I am not a returner Episode 402:
Summoning Order (2)
“Okay then, let’s go beat up that stupid guy!”
Ha-eun grinned and clenched her fists.
I was going straight to Italy, even if I had to swim the sea.
“No, not right now.”
Oh Jin shook his head quietly.
Although the people gathered here were powerful people who would not be surprised if they wiped out a country, they could not just recklessly charge into a city where Moebius had already established itself and was fully prepared for battle.
“What do you plan to do?”
“Even if I don’t do anything, they will contact me first.”
“That one?”
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Did they say that even tigers will come if you tell them what to do?
The smartphone I had in my pocket vibrated.
The name that appeared on the screen was Manager Han, as expected.
“yes.”
-Oh Mr. Ojin! Italy now…!
“I saw the news too.”
Moebius did not single out one person, Ojin, but declared war on all of these awakened people who received the ‘Blessing of the Stars’, so other people must have watched the same broadcast as he did.
With the global chaos, it was natural that the association would immediately contact us.
-Currently, a summons has been issued from the Seven Star Council regarding this incident.
Order to convene the Seven Star Council.
A summons order that requires all awakened people with the title of ‘Seven Stars’ to set aside what they are doing and gather without exception.
Of course, it was free to refuse the summons, but in that case, the title of ‘Chilseong’ would be taken away, so it was actually a semi-compulsory order.
Although it is said to be a semi-compulsory order, in fact it only exists in name only, and since the creation of the actual ‘Chilseong’, no formal convocation order has been declared.
This was because beings called ‘Chilseong’ were not easy enough to obediently follow someone else’s orders.
If (even if that is unlikely) one of the members of the Seven Stars becomes dissatisfied with the summons and leaves, the Seven Stars Council would be criticized worldwide, so who would dare to issue a summons so rashly?
‘The summons was issued.’
This means that this incident brought shock to the whole world.
‘Well, if it’s natural, it’s natural.’
Within hours of the raid, the country’s capital burned to the ground.
What if Italy, like the countries of the American continent, suffered a crushing blow from the ‘first crack’ incident and lost half of its national functions?
The United States, Russia-China alliance, and the European Union.
Among the powers currently dividing world power into thirds, Italy was a country that played a central role in the European Union along with the United Kingdom.
Since the capital of such a country burned down overnight, it would be natural for global chaos to occur.
“Where can we gather?”
-First of all, it is a sanctuary…
It was the perfect place for the ‘Seven Stars’ scattered across the country to gather in one place.
Access to the sanctuary was possible through gates that were open all over the world like roots.
-The other Chilseongs have all expressed their intention to participate… What will Mr. Oh Jin do?
“I have to go.”
This case cannot be solved alone.
No matter how powerful each member of Ojin’s group is, the six of them cannot enter and fight in a city occupied by hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts.
‘Even among them, Riak and Vega are restricted and have difficulty using their true powers.’
The only ones that can be said to have real strength are Ojin, Haeun, Isabella, and Cassia.
Of course, three of them were 11-star and one of them was a monster party with the power of a 10-star in terms of firepower alone, but even so, it was impossible to fight the ‘war’ with only 4 people.
‘Even more so if the purpose is to rescue captured hostages.’
Only after the power of the ‘Seven Stars’ scattered all over the world come together in one place will the rescue operation be able to be carried out.
-All right. Then, I will see you in front of the sanctuary by 3 PM.
“Is Manager Han coming too?”
-Sure. Well… Even though he doesn’t commute to work, isn’t Mr. Oh Jin formally a member of the association?
“ah.”
That’s right, now that I think about it, I belong to the association, right?
As I was not commuting to and from work every time and just received the monthly salary, I even forgot that I belonged to the association.
-No way… you forgot, right?
“Oh, it can’t possibly be like that.”
-Let’s see, Mr. Oh Jin, how much your next salary will be…
“Shall we meet in advance and have lunch, Manager? “I’ll take a shot.”
-haha. I will receive that once this case is successfully concluded.
“I know a really famous house. “The menu is diverse.”
I don’t know if you’ve heard of Kimbap Heaven.
-Yes, I’m looking forward to it. Then, I’ll see you in front of the sanctuary at 3 o’clock.
The phone was disconnected.
Oh Jin checked the time on the smartphone screen.
The time displayed on the digital clock was just past 12 PM.
“…3 hours later.”
It was definitely a short time to bring together the big names called ‘Chilseong’.
Since the matter is serious, everyone will quickly head to the sanctuary.
“Let’s get ready and go out.”
As Ojin said that, he turned around.
Kuuk.
Isabella held his collar and lowered her head.
“…Thank you, Oh Jin.”
“What are you thankful for?”
“Thank you for listening to my stubbornness.”
Isabella, as if the shock had not yet subsided, tried to put on a smile on her listless expression.
“I know very well that this is a Moebius trap. But…”
“I know.”
Ojin chuckled and stroked Isabella’s hair.
The reason why Isabella asked to ‘save’ the captured people even though she knew it was clearly the enemy’s goal.
Even Ojin had an idea as to the reason.
