Seoul Station Druid

CH 217

Gonggalpo

The busiest street in the city.

Open-air restaurants were originally lined up on both sides of the street stretching from the square in front of the headquarters.

Huh? Can't you do business here these days?"

"Ah, boss."

When Suho asked a question while sitting on a sloppy shop chair, an employee ran up to him and smiled.

"It's working time now."

"What time is it?"

Wow, you don't even have a watch.

"It's four o'clock."

The store wasn't really a lie and there wasn't a single customer.

"You're still too quiet. Anyway, give me some food."

"What can I give you?"

Only then did Suho glance at the shop sign.

"Skewer. Just give me 80."

"Yes, sir."

After a short time passed, Hwang, the owner of a lamb skewer restaurant with charcoal, sat down.

"It's been a while, boss."

"Oh, how have you been, Mr. Hwang?"

"Yes, heh heh."

I didn't stop him from grilling the skewers himself.

"Why are you flying like this? Are you going to eat like this?"

Ha ha ha ha ha. We are also guild employees."

All restaurants are operated for the welfare of employees.

The store owners and employees are all employees of the Guardian Guild.

"Oh did you?"

"Haha, these days, everyone is busy creating a restaurant district in Oeseong. This street is now only used by real employees."

Oh yeah?

Somehow, even during working hours, it was said that it was too sluggish.

There are only a few people lined up at coffee shops and dessert houses, and the restaurants have no customers.

"Oeseong Street is also quite worth seeing these days. It's a lot bigger."

Well.

The family members of the guild members live in the outer castle.

Some hotels are already in operation and others are being built.

There, mercenaries and staff using a few sub-dungeons that appeared throughout the outer fortress, and temporary accommodations for them were also built.

As the floating population of outsiders increased, the restaurant street naturally began to be crowded, which also became one of the sources of income for the Guardian Guild.

"These days, real tourists are also looking for it."

tourist? way?"

Yeah.

"What did you come here to see?"

Hahaha.

Hwang, the owner of the skewer restaurant, laughed.

It seems that only Park Soo-ho doesn't know.

How blessed is this guardian city.

"It's almost like a safari, isn't it? And there is probably only one city in the world that can enjoy such a green environment."

It is not easy to create a park in a city, but Suho City is a park-like place.

If you want to settle down and live, is there a place like this?

For no reason, the Wannabe workplace of Seoulites is not the Guardian Guild.

The Guardian Guild is so popular that thousands of job applications are sent in just by posting an announcement to supply talent in the necessary fields.

"Is that enough?"

don't support

Suho ate the lamb skewers before they were cooked, and Hwang, who operated three fire plates, was busy raising the skewers for a while.

"Eat well."

"Yes, sir."

After walking for a while, Suho looked around and smiled.

"Where are you going?"

Imitation is also perfect for stealth.

Whirlik.

Suho's body reconciled with smoke and turned into a brown cat.

"Nah."

Suho, who had become a cat, jumped and roamed the streets.

As a city where animals, forests and humans coexist, no one cares.

South Gate of Introspection.

Even when passing through the gate that connects the outer and the inner city, people are checked according to the entrance procedure, but cats pass safely.

'This is lame.'

What if there was an Awoken with the ability to transform into an animal?

'I'll sneak in and tear it apart.'

Guardian beasts are more or less consciously connected. Therefore, regardless of the characteristics of the species, there is a sense of solidarity between the beasts.

Even the beasts classified as natural enemies are all maintaining peace under their guardianship.

However, when an outside paper comes in, it cannot be left alone.

Animals are watched by animals, and humans are watched by humans.

"Nah."

This is the outside street Mr. Hwang talked about.

There is a straight road from the south gate of the inner fortress to the south gate of the outer fortress.

The transverse roads crossing the longitudinal main road were numbered in order from the inner city to the nearest.

Roads 1 and 2 had only a section and were vacant, and a river ran across it, and a hotel was built on one side of Road 3.

Below that, restaurants were lined up on both sides of Road 4, forming a downtown with the most floating population.

All other roads 5 to 10 are in the midst of residential development.

There are still many more vacant lots, but there are many houses that have already been built and have found their owners.

As we entered the dimensional industrial era, everything was fast because awakened people and superpowers were melted in all fields.

Most of the houses were on the third floor, but that amount is enough to be built in a full month.

The cat wandered around for a while, observing people's daily life, and then followed the main road down to the south gate.

'Didn't you see it?'

Suho approached the presence of the blue portal.

uh? No access."

None of the guards guild staff treats Gilnyangy.

No, to be precise, there is no one big enough to deal with SS-class cat beasts.

At the employee's restraint, the cat grinned.

"Why is that portal color different?"

"Ah, this is a mobile portal, so it's different . Whoops!"

The staff who was talking to me stopped and was startled.

Does a cat speak Korean when it's U-class?

If not, there is only one answer.

"Why don't you talk?"

"Sir, are you the boss?"

uh.

"Huh, I was surprised. This portal here leads to Daegu."

Really?

Looks like you've finally made what you said you were making before.

I only slept for four days and woke up feeling like a lot had happened.

Whirlik.

Then black smoke gathered and Chai appeared in a coat.

She bowed politely to the cat.

Why?

"Vice President Kim Mi-so is looking for you."

"Tell me to come."

"I will tell you that."

Whirrik.

