Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Even among the Republic of Korea’s awakeners there was a kind of ranking.

This was measured through the history active until now and a kind of recognition.

Terror Guild’s annihilator Choi Seonghyeok, Iron Blood Guild’s bloodborn Kim Taeyang, Gojoseon Guild’s saintess Hamin etc.

Even among numerous awakeners superstars existed, and people longed for such superstars.

“Nice to meet! I’m Ino Junichi who came from Japan! Hathathat!”

And Ino Junichi possessing the title immortal was Japan’s superstar.

Among older awakeners receiving overwhelming support and looking at the achievements until now a person thought natural to the degree.

...But such a person acknowledging me?

“Nice to meet...?”

For now greeted back but still the thought not following. Is this some hidden camera? Actually not Ino Junichi but impersonating?

To begin with speaking Korean fluently from the start suspicious.

‘Appearance clearly Ino Junichi right...’

Exactly the appearance seen on TV.

Knew occasionally visits Korea but never this?

When I flustered Han Seokjun casually lowered his head.

“Suddenly visiting really sorry. Also offer deep apology words to the orphanage people.”

“No, no. Please enter inside.”

Director Wi Jihye guided the people inside.

But Kang Hanul and Ino Junichi seemed no thought of entering.

“Don’t tell me that...!”

Hyung Hanul looked at the food remaining in the container then turned the gaze to me.

“What I brought right.”

“Can eat?”

“Remaining but, if even that okay no matter.”

“Ooh! Thank you!”

Then Ino Junichi also approached me and said with a subtle air.

“Can I eat a bit too?”

“Yes. Remaining all eat fine. But Korean really well.”

“Because there is exchange separately learned. Knew Ara Hongryeon from the early days. Hahat.”

Junichi who was smiling awkwardly but soon startled at hyung Hanul’s scream-like exclamation.

“Aaaaniii!!!”

Jeong Soyeon as if guessed that appearance shook her head.

“2nd team leader. Here not our guild?”

“How can endure eating such delicious thing! Can’t understand! Why can younger brother Gyuseong’s food become more delicious?!”

At hyung Hanul’s reaction Junichi put one piece of pizza in the mouth in one go. Then widened both eyes and looked at me.

“...!”

The mouth was chewing without rest but the gaze continuously chased me. Uh? Guild master Han Seokjun also stealthily eating.

“First time eating such food in life! Th, is this really a taste a person can make?!”

How excited the Korean tangled Junichi. And guild members smiling as if anticipated such his reaction were visible.

“Uahaha! How, Junichi! In the Republic of Korea no less younger brother Gyuseong exists! As long as younger brother Gyuseong exists no country can surpass our country!”

“Kueuk!”

Junichi made a resentful expression and the face reddened. Wondering if angry and examining Junichi picked one sweet potato mattang and performed an anger eating broadcast.

“Umma~~~!!”

What sound.

While making a cow moo-like exclamation swept the remaining food like a bulldozer.

At that appearance hyung Hanul startled and shouted.

“Junichi, this guy...!”

Then fierce food fighting started.

No almost started.

“Kheuk! Only this much...”

Regrettably not many remaining food.

Ultimately hyung Hanul and Junichi who could eat to the extent of tasting the taste quite regretting and sucked fingers.

“Hoo, awakener Lee Gyuseong.”

“Yes. Junichi nim.”

“By any chance no thought of coming over to Japan? Using all my authority promise the best treatment.”

“Haha... Words thankful but sorry.”

Seeing trying to recruit from the start eyes seemed turned. Of course knowing it’s a joke so could respond smiling.

“Hey! Junichi!”

But hyung Hanul seemed heard as serious.

“Dare covet our younger brother Gyuseong? To take younger brother Gyuseong have to pass me first!”

“Hahahat! Grew a lot, Kang Hanul. Shall we stick like before sometime once? If I win I’ll take awakener Lee Gyuseong.”

Watching the joke between the two smiling then casually looked beside something unusual.

Guild master Han Seokjun with a stiffened face, and Miss Soyeon also with a tense expression alternately examining me and those two.

‘No, not a joke?’

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Ultimately I stepped forward and mediated.

“I... not a joke?”

“Hmph! Junichi, that guy not a person to joke! Sincerely tried to take younger brother!”

“Hathathat! Looking at these foods’ item effects anyone can’t help but greed! Moreover taste excellent so absolutely couldn’t endure!”

Still the momentum of strong people felt around.

Then Han Seokjun who was only watching quietly stepped one step forward.

“Mr. Gyuseong already politely refused. Let’s stop the joke here.”

“Kr hmm! Sorry, awakener Lee Gyuseong. The joke went too far.”

Junichi who seemed not to bend for some reason apologized. The appearance of casually checking slender Han Seokjun’s eyes unexpected.

‘Scared of the guild master?’

Han Seokjun who seized the atmosphere in one go looked a bit different. Come to think of it the guild master also had skill in the prime.

