51. Studio in Naharing (1)
Hana Choi closed her eyes for a moment.
Actually, it wasn’t as simple as I thought.
‘But it’s also something I must do.’
If you could really be a lover.
It is natural that there should be no lies between the two.
However, apart from the feelings of the two, Lee Jun-woo and Choi Hana were deeply intertwined because of each other’s work.
Although it was only a cadet.
The person Choi Hana felt that the potential was excellent was Lee Jun-woo.
Hana Choi’s eyes were very precise.
It is not a skill acquired through experience.
innate talent.
It was a power derived from her authority, inherited from her father, a legendary boss.
The power to sense the truth.
Although that ability had not fully bloomed yet, it was not as strong as her father’s.
Nevertheless, with Hwang Yong-kyun at the head, the old father’s power was called back.
It was also possible to survive the surveillance network of Song Yu-hwan, who was still trying to purge the remnants.
All because Hana Choi had a special ability to read the other person’s heart.
‘So… the impression I had of Mr. Junwoo wasn’t a lie either.’
Sincerity is the essence of a person.
So, it was not strange that Hana Choi had her first power as an alchemist.
It was the power to look into the essence of matter.
And that ability was absolutely effective, especially against people.
I could always feel Lee Jun-woo’s favor.
‘Honestly, if you were a member of Aegis, you wouldn’t know… Even though you wouldn’t have benefited much from being close to me…’
Even so, the fact that Lee Jun-woo was always kind to him was the truth without any lies.
And Hana Choi, recently getting closer to Junwoo Lee, inadvertently read his sincerity that ordinary cadets would not know.
Obviously, the fact that he was planning something a normal cadet would never have thought of.
That sense, which had been vaguely felt, became more concrete as he and Blood Jaguar became more involved.
– Obviously, Lee Jun-woo is a man who will be of great help to us. No, I would say he is the man who will be the core.
Even that cautious Hwang Yong-kyun could feel that he was taking Lee Jun-woo seriously recently.
Although Lee Jun-woo hasn’t told me everything yet.
It was evident that Lee Jun-woo was also doing something with Blood Jaguar.
[Noeul-chan♡: It’s one. It’s amazing. Is the ghoul hound really having a hard time with Junwoo?]
A little while ago, I also received a message from Jeong No-eul at the cafe.
Ghoul Hound.
Of course, when he works, he wears a mask or hides his identity, so few people know his appearance on a regular basis.
I already heard from Hwang Yong-gyun that the famous villain of Crimson Teeth is cooperating with Jaguar.
The fact that he often visits Jaguar’s cafe recently.
‘Mad Ghoul Hound. Even within Crimson Teeth, he has a very violent personality and is famous for his fighting spirit…’
Even so, being obedient to Lee Jun-woo.
It means that Lee Jun-woo is a special person who can control even the named villain.
If you think so, everything fits together.
He was an inferior student at Theia Academy.
The reason why he had recently become so strong that he could surpass even high class cadets.
‘I must have hidden my identity… and power.’
Probably different from the hero, the atmosphere that is familiar with the underworld.
Hana Choi had been implicitly aware of it through her authority.
That is why Lee Jun-woo did not reveal all of his truth to Choi Ha-na.
In fact, if it was her personality originally.
I wouldn’t have been particularly curious about other people’s secrets.
Because of the truth that she, too, is the boss’s daughter.
He hid his identity and his organization’s work from everyone in the world.
Also, as a virtuber, he is Naharin himself.
‘But Lee Jun-woo is different.’
I wanted to become closer.
So, I wanted to show my sincerity without deceiving each other.
Although he already senses that Lee Jun-woo has a crush on him through his authority.
Still, it’s a completely different story to confirm his feelings with Lee Jun-woo.
‘More… I want to check. each other’s hearts.’
If only she would tell her truth first.
I thought that Lee Jun-woo would also tell her the truth about him.
That thought filled Hana Choi’s head.
In the meantime, the subway arrived at Jongno.
I was able to go inside the cafe right away.
Since Lee Jun-woo is meeting with the ghoul hound.
I stopped by the Jaguar office in the same building to spend some time.
After a while, I received a message from Jeong No-eul that the ghoul hound had left and came downstairs.
Standing in front of the cafe door, Hana Choi made up her mind.
‘I’m getting closer to Lee Jun-woo today!’
The beginning is to make oneself known as Naharin.
She opened the cafe door and stood in front of Lee Jun-woo.
