20. Flapping of butterfly's wings (3)Last 5th of May.The Eternal Lake team's building located in England, in the place exclusively used by Kwon Jane as her recital hall, 'for JANE'.This hall, with terrace seats able to accommodate 300 people, was the place usually used by Kwon Jane as her personal practice room.Depending on her mood that day, she would invite high ranking government officials, orphan children, homeless people sleeping on streets, or modern artists, etc. as guests here and perform for them, however today Kwon Jane was alone.She held a violin to her neck, but she still didn't raise her right hand holding the bow.Kwon Jane gently tapped the strings with her left finger on the fingerboard, while locked in thoughts. '… It seems good to start the new piece with pizzicato. Let's perform with the feeling of plucking rather than bouncing.' With the inspiration rising in her mind, Kwon Jane left the bow and held her right hand on the D string after closing her eyes.She concentrated all her senses on the sound that would ring in the hall, but… Click. Before that, the door behind the stage opened and noise mixed in. "Jane, I knocked a hundred times, why aren't you reacting! We received a call. It's for you." She heard nothing like the sound of knocking.Kwon Jane, whose concentration was broken, was dissatisfied, but there were times not so long ago when she wasn't able to receive important calls.After a few incidents, she permitted the team sub-master Jared Lee to freely enter even if she was in the middle of the practice. "I know." When she put everything down and activated the device. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding—. The device spit out an alarm informing about dozens of new messages.Kwon Jane had an urge to turn off the device again. 'Jared came personally, so it has to be an important call.' When she was about to check the unanswered call list, the call came again. [Caller: Teacher Yong Jegeon-nim] It was a name she didn't see for a long time.During her school days, when she attended Eungwang School, Yong Jegeon was a unique and impressive teacher. 'If it's a call from Him, it's no wonder Jared reacted like this.' Kwon Jane picked up the call straight away. [Jane, hi.] The very instant she heard Yong Jegeon's voice which didn't change even a bit, she felt the surge of feelings from her school days at Eungwang School.Korea, Eungwang School, old friends and kind teachers, and family left behind…She felt gripping nostalgia well up inside her.Kwon Jane promised herself that she wouldn't go to Korea until she found the Butterfly. "Teacher Yong Jegeon-nim, what happened for you to call?"[Do you know about three SR+++ rank otherworlds which appeared without warning in Korea?]"I saw in the news. I heard that the Yong tribe and senior Yeom Bangyeol-nim completely blocked it."[I don't think it was a coincidence.] Yong Jegeon described the incidents related to Korea and the Yong tribe in order.The Fantasy Controversy.Suspecting the Yong tribe's descendant, Yeom Junyeol for being Red Wall Thief, the solver of this case.Yeom Junyeol changing his plans and returning to Korea to search for Red Wall Thief.Yeom Junyeol suddenly suspending his search for Red Wall Thief and coming forward as first pitcher.The otherworlds without warning phenomena which appeared on the playground he threw the first pitch at. [I don't think all of it was a coincidence. That 'Butterfly' you talked about before, are you still searching for it?] Yong Jegeon's voice was filled with laughter. '… It seems he is so happy, he must be making an ecstatic expression.' She heard that voice from Yong Jegeon before.During Kwon Jane's Eungwang School days.Her Eungwang School's senior Yeom Bangyeol recklessly asked for the hand of the Yong tribe's descendant in front of Cheongryong.At the time, Yong Jegeon who saw this scene had such a voice and made an ecstatic expression. [Our Yong tribe may have been guided by something, like the Eternal Lake team was led by the Butterfly when the otherworlds appeared without warning phenomena in Manchester.] Yong Jegeon's voice was ominous, but the content contained the clue to the Butterfly Kwon Jane was searching everywhere for 10 years. [And there is a Jin who possesses a technique that can pierce through those otherworlds without warning phenomena. They were almost completely destroyed not so long ago and are currently acting together with the Ho tribe. And the Ho tribe is swept up in the incidents with Eungwang School as a center.] Yong Jegeon's instinct was very accurate towards the matters he was interested in.While Yeom Bangyeol was baptized by Cheongryong's flames and then was slapped in the spar with the Yong tribe's descendant and flew so far that he was slammed into Clear Blue Lake.Yong Jegeon, who had been observing this, commented: 'Those two, it seems that they will get married one day?'