〈Episode 661〉 Villains and heroes.
I left the streets of Hanam and headed to my lodging.
By that time, the sun was gradually setting.
Since I remembered the way to the accommodation, it wasn’t too difficult to find.
However, I only spent a little time buying this and that.
‘He said he wouldn’t eat it, but he ate it really well when I bought it for him.’
I ate so much that I wondered why I took it out in the first place.
Still, it was better than not eating at all, so that was a relief.
The sun is setting.
The sunset was fading and night was approaching.
Both hands were full.
After buying all sorts of things, I ended up like this.
To be honest, I was too lazy to listen to it, so I wanted to write nonsense, but I had to hold back because it would have been too noticeable.
Even.
‘He heard more… .’
Wi Seol-ah, who was walking next to me, was carrying more than me.
Judging from his smiling face, he seems to be in a pretty good mood.
Looking at that expression, I felt like anything would matter.
‘Rather than that now….’
As I walked, I thought back to what had just happened.
It’s about the non-realization.
‘I was so surprised that I forgot.’
Due to the sudden appearance of Wi Seol-ah, I forgot to put magic energy into Bi Hyeon-hwa.
‘It’s a bit of a waste.’
Since I’ve already planted something in Beomdong, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t go as far as Bihyeonhwa, according to the plan.
Even so, I couldn’t help but feel regretful.
What’s more,
‘… That damn bitch, you ran away without even paying for tea?’
She was so desperate that she didn’t even give me money, so I had to pay for hers too.
‘Just try to meet me next time.’
I bet they’d take at least ten times as much. Even thinking about it now makes me feel like I’m going to die.
‘Damn, why is tea so expensive again?’
It’s not even alcohol, it’s tea, but it’s ridiculously expensive. What kind of people are these people who drink it and say it’s good?
I’m sure Mo Yong-hee had anticipated this and made it, but she really didn’t know it would work.
I thought, who would pay that much money to have tea and snacks at a guest house?

The food was very delicious.
The taste was also quite good.
I bought a bunch of them even though I knew they were a waste of money. They were so good.
‘Do you like it?’
I heard that Wi Seol-ah said it was good, but she was originally like that, so let’s just say that’s how it is.
I wondered if the other kids would eat well.
of course.
‘If you don’t eat it, Wi Seol-ah will eat it all.’
No need to worry about food being left over.
Should I consider this a blessing…?
While walking so slowly.
Sabak.
As I pass through the forest path lit by lanterns, I feel a presence.
I turned my gaze there.
“Eww!”
Tang So-yeol suddenly popped out through the grass.
His head was covered in leaves, indicating that he had come from along the road.
I wasn’t surprised by her appearance.
Because I had been feeling the energy for a long time.
“Confucius!”
As soon as Dang So-yeol spots me, he smiles brightly.
Since I didn’t have any hands at the time, I used my energy to clean up the leaves that had fallen on Tang Xiaoyeol, and then looked at her and asked her.
“Where have you been?”
Clearly, Tang So-yeol’s presence was felt around the guest house, but at some point, her energy disappeared.
I thought there was something to do, so I just let it pass.
It seemed like he was wandering around instead of going to his accommodation.
“Oh, I just have something to do.”
Dang So-yeol answered with a smile.
I nodded my head after hearing that.
‘Just something to do?’
My heart wasn’t completely calm.
‘I smell blood.’
To Dang So-yeol, it is faint but definitely smells like blood. He must have erased it if he tried.
As I reached a higher level and finished shedding my skin, my five senses were extremely heightened.
The scent is so faint that you can smell it easily.

