The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 14
The hot topic in the Hunter Community lately was undoubtedly the order of countries that Hunter Gangjinseong would support in gate conquests.
[NEW Where do you think Gangjinseong will go for his next gate?]
I’m betting on Japan for sure; upvote if you agree
Comments
└Germany seems like they’ll bring legacy items, I hope it’s Germany
└It’s obviously Japan, Ohyeongtaek is trapped there
└Please save our Hyeongtaek ㅠㅠ
└I hope it’s not America though, they didn’t even come to the Hunter Association directly
└They already selected their gate conquest team
└But it’s been a day and no announcement, they’re not planning to abandon Ohyeongtaek, are they?
The comment section was, as always, a battleground for users. Which country had the best rewards, which should be conquered first to benefit Korea later, and so on.
Amidst all kinds of analyses flying around.
A new post appeared.
[NEW! Holy shit official announcement is out, it’s Japan]
Comments
└I knew it
Nooo Hyungtaek ㅠㅠㅠ
└What’s important is what’s next after Japan, Germany or France?
└Thank you thank you
└What was Japan’s reward again??
I was able to catch news about my senior on the community I opened while hurriedly extracting oil after returning to the store.
It had only been about two hours, but in that time they had already finished a press conference and set the departure time.
Since the matter was what it was, things seemed to be progressing smoothly.
“The oil is almost finished too.”
As more lavender essential oil collected in the flask, I kept checking the clock.
My senior had promised to stop by the store to pick up the item before departing for Japan.
Ding-.
“Oh.”
The store door opened with perfect timing.
When I came out of the workshop to check the entrance, someone different from who I expected was standing there.
“Oh, hello.”
It was the man who had been next to my senior at the hospital.
The man with a slender build wearing a sharply pressed suit had neatly slicked-back hair and round metal-framed glasses.
Just looking at him, I felt like I could tell what kind of personality he had.
“I’m late with introductions. I’m Ean from the Hunter Association. I also serve as Hunter Gangjinseong’s chief secretary.”
The man who walked in with steady steps offered his business card with a completely different attitude from before.
The person who had been crying “Hyeong!” pitifully was nowhere to be found; the man before me had transformed into a professional office worker.
“Hunter Gang is busy, so I came to collect the item in his place.”
“It’s all ready.”
“Before that.”
“Yes?”
He suddenly placed a thick suitcase he’d been carrying on the table and began pulling out all sorts of miscellaneous items from inside.
“Excuse me, but would it be alright if we conducted a few tests? I’m responsible for Hunter Gang’s safety.”
The item he pulled out while saying this was a lie detector covered in rabbit stickers.
Seeing that confident customization, I could immediately tell which enchanter had made it.
“Please understand.”
“Well, sure…”
Being suspected wasn’t pleasant, but thinking from his perspective, it was perfectly understandable.
I placed my palm on the testing device without complaint.
“Is it true that you can alleviate mana addiction syndrome?”
I’d never tried it directly, but since Mimi said so, it must be true. I answered “Yes.”
Ding-a-ling.
When the machine made a sound effect indicating truth, Ean’s straight eyebrows shot up like mountains.
“…Do you have no intention of threatening Hunter Gangjinseong?”
“Yes, of course not.”
Ding-a-ling.
The result was the same.
Ean retrieved the testing device with a thoughtful expression.
‘Is it over now?’
It wasn’t.
This time he pulled out a gun-shaped item and brought it to the mouth of the oil bottle I’d made. This one also had rabbit stickers plastered all over it.
“It looks a bit odd, but it’s an item appraisal machine.”
“Is it Enchanter Shinnara’s item?”
“Yes, as you can see.”
Bang!
Item appraisal began with a strange sound. The status window I looked at out of curiosity was surprising.
…In a slightly different sense.
[Grade Unmeasurable (Unreadable) Item!]
[Could it be an incredible rare item?]
“…”
“…”
Ean cleared his throat with a “Ahem” and collected the item, but I could feel it.
