Episode 175: To Japan (2)
* * *
“Brother! welcome!”
As soon as the immigration process was completed, Ahn Young-ho warmly welcomed Kang-hoo.
It felt like watching Park Dong-jae’s 2nd unit, except that his voice was high-pitched, different from the low-toned Park Dong-jae.
Ahn Young-ho’s eyes were dripping with respect and gratitude.
“It’s been a while, Youngho.”
“It’s really hard to bring you to Japan! sorry. “I should have played harder.”
“My uncle is listening behind me. Isn’t this a very dangerous statement?”
“ah! iced coffee! is that so?”
While Kang Hoo was shaking hands with Ahn Young Ho, Fumiya Suzuki naturally took a seat next to him.
Ricou Guild has solidified its position as the top 1 in the Kansai region of Japan.
He is the assistant guild master of that guild. A significant figure has emerged.
In fact, if he were not Ahn Young-ho’s maternal uncle, it is much more likely that he would not have appeared here.
Looking at Fumiya’s constellation information, it seemed like he was well over level 600.
Although he couldn’t compare to Jang Si-hwan or Chae Gwan-hyung, he seemed to have the ability to easily surpass Kang Dong-hyun.
Then, Ahn Young-ho took a slight step back and Fumiya took the first step to shake Kang-hoo’s hand.
“Bangapsmu….”
“You can speak comfortably in Japanese. “I know how to do things quite usefully and I know how to listen well.”
Kanghu spoke in Japanese with a bright smile to Fumiya, who was trying to say hello in Korean.
Since there were no inconveniences in terms of language, there were many convenient aspects in this area.
“Nice to meet you. This is Fumiya Suzuki, the deputy guild master of the Rikou guild and Youngho’s maternal uncle. “Please feel free to call me Fumiya.”
“This is Shin Kang-hoo.”
“I heard that this is your first time abroad. How do you feel? “It’s not much different in Japan, right?”
“You can’t make a quick decision just by looking at the airport, but the overall feeling is not much different from that in Korea.”
Kanghu nodded to Fumiya’s question.
That’s what I did when I researched it in advance.
It is said that Japan also has similar implicit rules to Korea, so it does not interfere with the airport railway.
Of course, the majority of Japan’s Hunter Security Agency’s power is concentrated on these transportation facilities.
Anyway, perhaps thanks to that, the area around the airport didn’t seem to be messy or anything worth being cautious about.
However, the notices about wanted people that kept coming from the electronic display board were threatening.
Among them, there was an electronic bulletin board notification about some hunters with extreme tendencies.
[Yuji Ishihara]
[Level 1 Most Wanted Target]
[He is a hunter of note who has been killing indiscriminately targeting hunters who entered the country from Korea and China.]
‘Yes, there was that bastard.’
In the original work, the story set in Japan was never progressed as the main story.
In the case of the main character, Jang Si-hwan, his main overseas activities were in the United States and Germany.
However, Japanese stories were not completely absent.
There was information derived from Takashi, and among them was information about Yuuji Ishihara.
Yuuji, who had anti-Korean tendencies, was a crazy killer that even Japanese hunters despised.
Rather than saying that he really had such a tendency, it could be said that he gave a forced reason to justify the murder.
However, as announced on the electronic display board, it was true that they were targeting Korean and Chinese hunters for any reason.
Judging from the current known level, the level is over 500.
In addition, he was a very difficult hunter because he was a combination of berserker and assassin characteristics.
Therefore, he was a level 1 wanted target and was still wanted even though the security agencies of Korea, China, and Japan were cooperating.
Although he will receive close protection from the Ricou Guild, he has decided not to let down the tension.
If you meet Takashi or engage in outside activities, you will ultimately have to take care of your own body.
Just because the Ricou Guild is friendly and considerate doesn’t mean they take care of your every move.
Fumiya guided Kanghu toward the safety limousine waiting in front of the airport in advance.
It was a special limousine that could not be compared to the safety limousine that I rode thanks to Jeong Yu-ri the other day.
At first glance, it was a luxurious vehicle that looked like it could easily break into hundreds of millions of dollars in one run.
Was saving Ahn Young-ho worth this much?
I thought it was too much treatment, but at the same time, I thought it might be a reward for saving my beloved nephew from the danger of almost losing him.
While riding the limousine and moving to the place where the Ricou Guild building is located.
A more intimate conversation continued in the car.
Ahn Young-ho, who was expected to chatter eagerly next to him, stayed as silent as possible to see if he had anything promised to Fumiya.
“Your status has changed a lot from when I first contacted you. Do you know?”
“It seems like I somehow managed to build up notoriety and fame at the same time. Does the guild keep track of domestic trends?”
“of course. “We are also considering cooperation with Korean guilds to expand the guild’s reach.”
“What is the progress?”
“I can’t tell you the details, but it’s not easy because you have competition. haha.”
Fumiya’s words with a bitter smile contained a story about the Toushi Guild.
Cooperation with the Jeonghwa Guild is essential for activities in Korea.
To put it simply, it can be said that domestic activities are difficult without permission from the Jeonghwa Guild.
In fact, in the original work, Jang Si-hwan intentionally competed with several Japanese guilds over cooperation.
Instead of cooperating, the goal was to maximize the reward.
At that time, I praised myself for using my brain very cleverly as the main character.
