248. Guangdong Province (1)
The dozens of people gathered in front of me caused an earthquake in my pupils.
‘It’s not some kind of leadern rain ritual…!!’
Leadern rain ritual.
A ritual with a 100% probability performed by leaderns to pray for rain when a drought occurs.
How is it 100%?
That’s right, the ritual is held until it rains.
In the process, regardless of whether someone fell or not, if the prayer for rain continued, it was bound to rain.
If you wait, eventually the rain will fall someday.
But in their case, it was even more.
I swallowed hard as I looked at the shining eyes of the women standing in front of me.
‘This is madness…’
Okay. It was madness.
At least rain is sprinkled equally on the world.
In my case?
Honestly, if it wasn’t for Shinga, I might never have come.
Even if China requested to send a party to the Academy, it was better for both parties to send another party rather than us, who were hated by China.
And even if I had work to do, I might not have bothered to use this space movement.
I’m waiting for someone like that who I don’t know when will come, or who might not come at all.
This was not something any sane person could do.
‘······Is this the class of the continent?’
I can’t help but think like that!
Kuuk.
At that time, Shin Se-hee next to me gently tugged on my collar.
“Jin Yu-ha.”
Shin Se-hee whispered in my ear in a low voice.
“Huh?”
“Wouldn’t these people be able to use it?”
“Use…?”
“Ah, these are fans who came because they wanted to see Jin Yu-ha, but the choice of words was a bit excessive. “I will correct it to say that it is not about use, but about getting help.”
She corrected the word, but I still didn’t understand and tilted my head.
“What does that mean?”
“Well, anyway, we came to China, a foreign country. We need to gather information about Shinga here, right? In particular, information about Shinga is strictly controlled when accessed on the Internet.”
“······I guess that’s the case?”
“At times like that, if you can get help from local people, things become much easier. And these are the people who have been waiting like this to meet one person, Jin Yu-ha. There probably won’t be any issues with security.”
“Ah.”
I looked at Shin Se-hee with surprised eyes.
In the game, ordinary people who are not hunters basically appear only as the weak and objects of protection.
That’s why I never even thought about getting their help. It was a change of idea.
“Shin Se-hee, are you a genius?”
“Hehe.”
Shin Se-hee clearly had a different walking method to even think about taking advantage of that madness.
“Well, then what should I do?”
Since Shin Se-hee was the one who spoke up first, I asked her with the idea of trusting her.
Then, Shin Se-hee nodded her head and answered with a confident voice.
“We need to start by making people like people.”
“······A favorable film?”
“Yes, these people have been waiting for such a long time to see Jin Yu-ha, so you should provide proper fan service, right?”
“Damn, fan service!?”
I looked at the women who flocked to me with a puzzled expression at the unexpected words.
Eyes that sparkle excessively, as if expecting something.
Gulp.
‘To these people…?’
* * *
At Shin Se-hee’s suggestion, Jin Yu-ha’s fan meeting began in front of Space Lee Dong-jin.
To be honest, I had never imagined something like this, much less actually done it, so I felt like I was getting goosebumps all over my body.
But, I did the best I could.
“Kyaaah! Really? Is it really okay if I go and take a picture with you? “I was just going to take pictures of Jin Yuha separately…”
“Keuhum, whoa, please request whatever pose you want.”
“Well, anything!?”
“Yes.”
“Huh, well then, please make the other half of the heart here in your hand… “Can you bring your face closer?”
“······Yes, I will do it. “Hey, come here.”
“aaah!!!”
Click─
I put my face close enough for our breath to touch,
I awkwardly pulled up the corners of my mouth and took a picture making a heart with my hands.
“Okay, I’m next! “Could it be possible for you to make a face like Kisun?”
“······I don’t know what Kisuni is, but I’ll try my best.”
Click─
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! “You’re really, really handsome!”
Another person left.
‘How many people are left now… ‘
“Then now next… Huh?”
I couldn’t help but widen my eyes as I looked at the woman who came next.
‘Why are you out there?’
That’s right, because Shin Se-hee was standing in line with a gloomy expression.
I glanced behind her and saw other party members standing in line among the people.
“Shin Se-hee?”
“Yes, why are you doing that?”
