“How did you come here again?”
“I want to see my mom. So I pestered her dad and lashed out.”
“this. Dad must be very busy these days. Then I can’t use it. “A child who pesters and throws tantrums is a bad child.”
“Is Mara a bad girl?”
“no. “I’m not saying that’s necessarily true.”
“Then can I pester Dad when he’s not busy?”
Then Seraph said, “Yes. It’s okay then. “If only a little.” He said and nodded his head. He felt absurd. He hugs Mar, who rushed over to him, and speaks to him one by one as if he is admonishing him, but I am not even paying attention to him. It’s not even a sack of barley. I just called and came, so what is this?
I cleared my throat intentionally.
“I heard you called.”
He spoke in a low voice, and only then did Seraph raise his head.
“yes. Su-hyun. welcome. “You worked hard today too.”
Seraph smiles calmly and speaks like a warm spring breeze. Suddenly, I felt something gently tickling my face. This is because the way she spoke seemed like she was greeting her husband who came home from work. … no. Why are you sneakily sitting to the side again? Do you think I will go and sit at the altar?
“dad!”
It was then. As I was about to sit down on the floor like always, Mar turned her head and extended her hand, calling me. I had no choice but to stop moving in that awkward position. Is it that good for radish? Her eyes caught sight of Mar, who was smiling loudly with her mouth wide open. The twinkling eyes say, ‘Dad, please come too.’ It seemed like he was saying this, so it was difficult to turn away.
Although I walked slowly, I ended up sitting at the altar. I sat down as best I could on the left end, but Seraph came closer to me as if she had been waiting for me, and in the end, we ended up so close that our bodies almost touched. shit. The part it touches rots… . No, it has a soft and sweet scent.
“Karr.”
… Is it that good? I think this is my first time seeing Mar smile so brightly.
“Su-hyun. for a moment… . “I ask for your understanding.”
Seraph grinned and asked for understanding and began to comfort Mar, who was at a loss. He holds the animal in his arms as it begs for petting and pats the animal on the back. I got a little grumpy and tickled her little white feet, and Mar laughed and started to struggle against her. I tried to stab it in the side, but Seraph looked at me with an embarrassed look, so I decided to stop.
A long time has passed. Marr was slowly closing her eyelids, probably tired of the constant fuss. Seraph hummed quietly as if singing a lullaby, and then Mar completely closed her eyes and smiled faintly. … Anyway, I guess we can finally talk about it now. While Mar is asleep, she needs to get her reward and get out as quickly as possible.
“sorry. “You’ve waited a long time.”
“doesn’t care. by the way… .”
“yes. “The reason I called Soo-hyeon is because the compensation for the previous request has been confirmed.”
“uh… . okay?”
“First of all, as a basic reward for the request, 100 gold points will be paid to each user rescued. Also, separately from that, I think you need to check the gold points accumulated so far.”
“… “Really?”
I tried not to do this, but I ended up saying it out loud. oh my god. Seraph won’t change his mind. no. As if that wasn’t enough, he is leading the conversation himself. It’s almost like he knows what I want.
『The ‘Rescue Western Continent Users’ quest has been completed! 43,100 gold points will be given as a reward!』
『Currently, user Kim Soo-hyun holds 10,857,460 gold points.』
The moment I finally saw the message floating in the air, I couldn’t help but be surprised. Even though the basic reward was the same, the gold points accumulated so far were enormous. Perhaps it was thanks to Kushan Thor’s awakening as a demigod. At that time alone, I earned close to 6 million. If you think about it carefully, it’s not a lot. I remember that when I got the zero code, I earned over 100 million won in gold points.
“Weapons, armor, accessories, spell books, etc… . A lot was said about the reward. However, I felt that none of the things I said above were enough to satisfy Su-hyeon.”
Suddenly, Seraph’s quiet voice was heard. Strangely enough, the way people call me today bothers me.
“wait for a sec. Seraph. You’ve been saying my name since a while ago… .”
“So, although it was already exhausted, I made a motion to give users the authority to open secret stores one more time, and with this motion being passed, I called Soo-hyeon.”
At that moment, I felt strength coming into my eyes. A secret user shop that can be opened by paying 77,777 gold points. This feature is only given once per user. So, in the first round, a funny thing happened where the user who discovered this function was unable to purchase it because he had no gold points left after payment. I also felt exhausted after completing my second rite of passage. But you’re going to give me that authority back? This is a no-brainer.
“hmm. good! Then, an elixir that can increase your stamina, no. There are no elixirs that can simply increase your abilities… !”
But I had no choice but to stop midway. Seraph was shaking his head excitedly. The feeling of being on the rise faded a little.
“… no?”
