Fan Signing Event (2)

Fan Signing Event (2)

 

— 

[Ha-eun’s Fan Signing Event Scheduled 

 

– Tomorrow from 1 PM, a fan signing event will be held directly by Ha-eun, Chae-a, Yuna, and Seo-a! 

We would appreciate it if those interested could come to Ha-eun’s lair! 

 

* Note – As this is not an official fan signing event, but rather an event to give the children a fun experience. 

The event may end early if the children’s energy is depleted or if they don’t want to continue signing.] 

 

ㄴ ?!?! Ha-eun’s fan signing event? I’m going right now. 

ㄴ Wow hahaha Hunter life is usually boring, annoying, and frustrating, but they’re creating such an awesome fun event? 

ㄴ Ha-eun must be so cute ㅠㅠ Ah, I’ll stick the autograph on the back of my phone when I get it.

A post uploaded to the Hunter community. 

Usually, for the sake of fairness, personal stories were rarely posted as announcements. 

However, this post was exceptionally placed in the announcements. 

 

‘There are various reasons, but among the major ones are.’ 

 

The fact that Ha-eun has brought about significant positive changes, and that Ha-eun is not an official hunter, so she’s not a target of jealousy. 

And because if anyone messes with Ha-eun, no one knows what the dragons, known as the old guard, might do. 

Those who value their lives… no, all hunters belonging to the association didn’t particularly have any complaints about this behavior. 

 

‘They might even think it’s a good thing.’ 

 

Whenever Ha-eun and the other three children appeared, the tense atmosphere would loosen up. 

Because they tended to create a warm and friendly atmosphere, they were like the only hope in this profession where accidents frequently occur.

 

Ha-eun smiled with satisfaction as she watched the number of people saying they would come continue to grow. 

… Yes, she had smiled. 

Until hundreds of people flocked to Ha-eun’s lair. 

 

* * * * * 

 

I had a blank expression on my face as I saw countless people waving at me. 

To be honest, unlike my expectation that at most 20 people would come, the actual number of people who showed up was roughly in the hundreds. 

 

Just when the confusion was intensifying due to the excessive number of people. 

The Spirit User Uncle, who had been waiting for us nearby, laughed and explained the situation. 

 

“Ha-eun, they say there’s going to be a signing event. Even people who are off today have all come.” 

“…?” 

 

Is it okay even though it’s a day off…? 

While I was at a loss for what to do with this excessive attention, someone called out to me in a gentle voice. 

 

“Ha-eun, look over here just once!” 

 

As I instinctively turned my gaze at those words, I heard the sound of camera clicks. 

As I thought about how I really felt like I had become an idol, hugging my tail in embarrassment. 

Han A-rin patted my back and smiled brightly. 

 

“Don’t worry too much. Your big sister is right here with you.” 

“Yes…” 

“Shall we go sign then? Did you practice a lot?” 

 

I nodded awkwardly. 

Han A-rin smiled brightly and headed towards the pre-prepared chairs while saying. 

 

“If you ever feel tired or don’t want to do it anymore, just let me know, okay?”

“Yes…!” 

“Well then, shall we begin?” 

 

Han A-rin continued speaking as she placed a pen with a soft-looking grip into my hand. 

 

“But I think your hand might hurt after a while…” 

 

As I was thinking that this could somehow be overcome with willpower and giggling, 

Chae-a, Yuna, and Seo-a belatedly arrived at my side and each added a comment. 

 

“Chae-a practiced a lot…! Can draw a hundred worms twice!” 

“That’s right. Can sign a lot.” 

“Yeah.” 

 

Everyone seems ready to go. 

Thinking I could do this all day at this rate, I received the first fan(?). 

 

“It’s me.” 

 

The one who appeared was Perseus. 

Perseus, with a somewhat brazen expression, held out a plate made of magic stone to us and asked for signatures. 

 

“Please.” 

 

I blinked in surprise at Perseus’s appearance, but 

The other kids didn’t seem to mind as they giggled while gripping their pens and scribbling something. 

 

‘Chae-a’s is a worm drawing, Yuna’s is a neat signature like I saw earlier, and Seo-a’s is an unidentifiable squiggly line.’ 

 

Thinking it’s nice that each has its own personality, I also started drawing my signature following the other kids. 

 

“You write quite well. Ah, I’d like you to draw a heart below it too.”

“…!?” 

 

Let’s quickly fulfill this strange request that came up, as it wasn’t particularly difficult. 

Perseus spoke to us, looking very satisfied. 

 

“I look forward to working with you in the future. Next time, strive to draw two hearts.” 

“…?” 

 

While I was looking at Perseus with a frowning expression, Han A-rin and Seo-rin appeared. 

