I Became the Youngest Summoner in the Strongest Guild

80. If a Sports Car Drifts to a Stop in Front of You and Tells You to Get In, Do You Get In or Not?

80. If a Sports Car Drifts to a Stop in Front of You and Tells You to Get In, Do You Get In or Not?

After finishing studying at the library, I'm chatting with Rea unni over drinks about various things related to Arcana Online. She knows more than I expected.

She must have done a lot of research.

Rea unni tells me that the top 10 guilds have numerous benefits.

She mentions powerful competitors.

"Among them, the most powerful group is the Red Revolution Group."

"Cough! Cough!"

"Are you okay?"

I tell her I'm fine after choking, and she pats my back.

Kind Rea unni, smiling and taking care of me.

She takes out her phone and shows me a video of myself waving a red flag and giving a speech.

"So, tell me. This is you, right?"

"Umm? I-I don't know."

I avoid her eyes and say it's someone I don't know, but it's the moment her suspicion turns into certainty.

"To think that Yuna was the leader of the Red Revolution Group, the friend of workers..."

"I'm telling you it's not me..."

She pokes my cheeks and smiles, which makes me nervous.

"You'll join our guild, right?"

"Of course. I promised to join."

Promises are meant to be kept.
Children who break promises will taste the flag of revolution...

"Kyaa! To think the Red Revolution Group is joining our guild! This is amazing!"

"W-wait a minute!?"

On my way home after agreeing to join the guild this evening.

I'm about to buy ice cream at a convenience store when a flashy sports car drifts to a stop right in front of me.

The passenger door opens, and I see someone inside - it's Nia!?

"What's going on?"

"Just get in! I'll explain on the way!"

If a suspicious vehicle told me to get in, I would have turned and run without looking back.

But if a flashy sports car drifts to a stop in front of me and tells me to get in?

I would have gotten in even if it wasn't Nia.

I can't resist this...

As I get in the car, Nia fastens my seatbelt.

She tells me to call home and let them know I'll be eating dinner out.

"Did you come all this way just to buy me dinner?"

"That's part of it, and I also have someone to introduce you to."

"Someone to introduce?"

I wonder who Nia could be introducing me to.

N-no way...

"I'm not interested in being set up with a guy. I'll just accept the thought."

Nia looks at me with a bewildered expression at my words. Is she surprised by my unexpected response?

"Look! Look at the road ahead!"

"It's fine. Everyone else will avoid us anyway."

For some reason, all the surrounding vehicles seem to be avoiding us.

I saw on YouTube that the easiest way to drive is to ride in an expensive car.

They said all the surrounding drivers will avoid you, and it seems to be true.

The car speeds along and stops in front of a large building.

"We're here."

"This is the place?"

As I open the door and get out, an employee approaches.

"Welcome, CEO."

"Yes, could you park the car for me?"

"Certainly, CEO."

Wait a minute, they're calling her CEO, so this must be a company.

This is my first time at a company in my life.

As I'm looking around the lobby, Nia tells me to follow her.

"There's an employee at our company who wants to meet you, so I'll introduce you."

"Me?"

"They also have a proposal."

Saying we'll talk slowly, I follow Nia into the elevator. We get off on the 19th floor and immediately see an iron door.

There's even a CCTV installed.

"It's for security."

She taps a keycard and the door slides open smoothly. It's fascinating.

Is this how companies normally are?

As soon as we enter, I see a huge monitor.

It shows a bird's-eye view of the Arcana continent.

"C-CEO!"

At that moment, an employee approaches, calling Nia.

But when they look at me, they have a puzzled expression.

Then suddenly.

They call out to me with a scream.

"Aah! Traveler No. 1!"

"M-me?"

They point at me with their finger, but why are they acting like this...?

"Team leader, this is my guest. Please show some manners."

"I-I'm sorry, CEO..."

They look at me with a frustrated expression, but I wish someone would explain what's going on.

At that moment, Nia introduces them as the general team leader.

She explains that among their duties, they particularly manage special management targets, and I'm one of them.

Then Nia says she has a very good proposal for me.

"You're going to continue the coup... I mean, protests anyway, right? So our game company wants to make it a regular event. Can you cooperate with us?"

