Please look over here just once!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyaa! He really looked! His gaze is terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piercing voices and chaotic noise combined, making my head ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star King!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star King--!! Please shake my hand just once!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was completely surrounded by people. They pressed in, radiating heat, cheering endlessly.The intensity of their excitement was almost overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star King--!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no. I need to get through, so could you please step aside….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our hero!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though no one was physically touching me, the crowd was so dense I couldn’t move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, who knows how long it’ll take to get to the Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I push through with force, knock them aside, or just leap over them? The thought crossed my mind briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star King…!! Thank you so much back then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to you, I was able to save my mother…! I’m truly, truly grateful….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the people approach me with gratitude, I couldn’t bring myself to move my hands easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Tch.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do? Just as I was about to deeply ponder the situation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star King Oppa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oppa…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard by the unexpected title, I turned my gaze slightly. Nearby, a young girl was waving her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sitting on what looked like her father’s shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hi, Oppa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You brat…! How can you speak so rudely to the Star King…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father panicked at the girl’s words and tried to stop her, but the child just smiled brightly, showing the carefree innocence of her age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the father and daughter I saved while passing by.They’d left an impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the moment, I smirked and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, are you listening to your dad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Keep listening to him from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never listened to mine, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were close, I reached out and gently patted the small head a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘A kid who doesn’t cry when looking at me actually exists.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, children burst into tears the moment they made eye contact with me. But this one didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed still, calmly accepting my touch, reminding me of someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like looking at a younger version of Wi Seol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Though she’s even younger than Seol-ah was back then….’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not caring much, I patted her a few more times. Then, the father addressed me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you so much, Star King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… yeah….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled awkwardly. That damn title still didn’t sit well with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it probably never would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither ‘True Dragon’ nor ‘So Yeomra’ ever did, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Thank you. If not for you, my daughter and I….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. I was just passing by.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to spread my Qi to control the chaos back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I mentioned before, it wasn’t about saving anyone. It was just cleaning up the mess I caused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that’s not it. Not only did you save us, but you even remember us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remembering isn’t that hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, I pointed at someone with my hand.It was an elderly man covered in wrinkles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That old man over there used to run an apothecary, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…? Oh, y-yes… That’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, the old man pointed at himself and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his reply, I pointed to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And over there—wasn’t that woman from the store under the merchant guild? And the man next to her worked at the Forge of Wind, right? And….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, I listed off the people I recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That elderly man over there….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-sentence, I froze. Something about the atmosphere felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What’s with those looks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were they all staring at me like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You… remembered everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces looked deeply moved.Seeing that, I started to sweat nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with these people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I remember them because I saw them, that’s all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like I memorized every detail—just picked out the ones I recalled. Was that really worth such a reaction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…As expected… the Star King…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them looked ready to say more, but I immediately waved my hand to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough already! You all seem fine, so clear the way. I need to go….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re our hope…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star King…!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, seriously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t look like this was going to end anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, I had to use a bit of internal energy to slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’m not even feeling well.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch! Clicking my tongue briefly, I was about to leap away when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make way—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make way for us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if pushed by an invisible force, the crowd began to scatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the forced opening, a group appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky-blue uniforms with white embroidery—clearly members of the Martial Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, their presence would make people step back or show admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…It’s the Alliance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re from the Martial Alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the expressions of those making way were far from welcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were resentful, others contemptuous, and only a few still seemed impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this, I tilted my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘They’re in worse shape than I thought.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I expected some distrust, but it was far more severe than anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alliance members seemed to notice, too, frowning as they shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This area is scheduled for restoration. Civilians are prohibited from entering! What are you all doing here?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, I realized it was indeed a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d rushed here, so I didn’t notice earlier—but collapsed buildings and debris were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, gathering such a large crowd around me seemed unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were there so many people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as doubt crept in, someone shouted back at the martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does the Alliance own all of Hanam?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artist frowned, as if offended by the audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But others joined in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you even do to block off the roads?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! We’ll fix the area ourselves. You won’t help anyway, so just leave us alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing them, I understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘They’re trying to restore the area themselves?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did they plan to clean up this mess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t sure, but one thing was clear—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Trust in the Alliance has plummeted.