Chapter 349
I am not a returner Episode 349
Starlight (1)
“Our Korea’s proud hero! “We sincerely welcome the return of Pagunseong!”
A loud voice bursting from a large body.
Gorilla, or rather Manager Han Jun-man, welcomed the return of Ohjin and his group by continuously clapping with one hand the size of a pot lid.
“What is this…”
Oh Jin, who returned to Korea through the first crack after finishing his work in Niflheim, laughed out loud as he looked at the crowd of people lined up at the airport entrance.
‘When did you make that placard again?’
At the airport exit, there was a large placard hanging that could easily be over a hundred meters long, and it said, ‘★Gyeong★ Welcome the return of Korea’s pride, Awakened Kwon Oh-jin! There was a text written saying ‘★Congratulations★’.
I was embarrassed by this grand reception because I had not specifically announced this trip to the Magyeong to the public.
“What is all this?”
“haha! After hearing the news that Mr. Oh Jin had returned from the Demon World, the association produced it ourselves! How is it?!”
Ohjin looked up at the large placard and clicked his tongue.
These tax thieves.
Are you doing a separate study to see how creatively tax money can be wasted?
“Anyway, is it okay for me to let everyone know that I went to the magic world like this?”
I didn’t really have any intention of hiding anything.
Still, I don’t think it’s worth making such a large placard and advertising it.
“Oh Jin, you’re saying that because you don’t know!”
“What don’t you know?”
“This time, after Mr. Ojin went to the Demon Realm, the number of demonic beasts crossing the crack has dropped by less than half!”
“ah.”
but.
After wandering around the demonic world like that, it would be natural for the number of demonic beasts coming to Earth to decrease.
“Of course, there was confusion all over the world as the Named Demon Beasts who had been inactive began to become active again, but the damage was minimized as the number of Demon Beasts coming from the existing Demon World decreased significantly.”
therefore.
Is it because I went to the Demon World that I was able to focus on dealing with the Named Demon Beasts who had started their activities again?
‘That’s enough to advertise it.’
Well, looking at the fact that such a large placard was made, it seems that it has a greater political purpose rather than expressing gratitude.
From Ojin’s perspective, it didn’t matter anyway.
“What is your schedule after that? “If you need anything, the association will provide you with all the support!”
A manager smiles brightly, pounding his chest with a fist the size of a pot lid.
Looking at the smile on his face, it seemed that Korea benefited significantly from this trip to the devil.
Ohjin laughed and shook his head.
“I want to go home and rest first.”
“Ah, then we will take you there! “We’ve already prepared a ceremonial vehicle at the entrance!”
“No, there’s no need to do that…”
I get more tired if I attract attention from people around me for no reason.
With that in mind, I was about to decline the offer.
“Oh Jin, from here we just take the association vehicle and go back.”
Isabella said as she approached Ojin.
“Okay. “I don’t like making a fuss.”
“But you prepared it for Oh Jin, right? “If we refuse here, the association will also be in an awkward position.”
but.
There will be an uproar again for not being able to properly escort a national hero.
“okay.”
Oh Jin nodded and went out of the airport.
A red carpet was laid out at the exit and countless shutter sounds exploded from all directions.
‘No, it’s an international film festival.’
When I put my feet up on the red carpet, laughing as if it was ridiculous.
“Oh Jin, wait a minute.”
Isabella quickly approached and gently wrapped her arms around Ojin.
The sound of shutters coming from all directions became more intense.
“Hehehe.”
Isabella’s eyes sparkle and she smiles with satisfaction.
It was a very natural move, as if they had had this in mind from the very beginning when they said they would ride in a ceremonial vehicle.
“Why do you come naturally and stand next to me?”
Ha-eun frowned and grabbed Isabella’s back.
Isabella rolled her eyes and looked back at Ha-eun.
“You stayed with Oh Jin the entire time you came to Earth.”
“Is that Cassia? “It’s because you and him are fighting.”
“Still.”
After the work in Niflheim was completed, Cassia returned to Earth with Ojin and the others.
While coming to Earth, Isabella and Cassia gave off a bloody atmosphere as if they were cutting each other with a sword, making the atmosphere extremely hostile.
“At best, the intruder has disappeared, so please make some concessions today.”
After returning to Earth, Cassia suddenly disappeared somewhere, saying she had something to do.
Isabella, who was able to spend time with Ojin for the first time in a long time without Cassia’s check, took the seat next to him, even being somewhat forceful, unlike usual.
“Okay.”
Ha-eun had also seen the bloody war of nerves between Isabella and Cassia, so she retreated without saying anything.
“thanks sister.”
Isabella lightly presses her breast against Ohjin’s arm, who is hugging her with a bright smile.
A humming song escaped through the laughter flowers in full bloom.
“Are you that happy being away from Cassia?”
“yes. “I feel so happy because I don’t have that stubborn gummy sister.”
“….”
It seemed like it would take a little more time for their relationship to recover.
“Besides that, it’s nice to see Mr. Oh Jin welcomed like this.”
Isabella looks around with a proud expression.
Seeing people looking at Ojin with eyes filled with admiration and awe made my heart swell, as if it were their own work for no reason, no, it was even more than my own work.
“There was a lot of talk about Mr. Oh Jin becoming a member of the Seven Stars even though he was not a high-ranking awakened person.”
