Perhaps these young fish are marlin cubs. It must have been carried out of his domain and kept within his field of vision.
Even though he was bigger than me to be called a cub.
Perhaps the marlin saw its own place as the safest place.
But even that is over as long as it hangs on me.
────!
A marlin was approaching from behind, radiating fierce momentum. Anyway, I couldn’t do anything more than necessary as long as I was in front of it.
I smiled and turned around. An angry marlin was approaching me in front of me.
“Looks like a child. See you coming soon.”
[What are you going to do?]
“Okay.”
There were so many ideas springing up that it was hard to know how to deal with them.
I’ll have to calm down the glowing guy first.
“stop. If you come any closer, I will kill all your cubs.”
A movement that immediately subsides at my threats.
A guy with a good brain knows it’s hard to deal with me, so I accepted it, but I guess he’s not a bastard.
A guy tried to approach me. Did you think you wouldn’t be able to see me because I turned around?
👌👌👌👌👌
He immediately cast Blade Storm, inflicting serious injuries. Even if the parents say that they are positive stage monsters, the cubs are just cubs.
The other cubs flew around, shuddering.
“If you fool around one more time, I will kill you right away.”
At my warning, the cubs were also silent. I fixed my gaze on the marlin who was watching me.
There were holes in various places after having endured it several times, but it looked fine. Even that, it was in a state of full recovery because of his good recovery.
It was a pity that I couldn’t test it properly because it moved so fast, but it went well.
If that’s the case, then you can target it properly.
I said to the marlin
“If you stand still and take my attacks, I will give them time to escape. The longer you last, the farther your cubs will be able to run away.”
[Ah, the devil!]
An unprecedented situation is taking place where Shinsoo believes in the devil.
I just do my best to achieve what I want.
No matter what Yong-yong said or not, I looked at the marlin. It was interesting to see what decision he would make.
Because Hyegwangshim worked hard, the monster language would have been activated and he would have understood what I was saying.
ugh play!
The guy who thought about it for a long time answered. Roughly interpreted in monster language, it was ‘accepted’.
It is the heart of a tearful parent.
You might have thought it was worth it to get a few rounds of bullets. Or was he thinking of sacrificing himself for his children? Either way, it is true that weaknesses are exposed.
If so, you should actively use it.
“Hold on.”
────!
As soon as I raised my hand, the marlin roared, and the chicks behind them quickly started to run away. Running away faster than I thought.
I didn’t care, I cast Force Refinement on the bullet and fired it.
Pub! Bubbly!
Dozens of bullets lodged in the marlin. The marlin’s injuries grew out of control due to my riot. I didn’t intentionally kill him because I had to play the role of a sandbag properly.
As long as it can be accurately hit, Force Refining can inflict fatal wounds even on positive level monsters. If I get used to it, I will be able to kill two-horned monsters and divine creatures.
It’s good that the hassle of just aiming at the head is gone. When I became a two-horned monster or a divine beast, I was able to take full advantage of the monotonous attack if I only aimed at the head.
There’s no reason to let yourself be defeated in a water fight.
It was when more than a hundred attacks raged the marlin.
After roughly measuring the power, I set out to deal with the aftermath.
“It has gone quite far. Let’s go, Yong-yong.”
[You are a real devil.]
“hurry.”
[okay.]
Yong-yong accepted it with a sign of reluctance and then moved me to space.
The place I arrived at was where the marlin cubs fled. The guys, who had been running away with all their might, looked startled when I appeared in front of them.
“First one.”
I ran in earlier and fired a bullet at the injured guy.
puck!
The man with his sharp upper jaw broken and his head sunken lost his life. I didn’t stop there, but took care of the other bastards one by one.
Shall I just let the guys who will become relapses because I’m crazy?
Even if it was a child of a plus-level monster, it was a child. It can’t be a threat right now. But given the time, you never know. As long as I’ve already become a Cheolcheon supporter, I can’t rule out the possibility that I’ll grow up like this and become annoying later on.
