‘It’s a good thing I have the Starlight Flower.’
The Administrator had just casually given it to me, so I didn’t think it was a big deal, but I didn’t expect it to be able to move the heavy-bottomed Saintess right away.
It was a good thing I took it, thinking I was being deceived, when the Administrator said it was precious.
‘It might be because The Blooming Spring Flower is a Constellation related to flowers.’
The Administrator said that that Constellation goes crazy for Starlight Flowers.
So I tried my luck, and it worked very well.
Hong Yuon’s voice came from over the phone.
Since it’s a matter of the Silent Calamity, which is a hot topic in Korea, there was no way for me to stop it. She should arrive by tomorrow.
“Can’t we know the content of the proposal?”
That depends on the Saintess, not me. Anyway, since she’s a global figure, it would be good to go to the airport to greet her tomorrow.
Hong Yuon quietly added.
She came because the Constellation made a proposal, so we can’t let the contractor’s mood get upset.
It meant that the contractors were the ones at a disadvantage.
It was also a warning from a senior contractor to do well if they didn’t want to be disappointed by me again.
‘I’m not that petty of a Constellation.’
Of course, if they pick a fight for no reason and act rudely, I’ll be disappointed.
Click.
The call ended.
Jiye picked up her phone from the table and went to a news portal.
[The Saintess of America, Emily Taylor, visits Korea]
[The reason for the Saintess’s visit to Korea? “The Silent Calamity”]
[The possibility of Saintess Emily Taylor’s naturalization]
“Oh my. They’re really drinking kimchi soup by the bowl.”
Articles related to Emily Taylor and the Silent Calamity were already popping up on the portal like mushrooms.
Since it was a visit from such a famous and major figure, it was obvious that keeping it under wraps would be useless.
Because even if we kept our mouths shut, it would be useless if America opened theirs.
In fact, the first article also started in the United States.
[The Saintess visits Korea. The purpose is the Constellation ‘Silent Calamity’?]
[The proposal offered by the Silent Calamity]
The Saintess, Emily Taylor, was not one to keep secrets, so the fact that she was visiting Korea because of a proposal had already spread far and wide.
Baek Jiye, who had quickly checked even the foreign portals, said to Han Sion, who looked somewhat dazed.
“Get a grip, Sion. The Calamity has no obligation to tell us everything. You know that best.”
“…I know. But.”
He rubbed the back of his neck.
“I’m just disappointed…”
“Disappointed?”
Baek Jiye’s voice sharpened.
“Is the Constellation your friend? What do you have to be disappointed about?”
“But.”
Still, I’m the first contractor.
He was sad that the Silent Calamity didn’t tell him anything.
He had always wanted to be the first to the Constellation.
‘…I know it’s greedy.’
But aren’t humans creatures of greed?
Sion looked back at Pion.
He saw a happy face eating a second piece of cake deliciously.
“Sion, you’ve been strange lately. You know best that you shouldn’t be like this to the Constellation-nim.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s not a problem that can be solved by saying sorry. Do you know you haven’t even been praying lately?”
“Huh?”
Sion was startled and searched his memory.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t prayed in the recent days since Pion had disappeared.
‘I must be crazy.’
To not pray.
There are things that even Pion wouldn’t know unless he said them.
“…I’ll do better from now on.”
“I-I’ll pray too.”
“Yes, Sanho-ssi, you should pray too.”
I thought as I chewed on a mouthful of cake.
‘Guys. I have no power.’
No matter what you wish for and do, I’ll be an incompetent Constellation for a while.
But it was a word that couldn’t be conveyed as a small, harmless jellyfish.
The next day.
Fortunately, the weather was clear.
The private jet carrying Emily Taylor had departed early and arrived at the airport in the morning, Korean time.
The inside of the airport was a sea of reporters.
‘Oh, look at all the people.’
Fortunately, we were staying in the exclusive corridor for private jet passengers because we were the guild of the Silent Calamity.
Thanks to that, we were able to avoid the flash of cameras from the reporters swarming outside and greet Emily more cleanly.
“I’m tired.”
“Bear with it.”
“Is it always this hard to greet a distinguished guest?”
“That’s because our guild leader and I didn’t have a single custom-made suit.”
To greet a distinguished guest, one’s attire is important.
A custom-made suit was a must.
But there was no way Han Sion, who had lived his whole life as a Scavenger and had only recently started handling a different scale of money, would have a custom-made suit.
Cheon Sanho, who had also scraped together everything he had and was now broke, also didn’t have a suit.
Thanks to that, we were busy getting suits made from early in the morning.
