Opportunity in the Game Becomes Reality Episode 302
Epilogue
[Supreme Commander Adrian El Lawrence's operation worked perfectly. By annihilating the Heavenly King and the Demon King, the core of the enemy forces, in one stroke, he quickly cemented the victory.]
[The heroes who saved the world, Adrian, the leader of the heroes who saved the world.]
[A great victory that will adorn the main page of history! Rondel and Earth joined forces to seize the future!]
-Adrian hyung-nim! Take me! Waaah!
└From beginning to end, it was a war that started with Adrian and ended with Adrian.
-That kind of person is a true hero.
-I actually witnessed a moment of history.
-Are we safe now? Is the crisis over?
└Yes!
The war was won.
Naturally, the world celebrated the victory and fell into a festive mood, and Earthlings and Rondelians embraced each other and cheered.
As if they had won the World Cup.
The festive mood lasted for several days, and it was only after ten days that the cleanup began.
The first measure taken was for the victims.
In this process, Adrian spent his personal fortune to pay out massive compensation, ensuring that the families of the fallen could live without hardship while feeling pride.
[The war heroes will be remembered forever. Adrian El Lawrence, monuments for the war heroes and victims will be erected all over the world....]
The next measure was to expand the World Peace Organization, the bridge connecting the two worlds of Rondel and Earth.
War hero Adrian insisted that the organization be expanded to more than double its size, and with the absolute support of people around the world, he achieved his goal.
The role of the World Peace Organization is to be a mediator for exchange and peace between the two worlds.
As a result, a monster organization was created, equivalent to merging existing major international bodies such as the UN, WTO, WHO, IMF, and Interpol into one.
Naturally, with its expanded size, the World Peace Organization was able to actively intervene in each nation.
As a result, starting wars for reasons of religion, ideology, or national interest became extremely difficult.
To wage war, the organization's permission was required, and to obtain this permission, the consent of member nations was necessary.
The world was reorganized around Adrian.
Some considered this for the best, and some considered it unreasonable, but after the World Peace Organization's rise to power, Rondel and Earth entered a golden age and achieved remarkable development, so everyone kept their mouths shut and had to follow the flow.
As time passed, the fervor over the war's victory subsided.
The world adapted to the changes.
And as the era came when the story of the war that began in space was seen more in textbooks than on broadcasts, the second generation of the world's major figures began to appear on the stage of history.
* * *
Twenty years after the allied forces of Rondel and Earth won the war against the armies of the Heavenly Tribe and demon race.
"Director! A dungeon break has occurred in Cairo, Egypt!"
"Who is the nearest field agent?"
"I'm sorry. We can't confirm."
"Hoo, then I suppose we have no choice but to ask the sun god Ra."
A peculiar organization was established under the World Peace Organization.
It is called the Hunter Management Bureau, which oversees Earth's hunting grounds and dungeons.
The importance of this organization came to the fore when 'dungeon breaks' began occurring, in which monsters periodically poured out of dungeons and caused damage to civilians.
The Hunter Management Bureau marked its 18th anniversary this year, and it was composed of Earth's Gift users and mercenaries centered on Rondel's Knights and Mages.
"Contact Ra."
"Yes, Director."
The current Director of the Hunter Management Bureau was the third generation.
However, she was a woman far too young and beautiful to be the head of a prestigious international organization, yet no one expressed dissatisfaction with her rank.
The reason was that she was not only a genius who reached the 8th Circle at the age of 21, but also belonged to Rondel's Imperial household.
[Who is this?]
"Hello. I apologize for contacting you so suddenly. I am Emilia Lawrence, Director of the Hunter Management Bureau."
[How troublesome. What business does the Hunter Management Bureau have with me?]
"Well...."
[No, wait. Did you just say Lawrence?]
"Yes, that's right. Haha."
Her name is Emilia Lawrence.
She was the younger sibling of Adrian El Lawrence, the owner of the world's smallest Empire and its most powerful Empire.
[The Lawrence I know?]
"Probably, yes."
[Hmm, hmm, what is it?]
The surname attached to her name was like a cheat key, so wherever she went, introducing herself brought the same reaction.
Even the mythical beings known as Transcendents raised their speech in respect simply because she was the owner of the Lawrence surname.
"A dungeon break has occurred in Cairo, Egypt. There are no Hunters available to dispatch right now, so I contacted you despite the embarrassment to request Support. I would like to ask you to protect lives until the Hunters are dispatched."
[What, is there any need to wait for Support? I'll just clean it up myself.]
"Pardon? Then I'm grateful, but...."
[Give my regards to Adrian-nim.]
"Ah, understood."
It was clearly an emergency, yet the emergency was resolved far too easily, and everyone in the Management Bureau's situation room had to let out a hollow laugh.
"Wow, you're the most perfect at handling things among all the Directors in history."
"Director, you're the best!"
There was no handling of things, really.
The incident was resolved simply by mentioning her name.
All of this was thanks to her accomplished older brother.
But Emilia did not find this situation altogether pleasant.
No matter what she did, she could not escape her brother's shadow.
She let out a small sigh and sat down.
"Director, may I ask you one thing?"
Emilia, who had been creating cold water in the air and drinking it because she was thirsty, tilted her head at the youngest staff officer's question and permitted it.
