The Wise Cleaning Life Of A Returning Genius Hunter [EN]: Chapter 353

352. After Story 9

“Aren’t you going to work today?”

Small house.

Han Sanghyuk snapped at his sister, who was sprawled out on the sofa.

But she was just staring at her phone and didn’t answer.

“If you have time, review the cleaning team training thing I mentioned last time.”

“I’m looking at it.”

“Looking at it my ass, what the hell do you do if you don’t even do that?!”

“Lower your voice. I’m your superior.”

“What a load of crap.”

Han Sanghyuk clicked his tongue openly.

In fact, she wasn’t entirely wrong.

When you think about it, the cleaning team belongs to the planning division, and Han Yubin is clearly his supervisor.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s right to bring a company title into the house.

“Superior or whatever, I’m going out for dinner tonight, so cook your own food.”

“Eat out and make dinner.”

“…….”

Han Sanghyuk looked at her with an absurd expression.

But only for a moment.

“To think that someone like that is the head of the division, the company’s a mess…….”

As if giving up, he shook his head and left the house.

Even after Han Sanghyuk left for work, Han Yubin remained on the sofa for a long time.

She didn’t want to lift a finger on her rare day off.

A former hunter affiliated with the International Association and the youngest operations team leader of the US branch.

The current head of the planning division of WDSO [World Dungeon Suppression Organization] and the leader of Cleanup, an unofficial post-mission processing organization.

One of the most important core personnel in the association.

Han Yubin.

Outwardly, she is a big shot that no one can easily mess with, but strangely, she changes when she comes home.

Well, who wouldn’t…… Han Yubin was a little different.

In fact, when she was active in the US branch, she was never lazy.

Operations planning in the morning, participation in subjugation in the afternoon, and training until just before going to bed.

Her colleagues gave her the nickname Samurai for maintaining a murderous routine for several years.

If you think about why a Korean person was given the nickname Samurai… it was obvious. It’s just a stereotype of stupid guys.

Well, from their point of view, it was a compliment.

The reason why Han Yubin became like a sick chicken when she came home was all because of that incident.

The day her only friend, Nicole, was sacrificed by Jason, the control team leader.

Since then, a deep sense of nihilism has taken root somewhere in Han Yubin’s heart.

Of course, thanks to someone she met in Korea, she got a little better…….

Ring-.

It was then.

Speak of the devil, the phone rang out of the blue.

It was none other than Kim Junwoo, the head of WDSO.

“Haa…….”

No matter how grateful I am to him personally, it’s not right to contact me on a holiday.

I already had a bad feeling… but what can I do?

Even if I have various titles, I’m just a worker who does what I’m told.

“…What’s wrong?”

Han Yubin answered the phone and opened her mouth as sullenly as possible.

Then Kim Junwoo said something.

“Me?”

Han Yubin raised her voice as if she couldn’t understand.

“That?”

Just in case, I asked again, but Kim Junwoo’s answer remained the same.

“…Why?”

In the end, Han Yubin asked a question from the bottom of her heart.

***

“Hmm…….”

WDSO Seoul Headquarters, Secretary-General’s office.

I groaned as I looked through the documents given to me by Secretary Shin Suji.

“As I reported, the domestic subjugation industry reduction plan is proceeding without any setbacks. Hanbyul Group is also actively supporting us. Most of the projects that the Secretary-General has been working on have been well received, so if we maintain this, we will be able to reduce the subjugation industry by more than 80% within a year.”

“I see…….”

“…Is there something you don’t like?”

Secretary Shin Suji asked carefully as I answered vaguely.

“No. It’s not that I don’t like it…….”

I trailed off.

“I think the domestic situation is not bad, but we haven’t even touched the overseas side yet. That’s a bit of a concern.”

“…….”

WDSO’s ultimate goal is for the world to escape from the Otherworld phenomenon.

In order to return to a world without subjugation or hunters, we need something to replace the subjugation industry.

Well, developed countries are preparing little by little under the leadership of each association.

The problem is that developing countries still rely on the subjugation industry for most of their national economy.

Of course, it would be impossible to suddenly stop subjugation in such a situation.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I still don’t know how to deal with this. Has there been any talk about it at the board of directors?”

“The board of directors has suggested agriculture, tourism, and overseas factory projects. Of course, they are all potential alternative businesses, but…….”

“It’s questionable whether the countries will accept them.”

“Yes…….”

Secretary Shin Suji nodded once.

“Hmm.”

I crossed my arms and let out a faint sigh.

Yes. That’s the problem.

No matter how much we promote and support businesses to replace subjugation, it means nothing if the country doesn’t accept it.

And logically, they wouldn’t agree to reduce a business that is making a lot of money right now and replace it with a business that may or may not grow.

Above all, we know the situation, and we can’t force the business on countries that live off of subjugation alone.

The important thing is how to persuade them to reduce the subjugation industry.

