Chapter 408

At one of Hwangmyeong Mansion’s annexes.

I slept very well, and the morning I woke up to was the best.

Woof...!

Olmu, who woke up before I did, was waiting for me!

With Olmu’s greeting, the sleepiness quickly drained away from my body and was replaced by full vitality.

“Since when have you been awake? You don’t want to sleep anymore?”

Woof woof!

I thought the angel was overdoing himself because of me, but Olmu sounded so alive and healthy perhaps because he’s a genius.

I was so proud of his appearance that I bolted from the bed before I realized it just so I could pet Olmu and give him well-deserved praise.

I came to my senses when the thought of Olmu finding my praises a bother, but the kind Olmu didn’t seem to mind it.

‘I should consider the possibility that I won’t be able to stop by my dorm any time soon.’

This room in the annex had a walk-in closet.

It was filled with school uniforms, casual clothes, bags, sneakers, shoes, and many more.

I hesitated for a while because my hands didn’t go as smoothly as I thought they would, but the fit of the school uniform and dress shirt was exact for my body.

‘The sleeves of the uniform I have is starting to feel a little short.’

The ones prepared here were slightly larger than the school uniform and shoes I applied for at the beginning of the semester.

They probably noticed that I got taller.

I decided that I should take into consideration my growth rate when applying for a uniform next year, and then I headed out of the room.

“...”

Right when I opened the door, my main playable character Baekho-gun greeted me.

I almost said ‘What you looking at?’ the moment we made eye contact, but I was able to swallow the words that almost came out.

‘I can’t make the same mistake as last time!’

I almost made a similar mistake when I first encountered Baekho-gun in this world.

“Did you sleep well?”

I would’ve greeted him first if I hadn’t almost made a slip of the tongue.

My main playable character who doesn’t speak much had just greeted me, so I answered him with joy.

“Yeah, you?”

“...”

He didn’t respond right away.

Instead of answering “yes”, he said that his physical condition was okay.

From what he said, it seems like Baekho-gun hadn’t slept at all.

‘We talked about Sanryeong with Eunho before we went to bed. Could it be related to that?’

Is Sanryeong disturbing Baekho-gun’s sleep?

I should help catch Sanryeong next time I get the chance.

Baekho-gun and I headed to the first floor of the annex, and we ran into Eunho and Hwang Jiho.

The two quickly checked my physical condition as soon as they saw me.

I knew that they were both worried about me but...

I felt like a patient.

Still, I couldn’t just refuse to be examined.

Especially to Eunho.

‘...Eunho saw me at the last moments of my life when he was Cheon Sungheon, so I have no choice.’

I don’t know yet how far Eunho has talked about my condition in the previous world.

Still, even if I don’t ask, I could tell that Eunho was mindful of it.

The result of the short examination was the two tigers leading me to the dining room without many words.

“Yours truly made everything for this morning. We ate a little too much yesterday, so I prepared a simple menu.”

Hwang Jiho said that he didn’t prepare much, but looking at the table, it didn’t seem like it at all.

Not counting the red bean rice and seaweed soup with perilla seeds, the number of side dishes prepared exceeded double digits, so how is it a simple meal?

It wasn’t as grand as the birthday meal we had yesterday, but all the dishes were different from yesterday so it doesn’t seem to be simple at all.

“Hi, Cheon Dongha sunbaenim.”

I greeted Cheon Dongha normally, but this old man, who stopped pretending to be a human in front of Cheon Dongha, displayed his fossil age early in the morning.

“Good work in the morning, I see.”

“...I know Jiho isn’t human, but it’s very awkward.”

Cheon Dongha looked at Hwang Jiho with a complicated expression.

Hwang Jiho playfully put on a “younger” expression.

“Shall I change the way I speak?”

“That’s still awkward. Anyway, you’re from Class Zero, Jiho. I’ll just pass it off as a weird Class Zero hoobae thing.”

...Well, I guess regarding him as Class Zero works too.

After all, our classmates already accepted Hwang Jiho’s old-guy language.

Anyway, Cheon Dongha looked defeated.

The recent revelation of his hidden younger brother’s secret was revealed, so I guess he’s now immune to most things.

He looked around, checking if there were other people around, before speaking.

“I was going to talk about Eunha later, but I think it’s better for the Tiger Clan to take care of him for the time being.”

“The atmosphere at home mustn’t be so good.”

Cheon Dongha had a complex face.

His family is a conglomerate family whose hands are precious.

The Cheon family is one of the pillars of the TC Group, which is infested with all kinds of suspicious activities.

“Yes. If possible, I think it’s best that we keep up a front that he’s still paralyzed until just before the Eungwang High entrance exam. I’ll do my best to prepare things so that he won’t have any problems.”

“Alright. Tell me right away if there’s any problem.”

“...I never knew I’d be indebted to the Hwangmyeong Group again.”

Cheon Dongha and Hwang Jiho talked about Eunho’s future for a while.

It seems like the day when Eunho comes out of the annex is still a bit far away.

By the time they finished talking, I asked for something to change the atmosphere.

“You’re at the gate earlier than usual today. Is there something wrong?”

“Professor Ham Geunhyung asked me to.”

A request from Professor Ham Geunhyung?

Did something happen lately?

“There was a problem at the broadcasting station recently, I guess that’s why. We’re trying to preempt anything by deploying student council teams everywhere.”

“So the other student council members are deployed too.”

“Yeah. I have a wide vision so I can deal with being on my own.”

The problem at the broadcasting station.

Professor Ham Geunhyung.

Student Council members guarding gates.

From those, I could deduce why Cheon Dongha was here and what sort of favor Ham Geunhyung asked him.

“Will Dokgo Miro attend school today?”

Dokgo Miro coming back to school warrants this kind of activity at least.

Cheon Dongha nodded, confirming my guess.

“That’s right. Miro was a runner-up in the audition program, and there was a big incident in her last episode in Playlist. We’re preparing for media people to cause trouble. ...Oh?”

Cheon Dongha looked up and stared far away as if he saw something.

Apparently, his light skill wasn’t activated, but it seems like he was looking around with his intuition skill.

“...Why is he riding that?”

Cheon Dongha muttered with a puzzled look.

Hwang Jiho also looked in the general direction as if he sensed something approaching.

And, as soon as something entered my field of vision...

A fiery energy wave flies in the air.

‘It’s Yeom Junyeol...!’

From the sky, it was Yeom Junyeol flying toward Eungwang High on Hongryong’s back.