That he suspected me.
“Thank you for participating in the tests.”
“Is it over now?”
“I have one personal curiosity.”
“Yes, please go ahead.”
“Have you ever used this item before?”
Strictly speaking, no. What I used when I fell into the gate was ordinary oil.
Ean, who had been carefully observing my face as I pondered for a moment, smoothly pushed up his glasses.
“This may be presumptuous, but would you accompany us on the Japanese Gate conquest? I trust Ms. Yebichnna, but gates are such unpredictable systems, aren’t they.”
What trust, when his eyes were plastered with suspicion.
“There’s also the risk that the item might not function properly, or could be lost or damaged.”
It was a reasonable point, but I had no intention of entering a gate again. That’s why I hired a part-timer.
“I don’t know if you heard, but that’s part of the contract…”
Just as I was about to convey my firm position.
^[Sub Quest Generated!]^
^[Accompany the Japanese Maze Gate conquest]^
^[Completion Reward: Stat Skill Tree Open, 1 Stat Point]^
^[Upon Failure: Time limit reduced by half]^
“….”
Mimi, just wait until I get my hands on you.

Meanwhile, at the emergency situation room in front of the Tokyo Gate in Japan, good news had arrived.
“Waaaah!”
This was because Hunter Gangjinseong had designated Japan as his first target for conquest.
The faces of officials and victims’ families bloomed with joy.
“Amazing!”
Among the cheering people, clear Korean could be heard.
It was none other than Shinnara, the guild master of Shilla Guild.
“Acting like no one would help! Ugh, we’re saved. Hyeongtaek! Just wait a little longer.”
After saying that, Nara rushed off somewhere.
It was none other than the headquarters situation room.
“Give me that!”
She swiftly snatched the item that a high-ranking Japanese hunter was holding.
It was the Teller, the latest research product from ‘Revive’, launched by gathering renowned researchers from around the world.
The Teller was an innovative item that enabled two-way communication between inside and outside Gates. It wasn’t a product just anyone could have even with money, but Revive had specially lent it to several countries during this global disaster situation.
“Hyeongtaek! Can you hear me! Gangjinseong is coming now! Just hang in there a little longer, okay!?”
Shouting louder didn’t make it transmit better, but Nara yelled into the Teller with all her might.
“Damn tin can, does this thing even work?”
She had been shouting into the Teller for hours, but there was no response.
Unfortunately, the Teller was an incomplete product. Although they announced communication was possible in some Gates, it was still just testing.
Just as trust in Revive was hitting rock bottom.
-Cra… wave terrain maze, fish monsters…
A faint voice came through the Teller.
Instantly, everyone in the situation room held their breath and focused on the incoming sound.
-…Healer needed, hypothermia, save Hyeongtaek…
Heavy silence descended.
A distress signal from an S-rank hunter meant the situation wasn’t very good.
The joy of hearing that Ohyeongtaek was still alive was brief, as Nara bit her lower lip.
“This is driving me crazy. What kind of maze has wave terrain? A healer, damn it, there aren’t even any more hunters to send in.”
At that moment, her secretary Jinwoon, who had been silently watching her back, grabbed her wrist.
“You can’t.”
“I know, if I go in too it’ll be even more chaos. But still…”
Just as she roughly tousled her hair and made a tearful expression.
Thud-thud-thud-thud- The loud sound of helicopter propellers could be heard.
“Korean support team!”
Nara jumped up and rushed out of the situation room.
Walking forward against the fierce wind, she looked up at the helicopter with its door open.
The figure of Gangjinseong standing tall beyond the dust cloud was just like…
A hero’s entrance scene from any movie.
Soon Gangjinseong leaped down from the helicopter.
Thoom-.
As his feet touched the ground, thunderous cheers erupted.
Just as Nara tried to suppress her overwhelming emotions and stepped forward.
She spotted someone in Gangjinseong’s arms.
“Y, Yebichnna…?”
