‘What are you doing here.’
The 30’s version of Golden Tiger noticed I recognized him and smiled with twinkling eyes.
‘He’s not even trying to hide his identity.’
His facial expressions could clearly be seen as all his hair was combed neatly back.
Perhaps because he had many avatars of different ages, this version had a natural expression that an adult in his 30s would make.
The usual mischievous face Jiho Hwang had wasn’t there.
His impression was so different that people who didn’t know the truth would think they were merely relatives that looked similar.
‘The twinkle in his eye is the same, though.’
The group surrounding Golden Tiger, who had been talking, became quiet as I got closer.
They must’ve been talking about something that shouldn’t be heard.
“He knows. It’s okay.”
I do know, but I’m not sure if it’s okay to hear a private conversation.
I saw the group wearing suits give me a sideways glance at my necklace-type staff name tag.
“Daily staff, Eui-shin Cho.”
“Eui-shin Cho……”
Reading my name tag aloud, four men and women in suits looked surprised.
“Oh, this student is……”
“So he is human.”
“He’s the one who saved the Descendants of Silver Tiger.”
According to their conversation, those four seemed to be members of the Tiger clan.
‘Somehow my name spread among the Tiger clan.’
Jiho Hwang has to be behind all this.
There is no way White Tiger, Red Tiger, or Shin-lok Kim talked about me.
“I thought he was an Original Clan member or a Descendant.”
“Well, he looks completely human.”
“Miraculous······!”
The four left Golden Tiger alone and started talking to me.
After exchanging device codes, they gave me their business cards. All four of them were Hwangmyong corporation employees.
“I need to talk to this guy. Excuse us.”
The 30’s version Golden Tiger said, Pointing with his chin.
“What?”
“Can we really go, Golden Tiger sir?”
“Really?”
“Are you serious?”
The four Tiger clan members did not let down their guard.
‘They’re concerned about leaving me and Golden Tiger alone?’
Until a while ago, they said I was the Silver Tiger’s Descendant’s savior or something. What was happening?
“Golden Tiger, sir, if we enter now, we’ll use all our tickets and get our seats immediately.”
“Golden Tiger, sir, you’re not going to take away one of our tickets, right? I was really looking forward to Jae-in Kwon’s concert in Korea. You came here for no reason, right? Right? We can all really go in?”
“Golden Tiger, sir……! Please don’t change your mind.”
“We worked hard to take a break today.”
“Even if we are all Tiger clan, fighting with Taeho-kwon martial arts hurts really bad! I earned my ticket by fighting despite all the pain!”
They were worried because the head of the Tiger clan was fickle.
Golden Tiger once said if he confiscated their tickets, they would cry, and looking at their desperate expressions now, it was true. I wouldn’t be surprised if they fell to the ground crying when he takes away their tickets.
“I really wanted to go to the Manchester Arena solo concert…… but my passport came out late!”
“Yeah, at that time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Other-world were fighting over the safety problems of the Original clans if they were to travel to other countries……”
“Then both ministers were fired at the same time due to their children’s illegal school admissions.”
“Yeah, I was told that the Dragon clan got really angry and did a secret investigation after their Descendants’ field trip to a foreign country was canceled.”
“Oh, our secretary team helped with that. Although we couldn’t go to the concert anyway even if the two bastards were fired.”
It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Other-world got owned. All the efforts of making connections to the Original clan by fighting over traveling divisions gone down the drain.
It wasn’t covered in the game, but the Dragon and Tiger clan seemed to get along in some areas.
“Anyway, if you’re going to take the ticket, win it over with Taeho-kwon…… He’ll beat us right away, though.”
“We follow the Blue Tiger’s will. Don’t back down before a fight! ……Although, yeah, it’s obvious that we’ll lose.”
“We’ll do our best in the name of Blue Tiger, the maker of Taeho-kwon and our master!”
“Blue Tiger, sir, please watch over us!”
So it was the Blue Tiger that created Taeho-kwon.
And these four are Blue Tiger’s disciples.
Golden Tiger watched their overreactions apathetically, then eventually opened his mouth.
“……Get out of here before I change my mind.”
