Mido’s YouTube broadcast went smoothly. The viewers wrote their questions in the chat window and Dark Wolf answered. He also filtered out anything that was difficult to answer. For example, what was his level? What nationality was he? The most common question was asking him to remove his mask. However, Dark Wolf didn’t take off his mask.
Mido was also curious, but she didn’t want to force him to do so. Thus, she simply asked him to take it off when he was ready. The two of them went in a circle around Metheus until they faced the central fountain where they first met. The broadcast went smoothly and she reached out to Dark Wolf after it ended.
“Thank you for allowing me to broadcast with you. I think it was a great time for me and the viewers.
“No. I enjoyed it too.”
“Really? I’m glad.”
Mido smiled. She really had enjoyed it. At first, it was burdensome to walk around surrounded by users like they were celebrities walking the streets of Hongdae. Then time passed and she became familiar with it. She learned many things she didn’t know about him and felt a bit closer. Maybe now was a perfect opportunity to get his phone number.
“Sister Mido!”
“...?”
She turned her head at the fairly familiar voice. It was a man around the same age as her little brother, but the face was a bit familiar. She asked, “Seongchan? Why are you here?”
“I followed you. Aren’t you really good at broadcasting?”
“Of course. Dude, I am a veteran. Ohuhu.”
Mido laughed like she was an old man. Park Seongchan smiled when he saw Mido becoming prettier.
‘She is pretty every time I see her, this sister.’
There was one reason why he came here. It was because of Grandfather Park Muyeol’s request. It was to meet Dark Wolf who was standing next to Mido. Dark Wolf’s real identity was Grandfather Choi Chuntaek, an old master who was about to turn 70. Then a whisper arrived from him.
-Jackson:Welcome.
-Raybelt:Hello, Grandfather.
-Jackson:Muyeol hasn’t contacted you yet?
-Raybelt:Yes.I can’t send any whispers.These days, he has skipped eating outside the capsule and is just hunting.I’m worried.Well, I’m sure he can handle it.
-Jackson:Hmm, if it is the west end of the world where the sun set, then it must be there...I know.Don’t worry too much.I’m going.
-Raybelt:Yes.
-Jackson: Additionally, you know to be careful when talking to Mido?
Park Seongchan stared at Dark Wolf, no, Choi Chuntaek, standing in front of him. The sight of him with his arms crossed was very overbearing.
-Raybelt:D-Don’t worry.I won’t say a word.
-Jackson:Yes,I will trust you.Please keep it from Mido.
-Raybelt:Yep!
Park Seongchan stood at attention and finished the whisper in a determined voice. He could hardly comprehend it. Why was this person hiding his identity from his granddaughter, Mido?
‘Did he do anything wrong?’
His thoughts didn’t last long.
“I’m going.”
“Ah, already?”
Dark Wolf said he was going already and Mido felt sorry for some reason. She wriggled her fingers while feeling troubled. Would she be treated like a strange person if she asked for his phone number now? No, he wouldn’t push away such a beautiful person like herself. She thought he wouldn’t refuse when she looked like this.
‘Yes, I will ask.’ She made a decision.
Just then, Dark Wolf spoke to her, “Take it. It is a gift.”
“Huh...?”
Mido looked at him with a flustered expression. Her eyes widened when she saw it.
“This...?”
“I heard from your grandfather that you wanted to call me. This will allow you to make personal contact with me in the game, even if it isn’t in reality.”
“G-Grandfather...?”
“Yes, take it.”
Mido felt sorry for her grandfather, whom she lost her temper with this morning. Then she politely received what he had given her.
[Fortren’s Nobles Only - Designated Return Stone]
She read the information window of the designated return stone and loved it. In fact, it was one of the hardest things to find. It was one of the most precious things for high level users. For people who didn’t have a return scroll, they sometimes added magicians who could open a portal to their party. Now Mido could freely do so.
“Then take care of yourself.” Dark Wolf said goodbye.
“Ah, yes! Goodbye!” Mido politely bowed 90 degrees.
At the same time, a magical energy shook around Dark Wolf and created an oval portal in the air. Users in the area, including Mido, looked on with envy. Dark Wolf entered the portal and disappeared in an instant. Once he disappeared, the users around him started to scatter one by one.
* * *
My body felt like it was floating and the portal opened on the other end. I felt a bit strange as I stepped onto the ground, causing me to sigh deeply.
“Sigh. It is hard to do this, hard.”
It didn’t seem easy to keep hiding my identity. Of course, I didn’t intend to fool her to the end. I was going to have to reveal my identity someday. However, the sharp questions from the viewers were enough to keep the conversation cool.
“Groan. There were definitely reporters.”
I guessed that there were definitely reporters among those who were chatting. I was displeased by it. The only one I was willing to talk to was Joseph...
“Phew. It is my blessing.”