As I was thinking about it, Secretary Shin Suji carefully opened her mouth.

“Well, it’s not urgent, so take your time to think about it…….”

“It’s been over a year since we passed it on like that. There’s no guarantee that something will come out of it if we give it more time, even though there hasn’t been a good solution in the meantime.”

I cut her off and said, and Secretary Shin Suji closed her mouth.

“Postponing it will only maintain the status quo. Now we have to find a way somehow.”

At that moment, I added.

“I agree.”

A familiar voice came into the office.

There’s no need to check who it is.

“…Don’t you have any work to do? How can you come here every day?”

“Of course I do. I’m just so capable that I finish it quickly.”

“Then find something else to do. Don’t just wander around here and there because you’re bored.”

“That’s why I came.”

Lee Ayoung, the president of the Korean Association of WDSO.

She naturally approached me and Secretary Shin Suji and opened her mouth.

“Anyway, we really need to start now. Even our country, which was in a good situation, took a year to reduce the expected value of the subjugation industry by only 10%. What about countries that rely on subjugation for most of their overall economic activity?”

“Well, I agree.”

I nodded.

And then I immediately asked her.

“So, do you have any good ideas, President?”

“No?”

“…….”

I knew she just came to hang out.

“Well, I do have a backup plan.”

“Backup plan?”

“Merge developing country associations with other associations.”

My eyes narrowed at her words.

But only for a moment.

“That’s… not a bad idea.”

I immediately understood her words and nodded.

“I… what do you mean? What does it mean to merge associations…….”

Of course, Secretary Shin Suji didn’t, but I added an explanation.

“If we move from self-subjugation to merged subjugation, the proportion of the subjugation industry in the country will inevitably decrease.”

“Then, isn’t that bad? If we forcibly reduce subjugation before we have a solution…….”

“If the parent association pays the subjugation fee, it will solve the problem to some extent. The rest is for us to gradually promote businesses to replace the subjugation industry.”

Only then did Secretary Shin Suji understand and exclaimed.

“Of course, this is also somewhat forced, but… at least it will be more persuasive than forcing reduction without anything.”

As I spoke, Secretary Shin Suji asked.

“Then, the parent association is Korea…….”

“No. We’re just starting to reduce it, so there’s no need to increase it again.”

“Yes……?”

“Well, there’s only one other country that would ask for something like this.”

I looked at President Lee Ayoung and said, and she nodded as if she agreed.

“The American Association.”

“…There’s no other choice. As expected.”

She added to my words.

“The important thing is whether the American Association has a reason to accept this project. In the first place, they are also reducing subjugation.”

“That’s right. Above all, they’ll quickly realize that we’re trying to push them as a substitute because we don’t want to do the work ourselves.”

“Hmm…….”

I crossed my arms and groaned again.

“First of all… we have to try.”

It’s worth trying whether it works or not.

Then we should proceed without hesitation.

“Secretary Shin, please schedule a meeting with the American Association.”

“When should we schedule it?”

“The sooner the better.”

Then, Secretary Shin Suji’s eyebrows rippled.

“Don’t tell me… you’re not thinking of going yourself?”

“What do you mean? Of course I have to go myself.”

“The Secretary-General can’t go.”

“Yes……?”

“I told you. We’re going to adjust the number of domestic dungeon appearances with dimensional stones starting this week, and you have to monitor it directly for a month.”

“Ah…….”

That’s right.

The Korean Association has officially started the process of reducing subjugation, and as the first step, it has decided to reduce the amount of dungeon appearances in Seoul by 5% this week.

Of course, there is no room for problems to arise by reducing the number of dungeons.

However, it was the first attempt in the world, and we still had to maintain the balance between the reduction process and subjugation profits, so close observation was necessary.

Of course, that judgment must be made directly by me, the Secretary-General of WDSO.

‘Annoying…….’

Honestly, anyone could make that judgment, not just me.

It’s inevitable because of the external image.

“Anyway, I think it would be better for President Lee Ayoung to go.”

Secretary Shin Suji looked at Lee Ayoung and said.

And the moment she added a word.

“And I think it would be good to have someone who knows the American Association well to assist her…….”

“…….”

“…….”

A strange energy began to circulate in the office.

Soon I immediately realized what Secretary Shin Suji was trying to say.

“Oh, no! How important is this, who knows what that human will do……!”

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

“Are there only two people in our side who are related to the American Association? Director Chloe is banned from leaving the country, so it can’t be her, so there’s only one person.”

“…….”

Although the name was not mentioned, I stood up from my seat and vehemently opposed it.

Lee Ayoung also seemed to feel the same way from her expression.

But Secretary Shin Suji had a calm expression.

“I have assisted President Park Inbeom and Director Lee Doosik for several years…….”

She said that and glanced at me once.

“They felt the same way when they sent the Secretary-General overseas.”

“…….”

She threw a word that I couldn’t refute.