They were subtlety getting under Golden Tiger’s skin, so I thought one of them was actually going to lose their ticket today.
However, the head of the Tiger clan showed mercy.
“Yes! We’ll go!”
“Thank you, sir. We’ll get out of your sight immediately!”
“Then see you next time, Golden Tiger. Please don’t look for us until the concert is over.”
“See you too, savior of the Descendants!”
The four of them disappeared from mine and Golden Tiger’s sight.
They walked alarmingly above the speed of normal humans’ running and disappeared into Hoyeon Hall.
Watching the four of them scurry off, Golden Tiger rubbed his temple.
“If they weren’t the disciples that Blue Tiger left behind, I would’ve taught them a lesson in Taeho-kwon.”
“……Well, the Blue Tiger’s disciples seem to be a hardcore fan of Jae-in Kwon.”
“Yeah. Blue Tiger and the disciples are obsessed with ‘sound’. If Blue Tiger had been here, he would’ve fallen in love with Jae-in Kwon’s music as well.”
Blue Tiger, another mythological Tiger clan that appears in the Founding Mythology.
The sacred Tiger that prayed to the god of the heavens to always assist god’s son had never appeared directly in the game.
Where did Blue Tiger go, leaving all his disciples to Golden Tiger?
‘Is Blue Tiger still beside the son of god?’
“No one knows where Blue Tiger is.”
“Huh?”
“You seemed curious. Blue Tiger disappeared without any warnings or regrets, leaving just a word that said ‘I wish to grant the wishes of the son of god.’”
He disappeared, just like that.
For the wish of son of god?
I can’t guess what kind of wish the son of the god of heavens had.
“The sacred area of the Tiger clan is in Eun-kwang high school, and this place is filled with wonderful sounds. Blue Tiger will come to this place.”
I detected a hint of longing in Golden Tiger’s voice.
‘Golden Tiger was thinking about this all along……’
Endless support for music clubs.
The class bell system of the high school.
Constant Invited performances at the Sang-in Hall.
‘It wasn’t just for improving students’ well-being.’
He did it all while waiting for Blue Tiger, his long-lost old friend, to come back.
“Although it’d be faster to capture the god’s son first. He likes its voice more than anything.”
Like Blue Tiger, son of god is also missing as well.
So there’s no clue whatsoever.
The atmosphere became much heavier than when Blue Tiger’s disciples fussed around.
In this case, it is best to change the subject of the conversation.
“You wanted to tell me something.”
“Oh, it’s the reason I came here. Jae-in Kwon contacted our clan. She wanted to talk to the clan’s official. That’s why I’m here.”
The subject has changed so much.
‘Jae-in contacting the Tiger clan? Why?’
It wasn’t like this in the game.
However, there was no description of Jae-in Kwon visiting Korea during this period or approaching the clan, either.
There is a possibility that it was simply not covered in the game, though.
‘Among the events that have happened so far, what made Kwon’s behavior change?’
Like the butterfly effect discussed in the chaos theory, the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can trigger a typhoon. The outcome of my actions is likely to have triggered this situation.
While I was looking back on the events that have occurred in this world because of me, Golden Tiger’s words continued.
“Usually, I send someone else, but there was something concerning me.”
“What?”
“The reason Kwon suddenly visited Korea was due to the request of Jae-gun Yong.”
The cause of this was Jae-gun Young?
I never imagined he’d have something to do with this.
“Not only did the tickets come to Myung-ho Hwang, but I also received another one for the spokesman of the clan. Thanks to this, it is possible to enter the concert hall. I didn’t tell Blue Tiger’s disciples.”
An invitation came out from the inner pocket of his suit jacket.
“Actually, I was going to take a ticket from them if it was necessary, but there was no need.”
Golden Tiger in his 30s version had a playful face like his teen avatar, Jiho Hwang.
Fortunately for the Blue Tiger’s disciples, they no longer had a threat to cry about.
I put all the posters in the designated locations and returned to the concert hall.
I just left for a while and returned, but the air had changed.
I just left for a while and returned, but the air had changed.
At the end of everyone’s gaze, there was Jae-in Kwon holding a violin.
