Yeo Joo Saves the World – Episode 154

“Are you asking about our guild’s advertising fees right now?”
“No, that’s not it.”
I answered hastily.
“I just never thought a StarGram live broadcast would bring in that kind of money.”
Thinking back on the proposals that had come to the Justice Guild, I understood even more why.
It was certainly substantial money for easy work like a single photo, but it wasn’t the kind of sum that even the larger Magma Guild would call “profitable.”
“Ha, just kidding. I can tell you about advertising fees, though.”
Yang Hwa Yeon, laughing and patting my shoulder, leaned in close and whispered the Magma Guild’s advertising rates into my ear.
“Wow.”
That really is profitable?
“More than you’d expect, right? But in exchange, you have to get that kind of exposure.”
Where Yang Hwa Yeon pointed, Shin Dan Bi was pulling out a bottle of ion drink from the Subspace.
“This is the beverage our guild is advertising these days. Has anyone here tried it?”
She mentioned the advertisement so openly that there wasn’t a hint of resistance.
Yang Hwa Yeon seemed to share the sentiment, giving Shin Dan Bi a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, I turned on my phone and checked the ongoing broadcast.
The viewer count was already climbing toward fifty thousand.
It might not seem like much at first glance, but it was essentially the same as running an advertisement to a completely packed World Cup stadium.
“Hmm.”
Shin Dan Bi seemed to be having such a good time that she showed no signs of ending the broadcast anytime soon.
The three teenagers from the Justice Guild standing beside her were all flushed in the cheeks, experiencing this situation for the first time.
‘It would be a shame to miss this opportunity.’
We didn’t have a product to advertise right now.
‘But that doesn’t mean we have nothing to promote.’
With that thought, I walked over to the four people broadcasting.
“Oh, Yeo Joo is here!”
“Come say hi to everyone!”
“This is so cool, unnie!”
The twins and Im Chung Soo wagged their tails excitedly as they spoke.
“Really? Is that okay?”
“Of course!”
Shin Dan Bi quickly shifted her position to make room for me and answered.
I didn’t hesitate and promptly sat down beside Shin Dan Bi.
So this is what a live broadcast looks like.
“Hello, this is Yeo Joo from the Justice Guild.”

– Wow, Yeo Joo!!
– It’s Yeo Joo!!
– You’re pretty ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– I can’t wait to see Yeoju at Magma Guild Labang!!

For some reason, rather than welcoming me, everyone was crying out in excitement.
It should be fine.
I awkwardly waved in greeting and asked Shin Dan Bi, “Do we need to do a tour of our Training Facility or something?”
“Oh, that would be nice. But… are you sure it’s okay?”
“Yes. Since so many people are watching anyway, showing them the broadcast location is no big deal.”
“Wow! Everyone! We got permission! The Justice Guild’s Simulation Training Ground is amazing!”
As expected, people reacted to the mention of the “Simulation Training Ground.”
People reacted to the term “Simulation Training Ground” as expected.

– I thought it was… something else?
– Isn’t that expensive?
– Don’t only large guilds have those?
Isn’t that something only found in large Guilds?

But now was the time to reveal it.
The fact that the Justice Guild was no longer a struggling, crumbling organization, but a guild that was properly taking its footing.
If we lacked promotional materials, then promoting the guild itself would suffice.
“Would you like to see what we were training on just a moment ago?”
“Would you like me to show you what we were practicing earlier?”

– Show us!
– Other guilds don’t usually reveal this!
Other guilds don’t usually disclose this kind of information!
– The people watching the stream today are so lucky
The people who were watching the livestream today are still here.

With a few manipulations, the shadow raven we had been virtually facing moments before was rendered vividly as if it were real.

– What’s the Simulation quality like?
– You’re not currently clearing a Dungeon, right;;?
– It seems better than most large Guilds
– It’s seriously scary;;;
– At this quality level, the Simulation Training Ground must be expensive

It was the Simulation Training Ground that Sung Yo Na had recently undergone a major upgrade to, making it feel far more realistic.
So aside from the construction costs paid to Gua Ri at the beginning, it was built practically for free.
But those who didn’t know that were making a fuss, saying “Just how much money has the Justice Guild made?”
Of course, there were some detractors among them.