I looked around and took a big breath. The fresh air and scent of Aiolia pierced the tip of my nose. This was Windia. It had been a long time since I visited this place. Despite the damage, Windia seemed to have regained some of its old form.
“Good job.”
I headed straight to the lord’s castle. The guard who recognized me was surprised and saluted. I greeted him lightly and stepped toward Edward’s office. As I walked, I remembered the item I had given to my granddaughter Mido. Now she wouldn’t bother me anymore. In fact, it wasn’t just the Resistance's Cloak that Aren had given me. I asked Aren to give me another designated return stone and he happily gave it. I gave it to Mido to relieve her anger. I had to see if it worked out.
“Hmm, should I have given her the Star Fruit?”
I had thought about it, but there were too many people around. I didn’t want to see the reporters chasing after my granddaughter.
“Yes. Let’s discuss it later. Later.”
I reached Edward’s office and knocked on the door.
Knock knock.
“Who is it?”
"It's me."
“Jackson?”
“Yes, I’m going.”
“W-Wait a moment!”
I could hear a loud noise from inside the door. A short time later, the commotion calmed down and Edward’s voice was heard as he pretended to be dignified. “C-Come in.”
It was quite a good act and I couldn’t help laughing. I opened the door and saw Edward sitting cross-legged on the sofa while sipping tea. Additionally, there were documents and books that weren’t sorted out yet. I picked up a book near the door.
-100 Ways to Make a Loyal Knight
“......”
“W-Wait. Why is that there?”
Edward ran up to me, snatched the book in my hand, and threw it into the corner.
I picked up the other books that had fallen to the ground and read their titles out loud, “When a Man Becomes a Knight... Introduction to Lord Studies... How to Make a Knight... The Nuances Between Love and Loyalty... The Link Between a Lord and a Knight...”
“S-Stop reading!”
Edward’s face was red as he picked up the pile of books that had fallen to the ground and placed them in a corner. It was all about how to make someone a knight. Don’t tell me he was still planning on making me a knight? Edward roughly finished organizing things and spoke hesitantly, “You know...”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to become my knight?”
“I don't want to.”
"Aaaack!” Edward clutched his head and screamed.

Night came.
In the meantime, Park Muyeol and Michael had moved deeper into the forest. Originally, Park Muyeol didn’t feel tired or hungry and hunted calmly in the darkness. However, it was different for Michael. Park Muyeol inevitably had to light a campfire and Michael silently placed combat food in his mouth. They were just walking without saying a word.
The silence continued.
‘...What is this?’
Michael was the first ranked swordsman and he had met all types of swordsmen. In the process, he earned the title of Great Swordsman and he was treated quite well in the Orca Kingdom. Orca’s king had even asked him to be a knight commander.
However, he refused. Instead, he was asked not to leave and given a castle and territory. He also gained the status of a nobleman. The Zeus Guild had a solid force based there. Michael was once again amazed at the previous scene that was a feast of swordsmanship. The tight sword movements were perfect.
‘He must be a Sword Sage.’
Rumors about a Sword Sage were rampant even in the Orca Kingdom. Someone said they met a Sword Sage in the far east while others say a Sword Sage wasn’t human. However, all the rumours were just like catching clouds. It wasn’t certain. Michael didn’t believe them and he was convinced that he would one day meet one when wandering around. Now it was becoming a reality.
“Are you perhaps a Sword Sage?” he wondered.
“Sword Sage? What is that? I know the essence of a sword”
“It is useless pretending you don’t know. You can’t fool my eyes.”
“Funny guy. Yes. What did you see?”
“I saw your sword.”
“Hoh? Do you know swordsmanship?” Park Muyeol felt a strong competitive spirit toward the person in front of him, Michael. Park Muyeol might not know this person’s face, but he saw excellent double swordsmanship from him. Of course, he wasn’t as skilled as Park Muyeol.
‘He is pretty useful.’
The two swords this person wielded cut the monsters in a beautiful curve. Park Muyeol naturally swung the sword sheath in order not to lose to him. The two of them had good cooperation even though they didn’t say anything. It was like when he first met Chuntaek.
‘It is the first time I’ve encountered this since Chuntaek...’
Thus, he wanted to fight even more. Park Muyeol increased the strength of the fire by adding in more branches. Just then, Michael opened his mouth, “My strength is insufficient. Please give me some instruction.”
“What?”
Park Muyeol stared with wide eyes. It was suspicious that a man whose face was unknown abruptly asked him for lessons. Park Muyeol replied, “Why should I believe you?”
“I’m not a suspicious person. I just came here searching for a bead fragment.”
“A bead fragment?”
“That’s right.”
Park Muyeol briefly touched his beard and he started to search his inventory. He had killed a monster before meeting this person and obtained something similar.
“Is it this?”
The bead fragment in Park Muyeol’s hand shone brightly.
