The next day, the woman’s senior in charge asked,
“Did you have a good ti at the gallery yesterday?”
“Yes...?”
“Because your na was on the list.”
“Oh, yes.”
The woman nodded.
“It seems like you were severely beaten up at the initiation ceremony, but you had a good ti.”
“Huh? Initiation ceremony?”
The curator in charge tilted his head.
“What? You got on the elevator at 4:44?”
“...Yes, I’m sorry. I should have morized it properly....”
“Ah, don’t worry, I’m not saying anything.”
The curator in charge continued with a small smile.
“I’m the curator assigned to the first floor. I asked the people who were working overti yesterday, and they said they didn’t really get it out. They also said they didn’t press the rescue request button.”
“Ah....”
“I didn’t hear that you were found breathing in the elevator this morning, so I guess soone on another floor pulled you out. What floor curator were you? I should be grateful.”
“Uh, you were on the 5th floor. Thanks to you, I got to see the most dangerous gallery.”
“...5th floor?”
“...Yes? Yes.”
“.......”
The curator in charge had a faint smile on his face, as if he were a smiling rchant, but his reaction was strange.
The curator in charge said to the woman who was waiting for an answer, looking around.
“But do you know that?”
“What, what?”
“There was no curator who worked overti on the 5th floor yesterday.”
“.......”
I got goosebumps.
“...Yes?”
“Oh, kidding, kidding!”
A refreshing laugh. The curator in charge laughed with a face full of laughter.
“If you want to survive in this gallery, you have to know how to take a joke like this.”
“...No, joking...right?”
“No, to be honest, your na wasn’t on the attendance list?”
“Then it’s not a joke...!”
“But there’s soone in our guild who walks around without his na on the list.”
“...Ah....”
“Didn’t you hear from Yoo Seong-woon yesterday? He said he told you sothing?”
The woman nodded.
“I, I heard. Sergio.”
“Yes, Sergio.”
The curator in charge grinned.
“Wow, you’re lucky. I heard Sergio hasn’t been seen much lately.”
“Oh... You don’t co out often? Isn’t he a curator?”
“He’s not a curator, but you can think of him as a special force for our guild.”
“I heard from Yoo Seong-woon... So you don’t have a set job?”
“The most important job of the guild mbers who collect is the guild leader’s collection.”
“...Why all of a sudden?”
“First of all, Sergio, you’re doing your job as a collectible.”
“...That, is that okay? Isn’t it a bit too much to eat...?”
“Actually.”
The curator whispered, lowering her voice as if she was trying to hide it.
“There’s a story that he’s a hidden S-class hunter.”
“...S, S-class? One of the few in the country...?”
“He’s lying and saying he’s an A-class because he hates being noisy.”
“Isn’t that illegal??”
“Hey, why bother with that? This is a collectible.”
“Uh...uh, uh...uh....”
“Our guild leader can do this much for the mbers of the guild. Doesn’t that make you feel a sense of pride?”
The curator shrugged. She pointed to the stuffed rabbit doll she was in charge of.
“Co on, pat our caregiver’s head. It’s so fluffy and cute.”
“...Is it okay to pat it like this?”
“Yes, you did a great job. If you do this, there’s a very low chance that it’ll give you a piece.”
“You said that’s like a gift that the artwork gives you?”
“Sotis it’s a curse... but the caregiver is a gentle artwork, so that won’t happen. Yes, it’s a gift.”
“What kind of gift does this doll give you?”
“Oh, a doll for the caregiver? Please be careful what you say.”
“Oh, yes. What kind of gifts does the caregiver give you?”
“They give you flowers that sll good, or a sewing kit that can fix any clothes.”
“Oh....”
“Isn’t it cute?”
“It’s cute.”
After a brief education, the curator returned to the topic from earlier.
“Oh, Sergio opened the door for our junior. That’s surprising.”
“But he’s the sa employee, so what’s surprising about that...?”
“Employees are employees. Sergio doesn’t like crowds, so he usually hangs out at dawn when there are no people.”
“But he’s really kind.”
“.......”
The curator asked back.
“Was he kind?”
“Yes? Oh, yes, yes. He was really kind.”
“Um... Mr. Geo, he’s a really handso guy, isn’t he?”
“Ah....”
The woman nodded.
“Now that I think about it, that’s true. He was really handso.”
It felt a little strange.
“I guess I was so surprised and scared at dawn that I didn’t even think he was handso.”
“Everyone who ets Sergio says that. They think he’s handso later.”
The curator’s eyes sparkled.
“But how handso is he? I haven’t even seen his face, but why do you say he’s a statuesque handso man with blond hair and blue eyes? He looks like he slls like sunshine.”
“You described him in such detail, even though you haven’t even seen his face... I think that’s right. He must have so Western blood, because his nose is really high. His eyes are also big.”
“Oh....”
The curator, who was impressed, muttered softly.
“Is that how you are these days?”
“......?”
“Hmm, not bad.”
“...No matter how handso you are, it’s hard to judge soone like that....”
“Oh my, am I that rude?”
The curator laughed heartily.
“I heard that Geo sotis gets gloomy.”
“...I can’t imagine that at all.”
“He has such a heavy aura, many people say he’s scary.”
“Ah... definitely....”
He was soone who matched well with the all-white gallery, but he had a strange feeling.
“...Is it because he’s so handso? He seed like he wasn’t from this world. He felt distant.”
“Mr. Geo is so friendly, but why are the reactions like this?”
“I know you were kind to . He even gave chocolate so I wouldn’t have to go the other way because I was tired.”
