Chapter 810: The Last (43)

Although the Song Villain was incompetent, he was by no means stupid. Had he been an idiot who knew nothing in the first place, he wouldn’t have been appointed as a key member of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee as he was now.

Although the continent was friendly to adventurers, it was never easy to start from nothing and reach such a high position. Not only did he have great political senses, but considering he had formed his power…

‘I have to admit that he did a good job.’

He was definitely competent.

Even if he didn’t get involved in the Kim Hyunsung issue, wouldn’t I have judged that he was worth using at least once? I might have hired him as a guild employee, or if he was lucky, I might have put him in a fairly decent role.

He was the kind of human that I could call talented enough to think of this.

Of course, substituting me or playing Tactic Kim Hyunsung was a realm he couldn’t touch, but I thought that the response to the changes taking place on the continent wasn’t bad.

Didn’t it all happen while the Blue Guild, which had been maintaining a closed policy after the Son of Light died, opened the door?

He announced to the media about those aiming for Lee Kiyoung’s body and formally asked the Holy Sector and the State for help. He asked the large and small guilds in Lindel to cooperate, and he was forming a group to protect the saint of light.

Some people had finally made noise about whether the Sunset Swordsman was creating a private force, but there was no way the Blue Guild would care about it.

The circumstances of the assassins and rangers invading the guild were very clear, and everyone went silent on the video prepared by the Blue Guild. From there…

‘He’s been working on an agreement or something. That’s how bad it is.’

Had it been the usual Kim Hyunsung, he would never have done it.

‘I guess I said the right thing.’

Guild Masters depended on Vice Guild Masters.

It was a favorable situation for Song Sookyung, who made an excuse to contact him somehow.

-Did you really cut any leads?

-Yes. You can rest assured that I have taken care of it. The committee has been working to ensure that there is no evidence of any connection to this event and that even the smallest associations are found if they existed. Since the group that submitted the request has no entity, they can’t catch our tail.

-Thank you for the hard work.

‘You became a complete demonic bastard. You don’t even feel any sense of guilt.’

-More importantly… the Sunset Swordsman…

-Yes. I heard that he would attend it. He will arrive soon, so it’s probably best to get ready.

-Good. That’s really fortunate.

Just as expected, he was already looking forward to it.

It felt like a second late, but the fact that he acted remained unchanged. It was a reaction that should be seen from the standpoint of the Protection and Management Committee.

‘The timing is good.’

There was no way their new organization would stand still when the entire continent would be paying attention. He was proving with his actions that he wasn’t so incompetent.

Immediately after the Blue Guild officially announced the incident, he established a countermeasure headquarters. He then gathered the named ones and authorities on the continent after tying up the anomalies taking place around the world.

Of course, the Blue Guild was on the first list, and Kim Hyunsung and the members, who were just about to enter the social world, would have had to accept their proposals.

I thought it was appropriate to say that their interests had coincided.

He straightened his clothes in a private waiting room after entering the building.

He was looking at his face in the mirror, then nodded and spoke.

-It looks like things will go well.

“…”

-I couldn’t even imagine he would really come.

“You will get what you want.”

-Yeah. I have to get it. I will definitely get it.

-It’s time, Song Sookyung.

-Yes. I’m going.

‘He prepared well in his own way.’

Although I was a little anxious, I felt like he was keeping the line properly. His clothes were a bit simple, but for now, while the atmosphere was unsettled, that was just right.

It might not have been satisfying in the Kingdom Union or the Republic powerhouses’ eyes, but considering the public’s interest, it was better to avoid excessive splendor.

The meeting didn’t even serve the purpose of a party in the first place. The joining of the Sunset Swordsman probably changed the direction of the meeting a lot.

Although I didn’t like the smile on him slowly heading for the landing site…

‘I’ll get justice anyway.’

I didn’t have to be nervous.

Song Sookyung was slowly looking up at the sky. And as expected, I saw Kim Hyunsung, who personally rode the griffon.

‘Isn’t he reliable?’

At first glance, there was tension in his face as he landed at the committee with the black beast that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

His expression was unfamiliar.

‘He’s nervous.’

Even Kim Hyunsung had to endure through the day. Hence, it wasn’t unreasonable to look like that. It was probably best to define it as him being a little out of the grid then suddenly wanting to talk to others.

He was at a place to announce that and the will to actively intervene in the continent’s problems. Even in the first round, he wasn’t familiar with such meetings, leaving everything to others, so his reaction didn’t seem all too weird.

-Blue Guild Master, Thank you for coming all the way here. I’m Song Sookyung of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee.

-Ah… Nice to see you again. Thank you very much for meeting me like this.

-I will guide you myself. Come this way.

-Sure.

-I heard the news, Sunset Swordsman.

