Chapter 47

Chapter 47

“This will probably be the last. Actually no more needed but just in case receiving more.”

Hyung Yeongseong met after several days was grinning.

Hearing sister-in-law’s treatment ended and currently lightly rehabilitating he said.

“Really good, hyung.”

“All thanks to you. You are our couple’s lifelong benefactor.”

Since almost all better sometime I should visit hyung Yeongseong’s house. They must have suffered a lot until now but I wanted to see the appearance of the two living happily directly.

‘Never thought my ability would help this much. Indeed good that I didn’t give up.’

A smile came out naturally.

Following me when hyung Yeongseong made a bright smile Ara held in my arms who was carefully examining his expression grinned following.

“Hehe.”

“...Kr, kr hmm. Cu, cute. Were you well, Ara?”

“Hehehe.”

Somehow hyung Yeongseong seemed scared of Ara since the power measurement last time.

How he is scared looking at this cute child I absolutely couldn’t understand but since he was Ara Hongryeon’s former research director I understood.

‘Extreme T right.’

Thinking something that might be rude alone I watched hyung Yeongseong struggling with Ara. Ara also seemed having fun stealthily poking hyung Yeongseong.

Secretly has a mischievous side too.

“By the way never thought our Gyuseong would contract with Ara Hongryeon that has connection with me. Previously couldn’t even think...”

“Thinking now it seems thanks to hyung.”

“What? What did I do?”

“Because when hard one of the people who helped the most was hyung. Received the biggest help next to family.”

“What sound is this now! Don’t say such sounds making the atmosphere strange for no reason.”

The twitching corner of the mouth while awkward was impressive. Unlike the words an honest body.

“Compared to what you did for me that’s really a trivial matter. Is that dare comparable?”

Calm the corner of the mouth first and speak, hyung.

Watching the appearance of barely holding the smile laughter leaked without knowing.

But seeing Ara beside awkwardly following hyung Yeongseong’s expression ultimately burst.

“Pahahaha.”

“Hehehe. Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong laughing strangely.”

Don’t say others, Ara.

You also grinning appearance is not easy.

“Ah! Gyuseong. Come to think of it I didn’t say to surprise you but today...”

Knock knock knock!

Matching the timing hyung Yeongseong was trying to say something a knock sound rang.

“Director Choi Yeongseong, Iron Blood Guild’s guests have arrived.”

“Iron Blood Guild?”

When I tilted my head and looked at hyung Yeongseong he was fully excited with an expression that finally what was coming came.

“Please guide this way.”

“Understood.”

The sound outside the door became distant again.

In the meantime I asked hyung what this matter is.

“Iron Blood Guild? Did you set an appointment?”

“Yeah. You also know where Iron Blood Guild is right?”

“Of course. These days the guild competing for 1st in our country with Terror Guild rising as a new power right.”

Ara Hongryeon was also sufficiently amazing but honestly high in symbolism not the image of the best.

But the Iron Blood Guild that arrived now was counted as one of the best guilds in our country in name and reality.

‘But why asked to guide this way?’

Thinking of yielding the seat for now I stood up holding Ara in arms.

“Hm? Where going?”

“Seems you have an appointment so trying to get up first. Ah! Next time can I stop by hyung’s house once?”

“No, if you go what to do?”

“Yes? What’s that...”

Then once more a knock sound was heard and the door naturally opened. Then the guild master of Iron Blood Guild, no the representative I had seen on TV or internet sometime revealed his appearance.

“Hm?”

White-haired old man, Baek Taeseop and the person assisting him entered together.

A face that couldn’t not know because famous. An awakener who ran directly as active until 20 years ago, now more famous as the founder of Iron Blood Guild.

“Have you come, representative.”

“Eeh, yeah. Yeongseong have you been well?”

For now should I greet first?

Thinking the situation became quite troublesome and about to bow my waist.

“White!”

Ara reacted first.

“Hm? Cute little young lady.”

“Hehe. I’m cute. But not little Ara!”

“Hehehe.”

Baek Taeseop examined Ara with a warm gaze as if seeing a grandchild. Eyes wanting to approach and hug Ara any moment.

“Th, hello. Iron Blood Guild’s representative, right?”

“Yes, yes. Right. I’m Baek Taeseop. Nice to meet.”

“A, I’m Lee Gyuseong. Honored to meet.”

“I’m Ara!”

Thanks to Ara I succeeded in greeting naturally. In the meantime Ara struggled and came down from my arms and approached Baek Taeseop.

“White.”

“Hehe, grandpa’s head is white right? Want to try touching once?”

“Yeah!”

Baek Taeseop held Ara who did a hurrah and made the gesture of asking to lift her.

Then Ara looked around Baek Taeseop’s head here and there and messed it up madly.

“Hehe.”

“Hehehe.”

Really an atmosphere like grandpa and granddaughter.

The person who came together to assist Baek Taeseop was watching that appearance with a nervous face worrying just in case Ara makes a mistake.

Me? I didn’t worry.

Ara looks young and cute but a kid with fairly deep thoughts.

