17. You’re Ugly!
“Do you understand? Marriage is about finding a compatible partner. But conversely, it’s important that you yourself become someone satisfying to your partner.”
“Ooh.”
“Strength? Being pretty? Ha! If that were all, I would have already circled this building twice with husbands!”
Slurp.
This damn coffee is impossible to quit no matter how hard I try. It’s similar to cigarettes.
“Don’t underestimate men! The days when you could just wink and they’d foolishly marry you passed a thousand years ago!”
“Th-then do it back then.”
“…”
Renea’s movement, who had been spitting and passionately speaking, suddenly stops at Kim Yang’s sharp remark.
Then she brushed off the dust from her apron and went outside.
“I-I cannot leave the shop unattended for long. I must go quickly.”
In the end, she ran away.
“Ah! Wh-where are you going!”
Baek Yeon-hwa, who had been seeking advice, wanted to catch Renea, but she was too fast and had already disappeared.
In the end, Baek Yeon-hwa, left alone, glances around nervously.
“Is… is it really difficult to marry through martial dueling?”
“…Come sit here.”
“Y-yes!”
Baek Yeon-hwa immediately hurries over and pulls a chair in front of me to sit.
There are two chairs in the office, and Kim Yang grumbles as her chair is taken and goes into the consultation room.
“Boss. Let’s buy some chairs. Cheapskate.”
Thud.
Kim Yang enters the consultation room, and I wanted to ask Baek Yeon-hwa something more seriously.
“Why do you insist so much on martial dueling for marriage?”
“…”
“Is it tradition? What was that sect you mentioned earlier?”
“Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect.”
“Yes, that’s right. That thing. By any chance, is martial combat marriage a tradition in the Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect? Did your parents get married that way too?”
In cases like this, parental influence is often involved. Especially since the Old Murim side values tradition.
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Then why? What’s the reason you’re so insistent on martial combat marriage? Do you want to prove your strength?”
If that’s the case, this would also be a wrong direction in terms of marriage values that needs to be corrected.
A husband isn’t a trophy to prove one’s abilities.
After pondering, Baek Yeon-hwa lets out a sigh, rubs her face dry, and carefully opens her mouth.
“Th-this is really a secret. You understand, right? If this gets leaked, I will definitely chase Merakl to the ends of the earth-!”
“I got it already. Why are you even threatening me?”
“…Actually, my martial arts aren’t entirely my own.”
Her martial arts aren’t her own?
“The Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect is about the harmony of yin and yang-.”
“Ah, sorry but I don’t know much about that, so please keep it simple.”
“…To put it simply, there are things called Yin Energy and Yang Energy. Usually women are born with strong yin energy, while men have stronger yang energy.”
It feels like I’m at a traditional medicine clinic.
Kim Yang is from the Old Murim, so I should have asked her to explain from the side.
“But I was born with particularly strong yin energy. However, the Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect is a place where yin and yang must be in harmony. I needed yang energy to match my strong yin energy.”
“So you need a strong man?”
I thought that’s roughly how it connected, but she shakes her head.
“No, I solved the yang energy issue by boiling and eating scales I received from the Azure Dragon, a divine beast, when I was young.”
“…It really must be a big sect, huh?”
“Quite prestigious.”
She essentially ate the body of a being called a god.
Her moment of pride is brief.
A shadow falls over Baek Yeon-hwa’s expression.
“But now, I’m the problem. The yang energy and yin energy are in harmony, but this power is so vast that I can’t handle it carelessly.”
“So in simple terms, you need a man who can suppress your power?”
“…That’s right.”
So that’s why martial combat marriage is so urgent for you?
The front and back make sense.
“Haven’t you tried to restrain yourself?”
“I, I have tried! No, I’ve been trying my whole life! But…! But it doesn’t work! I, I’m twenty-three now! My friends got married long ago at this age!”
The Old Murim tends to marry at a younger age. That’s why people from the Old Murim are somewhat popular.
They’re young but entered the marriage market early, and they’re even conservative so they only look at one person.
However, the flaw is that there’s no inventory in the market due to their conservative nature.
“I heard Merakl specializes in hunter-related professionals! Pl, please help me! Please?”
“Ahem.”
I cross my arms.
I got the feeling.
There’s no reason to insist on martial arts marriage anymore.
This way, it’s no longer bad inventory.
23 years old.
Decent appearance.
A promising top-tier expert in his teens.
A prestigious family.
Very appetizing.
Makes my mouth water.
“Sigh, it’s difficult but not impossible.”
“Great Hero!”
At some point, I became a great hero.
It’s not a bad feeling.
“Kim Yang!”
I called her right away to bring the documents, but there’s no answer.
“Just a moment.”
When I get up and enter the consultation room, Kim Yang is wearing earphones and using her mobile phone.
“…What are you doing?”
“Huh? Bo, Boss. Did you call me?”
“She’s totally obsessed these days. Go get the documents. Premium ones.”
“D-damn.”
“You’re the damn one. Earphones during work hours? Ha, what a great job you’re doing.”
“B-Boss. B-buy a chair or something. Th-there are only two chairs in the office.”
“There are chairs in the consultation room. I don’t have money right now.”
“D-didn’t you make a lot of money?”