But the world’s grade 8 awakener Junichi scared of our guild master?

Anyway seemed something I don’t know.

“...Please come play to Japan once. I’ll treat once.”

“Hey, Junichi.”

Nevertheless whether a bit of regret remained Junichi handing a business card to me. Even that appearance not to liking hyung Hanul said something but Junichi steadfastly delivered the business card.

For me if connections increase good.

“Sorry for the sudden visit. We’ll return now.”

Ara Hongryeon’s people and Junichi took photos once with the orphanage children and prepared to leave.

Ending the schedule even the sudden meeting quite interesting amid hyung Hanul stealthily asked.

“Is it the end?”

“Yes?”

“No more possessed?”

Aigo, seemed quite regretting.

But this time regrettably really all ran out.

Usually spare snacks Ara eats but today because much luggage even that none.

“Umm, regrettable but nothing can be done. Let’s aim for the next opportunity.”

“Yes. A, by any chance when will the guest return to Japan?”

“Busy guy so probably leave right tomorrow.”

At hyung Hanul’s answer Junichi nodded. Then suddenly looked at me with a don’t tell me expression.

“By any chance if staying more in Korea can eat more of awakener Lee Gyuseong’s cooking?”

“I also not much leeway but thinking can treat about once.”

“Ooh! Then willingly stay more! If taking several days can return to Japan and come again! Hathathat!”

Even leaving the orphanage other guild members who were hearing our conversation perked both ears.

I carrying sleepy Ara on the back said.

“How about tomorrow?”

“Somehow make time!”

“I also time many, younger brother!”

“Me also okay?”

Junichi and hyung Hanul, and even Miss Soyeon.

Not saying but guild master Han Seokjun’s eyes also shining.

“Then see you at the guild building tomorrow morning.”

“Ooh! Really? Thank you, younger brother Gyuseong!”

Tried to treat the guest but somehow hyung Hanul seemed happier.

I caught by hyung Hanul shaking left and right made a troubled smile.

“Ah! By any chance can I call my younger brother?”

“Younger brother? Younger brother Gyuseong had a younger brother?”

“Yes. A guy who cooks, the guy who knows best about my crops. If not rude can my younger brother cook?”

“Of course! Fine right, hyung?”

At hyung Hanul’s words the guild master smiled and nodded.

Unexpectedly involving the younger brother but rather than only researching at home seeing other people’s reactions the skill will improve right?

“Um, I have a dedicated chef brought from Japan by any chance if okay can the younger brother of awakener Lee Gyuseong learn one hand?”

“A, rather I want to request from my side. My younger brother also seems to learn a lot.”

If Ino Junichi’s dedicated chef clearly an amazing skilled person. Probably a chef called master or expert degree in Japan.

If cooking with such a person Jaeseong also will learn a lot. But receive that much pressure too.

‘First ask then if saying want to do bring.’

Then for now return to the dungeon and prepare materials first. An unexpected schedule but not bad.

Because all could become the cornerstone for the restaurant Jaeseong will set up. Because the people here could become future customers.

“Then see you tomorrow!”

* * *

-No, hyung! What is that...?

Contacting Jaeseong and saying the event tomorrow showed a startled reaction.

“If not nothing can be done. No need to come particularly.”

-Umm...

“A, and there is an awakener from Japan called Ino Junichi right? That person has a dedicated chef and that chef also participates.”

-Ino Junichi? I’ll search once.

The call paused for a moment.

In the meantime I also casually searched about Ino Junichi, just in time people related to him also searched together.

‘Shimomoto Orie?’

And the information of the dedicated chef Junichi mentioned also came out. Unexpectedly a young woman and looking at the career quite gorgeous.

‘Swept all awards. Plus age difference with us not much so Jaeseong will be intimidated?’

Seeing a similar age achieving much more excellent results and achievements Jaeseong won’t be discouraged.

But differently from such my expectation Jaeseong’s voice heard beyond the receiver was extremely excited.

-Hyung! I’ll unconditionally go!

“Yeah?”

-Uh! Never thought Shimomoto Orie is in Korea!

“A person you know?”

-Of course! Among people sincere about cooking no one doesn’t know? Young age but a cooking genius who swept all various cooking competitions! Never thought I’d see such a person directly...

Such an amazing person.

In awakener industry terms an amazing rookie of a famous overseas guild?

-Hyung, really thank you! Wow, damn. Have to get an autograph tomorrow.

“...Jaeseong, not going to a fan meeting but going to cook. Don’t misunderstand?”

-Of course! Absolutely won’t disappoint!

Seeing Jaeseong this excited seemed a long time. The speaking air like going to see an idol usually cheered.

-No.

“What?”

-Hyung! I’ll go to hyung’s dungeon now.

“What? Now? Night late?”

-Have to prepare in advance! Tomorrow morning right!

Anyway seemed properly lit fire in Jaeseong’s heart.
