60. Party (1) [1]
When I mentioned the shaman maiden candidates, Cheongryong and Yeom Bangyeol’s expression changed subtly.
Excluding the matters related to the Red Lion and Yeom Junyeol, the Yong tribe did almost no external activities.
The people who knew about the existence of the Dragon King God’s shaman maidens were rare, and the number of people who knew about the shaman maidens candidates was even smaller.
So it wasn’t strange for them to be on guard.
“You did meet the Dragon King God’s shaman maidens yesterday, but you couldn’t have heard about the shaman maiden candidates. How does the benefactor know about the shaman maiden candidates?”
Because I saw how the Yong tribe and Red Lion collapsed through the PMH.
If I were to summarize, it would be like that, but I couldn’t say it.
“It’s difficult to say.”
“Hmm…”
At my words that’s difficult to say, Cheongryong didn’t press any further.
If not a Yong tribe’s benefactor, but some wrongly suspected humans made such a sound, they might be imprisoned and interrogated right away.
He stopped nitpicking on the benefactor, but as if Cheongryong’s suspicions didn’t disappear, he observed me with a piercing gaze together with the dragons in the walls.
‘If it goes like this it will be difficult to make a request about the candidates.’
I couldn’t talk about PMH, but I had to obtain Cheongryong’s trust.
Among the moves I currently could play, there was a move with the most persuasive power that could be showcased as a proof.
As if Yong Jegeon had the same thoughts as me, he also spoke of the ‘evidence’.
“As a dragon serving Dragon King God, it’s natural to be wary of the words that suspect the Dragon King God’s shaman maidens, and know about the candidates. However, Uisin-i is trustworthy, Cheognryong. There is also evidence.”
As if Yong Jegeon and Cheongryong were pretty close, he spoke with a half-casual, half polite tone. [2]
Yong Jegeon, who soothed Cheongryong, spoke to me.
“Uisin-ah, show it to Cheongryong.”
I opened the item window and selected the most recently obtained item.
When I chose the item, a scale shrouded in divine energy appeared without any warning.
I held a dragon scale shining with five colors in a palm-sized transparent bead above my hand, and the bead also emitted light according to the scale’s light.
Seeing that bead, everyone, excluding Yong Jegeon, were surprised.
“This energy, no way, the Dragon King God…!”
“Five color scale in the bead… Isn’t it the Dragon King God’s scale?”
Yong Jegeon looked at the thing above my palm with a satisfied face.
It seemed that Yong Jegeon couldn’t properly understand the process of taking out the item through the item window, but he was very excited like saying that something is good.
“I don’t know where and how you hid it, and on what kind of principle it appeared. As expected, you’re amazing, Uisin-ah, huh?”
“Yong Jegeon, do you mean you knew that the Dragon King God gave this treasure to the benefactor?”
At Cheongryong’s question, Yong Jegeon nodded and said:
“Yeah. Uisin-i is not a dragon, descendant, shaman maiden or a candidate, but Dragon King God-nim gave him permission to enter the Dragon Palace.”
The meaning of entrance permission to the Dragon Palace handed by the Dragon King God might have been heavier than I expected.
Cheongryong spoke to me, showing courtesy.
“You’re a benefactor, who saved our descendant, have the trust of the Yong tribe’s favorite, and a human who was approved by the Dragon King God. As the Yong tribes’ head, I can only put aside my doubts, and lend my ears to your voice. I’ll hear out the benefactor’s suggestion.”
Cheongryong’s dignified voice was filled with dignity and goodwill.
It might be because I only saw heads like Hwang Jiho or Ok Toyeon, but I felt like not anyone could be the Jin tribe’s head.
Looking at Cheongryong’s profile, worrying about the well-being of the Yong tribe, it was difficult to think of his frivolous appearance waving Hongryong cheering stick.
Thinking about it, I conveyed my suggestion.
“I know that the Dragon King God’s shaman maidens candidates are summoned to the Dragon Palace on the first day of Zhēngyuè on new year of the lunar calendar.”
“You know a lot. It’s Yong tribe’s old custom to summon the candidates matching the time of the succession ceremony.”
