Replay of EX-class supporting actor from a prestigious school (1142)
Hwang Ji-ho declared, “I will throw a grand banquet, but I will carefully select only a few guests.”
Since the entire floor of the Hwangmyeong Tower is occupied, it is easy to move around and it looks deserted, but looking at the guests who have arrived, the number doesn’t seem particularly small.
First of all, I was a guest, but since I was wearing the clothes prepared by the tigers, I looked like one of the hosts.
‘There is no dress code, but the nobles all wear hanbok, so they stand out. And I also wear red silk accessories, so it looks even worse.’
Today, not only the chairman, but also the mother-of-pearl jewelry box provided as a thank-you gift for the visit was decorated with red silk.
It seemed like it was because they were preparing a banquet, taking its name from the red silk Je (緹) of Jeho, which was Kim Shin-rok’s real name.
However, it seems that there was an implicit decision that only the main character, Kim Shin-rok, and his parents should wear red silk clothes, as the other nobles avoided wearing red clothes.
Instead, we each wore ornaments with red silk in them, and somehow I ended up wearing them too.
I was wearing a red silk tassel with a knot design that matched the one that decorated the entire hall of the Andongpo jacket, so I looked like just another member of the powerful clan.
Since students’ suits are their school uniforms, wouldn’t it be better to change into them now?
“Condolences.”
But before I could make a decision, I was caught by a tiger that read my mind in real time.
There were a blue dragon and a black tortoise tied up as archers around me, and the two of them, who were chatting happily, greeted me warmly.
If there was just one white tiger, I could just pretend not to know, but with those two, I couldn’t.
I gave up and said goodbye.
“I finally got to talk to the benefactor of the Dragon Clan. Are there really that many people to greet?”
“There are many people who care for this child, and he himself is very polite, so there’s nothing he can do. But still, he came like this.”
“I’m sorry for the late greeting.”
“Don’t pay attention to what the Blue Dragon says. I’m just upset because the descendant of the Dragon Clan who came with me left to greet Yeom Bang-yeol.”
I called over the automatic maid who was walking around serving the chairman while saying hello and handed her a drink to feed the white tiger.
Visitors were offered a menu of persimmon-based dishes, including low-proof persimmon wine, non-alcoholic champagne, and a persimmon cheese platter, all of which were served with persimmons, so anything they fed the white tiger was guaranteed to cause suffering.
“Jujak didn’t come this time either. Baekho, did you hear anything from Jujak?”
“I sent a gift along with a message expressing my intention not to attend.”
Baekho-gun gestured at the piles of presents piled up like a mountain around the entrance to the venue.
As I passed by, I saw a box with the logo of the Juche Concern on it, which seemed to be a gift from Jujak.
It seems that although Jujak was close enough to the powerful clan to be invited to this event, he ended up not attending.
Cheongryong looked regretful and continued the conversation, but Hyeonmu stared at the pile of gifts for a long time.
‘The shooters who appeared in Lubowon’s play seemed to be very close. In particular, Jujak cherished the shooter a lot.’
I don’t think there was anything wrong with it, the white tiger didn’t give a single hint.
“Hyunmu, how long are you planning to stay on the Korean peninsula? Didn’t the Chinese youth team that called upon the higher beings already return home?”
“I plan to stay a little longer with the child who came with me.”
On the last day of the performance of Piyeonggeuk, while I was visiting Yonggung, a higher being exerted his power at Hoyeon Hall.
The identity of that superior being is Fuxi.
Perhaps because he was very pleased with Yao Leqi’s performance and Lu Bowan’s shadow play, Fuxi shone down on the heads of the two who appeared for the curtain call.
Although he shared his power, it became a hot topic that Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and also considered the creator god of China, displayed such power in Korea.
As the play has just ended, the Chinese team has decided to return home quickly, and Lu Boyuan and Yao Leqi are said to be planning to stabilize their strength and travel to the areas with deep connections to Fuxi along the Yellow River to perform a play called Piyong.
