Outside the guildmaster’s office, Groo and Dan exchanged a glance.
Inside, Joorim was on the phone with the Minister of Defense.
“It’s fine. We’ll be ready in time. Yes.”
The Minister himself was involved now.
No, it was an international affair at this point.
Joorim tapped a gift from the President’s office with a long finger.
As the call drew to a close, Dan gave Groo a look—Are you ready? Groo nodded back.
Summoned to the guildmaster’s office, both braced themselves.
From past experience, no matter how well things turned out, if an event caused too much of a stir, punishment usually followed.
Dan flung open the door and entered; Groo clunked awkwardly in after him, like a wind-up toy.
Joorim, setting down the receiver, looked in confusion at the dejected children.
As if it was routine, they both knelt down side by side in front of the desk.
Joorim tilted his head.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Uh…”
Dan let out a gloomy noise and hesitantly bowed his head to the floor.
Joorim frowned.
“…!”
Groo, copying Dan’s example, promptly knocked his head down as well.
Joorim quickly slipped his hand under Groo’s forehead before it hit the floor.
“Who told you to do that?!”
“Heung.”
Groo, chin tucked in, looked up at Joorim with big, round eyes.
Dan appeared just as dispirited.
Joorim sighed at the two sniffling kids, then, looking reluctant, managed to praise them.
“Good job.”
“Huh?”
“Wha—?”
Honestly, he’d prefer they did nothing at all.
Joorim had always known that someday Groo, as Japso, would encounter the other guild members.
Given how often that bear suit wandered the building, it was a wonder they hadn’t been discovered sooner.
That was partly why he’d openly said Japso was with Hyeonak.
‘Never imagined he’d enjoy Hunter life this much, though.’
Things had escalated, but it hadn’t been long since he’d promised to support Groo’s Hunter activities.
And if Groo was accepted as a guild member, this was certainly a net positive.
Praise was due where it was earned.
“Is the chick all right?”
Groo, as if not quite believing the compliment, asked for confirmation.
“Uh…”
Joorim searched for words that would sound good to this posturing five-year-old.
“Yes, it was impressive.”
Thump—!
Groo clapped both hands over his mouth, eyes sparkling.
‘He—he said it was impressive!’
Dad said Groo was cool!
Ba-dump, ba-dump! His heart pounded wildly.
‘He praised me! He said Groo’s awesome!’
It felt like fireworks bursting in his chest.
“So you don’t have to do this, all right?”
Joorim lightly flicked Groo’s little forehead as the boy was about to press it to the floor again.
Groo, grinning sheepishly, rubbed his brow.
“But last time, you got mad at me…”
“That was for running off to a dungeon without telling anyone. It was dangerous.”
Remembering when Groo and Dan had gone to confront the S-Class monster Malikian on their own, Joorim’s brow furrowed.
“You did something wrong then, didn’t you?”
“…!”
At Joorim’s sharp gaze, Groo replied on instinct.
“Y-yeah, I was wrong…”
“Don’t do that again.”
“O-kay…”
Groo fluffed out his cheeks sulkily after his halfhearted reply.
Scolded again! Too much!
‘The fireworks are all gone.’
He’d been all bubbly just a moment ago.
Groo glared rebelliously, eyes curving into half moons, lips stuck out in a pout.
“You said Groo was cool, but now you’re scolding me again. It’s not fair.”
Joorim chuckled softly and picked Groo up.
“You did well, you did well.”
“All you ever do is scold me…”
“No, I don’t. When?”
“I did good, I did bad.”
“You did wrong, that time.”
“From now on, you gotta praise Groo a lot.”
“All right.”
“Mm.”
As Joorim soothed the grumbling Groo, he glared over at Dan.
“Stop laughing.”
“Yes, sir.”
Dan mimed zipping his lips, prompting Joorim to throw the chick drone his way.
Dan caught it in both hands, blinking in confusion.
“Why are you giving this to me…?”
“Go to the Defense Ministry and film a demonstration. Everything’s set up—you just have to go.”
“Oh!”
Great news for Groo; for Dan, it sounded like a thunderbolt.
“Huh?!”
“You started it.”
“No, Groo came over and Yumin-noona just dragged him off and made me try it…”
Joorim checked his watch.
“That’s enough talk. Groo needs to eat dinner.”
“Ah—!”
[Lee Soyeon in China: ‘Korea’s Hype Is Embarrassing—Nothing Is Proven Until the Official Test…’]
[Chinese side’s Lee Soyeon: ‘Don’t confuse a railgun with a coil gun… Korea doesn’t have that technology yet.’]
Curious yet wary eyes turned from around the world, but most of all Lee Soyeon—now in China—continued to issue new statements almost daily.
She doubted the authenticity of the footage, saying only a formal demonstration would convince her; as soon as a date was set, she dismissed it as likely a coil gun, not a railgun.
Though the mechanisms were similar, the difference in power between a coil gun and a railgun was night and day.
In any case, such petty criticism and wariness only underscored both China’s lack of confidence and the hard truth that Korean technology remained formidable—and, if anything, was poised to soar still higher.
She hadn’t even settled in yet, but she couldn’t afford to get pushed aside.
Thus, the day of the demonstration drew ever closer.
