Chapter 452 - Aernor Delegation (2)
“Kang-Woo! I brought the clothes you’ll be wearing today!” Echidna shouted from outside Oh Kang-Wo’s room.
“Okay,” Kang-Woo answered shortly.
The door swung open and entered a neatly dressed Echidna. It was rare to see her in such clothes, but her appearance made the clothes look more like a school uniform than formal attire.
“Who gave you those clothes?” Kang-Woo asked.
“Lilith did! She got you this too!” Echidna said as she handed Kang-Woo a clean set of formal attire.
Kang-Woo accepted the clothes. They looked extremely luxurious from just a glance.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve worn a suit.’
He did not like wearing uncomfortable clothes to move around in, but he had no choice today.
‘Since today’s the day that Aernor’s delegation arrives.’
Dressing neatly for the occasion to welcome them was a formality. Kang-Woo slightly lifted his t-shirt to change.
“Hm! Hm!”
“...”
“Hm! Hmmmm!”
“Umm... Could you give me some privacy?”
“It’s my duty to watch over your growth, Kang-Woo!”
“Oh, I see.”
“Kang-Woo! What color are your panties today?!”
“Slushy.”
Kang-Woo raised his right hand without answering Echidna.
“Grrk!”
Slushy bounced out from the Key of the Demonic Sea and stuck to Echidna’s face.
“Kyah!”
Echidna struggled to get Slushy off of her face. Meanwhile, Kang-Woo changed into the suit that Echidna got for him and stood in front of the mirror.
‘Mm. Not bad.’
Kang-Woo smiled as he stared at himself in the mirror. People tended to see their reflection in the mirror as more handsome than they actually were.
“Puhah!”
“Grrk!”
Echidna managed to get Slushy off of her face and threw it aside, Slushy rolling across the ground. Kang-Woo smiled and walked toward Echidna.
He asked as he fixed his clothes, “How do I look?”
“Mm...” Echidna narrowed her eyes and scanned Kang-Woo from top to bottom. “You look like a character from an anime.”
“What? What anime?”
“You know, uhhh... You look like you’ll say something like “You’re slow... Even when you fall”[1] !”
“...”
The line sounded like something that would add a new page to his collection of dark pasts.
“Anyway.” Kang-Woo shrugged and turned around. “What time were we supposed to meet Si-Hun again?”
“Mm. We have about an hour left!”
“Really?”
There was still time to spare. Kang-Woo sat down on a chair and Echidna trotted behind him.
“Hm! Kang-Woo! Lemme style your hair,” she said as she poured some hair wax on her hands.
Kang-Woo smirked and nodded. Echidna began to run her fingers along Kang-Woo’s hair quite delicately.
‘Now, then.’
He had plenty of time, so he opened his status window and took a look at where his Twelfth Awakening Trait was written.
[Twelfth Awakening Trait: ‘Ruler of the Demonic Sea (Rank: EX)’]
[Effect 1: The Player can maintain their sanity for longer with the Doors open.]
[Effect 2: ????????????????????????????]
‘An EX-rank Trait.’
Kang-Woo had never seen such a rank.
A wave formed on the giant Gate that was several kilometers tall. The voices of news reporters filled the scene.
“Everyone! A historical moment is about to take place! The delegation from Aernor is about to arrive on Earth! Countless Gates have formed since the Day of Calamity, but this is the first time that we will be interacting with other humans with as much intelligence as us!”
“What will the people from the other world look like? Will we be able to form an amicable relationship with them?”
“According to the First Lady Grace McCubbin, Guardians have already formed a bond of trust with...”
Voices sounded out from all over as the entire world focused on the Gate.
Whoooom!
The wave on the Gate grew stronger.
‘Right, then.’
Kang-Woo stared at the Gate in anticipation.
Step, step.
Clear sounds of footsteps echoed from the Gate. They sounded like the marching of trained soldiers.
‘Did she bring the imperial army as the delegation?’
Kang-Woo couldn’t help but think so. He stared at the Gate with a slight frown.
‘An army isn’t good.’
Seeing armed soldiers would only raise the people of Earth’s wariness of those from Aernor.
‘But asking them not to be armed is a bit much too.’
No matter how much Iris trusted Kang-Woo, coming to another world without having any means to protect oneself was asking for too much.
‘This is more than within my limits of approval.’ Kang-Woo nodded. ‘Now, it’ll all go smoothly once the first impression is good.’
An alliance between Earth and Aernor was about to be formed.
“Everyone! The delegation of Aernor is coming out of...” a news reporter slurred their words after seeing the delegation.
“The hell?” Kang-Woo was left with his mouth agape after seeing the delegation walking out of the Gate.
The delegation of Aernor consisted of thousands of people and were all wearing white clerical robes covering their entire bodies with a beautiful golden emblem on them. Kang-Woo was familiar with the emblem.
“Wha— Why is...”
‘Why is the Church of Splendor here?’
[Greetings, people of Earth,] said a blonde woman standing at the front. Her words translated by magic filled the surroundings via a voice amplification device. [My name is Iris von Arnan, the princess of the Arnan Empire.]
Iris took off her white hood, revealing her beautiful face with her golden hair fluttering in the wind.
[I have come to Earth to deliver the words of light to you all.]
“... Hey.”
[Everyone, do you believe in the light?]
“Wait a second.”
[Are you aware of the God of Splendor?]
“What are you doing?”
Kang-Woo’s mouth was left agape.
‘In the place where Earth would meet the people of Aernor for the very first time... where their first impression would decide everything...’
“What the fuck do you think you’re d—”
Before Kang-Woo had a chance to finish his sentence, Iris shouted, [People of Earth! Let us all put our faith in the God of Splendor! We must all believe in the God of Splendor! We must all follow his words!]
“No.”
[Let us all praise him!]
“Stop.”
[Ohmen! Ohmen! Ohmen!!! O light!!][2]
“Please fucking stop.”
{Ohmeeeeeeeeeen!!]
Kang-Woo looked around in silence.
Everyone’s mouths were left agape in shock due to the appearance of a group of cultists. Kang-Woo lowered his head with his hair clenched.
“Motherfucker.”
‘Why does this shit always happen to me?’
