Chapter 71
The sweet sweet potato scent subtly spread.
Mattang made with mana sweet potato unlike one made with sweet potato possessing mana couldn’t hide the high-class sweet scent.
“Waa, what smell is this?”
“Saliva doesn’t stop.”
Seeing people’s reactions I inwardly apologized for doing an unintended biochemical attack.
‘If taking out World Tree mushroom even this will be a fuss.’
This time with Gomgomi and Ara’s collaboration dug quite a lot of mushrooms before coming out of the dungeon.
Brought one as a gift but handing now seemed too much.
“Hyung Hanul, can move the seat a bit? Too many people.”
“Um? Uahaha! Fine! Not uncomfortable at all so just proceed!”
No hyung..., I’m uncomfortable.
Casually turning the gaze and looking at Jeong Soyeon she also mind stolen by sweet potato mattang and not hearing my words.
Well nothing can be done.
Just have to proceed feeling this gaze.
“Seona, let’s proceed the interview.”
“Uh, uh? Now?”
“Uh. Busy people so not many time.”
“A, right. I’ll prepare right away.”
Seona who relatively regained calm urged the group members in a hurry. Then amid the mindless the interview started progressing.
“Thank you very much for coming like this today. We are Korea University dungeon monster research department’s...”
The interview progressed in an instant.
And not the interviewers other ordinary students also lingered around and interestingly watched the interview.
“Waa, scout offers came from other places too! Then does awakener Jeong Soyeon have a reason for choosing Ara Hongryeon?”
“Because conditions good? Hihi, joke. Anyway connections.”
“Connections?”
“Yes. A place where a person I knew from before awakening is. From middle school had a connection with Ara Hongryeon Guild.”
“Ooh. Such an anecdote.”
Jeong Soyeon except the record of youngest grade 6 awakener no particular information released.
Because became a high grade awakener at a young age so careful but because of that anecdotes not known to the world gradually released awakeners otaku-like people around also perked ears and listening.
Most formal interviews ended and now trivial and private questions following in the meantime one student asked.
“Have a question for awakener Kang Hanul too.”
“Chep chep. Anytime.”
“Anytime!”
“Awakener Kang Hanul known as 1st generation awakener separately no thought of raising a successor?”
“Successor?”
“What is successor?”
Hyung Hanul eating the tomato I brought suddenly met gazes with me.
“Uum...”
“Uum!”
“Haha, hyung. Why looking at me anxiously.”
“My successor is this guy!”
“Me!”
At the sudden words of hyung Hanul everyone’s eyes widened. Until then even awakener Yu Hanbyeol who was together opened both eyes flashing.
No wait.
Why holding Ara up and saying successor or something, hyung.
Ara held by hyung Hanul like the baby lion of some animation was blank.
“Cu, cute...”
“But who is that kid? Why together with awakener Kang Hanul?”
“Don’t tell me daughter?”
Amid people’s murmuring continuing hyung Hanul opened the mouth big and laughed.
“Uahaha! Joke!”
“He! He! He! Joke!”
“Th, awakener Kang Hanul. By any chance is that child your daughter?”
At the question someone courageously threw everyone’s attention concentrated again.
“Yeah!”
“That?”
And hyung Hanul coolly spouted words that might misunderstand again.
“What words! Ara is our child!”
“...Seona...”
Unlike me who dismissed as of course another joke Seona who was organizing the interview lit both eyes and shouted.
Thanks to that people’s confusion increased.
“Se, Seona? Why suddenly?”
“Th, right. Unlike Seona such joke too...”
Seona’s friends couldn’t stay still at the sudden action of Seona. As ones unable to grasp hyung Hanul’s joke a natural reaction.
Ultimately Jeong Soyeon sighed and put both hands on the waist.
“2nd team leader.”
“What.”
“Stop teasing people a bit. Can’t see Mr. Gyuseong becoming troubled?”
“Aiku! Younger brother Gyuseong! By any chance troubled? I wronged!”
Hyung...
At least the gaze look toward me, still looking at the sweet potato mattang anxiously and saying what do I become.
Whether anxious I might snatch the food rolling the eyeballs here and there, wondering if the one in front of me the amazing awakener possessing the alias predator right.
“My dad is Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”
“Kr, kr hmm.”
Then Ara who suddenly burst a lion’s roar and came down from hyung Hanul’s grasp and ran trotting to me.
In an instant became a man with a child but thinking about it Ara is my child right.
‘Not a child born from the belly but?’
Hyung Hanul and Jeong Soyeon, and Seona who already know Ara is a slime smirked but the rest looked at us with interesting eyes.
“Seems some complicated story.”
“No, to begin with look at that girl. Tiger ears attached.”
“Don’t tell me early awakener?”
Already Ara Hongryeon side separately making Ara’s identity. Instead heard separately registering familiar the government does better but this time coming out together doing also good.
“Daughter extremely cute.”
“Yes? A, yes. Thank you.”
Suddenly Yu Hanbyeol approached and said.
