Chapter 441 – Episode 441: Network 1
Forming a gathering of constellations was really not that big of a deal, but it had an unexpected impact. To a certain extent, a high-ranking person from the Academy who I had seen often in the past came to show his face.
As usual, after seeing off the Avatars in the morning, I was laying down in my dorm fiddling with my cell phone when, with a polite knock, the beastman guards came outside to tell me that there was a visitor. Thinking that no one would come, I opened the door out of curiosity and saw a familiar face.
“H-Hello, Constellation?”
“Uh, what is it?”
The academy has been breached again~ The director, a man with a blank forehead who came to hang his head every time, was standing in front of the door. He was one of those people who were always crowded around, but today he was alone.
Still, he is a person who has become a director of the Academy, so if something happens, he will send his subordinates, and he is not the kind of person who will come to visit him personally, so he looks at me wondering what is going on, and his head naturally bows. They looked at me with suspicion, wondering if they had something to apologize to me again, and only then did I get to the point.
“Well, I heard that the Holy See is creating a social group…”
“Um, so?”
“I came to say hello to see if there was anything our academy could help you with.”
The naturally bowed waist, the head that falls down, and even the palms that are gently rubbed. As the director of the Academy, he is an amazing person in many ways, as he specializes in serving high-ranking people. No, since the Holy Sees are very interested in the Academy, I might have gotten a seat on the Board of Directors with that ability… ?
As I kept silent, thinking that it might be a little rude, the speed of rubbing my palms gradually increased.
“No, I’m not making it right now in the first place, I’m just trying to get to know you in moderation, so I won’t be able to help you, right?”
“Oh, is that so? Then, if you need anything or need to run the academy, please feel free to ask.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Yes, please.”
As I pushed the figure away, I saw that he had his head down and looked like an office worker standing in front of his boss, which made me feel a bit sad. It seems that various incidents related to me have occurred at the academy, so I have become extremely polite.
The position of director of the Academy, where you would feel a real threat of assassination if you saw the behavior of the citizens of the Northern Continent. Could it be that he, who repeatedly bowed his head as if making a request, was the starting point?
“Hello, Constellation!”
“Constellation! What kind of organization are you creating?!”
“Wow! Constellation!”
Avatars rushing towards each other as if they had seen some kind of idol. I was bored after fiddling with my phone, so I came out to watch the duel, and the Avatars came rushing in.
The calm guys who usually just watch from a distance rush in as if they are surrounding the area. They didn’t dare try to touch me, but I felt a strange sense of power as dozens of women in half-naked clothes flocked in for a sparring match.
“Oh, it’s no big deal. It was just a conversation between constellations that we know. I don’t plan on making anything grand.”
I don’t understand where the rumor spreads like this.
※
To be honest, I felt that we underestimated our incarnations too much these days.
“Have you already done all this?”
“Hey, Constellation. I don’t have anything to research right now.”
After talking to the Avatars about the ‘constellation meeting’ last night, the Academy’s director came to visit in the morning. I was wondering what was going on, but it seems that Lee Ha-rin, who had been organizing the data since early morning, had already spread related information on the Internet.
In the cyber world where strange otakus who are constellation data enthusiasts gather, my story, which is hot at the Academy, was revealed by the person in question, so it is natural that firepower is focused on it at dawn and all.
“Oh, would it have been a nuisance?”
“No, well, it would be nice if you could handle the paperwork for me. But why the hair?”
“Since I have short hair, I found it easier to keep it short. So I cut it and fried it.”
Lee Ha-rin, who kept his hair short while working out, gradually grew his hair out while receiving the magical power of a dream. However, when he studied or did his research, his long hair seemed to be a bit bothersome, so he cut it off again and returned to short hair.
He’s by my side, and he seems to be a little interested in decorating, so he doesn’t have straight hair, but rather waves, as if he’s had a perm. There may be accurate beauty terms, but I don’t even know the names of men’s hairstyles, so how would I know the terms for women’s hairstyles?
She’s looking at her hair like that, and she’s taking off her clothes next to me
She must have felt uncomfortable and stuffy, so she quickly took off her bra and pants at the same time. Rather than being sexy, she looked like a student returning home alone. Of course, the result of taking it off was sexy enough. Even though she is wearing a coat and shirt, enough skin is revealed, and her body is properly highlighted.