-Ah… Yes.

-I don’t know what to say…

-…

-No words can comfort you, but I would like you to know that our New Continental Protection and Management Committee is also working hard on this matter. I thought that the group that caused the strange phenomenon currently occurring on the continent may be involved. It may be a lot different from the direction the Blue Guild is thinking of, but…

-…

-In many ways, I felt the need to look at the incident from a whole new perspective. Although the information is limited, we are also working to identify and resolve the severity of this matter.

-…

-I’ll tell you more about it later. Let’s go in first.

-Okay.

Their first meeting, which was a bit shocking, seemed to have been forgotten in each other’s memories, and in fact, Kim Hyunsung didn’t seem to remember him much.

It was as if he was trying to treat him amicably after noticing that he was someone important.

Manager Kim Mi-young, who came with him as an attendant, was whispering to him, probably getting information about Song Sookyung once again.

‘She usually doesn’t appear in such events…’

That was probably proof that the guild was also paying attention to his new behavior.

-So… was your travel okay?

-Yes.

-Come to think of it. I just saw your griffon with my own two eyes, which I only heard about in stories. It looks like he’s received a lot of love. His feathers are shiny, and he seems very healthy. His physique also looks bigger than other griffons.

-I haven’t been able to pay attention to him recently, but… Yeah.

-Oh! It’s a sudden question, but I’m also curious about how they mate. Actually, I’m also very interested in them… I heard that the one named White Paul had laid another egg recently. I heard that natural mating is impossible… In academia and related industries, they…

-I didn’t really do anything… They got along from the beginning.

‘He’s just… just… talking about griffons.’

-How fast can he fly?

‘The only thing he can talk about is griffons.’

-I heard that you enjoy riding sometimes. Me too… It might not be possible right now, but… if there is a chance after everything is over…

-Yes. If we have a chance, that would be great too.

‘And he got hooked into that.’

Maybe they should have a meal together someday. I thought Hyunsung interpreted it along those lines, but I still wondered if he really had to give a positive answer.

It seemed that Kim Hyunsung thought there was no reason to push the Song Villain away. He probably felt that he should believe first rather than doubt.

Seeing that Lindel’s guilds, the State, and the Holy See did not directly demand cooperation, it seemed as though he was positing an emergency…

He most likely thought it wouldn’t be beneficial to reject the guy who set up a task force.

While heading to the conference room together, their constant conversations caught my eyes.

In the back, some of the assistants were walking along with manager Kim Mi-young. I could see that they eventually moved at the voice calling for them in front of the door.

-Song Sookyung of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee and the Blue Guild Master are entering.

The door opened immediately after that announcement.

‘He really is sly.’

He wanted to show the public the image of him appearing with Kim Hyunsung.

-Nice to meet you, Blue Guild Master.

-It is an honor to meet you like this, Hero of sunset.

-I see you have already finished greeting Song Sookyung.

-Ah… Yes. That’s right.

-I heard about it, Blue Guild Master. There was an unfortunate accident.

-…

-If you need help at any time, please contact us. I’m from the Republic…

-Yes. Nice to meet you.

Manager Kim Mi-young was constantly whispering to Kim Hyunsung.

Although it might be a bit rude, it seemed they were all tolerating it to some extent. They probably already knew that Kim Hyunsung didn’t know much about them.

They judged that Kim Hyunsung was a human who made a living out of fighting.

I might be seeing the side effects of taking all the actual guild management to myself.

‘I can’t see the ones who suffered due to Doom Hyunsung.’

Looked like they all retired.

-Seeing the two of you together, it seems that we can overcome any crisis on the continent.

-…

-Are you aware, Sunset Swordsman?

-Excuse me… I don’t know what you’re talking about.

-I mean that Song Sookyung is called the incarnation of the Son of Light. Seeing the two of you together like this makes me feel as if I’m looking at the past.

-…

-Two new pillars of the continent have gathered in one place.

-Indeed…

-The Son of Light must be pleased as well.

-Wouldn’t he be happy? It must be very reassuring. There was a misunderstanding between you two, but in the end, you’re brought back together.

-The Sunset Swordsman is probably surprised. Looking at them, I really thought the Son of Light had come back alive.

‘He’s not very happy.’

Even if I didn’t look at Kim Hyunsung’s face, I already knew that they stepped on a mine.

Naturally, I was worried that the situation might break apart.

It was then that Song Sookyung spoke up.

-That was so rude!

I knew it was necessary, but…

‘Ah, why is he so despicable?’

-If you’re offended, I apologize in their stead, Blue Guild Master.

Seeing the demon’s tongue starting to speak to Kim Hyunsung, it felt like the judges were twisted.

‘That demonic bastard’s sneakily and despicably preparing the foundations.’
