The event did not take very long.
All Jae Ho had to do was get a plaque of appreciation and take pictures.
Oh, after receiving the plaque of appreciation, there was also a brief interview with reporters.
At first, there were questions about the incident, but soon after, only questions about competitions and games were poured out.
The atmosphere has become like a press conference for Jae-ho.
"There is a rumor that Hwang Jae-ho's participation in the game is limited to this exhibition league!"
"There's a lot of controversy about the real estate business at the Elisia Plantation. The auction is rumored to be a hoax...….”
"How did you get to know Loonior? Real Looniore...….”
In the endless parade of game-related questions, a reporter asked questions unrelated to the game for the first time.
"Did you happen to know that the victim was Il Sung's daughter?”
"......Ah!"
Only then did the reporters come to their senses.
Among the officials who gathered behind Jae-ho, there was a bad stone that had become a folding screen.
"No, I didn't know."
Jae-ho answered firmly.
Then the reporter continued, his eyes glistening sharply.
"There are rumors that Hwang Jae-ho has some kind of relationship with Ilsung. Is that right?"
"I don't know what the rumors are, but I have nothing to do with it."
"Then why did you go to the Ilsung capsule store to buy the capsule?”
“???”
"There's no way Hwang Jae-ho, a professional gamer, can use a monolithic product with performance problems. Aren't you sneaking around to promote your product?"
Jae-ho looked at the reporter with a ridiculous look on his face.
And the reporter misunderstood Jae-ho's expression as embarrassing and pushed ahead with excitement.
"In fact, there are testimonies that the culprit was caught too easily during the pickpocket incident. They say he's a habitual criminal, and then he's good at running away. How did you catch him so fast when he's already up the stairs and in the crowd!"
“…….”
Jae-ho was still in agony.
"Speak! Is it true that it has nothing to do with Ilsung Electronics? Why can't you tell me if you're really proud?!!"
"Oh, the reason I couldn't say...….”
Jae-ho looked up and stared straight at the reporter.
"I was thinking about how to get that kind of delusion. That's great."
Clap clap-
When Jae-ho even clapped his hands, people around him burst into laughter.
"That's not a proper answer!"
a blushing reporter's cry
"No, it doesn't have to be answered. You can check it out if you go online right now, so look at it and write an article. All you've said is brain delusions."
Jae-ho said, "Just say it."
Now that you're famous, there's this side effect.’
Most of them refrained from making nonsense out of Jae-ho's harsh atmosphere, but sometimes there were reporters who were greedy.
those who overstrain the pressure of performance
Jae-ho was not easily caught in the Internet's rumors of tabloid rumors and questions to fit into his hypothesis.
The common illusion that people used to make was that Jae-ho would be a fighter with only physical skills.
However, Jae-ho was quick-witted and smart.
In fact, before starting the game, Jae-ho was a model student who was favored by many professors.
-Jaeho. Of course you should go to graduate school, right?
-Jaeho student. Do you have any thoughts of joining the project I'm working on?
He used to receive numerous suggestions like this.
It was difficult to defeat Jae-ho of the Trinity Trinity, who jumped at him without any reason.
"I'm sorry, but I won't answer any questions that are not worth answering. Everyone here will be very busy anyway."
And the interview that followed ended without any major problems.
* * *
"Yes, well done, everybody."
"Yes, then go home with care!"
"I'll be looking forward to the last game!"
After greeting officials, Jae-ho left the office.
"Huh? Player Hwang!"
At that moment, Han-dol called Jae-ho, who approached as if he had run into him.
"Oh, hello. You haven't gone yet, have you?”
The two people who already greeted each other at the beginning of the event.
But Han-dol couldn't be satisfied with it.
Didn't you say a word of proper conversation?
"Haha, I was just about to leave. Hmph.......... is Hwang going now too?"
"Right. I'm already behind in my work.”
"Hmm.... ...where is your house? If you don't mind, our driver could give you a ride.”
"No, it's not that far. Besides, I think you should be careful when I was asked if there was something else with Ilsung Electronics."
"Ha......Haha. He, he is! Obviously, superstars are different.”
“?”
Jae-ho questioned Han-dol's awkward attitude.
What's wrong with you?’
On the other hand, Han-dol.
'Oh, my God, that reporter was talking nonsense.…!!’
He clearly remembered the reporter's face.
"Hmm, uh, thanks anyway. Because you helped my daughter last time."
"So I don't see your daughter?"
"Huh? Where's this guy?"
I forced her away from me, who was about to follow me because I was embarrassed, but Han-dol looked around, pretending for no reason.
"......you, Mr. Chairman."
"Uh, eh?"
"If it's because of what happened a few days ago, I'm fine. Wouldn't it be more difficult for Ilsung to make a big job to apologize? There's nothing wrong with the product."
Jae-ho, who thought the capsule incident was the reason why Han-dol was so nervous, first brought it up.
But that was a perfect misunderstanding.
There's no way Ilsung, the chairman of the electronics giant, would apologize in such a state of panic for what an employee did at an unknown store.….
"Oh, he, is he......... Hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
"It's a compliment, so I'll get going."
"Ah-oh, yeah."
Jae-ho turned around leaving a stone full of sadness on his face.
I never thought he'd come here to get his autograph and a commemorative photograph.….

"Wow! Then will you come to Korea in the final match?”
May, who was watering the garden, asked Samantha, who was working with her.
"Yes. I'm going to travel to Korea this time. Besides, it's Alsia's game, so I'm going to go for an intuition
"Awesome! Do you have a place to stay?"
"No, not yet......... could you help me? You're the only one I could ask."
"Of course! Leave it to me! Oh, then I'll have to tell Alsia, too. Can you get me a ticket?"