She whether really interested in Ara gestured to Ara and greeted.
“Who are you!”
“Haha. Speech cute. Dad taught?”
For the first time a person pointing out the speech came out.
But unfortunately that speech not something I taught.
“My speech? Cool! Solemn!”
“Hahaha. Yeah, yeah. Extremely cool! What’s the name?”
“Ara!”
“Ara? Surname?”
“What is surname?”
Ara tilted head then looked up at me.
“Our Ara’s surname Lee. Lee Ara.”
“Lee Ara! I am Lee Ara! Forgot!”
Ara straightened the chest and said proudly.
Then Yu Hanbyeol laughed again.
“Can hug once?”
“If only Ara okay.”
When Yu Hanbyeol spread arms Ara approached her arms without resistance and tightly hugged. Seeing our Ara really has a lot of aegyo.
Jirit-!
Um? At the sudden chill felt looking beside Seona and Jeong Soyeon glaring at Yu Hanbyeol.
Seona likes Ara a lot so understanding but Jeong Soyeon not busy eating with hyung Hanul?
‘...Anyway did one thing.’
Saved our Seona’s face too and this degree a bit did oppa role right?
* * *
“What, this?”
Oseong Guild master Kim Yura who was reading internet articles in Oseong Guild tilted head seeing something.
“Ara Hongryeon executives guerrilla interview at Korea University? If Korea University not the place Hanbyeol went?”
The secretary who heard her question also said with a puzzled expression.
“Right. Just in time Hanbyeol also said going to do interview a bit due to acquaintance request.”
“But that interview not doing because of mere university assignment? Such thing Ara Hongryeon 1st, 2nd team leaders went?”
“Wasn’t university assignment? I’ll confirm once.”
“No. Here in the article also written visited because of university assignment. Really. Speechless. Recently free?”
Kim Yura made a hollow laugh then carefully examined the article again. And as expected not only herself but many people making a fuss about this matter.
Above all who on earth could mobilize such connections the hottest topic.
“Was Ara Hongryeon Guild relatives attending Korea University?”
Then just in time someone knocked the room’s door.
Knock knock.
“It’s Hanbyeol! I returned!”
“Oh, Hanbyeol. Just in time good. Come in and see.”
“Neng?”
The door opening Yu Hanbyeol with a puzzled expression entered.
“Why?”
“No why? Ara Hongryeon executives came to Korea University?”
“A! That.”
Yu Hanbyeol herself when first seeing Kang Hanul and Jeong Soyeon made a fuss topic shrugged shoulders as if nothing.
“Suddenly came. Thanks to that received autograph too. Tada!”
“...Aigo, this girl. Doing well.”
“Unnie Soyeon too and people I usually long for, hihi. A, of course guild master also respect.”
“Eujju? Unnie Soyeon? Now even words pierced?”
“Hihi.”
The awkward smile answered instead as if Kim Yura’s words right.
At that cute smile ultimately Kim Yura as if lost shook head.
“Haa, done. Not a big matter but curious. Who on earth called those two?”
“Um, probably a student named Lee Seona. Probably.”
“Lee Seona? First hearing?”
“A, this time Ara Hongryeon Guild has a newbie right.”
“Hm? A! That person who even quite a while since awakened still grade 1? Even so entered Ara Hongryeon and quite a topic. Because Ara Hongryeon not a guild that receives anyone.”
“Yes. That person probably requested I know. That person’s younger sister was Lee Seona.”
“What?”
Kim Yura whether heard wrong then soon smirked.
“You probably knew wrong. How that person uses those two. That too mere university assignment.”
“Yes?! Really. No right! That not the important thing!”
Yu Hanbyeol as if recalled the forgotten urgently said.
“That thing, that!”
“What? What is that?”
“Th, a, that...”
Yu Hanbyeol who suddenly stopped words soon as if recalled flashed and shouted.
“Food item!”
“A, that?”
But why that story coming out now?
Kim Yura who felt puzzlement soon could naturally speculate.
“Don’t tell me that that grade 1 awakener made?”
“Yes? A, not certain. But probably right.”
“Why think so?”
“That awakener offered food to Kang Hanul and unnie Soyeon like offering tribute! Th, the sweet potato mattang we also ate right? Besides that took out this and that!”
“A, seems right. That person right.”
Two questions solved at the same time.
Until now quite many stories circulated in the awakener industry about food that item display appears, knowing who the owner of that item also could know why Ara Hongryeon recruited a mere grade 1 awakener.
“Wow, even so a grade 1 awakener using grade 7 and grade 6 awakeners. Laugh to death.”
“But those people seemed close among themselves. Particularly no feeling that grade 1 awakener used. Feeling unnie Soyeon and Kang Hanul showed goodwill?”
“Anyway asked quite good information. Our kid did well.”
“Haha! Praise more, guild master unnie.”
Food type item with buff and various effects attached.
Moreover taste the best under heaven.
Oseong Guild’s guild master Kim Yura immediately started searching Ara Hongryeon’s contact.