"No way!"

"That's a relie... Huh? What did you say...? You said no?"

Nia looks at me with a dumbfounded expression.

Is she surprised by my answer that's different from what she expected?

"The flag of revolution is for workers' rights!"

At that moment, the team leader who had been trembling slowly approaches.

"CEO, if you give me just 5 minutes, I can persuade them."

"You mean persuade, right...?"

Seeing the team leader's ominous smile, I get goosebumps.

I quickly hide behind Nia, but she sells me out with a bright smile.

"W-wait a minute!? This wasn't in the plan!"

"You rejecting my proposal wasn't in the plan either."

"Workers do not compromise!"

*

To summarize in one sentence, the negotiations broke down.

But that doesn't mean there was no progress at all.

"Just compromise this much."

"That much is okay."

I promised to give at least one day's notice before holding a protest.

They say the game company needs to be able to respond, so I guess it can't be helped.

I guess I can't do surprise protests anymore.

"But there's one thing I want to ask."

"What is it?"

Nia asks a question while I'm sipping my drink.

She asks why I'm rejecting the proposal.

"We're offering the best salary and treatment in the industry, so why are you rejecting it?"

I put down my drink and spoke with a serious face.

"I don't like having someone above me!"

"How are you going to handle company life later?"

"That's the thing..."

The reality that suddenly hit me was not easy.

My current status is a student preparing for college entrance exams.

If I get into university, I'll have to attend, graduate, and then get a job... what should I do...

Is there no good solution?

"Couldn't I just find someone to support me?"

"......"

Wouldn't it be nice if a pretty, kind, and rich older sister could support me?

As I'm lost in my fantasies, Nia tells me to go eat, and I follow her to the car as we head to a restaurant.

On the way, I send a message saying I'll join the guild I was supposed to join this evening tomorrow because of a prior engagement, and I enjoy the scenery outside.

As I'm admiring the beautiful night view, Nia asks what I want to eat for dinner.

"Meat!"

"I thought so, so I made a reservation."

A capable CEO is different indeed.

She seems somehow different.

Wait a minute, rich and pretty, and while not exactly kind, she is older than me...

"Want to raise one cute college prep student?"

"No."

"How cold."

I pout my lips, and Nia chuckles as she parks the car. As we enter the restaurant, the fragrant smell of Korean beef wafts through the air.

Is it Korean beef! Is that what it is!

We take our seats and I check the menu, but the prices are insane.

180,000 won per serving!? What's this that's over 300,000 won!?

As I'm looking at the menu with trembling hands, Nia orders for us, but how much did she just order...?

"Do you want cold noodles too?"

"Yes!"

By the way, the cold noodles are 20,000 won.

I used to have a lot of money before, so I didn't think much of it, but from the perspective of someone with 8,000 won in their bank account, it's a burdensome price.

"If it's not rude, can I call you unni?"

"Suddenly!?"

As I'm chuckling, the food starts to arrive one by one.

Look at those beautiful colors.

Just looking at it makes my mouth water...

"Don't drool."

"Gulp!!"

The staff grills the meat and puts it on our plates, and the taste is amazing.

It melts in my mouth as soon as I put it in, it's incredible.

After finishing dinner, we buy a family-size ice cream at an ice cream shop, and Nia puts it in my hands and drops me off at home.

"Thank you."

"If you're grateful, contact me before you hold a protest."

She chuckles and tells me to go inside quickly.

As I enter the house, my family is waiting for me.

"Did our daughter eat well?"

"Yes, yes! We went to a super~ expensive meat restaurant today!"

"Oh my, really? Was it delicious?"

As I'm telling Mom and Dad about my adventure, my sister shows interest in my ice cream.

"What flavor is it?"

"I don't know? I didn't see because it was given to me."

My sister says she'll open it, and as soon as she does, she screams.

"Kyaaah!"

"W-what's wrong!?"

She points at the ice cream with a happy expression, but what on earth is it to make her react like that?

As I check the ice cream, surprisingly, it's filled to the brim with mint chocolate.

The family size, that is.
My sister praises me with a happy face, saying I've made a very good friend.
