Chapter 95

Among those strangely dressed people, there was one who particularly stood out.

Especially the white hair.

“Taesan Guild Master…?”

As if he had been waiting for that, Kim Wuchan frowned deeply.

“What’s with the cringey honorifics, ugh. Just call me by my name.”

No, why are you of all people here?

Hana’s gaze naturally moved down to Kim Wuchan’s upper body.

Surely, just a while ago, he was someone whose chest had been split open and had barely survived death.

When he should still be lying in bed, he was walking around perfectly fine like this?

Even without asking directly, Kim Wuchan seemed to notice the puzzled look and snorted.

“What are you staring at? Did you think I’d lie around for days just because I got a little hurt? Wounds like that heal in a day or two.”

“Uh, from what I know, you were lying unconscious for over a week-“

“Ack! Where’s this dust coming from!”

Kim Wuchan, seemingly embarrassed, waved his hands at the empty air and cut off the conversation.

Far from dust, the weather outside the Gate entrance was perfectly clear.

And one more thing.

It seemed that guild leaders, except for Seo Ganghyeon, defaulted to informal speech.

Han Tae-ho was like that too, and Kim Wuchan’s words were also short.

Hana’s eyes narrowed slightly.

But regardless of that, he was worried.

Back then, Kim Wuchan had definitely said he would pretend to still be trapped in the ‘White Night’s Snowfield’ to escape Damian’s sight, so he wondered if it was okay to just walk around like this.

“But… isn’t it bad to just walk around openly like this?”

At that question, Kim Wuchan casually shrugged his shoulders.

“I came using a teleport item. I also asked Han Tae-ho to cut off all tracking. Do you think I’d be that careless?”

His tone was still prickly, but the content was quite meticulous.

Befitting his ice attribute, a cool aura was subtly flowing around Kim Wuchan as he stood there.

With his upturned eyes as well, he had an appearance that perfectly suited the term ‘cold handsome man.’

…That should have been the case.

Hana’s widened eyes moved from Kim Wuchan’s face to his feet, then back up to his face again.

From earlier, the particularly flashy pink t-shirt had been catching his attention.

It completely didn’t match Kim Wuchan’s appearance – not just any pink, but a bright hot pink.

Moreover, not only Kim Wuchan but the Taesan Guild members standing behind him were dressed just as colorfully.

Furthermore, the pictures printed densely on that hot pink background were definitely his crops, even after rubbing his eyes and looking again.

Feeling Hana’s gaze, Kim Wuchan shot back primly.

“What. First time seeing a fan club?”

“What kind of… fan club?”

Hana asked, desperately suppressing an ominous feeling.

Come on, surely it’s not related to me.

There’s no way such cold-looking people would do that…?

But Hana’s hopes crumbled down completely.

“What kind of fan club, you ask.”

Kim Wuchan stepped forward and proudly puffed out his chest.

“Obviously it’s your crops fan club. The Crop Cultivation School! Haven’t you heard of it?”

“…”

Gasp.

Hana immediately covered his mouth.

A scream rose up to the tip of his throat.

Somehow he felt like he shouldn’t hear the next words.

But Kim Wuchan’s voice came out faster.

“I’m the founder of that Crop Cultivation School.”

Wow…

So this person was the one who created such an absurd thing?

Hana’s face turned dark in real time.

Kim Wuchan seemed satisfied with Hana’s reaction and puffed out his shoulders even more.

At that moment, the text hidden by his t-shirt was clearly revealed.

[Crop Cultivation School 1st Generation Member]

“…Oh.”

Hana felt as if his soul briefly left his body.

He thought this was how it felt when a person was too embarrassed.

‘No, I mean, I’m proud of my little ones. But this isn’t right.’

Why is the embarrassment my share!

A red tint gradually spread across Hana’s cheeks, earlobes, and even the back of his neck.

“Me? Do you know how much trouble I went through trying to get ‘Stamina Boost Tomatoes’ and ‘Heave-ho☆ Potatoes’!”

Kim Wuchan, who couldn’t know Hana’s feelings, expressed his grievances with a face that seemed incompatible with such sensitivity.

Then he began taking out his ‘collection’ one by one with a prim expression.

“What’s the use of having money to throw around. They’re always sold out. This is all a collection made containing my grievances from that time.”

