[Witch’s leader, not a refreshing peach 🍑 but a lucky clover🍀 (lucky Sua)’s personal introduction profile]

One day, a large-scale traditional Korean house complex appeared in the middle of Gwanghwamun.
Some might ask here:
In this era of vulgar gold worship,
cultural properties discovered during construction are buried in concrete and forever forgotten.
How can a traditional Korean house complex be built on prime real estate in Gwanghwamun, which is already ridiculously expensive and packed with office buildings and hotels?
It can be done.
Because, at this point, the central headquarters of Witch Point is located in Korea.
Seoul, which doesn’t have any particularly outstanding features compared to many other cities, became the central headquarters not exactly because Siwoo put pressure on them.
‘Um… why are you establishing the central headquarters in such a mediocre city?’
‘Huh?’
‘Even if there’s a reason for the central headquarters to be located in East Asia, Tokyo would be much more suitable under the same conditions.’
‘Do you know where Shin Siwoo’s hometown is?’
‘Ah.’
It just happened because the subordinates were perceptive and did a good job.
Therefore, Sua’s position as branch manager naturally jumped to headquarters manager.
She hadn’t exactly served for authority and wealth, so her reaction was bland, but that was just her way.
She just resolved to work harder to create a better world in the future.
Even to make up for the days when she turned a blind eye to the suffering people, citing Keter’s non-interference rule.
Such a belief of Sua’s branch manager faced a crisis.
“Please, Elder Sua.”
An elderly politician, Assemblyman Kim Jun-beop, knelt and banged his forehead on the floor.
“Please become an idol to save the world!”
“…….”
The relationship between the two, which at first glance looked like a kind grandfather and granddaughter, was much older than it seemed.
To be precise, it would be more accurate to say it was passed down.
Sua, who had lived her entire life in this land, had a relationship with Assemblyman Kim’s great-grandfather, who was from a prestigious family in Andong.
She had also provided funds when his grandfather and father were fighting for independence in Shanghai for generations, and she had even attended Assemblyman Kim Jun-beop’s first birthday party.
Because of that connection, the Korean government always put Assemblyman Kim Jun-beop forward as a spokesperson when communicating with Sua.
Unlike Kim, who was always flustered and called Sua “Elder,” Sua found him cute and endearing.
How many politicians are full of selfish desires, and yet that little child grew up to be a great patriot who could give his life for his country.
What a wonderful story this is?
But even so, there are requests that cannot be granted.
“Assemblyman Kim, please don’t do this. I cannot grant that request.”
“Elder…”
To summarize Assemblyman Kim’s statement:
Since Shin Siwoo took control of Gehenna, witches and humans have begun to work together for mutual benefit.
Of course, it’s not all smooth sailing.
Witch Point not only captured witches who harmed humans, but also restricted and monitored magical research.
From Siwoo’s point of view, it was a temporary measure that could be implemented immediately, but many humans were dissatisfied with these restrictions.
From a human perspective, it would feel like having the ladder kicked out from under them.
To resolve this, Assemblyman Kim proposed a cultural content project.
The power of culture is strong.
Why does Japan boast such strong soft power?
It’s because anime and games have swept the world, to the point where Japanese is used as the Latin of the otaku world.
Why has Korea, which was once indistinguishable from North Korea, recently gained global recognition?
It’s because K-dramas, K-pop, and BuldakBokkeumMyeon have formed a large fan base around the world.
In other words, the core of the cultural content project is to form an idol group with Sua as the leader, who has high recognition and a large fan base, and to transform the dissatisfaction towards witches into admiration.
Even if it’s just for a six-month event.
“Elder, this is my last request of my life.”

Sua knew that Assemblyman Kim’s plan wasn’t entirely far-fetched.
After all, the movie ‘Witch Story,’ starring Shin Siwoo and the Lucky Witch, was a huge hit even in countries that were hostile to witches.
And since cute Assemblyman Kim was even doing a grand bow while asking, it was hard to refuse outright.
“…And that’s how it happened. Don’t laugh!”
“Sorry.”
Eloa doesn’t laugh at her friend’s misfortune.
That’s her nature and personality.
But when she thought of the elegant Branch Manager Sua dancing the Tturu Tturu dance on stage, she couldn’t hide the twitching corners of her mouth.
No, honestly, she really wanted to see it.
“Ahem, so… you’re preparing for three months and performing for six months? That’s great, I’d like to see it too.”
“Lord Eloa…! Haa….”
Eloa, who is happy every day watching the rapidly growing Lapi, said with a more mischievous smile than usual.
Sua, who was showing a flustered look for the first time in her life, quickly calmed down.
“It can’t be helped. It’s a path for the peace of everyone.”
“Huh?”
Eloa felt a chill at the too-easy acceptance.
Sua’s pupils, which had been empty, were staring intently at Eloa.
“If it’s for the greater good, you will also cooperate, won’t you?”
“Of course… but, cooperate? Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Then, I will recruit Lord Eloa as the second member.”
“S, Sua! What are you talking about?”
Eloa finally realized the identity of the ominous feeling.
Come to think of it, except for the fact that Sua was the leader, she hadn’t heard any news about the other members.
“Didn’t you know? I have been given all authority regarding the member composition.”
“Sua, I have Lapi. What kind of idol is a married woman?”
“Hehe, that’s what I’m saying.”
Sua, who was laughing like she was broken, activated the Witch’s leader’s power 『Member Recruitment』.
“No, no!”

The third member recruitment was surprisingly easy.
“Hmm, an idol. I am also interested.”
Lurienne said after hearing the news that Eloa was planning to debut as a temporary idol.
“Didn’t the youngest one film a movie before? What can’t I do?”
“What kind of idol are you?”
“We’d be a better fit.”
The twins, who were now counts, tackled her, but she didn’t budge.
Isn’t that how Lurienne is?
“Isn’t an idol, or an icon, someone who receives the adoration and admiration of all people? There is no position more suitable for me, the Queen of the Sea.”
“Is that so? Then please sign this document quickly.”
It was a very happy thing for Eloa, who couldn’t bear the embarrassment alone.
Amelia also showed reluctance, Sharon also shook her hands and refused, Kybele didn’t fit the atmosphere in the first place, and she couldn’t even bring it up to Linne.
But Lurienne took the initiative, which made her feel really reassured.
“But how will you decide on the fourth member?”
“It’s still undecided…”
“Why don’t you do it if you’re interested?”
“Ugh, we want to, but we can’t.”
“Do you think we’re as free as you are? We’re busy after inheriting the title.”
“Hmm, then I will try to persuade Dorothy.”
Dorothy readily accepted the fourth member proposal.
Thus, the third member Lurienne and….
Hello, I’m Witch’s third member, Lurienne, the Queen of the Sea! 🌊👑
