<Episode 124>The Young Goblin. (1)
Young goblin. (1)
He passed the road and moved to the central building. He was originally supposed to report to the general and then go.
I had to go in, but I ignored everything and went looking for it.
There was no one to stop me from going in without thinking.
When he arrived at the residence, he opened the door and went in without even knocking.
“What’s going on?”
My father greets me in the same manner as before. He looks at the letter and looks this way.
It doesn’t work.
I looked at my father and asked.
“•••I heard there was a problem.”
Only then does my father turn his gaze this way.
“Yes. Who told you?”
“The Namgung family leader came to see me.”
“hmm…?”
It seems unexpected that the head of the household came to see me in person, given the incident yesterday.
all.
“Was there a problem with that?”
“Nothing happened. I just came and gave some information.”
“That Namgung Jin?”
“yes.”
I thought he mistook me for something, but he didn’t tell me that part.
There was something more urgent than that right now.
“I heard that it wasn’t Namgung’s people who injured the servant.”
My father looked at me quietly and answered a little late.
“That’s their position.”
“… Have you not checked it yet?”
“What are you trying to say?”
“I said that because I thought I should check.”
Sarak.
He put the letter his father was reading down on the table. His eyes looked slightly frowning.
I could tell how depressed my father was.
“Guyangcheon.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“You do realize that this is off-topic, right?”

“”
“If you’re going to say something like that to me, don’t you know that you should come with a title that fits the occasion?
”
A drop of cold sweat ran down the room. Even though I wasn’t using any bets, the room was filled with
The pressure of the stomach filling up was heavy.
My father was telling me that if you want to interfere in the work, you should wear a name tag.
Ask for it.
Right now, I am nothing, just like my father said.
“Namgung’s side admitted that they had made a mistake.”
They kept saying that it was not they who touched the servant, but
They also admitted that they had made mistakes in some areas.
This is what Namgung Jin meant when he said that he would make sure that no harm came to me.
“The one who is treating the Namgung family’s unmanned people that you destroyed is none other than God.
A. Fortunately, there was no problem with the treatment.”
I made it like that on purpose. I didn’t just break it because I was angry.
all.
“Does that mean you are not guilty?”
“no.”
It was something I had to admit. Even if things went wrong, I was responsible.
“Even if Namgung acknowledges it, he cannot avoid compensation and responsibility.
crawl.”
Even if external justification and responsibility are passed on, the problem will not go away.
That’s what my father is saying.
“You have to give them enough compensation so that they don’t feel wronged and you have to take responsibility for it.
“It’s a separate story.”
It was an undeniable statement.
[Unlike you who is shameless, you are a more sane person than I thought, oh my
It’s raining.]
While taking advantage of political justification and benefits with Namgung, he did not let his voice be heard behind his back.
He talked about clear rewards and responsibilities.
“Don’t worry about the problems that come to your mind. That’s not what you need to see.
“Remember me.”
What did my father say about the fight with Namgung Jin and what happened afterwards?
He didn’t say anything.
“..I will visit the injured servants and the Namgung family members as soon as possible.
I will make it available to you.”

My father nods his head at my words.
It should have been done even before my father spoke.
[You admit it easily.]
‘How can I admit it and not say anything?’
I don’t know who did it, or what they were trying to do with the one who caught them.
It was I who got involved and caused the accident. I committed no external crime.
Even if you create it, responsibility does not disappear.
If you find out and say it’s true, you should take responsibility.
[… But, you said that you made him treat you by breaking his teeth and twisting his arms?]
‘Noya, can’t you do it?’
[How do you do something like that?!]
‘It’s not as difficult as you think.’
It may seem cruel on the outside, but it makes the treatment easy.
Causing pain without leaving a trace.
If you repeat it hundreds or thousands of times, you can learn it without much difficulty.
It’s funny how I still use it often in my current life, but it’s not really a useful experience.
Could it be?
‘I need to reduce my emotional responses.’
It had decreased a lot compared to my previous life, but it didn’t seem like it would be easy.
“Is this the end of our business?”
My father started talking as if he was telling me to leave now, but the original business had not even begun yet.
Couldn’t.
[I got scolded as soon as I got here.]
“…there is still some left.”
“Speak.

“You said you would give me the Taeseondan last time, but you said you could do it for another favor.
“Is it so?”
“That’s right.”
“Then I would like to ask you another favor.”
My father makes a strange expression at my words. I try not to avoid his gaze.
And said without saying anything.
“I want to take a quick trip down to the basement.”
My father’s eyes widened when he heard the news. It was the most reaction I’ve seen from my father this year.
It was an extraordinary reaction.