That was the place where I first met Isabella.
“Is it because of the gypsies?”
“…!”
Isabella opened her eyes wide with a surprised expression.
“How did Oh Jin do that…?”
“Even after you came to live with me, you often went to Italy to do volunteer work.”
A huge gypsy village located in Rome, Italy.
Isabella was running several shelters there under the name of Colgrande.
A facility that provides warm food and a place to sleep to poor Gypsies who have nowhere to go.
Isabella said that the place was no different from a factory where ‘blood’ was provided to the gypsies in the name of protection.
‘If that were the case, there would have been no reason to go and do volunteer work in person even after drinking my blood.’
Although Isabella tries to show herself as a cool-headed ‘queen’ with no trace of humanity on the outside.
Oh Jin himself knew best that she had a softer and kinder heart than anyone else.
“Oh, did you know?!”
“Then I knew.”
“Who said that!”
“I heard it from Roberto.”
“How could you, Roberto…!”
Isabella, who had been betrayed(?) by her most trusted subordinate, stamped her feet with a red face.
A grin flowed from Oh Jin’s lips.
“Ha… I really can’t stop you.”
Cassia shook her head as if she couldn’t stop him.
“After becoming the head of the family, how can you be obsessed with such personal affection… isn’t it a waste of the name Colgrande?”
Although he scolded Isabella and scolded her.
There was a smile that couldn’t be hidden on Cassia’s lips.
She asked, leaning in close to Ojin.
“Then do you plan to unite the power of the Seven Stars?”
“It’s exactly the power they have.”
This is beyond what a few high-level awakened people can solve with a small number of people.
What he needs now is great power.
To be exact, it was a high-level ‘army’ that would block the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts occupying the city.
“Hmm. “Who was Chilseong that Oh Jin was friends with?”
“Mr. Allen, Mr. Baek Mu-gang, and…”
A green-haired woman with the stigmata of Gemini.
We didn’t meet often enough to be considered ‘close’, but at least we weren’t like the other three without seeing each other once.
“Rebecca Bell. “I know these three.”
“They are Mugokseong, Cheonkwonseong, and Nokjonseong.”
Cassia asked, touching her red lips with her index finger.
“Oh Jin, you said what you need is ‘power,’ right?”
“that’s right.”
“Hmm.”
Cassia’s eyebrows furrowed as if something was wrong.
“…Then we’re in a bit of trouble.”
“what?”
Are you in trouble?
Even if I’m not friends with everyone, I’m still friends with 3 out of 6 people, so what’s the problem?
“Mugokseong has something that can be called a force to some extent… but Cheonjeongseong and Nokjonseong have nothing that can be called a force at all.”
“what?”
No, but does it make sense that the Awakened One, who has the title ‘Seven Stars’, has no power at all?
“Oh my, is it time to react like someone else said? Oh Jin, you don’t really have anything that can be called a power.”
“ah.”
Sharp criticism gets to the bottom of the problem and strikes at you.
As Cassia said, there was nothing in Ojin that could be called ‘power’.
Even though he was part of the association, he only ‘belonged’ to the extent that Ohjin did not have the final decision-making authority.
“I have you guys, right?”
“Oh my, that sounds like something from a boy’s cartoon. “When I was young, I often read it without my parents knowing.”
“Noisy.”
ha.
He dropped his shoulders with a deep sigh.
Of these, Isabella was the one who had what could be called ‘power’, but it was impossible to use the power of the Colgrande family since Rome, the origin of the Colgrande family, had been reduced to ashes.
‘Then, now I have to somehow gather the power of the other Seven Stars.’
In fact, except for Allen and Rebecca, whom I already knew, I knew almost nothing about the other three ‘Seven Stars’.
Before awakening, I thought of stigmata as something from another world, so I didn’t pay any attention to it. After awakening, I was so busy finding my future that I couldn’t pay attention to it.
“Hmm. “You don’t seem to know much, so I’ll explain it to you.”
Cassia continued speaking, extending her index finger.
“First of all, Bianca Bennett from England. As an awakened person with the stigmata of Aries, I enjoy wandering around the world like a wanderer, so I also have no power.”
Then the middle finger was extended.
“Secondly, Edward Walton from the United States. As a Sagittarius awakened person, he is also active as a businessman who owns several large companies in the United States. “Perhaps the Colgrande family should take a step back when it comes to financial resources?”
“Then there must be something to call a force.”
“But… the problem is the characteristics of the United States.”
American characteristics?
“The United States is the country with the largest number of high-ranking awakened people in the world, but because everyone values freedom so much, there is no organized force like the ‘army’ that Ohjin wants. “At best, it’s just a small group of mercenaries.”
“Hmm.”
A soft sigh flowed from between Ojin’s lips.
“And finally, Alina Vladimir, a native of Russia. “This is the person that Oh Jin needs to recruit as a top priority.”
“How much power do you have?”
“….”
Cassia, who paused for a moment in response to Ohjin’s question, soon opened her mouth with a short sigh.
“National song.”
…what?
“She currently serves as commander-in-chief of the Russian-Chinese alliance forces.”
