152. Do you guys like Kyuha that much?

“First, I extracted carbon from the bone fragments in that glass bottle and measured their age. As a result, it was confirmed that the remains were from the 15th century. Next, I did an ingredient analysis, and two ingredients came out. One was a human rib, and one was a cat leg bone.”

“A cat…? Why is there a cat all of a sudden?”

After drinking a cup of coffee, Dr. Batender shook his head.

“You have to understand the times at that time, but there was a custom of throwing cats into the fire together when they were accused of being witches and burned at the stake. There was a misunderstanding that the closest animal to a witch was a cat.”

“ah! therefore…”

“In fact, DNA analysis is impossible on completely burned bones. This is because the bone marrow as well as the bone tissue surrounding the bone marrow is destroyed by heat. However, fortunately, these bones were just burned bones, not in a high-temperature incinerator, so I tried the mitochondrial DNA analysis method, which is protected by hard bone tissue in less burnt areas.”

The two sighed in relief as they immersed themselves in Dr. Batender’s explanation.

He was so focused on the conversation that he didn’t even touch the coffee.

“Anyway, these bones contain all the information of a person’s life. In fact, with just one bone fragment, you can tell what century this person is from and how old they have been breastfeeding.”

“So, what about the information on the bones you requested for appraisal?”

Even Batender could not hide his trembling tone in this part.

“All DNA information accurately tells us that the owner of that bone is Joan of Arc.”

“Hup!”

Yvonne covered her mouth with both hands at the exclamation that burst out involuntarily.

“All records about Joan of Arc. For example, it is almost identical to the records left by Jean d’Olon, who was Joan of Arc’s personal attendant, Beaufert who interrogated her, and the Duke of d’Alcenson who accompanied her. Even that he had a red spot behind his right ear.”

“Then the remains of Joan of Arc are real. Oh my gosh.”

“What was the result of the appraisal of the piece of flag and the ring that we were together?”

“As a result of appraisal, it is said to be authentic without a doubt.”

“Then it is more certain. Those remains belong to Joan of Arc. In other words, Geji, a holy relic. France will be hot soon.”

In fact, it was an official declaration that it was the remains of the real Zandakr.

At this point, Raphael and Yvonne also began to touch reality.

“It was real… it was real!! To find it this way… Huh. I can’t believe it.”

Rafael and Yvonne, drunk with joy, grabbed both hands and jumped around on the spot.

What made the two of them happy more than anything else was finding a great legacy, but

I was most happy that it could be a great gift to the French people who are in pain and sorrow due to the Paris terrorist attack.

“But who gave you this? I would like to hear the name of the archaeologist who made the great discovery.”

At the low voice of Dr. Batender, the movement of the two stopped for a moment, as if a stop button had been pressed.

“Oh right. Ownership is not on our side.”

As soon as I realized that it was only the beginning of negotiations, the excitement that had risen quickly cooled.

“for a moment. What were the conditions they were asking for?”

Raphael had forgotten about the terms of the extradition because he had never expected such a situation to happen.

That part was kindly explained by Yvonne.

“Return of about 3,000 Korean cultural assets held in France. Including Jikji.”

“Should I approve it from above?”

“What are you talking about, Deputy Director? Must be approved! It is said that Korean cultural assets are great, but they are not more important than our own country’s cultural assets. Think about it. 18 records of Archbishop Aubert, who founded Mont Saint Michel, a bronze statue of Archangel Michael, and even the holy relics of Joan of Arc, a hero who saved France. If I can’t bring this, I bet there will be a riot.”

Uncharacteristically for Yvonne, who usually doesn’t talk much, she vomited passionately with a bloodstain standing on her neck.

Raphael’s head spun rapidly and he quickly calculated the importance of the two cultural assets.

“OK. This is nothing to worry about. unconditionally approved. If it’s wrong, I’ll just spray it on the media. As you said, this is not comparable.”

Raphael and Yvonne’s eyes were engraved with firm determination.

***

2 p.m. Incheon International Airport.

“Having done this a few times has given me some know-how.”

The three secretly escaped Incheon International Airport, reminiscent of an intelligence operation.

Although the information of Gyuha’s departure was not leaked, in case of an emergency, he avoided people’s eyes as much as possible and safely got into the prepared van.

Bong-gu, who was driving while holding the steering wheel, lowered the window and took a deep breath.

“Sueu~eup ha. Although the air in France is clear, I like the air in Seoul better. Is it like being addicted to fast food? ha ha ha.”

“Don’t lie. Is it because you can now drink soju with pork belly?”

“Hut. Did the team leader learn mind reading like Kyuha hyung? how did you know Now, let me tell you, French food never goes well with my mouth. As expected, pork soup is the best hahahahaha.”

“Anyway, the negotiations will go well, right?”

Kyu-ha secretly visited Mont Saint-Michel once more and collected the remaining records of Bishop Aubert and the bronze statue of Michael.

Overseas Cultural Heritage Foundation President Lee Jae-geol and Secretary Son Mi-joo were delegated all negotiation authority.

“We did our part, so the experts will take care of the rest. It will probably work out. There are only things you can never give up in France.”

At Kyuha’s words, Han Jeonghee also burst into laughter.

“but. Conversely, if a Kazakhstani brings the remains of Admiral Yi Sun-shin and asks to exchange them with Kazakhstani relics, he cannot but exchange them. I can put my mind at ease. ah! And [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] will be released in about four months.”

“It’s going pretty fast.”

“Director Jean Dumont’s enthusiasm must be great. The production company, Europakov, is worried about it. There must be the idea of rowing when the water comes in as much as possible. No matter how popular Gyuha is in France, it will fade with time.”

