Episode 72
* * *
A conversation with Yoon Ui-seo at the hospital.
Before leaving, Gyeonji-oh suddenly asked.
“Do tamers also manipulate other people’s emotions at will?”
“Huh? What is that?”
“Why, you can control the feelings other people have for you, or make them like you. Don’t you know that, since you’re a Tamer too?”
“That, that’s the first time I’ve heard of something like that… … .”
“What, then how are you going to explain that I helped you?”
“yes?”
“If you think about it, it was strange from the beginning. I was strangely concerned about you.”
Looking back, yes, that’s true.
Although the Yongni incident grew bigger, the starting point was the dungeon.
After seeing Yoon Ui-seo in front of Jongno Dungeon, Geo ‘moved’ and ended up here.
“Because Yoon Kang-jae stirred it up, and because he’s another Yonggary owner… … Of course, there must have been reasons like that. But those alone don’t explain why I gave you my number.”
A guy who caught my attention from the moment I first saw him. My eyes kept going to him.
It was a strange thing for a person who rarely showed interest in others. No wonder even Seongyakseong asked what was going on with you.
“It’s because of you that I moved. Not because of someone else, but because of you.”
“Hey, sir. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I like you at all. That weak, sick bastard has big dreams.”
“Oh, I didn’t do it!”
“I’m just saying that I felt a strange, strange sense of familiarity with this Kingzio. It was enough to make me want to help him instead of pretending not to know him.”
Geo wiggled his toes tremblingly. And.
“If it was just you, I would have just thought, ‘Oh, that’s what happens in life,’ and forgotten about it.”
Recently, I met a similar guy.
An attraction without any reason or context.
Even worse than Yun Ui-seo, you were able to shake Gyeon Ji-oh’s heart.
Geo’s expression is sinking.
Yun Ui-seo, who had been deep in thought, suddenly tapped his knee with a low exclamation.
“Ah! Could that be it?”
“what.”
“I didn’t get it when you said ‘others’, other ‘people’. Normally, summoned beasts, that is, animals, feel affection towards their tamers.”
A relationship based on affection, including communication and connection.
It was perhaps natural, as it was an innate awakening in its essence.
Tamers cross the ‘line’ more easily.
Geo’s eyebrows furrowed as he listened to the explanation. Wait, let me hear this.
“Hey, you little bastard. Are you saying that I’m an animal and not a human?”
Even though I’m being harassed from all sides, this little punk is saying this in front of people?
“Oh, no, I’m not saying that specifically!”
Yoon Ui-seo waved his hands hurriedly.
「Extraordinarily! Extraordinarily, exceptionally! I think I heard that there are people who are particularly sensitive in that regard. So, people who are born with animalistic senses. For example… …‘S-class’.
Well, well… … .
Twilight, that gangster son of a bitch also seemed a bit weak to Yoon Ui-seo.
Geo nodded, who was soon convinced. However, Yoon Ui-seo had a questioning look on his face.
“But… … It’s just that it’s relatively easy to feel a liking for it, but it’s definitely not enough to have a negative effect… … .”
“hmm.”
“In the case of the person that Geo-nim mentioned, isn’t it probably the result of the combination of the tamer traits as well as the person’s unique traits, like the Ability?”
Yoon Ui-seo muttered.
“To sway your emotions and mind by your own will.”
Then that person must be really scary.
* * *
It will be difficult to see in the future.
There was a reason why Guido Maramaldi went around making such a fuss.
Those guys who flew in from across the Pacific.
Because the decision makers who hold the reins on all those guys’ schedules are finally making a move.
United States, John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Flights from New York to Incheon.
Wall Street analyst Smith is currently feeling very uneasy.
I could go on and on about Delta Airlines’ infamy all night, but isn’t this a bit much?
‘I don’t even hope for an on-time departure.’
However, the delay has already been going on for two hours. It wasn’t even due to bad weather conditions such as strong winds or fog.
‘Just because of the passengers!’
The in-flight announcement kept repeating the same thing, but in the end it was basically just a rumor that the flight was not taking off because no VVIPs were on board.
‘Damn, if you have such an expensive body, you should take a private jet! What are you doing!’
My stomach was seething.
Even if the first-class passengers, including Mr. Smith, protested, it was useless. At this point, it was getting to the point where they were about to get angry.
‘I’ll remember you so I can see how great of a guy you are. As soon as I get off, I’ll report you to the Times and destroy you… ‘
As a result, the tip-off had to be made.
It was a little different from what Mr. Smith had thought.
“Oh, it’s an honor, Mr., to sit next to you.”
‘I have to wait, fucking punk, I have to wait for two hours, three hours, no matter what.’
I couldn’t control my facial expressions.
Isn’t that obvious?
The young man in front of me was the greatest shield of this era given by ‘God’. He had made a covenant with the only two saints in the entire world!
The leader of the guild “Aegis”.
