I tamed the first rank Chapter 70

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been answering indifferently the whole time, instinctively closed his eyes and smiled faintly when their eyes met. Of course, the viewers who were participating in the live broadcast couldn’t see In Yoo-shin, but it was obvious who those meltingly sweet eyes were directed at.

In the comments section where the comments were going crazy, In Yoo-shin couldn't raise his reddened face after seeing words like "salting" and "melodrama eyes".

Even the other employees of the digital communication team in the conference room felt awkward for no reason, but Hyeon Gyu-ha remained calm.

“Team Leader. But how long do I have to do this?”

“Ahem, just answer three more questions that stand out to you and then we can move on.”

"Then………………. 1 Are you asking me to make a survival report in the private chat room? Because I am a man without ego, only if my boyfriend permits it."

In Yoo-shin nodded hurriedly with a red face, and Hyeon Gyu-ha took a selfie on the spot and sent it to the private chat room.

“2. I don’t plan on creating an SNS group because it would be a hassle to manage. 3. I did join the fan cafe a long time ago when I was bored, but I got kicked out for posting spam when my ID was hacked. I couldn’t even re-join. Question time is over.”

Whether the fan cafe that permanently banned him was overturned or not, Hyeon Gyu-ha continued with the script. He memorized the entire thing after skimming through it once and moved his lips absentmindedly.

“As Hye-yeon said earlier, public servant hunters are people who do their best in places that are not visible, even though they get cursed at.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha shrugged his shoulders as he recited a script that relieved the sorrow of the disabled who were being beaten here and there, while also asking for more support for the civil service hunters.

“Well, I know that saying something like that won’t really get through to many people. Even if you work part-time at other engineering schools, you won’t get the same salary as the guild. People who don’t like shift work will have a hard time. However, there are definitely some advantages to working at a public service hunter. First of all, the cafeteria is delicious. They serve special meals regularly. They also provide breakfast and dinner for shift workers, so people who don’t want to bother cooking can eat three nutritious meals at the cafeteria.”

This wasn't in the script. The staff looked puzzled, but since he was talking about the good points, they thought that good things were good. I didn't know what he was thinking, but I seriously thought that maybe we should shut his mouth first.

“Here’s the point. Even if you’re a hunter who’s interested in becoming a public service hunter, you’re still at a low rank. If you go to a regular guild with that rank, you’ll be busy mopping up the floor for the higher-ranking hunters, so why not become a public service hunter instead? Rather than getting beat up in a shitty guild trying to make more money, it seems like it would be better for everyone to find mental peace in a small special ability guild. The extra money you earn could all go towards mental hospital bills. By the way, the hunters in the Ministry of Ability are generally the 'them' in 'I'm better than them.' I'm not included in that, of course.”¹

Team Leader Noh let out a silent scream. In Yoo-shin sank heavily. He had to cover Hyeon Gyu-ha’s mouth as well.

“I think I’ve done everything I can to promote it, and I’ll tell you something personal. Those who wrote malicious comments about my boyfriend should be sued by me by now, but since there’s no agreement and no leniency, don’t waste your energy on useless things. That’s all for now. Thank you for watching the live broadcast.”

The live broadcast that started unexpectedly was going well, but ended with Team Leader Noh's mental state suddenly collapsing.

“T-Thank you for your hard work.…….”

"Team Leader. Is what I said earlier okay?"

“I don’t know……. It’ll work out somehow…….”

It's already spilled milk. Team Leader Noh decided to think positively. Since he'd already drawn some aggro, he could probably call it publicity…….? He had said it was publicity. And he had Hyeon Gyu-ha as his all-purpose shield. Who could shut Hyeon Gyu-ha's mouth?

And the only person who could do that task was more surprised by the other remarks.

“What did you file?”

"You don't have to worry about it, Yoo-shin-ssi. If those guys contact you because they can't get through to me, just ignore them and hand them over to me right away. I'll take care of everything."

In Yoo-shin nodded absentmindedly.

Ohana, who had no responsibilities anyway since she was a contract worker, quickly recovered and approached the two people.

“Hunter-nim, I’d like to ask you to take just one photo to post on SNS.”

She quickly continued speaking before Hyeon Gyu-ha could refuse and that it was annoying.

“I brought a Polaroid too, so let’s take a nice picture with Yoo-shin to commemorate the live broadcast!”

Hyeon Gyu-ha agreed without a second thought.

In this way, the live broadcast ended completely after many twists and turns. Team Leader Noh learned the lesson from the public relations manager that he should never do a live broadcast with Hyeon Gyu-ha.

But his aggro really worked, and the number of applications for civil service hunters increased more than usual during the next quarter's recruitment.

