Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 165

The Elder.

The leader of Team Hyunmu 1.

The one who had granted the agents a goblin trick through that window in the lounge, allowing them to enter the shimmering palace of the Dragon King as children.

‘They’re probably not human.’

I was nearly certain.

So, I assumed we’d go through some magical ritual at that very window to visit the Elder.

But that’s not what happened.

"Alright, let’s go carefully."

Click.

We got into a car.

“…??”

"It’s not that far, about forty minutes?"

I supposed I should be grateful we weren’t taking bicycles.

The three agents, as if it were completely normal, used regular transportation to travel through Seoul toward our destination.

And that place was—

[Blue Hope Hospital]

"……."

A white building in a quiet location.

A nursing hospital.

Judging by the friendly staff and the steady flow of visitors, it seemed to be well-maintained.

The agents, unfazed, walked straight through the entrance.

"We’re here to visit Park Honglim."

"Ah! This way…."

We took the elevator to the fifth floor, arriving at a sunlit private hospital room.

And there—

In the hospital bed, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, lay a peaceful-looking elderly woman.

If her eyes had been open, she would have given the impression of someone wise and kind.

She truly looked like an Elder.

"Podo, let’s introduce you. This is our Elder."

"……."

On the bedside table sat a framed collection of messages, much like the one in Team Hyunmu 1’s lounge.

— Honglim unnie, we really, really love you!
— Thank you always.
— For the loyalty of Soju Clan’s leader, I personally tracked down and rescued a master of Andong soju.
— A great leader, our Team Captain.

Traces of people.

"Grandma, I—huh?"

At that moment, a student hurried into the room, stopping abruptly when they saw us.

"Oh! Hello, Agents…!"

"Hey, Yeji. Good to see you. How’ve you been?"

"The same as always. Let’s see, how’s our lady doing…?"

The high school girl—clearly the Elder’s granddaughter—gently touched her grandmother’s forehead as if checking for fever. Then, she looked up and smiled.

"She seems to be in a good mood."

"Yeah. Her complexion looks clear."

"Haha. Oh, has Uncle Jaegwan been well?"

"…Yeah."

It seemed like they were familiar with each other. The two agents casually chatted with her before introducing me.

"This here is our newbie."

"Oh… Nice to meet you."

"Ah, yes, same to you…!"

This wasn’t the time to stand there awkwardly. I quickly bowed to the student, and she bowed deeply in return.

Then she said,

"…Please take care of my grandmother."
