nEarly hours of Saturday morning.

nThe most famous bakery in Eun-kwang-gu that was open at this hour was ‘MITRON’, at the west gate of the school.

nI decided to prepare an additional gift here, as an apology.

n‘They have a waiting line even on Saturday, at this hour.’

nAs I waited for my turn, I checked my device and someone was just sending me a new message.

nThe message was coming up in a group chat room with Nam-wook Jang and Sang-hoon Yoo.

nSang-hoon Yoo Hey

n

n

nSang-hoon Yoo is this Nam-wook Jang?

nSang-hoon Yoo (Article link)

n‘What did Nam-wook do to get published in an article?’

nI immediately clicked the article link to check it out.

nPlayer Military Academy High School 1st grade, Master’s Day Surprise Mass Game

nBelow the headline, the body of the article contained one video.

nA thumbnail of hundreds of players of the Military Academy High School.

n‘It seems like the entire first years. And this…… is Nam-wook Jang.’

nCadets lined up in robes.

nThe person in the front-facing all the cadets was Nam-wook.

nNam-wook Jang Yeah. That’s me.

nSang-hoon Yoo?

nNam-wook Jang It was an event that was prepared by first years on Teacher’s day. Si-hoo was looking at old recordings and suddenly asked to do it.

nNam-wook’s explanation was as follows.

nWith Si-hoo Do in the lead, the first-year cadets are well unified.

nThey were planning a Teacher’s Day event as a group when Si-hoo was mesmerized at the mass game.

n‘Some mass game takes more than a year to prepare, depending on the size. Even in the military, only the honor guards do it.’

nUntil 10 years ago, Player Military Academy high School cadets had to participate in mass games without exception.

nMass games need harsh training, but it doesn’t help with battle skills at all.

nOnly after the widespread joke that students did not apply to the military academy because they did not want to do the mass game, did the stars who graduated from the academy start to abolish the mass game.

n‘And they did THAT voluntarily. They must really love their teachers, maybe like our school.’

nAt first, they only gathered volunteers.

nHowever, in one day, all the first-year students of the high school were gathered.

nSang-hoon Yoo Why didn’t Si-hoo Do lead?

nNam-wook Jang dunno, somehow it happened that way……

nSi-hoo Do did all the planning, but perhaps he thought Nam-wook was more suitable since he was very precise and was good at nagging people.

n‘Let’s see how Nam-wook did.’

nWhen I opened a new window and played the video, Nam-wook’s commands rang out, coinciding with the performance of the military band.

nIt was impressive to see the card section that made different names one by one every time the command changed.

nHundreds of people were moving in synchrony across the screen, and I was amazed.

n‘They made all the names of their high-school teachers.’

nThe last thing that came out was a Carnation and the Players Military Academy Insignia.

nWhen the carnations and insignia were made and the military band stopped playing, the teachers, who were sitting in the four columns of the regiment, enthusiastically gave a standing ovation.

nIn the four rows, there were mostly people in teacher’s uniforms, but there were also people who wore military uniforms.

nWhen I saw the badge of rank on their uniforms, I suddenly felt wide awake.

n‘There are stars on the badge! There are General officers that came for Teacher’s day?’

nI had to give it to them, not chickening out and performing the mass game without mistakes in front of general officers.

nI got why Nam-wook appeared so out of energy in the chat group.

nMe That must’ve been a lot of trouble. Eat well and get some rest.

nYou did well, Nam-wook.

nSang-hoon Yoo Well done

nThose simple two words weren’t enough to compliment what Nam-wook went through today.

nNam-wook Jang Thanks, Ui-shin, Sang-hoon. I need to go back to bed, I haven’t got enough sleep lately. The instructor told me and Si-hoo to wear our formal uniforms and go to him during lunchtime, so I’m going to sleep until then.

nThe day after the standing ovation of the generals, the mass game planners and conductors are called to come in formal attire?

nI could clearly see who Nam-wook was going to have lunch with, but kept my mouth shut to let him sleep.

nAs I closed the group chat screen, something popped in my head.

n‘Maybe Si-hoo did this on purpose to give Nam-wook credit.’

nAlthough he tried not to show it, Nam-wook, who was not able to fight at all during the Jamsil Baseball Stadium incident, was a little depressed.

nThat may have been the intention of Si-hoo, handing over the command of the mass game to Nam-wook.

nThe experience of succeeding in anything gives you confidence.

nOr it may have been because Si-hoo felt lazy to do it himself.

n“Welcome. You came with class 0 students in Grade 1 at that time, right?”

n“Yeah, Hello.”

nIt was my turn, so I stood in front of the counter.

nIt was the man that claimed to be the patissier.

nThat famous player who Jiho said that ‘he has a very strong blessing from an Original clan.’

n‘He remembers me from that day? Huh. I didn’t even wear my school uniform today.’

nLike a player should, he has very good memory.

