Chapter 1585 – [Coming Out]
Our store opened, and it was around the time when Eden was busy going to and from school near the university.
At the same time, the situation on this side had to be revealed. On the other hand, Eden’s problem arose not simply from the broadcasting side, but from being pressured by the school for being a bitch.
“Because I have connections with Keter, I met with the dean separately and talked about it, and he asked me how to select a few fellow Seoul National University students if I was going to invite people to the Garden of Eden.”
“What do you say you did for me in college?”
“That’s right. When I was almost raped during MT, I tried to keep it quiet in the first place for fear of ruining the school’s image.”
“Is that so? Shall I destroy it?”
“Uh-huh, if Dad sees that, he’ll definitely tear down the entire Seoul National University, but it’s not that bad yet.”
“Speak, if necessary.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you later if I need help.”
Anyway, it’s time to reveal it. A little differently than expected, it will be revealed in a serious setting rather than a casual one, but this wasn’t a bad thing.
First, in order to reveal our identities, we will create a separate official event through the Cheonmu Association. And since there was a separate number of cases to create that position, the reason or justification was sufficient.
Even now, because of Eden, there are many surplus people who file numerous complaints with the Cheonmu Association. For now, we are holding out by saying that we are fact-checking with a macro response and that there is a separate internal discussion going on, but the time has come to deal with it.
“It has finally come.”
“It will be noisy around the house for a while.”
“The soundproofing is solid, so there’s no problem.”
“That’s true, but it seems difficult to go out.”
“I think Eden and I are the only ones who go out often from our house anyway…”
“When I go out, I don’t go out because it’s bothersome to be stared at because of my appearance. Besides, these days, some people might recognize me because of Eden and the lintel.”
“Well.”
It’s exactly the same as Eden and Zion, so it would be strange not to recognize it.
Moreover, the kids in our family are gorgeous. There are famous people and there are people who attract people’s attention just because they are pretty, and when you go out, people worry about you, which is actually stressful.
… I guess I will do the same now. Because I had an ordinary appearance, I didn’t have to worry about people’s opinions, but if it was known that I was a disfigured person, the reaction would be different.
“We will make room sometime next week. Everyone, get ready.”
[Just in case, I should sprinkle corpse mushroom spores around the house.]
“I want to tell you not to do it, but it seems surprisingly necessary, so I can’t stop you.”
[I’m going to spray it to dispose of people climbing over the fence, but I’m sure I’ll use it at least once or twice.]
Humans are capable of doing more foolish things than we can imagine. No matter what the purpose is, there are definitely people who will try to climb over the wall of a celebrity’s house.
Moreover, aren’t the evil emperor and Wakamo shaman living together in our house? If you come in and take just one picture, you can sell it for millions of won, so one or two idiots will definitely do something stupid like that. Of course, if you do that, you’ll be screwed.
Don’t think that I will restrain myself just because I reveal my identity. On the contrary, since it is revealed openly, the rude person will definitely be criticized.
“Eden, how about broadcasting?”
“They said they would make an official announcement soon. I’m looking forward to the day when all the haters will shut up.”
Time goes by quickly. The week went by quickly while I was busy running the newly opened store and Eden was busy with the new semester and everything.
And then the fateful hour arrived. Eden and I took out the raccoon and fox masks, wondering if we would ever use them after today.
“If I take it off today, will I ever use this again?”
“I don’t know. Are you only going to use it for Halloween?”
“Didn’t you also use it in the previous episode and ended up using it this time? Perhaps the day will come when you will use it again in the future.”
“That’s right. Anyway, I’ll come back.”
“But are you going with Keter? There’s nothing you can do by revealing your identity in the first place, right?”
[People’s reactions are intuitive.]
“Oh, I understand roughly.”
The three people going to the press conference are me, Eden, and Keter. Keter just went to see the sights, and the rest of the team decided to just watch the news at home.
But if my identity is revealed, what will happen to my family’s outdoor activities… They say they don’t go out often, but there are times when they do, and I wonder what to do. Will I feel more free because I don’t have to worry about what other people think, or will I just not go out because it’s more annoying? Hmm, I don’t know.