Even the slightest possibility must be thoroughly trampled so that there is no setback.
They scattered all over the place and tried to run away, but they went to them one by one and removed them all.
When the young were all bleeding and drooping, a marlin approaching from afar approached.
No need to go far, he came to me.
────!
Seeing the slaughtered cubs, the marlin howled. A desperate heart to think of the children spread outside. So why do you bring these cubs to a place where you fight like that?
You should know that if you are targeting others, you can also be targeted.
Ah, if you look at the inside story, you are a victim. Because it’s not what I did anyway.
Thanks to this, it was nice to be able to easily test the power of the gift.
The marlin, engulfed in anger, charged back and forth, but it was only a cliché to allow injuries and produce unexpected results.
puck!
The head of a marlin that was hit by a mine was sunk. The guy who had exhausted all his strength to come here with already fatal wounds stopped breathing.
Still, he died on the same day and at the same time as his son, so I guess we can go to the underworld together.
I grabbed the drooping marlin carcass and dragged it to the surface. I pretended not to, but fighting in the sea was too much of a force consumption.
I’m craving something like underwater breathing, but should I look for it as a dog?
[You are the devil. There’s no reason to find the devil anywhere else. Here’s the devil. Because of you, all the demons must have lost their jobs and starved to death… … .]
“What are you so fussy about?”
[If you look at today’s battle, the word devil is bound to come out. You are a real devil.]
Grabbing the opponent’s weakness and making good use of it, it’s a bit of a stretch.
I just did my best to win.
Yong-yong listened to the words with one ear, spilled them through the other, put his hand into the marlin’s heart, and ingested the blood. It is a task to find out what kind of gift there is.
“It’s nothing.”
There was only one gift inherent in the heart of the marlin, and it was a ‘charge’ with a sharply protruding upper jaw.
If I were to charge, it wouldn’t help, so of course the gift was garbage.
But the taste may be different.
“I think sashimi would be delicious.”
It was quite large, but I remembered that it was moving dynamically, and I took the body and headed for Okinawa.
It’s Okinawa, so there must be sushi masters, right?
* * *
When I arrived after catching a marlin, the whole of Okinawa was engulfed in a festive mood.
The demon that wasolates them on the island and tries to destroy the entire city is gone, so it’s a natural reaction.
I asked Josuke, with the help of the best chefs in Okinawa, to sear the marlin, left only what I ate, and donated the rest. It’s quite large, so several people can eat it.
The strange thing about this guy is that the scales, which were hard even during battles, have changed like other fish when they stop breathing.
Of course, it was a little tougher, but it was at a level that experts did not feel much difficulty in dismantling it.
After receiving the most delicious cut, Yong-yong took care of it.
The guy who refused at first has been eating more and more since he tasted the eyeballs of the pangodri.
“How are you?”
[tasty!]
It should be delicious, because I wasn’t giving it away for free.
The marlin sashimi I ate in that way was not bad. Although it is called a sub-class of tuna, it never loses its taste. The gift was garbage, but the sashimi left behind is fine.
“It’s all thanks to Choin. Thank you for your help.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“no. Even if they had great power, everyone only rolled their heads thinly, and there was no one who was ready to step forward like Superin-nim. Thanks again. You are the benefactor of Okinawa.”
“I appreciate it.”
Being a benefactor of Okinawa doesn’t mean much, but there’s no reason to hate that you like me.
If I think about it, Okinawa can be a pretty good intermediate point when I go far by boat.
To do that, Josuke has to protect Okinawa for a long time, but seeing that he is protecting Okinawa until the end this time doesn’t look bad.
Shall I do the public justice in moderation?
Josuke was busy praising me, and Tamaki next to me joined in. Then, suddenly, with a serious expression on his face, he said to me.
“Choin, there is something I want to ask you.”
“What?”
“It is a story about the future of Okinawa.”
