Extra Chapter 2 – Still the Earth Goes On (3)
After Kang Shin-hyuk’s wedding and Baek In-ha’s qualification, it took another ten years until a new top-level member of the Hero Universe (pre-catastrophe membership) appeared on Earth. Kang Shin-hyuk’s influence could be seen when several top members had appeared from earth, but it was Oh Hye-na, Baek In-ha’s wife, who became newly qualified after ten years.
Interestingly, a new qualification emerged on earth at that moment, which was the ability to invite other top-level members of the Hero Universe to earth. Originally, VIP members were able to visit other worlds on a limited basis through the My Room function, but the world’s stability had improved as many top-notch members were created, so now even other top-notch members could visit. In fact, it was a function Kang Shin-hyuk added, but the administrator added conditions on top of it.
“Huh, it’s a world that has developed in a very strange MANNER.”
[There are so many people. Uncomfortable. Don’t they know how to be polite?]
“I think it’s because you look unusual?”
[Is it that I’m ugly?]
“No.”
So, two of his friends came to visit as soon as earth opened, namely Milia and Kwati. The two people, who could be said to be absolutes of different worlds because of the attention they attracted, arrived.
“Kwati, you look so different from earthlings, and news of your visit has spread so much.”
Kang Shin-hyuk, who was acting as a guide for his friends today, sighed and regretted that he pretended not to know. The rumors had spread with tremendous speed from the VIP to the introductory bulletin board, all discussing the same topic. As soon as it became known that members of other worlds could visit earth, the members were very noisy, saying they would go. The mess even brought the administrator into it. Of course, Anvil was being discussed, and there were even rumors saying that his wives couldn’t be counted on your hands.
The two people chosen after an endlessly annoying selection process were these two looking at the city of Seoul like it was a wonder. Even now, he wondered if it was luck that those two were chosen. Maybe if the word fox was included in their ID, the probability would have increased?
-Cheh, I hate these two…
No. Given the honest reaction of the administrator, that didn’t seem to be it.
-Dad must be upright. It’s been over ten years since these two aimed for you!
‘I hope you don’t think everyone has such a militant and savage relationship.’
Both of them were special friends to him, as they had shared a time when they were all weak. Most of all, they were there to defeat Gaia even though they weren’t VIP members.
“Let’s move on. We’ll tour the famous tourist destinations in this world.”
“Well? No, I don’t really need to see anything like that. I want to see Anvil’s house.”
[It would be nice to see where you spent your childhood.]
“School? I heard you were in such a place before.”
Kang Shin-hyuk apologized to the administrator, seeing as the two quickly started surveying his family.
‘I’m sorry, administrator. You were right.’
-At least you’ve admitted it, so a 2 million HP bonus! Now that their purpose is clear, your guard must be firmly raised.
He wondered in that sense if his guard had been lowered when he invited these two to earth. Kang Shin-hyuk guided the visitors to where they wanted to go without showing off. He decided to start with the Starlight Orphanage, his elementary school, and then the Shinyoung guild HQ, leaving home for last. The two caught the attention of people everywhere and were talking to each other without a worry.
“It’s a statue of Anvil!”
[You’re holding a sword. Huh? It’s different from the sword I knew.]
“Ah, there are statues of me everywhere in our world too. After surrendering the throne to Zeke and resigning, I try not to affect the world as much as possible, but my ability isn’t so easily hidden…”
[Anvil, what is that? It looks like a thin and long cylinder.]
“Maybe you’ll find out soon.”
Kang Shin-hyuk’s guests were being filmed live to broadcast in more than ten countries. The two’s visit wasn’t only a meaningful event for themselves, but also for Earth.
“Kang Shin-hyuk, wait for a second! I’m from the KOS broadcasting station! Can I have a brief interview with the two aliens who found earth?”
“You can’t.”
“Ah!”
Kang Shin-hyuk arrived at his house with the two while rebuking the ruthless reporters who tried to follow behind swiftly. Jongno-gu, Seoul…it was a large mansion donated by the government in that area. The mansion had dignity and authority that none other could easily see, and it had been granted to them in exchange for a secret agreement to protect the Korean government.
“Oh, more splendid than the palace built in our country’s heyday… huh?”
“Oh my.”
There was a person waiting for him at the gate, Tsukuyo.
“You came back with your friends, Anvil.”
The image of Tsukuyo welcoming him back home was very old-fashioned. Kang Shin-hyuk sighed when he realized Tsukuyo had come out with the intent of meeting the two guests.
“I decided to invite them anyway, but this pretense.”
“…Huh?”
[Well?!]
Milia and Kwati’s expressions distorted as they noticed Tsukuyo.
“Tsukuyo? Why is this woman here, Anvil?”
[Okay. Were not only the two of us invited this time?]
One of those questions felt extremely cold, and the other was vividly hot. Maybe they already guessed the answer, but they didn’t dare confirm it with Kang Shin-hyuk.
“I’m not sure what you meant. I have been staying with Anvil since the day he came back. It’s been twelve years.”
And Tsukuyo, whose purpose was to provoke them from the start, didn’t miss the chance to make the worst remark she could!
“What?!”
[Nonsense!]
The response was intense anger that seemed to be able to freeze and burn the whole world simultaneously.
“How much HP did I use to get a ticket?!”
