Chapter 98
“Lay it out, lay it out!”
Yoo-eul came out to the outdoor table, holding a huge pot in her arms and shouting.
Yoo-chan quickly moved the curry pot out of the way to make space for it.
Inside the pot—wow. She must’ve cooked five whole packs of ramen. The amount was enormous.
The spicy smell was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.
“Hey, aren’t you guys full?”
“Even if we’re full, we need dessert! That’s the Korean spirit, you know?”
“The spirit isn’t for stuff like that. Put it away.”
“Oh, really?”
I shook my head as I watched the three high schoolers rush in as if the barbecue hadn’t even happened.
Then Lim Cheong-su suddenly shouted,
“Wait! Hold on! Photos! Photos first!”
He took several shots of the ramen and the twins—just ordinary pictures, nothing special.
“What are you even going to do with those?”
“Post them on Stargram.”
“Stargram? You made an account?”
“The kids at school kept asking, so yeah. But it’s actually pretty fun.”
And from the look of it, he really meant it. Even with ramen in front of him, he kept fiddling with his phone—picking the best shots, tagging the twin siblings.
You’d never guess this kid only got his first phone when we came up to Seoul.
Kids really do learn fast.
But something else was even faster.
“Huh? Where’d all the ramen go?”
“Right here~.”
“Ugh, close your mouth! Gross!”
“Hehehehe.”
Yoo-eul had already devoured most of the ramen and was now laughing at Lim Cheong-su, clutching her stomach.
Eventually, the trio dashed back to the kitchen to cook more ramen. Meanwhile, I pulled out my phone and downloaded the Stargram app.
I searched for Lim Cheong-su’s account, which I’d just seen earlier.
“Wow, he’s got a lot of followers already.”
It couldn’t have been long since he made it, but he already had over 30,000 followers.
Then I checked who he was following.
Mostly students from the Awakener Academy, including Yoo-chan and Yoo-eul.
“Oh? Forty thousand?”
Turns out these kids were popular.
Well, it made sense.
In this world, Hunters were more popular than celebrities—and these kids were from the Justice Guild, which, while small, had a solid reputation.
Besides, the Justice Guild didn’t even have an official account.
So anyone curious about the guild’s updates would naturally end up checking their personal accounts.
“Hmm. An official account, huh.”
I’d thought about promotion through media and gate raid broadcasts—but never through social media.
After a moment’s thought, I searched the big-name guilds.
“Wow… this is a war zone.”
The top four guilds each had around ten million followers.
Their accounts were full of photos and videos—training clips, daily life posts—updated almost daily.
And then—
“They’re even selling merch through here?”
I’d missed something huge.
Ugh, Na Yeo-joo, get it together.
I’d been so focused on strengthening the guild’s foundation that I’d neglected external promotion—but still, that was a serious oversight.
Without wasting another second, I created an official account for the Justice Guild.
I also immediately applied for the verified blue checkmark—it was said to take a while anyway.
‘Now, what photo should I upload first?’
I scrolled through my gallery, but it was full of pictures of baby familiars and random flowers on the street.
This was the first photo—couldn’t just post anything.
Then, right on cue, the three ramen lovers came back to the table.
‘Oh, that could work.’
Sure, it would’ve been better if I’d taken it before the barbecue, but still—everyone was gathered in one place, except for Sung Yona, who couldn’t show her face yet.
“Alright, everyone, look over here.”
I held the phone as far back as I could.
Click!
Honestly, it wasn’t a neat photo.
The three high schoolers were mid-bite, lifting their heads, and Jang Soo-ho had just stood up to clean the bottles.
‘But these kinds of photos hit differently.’
Besides, the guild’s two stars, Kang Han and Han Ji-seong, looked ridiculously handsome in it.
Han Ji-seong had that loose, relaxed smile after a few beers, chin propped in his hand; Kang Han was perfectly lit, his sculpted face shining under the light.
‘Yes, this is it.’
No need for filters or editing.
I tagged the three members who already had Stargram accounts and said,
“I made an official account for the Justice Guild. Go follow it.”
That one sentence was enough to distract the ramen-obsessed trio long enough for me to scoop a generous portion into my bowl.
Tomorrow would be busy. I needed the energy.

The day after our big party.
After breakfast, the guild members gathered by the pool.
Surprisingly, Kang Han was among the ones splashing around, already in his swimsuit.
“Guild Master, you like the water?”
“I do. What about you, Na Yeo-joo?”
“I’m not really a fan.”
I shuddered, remembering when I cramped up in a pool as a child.
Before I could explain that it wasn’t a big deal, Jang Soo-ho and Yoo-eul came charging from the opposite side, kicking up a massive splash.
“Yeo-joo unnie!”
“Na Yeo-joo, you have to get in too!”
Yeah, they were definitely planning to drag me in.
I raised my arms defensively.
“No, really, I’m fine.”
“There’s no such thing as ‘fine’!”
“Yeah! We’re coming to—urk!”
Jang Soo-ho suddenly stopped mid-sentence—because Kang Han had grabbed him by the waist.
Even in the water, he held Jang Soo-ho in one arm and Yoo-eul in the other.
Wasn’t that heavy?
“Go play over there.”
“But we have to dunk Na Yeo-joo—!”
“If you want to dunk, I’ll dunk you.”
“Eek! No, sir!”
Thankfully, Kang Han was the perfect weapon against Jang Soo-ho.
As I watched everyone splash around tirelessly, the sun climbed higher.
I moved further into the shade, away from the blazing heat.
Then, the table where our phones were buzzed.
The vibration was loud—it was the phone linked to the Justice Guild’s main line.
It’s here.
I hurried over to check.
Sure enough, it was the Awakener Association’s number.
I answered and put it on speaker so everyone could hear.
“Hello, this is Na Yeo-joo from the Justice Guild.”
[“Good morning. This is the Association. Our records show your guild is currently in Gangneung—correct?”]
“Yes, we’re on a short vacation. Is something wrong?”
The guild members, who had been laughing moments ago, went quiet and turned toward me.
[“An A-rank Guerrilla Gate has opened nearby. The first strike team failed to clear it.
According to protocol, the closest guild—Justice Guild—has first right to the raid.”]
An A-rank guerrilla gate.
And a failed first raid.
Everyone’s expressions hardened.
I didn’t need to look to know what they were all thinking.
A dungeon break.
Then came the final question from the Association officer:
[“A-rank Guerrilla Gate, Gangneung City.
Will the Justice Guild proceed with the raid?”]
