Welcome to LA!!

Chapter 91 • 1,550 words • 13 min read

After a week spent arduously going through a dress-up course where only Yujin was excited and trying on various outfits.
Yeon Taeseon and I stood at the airport.
In front of us was a very sulky Sion.
“Hunter Yeon Taeseon.”
“What is it.”
“You must be happy?”
Yeon Taeseon, with a very arrogant smile, said to the very crookedly speaking Sion.
“If you’re so resentful, you should have gotten a ticket.”
Jiye, who had been dragged along to see us off, turned her head and pretended not to know.
Sion, after glaring at that sight, soon sighed deeply.
Then he gave a warning to me, who was wearing a monster-exclusive dress on Yeon Taeseon’s head.
“You mustn’t follow strangers.”
“Pi?”
“Don’t make anyone a contractor just because they’re handsome.”
“Pikku…?”
“Your first will always be my place…”
“Guild Leader, that’s pathetic, so stop.”
At Jiye’s interruption, Sion shut his mouth.
The nagging, which in my experience would have lasted for about 30 minutes, was cut off in 1 minute.
Sion said his farewells with a resentful face.
“…Have a safe trip.”
“Pukkukuk.”
We waved our hands, or in my case, my tentacles, and finished the airport departure procedures.
Although we weren’t going to take a plane and would just teleport to the other side of the globe, we stopped by the airport because we had to go through immigration.
For the record, the reason I’m in my jellyfish form is…
At least before going to the auction house, this form draws less attention.
‘I know I’m pretty too…’
It’s not a boast, but an opinion from an objective point of view.
And Yeon Taeseon is also very handsome.
To the point where you could call him otherworldly.
In reality, if I were with the otherworldly me, all sorts of gazes would be drawn, and I didn’t want to receive such gazes already.
Since various reporters from all over the world are flocking to take pictures of the hunters who are entering and leaving the country from this time…
Hmm.
It was annoying.
Not scary, but annoying.
This was a huge development for me.
“The screening is over. You can use your magic now.”
“Pikkuuk.”
Since the immigration procedures are important, I’ll go to the destination airport, but I’ll only reveal my human form at the auction house.
With that resolve, I set the coordinates and activated the magic.
Our forms instantly turned into light and disappeared.
Although there were no particularly fancy effects, Jiye alone had an ecstatic expression.
“To fly from Korea to LA in an instant, what a beautiful magic…”
“Vice-Guild Leader Baek Jiye, let’s have a talk.”
A cold voice cut off Jiye’s admiration.
Jiye, who had turned like a broken machine, saw Sion with a frosty expression.
“Was it that hard to get one more ticket?”
Of course, it was hard.
Very hard.
It was a miracle that she had gotten two.
“…Guild Leader. Don’t you believe me?”
“No.”
But Sion, who was blinded by jealousy, did not consider Jiye’s unfair feelings.


LA Airport.
In the specially prepared VIP lounge, staff for special immigration screening were standing.
This was because they had said they would not be coming on a private jet from Korea, but would be going directly to LA with spatial movement magic.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
One of the staff members sneered.
“Well, they say a Constellation came out from there, but it’s just a small country, right? How strong can a Constellation be?”
“Watch your mouth, Thomas. A Constellation is still a Constellation.”
“That’s right. It’s an appearance that will mark a new era in history. But at best, isn’t it just at the level of an S-rank hunter?”
The staff member, Thomas, was an A-rank Awakener.
Since he was a non-combatant, he hadn’t received a hunter’s license, but he had great confidence in his grade and was not afraid of anything.
Also, he was a terrible chauvinist.
That didn’t change even if the target was a Constellation.
Meaning, he was making the mistake of thinking that Korea’s top-tier Constellation was the same as America’s lowest-tier Constellation.
“So to have people who are already busy waiting here to give a welcoming greeting is…”
“…”
“Anyway, the spatial movement is a lie, and they’ll probably only be able to do a short-range teleport…”
Even his colleagues were frowning at his excessive disparagement.
It was then.
A bright light rose from the spot that had been cleared for spatial movement, and not long after, it formed a human figure.
The Asian man who appeared was a handsome man with a chiseled appearance, as if sculpted by a god.
Everyone was speechless for a moment at his appearance.
But he was alone.
‘The Constellation?’
A Constellation was supposed to come, so various guilds and research institutions had sent people to give a warm welcome, but the Constellation, who was said to be a beautiful woman, was nowhere to be seen.
There was a strange creature that looked like a jellyfish on the man’s head, but since it looked like a pet monster, no one paid much attention.
Everyone’s gazes were quickly exchanged.
‘What is it?’
‘Isn’t the report wrong?’
‘Well, what do you expect from a small country.’
In the end, one person who couldn’t stand the question stepped forward and spoke to the man.
“Um, excuse me.”
“What is it?”
“Didn’t the Constellation come with you…”

