I Have Supported My Favorite Character for 10 Years

Chapter 19

19. Joah came down from the sky!!

***

As you live in the world, you feel a variety of emotions.

Especially, when you live the same life like on a treadmill and experience something new.

Whether the experience was negative or positive. We feel a variety of emotions.

In that sense, I can also say that I felt quite a variety of emotions in the years following my discharge from the military.

But what can I say-

The emotions I feel now are more complex than any emotions I have ever felt before.

Kwaang─!

“Oppa!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Joa!!!!!!!!!”

Jenna and Azel jumped off the platform and rushed at me.

I just stood still with my arms spread out.

The two people stopped right in front of me.

We looked at each other like that for a while.

Pook—

He was lightly held in my arms.

The warmth of the two people reached me.

It was only then that it felt real.

‘I really came to Benon Academy….’

The heartbeat that travels through that warmth.

Thump thump thump thump─

Jenna and Azel hugged me tightly as if they didn’t want to let me go and didn’t move a single inch.

No, just a little trembling.

I also hugged him.

Ironically, despite the intense emotions we shared, we were unable to make much of a move.

I have no idea what kind of feeling this is.

Longing?

It is difficult to express it as longing.

Today is the first time we actually meet. Even though we had been talking for 10 years, it was like that.

Good to see you?

That is too light a word to describe us.

Joy? Joy or sorrow? Joy?

It wasn’t something that could be explained with such universal words.

Because our relationship was not a universal situation in the first place.

Because our memories were special.

It cannot be explained with universal words.

Before I knew it, my chest had become wet.

Jenna asked in a voice full of moisture.

“hehehe… Oppa, you’re Joa’s oppa, right?”

Jenna always tried to show a bright side. She is always positive, says it’s okay, and actually worries about me first.

However, I know very well that Jenna actually has greater pain and wounds than anyone else.

Jenna’s crying also contains that.

It feels like something has been held in and then burst out. Such pain, sadness.

“Yes, that’s me.”

Only then did the messages she had shared with Jenna pass by like a panorama.

Always hold on to something and hold on.

That’s what Jenna used to do.

Even when I was having a hard time in middle school, I tried not to show it. He just gave me a hint through a subtle message.

Jenna is that kind of person. Although she appears bright and positive on the outside, she is actually more painful than anyone else on the inside.

At the same time, he is a strong person who has endured all trials on his own, from the difficult times of his childhood in the slums to the present.

I was just overly immersed in the feeling of developing a character on the monitor.

This situation still feels like a dream, and I can’t believe it.

But if you still feel this vividly.

Please do what I did-

I hope that every single thing, including sponsorships and gifts, was dependable and helpful.

With all your heart, just pat.

After comforting her like that without saying much, Jenna asked.

With wide eyes.

“Oppa… You’re really here, right?”

Jenna’s voice was full of moisture.

I didn’t want to say shy words of comfort to Jenna.

Also, I didn’t want to repeat that I was right.

I was really a fool who didn’t know anything, but….

I responded by patting Jenna on the back.

“Yes, my daughters. I’m here.”

I will make sure you never cry again.

Never again.

The time when I was patting Jenna.

I felt an intense gaze from the other side.

Unlike Jenna, whose eyes were red and bloodshot from crying-

Azel with red cheeks.

Her mouth is open and she is staring at me blankly.

If the reunion with Jenna was a whirlpool of complicated emotions-

I have a feeling that this place is really going to be a whirlpool.

Our eyes collided in the air.

That moment.

“Ah! Jo, it’s Joanie?! aaah! aaa…!”

Azel was embarrassed and got down on her knees while holding me.

Thump—

I was about to ask her if she was okay because I thought her knees might be hurting-

“Bow, worship! I bow to you!”

I started to bow.

“… “

Suddenly?

If it were just Azel, she would have just felt cute.

But, that is not the end.

“Pay homage to Joa!”

“”I bow to you!””

“Ah…! Finally! We finally met the Prophet! He saves us and leads us to the right path…!”

From the thunderbolt bodyguards lined up near Azel….

“”Joah came down from the sky!!””

From noble mtl dot com

“”I will spread your teachings widely!””

Quite a few of the students standing on one side of the stadium also knelt down.

Like some kind of fanatic, they raise their hands to the sky and then put them back down to the ground and repeat.

Following that, placards are fluttering from the sky.

[(Gyeong) I’m happy! Joah, you came down from the sky! (Congratulations) – All believers of the Benon God Church Joa Sect]

… It seems like the genre has suddenly changed.

What was truly scary was that all the people bowing were shedding tears with expressions of emotion.

“hehehehe! At las! “Joah has finally come to save us!”

“”Hurray! Long live Joa! Long live Jo-Apa!””

“Ah….”

I feel dizzy.

It finally occurred to me. The way Azel used to shout out my nickname and sing hymns with other people.

That means it was not a game element, but reality.

I also remember that in the video Azel sent, they talked about ‘Joa faction’ and ‘Joa sect’.

It seems to have originated as one of the religious sects called Benongatism….

The scale seems crazy.

On rare occasions, even people in high positions and professors at the academy were seen bowing.

Azel…

What on earth are you doing?

