Episode 195
“Is everything okay?”
Rachel asked when she met Sihyeon for the first time in a week.
Those words sounded like ‘Do you believe in the Tao?’ and Si-hyeon laughed inwardly.
“Yes, nothing is wrong.”
Both work and the guild were extremely peaceful.
Although it was my first time holding an executive-level position as a manager, I knew so much about the security department that I could understand it even with my eyes closed.
There would be no other prison guard in the country who had a career like him in the security department without moving to another department.
In addition, since I had worked my way up from the lowest ranks, I fully knew the joys and sorrows of lower-level employees.
Because he had a long field experience, he was also familiar with the inmates.
So it was only natural that he would do well.
The Yangji Guild was also moving forward smoothly with a favorable wind after that incident that once again pushed the Sun Guild’s nose.
As the image of the guild rose, the number of guild members naturally increased.
It was not unreasonable to say that it was now almost a large guild.
It was a good thing.
Even if Sihyeon had a deep connection with the guild, her workplace was still a detention center.
However, this was where the released prisoners worked.
In short, it was no exaggeration to say that this was a place where the lives of those released from prison depended on it.
Si-hyeon also knew well that those released from prison had a strong sense of belonging to the guild.
And Si-hyeon, a prison guard, was fully aware of the societal views on those released from prison and the difficulties in finding employment.
Guild members would have experienced the same thing if Yangji Guild had not existed.
Yangji Guild was a precious home for those released from prison.
In a way, it was natural for guild members to have a desire for such a home to prosper.
“Is that so? You certainly look good.”
Rachel said.
“But I hear that a lot these days.”
Sihyeon smiled.
He continued.
“Then why did you suddenly ask such a question? Is there anything that’s bothering you?”
“Nothing special happened. However, I told you that because I was concerned that the prison guard might be involved in Iria’s great intention of letting this poor daughter stay here.”
“I see. I don’t know if it’s related to me, but I hope you find its greater meaning.”
Sihyeon received the words politely.
In fact, Rachel’s attitude was so polite to everyone that she had an aura that made others naturally be polite.
Even convicts with dirty personalities who had lived difficult lives became extremely gentle when talking to her.
“Thank you for your words. If you need even a little help from me while you are here, please feel free to let me know.”
Rachel said, putting her hands together.
It was rare for Iria’s first sword to be the first to offer help.
Her position was one in which she had to take on important work for the church and handle it as a top priority.
So, I couldn’t just promise help.
Nevertheless, the fact that she willingly said such a thing meant that she was deeply impressed by Sihyeon’s courageous fight against the emperor’s faction and saving many people.
“I really appreciate you saying that.”
Sihyeon also smiled and put her hands together to greet each other.
◈ ◈ ◈
“When are you going?”
Lenchik asked Jin.
This is because even though he said he would go at any moment, he kept putting it off and didn’t move.
Jin took a sip of the wine next to him with an annoyed look on his face.
“What’s so urgent? Just wait a moment. I’ll take care of it.”
“It may be nothing to you, but it is very important to me.”
“Do you think it is very important to get revenge by begging others?”
“….”
Hearing Jin’s mocking words, Lenchik frowned and clenched his fists.
“Relax. It’s okay to pretend to be strong when you’re not strong at all.”
“….”
Lenchik’s expression became more distorted as Jin continued.
As someone with high self-esteem, these were words that could not help but make him angry.
But he somehow endured it.
What was more important was revenge.
“If you keep doing this, I will tell Igni.”
Lenchik said.
Jin snorted after hearing that.
Then he violently threw the wine glass he was holding.
Clink!
The wine glass narrowly missed Lenchik’s face and shattered into pieces upon hitting the wall.
“Don’t make me angry. I’m telling you not to believe too much in the minimum respect for your fellow countrymen and to be outspoken.”
The thick murderous substance instantly froze the surrounding air.
Lenchik felt a strong sense of intimidation from Jin.
