Chapter 574: Eungwang high festival (8)

Support Ex-Rank

After hearing the details, I was resolved to do her favor.

I think the tigers in the mansion would hate it if I do so, but I’m still going to do it.

Although it’s a little dangerous, everyone will be happy because it would ensure Hwang Jiho’s safety in the end.

“I will do it.”

“I thought you’d contemplate a little, but it seems like Hwangho-nim will suffer.”

“I think you told me because you trusted me. That’s why you gave me the fate of the unknown.”

The silver shadow seemed sorry at my reply.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

“I was originally going to leave the fate of the unknown to someone else. But you’re here.”

Can’t the fate of the unknown be used only by those with the Destiny skill?

I checked the Fate of the Unknown card in my hand.

[Item Name] Fate of the Unknown

[Type] Weapon

[Rarity] N~EX

[Skill Level] 0%

[Effect] Undecided

[Explanation]

A weapon whose name, rarity, and effectiveness change based on the user’s experience, expectations, imaginations, goals, and beliefs.

Only those with Destiny can use it.

I clearly remember that in the item’s explanation.

I don’t know if more people in this world have the skill, or if those who came from another world automatically have it.

“May I ask you a question about the other person?”

“It’s hard to answer. It’s hard to say unless it’s about me.”

There seemed to be a limit to what the silver shadow could talk about.

Other than herself or her request, she can’t seem to say much.

“You don’t have to worry about that person. I’ve relieved you of one of your troubles, so you can move on.”

“My trouble?”

“The relationship between the two protagonists has become awkward.”

The two protagonists...

Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain!

Well, it’s a serious concern that the title hero and heroine are becoming estranged.

I don’t know how she helped the two, but I believed the hero could absolutely solve it.

“You have a lot on your mind, but you better hurry up and enjoy the festival with those two.”

“Are you talking about Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain?”

“Yes.”

A consensus began to spring up.

She and I had a lot of things in common, but honestly, it didn’t feel real.

However, with the mention of Ahn Dain and Joo Soohyuk, I finally felt like she was indeed trying to save the world.

“Do you like those two?”

“Yes.”

I answered without hesitation.

I talk all day about how perfect and cool the two main characters are if I had the chance.

“The scope of my intervention is limited, so please help both of them well.”

“Yes, please leave it to me.”

Maybe she has a relationship with the two of them?

When I tried to ask another question, I felt a stinging sensation as if an electric current was flowing in my body.

Looking at the back of my hand, my skin became repeatedly dyed silver before returning to its original color.

The density of energy waves was so high that erosion proceeded.

She began to notice my condition.

“We have to say goodbye now. One last thing, I want to ask you a very personal favor.”

“Please go ahead.”

“Toyeon unnie misses Eunho-nim very much. If Hwangho-nim and Eunho-nim will allow it, arrange a meeting with them.”

The three children call Ok Toyeon unnie as well.

On the other hand, the kids and Eunho all call me hyung.

It was somewhat of a similar setup.

‘Ok Toyeon hid Eunho’s descendants from the Tiger Clan for thousands of years. She looks sloppy, but she can keep a really important secret.’

Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain, who seemed to have been the closest, arrived first.

“Soori-ah! Are you okay?”

“I’m okay. Sorry... Uhm, I was going to read a book for a second because I saw one that caught my attention, but somehow I got several recommendations and...”

She was accompanied by a lot of people during the tour, but the situation was obviously odd.

Simply doing something else for a second couldn’t have led to this situation.

Players who participated in the search may have noticed that Joo Soori’s disappearance involved something that was beyond human power.

Joo Soohyuk kindly soothed the shaken Joo Soori and asked how she was doing.

She was also next to Ahn Dain, and when she held her hand out to calm Joo Soori, the young Joo immediately held her hand.

Joo Soohyuk asked her questions, and Ahn Dain would also ask some.

‘The silver hero really helped the two!’

It was good to see the awkwardness disappear between Joo Soohyuk and Ahn Dain.

“...A blindfolded person gave you a book?”

“It must be Thoth. His favorite human is a teacher at this school, so he sometimes appears.”

“Oh, the being that gave Professor Jegal an order. Did he recommend you a book, Soori?”

Joo Soohyuk didn’t mention anything, but he seemed to think that it was strange.

The superior being could’ve simply shown the book to Joo Soori, but she was called to a place that was hard to find.

It would be stranger if he didn’t suspect it.

Before I could make a cover-up, Hwang Jiho spoke.

“It’s difficult to fathom a superior being’s intentions.”

“Yeah, I guess so...”

Superior beings do a lot of things that deviate from human common sense.

It was the same in the age of myths, and even in the world where collisions with otherworlds occur.

Joo Soohyuk accepted Hwang Jiho’s words.

“Thank you, Euishin-ah! I knew you’d find her.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s a relief we found her.”

This time, I really didn’t do anything.

On the contrary, Joo Soori went missing to lure me so I should be apologizing, but instead, I am being thanked.

Still, I couldn’t explain the situation but I had no choice but to accept the gratitude.

“I owe you a lot.”

“Thank you so much, Euishin-ah. It’s a relief that we found her quickly since the air in the basement isn’t so good.”

Joo Soogyeom and Oh Hyeji, who were on the first floor, joined us and thanked me.

Somehow, all the credit for finding Joo Soori was given to me.

It was hard to hear because I know that I shouldn’t be receiving thanks.

Hwang Jiho must’ve guessed the situation roughly and know my situation, but the old man only smiled as I was being bombarded with greetings.

His anger seemed to have calmed down though.

“Uh... thank you for finding me. I would’ve been stuck here reading books forever if Euishin oppa didn’t come.”

Joo Soori, who was still holding Ahn Dain’s hand, thanked me as well.

She gave me her device code, saying that she wants to give me something in return later.

At this rate, I might collect the device codes of all of the Joo-Oh Group.

The missing case was concluded with the cover-up that Thoth called a talented young player to recommend a book.

However, Hwang Jiho didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving things at that.

After the search party disbanded, Hwang Jiho spoke to me.

“Let’s hear what happened, Jo Euishin.”

...How much should I say to this old man?

I’d have to tell him, but I haven’t sorted out things in my head yet.

I decided to ask for time.

“Let’s roam around the festival.”

“Jo Euishin...”

Hwang Jiho grumbled but still followed me.

When we were taking a shortcut to get to the third-year area...

We encountered suspicious people in the dark.

“Geuhk! I can’t believe there are people like this.”

“But people are better than ghosts. Let’s be positive!”

“Don’t give up. As long as there are still ghosts in that old building, our exorcism is not over!”

I’ve never seen them before, but I immediately recognized the group.

They were the Class Zero alumni.
