“Thank you so much for your time!”

After the interview, Lee Soo-ah thanked Hoya.

It was a sincere thank you, not empty words.

He wasn’t able to get all of his questions answered from him, but these alone were a big enough harvest.

The only thing she could get an answer from Hoya was about ‘story in the game’.

Of course, character information such as titles and skills was excluded.

It was obvious she wouldn’t get an answer, and she didn’t even want to ask a question, so she didn’t bring her up in the first place.

Asking those kinds of questions was something that only reporters would do for a day or two.

She was able to answer almost all of her questions other than those questions.

Hoya was very cooperative throughout the interview.

I also got the feeling that this person is a gentle person, to the point that I wondered if it was the owner of the videos that showed such tremendous movement and power.

But there was one thing he never opened his mouth to.

It’s just his appearance in reality.

When I asked what country he was from, he seemed to hesitate a bit, so Soo-ah Lee naturally changed the topic and moved on to the next question.

Pushing a sensitive question from his point of view was also a bad choice for the future.

It’s a bond as thin as a spider’s web, but it was good for the future to connect it well.

So, after she asked about her nationality, which she did not get an answer for, she did not bring up any stories related to reality.

She said, “I will let you know as soon as the date and time of the interview will be aired. So…”

Lee Soo-ah thinks she’s the only one, but she thinks she has a lot of potential, she told Hoya.

“It seems like you don’t check the message box, but can you add a friend…? You can delete it immediately after confirming the broadcast date!”

She uses the broadcast date of the interview as an excuse and she puts her nickname on his friends list.

She was more likely to succeed given his character she felt during the interview.

“……yes I’m okay.”

‘Oh yea!’

Looking at the two letters Hoya inscribed on her friend list, Soo-ah Lee smiled contentedly.

After the interview with Lee Soo-ah was over, many players came to Hoya, who left the practice room.

Reporters and writers were waiting for Hoya to come out of the practice room, thinking that it would be possible for them to be interviewed after seeing Lee Soo-ah.

However, Hoya did not respond to their interview.

She said that in Lee Soo-ah’s case, she didn’t want to do it twice, because she actually listened to her complaint and she felt a bit uncomfortable in the corner of her heart.

-Hello, this is Initium Star’s Lee Soo-ah. First of all, please introduce yourself.

-Are you talking about yourself…?

– Yes, please.

-Uh… Hello, my name is Hoya.-……End?

– Yes, it’s over.

In MBS’s Initium Star’s office, there, several people gathered in front of a desk to look at a small laptop.

On the laptop in front of them, an interview video of Hoya, which Lee Soo-ah had taken, was playing.

“…Hey, be honest. Aren’t you shooting some kind of hidden camera right now?”

“no.”

“…Am I dreaming right now? Someone pinch my cheeks ah ah ah ah! hey! what if I push it too hard!”

“Still, you have to be sick to be sure.”

Gathered in front of the laptop, their reaction was consistent.

Surprisingly, that was their reaction.

Once I had received the preliminary report, I knew that Soo-ah Lee had gone to interview Hoya.

He thought it was a newcomer’s ambition and gave permission, but he had no idea that he would succeed.

So, when Lee Soo-ah, who came back, said that he had taken Hoya’s interview, he thought it was a lie to cover up his failure.

“Suah, if you fail, you should just be honest and say yes. If you lie for nothing, you will only get confused.”

“Unni… No, senior! I don’t know anything else, but I’m not lying!

When the main writer Nam Min-seo, who was responsible for bringing Soo-ah Lee to her Initium star, said so, Soo-ah Lee turned on her laptop and showed her the video of Hoya’s interview she had been organizing.

And the officials of Initium Star in the office were curious about Nam Min-seo’s reaction to seeing the video and rushed to Lee Soo-ah’s desk, which became the current situation.

“Suah! Let’s go together for the rest of our lives!”

“I was a little worried even when a male writer recommended it, but it turned out that it was a noble person, our youngest!”

Among the programs related to Initium, the recognition of Initium Star was mediocre.

It’s not that he didn’t have any awareness, but it was the Initium Star who was walking a tightrope in the middle.

Still, in a situation that has now become a red ocean, it was great that it was holding up that much even though it was a latecomer.

But even so, it was a little burdensome to hire a new writer.

So, when Nam Min-seo first recommended Lee Soo-ah, I was quite worried.

However, even though the momentum is now waning, the ‘Start! I brought him right away when I heard that he was the youngest writer of Intium Intium.

And not long after he brought him, he brought a big fish.

That’s a super-special fish, too.

“By the way… this player named Hoya is cuter than I thought.”

“Oh, I felt that too.”

In the video, when he only talked about praising himself, the face below him turned slightly red.

He didn’t stutter, but his actions showed little by little that he was moderately nervous.

