Chapter 96

I swallowed.

But I did intend to sign with the Trial Response Agency.

It seemed Pasung’s CEO Cha was determined to stop me from signing a contract with the Trial Response Agency.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

And it had nothing to do with Director Jang Seokyun.

I wanted to repay, at least in part, the goodwill I had received.

Simply put.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

I even used Guardian’s Blessing without pretending to take out an item, completely exposing all of my lies.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno already knew about my Message ability, but neither Captain Kwak Hanmuk nor Captain Mo Haein knew anything about it, and yet I had shown them the system windows without thinking twice.

After everything I had done, even if they accused me of being a national catastrophe a dozen times, I wouldn’t have had a single argument to defend myself.

During Slay to Plate, I had used my abilities without the slightest bit of caution.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

If I could now stand up to Director Jang Seokyun so calmly, it was solely thanks to the silence of the Special Operations Team.

And yet, no one reported any of it to the Trial Response Agency.

She only stepped in when I was about to sacrifice my life for nothing.

Even Mo Haein, despite the fact that I had reopened her past trauma, never let it show.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

‘And Captain Kwak also told me we were a team.’

‘And if I leave Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno alone, what if he tears off his wings again?’

When I shouted that we needed to get the Twins out and asked for help, she was the first to come to my aid, cutting open my abdomen with Black Moon Blade.

I clearly remembered how, when Infernum had driven me insane, he asked whether we weren’t teammates and told me to ask him for anything I needed.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

In the end, if I had managed to clear the Trials safely, it was thanks to all the help and goodwill of the Special Operations Team.

Just recently, when Pasung’s CEO Cha attacked the Trial Response Agency, it was Samra who carried me on his back and immediately fled with me.

Samra was also doing everything he could to help me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

And above all, I was still going to need both the Trial Response Agency and the Special Operations Team.

That was something I found very difficult.

To pretend none of that had ever happened.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

And tracking down the Developer wouldn’t be possible in Pasung without Samra’s help either.

That was why I intended to negotiate directly with Director Jang Seokyun.

Clearing Trials was impossible through my own strength alone.

‘The real problem is convincing Pasung’s CEO Cha.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Very carefully, I tried to answer.

Pasung’s CEO Cha stood up so abruptly that the chair was sent flying backward.

“For now… I think I will sign—”

Bang!

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Pasung’s CEO Cha, wait a moment.”

“I suppose tearing off one side of the Trial Response Agency building wasn’t enough.”

Gripping Great Sun Tathāgata, he spoke in that indifferent, mechanical voice.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

…How did he know?

For a moment, I was astonished by his incredible ability to read the situation.

“It’s because of the Special Operations Team, isn’t it?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Pasung’s CEO Cha!”

But he had already started walking.

“If I cut off the heads of the Special Operations Team, then you’ll sign with Pasung.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

But he had no intention of doing so.

I hurriedly jumped off the hospital bed and ran after him.

Just as he was about to open the room’s door.

“Pasung’s CEO Cha, please listen to me first…!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

At last, he stopped in his tracks.

I grabbed the edge of his jacket and shouted desperately,

“I’ll die!!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

He slowly turned his head to look at me.

“What exactly do you mean you’ll die? canvas Explain.”

“I-if I don’t remain with the Trial Response Agency, I’ll die. athlete It’s… because of the Developer…”

“…What?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

I explained that the Developer assigned me Quests; that if I completed them, I would stay alive, and if I failed, I would die.

I also told him that one of the conditions of those Quests was belonging to the Trial Response Agency.

I told him a carefully crafted mixture of truth and lies.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Do you think I’m happy about being tied to the Trial Response Agency? august Of course not! orbit I’d much rather work under the orders of Pasung’s CEO Cha, whom I admire and respect so much—even as the director of Pasung!”

After everything he had experienced with the Developer and the anomalies the Developer caused, Pasung’s CEO Cha had no choice but to believe me.

‘Besides, it’s not entirely a lie.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

I explained to him again and again that, because of the Developer, I had a Quest requiring me to clear Trials while belonging to the Trial Response Agency, so I had no choice.

As he listened, Pasung’s CEO Cha lowered his gaze.

But.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

He looked at me again.

Startled, I immediately let go of the fabric.

Only then did I realize I was still clutching the edge of his jacket as though my life depended on it.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

I raised both hands to make it clear I wasn’t armed and obediently waited for him to speak.

“Do the Quests still appear?”

Pasung’s CEO Cha looked down at me. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Pasung’s CEO Cha let out a disbelieving laugh.

“Yes. riddle I don’t know when they’ll end.”

“The Quest I just received is to clear seven Trials within two months while belonging to the Trial Response Agency.”