“What about those earrings?”
“Uh, what was it… They said it was a magic tool sent by the Yeji security unit. To be honest, it’s a bit awkward for a woman to wear her jewelry, but since it’s witchcraft, it can’t be helped.”
“Really? It’s nice to see her because she seems to fit in well.”
“Is that so? I guess men think it’s good for women to dress up too.”
A pure white shirt and a black coat with no wrinkles. It was not an outfit that Lee Ha-rin would wear while stuck in her lab scratching her head. As if she thought so, she quickly took off her clothes and changed into her comfortable inner clothes, moving around in her panties.
A white cotton tee and short elastic shorts. Her body is still visible, but I have to say that she feels a little disappointed because the image she just saw remains in her mind. Just as she had done with Han Ye-ji when she was having fun, she would only dress Ha-rin in a shirt next time – such thoughts filled her mind.
“I’m back, hmm? Didn’t I say I had work today?”
“Ah, I’m back, Constellation!”
While I was contemplating whether to take off my clothes or put on a shirt, the Avatars returned in order. I wouldn’t know if it was just the two of us, but in real life, I’ve never attacked anyone when we were all together like this, so I quenched my appetite with regret and made a promise to the next time.
In the evening, the Avatars gathered around. We had decided that we would all head to the restaurant together instead of having dinner at the hotel tonight, so we all put on simple clothes like sweats and headed to the restaurant together.
Sure enough, as our group passed by, the Avatars gathered again. They couldn’t dare to cling to me as a constellation, but they could cling to our famous incarnations.
“Sister! Are there any incarnations that unite?”
“Are the duel members also included?”
Even if they cling to each other, they just stick close to you and talk, and they don’t physically stick together or block your path. The main targets are Song Yena and Alexandra, who have many Hwashins who became close friends in the duel arena. It seems like Han Ye-ji, who stands guard with a gun, and Lee Ha-rin, who are locked in her lab, don’t seem to have a very close relationship with each other.
Of course, as if that were just my short-term thoughts, the further we head to the restaurant, the more the number of incarnations increases. Researchers on leave approach Lee Ha-rin and Kim Ha-eun, and people in security uniforms pass by to change shifts and come to Han Ye-ji. There is no such commotion.
When they arrived in front of the restaurant, they naturally scattered in all directions, but I don’t know how many questions I heard while on the way from the dormitory to the duel arena and playground to the restaurant.
“Is this going to cause such a fuss?”
“It’s my job. It’s because Lee Ha-rin just doesn’t have a dick, so I fucked her.”
“Really?”
I felt like they were making too much of a fuss, but Han Ye-ji nodded as if this was natural. And as if she sympathized with what she said, the other incarnations frowned slightly and glared at Lee Ha-rin. I guess Lee Ha-rin’s otaku temperament added to her early-morning sensibility and led to some kind of trolling… I’m not sure if it’s a unique sensibility in this world where constellations and incarnations exist.
As she sees me rolling her eyes as if she had no idea, Yeji flops down at her table and while choosing food, she sneaks up next to me.
“Hmm, Constellation? You may not know this, but the Constellations whose names have spread across the continent are no different from walking companies.”
“A walking company?”
“Yes, not in a metaphorical sense, but a real company. Why is there a legal representative for the constellations? If you look at the constellation alone, it is an extra-legal entity. … Oh, please bring me some of that shrimp fried rice.”
Yeji, who casually asks Alexandra a favor as she goes to get her food, takes out her cell phone from her pocket and shows her a news article. I don’t know why, but my constellation name on the entertainment industry news page seems unfamiliar. Helpless Nightmare plans to host a social gathering for the Constellations after entering the Academy, and the economic fallout from this will be-
Why is the economic fallout popping up here?
“That’s because the Unfading Giant Tree is the one in charge of the agricultural region of the eastern continent. The Guardian of the Deep still has only one incarnation, but the loyal Fang’s messengers are spread across various fields.”
Yeji Han continues her explanation, citing various news articles.
So, should I say that it feels like a merger or acquisition between large corporations without any warning signs? Since Hwashin is treated as a kind of idol or celebrity, does it feel like the entertainment industry has merged with each other? If I woke up and found out that YG and SM had merged into one company, the news section would be in an uproar.
