4. I don't need a reason to go to him (3)

When Lee Hyuk began his tranquil life…….

Choi Jung-hoon was in hell.

“That's enough, what else do you want me to do?" ”

― It's not something you don't know about! So is it that hard to get a hold of him?

“My crew has been struggling for less than a day since this started. It's not that the gate won't open in the country. The name is the National Guard, but we can't just leave our country behind and support the United States! ”

- I'm not asking you to send them all. What do you want me to do if I don't feel right?

“That's who you were before, isn't it? I have nothing more to say. ”

- Hey, Jung-hoon Choi!

Choi Jung-hoon hung up his phone roughly and shot the quantum tonic in Tumblr.

“I'm busy. ”

The zombie crisis has quickly reverted to its original state since Lee Hyuk took great measures.

Nearly a thousand people per hour have been cleansed and transported to the hospital just by casting divine power on small, protruding zombies.

If this power clears up, all work will be done in one month, arithmetically.

“Until then, it's a question of Roavelle's survival. ”

After finding out that things aren't going to end all of a sudden, I'm taking care of the schedule thoroughly and resting Roavel.

It should be reported that Roavelle is constantly ‘killing’, ‘what about the black madam’, ‘cursing', and saying harsh words that don't suit her face to rest, but that's not what Jung-hoon understands…….

And fortunately, those who are not enchanted by interpreters will not understand what Roavel has to say.

“Rough mouth elf……. ”

Some kind of shy Dwarf?

This is too much awkward.

Choi Jung-hoon shook his head.

Paperwork piled up the mountains while being dragged into the zombie crisis in the United States. It was surprising how much paperwork you would have to pay by hand even in the natural era of electronic payments.

It would be sad not to be able to simply look at it surprisingly.

“Why doesn't work decrease? ”

Why work only grows.

Why the salary is slowly increasing, but work is exponentially increasing.

“Hnng... ”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed and sat down.

It was natural for things to pile up since we had not been able to deal with domestic affairs for a while.

Lee Hyuk et al., while traveling abroad, did not mean that the gate in the country did not open.

KSFs have done well without the help of NDF, so far they have survived without any problems.

“Is it too much.... ”

It's time to focus on domestic affairs.

Thanks to him, KSF is returning to the grass without a clue, so someone will come out with a rush of complaints or fall from overwork.

Since one NDF crew can handle one of KSF's major gates, KSF has filled several classes of spaces.

“For now, how can I rest for just one day... …. ”

However, since Seo Ah-young was proud that the work was done well, leaving only the minimum number of people to escort Roavel and all of them on vacation, only him and Jae-bum were present in the office now.

“Then why don't we have a vacation? ”

When Choi Jung-hoon cried, Kim Jae-bum turned his head and looked at him with a gaze that felt nothing.

“… sorry. ”

Kim Jae Beom suffered from various tasks, pressures and nagging while Choi Jung-hoon was on his way out.

We shouldn't cry in front of him.

“Do you really want to go on vacation? ”

“No.”

It was a good vacation, but considering the work that would be accumulated while I was on vacation... I was going to refuse even if I gave him a vacation.

“That's good to know. ”

It was a good thing the office was quiet.

I'm more nervous if there's a bunch of powerless people running around like they always do, playing with electricity in that corner.

Heave-ho!

Lee Hyuk jumped in, as the door opened terribly.

Sweets in one hand!

Choi Jung-hoon's head is blank as he walks in, holding a plank in his other hand.

“I don't have to go to work today. ”

“I know.”

“Then why did you go to work? ”

“... because it's warm and comfortable? ”

Son of a bitch...

I have to!

You have to, man!

There's a man who whines about wanting to go home and doesn't want to do anything about it!

That's why there's always one weirdo lurking around at work, even though he's off-duty!

Then why is it Yi Hyuk?

Anyone else can tell you to go home and wipe your feet and sleep without interrupting your work.Why is it called Lee Hyuk?

“Oh, it's warm. It's freezing out there. ”

Why are you here again?

Choi Jung-hoon sighed as he watched Jung-min loosening his scarf comfortably.

Anyway, she's not on any set menu nowadays, and Lee Hyuk is always there.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Oh, I don't think so.

There's no way there's anything we can do.

No celebrities without an event.

There's no new album coming out, no recording, no choreography.

Choi Jung-hoon said, stealing the darkening eye.

“But I'm a little busy here. ”

“Yes, go to work. ”

Can I work with you?

Lee Hyuk bounced all of Choi Jung-hoon's stealthy flying awareness into the basic shield and turned on the computer and sat down.

It was unfortunate that the computer appeared to be in Choi Jeong-hoon's shoes.

What was it in the first place?

It's a good place to watch the gap because you don't know what Lee Hyuk will do during business hours.

Fuck you!

Who knew he was a man who started playing games on the first day of work?

I should have sent him into the most invisible corner!

“Ah……. ”

Yeah, that's right. I had work to do.

“Lee Hyuk, I've asked for help from the United States. ”

“Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“Yes?”

“One more favor and they'll kill every single one of those zombie bastards and drop them in every city. ”

“... I'll keep you posted. ”

If you listen to it, you'll die, but you won't be able to support it again.