Let me sing in a curious voice. Shin Se-hee shamelessly answered with her innocent face.
“Why are you…”
“Since we are doing it anyway, please do it for us too. You’re a professional, right? “Were you a person who discriminated against fans who came to visit you?”
“No, that’s not it…”
“Or are you saying that Jin Yuha doesn’t want to take pictures with us? “We’ve been together for so many years, but we’ve never taken a picture together.”
“Oh, no. “Come here.”
When you said that much, I had nothing to say.
OK. Shin Se-hee stood next to me slightly away.
A refreshing shampoo scent.
He must have been so embarrassed that the crown of his head below her turned bright red.
‘She said she felt awkward, so why did she do that?’
I burst out laughing.
“Why are you standing so far away?”
“······Yes?”
“Other people followed closely and took pictures. Why are you so far away? Are you sure you don’t want to take pictures with me? “How many years have we been together?”
I smiled mischievously and returned exactly what Shin Se-hee said.
“No, that’s not it—.”
“Now, come here. “Are you asking for proper fan service?”
Suddenly.
I pulled Shin Se-hee’s shoulder towards me and raised my cell phone camera high.
“Okay, I’ll take a picture. Kimchi─”
“Ki, kimchi.”
Shin Se-hee, who was in my arms, closed her eyes tightly and drew a V-shaped face with a face as red as a tomato.
Click─
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
Then, it seemed like the other party members looked at me a little colder, but whatever.
Just take pictures of everything.
“······I’ll do it for you too if you wait your turn!”
.
.
.
“I don’t like kimchi. “It’s spicy.”
“Huh? “Yeah?”
Ichika, with an expressionless face, clung to her almost tightly and made a V-shape with both hands.
“Rakgyo.”
Click─
It took quite a while to do the poses requested by each person and receive their greetings.
‘But now it’s the last time.’
“Okay, the next person comes.”
I greeted the fan with a much more skillful attitude than the first time.
The person who approached tremblingly was a young girl with a dumpling head.
She was a girl with a shabby appearance but a cute face.
‘Hmm?’
When I saw her, I felt a sudden sense of déjà vu and tilted her head to the side.
‘Where do you think I’ve seen this guy?’
Where did you see him?
The car that I was thinking about for a moment while looking at her.
Suddenly.
The girl immediately grabbed my hand.
“Ji, Jin Yuha oppa!”
“Yes? Okay, I’ll take a picture for you here—”
“Please! “Please come to my house with me!”
“······Yes?”
I opened my mouth with an absurd expression on my face at the sudden request for a home visit.
* * *
After the fan service ended like this.
Shin Se-hee said she needed to talk about something specific, so she took her fans and sat down separately.
Party members also followed Shin Se-hee.
And, I was left alone with the dumpling-headed kid who had requested a home visit a little while ago.
‘Where did I see him before…’
I had a feeling of déjà vu, like I’d seen it somewhere, but I couldn’t figure it out
At that time, the girl who was staring at me spoke first.
“Jin Yuha oppa! Please come to my house with me!”
A girl who repeats what she said earlier like a parrot.
“Well, when you say it like that, I feel a little embarrassed. Because it was so sudden. Would you like to calm down first?”
I tried to calm her down, but the girl didn’t seem to have any intention of calming down.
“My father is in danger! Please, please save my father…!”
The girl asked for help in a desperate voice.
And that moment.
The light of enlightenment appeared in my eyes.
‘Father? Oh, really…? Hey, is he there? The daughter of a local landowner in Guangdong Province?’
Currently, China is claiming to be one country.
In fact, many people believed that it was divided into several countries.
The power of the landowners representing each region has become too strong for central control.
The reason was simple.
Because the land area was too large to centrally handle all the gates that were created throughout China.
There was no choice but to give local landowners the authority to autonomously dispose of gates!
Among them, Guangdong Province.
It is a place where the power of the landowner is almost as strong as that of an emperor.
It was also the area where the shrine is currently located.
In other words, the goal we are heading towards.
‘But how did he get here…?’
I made a puzzled expression.
Surely, you weren’t missing in the game?
“Can you tell me the story in more detail?”
I asked the dumpling-headed girl.
She opened her mouth with a trembling voice.
“Yes yes! That, that…”