I feel like I have unintentionally become the leader of a pseudo-religion.

No, strictly speaking, there is a real god called ‘Benon God’, so rather than being a pseudo-fake, it must have been officially recognized.

Should this also be considered a benefit of top tier sponsorship?

“Am I supposed to like this…?”

I’m holding my forehead with one hand.

Jenna squirmed slightly.

“Oppa. That….”

Now, Azel, why don’t you stop doing that? It’s a bit embarrassing.

Jenna herself didn’t talk back like that.

But I knew she would say that.

“Yes. Please tell me to stop and come back.”

“Azel, your brother said you can stop now and come in.”

Azel, who had been bowing to Jenna’s words, stopped.

At the same time, all the people who were bowing inside the stadium stopped bowing all at once.

“Ah, ah. I-I, really, is it okay if I do that?”

“…Of course.”

On one hand, I feel afraid, but on the other hand, I think that these people are all on my side –

It is also reassuring.

I opened my right arm and made room again.

Azel carefully stood up. She approached me cautiously.

“Ah…!”

It is an honor!

After saying that, Azel opened her arms and hugged me again.

Fluffy texture.

“Joa! I’ve been waiting for this day!”

It’s cozy.

A lot of unexpected things happened, but it still feels like the picture I was drawing in my imagination has been completed in reality.

A picture of me holding Jenna and Azel in my arms and having a casual conversation.

“How is everyone?”

“Yes!”

“Yes.”

Jenna has stopped crying and is smiling.

Azel is smiling brightly as always.

As I quietly hugged him, my intense emotions gradually subsided.

Feeling comfortable. Even though this is obviously our first time meeting like this.

Even though so many people’s eyes are focused –

It is so comfortable.

It feels like lying down on a mat on a mountain with a cool breeze blowing and looking at the moderately cloudy sky.

– I even thought about it for a moment.

It became very uncomfortable again.

“Hmm.”

My emotions calmed down a little.

When I came to my senses, I realized that the two people were actually more powerful than I imagined. Even though they are my daughters….

No, in fact, they are not actually blood mixed with me….

No, I mean-

I’m not saying I’m thinking that way about my daughters, but anyway-

I was trying hard to organize my thoughts when Jenna spoke.

“Thank you, brother. I’ll do better in the future. I’ll really do my best.”

Jenna expressed her gratitude in a formal way.

… Make me feel guilty.

“Wow, I am truly grateful.”

I patted Jenna and looked next to her-

“Haa…Haa….”

I recognized Azelle earlier, but she is not ordinary.

Her face is completely red, almost like a blush, and she is breathing heavily.

Why is he like this?

“… “Azel, are you okay?”

“I… I’m so excited.”

“Oh, brother, don’t misunderstand. I’m glad you came. Azel is weak to heat.”

Jenna had an expression that said, ‘This is what’s coming.’

I know well that Azel is always sweating profusely.

He’s just a fool who gets hot easily –

I thought it was just that.

I feel quite embarrassed as I hold it in my arms and look at it.

Above all else, language selection….

In fact, in some sense, it can mean that being excited is good.

But the problem is that this is the situation with this expression.

While I was confused by Azel’s sudden remark, I heard a coughing sound from somewhere.

“Hmm, I’m sorry for interrupting your meeting, but since we have cleared the way, would you mind if I guide you in this direction?”

A person wearing a servant’s outfit that looked like something out of a historical drama pointed to one side and said that.

I turned my head and looked in the direction he pointed.

“…… Is it really necessary to do this….”

***

A large man wearing red robes.

King Benon.

Like the chairman, he too had just heard the message from Benongat and came running in a huff.

In Benon World, the position of king is not hereditary.

The king did not take his position easily either.

He is a survivor in a political world where all kinds of scheming tricks are rampant. Therefore, his insight could be seen to be faster than anyone else’s.

Just by listening to Benongat’s message, one could sense that the sponsor coming today was a ‘different level’ sponsor.

He quickly began to make his way through the crowd for Cheon Luck.

Not only does he bring along his subjects, but he also prays himself.

“Sponsor, please excuse me, but please leave. hahahaha.”

“… Yes?”

According to Benongat, sponsors receive ‘the best treatment.’ In fact, everyone treated me as if they were a very difficult being.

But when King Benon casually touched him, he was taken aback. Of course, he didn’t know the exact circumstances, so he just did as he was told.

It is true that ‘sponsors’ receive the best treatment. However, that does not mean that he is higher than King Benon.

A concept of equal degree.

Also, not all sponsors received exactly the same treatment.

For example, like the difference in treatment received between Cheonun, who is currently reuniting with Azel and Jenna while receiving all kinds of worship before his eyes, and Michael, who is just watching the scene from the side.

Michael, who was not aware of this fact, muttered softly.

“… But that person is also a sponsor, so why….”

Typically, treatment varies slightly depending on the sponsor’s [Academy Ranking].

It is true that it is unusual for a new sponsor who has not even been ranked yet to receive such treatment.

But.

“This person is the highest tier sponsor.”

Michael and his supporters, who were secretly dissatisfied with the king’s words, kept their mouths shut.

“You know, if you twist it…. hahahaha. “I ask for your understanding, hehehehe.”
