Please Cooperate In The Execution Of S-Class Official Duties - Chapter 33
Hara couldn’t help but sigh.
In fact, when this plan was made, all of her attention was focused on getting closer to Seheon. The thought of appearing on air didn’t even cross Hara’s mind.
However, she became rather flustered upon seeing the script. Beginning from the road to Eonyang, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it’s a close-up coverage of Team K.
Team K, aside from Raeyoung, who was capable of teleportation, came to Eonyang in a van except, and Hara also had a PD. She only found out that all the members had cameras on them.
Hara really wanted to run away. It was only a short while ago that she wanted to escape because she was scared of filming a mana stone management public interest video with Yoon Seheon at the broadcasting station!
Kwon Wook smiled and asked the troubled Hara.
“Then, are you going to live as an E-class, instead of an S-class, for the rest of your life, because you refuse to be on a show?”
Can’t I do that? She’d obviously want to live an S-class life. But living as an E-class would probably be better than appearing on TV?
For someone like Kwon Wook, who had been exposed in the media’s spotlight for more than a decade, he might not find this a hard decision to make, but Hara, an ordinary citizen, was scared.
In addition, she couldn’t get used to Kwon Wook’s encouragement, “All the best.” In other words, Hara still couldn’t believe that so many people were brought together for the sake of Hara’s quest — that is, for the sake of a relationship.
While holding the script, Hara rubbed her face while feeling speechless and embarrassed.
[The constellation, ‘Cupid’ advises you to enjoy the feeling of being the protagonist]
‘Please shut up…’
[The constellation, ‘Cupid’ suggests that love is the thing that’ll make you the world’s protagonist]
What a bunch of nonsense he’s saying.
Hara’s eyes became blurry.
From the employees from the public broadcasting station to Team K, there were at least 30 people gathered in front of Eonyang Gate now.
They were people gathered by Kwon Wook, who’d learned about the kind of quest that Kang Hara received at the Yeouido dungeon.
“The concept is quite safe, so don’t worry. I’ve already discussed it with the broadcasting company beforehand.”
Kwon Wook tapped his chest, telling Hara to just trust him. But that made her feel more ashamed and embarrassed. Hara asked timidly.
“What concept?”
“A concept that’s definitely date—Heub.”
“Can you please lower your volume?”
Hara, who quickly blocked Kwon Wook’s mouth, whispered quickly. Meanwhile, Bokhee, who was nearby, walked past and jeered, “Oh, there’s such a good atmosphere between you two.”
Hara asked while averting her eyes desperately.
“Don’t tell me even the members of Team K know about it?”
Heub. Kwon Wook gestured to Hara’s hand, implying that they could only talk after she removed her hand.
When Hara removed her hand, Kwon Wook huffed for no particular reason, saying, “Phew, I almost died of suffocation,” before shrugging.
“Isn’t it confidential to the public? Of course they wouldn’t know.”
“What?”
Hara looked backwards. It was Lee Raeyoung. Team K’s hunter with teleportation skills.
“Our Raeyoungie has arrived?”
When Kwon Wook tried to touch Raeyoung’s beanie with a smile, he was immediately blocked.
Raeyoung looked coldly at Kwon Wook and warned.
“Don’t touch it.”
“Oh, our Raeyoungie is also so harsh. Did you just arrive?”
“Yes.”
Raeyoung sighed after glancing at Hara.
“No wonder, ordering people around for the documentary and special training.”
Hara jolted in surprise. Raeyoung was the one that assisted in Hara’s special training the most. While Hara was running, Raeyoung studied Hara’s skills and noticed that it had a mechanism similar to lasers.
These few days, she has been learning how to control her skill’s strength in between breaks, as well as responding to fast-moving people like Raeyoung, which made her skill proficiency exceed 50.
“I’m sorry…”
“Unnie, are you apologising while knowing what I’m saying? It’s because I hate the way this person works.”
Raeyoung was only twenty-four. However, she pointed her finger at Kwon Wook and spoke informally.
“What on earth are you trying to do, betraying the innocence of a newly awakened person?”
“Uhng, our Raeyoungie. If you keep slandering Wookie, Wookie will hate you.”
Kwon Wook made two V-shapes in front of Raeyoung and waved them up and down while smiling. Raeyoung’s brows wrinkled instantly.
Hara retreated a few steps away awkwardly.
“Unnie, don’t trust this person. What an insidious human.”
“Uhm……”
She didn’t know what to say, so Hara just smiled while saying that.
Perhaps Raeyoung also wasn’t particularly expecting an answer, so she threw the box of donuts she was holding at Kwon Wook.
“I was wondering what kind of box of donuts you wanted me to bring, but you actually put stones inside?”
“Did you see that? Our Raeyoungie is not good. She keeps peeping at her oppa’s stuff.”
“You madman, then you should’ve taken care of it yourself!”
Kwon Wook packed the box away with a smile. Then, just as he glanced at Hara, someone called for Hara from the other side.
“Kang Hara-ssi! We need to get a sketch. Can you come over?”
“Oh, yes!”
She was so glad for the staff at the broadcasting station right now. The flustered Hara quickly bowed to the two of them and ran over to the other side.