.In the end, Yeom Banyeol and the Yong tribe's descendant fell in love and then immediately got married after graduating from Eungwang School and even had a son.Yong Jegeon's instinct was worth of trust. [Come to Eungwang School, Jane. I think the situation is moving with the Ho tribe's Eungwang School as the center. How about also contacting the Ho tribe's side? There are many guys among the Ho tribe who would die for the sounds you make. When they couldn't go to your concert before, two ministers got fired. If you contact them personally, Jane, they will be hooked.]"Thank you. I'll think about it."[Okay, then see you in Korea.] She said she would think about it, but Yong Jegeon was certain that Kwon Jane would go to Korea. "Jane?""Yes, I'll go to Korea." It seemed like she was moving according to Yong Jegeon's thoughts, but she couldn't miss clues about the Butterfly. "Saying something like this suddenly, Jane. Why are you saying something like that? Is it because of something that mister Yong said?!" Jared Lee seemed to be saying something, but Kwon Jane already started to make plans in her head.There were people who liked Kwon Jane's sound among the Ho tribe, so she should hold a performance at the Eungwang School and send them invitations.When it comes to performances at the Eungwang School, the Third Sacred Branch Hall was better, but Hoyeon Building held many memories, so she liked it more. "Jane, Jane? Are you listening?""If you're not going, then I'm going alone.""How could I send you alone!… I'll immediately adjust the schedule. When are we going? Second half of the year? If quicker, then in three months?""No. As quickly as possible. Next week.""… Jane. The teammates in charge of the team schedule may cry.""Sorry, then I'll go alone.""… No. I got it. Just don't say you're going alone." Jared Lee whimpered, while he disappeared outside of the recital hall. 'Going to Korea…' There were many people she wanted to see in Korea. 'There are some people which sending an invitation to is difficult. I should prepare other gifts.' She couldn't send an invitation, but even so, she hoped they would come.Thinking like that, she picked up the blue-bodied violin. *** During the Children's Day Jamsil Baseball Stadium incident, it seemed that Yong Jegeon noticed something during his conversation with Ok Toyeon.Cause at Yong Jegeon's request, Kwon Jane unexpectedly came to Korea.According to 30 years old Hwang-ho's comment, she requested contact with the spokesperson of the Ho tribe.According to Kwon Jane's words, she came looking for Butterfly.I combined the clues and formed a hypothesis. '… Did Kwon Jane really come looking for Jeop[1]?' The information was still insufficient, so it was difficult to draw a conclusion. "That's it." Kwon Jane who was looking at Kim Yuri's butterfly hairpin, frowned and said: "I came to Korea searching for the Butterfly, but even so, I hate butterflies." What are you talking about?Kim Yuri looked at Kwon Jane who used the phrase of unknown meaning, at a loss for words.Kwon Jane's words gradually started to become weirder. "That hairpin. Don't wear it during my performance. I hate butterflies.""Yes?" Looks like she really hates butterflies.Even in the game, I thought about her as a particularly special character, but the real person was even more so. "I'll give this to you instead. I think it suits you." Kwon Jane pulled out the hairpin she was wearing and stretched it out towards Kim Yuri.It was a hairpin with the image of magnolia.The hairpin flower petals were expressed with platinum[2] and the stem with imperial topaz.It was an ornament that was about to be worn during the performance of the world-wide famous violinist. I couldn't figure out the reason why she would hand it over. 'You're going to just give it now? Just because you hate Kim Yuri wearing a butterfly hairpin during your performance?' When Kim Yuri completely couldn't respond to the situation that lacked common sense. Swish—. Kwon Jane threw the hairpin towards Kim Yuri who showed no willingness to receive it. "Uh, uh? Wa-Wait a moment. Senior Kwon Jane-nim?" Kim Yuri caught the hair ornament out of reflex.As Eungwang School's Player, it was only natural for her to catch it.Kwon Jane would also know it, so she threw it.Looking at the ornament in Kim Yuri's hands, Kwon Jane made a satisfied expression. "Please change it before the performance starts.""Yes? Senior Kwon Jane-nim, is that a… a joke?" As if she really meant it, Kwon Jane resolutely shook her head at Kim Yuri's words.This time Kwon Jane looked towards Lee Lena.Receiving her gaze, Lee Lena's eyes opened wide. "… Do you play violin?" The place where Kwon Jane's gaze stopped was a violin shaped badge pinned to Lee Lena's school uniform.It was the badge worn by all students of the String Club who were