“What’s the current one?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Clearing a Trial was practically considered impossible.

Before I appeared, there had only been nine cases of cleared Trials in the entire world.

It was only natural that the number I had just mentioned sounded absurd to him.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Even though he didn’t finish the sentence, the curse he left unsaid was perfectly clear.

“That damned Developer…”

For me, it was possible.

But he also knew perfectly well that I had already cleared Trials before.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

…In any case, it seemed my lie had worked to some extent.

“I was the one who played the games, and yet he sends Han Goyo to the Trial Response Agency instead of Pasung?”

Then he muttered coldly,

He remained silent for a few moments.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

I already stood out enough.

“But this is the first time I’ve told anyone all of this. accent So… I’d like to ask you to keep it a secret.”

After getting out of that situation with a desperate lie, I added somewhat timidly,

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

There was no need to make it even more obvious how strange I was.

‘But I was planning to tell Samra anyway.’

Of course, Samra was probably already listening to the conversation through Han Jiwol’s phone.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Although that was precisely the difficult part.

So I only needed to keep the person standing in front of me quiet.

“Han Goyo, you really are complicated.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Even his mechanical voice clearly conveyed his displeasure.

Knowing his personality, I shrank back a little.

Just a little.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Twenty times.”

Pasung’s CEO Cha leaned toward me.

He brought his face so close it was almost touching mine and whispered,

For a moment, I thought he was about to headbutt me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“…Excuse me?”

“Twenty deployments. portal Not one less.”

To be honest, I didn’t really care how many times I entered a Trial.

It took me a moment to react.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Alright. zenith Twenty deployments it is. altitude But I have one condition as well.”

Pretending to think it over seriously, I answered,

Most likely, future Epic Quests would require me to clear even more Trials.

“What is it?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Before he could pull out Great Sun Tathāgata, I hurriedly explained.

“I want a one-time free-use coupon from Pasung’s CEO.”

“You know my value perfectly well. acoustic You know granting me something like that won’t be any loss to you.”

Then Pasung’s CEO Cha gave a completely unexpected answer.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

After leaving me utterly stunned, Pasung’s CEO Cha immediately took a contract out of his inventory and drafted the clauses.

“Make it two.”

I took the contract and read it with wide eyes.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Relentless Contract: A scroll imbued with the remnants of the Abyss. zenith If any clause written upon it is violated, something terrible will happen.

‘He really left it at two uses…’

Although I found it hard to believe, I reviewed every single clause in case there was any fine print hidden somewhere. arrow Then I checked the item’s description.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

When I placed my palm on the contract, a pen appeared.

It was, without question, a contract for Suitables.

He showed no reaction and remained quietly silent.

I took hold of it and, before signing, cast one last glance at Dominic.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

The moment I signed my name, both the pen and the contract disappeared.

‘He doesn’t have a problem with this kind of contract?’

It was probably because it left no marks on the body or soul—it was simply an ordinary contract.

“Let’s get along, Han Goyo.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

And so our negotiations came to an end.

“It’ll be a pleasure working with you, Pasung’s CEO Cha.”

I put on my best professional smile.

With both hands tucked into the pockets of his tracksuit jacket, Pasung’s CEO Cha spoke arrogantly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

After reaching an agreement with Pasung’s CEO Cha, I was finally able to leave the hospital room.

Han Jiwol authorized my discharge using her authority as a director.

***

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

In the meantime, I had several things to do as well.

Samra would probably be busy until Director Jang Seokyun and Pasung’s CEO Cha finished negotiating.

Under the watch of several soldiers, I was escorted to a room that looked very much like the isolation cell I had used before.

It was so similar to the previous one that it didn’t feel unfamiliar.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Dominic climbed up my arm as he asked,

After tidying myself up as best I could, I extended my hand toward the Pudding Slime waiting on the table.

I took off the hospital gown and changed back into my Trial Response Agency uniform.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Mr. canvas Gunbam, what do you think about making the man wearing the mask one of your subordinates? arcade He seems quite useful.”

The fact that even Dominic recommended registering him as a character once again proved just how extraordinary he was.

Apparently, Pasung’s CEO Cha had made a good impression on him.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Once again, I reminded myself not to judge anyone solely by what I had seen in the game.

And it wasn’t because he was my favorite character.

Moreover, after meeting him in person, I felt his personality was much more flexible than I had imagined.

He really was much kinder than he had been in the game.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Then I answered Dominic.

“I want to avoid registering subordinates whenever possible. crystal I’m still afraid of having to bear responsibility for another person’s existence.”

Dominic stopped halfway up my forearm and looked up at me.

“I see.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

You have determined that perhaps the Terrible Calamity is right.