This, I have a feeling that my head will hurt just by hearing the first word.
I looked like I didn’t want to hear it, but Josuke shared his thoughts.
“As a result of mobilizing all of our intelligence, it is true that Aoi Wazawai attacked because the central government kidnapped them. In the course of transportation, they passed through Okinawa, and Aoi Wazawai found traces of the cubs left here and attacked them.”
Part of Josuke’s anger is that the government has deliberately taken measures to attract aggression to Okinawa.
In the meantime, the mainland will be safe.
It may sound like an absurd paranoia of persecution, but it was in this world dominated by demons that it happened casually.
“This is blatant discrimination! No matter how discriminatory it is from the mainland, how can they do such a horrific thing… … !”
Tamaki spoke on behalf of Josuke, who was engulfed in anger and was unable to speak.
“I don’t think this is everyone’s problem. Now on the mainland we have a lot of friends who insist we should help. We are working with those friends to uncover the truth behind this incident.”
“Yes, good luck.”
There is no reason for me to worry about roasting each other inside.
But after dealing with politicians so far, I wouldn’t even have said it if it was going to end here.
Unsurprisingly, Tamaki, who was watching me, spoke out cautiously.
“Superin-nim, I don’t care, but may I ask you a favor?”
“I’ll give it to you.”
“Yes?”
I guess I’ve been very happy. In the past, if I saw an intention to use me, I would break my head first.
I decided not to kill him because it was supposed to end well.
“I have no intention of getting involved in any troublesome things. Especially if it’s a foreign job. Even if things go well, even if things go wrong, the special envoy knows well what is not good for me.”
“Choin, don’t do that, just help me once!”
“I already said no.”
“… … .”
As he spoke firmly, Josuke’s mouth closed. It’s a bit awkward, but it’s much better than getting caught up in trouble.
Tamaki has a face that leaves a lot of regret, but when she looked at me, she meekly gave up.
“I understand the desire to make things easier, but it will be possible to accept the results only when the parties are responsible.”
“Yes, sorry.”
There’s no reason for me to get involved anymore.
I set aside a seat so that they could support and stir-fry among themselves.
In any case, scheming prevails everywhere, and the relationship of biting and biting continues.
They say that I am on the free side, but I wondered if I was really free in the endlessly entangled center.
“It would be unavoidable to have a social life.”
I’m talking about intertwining and continuing relationships with people.
If you don’t like it, you become a villain, there’s no reason to do that now.
The flow that improved around me by turning my head a little wasn’t bad either.
Above all else, as long as there are outstanding people around me, there is nothing to give me an advantageous position.
[After all, aren’t you going to do what you want?]
“Neither do you. why?”
[Because I feel sorry for the people who have to deal with you.]
Pretending to be concerned about humans in the subject of divine beasts.
“If you have something you want to say, say it.”
[how did you know?]
“If you twist your body like that, wouldn’t it be read that you have something you want to say?”
[Did I?]
I waited for Yong-yong’s next words to answer naturally.
[I will meet Hyuna.]
“Are you going to Kim who came nearby?”
[yes. And I was wondering if you knew the inside story.]
Well, if it was Hyuna, maybe she knew the details.
Anyway, I had no right to stop Yong-yong from coming and going, so I let him go.
Instead, he left only one suggestion.
“When you come, bring your friend’s money.”
[What?]
Yong-yong screamed in shock.
[Why all of a sudden friend bill?]
“Did you eat what I gave you? Then you should bring your friend’s money.”
[Isn’t that just giving?]
Did you know that the hard-caught marlin sashimi was given away for free?
“To be friends, we need to be clear in our calculations.”
[I moved the space!]
“Ah, yes.”
[Wow! If I was careless, I would have just passed. you! Don’t give me food in the future! No, don’t give me anything! You’ll never get it!]
I thought it would fall over if I stab it in the middle of my mind, but it turned out to be a pity.
We decided to postpone the collection of the friend’s fee to the next opportunity.