The starting time of the ‘Dragon King God’s shaman maiden’ scenario was the day of the succession ceremony.
The first day of Zhēngyuè of the next year lunar calendar, Lunar New Year.
Considering the events that occurred that day, I couldn’t leave it alone.
As I couldn’t change the day of the succession ceremony, I had to at least change the day when the shaman maiden candidates are summoned.
“I wish You move this time a week forward.”
Cheongryong made taken aback face.
I guess he expected that the suggestion would be more complex and difficult.
I added a few important conditions.
“But please inform only the People here and Dragon King God about the fact that it was brought forward.”
“… Is the condition the benefactor added now related to the words of not putting the shaman maidens at the dragon slayer’s prison?”
At Cheongryong’s question, I affirmed right away.
“For safety, You should always put guards around the Dragon King God’s Shaman Maidens.”
“I believe there is a certain reason to put guards around the Dragon King God’s shaman maidens. For whose safety it would be?”
“For everyone’s safety.”
At the words ‘everyone’s safety’, Cheongryong caught my meaning and a shadow fell on his face.
It seemed that Cheongryong understood at once that ‘everyone’ could be in danger because of the Dragon King God’s shaman maidens.
“Are all shaman maidens dangerous?”
I didn’t know that.
Because no information came out about how many Dragon King God’s shaman maidens there was, and who among them was a traitor.
“I’m not certain about this point. So it’s necessary to check them all.”
“… Got it.”
Cheongryong didn’t think long and agreed right away.
“I accepted benefactor’s suggestion.”
Following those words, Cheongryong added the words I have been waiting for.
“And alongside the suggestion, I’ll also gladly accept the request the benefactor made yesterday.”

Eungwang School, 1st year class 0’s classroom.
The classes and end-of-day meeting ended, but the 1st year class 0’s children voluntarily remained and were preparing for Jo Uisin’s birthday party.
Because opportunely Jo Uisin didn’t attend school today, it was the perfect place to prepare the birthday party.
“Should we rent one of the school facilities?”
“Um… We’re tight on time, and I don’t know if the rent permission from the school will come right away.”
“You want to rent? If you apply, the permission will come right away.”
Hwang-ho confidently said that the rent permission would come right away.
Hwang-ho meant that as the school chairman, he would give permission right away, but the class children were confused.
“When training for the accompaniment for the busking last time, I asked senior-nim about the renting process. I heard it’s good to talk about it at least three days in advance.”
“What confidence that lunatic has to make such sounds?”
“… Ahahaha, wouldn’t Uisin-i be a bit burdened if the party is a bit too grand?”
Although not knowing that he was the chairman, Kim Yuri, who knew that Hwang-ho’s identity is not that of a human, quick-wittedly changed the topic.
Considering Jo Uisin’s personality, they agreed to hold a simple party.
Because the words that instead of the party simplicity, they should be much more concerned about what to eat came out, the 1st year class 0’s children became engrossed in choosing the menu.
The 1st year class 0’s children open dozens of holograms with cake pictures and fell into worries.
“Oranges aren’t in season right now, so if we want a cake with oranges, I think we should order it.”
“Then how about making a reservation in MITRON? Can I choose the ingredients?”
Kim Yuri opened the MITRON’s reservation order page on the electronic blackboard.
At the same time, she opened the cake orders guidelines at the side, and exchanged opinions with the class children.
“I don’t know if we should take orange glaze from the options or not…”
“Why not a mirror glaze?”
“Then won’t it be too sweet?” [3]
“I agree.”
“Then lets decided with majority vote!”
After deciding the cake dressings, Kim Yuri started to make a reservation as a representative.
While Kim Yuri was ordering the cake, the other children started to actively discuss decorations.
“Then I’ll personally make the candles. Can I shape them like chess pieces?”
“Yes! Because Uisin-i’s superpower wave is black, it would be good to make black pieces.” [4]
“Ah, right. Uram-ah, don’t personally buy materials! We will buy them. Got it?”
When they decided the shape of the candles, and Kwon Lena was selecting the cake box ribbon.
Kim Yuri said with a flustered voice.
