Episode 178 Takashi Akiyama (3)
– That’s enough. Let’s stop.
“yes?”
– We’re not fighting right now when we’re at eye level with each other. It means that I have seen enough skills.
Takashi announced his intention to stop in a calm voice.
From Ganghu’s perspective, the heat was just about to heat up, but Takashi seemed to have different thoughts.
I fully understand what you mean.
Judgment is over just because no results have been released so far.
No matter how low you put it, Takashi’s current level is at least over 550. It can’t be less than that.
However, in the beginning, Ganghu used soul waves to attack and create dangerous situations.
That would have been the end of his calculations. You don’t have to wait until the end to make a decision.
– But you know what?
“What do you mean?”
– When using shadow-related skills. There is a kuse. If you don’t fix that, it’ll be difficult.
“As expected…”
Kuse.
It’s about habits.
It was Ganghu who had been able to guess the location of the main body through the continued use of the Shadow Walk skill.
I thought it was just in case, but it was the same.
It seems like habits that we are never aware of are embedded in us somewhere.
Kanghu asked quietly.
“Can you tell me?”
– Let me emphasize that eating raw is not a very good idea.
Takashi’s reaction was blunt.
I didn’t expect it, but I got a Takashi-like reaction.
He really hates words like free riding on unearned income. I also hate people like that.
Kanghu didn’t say this to Takashi because he thought he would get an answer. I saw it stabbed.
However, since I have a perfectionist personality, it kept getting on my nerves. What part did you read?
‘If you’re unlucky, I’ll stop you.’
Kanghu bit his lip slightly.
I tried to make Takashi think of me, but this was going to end up being the same for both of us.
By intentionally creating an unresolved problem, Kanghu couldn’t take lightly his thoughts about Takashi.
Of course, it was true that Kanghu also gave Takashi the resonance of his thoughts.
The reason Takashi ended the practice battle without much reaction was because he recognized Kanghu’s skills.
If there were any questionable corners or parts I didn’t like, the test would have been much longer than it is now.
– I still wonder why you want to be close to me. A light contact would be okay.
Takashi spoke in an indifferent tone and held out a piece of paper taken from the clone’s body.
I thought it was trash because it was a crumpled piece of paper, but it had Takashi’s Huntergram security account name written on it.
In addition to the externally active account, there seemed to be a separate account for personal DM use.
Takashi continued.
– DM me. Let’s not cross the middle leg for no reason. Because it gets tiring when there are so many eyes looking at each other.
“good idea.”
Kang Hu, who handed over the paper, nodded.
It’s not that I don’t like the gaze of the Ricou Guild. There is just no need to join a guild for private meetings.
– Let’s go out. Because now it’s time to train.
“It was short but enjoyable.”
– Next time you see me, I hope you’ve found some answers about Kuse. It won’t be easy, right?
“If it’s okay then, please teach me a lesson. “I will do my best to crush Takashi.”
– You shouldn’t talk about impossible goals carelessly. Isn’t it important to live realistically?
“Heh.”
Kanghu left the abandoned factory, leaving behind Takashi’s words, which may have sounded aggressive depending on how he heard them.
Takashi’s words become tiring if you interpret them literally.
All you have to do is decide whether he talked to you or not. If it’s the former, it means you’re interested, if it’s the latter, it’s not.
So, Takashi’s reaction, as he continued to add words one after another, was 100 points according to Kanghu’s standards.
The face has definitely opened up.
Perhaps it won’t be that difficult to make plans for the next meeting. As long as you don’t scratch your insides for no reason.
Thus, the first wave was created in the heart of one of the members of the thirteen stars.
For Kang-hoo, it was the most important first step than ever before. The cracks start now.

“Uncle, why is Brother Kanghu interested in Takashi? “There are more reputable names, right?”
“I don’t think he wanted to meet me for no reason. However, as you said, Takashi’s reputation is not good.”
“That doesn’t mean you belong to a guild, does it? There are many privately owned dungeons, but…”
At that time, Ahn Young-ho was waiting for Kang-hu and talking with his uncle Fumiya Suzuki.
The topic was, of course, Ganghu.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t seem to understand why Kanghu actively wanted to meet Takashi.
Even Fumiya, who is usually good at reading people’s thoughts, couldn’t guess Kanghu’s thoughts this time.
Of course, Takashi’s public image is not good, but he is not an incapable hunter.
In fact, the abilities of his alter ego sometimes go far beyond the limits of the human body.
Because the very existence of an alter ego often results in ignoring the mechanics of the human body.
From the opposing party’s perspective, there are many instances where calculations go wrong. In other words, there were many variables.
“That’s it. “Don’t think about that any more and treat Kanghu with the utmost respect.”
“I understand, uncle.”
Fumiya cut out the topic of conversation that kept coming back and forth. Even if 3 people talk about it, you won’t know what’s going on.
Anyway, Takashi is only an observer of the Rikou Guild and is not a member of the guild.
Although it was possible to be curious about the relationship between Takashi and Kanghu, there was no need to develop it further than that.
