Ch 23
Episode 22 – The Emperor of the Astrod Empire.
5th floor. today.
At the end of the manager’s words, the hologram window disappeared, and a new notification appeared.
[Enjoy the ordeal]
The message paused for a moment, then resumed.
[You have cleared the ordeal, but you have time left.]
[Are you sure you want to proceed with the ordeal? Go to the 6th floor when the time ends.]
[Y/N]
Kim Jae-joo’s hand turned to Y as if it was natural.
As soon as I pressed it, everything turned in the opposite direction, and the scenery of the courthouse bloomed.
– suck
-under
-? Am I the only one who bounced back and came back?
-me too? me too!
– Feels like you’ve seen an ad at a really important moment;
– What if there are 6 advertisements?
– What if you can’t skip?
-Ah, I was interrupted by over-immersion.
-When I leave, I go to write a complaint letter to the manager.
– Again, please don’t do it again. Because of that, the 50th floor ..eup…eup
-?? what are you talking about
“Do you have anything to say, Emperor Caoli de Toprax?”
Radiac smiled mischievously.
“…just thank you.”
Jaejoo Kim, who stared at Radiac for a moment, politely bowed his head.
“We haven’t taken the formal process yet, so I’ll write the inaugural address at that time.”
“I’m embarrassed.”
“sorry.”
“I’ll have to be careful when I apologize in the future. I’m no longer the Emperor of the Empire.”
Radiac frowned and opened one eye.
“Yes.”
As if Jaejoo Kim liked such indifferent words, Radiak burst out laughing and turned around.
“Today is a day to celebrate! Do you all want to go get a drink?”
“Yes!”
The crowd responded with strong voices and rose from their seats.
Even though he was no longer emperor, he was a radiac.
– Let’s be friendly to the emperor haha
– wink
-Ah, I’ll never call her the corner of the room again.
– (nod)
[Remaining time: 11 hours per day]
Kim Jae-joo left the courthouse immediately after asking for forgiveness from Radiac.
– Wow, no matter how much I think about it, this floor is a legend.
-Legend of legend
– Jaejoo, people around you say hello, so please accept it haha
– cold
– Jaejoo Kim is the emperor, so why are we excited?
-me too? me too!
-I’ll give you the price for Nick, so go to the emperor Kim Jaejoo.
– Oh, I want chicken and beer.
– Did anyone see the clear message popping up?
The place where Kim Jae-joo arrived was his residence, passing by nobles, imperial families, and knights commanders who bowed 90 degrees around him.
-suddenly?
-I said the emperor would like to have a drink, so why are you here?
-yes? Say something, Emperor Jaejoo Kim
“Just.”
Jaejoo Kim closed the door and looked at the portrait hanging on one side of the wall.
Long, fluttering hair, sparkling eyes that look like they have been pierced with jewels, and a smile that feels benevolent.
You could tell what kind of person he was just by looking at the picture.
“Somehow, I think I’ll have to come here.”
– Ah… ah…
-Suk-Yeon
Before coming to the tower, Jaejoo Kim recalled the memory of watching the video of the 5th floor attack in the studio.
「Awkward…Keep… You idiot, Kaoli. Why can’t you speak?”
I couldn’t control my pounding heart and couldn’t stand my eyes getting wet.
“·········· Now done.”
-5th floor sensibility on
-mind! Just have a drink and forget it all!
– Haha yeah, it’s not even real anyway
according to the audience
This world is not real, and Jaejoo Kim is not Kaoli.
Maybe it’s selfish greed.
‘Kaoli. I hope you are satisfied with this.’
Jaejoo Kim opened the door and headed to the banquet hall where the buzz echoed.
[Remaining time: 17 hours]
Kim Jae-joo got up from bed and took off his clothes to wash with a movement he was used to.
-Oh, Kim Jaejoo, if you’re going to take off your clothes, tell them to take care of the blinds.
-ㅗtㅑ
– It looks like you haven’t been drunk yet.
– Whoa! my eyes!
“ah.”
Jaejoo Kim hastily searched the settings window and pressed the blind process.
I don’t know if he respected his own privacy, but if this happens, viewers will not be able to see anything except the chat window.
-If you’re stuck on a remote island
-Oh, but?
-If you can get the ability related to your nickname, is it possible to escape from a remote island?
“What are you doing?”
The viewers were chatting for a while, whether Kim Jae-joo was bored while he was sleeping and waking up.
-Oh, His Majesty the Emperor. Are you out of your mind now?