I was wondering why those two were standing there, and as I stared at their faces blankly, they explained to me as if making excuses. 

 

“We wanted to get Ha-eun’s autograph too, sis.” 

“Isn’t it fun?” 

 

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand the reason. 

Thinking it would be best to quickly give them the autographs, I started drawing them. 

They seemed very satisfied and disappeared somewhere. 

 

“Hey, what’s this? I came for an autograph too. Can you do one here for me?” 

 

The next to appear was Seong Na-yeon. 

Seong Na-yeon, looking somewhat embarrassed, handed each of us small dolls while speaking. 

 

It seemed a bit challenging, but not impossible, so I started writing on them. 

While I was doing this, Seong Na-yeon looked at me, cleared her throat, and said to us. 

 

“Um, you can keep those. They’re gifts.” 

 

Then she disappeared somewhere without waiting for our response. 

As I was blinking my eyes, thinking that inexplicable things kept happening one after another, this time some people whose faces I didn’t recognize held out papers to us. 

 

Thinking that now we could finally have a proper autograph session, I was diligently signing. 

A hunter who came for an autograph spoke to us with a very happy-looking face.

 

“I’m really healing these days thanks to Ha-eun. Oh, look at those cheeks, so cute. Doesn’t she look like a rice cake stuck on? It’s just too adorable, right? Kyaa, how can a rice cake hamster be talking to me!” 

 

Can I… have a proper fan signing event…? 

I realized that the condition of the hunters coming to visit was a bit strange, and I had a blank expression. 

 

‘Come to think of it, is it natural? I’ve heard that the life of a hunter is extremely difficult.’ 

 

While I was feeling uneasy, thinking that this might be how they relieve stress. 

Han A-rin, who had approached from the side, chuckled and said to the hunter. 

 

“Ha-eun does resemble a hamster, doesn’t she?” 

“That’s right!” 

 

Watching the two of them getting excited, I thought about the essence of fan signing events. 

 

‘After all, fan signing events are held in hopes that those who come will be happy.’ 

 

As I was thinking that it would be good to accommodate this. 

Yuna, who was standing next to me, stared blankly at the visitor and said. 

 

“Ha-eun also looks like a white bear.” 

 

Hearing that, Seo-a, who was nearby, sparkled her eyes and said with a giggle. 

 

“Bear…!” 

 

Come to think of it, Yuna really liked bears. 

I was thinking that it might be because even though they live in cold places, they have warm fur, so just being next to them gives a great sense of security, when. 

The fan nodded and said. 

 

“That’s right, that’s right. Yuna, you know your stuff, don’t you?” 

 

Yuna, happy to be praised, nods her head while wagging her tail and ears.

I thought Yuna’s reaction was cute and finished signing with a giggle.

Had we signed for about ten people? 

We couldn’t help but show our embarrassment when we realized we weren’t making as much progress as we thought. 

 

‘With hundreds of people waiting, we’ve only managed to do ten…’ 

 

No matter how optimistically we tried to think about it, we realized we couldn’t possibly do it for all hundreds of people. 

As I was pondering what to do about this fact. 

Seo-rin raised her phone and made a suggestion to us. 

 

“There’s a comment on the fan signing event post asking if we could do handprints instead of signatures?” 

 

At the mention of handprints, my gaze met with Chae-a’s, Yuna’s, and Seo-a’s. 

Seo-rin giggled at our reaction and explained further. 

 

“They say if we dip our palms in paint and stamp them quickly, it would be faster and the recipients would be really happy.” 

 

Hearing this, I nodded vigorously with sparkling eyes. 

It was an excellent idea even from my perspective! 

I smiled, thinking we had found a way to resolve the current situation. 

 

Since what we needed right away was paint. 

Just as we were about to go look for some, Perseus somehow brought us some high-quality paint and said. 

 

“I picked this up on the way.” 

 

For something picked up on the way, it looked very clean and expensive. 

Although I had some thoughts about this, what mattered now was using this paint to make handprints for others, so I put aside my doubts and started squeezing it out. 

 

‘Maybe this will work somehow…?’

 

The four of us thought that if we each did one person at a time, it wouldn’t take as long as we expected, so we quickly pressed our palms onto the paper.

After a while of pressing our palms like that.

Chae-a made a suggestion to us.

 

“Hey, Chae-a wants to do it with her foot too!”

 

At those words about wanting to stamp with her foot, I blinked in surprise.

While hands were one thing, using feet could be seen as disrespectful.

So I was about to say no, but.

 

“Me, me! Let me do it first!”

 

Seo-rin raised her hand and strongly promoted herself, creating an atmosphere of acceptance.