My body began to shrink and tremble.

But he persisted.
“…I meant it with that much urgency.”
Lenchik said through gritted teeth.
Looking at Renchik like that, Jin snorted again.
“Hmph. Well, anyway, I guess I’ll have to move slowly so as not to see your annoying face.”
Jin slowly got up from the chair he was sitting on crookedly.
“Thank you.”
“Shut up and open the gate.”
“…I get it.”
◈ ◈ ◈
‘Construction is almost finished.’
Sihyeon thought while looking at the construction site.
The most urgent task at the special detention center so far has been to restore the inside of the detention center, which was ruined by the fight with the emperor’s faction.
In particular, Hyris and Hurain had done so well that it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a place where the devastation of war had swept over.
The good news is that it happened some distance away from Sadong, the most important building.
Thanks to this, restoration work was able to be carried out without any disruption to Sa-dong work.
And the construction was now almost finished.
One big thing will be sorted out.
Sihyeon walked towards the security department building with a relieved look on his face.
Even though it is a bit far from Sadong, the construction noise was so loud that the employees had a bit of a hard time.
‘today… .’
As Sihyeon walked, he organized today’s schedule in his head.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Come on, everyone, let’s drink and talk.”
Sihyeon said.
Sitting in front of him were three new prison guards who had only been in service for a month.
They looked very nervous.
It would be natural for them to do so since they are in front of the heavenly head of the security department.
“Ah, yes… thank you.”
With slightly trembling voices, the new guards picked up the green tea in front of them and took a sip.
It was rude not to drink when the security manager told me to drink.
Sihyeon waited for them to put down the teacup before speaking again.
“Have you had any special difficulties while working?”
“doesn’t exist!”
The answer came out at the same time as if it were salty.
Sihyeon laughed inwardly.
This was because I knew that it would not be easy to talk about difficulties even if it was only for the head of the security department and the new prison guard.
Si-hyeon also had that experience when he was in Gyuyu, so he knew it well.
Not a single one of my classmates mentioned any difficulties.
I was worried that nothing would change if I said it anyway, and that it might give the manager a bad perception that he was a newcomer who couldn’t adapt well to organizational life.
So Sihyeon didn’t expect to get an honest answer when she brought up the topic anyway.
“I’m only saying this because it’s a position like this, but neither I nor the other prison guards want new recruits to quit right away. So, if you have any difficulties, tell me honestly. Don’t worry about it alone and then quietly quit.”
Despite Sihyeon’s words, the new guards’ answers remained the same.
“There really isn’t!”
“It’s true!”
At the same time, he gave a strong expression that showed he was sincere.
Sihyeon smiled softly at that expression.
“Is that so? Well, I’m glad if that’s the case.”
At that time, a new guard wearing glasses cautiously raised his hand.
Sihyeon gave me a look telling me to hurry up and say something.
“Speak comfortably.”
“…To be honest, I don’t have a strong personality, so I was worried a lot about dealing with inmates.”
“That’s quite possible. There are quite a few prison guards like that.”
Sihyeon nodded as if she understood.
Gyeongju’s words continued.
“But I was surprised that the inmates followed the guards’ instructions much better than I expected. That’s why I think I’ve been able to work well without any particular difficulties so far.”
The other newcomers also nodded with a look of sympathy.
“however….”
Gyeong-gyu with glasses got a glimpse of Si-hyeon and began to cry.
“What is it?”
“When I listened to the seniors, they said that it was when the security manager came here that proper order of acceptance began. Not just one person, but all of them. And from then on, I started to have a new respect and gratitude towards the security manager. Sincerely, once again. “I would like to thank you.”
It was extremely embarrassing to say that with a straight face.
Sihyeon said with a smile on her face.
“No, what should I do if this person… has already called Yongbiocheonga to his boss?”
“Huh? Oh, no… I’m serious, I’m serious.”