“Korea’s Jeonghwa guild is structured around executives, so the influx of outside prospects is slow. “There are a lot of gaps.”
“Uncle, do you think that Brother Kanghu can also be recruited into the Ricou Guild?”
“However much. Moreover, we have many guild members from overseas, right? “It gets good reviews for its scalability.”
“I will do my best to support Brother Kanghu in everything he does.”
“But don’t lose your dignity.”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
Meanwhile, Kang-hoo, who had come out of the abandoned factory, joined the two people.
Fumiya and Youngho Ahn immediately guided Kanghu to the limousine without any questions.
This is because it is clearly not polite to ask various questions about the secret meeting I had with Takashi.
Kang-hoo was also able to read the consideration of these two people, and thanks to that, he was able to get into the limousine comfortably.
While heading to Ricou Tower, the core base of the Ricou Guild.
Ganghu was lost in thought in his seat where independence was guaranteed.
The more I tried to put it off, the more persistent the thought came to mind.
‘Shadow Walk plays a huge part in my attack repertoire. But I read it.’
It was a deep reflection on my own imperfection for the first time since being possessed in this world.
A natural assassin’s talent.
A constellation with the greatest ability.
In that harmony, I have grown perfectly and wonderfully so far.
However, a small crack appeared in the image of myself that I thought was like a flawless painting.
That was the habit Takashi mentioned this time.
Since my first meeting with him was a ‘mock battle’, today’s incident just turned out to be an accident.
What if you met Takashi on the battlefield? Today would have been the day to smell incense behind the folding screen.
There was a mixture of ironic feelings of regret and anticipation at the same time.
It’s unfortunate that it’s incomplete.
The fact that there are areas to fill in and grow gives us a lot of expectations.
For one reason or another, I kept thinking about Takashi. I hope he thinks the same way, but I don’t know if he will.
Meeting Takashi was a meaningful turning point for both him and Kanghu.
* * *
Afterwards, Kanghu arrived at Ricou Tower and followed Fumiya’s guidance to finally complete the dungeon strategy check.
All dungeons were undead monster type dungeons as Ganghu had requested, and the level was just right.
Kanghu rejected the team that Ricou Guild tried to support. To a large extent, it was because of my desire to play solo.
However, since he is an outsider and the Rikou Guild is currently in an all-out war with the Toushi Guild.
He requested that he focus all of his assigned capabilities on dungeon security.
No matter how good a dungeon you conquer, if you get left behind, it will be a perfect opportunity to die.
And I decided to go with Ahn Young-ho to just one dungeon where a healer is essential.
This was because I wanted to see Ahn Young-ho’s skills and also because there was a request from Fumiya. It was both a business and a business.
The dungeon raid was scheduled to be carried out by Ganghu alone starting tomorrow.
I was excited to see how much Dark Age farming would be possible.
Even if you can only raise Dark Age to 15 for each dungeon, you will have plenty left over.
after that.
Although Fumiya is his nephew, Ahn Young-ho is not qualified to be involved in core business within the guild.
And I asked Kanghu for a separate tea time. It was a signal that there was something he wanted to share closely.
I had a guess, but I wanted to have a conversation with Fumiya, regardless of what answer he would give.
Ricou Guild is a guild that has a tight grip on the Kansai area and will continue to maintain that position in the future.
Of course, they did not take hegemony over all of Japan.
However, just because they were the number one guild in the Kansai region with many talented players, their charm and future value were great.
Grumble.
The teacup is filled with fragrant tea.
The conversation took place in a much warmer atmosphere. The awkward feeling of our first meeting had disappeared quite a bit.
Fumiya spoke first.
“You have taken a big step to Japan this time. “I don’t know how many times Youngho talked about what happened that day.”
“I only helped because I thought I should help. “Youngho thought a lot about it.”
“You are my nephew’s benefactor. Furthermore, he is also a benefactor to me and my sister.”
“For me, it was a fate that led me to come to Japan, so I have new emotions.”
I meant it.
It was a moment when I realized once again the butterfly effect of relationships.
If there had been no connection with Ahn Young-ho, his actions would have been completely different even if he had come to Japan.
He may have been snooping around for a mercenary request and may have been pushed into some kind of difficult job.
This is because Japan is not much different from Korea, and there are more than one or two places where security is absent.
In particular, in Kyushu, so many guilds were competing that there was even talk of a new Warring States Period.
It was safe to describe it as a gigantic hell. Because it was a place where fierce battles took place, there was a lot of demand for mercenaries.
However, rather than creating a relationship in Japan in that way, he came as a valued guest of a stabilized guild.
So I couldn’t help but feel how powerful the power of fate was.
I feel the same way when I think of Jeong Yu-ri or Park Dong-jae. Thanks to them, a lot has changed.
at that time.
Fumiya, who drank a considerably larger amount of tea than before, took a sip and glanced at Kanghu’s eyes.
The look in your eyes as if you were trying to say something important. As Kang Hoo looked at him intently, Fumiya got straight to the point.
“Are you planning on having a guild limited to overseas activities?”