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to recent events, the people of Hanam seemed to have completely lost faith in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artist started to raise his voice in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your business here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell do you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned sharply toward me, only to fall silent when our eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly knew who I was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by your behavior, you must be looking for me, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tilting my head, I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artist cautiously stepped closer through the path cleared by the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as he approached, the crowd’s eyes bore into him with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finally stood before me, he bowed slightly and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I am Gi Mun-seok, vice-captain of the Azure Dragon Unit and one of the Seven Seats. I greet the Star King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I could sense his irritation, his formality was impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down at his bowed head, I responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gi Mun-seok snapped his head up, clearly startled by my response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were full of disbelief. Seeing that, I gave him a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m joking. Just joking. You looked so stiff that I thought I’d lighten the mood. Sorry if it offended you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…N-no….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that he was annoyed, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything and just lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him, I mulled over his name for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Gi Mun-seok, huh.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where had I heard that name before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to recall, but nothing came to mind immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your business with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Gi Mun-seok and asked. Only then did he raise his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve come to escort you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes…. We sent a prior notice, but perhaps you didn’t receive it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took out the letter from my robe and opened it again to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was written clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d informed me they would come to escort me around this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I didn’t even notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I’d known, I wouldn’t have rushed out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had been so urgent that I just rushed over. Turns out, it wasn’t necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It did feel strange.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alliance had summoned me, but asking me to show up on foot felt a bit off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Given they even gave me a title, treating me like crap would’ve fit. I thought they were trying to mess with me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed they were making some effort after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which only made it more disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘There goes one excuse to flip the table.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought about twisting the situation to start something, but unfortunately, the Alliance was incompetent—not completely reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Star King, we’ll handle the arrangements for your trip to the Alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hesitated briefly before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, there wasn’t much to think about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to go anyway, and having them escort me was more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this was better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d been wondering how to get out of here without causing a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I said I was leaving, I sensed disappointment from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no idea why they were so reluctant to let me go, but there was nothing I could do about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the reason I was heading to the Alliance was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d sent an official investigation request regarding the recent attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>******************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Azure Dragon Unit leading the way, I arrived at the Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the Alliance hadn’t changed much since my last visit, but the atmosphere felt completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attack had occurred, and they failed to respond properly. On top of that, public sentiment wasn’t great right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The property damage may have been minimal, but fundamentally, the Alliance had suffered the most damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chair slid back slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, have a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat down without hesitation at the man’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was inside the Alliance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More specifically, the same interrogation room I’d been in before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference this time was the treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might have been called an interrogation room, but there was tea and expensive-looking snacks on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even lit lamps to brighten the room, so calling it a guest reception room wouldn’t have been far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…The Commander will arrive shortly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gi Mun-seok’s words, I grabbed a piece of yakgwa and popped it into my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dragged me here early in the morning and now you’re making me wait? Funny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t like pointless power plays. This feels childish. Ah, that’s a joke too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear to anyone that it wasn’t a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gi Mun-seok swallowed dryly, looking nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought about pushing him further, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and someone entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recognized him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ilcheong Sword.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my past life, he had been Jang Seon-yeon’s right-hand man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Dragon Commander, Jang Seong-myung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good to see you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat down without saying much. Resting my chin on my hand, I spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I had another meeting earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jang Seong-myung didn’t make eye contact, focusing instead on organizing the papers in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched him quietly before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you should start with an apology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s rude not to apologize when you’re late, don’t you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled, continuing to poke at him, and saw his eyes narrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was curious about his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I apologize for keeping you waiting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jang Seong-myung didn’t take the bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I briefly considered pushing him further, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, why did you call me here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to cut to the chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stalling here wouldn’t do me any good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you read the reason stated in the summons?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I read it. It said to come in for questioning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…It’s less of an interrogation and more of a clarification—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clarification is just a fancy word for questioning. You want to confirm whether I was involved in the incident or not, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much they sugarcoated it, that was the bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days had passed since the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alliance’s first action was to summon and question anyone who had fought—be it against the assailants or the beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their excuse was to clarify the details, but anyone could see it was just interrogation based on suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bust my ass saving people, and now I get to be interrogated?
