Yeo Joo Saves the World
Part 3, Episode 1

Everyone’s Forum – [ Hunter & Guild Bulletin Board ]
(HOT!) Everyone my age is joining Justice Guild these days
It feels surreal
Back when I was a kid, Justice Guild was the national punching bag…
These days, honestly, everywhere you go people only talk about Justice
I’m a true Justice supporter from the womb—my mom did prenatal education with Eul Chan twin merchandise
Every single day feels exhilarating!!!
Honestly, this bulletin board’s traffic is dominated by Justice Guild, right???
Ever since Yeo Joo’s purification ability was revealed early this year
All those people who used to trash-talk our guild whenever the 5th Dungeon came up got completely silenced
It feels absolutely satisfying~
Those guys were probably just having their buttons pushed by Justice Guild’s incredible growth momentum anyway
Like the jealous supporters of other guilds trembling in envy~
If you’re curious about the Justice Guild narrative—how they went from near-bankruptcy to top guild in such a short time
Check out the posts below!

Ugh… Justice fanboys are disgusting…
– (Author) Yeah, next up is Sa Ma fans
People keep calling Kang Han "Captain Korea" these days, but wake up—he's a murderer's son
– (Author) Right~ Didn't your guild leader defect to Justice Guild too???
Insane lololol the author is hilarious lol go easy on them lol
Real talk lol Sa Ma fans must be crying lol

Wow Justice Guild's momentum is insane;;;
Is it true that Sama ranked 6th ㅠㅠㅠ
Crazy crazy crazy Justice finally hit 4th!!
Looks like Muwoon's Seoul expansion strategy worked!
under… sir… I don't want to look at the rankings anymore.
Isn't Justice Guild basically in first place already?
At this rate Justice might hit the top soon;;;;

Why are so many gates open in the metropolitan area these days?
Am I the only one who's anxious about this..
No, please tell me it’s just me who’s anxious ㅠㅠ
Maybe it's just my imagination
But lately it feels like S-Grade and A-Grade Gates are opening way too frequently
I'm so anxious about it…..
And we're already on the sixth double dungeon..
It's only June and we're getting one double dungeon per month..
Is this some kind of housing lottery or something
Do we need to live for today?

Comments
I'm not the only one who felt that way ㅠㅠ
It's not my fault. There was an article a few days ago (link). They say the number of high-level gates is unprecedented…
Is the world really ending
The reason the Apocalypse Cult is rampant these days
Don't worry too much. It's true that the Gate opens a lot, but there are just as many re-awakenings.
That comment is right, three people Awakened in spring and all as S-Grade
When I think about it, it gives me goosebumps. Two out of the three second-hand upper grades are justice.
No need to worry, the Dongtan S-Grade Gate that opened yesterday was just cleared by Justice
(OP) Already?! Wasn't it less than a day since they entered?!
(Comment writer) ㅇㅇ But it's a strategy to attack the Justice Guild and even the Korean-English duo are fake.

[ "The S-Grade Gate that opened in the heart of the new city and made countless hearts race has been safely cleared! This remarkable feat was accomplished just 30 hours after entry!"
"The record is impressive, but it was an uncommon Underwater Dungeon with high difficulty in strategy, and they handled it beautifully! The chemistry between Guild Master Kang Han and Hunter Sa Ma Young, the two S-Grade Hunters, is absolutely excellent!"
"Haha! I've been hearing people call those two the 'Kang Han and Sa Ma Young Duo' lately!" ]

Through the expensive speakers that cost a fortune, the excited commentator's voice resonated loudly.
They say it's pricey, but it's certainly worth every penny.
Thanks to it, I could feel vivid sound throughout the stream as if I had entered the dungeon myself.
The viewers watching the clear broadcast were equally caught up in the excitement.

