127. Rumors in the Storm (4)
Jeho has been going through some confusing times recently.
As soon as the exchange ended, Jo Ui-shin collapsed after communicating, and his master Baek-ho revealed the secret that Yong-je-geon had been hiding.
It was also shocking to learn that Yongjegeon was dealing with Ungnyeo, but Jo Ui-shin, who had risen, revealed the existence of Heukho, and Heukho finished reporting that he had not been able to deliver for a long time.
‘Then, Mr. Jeokho… … Ms. Ungnyeo… … .’
Besides, according to Heukho, Ungnyeo might soon be killed by Jinwoong Palseon.
Jeho felt as if he was being crushed by the weight of the forgotten past and the crisis that Ungnyeo was facing.
When I was frozen like a tiger, unable to even say anything about going out and meeting Ungnyeo right away, Jo Ui-shin spoke.
-I have a suggestion.
Upon hearing that, strength returned to his body, which had been so slumped that he could not even sit properly without Yongjegeon’s help.
The god of mourning revealed the number he had prepared and opened the way for Ungnyeo to escape.
Gradually, Jeho felt that his previously dark vision was becoming clearer, and the voices that had seemed distant were starting to sound closer.
After Jo Ui-shin left to take a seat, Je-ho finally calmed down, but he was still half-able to accept the reality.
‘Am I dreaming?’
With most of the local chieftains gone, the surroundings became quiet, making the sense of reality disappear even more.
Eunho, the owner of this annex, was away to see Unsa with Heukho.
As Jeho was becoming more and more convinced that ‘this is definitely a dream’, Yong Je-geon, who had stayed behind to observe Jeho’s ever-changing expressions, spoke.
―If you can’t tell if it’s a dream or reality, I’ll tell you. Which method do you prefer, the painful method or the non-painful method?
Although he did not grant protection with his true name like Baekho, Yongjegeon read Jeho’s inner thoughts perfectly.
Just looking at Yong Je-geon’s face, which was wearing an expression of rapture that was so uncomfortable that it made Je-ho realize that this was reality.
Baekho answered Yongjegeon’s nonsense on behalf of Jeho.
-If you do anything stupid, I’ll kill you.
-It’s a nice day, so please excuse me.
Yong Je-geon, who was brimming with the desire to do something foolish, expressed his regret in an exaggerated manner.
The young version of Hwangho looked at the sight in bewilderment.
Instead of dealing with Yongjegeon, Hwangho spoke to Jeho.
―Jeokho and Ungnyeo will return safely. Get ready to welcome your family. Moving your body will make you feel less anxious.
Hwangho displayed the coordinates on the hologram and transmitted them to Jeho.
The coordinates pointed to a spot on the grounds of a mansion.
Jeho, determined to do something, diligently cleaned and organized the annex as Hwangho had said.
Because it was so well managed, Jeho soon became anxious because he had nothing to do, but his feelings grew even more frustrated because of Yongjegeon who was making annoying remarks next to him.
After what felt like a long wait, Jeho finally gets to meet his wife.
Due to Yongjegeon’s scheme, I saw the two of them being overly affectionate nearby, but I succeeded in greeting them for the first time.
-Our title.
The bear woman who received the greeting stretched out her thin finger and stroked Jeho’s red hair.
The bear woman briefly withdrew her hand, so light that it seemed as if the wind had brushed past, and then reached out her hand again.
After a while, Ungnyeo very carefully swept back the hair covering Jeho’s left eye.
The tips of Ungnyeo’s fingers were slightly cold from the rain, but her left eye felt hot as if it was about to burst into tears.
―This is the first time I’ve seen it up close since then.
―At that time, surely… … .
―Our troublemaker was tricked by some Jin tribe and came to see me at the Ung tribe’s den. He almost got into big trouble.
At those words, tears fell from Jeho’s left eye.
I thought that I had covered my eyes with a fan and turned away from Jeho that day, but for Ungnyeo, that day was the only time she had seen her grown child up close.
