While the award ceremony was in progress, a whisper was sent to the branch manager.
-This is an urgent message from the head office. It is said that a declaration of war has been sent to us.
-Declaration of war? What kind of bastards are they?
The branch manager was barely able to resist his desire to frown.
He was at the place of festivities right now. He shouldn’t give the impression of
-T-that’s……. There is no information whatsoever. It is also the first time I heard of the guild…….
-No information? What’s the guild name?
-It’s called [Setting Sun Desperado].
It is the appearance of ‘Setting Sun’ to deal with the ‘Rising Sun’.
-Mwahahahaha, what? [Setting Sun Desperado]? Those guys are fucking crazy. Isn’t the guild master Clint Eastwood?
-No. The guild master is Ha Leeha……. There’s also no information.
-Ha Leeha? Ha Leeha… Oh, that no一
The branch manager stopped talking.
-Do you know something?
-No, no, no. Let me know when you find out anything.
-Yes. We will update you as soon as we gather information. There are still 24 hours left in real time until it takes effect, so take care.
-Oh. Good luck.
The branch manager stopped whispering and presented the certificate of commendation to the best battle agent of the week(FBA) on the podium.
Even as he smiled and shook hands, his mind ran endlessly.
‘Ha Leeha……. Isn’t that the bastard FM Tikal was targeting ?’
Now that he thought of it, the branch manager did not receive a report of the results after that.
It’s been a while since they were out, however, he had not been contacted yet?
‘Hmm. Well, whether it’s that bastard or not, if he declared war and we crush him, we can get extra points from the president. If I make a little more progress, entering the headquarters would not be a dream!’
It was really advantageous to be ahead in information.
The branch manager planned to call Tikal as soon as the award ceremony was over.
‘I don’t know who Ha Leeha is, but I can’t let him go until I get a screenshot of deleting the character. He dared to go against us? Our branch will finish him.’
Regardless of who the enemy was, the branch manager was confident that he could crush them
before the head office send out their command.
Now! Everyone, let’s forget about work and enjoy to our heart’s content! To our Rising Sun’s Fibiel branch and our branch’s endless development ——!”
Everyone raised their glasses to drink.
It was only one of the branches of Rising Sun that Leeha had to deal with.
About 300 people gathered for the weekly award ceremony of the Fibiel Branch.

‘Okay, the timer is set.’
The timer was set a little shorter than the time in which the declaration of war was set. It would be nice to live without logging out at the same time, but he couldn’t.
‘I’m at a disadvantage because of the marking anyway. It’s best to connect after the marking is gone.’
Leeha estimated that it would last for more than three days in Middle Earth time, so he decided that he could access the game at 10 a.m. the next day.
So, would he spend his evening going to bed? Of course not.
Moving in front of the computer, the first thing that Leeha did was collect information about the Rising Sun.
“The information of those wicked bastards could not be easily- … it’s here. What, these guys even made a website?”
Aren’t they just bragging about it?
It wasn’t just on the level of a personal blog, it had a neat design and layout like a “Corporate Homepage”.
From the greetings of the guild master, Kyokujitsu, to the history of Rising Sun.
Leeha was thrilled to see how it was decorated as if it was a leading corporation.
“There are screenshots too. They really revealed all their information.”
Leeha did not understand.
Why would Rising Sun reveal all the screenshots taken by their guild members?
Screenshots are not just pictures.
If one was familiar with Middle Earth, one could estimate roughly what the Rising Sun users wore and which area they are in.
In other words, they could expose their weakness…….
While he examined the screenshots and checked the users’ item status, Leeha found a picture taken 3 weeks ago.
And he knew very well where Rising Sun’s confidence came from.
“Party to commemorate the 6000 members of the guild?! What……!”
Six thousand people! It was clear why the rankers and other guilds did not touch Rising Sun.
If there were 6000 people in a single guild, it was not a number that could be controlled unless some kind of system was established.
The number of people who apply was so large that they reject it…….
“Aren’t they crazy? Six thousand? No matter how many users are below level 100…… Six thousand?”
Leeha fell into panic for a while but came to his senses again.
He could not believe the number six thousand.
What was his goal now right now? And if he understood the nature of those six thousand users, he had nothing to be afraid of.
‘There were those who played the game for a long time, however, most of them played the game like a side job in order to make money. No, if it’s Rising Sun, I think that would be the majority.’