It turned into black smoke and disappeared, and the cat filled its big eyes with portals.

" ."

In front of the cat observing while moving around the cooking portal, the staff stiffened from tension.

Then a drone that looked like a motorcycle flew into the sky and landed next to him.

It has 4 propellers instead of wheels, but the passenger seat looks like a motorcycle without a hitch.

boss.

Kim Mi-so, who got off the small transport drone, visited Park Soo-ho.

"Uh, are you here?"

As soon as Korean words came out of the cat's mouth, Kim Mi-so, who squatted in front of the cat, told the story.

"Why did you sleep for four days?"

"I don't know, I must have been tired."

"Aren't you supposed to get tested?"

"Hey, what do you do with what you slept?"

"I don't think it's been a while ."

OK.

I'm fine with it, what more can I recommend?

The fate of everyone in the guardian guild, including Kim Mi-so, is with Park Soo-ho.

Although the guardian guild grew rapidly, Park Soo-ho's personal power still occupied an overwhelming share.

"I can't imagine it well, but the boss shouldn't be sick."

okay.

"Oh, what I found was nothing else. A request for cooperation came from Pyongyang."

Pyongyang?

Yeah.

North Korea?

Yeah.

What did you say?

"I want some food."

suddenly?

"Um, where should I start talking about this ."

Miso Kim floated and showed some data.

"There was an incident where the agricultural district in Icheon was devastated by locusts."

"I think I saw it."

"After that, swarms of locusts have turned north and are stirring the Eurasian continent."

A procession of giant bugs that started on the Korean Peninsula passed through North Korea and crossed China after ravaging the present Manchuria.

The food situation in North Korea, which was not very good, rapidly deteriorated and has recently reached its limit.

"Then we should go looking for food. Can I go to Aruka and import it?"

"Well, the road is blocked."

There is no gate portal to the planet Aruka in North Korea. There are two places in South Korea, Busan and Jeju Island.

"It will be difficult."

" ?"

Why?

"Is that all?"

then?

If that were all, Miso Kim would not have found Suho in a hurry.

"Look at this."

Miso Kim showed me an article.

No, it was a video, not an article.

A short-haired announcer dressed in a hanbok was holding a piece of paper and reading it coolly.

- The Republic issues an ultimatum to the world!

It is a declaration of war against the wicked hordes who fill their barns and turn away from their hungry neighbors.

Our republic can no longer leave behind those who turn away from their hungry neighbors.

Die this way, die that way, if it's just one thing, let's use the blood and sweat of the Republic's bloody and sweaty last weapon and die!

South Korea, calling out comrades only when necessary, right now... .

What is he saying now?

"If you don't supply food, they're saying they'll blow up nuclear weapons."

" ?"

Suho's face was bewildered.

"If you're hungry, they hunt, so why bother?"

Whether hunting or farming, there is plenty of food to eat.

that ."

Kim Mi-so tried to add to what she had learned through the government, but had many ears to hear, so she dragged Suho to one side.

Since it was a confidential matter from the state, he whispered quietly in his ear even though there were no people around.

The way she squatted and spoke into the cat's ear was a little sullen, but the words that came out of her lips were not light at all.

"The North Korean regime is on the verge of collapse. It seems that there are signs of a coup d'état here and there."

Isn't it a natural providence that when the leader loses power, he is kicked out of the group and a new leader is born?

so?

The cat responded with a bitter reaction, and Kim Mi-so lowered her voice and spoke more quietly.

"Well, to put it simply, we need a fight with the neighbor next door to crack down on the house."

Well. Would you like something to eat in that name?"

Yeah.

I think I can see why the hungry man threatens without begging. In the meantime, the most satisfying thing seems to have been South Korea, as always.

"So these guys are declaring war on us?"

"Not necessarily, but You cannot ignore the possibility."

It was Kim Mi-so, who was anxious because it was a terrible government that did not know what to do.

In North Korea, where the vigilantes are oppressed, they are gaining more and more power these days, and it is no wonder what the regime, feeling threatened by, chooses.

The cat raised its claws and stroked its chin.

"They are like bombs."

The thorns are raised in all directions.

Be prepared to launch missiles at any time.

"Well, if you want to do it, do it."

The cat didn't care at all about the North Korean threat.

"Then I will pass on that position to the government as well."

The South Korean government is often flirting with alliances these days.

'If you get a preemptive attack, your boss is not the kind of person you can tolerate.

After all, Suho City is the road to Seoul.

The North Korean threat is a daily occurrence, but it is a situation that cannot be ignored from Seoul's point of view.

'I'm going to rip a little bit more.'

Since the Guardian Guild is faithful to the role of the shield in the face of security threats, I think it should be paid a little more.

"I'm going through that."

Suho's interest was already on the mobile portal.

Yeah. Oh, go with Director Han Dong-soo."

It would be difficult if Suho disappeared somewhere else or went diving. There is no one like Dongsoo Han as his dedicated action cam and mobile phone that moves on his own.

okay. Please come quickly."

The cat lay on its stomach in front of the portal, and Kim Mi-so saw it and returned to the vice-president's office.

"Vice President! It's a lie."

What?

Lee So-jin, the chief of the secretary, who found her quickly, held up her tablet.

; North Korea fires four missiles at Japan.

As always, North Korea fired a missile of interest towards Japan.