nI chose a crème Brûlée set with six flavors.

nAlso, a Sorbe ice cream cake made from seasonal fruits like mango, strawberry, and cherry.

nThese were the two presents.

n“Is this for someone?”

n“Yes, please gift wrap it.”

nThe patissier smiled and finished wrapping it.

nAfter exchanging goodbyes and coming out of the store with a dry ice-packed gift box, I noticed something strange.

n‘Does the baker do gift wrapping as well?’

nOn weekend mornings, too.

nIt was strange, but now I had more important things.

n* * *

nMyung-ho Hwang’s mansion in Eun-kwang-gu.

nI arrived through the golden fence and maze garden.

nJiho, whose eyes sparkled as always, greeted me first.

n“Come on in, Ui-shin Cho. You’re late.”

nIt’s not even past 9 a.m.

nRather, it’s impolite to visit people’s houses earlier than this.

nHowever, Hwang Ji-ho expressed that it was ” late.”

nIt was annoying, but I couldn’t help it.

n“Hi, Ui-shin oppa! You’re late!”

n“It’s Ui-shin hyung! I thought you were coming yesterday······.”

n“Hello, Ui-shin Cho hyung.”

nThe three siblings greeted me half with disappointment and half with joy.

n“I’m sorry.”

nI just apologized because if I made an excuse for this, it would hurt the children’s hearts.

nWhimper…….

nThe three siblings were not the only ones I had to apologize to.

nMy Olmu came up to me and rubbed her head, avoiding eye contact.

nShe was happy I came, but upset that I didn’t come yesterday.

n“I’m sorry, Olmu.”

nI lowered my body, stroked her head, and apologized.

nNo response, though.

nOh, well.

nShe didn’t push my hand away, so that means I need to pat her until she forgives me.

nI repeated the stroking for a while.

nBy the time I heard Jiho sigh and click his tongue in disapprovement,

nArf.

nOlmu raised her head, looked at me, and barked quietly.

nShe slightly licked my fingers.

nI think she’s forgiving me!

nI hugged Olmu out of sheer happiness.

n“Thank you······. Who’s a good girl? Olmu’s a good girl!”

nBark bark!

nOlmu responded to my words with a clear bark as usual.

nI was so happy.

n“Ui-shin Cho, Every time you’re in front of Shinsu, your intelligence drops sharply.”

nAt the touching moment when I and Snare reconciled, Jiho was talking nonsense.

nI hope he becomes more like Ho-gun Baek, who watched this without saying a word.

nToday, I decided to invest all my time in the three siblings and Olmu.

nThe gift I had originally prepared for the descendants was a VR game machine and software.

nI prepared three of the same thing.

n‘You need three so they won’t fight and to multiplay.’

nThe three siblings were not familiar with it at first but soon began to play excitedly.

nTheir most favorite was ‘VR Theme Park’.

n‘They must be really interested in amusement parks.’

nEvery time they finished one ride, they immediately took off their VR gear and told me their impressions.

nJiho, who was watching them, said a word.

n“I’ll have to finish the acquisition before summer.”

nSoon, the owner of Namgung Mulsan Theme Park in Seoul will change to Hwangmyeong Group’s Theme Park.

n“Are there any more VR gear? I want to play with Ui-shin hyung and Mr. Golden Tiger, too……”

n“Shinsu can’t put these on, can she? I want to ride with her too……”

n“I want to go to a real amusement park!”

nSeeing the three siblings slightly disappointed, I immediately understood how Jiho felt right now.

nOur smart Olmu knew what we were talking about and acted all cute in my arms.

nBark bark!

nAs a gift for Olmu, I prepared leashed in a variety of designs and colors, so she could choose when going on walks, and a mat so she did not have to sit on the cold floor.

nI put Olmu down on the mat for a test, but she whined and came right back into my arms.

nShe wanted to be in my arms while I was here.

nArf……!

nAll my uncomfortable feelings of Jiho “wasting” money disappeared as Olmu leaned her head on me.

nWhat’s wrong with rich people wasting money, anyway?

nYeah, no problem at all.

n“You better buy that fast.”

n“Yeah.”

nI want Jiho Hwang to buy the theme park as soon as possible and go to play with them.

n* * *

nTime went by so quickly, and it was night.

nAfter going out to the maze garden to see the moon and having tea time, it was time to sleep.

n“Can’t we sleep with Ui-shin hyung?”

n“I want to talk more.”

n“There’s a lot left to talk about······.”

nThe three, dressed in pyjamas, held pillows in their arms and looked up at me.

nIt was cute, but I had to say no.

nWhen I was wondering how to refuse, Jiho Hwang said it first.

n“No.”

nJiho said strictly.

nHe usually said yes to whatever the descendants said, but there were lines they couldn’t cross.

n“Ui-shin is seventeen, and Yi-ho, you’re sixteen. And you want to sleep in the same room? I can’t allow it.”

