Chapter 171

“Tada!”

“Ooo!”

Badge attached on Ara’s chest.

Here Awakener Headquarters. Came due to the incident arisen the previous day.

“Brave citizen award ceremony also.”

“Ooo!!”

Ara expressing the pounding mood with fully excited voice. Appearance of clenching both fists and trembling cute.

“...Contributing large to public order maintenance so awarding this.”

“Hehehe.”

Not really receiving brave citizen award but a kind of event for Ara. In the meantime we conversing separately on one side.

Of course conversation briefly stopped due to Ara’s cute reaction. Staff also all liking Ara so work briefly paralyzed.

“Kr heum, continuing the story the suspect near Mr. Gyuseong’s residence the previous day determined French nationality person.”

“France?”

“Yes. Not all information out yet but according to circumstantial evidence thought European Awakener Union side person.”

European Awakener Union.

Name often heard recently.

‘Guessing.’

Already knowing the information of clearing anger’s dungeon. So necessarily finding me meaning wanting my crops.

Just that method not very good.

Approaching like this no choice but to wary as me.

“Anyway we will try best to find out. When accurate identity and affiliation revealed probably respond at government level so don’t worry.”

“...Yes.”

The words government level response more worrying.

Even wanting to pass smoothly that hard.

Anyway national image problem too.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Look this!”

“Hm? A, award! Indeed our Ara. Amazing.”

“He! He! He!”

Ara running trotting with badge attached and handing the award. And staff watching that appearance beside making unknown sound.

“Haa, too cute.”

“Wanting to pinch cheeks.”

“Look those ears. Perking!”

Indeed popular here too.

Moreover due to the aftermath of last Nutube video soon known appearing in drama so degree no one not knowing in awakening industry.

Thanks to that Ara receiving numerous interests and mood good and wandering here and there and acting cute.

“Will contact as more information coming out. Or share through guild entirely? Then no need to attend headquarters.”

“A, then do so.”

Story wrapping up and me taking Ara and coming out. Headquarters staff said will take on the way but politely refused.

“Ara, let’s go see car!”

“Ooh! Finally buying!”

Always inconvenienced no car and finally going to buy car.

Not no money and postponed until now but just in time parking space arising due to construction around dungeon and decided to buy right away.

Beep!

“Mr. Gyuseong!”

“Eh?”

But as soon as coming out of building someone appearing as if waiting so no choice but to stop.

Bloodborne Kim Taeyang.

Representative of Steel Blood Entertainment under Iron Blood Group and Iron Blood’s director. Grade 8 awakener our country’s highest level.

Calling me with baby face always cute looking.

“Ride!”

“Why awakener Kim Taeyang here...”

“Waited at the news Mr. Gyuseong visiting Awakener Headquarters. Fine time briefly for work talk?”

“Yes!”

Approaching the vehicle Ara jumping then entering through the open window.

“Hello?”

“Haha, Ara. Energetic today too!”

“Yeah! Look this!”

Ara sitting in passenger seat immediately boasting the award. Me entering following passenger seat with troubled face and seating Ara on knee.

“Let’s see. You... Oh! Brave citizen award! Ara received?”

“Yeah! Me protected Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”

“Right! If not our Ara Mr. Gyuseong almost big matter. Thanks to safe. Well done, Ara.”

Not wrong words.

If not Ara not even sensing the transparent opponent and even if sensed paralyzed by poison.

But our Ara not working transparency and not working poison. Almost same as all-purpose awakener.

Of course able to exert wit of copying Ara’s ability using great lord’s majesty but anyway randomly drawn ability...

“Director fine a bit? Aftereffects like hit by poison yesterday...”

“Kr heum.”

Kim Taeyang suddenly coughing hard.

Looking now seeming a bit ashamed the fact poisoned and received help from me.

Natural that grade 8 awakener, moreover awakener attached terrifying alias Bloodborne (born from blood) hardened as is just touching Ara’s cheek a bit.

Moreover Ara moving fine even hit by such powerful poison so pride hurt natural.

“Th, tell anytime.”

“Yes? What?”

“Antidote’s price.”

“No! Because of us so unable to receive price.”

“Th... haa. No.”

Kim Taeyang starting to drive the car whether shame only enlarging even saying more. But seeming driving car directly without attendants.

“After meeting end will escort to home. By any chance other schedule?”

“No separate promise, just thought buy car a bit.”

“Car? Vehicle?”

“Yes.”

As soon as words ending Kim Taeyang calling somewhere. Soon Kim Taeyang saying toward the opponent receiving call.

“Fine bringing guest a bit at store closing time?”

-Of course, director.

“Yes. Then see later.”

Simply call ending.

And me asking just in case.

“Just call...?”

“A, told our Iron Blood car store. Let’s go together later.”

