Yeo Joo Saves the World – Episode 83

“I’ll open the door for you!”
At the sound of Sung Yo Na’s voice, the door swung wide open.
Taking a single step out of the Subspace, I found myself at the familiar entrance of the Guild.
“It feels like riding some kind of amusement park ride.”
It’s almost like I’m dreaming.
“With this method, we should be able to prevent unauthorized outsiders from wandering into the Guild. Of course, if S-rank hunters set their minds to forcing the door open, we wouldn’t be able to stop them completely….”
As if remembering Sung Ro Sa, Sung Yo Na’s smile grew clouded.
Hmm. In that case.
“What about random doors?”
“Random doors?”
“Yeah. You know how there were dozens of doors like the one we just used? Well, only one of them actually leads to the Guild. And that door changes randomly each time.”
“Oh!”
“That way, we might not be able to completely stop S-rank hunters from breaking in, but at least we could buy ourselves some time. What do you think? If they try to force their way through, they’d have to destroy multiple doors.”
“I never would have thought of that! It’s such a brilliant idea!”
Sung Yo Na fell silent for a moment, lost in thought, then immediately set to work.
Moving back and forth between the inner door and the entrance, she seemed like she’d be busy for a while.
I didn’t have anything particular to do, but I couldn’t leave her alone, so I watched from a few steps away.
Like Im Chung Soo, once she got into work mode, she became incredibly serious.
“Random doors, random doors….”
Listening to Sung Yo Na’s murmuring, I found my teeth clenching involuntarily.
Where on earth did I get the idea for randomly appearing doors?
From that tacky and ominous status ailment roulette that appears when I overuse my skills.
Just thinking about the time ‘Unconsciousness’ appeared and I was knocked out in a semi-comatose state for hours still makes my teeth grind.
‘Damn you, System.’
At least the front door will be reinforced now, for sure.

The next day.
Just like yesterday, after breakfast, Sung Yo Na began bustling about with renewed energy.
“I’m thinking of upgrading the Training Facility today.”
“You’re not overexerting yourself, are you?”
An upgrade to the Training Facility—the very heart of the Guild.
I had no objections.
“This much is nothing! But what’s really urgent is… Im Chung Soo’s Secret Workshop, right?”
“Right. A shared space with Ji Sung has its limitations.”
Sung Yo Na nodded vigorously at my words, as if to say she’d handle it all.
“Where would be best to build it?”
“Hmm…”
I fell into thought while surveying the interior of the Training Facility.
Compared to how it used to be—barely better than a neighborhood spring water fountain—the difference now was like heaven and earth.
Yet there still wasn’t enough space to squeeze in Im Chung Soo’s workshop.
“Would it be difficult to expand the Training Facility further from here?”
It was a problem I’d been sensing all along.
With seven Guild members—no, eight now—conducting most of their lives here, the underground space that had initially felt spacious occasionally felt cramped.
“It won’t be difficult! This is a Subspace I created, after all.”
Sung Yo Na answered lightly, as if it were nothing at all.
“While we’re at it, why don’t we double the Training Facility’s size? And we can separate the dining area and kitchen!”
“Huh? Well, yes. That sounds good.”
“Perfect. Leave it to me!”
Before I could even fully process my own nod, Sung Yo Na asked me a few clarifying questions and immediately set to work.
But since this involved altering the space itself, I was pushed out with instructions to wait outside—and the bewilderment didn’t fade even as I left.
Had a god, rather than an S-rank Awakener, rolled into my life?

