“What’s with you? Causing trouble wherever you go? Even a part-time job interview can’t go smoothly with you!”
“Hmm….”
“Strangely, whenever there’s a commotion, it’s always you! Why did you even come here?”
A barrage of nagging complaints pours down. Without any pause, with a rhythmic sentence and skillful manner.
Babylon guild members observed the angry guild master and his older sister.
‘You! Come out!’ The way he called her was like a romance drama male lead boldly entering the interview room. However, unlike Gyeon Jirok, who is scolding and getting angrier by the second, Gyeon Jioh has a very calm expression.
It’s almost like a monk who had reached their enlightenment.
Although the desk job to be recruited through this announcement is directly under the guild leader Gyeon Jirok, a B-rank hunter is still an astonishingly high specification for a desk worker.
Even before the interview was over, the guild leader, Gyeon Jirok, received the news. It was truly a well-timed move.
“What’s so funny? Everyone is gathering here.”
“Oh, Domi. Look, it’s because there’s a commotion downstairs.”
“What commotion?”
“Today is the secretarial team’s interview. Look at this. It’s a copy of the resume that just came up.”
Domi, with curiosity, scanned the resume handed over by the employees. Let’s see.
Oh, B-rank? The name is…
“Huh?”
“Why are you like that?”
“No, wait a minute. This name…”
“Ah, the family name? Right, it’s the same name as our boss. I know it’s a rare family name, but it’s an interesting coincidence. As expected, Domi has a keen eye. We’ve been busy talking about her rank so far.”
No, it’s not a coincidence.
Domi’s hands stopped abruptly. His head was spinning. He remembers a conversation from a certain day.
“Gyeon Jioh may live thoughtlessly, but she at least thinks about our family.”
“So your sister’s name is Jioh?”
… Jackpot!
Domi immediately bounced into the boss’s room.
✧
“So? Is that girl really our leader’s sister?”
“The image I imagined is quite different.”
“He said they were born with an 11-month age difference, right? They’re not similar at all.”
“Yeah. The younger brother is a decadent deer, but the sister is… a little kitten. Wow, they’re in completely different categories.”
“Watch your mouth! Just listen carefully.”
Tap, tap!
Documents rain down on the heads of the whispering guild members.
Sasejong, who roughly organized the chaotic room, walked towards the siblings who were still talking.
“There are eyes watching, conduct your family reunions at home. This isn’t your living room.”
Sasejong calls for their attention by handing a glass of water. It meant to drink cold water and cool down a bit.
It did help to cool the heat down a bit.
Gyeon Jirok sat down on a chair, annoyed, and grumbled.
“Everyone, get out.”
“Yeah. Get out and do your work.”
“Sorry, Hyung too.”
“…Me too?”
Sasejong raised his right arm, and asked with a subtly hurt expression, but Gyeon Jirok nodded without mercy. ‘Yes, you too.’
So, everyone rushed out, leaving the room for the siblings. Gyeon Jirok swept his bangs aside with a rough sweep.
“What were you thinking?”
“You asked for a part-timer, you needed one right?”
“Ugh, that…! Are you crazy? Let’s say you managed to get the job. It would be fine because the gap with you and the other guild members are too big for them to notice. But the another top 10…”
“Hmm…”
“Do you know how often those guys come here? Just a while ago, Jeong Gil… Never mind. Or is it that you finally have decided to reveal your identity?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Then why!”
Jioh, who was spread on a chair, adjusted her posture. She seriously clasped her hands. “If not here, then it’s Gangwon Province.”
“…”
“It’s too frustrating to leave this secular world like this.”
“I’m confident that this king will never fail. I swear. This king is a complete expert in this field, a veteran.”
“Haah…”
“Just take care of my meals and transportation fees. Then I will just sit quietly.”
This damn leech… His head hurts. The probability of stress-induced migraines from this is 100%. Gyeon Jirok groaned and pressed his temple.
“What should I say to Mom?”
“Hmm.”
“We don’t hire civilians in Babylon, even a three-year-old knows that. Let’s say you work here. Then Mom finds out, it’s a natural process to know that it’s here. What are you going to say?”
Jioh opened the air silently.
With a flick of her finger, a piece of paper landed in Gyeon Jirok’s hand.
‘What’s this?’
“…Guild Babylon Desk Job Temporary Civilian Special Recruitment Announcement for the year 20XX?”
Did she forge this document…?
It’s so scary that it’s even more embarrassing.
The words ‘Temporary Civilian Special Recruitment’ came together naturally, as if they had been in place from the beginning.
“You can’t even turn on a computer except for playing games… Did you spend money on this? Who did you hire?”
“No, no. Take a good look.”
So, he looked closely. And he was amazed. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the letters were not touched by a computer. It was magic. A magic control so detailed that he couldn’t feel a single drop of magic!
‘This crazy bastard…! She used her talent for something like this.’
