11. Let’s Get Married!
Meteor, Yu Ye-na.
The mere appearance of her, who could easily compete for first or second place in firepower even among the Seven Extremes, was enough to throw the entire club into chaos.
Just moments ago everyone was an enemy, but now when Yu Ye-na steps forward, people part to either side.
Yu Ye-na’s ability is telekinesis.
Telekinesis itself is a common ability, but her output is absolutely fraudulent.
When you see her fight, it unfolds a scene that looks just like meteors pouring down.
Poke poke.
“B-Boss.”
“Yeah?”
Kim Yang presses with her hand on the unconscious Geum Tae-min who’s being dragged along by telekinesis.
“D-didn’t you say you had a bad relationship with that person?”
“That’s right… This man just said so himself. That she really hated you and wouldn’t even issue you a Hunter License.”
The two people look at me curiously.
How should I explain this?
I glanced at Yu Ye-na, but she just continues heading quickly toward the entrance.
She shows no reaction whatsoever.
She definitely must have heard everything though.
“Well, Geum Tae-min just didn’t know properly. He jumped to his own conclusions.”
“Th-then Boss, are you really the valedictorian?”
“Hey, wouldn’t that be a lie too? If he was valedictorian, that means he beat that woman too, how would that be possible?”
“That’s real.”
When I answer immediately out of wounded pride, Renea pats my back.
“Oh my! You don’t need to be so prideful. You were cool enough today.”
“…”
I wanted to say something back at the absurdity, but we’d already arrived outside the club.
Coming out from inside, my whole body feels refreshed along with the cool night air.
Outside, police cars and people from the Hunter Association have already gathered and surrounded the club.
After Yu Ye-na hands Geum Tae-min over to the police, she approaches us.
“There shouldn’t be any problems. We can’t resolve Baekdu Pharmaceuticals immediately, but we’ll definitely keep them in check. I’ll make sure to hide your identities.”
“Thanks.”
“I just did what needed to be done.”
She speaks expressionlessly and coldly, but that’s just Yu Ye-na’s usual expression.
She’s not angry or annoyed.
“…Don’t get involved in dangerous situations.”
“I know, I know. I didn’t plan for this to happen either.”
After I briefly explained why I came here, Yu Ye-na nodded slightly.
She seemed to understand that this incident was indeed a kind of entanglement.
Nothing more, nothing less.
We had finished talking, and I figured we’d just undergo some police investigation.
But Yu Ye-na was still standing there hesitantly.
“…Is work, manageable?”
“Work? It’s fine. It’s my calling. Meeting people is fun too. Though there are quite a few peculiar people and troublemakers.”
Thud.
Grandmother hit my back, apparently feeling called out.
“Right, you’ll have to undergo some light investigation. But don’t worry too much. I’ll talk to them about it.”
Though she changed the subject somewhat awkwardly, Yu Ye-na turned and left, saying she had nothing more to say.
“Well then, shall we go too? Even if the investigation ends quickly, it’ll probably be dawn… Let’s grab a meal at the Rice Soup Restaurant.”
“B-Boss.”
“Yeah?”
“A-Are you really just colleagues?”
Kim Yang’s question, with her keen sense of smell.
For a moment I held my breath and thought about hiding it.
But that would look even stranger.
As if there were still lingering feelings, wouldn’t it?
So I just.
Decided to be honest.
“She’s my ex-girlfriend.”
* * *
A few days later.
“Um, excuse me. Is this Merakl?”
Just as I finish interviewing one person and they leave, another beastkin enters the office.
Kim Yang skillfully greets them right away and guides them to a seat.
“We help you find your miracle. Welcome to Merakl.”
I’ve made her practice the greeting so many times that she delivers it perfectly without stumbling.
That’s already three people just today.
And all three are beastkin.
‘Yu Ye-na, I’m so grateful for this.’
Apparently there were quite a lot of beastkin involved in this incident, and some were even forcibly taken against their will.
Thanks to that, the news has been buzzing nonstop lately.
Since there’s no mention of us at all, it seems they’re keeping us well hidden.
No, they didn’t just hide us.
According to what I heard from the first beastkin who came, the Hunter Association recommended our Merakl to them, saying it would be good to try new encounters for a fresh start.
Yu Ye-na must have pulled some strings.
Thanks to that, Merakl has been bustling with customers lately.
My bank account was getting nice and plump too.
‘Hehe, this is why people need to have strong connections.’
Even though it’s the lowest membership tier, Basic, it’s still 1 million won.
[20,721,000 won]
My bank balance has been steadily growing ever since I received that marriage success fee!
‘Has my money luck kicked in? Should I buy a lottery ticket?’
They say people have periods when money flows in.
Right now?
Right now?!
I hum as I check the File Folder.
The file of ‘Customer Lee Cheol-su’ which could be considered the starting point of this whole incident.
He’s probably on a date with the Lioness Beastkin I matched him with right about now.