* * *

The next day again.
Sung Yo Na completed the Training Facility renovation in a single day.
The interior design remained similar to before, but as promised, the interior space had doubled in size.
In particular, the Simulation Training Ground had expanded to accommodate all guild members for mock battles simultaneously.
“I’ve also refined the simulation fidelity settings. It should feel much more realistic now.”
“…More than that?”
I should avoid going anywhere near that place.
The memory of facing the Dirt Dragon alongside Kang Han last time sent an involuntary chill down my spine.
“Sister, sister, can I go see my Secret Workshop?”
Im Chung Soo, who wasn’t at School since it was the weekend, pestered Sung Yo Na relentlessly.
“Sure, go ahead. It’s over there. The green door next to the Recovery Room.”
When I first offered to create the Secret Workshop, he’d been lukewarm about it, saying “it would be nice to have.”
Im Chung Soo’s back as he scurried toward the direction Sung Yo Na indicated was absolutely thrilled.
“Wow!”
Im Chung Soo’s jaw dropped as he opened the Secret Workshop door first.
“Im Chung Soo’s been completely won over.”
My jaw fell open too.
I’d only mentioned once that since Im Chung Soo was the guild’s cash cow—our primary source of income—he deserved a bit more attention.
Sung Yo Na had truly outdone herself; the Secret Workshop interior contained everything Im Chung Soo could possibly need.
There was even a dedicated space in the corner where Maeng Yi could rest and play.
“Chirp!”
Maeng Yi, who was always perched atop Im Chung Soo’s head, quickly bounded over to one side.
It was a wooden shelter shaped like a large cat tower.

[ ૮₍ ˶´ ꒳ `˶ ₎ა ]

The creature rubbing itself against the plush moss cushion was absolutely delighted.
Moreover, this space was spacious.
“We can dry medicinal herbs on this platform, and spread them out over there!”
Im Chung Soo, as excited as Maeng Yi and forgetting to mind his Seoul dialect, shouted loud enough to create a small echo.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
“But Chung Soo, you only collect medicinal herbs from the Dungeon? You don’t cultivate them separately?”
“C-cultivate?!”
Im Chung Soo’s eyes widened.
“Could we even build a greenhouse?!”
“It’s not difficult. Do you need one?”
“Of course I need one!”
“But I’ve never actually been inside a Dungeon—like a Jungle-type Dungeon where plants grow well….”
“As long as we can control the temperature and humidity, we can manage somehow….”
“Chirp! Chirp!”
Maeng Yi, who had been enjoying its new nest, came running over and chimed in as well.
Seeing the three of them—unusually small compared to everyone else at the sprawling Justice Guild—huddled together like that, they resembled a collection of small animals.
“It’s so nice to see the two crafting-type members thinking together….”
Wait.
What if Im Chung Soo actually succeeded in cultivating Dungeon plants?
I could practically hear the sound of a calculator running in my head.
‘Not only would we cut costs dramatically, but we might even be able to mass-produce…?’
The moment that thought struck me, there was no more deliberation needed.
“Hey! Me! I’ve been to a Jungle Dungeon before! Me!”
I shot up my right hand and ran toward them, shouting.
This was a money-making opportunity!
Money!

“Hmm, hm, hm♬”
Ten days into hiding at the Justice Guild.
Sung Yo Na hummed as she made French toast for breakfast.
Not long ago, she had been hiding in a Subspace she’d created in a Subway Station Restroom with no running water.
Even then, her stamina had been so depleted that maintaining it for just an hour or two was the best she could manage.
‘I thought it would all end like that.’
Now she was so happy.
The French toast she’d flipped was golden brown and perfectly cooked—enough to bring a beaming smile to her face.

“If there’s anything I can help with, please come find me anytime.”

‘Wasn’t it an incredible stroke of fortune that I remembered what Yeo Joo said to me back then?’
As I sprinkled fine white sugar through a sieve onto the finished French toast, I pondered this thought.
“Make it even more delicious, even more delicious.”
I carefully sliced the freshly washed strawberries and arranged them beautifully on the plate.
I wanted to do everything I could for the people of the Justice Guild.
They had accepted me when I was being hunted by Fantasia.
They had believed my words when I was falsely accused of murder.
So I wanted to do everything within my power to repay them.
Even if all I could do was prepare breakfast like this and gradually make small repairs throughout the guild.
Just then, the dining hall door opened, and Im Chung Soo—who always arrived first for breakfast—walked in.
Having finished preparing for school, he wore his uniform with his bag slung over one shoulder.
“Good morning, sister. I hope you slept well.”
Though he spoke little and appeared somewhat sullen on the surface, this younger brother always greeted me with such respectful courtesy each morning.
The fragrant aroma of morning breakfast.
The sense of stability I hadn’t dared dream of for years was now becoming a cherished part of my everyday life.
“Good morning, Im Chung Soo.”
Sung Yo Na beamed brightly at Im Chung Soo.
