Minju, who had received an urgent call and went upstairs, returned about 30 minutes later.

“Ugh, annoying.”

Muttering with displeasure, Minju, who had returned to the underground workshop, seemed oddly down.

“What’s wrong, Master?”

Approaching, Junhwan glanced at Minju’s mood.

“I don’t know. Pohang.”

“Pohang?”

Junhwan tilted his head. Other guild members who were suddenly called by Minju also had puzzled expressions.

“Right now?”

“Yeah.”

Minju, whose cheeks were swollen like balloons, nodded unpleasantly.
Eunha hasn’t had the chance to showcase the toys to her yet. The promised figure assembly hasn’t even started.

If it weren’t for Rose’s request to give Minju new military products as gifts, she would have already refused.

“…I’ll be back soon.”

Minju sighed deeply as she took out the German-made miniature that Rose had sent her a while ago.

“Someone needs to stay here, and the rest of you come with me.”

“What?”

Junhwan widened his eyes unexpectedly. Five people? Why would there be a need for that in Pohang?

However, Minju, without providing a detailed explanation of the situation, turned around and swirled her body towards Eunha.

“Noona, since I’ll be back soon, can’t you come over again in a few days? Um, Saturday! Saturday would be good!”

Eunha, looking at Minju with her eyes twinkling, who was clinging to me, quietly stared at Minju. Then, other guild members gathered around Eunha as if by chance.

“Oh, okay! Then, I’ll prepare coffee muffins. I’ll also tell you how to eat ganfrost when you come. It’s easy!”

“Oh, is it okay?”

“I’m looking forward to Saturday!”

In the meantime, Eunha, who had been standing silently with a cool expression, blinked at Minju with a sophisticated face.

“…Yeah, Saturday.”

Eunha, who had nodded slightly, slowly approached Minju. Then, she rummaged through the hem of her dress and took out a thin wish bracelet.

“And this.”

The gift that had not been handed over until now due to the failure to find the right timing was now presented.

“It’s a gift. A wish bracelet.”

Without explaining any further, Eunha directly tied it to Minju’s left wrist.

“…It’s not expensive, but there’s a story that your wish comes true if you have this.”

Whether Minju heard Eunha’s words or not, she stared at the orange wish bracelet intently.

It seemed that various emotions were mingling in her round, acorn-like eyes. Come to think of it, Minju had never received something like this from her parents.

As Minju looked at it for a long time, a bright smile blossomed on her lips.

“This is the same as yours, right, unni?”

Hehe, Minju, who smiled happily as if she were in a good mood, gently touched the orange wish bracelet with her right hand.

“Thank you, unni. I’ll never lose it.”

Afterwards, Minju repeated the words of seeing each other again on Saturday several times before finally leaving the headquarters.

Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Arriving at a reservoir near Mt. Bihak, Minju widened her eyes at the sight in front of her.

“Wow, what is this?”

Goooo─

A large whirlpool was rising above the water surface. It wasn’t just one. Dozens of whirlpools spread across the entire reservoir, rotating ominously and emitting a sinister aura.

“Ah, I have a phobia of whirlpools.”

Guild member Kyungho, who followed behind, complained. Guild Vice Leader Junhwan, who arrived last, also stopped and stared at the turbulent reservoir.

“It seems that Dr. Plant’s words were true after all.”

Those who had conquered numerous gates could feel it with their skin.

‘Precursor phenomenon.’

A gate would soon appear here.
The five hunters, including Minju, each took out their equipment.

“It seems like it’s going to be a big fight.”

Junhwan, who had Minju’s handmade weapon, the ‘Rattling Knife,’ strapped to his waist, opened his mouth heavily.

“Should we request reinforcements now? The headquarters of the Inyeon Guild was in Daegu, right? If we contact them now, they should arrive soon.”

“Why bother? There are already 50,000 troops here.”

Tap, tap, tap…

Minju tapped the smartphone screen briskly with her short fingers.

[Me] [3:21 PM] Arrived~~

[Me] [3:21 PM] (Photo)

[Me] [3:22 PM] Probably going to open soon?? I’ll contact you again after coming out.

[Me] [3:22 PM] See you later! Don’t forget the promised QKZ[Dash]786 renewal version!!!

A reply arrived shortly afterward.

[Roseimo] [3:22 PM] Got it.

[Roseimo] [3:22 PM] For unknown gates, depending on the situation, you might not have to defeat the boss, and you can abandon it midway.

[Roseimo] [3:23 PM] If that’s the case, just roughly check the inside and come back. Even if it’s not, prioritize your life no matter what. Got it?

[Me] [3:23 PM] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Aunt, there are six of us ㅋㅋㅋ Junhwan also came with us ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Roseimo] [3:23 PM] Still.

[Roseimo] [3:23 PM] Never let your guard down.

“…….”

Minju stared at the screen silently and then moved her finger slowly again.

[Me] [3:24 PM] Okay

Clank.

Minju, with an orange backpack lightly slung over her shoulder, put the smartphone in her back pocket.

“Is everyone ready? Let’s finish this quickly. We need to return to Seoul by Saturday.”

Tap─

Black sparks began to fly from the whirlpool.

The five Legion guild members, including Minju, slowly walked towards the reservoir.
