25. Merakl Open for Business!
5th Floor, Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect.
As one of the prestigious sects with active exchanges with the outside world, it had now become one of the famous tourist destinations on the 5th Floor.
Naturally, outsiders couldn’t enter inside the sect, but the sect building harmonizing with the magnificent waterfall at the city outskirts was a famous spot where you could capture the perfect shot.
“Wow, amazing.”
“Look at this! They even sell martial arts uniforms here!”
The young couple who came for sightseeing from the 3rd Floor laughed while taking photos.
Especially when touring the 5th Floor, what people sought out most was none other than polaroid cameras.
Since the 5th Floor had no cell towers, mobile phones were naturally useless.
Of course, you could still take photos with your mobile phone, but experiencing the analog sensibility was precisely the unique charm of 5th Floor tourism.
What if you got lost or encountered bandits?
No need to worry.
The 5th Floor had the most developed tourism industry compared to other floors.
Swoosh!
A ‘Guide (tour guide)’ who had been watching from afar approached the couple using Air Walking.
Could martial arts skills put food on the table?
That era had passed.
It was now a world where even masters had to earn money to live.
They were making quite decent money as a kind of escort (travel guide).
“Do you see over there?”
As the Guide approached the couple and pointed, a woman could be seen in the building next to the waterfall.
Hair with black and blue hues intertwined. Elegant and graceful appearance. White martial arts uniform.
“That person is none other than Lady Baek Yeon-hwa of the Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect. She ranks among the top 10 masters.”
“Wow!”
“Top 10 masters?”
At the couple’s surprised reaction, the Guide nodded with a smile.
“You’re lucky. The Taegeuk Yin-Yang Sect is a sect that values the harmony of yin and yang through balance, and tranquility. She must be writing calming verses over there to settle her mind.”
“Amazing, amazing!”
“Poetry? Wow, I want to see it.”
“Ahem, it’s a very precious experience. I’ll take the photo for you.”
At the Guide’s words, the couple takes photos with the distant waterfall and Baek Yeon-hwa as their backdrop.
Click!
Whirr!
Click!
Whirr!
“Wow, you take photos really well!”
“See? I told you we made the right choice with this person. The reviews were amazing.”
“Haha, it’s because you two look so good together.”
The Guide, who doesn’t leave even after taking the photos, stands there awkwardly until the Boyfriend pulls out bills from his pocket.
“Thanks to you, we even got photos with a teenage master. Thank you.”
“Ahem! Don’t mention it! If there are any other good spots, I’ll definitely introduce them to you without fail!”
Having received his tip, the Guide quickly disappeared again.
This is exactly their job.
To give travelers the feeling of independent travel while ensuring their safety and that they don’t miss key spots from afar.
“They said he was quite money-minded, and it was really true.”
“Well, they also said his skill level is close to first-rate. He’s worth the money.”
“True, he does take photos well as the reviews said.”
The whispering couple looks toward the waterfall again. Baek Yeon-hwa is still gracefully writing her text.
“What kind of poetry do you think she’s writing?”
“I wonder. It must be something that transcends the world and human emotions, right? Like an immortal!”
“That would be really amazing!”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t poetry as the couple suggested.
Rather than transcendence, she was writing text quite deeply caught up in human emotions.

Great Hero,
Today I’m sending you my fifth letter.
The fact that there’s still no reply must be because you’re busy.
I believe that to be true.
It’s not bothersome or anything like that, is it?
Since letters from the 3rd Floor take some time to reach the 5th Floor, I’ll consider the waiting as part of the joy.
But Great Hero.
You wouldn’t happen to be talking with other women for too long while I’m away, would you?
I’m not being suspicious.
I’m just curious.
Come to think of it, Hunter Yu Ye-na came to visit.
She seems to be talking about various things with Azure Dragon, and she often says things like ‘our Juseon.’
Juseon.
She calls you by name so casually?
May I call you that way too?
Mr. Juseon?
Hehe. Just kidding.
I don’t get jealous or anything like that.
We share each other’s secrets, after all.
Ms. Ye-na doesn’t know about that too, does she?
I trust that only I know.
Anyway, Great Hero.
Half a year is truly long.
It’s only been a week so far.
Great Hero, please reply as quickly as possible.
At this rate, should I really come visit you?
Just kidding.
However, please promise me just one thing.
When Great Hero’s day comes to an end.
I hope the last face you think of is mine.
May you have peace today as well.
Your one and only Baek Yeon-hwa.
(P.S.).
I’m enclosing my photo.
There’s a very fascinating camera called a Polaroid.
I took it with that.
It’s our secret.
If you want, I could send more… daring ones.
If the Great Hero wishes-.
But what would the Great Hero want to do first when we meet?
I want to see the Great Hero’s face first.
Have a meal, hold hands, and then…
* * *
“Th-the rest I’ll tell you when we meet in person. I’m too embarrassed.”
Meracle Office.
Kim Yang tilts her head while looking at the letter and enclosed photo that came for Kim Ju-seon.
“B-Baek Yeon-hwa has already sent five letters just today. L-look at the photo.”
Renea, who was listening nearby, pokes her head out.
14
“Wow, she has such allure… Should I try something similar?”
