[So next is…, are you listening?]
"…Yeah. Listening, damn it."
[What, why the reaction? Are you cra■y?]
Crazy she says….
Right. That might be the case.
If one has been listening to stories about Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk getting entangled without rest since meeting this guy.
If it hadn't been interrupted midway, she probably would have kept babbling until sunset.
[Fu■k, are you really listening? Doesn't seem like it.]
"Whether I'm listening or not. By the way, is that allowed?"
[What.]
"RPS (Real Person Slash). Do you get permission from Kim Dokja or Yoo Joonghyuk…, those guys to write it? From what I hear, it seems you intend to write and publish it too."
[….]
For the first time, emotions of embarrassment and shame dwell on the guy's face, which always seemed somewhat displeased.
Her ears turn slightly red, and her mouth is open stammering, truly frustrating for the viewer.
…But, somehow, this reaction of the guy being so flustered is like….
"…You bastard. Did you really write it?"
[Sh, shut ■p! Haven't sold it yet! Just keeping it for personal collection!]
"…Crazy btch."
[W, won't you shut ■p!? Is that a crime?! And well…, isn't it possible!]
"At least it seems to be a crime in your Nebula."
[…As long as I don't get caught, it's not a crime.]
"…Seeing an angel say such things, I think I know how the Nebula is running without even looking."
I don't know well what kind of state the Nebula this guy belongs to is in, but right now, I was sure of this one thing.
If a guy with such crazy thoughts is active openly, at least it's not normal.
Especially that guy who looks like the head of this guy's Nebula, called Scribe or something.
[…You, if you tell Dokja or Joonghyuk, you'll really die by my hand.]
"Curious how that would turn out though."
[■■■■■■■■■■!]
The guy blushing and babbling something to me with a murderous expression.
I wonder what words caused filtering from one to ten, but decided not to ask. The meaning was roughly conveyed anyway.
"By the way, if you care so much about their reactions, you shouldn't have created it in the first place. Just keeping it in your head would have been enough."
[Do you know the heart of a creator? If you don't record inspiration when it comes to mind right away, you forget it.]
"Is that so important."
[Important! Even a trivial thing!]
"Even so, in that bizarre writing you wrote, they must be characters far from the existing Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk you like so much."
[S, still….]
Turning redder and redder, eventually the guy covers her face with two wings.
…Ha. Absurd.
"By the way, what on earth is good about those two."
[…What did you say, you?]
"A scammer, and a rude guy, what on earth is good enough to go that far…."
-Whooosh….
At that moment, the air in this area sinks coldly.
Simultaneously, a chilling feeling spreading down my spine and an instinct that something is terribly wrong.
However, faster than my judgment to draw up Cursed Energy and prepare for the situation.
-Grab.
The guy grabbing my two shoulders and glaring was faster.
[Don't know. The charm of Dokja and Joonghyuk…?]
"…You bastard."
[If you don't know, I'll tell you.]
The guy's brilliant emerald eyes shine eerily.
…Fck. This somehow feels like she's going to tell a story even shttier than the story just now—
[The time goes back to the beginning, starting from the subway….]
"This, son of a btch."
After walking for quite a long time with the guy's chattering voice as background, a huge fortress began to be seen slowly.
Probably that is the place where the Banquet of Constellations begins.
As if proving it, a Dokkaebi wearing a neat uniform was muttering something while looking at blue windows presumed to be lists.
[There, Joonghyuk, bleeding profusely after being hit by that snake bastard, breathed roughly and said with an urgent voice that it's hard without Dokja. But Dokja, as always, sent a confident gentle smile to Joonghyuk saying he would handle it from now on so rest. This is really….]
"Came to participate, in the Banquet. As a partner of this guy next to me."
"Ah, Incarnation Kang Yuhyeon? Confirmed. Then have a good time with the Constellation-nim."
[Then…, hey! Where are you going, fu■k!]
Thinking I could finally escape from that guy's one-sided nonsense, I quicken my steps and open the heavy door.
And, the scenes beginning to enter my vision at the end of the slowly opening door were….
-Gogogogo…!!
Truly, a shock felt anew.
[Incarnation?]
[Next to him is…, an Angel of Eden?]
Demonic Judge of Fire.
