by _rinnnieEven if you haven’t worked in a company before, there are some things you just know.80ade0af84eed09e
One of them is that in large corporations, it’s usually hard to have direct contact with the CEO.d69821c7beeeb6bf

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.031856a481dcdaee
Soon, Chae Gohae’s relaxed voice came through the receiver.65415b543b8d271e

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.cd331ca12c026daa

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.8106a7fd56160d48
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.61ab1d08ec5b7126

— It’s nothing much, just a personal matter. I have a favor to ask.47ff219641269293
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.1a05bb41c7e769a9

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.0b492aa06f37d468

I knew that. Goya’s timid personality wasn’t just shaped by his brother’s overshadowing presence.effdedd807eb2a2d
Unlike his highly respected ce59f54175 brother, Goya was a a888befeb2 middling C-rank with summoning 84e7b0d9bf defense abilities. Even the creatures 1260996853 he summoned were 0ca28906d2 Imoogis, not dragons. There were bound to 816efa7889 be whispers behind his 217c5e1a6e back in the guild.2e4779a3ae22ae1d

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.a992e701b7a257bb
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.df2e718551d6aeb8
