Ending Maker Episode 450
SS #37 Kang Yu-jin (3)
As expected from Eugene who was homeschooled in Heroes Chronicles 2, there were hundreds of characters registered in the character window.
With the remake, the number of playable characters increased significantly from 12 to 24, and Eugene’s character window contained all 24 characters, although there may be a difference in the number.
‘Should I go with the main character?’
Of the 24 playable characters, this is the character I’ve developed the most and am most drawn to.
The successor to the holy sword, originally hated by his mother, a Cordelia devotee, but began to like him after a new route was added in the remake version.
Lucas Hresvelg.
But just before pressing the play button, Eugene changed the selected character.
This is because Lucas was a character in Heroes Chronicles 2, and there was really an age gap between him and Yuria, the second child of Uder and Cordelia, like that of father and daughter.
‘Yeah, kind of.’
Because right now, my purpose was purely to meet Yuria.
Eugene, who had thought of the victory conditions as instructed by Alexei, looked through the character window and selected one character.
Redin.
One of the playable characters in Heroes Chronicle 3 Remake.
Although he was still older than Yuria, he was still a character with an age difference that made them seem like siblings.
‘Okay, let’s really go.’
To meet Yuria.
Eugene took a deep breath and pressed the start button.
* * *
The moment Eugene logged into the game for rehearsal.
Uther and Cordelia were sitting in the couple’s seats at the PC room they had visited for the first time in a long time, eating cup ramen.
“Mmm, this is the taste. The unique taste of cup ramen that you can only find in PC rooms.”
Cordelia, who had been sniffing the air, was pleased and even danced a small shoulder dance, but Uther’s expression was not very pleasing.
“Why again? It’s been a really long time since I’ve had cup ramen. It’s okay to eat junk food sometimes.”
It was a reflexive complaint-like soothing remark from Uther, who was always careful about what he ate, saying things like, “It’s food that goes into the mouth of a goddess.” However, Uther nodded his head, saying, “Okay,” but his expression was still stiff.
‘There’s something more.’
These two people were close enough that they could read each other’s thoughts just by looking at each other’s eyes.
When Cordelia gestured for him to speak more quickly, Uder crossed his arms and glared at the monitor.
“Eugene said that guy’s main character was Lucas.”
“Why Lucas?”
Cordelia used to hate Lucas so much, but that was a long time ago.
The current Lucas is Cordelia’s close friend, beloved younger brother, and husband to her best friends.
In addition, the Perfect Happy Ending route was added in Heroes Chronicle 2 Remake, so the unpleasant development of Cordelia becoming a mine if you choose Lucas is no longer necessary.
But why doesn’t Yuder like the fact that Eugene’s main character is Lucas?
In fact, it’s not Cordelia herself who’s closer to Lucas, but rather Uther.
“Lucas’s performance is good. He looks good too.”
“Yeah, but at the same time, Lucas is also a two-timing guy.”
Caesar and Scarlett.
Two of Lucas’ wives.
That’s right.
Lucas was the only two-timing, shameless character among the 24 playable characters appearing in Heroes of the Storm 2 Remake.
“And do you know what the main character is in that guy 3?”
“Who, who are you?”
When Cordelia asked with eyes filled with fear, Uther clicked his tongue and frowned.
“Redin.”
“Huh! Harem King Redin?!”
“That’s right, Harem King Redin.”
A wild and uncontrollable womanizer who has had four heroines.
The main characters I choose are all harem men.
Lucas had some room for consideration as they had a connection from a past life, but Redin didn’t have that either.
Cordelia could tell what Uther was trying to say.
Kang Yu-jin is a woman who only uses harem men as her main characters.
That is, deep in Kang Yu-jin’s mind, there is a sinister desire to have a harem.
Would it be okay to give up the seat next to Yuriah, who is kind, pretty, pure, and worthy of all the nice things I say, to that guy?
“Oh, because you’re a kid!”
“child?”
“Oh, well, you’re a kid. You’re a kid, so you’d want things like that… … You’d be strong, have a lot of money, and have a lot of women… … It’s understandable to want those things, right?”
“They say it’s yellow from the start.”
“No! That’s not it!”
When Uther spoke with a serious face, Cordelia beat her chest as if to say that it was not true and complained about her frustration, but it was also true that she could not think of any good excuse.
What should I say in this situation?
If I had known this would happen, I would have come with Yoo Hee-jin.
Hong Yu-hee may be a bit too much, but if it were Kang Jin-ho, he would have been able to argue with Yu-de!
“Anyway, if Yuria doesn’t like it, it’s all over. It’s all invalid. It’s unreasonable to have a prenatal engagement with children who haven’t even been born yet.”
“You and I were engaged in the womb?”
“Because we were two destined people. We are the exception.”
