Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 144: Going Home (4)

"Ah!!"

"You will be able to work with a better treatment. I'll also keep your children in mind."

"Ah!!! T-Thank you. Thank you."

I also did not forget to take care of my administrative team. Of course, Kim Mi-young, the best among them, immediately got promoted, which led to Park Jung-gi looking at her with undeniable envy. I knew I had to take care of him to some extent as well.

"It is only natural to do so. Ah. I heard that you received a lot of help from Cho Hyejin."

"Yes. She's a bit stubborn, but... she is a good person."

Her reputation is good.'

It seems that she was loved by many people. As we continued talking, a loud voice came from the side.

"Hyung-nim! Try this once! Hyung-nim!"

"Please try this, too, Hayan-ssi."

Sun Hee-young and Park Deokgu approached this way, both bringing plates of delicious-looking food.

"It's really good, Kiyoung-ssi. Much more than the food the restaurants here sell..."

"Ah, is it?"

"Please try this, Hayan-ssi."

"Yes. T-Thank you."

"It really tastes great!"

What he had in his hand was a simple stew served in a small bowl. It looked a little different from the fancy food that had been served so far. From its unsophisticated serving, I knew it was not the Blue's chef that had prepared this.

Although the thickly-sliced beef looked delicious, I was confident that it would not exceed the food level that we could eat during the expedition.

I couldn't understand why they were fussing over it so much.

"Try it quickly! Quickly!"

"Alright."

I couldn't win over Park Deokgu's enthusiasm, so the moment I took a spoonful, I thought something was different.

"Huh?"

The different taste instantly made me alert.

"Isn't it delicious?"

'It's delicious.

I didn't answer Park Deokgu, but my reaction said it all.

"Who made it?"

"Our Guild Master Hyun-ssi and Lee Sang-hee-nim made it. He went to the kitchen and made it, but who would have thought? Doesn't it just melt in your mouth?"

"Huh?"

"It really does!"

"Ah, it's so good!"

"How about you, Hayan?"

"I-It's delicious, D-Deokgu. This... is really good."

There was an unknown feeling of defeat in Jeong Hayan's voice.

"You can cook, too, right?"

"Huh? Ah... That... Yes! I have learned a little..."

Her reaction betrayed the insecurity Jung Hayan felt. She reluctantly headed to the kitchen, her facial expression similar to that of Ito Souta's before he entered the statue.

I made a mental note not to try out any of the dishes Jung Hayan would make today.

Everyone in the party was in pairs and were enjoying the party in their own way. What stood out was Cho Hyejin, who was sitting down by herself.

As she quietly chewed on her food, I decided it would be better to try and talk to her. I was curious about what kind of person she was. As Jung Hayan was in the middle of an infinite challenge, it would be the right timing to do so.

After excusing myself from Kim Mi-young, who expressed the desire to talk a little more, I saw Cho Hyejin looking my way.

"What do you think of Blue?"

"It seems to be a good place. I expected it from the rumors, but it was even better than I first thought."

"Ah."

"Especially when the Vice Guild Master entered, the atmosphere looks a little better."

"It's not like this every time. This is actually the first time I'd gotten to enjoy..."

"You can see how much the members of this guild trust their Guild Master and Vice Guild Master."

"Ah..."

"I also had the tutorial with some people, but because of various minor events after entering the continent, we split up, so it's definitely nice to see Blue being like this."

Though she was calmly eating her food, her words were quite sentimental. I thought about the possibility of her being drunk, but it certainly didn't seem that bad to me.

I felt like I knew how her first party had ended, and why she left Castle Rock and came here.

'That's how people live in the first place.'

"It especially seems that Hyunsung-ssi really trusts Kiyoung-ssi. Even when we were on the way to meet Kiyoung-ssi, he kept talking about you."

Only

"Ah."

"I thought you didn't laugh very often, but that was a little unexpected."

Cho Hyejin's words surprised me. I realized I had misunderstood the situation completely

Looking at Kim Hyunsung, who was still busy cooking with Lee Sang-hee, the corners of my lips went up.

'I trusted you, you bastard!'

This was the moment where I felt like my loyalty to my returner had been properly rewarded.

No more confirmation was needed.

Kim Hyunsung trusted me, as much as he trusted the people he had been with the first time around.
