Chapter 1590 – [Coming Out]

After the official announcement, Eden, who entered the university for the first time, expressed interest in the changed smell.

Of course, nothing much has changed about her, but the reactions of people towards her have changed. And the smell coming from there was also completely different from what she felt.

At least the air was not much different from when it was revealed that he was acquainted with Keter, but now it smells completely different and unique. This is because it was known that she herself was a Wakamo shrine maiden and that her father was an evil emperor.

Her students couldn’t have been the same when her school responded to her worst, to the point where her president ran out in a huff as he walked her to school. After talking to her at her worst and seeing him leave her place before her to go to the store, her president looks disappointed and later turns his attention to her.

“Ah, Eden student. By any chance, the story I told you before…”

“I will think about inviting students from our school to the Garden of Eden later. Right now, we do it through a lottery, but if some of them are students from our school, people will question the fairness of it.”

“I guess so. Then, if I get a chance next time, I’ll ask you then.”

“Yes, I will.”

She was a friend of Keter and even secretly lobbied the university to invite outsiders to the Garden of Eden in her room. However, what is different from before is that there was no implicit pressure.

Her previous position was that she was just an incredibly pretty and famous model, and she was just Keter’s friend. Even though she was famous as a model, her debut period wasn’t very long, and even though she was Keter’s friend, she couldn’t be everything. If that were the case, all of her famous friends would have been working as escorts.

But she added her own social position to it. Her social influence is high, and especially in Japan, she is a Wakamo shrine maiden who boasts an absolute reputation and at the same time receives favorable reviews as well as her reputation by running her charity foundation.

As if it were not for nothing that there was an uproar over the issue before she came out, her existence as a Wakamo shrine maiden was more famous and prestigious than anyone could imagine. If such a person is a student, of course she cannot help but say something.

“President, can I just leave? I have a lecture.”

“Oh, of course. I’m sorry for holding on to a busy student. Furthermore, I’ll see you later when I have time.”

“Yes, thank you, President. See you next time.”

If she did something wrong she might have been caught and had to listen to some inane talk for a while. Eden thought that it would be much better to just listen to a lecture than to talk about something like that, so he quietly withdrew his footing from her. Moreover, she did not have any good feelings due to her complacent response and response during MT, so she had no intention of talking about it.

Afterward, as she moved to her classroom, she was met with a crowd of people and many people looking at her. She causes a stir as people who are not in the same department as her secretly follow her.

People who only knew her face would only follow or look at her, but even if she was only familiar with her seniors in the same department, she would sneakily talk to them as if she was a close friend.

“Over there…”

“Oh, senior, why?”

“I saw the news. Eden said you were a Wakamo shrine maiden?”

“I think it’s time to reveal it. To be honest, there were people who made a lot of noise while I was in the room, so I had to do it, so I took this opportunity to reveal it.”

“Then the person who came to greet me at the entrance ceremony before…”

“It’s my dad, and he’s an evil deity.”

“Then the kids who said something to your father back then were dangerous?”

“Hey, even my dad wouldn’t be that rough.”

“Uh… Then what if I do it a bit harshly?”

“No comment on that.”

There are many people who break out in a cold sweat. Her looks and body were outstanding enough to make her a model, and since she was a college student and was in her youth, the number of men who paid attention to Eden was not quite high, but it could be said that most of them were.

Although it may be possible to use normal methods, there were some who thought of a more insidious method of trying to manipulate people by making them drunk. Although she couldn’t put it into practice because she couldn’t cover the cost of a meal with Eden.

First, it was a plan that had little chance of success, but if it had succeeded, their treatment would have been obvious. Even if you try and fail, your very existence will be erased from the world just by the attempt.

“Um, Eden. If it’s okay, would you please sign my autograph? My younger brother is your fan…”

“Oh, how old is your younger brother?”

“I’m in middle school now. Is there a big age difference?”

“Even if we’re not the same age, there’s a big difference. Wait a minute, where were the paper and pen?”

“Ah!!! Me too!!!”

“Eden, please sign my autograph too!!!!”

An autograph session is suddenly held in the classroom due to people wanting autographs. There were quite a few people, but there was some time before the lecture started, so Eden signed autographs for each of them.

However, it was impossible to get everyone to sign before the lecture started. Soon it was time for the lecture to begin, and the professor entered the classroom and roughly guessed the situation after seeing the commotion and Eden at the center of it.

“Um… You can start class a little late, so take your time.”

“No, Professor. I’ll finish right away.”

Even though Eden revealed her identity, she had no intention of profiting from it or doing so. In a way, that kind of mindset is similar to the worst, so she was like the worst.

Soon after, the class started, and the professor led the class. However, the difference from before is that Eden notices it.

I paid attention to whether the class progressed quickly and whether the explanations were easy to understand, so the progress I made in today’s lecture was less than half of the usual amount.

