Chapter 64

[Sirius Year-End Party]

December 28th. Only a few days left in the lunar calendar year.

Looking back at the year, it was incredibly tumultuous. Endless events prevented us from enjoying a peaceful life.

I hope that nothing will happen next year.

By this point, I couldnt help but pray.

Eunha looked up at the night sky hanging over the tall buildings and made a wish. Even though I didnt believe in gods, it felt like making a wish in this way might improve my mood, considering that the world had once faced destruction.

What are you doing there?

Euna asked curiously as she stopped walking in front of the hotel and looked up at the night sky.

Im sorry, sis, I just wanted to ask for something.

You cant wish yet. You should make your wish while listening to the bells of the New Year! (1)

Euna spread her hands wide above her head. She was wearing an off-the-shoulder blouse, revealing the line that ran from her armpits to her chest.

Noona.

Oh, sorry.

Euna realized she was once again wearing a party dress. She was used to wearing casual clothes, but she wasnt used to being so careful.

But arent you cold?

I came by car, so its okay. Besides, the party venue is inside the hotel, right?

Sure.

Eunha held out her hand, and Euna smiled and took it. As if that wasnt enough, she wrapped her arms around his shorter frame and hugged him tightly.

Eunha, Euna~! Kimchi~!

His father, who had been walking ahead of them, was now filming them with his smartphone. The sight of the two children walking down the red carpet arm in arm was so adorable that they didnt mind the stares of the people around them.

Dad are the people from Dads company here?

Even though Eunha subtly hinted for him to keep calm.

What, why?.

He didnt even listen. Instead, he glared and threatened anyone who looked his way, and those who made eye contact quickly greeted him and hurriedly disappeared.

My father is the Vice President of Strategic Planning and Management at Sirius Devices. Is this company really trustworthy?

Eunha thought about the future of Sirius Devices. The device business, which could be considered the core of the group, didnt show any signs of being inferior to Galaxy Devices.

He worried that even with his fathers addition, the future might not change. He hoped that he would stay in the company for a long time if possible.

Please come in, Director Noh. Are there two children in your party?

Im not a director yet.

Well, next year is only a few days away, so Ill take this opportunity to flatter you.

Haha, thanks for the kind words. Its just me, my son, and my daughter today.

Every year, Sirius Group organizes a year-end party to celebrate the unity of its affiliates and their hard work throughout the year.

The party was held at Dawn Hotel Myeongdong Branch, operated by Dawn Group. In front of the banquet hall, an employee who knew my father was checking the invitations.

Have a good time.

After checking the invitations, the employee bowed to the children and opened the door to the banquet hall.

Wow!

Euna couldnt hide her admiration as she stepped into the ballroom.

A vast space with no place where the light didnt reach. Men in suits and women in dresses were chatting happily, and each table covered with a pure white tablecloth was lined with food that she had never seen before.

Its a pity mom and Eunae didnt come.

Euna paced around the table, her ponytail spinning like a propeller.

His mother couldnt attend the party because she was taking care of Eunae.

His father had planned to attend the party alone, as he did every year, but his mother had insisted that he take the children with him, as it was a promotion opportunity for him.

We can eat as much as mom and Eunae.

Eunha was disappointed that his mother and Eunae couldnt come, but he had no choice.

He brought some of the food he had on hand to comfort her.

Wow, its delicious! Eunha, you should try it too!

Eunas face lit up instantly.

Eunha stared at the food Euna dipped her fork into. For a party organized by the Sirius Group, the quality of the food was very high.

Was it really this good?

Come to think of it, he often attended parties out of necessity. There were times when he had to spend the whole party with a chewed-up face or guard the banquet hall, so he didnt pay attention to the food.

Are you sure you dont want to eat this? Its delicious.

Yoojung unnie, this is also delicious!

Huh? This is the first chocolate Ive ever had, which pastry chef made it?

Wow unnie, do you even know which pastry chef made it?

Of course I do. Even though I look like this, I had a good life before I became a player. Well, I still have a good life now.

Wow, unnie, unnie, please buy me that delicious food next time, please!

There were times when Yoo-jung and Baekryeon recommended food.

At the time, he couldnt understand why they enjoyed party food.

Its delicious.

Isnt it?

He regretted that he only understood this pleasure now. If he had understood it earlier, he might have been able to treat them more gently.

Lets eat a lot.

Yes, sis.

Euna had said she was uncomfortable in her shoes before coming to the party, but now she was running around the ballroom with a plate.

The Sirius Group year-end party wasnt exactly a formal affair.

So, Eunha decided not to pay much attention even if Euna ran around like a whirlwind. And he, too, followed her, holding a plate and piling up food.

Kids, Im going to talk to the people at work. Cant you wander off from the chairman?

Go ahead.

For a while, Dad hadnt even touched his food. He hadnt been able to touch his food for a while, because people were coming up to him to congratulate him on his promotion, and people were coming up to him to get to know him a little better.

