to me. But since he openly disregarded Chae Goya in front of me, it was hard to have good feelings toward him.8d6c4c170c0a6fa2
Moreover, he instinctively felt like a dangerous person. Whenever I faced him, I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling. It was as if a hundred sly snakes were writhing in his stomach.a07f7378bb36a110

— It’s nothing much, just a personal matter. I have a favor to ask.36a888fb49f8278e
Chae Gohae asking me for a favor? As I’ve said repeatedly, I’m just a D-rank hunter. Even as a member of his guild, the gap between us was like heaven and earth.e5808671020dd2fd

Goya is a capable adult; he could have asked me directly. Or is this a secret request behind Goya’s back? My thoughts were all tangled up in confusion.ab631bda92a37e15

I knew that. Goya’s timid personality wasn’t just shaped by his brother’s overshadowing presence.d531674143063c7b
Unlike his highly 686d3e904d respected brother, Goya dcbd057ae7 was a middling f0926c61bc C-rank with summoning d7c9a9e568 defense abilities. Even the 12681d6de4 creatures he 3efd5d1325 summoned were 4c006a4c29 Imoogis, not dd42cdd830 dragons.

Crushed by Chae Gohae’s words, I held my watch tightly and calmed my breathing. It was a relief it wasn’t a video call. I almost couldn’t control my expression.b745319af0c0601e
Fine, I admit I’m a bit of a slacker. I’ll gladly take responsibility for Goya’s training. Even with a 3-minute limit time, I can use my SS-rank abilities again after just a 10-minute rest.2342ab2c2e1222d4
