The short but eventful trip to Arica had ended.
Kim Chae-eun, as if trying to make the most of her remaining ti, poured out all the travel plans she had prepared in advance.
Starting with the performance and cruise date recomnded by Camilla, visiting various famous places and restaurants in New York, going to the Holders’ date dungeon in New York, and so on…
They definitely filled up the ti they had lacked together until now.
Especially on the night before returning to Seoul.
The line Kim Chae-eun delivered at the last hotel was the highlight.
“Hehe. Welco, Jae-hyun. Do you want to take a bath first? Or have a al? Or…”
Seeing her finally use her finishing move, I surrendered without resistance.
The colorful New York trip, its end was sohow both dazzling and passionate.
Back in Seoul like that.
I was at the clan tower of for the first ti in a while.
As I entered the master room, the familiar secretary team leader spoke in a businesslike manner.
“I see, it’s the master.”
“It’s been a while, Hye-young. Have you been well?”
“We’re always the sa. However, master’s face looks quite tired.”
“…I have a girlfriend who used her finishing move.”
After being tornted several tis last night, the fatigue remained on my face.
From now on, I will never fall for that line again.
Making this small resolution, I sat down in the central seat of the master room and received a brief report on the clan situation from the secretary team leader.
“While the master was away, the scout team moved quite busily.”
“Ah, right. We had recruitnt plans.”
While progressing through the , I keenly felt that the number of clan mbers was insufficient.
So as soon as the conquest was over, I imdiately declared reinforcent.
However, we didn’t just accept anyone, but aid to recruit capable and skilled Holders under the strict selection of the scout team.
“This is the report recorded by Scout Team Leader Yoon Jae-ho and Vice Master Yoo Eun-seol. Both of them gave evaluations strongly recomnding the recruitnt of three student Holders.”
And among them, the representative figures were the ‘Freshman Trio’.
First-year Holders Song Hyun-a, Park Yoon-seo, and Choi Arin.
I had entrusted clan mbers with recruitnt proposals and simple tests, and it seems that the Master had helped and given positive evaluations.
‘Bringing in Choi Arin is definitely good.’
In fact, Choi Arin was a character who grew into one of the best in the special category along with Choi Yoo-min in the original work, but I had postponed recruitnt considering that she was still a young student.
However, that thought completely changed after the previous [Remote Magic Compass].
She was already an alchemist with fully blood talent.
It would be a huge loss to leave her just as a student, who could create incredibly helpful magical tools for the clan.
Therefore, I had asked Yoon Jae-ho, the scout team leader, to prioritize her recruitnt.
Of course, Song Hyun-a and Park Yoon-seo were also promising talents with the highest potential in their respective categories, but due to the characteristics of the special category with high scarcity, their priority had to be slightly lower.
Anyway, it was positive news that the recruitnt of these three promising individuals was within reach.
“But can we really recruit Holder Song Hyun-a? I think there might be so talk from Dragon Sword.”
Song Hyun-a, the younger sister of Song Do-hyuk, the master of the clan.
While her skills were undoubtedly excellent, trying to recruit her could cause a big backlash from the friendly clan .
I had doubts about this point when first making the recruitnt plan, but approved it based on Team Leader Yoon Jae-ho’s assurance that it would be fine.
“Holder Song Hyun-a reportedly showed the most active willingness after receiving the recruitnt offer.”
“…Really?”
That’s unexpected news.
Song Hyun-a’s personality was quite blunt and rigid.
As soone born into a prestigious family, she was a woman who valued etiquette, and was famous for not even mixing words with her classmates except for the trio she hung out with.
It was a bit strange that such a person would show active interest in a particular clan.
‘…Co to think of it, she was unusually friendly to last ti too.’
Thinking about it, she had shown a friendly attitude towards in the as well, and had even expressed her gratitude for saving Choi Arin.
“She had declared several tis that she had no intention of joining the Dragon Sword clan from the mont she beca a Holder.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. She said she wanted to prove herself in a place other than her family clan. So you don’t need to worry about friction with the Dragon Sword clan.”
In other words, the recruitnt of the Freshman Trio is successful.
I felt relieved at those words from Secretary Team Leader Lim Hye-young.
I had been a bit worried when planning because it seed like we were trying to bring in too famous and capable promising talents, but it looked like we could proceed without any problems.
“The master’s approval is needed for the final recruitnt confirmation.”
“Ah, give it to . I’ll stamp it right away.”
