Chapter 90

At the unexpected hospitality blankly dazed just in time a familiar face visible.

“Mr. Gyuseong! Welcome. I’ll guide together.”

“A, long time.”

Representative Baek’s secretary.

He welcomed me with a brightly smiling face then soon gladly extended handshake.

“But people many.”

“All came to express thanks. Everyone knows. Thanks to Mr. Gyuseong our awakener Baek Seunghyeon treated.”

Still to the media only information flowing sparsely like tabloids but the guild members all seeming knowing.

And Oh Minju who rode the car together started showing tears casually.

“Thank you, Mr. Gyuseong. Truly thank you.”

“A, no that...”

Completely not catching up with the situation some sensitive people also started showing tears casually.

“A, sorry. I suddenly rude...”

“Awakener Oh Minju. First go inside. I’ll guide Mr. Gyuseong.”

“Sorry.”

Blankly looking at Oh Minju disappearing still showing tears the secretary made a sorry expression.

“Sorry for the sudden matter. Actually awakener Oh Minju is awakener Baek Seunghyeon’s fiancée. Not known to the world.”

“A!”

Wondered why a famous awakener like Oh Minju directly came to welcome me such reason. The emotion intensifying also understanding.

“The two while subjugating dungeons together became a special relationship.”

“The two really match well. Awakener Baek Seunghyeon recovered really fortunate.”

“Haha. All thanks to Mr. Gyuseong. Then, let’s go. The representative and awakener Baek Seunghyeon waiting. Actually the representative intended to come out to greet but preparing inside so I came out like this.”

“Preparation?”

When I spouted question the secretary smiled with a meaningful face and guided me. And around such us Iron Blood guild members surrounded and entered together.

Pang!

Pububung!

“Eeng?”

As soon as entering firecracker baptism bursting mindless. Soon fanfare sounding and cheers heard together with drum sound.

No what on earth this matter.

Intended to come quietly and only congratulate and go but completely prepared a grand event appearance.

Amid vision spinning someone grabbed and hugged me.

“Hahaha! Mr. Gyuseong! Came!”

“Representative Baek.”

“Today coming like this really, reeeally! Thank you!”

Representative Baek hugging me and liking like a child. No seeing now even summoned familiars and making them stand as attendants.

“Th, thank you.”

“Um?”

When I a bit awkwardly receiving thanks representative Baek who examined my air soon raised hand and waved. Then the noisy performance ended in an instant.

“Mr. Gyuseong, by any chance too noisy. Fine?”

“Yes. Fine.”

Said so but still ears numb.

Whether noticed such my air representative Baek restless and examined my complexion.

Grateful to representative Baek who tried to make me glad but unexpected matter so burden bigger.

“Kr hmm.”

Representative Baek gave a glance somewhere.

Then before I knew it the people bringing a huge cake tower hurriedly disappeared behind the curtain.

“...”

“Then, shall we have an intimate celebration time among us?”

Before I knew it the band playing fanfare also sneaking disappearing appearance.

When awkward air quietly wrapping around I finally could look around.

‘Ooh.’

Iron Blood Guild as a guild competing for Republic of Korea’s 1st most guild members all celebrities. Moreover as a person affiliated with the industry knew even people ordinary people might not know.

Like that examining the faces far away Baek Seunghyeon standing awkwardly as if worrying when to appear visible.

Complexion pale but looking at the appearance standing intact indeed detoxification ended seeming.

“A.”

Just in time Baek Seunghyeon who met eyes with me urgently approached. Such him Oh Minju seen earlier supporting.

Walking appearance still awkward but unlike hyung’s sister-in-law Siyoung combat type awakener rehabilitation seeming needing a lot.

“Awakener Baek Seunghyeon?”

“A...”

Baek Seunghyeon couldn’t continue words and just shed tears trickle. From that appearance the past pain felt indirectly for a moment emotion surged.

When giving fruit and vegetable juice just a feeling of saving one person. So no realization at all but actually seeing such appearance the opponent’s emotion clearly felt.

“Th, thank you. Thank you.”

Baek Seunghyeon holding my hand and lowering the waist.

Hearing the trembling voice I slowly raised his body.

“Seeing the safe appearance like this I also seem tears coming. Safely treated the body so now only happy matters remaining.”

“Truly... thank you.”

Oh Minju beside covering mouth and crying. Before I knew it representative Baek also casually turned head and wiped tears, surrounding other guild members also each reacting.

“Thank you! Awakener Lee Gyuseong!”

“Thank you for treating our Seunghyeon, truly.”

“Now let’s us really live happily!”

Amid everyone rejoicing Baek Seunghyeon wiping tears and smiling clumsily.

“Not intending this... The seat expressing thanks to Mr. Gyuseong strangely changed.”

“No. A seat congratulating awakener Baek Seunghyeon’s complete cure. And the party not ended yet.”

Already me who looked around and confirmed something.

Immediately taking out Bokkeum from the backpack I started preparing something.

