Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 44

“No, no, no! It’s not! Don’t cry! I don’t want to die!”

She hurriedly pulled out the tissue and wiped Seora’s eyes. Seora sniffed and blew out her nose.

“You didn’t rip it off your parents; it’s the luck they didn’t use during their lifetime! So their death has nothing to do with you!”

Uh, oh my god. What can I say? Baek Heewon grumbled and sighed. Seora sniffed.

“I don’t know who gave it to you, but you have the luck of three people right now. It’s not perfect, so some of it seems to be in your brother.”

I see. So, my mom’s and dad’s luck is also in my brother…

“The things you’ve been through? That’s not bad luck. It may look like that from a plan view, but in reality, it must have brought you good luck.”

“Good luck…”

She was depressed for a while, but then her face froze instantly.

Although she had met the administrator in Werewolf’s dungeon, she had felt the fear of death then. And ever since then, she’d been stuck left and right with the problems concerning regressors and returnees. Which part of this was considered good luck…?

“It’s true, it’s true. Could you please stop cursing me with your eyes?”

“How am I supposed to believe you? Are those two people my good luck? Do you think fear of death is good luck?”

Let’s take a step back and think about it.

After meeting Kang Sejun, I made a fortune in the Magic Stone Cave. I also got an S-class weapon for serving as Sung Jarim’s nanny.

But it wasn’t good enough to call it luck. How am I supposed to be compensated for the mental shock I’ve received in the past?

“I don’t believe it. What if you’re not a good enough shaman?”

“You’re seriously making me crazy!”

But what can I do if I don’t believe it?

Baek Heewon, who read the distrust in Seora’s, pounded her chest.

“Then, please look at one more thing. After hearing the answer, I will decide whether you’re a quack or not.”

“A quack…?! Ugh, this is the first time in my life I’ve heard this. Ha! What do you want to ask me? You probably won’t believe that either.”

“Oh, you’re so narrow-minded.”

“Ah, what is it?! What?! What is it this time?!”

“If you tell me this well, I will believe what you say about my luck. This is really important.”

With a serious expression on her face, Seora straightened her posture, and Baek Heewon also became a little nervous.

“Tell me.”

“I…”

Gulp.

“When can I resign?”

“… When can you what?”

“Resign. The happiest retirement for employees. Re! Sign! I want to resign!”

The sight of Seora banging on the small bowl was filled with madness.

“Resign? Why would you worry about changing jobs? Why not just send your resignation letter?”

“Do you think I don’t know that?! The problem is that my director is turning down my resignation letter. So please let me know. When will he accept my resignation?”

Baek Heewon realized once again at the eyes glistening with madness. Touching an office worker on leave or getting off work is incomparable to touching the nose of a sleeping lion.

They are monsters that could defeat even zombie swarms in front of them with their bare hands for the sake of leaving on time, taking annual leave, and resigning.

If you don’t want to lose here, you have to speak well.

“Mm, mm.”

Baek Heewon, with a careful face, scattered a few grains of rice on the bowl. At that sight, Seora was very nervous.

Please, please! Whoever you are, the God behind esteemed Baek Heewon, please give me the power to resign!

“Mm… I see.”

Did you get an answer?

But Baek Heewon silently collected the rice. And sowed again, then again, then again, then again, and again, and again, and again…

Perhaps she repeated it ten times before raising her head with a serious expression. Seora swallowed a gulp.

“D-Did you get a result?”

“You…”

“Yes! Come on, tell me! When? Today? Tomorrow? A week later? Is it possible this year?”

“Which one was the best out of the ones you had earlier?”

“… Pardon?”

“Nevermind. I’m sure you liked everything because you ate them well. I’ll wrap it up for you, so go home and eat it.”

Baek Heewon got up from her seat and strode towards the door.

“Wait a minute! Where are you going!? You were supposed to tell me when I’ll be able to resign! Let’s talk about the results first!”

“Ah, why are you making a fuss when I want to pack your favourite food?”

“The result! Please tell me the results first! Please tell me when I can quit my job!”

Seora tried to grab her leg right away, but Heewon jumped and avoided it. In a movement comparable to that of a bird, Seora clasped vainly in the air.

“I’ll give you enough to eat, so don’t worry! I’ll put preservation magic too so that you don’t have to worry about the expiration date! Take it home!”

“I don’t need anything to eat! Just tell me when I can quit! My resignation! My resignation! Aaaaagh!”

Seora rolled all over the floor and screamed, but Baek Heewon coldly jumped outside.

Wait. Don’t tell me I will never be able to resign. Don’t tell me I must work for the rest of my life.

“Uhuhuhu. My resignation. My resignatioooon!”

[Administrator: ( ‘⌣’)/(._. `)]

“Hwaaaaaaaaa!”

The wailing continued for a long time in the tiled house. It was so loud that rumours circulated among those climbing Mount Taebek that there was a ghost who cried very sadly.

***

In the end, Baek Heewon didn’t announce the timing of her resignation. It was even worse because she didn’t even tell her if it was possible.

I will surely call Baek Heewon a quack after leaving the company. Seora made a firm promise while crying.