Jeokho and Ungnyeo affectionately comforted Jeho, who was shedding tears.
Since Jeokho was still holding Ungnyeo, the distance between the three of them was naturally very close.
This would have been a more touching moment if Yong Je-geon hadn’t been there, excitedly watching the scene, but the dragon showed no signs of leaving.
‘Let’s just treat that dragon as air. There’s no such annoying ingredient in air, but let’s just do it… … .’
Jeho gave up, and Jeokho and Ungnyeo neglected Yongjegeon because their sons were tolerating it.
No matter what, he couldn’t tolerate Yongjegeon staying in the annex on the night he reunited with Jeokho and Ungnyeo, so Jeho personally dragged Yongjegeon and locked him in the guest room.
When morning came, Yongjegeon was running wild, saying he needed to get breakfast, but I was afraid that if I left him alone, he would go to the red brick annex, so I dragged him to Eunho’s annex.
It was fine up until that point, but the moment I realized that the breakfast menu was Jeho’s 100th day meal that Eunho had personally prepared, I was struck with a powerful shock.
‘It’s the 100th day celebration at this age!’
Yesterday, when Jeokho and Ungnyeo said they were going to have a 100th-day celebration, I thought they were joking, but everyone, including Hojok, was serious.
Jeho tried to tell Hwangho that it was okay if he didn’t prepare anything, but Hwangho had already finished ordering the rice cakes and even made a list of invited guests.
Hwang Ho declared that he would rent an entire floor of the Hwangmyeong Tower to hold a grand 100th-day banquet.
Jeho felt dizzy at the thought of receiving the 100th day award in front of the great Jin clans who were close enough to be invited by the powerful clans and whose names were left in history.
My feelings were even more complicated when I thought of receiving congratulations from a real child-like person like me.
“Jeho was so big! The last time I saw him, he was like this.”
After Jo Ui-shin left to go see a shadow play that was to be performed at Hoyeon Hall in this weather, Heuk-ho, who had been glancing at Je-ho the whole time, approached him and spoke to him.
Although Black Tiger appears young, he is a close friend of his father, Red Tiger, and was a great Jin tribe member who fought alongside them during the mythical era.
However, Heukho, who was his uncle, was shorter than Eunho’s youngest descendant, Eunjaeho, and was actually very young if you only consider the time he existed in this world.
‘Is it because Black Tiger’s existence has been forgotten for so long? I feel young.’
The Jin tribe was a being that was not bound by the age that was visible on the outside.
Jeho knew this well.
That is why there was no case of losing one’s senses when facing Hwang Ho, who took the form of Hwang Yoo-ho, like Jo Ui-shin.
But Black Tiger was different.
His speech, actions, and thoughts were all those of a child.
“Jeho liked the flute I played. I also have some leaves that I kept to show him. Do you want some?”
Black Tiger spoke earnestly and then took out a peculiarly shaped leaf from his bosom.
It was a leaf that seemed to have been collected thousands of years before the title disappeared.
To a botanist interested in ancient plants, no matter how unusual it was, to Jeho it was just a leaf.
But when I saw the black tiger pushing out leaves right in front of me, I felt a sense of foreboding and longing.
Aside from Red Tiger and Ungnyeo, the one who had spent the most time with Jeho before the 100th day was Black Tiger, and it was clear that Jeho had unconsciously thought of this when Black Tiger returned.
“Thank you, Black Tiger.”
When Jeho accepted the leaf, Heukho looked at him with a helpless expression.
But Black Tiger’s joy did not last long.
It seemed as if he suddenly remembered that Jeho had grown up without parents because of my disappearance.
It was no different from a child who was playing with a friend without thinking, and then realized that he had made a big mistake with that friend and felt awkward.
Jeho spoke as if he was trying to appease the childish uncle of the powerful clan.
