The head of the Pig clan, Kang-ryup Jeo, was dissatisfied.

The deal with the demons was completed, but their attitude was terribly insolent, according to his standards.

“They should know who I am! I need to get the skills out of those demons and get rid of them quickly!”

Kang-ryup’s anger soared, and he took it out by swinging his weapon in his hand.

Recently, the nine teeth of the Sangboshimgeumpa seemed to have gotten dull.

It was nothing but a weapon, yet it didn’t yield as he wished, so that made him angry.

He felt worse because he missed the invisible intruder because of the dull weapon, thus making ‘the one’s favor dwindle.

‘I felt something penetrating. But there was no smell of blood, no screaming.’

Kang–ryup stopped thinking the things he had no answer for and recalled what he had been ordered to do to regain ‘the one’s favor.

He is not fit with quiet assassination, but the stage was on the ocean.The ocean was his specialty.

The conditions there were not so tricky, either.

“I don’t have to kill, only injure enough to make them step back. Ehem! I should ask the butterfly that’s next to him as an award.”

The humble being, Butterfly clan was beside another 12 zodiac clan head, but if ‘the one’ orders so, she will have no choice but to follow.

The Butterfly clan girl always knew her place as a humble being and treated Kang-ryup, a Relic, respectfully.

The butterfly was excellent in information collecting, knew her place, and was beautiful.

He wanted to get the butterfly for himself.

Psss…

He did not notice it, but as his thoughts progressed, the sharpness of the Sangbosimgeumpa in his hand evaporated out little by little.

My dorm room after leaving Myung-ho Hwang’s mansion.

There was still some time left before the party on board began.

‘The hosts said they would send an air taxi to pick up me and Hyo-don……. let’s wait a bit.’

While waiting, I decided to make the final confirmation.

‘I’ll need this item this time.’

“The weight of wealth and life” was used to erase the abilities of unfair admissioned people on April Fool’s Day.

When using the item, a being in a white bear skin and standing on a scale appeared.

It was the item that he handed over to me, and Acea mentioned that the item had an expiration date.

I took out “Loose change” out of the item log.

<View item information.>

[Item Name] Loose Change of the Eraser

[Type] Consumable

[Rarity] SSR+++

[Effect] Clears the possibility of a certain rarity or less.

[Description]

A byproduct of ‘The weight of wealth and life.’

The favor seen by the ‘Eraser’ above the scale.

Available through: One week from now.

Simply put, it is a lightweight, degraded version of ‘The weight of wealth and life.’

There’s an expiration date, and the effect is subtle compared to The weight of wealth and life, which effect was class UR-.

‘Still, out of all the choices I have, this is the best fit for the situation. And it has an expiration date.

The next thing to do was contact some people.

When I opened the message window, I saw that the person I needed to contact had sent me a message.

[Gyubin Hong] Ui-shin, congrats on winning the chess tournament! You didn’t get involved with a strange original, did you? ^^;

Strange Original Clan…….

Gyubin was probably talking about the head of the mouse clan, ‘Wit,’ but if you think beyond that, it was too late for me.

There’s a strange Original clan who pretends to be a student in my class.

Nah, oh well.

[Me] thank you.

[Me] I have a favor to ask.

My message was left on read for seconds.

After a while, a long message came up at once.

[Gyubin Hong] Ui-shin, today is Saturday. There are no clouds, the weather forecast is good, and the frequency of appearance of Other-worlds is stable. It’s a great day to rest. Recently, I’ve been working so much and working all night, I couldn’t sleep. I still have a lot of problems to deal with, but today I’m going to leave work early and take a break^^!

[Gyubin Hong] Ui-shin… please tell me the favor is buying lunch, or an item card, something like that……!

Gyubin Hong was writing the message urgently, sensing the upcoming weekend night shift.

But if I don’t tell him now, the Player Association will have more difficulties picking up after the mess, and his nights of working will increase.

For his sake, I had to say this firmly.

[Me] If you can, you should sleep now and go to work later to take the night shift.

