"I want to extend my trip for one more day . I will return to Korea the day after tomorrow . "
"Okay, sir . "
The next day, Gun-Ho didn't return to Korea but instead, he went to Kyoto without telling anyone . The emperors of Japan used to live in Kyoto . Gun-Ho headed to Okazaki Park where the festival was held in . There were posters here and there about the festival . A pretty geisha in colorful Kimonos posed with a traditional Japanese oil-paper umbrella in her hand on the poster . When Gun-Ho looked at the festival poster closely, he was astonished . It was Mori Aikko on the poster .
"Wow . It is indeed Mori Aikko . "
Gun-Ho smiled .
There were so many people at Heian Shrine in Okazaki Park . They all seemed to be there for the festival . Many photographers were standing in front of the shrine with their cameras ready . Behind the group of photographers, there was a huge crowd of general spectators, and Gun-Ho was inside the crowd .
With the sound of a drum, the festival started . Music started and a group of dancers in a white outfit came out to the stage . They were dancing geishas .
"Kirei na (Pretty)!"
"Kirei na (Pretty)!"
People kept shouting 'Kirei na . ' The dancer in the center of the group was Mori Aikko .
"That's her!"
The photographers started shooting pictures of Mori Aikko . Mori Aikko was wearing thick geisha makeup; she didn't wear that makeup when she danced in the bar . The spectators participated in taking pictures of Mori Aikko with their smartphones . So did Gun-Ho . Gun-Ho took Mori Aikko's pictures with his cell phone .
The geishas were dancing along with the music that was played with some musical instruments that Gun-Ho didn't really recognize . Her dance was different from the one she performed at the bar . It was a really beautiful artistic dancing . People there were so busy taking pictures of Mori Aikko's every move .
'That girl is my Mori Aikko!'

Gun-Ho felt like he was willing to give her everything he had . He would have given the world to Mori Aikko if he could .
Gun-Ho quietly walked out of Heian Shrine; he wanted Mori Aikko to enjoy her moment and didn't want to interrupt her activity . He, then, headed straight to the airport to take a flight to Korea .
A few days after Gun-Ho came back to Korea, he was told that Mr . Sakata Ikuzo is soon arriving at the Gimpo International Airport .
Gun-Ho called for the general affairs manager .
"Did you find an interpreter?"
"Yes, I had him on standby . "
"Why don't you bring him here?"
The general affairs manager brought a young man to Gun-Ho's office . The young man looked like three or four years younger than Gun-Ho .
"He will be interpreting for us . This is his resume . "
The general affairs manager handed the resume to Gun-Ho .
"You went to college and graduate school in Japan . Since the person who is coming is an engineer, you will encounter many technical terms to interpret . I hope you are ready for it . "
Since the interpreter would work temporarily for only a month, Gun-Ho didn't talk long with him .
"Mr . General Affairs Manager, let's send the assistant general affairs manager to the airport to pick up Mr . Sakata Ikuzo . It seems he has a nice car; he can bring that car to the airport . "
"I think he is an adequate person for the work . He is good-looking and he has good conversational skills as well . He also has a sophisticated etiquette . "
Gun-Ho asked for the assistant general affairs manager .

"Was your car Kia K7? It looked like a new car . "
"It's actually a used car . It is less than 2 years old though . "
"I want you to go to Gimpo International Airport to pick up someone . I will ask the general affairs manager to provide you enough gas . A very famous Japanese engineer is coming to our company for a consultation . His name is Sakata Ikuzo . Please take the interpreter with you . The person standing next to you is our interpreter . "
"Yes, sir . "
"Mr . General Affairs Manager, please reserve a room at Onyang Hot Spring Hotel for Mr . Sakata Ikuzo . "
"It will be a long term stay, isn't it?"
"We expect him to stay here for a month, but it can change depending on how fast we can develop the product . "
"Understood, sir . "
In the afternoon that day, Mr . Sakata Ikuzo arrived at the factory in Asan City . Gun-Ho called for the directors to his office .
"This is Mr . Sakata Ikuzo . He will help us develop a new product . He used to work for Dyeon in the U . S . as the head of the engineering department . "
The directors greeted Mr . Sakata Ikuzo and exchanged their business cards with him . Mr . Sakata Ikuzo's business card showed only his name without any company or organization's name he worked for, maybe because he was a retired engineer .
Gun-Ho started assigning work to each director .
"Mr . Plant Manager, please give him a tour of our factory . "
"Yes, sir . "

"After the tour of the factory, please show him our research center as well . Mr . Chief Officer of the research center, you can show him around . "
"Yes, sir . "
"And find out whether he prefers to do his development work at the production field in the factory or in the research center . "
"Okay . "
The plant manager was walking out of Gun-Ho's office with Mr . Sakata Ikuzo when he asked Mr . Sakata Ikuzo his age in Japanese . The plant manager seemed to speak Japanese a little bit .
"How old are you?"
Mr . Sakata Ikuzo answered while looking at the plant manager's business card .
"I'm 65 years old . "
"You are three years older than me . I'm 62 years old . "

The two 60-something years old men looked at each other and laughed .
After having a tour both to the factory and the research center, Mr . Sakata Ikuzo decided to do his work at the factory where he could easily have access to the extruding machine .
Mr . Sakata Ikuzo brought two big bags with him . He took out several vinyl bags of raw materials from one of his bags; the raw materials seemed to be about 5 kilograms .
"Do you have a team leader in the maintenance and repair department?"
"We have a production manager here, and he is very good at maintenance work as well . "
The plant manager introduced Jong-Suk to Mr . Sakata Ikuzo .
Mr . Sakata Ikuzo unexpectedly smiled and offered his hand to Jong-Suk for a handshake .
"Can you set up a mould and things, so I can manually carve a mould . "
"Sure . "
Jong-Suk installed things for Mr . Sakata Ikuzo so he could easily start his mould work right away .
Gun-Ho received a call from Attorney Young-Jin Kim at Kim&Jeong Law Office .
"I heard the Japanese engineer arrived already . "
"Yeah, he is here . "
"Amiel called me and said that if the Japanese engineer succeeds in developing the new product, you would need to give him an incentive fee . "
"Incentive fee?"
"His consultation fee is 5,000 dollars, but his incentive fee is 20,000 dollars . He won't claim any ownership of the new product then . He will give the full ownership of the new product to GH Mobile . "
"Hmm . "
"Amiel asked our law firm to notarize the statement . "
"Hmm . "
Gun-Ho took some moment before giving his answer .
"Okay . Let's do that . "
