As Dokja came in, he looked at the old man for a while before ignoring him and taking a seat alongside the other kings.
Min Jiwon again introduced Dokja to the others. And unsurprisingly to Ken, Dokja and Sookyung were glaring at each other. Well, Sookyung was the first to do it, that is.
Ken took one of the biscuits present. As he took a bite from the biscuit, he asked.
"So… what is this meeting even about?"
Only then did the others start to talk about the main reason for this meeting. They were talking about who will get to go to the sixth scenario.
[The amount of people in Seoul dome allowed to participate is 10.]
[The number of participants may increase depending on the progress achieved by the incarnations sent.]
This was a message Ken had gotten not long after coming here, and he was pretty sure this was the reason all of them were arguing about.
Participating in this scenario was actually really important, as they had much to gain from it. But the main thing Ken wanted from this scenario was the story gained from killing Yamata No Orochi.
It was a legendary grade story, which Dokja and Joonghyuk got after clearing the scenario on the side of the peace land instead of the disasters they were sent as.
Ken knew that there must be other ways to gain stories, but there was never a guarantee that he would have a hundred percent guaranteed chance of getting a legendary grade story.
Ken was still thinking on what to do, sitting with one of his legs on top of the other while the other kings were still arguing.
As the argument, which could not really be called that. As there were five kings there, if you exclude whoever that old bitch was. Only two were arguing among themselves, where Ken, Dokja and Lee Sookyung were just sitting quietly.
Dokja, who also didn't participate in the conversation, picked up a biscuit. He said.
"There really isn't much of a point to argue among ourselves. Since there is still another king left to come."
And unsurprisingly like a cliche in a story, just as Dokja said that and took a bite, Joonghyuk came barging into the tent.
Just as he barged in, he found the president of Yeoidu in front of him, still lying there unconscious from the painful cold.
As he found the guy in front of him, he kicked the old man away. Most obviously because that guy was blocking his path.
Without giving any thought about the opinion of anyone else. Joonghyuk said that he is going to pick the ones that are going to participate in the sixth scenario.
The first person was of course himself. As the others also came into the tent, since there was no one blocking them anymore. He announced Lee Jihye as the second person to participate.
Then Lee Seolhwa was the third, then Lee Hyunsung, then the fifth being Jung Heewon. As he kept on announcing the participants, the expression of the King of beauty and the other bald king Ken couldn't even remember the title and became paler and paler. While Dokja's grin kept on disappearing.
As he announced Le Gilyoung as the sixth participant, he glared at Shin Yoosung before looking at Dokja.
He looked at Dokja for a while thinking something, and at the same time Dokja still had some grin left, even though he clearly looked nervous. He must have thought Joonghyuk would immediately pick him.
With a frown, Joonghyuk looked at Ken, and with an even bigger frown, pretty much filled with anger, he announced that the rest of the participants were to be chosen amongst themselves before leaving by himself.
Even when Dokja was busy explaining to the others what happened last night, and also the reason Joonghyuk most likely didn't pick him up. Ken was still talking with Sookyung.
He kind of liked talking to her. Perhaps because of her age, she was more calm and composed. But also easier to talk with.
And since both of them knew quite a bit about this world, the talk wasn't that bad.
After a while, Ken got up and walked towards the group. Who were still talking among themselves.
Ken pretty much knew the point of this conversation. It was that they mistook Dokja and Sangah for kissing each other while drunk, though it never happened. But it did cause a funny, yet long term misunderstanding.
When Jung Heewon got a message from Uriel, she said that it was some kind of comradeship. Which, Jihye was laughing about.
Even after that Hyunsung started some kind of rant about being offended when they would put their life on the line in these scenarios and still see a companion losing to pleasure or something like that.
After a while, the bald, who was quite literally the only king who Ken ignored the most. Proposed that they pick the remaining participants based on the person who wins.
And the result wasn't really that favourable towards him and the king of beauty. At the end, only Ken and Dokja were left. Since they knew that if they seriously fought, it would only be disadvantageous to both of them, they called it a truce.
And the seventh, eighth and ninth participants were Dokja, Yoosung and Ken respectively.
As everyone had gone outside, leaving only Dokja, Ken, and Sookyung. Ken headed to Sookyung and said something in an extremely low voice. Which even Dokja couldn't hear, even though he literally had a skill for enhanced hearing.
After that, Ken also walked out of the tent, where the others were talking among themselves. Ken was more familiar with Dokja, Sooyoung and Sangah because they were going around with each other for a few days. But as for others, he wasn't really that close to them.
When they were talking to themselves, Heewon was still pretty confused as to why Uriel is so serious about the comradeship between Dokja and Joonghyuk.
Which is why he took her to another place, since he didn't want others to hear what he was about to say.
"Uhm. Anyway, I don't like this thing about Uriel, and we may literally be the opposing force against each other in that aspect.
But, what I wanted to say is that… Uriel ships Dokja and Joonghyuk."
Seeing that Hewson was still confused, Ken had no choice but to put it in a more specific way.
"She wants them to establish a gay relationship, which both of them are unaware of."
