Episode 123. blue bird (4)
Jerry narrowed his eyes at Yuri’s story and asked again.
“A group that buys and sells Cradle information? what is that?”
A very natural way of speaking.
It was to the point where I assumed that if anyone else had heard it, I was sure I really didn’t know.
But it wasn’t glass.
“Come on? you know?”
“that… well?”
“It would have been like that in the past, but it’s information that was rated for accuracy.”
In the past, at the time of the Yongpae change, Jerry definitely said that.
[Ah, anyway, it’s information rated as ‘high’ in accuracy. It’s high-level information that’s just too good to be dismissed as a ghost story.]
Yuri remembered the situation at that time clearly.
But I guess it wasn’t Jerry.
“who?”
“you.”
“I? when?”
Jerry said as if he didn’t know at all and rolled his eyes.
At this, Yuri sighed.
“I do not remember?”
“All along… What are you talking about?”
“Gee, how could we forget our first meeting?”
“… … .”
“If you can’t remember, I’ll make it happen for you. The sweet conversation we had at the time of the Yongpae change.”
Woodeukwook-.
Jerry hurriedly raised his hand as he clenched his fist and saw Yuri approaching.
“It happened! got it! Are you talking about that time? Then, of course, remember!”
It was only then that Yuri stopped at Jerry’s scream-like cry and sent a subtle smile.
Facing this, Jerry blankly looked up at the sky.
‘under… It got caught in the middle of nowhere.’
If I could turn back time, I wanted to go back to the day when I changed dragons.
If I could, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere near the place where I met that damn guy.
What kind of suffering is this due to a momentary wrong choice.
Jerry was also very sad.
And what makes Jerry even more sad.
‘Why does that crazy guy always f*ck with me… … .’
There are a lot of other people, but that idiot was only bullying himself.
It’s really crazy and jumpy.
But what can I do?
The most important thing in this cradle is ‘power’.
high nose teeth?
It was of no use whatsoever in the current situation.
In this cradle, what is the reason that junior jockeys can’t even shout at senior jockeys?
It was because the seniors were stronger as they rolled a few years earlier.
Put that in reverse… … .
‘It means that if you are a powerless senior, you can be eaten by your junior in this way. It’s my seller… … .’
Jerry sighed and opened his mouth.
“ha… There is an organization called Blue Bird.”
When Jerry finally opened his mouth, Yuri’s eyes twinkled.
“A blue bird?”
“An information trading organization run by jockeys. But it’s not just an information trading organization.”
“then?”
“You do a lot of messy things. Something like collecting news from the cradle and publishing a monthly magazine, or delivering letters between riders.”
“Hoo?”
“But the most important business that Blue Bird does is direct business arrangements.”
“Direct transaction arrangement?”
“If there is something you want to get, find someone who has it and connect them. It costs quite a bit, but once you use it, you’ll think it’s worth the fee.”
Yuri admired Jerry’s explanation.
“A single jockey is running an organization that runs such a business?”
Simply gathering information and trading it was not a business that could be easily touched.
However, publishing a monthly information magazine and even arranging direct transactions.
This was a task that would be difficult for ordinary manpower to handle.
Unless there were a lot of members belonging to the blue bird organization.
Jerry nodded as if understanding Yuri’s question.
“The Blue Bird belongs to an organization with quite a history and tradition in the cradle along with the Wonju Society.”
“What is Wonjuhoe?”
“A social gathering that only descendents of the Ming Family over the age of 18 can join. A royal club made in the cradle?”
“under? Is there anything like that in the cradle? What are you here to play with?”
“Cradle is also a place where people live, and descendants of all kinds of famous families pour in steadily, so it’s not unreasonable to have a royal club like that. Are you saying you’re sticking together? Anyway, that’s not important right now, um… How far have I been talking?”
“The Blue Bird is an organization with history and tradition.”
“Oh yeah. Blue Bird is an organization with history and tradition, and it is no different from a private organization that has been run by the Sing family for a long time.”
“What do you mean?”
“The head of the Blue Birds has been passed down through generations of the Sing family, and if there is no Sing man in the cradle, the position remains vacant until a new Sing man comes in. So it’s no different from their private organization.”
“Hoo?”
“Well, to be honest, you wouldn’t be able to run Blue Bird unless you were a member of the Sing family, so that would be natural.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
“By the way.”
“… … ?”
“Where is the Sing family? Is it that famous?”
At those words, Jerry’s expression changed into a grotesque expression.
“… Don’t you know the Sing family?”
“Should I know?”
“It’s the Singh family! The Singh family!”
“So where is the Singh family?”
“Have you not heard of Eunhwan’s current song?”
“ah! Was that there?”
Only then did Yuri pretend to know.
Eun-hwan’s family.
This was a term referring to a family that had produced geniuses called the wise men of Eunhwan from generation to generation.
Academic, tactical, strategic, management, etc.
A great family that is known to have had a great influence on various fields where the brain is used.
Yuri had also heard of this.
It was the first time I knew that their last name was ‘Singh’.
When Yuri seemed to understand, Jerry said with a face that the frustration was finally resolved.
“okay! The sage’s lineage is the Singh family! And who would dare to touch the Blue Bird, which has been passed down and operated by such geniuses from generation to generation? Even if you try, you won’t have the capacity to manage it.”
“I see, so if there is no one from the Sing family, the position itself as the head of the Blue Bird is left empty.”
Yuri nodded as if she understood.
‘Certainly, if it’s the sage’s lineage, it would be possible to run an organization like this within the cradle. No, it’s only possible because he’s a member of the Sing family.’
One genius does the job of ten ordinary people.
One genius is bound to do the share of such talented people, or even more.
I don’t know how the blue bird organization works.
