Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 274
Side story 1. Peace

The man looked at the sea.
The blue sky is deeper than the sea. The waves make a refreshing sound and the white foam breaks on the sandy beach.
Even though I had walked along the beach with Seora in Hawaii after completing the 8th floor of the labyrinth, strangely enough, all of this scenery was very unfamiliar.
It is probably no different from the feeling of a person encountering the sea for the first time. It’s been almost decades since I’ve seen the sea with my own eyes.
In fact, it wasn’t just the sea. The city, the mountains, the sky, everything was unfamiliar and strange.
Was it this vivid? Was it this colorful? Was it this beautiful?
It’s only after living hundreds of years that you realize the beauty of the world.
In front of the vast sea, the man felt truly fortunate to be alive again.
“Ethics system!”
At that time, a loud voice shook the entire beach.
The man, who had been staring at the sea so blankly that the sea was engraved in his eyes, finally took his gaze off and looked back.
His beloved was looking for him from the balcony of the mansion. Unlike the unfamiliar scenery, with a name that has become familiar.
“Seo-ra.”
The man, Rize, smiled brightly at Seo-ra.
Every time her lips called my name, it was so heartbreaking that my heart tightened.
Seo-ra Yoon gave me a new name and a new life.
My love, my people and my life.
Rize turned her back to the sea and walked briskly towards Yoon Seo-ra, her everything.

“You left me alone again. “Wake me up.”
As soon as Rize stood in front of me, she grumbled and hit his shoulder. Even though it was quite painful, Rize smiled and hugged her.
As if he had regained all the emotions he had lost while coming back to life, he smiled brightly whenever he saw me.
I liked it so much that even if I felt a little disappointed, it melted away. It was still the same now.
Seo-ra eventually sighed and quietly fell into his arms. Also, as if he had been at the beach for several hours, his shirt had a unique scent from the sea.
“I know you doze off all the time, so how do I wake you up?”
“It’s better to sleep next to you than to sleep alone in a cold bed.”
Although he regained his emotions, he still could not fall into a deep sleep. Even when I slept with Seo-ra, I would often open my eyes before even two hours had passed.
At first, when I woke up, I spent time looking at Seo-ra next to me, but when she kept waking up because of that earnest gaze, I soon changed my route to going to the beach right in front of me.
To be honest, I didn’t like Seo-ra even more.
It’s okay to wake up, so just stay by my side. No, if you’re going out, just take me with you.
“I don’t want to fall.”
Seora hugged his waist tighter. Rize gently patted her back as if he knew how she felt.
A month has already passed since I gave Rize a name and brought her back to life. There was some adaptation to the management of the system that still existed, and the Earth was slowly returning to a time of peace.
Everything was moving like cogwheels, but my heart toward Rize kept getting twisted.
I don’t know if it was because I killed him with my own hands, or because I saw him being punished alone in hell, but I couldn’t bear to see Rize leave my side even for a moment.
Even though I knew that this feeling, which was worse than anxiety, was an obsession, I couldn’t fix it.
No, actually, I had no intention of fixing it.
Because he will never leave my side anyway.
“Okay then, let’s stay together.”
Although Rize clearly knew that my dark heart was tightly packed with obsession, instead of running away, she kissed my forehead as if it was natural.
It was only then that I was able to smile, even with the warm breath tickling my skin. yes he is here
“I’m not cold.”
Rize, who quickly picked up Seora, sat down on the soft chair provided on the balcony. And then he wrapped Seo-ra in a blanket.
The sea breeze is a bit strong, but it’s almost summer, so isn’t the blanket a bit harsh?
“no. “My skin is cold.”
However, Rize firmly shook her head as if she did not agree. Then he pulled the blanket closer and wrapped it all the way up to her cheek.
Who knows best that a transcendental person cannot catch a cold… It
was absurd, but instead of taking off the cumbersome blanket, Seo-ra leaned her cheek on Rize’s shoulder.
Why don’t you know? Just as I am obsessed with him, he is also obsessed with me.
It doesn’t matter if it looks strange in the eyes of others. Because this is their way of loving and being satisfied with each other is enough.
My love, my people, my happiness.
With Rize by her side, Yoon Seo-ra was happier than ever.