Haha, didn’t you dump all your money into the Justice Guild’s Simulation Training Ground?
– If not that, then the other training facilities must be a mess

And Shin Dan Bi, who somehow managed to read such comments, defended us instead.
“That’s not true! Ah, I can’t show everything since it’s not just our Guild! The Justice Guild facilities are seriously no joke, you know?”
“That’s right. Our Training Facility is really great!”
“Yeo Joo unnie, can’t we reveal everything later?”
“Sure. We’ll reveal it during our live broadcast sometime later.”
I even dangled that bait.
So that even if the Justice Guild started a live broadcast on its own, many people would flock to it.
And I called out toward the open Simulation Training Ground door.
“Na Baek Ho, come here.”

– Na Baek Ho?
– Did the Justice Guild recruit a new member?
– I’ve never heard that name before

At my call, Na Baek Ho, who had been receiving Yang Hwa Yeon’s affection, quickly bounded over.
“Here we go. This is my familiar, Na Baek Ho. Baek Ho, say hello.”
“Meow.”

– ?????????
What the heck????
– The Justice Guild has a familiar????
– So cute
– Should say it’s cat-cute
– A cat familiar?
– Isn’t it a tiger? The name is Na Baek Ho too

“Na Baek Ho isn’t a cat—he’s a White Tiger Celestial Beast. He’s still young, so he does look like a rather large cat.”

– This is insanely adorable
– Baekho Na ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-My name is also Na Baekho ㅠㅠㅠ
– There’s a Celestial Beast at the Justice Guild;;;
– Aren’t there only a few Celestial Beasts in our country?

“There are probably quite a few more than people think.”
They’re all just keeping them hidden for now.
Once people confirm what abilities Celestial Beasts possess, they’ll start revealing them everywhere like mushrooms after rain.
With that in mind, I began my final promotional push.
“Na Baek Ho will be entering the joint dungeon raid with the Magma Guild this time. Right, Na Baek Ho?”
“Meow!”
“Of course, the other Celestial Beasts at the Justice Guild will be going too.”

– There are more Celestial Beasts?!?!?
-Why are there so many secrets?
– We don’t even know that ㅠㅠㅠ
If there’s anything else you’ve been hiding, tell me now.
– But isn’t he still a baby? Won’t he get hurt??
Why would you bring a kid like that into the Dungeon in the first place?

“Celestial Beasts are born in dungeons, so you can think of it like humans returning to their hometowns for holidays.”

– Oh, now that you mention it, that makes sense
– I understand
– But be careful not to get hurt ㅠㅠ
– I’m definitely watching the joint raid broadcast
– Can’t miss the Celestial Beast’s debut
– Baekho ㅠㅠ Auntie will definitely see you ㅠㅠㅠ

Perfect.
The people watching this live broadcast aren’t my only promotional targets.
Once these viewers start spreading what they saw today across the community, viewership numbers will climb even higher.

– Can’t you reveal the other Celestial Beasts now?
– I’m so curious ㅠㅠ
– Show us the Celestial Beasts!!

“The others are sleeping right now, so that won’t work. You can see it on our broadcast later.”
It’s not even our live broadcast, so it’d be a shame to reveal everything here.
“I need to get to the next training session, so I should head out. Na Baek Ho, say hello.”
I lifted one of Na Baek Ho’s front right paws and waved it.
See that, everyone?
Na Baek Ho’s pink jelly paw!

* * *

The day-long training session with the Magma Guild had finally ended.
I dragged my exhausted body back to my room.
Na Baek Ho, who had been playing without a proper nap after meeting all these new people, seemed tired and shuffled straight to the drug cushion with a weary gait.
His retreating figure looked just like a puppy collapsing into deep sleep after spending all day being passed around by holiday guests.
The sun had long since set, leaving the room dim, but I didn’t bother turning on the lights.
It was because of one creature who preferred the darkness.
“Gung Gi.”
At my call, Gung Gi’s black tail, perched by the window, swayed gently.
It was his way of showing he was listening.
Gung Gi had been acting a bit strange lately.
Before, he would occasionally take walks around the Guild Building and get along well with the other familiars in the Training Facility below.
But recently, he barely left my room.
“What are you staring at so intently?”
He simply sat by the window, gazing quietly out into the night.
As if waiting for something.
I stroked his round, dark head and asked.
“Do you want to come with me into the Dungeon this time?”
