Agent Haegeum, who had been watching the scene quietly, smiled and touched the hilt of the Four-Tiger Evil-Slaying Sword.
“Right. So at the very least, you can throw a few punches if it cos to that. By borrowing the strength of another supernatural being, that is. They even nded your uniform, didn’t they?”
I glanced down at my arm. A patch-like layer of silver thread had been sewn over it.
The ripped zipper on my Security Team uniform had already been repaired by the ti I ca to.
Soone from the Baridegi Workshop must have co and stitched it up.
‘I do feel so strange aura from it, though.’
I’ll have to check it later. Anyway…
Gratitude for the proposal
: Considering acceptance
That’s a lie.
“Of course. It’s an honor, Mr. Mascot.”
I was grateful. Even if it was a suggestion made without knowing that I used to be a corporate spy as Agent Grapes.
Of course, it’s not a situation where I can actually accept it.
‘Still, I do want to leave sothing behind to help.’
After thinking for a mont, I slightly unzipped my sleeve and slipped my hand inside.
Into the inventory tattoo.
Of course, to the other person, it must have looked like I was suddenly shoving my hand into my own body.
“…!”
‘This connects to the resort.’
And now, to the lodge keeper who had beco its manager as well.
‘When I called Jang Heowoon, I could feel that the decision was passed on to the manager.’
If that’s the case, then this should work too.
I sent a few signals, instructing the manager to place several items from the resort into the space linked to the tattoo…
Of course, the resort itself isn’t a sacred site.
So I ordered things that wouldn’t spread contamination on their own, wouldn’t suddenly pull anyone into the resort, and were safe while still within my control.
I withdrew my hand from the tattoo on my arm.
In the black-gloved palm, colorful plastic circles shimred.
“Those are…”
Cheerful Coins.
Compensation for treatnt and accommodation
Recipient : Disaster Managent Bureau and Agent Haegeum
“…!”
I poured the coins in front of Agent Haegeum, beyond the sliding door.
She shot to her feet.
Usage :
Resort lodging
The park souvenir shop
The park restaurants (Not Recomnded)
‘With these, they should be usable even within the bureau.’
Since people occasionally fall into the resort and agents co to rescue them, there must be other entry routes connected to the the park.
If they have Cheerful Coins, it’ll make the agents’ movents much easier.
And within my domain, the souvenir shop mainly sells items that are relatively safe even for humans, so they could purchase and use them.
This quantity isn’t enough to harm the resort’s operation, so there’s no reason for refusal either.
Compensation item : Cheerful Coin ×30
Caution : May cause mild contamination symptoms upon possession. Recomnded to store in isolation.
“No…”
Oho, please, just take them.
I felt like a humble citizen handing over a bribe as I slipped the Cheerful Coins to the agent.
‘This should count as so kind of repaynt, right.’
Once the dokkaebi fla returned to its lantern, I quietly nodded to myself as I watched Agent Haegeum carrying the lantern and the pile of coins away.
Vaguely thinking that this settled the accounts between us.
……But that was only my assumption.
Starting the very next day, all sorts of items from the Disaster Managent Bureau began arriving before as offerings.
‘…?!’
And then I realized.
‘…They’ve confird my usefulness!’
If the agents who entered the the park testified to the effectiveness of the Cheerful Coins, then now they were trying to figure out how to use .
To exchange for the Cheerful Coins in the most effective way possible!
Rejection
Recomndation : Give it to a child
Today marked the third rejection. I reluctantly refused a basket full of children’s toys.
‘Is it because they think I’m a ghost story that governs an amusent park…’
They kept offering various amusent park-related items. Or sotis resort-related ones.
Incidentally, during all this, the dokkaebi fla was permanently assigned to . I heard it insisted quite strongly on it itself.
I was grateful, but at the sa ti I was beginning to regret having given away so many Cheerful Coins in return.
‘What if they start introducing to more supernatural beings as ‘friends’…!’
Just as I was worrying that they might even be dragging in Jang Heowoon-ssi to conduct interviews, when he’s still supposed to be undergoing contamination treatnt.
Things inevitably reached this point.
“They said this ca from your resort. Is that true?”
……
……!
“Looks like it is.”
Through the sliding door, I saw what was sitting in the basket.
A pink body, round pebble-like black eyes. A plush rabbit doll, clean and soft, as if well cared for…
‘Good Friend…!’
W-Why on earth is that here?
And then—
[Friend! I have returned.]
‘…?!’
Wait.
‘Braun?’
[Who else would it be! Oh, at last we et not as a cheap piece of rchandise, but in this splendid body that you yourself chose, Mr. Roe Deer.]
[Behold this silhouette, and look. Inside this belly is even the coin you once used!]
I was dumbfounded.
As I clumsily lifted the plushie from the basket with both hands, I realized.
‘Don’t tell … this was what all of this was for?’