“Thank you for the wonderful gift. Next time, I would like to hear the flute performance too.”
“… … Really? I can play it right now. I will!”
“It’s okay. I want to listen to it with you, Lord Jeokho and Lady Ungnyeo.”
“Okay, I’ll practice then. Listen to it together later!”
Meanwhile, Baekho, who had been watching to make sure Yongjegeon wouldn’t interfere and ruin the mood, looked away for a moment and smiled faintly at the two.
Eunho and Hwangho’s clones also looked pleased at this sight.
“The Red Tiger and the Blue Tiger should have seen this too. And of course, the God of Consolation.”
“I don’t think Mr. Jeokho can do that since he’s busy spending time with Lady Ungnyeo. Let’s leave it until the 100th day celebration.”
While talking to Heukho, who was chattering innocently, the sound of their conversation reached Jeho’s ears.
The name of the benefactor who helped me find my family, Jo Ui-shin, lingered in my ears for a long time.
* * *
Hoyeon Hall.
They said it was better than yesterday, but it was still raining heavily and the wind was strong because of the typhoon.
I came comfortably thanks to Hwang Ji-ho’s barrier that he created while moving, but not everyone has such a convenient and powerful companion.
‘There’s still plenty of time until the show starts, but there aren’t many people.’
When Kwon Jae-in performed at Hoyeon Hall, it was already overflowing with people even at an earlier time.
But even when I entered the Hoyeon Hall building, all I could see were students from the Chinese national team.
Lubowon, who had been looking at the front door with wide eyes, came running to me as soon as he saw me.
Lubowon welcomed us in fluent Korean.
“The nameless supernova is here! I’m so happy you brought two friends. Come quickly!”
Lubowon looked at Hwang Jiho and Cheongho standing next to me with a moved expression on his face and guided them personally.
Lubowon is the main character of this performance, but I wondered if it was okay for him to appear like this.
It was as if Kwon Jae-in or Dokgo Miro did not rehearse right before the performance and greeted the guests directly.
“When I told them you were coming, the kids all said I had to go myself! If it’s okay, could we take a picture together right now? I wanted to upload a picture with the comment, ‘An unknown supernova is coming to see today’s performance!’… … .”
The purpose was publicity.
I decided to agree, even though I was a bit skeptical about how many people would come if my photo was used for promotional purposes.
Right now, I need to build up favorability toward Lubowon, and I’m a member of the exchange team and an ambassador for the school.
Lubowon, who was expecting a promotional effect, might be disappointed, but it will be easier to talk with fewer people.
“Of course, that’s okay. Can we take a selfie together?”
“I want to upload some pictures we took together, and some solo shots of you! And if it’s okay, with your friends… … .”
“We’re done. Just take a picture with Jo Ui-shin.”
As expected, Hwang Ji-ho and Cheong-ho refused.
But Hwang Ji-ho is set to be one year younger than Lu Bo-won, so is it okay for him to speak to her like that?
Lubowon didn’t seem to care much, but I did.
After expressing his gratitude several times, Lubowon, who took the photo, left the room, saying he would consult with his team and write a promotional article right away.
‘After the show, I’ll have a chance to talk to Lubowon. There won’t be many people here, so there won’t be many people to say hello to, and it’ll be over soon.’
And about 10 minutes later.
My expectations were completely off.
Starting with children asking the device messenger, “Are you at Hoyeon Hall now?”, the number of people sending messages to everyone increased.
Soon, the dormitory students who had braved the storm began to flock to the entrance of Hoyeon Hall, followed by the residents of Eun Gwang Gu who appeared one by one.
In addition, a huge giant appeared.
“hi.”
The big guy immediately found me and spoke to me.
“I had a lesson today, and Lena came because she saw the advertisement and showed interest.”
Starting with Yao Leqi, who ran out of the waiting room upon hearing the news of the appearance of the blue violinist Kwon Jae-in, the players from the Chinese national team covered their mouths and screamed silently.
