A VIP as Soon as You Log In

As for the meeting place, it turned out to be Claire's bar in the Choin Shopping Center.

"Isn't this completely your home turf? How cowardly."

"Then, are you saying I should head for the Vanguard HQ?" It wasn't time for the bar to open yet, and a closed sign hung from the door, so Kang Shin-hyuk took off his mask.

However, Claire was wearing a mask she didn't usually have on for some reason as she silently wiped the glasses with a dry cloth. He tilted his head at Claire's appearance. Her bartender uniform was really attractive, but…

"Why is your noona doingthat?"

"Don't you see? She's pretending to be a secretive yet trustworthy bartender NPC.

When the main character meets someone at a bar, there's usually such a character." In response to Kang Shin-hyuk's comment, Claire nodded silently. Baek In-ha quickly realized he had no choice but to go along with it.

"What aconcept."

"You're very similar, BaekIn-ha."

"Uh, am I?

Am I not getting along well with mynoona?"

"No, aren't you a little too easygoing?" Claire immediately responded, and Baek suffered a fatalwound.

"I'm always kind to Shinyuk…"

"Honestly, you were badnow."

"Ah, couples. Are you not on my side?" Baek muttered that he wished Oh Hye-na came soon. At that, the door rattled open, and the bell rang as it swung open.

A girl in a long black coat with a greatsword on her backappeared.

"You're here." The girl, who looked like a lone soldier sneaking into enemy territory, softened a little when she noticed Baek.

However, her face stiffened once more when she noticed Kang Shin-hyuk right after.

"Come and sit down."

"I don't want to sit there… and In-ha, come over here." It seemed like she wanted to split the sides. Baek looked over at Shin-hyuk, then nodded and took a step towards Oh Hye-na. As he approached, however, she hid behind his back.

At the same time, a question mark appeared on the faces of Kang Shin-hyuk and Claire.

"Hye-na, what are youdoing?"

"I don't know when to reveal myself. Leave it to me." Oh Hye-na thanking Baek and drew the greatsword she was carrying, pointing it at KangShin-hyuk.

"I'm sorry, but Hye-na, that's my friend. I believe in him as much as I do you."

"Then, even if you gethurt…"

"Baek In-ha, you really are useless.

Weren't you trying to act as a mediator?"

"She's not listening to me now!"

"I don't care about In-ha. Talk to me." As Kang Shin-hyuk opened his mouth, Oh Hye-na frowned even more and stepped forward as if to cover him. Shin-hyuk felt like he had really become some villain… he was worried about Claire, but she seemed so excited by the harsh atmosphere that he decided to ignore her.