It couldn’t be otherwise, you probably didn’t know that I would say I wanted to go underground.
you.
“Why?”
“There is something I want to see.”
Advertisements
“You said that.”
“yes.”
I had to check. Was it the guy Namgung Jin was talking about?
“You said you never wanted to go there again, so what made you ask me this?
“That is.”
My father, who would normally have just told me to do so, asked me twice already.
I was watching.
The meaning of the phrase “to eat a pig” was that it was a dirty word.
“Just one moment will do.”
To be exact, I didn’t need even a single moment of it. It was a space I didn’t want to be in.
Are you crazy enough to think I’d go back there on my own two feet?
‘We have to check it at least that way.’
Asking my father would be useless. He probably doesn’t know the guy’s name.
peel.
You wouldn’t know. It’s not my father, but me who knows more about the underground.
It was.
My father told me to gather my thoughts.
“Are you still saying this knowing that you won’t be able to escape anymore?”
It was a word that contained countless meanings.
“Anyway, I can’t run away, right?”
Accepting fate was an inevitable story. I was tired and fed up and went astray.
Even so, in the end, it was an unavoidable story.
There is one thing, though.’
It’s something I did in my past life, and something I never plan on doing again.
“•••I thought I had changed a lot…. It is not enough to say that I came to my senses.
“It looks like this.”
I haven’t prepared it yet.
So, if you keep causing accidents, it seems like one regression is not enough.
I couldn’t do it twice and I didn’t want to do it, so I had to live harder.
It’s the same thing.
“•••Are you thinking of going right in?”
“The faster the better.”
My father takes something out of his bosom and throws it at me. I pick it up and see that it is a red seal.
This was it. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this.
It was a key to open the door and a token you would receive when you sat down at the small table.

“… The time is just past 12 o’clock today, and the limit is just one moment.”
“yes.”
“I’ll tell the general. Come see him later.”
Contrary to expectations that your father would come in with you, are you planning on sending him in alone?
see.
‘Why?’
If there was no one next to me, it would be more comfortable, but it’s true that you trust me to this extent.
It was a question.
As I closed the door to the guest house, the biggest question remained this.
[What on earth is the underground that makes you worry so much?]
‘Haven’t you seen it?’
[I told you, I didn’t see much.]
Noya, who had looked through the memories, seemed to have not seen any mention of the underground.
‘Then you don’t have to wonder.’
[… That sounds ridiculous. You just saw the picture and you’re telling me not to be curious? That’s what I mean.
Do you think it will work?]
It was a fragment of the darkness of the Kuga and part of karma. The less people knew about it, the better.
all.
[Have you hidden an underground treasure chest?]
‘Treasure? No way.’
If that were the case, it would be really nice. Unfortunately, there is no treasure in the basement of the house.
That doesn’t exist.
What was there was not something shiny, desirable, or treasured.
I |… …
…
…
… … .
‘I think there were several different names, but I can only think of one.
It didn’t go up.’
There was something that Cheonma, and no one else, said.
-It looks like you’ve dragged hell into it.
I remembered the way he spoke with a big smile on his face. Hell, yes, the Heavenly Horse is underground.
He said it was hell.
It was a word that felt very fitting to me.
The sun has set and evening has come.
I didn’t meet anyone during the sunset.
It was because I needed to spend time alone.
When the time came, I went to see the governor as my father had said.
The location of the basement is not that far away. It is under the central building where the main house is located.
Advertisements
Because it’s there.
I slowly went down the stairs, following the general’s instructions.
Squeak-squeak-!
Every time I went down the stairs, I heard sounds coming from here and there, giving off an ominous atmosphere.
all.
I came down the stairs, which weren’t that high, in a short time.
This means that the underground location is not that deep.
“I will wait here.”
When I got down the stairs, the general spoke to me.
It means I can’t go with you anymore. I walked away, leaving the general behind.
Woof… .
As I walked through the long passage, I heard a ringing in my ears. The curtain must have opened by this time.
It is.
This is also why the general is waiting outside.
The only ones who can break through the barrier without any trouble are the blood relatives of the Goo family.
Among them, there is only my father and me.
Even the Heavenly Horse, who was supposed to destroy everything and stand in the sky, could not break the barrier.
I managed to break through the bar while wearing a helmet, but I couldn’t break it.
I couldn’t do it.
It’s really absurd that even such a being can’t do anything.
Because it felt like something I couldn’t do no matter what I did.
As I walked along the road, I finally reached the door. There was a very small empty space in the huge door.
There is one.
He put the seal he received from his father in there.
Kiriririk.
There was a faint sound of the device moving, and the door began to slowly open.
Kuuung…!