“It’s not that it can’t be done, but the elixir that can increase Su-hyeon’s desired stamina is no longer in the list. “Have you forgotten?”
Oops, I sighed. Now that I think about it, I guess I quickly ate the stamina elixir. There is only one elixir of each type that can increase abilities, and only one can be purchased at a time. Then the angel’s tears will be the same.
“Then what else? “There won’t be strength, durability, agility, magic, and luck elixirs.”
“That’s right. Each elixir has the effect of increasing the corresponding ability by 2 points, and at the same time the use function is revived, the ability to buy is also revived. “There is still a restriction that you can only buy one.”
I see I nodded and shook my head. It’s a shame that you can’t increase your physical strength, but at least this is okay. Satisfied, very satisfied. I heard that the compensation would be reasonable, but I never imagined it would be of this magnitude.
It was that moment.
“hmm… . “As expected, you don’t like the reward?”
Suddenly Seraph spoke nonsense. I felt strange. Why do you arbitrarily assume that I won’t like the reward?
“It is difficult to see it as a complete compensation since it only restores authority and ultimately requires the direct consumption of gold points. I understand. Then, how about taking your time taking a look at the items in the user’s secret store first? If you see it, your mind may change. This isn’t supposed to happen, but I’ll only open the item this once. Of course, you cannot purchase it.”
“uh… . uh? “Is that so?”
Seraph continued speaking at quite a length.
weird. It’s definitely strange. I can’t pinpoint it, but it felt like I had prepared my words in advance. As if he expects me to behave in some way.
Before long, the secret store quickly appears in the air before your eyes. He tried to quietly look around, but Seraph suddenly moved his hand and pointed out an item.
『Rite of passage admission ticket (150,000 GP).』
Description: You can enter the rite of passage area with your identity. Upon entry, it is possible to stay for 7 days.
“How about this?”
“Rite of passage ticket? well. “Specifically?”
Seraph nodded as if she knew that would happen and pointed out the items below.
“Then please take a look at this too. This is a new item… .”
『Monster Summoning Box 1 (1,000 GP)』
『Monster Summoning Box 2 (10,000 GP)』
『Monster Summoning Box 3 (100,000 GP)』
『Monster Summoning Box 4 (1,000,000 GP)』
Description: You can randomly summon monsters that exist throughout the Hole Plain. The higher the number engraved on the box, the more likely it is that a more powerful monster will be summoned. If you can win, you can take the equipment worn by the corpse or the monster.
“This is a box that can summon monsters not only from the East, West, South, and North continents, but also from very far, unexplored areas where the user cannot reach.”
I tilted my head. I understood the description of the item. However, even if you are lucky and summon a monster wearing a lot of equipment, there is no certainty. To increase your chances, you can purchase number 4, but the price is so expensive that it costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Should I say that there is no reason to invest?
“well. I’m not sure. But I guess I’ll have to rely too much on luck… ?”
Am I mistaken if a smile crossed Seraph’s lips at that moment?
“this. I guess you still don’t like it. Well, I promised that I would compensate you without regrets… . “There is no way I can stop feeling sorry.”

Seraph sighed heavily and closed the items in the secret shop.
no. I’m satisfied with the revival of the secret shop function.
Even though I thought this, I kept my mouth shut. Then, he gazed at Seraph and calmly lost himself in thought. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.
If I think about it, this has happened before. So, when I was working as an instructor at the User Academy, Seraph secretly gave me advice.
‘Look Before You Leap. User Kim Soo-hyun. Remember these words well.’
Look where you want to run first and then run. This means making a decision by carefully considering all circumstances before taking action. As a result of taking that advice, I was able to discover a user with outstanding talent named Jegal Haesol. This time I was feeling the same way as before.
“Or, Su-hyeon, do you have any additional compensation you want? “If you tell us, we will do our best to consider it.”
Eventually, the moment Seraph spoke while emphasizing the word ‘additionally’, I was finally able to understand his intention all along. At the same time, I also wonder why Seraph said and did things that I couldn’t understand.
First of all, the compensation is confirmed, no. To be more precise, ‘a situation in which one could receive compensation from an angel’ had been created. And currently, I am the only one who knows about the existence of the secret store, so there is still a long way to go before it is revealed. In other words, the standard for basic compensation should be set to use of secret stores rather than gold points, and demand more than that.
okay. Seraph was speaking to me from the beginning. He said there was no rush. We can’t guarantee whether a situation like this will come up again in the future, so get out as much as you can now. If this is just a one-time request, it is highly likely that even a slightly over-the-top additional request will be accepted. As long as Seraph supports it.
I don’t know why Seraph is suddenly pushing me. However, there was no way I could refuse to lay a mat like this.
“once… . “Let me think about it slowly.”
