Trash of the Count's Family

TCF S1-3

“What the hell? How did they know about this place?”

Park Kyung Ho grumbling in such a loud voice that it was hard to think that he was talking to himself.

He then walked over to Choi Jung Soo.

"We are going to search here so why don't you go somewhere else?”

“Ah, Mr. Kyung Ho.”

His companion, Choi Soo-In, tried to stop him, but Park Kyung Ho was still looking at Choi Jung Soo and Kim Rok Soo with a disapproving gaze.

‘I wanted to learn under Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk-nim.’

Park Kyung Ho had become an ability user half a year ago. His ability was given quite high marks and he was immediately designated as a Grade 4 user.

This was quite a good start.

After that, he trained and practiced quite a bit to come into this company and his efforts paid off when he was hired on the first try.

That was why he had been pretty certain that he would be in Lee Soo Hyuk's team.

Lee Soo Hyuk was one of the first multiple ability users.

Only the warriors among warriors were said to be in his team.

That was why it only made sense for that position to be his.

‘But these two are going to be under him?’

He especially did not like Choi Jung Soo, who was clearly not a rear support member and would be in the battle squad.

“Mm. We were planning on starting our search here as well.”

Choi Jung Soo scratched his head.

“The main building is quite large so why don’t we split it half and half to search?”

"Why should we do that? We were here first so the respectful thing to do would be for you go to somewhere else.”

“Ah, that...”

Choi Jung Soo could not hide the awkwardness he was feeling in this situation. The supporter in Team 2 was feeling the same way. She knew it would be great if Team 1 left but Park Kyung Ho's attitude was quite shameful to watch.

“I understand.”

Kim Rok Soo moved next to Choi Jung Soo at that moment.

"We will look through the annex before going somewhere else.”

Park Kyung Ho scowled at the stoic response but did not say anything else. He quickly turned around and headed for the City Hall building.

“Let's go, Miss Soo-In.”

“O, okay.”

She bowed toward Choi Jung Soo and Kim Rok Soo.

“I'm sorry. But this is a competition, so I trust that you will understand. It is true that we got here first.”

“Ho.”

Choi Jung Soo gasped before turning his head.

“Will it be okay, Mr. Rok Soo?”

“Who knows, Mr. Jung Soo.”

Kim Rok Soo responded as if he didn't care much for it and looked around.

“To be honest with you, I was not expecting to find anything in City Hall.”

“Excuse me?”

“The government or a guild would have gone through City Hall first.”

“...Then?”

"There was a famous architect’s office around here. I heard that he was preparing the model for a new City Hall.”

“...Excuse me?”

“The judicial scrivener and tax accountant office buildings seem to have maintained their form as well so we can look around it.”

Choi Jung Soo looked at Kim Rok Soo, who seemed to be in his early to mid twenties like himself, and blankly asked.

“...How do you know such things?”

“There will always be records somewhere.”

Kim Rok Soo didn't even look at City Hall or the annex before walking around it.

“Wow.”

Choi Jung Soo gasped in admiration before following behind him.

“Wow. Seriously...”

He gasped in admiration a few more times before quietly mumbling to himself so that Kim Rok Soo could not hear.

“I should be good friends with this guy.”

Kim Rok Soo suddenly stopped walking at that moment.

‘Hmm?’

Choi Jung Soo flinched, wondering if Kim Rok Soo had heard his mumbling. He slowly walked over to Kim Rok Soo, who was standing stiff while looking down.

“Umm, Mr. Rok Soo. What I said was-”

“...Let’s go to City Hall, Mr. Jung Soo.”

“Excuse me?”

Choi Jung Soo found this comment to be odd and stood next to Kim Rok Soo.

‘Mm.’

He then flinched for a different reason from earlier.

Kim Rok Soo’s gaze was even sharper than before. He was cowling while looking down.

Choi Jung Soo looked down as well.

“Huh? The bugs......?”

Ants and other bugs were moving in a long line.

He had seen ants do this before, but it was his first time seeing all sorts of bugs doing this.

Kim Rok Soo’s gaze slowly moved and Choi Jung Soo's gaze followed.

“...That is-”

The bugs were all leaving from around City Hall in this long line.

The bugs were running away.

“What the heck?”

Choi Jung Soo felt an unexplainable sensation. His back became cold.

This was anxiety.

He was anxious because he felt as if something, something bad, was about to happen.

“Mr. Rok Soo, why are all of the bugs running away from City Hall?”