playing a violin. "Ah, yes…! But I wasn't able to finish the Hrimaly and Schradieck music textbooks yet.""Okay? Those are textbooks used to practice the scale and fingering. That is the basic entrance level, why are you still…""I started to learn violin after coming to school. I want to play the song composed by senior Kwon Jane-nim one day, so I'll work hard…!" As Lee Lena almost couldn't catch her breath, Kwon Jane cut in. "What violin are you using?""That, I'm using the violin I received from school. The model I'm using…" The name of the model that came out, was one of the releases of the instrument specializing brand that was taken over and established 50 years ago by Hwang Myeong Group.That model fell under the price of ten million won.String instruments were famous for prices without a ceiling.Even among them, the high grade violins were the most expensive woodcrafts, so it was difficult to say if it was expensive among violins.But it looked more than enough for Lee Lena, who started to learn violin less than two months ago, to use for practice. 'Hwang Jiho really doesn't spare money for the 'sound'.' I was amazed by Hwang Myeong Foundation's crazy spendings.But Kwon Jane looked at Lee Lena with a shocked expression. "You're a Player. Why aren't you using a violin made with supernatural powers?" At those words, Lee Lena and Kim Yuri opened their mouths wide.Did she really say that?There weren't many artisans who could make items with supernatural powers.And there was only one artisan in the present world who was making violins. '… I know that a violin made with supernatural powers is several times more expensive than a Player Car.' No matter how much the Hwang Myeong Foundation didn't spare money, it would be difficult for them to buy a supernatural violin which bid billions in price without any problems for a student.No, some kind of Jin bought that type of expensive supernatural instrument and decided to give it to a student during an event. 'Come to think about it, there was a description in the game that the Jin was so moved during the Eugwang School end of the year student performance festival that they presented the student with a supernatural instrument.' The students mentioned this event in conversations, but immediately after that, the incidents started with the period of the PMH's concrete collapse incident, so its presence was dimmed.While Kwon Jane's unforeseen and sudden comment took my mind to some other place for a moment.At Kwon Jane's wild[3] speech, Lee Lena gave a model student answer. "Yes? Ho-However, I'm still only starting to learn violin… If I have a chance, I want to play on the supernatural violin someday…!""…Okay." Good job, Lee Lena.Lee Lena nicely overcame the crisis of completely cutting the conversation.But Kwon Jane's stormy behavior was even more excessive. "Take this." Kwon Jane held out an item card towards Lee Lena.The card displayed a platinum-colored violin. 'This is a violin made with supernatural powers…!' Looking at the card's borders, it was a SRR rank rarity.I couldn't know if there was + or – attached behind, but it was no way a gift that a senior could just toss at a junior she saw for the first time today, just because the junior plays the violin. 'I thought that Kwon Jane was a special character, but… It's more than I thought!' In front of us who were startled, Kwon Jane held out the card with an indifferent face. *~*~* [1] Jeop – Jeop tribe – 'butterfly' tribe.[2] platinum – platinum is called 'white gold' in Korean usually.[3] wild – the word used literally means 'underworld/afterlife', but as a buzzword it means something truly bizarre. Translator's note: … Oh yeah, that instrument guy. I always forget to keep track of it, but it actually appears so early… Looks important.Also.Jane. I know why you're reacting like this, but you truly look like you're bullying your juniors.

Did you see a mistake? 🐞

Questions:Assuming the start of the chapter didn't happen a year before last chapter's concert, "Last 5th of May" should be "Previously, 5th of May"With "She heard nothing like the sound of knocking", was Jane too absorbed in her composition to hear the knocking?"blue-bodied violin" can definitely be shortened to "blue violin", as it's common to refer to instruments with different materials like this, such as the carbon fiber violin.Thanks for the chapter! Having a private concert hall would be awesome to practice in, since it would help with acoustics and stage planning, but it seems like a waste of a potential community space, and with London rent prices, it also seems absurdly expensive. On another note, Yeom Banyeol asked for the descendant's hand in marriage from the head of the Yong tribe? What absolute cajones of steel! And Kwon Jane, you're acting like a Jehovah's Witness pushing pamphlets at someone's door! Cool your jets!