“Thank you.”

Received help somehow.

Not particularly thinking Iron Blood side brand but since became like this look around.

‘Iron Blood mostly high-end vehicles not even thinking.’

Of course not no money.

But necessarily high-end brand vehicle? thought of purchasing appropriate cost-performance vehicle.

If Kim Taeyang introducing discount?

“Car vroom vroom.”

“Ara also look once. Director going together.”

“Ooh! Kim Taeyang going together!”

Kim Taeyang glancing at excited Ara and snorting and laughing.

Soon entering Steel Blood Enter building located not that far from Awakener Headquarters.

Indeed entertainment agency building so extremely modern exterior architecture. Met several times but first coming to headquarters building.

Going up riding elevator through underground parking and stopping at 1st floor people boarding.

“Uh! Director!”

“Director, hello.”

One person seeming staff and woman of bright smile boarding. But somehow face familiar...

“Oh, just in time good. Here Ara and Ara’s guardian filming advertisement together.”

“Uh! Ara?!”

A, this person...

Living life far from mass media so not recognizing right away but this person actress Seo Ye-eun seeming.

Thought halo shining but indeed actress so? Amazing Ara filming together with such person.

“Mr. Gyuseong, this actress Seo Ye-eun.”

“Hello. Lee Gyuseong becoming Ara’s guardian.”

“A! Really nice to meet! Seo Ye-eun. And ate the garlic packed gratefully.”

“Garlic?”

When me tilting head Kim Taeyang smiling and saying.

“Me last time asked Mr. Gyuseong pack garlic a bit? That intending to give Miss Ye-eun.”

“A...”

Asked me for garlic to give Seo Ye-eun. But among many crops necessarily garlic?

‘Garlic’s effect... preventing drying?’

A kind of moisturizing effect.

What, seeming may help skin moisturizing. Actually skin cucumber but cucumber still hiding ability.

“Not other but meeting a bit in advance today and conversing a bit, um... Talking a bit about the advertisement to film.”

Looking at reaction seeming brought impromptu hearing the news me nearby.

Not particularly busy, and going together to car store later so me good.

“Hello?”

“Hello.”

“Speech really unique. Not only on Nutube.”

“My speech solemn.”

Ara suddenly posing with serious expression.

At that appearance Seo Ye-eun of course and the staff seeming manager together bursting laughter.

Seeming trying to look cool and solemn in own way but rather that appearance only felt cute.

‘Our Ara trivial...’

Appearance of our Ara exactly matching the words trivially cute.

“By the way Mr. Gyuseong, fine talking a bit separately with me later?”

“Yes? Yes. Of course. But what matter...”

“Matter related to yesterday.”

Barely managing the expression about to harden slightly at Kim Taeyang’s words.

“Representative Baek Taeseop said coming this way. Let’s talk together.”

* * *

European Awakener Union branches established in each member country’s capital.

Among them France and Germany, England. These three countries’ status different. Outwardly all claiming equality but possessed power different.

And here European Awakener Union England branch.

Someone receiving rough call in the office.

“That is ultimately caught now problem! What meaning success rate 100% until now sound!”

-No this matter only our France branch planned? All agreed so plan executed not?

“France who first gave opinion completely no responsibility this words?!”

-No then meaning our side fault. Sir Edward need to calm excitement a bit.

“Now teaching me!”

Call exchanging several high voices raising voice ultimately ending only marking time.

Edward ending call panting and grabbing throbbing forehead then throwing the object.

Crash!

“These useless guys!”

European Union currently various factions existing.

As multinational union hard opinions unifying, ultimately organization formed according to interests so no sticky cohesion.

Such France, Germany, England’s three countries leading until now but now even that creaking.

Knock knock!

“Who!”

“E, Sir Edward. Contact from China side.”

“China?”

Thinking sent people to several China guilds. Among them the most caring exactly Macheonru Guild.

Guild most colliding with stinginess among other China guilds.

So sent most carefully even personnel but where contact came.

“Huu. Come in.”

Soon door opening and Union staff entering.

Expression pale and restless but Edward mistook such staff because of self.

“Not venting so stop trembling and speak.”

“A, th, that...”

“Not angry?”

“Not that...”

Staff soon tightly closing both eyes and saying.

“Personnel sent to Macheonru side sent SOS.”

“Hm?”

Edward momentarily thinking misheard and tilting head. Anger filled to the top of head calming degree.

“Currently Macheonru side detaining said...”

“What sound that.”

“...Macheonru sent warning message too.”

Explanation more not understanding the more.

Edward seeming this dream. What sound the staff in front of eyes doing?

“Do, will definitely revenge the one touching colleague...”

“That is what nonsense that!!”

Why suddenly from Macheonru?

Edward seeming going crazy.
