“…Is it alright for me to be here?”
“I did not know I would be facing you like this.”

A pub they moved to following Han-bit’s request.
Sitting at the table, Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde looked at Luna across from them.
The fact that this was an unbelievable situation appeared starting from the chat window.

– Is this real?
– You have to be at Black Dragon’s level to talk with Luna;
– I heard Luna is f*cking prickly.
– Saw an Advance Party member get rejected to her face. Lol
– Nowaki? That guy got rejected while trying to hit on her.
– It doesn’t even work on a 3rd generation chaebol.
– Go look at the photos. She’s ㄹㅇ celebrity level.
– Chaebol + super pretty + Advance Party ㄷㄷ
– Black Dragon-ah, go for a confession attack.
– Mentally weak right now so impossible.

The viewers poured out the information they knew in swarms.
The combination of words like a 3rd generation chaebol, appearance, and Advance Party couldn’t help but attract public attention.

“Umm.”

Luna’s gaze fixed solely on Black Dragon in front.
Examining his expression, she asked with a smirk.

“You really seem to have zero resistance to things like fan clubs?”
“…Because I have some bad memories.”

Taking a deep breath, Han-bit tried hard to erase the placard-holding crowd from his head.
He doesn’t care at all about support or praise towards him.
However, it was difficult to predict what bizarre events would happen when it was transferred into ‘actions’.

‘I really hate even recalling it.’

In the past, Han-bit possessed a king of a weak nation called Edipenoff at the northeastern edge of the continent.
Total population 20,000.
There, 2,000 people had the job of worshiping and praising the king.
How would it feel if music shaking the heavens and earth rang out every time you took a step.
How would it feel if at the words ‘The sun is clear’, the vassals were so moved they shed tears.
How would it feel if 2,000 people sent hymns, festival plans, titles, and dedications they thought of all day long.
How would it feel if all the citizens wore matching clothes engraved with your face.
How would it feel if a nude statue sculpting your body was erected nationwide.
Han-bit absolutely did not want to feel those emotions.

“What in the world did you go through?”
“To think Black Dragon-nim would be in this state…….”

Watching from the side, Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde examined Han-bit’s condition again.
Because he truly looked like he was drooping.

– Had a dark history huh;
– Recommendation matching the username.
– But who exactly are those guys?
– Feel like illegal merch goods though.
– Black Dragon and the Guardian of Truth (Black Dragon doesn’t know)
– Unofficial fan club. Lolllll

The viewers as well began having curiosity about the identities of the people holding the placards.
Massaging his forehead, Han-bit looked at Avant-garde and asked.

“You said there are people researching the truth of RP right? What kind of feeling was it?”
“Like me, they are people who have doubts about Adventurer A’s walkthrough, or try to interpret the worldview of RP itself. They said there are also small gatherings of working adults, or university clubs.”
“…They are sincere people.”

Taking an interest in this world is not a bad thing at all.
The appearance of supporting while holding the placards must have also meant a meaning to show the real truth of the RP world.

‘Driving me crazy.’

Since there’s no malice, it’s also ambiguous to express anger.
Should he demand they take the word Black Dragon out of their group name.
No, if he does it wrong, it might fire up their passion even hotter.

“Hah.”

A deep sigh was let out at the situation without an answer.
Watching that, Luna tapped the table and spoke.

“It would be better if you get used to it.”
“Yes?”
“As Black Dragon-ssi also knows, people’s interest manifests in various forms. Although a fan club is a unique case.”

She added words saying she herself also went through a similar situation.
The daughter of a major corporation chairman whose face is known, and a talented Advance Party member.
These are characteristics highly likely to draw popularity as much as interest.

“How did you handle it?”
“I froze the fan club president until they disbanded.”
“……?”

– Ohhh;
– Expected of the tier 1 Ice Magic Swordsman.
– How are you going to beat a chaebol Advance Party. Lol
– Want a taste of the legal team?
– Social death ㄷㄷ

A much more refreshing resolution method than expected.
The viewers continuously bring up the chaebol story, but the source of Luna’s confidence was different.
Overflowing talent and certainty in herself, perhaps.

“That method sounds good too.”
“Right? If you don’t like it just go for it.”

Luna spoke while stretching.
It was advice containing sincerity, not just empty words.

‘Phew.’

While sharing conversations, the headache-inducing thoughts gradually disappeared from Han-bit as well.
As Luna said, following your heart is the best way.
Erasing his worries, Han-bit quickly organized his thoughts.

“I apologize for showing a distracted appearance. I took up your time for nothing.”
“It’s not a common situation right? It was refreshing so I liked it.”

Smiling, she turned her gaze towards the inside of the pub.
And then looking at Han-bit again she spoke.

“Then shall we hear your reason for contacting me first? It seems you were going to ask something though.”
“Ah, hold on. I will turn off the viewers’ sound for a bit.”

– ?
– Ah, why;
– Don’t abandon us.
– ㅠㅠ

Han-bit turned off the broadcast sound turning a blind eye to the chat window that became noisy.
And immediately brought out the main point.

“It is sudden, but I contacted you because I have a question regarding Belmora.”
“If it’s Belmora, the starting city?”
“Yes. I intend to sell that side’s episode walkthrough.”
“Ah.”

Even with just a short story Luna roughly understood the situation.
Because the reason coming to find an Advance Party member like herself was clearly visible.

“What are you curious about? Clients? Or prices?”
“I would be grateful if you could give your opinion on both.”
“Hold on a moment.”