Anyway, we headed to the Cheonmu Association. I take my time in the limousine, but I probably won’t be this relaxed when I get back.
Not long after, we arrived at the Cheonmu Association. It was already crowded there with reporters and other people, and when they saw us getting out of the limousine, they shouted in our direction.
“It’s the evil emperor and Wakamo shaman!!!!”
“There is also Keter!!!!”
“They say there is an important announcement today. What kind of announcement is it!!!!”
“Please just say one thing!!!!”
“What do you think about this certain streamer’s cheeky remarks, shaman!!!!”
Maybe it’s because he’s a reporter who makes a living by getting people’s attention, but he’s just very enthusiastic. When I thought about what would be announced today, those people were on top of me.
I’ll reveal it later, so there’s no need to divulge anything here. So we ignored the people and went inside the Cheonmu Association.
There is a press conference room set up here, and because today’s issue is an issue, so many people have gathered that the conference room is crowded. Moreover, not only reporters, but also many high-ranking people who are often seen on TV.
There are people from the political world as well as the business world, and looking at all the people gathered, it is not just that the president did not come, but it seems like it is an important matter for the country. And while some people knew to some extent what was going to happen today, there were also some who did not.
“Honestly, I wanted to make the announcement in a more private setting rather than in a formal setting like this.”
“Who once said that life doesn’t go as planned?”
“That’s mom!!!!”
“Anyway, time is running out, so let’s take a seat.”
[I’m in the VIP section, so see you later.]
Keter is also a very famous person, but today the main characters are me and Eden. He went to the guest seat, and we waited for a while at the back of the podium to go up to the podium separately.
Since I have a script, I read it. Since questions will definitely come up, answers to those expected questions… Well, I’ll probably answer well anyway.
However, if I have any concerns, I’m not talking to the reporters separately, so they might ask difficult questions, but I’m sure they’ll handle that well. Unless you want to be the first reporter to be embarrassed by your face.
“Eden, don’t you need to read the script?”
“I’m going to do Iron Man anyway, do I need it?”
“It would be different to reveal your identity from the beginning and to hit someone while reading the script.”
“I’m going to college tomorrow too, so I’m going to have a hard time.”
“If you go to class, it looks like the president of Seoul National University or the chairman of the board will come running out in socks.”
After chatting for a bit and spending some time, it was time to get started. So we leave the script we were reading and go up to the podium.
Even though it has only just begun, the sound of reporters setting off their camera flashes is loud. From now on, we will have to explode the flash even more violently, but what are we going to do if we do that already?
Anyway, Eden stood in front of the microphone prepared on the podium and I waited behind him. As Eden begins to speak, her babbling subsides and her people listen to her.
“Thank you for gathering like this today. Some of you may know us here, but there are many more who don’t know why we’re here, so we’ve created this place today to tell you something important.”
Eden first politely and politely explained things to the people in the conference room. If you look closely, you can tell who knows this story by their reactions.
“It’s been a long time since I started working as a Wakamo shrine maiden. I think I was able to be in this position thanks to the people who have looked upon me favorably. And… I thought it would be difficult to continue working like this. .”
“Are you really retiring?!”
“No, not that.”
A surprised reporter shouted, as it had some nuances reminiscent of retirement. Well, Eden has a lot of social influence and such, but if she retires, it will be a social problem.
Moreover, Wakamo Shrine’s retirement could be considered an important announcement, so it was not strange for someone who did not know to make such an assumption.
Eventually, Eden started to reveal her identity in earnest.
“I just thought that as people’s interest increased, it would be difficult to hide my identity and be active. And it was planned that way from a long time ago.”
“S-No way…!!!!”
“Then, I will introduce myself to you all as an individual, not as Wakamo Shrine Maiden.”
Slam!!
Eden touched her mask and unequipped her. As her mask comes off, Eden’s appearance is revealed.
She has a look that everyone who already knows. She debuted as a model and even worked as a maid. Her beautiful appearance, which is so beautiful that even those who have never seen her before, have seen her only once, was revealed to the world not as Choi Eden, but as a Wakamo shaman.