Pambarabam!

In an instant, a loud fanfare that was deafeningly loud was heard.

All the Awakeners in the lounge were startled and staggered.
Because it was a sound that had a great influence of the Constellations, enough to affect the minds of the Awakeners.
Even a high-grade Awakener would feel a slight dizziness.
“Huh?”
“Wh-what?”
“Ugh?”
The sound didn’t stop there.
As if adding an artificial sound effect, the sound of applause was heard, whistles were heard, and a chaotic sound effect continued.
Like the celebration of people who are not used to welcoming someone.
And soon, numerous alerts popped up.

[The Constellation, ‘The Knight of Four Hooves’, pays his respects.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Thousand Thunders’, welcomes you with a thunderbolt from a clear sky.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Fairy of the Ash Tree’, holds out a bouquet of flowers.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Eternal Hammering’, offers a bribe.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Eternal Hammering’, corrects that it is not a bribe, but a gift.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Greatest Jealousy’, acknowledges you.]
[The Constellation, ‘The Back-to-Back Bowstring’, …]
[…]
Flutter.
Something came down from the sky.
“This is…”
“Flowers?”
In the middle of a modern airport where there were no flowers, let alone weeds, flower petals were fluttering out of nowhere in the VIP lounge.
And that only around the Asian man.
At the rare sight, people forgot their welcoming greetings and opened their mouths.
Among them, the A-rank or higher Awakeners and some researchers realized what this phenomenon was.
‘It’s a localized stigma…!’
Even if it was just scattering a few flowers, this was definitely a stigma.
Because the influence of the Constellation was that strong.
Soon, a thunderous sound was heard, and a simultaneous alert rang out to all the Awakeners in the LA area.

[Welcome, the Constellation, ‘The Silent Calamity’!]
It was a grand welcome.
At the same time, the lowly human who had sneered at him fainted from a divine punishment.
The Constellations, who couldn’t stand seeing the humans ignore him, had not only welcomed the Constellation of that small country, but had treated him as more than a state guest, if you were to compare it to humans.
Later, the person in question, ‘The Silent Calamity’, Lee Seonbaek, commented.
That they were no different from a salesperson trying to look good to a powerful person.

This was a sincerity and welcome that was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
I, with a rather stupid jellyfish expression, cleared the system windows that were floating before my eyes one by one.
The system windows, which kept popping up no matter how much I cleared them, showed that not only LA, but all the Constellations in the vicinity were clamoring to welcome me.
It wasn’t just the system windows that were in an uproar.
The messages, which required paying coins to send, were also piling up through the system at a rate of 10 per second.
They were all welcome messages, and I ignored them all.
In the meantime, I slyly accepted the gift sent by ‘The Eternal Hammering’, Hephaestus.
He seemed to like it.
But I couldn’t smile.
‘This is too much, you guys!’
I knew that this was a message that had spread throughout LA.
Is this an easy thing to do?
The amount of coins that goes into this is enormous.
But these crazy LA Constellations had gathered those coins and thrown a grand welcoming party to welcome me…!
And even with a localized stigma!
And that for a show!
‘It-it’s too much.’
I went ‘kek’ and collapsed on Yeon Taeseon’s head.
It’s too much.

“I also put in some effort because they kept asking me to.”
When I go up to the starry sky next time, I will hit the Administrator.
About three times.

“Calamity, you have to get used to it, though.”
The Administrator said in a feigned gentle voice.

“Because the dignity of a top-tier Constellation doesn’t end here.”