I imdiately signed the contract handed over by Lim Hye-young and then continued speaking.
“Set up a eting with the three of them soti. I should have a talk with them over a al or sothing before they join the clan.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Ah. Should we just et today or tomorrow? I wonder if the juniors will be available.”
The sooner the better for joining.
I wanted to set up a schedule quickly as I had many things I wanted to discuss with these good talents.
However, Lim Hye-young shook her head as if it was out of the question.
“That won’t work.”
“Right? No matter what, they’ll all have their own schedules, so suddenly asking to et today-“
“It’s not that, the master’s schedule doesn’t allow it. You have to leave Seoul today.”
“…What?”
What kind of bolt from the blue is this?
It hasn’t even been a full day since I returned to Seoul?
Lim Hye-young simply handed a schedule.
“You seem to have forgotten. Master, you have a 5-day European trip scheduled from today with the two madams. Since you ntioned last ti that you had a personal conquest schedule in Europe, we moved up the travel schedule with the madams to minimize empty ti as much as possible. Both of them have approved this.”
“Ma…dams?”
I asked back, feeling like it wasn’t a word I should be hearing, but Lim Hye-young said without changing her expression.
“I’m referring to Holder Kang Juyeon and Holder Moon Ga-eun… Is there any problem?”

…And so I ended up on a European trip with the madams.
“Ahaha. Sister Hye-young is really funny. We never told her to call us that. Really.”
In a hotel room in Paris.
Moon Ga-eun laughed for a while after hearing my story while casually unpacking.
Kang Juyeon, who had beco more expressive lately, also swallowed her laughter bit by bit next to her.
The word ‘madam’ that Secretary Team Leader Lim Hye-young had used seed to be that funny to them.
“I didn’t know my schedule was set up like this on its own.”
Of course, I had left the travel plans to Moon Ga-eun and Kang Juyeon.
Just like I had entrusted the New York travel plans to Kim Chae-eun, I wanted to let the two lovers do everything they wanted on the European trip as well.
It’s just that the schedule was set so quickly that I ended up on another trip before I could even recover from the previous one.
“Ahaha. Sorry, sorry.”
When I lanted with a dejected face, Moon Ga-eun hugged from behind and pressed her cheek against mine.
Kang Juyeon also quickly leaned her face against my empty waist.
“We coordinated the schedule with Sister Hye-young in advance because we were worried you might be busy, but we didn’t know the news would be delivered so late.”
“…Jae-hyun is too busy.”
“Right. I was surprised when I saw you made a friendly agreent with Wings of Freedom.”
The events that happened in Arica in a short ti.
Suppression of the arena terror attack.
Friendly agreent with .
Due to these major events happening one after another, our clan and my dedicated secretary team were bombarded with calls.
…I don’t know why they’re tornting the already busy secretary team like that.
“And you said you had scheduled a personal dungeon conquest in Europe. So we deliberately matched it with that ti.”
“…That was well done.”
I nod at Moon Ga-eun’s additional words.
In fact, the European schedule wasn’t just about travel.
The conquest I had previously promised with the contractor, Ripley.
Since I learned through Ripley that the dungeon was in ‘England’, I was planning to do the conquest along with this trip.
Above all, the information I learned while catching Caroline in New York.
The correlation between vampires and Tern and Ludenark…
I needed to hurry the conquest to find clues about that as well.
“Jae-hyun. But Beltane? Who are you going to conquer it with? From what I’ve heard, it seems like a dungeon you need to go as a clan.”
Suddenly, Moon Ga-eun asks curiously, pulling her face away.
The land of vampires, .
As you can tell from its na and reputation, it’s a dungeon that can’t even be attempted by an average level conquest team.
It was clear that powerful monsters and various magic traps would be swarming to a degree comparable to the .
But I had already made my decision.
“I’m going alone this ti.”
“Eh? Really?”
“……?”
Moon Ga-eun is surprised and Kang Juyeon’s eyes widen.
High-ranking Holders confident in their skills often do solo plays when conquering dungeons, but that’s only for dungeons below a certain level.
From mid-high level dungeons, most Holders attempt conquests by forming ‘parties’ or ‘raid groups’.
That’s because there are difficulties in terms of conquest difficulty and efficiency when going solo.
I also can’t rember when was the last ti I did a solo play.
Was it …?
“Yeah. I think I’ll probably go alone for this dungeon.”
But for this dungeon, I’m going alone without any other party mbers.
On my face as I say this…
There was an inexplicable certainty.