– Haha, did you drink too much?
-Really; I drank a few cans by myself.
“I’m curious, I’ll listen.”
-Haha, Kim Jae-joo’s attention
– Did our talents suddenly become kind?
-Kim Fargo off
-Have you heard of a remote island?
“yes.”
– Raise your hand if you are confident.
– His Majesty the Emperor is watching.
-[User ‘Attaatadanbi’ sponsors 10 coins!]
-[damn…..]
– Hahahahahahahahahahaha
– That’s… Do I have to cry all day?
– What is Danbi?
– Yes, next meal.
-[User ‘our hyung’ sponsors 10 coins!]
-[All day..I’m tired…I’m just sitting…Hoo…]
-This…you won.
-Is your real name Mr. Lee Si-guk?
– 👌👌👌 That’s right!
“It’s not fun. Stop it.”
– shy;
– Jaejoo, what are you going to do now?
-It’s the first time the ending has ended like this, so the portal might open;
-What am I worried about haha The other streamers ran out and the ending was also complete.
-I agree
-Let’s start with coins haha I shot a lot yesterday.
“Yes? Coins?”
– You see haha You said you don’t know if I shoot when I’m drunk?
– not; we should enjoy
-There was no change in his expression, so he didn’t even know he was drunk;
Kim Jae-joo looked back on his fuzzy memories.
He certainly remembered having fun chatting with Radiac, and even asking Bran to bet on him for a drink.
only up to there.
“I’m sorry, I can’t remember.”
He apologized frankly and looked through the settings window.
[Holding Coins: 16592]
“How the hell did you shoot?”
-lol
-haha
– haha… haha..
-I stole all the chicken prices for a month…
“········Thanks anyway.”
-Yeah, well haha, good things are good things
-[User ‘THE LOVE’ sponsors 10,000 coins!]
-[Good job.]
– Belt?
-Dirty, it was quiet yesterday and soared haha
– As expected, the eyes of the deceased are… Timing
“Thank you. I will work harder.”
-Haha, are you going to work harder here?
– Beyond poison, the level of no emotion
– After all, it’s Kim Pargo.
– Wow, you mean you really shoot that thing casually?
‘Have you admitted it now?’
If a user named ‘THE LOVE’, with a cautious personality, shoots coins generously from the 5th floor, it was a great achievement.
– Now what?
-Oh, it’s an invincible night.
– Magic engineering, please.
– Wizard
-assassin…
– Yeah… no… no… go back
“Wait.”
Jaejoo Kim entered the underground space where the beasts were.
kei ing.
Big, Creung.
The beasts looked lively, probably because Podric was paying attention.
And on the floor of that space, I saw three white cotton balls floating around.
“Popoi!”
When the popoes saw Jaejoo Kim, they jumped up and stuck to the body.
– Now he’s completely fresh.
– After all, the root is Popois haha
-Our Popoi ㅠㅠ It’s muddy, I miss you.
-There are quite a few popoi moms;
-Fact) If you didn’t like Popo, you left sooner.
Jaejoo Kim stroked the heads of those popoes.
The soft touch and the soft feeling of being swept down passed into his hand.
– It’s very, very, very enviable.
-When I approached, I would start brushing my teeth.
– Magical Mathematics… Shall we learn it?
– black cow
After Kim Jae-joo put the popoes down in the room, he left the residence.
“I’ll listen to you from the studio.”
– Is it like that?
-Po-Gi
-You’re clever, let’s get a Gramun Knight weapon. Is physics the best in the beginning?
“I don’t like it.”
-Magic Engineering (Physical)
-Shhh I can only bring one, but I ended up with a weird mechanical glove.
-Am I the only one who thinks that Jaejoo Kim is doing that?
-me too?
-me too?
When we arrived in front of the workshop, there was Bran smoking a pipe at the beginning of the year alone.
“Well?”
Bran, who was staring blankly at the sky, noticed Kim Jae-joo approaching.
“Who is this? What is the Sun of the Empire doing here?”
“I stopped by to say thank you.”
“Yeah? It’s going to be a long time coming.”
Bran robbed the pipe and filled the pocket with fresh tobacco leaves. After a while, smoke rose spontaneously from the pipe.
“Are you all right?”
“Don’t worry about unnecessary things. To worry about me over losing a bet. 100 years is a long way off.”
“Haha… that was definitely off topic.”
Bran looked at Jaejoo Kim for a moment, then looked up at the sky again.