Cordelia looked up at Uther, who was talking childishly with a serious expression on his face, and forced a smile as she spoke.
“Anyway, I haven’t even met Yuria yet, so don’t be like that. Okay? Okay?”
Cordelia spoke to him affectionately, as if soothing a child, but Uther did not respond at all. Cordelia sighed and picked up the cup of ramen.
‘Well, what Yuder said isn’t entirely wrong.’
After all, what was important was the hearts of Yuriah and Eugene.
Yuder only cares about Yuria’s feelings – no, it’s as if Eugene’s feelings have already been decided, but that’s something you have to know when you meet him.
Cordelia, who had been stealing glances at Uther, who was still wearing a displeased expression, smiled at the sight of Uther starting to resemble his father, Count Chase, and then focused on eating the cup ramen.
* * *
During exam periods – especially the night before an exam – time seemed to fly by and Eugene’s time was erased in an instant.
‘Oh, it’s morning already?’
Eugene, who had been practicing his conversation with NPC Yuria, kicked the capsule and stood up in a complicated mood of anxiety, fear, and anticipation.
“Are you awake?”
“Yes? Yes, yes!”
Eugene quickly ran to the bathroom and washed up when she heard her father’s voice, Kang Jin-ho, coming from the living room.
Even though it was vacation time, Eugene’s day always started at 7 in the morning.
Mom – Hong Yu-hee always woke up past 9 in the morning, but that was because she was a mother.
The exception to all the rules of the Kang family established by Kang Jin-ho was his mother, Hong Yu-hee.
“Good morning, Eugene.”
“Good morning, Aunt Joe.”
When Eugene blushed and said that Natasha was wearing a tank top and dolphin pants, which seemed to have a lot of flesh color today, Natasha chuckled and said in a sly tone.
“Eugene.”
“Yes, aunt.”
“You know the contract is still valid, right?”
“No, stop teasing me!”
A contract from my childhood, where I even stamped my seal, saying that I would marry my Aunt Natasha when I grew up.
Eugene, whose face became even redder, rushed into the bathroom, and Natasha pouts for some reason.
And the morning began.
After washing up, Eugene ate breakfast prepared by Kang Jin-ho and then held the hand of Yu-hee, who woke up late, and headed to the beauty salon.
This was a fancy place that made me wonder if it was really a hair salon, unlike the neighborhood hair salon I usually go to. It wasn’t just a place to get your hair done.
“Well, okay. My son is handsome. I like him.”
From skin care to hair care.
Eugene, who had undergone almost full body correction, stood awkwardly and looked at herself in the mirror, wondering, “Is this me?”, while Kim Hye-eun, who had joined Hong Yu-hee and Natasha, linked arms and smiled happily.
And then another couple of hours.
Eugene returned home, suppressing his pounding heart, sat upright on the sofa and waited for Uder and Cordelia.
In my head, I was constantly replaying the meeting with Yuria that had been going on all night.
‘From Pattern A to Pattern Z.’
26 conversation patterns prepared based on Yuria’s answers.
Here, Eugene checked over a thousand conversation patterns, including branching patterns.
Although he was still a child and resembled Hong Yu-hee even more, Yu-jin also had Kang Jin-ho’s blood flowing through his body.
‘Help me, Alexei.’
Give me strength.
And then again, how much time had passed?
The bedroom door opened again, revealing Uther and Cordelia.
“Oh my, our Eugene looks like a celebrity? Isn’t that right, Yuder?”
“Huh, I guess I can be a little lenient.”
Cordelia slapped Eugene’s butt as he reacted, thinking, “How can someone who doesn’t have even a single drop of Count Chase blood in him be so Count Chase-like?” Then she looked at Eugene again and spoke.
“Eugene, are you ready?”
“Ready… … done.”
Cordelia smiled faintly as if she found Eugene’s serious answer so cute. She looked at Hong Yu-hee, and Hong Yu-hee, who was standing there with a face as nervous as Eugene, nodded seriously.
“Okay, then let’s go right away.”
To the Pleiades.
To meet Yuria.
As Cordelia opened the door to space, Yuder grumbled and began escorting her, holding her hand, while Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee held each other’s hands tightly.
“Eugene, it’s okay. You can do it. If it doesn’t work out, you can just marry your aunt.”
“Yes, Aunt. Thank you.”
When Eugene smiled brightly and expressed his gratitude, Natasha smiled bitterly, but only for a moment.
“Okay, let’s go. Yuria is a person after all, a person. It’s nothing special.”
Eugene swallowed dry saliva at Natasha’s cheer that wasn’t cheering and stepped toward the door of the space.
* * *
Travel between worlds.
A trip to the world within the game – no, to the world called Pleiades, which is the origin of the Heroes Chronicles series.
Even though I had already heard the story from my mom and dad, the movement between worlds was surprisingly easy.