***
Right after the ghoul hound goes out.
Hana Choi arrived at the cafe. I sat across from her.
“Oh, did you wait a long time!”
Hana Choi said to me urgently.
Actually, I talked to the ghoul hound.
I didn’t feel like waiting that long.
‘Noeul-nuna must have contacted me again in moderation.’
It didn’t feel like Choi Hana had come to this place right away.
I talked to the ghoul hound for about 30 minutes.
He must have already arrived and stopped by Jaguar’s office for a while.
“no. didn’t wait long Would you like to sit down?”
“yes…!! Okay.”
For some reason, Hana Choi was more energetic than usual.
A personality like a fourth dimension that is completely unpredictable.
Still, that was the charm.
‘And that hidden figure is Naharin.’
It’s a secret that only a few know.
However, Hana Choi probably doesn’t know that I already know that fact.
Unless it’s a special case like Siwoo Jung.
Hana Choi has thoroughly hidden the identity of Naharing.
‘Although it’s the same for me.’
If it were her, it would seem that she would notice at first glance.
I didn’t tell her who I was.
But Jaguar’s sub-boss, Hwang Yong-gyun, already knows the truth.
I had an intuition that the time was approaching.
‘It’s time to get closer to each other beyond a simple dating game.’
The underworld was more chaotic than reported in the media.
The two most powerful forces of the underworld.
So, those two subordinates who betrayed Hana Choi’s father worked hard to establish a connection with the Hunter Association in order to survive.
With the Hunter Association and its own route, Valhalla’s apostles were encroaching on the underworld.
The media also has a much stronger relationship with the Apostles of Valhalla than with the Hunter Association.
Although not being reported.
40% of the underworld has already been occupied by Valhalla’s apostles.
‘The remaining 60% is no different from a ragtag.’
The two bosses of the underworld were not on good terms.
In addition, the reader villain forces called Crimson Teeth are in full swing.
It was clear that the underworld, who were not united like grains of sand, would soon be eaten by the apostles of Valhalla.
‘No matter how well Orifiel maintains Crimson Teeth. It’s impossible with a single force like that.’
So, the current crisis was an opportunity.
An opportunity to reunite the underworld in the name of Hana Choi and Unknown.
So I had to decide.
Should I reveal to Hana Choi that I am Unknown?
At that time, Hana Choi stood up from her seat and said.
“Um… it’s nice to talk at a cafe. Why don’t you go somewhere else to play?”
I nodded my head at the strangely powerful voice.
In an instant, Noel noona’s eyes met.
Seeing the two people about to leave, he looked very regretful.
“Then have a good time!”
Still, like Noel noona with a good personality, she waved at the two of them.
Soon Hana Choi blushed with an embarrassed expression.
***
Hana Choi led me to the third floor of an old building.
Above the 4th floor, just like when the ghoul hounds attacked before.
There is the office of Blood Jaguar.
The third floor below that is the Underdolz studio.
Of course, it is a studio used by virtubers, so it is a completely private place to the outside world.
But Hana Choi took me into the studio.
“Today everyone will be going to work late at night, so no one will be there. Come on in!”
And to my surprise, Hana Choi brought me, an outsider, into the place.
She said to me who hesitated for a moment.
“Hmm… That… Jun-woo might be a little embarrassed, but…”
It’s good that you brought me here with good spirits.
Right now, Hana Choi seems to be at a loss as to what to say to me.
‘I am Naharing! I can’t say that right away.’
She’ll be embarrassed if I’m awkward too.
I pretended not to know and asked her.
“This is also the building of Blood Jaguar, right? Isn’t Noeul noona also a member of Jaguar?”
“yes that’s right! Our organization’s… no, that’s…”
“are you okay. I already knew because I was very close with Noeul noona. That there is a connection with the Blood Jaguar.”
Having said that, Hana Choi felt much more at ease. I continued.
“And I have something to tell you today.”
“What?! Ha… if you have to say…”
I was going to talk about my true identity as Unknown naturally.
Hana Choi’s face became strangely red.
‘Could I have thought of something else?’
I don’t know if I thought I would confess my feelings to her.
The reaction made me feel like my face was getting hot for no reason. Soon Hana Choi turned her horse around and moved together.
“Well, then… would you like to have a light bout just for a change of pace?”
Hana Choi led me in front of the monitors placed side by side.
To that, I replied with a little bewilderment.
“Northern Warworld? Let’s play as a duo?”
Hana Choi hurriedly nodded at those words.