nFor the first time in a long time, Jiho said something like a man who had experienced the time when Confucianism was the national religion in this country.

n“Then Yi-ho noona sleep somewhere else. Instead, me and Seo-ho hyung should sleep with Ui-shin hyung!”

n“Only you two, that’s not fair! No!”

n“Go to bed. Sleep early, wake up early, and you can talk with him in the morning.”

nIn the end, the three descendants of Silver Tiger returned to their own rooms.

n“……They’ve never asked me to sleep together.”

nJiho disappeared, leaving a sad, lonely comment.

nI remained in the guest room.

nOf course, I’m not left alone.

nBark bark!

n“Yeah, Olmu. Use my arm as a pillow!”

nMy smart Olmu understood my words right away, held my arm tightly, and leaned her head.

nI quickly became drowsy due to Olmu’s high body temperature.

nWhen I was about to sleep, Olmu licked my cheek.

nWhimper…….

n“Olmu? What is it?

nArf!

nWhen I opened my eyes, Olmu barked with a relieved look.

nWhy is she doing that?

n“Okay, okay. Let’s sleep.”

nI adjusted the way I was hugging Olmu and drifted off to sleep.

nJust then, Olmu woke me up again.

nArf, arf arf……!

nOlmu was very anxious.

nI had no idea what was causing her behavior.

nIt was after Olmu woke me each time I fell asleep, and this was repeated several times.

nKnock knock.

nI heard a knock.

n“Yes, come in.”

nThe door opened and Ho-gun Baek entered.

nThanks to the dimly lit hallway lights, the silhouette of Ho-gun was definitely visible, but I couldn’t see his expression.

nNo need to check, his face was probably expressionless, but he seemed more tall and overbearing without his face.

n“Why?”

nI said a bit hoarsely because I had just woken up.

nHogun Baek came closer to me and Olmu.

nArf arf……! Arf!

nOlmu barked quietly at Ho-gun.

nHe just stood there, listening to her barks.

nAfter a considerable amount of time, Ho-gun opened his mouth.

n“Sorry.”

nWhat is he sorry for?

nWhat does Ho-gun have to be sorry for?

nI took some time trying to figure out why, but I couldn’t come up with an answer.

nBut I decided to answer anyway.

n“It’s okay.”

nHe was my final playable character, and I could let him get away with whatever he was sorry for.

nBut even at my answer, he remained silent.

nHo-gun looked down at me without saying anything.

nWhimper…….

nJust then, Olmu whimpered pitifully.

n‘Oh, is he apologizing for Olmu’s bad sleeping habits?’

nThe descendants of Silver Tiger said that Olmu was staying in White Tiger’s bedroom.

nSince it was basically me, a guest, sitting for Olmu instead of him, he could’ve felt sorry.

nBut I was okay with Olmu being clingy.

nI was about to say so when,

n“Someone came.”

nHo-gun Baek turned to the door.

nA little later than Ho-gun, Olmu perked her ears and looked at where He was looking.

n“Let’s go.”

nI lifted Olmu up and wore my slippers.

nThere could be no trouble inside Jiho’s house, but something didn’t feel right.

n“You guys are here, too.”

nAt the front door.

nJiho was standing there.

nBehind Jiho was Red Tiger.

nBefore I could say hello, Red Tiger spoke.

n“There were movements in the Pig clan.”

nSo the pigs finally made their move.

nThat’s why Red Tiger, who was spying on the Pig clan, came here in a hurry.

nBut something was odd about Red Tiger.

nHe had a hazy impression.

n“Red Tiger? Why are you using the Red Smoke in front of me?”

nRed Tiger was using Red Smoke?

nI couldn’t sense it now, but because they were in the same clan, Jiho Hwang seemed to feel it.

n“Golden Tiger, you can’t tell the child.”

nThe child?

nThud.

nWith those words, Red Tiger collapsed on the ground.

n

n

nRed smoke enveloped him for a while and vanished.

nThen, the jacket Red Tiger wore, and the floor under him became covered in red blood.Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com

nHi guys. For a few chapters now, I’ve been using Korean words like Noona and Oppa. As some of you may know, those Korean words are well known, along with Unnie.

nNoona is used when a man calls an older woman, and it means ‘big sister.’

nOppa is used when a woman calls an older man, and it means ‘big brother.’

nUnnie is used when a woman calls an older woman, and it means ‘big sister.’

nThese three words are well known due to K-pop, so I used these terms freely in my translation. However, the term used when a man calls an older man, ‘Hyung,’ is less known so I haven’t used this before this chapter. I did use hyung in this chapter, and it didn’t seem so bad.

nIt was really weird using the other three terms but not hyung, and these terms are almost impossible to translate into English (an expert translator of 30 years’ experience said so too). I am giving you guys a heads up just in case you don’t know the meaning of hyung (or any other brother

/sister terms). I will continue using hyung as well as the other 3 terms. Thanks!
