I Became the Head of Returners Gallery

6 - How a Returnee Survives as a Homeless Person (4)



[Total auction price of 9,000,000 points has been credited.]
[Commission fee of 90,000 points has been credited.]
[Gallery level increased! lv.9→lv.15]
[Additional permissions granted.]
[Once a day, you can move to a user’s world by entering their fixed nickname or IP in the gallery management window.]
[You can also return once a day to your original world by entering ‘return’ in the gallery management window.]
[Gallery lv.15 (7,073,000 points to level 16)]
[Current points: 9,311,000 points]
[Permissions: File manager appointment, Gallery shop, Manager transfer]
Thanks to the Chinese character nickname throwing 9 million points for the date ticket, I gained 6 levels instantly.
At this rate, could I forgive her for breaking my leg?
After all, the time to transfer the manager position back to the former manager had been brought forward a bit.
“Forgive my ass.”
I wasn’t the Hero, who was this world’s first returnee, and I certainly wasn’t a big-hearted person.
As a petty civilian, I still get furious just thinking about my broken leg.
“Should I just report her to the Hunter Association?”
I was about to call the Hunter Association to report her but turned off my phone.
If I reported a gallery user in level 5 distress, the points would probably disappear.
‘I’ll think about it later, later.’
I put my phone down and entered the gallery shop.
“Now that I have so many points… I should buy something.”
[Gallery Shop]
[Recommended product for Manager!]
[Recovery Potion (Medium)]
[Price: 50 points]
[Effect: Heals ordinary fractures in 1 second! Made by the Empire’s finest pharmaceutical guild!]
The effect description sounding like an advertisement must be my imagination.
Seeing how it even displays recommended products, it seems like there might be some kind of AI running the shop.
I immediately pressed the purchase button.
I didn’t really plan to go outside anyway, but it was unbearably uncomfortable.
Having to use crutches every time I went to the bathroom was too inconvenient.
The skin inside the cast was also very itchy.
It was better to spend 50 points to cleanly heal the broken bone.
As soon as I pressed the purchase button, light emanated from my leg, and the pain completely disappeared.
I carefully removed the cast and tried moving my leg.
“It moves well?”
It actually felt stronger than before it was broken.
Good.
Now, shall I go on that date?

-Don’t go, that place is hell
└Manager: ?????
└The Chinese character nickname is a serial killer
└Manager: Who says that?
└A returnee from Murim
-You are swift, manager. This one’s fixed nickname is HeavenlyDemonReturnsAllDemonsKneeling. A body that commands beyond Jonggak Station to Seoul Station.
└Manager: So we meet at Jonggak Station?
└That is correct, manager.
-Should we call the Returnee Association to Jonggak Station?
└Manager: ??? There’s no Returnee Association where I live
└What? There’s a world without a Returnee Association? Is it a world without returnees?
└Manager: No, there are three returnees
└3 is too few, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t exist?
└If it’s 3 in the entire world, not just one country, there might not be one lol
└Exactly which Jonggak Station should we call the Returnee Association to
└Don’t know

‘What the hell is a Returnee Association, you weeb.’
While I was concerned about the newbie being a returnee in the same world as me, one question arose.
I had heard of the Hunter Association, but the Returnee Association was news to me.
Searching for Returnee Association, I found that it helps returnees adapt to society and treat trauma from otherworlds.
In other words, it was an association similar to a welfare organization exclusively for returnees.
I don’t know about other worlds, but here there were only three returnees, and one of them was a wanted criminal.
‘If there’s a Returnee Association, there must be quite a few returnees… what kind of hell are the worlds with Returnee Associations?’
Reading the comments on my post, I imagined a world with thousands of returnees.
[Hahaha! Russia has been conquered by this demon lord! Now I’ll devour China! Come out, Heavenly Demon!]
[How laughable that a monster dares to conquer the territory of the Heavenly Demon Divine Church! The Central Plains will never be surrendered to you.]
[Ehhh— I’m the only magical girl? Why doesn’t my transformation undo after returning? I’ll destroy everything☆]
[Ah… I became a hero, saved the world, and returned after 100 years, but everyone I knew is dead… This world isn’t worth protecting. I’ll destroy it.]
It was horrifying just to imagine.
Such a place wouldn’t be surprising if a returnee apocalypse broke out.
‘It’s really fortunate that there are only 3 returnees here…’
[Gallery Shop]
[No recommended products.]
[Try using the search function!]
What’s this?
It was working fine just a moment ago.
‘Well, at least there’s a search function.’
Thinking positively, I opened the search bar.
[Teleportation]
[Teleportation Scroll]
[Multi-dimensional Teleportation Scroll]
[Dimensional Train Ticket (Teleportation Seat)]
[Multi-dimensional Post Office Registered Mail Usage Right (Mail Teleportation)]
A list of teleportation items appeared all at once.
Dimensional Train, Multi-dimensional Post Office—search results included things I had no idea how to use.
‘Is this the Returnee Gallery or a multi-dimensional shop?’
After my brief reflection, I purchased a teleportation scroll.
[Teleportation Scroll]
[Price: 50 points]
[A teleportation scroll made by the Empire’s Magic Guild. The latest product that allows teleportation within a 100km radius.]
After pressing the purchase button, the instructions appeared.
[Instructions: Think of or input a location within a 100km radius, then tear the scroll.]
Before tearing the scroll, I momentarily compared the value of 100 million won and points.
Even if I couldn’t catch the former manager, with gallery points, I could live a life like a returnee.
Moreover, I could move to other worlds at will with my manager privileges.
As long as that world wasn’t seriously ruined, I could essentially travel to another world once a day.
Though I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing for a reclusive loner.
‘I’ll think about that when the time comes…’
As for that Chinese character nickname, when I meet her, I’ll ban her first and then make her work as a housekeeper.
Rip—
I got dressed properly, thought of Jonggak Station, and tore the scroll.

 

Jonggak Station Exit 4.
I opened the gallery in front of me, went to the Chinese character nickname’s post, and wrote a comment.
-Manager: I’m at Jonggak Station, where are you?
Ding—
└Here.
A reply came as soon as I commented.
‘Where is she?’
Whoosh—
As soon as the reply appeared, I suddenly heard someone approaching from behind.
I was grabbed by the collar and dragged into a back alley.
Wham!
And whoever grabbed my collar pressed their enormous chest against my upper body, breathing heavily.
“Haa, haa…”
‘Wow, it’s so soft… J? K? Is this the power of body transformation?’
—This was not the time to be thinking such thoughts.
Was I being kidnapped?
Just after coming to help someone who was in danger of being kidnapped?
‘This is really unfair.’
“Help me… Hwuup!”
The Chinese character nickname, or rather the kidnapper, covered my mouth and created a barrier with something like inner energy to block the sound when I tried to shout.
“Huu… Huu…”
“Uup! Huuup!”
After creating the barrier with her martial art, she finally removed her hand from my mouth.
“Hey.”
“What do you wish to say, manager child? I have used a sound-blocking technique, so no one’s words will escape. Speak comfortably.”
She asked me in a calm voice as if she hadn’t just dragged me away.
Her nonchalant expression made anger well up inside me.
Is this what a demonic cult member is like?
I could understand why the Army sect fixed nickname kept talking about demons.
“What the hell are you doing? You broke my leg, and now you’re kidnapping me? Aren’t you a complete lunatic!”
I shouted as soon as she removed her hand.
“Sigh…”
The Chinese character nickname sighed and then spoke.
“Take responsibility for this one.”
“What?”