But the result was very satisfactory.
Han Sion insisted on a hairstyle where only one side of his hair was swept back, but he accepted everything else well.
As a result, he was dressed in a very luxurious outfit of a white suit with gold embroidery.
Cheon Sanho’s was a hanbok style similar to mine, but with a stronger fusion feel.
It was a navy fabric that matched his hair, with a pink plum blossom pattern.
Baek Jiye wore a black cheollik dress with a deep pink plum blossom pattern.
This was a result that reflected Cheon Sanho’s timid opinion.
All three of them looked very good.
Of course, their faces were the flowers.
‘I chose my contractors well.’
My eyes are happy, so happy.
Me?
I had clothes I had shopped for a long time ago…
From ‘that place’ where we took a sharp turn on our way to the equipment auction.
Thanks to that, even though I’m in my jellyfish form, I’m wearing a strange romance fantasy-style outfit made of white silk fabric and deep blue silk.
I even had a star ornament neatly on my head.
‘Strangely, Sion, who was so proactive last time, didn’t even touch me this time.’
Baek Jiye decorated everything.
It’s pretty, so I have no complaints.
“Do we have to come to greet the Saintess? Isn’t Hong Yuon enough?”
“She refused the association president and specifically chose us. It feels like we’re being drawn in, but what can we do.”
That’s right.
Even though we had spent a lot of money, tens of times the amount of a normal suit, to have custom-made suits made by overworking designers and clothing companies since last night.
We weren’t even supposed to greet the Saintess in the first place.
Because Sion was trying to have a pointless power struggle.
Of course, that stubbornness was broken when Hong Yuon, who had finished work, stormed into the guild leader’s office.
“Go! To! Greet! Her! The Saintess is a global figure, and you’re going to hole up in the guild because of your pride? Nate’s reputation, the Calamity’s reputation, your character, and your reputation will all go down the drain! Get up and make an appointment for tomorrow! What do you mean you don’t have a suit, Jiye, please-“
“I’m sorry. Please calm down…”
“Jiye!!!!!!”
And so, the guild leader’s dignity disappeared.
But after Hong Yuon had a fit and left, Sion finally understood.
After all, their Constellation was the one at a disadvantage.
Even if he didn’t like this situation at all.
“The Saintess has landed.”
“Sion, be dignified. Cheon Sanho-ssi, don’t stutter.”
“Okay.”
“Y-y-y-y-y-yes!”
Cheon Sanho seems to be a lost cause already.
Jiye was about to say something to me, but then she said I was cute and just turned back.
Right, if the jellyfish is cute, that’s all that matters.
Tadadadat-
Just then, the sound of urgent footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
Fluttering sparkling blond hair, it was Emily Taylor.
She ran towards us with her green eyes sparkling.
She had a translation artifact in her ear.
“Wow!”
Emily Taylor, who had positioned herself exactly in front of Sion, grabbed his hand.
“I heard that all the contractors of the Silent Calamity are exceptionally handsome, and it was true! Are you the guild leader? You look like an angel!”
I was flustered for a moment by the Saintess, Emily Taylor, who greeted us warmly before we could even introduce ourselves properly.
Sion skillfully greeted her with a business smile.
“Thank you for the compliment. I am the guild leader, Han Sion.”
“I am the vice-guild leader, Baek Jiye.”
“I am… just a guild member, Cheon Sanho.”
“Hmm! Good!”
Although Emily Taylor was also a looker, she seemed to pale in comparison to our contractors.
In any case, Emily Taylor looked really happy.
“The Silent Calamity must place a high value on aesthetics, right? My Constellation is not very interested in anyone other than me…”
“Haha…”
I wish you’d give me some attention other than aesthetics.
Han Sion swallowed those words.
His Constellation, the Silent Calamity, was a person of few words, just like her epithet.
It had been a long time since he had even heard the common ‘The Constellation, the Silent Calamity…’.
‘Well…’
Sion glanced at Pion.
‘If there’s a direct means of communication nearby, it’s understandable that she wouldn’t speak.’
“Pi?”
I don’t know what Sion has been thinking lately.
When I made a sound, Emily’s gaze immediately turned to me.
“Oh my god, you must be Pion!”
“Pi.”
And I’m also the one… Co?nstellation? who sent you the proposal.
I nodded my head as I diligently chewed on a piece of popcorn I had brought with me.
Emily’s hand reached out to me, who was on Sion’s head.
“So cute…”
Grab.
Sion snatched Emily’s hand with a nervous gesture.
“Excuse me, Saintess-nim.”