The thief said, “The professor didn’t do anything to be caught, let alone the thief, but he couldn’t teach properly because he was thinking about the Wakamo shrine maiden right in front of him and the evil spirit behind him.” And by the end of the lecture, the professor seemed more tired because he was nervous.

“… That’s all for today’s lecture. It’s almost lunchtime, so everyone enjoys your lunch.”

Eden, who thought that other professors’ lectures would probably be similar, wondered what he should do. If you leave it as is, you won’t be able to teach properly and everyone will get tired.

Eden decided to eat lunch first and then move on with his classmates.

“Eden, what are you going to do for lunch?”

“If I eat school, the restaurant will be full and noisy, so I have to eat and come back.”

If you go to the restaurant, it will definitely be crowded with people coming to see Eden, and you won’t know whether the food is going into your mouth or nose due to the noise of people talking or talking while you are eating.

Of course, Eden likes to chat and eat together with a group of people, but I don’t think it would be good if the number of people were around 100. So, it is better to eat relatively quietly at another restaurant.

Afterward, she decided to have lunch at a restaurant near the university where bulgogi is the main menu. Although she had been there several times before, she went there for the first time after coming out as a shrine shaman. The owner of the restaurant made a fuss about her. Welcome

“Oh my, my!!! Who is this, isn’t it a shrine maiden?”

“Oh, hello boss. Are there any seats available?”

“Oh my, the shaman said she was going to eat at our restaurant, so I had to make it for her even if there were no seats. But when I saw on the news, my father runs a restaurant and the shaman wants to run a restaurant in the future? She doesn’t seem like anyone else.”

“What? Oh, please eat about 30 servings as usual.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you good service. Oh, but before you go, just take an autograph and a photo… I thought it would be good to promote the store.”

“I’ll do it for you, so don’t worry.”

“The shaman is a big girl. She eats a lot, studies hard, and does a lot of good things. I heard that my in-laws over there received treatment at the Jeongsoo Foundation and got better from dementia, but I didn’t even recognize her in front of my benefactor.”

“Boss, please let me know if you get sick later. Honestly, running a restaurant business isn’t easy.”

“Really? Then my back isn’t what it used to be these days…”

Eden made her own purified water and poured it into her cup. Knowing the story of the water purification foundation, the president took a shot of the water without any doubts and soon stretched out, feeling his back and joints feeling better.

“This is so effective!!!! Now I understand why people use water purification foundation!”

“It makes me happy to see the boss smiling. Oh, boss, here’s some rice!!!!”

When Eden ate at her restaurant, as expected, people flocked. Fortunately, her store wasn’t that big, so most people were watching her from outside, but they each took out their cell phones and started taking pictures of her while she was eating.

There may be a model rights issue or something like that, but you can’t pay attention to dozens of people taking pictures. Even if there was a bad person behind Eden, she thought it would be okay to take a picture, but the right of portrait was meaningless in the first place.

If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it. With that mindset, Eden smiled lightly at the people taking her pictures. She didn’t adjust the lighting or angle, but that alone makes the photo look like a pictorial.

However, I had to finish the meal quickly because I felt like more people would come in if I continued. Eden, who took the promised autograph and proof shot, finished with her payment, bought coffee at a nearby café, and returned to school.

“Ugh, I’m tired. I guess people’s attention isn’t all that great.”

“I knew so.”

“Huh? Dahee, how did you get here? I didn’t say anything about being here.”

“When I look at you, my location is tracked in real time on Instagram. I came after seeing that.”

“Stalker!!!!”

“I didn’t track you!!!!”

Although Eden reacted lightly, it wasn’t a very good story. Eden, known as the Wakamo Shrine, now attracts everyone’s attention wherever she goes, and it’s like she has no secrets about where she is or what she does.

This happens because you are not just a celebrity, but a global celebrity. It will be the same even if you go abroad.

“Are you going to be okay? The reaction is so big that I’m probably worried.”

“I accepted that and came out. As time goes by, interest will fade, so I have to endure it even though it’s a bit difficult for now. That’s it, that’s it. This too shall pass!!!!”

“Yes, it’s you.”

“Anyway, do you want to drink coffee? I didn’t say anything about this.”

Eden, who had a brief chat with Dahee, received a notice in the department’s group chat room near the end of lunch hour that classes for her major subjects would be canceled today. It was the next class, and since it was the only class this afternoon, Eden cheered.

“Ahh!!!! Class is canceled!!!!! Damn!!!!!”

“What, suddenly?”

“I guess the professor has some business to attend to. Ah… Wait a minute.”

And as if I had been waiting, I get a call from Eden. She was someone else, but she was the head of the Department of Food and Nutrition where she was enrolled.

“You can barely see it.”

“Did you intentionally cancel class to make an appointment with you?”