So, I don’t know what Dang So-yeol has been doing.
I could tell that he hadn’t come from doing anything peaceful.
It just doesn’t show.
‘There must be a reason for not saying anything.’
After thinking about it that far, I asked Dang So-yeol.
“Rice.”
“I didn’t eat.”
“Why? It’s already this late, so what are you doing instead of eating?”
“I was planning to eat with Confucius.”
“What kind of nonsense is that? There are three meals a day, so if I’m not here, you won’t eat any of them?”
“That could be… ugh!”
His ridiculous words hit me hard in the head.
Since I didn’t have any hands, I had to hit them with my energy.
“You’re making strange noises.”
“this person….”
I ignored it because Tang So-yeol was pretending to be sick and groaning.
Let’s pretend not to know. Only then does Dang So-yeol wrinkle his nose, get up, and quickly walk towards Wi Seol-ah.
Then he takes one side of the load that Wi Seol-ah was carrying.
I had to tilt my head at the natural appearance.
“When did you guys say hello?”
“yes?”
“yes?”
Dang So-yeol and Wi Seol-ah widened their eyes in surprise at my question.
There is not even a question of how you are doing or a greeting saying it is nice to meet you.
It was so subtle how he carried the load so naturally.
As far as I remember, there was no situation where we could greet each other.
I looked at it wondering what on earth it was.
“… No, that… that.”
Tang So-yeol reacted as if he was somehow embarrassed.
I was wondering what was so embarrassing.
“I said hello to you earlier.”
On the contrary, Wi Seol-ah answered me in a calm voice.
“when?”
“Um. Before going to the guest house where the Confucius is.”
“…huh?”

If you’re talking about the guest house, I think you’re talking about the place where you met Bihyeonhwa.
When did you say hello back then?
No matter how much I think about it, I just nod my head in confusion at the situation.
“I said hello then.”
Wi Seol-ah said that with a big smile.
Don’t ask any more. That was the kind of smile that was full of such hints.
“Oh, yeah. Yeah. That could be possible.”
Instinct was speaking.
I’m telling you, you shouldn’t ask any more questions.
So I decided to just skip this too.
Maybe nothing happened… . It definitely will.
******************
After returning to my accommodation, I changed my clothes as soon as I got there and quickly finished eating.
As soon as I got there, I was looking hard for a way to escape because of the ghost, but funny enough, the ghost wasn’t actually in the room.
It seemed like he said something had come up and would come back later.
It felt like my lifeline had been stretched.
After that, some people showed surprised expressions when they saw Wi Seol-ah suddenly join.
Since they were faces I didn’t know, I just thought, “Oh, okay,” and moved on.
Additionally, the upper side must have already known that Wi Seol-ah would arrive, so they gave her another location.
There were also some people coming from the North Sea, so we had to split up the group a bit.
However, the sick Namgungbia and Goeseon had to be placed in a sacred place.
“You show up after a month and start ordering an old man around. Are you out of your mind?”
Because of that, Shin-ui, who had to work right away, had a very annoyed expression on his face.
“You’ve been feeling a bit lonely lately anyway. It’s nice to have work to do.”
“That’s what they mean when they say they’re enjoying their free time…!”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you could be a little busier in your later years? I’ve heard that you mostly just play baduk.”
“This son of a bitch…?”
Although the god was angry at me for not saying a word, I knew that he was treating me diligently, as was his characteristic.
“How is it?”
“Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.”
Thump thump.
The god spoke while diligently grinding the herbs.
“Since they are both unmanned, their regenerative powers are high, so there won’t be any major problems. They might have scars, but since they are well treated, there’s nothing for me to worry about.”
“…okay.”
I made a bet on the way here to help with the treatment, and since I had already made arrangements before leaving, it seems there will be no problem.