The moment I thought that sounded very much like what the system window always said, the familiar chime rang out.

“But, Mr. shadow Gunbam, you can’t remain small and immature forever. adapt Someday, you’ll have to grow.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Since I already knew exactly what it was going to say next, I closed the system window immediately.

Because, for a Young God, nothing is more important than growing.

But whenever he said something it liked, it immediately agreed with him.

Whenever Dominic spoke, the system window complained.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

In practice, that was the same as saying I still had no intention of registering any subordinates.

I confirmed that Dominic had already settled comfortably onto my shoulder.

“I’ll do my best, Mr. atomic Dominic.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

He always respected my decisions quite a bit.

Dominic didn’t press the issue any further.

“Hmm, very well.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

‘He’s definitely better than the system window.’

Since we weren’t in the Trial Response Agency’s main building, the door could be opened from the inside this time.

Thinking that, I opened the door.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Click.

The soldiers standing guard outside the room immediately aimed their weapons at me.

“Excuse me. admire Could you take me to Field Team 3’s office? portal I’d like to see Captain Kwak. apple He’s already back from the mission, isn’t he?”

I smiled at them and made a request.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“During today’s conversation with the Director, I was given permission to request a meeting. attic You can verify it. abstract And if you can’t confirm it with the Director, you can ask Captain Kwak directly.”

“We have received no such authorization. silence Return to your room.”

Captain Kwak, I’m counting on you! Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

There was no way those soldiers could contact Director Jang Seokyun directly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Most likely, they would try to verify it with Kwak Hanmuk.

Since I spoke with complete confidence, the soldiers exchanged glances.

They hesitated for a few moments.

And I was convinced that, even if it sounded completely unexpected to him, Kwak Hanmuk would improvise some excuse to cover for me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Rather than believing me because of how confidently I spoke.

“…Follow us.”

But, surprisingly, they didn’t call Kwak Hanmuk to verify anything.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

It even looked as though, if no such meeting had actually been scheduled, he would personally deal with the matter himself.

It seemed they preferred to avoid having to contact Kwak Hanmuk.

Knowing Kwak Hanmuk’s kind and sociable personality, I found that reaction rather strange.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Through the glass door, I could see the team’s soldiers.

The soldiers led me to Field Team 3’s temporary office.

Kwak Hanmuk was seated at the back of the office, working with an utterly serious expression.

And among them all, I immediately spotted a head of red hair.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

It was a strangely unfamiliar sight.

Perhaps because I was so used to seeing him smiling.

I watched him typing as he wrote a report.

At that moment, one of the team members carefully approached him to ask something.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Without taking his eyes off the monitor, Kwak Hanmuk answered with just a few words.

The soldier gave a flawless salute and immediately stepped away.

He didn’t seem to have a particularly close relationship with the members of his own team.

For some reason.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

That surprised me quite a bit.

Perhaps it was only my impression based on a single scene.

I had always imagined the atmosphere within Kwak Hanmuk’s team would be much more relaxed.

But everyone seemed to respect him a great deal.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

They wavered for only an instant.

Under the soldiers’ watch, I opened the glass door and entered the office.

Immediately, a pair of gray eyes settled on me.

“…Goyo?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

With a casual wave of his hand, he dismissed the soldiers.

“I called him regarding Recruit Han’s contract, so there’s no need to keep watching him anymore. adopt You may leave.”

Then he noticed the soldiers behind me and instantly understood the situation.

Kwak Hanmuk immediately stood up.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Grinning from ear to ear, Kwak Hanmuk walked over as though about to drape an arm around my shoulders.

They gave a military salute before leaving.

But he suddenly stopped.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

When he saw the gleaming Pudding Slime, he gave up on hugging me and let out a quiet chuckle.

“Goyo, word’s already spread everywhere that you coughed up blood and collapsed.”

“Haa.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“……”

“They’re saying Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and Pasung’s CEO Cha went around destroying buildings while fighting over our Gunbam?”

“Ah… about that…”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Want to grab a coffee? autumn My treat.”

Kwak Hanmuk burst into laughter and pointed behind him with his thumb.

Since it was completely true, I had nothing to say.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

Just as I was about to gladly accept.

He added that there wouldn’t be anyone on the rooftop.

The two of us had a lot to talk about.

“Mr. anxiety Gunbam. antenna It’s time to give you your Quest reward.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

After waiting so long, I was finally about to solve that mystery.

‘Am I finally going to find out why Captain Kwak can see Dominic?’

The moment I heard Dominic, my heart started pounding.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 96 by Indra Translations.

“Order that subordinate to take off his clothes, Mr. anxiety Gunbam.”

I eagerly waited to hear what he would say next.

…Excuse me?
