When he logged back into the game the next day, new mail had arrived.

‘New mail has arrived. Please check your mailbox.’

Thinking it might be event-related, Yeo-woon went to the town’s postman to check. There were a total of two mails, one from Captain Poseidon and one from Ji9star.

‘I don’t care about the other one, but why would the guild master send me mail…’

Yeo-woon first opened the mail that arrived from Captain Poseidon.

[Received mail]

From: Captain Poseidon

Subject: .

Hello, neutaaaa. I am the Guild Master, Poseidon.

I’m writing this mail because one of our guild members seemed to have behaved rudely while I was away for a moment. ㅠㅠ I should have intervened appropriately, but something suddenly came up and I am sorry for making you hear such harsh words while I was away.

Recently, there have been some players with malicious intent joining our guild, making demands to ride the bus without reason, and publishing derogatory posts about our guild and guild members. Some users have been unilaterally spreading rumors, revealing the personal information and social media accounts of guild rankers, and even making malicious reports. This has been a headache for us.

I know this isn’t an excuse, but many guild members are currently under a lot of stress due to the actions of a few users. Ji9star may have seemed a bit sensitive because of this situation.

I’ve temporarily demoted the guild position of the guild member responsible for this. After they apologize sincerely to you, and if you are willing to forgive them, please send me a mail or whisper, and I’ll restore their guild position. I would appreciate it if you could accept their apology and provide some relief.

The mail was long enough to scroll down. After skimming over what was being said, Yeo-woon began to think more.

“… Do people really have nothing to do? What kind of game is this that they dig into personal information?”

Yeo-woon had rarely visited the Illusion board unless he was looking for skill tree information, so he had no idea that such conflicts were happening in the game. After reading the guild master’s mail, his sense of bewilderment gradually dissipated. The blue-haired troublemaker who had been relentlessly following him and insisting on a conversation was in a completely different story from the situation described in the mail.

“…So that’s what happened.”

At least the guild master seems to have common sense, and that’s a relief. Because it was an understandable reason, his heart naturally became generous. It could have happened if he had touched a sensitive topic. If that guy had talked like this before, he would have probably apologized and left on good terms. Yeo-woon clicked the next mail with a smile on his face. His relaxed mind once again froze like a lake in the middle of winter.

“… What is it, is he an elementary school student?”

No, even considering him as an elementary school student would be too generous, given their vocabulary and spelling. No matter how Yeo-woon looked at it, he couldn’t help but think it was written like this on purpose. Moreover, what’s with the weird line breaks? Yesterday, they spoke just fine.

After looking at the letter for a while and reading the first letter, he was able to figure out what he was really trying to say.

‘I’m not sorry lol.’

“Huh?”

Good work! It seemed that the scene where his character winked and said the words was vividly portrayed in front of his eyes.

“…Haa.”

After sitting there dumbfounded for a while, Yeo-woon chuckled in disbelief. This guy shouldn’t have gotten away with it. This was the same person who followed him around and caused a scene yesterday, it must be such a bad thing if his guild position goes down. So he probably sent the mail as instructed, right?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Hello!

The message was sent when Yeo-woon set Captain Poseidon as the target and sent a whisper. He too was currently logged into the game.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Ah, hello!

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: You are the person from yesterday, right?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Yes, I saw the mail.

It felt like being a student bowing down to the teacher, but there was no better way. Being straightforward and direct seemed more effective than trying to have a calm conversation, as he had done yesterday.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: By any chance, did you get one more mail apart from mine?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Ah yes…

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Oh, thank goodness.

Is it really a relief?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Could you please tell him one thing?

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Of course!

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Please tell him that I received his 99 shiny apples.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Yes?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I sold them at the item shop and earned 99 won. Thank you very much, I’ll put it to good use in my life. ^^

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: …

Yeah, you probably think this is nonsense too, but I won’t swear. In a way, this person also got caught in the middle and had a hard time.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Are you saying that Earth Star has sent an item…??

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I took a bit of time to decipher the message by just using the first letter…

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Wow

[Whisper] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠ I guess he was trying to say sorry because there were 99 apples, right?

Captain Poseidon paused for a while before replying to Yeo-woon’s sarcasm.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: I’m sorry, but could you please forward that mail to me as is?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Sure, hehe.

This was the only thing Yeo-woon was waiting for.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I sent you the mail^-^

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Thank you!

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I am more grateful^^

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Sorry for bothering you by getting involved in the middle.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Oh, not at all, ㅜㅜ

Please handle it well.

T/N: Apple in Korean actually sounds/pronounced the same as apology in Korean.