“It will probably take three months for both of them to fully recover… but they will be able to move without any problems even after just one month.”
“thank you.”
Three months?
It’s a short period of time that feels long.
To say that Muin needed that much time also means that it was a great wound.
‘…after.’
Should I have hit it harder?
I guess that’s how it should have been.
As I was thinking about Woohyuk, I clenched my fist.
“But I have to.”
God calls me.
“What happened to you?”
“yes?”
“That body.”
“ah.”
right.
I remembered how I wasn’t feeling well before I left.
Of course, I thought it would be precarious to get to the non-armed level.
Now that I look back, I can’t help but wonder why he was so healed and even healthier.
“It was just a coincidence.”
“You keep saying it’s fate and then you come back better… Tsk tsk. If this keeps up, aren’t all the lawmakers going to die?”
No matter how much the world falls apart, I don’t think the congressman will die… .
I was dumbfounded when a gentleman who barely worked and only occasionally worked said that.
‘It’s not like chance happens that often.’
Fate is something that only exists for a lifetime.
It’s weird that I ate that like I was breathing.
“Well, anyway… . Is everything okay?”
“That’s a strange question for someone who just disappeared into the North Sea.”
“…”
He scratched his cheek awkwardly.
I had a favor to ask of you, but something came up and I had to leave for the North Sea in a hurry.
So it was not surprising that the gods were expressing their discontent in this way.
“Still, I did manage to block it to some extent.”
“…”
Shinyi didn’t say anything else in response to the words he spat out.
Advertisements
“… That’s why I’m curious. What on earth did you do?” “Well, I just blocked it in my own way.”
“under.”
It was a request from Shin Yi to stop the rumor that the descendants of the Zhuge family were plotting a rebellion.
I just listened to it.
At least on the surface.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that what you’re worried about doesn’t happen.”
He spat out the words and sat up slightly.
“Please take good care of me.”
As I was shaking off my body and talking about Namgungbia, Shin-ui looked at me and asked.
“Are you going?”
“Yes. I have to go to work now.”
“Day?”
It was almost time.
‘Honestly, I want to rest more.’
It was a long time since I had some leisurely time.
It’s only been a day since I got back.
I wanted to relieve my fatigue and spend the day a little lazy.
‘We have to move.’
That shouldn’t have happened.
I knew my subject well enough to waste time.
If you want to protect, you have to move. That thought alone was enough to get things going.
“If you do that, I will step aside first.”
He took the next step after paying homage to the god.
There is less than a month left until the non-combat event.
‘In it.’
I had to finish all the preparations.
******************
The setting sun is fading away.
A crescent moon rises against the dark sky.
When the moon rose above the lake, following the light.
Sabak.
I walked along the road.
It’s the same road I came by last time.
A location a little bit away from Hanam.
It was an area that was still underdeveloped.

Clang-!!
The sound of cicadas tickles my ears.
It’s quiet and still. And yet, it’s leisurely.
The forest, as always, exudes this kind of atmosphere.
but.
‘Well made.’
I knew this whole situation was set in stone.
Ttukbuk.
I changed my angle slightly while walking straight ahead.
Seongyul was following behind.
I brought it just in case.
one.
‘You can come alone next time.’
It seems like there is no need to bring Seongyul anymore.
Now I knew the way.
No, to be exact, I just now saw the path.
An artificially twisted space, within which the length is clearly visible.
I walked along that road.
I began to see things I had not seen before, and to feel things I had not felt before.
Is this simply a difference in leveling up?
No, it won’t be.
I could tell intuitively.
‘I don’t think it’s a faction.’
He stretched out his hand slightly and waved it in the air.
Woof.
I feel something.
‘Is it witchcraft?’
Heterogeneous forces discovered in the North Sea.
I thought this space and twist was magic.
I’m not sure yet, though.
As I was walking, gradually finding my way.
Sabak.
I felt a presence ahead of me, and then someone appeared and knelt down in front of me.
“… I meet you, master.”
A woman with light green hair and purple eyes similar to Dang So-yeol.

Now, Nahida has become a mine.
I looked at her and smiled.
“Long time no see. How have you been?”
I guess things haven’t been going well.
Because I had so much work to do.
I didn’t listen to Nahi’s answer and just walked past her.
Then, Nahi also got up as if she was used to it and followed me.
“I think the work went well. It wasn’t bad.”
“…thank you.”
“The situation… I’ll sort it out later and bring it to you.”
As he walked, he pulled the cracked mask out of his bosom.
at the same time.
Wood crunch-!
He gradually grew in size using gas transformation techniques.
In a matter of seconds, it transforms into a body that is a little less than eight feet tall.
Since he had originally been wearing a somewhat large uniform, it fit his enlarged body well.
Click.
He wore a mask that covered his transformed body and face.
After putting on the mask, I realized that it was time to go back to work.
[Nahi.]
He spoke to Nahi in a voice that had become even thicker.
“Yes, Master.”
[Go and tell the Lord of Heaven.]
The previous life’s Demon Lord who is staying in hiding.
Tell Pilduma.
[I have come to see you, so prepare to welcome me.]
“…I obey your orders.”
Soon Nahi turns to smoke and disappears.
[…]
I stopped walking, raised my head, and looked at the crescent moon.
And I thought to myself,
‘… I was feeling a little better just now?’
I think it looked a little cool to me.
I nodded with a sense of satisfaction creeping in.