"By any chance, do you have a relative who does idol activities?"
"Cough!"
And what followed was a completely unexpected question.
She choked and coughed.
"What do you mean, suddenly?"
"These days there's a K-pop girl group that's really rising, called Siren. There's a young lady there who looks exactly like you, Director, except for her eye and hair color. I think her name was 'Shia.'"
Emilia's relative meant, in other words, the Imperial Family.
Because it meant a relative of Adrian El Lawrence, the world's most powerful man.
An idol from such a family the youngest staff officer seemed embarrassed even after asking, and smiled awkwardly.
Emilia shrugged at the question, as if to say that couldn't be.
"Well, I don't know."
However, Emilia's reaction was far too unnatural.
Her eyes shook violently, and she even stuttered.
Thanks to that, the youngest staff officer tilted his head.
* * *
Siren.
A recently rising four-member rookie K-pop girl group.
With a unique concept that alternates between girl crush and innocence, their fans were evenly distributed between men and women, and even though the agency was new, it was an unusual place that spared no expense on songs, choreography, costumes, and music videos.
There were many things to nitpick, from the concept to the agency with its mysterious capital, but strangely, it was hard to find anyone online insulting Siren, and they were famous as a group with almost no antis.
Anyone familiar with the idol industry would know how close to impossible that is.
Because of this, Siren's existence was considered mysterious even among industry insiders.
"What sin did I commit in a past life to be doing idol work again?"
"You're an Ain, so you're still young and lively. I'm dancing in the body of a human in her forties."
"What does age matter? Thanks to Adrian, you don't age either, same as me."
"That's true, but, haa.... What grudge does this household have against us that it keeps putting us on stage?"
The Siren members each had beauty and individuality that lacked nothing.
However, there was no way people could know that half the members had already debuted as idols twenty years ago.
The four-member girl group Siren.
Of these, three were Maryang, Bug, and Miel, once called the goddesses of South America.
Their faces were subtly changed, however, and this was a measure to avoid revealing one member's amusement.
"Aunts! What are you doing?"
It was because this was the group belonging to Kalisia El Lawrence, Adrian's daughter.
If this fact were known, everyone at the broadcasting station would look at them with faces stricken with terror.
Such was the weight carried by Adrian's name, and to ordinary people, he was an existence above the heavens.
Maryang and Bug, at the question from Kalisia who was active under the stage name 'Shia' furrowed their brows and spoke.
"Who calls a fellow member 'Aunt'?"
"Ah! Sorry. Force of habit."
"You know that if anyone finds out, the idol play is over too, right? So be careful."
Because they had played together with Kalisia since she was young, they were no different from family.
So of course they went along with this absurd antic.
"Siren, please stand by!"
Just then, a staff member from the music show Siren was to appear on flung open the door to their waiting room and shouted.
At that, Alex an Imperial Guard Knight of the Lawrence Empire and now Siren's manager furrowed his brow, but under Kalisia's gaze he had to smile as if he had never done so.
'What in the world am I doing here.'
Alex lamented his lot along with Maryang and Bug.
The only difference from those two was that he could not dare voice his complaints out loud.
"Let's go!"
Kalisia, looking thoroughly excited, led the members who found it tiresome down the waiting room hallway, exchanging warm greetings with numerous idol seniors and juniors.
But then.
"Hey, what kind of greeting is that?"
"Huh?"
Some female singer picked a fight with the Siren members.
"Huuuh? You don't know who we are?"
"You're the seniors from the group Range."
"If you know that, how can you hold your neck so stiff?"
They were troublemakers from the girl group Range who had caused several scandals related to personality.
Perhaps because something had soured their mood, they needlessly poked at the innocent Siren.
Watching that, Manager Alex, far from being flustered, wore a dumbfounded expression.
To him, the actions of the girl group Range looked like nothing but suicide.
"U-um, sorry."
Kalisia was an existence who had inherited the power of Adrian and Arcia in full.
If she were to so much as flick them on the forehead, this place would turn into a hell flowing with brain matter.
But Kalisia merely bowed her head with an innocent smile, entirely nonchalant.
"Ha.... Their behavior is strangely relaxed. The other kids don't even open their mouths. Interesting, seeing thoughtless idiots like these after so long."
"You b...."
In the end, Manager Alex, thinking something might blow up if he left things as they were, stepped in.
No, he tried to step in.
Because an unexpected figure barged in first, there was no need for him to intervene.
"Daughter!"
It was because Adrian and Arcia had appeared without even covering their faces, holding a large cannon camera and a light stick.
The sight was so surreal that the surroundings fell into silence.
The music show Siren was appearing on today was a year-end program.
Because of that, Adrian and Arcia had come out to cheer on their daughter's activities in their own way, but to those around them it only gifted terror.
"...."
Manager Alex stealthily looked at the girl group members who had picked a fight with Kalisia El Lawrence.
They were standing there, unconscious.
"You should have at least covered your faces before coming."
"Hm? Do we have to?"
"What do you think is the reason the aunts changed their faces."
"Ah, sorry...."
Kalisia let out a deep sigh as she looked at her sullen parents.
The world's strongest, greatest existence, Adrian.
Even he was an ordinary father before his daughter.
