By Zephyria “You’ll bore a hole through my face.”
Lee Sa-young said languidly, propping up his chin. The voice that had been muffled inside the Gas mask flowed out over his lips. The impression was that his black hair and calmly colored purple eyes suited his voice well. Every time he blinked, his dense, long eyelashes cast shadows.
A gracefully extended nose and a small mole below the left side of his plump lips. Overall, it was a beautiful face with thin lines, as if drawn with a brush. It felt delicate and flamboyant, but there was a hint of languor somewhere.
Funnily enough, Eui-jae understood why Sa-young wore a Gas mask. In his opinion, showing that face all over town would cause a lot of trouble in many ways.
It was true that Lee Sa-young was not satisfactory in many ways, but this guy’s face, seen objectively, was like that. Should he say that it attracted attention in a different sense than the Gas mask? When he was wearing the Gas mask, he was simply a crazy brat to avoid, but when he took it off, the difference was that he became a crazy brat whose face was worth something.
Some of the remaining Hunters glanced at Sa-young, but he didn’t seem particularly uncomfortable. His attitude was that he was used to being the center of attention. Rather, following Sa-young’s gaze, the Hunters quickly averted their eyes as if they had been burned by something.
Lee Sa-young, who had cleaned up the surroundings without a word, picked up a spoon. At the same time, Eui-jae also moved his steps because his business was over. What would he say after eating Hangover Soup? It was when he slowed down his pace, pretending not to, and was listening carefully. Bae Won-woo asked, as if trying to scratch his itchy spot.
“How is it? Is it good?”
“The soup is hot.”
“It’s obviously hot because it was just boiled, you crazy brat. I’m talking about the taste, the taste.”
“The meat is tender.”
“Right? The meat here separates from the bones and flesh very tenderly.”
“Yeah, well. It’s okay.”
Lee Sa-young nodded slightly. It was a bland reaction, but it was a relief not to hear that it was bad. Only then did Eui-jae feel a little relieved.
Eui-jae glanced at the hall while doing the piled-up dishes in the kitchen. Unlike his behavior of picking a fight before ordering, Sa-young was quietly eating his meal without causing any major trouble. While the two people sitting in the eye of the storm were eating, a short peace came to the Hanover Soup Restaurant.
When he was almost done washing the dishes, Sa-young got up from his seat first. Not long after, Bae Won-woo also stood in front of the counter and called Eui-jae.
“Hey, part-timer, please check us out!”
“Yes, just a moment―”
Eui-jae took off his rubber gloves and roughly wiped the moisture left on his hands on his pants a couple of times. On the table he saw on his way to the counter, there were two earthenware pots, one emptied to the bottom and the other with a little soup left. It was natural since he hadn’t ordered anything extra, but Eui-jae was inwardly surprised that Bae Won-woo had only eaten one bowl.
“It’s 30,000 won.”
Sa-young handed over two 50,000 won bills. Was he showing off his money? Eui-jae thought, ‘What a strange crazy brat.’ and took only one bill. When he took out 20,000 won in change, Sa-young looked even more dumbfounded.
“I even paid for the tableware.”
“…Why?”
“Didn’t I tell you my name?”
“You told me, so what.”
“Didn’t you search it up…?”
Sa-young, who blinked lightly, said in an admiring tone.
“Hyung, you really don’t know me.”
And he opened his mouth a little more and showed his tongue slightly. A tongue that was not ordinary crimson, but black to the root, appeared. Sa-young, who confirmed where Eui-jae’s eyes were directed, bit the tip of his tongue slightly with his front teeth.
“Because I have Poison in my mouth,”
‘Wait a minute, shit.’
“I don’t eat out very often.”
No wonder there was an empty circle around this crazy brat! Eui-jae unknowingly looked back at the table where Lee Sa-young and Bae Won-woo had eaten. He thought he would be safe because he was wearing gloves, but he turned out to be a snake crazy brat with Poison in his mouth. That’s why you shouldn’t just read the headlines of articles, but read the content as well. There was a reason why he was wearing a Gas mask.
Sa-young smiled brightly.
“Yeah…. We need to get to know each other a little better.”
‘No, you crazy brat.’
“I’ll come again next time.”
Eui-jae’s next words came out of his mouth.
“Don’t come.”
“Tell me your name then.”
“I said don’t come.”
Eui-jae glared at Bae Won-woo openly. It meant, ‘Get lost with your Guild Leader.’ Won-woo, who perfectly caught the meaning, slowly pushed Lee Sa-young’s back with his palm. However, the No. 1 ranked in Korea was not easy to deal with. Lee Sa-young, who seemed to be pushed but not really, suddenly said.
“Hair.”
“Huh?”
“It’s black? Did you dye it?”
Damn it, how did he know that again. Fortunately, the poker face trait was still on. Eui-jae answered shamelessly.
“What are you talking about?”
“I thought I saw a bit of gray back then.”
‘Why does the crazy brat who’s wearing a Gas mask have such good eyes?’
It was fortunate that Ha-eun had told him that it was time to dye his hair. Thinking that he should buy Ha-eun the slime toy she wanted, Eui-jae replied.
“You must have seen it wrong. Why would a normal person’s hair color be gray?”
Lee Sa-young continued to say what he wanted to say, as if Eui-jae’s rebuttal was not worth answering.
“Eyes too.”
“…What?”
“They’re black.”
“Koreans have black eyes, what else would they have.”
“That’s strange.”
Lee Sa-young, who put on his Gas mask again, stared at Cha Eui-jae through the lens.
“When I saw them back then, they were blue.”
Eui-jae’s spine suddenly went cold. Did he see it in that fleeting moment before he turned off the Eye of the Tracker?
‘Ah, this crazy brat is really picky.’
The corners of Eui-jae’s mouth were gradually hardening, but at that moment, Sa-young’s purple eyes narrowed and he moved his body back.
“Well… that’s it for today. I’ll be going, Hyung.”
“Goodbye, customer.”
“Aren’t you going to call me Sa-young?”
“Get lost, will you.”
Sa-young left with a small laugh. Bae Won-woo scratched his head with a face that didn’t know what was going on, bowed, and left the Hanover Soup Restaurant. Only silence lingered in the Hanover Soup Restaurant that the storm had swept through. Eui-jae stared at the two 50,000 won bills placed on the counter and muttered.
“That crazy brat….”