I puff up with pride at Kim Yang who’s looking at me with a tilted head.
“Kim Yang, you see, investment is something that when you need to be aggressive, you have to be endlessly aggressive. This time Brimrock Smeltery and Dragon Horn Divine Clinic are in a bull market, so I put everything there—!”
“Sigh, Boss. I-if my salary is delayed again this time, I really w-won’t stay quiet.”
“This brat is making a fuss even when I give her information. Don’t worry. I’ll give you a bonus on top of it.”
“….”
Kim Yang, looking at me with suspicious eyes, quietly holds out her mobile phone.
“What are you doing.”
“R-recording. Say it again.”
“…There’s no bonus for you who lacks faith. Go get the contract.”
“Tch!”
A moment later, I call Baek Yeon-hwa to the consultation room and have her sit down.
On the table is a premium contract.
“Phew, Customer. Let me tell you first. Actually, finding someone with the level of skill you’re looking for is more difficult than you think.”
“Mm! I know that!”
What do you know.
Surprisingly, finding skilled people is easy.
There are worlds on the 3rd-6th floors after all.
The world is wide, and there are many strong people.
“Anyway, strength becomes a kind of spec, you know? Usually strong people have positions that match their abilities.”
“Just like how I’m one of the Top 10 Martial Masters!”
“Exactly right, Customer!”
A capitalist smile spreads across my face.
Our young lady communicates perfectly well.
“Now, shall we take a look?”
I deliberately brought a few lists of S~A grade male customers.
“This person is Kim Tae-oh, currently working as a teaching assistant at Hunter Academy. He’s A-rank. He has a reliable appearance, doesn’t he?”
“Hmm….”
Hmm?
“He looks a bit angular. His jaw is quite square too.”
“Ah, right? He does have a somewhat stern impression. Well then, shall we look at this person?”
Turning to the next page, a profile of a handsome man wearing martial arts robes appears.
“This is Mr. Mu Jin-cheon. As you know, he’s famous even in the martial arts world-.”
“That guy lost to me.”
“….”
“He has a really bad personality too!”
But Mu Jin-cheon is one of the top 10 masters.
I quietly move to the next page.
“This person is Luca Bradford. He runs a very famous mercenary group on the 6th Floor. You know that Cyber City on the 6th Floor is a place where you can get a hole in your head if you’re not careful, right?”
“Hmm, but he seems like he’d smell. I’m quite sensitive to odors.”
“….”
“I especially hate the smell of gunpowder.”
Next.
“This person is Edric Silverline, he’s a half-elf, and his age is still-.”
“An age difference of more than 100 years from me is a bit much.”
Sigh.
What’s with this woman?
“Listen, Baek Yeon-hwa.”
“Yes!”
“Please tell me your conditions. I’ll introduce you to someone who matches them.”
It would be better to hear her conditions and introduce someone who fits rather than just giving her what I have.
However.
“Huh? I just need someone stronger than me. I have no other conditions!”
Should I just kill her for real.
The problem is that this woman truly believes she’s like that.
I’m incredibly good at catching lies, but I don’t get that feeling from this woman.
“Hah, fine.”
Whatever.
Let’s just secure the contract first and think later.
If we keep talking, I feel like harsh words will come out.
Capital therapy is urgently needed.
“Shall we start with member registration first? The strong people you want are naturally high-grade, so you’ll need to contract at a high level. This starts from 5 million won-.”
“Um, excuse me-.”
“Yes?”
“I’m still in a position where I receive allowance, so I haven’t been able to save much.”
“….”
“So could I go with Basic…”
Hah.
That’s possible.
That can happen.
Anyway, she herself is S-grade material.
There are frustrating parts, but it’s not a problematic level.
Just as I’m catching my breath, Kim Yang rushes in with documents.
“B-Boss! That person came! Ugauga!”
“What? No, why?”
Before she could answer, an orc man filled the entrance of the Consultation Room.
“Huuuk! Boss! The woman you introduced me to last time rejected me! Next woman!”
“…Galosh, you’ve already used up this month’s meeting quota. You need to make an additional payment.”
“Just one more time please! Woman! I’ll really do well this time!”
Haah.
Customers who don’t communicate well like this come by from time to time.
While I’m wondering how to explain, Baek Yeon-hwa catches my eye perfectly.
This works out well for both of them.
To Galosh, that he shouldn’t cause trouble recklessly in someone else’s business.
And to Baek Yeon-hwa… an opportunity to make her realize she has standards she herself doesn’t know about.
“How about this person? This person doesn’t care about any conditions as long as they’re stronger than him!”
“Oh, ooh! Pretty! Pretty! You, be my bride! Me, strong! Let’s go! Make babies-.”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! But he’s ugly!”
The wind blows.
The moment Baek Yeon-hwa throws her punch, Galosh’s body folds in half as he rolls on the floor and collapses.
9
“…”
“…”
As Kim Yang and I looked at Baek Yeon-hwa in bewilderment, she said while breathing heavily.
“He’s, he’s weaker-! Huff! Huff! Than me!”
“Do you always launch a First Strike so suddenly like that? Are you from an evil sect by any chance?”
“Sur, Surprise Attack. Unfair.”
