After answering, Jun-yeoul Yeom prepared to summon the red dragon just in case.
‘She might want to take me by force.’
The distance between the lounge and the hall with his acquaintances in it.
The determined power of this Original clan.
His own power.
Jun-yeoul made a conclusion.
‘I’ll be able to hold her off until my father or Uncle Blue Dragon comes.’
He resolved to show what he had learned from his mentor, Phantom of the Red Wall.
“Hohoho, you’re educated well. Nothing like my troublemaker son.”
The Original clan lady showed no intention of attacking.
Jun-yeoul let his guard down a little.
“You have a son.”
“Yes. What a tight spot I was in when he came looking for me with this unknown Original clan.”
Tight spot because her son came looking for her with an Original clan?
What a weird way to say something.
“Your teachers are the Lord of Red Flame and the dragon with wanderlust. They have such a good disciple, they must be happy.”
Every time the Original clan women laughed, her hair and red dress hem shook a little.
“It’s a shame I can’t talk longer. Will you give this to Je-gun Yong?”
The woman held out an item card.
Jun-yeoul did not take it.
“It might be dangerous. So no.”
“The descendant of the Dragon grew up so nice. But take it anyway. This item card will please Je-gun Yong.”
The Original clan lady came up to Jun-yeoul, smiling, and pressed his hands tightly.
He did not feel threatened by the series of actions, nor did she seem to have any intention of harming Jun-yeoul.
However, Jun-yeoul, with his hand in hers, broke out a cold sweat on the back.
‘I couldn’t avoid her!’
Jun-yeoul was convinced that if she wanted to, she would be able to quietly kidnap himself.
The Original clan woman smiled as if nothing had happened.
“Such a shame I can’t talk longer with you…… but borrowing his eyes was worth it. Hoho, the descendant of the Dragon clan is such a sweet child.”
“Who are you?”
The Original did not answer.
Instead, she took out a perfume bottle and aimed the nozzle toward Jun-yeoul.
“When we meet next time, let’s talk about the child who looked like you.”
“What? Wait a minute!”
The child who looked like him.
When Jun-yeoul heard her say that, he thought of his other teacher, Phantom of the Red Wall.
The Original clan lady ignored Jun-yeoul’s refusal.
When she pressed the head of the nozzle, something colorless and odorless was sprayed toward him.
Paa -!
Jun-yeoul’s eyesight was blurred for a moment.
The Original clan women disappeared after that.
‘She’s gone……’
Jun-yeoul clutched the item card and looked back at what had just happened.
A powerful Original clan that seemed to be associated with the Phantom of the Red Wall and Je-gun Yong.
The item card she left behind.
Jun-yeoul’s head spun.
‘If I tell my father and Uncle Blue Dragon, they may be put in a difficult situation. I’d better consult Je-gun hyung first.’
Jun-yeoul organized his thoughts when he sensed someone hesitating in the doorway of the hotel lounge.
“So, um, Jun-yeoul.”
It was the head of the Dragon clan, Blue Dragon.
He even formed a brothership with Bang-yeoul Yeom just because he wanted to be called Blue Dragon “uncle” by Jun-yeoul.
“So…… The fact that you are the best remains unchanged!”
That was out of context, so Jun-yeoul was a bit confused, but said thanks anyway because it was a compliment.
“Thank you, uncle Blue Dragon.”
As he answered, sighs poured out from near the door.
“Blue Dragon sir, if you can’t do better than that, change roles!”
“He INSISTED that he should be the one going to Jun-yeoul, but he can’t even comfort him properly!”
“I’d rather call Bang-yeoul Yeom.”
The voices of the Red Lion team members and members of the Dragon clan.
‘They’re here to comfort me.’
Jun-yeoul noticed their intentions and smiled brightly.
“Thank you all. I’m fine.”
“Jun Yeol……!”
“He took that shit as comfort, he is such a big-hearted guy!”
“Jun-yeoul, I couldn’t ask you earlier, but can we take a photo together? The suit looks perfect on you!”
“Me too! I brought a camera just for it!”
Jun-yeoul laughed as he received lots of photo requests.
He was very upset by the defeat in the chess tournament, but soon, it became nothing.
Jun-yeoul took pictures with the Dragon clan and the Red Lion team members.
Just then, he realized something.
‘No one is noticing that I was with an Original.’
Perhaps it was because of that unidentified perfume.

The 8-person room in Eun-kwang-gu’s Korean beef course cuisine restaurant.
There were two four-person tables, so we were divided into two groups.
One table with me, Hyo-don Maeng, Yuri Kim, and Lenna Kwon.
The other had Jiho Hwang, Se-eum Sawol, and Han-yi.
“Then, let’s celebrate and toast the championship of Ui-shin!”
At the end of Yuri’s lively toast, the children raised their glasses and clanked them into each other’s glasses.
Everyone, including me, ordered a soft drink, but Jiho, the old man he was, ordered cold green tea.
“Thanks for your support, everyone.”
“It was fun to watch!”
“Yes, that’s right. I don’t know chess, but it made me want to play it.”
“Starting next week, Stalemate will be having a chess class for beginners.”
“Really? Would you like to come with me?”
“Yeah, let’s go. It won’t overlap with my part-time job, I think.”
It looked like Se-eum and Han-yi would start playing chess soon.
Making the tournament extravagant and holding a beginner’s lesson right after was probably to increase the number of chess player’s in Eun-kwang high.
“When’s the tenderloin coming out?”
“They need to rest the meat, so probably later.”
“…… Rest?”
“Just after it’s cooked, the juice in the meat swells and you have to wait until the pressure stabilizes. You need to let it rest until the juice spreads back into the meat.”