But the tears stopped as soon as she got out of the house. When a person is too surprised, they forget to be sad.

“Uh, why is Retur- Kang Sejun here…?”

She was so startled that she almost called him Returnee-ssi.

Surprisingly, Kang Sejun was with Sung Jarim and Jung Hoyoung, who had been waiting in front of the gate.

“You… Did you cry?”

He glanced over the red-nosed Seora’s face with a surprised look. ‘Someone like you know how to cry?’ He seemed to marvel.

You unpleasant man.

“I am going through the greatest sadness of my life right now. Don’t make fun of me.”

The surprise is gone and I want to cry again. Seora grabbed the tip of her nose.

“What the hell happened? I told Baek Heewon to take good care of you.”

Jung Hoyoung held Seora in her arms and looked at Baek Heewon.

“She’s already a vulnerable child. What if she’s scared out of her wits? What did you say?”

“Sniff.”

It was truly a sight to behold, like a mother birdholding its young in her arms. The faces of the three people who knew the truth were contorted.

It is true that people are brave when they’re ignorant. Vulnerable? Scared out of her wits? If I dare to scare her out of her wits, I’m going to die.

Baek Heewon was really upset. But she couldn’t tell the truth, so she just pounded her chest.

Th-th-th-that punk, who was caught in Jung Hoyoung’s arms with her eyes wide open, was very annoying.

Kang Sejun and Sung Jarim looked at her like that with pity.

“There’s no such thing as bad luck, so there’s no need to worry! On the contrary, she’s sooooooo lucky that I’m so jealous.”

A contract with the system administrator. Where did you get such a golden opportunity? I will die of envy.

“What? But why is the child crying so sadly?”

“Cough. That’s- cough. Cough.”

Baek Heewon, who couldn’t say that there was no chance she’d be able to resign, coughed loudly.

“Anyway, I’ve said everything I’ve said. You won’t need my help anymore, so don’t come to me. I don’t want to see you or that punk anymore. Get out of here.”

Baek Heewon, who was waving her hand, grabbed Kang Sejun’s back, who was standing next to him, and pulled him inward.

But just before closing the gate, Heewon looked at Seora. Her lips were clapping as if she had something to say.

“What’s wrong? Do I have something on my face?”

“Oh. You did get milk and crumbs on it. But not because of that. You… I don’t know if I can say it, but I have to tell you one thing.”

“Why? What is it? Can I quit my job?”

“Oh, my God! It’s even more, more important than that! Well, they’re there, aren’t they? Hold on to them. Get close to each other.”

They? The administrator? Why?

“… so that a different choice can be made this time.”

“Choice? What does that mean?”

“Ugh, I’m afraid I can’t say more. If you want to ask, ask God. I‘m leaving!”

Baek Heewon, who left the unknown sentence, disappeared through the slammed gate with Kang Sejun.

What the hell are you talking about? Seora blinked.

‘Liza-ssi? What choice did she talk about? What did you do?’

[Administrator: ◔_◔;;;;]

Huh? They’re avoiding my eyes. Seriously? What is it about?

Seora wanted to grab them right away and squeeze them to ask what it was about, but things didn’t go well for that.

“Seora, are you sure you’re okay?”

Because not only Sung Jarim was there, but Jung Hoyoung was also there. Seora looked at the air for a moment and then shook her head.

“No, I’m not okay. Ha… I want to quit…”

Jung Hoyoung, who was about to ask what she was saying, exclaimed, “Ah,” at Seora’s low mutter. Jung Hoyoung just gently patted Seora on the shoulder as she looked so depressed that she couldn’t even ask anything.

***

“What day is it today? There are all sorts of strange people coming.”

Baek Heewon, who brought Kang Sejun into her house, grumbled over and over again.

“Well, I’m sure there’s no one more special than Yoon Seora.”

“Am I not enough?”

Baek Heewon looked at him with a deep look.

She had been famous even before her upheaval, and her abilities had grown even more after awakening. Although she might not be able to see everything, she had the eyes to see the situation in more detail.

“Yeah. Of course, I admit that you and Sung Jarim are unique. But after seeing Yoon Seora, I am not impressed.”

“That much?”

“Again, you two are unique. But Yoon Seora is special. Do you see the difference?”

“You said she’s special. Is her contracted Entity so great?”

In that short question, Baek Heewon grasped a few facts.

Kang Sejun knew that Yoon Seora had made contract with an “Entity”. But he didn’t know that the other party was the system administrator, not a real Entity.”

Then she would also have to keep her secret.

“It’s great. But I think the kid who got the contract out of that great being is even greater.”

“There’s definitely something extraordinary about her.”

Kang Sejun nodded, remembering Seora, who had embarrassed him since the first meeting. In particular, he would never forget how she had laughed and excitedly swung her pickaxe in the Magic Stone Cave.

“You know me so well. You must’ve met me before, right?”

Baek Heewon looked at Kang Sejun and smiled. It was quite different from the appearance shown in front of Seora.

“Right. How many times have you repeated your life already?”

As expected. Baek Heewon is Baek Heewon. Her sight instantly reminded me of the past that had disappeared.