But it felt pretty naive and cute.

It didn’t feel like he was acting that way on purpose.

“Can’t you see Vandal?”

Restoration of the northeast section is coming to a close.

All the buildings that were destroyed by Natalie have already been restored.

All that remained were the small traces that had been broken by the riots of those who were fascinated.

It was the royal expectation that the restoration would be completely completed in three days at the most.

And the restoration was not finished yet, but for some reason, the appearance of the half moon was not visible at the site.

Is there something going on?

As I was thinking about it, a craftsman belonging to a royal family smiled and spoke to Hoya.

“Today is the day when His Majesty the King is obliged to give Vandal-sama a rest.”

“Your Majesty the King?”

Vandal was a self-approved workaholic.

It is said that after becoming a craftsman belonging to the royal family, it was said that he had a day off once a month after laying down his hammer.

He was the one who didn’t listen to people around him telling him to rest for a day or so.

Geoffrino, who was worried about his health due to Vandal’s age due to his actions, mentioned that as soon as he took the throne, he even mentioned the name of the king, and it is said that he made Vandal’s day off.

“You look very healthy, don’t you?”

It was Hoya’s idea that Van Moon’s health didn’t look so bad that he even had to take a break.

Of course, it would be good for Vandal to take a break, but he didn’t think it was enough to give him a royal title.

The father-in-law who had spoken to Hoya chuckled at Hoya’s reaction and asked the question again.

“How old do you think Vandal-nim will be?”

“Um… About 65?”

“Ding! Wrong!”

The craftsman looked around and spoke softly to Hoya.

“You must have bought at least that ship?”

“Yes?!”

So it’s not like it’s over 130.

Can humans do that?

No, even if you can, you can correct that at that age… There is.

The inhabitants of Ordo came to mind in Hoya’s mind.

‘Moan is close to 300……’

All of Ordo’s inhabitants were at least 100 years old or close to that.

However, all the residents of Ordo maintained their youthful appearance despite their age.

Vandal was his grandfather who took good care of his body no matter how good he was.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not kidding. Vandal-nim has blood of different races mixed in.”

It is said that they do not know because they did not even tell them what kind of blood they were mixed with.

“As we expected, it looks like Dweep’s blood, but he doesn’t tell you. Inspired by the savagery.”

“Hahaha…….”

After telling him everything, he complained that he was acting rudely at the end.

Kwajik-.

Hoya didn’t know what to do with the long-running craftsman’s slightly backstory-like complaint, and he just smiled awkwardly next to him.

Just then, the sound of something breaking was heard in the distance.

Hoya turned his head to check, and it seemed that one of the craftsmen had made a slight mistake.

‘Huh……?’

It was a man with his head bowed down with his hat pressed deep down and his scarf wrapped around him.

In addition to that, he turned around and was beating the hammer, so his face was invisible.

It was a strange looking outfit.

But his arm and his back trembling with a hammer felt familiar.

Hoya said to the father-in-law who was talking to him that he would go back to work and left the room.

Then he went straight to the father-in-law who was wearing a hat.

“Can I leave it here?”

“……”

He did not answer Hoya’s question.

Although his face was still invisible, Hoya intuitively knew who he was.

“…Vandal-sama, right?”

“Hmmm, hmmm.”

“Can I stay here?”

He must have heard that it was a day off by ‘the king’s name’… isn’t it dangerous to be here?

“half…….”

“Hoya-sama!”

As Hoya was about to talk to the father-in-law, who was convinced it was Vandal, he heard a voice calling him from afar.

When he turned his head to the side where the voice was heard, he looked around and saw the guide running in a hurry.

“What’s going on here?”

“Come on, wait a minute… just breathe…!”

The guide, who had calmed down his panting breath to some extent, looked around and confirmed the words.

“Ho, have you not seen Vandal? I heard that you became close with Hoya, have you ever heard anything?”

It was not intentional, but Hoya was exquisitely hiding the half moon from the guide’s gaze.

Perhaps it was because of the hat or the guide did not recognize the half moon at all.

Then I felt something tap my leg.

As he moved his gaze slightly, he saw the half moon waving his hands.

It meant just let it go, and Hoya got it right.

“That… I’m sorry. I didn’t see you today.”

“is that so…….”

The guide, unable to hide his disappointment, shrugged his shoulders, said hello to Hoya, and started running around again to find the half moon.

As the guide went quite far, Vandal gently lowered his shawl and let out a suffocating breath.

“Uh-huh, you’re already on your way looking for it… Eying.”

“Is it okay to stay here? It’s a day off under the king’s name.”

“That’s why, if you stay still, it’s frustrating, so I can’t live up to my name.”

Vandal complained that he was not allowed to enter the workshop inside the royal castle on regular holidays.