Timothy Lillywhite, the ‘Son of God’ protected by archangels, smiled.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I have some urgent business at the guild… … .”
“Oh, it’s okay. Of course!”
‘There is something urgent.’
The guild members behind Timothy coughed in vain, trying to keep from laughing.
No one could have imagined it.
The fact that the blond young man, who was pretending to be fine and trembling, had just been lying in a hotel bed, sulking.
“What was the reason you got upset this time?”
“Hmm. The support team leader said he wouldn’t go to Korea with me. It seems Timmy had been secretly interested in him as a Korean tour guide.”
“Oh, my. The support team leader was smart. Go and see. How much trouble he must have had. He whined every morning about going to the ‘Jo’ ruins.”
“Timmy ran away because that’s Lily’s personality.”
“I’m jealous, I’m jealous.”
‘Aren’t you guys swearing at me? I can hear it all.’
Eek. The guild members quickly ignored the ringing in their heads. Telepathy, which allows them to shoot freely, is one of Timothy’s many abilities.
Timothy turned his body back to look behind him. Those guys, somehow the seating arrangement seemed out of place here.
A stranger right across the partition from me, a stranger down the hallway.
Timothy looked down gloomily, sipping the champagne the flight attendant had brought him (before departure).
‘I’m being bullied… … .’
Just wait and see. If you come down, I’ll take revenge… … Huh?
“That, that.”
A slightly urgent voice.
From his aisle seat, Mr. Smith absentmindedly turned his head and was startled.
America’s hero, America’s sweetheart. America’s Sweetheart was pointing at him and wagging her tail.
To be exact, the comic book in my hand.
“Are you talking about… ‘King Wizard’?”
“’King Wizard: In Search of the Black Dragon VoI.4′! Oh, I thought it wasn’t released yet.”
“I got a call from a friend in the comics department saying that it would be released tomorrow morning. I’ll be stuck on a plane for about ten hours… … .”
A black-robed magician hero standing alone with the big city behind him, depicted on the cover.
The most popular comic in the United States today, which is clearly based on a character no matter how you look at it, but everyone pretends not to know and consumes it.
Mr. Smith asked cautiously.
“Would you like to see… … ?”
“yes!”
“Are you by any chance a fan of ‘King Joe’… …?”
“yes!”
It’s a retriever.
The golden retriever is here.
A wagging tail appeared. Mr. Smith handed the book to the American hero with an awkward smile.
“Please… Can’t you at least pretend it didn’t happen?”
“what?”
Flight time is about ten hours.
Although flight times are gradually shortening due to magic stone technology, they are still quite long.
Timothy rolled his stiff shoulders and relaxed them.
A separate waiting room within the airport.
After completing a separate immigration inspection, I was waiting for Korean officials.
Unlike last time, I am here as an official envoy from the US, so I cannot move around carelessly.
“That damn fanboy thing.”
The guild member sighed deeply.
“Even if Maddog doesn’t exist, he’s still someone above you in the rankings, so I don’t expect any rivalry from you, so at least take care of your pride.”
It was a rather serious conversation, but I wonder if the other person felt the same way.
Timothy nodded his head very seriously.
“Yeah… … But why didn’t Joe reply? He must have received my card.”
Damn it. That kid didn’t listen at all. He patted the frustrated guild member’s shoulder from the side.
Either way, Timothy remained serious.
It was a handwritten card sent after insisting and persuading the White House that it would not work.
Because I wanted to show him my kind heart.
Just in case you couldn’t tell, I chose the one with the best photo and sent it to you.
“Jonathan even coached me on Korean. He said it was the most used idiom by young Koreans these days.”
‘You idiot… … You’ve been tricked by a trap card.’
One Korean-American guild member tried hard to hide his sympathy.
Jonathan Park. Real name Yonggyu Park.
The devilish smile of the support team leader of the guild
Knock, knock.
The postures that were previously stagnant change in an instant.
The door opened with a knock.
People in black suits. They were Korean officials.
A middle-aged man came in with tight security and smiled kindly.
“This is… … Thank you for coming. I am Jang Il-Hyeon, the Director of the Korean Awakening Management Agency.”
“Mr. Jang!”
It was a familiar name.
Timothy walked towards him with brisk strides and hugged him tightly.
In the moment when everyone was confused, only Jang Il-hyun, who alone knew the reason, thought, Hahaha.
‘I’m screwed… … ‘
“When can I meet Joe?”
You promised.
Even without making a sound, the eyes were speaking.
Timothy Lillywhite smiled brightly, like sunshine.
* * *
That moment.
When the American representative with a sunny smile and the sad middle-aged Korean representative are thinking of the same person at the same time.
The main character is… … .
“Monk Bohyeon, are you in good health?”
“It’s been a while, Bodhisattva.”
‘Hmm… … .’
It was in front of Monk Bohyeon in Gangwon-do.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
