Before returning to Eun Gwang-gu, we all stopped by the souvenir shop.

Since there were many people to give gifts to, instead of taking them all, we decided to send them by courier, but since there were no restrictions, the quantity increased.

As I was adding the Baeknyeoncho chocolate to the holographic order list, Hwang Ji-ho said.

“That’s quite a lot. I welcome any gift you give me, but no matter how much Heuk-ho eats, he won’t be able to eat all of that.”

“There are gifts from other Jin clans, too, compared to the school people.”

“Joe-shin...... Even if the Eun Gwang-go people are like that, there’s no need to take care of other Jin clans. In particular, leave the leaders of the 12 branches alone. It would be better to take care of the Ho clan.”

It seems like it’s okay to take care of the Eun Gwang-go people.

Even though Hwang Ji-ho said that, I ignored it and chose the gift because it was obvious that Ok-to-yeon and the other Jin clans would be upset if they found out.

There were more than a few people who complained that they didn’t receive the cake gift I bought at Kim Shin-rok’s 100th day party, so it was better to eliminate the seeds of discord in advance.

Especially since Yong Je-geon was here, it was obvious that word would leak out somehow, so I had to prepare for it.

“Mr. Hwang Ho, Yi-shin has already bought dragon fruit jelly to give to the dragon tribe. Isn’t it amazing that a fruit named after a dragon happens to be one of Jeju Island’s specialties?”

Yong Je-geon said as if teasing Hwang Ji-ho.

Because of that, Hwang Ji-ho’s already bad mood got even worse.

Before going to the souvenir shop, I toured Jeju Island with Hwang Ji-ho.

I checked the main areas and places that appeared in Plumago’s school trip scenario, but Hwang Ji-ho didn’t find any particular abnormalities other than his intelligence being somewhat disturbed.

‘Even though the geology is unstable, it is natural that the veins of the land near an active volcano are not normal.’

Hallasan was once classified as an extinct or dormant volcano, but it is now treated as an active volcano that can start volcanic activity at any time.

If volcanic activity starts, it is unknown when it will happen, whether it will end with a volcanic eruption that flows out magma, or whether it will cause a violent volcanic eruption that spews out volcanic ash, volcanic bombs, and pumice.

However, when analyzing the magma in Jeju Island’s volcanic zone, there were research results that predicted that the explosive power would be weak because the gas ratio was low compared to other countries.

Therefore, even if a volcanic disaster occurred, there was also a prediction that most residents would have enough time to evacuate to the coast.

‘Even so, if you know what is going to happen in the future, you can’t help but worry.’

Hwang Ji-ho did not hide his discomfort as he responded to Yong Je-geon.

Normally, he would not have dealt with such pitiful words, but he must be feeling that bad.

“Jo Eui-shin bought food gifts for the nobles, as well as postcards with pictures of Beomseom Island. He must have written special messages and given them to the descendants of Heukho and Eunho.”

“Beomsom Island, you mean that natural reserve island that looks like a crouching tiger? There’s been a lot of rabbits there recently, and it’s causing chaos. Heukho and his descendants must be happy because they’re close to Toyeon.”

Hwang Ji-ho responded childishly, as if he was bragging, but Yong Je-geon was even more so.

I heard news that rabbits had multiplied enough on Beomseom Island to the point of causing ecological disturbance, so they were being captured to protect the island.

But did I really have to mention that?

I was impressed by Yong Je-geon’s knowledge of current affairs, but it was useless.

Hwang Ji-ho’s mood got even worse when he heard Oktoyeon’s name, and Yong Je-geon was happy.

While I was choosing a gift, leaving the two of them fighting ridiculously, Hyunmoo spoke to me.

“I guess I should say goodbye here.”

I thought we would return to Eun Gwang-gu on a private plane together, but I guess not.

Hyunmoo smiled gently and briefly explained his schedule.

Hyunmoo called Li Wei and explained that he would enjoy a tour of Jeju Island and that he would stay longer to introduce the two while relieving the amount of sleep he still had.

Unlike the immature Jin tribes present, Hyunmoo showed his affectionate and responsible adult side until the end.

“I’m glad I could talk to him for a long time.”

I had met Hyunmoo quite a few times, but I had fewer opportunities to talk to him for a long time than I thought.

Today, I was also short on time, but I was still able to talk to him for a relatively long time.

Before going around Jeju Island with Hwang Ji-ho, Hyunmoo talked about the player who completely controlled the outburst during the Chonglai Mountain incident in China.

Hyunmoo must have talked to Hwang Jiho in advance during the night, because he organized the necessary information and immediately relayed it to me.

Thanks to that, I had some time to talk about something else.

‘Unlike other Jinjoks, I’ve never helped Hyunmoo, but he’s treated me so well.’

The Tiger and Dragon clans would often find fault with me and say that I was their benefactor, but Hyunmoo didn’t even have such trivial faults.

If I had to be specific, I only helped Hyunmoo indirectly avenge Liwei, a human he cared about, but it didn’t seem like he was treating me well because of that.

Hyunmoo was just affectionate to me.

“Me too. Thank you for helping me.”

“Contact me if anything happens. You can talk to me directly without going through Hwangho.”

Hyunmoo smiled through his blindfold and gently asked if I remembered his device code.

Of course I knew, but I didn’t say anything other than greeting him.

The more affectionate someone was, the harder it was to ask for something.

I didn’t feel like doing hard work because I thought he would take on the hardships without any worries.

I asked him to change the subject.

“Are you going back to China after you finish your Jeju Island tour?”

“Of course. Li Wei still has a semester left, and I also want to meet my long-lost friend. It’ll be hard to meet him, though.”

Hyunmu turned his head toward Yong Je-geon and Hwang Ji-ho, who were engaging in childish bickering and strange bragging, despite their age.

