“Alright. So, what…”
Screech, the car parked in the parking lot.
When the driver opened the car door, Nani nodded and had Nari get off first.
In the mountainous area, the sound of birds echoed, and a few rooms in the four-story building still had lights on.
“Where is this?”
“This is the space used by Mago’s hunters. Mago’s residence collaborates with temples in various regions. This building used to be a temple stay, so some noise is allowed, but the space below is for the monks. Please try to keep it quiet.”
‘Temple?’
Having that thought, Nari looked up at Nani.
The temple that Jung Soo-ho mentioned. And the rugged-looking man. Nari, who wondered if he was the one being talked about, rested her chin on her hand.
“Um, well, do you know Jung Soo-ho too?”
“I know. I only remember him when he was as tall as my thigh, but every time he tried to knock down the stone tower with a slingshot, I stopped him. He’s been out of contact, and I was worried because he disappeared, but I know he’s in the military. Have you been in touch?”
“Uh, yes…”
“Good. It seems like a good connection that matches you, so please continue.”
Nan-i, who brought Nari to the lobby on the first floor, briefly talked to the security guard and then handed the keys to Nari.
“You’ll be staying here for dinner today. I asked for the best room.”
“Grandma? Mother…? Won’t I meet them?”
“My mother needs a little more preparation to meet you. Nari, please rest comfortably, and we’ll see you tomorrow afternoon.”
Nan nodded in farewell and, after talking briefly with the security guard, handed the keys to Nari.
“Is it okay to go like this? Is the conversation over?”
Nari, who secretly expected more talk about her mother, mumbled.
Nan, not understanding English expressions, turned around with a puzzled look, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.
“Mago could not have existed without Kang Hana Hunter.”
“So, if you could explain that a bit more…”
A bit more, so Nari, who was about to ask Nan to tell her how her mother influenced him and what happened here, Nan cut her off with a single word.
“So, Mago is always on your side. No matter what happens.”
Unable to respond further to those words, Nari stood there. Then, Nan turned around and headed towards the back.
Ding-dong, and the scenery shook. The place guided by the sign had a notice saying ‘Muk-eon’ attached to the door.
It was a studio apartment a bit too large for one person, with only a wardrobe, a bathroom, a power strip with octopus legs, and a futon.
Still, fortunately, the internet worked.
“It seems like the place where I did Temple Stay, for real.”
Nari, who brought an information brochure from the entrance and was flipping through it, mumbled as if she understood.
The information brochure contained writings about Mago, along with cute cartoon characters of monks.
Mago, a guild centered around the temple, has many hunters who use monk classes or ‘Spiritual Power’ as their main energy.
The first guild leader is Arahan, and the second is Nan.
It’s not like the atmosphere of a company like a temple, nor the atmosphere of a government official like a military god.
Freedom of dual occupation, freedom of dress, each temple has branches, and there is a branch manager for each branch.
The place where Nari is staying, the Temple Stay space of the temple contracted by Mago, serves as accommodation for hunters who need a place to stay in Busan, with the main temple being the Myeowonjeongsa.
“I’m not trying to earn money, so why this?”
With this method, there is never a concentration of power in the guild leader, as each branch manager of the dispersed branches has unique authority.
In the case of the Military God, it might be unavoidable, but perhaps if it were Kang Soo-jin of the Holy Temple, they wouldn’t operate in this way.
Although they are called the 4 Major Guilds, except for the public enterprise Military God, it was clear that they wouldn’t earn money as well as the other guilds.
“They seem to focus more on protecting the region than on money.”
[The Master of Chaos nods, saying it’s probably not a form based on the absolute charisma of the current guild leader.]Nari recalled her conversation with Nan. She raised her spear to protect and that became Mago.
A person who protected Busan in the days when there were no laws. And the locals always treat them well.
It seemed that Mago was running smoothly with the beliefs and absolute popularity of the guild leader.
“Isn’t it? It’s fascinating. How our mom is related to these people. How without our mom, there would be no Mago. And decisively, this.”
Nari tapped on the character ‘Arahan,’ the 1st guild leader. A famous figure.
Among the S-rankers, only 6 in the country, and the longest-serving individual.
Moreover, the only person who reached S-rank ‘without the support of the Holy Seat, solely through their own power.’
Lately, the 4th-ranked Green Sage in the domestic rankings, who hasn’t been active externally at all. Commonly known as Nah Han.
“Yeah, take a look at this.”
Nari pointed to the description of Nah Han.
It was written that after retirement, Nah Han handed over Mago to his son and has been practicing with the monks at the temple.
“…So Nah Han and Mom are acquainted.”
Nari raised an eyebrow. It’s natural that they know each other now, as S-rankers, but it wasn’t the case when Mom was still active. Back then, hunters didn’t collaborate like they do now; they restrained each other, so Mom didn’t meet or befriend other hunters often.
But to be acquainted with Nah Han.
[The Master of Chaos smirks, saying there must be a reason why Nah Han reached S-rank ‘without the support of the Holy Seat, solely through his own power.’]“So, does that mean Mom influenced Nah Han to reach S-rank??”
Nari stood up abruptly.
“Ah, frustrating. Tomorrow? I can’t wait!”
Certainly, Nan mentioned that Mom and he considered each other benefactors.
Thinking about that, Nari stared out of the window decisively.
3:30 AM.
It was quite impolite to meet someone at this time, but Nari put on her hoodie decisively.
The Master of Chaos delivered a satisfied indirect message to Nari.
“Yeah, that’s how our Nari is!” The Master of Chaos claps his hands!
Perhaps if Kang Yihyun were here, he might have argued that this is a big impoliteness and persuaded them to wait until tomorrow. Unfortunately, Kang Yihyun is not by Nari’s side right now.
“How can you wait for that time? I watch YouTube videos at 1.25x speed all the time.”
[Trickster’s exclusive basic skill, ‘Perception Obstruction,’ is activated!]Nari mumbles as she briskly opens the door labeled ‘Mugun.’
So, Nari has been a child who has miserably failed marshmallow experiments since a very young age.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
***
