Ohjins party went on for three hours until the atmosphere cooled. Once a certain song rang from the TV in the living room, people naturally felt that it was time for them to go.
"Haha. I enjoyed the party! I'll contact you again next time!" Manager Han said as he left.
"Bye, Manager Gorilla!" Ohjin exclaimed.Findd new stories at novel35.com
"Wh-what do you mean?!" Tears welled up in Manager Hans eyes.
Take care, Ha-eun! If you need any equipment, please stop by the lab!" Sihoo said.
"Oh, for free?" Ha-eun asked,
"Err Sihoo scratched his head. If its fun, I guess?"
Ha-eun smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder. "I'm just kidding. I'll bring a pile of starstones when I visit."
"Well be heading out first, Manager Han said as he guided Sihoo out.
"Yes, get home safely!" Rebecca said as she poured the rest of her alcohol down her throat and turned to look at Ohjin, who was lying face-down on the table and breathing heavily. "Why is he like that? Did he drink a lot?"
"Huh? Ha-eun tilted her head. I barely saw him drink anything, though." She tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Ohjin raised his head and stared at Isabella, who was sitting across the table from him.
Looking satisfied as if shed eaten a big, hearty meal, Isabella stood from her seat and said, "I'll start cleaning~" She hummed and took away the plates.
Ha-eun tilted her head, sensing that there was something strange between the two.
Meanwhile, Rebecca smiled. "So there wasn't only one competitor, huh?" she mumbled before, still in her chair, she leaned in toward Ohjin and whispered, "Really aren't you too bold to be doing things like that in front of people?"
! Ohjin's eyes widened as he flinched and turned to give her a stunned look. The woman held her stomach and laughed in response.
Ha-eun was still confused and tilted her head. "What? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"
"Hahaha! It's nothing." Rebecca said before getting up from her seat. "I'll also be going now. Invite me again next time, Mr. Seventh Star." She winked and walked out the front door.
"Haa" Ohjin held a hand to his forehead as if he had a headache.
Are they slowly leaving? Vega, whod eaten her fill, flew over to Ohjin. What? Maybe it was because shed eaten too much, but she lost her sense of balance in mid-air and fell.
Thankfully, Riak was quick to react and caught her on his back. "Are you okay, Vega?"
A-ahem! I lost my balance because I was drunk! she exclaimed.
Cmon, Ha-eun disagreed, just a glance, and I can tell that its because you ate too much. Why are you blaming the alcohol?
Shut up!! Vega flew straight at Ha-eun and yanked on her earlobe.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Just when the living room was getting noisy again, Woohyuk approached Ohjin and said, "Ohjin"
"Woohyuk, are you going to go home now?" Ohjin asked.
"Yes. Before that, I have something to ask you, to be precise Its a question for Ha-eun."
"What?" Ohjin asked.
Ha-eun whod been play-fighting with Vega turned to look at them with wide eyes. "Huh? Me?"
"It can't fly. It has wings, but I've never seen them in use." Ha-eun recounted the terrible memories of the past and relayed all that she knew.
"Do you happen to know where the nest is?"
"The nest? I don't know where the nest is."
"Hmm Could you at least make a guess?"
"Well, even if you say that, nothing comes to mind. Ha-eun scratched her head with an embarrassed look on her face.
Woohyuk let out a deep sigh. "As expected, not even you know where its nest could be." Theyd have to find its nest if they wanted to take out the named monster before it gathered more power. Unfortunately, he was at a loss. "If only I knew where the nest was"
-If only I knew where the nest was
Bzzt
Ohjin's vision twisted, and Woohyuk's voice, muttering the same words as before, resonated in his head. This His eyes shone as the Black Heavens newest trait activated, and a familiar feeling assaulted him.
-Woohyuk, O-over there! Th-that's the nest!
He heard Shinhyuk yelling in excitement as the nests location naturally flowed into his head.
"Fuu Woohyuk breathed out a long sigh. I'm sorry to remind you of bad memories on such a good day."
"No, its fine, Ha-eun said. You're going on a business trip tomorrow?"
"Yes, I heard the named monsters also resumed their activities overseas, so I'm going to see what else I can find out."
"Youre working hard."
"Haha. Someone has to do it." Woohyuk stood up and grabbed his coat. "Well, we'll get going. I enjoyed the meal."
"Yes, go ahead," Ha-eun waved goodbye.
Meanwhile, Ohjin watched him leave without saying a word.

The door closed, signaling the end of the rambunctious party.
"Shall we clean up now?" Ha-eun asked.
I'll help you! Vega exclaimed.
As the other two cleaned up, Ohjin closed his eyes and thought over some memories. The smell of medicine wafted into his nose, and he recalled Ha-eun lying in a hospital bed and trembling amidst an unfamiliar darkness.
He knew where the being whod taken her light from her was, and a blue fire kindled in his eyes as he slowly opened them. "Everyone, I have something to say."
"What?" Ha-eun asked.
Vega turned to look at him as well. What are you talking about?
The only other three people in the roomHa-eun, Vega, and Isabellawere all waiting for his next words.
"You know what we just heard about the Thousand Curse Dragon? he asked them.
"Oh, yes," Isabella said.
"Lets slaughter that bastard."
Ohjin felt sorry for the Valhalla Guild, but if it was something that had to be done, then he would do it himself.