“Gourmet” Hyo-don seemed more interested in the upcoming tenderloin and loin than chess.
Hyo-don nodded at Yuri’s explanations and continued the conversation.
He still had a long way to go, but Hyo-don seemed to get the hang of speaking to Yuri.
“I never had beef sashimi before. This is interesting.”
Lenna Kwon looked surprised as she tried the beef sashimi with herring roe.
Other than the sashimi, Lenna seemed to be unfamiliar with all the other menus as well.
Before the tenderloin and loin came out, we had beef flank, top blade, brisket, ribeye cap, and sirloin.
Lenna said the only ones she had eaten were the ones that were on the school menu.
Despite receiving 30 billion won, that step-parents of hers didn’t even buy her beef.
“What was the most delicious? I’ll order more of that.”
“Huh? Oh, don’t know, they were all good.”
Lenna said, after some hesitation.
If my playable characters like everything, I couldn’t help it.
I decided to order all the menus.
“Jiho’s spring onion salad sauce is so good! Why?”
“……Don’t want to admit it, but yeah, it is good.”
“I mixed the sauces myself, it has to be good. But why don’t you want to admit that?”
On the table next to us, Jiho mixed basic sauces to make the ultimate spring onion salad sauce.
Age comes with experience, I guess.
In addition, Jiho Hwang chose menus that suited Se-eum’s and Han-yi’s tastes and fed them.
“I’m so full but all the menus that Jiho chose are so yummy, I can’t stop.”
“……I really hate to admit it, but it’s great.”
“Hahaha! Make me want to order more seeing you hating to admit my tastes.”
Se-eum liked western dishes than Korean food.
Han-yi had a severe sweet tooth.
I thought the two wouldn’t eat Korean beef that much, but thanks to Jiho, they were filling up their bellies.
‘Jiho seems to care about those two of our class the most.’
Se-eum saved Seo-ho Eun, who visited Jiho on April fool’s day.
Han was the Successor of Tae-ho kwon, founded by Blue Tiger, who was a friend of Jiho.
Jiho made fun of and bothered the two of them the most, but seeing him taking care of their food, he really was fond of them.
“Stop laughing.”
“Jiho laughs too much!”
“Hahaha!”
Jiho continued to laugh at the sight of them scowling but still moving their chopsticks busily.
Jiho was becoming more and more the no.1 crazy guy of the class.
“I wish Green was here.”
“I told her that we had a separate room…… but she declined. She seems to have plans in the evening.”
When we finished our meal, I heard a conversation between Lenna and Yuri.
‘Plans……’
Maybe Green Min went to Dae-suk Song’s house.
I made a proposal to comfort the two people who were unhappy.
“Let’s go to a dessert cafe.”
“Let’s go!”
“I’m going.”
“Me too.”
Se-eum, Han-yi, and Hyo-don answered at once.
* * *
The second place we went was a cake buffet at Hwang-myung Tower.
Jiho Hwang seemed to develop a hobby of choosing the right menus for the kids, so he volunteered to choose the cakes.
As a result, the kids were constantly eating.
Jiho’s cake selection was excellent.
The pound cake with orange peel and glaze, which he just picked for me, was perfect for my taste.
As Han-yi said, I hated to admit it, but he was good.
“This MF is legit, man.”
“I’m full but I’m eating.”
“……Hate you again.”
“Delicious! I did not expect this from celery roll cake.”
“Right? I was so shocked because it’s so good.”
Jiho Hwang laughed like a maniac listening to what the kids said, then suddenly stopped laughing and muttered quietly.
“I’ve practiced a lot since I nearly made Jaeho cry.”
When Jiho gave a load of seafood to Jaeho, who didn’t like seafood?
“I’m going to choose cakes again.”
Said Jiho Hwang, as he got up and moved to the cake bar.
It felt like ordering the head of the Tiger clan around, and I wasn’t sure if that was allowed.
‘Huh?’
Just then, I felt someone’s gaze.
I turned my head, and I saw a familiar face.
‘That person is the chief designer of Neuroo I saw the other day.’
One of the world’s top five luxury fashion brands, “Neuroo”, leading the world’s fashion trends.
He was dressed luxuriously as the chief designer should.
The embroidery on the collar of the diamond lapel jacket was very noticeable.
Most people won’t dream of wearing that design.
The designer, who I made eye contact with, smiled and waved to me.
‘He remembers me from seeing me once?’
I bowed my head, but when I lifted my gaze again, he was gone.
“Now, the next cake has come! “Hahaha!”
“It looks delicious.”
“It may not be delicious this time……!”
“Let’s eat anyway.”
I lifted my fork up again.
Unfortunately, the angel food cake with the meringue he brought this time was also very delicious.
* * *
We chatted in the Cake buffet until it closed, then parted ways.
I came back to my dorm room.
I didn’t know when I was with the kids, but when I came into the room, I felt my body was heavy.
It must be fatigue from competing with Kyung-gu Kwak and Jun-yeoul Yeom.
‘Congratulation messages…… I need to reply.’
After washing up, I didn’t have the strength to check my texts so I collapsed on my bed and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
The next morning.
Before attending the party on board, which started late in the afternoon, I decided to stop at Myung-ho Hwang’s Mansion.
I needed to talk to Jiho Hwang before I went.
‘I need to decide between the plans I’ve come up with. And there’s an important matter, too.’
When I arrived at the front door, Jiho, who saw me, said a word.
“Ui-shin Cho, what is all that?”
“Olmu’s presents.”
My hands were full of gifts to give to Olmu.
