By Zephyria Lee Sa-young hadn’t come to the store for days, even though he had offered a deal and given his number first. During that time, Eui-jae didn’t erase his number. He didn’t sell it on the Tomato Market either. Rather, he found himself turning on Sa-young’s contact information and getting lost in thought more often.
Because, as Lee Sa-young’s ominous prediction had foretold, strange people flocked to the store like a school of carp chasing after food.
For example….
“Yes, this is Hanover Soup Restaurant.”
―Hello, this is Kim So-young, a writer from MBB Broadcasting Station. Is it a good time to talk?
“I’m sorry, but we don’t deliver.”
―It’s not about delivery, I was calling to ask if you’re interested in appearing on a broadcast. Our program is a live show called One Two Day that airs weekdays at 7 PM, and we have a segment introducing famous restaurants…
“I’m not appearing on any broadcasts.”
―If we promote it as a popular restaurant for Hunters, it will help promote your store too…
“I’m not interested. I have a lot of customers, so I’ll hang up now.”
Or getting calls like this about once a day,
“Customer.”
“Yes?”
“Turn off the camera in your bag.”
“Huh? No, where do you see a camera? Did you see it? Ha, that’s ridiculous.”
“Unauthorized filming is illegal.”
“Hey, you! I can hear the camera running. That guy’s ignoring the ears of the Hunters.”
“Why are you filming people eating Hangover Soup? What is that guy?”
“…Crazy, that crazy brat is creating forced controversy and uploading it to U-tube as a cyber wrecker!”
“What!”
“Damn it, just you wait!”
“If we don’t catch him, two people here will get caught up in dating articles.”
“What are you staring at! Catch that crazy brat and beat him up!”
“Don’t clear my Hangover Soup. I’ll catch that crazy brat before my Hangover Soup gets cold.”
“I have this thermal artifact. Your Hangover Soup will be safe.”
“Lee Won-ho…!”
“Duchil Kang…!”
“It looks like those two are going to have a dating scandal.”
Such incidents were commonplace, and of course…

Delicious^^ -Hunter Jung-bin
After facing even Jung-bin’s autograph that popped out of a suddenly arrived registered mail, he no longer had the will to pay attention to each and every thing.
Jung-bin’s autograph would be quite expensive. Eui-jae wondered if he should just sell this on the Tomato Market too, but he didn’t want to be subjected to another message terror, so he quietly stuck it on the wall. Ha-eun liked it, so it turned out well in the end.
These days, ordinary people with cannon cameras had also started loitering around the store, probably trying to take pictures of named Hunters. Far from a quiet life, the only thing that increased was the number of times he got involved with the wider world, and Eui-jae was starting to get annoyed.
12:24 PM. Eui-jae frowned as he swept the front of the store with a broom during a very brief moment of free time. He could feel a camera filming him from afar. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the ability to manipulate electricity, so he couldn’t damage the camera from a distance. He could throw the broom and hit the camera, but….
‘Should I just throw it?’
“Alba-nim! Please give us some more kimchi!”
“Yes.”
‘I am a weak ordinary person. An ordinary person cannot break a camera with a broom. I am a weak ordinary person….’
Fortunately, thanks to the well-timed call, Eui-jae banished the bad thoughts from his head. Eui-jae reaffirmed that he was a good-natured ordinary person working at a Hanover Soup Restaurant and trudged back to the store. All of this wouldn’t have happened simply because of one Mana Stone.
An incredibly rare Mana Stone was listed on the Tomato Market in this area? That’s something that would only be an issue among Hunters. Some crazy person listed an A+ grade Mana Stone at a giveaway price, so let’s search the area right away to find the owner of the Mana Stone. And while we’re at it, let’s eat the Hangover Soup that’s famous among Hunters.
But there’s a store where South Korea’s proud Rank 1 Hunter Lee Sa-young and national civil servant Hunter Jung-bin ate Hangover Soup side by side? This is a big deal.