Through the blindfold, Hyunmu was looking at his friends next to them.

Kim Shin-rok, standing behind Yong Je-geon, tried to poke his back with his fingertips, but failed several times, and Cheong-ho, standing next to Hwang Ji-ho, was shouting something at Yong Je-geon.

It {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} was a rather pitiful sight, but Hyunmu’s face showed faint envy.

Hyunmu must be missing his friend too.

In particular, he seemed to be thinking of Ju-jak, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

‘The white tiger must be Hyunmu’s close friend, so what are you doing without taking care of him?’

I blamed the white tiger, another one of Hyunmu’s close friends.

The leader of the dragon tribe, the blue dragon, is second to none, and Baekho-gun is no different from Baeksu.

If Hyunmu is worried about Jujak like that, it would be better if he listened to his story, but I don’t know what he’s doing.

The white tiger must have read this thought, but it didn’t show much reaction.

It’s not that the relationship between the four beasts isn’t that strong, but it might be that Baekho-gun couldn’t solve the Jujak issue with just a few words.

“You don’t have to worry about me. How can you be lonely when a kind kid like you cares for you?”

Hyunmu smiled warmly as he said that.

I couldn’t tell loneliness from that smile, and I couldn’t tell if it was because he wasn’t really lonely or because he was hiding his emotions well.

“You can think about my work later. Right now, you have a lot to do and think about.”

Hyunmoo’s words made me think more.

Does ‘later’ mean that I will get involved with Hyunmoo again someday?

And the things I have to do now also came to mind in a complicated way.

Yongjegeon is just playing around without thinking, but before he does, he checks Yeom Junyeol’s schedule in advance.

―If you’re going to do that, it’d be better to do it before the vacation ends! Junyeol is the student council president and is very busy. You have to finish the difficult work in advance.

―What on earth are you thinking, guiding Jo Ui-shin and the descendants of the Yongjok to do that difficult work?

―Well. I think it would be best for Hwangho to think about that carefully.

Yeom Junyeol was faithfully spending every day of vacation like a star player, so he couldn’t meet him right away.

Because the exchange schedule was long, there were many things I had put off, so I had time until I met Yeom Jun-yeol.

Thanks to that, I had time to think and prepare, but I didn't feel all that happy.

―In the meantime, it would be good to coordinate the schedules of the kids going on the school trip with Jun-yeol. Then I could see it from various perspectives. Right, Eui-shin?

I couldn't help but admit that I had the same thoughts as Yong Je-geon.

I was thinking that I should write a replay for other people besides Yeom Jun-yeol.

I wanted to experience the replay in one place and at the same time so that it would be easy to compile and compare information.

And when I woke up, I also thought that it would be nice if we could look at each other and feel relieved.

Hyun-moo watched me the whole time as I was speechless and kept my mouth shut.

At the same time, Jongno 1-ga, Seoul, Red Lion's team building.

Yeom Jun-yeol was confused but happy as he looked at the message he received from Yong Je-geon.

Yong Je-geon asked about Yeom Jun-yeol’s schedule and then suddenly brought up Jo Ui-shin’s name.

[Jeong-i hyung] I see, you’re really busy these days.

[Jeong-i hyung] But there’s something I want you to do with Ui-shin, can you make time before the vacation? ^^

Yeom Jun-yeol hesitated for a moment at Yong Je-geon’s ‘^^’ emoticon, but he quickly forgot because he really liked the content.

As soon as Jo Ui-shin’s name came up, Yeom Jun-yeol replied that he would make time right away, even tomorrow, but Yong Je-geon’s response was not encouraging.

[Jeong-i hyung] I need to make time for at least two days, maybe three days in a row. I can’t make time for just a little bit.

Yeom Jun-yeol made a very bright expression at Yong Je-geon’s answer.

The fact that he had to make time for a long time meant that it would take a lot of time and that it was important, and he was very happy to be doing it with Jo Ui-shin.

It was a bit strange why Yong Je-geon came forward instead of Jo Ui-shin asking directly.

But if you think that Jo Ui-shin was preparing something and Yong Je-geon was just interfering, it makes sense.

[Je-geon hyung] Then I'll tell Cheong-ryong and Yeom Bang-yeol too! ^^

What exactly does Yong Je-geon do?

He didn’t tell me at all.

In addition, Yeom Jun-yeol’s doubts grew as the messages continued.

‘Do I need permission from Uncle Cheongryong and my father?’

If he needed permission from both of them and the mediation of Yongjegeon just to meet a close junior, it didn’t seem like an ordinary thing.

Yeom Jun-yeol thought carefully about whether something special had happened around him that would require Jo Ui-shin’s intervention, but nothing came to mind.

The video of Jo Ui-shin that he had edited and uploaded from a live broadcast last time received very good reviews, and Yoon Yeo-rang, who had received Jo Ui-shin’s consultation, was very happy, saying that she had succeeded in developing a new technology.

If I had to pick one unusual thing that had happened around him, it would be that he met a child who looked like the leader of the Green Tribe and had his pulse taken by his mother.

‘I heard that Yi-shin had also had his pulse taken by someone named Hyang-rok. ‘She was a doctor trusted by the clan, so the dragon clan trusted her and brought her to have her pulse checked.’

While Yeom Jun-yeol was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door and a familiar voice.

It was Yeom Jun-yeol’s mother.

“Jun-yeol.”

“Yes, mother.”

Yeom Jun-yeol responded politely and immediately, but he thought it was unexpected.

It wasn’t common for her to come to Yeom Jun-yeol.

When he quietly opened the door, he saw a pale face.

She spoke, reassuring Yeom Jun-yeol, who was worried, that it was okay.

Her voice sounded as bad as her complexion.

“I had a bad dream.”