"Ticket? Maybe we can talk to the team."
Jae-ho readily answered Mei's question.
"Good. Samantha, you said you live in America, right?"
"Yes, I'm in New York."
"Wow... ...it must be very hard to come.”
Jae-ho shook his head.
"Then let's go on a trip together just in time for Samantha."
"Oh?! Shall we?"
May, who's very excited.
"Are you all right? You'll have less time to play games."
"It's about two days a day. It's been a long time since I've been on a trip."
That's how the appointment was made, and the time until the final match went a little by little by little.
Then suddenly, it was after Taylor's whisper.
-Hey! Alsia! I found it!
-Hmm? Looking for what?
-......you bastard! Bullojangsaengcho! I've been trying so hard to find it, did you forget it?!
-Oh! Of course it's a joke. There's no way I'd forget that.
Jaeho answered quickly.
-You found it anyway? Were you really there?
-Oh. It's a world where there can be anything in games, but I never thought there would be a real Bulloo Saengcho.
-Okay. Let's meet and talk first. Do you want to come to the Elysia Garden?
-No. The brown bear's in there, so it'll take a minute to get there.
-What?
-Oh.
-......where are you? I'll be there.
a slightly different tone for some reason
-Oh, it's a misunderstanding! I just found out!
-What's wrong with misunderstanding?
-Really! I infiltrated the secret place of the Lassel Kingdom, and all the whispering was blocked! I didn't know until I got out again!
-I got it for now. So where is it?
-... ...Rachel Kingdom. To move right away?
-You should move right away when you have time.
-You're not gonna kill her, are you?
-Report the results.
Jae-ho went straight to the garden because he was out of work before the match.
With Tina.
-Oh, why the crazy guy?!
Taylor shouted with disgust.
"Hehe! Another trip with Alsia! I'm sure there'll be a lot of fun this time, too!!"
Tina, who couldn't hear what Taylor said, just enjoyed it.
-When you're out of town, the elves are bound to stick to you, so I can't help it. Then it's better to take Tina with you.
- When the hell did you get in? You smashed it all.
-Hmmm.
But it wasn't wrong.
Still, it was better to take Tina, who had worked together and figured out her tendencies, but it was more dangerous to take an Elf who had never known her.
There was a big difference between not knowing where to go and not knowing where to go.
* * *
Second visit, the Kingdom of Rasell.
Jae-ho was dressed in elf-style makeup just like when he went to the brown bear country.
'It worked surprisingly well.’
People did not recognize Jae-ho simply because his ears were longer.
It would never have been caught if Jae-ho's wanted papers were not posted everywhere in the brown bear country.
I was wondering what the difference was with the longer ears, but...….
In addition, he had even exposed his blindfold this time in case of a contingency, making it more perfectly disguised.
Entering the kingdom of Rasel, the two headed to a bar in the back alley where Taylor was staying.
Catchy-yay-y-y-y-y-y.
The dark interior of a bar exposed when the old wooden door opened.
And people's attention was focused on Tina's dazzling skin that brightened the place.
"Huh? Huck?! Eh, Elf?"
exclaimed the startled bar owner.
There was a legend in the back alley of the kingdom of Raselle.
The story of the theft that leads the Elves...….
So he was sensitive to the Elf that suddenly appeared.
Something might happen.….
"Hey, master. Calm down, you're my guest."
At that time, Taylor, who appeared at the right time, calmed down the owner.
"Ah...... were you Mr. Taylor's guest? Well, then...….”
a reluctantly accepted master
But his anxious look at Jae-ho and Tina did not disappear.
Cuddle-
Jae-ho bowed lightly to such an owner and followed Taylor to the quiet table in the corner.
"......What's wrong with you again?"
The stately figure seen in front of the master asked Taylor, who disappeared from nowhere.
"Why don't you be a little more normal?! Why are you so scary?"
"It's a disguise. I don't get along very well with the Kingdom of Lassel."
"Whoa.... Anyway, people here are very sensitive about elves. The theft and the blah and blah, blah, blah.
“…….”
In the meantime, another strange nickname seemed to have been added.
"Anyway!"
Taylor got to the point.
"The Bulloo jangsaengcho seems to be in the central tower of the Lassel dynasty."
"Tower? Raised in a tower?"
"It's not the tower you think it is. It's almost as big as a building, and the top floor of it's suspicious. Like a house in your garden, there's a glass structure all of a sudden. Collecting the information I got, it's clear that something's hidden there.”
"Didn't you check the top for sure?”
"I couldn't. I don't know how closely they monitor me, and they doubt me just by looking at the gravel from my shoes. If we leave some signs of intrusion, we'll be several times more vigilant than we are now."
"I mean, it has to be tightened right at the moment of the invasion.”
"Yes, that's why I waited for you. I don't know what you're going to hear if you make an impregnable fortress."
“…….”
I couldn't totally relate to it, but...... but Taylor's judgment was good.
"Okay, then let's get ready and go together."
"Huh? Me, me too?"
a flustered Taylor.
"Then you should go with me. How do you know if it's a trap or not?”
"Can you believe me now? You actually didn't trust me when you brought your Elf...….”
Quang-!!!
At that moment, the door of the bar opened roughly and men of a ferocious impression appeared.
"I heard there are Elves here!! Where are you?!
"Come out!!! You damned bastards!!!”
Jae-ho's eyes glistened as he was looking at the men screaming.
"They're...….”
They were very familiar people.
"Red Balloon."
"Damn it. Why did they suddenly show up?”
Taylor said in a perplexed voice.
Earlier, the owner and other guests did, and I couldn't see why this back alley hated elves so much.
And especially since there's someone who hates elves...….
"Seed!"
Jae-ho welcomed the name of 'Elf Hate'.