Kuuung.
The space that opens is very narrow compared to the size of the door, but it is easy to go in and out.
It is at a level where there is no problem.
I hesitated for a moment in the empty atmosphere filled with darkness, but I closed my eyes tightly and relaxed.
Put it in.
thud!
As the body leaves, the door at the back closes as if it had been waiting.
The closing speed was much faster than when it opened.
Advertisements
Hwaaaaak-!
Lights gradually begin to come on in a space where nothing was visible.
I didn’t use the Guyeon Hwarin Gong. The light came into the space by itself.
all.
By the time the lights were halfway turned on in the room.
[… What the heck is this… .]
Shin Noya’s trembling voice is heard in my ears. I was used to the darkness, so I was able to hear the sound.
I opened my eyes, which had been wide open, slightly.
The wide space was still there. It was a huge space that made you wonder if it could be built underground.
Unlike the time it took to come down, the size of the space is huge.
As if I had come to a different space.
Clank.
BAM-! BAM-!
The lights come on and immediately noises come from all directions: the sound of hitting the walls, the sound of breaking iron.
Tapping sounds, scratching sounds with fingernails, etc.
Countless noises rush in as if to torment your ears, but this is all you can hear.
No it wasn’t.
-ah….
A voice was heard. Not just one, but many voices.
-Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
-It’s not a big goblin, it’s a small goblin and it’s really ugly.
—Kill… kill… kill… kill •••kill.
-Let me out… Let me out quickly!! I’ll go out and kill them all aaaaaaaah!!
—Baby… Baby, come here… Come here… Come here!
[What on earth is this…? Where is this?]
Boom! Boom!
There are dozens of prison-like spaces filling the walls.
Just looking at it makes me feel dizzy. It’s more like someone is provoking me than a complicated situation.
It was a feeling.
-It doesn’t work… It doesn’t work… It doesn’t work? Are they the same guy?
-If you let me go, I’ll let you live…
[Hey, baby…! This is…]
‘Just a moment, please be quiet for a moment.’
My head was already spinning, and now I could hear Shin Noya’s words
No it wasn’t.
That’s why I didn’t want to come here, but I didn’t even go to the center and just stayed at the entrance.
And yet it’s at this level.
‘•••I still feel like shit.’
Advertisements
In front of the entrance, another door is firmly closed and facing this way.
That place was real. This place wasn’t that important.
But there’s no need to go yet. This is our destination for today.
I still hear dozens of voices in my head at the same time, but my body recognizes them.
My heart started to pound and I started feeling a little better.
He let out a sigh and whispered quietly.
“■■■.”
[•••Huh? What did you just say, Aesong?]
Shin Noya stopped asking questions. As I spoke, the sounds heard from all directions
Because it stopped as if it was an auditory hallucination.
A brief moment of silence.
And what broke the silence was a voice heard nearby.
-What are you?
Although it is called a prison, there are no bars or anything blocking it. It is just a thin, thin-looking barrier.
Only one is barely holding it back.
In the darkness where no light could penetrate, a palm pressed hard against a transparent membrane.
-Young goblin, tell me what you just said.
I walked in the direction where I heard the sound as if I had been waiting.
-How did you bring my name to your lips? Where did you hear it? How did you know? What?
Did you find it?
As I get closer, the owner of the voice gradually appears.
[•••!]
I heard Shin Noya swallow his breath when he saw the bastard’s true identity.
That would be it. He had the exact same face and body type as me.
There was no difference, except that she was naked.
He asked me.
-When, when, when did we last see each other?
“It’s been about four years.”
It must have been around that time. If we’re going by today’s standards.
-That’s right! That’s right. I have no sense of time because I’m here, but it’s strange.
Huh? I saw you, but you didn’t see me, so why wouldn’t you be surprised?
I looked at him with a blank face. When I didn’t respond, he changed his expression.
It’s long.
-This doesn’t surprise me, then how about this?
Knock knock! The bastard’s face twists terribly. Not just his face, but his body as well.
You, your body shape changed in an instant.
This guy’s appearance was exactly like my father’s face.
Advertisements
-Oh…! Oh oh… Oh? Aren’t you surprised by this too?
That was enough to see that the guy couldn’t get out of the underground.
am.
After checking that, I turned around. I didn’t want to be here anymore.
-Huh? You’re leaving already? Little goblin, little goblin, wait a minute!
At his call, I turned my head and looked at him.
Then he waves his hand and smiles brightly.
With my father’s face and body type.
-It was nice meeting you. See you next time.
My expression crumpled at the bastard’s greeting. I was going to see it anyway.
I didn’t say anything. I just walked out the door again.
That’s all.