Even if things don’t work out with the Lioness Beastkin, that’s fine. There are plenty of other beastkin I can introduce him to.
‘I hope it goes well.’
Even if the world laughs at you.
Merakl will always cheer you on.
I smile warmly as I close Lee Cheol-su’s File Folder.
The next time I open this will probably be when I receive the marriage fee.
“Now, the customer who just arrived. Please come into the Consultation Room.”
“Ah, yes!”
Being busy was truly a wonderful thing.
After being incredibly busy without a moment to breathe, it was already four in the afternoon.
With one hour left until closing time, the flow of customers finally began to dwindle.
I finally straighten my back and sit down in the soft chair.
“Ugh! Kim Yang, how many people came today?”
“Seven people, Boss.”
“Wow, that’s the most we’ve ever had.”
“R-right. I thought this was supposed to be a cushy job.”
“…”
They say when the Company gets busy, the boss is happy but the part-timer dies.
You’re having some greedy thoughts there, Kim Yang.
Even so, Kim Yang made me a cup of coffee.
As I take a sip of coffee and relax my body comfortably.
Clatter!
“Waaaah!”
“We help you find your miracle. Welcome- What, it’s Grandmother.”
Renea, who hadn’t been seen for the past few days, bursts through the door.
“We’re closed for today.”
When I speak carelessly out of annoyance, Renea rushes at me with her fists clenched.
“Be quiet, traitor! You awful traitor!”
“Ack!?”
After the Yu Ye-na incident last time.
Renea started calling me a traitor.
She thought I was a lifelong single like her, so she feels betrayed that I’ve actually dated before.
But it’s unfair.
“No, it’s not like I actually did anything! We dated for maybe a month? I was too busy with training to go on proper dates, and we only held hands at most!”
“You’re still a traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!”
She starts pounding on my shoulders relentlessly. Since she’s a 5 million won premium customer, I can put up with this much.
I guess this is what you’d call a capital punch.
“S-so. Why did you come today? U-usually you’d get a call when there’s a match.”
“You told me to come, didn’t you?”
Right, I did tell her to come.
“The appointment was at 1 o’clock, so what’s the deal with showing up at 4:30?”
“Ahem, this lady was taking a nap.”
She’s really a total bum.
I heard last time that she’s living at the pavilion behind Daebong Mountain, and it must be true because not only does she smell like grass, but there are even leaves stuck in her white hoodie.
“If you won 100 million, get yourself a place to live.”
“Huh? No, if you’re under the trees, that’s home. Why would I pay money for-”
“B-Boss. Elf homelessness social problem. S-serious.”
“I’ve seen it too.”
It shows up on the news every now and then when you’re about to forget. Those elf bastards sleeping rough under trees.
And the things they say are quite something too.
‘We are part of nature.’
‘Under the Trees, does the 3rd Floor even restrict flowers from blooming?’
‘Just let it flow naturally. We are free and also natural.’
Bullshit.
It reminds me of that meme of elves lying under that huge tree at the amusement park.
Those things wouldn’t leave even after closing time, so the police came and it was complete chaos.
“Anyway! What did you call me for?! I’m busier than you think!”
“You just said you came from taking a nap, so what’s so busy about that…?”
“Ahem!”
With a sigh, I pull out the documents I had prepared to give to Renea.
“His name is Han Hyo-jae. Age 31. He works as a manager at a paper mill factory. Being a manager at this age means he’s competent.”
“…Huh?”
Renea looks at the photo.
You couldn’t call him handsome, but he has a neat impression with glasses.
“His annual salary is around 50 million won. He doesn’t have to worry about his parents’ retirement, and he’s pretty clean without any major flaws.”
“…”
Her expression becomes strange as she stares down at it. Then she even pinches her cheek, wondering if this is a dream.
“He said his preference is older women of different races. Anyone who’s not human is fine.”
“B-but… I’m 1,901 years old? Did you perhaps lie about my age?”
“I told you that’s illegal. Of course I told him.”
This time both Renea and Kim Yang are surprised at the same time.
“But I worked pretty hard to convince him. Even at 1,901 years old, your appearance is definitely decent.”
Pretty hard?
No, it was a desperate battle.
‘Sir, she may say she’s 1,901 years old, but you could easily consider her to be in her twenties. It’s actually an advantage, you know? Realistically, meeting an actual young woman in her twenties would be difficult with your grade.’
‘What? Dentures? No, what the… Look at the photo. These teeth. They’re really hers, okay? They’re clean, aren’t they?’
‘Dementia? She was even an Elf Queen! There’s absolutely nothing like that. If she had dementia, I would have taken the money and run!’
Really.
It was damn hard work, Kim Ju-seon.
“You’re F-grade, but since you paid for Premium… I really had a hard time-.”
Tap.
I point my finger at the alphabet on the documents.
“B-grade. You did really well, so let’s try getting married once.”
When I said it with a smile, Renea started tearing up and immediately threw herself into my arms.
“Waaaaaaah! Thank youuuu! I love youuuu!”