She manipulated the system moving her hand.
Asta, a community where only some are invited even among the Advance Party.
Because you could obtain considerably high-quality information there.

“Belmora’s atmosphere is a little ambiguous.”

After a little time passed, Luna broached the subject.

“Ambiguous?”
“Episode initialization appeared right? Because of that, it seems most of the companies that were focusing their starting on Belmora modified their strategy to Edlen as well.”
“…Ah.”

A short explanation was sufficient to understand.
All the information such as the episode walkthrough and hidden skills Han-bit has shown so far were achieved starting with Edlen.
To any businessman who watched this move, they couldn’t help but be seduced.

“Then will it be difficult to sell?”
“If it’s Black Dragon-ssi’s information, anyone will want to buy it. However, there will be things they demand additionally. Things like how good the information is compared to Edlen, or if there is any additional information you can provide on the Raven Kingdom’s side.”

Luna explained the situation while adding realistic advice.
Listening to the story, Han-bit asked her.

“If all those supplementary conditions aren’t good, about how much would I receive?”
“If that happens, they will end up paying the price to lay down connections with Black Dragon-ssi. There will probably be many places that offer units of hundred-million won like me, but in conclusion, it will become a bit annoying. Because what those people bought won’t be information but the relationship with Black Dragon-ssi.”

Luna adding a warning saying it would be completely different from when he was an individual.
Certainly as long as it becomes a transaction with a company, the intertwining things would become stronger.

“Thank you. I’ll have to think about it a bit.”

Han-bit who had no thought of wearing shackles was about to organize his plan quickly.
However.

“Ah, there is one thing I haven’t told you.”

Suddenly Luna spoke while standing up from her seat.

“Yes?”
“The story up until just now is from a general perspective. There are exceptions.”
“What does that…….”

At the somewhat odd words, Han-bit made a doubtful expression.
In the meantime, Luna began moving her steps smiling.

Step-

The place she approached with big strides was a table in the corner of the pub.
Standing in front, Luna suddenly grabbed someone’s arm abruptly.

“Eok!”

The woman sitting in the seat was startled.
A wizard hat with a long brim worn on her head.
Her face is hidden, but her identity was revealed quickly.

“Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”
“Ah…….”

The called woman slowly lifted her head.
Seeing that appearance, Han-bit immediately recalled his memory.

“…Rafina?”

– Uh?
– Isn’t that Rafina?
– ??
– Why is she there?
– Turn the f*cking sound onㅗㅗㅗㅗ

As expected, the chat of the viewers who recognized the face went up rapidly.

“Uh?”
“Isn’t Rafina… that Spirit Summoner Advance Party member?”

Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde also opened their eyes wide.
To that extent, this situation was too strange.

“L-Luna! Hold on!”

Rafina was grabbed by Luna’s hand and dragged to the table.
The two Advance Party members sitting across from each other at some point.
After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Han-bit brought out his curiosity containing sincerity.

“You are the Spirit Summoner Advance Party member right? But why are you here?”
“Ah…….”

Receiving the question, Rafina stealthily avoided his gaze.
A completely different feeling from when he first saw her in Edlen.
The mature appearance that gave a gentle smile to the people around was not seen at all.
Luna watching Han-bit’s reaction asked.

“I guess you saw her somewhere?”
“I saw her once in Edlen. From afar though.”
“It’s vastly different from when she’s doing outside activities right? But her real self is this.”

Luna poked Rafina’s face with her finger.
She who had her hat pressed down deeply was only taking it.
Watching that as if fascinated, Han-bit asked again.

“But really why are you here?”
“This girl is Black Dragon-nim’s fan. Did she say as a Spirit Summoner she’s too envious and respects you?”
“What’ll you do if you say that!”

Astonished Rafina urgently covered Luna’s mouth.
Only after hearing that story did Han-bit finish understanding.

‘Said she was stuck at Rank 3.’

Rafina, an Advance Party member in the 4,000s.
Even for her, the Spirit skill was stuck at Rank 3 Epic grade.
Although it is a slightly peculiar direction, the difference with Han-bit who reached Rank 5 Epic grade was considerable.

“You said you contracted with inferior Spirits of two elements right?”
“Ah… yes. Water and wind.”
“And your proficiency? I think I heard you haven’t filled it completely yet.”
“That is, it’s been over 10 months…….”

The voice of Rafina answering became gradually depressed.
However pouring in time isn’t a problem that will be solved.

“Shall I give you some help?”
“Yes? Really?”

Raising her head swiftly, she sparkled her eyes.
Seeing that reaction, Han-bit immediately brought out a condition.

“Of course it isn’t free. Luna-ssi, is this person the exception you mentioned earlier?”
“Accurately, Vestige, the company Rafina is affiliated with, will probably need the information. Because it is a place pouring effort continuously into Belmora since the beginning. Right?”
“Yes. Since our CEO is firm.”

Rafina nodded her head and agreed.
If it’s a company that concentrated on Belmora since the start, wouldn’t they offer a decent price.

“I intend to sell Belmora’s episode walkthrough. Could you maybe ask your company’s opinion once?”
“…Hold on a second.”

Rafina sent a message to her company.
It didn’t even take 1 minute for the answer to return.

“Ah.”

Looking at the contents, Rafina made a somewhat troubled expression.
And then turning her gaze to Han-bit she spoke.

“Umm… the CEO is asking if they could meet you once face-to-face?”