Glasses Newly waved his hand urgently.
“I’m just kidding. The difference between before and after is definitely huge. And if it makes it easier for new correctional officers to work, it feels rewarding.”
“yes….”
“What do you think?”
“yes?”
“So, we must continue this good performance, right? Please continue to work hard to maintain order in the future. One drop of oil can contaminate the entire water in the cup. So, always do your best in the company you are assigned to.”
“all right!”
All the new prison guards responded loudly.
“And today’s lunch is special, eating out.”
Sihyeon continued speaking with a smile on her face.
At those words, the faces of the new prison guards brightened.
“thank you!”
◈ ◈ ◈
“What do you like?”
Sihyeon asked on the way out to the outer gate.
Naturally, the newcomers were in no position to dictate the menu.
“I eat everything well.”
“So do i.”
“me too.”
“Then I decide the menu as I want.”
Sihyeon said with a grin.
The new faces looked good.
They know it too.
As a prison guard, I rarely have to eat out for lunch.
Unless you are working outside, such as transporting, you always have to eat at the detention center.
And it seemed like the newcomers didn’t really like the food at the detention center.
Sihyeon also admitted it.
To be honest, it doesn’t taste very good.
They had just passed the outer gate on the sidewalk when the man on duty at the outer gate saw the vision and saluted.
Sihyeon stopped walking for a moment.
His eyes were staring somewhere as if he had discovered something.
“Chief?”
The new members looked at him with puzzled eyes at Sihyeon’s sudden actions.
“Go in.”
Sihyeon said with a stiff face.
“yes?”
“It’s an emergency, go inside right away.”
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden….”
Sihyeon did not respond to that question, but took the TRS from the person working at the outer gate as if he had taken it away.
Then he switched to all channels and spoke clearly and accurately.
“This is Lee Si-hyeon, the head of the security department. I have confirmed that a gate has opened near the outer main gate. It is an emergency. Employees outside the main gate are requested to evacuate inside the main gate immediately. I would like to inform you once again. This is an emergency. Employees outside the main gate. “Please evacuate inside the front door immediately.”
Sihyeon’s remarks had a different power than before.
It was the power that came from his position as head of the security department, and it was the power of a hero prison guard who saved the detention center from danger twice.
He was no longer the ordinary prison guard who had difficulty even evacuating the staff during the gate incident.
“Gate, gate?”
The new employees and the front gate workers looked surprised.
And finally, their eyes began to see the shape of a gray swirling circle in the sky.
The moment they discovered it, their faces became thoughtful.
“omg!”
“Is that really a gate?!”
“Everyone, quickly get inside the front door!”
Sihyeon gave instructions in a strong voice.
“Okay, I understand!”
Newcomers and those working at the outer gate began to run inside in a hurry.
After looking at their backs once as if checking, Sihyeon turned his gaze back to where the gate was occurring.
That’s a weird gate.
Sihyeon, who had experienced the above gate several times and even managed to conquer it, could feel it.
The gray color of this upper gate is more dull and gloomy than that of other higher-level gates.
Coincidence prevented the worst.
If it had not been Si-hyeon who discovered the gate first, the people in the detention center would have suffered severe damage during the panic.
It was fortunate that I had lunch with the new prison guards today.
Sihyeon stood alone blocking the outer gate.
First, block it at the outer gate.
We had to buy time for the employees to escape to the front door.
At that time, monsters started popping out of the gate as if they had been waiting.
Goblins, orcs, ogres, trolls, gargoyles, lizardmen… .
All kinds of monsters were constantly pouring out.
“Krrrrr!”
“Kaaah!”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
A group of monsters were howling so fiercely that it was enough to make one tremble with fear just by looking at them.
Their murderous gaze immediately turned towards Sihyeon.
However, Sihyeon did not lose his composure.
He believed in the true power of Poachim.
“No one can pass by.”
Sihyeon declared, taking out the castle lord’s guard.