“Radiac, you’ve been doing it for too long.”
“······Is that so?”
“It’s a place where no one looks down on you, so you must have endured so many responsibilities alone. Your shoulders must have been very sore.”
“·········Yes.”
“Chuckle. I was talking nonsense. Did you come to find the gloves you made?”
“Yes, because it is absolutely necessary.”
“The state was very unstable. It is better to use it with caution. I have no idea where to use that dangerous thing.”
“Thank you for your concern. Please stay healthy and make many good works.”
“This person? Anyone who sees it would think I’ll never see it!
Bran went into the design room after wiping out the beginning of the year, probably because Kim Jae-joo’s strangely serious attitude was awkward.
– Ah… ah…
-Kingran.
– Gatran
-Kutou…Sensei…I won’t forget it
“Then I’ll go.”
After Kim Jae-joo stopped by the workshop to pick up his gloves, the last place he stopped was the residence of the emperor.
“Come in.”
The guardian knights still looked at Jaejoo Kim with a blunt expression, but there was no coldness.
In the reception room he entered, Radiac was reading a book while drinking tea with a relaxed expression.
“Kaoli.”
“I’m seeing my father.”
Jaejoo Kim greeted him politely and sat across from the sofa.
“Isn’t it better to sleep a little more? There must be a lot of preparations from now on.”
“·······It’s fine. I think seeing your face comes first.”
widely.
At Kim Jae-joo’s strangely stiff attitude, Radiak put down his teacup and closed the book.
“You seem to have something to say.”
“Yes.”
“Tell me.”
“It’s not really a big deal, but suddenly a question came to mind while reading the diary.”
“okay?”
“Yes. When I was young, I secretly raised a beast, and after finding out about it, my father scolded me greatly.”
“·······It seems that you are still concerned about that.”
“No. More than that, I’m curious as to why. Why are you so angry? It’s just curiosity, and if you’re uncomfortable with answering, I won’t listen.”
“Fedric’s mouth looks quite heavy. You still don’t know about it.”
Radiac closed his eyes as if in thought for a moment, then opened them shortly afterwards and opened his mouth.
“Okay. There’s no reason why I can’t say anything about it now.”
“Yes.”
“Among the beasts you are raising, there are some demons that show the energy of a rampage.”
“…Is that so?”
-Information) Berserk is a symptom that occurs when magic power runs out in the body of a beast.
-Thank you, Numulboman!
“Yeah. I would have done it if it was purely coincidental. I found out that it was someone’s craft.
– Oh, Sloan?
-Sloan, disgusting even in death…you are a moral book…
Radiak let out a sigh and continued speaking.
“That was all. My feelings were complicated, but there was one reason. I couldn’t stand seeing you being swayed by such an ugly hyung and you, who resembles your mother so pathetic. Will you be free?”
“·········Yes, thank you.”
“Yeah. I have a tight schedule today, so don’t mess around here and get out of here.”
“All right.”
Radiac, who had been coughing for some reason, opened the book again and gave a congratulatory order.
Jaejoo Kim grabbed the doorknob, stood idly for a moment, then turned and bowed his back.
In a respectful position, neither too stiff nor bent.
“Thank you for loving this ugly Kaoli until the end.”
“······ Became the emperor and became sentimental. I will teach you firmly later.”
Jaejoo Kim straightened his back again and without hesitation opened the door and exited the reception room.
3rd Floor.
Baek Jin-ha, the 4901th user.
He breathed heavily.
“Ah, bros, why is the difficulty here so hard?”
-Yeah, it’s your fault for choosing the award~
-If you twist, you die.
“··········· Sorry. But where is the portal?”
– This shhh, my eyes are pricked up.
– The portal isn’t open, so go inside the temple.
Swallowing the swearing that was rising from within, he entered the temple.
“What is this?”
– Can you see the scroll?
– read it
With trembling hands, Baek opened the scroll and read the contents.
「Astrod Empire 957.
For the first time in the Empire, an emperor who succeeded to orthodoxy without conspiracies, conspiracies, and cowardly tactics was born.
The emperor was wise, bold, and full of valor.
The whole nation praised him.
When all the nobles saw him, they were not in vain with awe and fear.
The empire is prospering day by day, and joyful echoes are resounding everywhere.
Travelers reading this. Please, please.
I, Podric, tell you not to offend our Astrod Empire Emperor.”
“What? It’s just that you’re proud of your empire, right?”
– What is this? is it a bug?