I thought I could endure one voice of a Constellation like this. Since I've been listening to strange stories continuously without rest until now, I felt like I adapted somewhat.
But, that was like my firm delusion.
The gazes of countless Constellations gathered in the hall, voices directed at me, and interests began to gather gradually, and soon approached as a huge shock, making my body tense.
These are the Constellations I ignored so much. And, the faces of guys I have to overcome and kill.
They scanned me with eyes as if looking at a fascinating monkey, but in that short time, I raise my head stiffly and walk confidently to remember all the faces from those sending profound gazes to those sending blatant gazes.
-Thud, thud.
Was I moving one step, another step like that?
"Incarnation, Kang Yuhyeon. Long time no see?"
"…You are."
A guy with a quite familiar face approached me and spoke.
"Remember me?"
"First time since the fifth scenario."
"Ho-oh? Really remember? Thought you would have forgotten."
If he was just a fluff-filled Dokkaebi in the past, the guy in front of me now was wearing a quite stylish dobok instead of the shabby clothes he used to wear, as if he became a celebrity.
Not seen since the sixth scenario, did his channel grow and his grade go up?
"For now, follow me. I'll guide you to the Incarnation Waiting Room."
"Okay."
With those words, I follow the guy's steps.
And looking back slightly….
-Wave wave.
…For some reason, looking at the guy waving her hand slightly with a quite sullen face once, I ignore her and look forward again.
"By the way, Dokkaebi. Are me and Yoo Joonghyuk the only Incarnations invited here?"
"No way. Besides Seoul Dome, there are many famous Incarnations in other Domes too. Well…, among them, you guys are the craziest though."
"Other Domes?"
"Washington, Moscow, New Delhi…. About these three?"
"…Washington, Moscow, New Delhi…. Perhaps, among the Incarnations participating this time, are Anna Croft, Selena Kim, Iris Vladimirovna Rebezova, and Fei Hu included?"
"Except Fei Hu, all three. By the way…, how do you know them? Did you have means to contact other Domes?"
"There is such a thing."
I see.
Does it mean those guys Persephone mentioned are also skilled Incarnations enough for Constellations to covet and attend the Banquet….
Here, the ones I'm interested in are Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk, Jung Heewon, and Nirvana…. If they are Incarnations of other Domes…, I'm becoming quite curious.
"Anyway…, be careful. Don't get caught by Constellations doing strange things and get in big trouble. Ah, and there will be an Intermediate Dokkaebi Inauguration Ceremony later, make sure to watch that too."
"…I don't think you and I are close enough to share such words."
"You are also a guy who helped make my channel famous. Though not as much as Kim Dokja."
"…Right."
With those words, the conversation between me and the guy is cut off.
Silence flows for a moment, and after continuing to walk down the hallway whose end is unknown, me and the guy stand in front of a room.
"It's your freedom to talk with the Incarnations in here. Then, I'm going~."
"Yeah."
Suddenly, the Intermediate Dokkaebi Inauguration Ceremony that passed by in the guy's conversation…, maybe there's still something left to prepare for that, the guy heads somewhere busily.
Watching the spot where the guy disappeared for a moment, I take my hand off the doorknob and start moving my steps to another place.
The guy told me not to do anything useless and stay in this waiting room, but I have no intention or reason to listen to that obediently.
-Thud, thud….
In the dark hallway, only one footstep sound is heard.
The surroundings are hung with quite antique decorations and paintings, feeling like a medieval palace.
While appreciating them, moving one step, another step.
-Click.
One more footstep sound echoed in the hallway.
-Click. Click.
The incoming footstep sound gets closer.
As if suspecting that the destination set by the owner of that sound from the beginning is where I am.
Did I stare at the hallway covered in pitch-black darkness for a while like that?
"Long time no see. No, it would be the first time now."
"Who are you."
"Well. Someone who might know you. Or might not."
"…."
The guy walks. Slowly, gently. But surely.
The faint smile on the guy's face is ominous because I can't know what she's thinking, and the left eye shining with a golden eye makes me wary because I can't know what it contains, but on the other hand, an unknown attraction arises.
And above all, the most important point was….
"Let me introduce myself formally. Nice to meet you. Kang Yuhyeon. I am Anna Croft."
The guy, like two men living somewhere.
Harbored an unknown emotion as if she knew about me from the beginning.