[Gyubin Hong]

Is it a messenger error?

Gyubin’s message came blank.

After a few seconds, he entered a new message.

[Gyubin Hong] OK……

[Gyubin Hong] T.T

Gyubin understood the situation after my explanation but seemed tired and depressed.

I exited the chat before he could whine about it and went into the next chat.

[Me] Hello, do you have time now?

I thought it might take a little time, but the answer came quickly.

[To-yeon Ok] Huh? My rescuer! Hello!

The person I contacted next was To-yeon Ok, who I exchanged device codes at Seokchon Lake.

[Me] Have you received a call from the Tiger clan?

[To-yeon Ok] I did but…… I was planning to go to the TC Knights’ game today, so I don’t really wanna do this! What to do?

What does she mean, ‘what to do.’

She’s not really going to go to the baseball game instead of this important thing, right?

Nah, To-yeon Ok can’t be trusted.

Should I call Jiho to go and scold her?

[To-yeon Ok] Rescuer, can’t we just not go? Why don’t you come to the ball game with me? If you come with, To-yoon unnie will…… OW! Unnie! No, I didn’t mean that.

To-yeon must have been writing messages with voice typing.

I don’t know why, but I imagined her eating a rice cake while saying that shit, then getting her back whooped by To-yoon.

[To-yeon Ok] Mr. Savior, we are going to move as proposed by the Tiger clan. Should I contact you with this same device code later?

Her way of speech changed.

Maybe To-yoon was typing.

[Me] Yes, thank you.

[To-yeon Ok] Good luck, Mr. Savior.

I sent all the messages I had to send.

This time, I decided to check out the congratulatory messages that were piled up yesterday.

There was one noticeable text among all the messages.

It was from the Ji-ik council’s president, Siwan Sung.

[Siwan Sung] Congratulations on winning! Ui-shin!

[Sung Si-wan] I wanted to go to cheer for you, but at that time, third-grade class 0 made an accident and I was called to a Ji-ik meeting…….

[Siwan Sung] That class president wasn’t like this, I wonder why they’ve changed ;;;

Third-grade class 0 again.

The newspaper club members said they couldn’t come to support me because they had to cover the floating Garden that 3rd-grade class 0 had put up.

I should listen to what happened that day during next week’s club activities.

Then I noticed Suhyuk Joo’s message.

After congrats, he added something.

[Suhyuk Joo] After arriving at the dock, please park the air taxi for 5 mins and wait for me!

[Hyo-don Maeng] OK

Not even asking why was very Hyo-don-like, alright.

I replied, too.

[Me] Yeah.

[Suhyuk Joo] Hehe thank you

Maybe he wanted to eat pretzels?

The following was a message from Green Min.

[Green Min] Congrats, I want to go cheer next time.

Yeah, next time, I wish both Green Min and Dae-seok Song came.

Some other noticeable messages were, first, the short ‘grats’ from Sang-hoon Yoo.

Then the message of Nam-wook Jang, which was over 10 lines long.

Third, Wangchan-Geumchan’s psychic-fire craker stamps.

Next, Seung-hyun’s simple congratulation message.

Lastly, Jun-yeoul Yeom’s congrats and asking for a chess match.

My disciple was ambitious with lots of desire to learn.

‘Let’s do this.’

After reading and archiving all messages, I headed to the dorm lobby.

Hyo-don and I were supposed to meet there.

It was the weekend, so there were fewer people, and I was able to find him in a minute.

He was wearing tailored clothes and shoes from Neuroo.

It was a different look than usual, but his hair was much more prominent.

‘It’s styled perfectly.’

The messy short hair was neatly styled.

He did that himself?

He wasn’t the one to go to a salon.

If his hair was too messy, I was going to apply the hair wax I brought with me.

“You’re surprised, aren’t you?”

“He seems surprised.”

Someone from behind me spoke.

It was Lenna Kwon and Han-yi.

“We met him an hour ago when we were getting snacks.”

“He was wearing a handsome suit but his hair was out of place.”

