Chapter 117

The event’s progress order starting from the orphanage all’s thanks greeting and new year greeting then sponsor representative’s congratulatory speech, children’s chorus, talent show, exhibition and introduction of artworks the orphanage children made during the past year.

And our Ara’s performance around the middle of that.

“Late.”

Jeong Soyeon watching the event casually confirming the clock and saying. As her words guild master Han Seokjun and hyung Hanul leaving the seat quite long.

“Other guild masters also appearance not visible probably together? Doing business related story or...”

“Um, can be so but our guild master not the person to do business story in such place...”

Gradually Ara’s order approaching amid just in time tiger also comes if saying own words guild master and hyung Hanul returned.

And beside that familiar Iron Blood’s representative Baek and Terror’s Johann Rothschild first seeing in real.

‘Wow, even looking like this not realizing.’

Figures not exaggeration to say moving our country’s political and business world. Of course rather than actually moving the expression of influence tremendous right.

Thanks to that the media side people gathered in the hall’s flash baptism pouring. The composition of prominent figures overlapping together appearance unable not to take photo.

Amid the event in progress for a long time also meeting slight lull state hyung Hanul sat beside me.

“Troublesome, troublesome.”

“What matter?”

“Ryu Cheon came.”

“...Yes?”

Moment thinking misheard and asked back.

Jeong Soyeon also thinking hyung joking and shaking head.

“Joke really.”

“Not joke. Just you know.”

“Really?”

Saying that far Jeong Soyeon also tempted and asked again. Hyung Hanul casually making a bothersome expression and greatly nodding instead of answering.

“No the promised date tomorrow why...”

Jeong Soyeon speaking suddenly pausing and looking at me. And me also having something guessing looking at Seona.

Seona mindless diligently watching famous awakeners.

“Seona.”

“Uh? Yeah?”

“By any chance somewhere informed Ara performing?”

“Uh. Noticed on nutube?”

“Aa.”

Anyway if hyung’s words fact.

Ryu Cheon high probability came to see Ara. Even me surprising degree ardent fan liking Ara.

Anyway intending to come to Korea so coming one or two days early not becoming problem right.

...Not becoming problem, right?

Thud.

“Hm?”

Someone bringing chair and suddenly sitting beside me. At the sudden action wondering who confirming face...

“Ki, Kim Taeyang!”

“Hello, Mr. Gyuseong. Nice to meet?”

“A, so, sorry. Nice to meet.”

How this matter. Why Kim Taeyang here...

Looking around to form empathy other people also all sending surprised gazes.

“Heup.”

Seona completely stopped even breath and froze.

Then hyung Hanul frowning and scolding.

“Heo, this junior a bit arrogant?”

“Why, senior. Cute junior came not welcoming.”

“Cute junior? Where looking you cute.”

“Face?”

Looking at speaking shamelessly smiling to fierce looking hyung Hanul spirit extremely strong seeming. Actually unlike cute impression appearance Bloodborn, the awakener of ferocious nature to the extent alias born from blood attached exactly him.

“Awakener Kim Taeyang?”

“Aigo, representative.”

Before I knew it approached Baek Taeseop shining both eyes as if warning. No matter Kim Taeyang running wild even he unable to ignore representative Baek whether casually standing from the seat.

“Sorry, Mr. Gyuseong.”

“No.”

“Our awakener Kim Taeyang said wanting to meet Mr. Gyuseong once sometime but too urgent and ended up burdening.”

Even while Baek Taeseop speaking Kim Taeyang looking at me with an interesting face.

“Hmm, talent even Machonru eyeing! Seeming more popular than me a bit jealous. Haha.”

“...”

Anyway the reason these people not visible seeming because met Ryu Cheon and came. But somehow firmly misunderstood air.

‘Clearly not me but came to see Ara.’

While scratching head the delayed event resumed. Now gradually our Ara’s turn to come out.

No matter amazing people gathered here honestly not that interested. I have to see Ara’s dance!

-Then, this order! Time for our baby angels to show the dance skill polished for a long period!

“Ooh! Ara’s turn!”

