Ryu Jinmu's secretary, Shin Moon, observed her guildmaster's reaction before speaking.
"Hmm, how about putting up with it just this once? I heard Hunter Baek Haemin has been quiet these past few days, so he might have calmed down now?"
Everyone knows about Baek Haemin's obsession over Ryu Jinmu, and how he does all sorts of things to try to get close to him. After all, he was very aggressive about how he was pursuing their guildmaster.
There hasn't been any noise from Blackmane Guild recently though. Usually, there would be reports on how he's causing yet another bit of trouble again, but none of it has happened so far. Perhaps his feelings have died down?
Shin Moon understands her guildmaster's hesitation but she thought it might not be bad to try and voice her suggestion out.
Ryu Jinmu narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"Just this once? You have no idea how many times I've dealt with him already. If it wasn't for that damned brother of his, I would have already killed that bastard long ago."
His secretary sighed,
"What should we do, then? Are you saying we should let the team suffer avoidable damages in the dungeon?"
"Shin Moon-ah, don't put words in my mouth."
The way she phrased her words didn't sit well with Ryu Jinmu, but his secretary only shrugged her shoulders at him. She prefers to handle things in a practical way, and this is the best way to do it.
Jinmu tapped the corner of his desk twice, and stood up.
"Tell team 2 to prepare. I'll visit the Blackmane Guild tomorrow."
Shin Moon bowed her head.
"Yes, sir."
***
Three days after Baek Haemin told the servants not to wear masks, he noticed a positive change in the manor's atmosphere.
Before, if he even started to smile at them, they wouldn't hesitate to bow their heads and avoid him completely for the rest of the day. But now, though they still find it uncomfortable to be friendly to their young master, they can now smile and greet him with more ease than before.
They still find it difficult to look him in the eye for more than a few seconds, but their opinions about him were slowly starting to get better. It made them think that their young master might not be as hopeless as they first thought.
This, in turn, made Baek Haemin's adjustments to his new life easier.
Well, even though they seemed to be a bit scared, I noticed everyone is actually nice to Baek Haemin. What a relief. Is Baek Raehwan surprisingly a good employer? That might be the reason why they're polite to Haemin, his brother.
Han Jiwon, who appeared to be in a good mood after being freed from wearing the dreaded black mask, poured a mango juice in her young master's glass while he sat reading articles about hunters and dungeons.
Little by little, he's getting used to having someone do menial tasks for him. He was worried at first, but once he accepted that's how it works in the manor, he couldn't help but give in.
I mean, who am I to stop them from treating me well, right? I'm just a human, after all.
He noticed Jiwon taking clothes from the wardrobe.
"What's that for?"
"Sir? Oh, have you forgotten? Today is the 10th day."
Jiwon tilted her head.
10th day? What? Am I supposed to keep track of days now? For what?
He asked her,
"10th day?"
His look of confusion made Jiwon panic.
"I, it's the day you have to go visit the guild, young master. Have you forgotten? It got paused for a while, but you told Raehwan-nim you'd be back on duty ten days after the party."
"Party…?"
"Yes, sir. The party hosted by the Silver Talon Guild at the hotel that night…"
She picked three options for Baek Haemin to choose.
Party? Ah! Don't tell me it was that time when I first got into this world? When I woke up naked with… ahem, Ryu Jinmu, huh? If I remember correctly, isn't Silver Talon one of the top 5 guilds? So it's a party hosted by one of them…
Wait, doesn't visiting the guild mean going to the place where Baek Raehwan is? That's where he is, right? He hasn't been home all this time, so he must have been staying there. Dammit. I'm not ready yet.
Haemin flashed a bright smile at Jiwon,
"Is that so? Can I not go?"
"Eh? I don't know how Raehwan-nim would feel about that… After all, that's the setup between you two for years now."
Jiwon stroked her cheeks, not sure how to respond.
"Ah… I see."
He took a sip on the mango juice, trying to hide his flustered expression.
What's the setup between these brothers? Why? How come I didn't see any message between them about this?! Why is it not in the novel?! No, maybe it's there, but I just don't remember? No, Baek Haemin was already dead whenever he's mentioned.
Should I go? I mean, she said visiting. Right? So I don't have to do anything? Should I ask? How? Think, Baek Seungho! How can I ask her without letting out my ignorance?!
Just when Baek Haemin's mind started running a hundred miles an hour, he suddenly heard a familiar sound.
Ding!
[System:
Answer. How about, "Can you tell me about my itinerary?"?]
The transparent screen appeared.
That's it! Wait, why are you showing up now?
Haemin coughed lightly,
"Jiwon-ah, can you tell me about my itinerary before I go?"
"Yes, sir. As usual, you will visit the Hunter's Aid first to see patients. After that, you go to the Auxiliary Commission Center to check on recent commissions."
Jiwon's face beamed, explaining it the best she could to her young master.
"By checking commissions, you mean…?"
Jiwon's smile widened,
"Yes, Haemin-nim has to finish a commission at least once every other month. That's according to the agreement between Raehwan-nim and Haemin-nim."
Damn. I have to work? I thought this brat is just a rich bum. Tsk.
Sweat formed through Haemin's forehead. He did not expect it. He really did not expect that at all. Perhaps he underestimated the original owner of his new body, but to think he's actually a proper member of society…
He nodded his head and stood up, preparing to take a bath.
"Okay, I'll get ready."