“Then I’ll just have to rest for now.”

“Absolute stability! Oh my gosh! No matter how much he is an actor, there is no man who loses weight up to 55 kg. All good. The acting is good too. It’s good to be greedy for roles, but let’s not harm our health. You know what I mean?”

“Yes, yes. That’s why you’re eating a lot of things you couldn’t eat.”

In fact, Kyu-ha gained 10kg in 10 days after filming [The Melody Dancing with the Waves].

“Not enough! Eat more evenly.”

“It will take a month or two. Do not worry.”

A smile was drawn on Han Jeong-hee’s face at the sight of Kyu-ha talking peacefully.

“Poop. Anyway, one answer will be first among actors. Mr. Kyuha.”

how far did you move

I first looked down at Han Jeong-hee, who was going to the office, and a black van stopped somewhere.

“My brother has arrived. Is it really okay if you don’t come home?”

“it’s okay. My car is here anyway. You should also take Geumbi with you.”

“ah! Come to think of it, Geumbi is here.”

Geum-bi was left at an orphanage while Gyu-ha was in France.

At first, I tried to take Geumbi to France like I did in America, but

For some reason, Geumbi was reluctant to load herself into the carrier.

“Geumbi, don’t you want to go far away now?”

“Nyaaang.”

“Then what about you… This time Bongu will be in France too. Hmm..”

Gyuha, who was worried while touching his chin, suggested another plan.

“Or do you want to be alone in this house? I’ll ask you to bring me some food.”

“Grrrung.”

It was an obvious refusal.

“Then how about a cat-only hotel?”

“Grrrung.”

“Then do you want to be at the nursery school? The kids call me every day asking when you’re coming.”

“Nyaaang.”

Only then did Geumbi’s OK sign come out.

Since Geumbi had learned that Gyuha was leaving the house periodically, she didn’t seem to think that Gyuha would abandon her at all. Like that, Geumbi spent about six months at the orphanage.

“I am a little worried. Cats are territorial animals and are sensitive, so they say they can’t easily adapt to unfamiliar environments…”

“Hmm… My mother said she’s doing very well?”

“It’s the director. My ex-girlfriend has a cat, so I know it well, but these cats aren’t easy. I also took care of Geumbi at my house for a while. How fussy…”

After listening to Bong-gu’s nonstop chatter, I arrived at the main building of the orphanage before I knew it.

“Wow, has it really changed a lot?”

The bluebird nursery has undergone tremendous changes in six months.

A green lawn that had never been seen before appeared on the playground, and new buildings were established throughout the site.

The interior of the main building has also been remodeled and is very clean.

“At this time, everyone should be gathered in the restaurant by now.”

It was time for dinner, so we headed straight to the restaurant.

male voice

The sounds of children’s chatter came from the hallway.

“How long has it been since you heard children talking? I’m thrilled for nothing, brother.”

For some reason, Kyuha also felt quite different from before.

Even when I came back from the US, I felt a sense of ‘presumed’ ‘happiness’, but

After visiting France this time, the nursery school I visited was quite different from that time.

I couldn’t clearly define it because it was so unfamiliar to Kyu-ha, but I was tickled and strangely excited.

Gyuha looked at Bonggu and spread his index finger to his mouth.

It was a signal to be quiet for a moment.

Looking out the window into the dining room, a strange sight was unfolding.

Geumbi was sitting on a chair in the middle of the restaurant, licking her fur.

The children were looking at Geumbi sadly from some distance away.

“This time he will come to me. A few days ago, I played a lot!”

“huh! It’s natural to play. I gave Geumbi a bath and secretly gave her snacks?”

Kyu-min and Ye-seul quarreled and boasted about each other’s achievements.

At that time, Sang-mi, a high school student with the smile of a winner, spoke triumphantly.

“Patience. You’re going to win Geumbi’s heart with just that? I got you a doll with Kyuha oppa’s picture on it.”

The eyes of the children turned to Sang-mi for an instant.

“Ew? Is there such a thing?”

“me too! Save me that too.”

“Ahhh, I want to have it too! Gyuha hyung, the doll me too.”

“No guys. Calm down. Eh, isn’t this?”

When Sang-mi was taken aback by the unexpected reactions of the children, director Kang Anna stepped forward.

“Hohoho, do you guys like Kyuha that much?”

“Yes, yes.”

Director Kang Anna warmly looked at the children who answered with one mouthful as if they were singing a chorus.

“I’ll talk to Gyuha later and ask her to make dolls or whatever, so don’t bother and stay there. I won’t give it to crying children.”

“Huh? Really?”

“then. Did you see the nun’s mother lie?”

“hehehe, that’s right. A nun’s mother doesn’t lie!”

The children, who immediately felt better, were happy again.

“ruler! Then you should keep doing what you’re doing. Who will Geumbi go to!”

“Geumbi, Illuwa!!”

It was then.

Geumbi, who was sitting on the chair bored, suddenly jumped up.

“Five! It moves.”

Geumbi, who was snoring, soon headed somewhere like a shotgun.

“Where are you going, Geumbi! uh?”

The children’s mouths widened as they followed Geumbi towards the door.

“Are you Gyuha hyung?”

“Gyuha oppa?”

Where the eyes of the children reached was a smiling Gyu-ha holding Geum-bi in her arms.

“Wooo!!”

“Brother!!!”

The children surrounding Kyuha expressed their delight by hugging each other by hugging Kyuha’s legs.

And although Kyu-ha himself did not recognize it, he hugged the children with a smile that radiated warmth that he had never seen before.