Without knowing excited and raising voice attention slightly concentrated. Awkwardly smiling and slightly lowering head as apology meaning.

“Ara?”

Then another figure reacting to my shout. Strangely familiar voice.

Turning gaze some woman seated near the stage visible. Wearing extremely suspicious hat and mask, even sunglasses but anyone looking Ryu Cheon.

“...”

Don’t tell me that disguise said.

No way. No way the world’s Machonru Guild sent so sloppily.

Right that moment children running out on the stage. And among them Ara with awkwardly hardened expression mixed.

“I, I, I’ll go briefly.”

Seona with urgent voice holding camera and running out and immediately seated right beside Ryu Cheon. Ryu Cheon also from the moment Ara came out not caring about identity exposed whether sunglasses off state.

Looking at going to film Ara even neglecting the famous awakeners liked so really true love. No less changing even the taste of younger sister who was awakener maniac gradually scary Ara’s cuteness.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

With the clapping sound matching the beat the song starting to come out. And the children standing on the stage starting to dance matching the song, no exercise.

“Oh my, cute.”

“That kid, that kid who active at the Yongsan accident not?”

“Don’t tell me. No, right?”

Looking at Ara’s dance something subtly off beat visible. Funny thing even herself knowing that whether trying to follow somehow continuously visible.

“Ara! Don’t panic and slowly! Even now sufficiently cute!”

Seona’s voice heard piercing the song sound.

I also casually standing from the seat and joining beside Ryu Cheon and Seona.

“Our Ara does well!”

Until then Ara busy following the dance looking at other children late discovering me and Seona and smiling widely.

Seeming wanting to say something mumbling mouth but whether tight just following the dance ultimately unable to spit out.

Still awkward dance moves. But rather that only feeling cute. Because my kid?

But no matter looking Ara the cutest.

Even saying parent no use. Really the cutest what to do?!

Fortunately the movement line not tangled and even if half beat slow followed well. And finally the song stopping and the exercise ending.

Clap clap clap clap.

“Uwaa.”

“Did well, everyone!”

Receiving people’s cheers the children lowering waist. Ara not knowing even ended and showing dance movements to the best until the end then casually greeting.

“Too cute...”

Ryu Cheon unable to close the opened mouth and muttering. Then diligently waving hands and acknowledging to Ara.

“A, young lady. Hat...”

“Have to receive signature.”

“No, not that the hat seeming to come off, young lady!”

Ryu Cheon turning head with a whoosh with expression of what sound that. Then as Yoo Bihong’s words the hat falling and soon pure white hair flowing down like waterfall.

“Uh?”

“Wow, what? Celebrity?”

“...That don’t tell me?”

Really moment’s silence.

And the media reporters gathered here mostly ones specializing in covering awakeners.

They immediately recognized who Ryu Cheon.

“Ma, Machonru?!!”

“Ryu Cheon!!”

Hehe.

The orphanage changing into chaos in an instant.

* * *

[Special report! Machonru Guild to Korea?!]

[World’s youngest grade 8 awakener Ryu Cheon, ‘There is a person I admire in Korea...’ Surprise visit to Korea!]

“He, really.”

Baek Taeseop confirming the news shaking head.

Then soon asking Kim Taeyang beside.

“How.”

“Which side?”

“Both.”

At Baek Taeseop’s words Kim Taeyang swirling the alcohol glass then soon drinking at once. Then quietly bursting keu admiration and saying.

“This received from Ara Hongryeon said? Don’t tell me this also Lee Gyuseong’s skill?”

“Probably.”

“Kyaa, not to ignore. Indeed our Seunghyeon also the unprecedented awakener who fixed.”

Kim Taeyang the drinker able to boast drank almost all alcohol existing in the world. But the alcohol newly made this time and received through Kang Hanul presented him a different experience.

“If only giving one bottle alcohol can even jump as dungeon support mercenary.”

“That exactly Mr. Gyuseong’s scary point. Possessing special ability others not have. And from now Mr. Gyuseong’s ability will develop more, and like this gradually expand the area.”

Baek Taeseop speaking and confirming some document.