Meanwhile, In Yoo-shin, who had never taken a Polaroid photo before, looked at it with curiosity. It definitely felt different from the photos taken with a cell phone. Is this the real emotion?

Hyeon Gyu-ha also bowed his head and looked at the photo.

“I was worried when I came out in the morning whether I would be able to pull it off, but looking at it this way, it’s not so bad.”

“Who wouldn’t fall for Gyu-ha-ssi’s face?”

In Yoo-shin answered seriously and gently put the photo into his phone case. I planned to put it on the wall where it would be visible when I got home. It was the first photo I had taken with him.

“I did something that pleased my Master for once today, so I hope I don’t have to fight with the devil so that I can maintain this appearance perfectly until I get off work.”

“That sounds like a bit of a flag.”

"Hey, no way."

Hyeon Gyu-ha laughed as if that couldn’t be the case.

By the time the live broadcast ended, it was roughly lunchtime.

The employees' mentality is disturbed, and the broadcast commemorative dinner is therapy. When they arrived at the meat restaurant near the office building and smelled the lingering smell of meat, the employees except Team Leader Noh regained their senses.

“If I had known there was a company dinner here, I would have gone to eat somewhere better.”

Hyeon Gyu-ha clicked his tongue. He had already made a reservation so he couldn't cancel it.

As the red hook and other meats were served one by one, Team Leader Noh belatedly regained his energy. If I stuff some meat into my stomach, wouldn’t I be able to endure it even if I was beaten by my superiors?

"This was our first urgent live broadcast, but you worked really hard today. Our team owes a lot to Hunter-nim and Yoo-shin-ssi. Please continue to support us in the future. We have to go back before lunch time, so eat quickly. And no soju, so as to not get a public complaint!"

The table soon began to smell deliciously of grilled meat. As usual, Hyeong Gyu-ha snatched the meat before In Yoo-shin could even pick up the tongs, and began grilling the meat himself. The staff at the same table also felt embarrassed that they ate the meat for free.

He heard that an 8-se, who was adored by the office staff and even got snacks while In Yoo-shin was doing a live broadcast. He cutely licked the cola that In Yoo-shin poured into a soju glass. It seems he still had room for meat.

“Yoo-shin-ssi, this kid eats raw garlic well too? That’s really amazing.”

8-se, who was munching on meat, also crunched on the garlic that the employee next to him gave him out of curiosity. It was spicy, so he ate slowly, but he quickly finished one garlic clove. In Yoo-shin put more meat on 8-se’s plate.

"Is its name Palse?"

“The number is 8. I raised seven rats before this one.”

“Aha. 8-se ya, eat lots of meat.”

But really, 8-se is a hamster-shaped demon that I found in the dungeon and tamed. Hyeon Gyu-ha too. It wasn't entirely wrong.

“I think that guy would eat raw meat well.”

Even while grumbling, Hyeon Gyu-ha used scissors to cut the meat that he was going to serve to 8-se. 8-se, who was absorbed in the meat, rarely responded to Hyeon Gyu-ha's harassment and just eagerly ate the meat.

One of the employees at the next table, who was fiddling with his cell phone, suddenly raised his voice.

“Oh, our broadcast response is really good?”

“It’s already spreading?”

“Two hunter-nims have appeared, of course! Just by glancing, the hottest thing seems to be …… ahem, I think it's the part where Hunter Hyeon was smiling.”

The dinner party became even more lively as the response was good despite the twists and turns. Hyeon Gyu-ha was the only one who was grilling meat without paying attention even though he was listening to his own story.

“Would you like some more perilla leaves?”

“Ah, yes.”

While trying to secretly find out his reaction, Hyeon Gyu-ha spoke to him, and In Yoo-shin, who was pricked by his own behaviour, quickly put down his phone.

After the company dinner, the other employees hurried back to the office, but In Yoo-shin leisurely headed to the Hunter waiting room with Hyeon Gyu-ha. If it were any other time, I would have been unable to resist Hyeon Gyu-ha’s seduction with his face and would have gone down to the gym in tears, but today, he was wearing a perfectly fitting suit.

"I can't wear wrinkled clothes in front of Master."

For a moment, In Yoo-shin was tempted to think that he should be asking him to wear a suit every day.

But.

“Next time I wear a suit, I should bring my training clothes too.”

“…….”

Well then, things can't be resolved that easily.

The other hunters were either in the training room or out on business, so there were only two people in the waiting room. 8-se, who had inhaled a lot of meat, laid down on an empty chair with his bulging belly sticking out.

“Kyuung……”

I feel like I ate a dozen times my body weight, but where did all that food I ate go?

While Hyeon Gyu-ha left the break room to make coffee for two people, In Yoo-shin quickly entered a search term into his phone.

Hyeon Gyu-ha's melodramatic eyes.