However, if you are a genius who is said to be the best on the continent, you will probably find a way to operate your blue bird.
In a way that only the Singh family can do.
Yuri, who was somewhat puzzled, stuck her hand in her pocket.
“So, what should I do to use the blue bird?”
At that question, Jerry twitched his shoulders.
At the same time, his eyes clearly reveal the conflict.
After thinking for a while, he sighed lightly and opened his mouth.
“… I will tell you, but there is one condition.”
“What?”
“Promise me you’ll never go there and make an accident.”
“why?”
“… Don’t you usually just say that you won’t get into trouble if you do this? Why does ‘why’ come out first?”
“I have never had an accident. It’s just that accidents always happen around me. Isn’t that something I promise to do?”
“This bird that threw away its conscience… … .”
“Oh, so why?”
When Yuri cut off his words and started a barrage of urging glances, Jerry let out a big sigh.
“ha… Blue Bird operates strictly on a membership basis. New members need to be picked up by existing members to become customers. however… … .”
“however?”
“… If a new member has an accident, the responsibility lies with the old customer who brought it in.”
Hearing this, Yuri smiled brightly.
“Ah, so if Cheri-senpai took me and I play a game there, you mean that Cheri-senpai takes care of everything?”
“… okay.”
Yuri’s expression was accurate.
It means that he understands what he is saying very well.
That made Jerry even more anxious.
‘This is why I didn’t want to say it!’
Is this what it feels like to have your soul pawned by the devil?
Jerry’s face was rotten, but on the contrary, Yuri’s changed so refreshingly.
“Only believe in me, senior Cheeri!”
“… Would you believe me?”
“I will be really quiet! So let’s go quickly with that blue bird or red bird!”
“… … .”
Jerry’s face turned into a weeping look as he looked at his younger brother who had no quirks on his shoulder.

a while after that.
Yuri, who arrived at the destination following Jerry, asked with her eyes wide open.
“Are you here? really?”
“Yes, they say there are other places, but this is the only bluebird base I know of.”
“… Crazy.”
That was the highest compliment Yuri could give.
The place I arrived with Jerry.
It was because it was in the amphitheater.
Yuri and Jerry arrived in front of a compartment through the northern clock tower, especially through the passage on the right used by the 2nd year car.
Facing the closed door, Yuri stuck out her tongue in surprise.
‘Yoram lends their facility to an organization run by a rider? How good of a substitute are you?’
The fact that the cradle allowed them to use the compartments of the amphitheater was simply amazing.
While Yuri was amazed, Jerry was a little cocky.
“You are lucky. This is a very special place among the bases of the bluebirds.”
“How do you know that this is a special place when you don’t even know where the other bases are?”
Yuri’s ridicule was met with Jerry’s smile.
“I know when I see it.”
After saying that, Jerry knocked lightly on the door.
Just- tap- tap- tap- tap-.
strange sound.
Yuri noticed at once that it was some kind of signal.
Not long after, the door opened wide.
click-.
Jerry led the way inside, followed by Yuri.
interior like that.
As soon as I entered the room, I could feel the strong scent of ink.
Soon, what came into sight were bookshelves that were densely installed at intervals large enough for one or two people to pass through.
That is also the bookshelves full of books.
When glass looks around the room interestingly.
drooling-.
Between the bookshelves, the sound of wheels rolling came from the depths.
And soon the voice followed.
“Whoa, who is this? Isn’t it Jerry B who won the heart of our Goddess?”
Jerry let out a light sigh at the cheerful woman’s voice.
“Ha, it’s a blue bird after all, to think you already know that.”
“You would know that even if it wasn’t a blue bird? Rumors have already spread throughout the 49th class.”
Drurr-.
With those words, a woman clung to a ladder with wheels between the bookshelves, sticking her head out.
Only then could Yuri see her properly.
Thick braided white hair and red eyes.
The skin is pale enough to show thread veins.
Contrary to her cheerful voice, she was a beautiful woman with a somewhat sickly impression.
But more than any other feature, it was the woman’s eyes that caught Yuri’s attention.
red eyed.
But what made her eyes even more special was the silver ring on the rim of the red iris.
‘Silver ring… Eunhwan? no way?!’
Quite a unique and heterogeneous pupil.
The red eyes turned to Yuri, perhaps sensing that Yuri was staring at them.
“huh?”
A woman blinking her eyes as if slightly surprised.
Soon, her lips parted slightly.
“Ah!”
Exclaiming, she slid down the ladder.
widely-.
Yuri’s impression of seeing her with both feet on the ground was simple.
‘small.’
I didn’t know it when I was hanging on the ladder, but looking at it like this, I was really short.
‘Is it 150cm?’
While he was thinking about it, she quickly rushed forward in front of the glass.
Then, wouldn’t he snatch Yuri’s hand?
“Really, really, I really wanted to meet you!”
Twinkling star dust fell from her eyes as she held Yuri’s hand tightly with both hands.
“I am Yulia Singh!”
“… … ?!”
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the silver rings in his eyes, but he was really a direct descendant of the Sing family.
Only then did Yuri realize why Jerry called this base a special place.
‘It’s a stronghold with a direct descendant of the Sing family?’
I don’t know what other places are like, but first of all, this place, as Jerry said, was a special base.
At that fact, Yuri smiled and opened her mouth.
“Ah, I… … .”
However, words like rapid fire poured out of Yulia’s mouth before Yuri could even utter all the words.
“Name Yuri Holland, age 16, took the proof test at Irons Manor and became the tenth Black Dragon leader. The Yongpai recommendation is… … .”
Yulia, who was speechless for a moment, turned her back to Jerry and opened her mouth.
‘The inexorable sword Johann Redner.’
The smile disappeared from Yuri’s face as she read her lips.