And when she took off her mask, Eden shouted at people in her usual playful tone instead of her polite tone.
“Ta-da~!!!! The shocking truth is finally revealed!!!!”
“?!?!?!”
“Huh?! Huh?!?!?”
No, why did you say that line?!
… Well, once Eden revealed his identity, everyone was shocked. Those who had already guessed through the rumors or those who thought it was not the case were all surprised at the identity of the Wakamo shaman, although there may be differences.
Eden smiled and introduced himself to those people.
“I will introduce myself again here and now. My name is Eden Choi, I am a Wakamo shaman and a model and streamer. Please take care of me.”
“Wakamo Mu… No, Miss Choi Eden!!!!”
“Is it true?! Wakamo Shrine’s true identity was a celebrity?!”
“No, hell!!!!”
Click click!!!!
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the reporters took harsh pictures first. It’s almost blinding because of the flashes that explode here and there.
Eden waited until their emotions calmed down a bit. The reaction of excited people was quite strong, so we had to wait longer than expected for the commotion to subside.
“And there is someone else whose identity I will reveal today.”
“No way, it’s a bad thing!!!!”
“Yes, it’s enough to call it a big announcement, right?”
Reporters were filled with excitement as not one, but two scoops broke at the same time. The excitement that had calmed down over time boils over again and begins to overflow.
Soon, I touched the baton with Eden and came up to the podium. Similarly, reporters continue to use flash cameras as if they are trying to take a picture before taking off the mask.
“Hello, this is Emperor Hung. As Eden said, I will also take this opportunity to take off my mask.”
“Is there a reason why you two reveal your identities like this today?”
“I was going to ask questions after I took off my mask first… Well, to answer that question, I’ll just say that it was planned a long time ago.”
I also had no intention of hiding my identity for the rest of my life, and I just did it to coincide with Eden’s coming out. In the end, that day would come someday.
Anyway, I touched the mask. With just one button press, the mask will come off, and your face will be revealed to the world.
Oh, but before I take it off, there’s one thing.
“But I’ll tell you in advance, I’m not a well-known celebrity, and I’m not as good-looking as you think. So don’t expect too much.”
At least after it was loaded, it went from minus to zero. I don’t have a handsome face. For those who thought I was an extremely handsome man, it was time to shatter that illusion.
I immediately took off my mask. Slam!!! And the mask comes off and is immediately shown in front of people.
People who met my face showed various reactions. People who are surprised because it is more gentle and ordinary than expected, people who express doubts because it is an unfamiliar face unlike Eden, and people who are very excited because they found out the identity of the evil emperor. There are many reactions.
“That person is an evil emperor?”
“It looks more ordinary than I thought. I think I’ll run into it once or twice while walking down the street.”
“I can’t believe the world’s strongest superpower looked like that…”
It feels somewhat cool and refreshing. It wasn’t just because I took off my mask, I felt like I felt that way because I no longer had to hide it.
There will be many hardships in the future because of my identity being revealed, but even so, I feel relieved right now. So let’s worry about future problems later and enjoy the present.
“Let me introduce myself. I am said to be the evil emperor and Eden’s biological father.”
“Huh?!”
“Yes?! What did you say just now? Your real father?”
“Does that mean that the Wakamo shrine maiden and the evil emperor were actually father and daughter?!”
“Now that I hear it, the voice sounds familiar!!! It’s the same as her father’s voice from Eden Choi’s broadcast!!!”
“Then, the scandal between the evil emperor and the Wakamo priestess…”
If you didn’t know if the scandal comes out, the entire media company will be destroyed. Eden also hates her close relative, so why would she hate me? Even though I am her granddaughter, she didn’t keep her distance from the dashing line.
Now, I know their identity and their relationship, but if they forcefully push an incestuous meme, it means they are willing to be beaten, so they should be beaten.
“Then, now that I’ve revealed my identity, I’ll take questions in earnest. Does anyone have any questions?”
Soon, a barrage of passionate questions from numerous reporters poured in.
It would be a lot of work to deal with them one by one.