‘...Too doting?’

In the meantime another person opened the door wide without knocking and entered.

“Ooh! All together here!”

“Hyung Hanul?”

“Oh, yeah! Younger brother Gyuseong! Finally the heart to contract with our guild arose! Uahaha! Good, good! Welcome entering Ara Hongryeon!”

Hyung Hanul who spat the words not even caring that Baek Taeseop was right beside saw Baek Taeseop playing with Ara and shouted.

“Old man! No, if came have to greet came ignoring me!”

“Hehe, still no manners, Hanul. If saw me shouldn’t you guy bow your head first?”

“Hmph! Don’t know what wind blew and suddenly came but roughly stay and quickly return!”

The tone toward each other was quite rough but seeing the nuance they seemed living without much formality. Well in the past I seemed to have heard they often went dungeon subjugation together.

“By the way Mr. Lee Gyuseong seeing for the first time today came to join Ara Hongryeon Guild?”

“Yes? Yes, that’s right.”

Suddenly Baek Taeseop whose interest concentrated on me still holding Ara in arms asked me.

“Hmm, I’ve been so busy these days so never heard stories about Mr. Gyuseong, but by any chance asking the awakener grade wouldn’t be rude?”

Ah, seeing now because joining Ara Hongryeon he suddenly became curious.

I fully understood.

As the saying even rotten is still a fish after sister-in-law Siyoung’s poisoning couldn’t exert power as before but strictly Ara Hongryeon belonged to our country’s top 5 guilds.

An awakener joining such a guild, that too predator Kang Hanul directly acknowledging might have looked amazing to Baek Taeseop.

“Hey! Younger brother Gyuseong is ours! Don’t covet!”

“Hehe. Just a newly met connection so asked because curious. If burdensome no need to answer, Mr. Gyuseong.”

Then Ara held in arms shouted.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong is amazing! Great Lord!”

“Uing?”

At Ara’s sudden words I smiled awkwardly and answered the previous question first.

“Might be disappointing but I’m a grade 1 awakener.”

“Grade 1?”

Not only Baek Taeseop but the person who seemed his secretary also made a face of amazing. Then soon apologized with a face of having been rude.

“A, not that I belittled Mr. Gyuseong. Just because a grade 1 awakener joining Ara Hongryeon itself is rare so surprised. Rather amazing.”

Thinking the representative of Iron Blood Guild would be a bit more arrogant person, even toward me a grade 1 awakener there was no such appearance at all.

Thanks to that I waved my hand pleasantly and said.

“No. Just Ara Hongryeon side viewed me well.”

“Hmm, hard to believe. Probably separately from being grade 1 possessing a quite special ability I think.”

Momentarily Baek Taeseop’s eyes shone sharply.

Until before if like a neighborhood grandpa of a cozy impression now he became an intense person fitting the position of Iron Blood Guild’s representative.

“Up to there, old man. Stop digging.”

Hyung Hanul casually stepped forward and blocked Baek Taeseop’s field of vision. Then the person who seemed Baek Taeseop’s secretary stepped forward coldly.

“Mr. Kang Hanul, hope you don’t do more rude words to our representative. Enduring also has a limit.”

“Oho? If not enduring what will you do? Shall we have a match?”

Suddenly the atmosphere turns strangely again.

Casually looked at hyung Yeongseong but he was packing something as if a person with no interest in this quarrel.

Paper? Documents? Anyway together with miscellaneous papers he turned on the laptop beside and was doing other work.

“Why fighting?”

Then Ara who was still in Baek Taeseop’s arms tilted her head.

In an instant the cold atmosphere melted.

“Nothing. Just played a joke a bit.”

“Get along.”

Ara with a stern attitude crossed her arms and advised toward people. At that appearance ultimately Baek Taeseop’s expression melted.

“Haa, really if having a granddaughter like our Ara how good it would be.”

Mr. Taeseop? ‘Our’ Ara?

Amid me watching with both eyes wide Baek Taeseop turned the topic and asked me.

“By the way awakener Gyuseong brought a daughter. A rare matter.”

“Daughter...”

Misunderstandable.

Hyung Hanul and hyung Yeongseong who already know Ara’s identity smirked.

“Hm? By any chance not daughter?”

Baek Taeseop who saw my ambiguous reaction and the two’s smirking reaction tilted his head and asked.

Then Ara said.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong is lord! Uuum... dad?”

“Yes. I’m dad right.”

Not even married and no girlfriend but Ara is my daughter right, yeah yeah.

To begin with even when Ara first saw me she called dad. Of course a daughter much older than me.

‘Did she say 3,500 years old...’

Don’t know if joke or serious but there is a memory of muttering such words vaguely.

“Oho, married at a young age.”

“Yes? Yes, that...”

Thud.

At the sudden noise turning the gaze at the door side guild master Han Seokjun and Jeong Soyeon were standing.

From when were they there?

“Ara is Mr. Gyuseong’s daughter?”

Before greeting Jeong Soyeon’s words full of surprise rang the reception room.