Title: [Anonymous] We’re having a company dinner at the Hanover Soup Restaurant almost every day these days
Is this normal?
I’m suspecting that our team is being bullied at work as a group…
Hangover Soup is delicious… It’s delicious, but…
Eating it every day is a bit…

Q. [Question] I’m being harassed by a Hunter
Hello, I work in a small store. Where should I report a Hunter who is interfering with my business? I’m torn between the police and the Awakened Management Bureau.
A. [Questioner’s Choice]
According to the Awakened Special Act, cases related to Awakened should be reported to the Awakened Management Bureau. Even if you report it to the police, it will be transferred to the Awakened Management Bureau anyway, which will take longer to process. Report it to the Bureau of Rift Management from the beginning.
I don’t know what kind of business interference you’ve experienced… Is it perhaps a problem of a Hunter’s abuse of power? You can also upload a post on an anonymous bulletin board to make it public, taking advantage of the bad public sentiment regarding Hunters who abuse their power. If the Hunter is affiliated with a Guild, the Guild’s legal team will contact you to discuss a settlement in order to manage their image. I can’t guarantee it for free Hunters, but… if you know a reporter, try interviewing them too.
└Q+. [Questioner’s Additional Question]
If I report it to the Bureau of Rift Management, will a Bureau of Rift Management Hunter come in person?
└A+. [Answerer’s Additional Answer]
Usually, an investigator is dispatched first, but if the Hunter is somewhat famous and there is solid evidence, a Bureau of Rift Management Hunter will come right away.
A. Who? ㅋㅋ Are there still people abusing their power? If you tell me just the initials of the Hunter’s name, I’ll dig everything up. A. If they come again, record it and spread the transcript on the internet. Let’s go for justice~

―If it’s a high-ranking Hunter, their ears are good and they’re quick to notice, so they’ll notice if you’re recording with a regular machine. Breaking the machine? It’s nothing. If you’re going to record, you need to use a recording device with a Dungeon reward item or Mana Stone.
└It’s easy to say ㅋㅋㅋㅋ How can a regular person get a Dungeon reward item and a Mana Stone recorder?
└It’s easy to get if you have Hunter connections and money.