“I guess it’s because they’re afraid I’ll have to cancel class. Still, it’s a shame if classes are canceled when I don’t need to talk about it for a long time.”

Eden received a call from her department chair. Since she already knew in the morning that she was a Wakamo shrine maiden, as did the president, it was natural for the professor and others to try to talk to her, and she had expected it.

If she were someone else, even if she was the president of a university, she wouldn’t have been able to give him any disadvantages anyway, so she might have declined appropriately, but if she was the head of the department she was attending, the story was a little different. It’s because Eden is the department she chose.

-Ah, Eden student. My name is Taejun Hong, the department head. There’s something I’d like to talk about briefly. Do you have a moment?

“Yes, the next class has just been cancelled, so I’m on time. Can I go to the department chair’s office?”

-Yes, we have prepared some light refreshments, so please come anytime. I’ll be waiting.

Eden, who had made an appointment to meet with her department chair, said goodbye to Dahee and headed to her department chair’s office. She wondered if there was anyone else present, but she found only one person in the department chair’s office.

Considering that he didn’t talk or invite anyone else, it was a pretty good move. It’s a nuisance for the meeting’s perspective to have someone who didn’t make an appointment intervene.

“Department Head, this is Eden Choi.”

“Oh, come in.”

As you enter the department chair’s office, the smell of coffee wafts through you. It’s not instant coffee, but it seems to be coffee made by grinding the beans separately and brewing them with a machine, but the smell of the coffee beans is fragrant.

“I made an appointment with an Eden student because I wanted to talk to him for a moment, but I don’t know if I made him uncomfortable for no reason.”

“No. I just happened to have free time, so it’s okay.”

Although Eden clearly knew that the class being canceled was related to the current interview, Eden pretended not to know. At least the other person hasn’t crossed the line yet because you’re deliberately trying to scratch them.

Soon, the department head personally serves coffee. And they also brought us a piece of cake to eat together.

It was a cake that took so much effort that it made you wonder if it had been purchased from a cake specialty store rather than simply purchased from a nearby café. Moreover, I could see that the cake packaging box next to me was not just one or two items purchased.

“I like food, so I bought one of each type from a store I know. You can eat as much as you want, so don’t hesitate.”

“Ah!!! Thank you!!!!”

First, the score for the department chair increased from zero to plus. And I thought that if you paid that much attention, it would be a very useful conversation.

Delicious cakes and properly brewed coffee using good coffee beans. Eden has already had coffee, but he can’t stand those two things.

“How was school today? I’m sure there was a commotion because of what happened yesterday.”

“It’s hard to get around, and even if I pretend not to be a professor, they see what I think. Is it because I have a social position even though I’m just a student at school?”

“Humans are social animals, and a person’s value changes depending on their social position. And this is especially true because the social position of Eden students is probably the highest in the world.”

“I don’t plan on using that position at school… But that part is a bit inconvenient. Can’t you just tell the professors later that they can take classes comfortably as before?”

“Of course. Don’t worry about that.”

Her opponent may be a regular student, but given her social status as a Wakamo shrine maiden, even her department chair could not treat her lightly. Rather, she treats him more cautiously than she did face-to-face with the president of Seoul National University.

He had his own reasons for creating this position. This is not a position created simply for personal gain or personal connections, but an issue related to the department where he is the head of the department.

“First of all, the reason I created this place is that I wanted to talk about a few things about the Eden students and the Garden of Eden.”

“The Garden of Eden? We can talk about that with Kether.”

“I have already applied separately, but compared to the name of the Garden of Eden, even at Seoul National University, non-mainstream departments are lower in priority. In such a situation, I cannot tell you how fortunate I am that an Eden student who claims to have half of the shares in the Garden of Eden has appeared.”

“Application? Did you apply to do research or something like that?”

“That’s right. We are in the Department of Food and Nutrition, and the ingredients from the Garden of Eden contain at least several times more nutrients than ordinary ones, and have beneficial effects such as boosting immunity and preventing aging. There are many other things as well. In order to study them, Cooperation is needed.”

“Oh.”

It wasn’t a bad reason, but rather a good reason. If successful, it will be possible to improve not only medical problems but also health problems caused by diet.

Eden also becomes interested in him. You may already be conducting research elsewhere, but wouldn’t it be better to conduct it at your alma mater? School ties and Jiyeon are meant to be used in times like these.

“I understand the department chair’s opinion. I will talk to Keter first, but I will bring a positive result.”

“Haha, thank you, Eden student. Oh, would you like some more cake? I bought it from a store run by an acquaintance. It’s homemade, so it’s delicious, right?”

“Your friend has good skills, right? Please tell me which store it is later.”

Although it has only been a day since his identity was revealed, there were a lot of people flocking to him because of his fame or because of what Eden had.

But that has only just begun.
