Intro
Cheonju Association Headquarters
The interior of the headquarters was noisy today as well.
The sound of the Red Shadow Unit warriors training.
The voices of the Blue Shadow Unit warriors organizing information they secretly brought from somewhere.
And even the sight of the White Shadow Unit warriors standing guard.
While slowly walking around the Cheonju Association as if taking a stroll, an interesting sight caught my eye.
She spoke with a face full of dissatisfaction due to the continuous missions.
"No, why am I the one going out again?"
If she took this on and went back again, it was certain the unit members would throw another fit.
"Not this time! Absolutely not!!"
I looked at Dan So-hee, who was frowning in distress, and gave a playful smile.
"All our Blue Shadow kids are still out, you know?"
I looked up at the sky with a smile and tapped my lips with my index finger.
"I sent three of them on top-secret missions just yesterday, and the ones who left four days ago haven't even returned yet."