“Guys, what to do…!? MITRON doesn’t take reservations!”
“Reservations are already closed?”
“It was fine until a moment ago, but…”
Kim Yuri showed them the holographic screen.
A notice came up on the MITRON’s cake reservation page.
The children, who read the notice, sighed.
“A notice that the patissier plans to rest until next week Monday due to personal matters that came up.”
“Ah… then should we order at the air hotel bakery that was mentioned as a candidate a moment ago?”
While regretful, the class children made an order at another place.
Hwang-ho, who was tracking Jo Uisin’s device location, which was provided by the Eungwang School, abruptly stood up from his seat.
He observed the movements of Jo Uisin’s device, which kept staying in the Yong tribe’s divine realm.
The ping was gradually drawing closer to Eungwang District.
‘Among the alter-egos that can move around Eungwang District, the closest is ‘Hwang Jiho’s’ body over here, eh?’
Hwang-ho, who judged like this, kicked the ground and stood up.
The class children glanced at Hwang-ho with faces asking ‘What’s the matter?’.
But because it wasn’t day one or two when Hwang-ho acted strangely, they turned their heads and continued the conversation.
Amidst the indifference, Hwang-ho opened his mouth.
“I’ll go first.”
“Yes? Where are You going?” [5]
“There is a matter I personally have to go see. I’ll match with you on the decided details. Sorry for leaving in the middle of the meeting.”
Before the class children could ask Hwang-ho anything more, Kim Yuri quickly settled the situation.
“No. Sorry for keeping you this long! I’ll send you the meeting results through the device message.”
“Thanks.”
“Ah, don’t spoil the party content to the vice president.”
“Right! You can’t be like during the chess competition!” [6]
While listening to class children’s warm farewells, Hwang-ho quickened his steps.
It said to be a walk, but he was moving faster than the students riding air boards, Eungwang School passersby that Hwang-ho brushed past couldn’t hide their surprise.
‘As Jo Uisin is coming this way, I should bring him to the mansion right away. I felt anxious, because the contact with Kim Sinrok was also cut off, but that turned out well.’
One had no idea how much Eun-ho nagged him when Jo Uisin was not answering.
The main content was what were you usually doing that made Jo Uisin not check messages?
‘As he said to have been hurt, should I call for Hyangrok? First of all, I should have Eun-ho examine Jo Uisin, and based on the results prepare a new elixir, eh?’
Just when, Jo Uisin’s device location entered the Eungwang District, and Hwang-ho also arrived at that location.
Hwang-ho faced an unexpected being instead of Jo Uisin.
“You came, eh? The Yong tribe’s benefactor said that the Ho tribe’s head will personally come out to meet me, and it’s exactly as he said.”
The Yong tribe’s benefactor what?
Hwang-ho couldn’t hide his feeling of ridiculousness and said:
“What is that sound? No way, is the Yong tribe’s benefactor you’re talking about Jo Uisin?”
“That’s right. The Yong tribe’s benefactor saved Yong Jegeon and our Junyeol-yi. So although I’m the Yong tribe’s head, I gladly decided to do a little errand.”
Cheongryong stretched out his hand and handed him something.
“I was asked to give it to you.”
“… What? This?”
“I think you know much better than me what it is.”
What Cheongryong handed to him was the device provided to Eungwang School students.
The device that included a tracking function.
The reason why Jo Uisin left it with Cheongryong was self-explanatory.
Hwang-ho pressed his temples and asked:
“Where is Jo Uisin?”
“Right now, the Yong tribe’s benefactor…”
Cheongryong opened his mouth.
“Should be on the private plane heading to Britain.”
“What…?”
Ding.
Just then, the device rang with the new message notification.
It was a message from Jo Uisin.
[Jo Uisin] I’m going to Britain.

Translator’s note: And that’s why you shouldn’t stalk people.
Also, people reading and had caught up with the raws, sometimes the author-nim goes on a break due personal reasons. Some of you are sad about those occasions. Therefore, you should remember what the MITRON’s patissier is doing on his break due to personal reasons. Imagine the author-nim in those situations.