The best thing about not being shackled by the designer was that he could tell anyone the location of the gate that was scheduled to occur.
So, after becoming a manager, Seo-ra always conveyed this fact to each country in advance, except when he went to the underworld, so that they could prepare.
Thanks to this, the global death rate dropped dramatically after the labyrinth collapsed.
Although they didn’t know that Yoon Seo-ra became the manager, everyone knew that she was the one who became EX level and destroyed the labyrinth, so people expressed their gratitude and said that it was all thanks to her.
Actually, Yoon Seo-ra has never been seen again since then.
She always stayed at home and communicated news of upcoming gates only through video calls.
It was the same today. As soon as I felt the sign that the gate would be opened in Korea, I immediately called Hanna Song and informed her of this.
“A breakout is scheduled, so send out hunters in advance. “Please evacuate the residents.”
– Ok, thanks.
As soon as Song Hanna heard that a breakout would occur in Daegu, a city with many people, she immediately conveyed this information to the Daegu branch of the association.
“I don’t know the level until the gate opens, so tell the A-level people to wait as well.”
– okay.
Beyond the screen, Song Hanna was seen busily giving orders. Seo-ra smiled as Do Jun-young, whom she had not seen in a long time, appeared next to her on the screen.
“It’s been a while, Director Do. How are you?”
– yes. Except for feeling a little lonely without Seo-ra Yoon.
Seo-ra laughed at Do Jun-young’s joke.
But I guess it wasn’t a joke. There was no trace of playfulness on his face.
“It’s already been two months since I left the company, so what should I do if you’re still like this?”
– We’ve worked together for over 3 years, so there’s no way I could get used to it in just 2 months.
Do Jun-young, who answered like that, was truly regretful.
Seo-ra finally submitted his resignation to the association immediately after the labyrinth was completely closed.
It was inevitable because I had to perform administrator duties and go to the afterlife until the system collapsed.
More than anything, I feel a little sorry for Song Hanna and Do Jun-young, but I wanted to be with Rize more while I was working at the association.
– that’s right. I feel sorry too. But unlike us, who are filled with longing, you look very nice.
Song Hanna, who was chirping, looked at Seo-ra’s face.
Seora’s face is white and immaculate, without any blemishes.
“They say quitting your job is a panacea. “I don’t go to work and just hang around the house to pay for it. Of course, my face gets better.”
– but. I think I would rejuvenate myself if I lounged around in a place like that.
Song Hanna and Do Jun-young’s gaze turned to look over Seo-ra’s shoulder. I smiled and looked back as if I was looking around the room.
This was the very jewel mansion where Rize lived alone for 50 years.
When the labyrinth was closed, unlike other places, the Jewel Mansion on the 12th floor could be brought back to Earth. I don’t know if it was because it was originally on Earth, or because it was where Rize, the system administrator, lived, but the reason didn’t matter.
Even though it was a place that made Rize lonely, this was the place where she lived with her family and she also had memories with me, so I couldn’t let it fall apart.
So, as I had long ago planned to build and live in a house on a deserted beach, I bought land in a quiet area and built a mansion there.
Although the plan changed slightly, Seo-ra was very happy because she had achieved her goal of living quietly with Rize.
“Now that I’m a bit more relaxed, I’ll invite everyone soon. “Are you coming?”
While preparing to go to the afterlife, Seo-ra rarely left this place while trying to resolve the past memories with Rize, who came back to life.
That’s why I only told everyone the news over a video call.
That’s two months. Although I still feel anxious if I don’t see Rize, I don’t plan on cutting off ties with everyone and leaving behind, so I plan to meet again soon.
But where is Rize now?
“Seo-ra.”
Before the anxiety that I had forgotten for a moment while talking on the phone filled my heart, Rize opened the door and entered the room.
His heart was rising and falling loudly, as if he was wandering around the large mansion looking for her.
His face was filled with the anxiety that Seora often saw on his own face.
“Oh, I was on the phone because a gate is going to open in Korea soon.”
“Say and leave.”
Openly relieved, he hugged Seo-ra’s waist as she sat on the sofa and leaned his cheek on her shoulder.
Whether Song Hanna and Do Jun-young’s eyes are open or not on the screen, they are not given the slightest attention.
“I know. It’s my fault.”
However, Seo-ra also did not care about the gazes of the two people.
Seo-ra stroked Rize’s cheek and kissed her smooth forehead. The sight of the lovers wandering around looking for each other was extremely heartbreaking.
– The call hasn’t ended yet.
Song Hanna, who suddenly saw her nephew’s romantic relationship right under her nose, clicked her tongue.