“And there is another request for assistance... …. ”

“Other support? ”

“I mentioned it once before, but it's about education. ”

“Education?”

“Yes, in the United States, we've asked for enhanced education in our local talent. ”

Lee Hyuk took his eyes off the monitor and looked at Jung-hoon Choi.

“That, is that fun? ”

A sinister smile appeared on Lee Hyuk's mouth.

“The password is frozen to death! ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu from Spitfire is in Japan now.

He had asked for support in Japan for a level 5 gate, and it was Yoon Hyuk-gyu who was chosen in a suitable and great way to support it.

“Oh, man, I should have picked the one next to.... ”

Draw lots.

It broke the balance for the talented to make a bet, and Yoon Hyuk-gyu won the fair lottery.

“I'll tell you what! ”

No matter how close you are to Japan, you have to give me a teleport!

What, no marker?

What if the teleporter doesn't have a marker?

Yoon Hyuk-gyu grumbled and walked forward.

You see the red bitten gate ahead of you.

“How did it go? ”

The interpreter sticks together and begins to interpret his words.

This is also a problem.

I saw Lee Hyuk, who made me talk without any strange translations, but I wonder how easy it would be to work if I put one of those on a business trip.

But what?

Does it bother you?

Damn you! You're such a pain in the ass! How can you eat? I put Ringer's in there and I lie down.

Phew!

“It will open soon. ”

“This gate will be open soon. ”

“But……. ”

“Yes.”

“Lee Hyuk asked me if you were here. ”

At that moment, there was blood on Yoon Hyuk-gyu's forehead.

“No, Lee Hyuk, Lee Hyuk, do what these bastards do. What's all the fuss about an open level five? ”

“Level five is a state of emergency. ”

“There's a national emergency at level 5. Our new recruits are on their own about that now. ”

“What the……. ”

Phew, do you understand me?

“By the way... ”

That was three months ago?

So much has changed in those three months.

It felt more like it had changed in just three months since the emergence of Lee Hyuk than it had changed in five years since the gate was opened.

“Good or bad.... ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu sighed and walked towards the gate.

“You, are you dangerous? ”

“Me or a monster? ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu looked at the vibrating gate, shaking his head tightly.

“Come out quickly. ”

I'm gonna take care of this and go home and get some rest.

Me, too!

At that moment, the gate begins to open.

Woohoo.

As the red gate opens, you see a passageway into the system.

“What will it be? ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu looked at the gate with some anticipated psychology, then opened his eyes wide.

“Oh, that? ”

The translator, who was watching the gate next to him, settles down.

“It's over.”

A desperate voice came from the interpreter's mouth.

‘It's worth it... ’

It's a strange distinction.

What you can see is the worst monsters coming out of Level 5 Gates.

Then why are you so...

Why does it feel so familiar?

Rrrrghhh!

Yoon Hyuk-gyu was caught up in a subtle feeling as she saw an ogre roaring in front of the gate.

It's like...

Like the kind of dog you have at home, seeing him in the house next door, revealing his teeth and building them?

“… Would he like it if he found out? ”

But there's a misunderstanding. Can I kill it?

Do you think he'll like us if we keep him alive?

While Yoon Hyuk-gyu was troubled, Japanese capabilities and the Self-Defense Forces surrounding the gate began to fire at Ogre.

“Mmmm... ”

The flying ogre starts to scream and rush at the powers, even with bullets, cannonballs, and ether's baptism.

“Mmmm... ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu, who was thinking about it, finally picked up the phone.

“Hello."

- Why?

“I'm contacting you because there's a problem……. ”

- What?

This motherfucker?

Even if I was older than you, I'd still be ten years old, which is half the time, you little shit.

Yoon Hyuk-gyu calmed down and asked.

“We have support here in Japan, and Ogres from the gate. ”

- But?

“A misunderstanding. Can I kill him? ”

- Umm…….

I heard Lee Hyuk's cheerful voice, who seemed to be slightly worried.

- Is it a female?

“I don't know. ”

How can you tell Ogres apart if animals can't even tell the difference?

- Then don't kill him, just hit him and bring him here.

“I understand.”

I looked at Yoon Hyuk-gyu as if the translator who was listening to the two conversations was crazy.

Are these things crazy?

Don't you know what an Ogre is?

It was a natural reaction for those who did not know what the NDF was.

“Khh, but it's harder not to kill. ”

You shouldn't have called.

Yoon Hyuk-gyu walked to Ogre with a little regret.

Glug?

Ogre, who was defeating the Self-Defense Force, looked back to see if he felt Yoon Hyuk-gyu's presence.

“No hard feelings. ”

I kind of like it. Ogres are the most familiar of monsters.

“But what can I do? I have to go dark. ”

A Flaming Cannon exploded in front of both hands of the Spitfire has swept through the Ogre!

Rrrrgh!

The roar of a painful beast and the smell of burning flesh spread to the skies of Japan.

“Come on, it hurts more to resist. ”

Seeing Yoon Hyuk-gyu slapping the Ogre of the world like a baby, the translator was dumbfounded.

“What the hell are those guys? ”

This was the moment the phase of NDF began to spread to the world.