From that moment on, it was natural that the store would receive all sorts of attention. The fact that a cyber wrecker and cannon cameras that he had never seen before appeared around the store was also after Jung-bin’s visit, so it matched up in terms of timing.
‘It seems like Jung-bin and Lee Sa-young are the problem….’
It was the moment when Eui-jae was listening to Jung-bin’s voice on TV, giving tips on preventing water pipe freezing, and taking out a kimchi container.
Vroom―
“Ugh!”
“Crazy!”
“Someone save me!”
A loud exhaust sound and a scream that seemed to tear apart the silence of the alley. Eui-jae glanced out the door. He was confident that he wouldn’t be surprised no matter what he saw now, but the sight of a sleek black motorcycle blocking the door was new again.
The Hunters who were waiting in line in front of the store stuck to the wall to avoid the motorcycle, and the Hunters who were eating Hangover Soup also craned their necks to see what was going on.
Someone in a black leather rider jacket, dark navy jeans, and black boots. With a helmet pressed down, stood in front of the store’s sliding door. The rider jacket peeked into the store for a moment as if looking around, then roughly took off the helmet. Bright golden hair tied high in a ponytail cascaded down softly.
The Hunters who had been holding their breath and watching the jacket’s actions gasped.
“Giant Hornet…!”
“Why did the Giant Hornet come here?”
“Who’s calling her Giant Hornet? Do you want to die?”
“Hic, I’m sorry!”
Giant Hornet didn’t even try to hide her fierce momentum and burst into the store, pushing open the sliding door with a bang. The golden hair tied high and the nickname Giant Hornet. It was someone he had seen when looking for information about Lee Sa-young.
―Rank 5 in South Korea, A-rank Hunter, Hunter name Honeybee. Real name Yoo Chae-hyun. Her Hunter name is Honeybee, but many people call her Giant Hornet because of her fighting style and personality.
…But why did a Rank 5 Hunter come to this shabby Hanover Soup Restaurant? Could it be to eat Hangover Soup? As if to mock Eui-jae’s thoughts, Honeybee shouted loudly from her diaphragm.
“Lee Sa-young, come out!”
Okay, Lee Sa-young is the problem after all. The expression on Eui-jae’s face, who was thinking about whether to add another Hunter autograph to the wall, quickly turned cold.
Honeybee, noticing his gaze, turned to Eui-jae. Her cute and pretty face scanned him up and down as he hugged the kimchi container, and her voice changed to be relatively kind, as if she thought Eui-jae was an ordinary person.
“Is there a problem?”
Does she not know and is asking now? In Eui-jae’s judgment, there were already many problems. It wasn’t a cute level that could be passed off as ‘a problem’.
Motorcycle parking in front of the door! The audacity to shout Lee Sa-young’s name and barge in!! The arrogance of blocking the front of the door!!! The ferocity that made the waiting customers stick to the wall like gum!!!! Finally, even the ominous feeling that a Honeybee ZONE might be created!!!!! Everything was a problem.
He was flustered when he met someone he knew after a long time with Jung-bin, but in fact, dealing with these Hunters was easy for Eui-jae. Eui-jae spoke blankly and innocently, as if he were calling the Rift Management Bureau.
“Ah, wait a moment.”
“…….”
[Trait Poker Face (B) is activated.]
“You’re Honeybee-ssi, right?”
Now that it’s come to this, I’m going with the ordinary person cosplay meta.
The stronger and more famous a Hunter is, the more they care about their reputation, so he was aiming for the fact that they are kind and lenient to ordinary people. Eui-jae even used a finishing move that would prove that he was an ordinary and good-natured citizen, something that would never come out of the mouths of Hunters.
“Wow, I’m a real fan.”
Honeybee, hearing the fan story, quickly changed her attitude like a bee. She untied her hair, brushed her long golden hair down, and struck the signature pose that went into the hair dye CF. Her hair fluttered in the heater wind that blew at just the right time.
“Change your color!”
‘This much?’
Eui-jae paused slightly, but soon regained his composure. He drummed on the surface of the kimchi container like a drum and even cheered, “Wow!”