After I left, the flames on the wall disappeared as if they had been waiting for me, and the space
Once again, only silence and darkness remain.
In the gap, the guy whispered quietly.
-This goblin is a bit different. Right?
There was no answer in return.
“Uuuuk… .”
As soon as I got out of the door, I vomited. I could barely get anything out.
I blocked it, but the disgusting feeling didn’t go away.
[•••Aesong-ah.]
After vomiting a few more times, I finally managed to stagger over and lean against the wall.
“•••Noya, don’t you feel anything?”
[What else are you talking about, those weird voices?]
“•••Thank goodness you don’t feel anything.”
Noya didn’t seem to feel anything, but I felt different.
As soon as I set foot in the space, my mind started to shake. How long had I been there?
The view I had of the meal seemed to be much more than that, but it was probably not more than half an angle.
‘Fuck….’
I wondered if there were any side effects to the regression, but it felt much more serious than in my previous life.
You’re just talking nonsense when you get to the door.
Gulp, something felt like it was flowing from my nose, so I wiped it and found that it was bleeding.
He wiped the blood away with his sleeve.
“Hey, I’m already tired.”
I don’t want to do anything. I’m holding onto the wall to support my body.
The night is talking incomprehensibly.
[The wind is blowing.]
“yes ?”
Advertisements
The wind? There’s no place for the wind to blow in that confined space.
Noya adds, as if trying to clear up the doubt.
[I can’t feel anything at all. The concept of sense doesn’t exist in the spirit body.
Because it seems like it.]
“•••then?”
[But I could feel the wind from the door across from me.]
“Is it the wind?”
[Aesong-ah.]
“Yes, Noya.”
[Is there anything you can explain?]
“ ”
I smiled bitterly at Noya’s question. Can you explain it? It’s really difficult.
It’s a question.
Sometimes Noya takes care of me like this.
You’re such a picky and ill-tempered old man, but you only say things like this at times like this.
Because of that, I felt like the pangs of conscience that I didn’t want to feel were piling up.
[Judging from the reaction, it seems like it’s still too early.]
“I can tell you what I can do.”
There are probably more things I can’t say, but I plan to say what I can.
Since I’ve already been underground and watched the short story, I can’t help but be curious.
“•••But first, I want to rest. I’m a little tired.”
Noya didn’t say anything to my words. It was an unspoken consideration to do so.
It is.
I went out to meet the general I had left behind with weary steps.
After handing the seal over to the governor, he went straight to his residence. Originally, he was going to see his father.
I had to go, but it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to meet you in your current state.
I walked along the night road. In the meantime, my thoughts continued to run through my head.
‘It wasn’t him. Then who was it?’
As far as I know, he’s the only one with that trait.
If not that guy, is he a concubine wearing a human mask? I can’t say that without paying attention.
It was not easy to fill it, and there were also stories that the group’s memories seemed to have been manipulated.
It takes time.
My thoughts are increasing.
My head was already hurting. My shoulders were heavy. Silence had piled up to the point of being tiresome.
It feels like everything is being carried on my shoulders.
What is on my shoulders? I have enough work to do, but why does it seem like there is so much?
Can you feel it all?
[Wake up, your breathing is ruined.]
‘I’m preparing. I’m still working hard.’
So that you don’t let go.
Maybe it’s because it’s a cold autumn night, but my breath is leaking out.
Advertisements
Maybe it was because I was mentally exhausted, but I felt the cold that I should not have felt because I had learned the art of painting.
all.
I arrived at the place with slow steps. When I arrived, the servants said something to me.
It seemed like it was happening though.
I had to give a vague answer and go into my room. I opened the door with a creaking sound and went in.
There were two familiar people.
“Oh.. I’m here.”
“master!”
The above were Seol Ah and Namgung Bi Ah.
Why? Why are you here?
“•••That, that, that father… told me to go here… .”
Namgungbi Ah started talking as if she was making an excuse. She probably knew that I would hate it.
It seemed like he was taking it out.
Listening to what he said, it seemed like Namgung Jin was doing something. He put a pillow next to him at Namgung Bi-a’s words.
Wi Seol-ah, who had been hugging him, also started making excuses.
“Oh, my sister said she was going to sleep….”
I think I saw this picture at the Volcano Party. What did I say then?
A. I couldn’t think of anything.
The two seemed to be adding something to what I said.
I had no strength to listen any longer, so I collapsed into their arms with my exhausted body. Soon
You can immediately feel the soft skin.
“•••Huh!”
“Master… .”
[I was so worried about you, but this damn thing…]
I heard more voices, but I couldn’t stand the approaching water and fell asleep.
I heard.
