Chapter 178



The National Competition’s second day .

After the target processing, the siege and treasure hunt were held in succession . Nothing strange happened . Youngwoo didn’t play a further role in the South Korean team . He didn’t participate in the siege or treasure hunt, so South Korea was naturally one of the weakest out of the 17 countries participating .

But honestly, it was surprising . Yura participated in the siege . Youngwoo hoped that South Korea would get a good record in the siege, but the result was disastrous .

“I’m sorry . ”

The Korean team’s waiting room . The Korean players apologized to Yura after coming back from the game . They were embarrassed by their inability to help the team . A few young teenagers on the team had tears in their eyes . Everyone felt frustrated and humiliated after being defeated by the foreign players in the game .

But what could they do? This was reality . The rankers of the Korean team were in the 800~1000s, while the rankers of other teams were in the top 200 . The power gap was too great . Yura alone was unable to cover this difference .

“We held onto Yura’s ankle . ”

“I…! If only I was a little bit stronger…!”

The players couldn’t lift their heads .

Yura encouraged them, “You don’t have to blame yourself . You did your best, as people have witnessed . None of you are to blame . ”

The beautiful and kind Yura seemed like an angel to the players . Youngwoo looked at her smile and felt furious .

‘Those Yankee scum . ’

The US were angry after receiving a silver medal in the target processing because of Youngwoo . As if they wanted to pay back their grudge, they persistently attacked the Korean castle at the start of the siege .

South Korea had a weak overall power and couldn’t endure the American offensive . Yura struggled, but the other players couldn’t properly assist her . The walls quickly fell apart and the Korean players were logged out .

It was okay up to here . The world of war was heartless . It was natural for the strong to defeat others .

But an American player showed excessive behavior . It was someone with the ID of ‘Primal . ’ He survived towards the end of Yura’s resistance and tore the Korean flag that had been flying from the castle . Ripping the official flag of another country?

It was terrible . The backlash generated was very large . Even his fellow Americans refused to forgive the actions of Primal . Zibal apologized as the US representative, but that couldn’t stop the criticism of public opinion . In the end, Primal was asked to take responsibility and was deprived of his qualifications . He was unable to participate in the National Competition anymore .

But the anger of the Koreans had already reached the extreme . Primal was a problem, but there were also some American players who laughed while watching Primal’s behavior . A small number of Koreans hated the entire US team .

Youngwoo was the same . He had served in the army and was a reservist, so seeing the flag being ripped was a great shock to him .

“That shitty guy . ”

That Primal, if Youngwoo met him someday in Satisfy, then he would make Primal pay . The US team? He would pay back the disgrace and despair felt by the Korean team in today’s siege .

He gritted his teeth while pledging, and then Yura approached him .

“That’s it for today’s schedule . I will go back now . ”

“You, are you okay?”

Yura fought harder than anyone else . But there was a limit to what she could do alone, and she eventually lost . She should be the most disappointed .

Yura laughed at Youngwoo’s anxious question . “It would be a lie if I say that I’m okay . But I’m not frustrated . I will grow even more from today’s defeat . ”



Yura was already looking ahead . Next year and the year after that, she would make sure there was a different result in the National Competition . She made a pledge .

‘She truly is the 5th ranked user . ’

Youngwoo was amazed . There was a group waiting for the two people as they left the waiting room . They were Jishuka, Regas and Pon .

“Please show us around Korea . ”

The three people’s eyes shone like lanterns . They were full of excitement to have Youngwoo accompany them .

“Please guide me to a Taekwondo theme park . ”

“No, what nonsense are you saying? Of course, we should visit a place with a lot of beauties . Let’s go to the hottest club . ”

“Please play among yourselves . I’ll just enjoy my time with Grid alone . ”

“…”

Youngwoo was troubled . He had no friends and no experience with dating . Therefore, he didn’t know any good places to recommend to foreigners visiting South Korea for the first time . He finally made a decision .

“Let’s eat a meal first . ”

“I agree!”

“I will contact a restaurant . ” Yura naturally intruded . Youngwoo, Jishuka and the rest of the group rode her limousine to the restaurant she recommended .

“Why is this woman going with us?”

Youngwoo didn’t want to lose his mind to Jishuka, so he thought it was better for Yura to join them .

“An interpreter is required . ”

“…”

That’s right . Youngwoo didn’t speak English, so he couldn’t communicate with Jishuka . If he didn’t get any help from Yura, who was fluent in eight languages, he wouldn’t be able to communicate properly .

“An interpreting device is inconvenient . Isn’t it also good to build up a relationship with Yura?”

“Don’t forget that the Yatan Church is our main enemy . ”

“It will be easier to deal with the Yatan Church if she cooperates . Think positively . ”

“Hrmm…”

Yura was able to join the party with Youngwoo’s continued persuasion . Then she made a series of incorrect translations at the table .

“Grid, do you know? The reason I participated in this National Competition was because I wanted to see you . ”

“Jishuka said that she joined the National Competition for the honor of her country . ”

“South Korea seems better to live in than Brazil . I would love to live here . ”

“Jishuka said that she doesn’t like South Korea . She doesn’t want to come back here . ”



“…Hey, this wily girl . You are properly interpreting what I’m saying, right?”

“It is hard to translate the whines of a pig . ”

“Damn Yatan servant…!”

“…”

Youngwoo was sitting between Jishuka and Yura in the restaurant . Then the two people suddenly started arguing in English . He tried to get help from Regas and Pon, who always helped him in Satisfy but…

“Delicious!” Regas was busy tasting all the Korean dishes on the table .