Was it really the right answer?
“Yes. All right.”
Seraph spoke in a brighter voice than ever while gently stroking Mar’s hair.
*
There is a saying:
Memories become food for living tomorrow.
After Kim Soo-hyun left. Seraph moved to the center of the road altar and smiled alone. It no longer seems lonely or lonely. Rather, a warm energy filled with happiness filled the summoning room.
‘yes. Su-hyun. welcome. ‘You worked hard today too.’
‘Suhyeon… .’
Words I’ve practiced many times, situations I’ve dreamed of many times.
Thinking back to a moment ago, a red blush bloomed on Seraph’s face as she quietly closed her eyes.
But is it impossible to just wait and see that happiness?
– Seraph. Are you crazy now?
– You’re crazy. Even if I go crazy, I’m really crazy.
As I was about to think about the previous situation, several voices suddenly struck my ears.
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
However, Seraph was not embarrassed at all. Rather calmly, he opened his eyes and tilted his head.
– Are you asking because you don’t know that?
– You said that the revival of the secret shop function was not fair, but do you know what you have done now?
Despite being alone, Seraph shrugged her shoulders. As if he doesn’t know what he did wrong.
– This is ridiculous. The rare and secret classes in Rites of Passage are designed for talented prospective users. But are you planning to take that away too?
“Did I even tell you the location of the arrangement?”
– Then why did you introduce the box?
“Weren’t you planning on officially revealing that item soon anyway? Do you have any problem?”
– lie! The idea is that the monsters that appear in the box are affected by the user’s luck! So, I knew that user Ansol was next to user Kim Soo-hyun… !
“I didn’t say anything about him?”
When Seraph spoke naturally, the two voices that continued like a storm suddenly stopped. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that I had nothing to say. Certainly, looking at Seraph’s words and actions alone, there was no room for him to take issue. The problem is how Kim Soo-hyun accepts it.
– … Anyway, Seraph’s actions just now definitely crossed the line. Today’s events will never go away. You can look forward to it.
– I will raise the agenda myself. Just wait and see.
A quiet, yet threatening tone rang in my ears.
At that moment, the warm energy disappeared, and a cold smile appeared on Seraph’s lips.
“So you two, are you confident?”
– W-what… ?
“no. “I think I made a mistake.”
– … … .
Then the voice cut off again.
Seraph’s intentions today were definitely excessive. However, neither words nor actions are excessive. It is sufficient to say that the introduction of the item was ‘for the purpose of bringing about satisfaction to user Kim Soo-hyun.’
As a side note, angel society is basically structured around a hierarchy. However, due to the nature of the helper, the more you lead the user in the ‘right’ direction, the more points are given to your rank. Accordingly, Seraph’s authority had increased incomparably compared to before.
As such, angels often take care of users knowingly or unknowingly as a means of increasing their influence, as long as they do not go too far. This is a ploy done openly in the name of motivating angels to focus on their role as helpers.
In the end, it was a simple story.
‘So you guys have never done that?’
Seraph asked the two people this question.
“Anyway, I don’t plan on staying silent, but if you really want to raise the agenda, I won’t stop you.”
After saying that, Seraph unilaterally cut off communication. Then he quietly closed his eyes and began to recall the situation from earlier.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
“here… . Atlanta… ?”
“That’s amazing.”
Two users are walking out of the warp gate. Both of them covered their entire bodies with thick robes, but the blonde hair flowing out from under the hood was particularly noticeable.
“Sarah. Then here… .”
“is it so. “I heard it’s south, so let’s go quickly.”
The two users wearing hoods soon began to walk quickly.
and.
“Seeing! “The announcement didn’t come out today either!”
“Ahahaha. “Maybe it’s because I’m so busy?”
Atlanta South City Central Plaza.
In front of a bulletin board used by many users, a man was consoling a woman who was complaining.
“I heard they were going to recruit new people at the conference!”
“Yeah, yeah. that’s right. “I heard it clearly.”
“Then why hasn’t the notice been posted yet?”
“Well, that’s… . Seungyoon. That means… .”
The man who was scratching his head with a troubled look sighed and stared at the bulletin board. However, even though she searched thoroughly, she could not find any advertisements for recruitment of Mercenary clan members. Well, if that notice pops up, there’s no need to look for it.
After a while.
“Ugh it’s frustrating! How many days has this been going on? “Anyway, I just believed what my brother said!”
The woman, who was sitting down, nervously moved her legs.
“hmm… . Seungyoon.”
“Oh, it’s noisy!”
“no. listen. Then there you have it.”
“… then?”
Finally, the man who had finished his appetite opened his mouth quietly, holding out his hand to the woman who was sitting down.
“How about we visit sometime?”