‘As Renzouin Karen said, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have appointed new agents. And Li Wei and Xuanwu, the agents of the Yannong Divine Emperor, are still in the Korean Peninsula.’
Hyunmu had agreed to help meet the leaders of the two clans, so it would be difficult for him to return to China.
First of all, Hwang Ji-ho invited the leaders of each alliance because they were part of the 12-horse alliance, but the two clans did not respond.
Still, the heads of both clans sent gifts.
Judging from his regular attendance at the 12 Zodiac Alliance meetings and his warnings about nightmares, it seems like the leaders of the two clans are at least paying their respects.
On the other hand, there were some leaders who attended but did not pay much attention to formalities.
“Oh my! Heukho, I’m sorry I forgot!”
“Toyeon-ah! Oh my······ I missed you! Oh my······.”
As soon as Oktoyeon came back, she was chatting with Eunho’s descendants when she discovered Hwang Jiho going around greeting people with Heukho and Cheongho.
Then suddenly he grabbed Black Tiger and started crying, and Black Tiger started crying too.
Hwang Ji-ho wanted to kick out Okto-yeon on the grounds that she would bring bad luck on the day of the feast, but he held back because he thought that if he did something like that, Heuk-ho would also have to be kicked out because she was crying.
“It’s a good day, so cry a little and calm down.”
“I thought you’d kick me out right away, but you’re holding it together well. Thanks. I’ll take care of you two, so you go.”
“Oktoyoon, are you telling me to leave the black tiger behind in this body right now?”
Cheongho, who was caught in the war of nerves between a tiger and a rabbit, smiled bitterly.
It was a beautiful day, a wonderful feast, but apart from the tiger and the rabbit, there was another Jin tribe member who was upset.
“Why is there a crow here? Isn’t this one of the Demon King’s followers?”
Seodol, who seemed overly cheerful when he was greeted by me, crumpled his face when he saw the crow.
Although Cedellentium did not attend in person today, he received an invitation, and the Crow Clan entered the venue proudly with the invitation in their beaks.
The crows were positioned between the large chandeliers mounted on the ceiling to provide the best view of the entire hall, and the sharp-eyed Jin tribe quickly spotted them.
Since the fact that the servants were still guests of the powerful clan still remained, no one said anything about it, but Seodol was different.
“The Crow Demon King didn’t have enough connections with the powerful clan to be invited to a place like this. That means he must have done something worthwhile, but something big happened with the powerful clan at the time······.”
Seodol was glaring at the crow without hiding his displeasure and was coming up with a deduction that was almost true.
To borrow the expression of the Black Horse, Seodol was a ‘voyeuristic rat’, so he seemed to feel a hatred for his own kind towards the Sidelentium and was acting so persistently.
“I wanted to say hello to the leader of the Western clan, but it would be difficult.”
“Leave that voyeuristic rat alone.”
I was a little surprised because I heard exactly what I was thinking.
There was Gulinbursti and the Black Horse, who had recently become the official leaders of the Don tribe.
When I greeted the leader of the clan who only showed his face and left today, I also greeted Gullinbursty, who happened to be nearby.
From Gullinbursty’s perspective, I was just a human high school student with ties to a powerful clan, but I was friendly and spoke to him in a friendly manner.
If Gullinbursty becomes the official leader, a more proper 12-horse alliance meeting might be possible.
“There are so many of you. Isn’t this the first time since the creation of the barrier that so many leaders of the 12 Zodiac Alliances have gathered together?”
The one who said this was the beautiful monkey king, Jecheon Daeseong, wearing a golden long-legged goblin and an eye patch.
As Jecheon Daeseong said, there were a lot of leaders in this place.
‘All but four of the twelve zodiac signs were present. It’s not ordinary for eight people to gather for a 100th-day celebration.’
Among the Jin tribes belonging to the 12-horse alliance, four are absent.
One is that the leadership position is still vacant and a civil war is underway among those who remain.
A pair of sheep who don’t even think about coming out while complaining about nightmares.
A clan that is not particularly close to the powerful clan and thus only sent gifts.