He waited since an hour ago?

Probably because he was nervous at the concept of a ‘lavish party.’

Lenna continued, smiling.

“So I came out with a hairdryer and wax and styled it lightly. I’ve seen the seniors style themselves a few times for a concert. I’m glad it came out better than I thought.”

“Lenna is good with her hands.”

“…….”

Hyo-don was looking tired.

I could imagine Hyo-don refusing politely, but Han-yi would block his pathway and Lenna would style him with a smiling face.

“I waited because he told me you were going, too. I was going to style you if your hair was messy, too. Um, but it looks fine.”

Yeah, I had experience making my hair look neat in the past life, for interviews and such.

I wasn’t as good as beauticians, though.

“The back is sticking out a little.”

“Oh, you’re right. Ui-shin, sit!”

Han-yi pointed out a loose strand and I had no choice but to sit on the lobby sofa and receive styling from Lenna.

Soon, it was time for the air taxi to come, and we separated.

“Goodbye!”

“See you guys at school.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

“…..bye.”

As we boarded the air taxi, I asked Hyo-don.

“Did you say thank you?”

“I did.”

Hyo-don was making progress.

* * *

Incheon Port.

In front of the terminal for private ships.

It was spectacular to see cruise ships, ferries, and cruises of various designs anchored.

As I enjoyed the bird’s eye view, the air taxi slowly landed on the ground.

We were parked, and as promised, waiting for Suhyuk Joo.

“Ui-shin, Hyo-don, Hello. Glad to see you.”

Less than a minute later, Suhyuk appeared.

He was wearing a thin Taylor jacket over a tuxedo.

The sandpink tie between the jacket cuffs was noticeable.

“Um, this isn’t the outfit you chose with us.”

“Hahaha. I had a ‘thing’.”

Suhyuk laughed and got into an air taxi, and got coffee from the vending machine.

“What, did you ask us to park the air taxi for coffee?”

Suhyuk wordlessly took off his jacket and poured coffee over his tux.

“Ya crazy!”

Hyo-don shouted in shock, but Suhyuk smiled brightly and poured it all over to make a huge stain.

“Hahaha! I accidentally spilled coffee. I need to change. Please give me a minute.”

“Ya sick, Suhyuk Joo?”

Hyo-don looked aghast, but Suhyuk looked happy.

He must have a reason behind this.

‘Suhyuk was worried that there would be strange rumors with Hye-ji Oh at the party on board……must be related to it.’

Well, his behaviors looked like a madman.

Hyo-don, seriously worried that he might have gone wrong, still gave him private space.

Suhyuk hung the blinds on the air taxi and changed clothes.

His new outfit was that tuxedo that he had tailored with us in Neuroo.

“I am not following. Did you pour coffee to put on that outfit?”

“Sort of.”

Suhyuk spilled the rest of the coffee in the bag with his former tux in it.

The white shirt and sandpink tie were completely coffee-colored.

He, in particular, aimed at the tie and dyed it thoroughly.

‘…… Sandpink is the problem?’

The shopping bag was waterproof, so the coffee didn’t leak out.

Like the title hero should, Suhyuk was good in preparation.

“Let’s stop here for a minute!”

“Unmanned mailbox? Why here.”

“Hahaha, I can’t carry this around. And if I give this to someone else, they might wash or repair it.”“You must hate that outfit.”

Suhyuk showed the thoroughness of shipping the shopping bag with the tuxedo marinated in coffee into an unmanned mailbox.

The shipping address Eun-kwang High’s student guidance department.

“Let’s go!”

Soohyuk said with a bright, refreshed voice, and took the lead into the ship.The sun had started to set.

A cruise ship owned by TC illuminated the area in its midst and shone dazzlingly.

The ship’s name is ‘Cymopoleia’, which is named after the daughter of Poseidon and the nymph of the waves.

It is an extra-large passenger ship with a total tonnage of about 50,000 tons, a length of about 200 meters, and a height of 30 meters.

This was where we were going to have an onboard party today.