When I thought about it again from a position close to the Ricou guild, I thought it was really clever.
“okay.”
“Anyway, you were an important guest from the beginning, but now you have become an even more important guest.”
“Thank you in many ways.”
“you’re welcome. We are just making our own investments. “I just want you to know that I am sincere in all my investments.”
“of course.”
Ricou Guild is the guild that most actively recruits foreign hunters.
This is also the reason why Ricou Guild, which was originally outside of the top 3 in the Kansai region, rose to the number one position.
So this kind of behavior was not unfamiliar.
They must have judged the value of Kanghu’s product in advance and are making investments.
Some people call this a ‘foolish move’, but its current status proves that this is not wrong.
“This is the list of dungeons you requested. “Please confirm once again.”
Kang Hu, who received the document from Fumiya, looked through the contents.
It was the same as what we checked earlier.
In order to target farming during the dark ages, Ganghu intentionally listed the dungeons as undead-type dungeons.
They were all on standby so they could be attacked at any time. This means that no hunters went inside.
“Has confirmed. “You paid a lot of attention to it.”
“To be honest, it is also a dungeon that guild members are somewhat reluctant to play. “The undead are often wrong in their calculations.”
Fumiya is right.
It is due to the undead’s unique insensitivity and the castrated fear and fear bordering on ignorance.
So, if possible, I have no choice but to prefer going to a dungeon that goes as expected.
Right then.
Ahn Young-ho, who was next to him, apologized and answered the phone, then glanced at the faces of Kang-hoo and Fumiya.
If it had been a personal contact, there would have been no need to notice, but it seems there was related business.
As soon as Ahn Young-ho changed the call status to hold, Fumiya asked.
“What is this contact?”
“I received a call from Takashi.”
Kang Hu’s eyes sparkled.
He said that preliminary coordination with Takashi has already been completed. I don’t think there’s anything more to share about that.
Are you trying to cancel the meeting? Then, the plan to establish contact with Takashi becomes complicated.
I didn’t show it.
But I was very curious about what the call was about.
Soon, Ahn Young-ho and Fumiya had a conversation.
“What kind of contact is this?”
“I heard you’re at the training ground right now. “If you could see it, why not see it now?”
“now?”
“Your uncle. “I heard you already know that Brother Kang-hoo entered the country.”
“Have you hacked and viewed the airport CCTV? “It hasn’t been announced to the public.”
“Uncle, how should I answer?”
“I don’t think this is something you should ask me. How would you like to proceed, Kanghu?”
Fumiya asked Kanghu about his doctor.
In most cases, he is a strong man who always takes the lead in meetings, but this time was an exception.
It is right for a thirsty man to dig a well. And Takashi was well worth it.
Kanghu answered right away.
“If it’s okay, please go to a place where we can meet right away. “I can’t miss the opportunity to see someone precious.”
Fumiya and Youngho Ahn looked slightly shocked at Kanghu’s answer.
Since Kang-hu wanted to, we arranged a meeting and settled down.
But the perception of Takashi in Japan was really bad. It can be classified as something to be avoided.
Why does Kanghu really want to meet Takashi? No one could even guess what was going on.
Even Ahn Young-ho, who trusted and was grateful for everything about Kang-hoo, was the same.
* * *
The place where Takashi summoned Kanghu was the training ground.
Until his arrival, Kang Hu had thought of a training center built in a private mansion or villa like Kim Shin-ryeong.
Because that’s usually the case.
However, Takashi’s training ground was an abandoned factory.
It felt like seeing an abandoned factory just like the one that was targeted when attacking Jeon Jong-du’s Osho mercenary group.
Moreover, all the windows were blocked so that no one could see inside from the outside.
Special iron plates had been added to the inner windows, so it was essentially just a single wall.
“Isn’t this causing a disruption to your schedule?”
“no. For me and Youngho, today is a completely free day. “You don’t have to worry about it.”
Kanghu scratched the back of his head as he looked at the two people who had suddenly accompanied him to the meeting place with Takashi.
The two had to stop here, as Takashi had warned them not to approach anyone except those involved.
“Then I’ll be back.”
Kanghu began to move towards Takashi’s training ground with great strides.
The weeds around the abandoned factory, which had grown as tall as a person, and the roads were in disrepair, gave off a sense of shabbiness.
Since Takashi’s alter ego is moving, not his main body, he will have no choice but to become more indifferent.
Of course, Takashi himself – the main body – doesn’t have a particularly neat style, so the house would be a mess.
Judging from what was mentioned in the original work, it seems like going out to buy a bottle of water is too bothersome and is just holding back.
If you’re in a hurry, you’ll drink tap water. Also, you may be suffering from stomachache due to tap water that is not suitable for your body.
The moment you arrive at the 10m point in front of the iron gate that appears to be the main gate of the training ground.
chuck.
Ganghu stopped.
There were no warning signs or special signs, but Ganghu did not move any further.
“….”
Then, he stopped and began to look around the abandoned factory with a wide view.
Then, I felt that there were many detection barriers that were tightly designed so that no one could pass by.
It was invisible to the eye.
However, to Ganghu, who could sensitively sense the flow of mana, the flow felt like a visualization.
‘This damned hikikomori has been a joke since we first met.’
The character ‘My Cheon (川)’ was clearly stamped between Ganghu’s eyebrows.