Baek Yeon-hwa, posing while claiming it’s a secret, had a subtle sensuality about her.
“So did Boss reply?”
“H-he did.”
“Oh? What did he say?”
“Th-that she seems to be misunderstanding. That he could introduce her to a better husband candidate.”
“…It would be best not to go up to the 5th Floor for a while.”
“I-I told him that too.”
The two women nod and glance toward Boss’s seat.
An empty seat.
Kim Ju-seon hasn’t come to work for two days now.
“Huh, did he go to that place again today?”
“Y-yeah. Look at this.”
Kim Yang holds out a calendar.
It shows payday, now only three days away.
“I-if you don’t pay my salary-.”
“If I don’t?”
“Th-the beef I ate last time was delicious.”
“….”
“I-I’ll turn Boss into beef.”
Kim Yang was making a menacing warning.
* * *
It wasn’t bad.
No, it was definitely good.
There are times when money flows in.
I was definitely riding that wave.
Until that fucking Azure Dragon showed up, that is.
“Insincere management! Compensate for the stock crash!”
“Mistakes by security team! Losses for shareholders? What kind of nonsense is this!”
“Take responsibility for concert cancellation! Fans are no joke!”
Overall stock decline due to natural disaster.
Among them, ‘Wolfguard Tactical Solutions’ that I had invested in was taking a particularly hard hit.
A company that manufactures equipment exclusively for beastkin and also does security work as a side business.
The problem was the security for famous singer ‘Owl’ among the beastkin.
Azure Dragon’s Lightning Strike this time was classified as a natural disaster due to sudden climate change, but that doesn’t mean there’s no aftermath.
The place where the lightning struck happened to be the building where Owl was.
The electrical equipment happened to be damaged, causing a fire.
Owl’s throat happened to be injured due to smoke from the fire.
And Owl happened to have a tour concert scheduled.
Stock price plummeted due to Wolfguard Tactical Solutions’ inadequate security response.
The stock I bought at 9,800 won has now dropped to 2,100 won.
I couldn’t just sit still in an office where flies were buzzing around. I had just rushed over and was participating in the protest.
Of course, that was until yesterday.
The reason I came here today was a bit different.
“Please have some of this while you’re at it. It’s cold today.”
I diligently distribute instant coffee to the shareholders with a good-natured capitalist smile.
“Oh my, thank you.”
“Such a kind young person, coming all the way here.”
Even though it’s called a protest, there are break times. And what people do when they gather during break time is share stories about their lives.
“These days our son-”
“Sigh, our daughter too-”
“It’s hard to trust people these days-”
Amidst these various conversations, I immediately jump in with a smile.
“Your son is thirty? What does he do for work?”
“Our son? He’s just a civil servant. I was so happy when he passed the exam, but even that doesn’t pay that well. He doesn’t have time, so he has no chance to meet anyone.”
“If he’s thirty with a stable job, that’s pretty good, right? Do you have a photo?”
“A photo? Our son’s photo-”
“Wow! With looks like this, he’d get an A-grade at my company! With A-grade, I could even match him with hunters earning up to 300 million won annually.”
“Huh? Our son? Wait, more importantly, Juseon. You run a business?”
A-grade is pushing it.
But that’s something I can carefully examine one by one when they come later.
At least he seems like he could make B-grade, so I bumped it up one level.
“Ah, this is who I am.”
【Among countless worlds, we find your miracle.】
Hunter Specialized Marriage Information Company, Meracle.
I immediately hand over my business card.
“If it looks like your son won’t be able to get married, please contact me. I’ll find you a good daughter-in-law candidate at a cheap price.”
“But… you can really match him with a hunter earning 300 million won?”
“Oh my! Sister! They’re hunters! You never know when they might die outside the city!”
That auntie?
Chochi interrupts the auntie’s flow.
“Many people misunderstand. I’m a hunter specialist company. I don’t just look at simple profits, but consider profits along with the hunter’s stability, tendencies, hunting grounds, and other factors to assign ratings. Actually, now when public perception of hunters isn’t good is the real opportunity—.”
“Oh, Ms. Juseon. Could you take a look at our son too?”
“Our daughter is—.”
Don’t worry.
I brought plenty of business cards.
“Oh my, yes yes. Elders. Please show me.”
While they were talking for quite a while.
“It’s Owl!”
“I’m a fan! Oppa!”
The shouts of Owl’s fan club could be heard from a distance. He was entering directly into Wolfguard Tactical Solutions headquarters.
Then the factions split into two.
“You should manage your throat properly!”
“What kind of singer is that?!”
“Come on—! Think of it as saving us and just say it’s okay!”
The people who came to protest because Wolfguard Tactical Solutions’ stock price had fallen criticized Owl.
“What? What did our oppa do wrong?”
“The one who did wrong was the bodyguard!”
“Look at these old-fashioned people randomly pointing scopes at anyone!”
Owl’s fan club shouted back at those protesters in rebuttal.
As things seemed to be getting quite chaotic, I was quietly slipping away.
“Hm?”
The face of the woman in charge of Owl’s escort was overly familiar.
“Ryu Seo-ram?”
At my call, one of the Seven Extremes, Ryu Seo-ram, looks this way and tilts her head.
“Hm? Why are you there, Kim Ju-seon?”
Why are you there.
