SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon

o had a beautiful smile like a painting, gave her the answer again this time.
His eyes, resembling imitation jewels, shone strangely.

“Of course there is a way.”

“Really?”

So far, there has been no problem that has not been resolved just by listening to Aeon.
Lee Sein looked at Aeon with trust and expectation.

“This is it.”

Aeon took a small golden box out of his arms and handed it to Lee Sein.

Click.

When she opened it, she found a strange little object that looked like two pyramids joined together.

“What is this……?”

“It’s modeled after a great artifact.
It’s an imitation, but it’s definitely effective.”

It’s ominous.

She didn’t know what it was.
Nevertheless, she felt a very strange force in the object.
When she looked at the center of the object, she felt her head throbbing and there’s also a feeling of nausea.

“It’s an item that causes rifts.”

“……! What?”

“You don’t have to be so surprised, CEO-nim.”

He gave a gentle smile that didn’t match what he just said.

The incarnation is the alter ego of a Demon made with mana.
If it has escaped, they will only have to create a new body and summon it.

However, there is only one incarnation that can be summoned at the same time.

In order to summon a new incarnation, the previous incarnation must be handled, in other words, it must be killed.

This item is a rift generator that summons monsters of the Outer World.
The summoned monsters will take care of the escaped incarnation after chasing the smell of mana.

“Fufu, it’s simple, isn’t it? There is no need for CEO-nim to get her hands dirty.
I will prepare the new incarnation summons.
All you have to do is break this, CEO-nim.”

Aeon grabbed Lee Sein’s hand and pulled it up onto the pyramids.
With a slight press, this little object already felt like it was about to break.

“……!”

Surprised, Lee Sein pushed the box away.
Her hands trembled.

“Ah … no matter what, I can’t do such thing.
The damage … the damage will be great.”

“Then, I will entrust this box to CEO-nim, so think about it carefully.”

Aeon added with a smile.

“You’ll soon realize that I’m right.
Don’t forget.
All you have to do is break it.
You need the magic power of the incarnation, don’t you?”

“…….”

Click. Aeon closed the door and went outside.

Lee Sein, who was startled, tried to put the box out of sight right away.

No, she can’t.
She can’t do such a thing.

But … But maybe…….

***

“…..CEO-nim?”

Choi Cedric was surprised and stopped walking.
Lee Sein, with a blank expression on her face, was walking down the hallway.

Lee Sein did not notice the existence of Choi Cedric standing right in front of her.
It’s strange.
Choi Cedric came closer and called her louder.

“CEO-nim, where are you going?”

“……! Ah, Cedric.”

Lee Sein is surprised as if she just woke up from a dream.
She tried to smile, she needed to tell him that it’s nothing, but her lips were stiff.

“What is this?”

Choi Cedric asked, pointing to a box protruding obliquely from Lee Sein’s suit pocket.

“……!”

Tak!

Before Choi Cedric could reach it, Lee Sein slapped his hand away.
Only the sound of the slap echoed loudly in the empty hallway.

“Ah, I’m just curious because it’s something I haven’t seen before…..”

Lee Sein apologized as she hurriedly wrapped the box in her arms.

“I was a little oversensitive because it was an important item.
I’m sorry.”

“It’s all right.”

Then, silence.
An awkward current flows.

After hesitating, Choi Cedric opened his mouth first.

“I … CEO-nim, I have a question for you, can you spare a moment?”

“I’m sorry.
I need to attend the Guild Leaders meeting soon … let’s talk next time.”

Without waiting for Choi Cedric’s reply, Lee Sein left with a busy pace across the hallway.

Choi Cedric, who was left alone, sat on the sofa at the end of the hallway.
He took his phone out of his pocket and looked into it.
He pressed a number, but he eventually put it back down without pressing the call button.

“Ha…..”

His chest was tight.

CEO Lee Sein has been strange these days.
It’s already been a few days, and when he asked her what’s going on, she didn’t give him an answer.

She didn’t say anything about the black monster that escaped from the box.
She just asked several times if the number of bodies was correct.

Feeling uncomfortable, Choi Cedric hid the existence of the survivor.
It was just a hunch.
Somehow, he felt like he should do that.

That survivor, a Hunter with an unusual name, Jijon, said he’d quit his job as a Hunter, so it wouldn’t matter….

‘What the hell are you doing…….’

No, not just this time.

At some point, Lee Sein has more things to hide from him.

At first, he took it for granted that the management of the guild was Lee Sein’s responsibility.
He didn’t know much about the complicated stories, so he had to be faithful to his role: raiding the dungeons.

Choi Cedric’s first Grade when his awakening happened was Grade A.
Currently, he’s an S-class.
It is undeniable that the guild’s full support has greatly helped him to rise to his current position.

So, in order to become a necessary Hunter for the guild, he moved according to Lee Sein’s orders.

However, little by little, more and more things inside the guild that he did not know increased.

It’s a ridiculous imagination, but…….

Sometimes, he even thought he was just a scarecrow who drew the attention of the public.

Since when it started….

In retrospect … it has been since the secretary appeared.

Choi Cedric wanted to vomit this sense of discomfort somewhere.

However, who on earth can he talk to?