There may be six thousand people but the elites would be few. Most importantly, what Leeha should do was not to fight 1:6000.
‘I need to disrupt Rising Sun. My only goal would be to completely avoid the pursuit of those crazy people, including Tikal. I don’t have to fight six thousand people.’
Click, click While going around the website
Leeha found another Rising Sun’s pride.
“Winning record”
There were one or two people like Leeha. Burning with revenge, there was someone who created a guild and rushed to the Rising Sun.
And Rising Sun showed the pain of defeat that all those people went through on their website.
At the same time, they posted the character deletion verification screenshots and the items they vomited out one by one.
‘Evil bastards……. In the first place, they started stealing items with PK, so why would the victim delete their characters? Besides, did they list down the items that the person spat out to increase the pain?’
There really are gangsters like these.
Leeha found a photo of Tikal in the screenshot board and ground his teeth.
Leeha wanted to kill him again and again until he quit the game, however, it was a pity he couldn’t do it.
‘I have to be sure. While using every resource available.’
Leeha scraped everything about the Rising Sun, moved around the Middle Earth community forums, and prepared for the initial work.
Riiiing, Riiiing!
His preparations did not stop until the next morning’s alarm rang.
“Okay, let’s go.”
He did not get tired even though he just stayed up all night. Leeha’s eyes burned with excitement and tension.
—
“Waah! What, this was a restaurant!”
“That’s crazy! A restaurant this big?!”
The two users raised their heads. It was a building that could be described as perfect!
“I’m sorry, sir. Today is the opening ceremony. Could you come back tomorrow?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
The woman at the entrance bowed her head with a smile full of regret.
“I won’t be able to come anyway because …… let’s go.”
“Okay.”
A private opening ceremony which only invited guests could enter. However, the Holy Grill was so crowded with people, that it was embarrassing to call it private.
Of course, most of them were only at the entrance, and no users would force their way into the restaurant that had Sacred Knights as their guests.
Another user moved to the entrance of Holy Grill. He wore a mask on his face.
“I’m sorry, sir. Today is the opening-.”
“I know.”
The user quickly raised his mask to reveal his face. As he whispered his name, to the woman’s face quickly widened.
“Welcome.”
The mask-wearing user bowed lightly and entered Holy Grill.
The long stick hanging from his back caught people’s attention, but the fact that he went in was more surprising than his outfit.
“How did that person get in?”
“Is he an NPC? Aren’t there only NPC inside?”
“Was there such an NPC in the capital? Is he a wandering merchant or something?”
Leeha only took his mask off when he could no longer be seen by users and the users’ bewildered voices quited down.
“Phew. Good. I didn’t get caught.”
As soon as he connected, Leeha wondered if there were Rising Sun members waiting around, but the worst did not happen.
‘Was the answer to log in after 3 days? I have no choice but to match this timing anyway.’
The opening ceremony of the Holy Grill.
It was practically a meaningless quest, a simple quest, but Leeha did not want to miss it.
He was curious to see what it was like. To eat at a restaurant? It wasn’t like that.
Leeha sat down in the corner and watched the face of the people.
Especially the woman who wore a fancy dress and chatted while surrounded by guests.
The woman held a cocktail glass, noticed Leeha, and started walking slowly.
“Oh my, Ha Leeha-ssi. You have come.”
“Madam Ju. Congratulations on opening.”
“Oh, what congratulations. It was thanks to Ha Leeha-ssi. Thank you for coming”
“If it’s because of me, of course, it meant that ‘everything’ went well, right’?”
“Of course. ‘If ‘everything’ didn’t go well, there’s no reason to open such a big store, right’?”
to confirm the name of the quest.
Leeha lifted his body leaning on the wall and approached Madame Ju.
“Then please help me. As the head of the Intelligence Guild in the capital of Fibiel Kingdom.”
“Hmm, I like hard things, but I don’t like the way you talk.”
Phew-.
Madame Ju blew hot wind into Leeha’s ear.
If it was usual. Leeha would have made a fuss while shouting ahhhh.
It was also what Madame Ju expected, however, Leeha did not do anything.
“It’s important.”
He just looked into
Madame Ju’s eyes.
A startled look flashed across Madame Ju’s face, but a soft smile immediately replaced it.
“Follow me.”
Leeha nodded as Madame Ju took the lead.
The two went inside the Holy Grill building. They climbed up to the top floor of the tallest building in Fibiel, with the exclusion of the Royal Palace.