Now Ojindo has become a 9-star and has become a high-ranking awakened person, but before leaving for the Demonic Realm, there was a lot of talk about it even in Korea.
To use an analogy, it would be like a politician with a high school diploma who did not even graduate from college took the position of Minister of Education.
Because the impact of a high-ranking awakened person was so great, it was inevitable that there would be controversy regarding their qualifications.
“When I see this welcome now, I feel like there are even voices trying to disparage Mr. Oh Jin.”
“Well, if you have a track record, any controversy over your qualifications will go away.”
“Anyway, it feels really good to see Oh Jin being recognized.”
Looking at Isabella with a proud expression, Oh Jin burst into laughter.
“Hey, Awakened Kwon Oh-jin! “Can I request an interview?”
“I’d like to hear what happened in Demon Lord!”
“What is your relationship with the Roman saint?!”
As I crossed the middle of the red carpet, reporters came from all directions like bees.
“Uh-huh! What are you doing now? “I’m sure they said interview requests were prohibited.”
“Heehee…!”
“Escape from the Planet of the Apes?”
As a manager came out with a grim frown, the reporters who were flocking around stopped in shock.
“Who said it was Planet of the Apes?”
As Manager Han opened his eyes wildly and looked around with his head, the reporters who were noisily asking questions became a group of people and kept their mouths shut.
“Whew. “Please get in the car, Oh Jin.”
“Oh yeah. thank you.”
Oh Jin and his group boarded a luxurious limousine, escorted by a manager.
I used to feel uncomfortable in the limousine, but I got used to it after riding it a few times while traveling with Isabella.
“Di dipta is a big car!”
Unlike Oh-jin and his group who were used to limousines, Baek Moo-gang looked around with his mouth wide open as if it was an unfamiliar sight to him.
“Is this your first time in a limousine, sir?”
“Wow. “No, Allen gave me a ride before, but I was surprised because it had been so long.”
but.
I spent a few years in the devil’s garden, so it’s worth forgetting.
“Oh, by the way, I also received a call from Mr. Mugokseong.”
“Waveness? What is Wugokseong? Are you eating it?”
Baek Mu-gang tilts his head while sucking his finger.
Manager Han continued with an embarrassed smile.
“This is Awakened Allen Oscar.”
“Allen! “Did you contact our Allen?!”
“yes. “I asked Elder Cheon Gwon-seong to come to the sanctuary.”
“Shall we go! Shall we go! “I want to see Allen, Deneb, and… Saffron and Saffron too!”
“…This is Syaoran and Xiaolin.”
“Oh, that’s right. lol.”
Baek Mu-gang scratches his head with an innocent smile.
Oh Jin looked back at Manager Han who was sitting in the driver’s seat and said.
“Then let’s go to the sanctuary first before going home.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Manager Han immediately drove the limousine and headed to the sanctuary.
It takes about an hour to get to Hongdae, where the entrance to the sanctuary is located.
When I arrived at Hongdae, I saw Allen Oscar coming out to greet me in front of the sanctuary.
“Allen! long time no see!”
“It’s been a while, old man. “Have you been safe so far?”
“Yep!”
Baek Mu-gang runs towards Allen with a bright smile.
He took out the envelope with the letter he had kept in his chest and held it out to Allen.
“I found treasure! “Ojin found it!”
“I heard about it.”
A faint smile appeared on Allen’s face, which had been as expressionless as ice.
Allen, who had been talking briefly with Baek Moo-gang, approached Oh Jin.
“Thank you, Awakened Kwon Oh-jin.”
Allen bows politely and places his hand on his left chest.
I felt a strange sense of pressure as the handsome young man, who looked like he stepped out of a cartoon or movie, bent down in a stern posture.
“Really… I don’t know how I can repay you for this…”
An expression I had never seen before appeared on Allen’s face, which was as cold as ice.
‘Still, it seems like you value your elders.’
but.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to Magyeong alone and delivered the necessary supplies to Baek Mugang.
“As far as compensation, I have already received enough from the elders.”
Even though it was a trap of the Heavenly Demon, Baek Moo-gang went all the way to Niflheim to help Oh Jin.
From the beginning, Ojin helped Baek Moo-gang to obtain the power needed for the war, so he achieved his goal.
“lol! “If a good person calls, I’ll help you at any time!”
Baek Moo-gang raises his hand with a bright smile.
Allen looked at Baekmugang with kind eyes and then turned his head towards Ojin.
“If you’re in trouble, we’ll help you, Mr. Ojin.”
“Thank you just for your words.”
Following Baekmugang, the other apostles of Deneb.
For Oh Jin, who had to prepare for a battle with the Heavenly Demon, this was news that would be welcomed with open arms.
“Anyway…”
Allen trailed off, frowning slightly.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Hmm. “It may be presumptuous, but did anything happen with Vega?”
“….”
Ojin’s expression hardened at the word Vega.
“…Why is that happening all of a sudden?”
“I heard from Deneb this time that Vega’s temple has been completely closed.”
“Closed?”
“yes. They said they locked the door and prevented anyone from entering….”
“….”
Oh Jin clenched his fists with a bitter expression.
“As expected, what happened?”
“No, nothing happened….”
Oh Jin, who was shaking his head in response, suddenly stopped talking.
“Mr. Oh Jin?”
“….”
Ojin nodded with a bitter smile.
“Yes, there was. What happened.”