“Why don’t you take off your apron and embrace me?” Pon was awkwardly hitting on the employees in English .

“…Are these really the people I know?”

Youngwoo felt a sense of distance from Regas and Pon . Both seemed so different from Satisfy that he felt confused . The chaos grew over time .

“G~r~i~d!”

“Youngwoo . ”

Yura and Jishuka became drunk while they were arguing . It was a tremendous burden for Youngwoo to take care of two drunk girls alone . He wanted to ask Pon and Regas for help, but Pon had left with a woman, while Regas found a Taekwondo dojo and challenged the owner to a spar .

Buzz buzz .

“Wow, amazing . Isn’t that Jishuka and Yura?”

“Oh my, look! Grid! Grid!”

“Wow… What are the three of them doing?”

The people on the street gathered around Youngwoo . They took lots of photos .

‘Ah, this, really…’

Jishuka and Yura were drunk and sticking like gum to Youngwoo . If this continued, there might be a misunderstanding and Youngwoo might be dragged to the police station . This was his first experience with drunk girls, so Youngwoo imagined the worst . Then he hurriedly caught a passing taxi .

“Where do you want to go?”

Youngwoo spoke flatly to the driver . “My house . ”

“…The address . ”

Youngwoo left in the taxi with the two women . This action caused all types of misunderstandings .

A few minutes later .

The reports from the witnesses caused speculative stories to be written on the Internet .

[(Photo News) The drunk Yura and Jishuka took a taxi with Grid . ]

[According to witness statements, Yura and Jishuka were on the verge of fainting . ]

[What is the destination of the three people?]

[(Scene Coverage) I am currently at OO Hotel where Jishuka is staying . It is almost dawn and she hasn’t returned yet . ]

[What is Grid doing now?]

“Oh my, who are these girls?”

Youngwoo’s parents had been watching his son’s appearance on TV all day . They were pleasantly surprised when Youngwoo brought young women home . Their son, who never brought friends home, now brought two beauties at once?

“Hum hum . ”

Youngwoo’s father felt embarrassed and went into his room after clearing his throat . Then his mother paid serious attention to Youngwoo, “Son, are you prepared for this? I don’t think South Korea is open enough to welcome two daughter-in-laws at once . ”

Youngwoo’s face flushed with embarrassment .

“No, Mother’s words are true . But isn’t this a misunderstanding? If I was going to do that, would I have brought them home? Wouldn’t I go to another place?”

“Hohoho, yes, yes . I’ll bring a blanket so lay them down in your room . Youngwoo, you sleep in the living room today . ”

Youngwoo’s mother entered her room to get a quilt . In the meantime, Youngwoo was taking off his shoes and he looked up Yura and Jishuka’s skirts . It wasn’t intended, but instinctive behavior .

“The low~est . ”

“…”

Sehee came out of her room at that time and looked at him with contempt . Youngwoo felt like crying as he lost his dignity in front of his sister .



***

The National Competition’s third day .

The production events were held . The crowd cheered as production rankers in various fields such as blacksmiths, tailors and alchemists appeared .

“Eh?”

“There’s no Grid?”

The crowd checked their faces and started to sulk . Grid was a legendary blacksmith, so they naturally thought he would participate in the production events . They were excited at the thought of possibly seeing a legendary item be created .

But Grid didn’t attend .

“Is he forfeiting because of last night’s scandal?”

“Thanks to that, the other blacksmiths have a chance . ”

“By now, Grid must be with Jishuka and Yura…”

“Ah! My desire for murder is boiling!”

It was rife with all types of speculations . But Youngwoo didn’t avoid the production events because he was conscious of people’s eyes . It wasn’t because of Yura and Jishuka . It was because a person was limited to participating in three events .

Youngwoo wanted to participate in events that would have a huge dominance on the National Competition . These were the events:

“PvP and pet marathon . ”

The two events held on the fifth day weren’t a team event, but a solo exhibition . Hopefully, one country could win six medals . Experts speculated that the US would earn a large number of medals on that day and consolidate their first place ranking .

Youngwoo wouldn’t allow it .

“Don’t celebrate too early . ”

He would hit them properly . Youngwoo decided and got up from his seat . Then he opened his door as usual to play Satisfy and was shocked . He witnessed the appearance of Yura and Jishuka sleeping next to each other on his bed .

“Pfft!!”

Youngwoo had a nosebleed at the sight of the two beauties . They came back late last night . He didn’t know what to do, but then Yura and Jishuka woke up .

After that .

Youngwoo’s house was crowded . Yura and Jishuka were very friendly after meeting Youngwoo’s parents .

“Let me help you prepare the meal, Mother . ”

“Oh my, thank you . Huh…? Why are you washing eggs and rice with detergent?”

“Father~ I’ll give you a massage . ”

“Oh my, thank you . Thanks to my son… Heok! M-My back…!”

Yura was polite and Jishuka was bright . Both of them had a problem of being too enthusiastic, but they appealed to Youngwoo parents’ affection well enough .

“…”

Youngwoo felt like he was sitting on a thorn cushion . It was because Sehee kept on shooting glares at him .

“Sightseeing? Ah, yes . We haven’t gone anywhere for a long time, so let’s make it a family trip . ”

“So, how great is our Youngwoo? He’s a hero on TV, a hero in a game I don’t know about ~ I don’t know . ”

Two days passed .

It was the 5th and final day of the National Competition . The PvP was scheduled to be in the morning and the pet marathon in the afternoon .

“Let’s go . ”

“Okay . ”

“Yes!”

Yura and Jishuka had stayed at Youngwoo’s house for two days . Youngwoo arrived at the stadium to enthusiastic cheers and curses .