– This is insane;;;;;
I've lived long enough to see Kang Han and Sa Ma Young working in the same Guild lol
– Wet handsome guy + wet handsome guy = paradise
– It's not a Korean/Young duo, it's a paradise duo lol ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ
– Oh, I guess I'm someone who laughs a lot
– What's with the Paradise duo combo; why do their combat synergies match so well?!
– I was worried because it was an S-Grade Gate, but later I felt bad for the monsters;;;
– Kang Han and Sa Ma Young's coordination is no joke
– Could they actually be really close friends????

No, that wasn't the case.
Kang Han and Sa Ma Young couldn't be called close, not even in jest.
'It's not that they dislike each other—it's more indifference.'
They regarded each other like oxen and chickens in the same yard.
Hating someone requires energy too.
These two didn't invest that much time or emotion in each other.
'Look at them now.'
Though they'd pooled their strength to clear the S-Grade Dungeon, there was no camaraderie from achieving a shared goal, no joy to celebrate together.
Kang Han was busy wiping water from his face and issuing orders to his guild members, while Sa Ma Young dragged the towel the Association Staff offered across his shoulders, irritably brushing back his wet hair.
Inside the Gate, they'd moved in perfect synchronization as if they'd rehearsed beforehand, but now their paths and gazes diverged entirely.
The viewers laughed at how oil and water they truly were.

Haha, they don't seem to be on good terms lol
I had a little dream there haha
Haha that's hilarious lol
It's crazy how we don't click at all, but there are teams that work well together even when they don't lol
– Literally just b.u.s.i.n.e.s.s
As long as we work well together, that's all that matters lol
It's honestly a miracle that those two are even under the same roof.
– But their visuals match perfectly;;;
– There's subtle chemistry though!!
– The two of them look great together??

The moment Sa Ma Young and Kang Han's faces appeared in the same frame, comments flooded in—"They look perfect together," "Great synergy," and the like.
Caught up in that explosive reaction, I found myself studying the highlight scene that was replaying intently.
Both Kang Han and Sa Ma Young were strikingly handsome, but their styles were completely different.
They looked like protagonists from entirely different stories.
So while they seemed awkward together, my eyes found the pairing several times more enjoyable.
"…I mean, it really does seem like something, doesn't it?"
I was unconsciously shifting my hips forward to get a better look when—
Clack.
"What seems like something?"
A familiar voice reached me along with the heavy sound of a plate settling on the table, snapping me back to reality.
I lifted my head in a daze to find Je Hwa in a black apron looking down at me with a tilted head.
'There's another protagonist here too.'
I answered without thinking, struck by that realization.
"The guild leader and Sa Ma Young. The comments are saying they look great together, and honestly, I think they might be onto something."
It was meant as a half-joking remark to share a laugh.
Je Hwa smiled faintly.
"It's not a bad combination."
But the words that came out were completely unexpected.
"Really?"
"Yeah, well."
Solid shoulders wrapped in a thin knit gave a slight shrug.
"I wish they'd just keep looking good together like that."
As Je Hwa said this, their gaze toward the TV, where the highlight video was still playing, held a distinctly unfriendly edge.
…The tension wasn't just between Kang Han and Sa Ma Young, was it.
Je Hwa untied their apron and sat beside me, who was pretending to see nothing with clouded eyes, asking in a gentle voice.
"By the way, didn't you say you were hungry, Yeo Joo?"
"Oh!"
What was I thinking.
I remembered I'd been waiting for dinner.
The steak on the plate before me was cooling.
In my haste to pick up the fork, a cold glass slipped into my hand instead.
"Drink some water first so you don't get indigestion. It's carbonated water with lemon."
While I nodded and moistened my throat, Je Hwa cut half the steak into bite-sized pieces and placed it before me.
"If I cut it all at once, it won't taste as good. Once you finish this, I'll cut more for you."
But really.
It didn't take much strength to cut meat.
"You should eat too. I can…."
"Today I cooked it with butter instead of olive oil—can you tell me how it tastes?"