He added an explanation that these were goods distributed to people joining the Crop Cultivation School.

When Kim Wuchan gestured, the guild members standing behind him displayed items in practiced motions.

Hana’s gaze slowly swept over them.

Knitted Bubble Puff keychains.

Small potato cushions filled with fluffy cotton.

There was even a comprehensive doll set that gathered all of those together.

The quality was so excellent that it was admirable, from the thickness of the thread to the color combinations and subtle gradations.

It was a level of completion that went beyond professional standards.

Hana forgot the vicarious embarrassment he had felt moments ago and let out an exclamation.

“Wow. Did you really make all this, Kim Wuchan?”

“I told you I did.”

Kim Wuchan immediately pointed to the guild members standing behind him.

“Look at those guys’ burly hands. They’re the type who press two keys at once on phone keypads. Who else but me could make this?”

Hana unconsciously nodded.

It was convincing, very much so.

“Ah. Of course, this t-shirt and strawberry headband are also my handiwork. How is it?”

“It is impressive.”

“As expected, you know how to appreciate things.”

Was it just his imagination that Kim Wuchan’s nose seemed to be rising higher and higher toward the sky?

“When I found out you were the one who saved me, I thought it was fate!”

Kim Wuchan was already in high spirits.

Even the Taesan Guild members standing behind joined in, starting their praise toward Hana.

“As expected, the God of Crops—!”

“Long live Bubble Puff! Long live the Crop Cultivation School!”

From what he had heard, Kim Wuchan was supposed to be prickly, sensitive, and have a chihuahua-like personality that would bite at anything.

That didn’t seem to be wrong.

But, how should he put it…

It seemed like he was missing a major screw somewhere.

Or else he possessed tremendous otaku power.

Hana’s gaze went down to the keychain again.

Looking at this perfect knitting skill, there was one person who naturally came to mind.

It was the 301 Grandmother who had given Choi Kwon a knitted hat as a gift.

‘Kim Wuchan would get along well with 301 Grandmother…?’

Should I introduce those two to each other sometime?

Ugh. What am I even thinking right now.

Hana quickly snapped back to his senses and shook his head vigorously.

Just because he’d relaxed his brain a little, he’d almost been completely swept away by this incredible collection.

“Haha. Thanks for showing me the collection, now please be careful on your way back.”

Hana slowly backed away step by step.

While it was fortunate that Kim Wuchan wasn’t questioning why he’d dragged him out like baggage, he didn’t want any more strange characters added to the garden.

The people already there were quite enough.

When Hana looked back, Kwon and Haechan were watching the Taesan Guild members who kept shouting “Crop Cultivation School!” with expressions just as disgusted as his own.

Hana linked arms with each of them and pulled them backward.

Then he asked Choi Kwon.

“Hey, those people can’t enter here without Seo Ganghyeon’s permission, right?”

“Of course, benefactor! Don’t worry! This is the Haechee exclusive zone!”

“Th-that’s right. Don’t worry! And th-those people seem a bit strange. Their eyes look cr-crazy?”

Deeply agreeing with Haechan’s accurate assessment, Hana tried to quietly escape from that bizarre group.

But just as he was about to turn around.

“Wait, Crop God!”

Hana pretended not to hear.

That can’t be calling me, right?

No sane person would call someone by such a title-.

“Can’t you hear? Yun Hana Crop-“

“Aaah!”

Since Kim Wuchan was about to add Hana’s name and call out that bizarre title again, Hana jumped up and ran toward the entrance.

“Shh! Shh! Please don’t call me by that weird title!”

“Why? It’s nothing but cool.”

Hana felt like crying a little.

Kim Wuchan was definitely not in his right mind.

How else could he say such things without his expression changing at all?

Just as Hana was truly resolving that he absolutely couldn’t get any more involved.

Kim Wuchan’s eyes went slightly more crazy.

Then he dropped a bomb-like proposal with utmost seriousness.

“Break your exclusive contract with Haechi Guild and sign with Taesan instead.”

“…What?”

It was so out of the blue that Hana almost forgot to even ask back. Kim Wuchan himself remained calm though.

“I have a lot of money, as much as Seo Ganghyeon. I can pay the penalty fee for you, and I can give you more contract money too.”
