Chapter 47 : Throwing Money, You Have Some Too (5)

[Hunter Gallery.]

[Title: Is this real?]

[Title: ??? Is the committee announcement real?]

[Title: Gumiho: I make my appearance.]

[Title: Money Sprinkle, you should take some too, lol]

[Title: Is it true that Gumiho is holding a fan meeting? Lol]

After the committee’s announcement, the community went wild.

Most of the reactions in the community were positive.

Of course, there were occasionally some negative responses, but…[Title: Is this Gumiho pulling some trick?]

[What’s this about restraint, it probably won’t even work, stop talking nonsense.]

[Comments.]

Yeah, what can you even do~.

Hey!

Sung Myungho Ham made the decision, no complaints!

└ Even if you have complaints, what can you do about it? Are you going to challenge an S-rank? Lol.

Are you going to compensate the victims?

Or are you going to pay more taxes?

Lol, whether they help or not, Gumiho must be hated by the world.

└ Hey, don’t hate them, you need to show respect!!

└ Lol, they’re just really kind.

Thank goodness Gumiho doesn’t have a phone, if they did, they’d probably have disappeared from the map of the Korean Peninsula by now, seriously. Lol.

└ Yep, seeing these idiots makes me so mad, I’d just break everything lol.

└ Oh, Shinhwa Guild, stay out of it, if you don’t want to die.

└ Choi Mo: T-Thank you.

But, with Gumiho’s power, why would they go through all this scheming?

Why not just barge in?

└ Seriously lol.

└ This is the right approach.

After going through all sorts of insults, there were plenty of cases where Gumiho ended up being posted as a meme.

Even the community hostile towards Gumiho was now hesitating to speak ill of them.

[Title: Summary of the Committee Announcement.]

For the idiots who still don’t get it, here’s the breakdown.

1. We’re canceling the delay on the restoration project because we’ve been lacking funds.

2. Gumiho will compensate the victims, so gather in front of the tower.

They even said they’ll come out with a restraint order to reassure us.

Gumiho: Money sprinkle, you should take some too.

3. They’ll give more than the previous compensation amount, so get ready for your bank accounts to explode.

Conclusion: What are you doing? Not worshiping Gumiho? Everyone kneel down, seriously. Lol.

[Comments.]

Wow~.

Honestly, anyone still doubting is crazy.

└ Aren’t the ones who are daydreaming before the money even comes in the real fools?

└ Fool.

I love you, Gumiho~.

└ Don’t just love them, worship them~.

└ (Long live the sun!)

But why do they want to come out personally?

└ They probably don’t have any feelings, just want to apologize directly.

└ Lol, if you just throw money at them, you wouldn’t feel any attachment, but since they’re a Korean monster, they must be overflowing with feelings.

[Title: Committee Support Cut, Nearly Took My Life, But Then I Smiled Brightly After the Announcement.]

I really lost my house, all my property turned to scrap paper, and I cried a lot, but I saw the announcement now.

Really, really thank you.

The victim confirmation post is in my post history, so please check it.

Anyway, really, thank you.

[Comments.]

‘Kind Gumiho’s Tower’ really lives up to the nickname.

└ For some reason, this time the system didn’t mess with the name, seriously lol.

Oh, worship them.

└(Gumiho holding a wine glass and toasting)

Oh, it’s you, sis.

└(Gumiho holding a wine glass and toasting)

Various information and thank-you posts about the situation circulated, and people celebrated.

The atmosphere felt like a toast, celebrating how neatly the damage caused by the Tower creation was resolved after so many years.

While reading those posts, Hanseong smiled contentedly on his bed.

“…I hope Gumiho can see these reactions too.”

“I’ll show them later.”

Thinking that, Hanseong took screenshots of the posts.

He filtered out the bad ones and only looked at the positive ones, smiling with satisfaction.

Then, a phone call came through.

“Hello?”

[…Master, I still haven’t received approval for the magic and tuition bill I sent earlier?]

“…I forgot.”

[Hey…!! Because of that, I had to cancel my class today, you know?!]

It was a call from Chanseok, who was giving a lecture at the guild’s seminar room.

Hanseong awkwardly smiled and spoke.

“I, I’ll just give you a rough approval over the phone, so go ahead and buy it.”

[Ha… Hang up, you crazy person.]

“I’m, I’m sorry…”

Click!

The phone was abruptly hung up before Hanseong could finish his sentence.

Only then did Hanseong sheepishly take out the documents and stamp them for approval.

***

“I never thought this would happen. I’m so surprised.”

People were flocking to the chat and throwing questions at him.

He scratched his head and started answering the questions he knew.

“You’re really coming out, right??”

“Is this notice real?”

“Wait, a fan meeting??!”