A tribe that appears to have been absent on purpose to hide the fact that they are a close alliance with the powerful clan.
Other than that, everyone was present.
This means that the status of the aristocrats is not ordinary.
The black horse asked, wondering if it was unexpected that Jecheon Daeseong had come.
“Monkey, I didn’t know you’d come either. You were really busy, weren’t you?”
It is said that Jecheon Daeseong has hardly done any outside activities since he went to find Mujigi and participated in the battle on Christmas Eve.
I heard that he had to heal the wounded and that he had used up a lot of energy at that time, and that he had to travel around the world to alleviate the aftereffects of his friends who had become higher beings intervening in the present world.
It is said that the frequency of holding irregular lunch meetings has also decreased significantly.
By the way, the person who relayed this message was Doshi Hou, who seemed to be in constant contact with Jecheon Daeseong.
Jecheon Daeseong said.
“If you want to invite someone, you have to accept the invitation too.”
“Who should I invite and where? Hwangho?”
“There’s a big event coming up soon. I should invite Hwang Ho too. And since it’s an important event, the benefactor of the Won clan as well.”
At the same time, Jecheon Daeseong turned his head towards me.
I didn’t listen in because I wanted to eavesdrop, I just heard someone talking nearby, but I felt a little nervous.
The white tiger narrowed its eyes and took a step forward as if to block Jecheon Daeseong’s vision, but it would not be possible to avoid Jecheon Daeseong’s eyes that much, as his level had risen to the point of wearing an eyepatch.
“What, you too?”
“Yeah. I guess we’re in similar situations.”
The black horse also started looking this way.
I had a feeling that if I stayed around here any longer something annoying would happen, so I decided to get out of there for the time being.
I already greeted those two in advance, so it wouldn’t be too rude.
To calm my mind, I decided to look for silver advertisements.
‘In addition to the Jin tribe, quite a few humans were invited to today’s event. This is probably groundwork to reveal that Kim Shin-rok is the real name.’
There were quite a few people in this place who were related to the association, pro player teams, and silver advertisements.
Strictly speaking, it would be closer to the Yongjok side, but Yeom Bang-yeol also came, and Kwon Je-in, who is also an honorary teacher, also came to this place.
Hong Gyu-bin was also invited as a representative of the Players Association, but because he was busy, he only sent a greeting and a gift in the name of the Association.
Also, quite a few people from the Silver Advertising Association came.
‘Still, it seems like there are more students than faculty and staff.’
First of all, Cheon Dong-ha came here.
On the surface, there was no problem calling Cheon Dong-ha, as he was a visiting researcher at the Hwangmyeong Research Institute.
And of course, Andain and her family came here too.
“I wish I could have sang Sanghoon too. It’s too bad. I would have sang him if there wasn’t a big competition coming up.”
“Um······Sanghoon was the vice president of Dain’s class last year. It would be nice if he could come with me next time.”
Kim Yu-ri, who was accompanying Juk-ho, nodded and glanced in a certain direction.
Kim Yu-ri would know.
If Yoo Sang-hoon were here right now, his stomach would turn.
‘If you see Yoo Sang-hee appearing while being escorted by Do Won-woo, her outfit will burst.’
Yoo Sang-hee also had deep connections with the powerful families.
Yoo Sang-hee had taken Kim Shin-rok’s class before, and the healing spell she used had saved Jeokho, so it was natural for her to come here.
But I don’t know what Kim Shin-rok will think when he sees several of his disciples attending the 100th day celebration.
‘Wouldn’t Kim Shin-rok feel ashamed the more disciples he has?’
Considering that Kim Shin-rok has a similar personality to me, I think he would feel embarrassed even at a birthday party, but he would feel even more embarrassed at a 100th-day celebration.
Still, I guess I’m holding back because I know why my parents are holding a 100th-day party.
If my parents were to throw me a 100th-day celebration right now, I would gladly attend, no matter how embarrassing it might be.
As I was exchanging greetings with the silver advertisement people, the surroundings became noisy.
It seemed like the main character of the 100th day celebration had finally appeared.