The last fruit and vegetable juice, and the real reason came here.

‘This time prepared properly.’

Aged dough made with gosogoso, and topping materials raised directly, finally Alpheheim’s honey.

“Will make an unforgettable party.”

Smiled confidently.

* * *

Some alley in Yongsan.

A 3-person group preparing something continuing conversation with tense air.

“Hyung, really no problem right?”

“If problem? What to do?”

“Uum...”

“Stop talking now. Both preparation ended right? Don’t forget to use artifact mask now. And saying again, during the plan proceeding absolutely don’t say unnecessary words.”

“Hoo.”

Tense breathing sound echoed.

The 3-person group all awakeners. But all those expelled from the guild for some reason and became criminals.

But not at all underestimateable the strongest among them no less a grade 5 awakener.

Grade 3 support type awakener, grade 4 combat type awakener, grade 5 summon type awakener.

They now planning robbery crime.

“Let’s depart.”

“...Yes.”

Their target the building where Yongsan awakener goods stores gathered.

Awakener goods each tremendous high-priced items. Moreover such awakener related goods black market also actively activated so no big worry even when selling stolen goods.

Of course that much security good, but grade 5 awakener Jeong Jihwan aimed at such point.

Executing robbery through complacency due to thinking security good. After that calculation of sufficiently escaping with his special ability.

Jeong Jihwan, he tamed all sorts of monsters for this matter. And established a perfect plan of moving stolen goods and escaping with the abilities of the tamed monsters.

‘These guys just called for just in case matters. Originally can do alone.’

Also thinking of abandoning if necessary.

Like that when the corrupted 3-person group awakeners executing crime.

An unexpected person also heading to Yongsan.

* * *

Ara who finished greeting Prey and the slimes, and Gomgomi put on the straw hat and carried the bag and came out of the slime dungeon.

“Um!!”

Ara who tightly clenched both fists with a face full of fighting spirit.

Like that passing the mountain path always passed with Gyuseong and coming down to the street Ara waved hands randomly looking at the passing cars.

But no matter how waving no matter of the car suddenly stopping.

“Why not stopping!?”

Ara remembering Gyuseong always stopping cars like this and riding puffed cheeks looking at the cars passing fast.

Like that waving hands for about 10 minutes ultimately one vehicle stopped. Fortunately a taxi.

“Um? Catching taxi?”

At the taxi driver’s words lowering the window and saying Ara shouted confidently.

“Yongsan!”

“Yongsan?”

“Going to Yongsan!”

Ara who said confidently walked toward the passenger seat and opened the door. The taxi driver blankly looking at that appearance asked again.

“Yongsan? Going to Yongsan?”

“Yeah!”

“Alone?”

“Yeah!”

“Smart lady.”

The taxi driver scratched head then soon nodded. Soon the car starting to depart Ara felt throbbing and examined the bag packed when coming out.

Inside that the box containing the slime fragment and various treasures (miscellaneous) entered.

Looking outside the window quite familiar sceneries seen together with Gyuseong passing. Now the fact of no Gyuseong strangely felt to Ara.

“Already miss!”

“Hm?”

At Ara’s sudden words the driver uncle tilted head but already Ara immersed in her own world.

Recalling this and that thoughts and memories and coming before I knew it arrived at Yongsan.

“Thankful!”

“Kid, money?”

“Money?”

Ara who quickly got off the car blankly looked then soon packed the bag. Then took out something and handed.

“Um?”

“Bye~!”

“Uh, uh...! Kid!”

The taxi driver alternating looking at the item Ara handed and Ara then soon blankly looked at Ara’s back appearance disappearing trotting.

What he received an envelope full of cherry tomatoes.

“Heo, hehe...”

Like that Ara who passed the first gate soon looked around then froze as is.

‘Wide!!’

When coming with Gyuseong always stuck together so no reason to confirm the way. So just going as led no thinking this wide.

Trotting!

Running here.

Trotting!

Running there and looking around Ara soon discovered one familiar building.

“Pretty unnie!”

The building went when Jeong Soyeon gave the motorcycle helmet. Clearly memory of buying camping supplies there...

For now a known place appearing ran trotting.

And now there, coincidentally something just happening.

Thud!

Crash!

“Waak!”

“Call police! 119! 119!”

Arriving near the building tremendous commotion occurred. And in such commotion Ara with both eyes widened looking around.

“What happened!”

Small explosion occurring and the building shaking.

People urgently evacuating and in that situation someone falling visible.

“Aigo!”

Fallen old woman.

And above such old woman huge building debris falling.

“No!”

“Aa!”

“Grandma! Stand! Danger...!”

The people who came out first and watching the situation shouted pitiful screams. But that moment.

Thuk!

Ara lightly blocked the debris with hands.

“?!”

“Eh!?”

The appearance of a small girl supporting a huge concrete lump with both hands standing truly unrealistic.

But actually Ara tilted head as if nothing.

“Fine?”