‘It’s cooler than I imagined in real life.’
The violinist in a turquoise off-shoulder dress stood gracefully on the stage.
Jane Kwon nodded her head once towards his acoustic staff, then took the chinrest of the violin under her neck.
She closed her eyes, which was as blue as a clear lake, and all the sound from the world seemed to disappear.
As her bow struck the strings, the concert hall overflowed with sound again.
“Wow······!”
“She can make sounds like this while TUNING?”
Kwon Jae-in was tuning the violin.
All she was doing was adjusting the notes one by one on her pegs, but exclamations burst out from here and there.
“This is amazing. I almost thought it was a psychic wave. She sounds great even during tuning.”
Golden Tiger looked at Jae-in Kwon, his eyes shining.
‘In the game, the scene where Kwon Jae-in performs was played by inputting the music notes into a digital synthesizer and outputting it as a background sound, so I didn’t know it was this amazing.’
I imagined what the actual performance will be like.
Meanwhile, Jae-in Kwon, who was finished with tuning, started giving instructions to the acoustic staff.
Yuri and Lenna, who were almost captivated by her and staring, finally realized I came back.
“Oh, Eui-shin. You here?”
“Ah, sorry for letting you do all the poster work……!”
“No, it’s okay.”
I couldn’t win the ticketing war, so this was the least I could do.
“Then see you later, Eui-shin Cho.”
As the two approached me, The 30’s version Golden Tiger turned his back and said goodbye.
If he gets seen by Yuri and Lenna, things might get complicated, so it was a good choice.
“He kinda looks like Jiho.”
“Huh? Really…… He feels so different. I don’t know.”
Lenna’s eyes seem sharp.
It was Lenna who could tell the difference between my version of Jun-yeoul Yeom and the real Jun-yeoul.
I thought for a moment how to change the subject, but there was no need.
“Hi.”
A calm voice rang in my ears.
No way, as I turned my head, I saw blue eyes looking at the three of us.
It was Jae-in Kwon.
“Hello.”
“Ah, Hello!”
“Wow, wow…!”
Yuri and I said hello back almost like a reflex, but Lenna covered her mouth, all flustered.
Jae-in looked at us one after another with tranquil eyes.
The last thing that stopped her gaze was Lenna’s staff badge hanging around her neck.
“······Daily staff? Do you have a part-time job?”
Jae-in’s voice is a little cold.
Was it so surprising?
It would be strange that a Eun-kwang high school student who can attack the Other-world does not have money and works part-time.
Lenna, frozen by her gaze, stuttered her words.
“I, I, I wanted to see you up close, that’s why……!”
At Lenna’s words, Jae-in Kwon looked relieved.
She must’ve been concerned about her juniors.
“Oh, right. That’s an honor.”
Jae-in was an artist with a unique sensibility, and a capricious person, but now she seemed like a caring school senior.
Yuri must have sensed the same because she gathered the courage to ask something.
“Senior Jae-in, I have a question… Can I ask you a question?”
“Tell me.”
“I heard that the Sang-in Hall was open for use today. Is there a reason you chose Hoyeon Hall?”
I was curious about that too.
If it had been the Sang-in Hall, there would have been more room for ticketing.
“Because Hoyeon Hall is pretty.”
Yuri looked slightly awestruck.
The sensibility of a global artist seems to be a bit peculiar.
“Then I’ll ask a question too.”
“Huh? Yeah, of course!”
As if not expecting a question back, Yuri responded in a surprised voice.
She was tensed up, but that did not stop the question.
Jae-in was looking at a beaded butterfly hairpin worn by Yuri.
“Do you like butterflies?”
Was it that hairpin she bought at a handmade accessory store in front of the school?
Yuri Kim relaxed and answered brightly.
“Yes, I like it! Do you like butterflies too?”
“No, I don’t like it.”
In response to the answer, even Yuri Kim, who is at the highest level of social skills, became confused and tilted her head.
Why would she ask about butterflies when she doesn’t like them herself.
I don’t know what Jae-in Kwon is thinking.
She added one more word.
“But I came to Korea to look for a butterfly.”