“I already told mom about this. If I pass, I would work part-time to help with school fees and be a filial daughter. She even sent a meat soup because she heard you’re doing a good job.”
‘No wonder.’
With a perfectly ironed shirt and a headband neatly revealing her forehead, she’s dressed in a way that a failure of a student would never have achieved.
‘Was it organized by Mother…’
It feels like he can see a delusion of their tear-soaked-handkerchief-waving mom.
With that, Gyeon Jirok, the most filial son in the world, felt his heart clenched at that image. So the situation seems to have been resolved.
Applicant number N021, Gyeon Jioh, kneeled down somewhat and asked in a humble posture.
“So… Boss, did I pass?”
✧
Part of the <Babylon> secretary team, nicknamed Housemaster Ma. As is often the case with those with such nicknames, Ma Woorim was a man not lacking in meticulousness.
Wastefulness of supplies was abhorred. Being late was an absolute taboo. Laziness at work was considered a capital offense. In that regard, he had recently encountered a formidable opponent.
“Gyeon Jioh, where did she go again?”
“To the meeting room. I just saw her go in with a tray of drinks.”
“What? Just now? When the guest was there, she just went in?”
“She’s a bit slow.” Laughter echoed from the other secretaries and supporters.
The person who was fuming inside seemed to be alone in this place. Housemaster Ma’s chest throbbed.
“Why are you laughing? Do you see this as a joke? If the rookie is lacking, you should scold and teach her!”
“Ah, why are you like that? She’s cute. Besides, it’s just a part-time job.”
“That’s right. She’s still a fluffy little kid. It’s cute that the little one is worrying about carrying a tray of tea. Anyway, you’re too picky, Chief.”
‘These… these… unscrupulous creatures have no conscience!’ Cute, my foot. Ma Woorim knew well how ruthless these foxes could be to a new recruit who couldn’t do the job. If someone runs away with tears and snot, they would still run them down with a truck if they can.
But,
‘You guys have no business standing in front of parachutes1.’
The incident that occurred a few days ago at the interview site has spread widely.
Even though the guild master’s direct order has been issued and everyone is hushing up, the news has already spread inside.
Even though Korean society is known for being small and narrow, she’s not a simple acquaintance, not even a distant relative.
‘The boss’s family…’
Moreover, a sister who is born almost like a twin to him. Rumors have already spread throughout the guild that the boss is making a fuss.
“How much did he cherish her? Only a few close aides were told about her, except for some higher ups, this is the first time others knew about her.”
“I heard that too. Even Mr. Domi thought she was just some ordinary applicant.”
“Well, she has no experience, and the boss thoroughly prevents her from doing anything related to hunter work, so if we judge strictly, she’s like an ordinary person.”
“She’s extreme, too extreme.”
“But just by looking at her, she seems a bit fragile, doesn’t she? The youngest sibling I saw last time was rather tall and strong. With a petite and delicate older sister like that… it’s understandable to be overprotective. I understand why our boss does this.”
“Well, if it’s from Young Boss’s perspective. I guess it feels that way even more since he’s looking at it from the standards of a strong hunter like himself.”
“But how did she even get to B-rank? When she was lifting the tray earlier, it looked like it would fall.”
“Could it be that Young Boss obtained the license for her self-defense?”
“No way. This is not a novel.”
“But, it makes sense.”
Hahaha, hohoho, they’re all gossiping while smiling.
These days, whenever they get together, they’re busy gossiping like an apartment neighborhood association. ‘Don’t say anything. It’s just a rumor, forget it.’
However, since she is not an ordinary parachute but a family of the most powerful person in the guild, the heat does not seem to be going away anytime soon.
From those who maintain a simple curiosity, to those who think it won’t be bad if they get along well, everyone is talking about their own boss sister.
But only Housemaster Ma raised his chin high.
‘I have to maintain discipline in this workspace. Like a proud noble, untainted by this dirty world.’
“Ah, Ms. Jioh is here.”
Ma Woorim stood up. “Hey, Gyeon Jioh!”
With a threateningly puffed chest and a rugged expression, Ma Woorim approached Jioh.
“Are you going to do the work like this?”
“Huh?”
“Even though it may seem trivial, I told you that preparing refreshments is something that requires careful attention!”
“Ah.”
“How long do I have to repeat the same thing for you to understand? This kind of thing should naturally be done by me, the senior!”
“I’m sorry…?”
“You should be sorry! From now on, leave important tasks like this to me, the senior!”
‘Our precious young lady, did you get hurt while lifting this heavy thing?’
Quickly taking the tray away, Housemaster Ma brushed the dust off Jioh’s shoulder..
Twenty years in the workforce.
Such is the pain of being a white collar worker.
“What’s with you? Causing trouble wherever you go? Even a part-time job interview can’t go smoothly with you!”
“Hmm….”
“Strangely, whenever there’s a commotion, it’s always you! Why did you even come here?”