Huh?

Sis, you have sauce on the corner of your mouth.

Hehe. Wipe it off, wipe it off.

Eunha had been expecting this to happen anyway. After sending his father away, blending into the crowd, he wiped the pasta sauce from the corner of her mouth.

It didnt take long for him or her to empty their first plates. They both picked up new plates for another bite.

Eunha?

Seo-young?

Shin Seo-young. Wearing a dress instead of the leather jacket she usually wore over her shoulder, she pushed her way through the crowd.

Why is noona here?

Because Clan Changhae is sponsored by the Sirius Group.

So youre here as a guard?

Im here as a sub-clan. The people standing guard are over there.

She shrugged and pointed behind her. He glanced around, noticing players who didnt blend in easily. Members of Siriuss sponsored clan were attending the party and guarding it at the same time.

Gil Sung-jun was nowhere to be seen.

Eunha scratched his head as he realized that the Lord of Changhae Clan was nowhere to be seen among the crowd. He was an opportunist, but it was rare for him to not show his face at a low-ranking party.

Hes been busy lately.

There was no way Shin Seo-young was unaware of Eunhas behavior. After a moment of bitterness, she spoke in a low voice.

Why are you here, anyway, Eunha?

My father is from Sirius Devices.

Oh, right. So you came with Father. Then this must be

Shin Seoyoung turned her attention to Euna.

A girl who looked nothing like Eunha, neither in face nor in aura.

But she could tell from the stories she had heard from him before that she was his older sister.

That made her curious.

How much mana she had in her body.

Mana wasnt determined by genetics, but she couldnt ignore the role it played. If Eunha was on the higher end of the scale for kids his age, I wondered how much his sister was.

Look at her?

Shin casually checked the mana in her body.

But Euna, who had sensed the flow of mana, quickly deployed concealment techniques. Since the dawn department store incident, she had started learning concealment from Eunha, making her own presence somewhat blurry.

However, Shin Seoyoung/Golden Wind was a caster considered the best in South Korea.

Nowhere to hide!

She was not someone who couldnt unravel the concealment technique that Euna had deployed.

Aah!

Euna was surprised when her layered concealment technique failed to have any effect and disappeared. Moreover, it wasnt just breaking the concealment technique, but completely unraveling it.

And Shin Seoyoung

Dont you want to try being a player?

Her mana, which was incomparable to the one she had encountered before, was beyond what the players gathered at the banquet hall possessed.

Shin Seoyoung couldnt hide her astonishment.

It was amazing that a child with such a vast amount of mana was still alive today, and her mana handling skills werent bad either.

A girl with a promising future depending on who taught her.

And Shin Seoyoung could say with certainty that she was the only one who could teach a girl with bottomless mana.

Ill teach you. This unnie wants to teach you .

Noona Seo-young?

Eunha quickly interjected. He had thought this might happen when she met Euna, but he hadnt expected her to claim to be her teacher.

But Eunha had also thought that she was the only one who could teach her. With so little mana in his body, he had no more magic to teach her.

He didnt have any objections, as long as she made up her mind.

Ill do it! I want to be a player!

The decision didnt have to be made immediately. The players who had been paying attention to them for a while were trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The banquet hall would have gone crazy if Shin Seoyounghadnt organized an anti-eavesdropping barrier.

Lets talk about this later, there are many people watching.

I see. You said your name was Euna. Well talk later.

Shin Seoyoung also noticed the curious gazes of the players who were observing Euna. She released the barrier and exchanged greetings with the familiar children before parting ways.

Sis

Wow, theres something interesting over there too!

Sigh, you purposely avoided me. Here.

When Eunha called her sister in a low tone, it meant that he was scolding her. Euna deliberately jumped to another table, avoiding him.

Among the foods that caught her eye was chocolate fondue. She couldnt take her eyes off the flowing fountain. She wanted to eat it but didnt know how, so she looked at it with a sense of regret.

Sis, this is how you do it.

Eunha put fruits and marshmallows skewered on a stick into the fountain. The skewer revealed itself from the fountain, coated in chocolate.

I want to try too!

With sparkling eyes, she made a new skewer. She skewered marshmallows among various fruits and shook the ponytail in various directions.

How much do you want to eat?

Oh, what a waste.

Chocolate dripping from the skewer.

She wiped off the chocolate that fell onto the table with her finger. Then she licked her finger.

She seemed really eager to eat.

She propped the skewer up with her plate and popped the chocolate-covered marshmallow into her mouth.

Wow.

Ah, she was impressed.

Euna watched with amusement as she bit into the skewer, ignoring the chocolate in the corner of her mouth.

Apparently, the other kids didnt.

My mom says were supposed to behave at parties.

She says Im not supposed to eat the party food.

We might get in trouble with the adults.

They were the kids who had been observing them since they entered the banquet hall. They approached them, concerned about the two who were freely behaving while keeping an eye on them from a corner of the hall.