Because as soon as you pass through the door of space, another world appears.
Of course, there was nothing that could clearly indicate that it was a ‘different world’.
It’s not like a god from another world suddenly appeared and said welcome to our world-
‘-It’s not.’
“Welcome to the Pleiades.”
Goddess of the Pleiades.
To be more precise, the vision of Cordelia, the goddess of love, magic, beauty and the sun.
Since the goddess of another world welcomed me, this must be another world.
I guess so.
Eugene nodded absentmindedly and looked back at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Indoor.
To be exact, inside a large room.
Luxurious walls, ceilings, and furniture often seen in Heroes Chronicle 2.
“This is our mansion in the capital. Have you seen it in the game?”
Eugene nodded immediately at Cordelia’s question.
The ‘Newlywed Home Purchase Event’ that appears when playing as Cordelia and Uther is a mandatory event that must be triggered.
But that was just then.
“Uder, it’s dark outside… … Is there any chance that a parallax variable has occurred?”
When Kang Jin-ho asked, who was looking out the window, Yuder flinched and waved his finger in the air. Soon after, he narrowed his eyes and spoke.
“It’s just like Kang Jin-ho said. The time difference variable has occurred. It’s the day of the ball. It’s already started.”
300th Anniversary National Foundation Commemoration Ceremony.
Originally, I had planned to arrive the day before the National Foundation Day celebration, but the time difference variable occurred while traveling between worlds.
The parallax variable that occurs because time flows differently between worlds is a random number that cannot be perfectly predicted even by a wise person.
“How long has it been? Surely the ball isn’t over yet?”
“Not yet. It’s just starting… … If you get ready and go right away, you’ll be able to make it on time somehow.”
Uder quickly answered Cordelia’s urgent question and then looked back at the group and spoke.
“Everyone, change your clothes. No, we don’t have time, so don’t move.”
Everyone stopped in surprise at Uther’s words, and Cordelia, who immediately understood, activated her magic by wiggling her fingers.
A transformation that took place in an instant.
Eugene, dressed in a stylish black tuxedo, looked around in surprise, but the rest of the people seemed quite familiar and immediately began to act.
“I’ve called a carriage outside. Let’s get on and go right away.”
As Uther spoke, wiggling his fingers, the window opened, and as Cordelia continued to gesture, an invisible force instantly transported the group out the window.
And when I came to my senses, I was in a carriage.
Eugene, half-asleep, looked out the window, opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in admiration.
‘The royal road! The royal palace!’
The capital of the Kingdom of Seilun.
A huge and beautiful royal palace located at the center of it all.
I’ve seen it hundreds, thousands of times in games, but seeing it in person was a different experience.
It was because of the real sense of liveliness that even full-dive virtual reality could not capture.
‘B, I think I hear background music.’
The beautiful and magnificent background music of the royal capital can be heard when arriving at the royal capital.
And it wasn’t a mistake.
This is because Hong Yu-hee and Kang Jin-ho, who saw the royal road, hummed that background music.
Cordelia laughed and followed along, a reflexive reaction that wasn’t intentional, and Uther also laughed bitterly and joined in, so the carriage was soon filled with the background music of the royal capital.
And finally the carriage arrived at the palace.
As the palace of the Kingdom of Seilun, one of the two great powers of the continent, there was a strict security system in place, but with Uder and Cordelia, everything was free pass.
The group, who had almost run and arrived right in front of the hall where the ball was being held, looked back at each other for the last time. Cordelia took a deep breath and smiled at Eugene.
“I’ll go in first to buy some time. Catch your breath and then come in. Okay?”
“yes!”
Cordelia smiled again at Eugene’s reflexive response, and Uder muttered something subtle, “I think I’ll do well in the title and rank… ” and nodded to the palace staff member.
“The incarnation of the goddess enters!”
Uther and Cordelia enter through the open hall door.
Numerous eyes focused on the two people.
Eugene could see what Cordelia meant by ‘buying time’.
The appearance of two people.
And then the dance between the two began.
It was a dance of the two gods who protect the Pleiades.
Everyone couldn’t help but go wild because it was literally out of this world dancing, and Eugene was no exception.
I was almost entranced by the dance between Uther and Cordelia.
But at some point.
Eugene, who was completely absorbed in the dance between Uther and Cordelia, turned his gaze away without realizing it.
No, to be more precise, he looked away even though Uther and Cordelia were dancing.
Strong attraction.
The fate that made it so.
Even though there were over a thousand people, I could recognize him at a glance.
Because it seemed as if she alone was shining in a sea of people.
A girl with black hair wearing a pink dress.
Yuria August Bayer.
Eugene swallowed dryly, and Yuria, who had been concentrating on Cordelia and Uder’s dance, looked away.
I looked at Eugene.