Raeyoung, who watched Hara’s retreating silhouette, turned to Kwon Wook again.
“What’s the use of bringing that over? Are you going to lie to the broadcasting team that it came out of Eonyang?”
“No, it’s just. Just in case. The people at the broadcasting station are also here, so nothing can happen in the dungeon.”
This morning, Kwon Wook said that he forgot to pack something, and asked Raeyoung to bring him a box of donuts from his house.
Raeyoung, who wondered what’s the use of bringing donuts to Eonyang, took a peek into the box.
Two A-class mana stones. There was only one place where an A-class mana stone could suddenly appear. Raeyoung, who’d sent Kwon Wook to Sejong City recently, narrowed her eyes.
“Isn’t this place a D-class? There’s no need to bring A-grade mana stones along.”
“It’s really just in case. It’s because that’s the only thing I have. Raeyoung.”
Kwon Wook balled up his hands in front of his face and pretended to be pitiful while asking.
“Oppa has nothing but money. Don’t you trust me?”
“…Should I kill you?”
Raeyoung clenched her fists. Kwon Wook laughed playfully and shook the donut box.
“I’ll use it well, Raeyoung-ah.”
Raeyoung snorted. It’s already been five years since she joined Team K while owing Kwon Wook a big debt, but Raeyoung was clearer than anyone else on how discomforting that person that pretended to be refreshing was.
Raeyoung’s gaze turned towards Hara again.
If only she could unburden it all to that Unnie, but there were so many things, so this was much better.
Well, she doesn’t have the luxury to worry about others. Raeyoung shook her head at that thought.

“In that case, you awakened your skills at the Yeouido dungeon, right?”
“Oh, yes, that’s right.”
The concept of the documentary was simple. It was about Team K helping Hara, who’d awakened her skills in the Yeouido dungeon, to adapt to dungeons.
The concept was even brought to Jung Yoojin by Kwon Wook and permission was granted.
It was a secret that Hara was in the midst of an S-class awakening quest, but the setting that she’d suddenly developed flight skills was still plausible.
As a result, the programme could only revolve around Hara.
“You used to be doing deskwork, weren’t you?”
“Yes, I was originally in the Mana Stone Management Department.”
“That’s right. That day, we were both drawn into the gate while filming a public interest video for the Mana Stone Management Department in Yeouido.”
“Ahaha, yes……”
Yoon Seheon was, indeed, a professional.
As soon as he saw Hara greeting him, he showed her the questions he’d prepared and asked how much of it was alright, and how much of them weren’t alright.
Hara had received a questionnaire in advance, but she was impressed by the questions that were much more detailed than before.
Besides, there wasn’t any awkwardness during the programme. As they were filmed walking through Eonyang’s amethyst cave dungeon, Seheon explained what kind of places dungeons were and what the government would usually do here fluidly.
“Instead of amethysts, D-class mana stones would appear from here. That’s why governmental organisations continue to manage this dungeon in Eonyang. This was an abandoned mine area originally, but now with regional co-prosperity…”
If she had to describe how well he was at speaking, she was mesmerised while listening to him.
“In the first place, hunters with flying skills are few and far between in Korea, but I’m quite surprised that it was decided right away to assign you to dungeons immediately from desk work.”
“No matter what, the Hunter Agency trains with an emphasis on applied work, so it was approved quickly.”
Kwon Wook, the representative of Team K, replied with a smile.
As the dungeon has yet to be raided, monsters would occasionally pop out. The main kind of monster that would usually appear was werewolves, and the afternoon shoot ended with the image of Kwon Wook practically playing with the werewolves.
“The afternoon shoot is over. Let’s gather again after dinner!”
“Yes—”
Kwon Wook pulled on the back collar of Hara, who was thanking others for their hard work. It was because of the werewolves that were still wriggling.
“Hara-ssi, can you scan that?”
“Uh……”
He was referring to the ‘#HAPPYYOURDAY’ skill.
Instead of telling her the werewolf’s birthday, Kwon Wook told her the date of the dungeon’s formation.
“This dungeon appeared on October 8, 2003.”
When she substituted the dungeon’s birthday instead of the werewolf’s birthday, surprisingly, the werewolf’s information appeared.
[Werewolf (D)]
HP: 103/103
Skills: Howling (D), Scratching (D)
It was rather short, but Kwon Wook shook his head in astonishment.
“I can only see its grade.”
At the same time, Kwon Wook made a hand gesture. It meant for her to try hunting it.
But Hara was rendered immobile over something else. It was none other than because Kwon Wook was holding Hara’s shoulder like he was hugging her lightly.
‘Y, you’re too close.’
Hara wriggled. However, Kwon Wook’s grip on Hara’s shoulder tightened like he’d interpreted it differently.
“It can’t move right now, so try cutting it.”
“But the people at the broadcasting station are resting…”
“Would it be too unsightly to see blood splattering out?” Kwon Wook shrugged as he looked around, and said.
“I’m sure they’ve also done sufficient mental preparation before coming.”
“Just because they are mentally prepared doesn’t mean that everything will be alright.”
Hara’s eyes widened. It was none other than Yoon Seheon, who took Kwon Wook’s hand off Hara’s shoulder as he said that.
