‘It worked.’

Yeon-woo nodded after examining his pocket watch with Draconic Eyes.
It seemed like the attainment of metallurgy-related skills had finally allowed him to view its information.
But of course, even if it was open, there was not much he could read.
‘I still have a long way to go.’
But just as the idiom ‘Well begun is half done’ said, now that he had it open, the only thing remaining was to gain more knowledge and skills to enhance Draconic Eyes.
The moment he was smiling at his achievement,
“What are you doing here alone…?”
Yeon-woo heard a voice from behind.
He quickly put his pocket watch back into his pocket.
In the meantime, Phante and Edora came and sat next to Yeon-woo.

As if he still wasn’t used to using honorifics, Phante’s end of the sentence was spoken unclearly.
Edora smiled and spoke after a sip of her coffee.
“Cain ‘Oraboni’ isn’t like you, Phante ‘Oppa’. He was probably mapping out the strategy to climb up The Tower. Isn’t that right?”
(TN: Oppa is a Korean term used by females when referring to males older than them. Oraboni is a more polite way of saying Oppa.)
She said with a broad smile.
But unlike her smile,
“…?”
Yeon-woo was showing a puzzled face as if he had heard something wrong.
“Oraboniii?!?”
And Phante looked disgusted at the sound of his sister’s kittenish voice he had never heard in his life.

But Edora kept her smile on her face and continued.
“If you are hyung to my brother Phante, you are also oraboni to me. Or is there any other term you want me to call you?”
Phante blew his top at Edora’s response.
“Not fair! Then call me oraboni too!”
“Why would I?”
Edora lightly snorted at Phante.
It was a distinctly different attitude compared to the one she had when talking to Yeon-woo.
Phante was struck dumb and stared at Edora in bewilderment, but Edora simply ignored his look.
Yeon-woo also burst out laughing at their conversation.
These two were players he had only come across by chance.

Yeon-woo thought they would leave him after Phante had fought with him, but the two still remained in the Outer District and followed him around.
At first, he just ignored them. But as he spent more time with them, he started to find them cute, just like having little brother and sister.
Especially whenever they start bickering, he also saw someone else in them.
Yeon-woo and his brother.
Kahn and Doyle.
“Siblings are just the same no matter where.”
And the moment Yeon-woo broke into a pleased smile,
“By the way, hyung.”
Yeon-woo came to his senses at Phante’s calling.
He had a strange look on his face.

“I’ve been feeling this since this morning,”
He then glanced down the terrace.
His eyes turned ferocious just like the ones he showed when they first met in the tutorial.
“Why are you leaving these tails alone? They really tick me off.”
The ‘tails’ that Phante was talking about. It was the players that were spying on Yeon-woo.
They themselves might believe nobody had noticed them, but what they didn’t know was that they were being watched from the moment they started following him.
However, Yeon-woo didn’t bother chasing them away. Rather, he roamed more freely around the street trying to let them know where he was.
But Phante couldn’t understand the meaning of Yeon-woo’s actions.
If he were in his shoes, he would have definitely taken measures.
Yeon-woo also took a look down the building.

“Let them be.”
“What? But….”
“….”
“All right, all right. Geez, you don’t have to give me that look.”
Phante griped with a pout.
Yeon-woo ignored him and lifted his coffee cup to his lips.
He also found it quite annoying to be followed by those players. So he also tried to shake them off the first time he noticed their pursuit.
But even if he got away for a moment, they soon kept up with him and started to follow him again, just like leeches.
If so, it was better to just let them be.
‘I don’t want to cause any disturbance here either.’

Yeon-woo had no desire to shed blood in the place full of his brother’s memories.
At that moment, Yeon-woo noticed people starting to flock in front of the cafe building they were in.
The players that had been spying on Yeon-woo also began to move busily, as if they had found something.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Phante, too, had noticed a presence coming up the stairs, and turned his gaze to the entrance of the terrace.
At the door, there was a neatly dressed man with a smile.
Phante, on the other hand, creased his brows. He was displeased at the sight of someone approaching them without authorization.
That was why he deliberately spread rumors saying that the siblings of the One-horned Tribe had rented the cafe building for a while in an effort to prevent people from entering the cafe.
But as if the man didn’t care about the rumors at all, he walked past Phante and Edora and stood in front of Yeon-woo.
Then, he asked in a polite manner.

“Excuse me sir, but are you the Cain?”
“Yes, but who are you?”
Yeon-woo asked, and the man cracked a broad smile.
“Nice to see you, Cain. I’m Rahaam from the clan Red Zephyr. I’d like to invite you to our clan Red Zephyr.”