“Yes, yes. That’s Mr. Geo. He carries snacks in his pocket like a squirrel.”
“Squirrel....”
“You think it doesn’t suit you.”
The curator, who had placed a pink bag in the hands of the fluffy stuffed animal, asked.
“What did it feel like?”
“.......”
“A guy nad Sergio.”
Unlike before, his voice was a little lower in tone, and the woman thought of the man she had seen at dawn.
“...It’s strange, but the first thing that ca to mind was that he was perfect.”
The mont he ca into view, the world felt full.
Just as it is hard to disparage the sunlight shining down on a spring day, and as it is impossible to find fault with the cool waves of sumr. It was the sa feeling as when you just absentmindedly listen to a lullaby sung by a mother of a child or a superstition passed down from generation to generation in a village.
You can find faults if you want, and you can criticize if you want, but you don’t necessarily feel like doing so. Even if you tear the leather, bleed, or have any kind of blemish, you can call it complete. A being that makes you think you are simply observing the flow of history.
It ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) was a presence that made you feel rich and tight just by itself.
“It must be a bit strange to think that way the mont you t ?”
“...I think it could be like that if you first saw soone of S-class rank.”
“If I’m not weird, then that’s fortunate.”
He laughed awkwardly and continued.
“His speech was a bit unusual. Should I say it was old-fashioned? Or should I say it was elegant... Honestly, he spoke so politely that it was a bit difficult to handle.”
Sergio’s speech was a bit choppy.
“Should I say it was like soone who had a bad translation machine? It’s not like I thought it was strange, but I was a little scared because I was so scared.”
“Well... he really could be a Western hunter. It’s clear that he has strong blood from that side, right? We don’t know exactly where the guild leader recruited him.”
“Then maybe he’s not used to speaking Korean yet. But it’s not like it’s really strange, but rather he suits well... That’s a little...”
It was scary.
“Is it because he’s so handso that he doesn’t look like a human?”
I felt a sense of discomfort sowhere.
“Yes, well. That’s what happened.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Just... that he’s incredibly friendly?”
But I felt distant in that part too. Sothing was strange.
“A favor is a favor, but rather than treating well out of personal feelings....”
“What? What? You wanted to develop a personal relationship?”
“No, that’s not what I ant. You know that.”
“If favor isn’t a personal feeling, then what is?”
“...That’s right?”
I realized that I was strange even after saying that.
“Oh, what I ant was, of course I didn’t an that it was hypocritical or that the favor he showed was fake. Really.”
“I didn’t understand it that way.”
“What I was trying to say was... The favor Sergio shows is not like a person who is a bit detached, um... It’s not like it’s sothing you give and receive normally... This is....”
It’s really strange, but.
“It just seed like a favor I gave because I’m human.”
A favor given without any conditions, just because I was born human.
So it felt like indifference... .
“...No, it’s not that I felt bad. Rather, I think it was good. I think it was the first ti I t soone who showed kindness without any consideration, so I was embarrassed....”
I felt embarrassed because I felt like I had received sothing so huge without doing anything.
“Sergio, you’re a first-class citizen, right? Oh, did I ask sothing too obvious?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I think so.”
“Sohow, I felt a sense of dignity in his actions. It didn’t feel Korean, but....”
There was an atmosphere that made naturally admire him.
“He was very relaxed, but his words and actions had a sense of weight. He definitely didn’t have a friendly vibe, but I could definitely tell that he was sociable. He also had a mysterious feeling, like a prince in a fairy tale.”
The curator in charge smiled sinisterly at the woman’s words.
“Oh, honey. Are you going to confess to ?”
“...You asked for a review, didn’t you...?”
“I’m going to go that far, I didn’t expect that.”
The curator smiled cheerfully.
“Anyway, I’m glad that you’re doing well, my junior.”
“Can I consider this as a possibility of becoming a regular employee...?”
“The gallery is so short on manpower that if there’s no major incident, you’ll be confird as a regular employee.”
“That would be really great, but I’m worried because I have many shortcomings.”
“What are you worried about? You’re the one who talked well in front of Mr. Sergio.”
“Oh... Is that how the standard is asured?”
“People must be really creepy.”
The curator smiled with wide eyes.
“Get along well, with your staff....”
“... ....”
“With your artwork.”
It was a tone that had a strange resonance.
‘... Ah.’
The woman suddenly rembered that the curator Yoo Seong-un she had seen yesterday had the sa smile.
Those eyes, strangely curved, with emotions that could be either good or bad.
“.......”
Then she realized that the curators here had a similar atmosphere to the gallery.
“...I will work hard.”
Should I call it mysterious or bizarre?
She wasn’t sure.
“Honey.”
“Kur.”
“Dad, I gained confidence.”
The problem with the haunted portrait was the resolution. If you go beyond the fra while it’s a portrait, there’s a resolution problem, and people complain about the burden of recognizing it.
And now that I’ve completely beco one with ‘Giovanni’, who had solved that problem up until now. I wondered, ‘Will I still be able to walk around without any resolution problems?’ and went outside...
“I had a conversation with the staff without any friction.”
I was so touched that I even gave him the chocolate I had been saving up like pocket money.
After giving it to him, I thought, ‘Huh? If I do this, won’t they find out that Black Cloak and I are the sa person?’ but I brushed it off. Geo, who grew up receiving plenty of the clear energy of the Gangwon-do mountains, didn’t know how to think deeply.
“I wish I could make a new friend like this.”
“Kurur.”
“My own pen pal....”
“...Kkuk.”
Honey didn’t tackle him because he looked quite happy.