“Y, yes, it’s true that I’ll be going out. If the notice came up, it must be real.”

“And it’s not a fan meeting… Only the people who were harmed by me will come to receive compensation, and the committee will manage it.”

“…Is it safe?”

One chat asked if it was safe.

It seemed like a victim who came to him after reading the notice.

‘…Is it meaningful to ask me?’

Even while thinking that, he smiled and reassured them.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of hurting anyone, so please feel at ease.”

“But how are you coming out? Just with no protection?”

“I’ve never been this excited for a Tower Break.”

“I’m kind of excited, I hope you come out soon.”

“I know I shouldn’t be like this, but I’m too excited, I must have lost my mind.”

Many messages expressing excitement flooded the chat.

Hanseong smiled awkwardly while reading those messages.

‘…I’m grateful they believe in me, but I never expected them to be this excited about me actually going out. It’s a little scary.’

If he were the same person as them, he would have definitely thought they were under some kind of spell.

It was at that moment.

“Well, I’m not sure how I’m going to get out.”

“I requested that they let me out with the use of a binding bracelet.”

?

You’ll wear a binding bracelet yourself?

“Yes, I think I’ll need quite a few of them.”

A binding bracelet is an item that makes it impossible to release magic and restricts movement.

It’s a relatively weaker magical tool than the one the Spirit had worn before, so there’s no need to be afraid.

‘It’ll just make it a little harder to move.’

“I won’t be dangerous, so don’t worry. After all, who stabbed me when I was unarmed? Maybe because I was so sturdy, the knife bent.”

He had once bent Hanseong’s dagger.

Of course, he fixed it afterward.

“If the difference in power is too great, I can’t do much.”

Hanseong smiled as he said that, and the chat was flooded with messages like “ 😯😯😯” (shocked).

“Ahem, I’ll wear the binding bracelet so you all can feel at ease.”

“I don’t want to scare anyone, and I hope you see it as me showing my will.”

Then, viewers sent thumbs-up emojis.

“…I want to communicate more with you all.”

“When the broadcast isn’t on, I still want to see your reactions.”

Well, of course, the public opinion on the internet is probably a mess right now.

I’d like to see every single reaction.

Since the broadcast only gives me biased information, it’s not like there’s anyone here who dislikes me.

People are here because they like me, so I guess that’s why.

‘If I had a phone or something, I could at least check the community reactions.’

I used to do that a lot.

I’d search for myself online, check what I could improve, and accept feedback when there were posts about it.

Though, I mostly did it when I was feeling seriously down, so it wasn’t always helpful.

‘…Now that I think about it, it might be better not to check.’

Still, I kind of want one.

I’d like to stay in touch with the Hunters.

Hunter phones have magical stones embedded in them, so they can interact with the outside world even while inside the tower.

Of course, they’re incredibly expensive, so only top-tier Hunters can afford them.

As I thought about that, I looked at the chat, where the messages were clearly flustered, with people trembling.

Ah, ah, maybe it’s better not to look?

Yeah, for real, don’t look, right?

It does feel like it’s better not to, huh?

No need to look at it, really.

Eh, but why?

‘…Looks like there are still a lot of posts cursing at me.’

‘Well, I’m a monster, so it can’t be helped.’

But still, I want to see it with my own eyes and check it for myself.

“Well, if you all say so, I guess I don’t need to be curious about it.”

I said that with a smile, trying to reassure everyone.

The chat finally settled down.

“Oh, right. I plan to take a friend with me when I go outside.”

The chat, which had just settled down, went crazy again after my comment.

???

Please, please, please, tell me it’s the Sword Demon!

Is Death Knight coming?

Is Death Knight coming?

Is Death Knight coming?

It’s the Sword Demon, right?

The Sword Demon, right?

The Sword Demon, right?

Knight Ham, Knight Ham, Knight Ham, Knight Ham.

The chat was filling up at an astonishing speed, with everyone chanting.

Among them, I saw the Hwarang (a group of warriors).

‘…Poor Hwarang.’

Of course, considering how long this monster has hurt Koreans, it makes sense.

If we held a popularity poll for top monsters in our tower, I bet Hwarang would come last, beaten even by skeletons.

While imagining that, I beckoned the Spirit , who was trembling in the corner of my room, to come closer.

“Come here.”

“…Nyeh…”

The voice cracked, but even without seeing the figure, people were able to recognize who it was from the voice alone.

Is that the Spirit?!

It’s the spirit~.

That one from before?

Is it healthy now?

People were eagerly anticipating.

I hugged Stella tightly in my arms and showed her to the viewers.

“Isn’t she cute?”

“…Ah, hello…….”

The Spirit, Stella, was trembling but still bowed her head.

As soon as the viewers saw how cute she was, the chat started to flood at an incredible speed.