There the report on why Machonru came to Korea written.

“Knew awakener Ryu Cheon sick right?”

“Yes.”

“Prediction that Mr. Gyuseong might treat that came out.”

“Oh, if not that degree matter herself not directly come right. Our princess busy and body not good.”

“So how the remaining one?”

“Can win seeming?”

Kim Taeyang casually raising mouth corner.

That appearance too well matching.

“Not all grade 8 the same grade 8.”

“Um? Grade 8?”

“...Not asking impression about Ryu Cheon?”

Somehow words crossed the two blankly looking at each other. Ultimately Kim Taeyang moving first and pouring one more glass of alcohol.

“Drink sparingly. Precious.”

“No, representative. I Bloodborn. Confirm transfer to another place?”

“Contract period still 8 years remaining.”

“Yeah, paying money and leaving fine.”

Like that briefly arguing about pouring alcohol half or what then soon returned to the topic.

“So representative, if not Ryu Cheon asking impression about whom?”

“Of course Miss Ara.”

“...Miss Ara? Who that.”

“Didn’t see the exercise? Thanks to that awakener Ryu Cheon’s identity exposed not?”

“Representative, now seriously asking?”

“Of course.”

Kim Taeyang losing words and briefly swirling the glass.

Enjoying the subtly spreading scent and organizing thoughts he asking with a rather dark expression.

“Know the age wanting to see grandchild, but such thing have to request to Seunghyeon. How our representative became like this.”

“Hehe, I not joking now.”

“No, even asking how I should have been able to confirm. Or give notice in advance.”

Ara? The kid with animal ears.

And as he knowing also the kid who resolved the accident occurred in Yongsan.

‘Knowing as Lee Gyuseong’s familiar...’

Particularly nothing special.

If necessarily the point of body clumsy? Don’t know how such body clumsy defeated physical type awakener.

“Really no guess why I asked?”

“What on earth? Really don’t know.”

“Awakener Kim Taeyang, the person to wear the director position of Steelblood Entertainment next month really nothing guessing?”

“Eeh?”

Kim Taeyang making a rare flustered voice.

“No that just making the seat not? I really participate in management and manage too?”

“Yes?”

“A, no...”

No wait. Let’s say that.

But there why Lee Gyuseong’s familiar coming out?

“Director Kim Taeyang?”

“I not director yet.”

“Recently the era awakener same as celebrity. That if director with much popularity and much filming experience know better right.”

“That right.”

“Then. Even awakener the situation no law saying familiar not come out not?”

“Uh?”

Thinking right seeming.

Until now awakener appearing on TV or various media but seeming no time familiar appeared.

“Look at this.”

Baek Taeseop taking out phone and showing something. Kim Taeyang casually examining there the video of the kid named Ara seen before coming out.

“Nutube?”

“No less 700,000 subscribers. Of course compared to awakener Kim Taeyang’s SNS follower number far insufficient but looking at nutube creation date amazing growth rate.”

“Hmm.”

Confirming the video not only Ara coming out but cute bear and peaceful sensibility slimes frequently appearing.

If such cute familiars certainly competitive seeming.

“Awakener popularity proportional to that power. But look at the familiars. Even if power weak if cute sells. Exactly like cute pet.”

“Really scary person. From when made such plan?”

“From after knowing Ara. Absolutely not envying because my familiars look scary.”

“Envied.”

Words joke style but certainly business potential visible. And the foundation to take the first step also the current visible situation.

“Nutube owner Lee Gyuseong?”

“Knowing younger sister as owner.”

“For now have to contact. Direction of contracting.”

“Ooh, heart to do arising?”

“Have to work hard so seeming able to obtain alcohol.”

Kim Taeyang glaring at the alcohol bottle placed on Baek Taeseop’s table with half-closed eyes.

“But for now, from next month. I not wearing director position yet.”

“No established fact.”

“Don’t know. Want to rest a bit more. Then I’ll go~!”

While doing so again quickly pouring alcohol in the glass and fleeing.

“He, that precious!”

Not joke.

Baek Taeseop also sincerely cherishing Gyuseong’s alcohol.
