273. Noisy Reunion
‘I’m a little worried.’
I was going down the mountain following the instructions of the mountain commander who told me to return to North Weden as it was necessary to monitor the situation.
I couldn’t help but be concerned about the strange being that appeared beyond the mountain range.
‘Great power.’
Honestly, it feels a bit inadequate to even express it as huge.
A truly great power that even Sangun would be evaluated as a few numbers lower.
But I feel familiar with it.
I feel the same as the hundreds of millions of souls I have collected.
It seemed like something was wrong with Deius’ body and soul.
‘Is that possible?’
To get out of the general store, you must use Deius’ body.
But I wondered if the souls would just see that.
The souls came after hearing my words, and there were also many souls who were friendly to me.
‘I will not stand by and allow a certain spirit to use my body carelessly.’
Because I knew that, I was able to go outside and look around the world without having to wait inside the general store.
Because there are hundreds of millions of souls, unexpected situations may occur.
But this was also true in the opposite situation.
‘Hundreds of millions of souls actually become watchdogs.’
Even though I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer right away. Therefore, first of all, it was necessary to check from a distance what purpose that being was moving for.
“Hmm?”
The road coming down the mountain and heading to the city.
When Deia, who was leading, stopped, Soho and I, who were behind her, also naturally stopped walking.
There was no need to ask what was going on.
Because suddenly a familiar woman was standing in front of me just by the sound of her breathing.
“Ha! Ha!”
She ran so fast that it was my first time seeing her out of breath just from running.
“Just stay still for now. Without speaking.”
Deia gave me a signal to pretend not to notice, but I shook her head.
I’ve already been caught.
Pass Soho and Deia and head forward along the road.
Because of my white skin, my red cheeks were even more noticeable, and I knew that the light moisture around my eyes wasn’t just sweat.
“… ….”
No words were spoken between us. Because the explanation wasn’t as necessary as I thought.
Finden Ai stood there with her mouth open, letting out her hot breath.
She approaches her cautiously.
“I’ll tell you first.”
After a breakup that was short and long. The moment of reunion has come again.
It would be unsightly to say a lot of things while talking over the phone.
Travel route.
Travel is usually said to be a time to escape from a tiring life, relieve fatigue, reflect on oneself, and recover.
In the meantime, I saw various worlds, experienced emotions, and organized various thoughts about the people around me.
That’s why I say something somewhat honest that I can say because I am Kim Shin-woo, not Deius Verdi.
“I missed you.”
“This…” … !”
Her body tilts and is pushed behind her by the weight of the Finden child that rushed at her. As she was hugged to me, I carefully hugged her and enjoyed the brief lingering feeling of her.
Has it been a while since I smoked a cigarette? Instead of the strong tobacco scent that usually flowed from her body, a somewhat dull scent of books was coming out of her.
That alone made me feel like I could see how she was doing in North Sweden.
“You didn’t dirty my study, did you?”
While spending time in the study in my room, I suddenly felt lonely.
She must have fallen asleep again, cozy in her scent.
I find that look rather lovely.
I carefully hugged Findenai’s body.
Findeneye still said nothing. She was just in my arms, hugging me rather roughly as if she would never let me go again.
I was glad it was her prosthetic body.

If it had been Deius’ body, her efforts to dig deeper to hide her tears would have been in vain.
“If you hold it too tight, it will break.”
Carefully placed her hand on her head. It was an especially welcome moment to see Findeneye’s white hair gently swept away.
“Come back, come back.”
A condensed word, like a short exclamation, finally flowed from her mouth.
“Everything… “It’s a good thing.”
“Yes.”
If someone tells me.
If you ask me what was the best part of this trip, which was longer than I expected.
Several scenes will certainly come to mind.
The wide open meadow I saw when I first walked out the door of the general store.
Animals full of vitality that I saw wandering through the forest to find the city.
By chance, we arrived at an unknown coastline following the smell of salt.
An imperial city with an impressive oriental style.
But in the end, the answer was decided.
What I enjoyed most about traveling was that I had actually set foot on a lot of land with my own two feet.
There was a place to return to.
“Thank you for waiting.”
* * *
It felt as if the whole story had ended, but in fact, that was not the case.
We all gathered together in my office for the first time in a long time.
Wow!
Iluania’s child, Sevilla, smiles while being held in my arms. It was hard for me to realize that such a small child contained countless possibilities and diverse emotions.
“He is growing well and healthy.”
When Iluania said that she had served her tea, I nodded and pressed Sebia’s cheek.
It was slightly sticky with saliva, but it was also baby-like.
“I’m glad.”
“… ….”
“For Deius’ sake, you need to be happy enough.”
Illuania, who was about to put down the teacup on the table and take a step back, hesitates for a moment.
She looked back and forth between me and Sevilla and then smiled.
“Sebia is growing well, and the owner has returned. “I couldn’t be happier.”
Master.
You still call me that, not Deius.
Her wry smile appeared slightly, but Finden Ai, who was sitting next to her, crossed her legs and joined in.
“Why is Shinwoo the owner? “We are equals.”
“… ….”
“No?”
In any case, it can be said that it is typical of a Finden child that she returned to her normal state as soon as some time had passed.
“Don’t call me CNU.”
I didn’t like it when they called my name so casually.
When she warned with a slight frown, Finden Eye’s eyes widened and she glanced at Deia, who was sitting opposite her.
The two nodded and spoke in unison as if they were in agreement about something.
“It’s Deius.”
“That’s right, Deius.”
“… ….”
It was a little jarring because I was convinced of what I had just seen, but anyway.
Anyway, I had to start a conversation, so I winked at Iluania.
She carefully opens the door and asks Darius, who was standing outside.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Huh! Well, then! “Gwae, it’s okay!”
When I say my words are watery, I guess I’m just referring to Darius as he is now.
Darius came back into the room with his eyes turning red from so much crying.
He clears his throat, clears his throat, and looks at me again.
Then.
“Whoa! Ugh! Hmm!”
I started crying.
“Oh, f*ck.”
The Finden child, who had been told to go out and cry because she didn’t want to see a man cry, immediately lifted her head up and pretended not to see.
“If you leave, act like the head of the family…” … Ha, I don’t know.”
Deia, who was repeating what she had already said several times, finally gave up, curling up against Finden Eye and cupping her face with both hands.
aaah!
Only Sebia was enjoying watching Darius cry.
“Ah, huh! No! Hmm! Me, Namdong Saae! Turn around, sigh! Because I’m back!”
“Okay. Thank you for calling me younger brother. First, let’s move on with the story. “This is already the third time.”
This is the third time I’ve cried like that and couldn’t stop, so I went outside to collect myself.
At this level, it was correct to think that they just couldn’t get it together.
It means that they valued me that much, but that’s only to a certain extent.
I felt like my emotions were fading because this mess had happened three times already.
“If anyone can see that that bastard is a lover. “You two didn’t sleep at night, did you?”
In the end, Finden Eye can’t stand it anymore and lets out a strange sound.
Her displeasure suddenly rose and she glared at her, but Finden Eye caught her gaze and she grinned.
“f*ck, it’s so f*cking adorable. “Shall we kiss?”
I’m not a guy who’s doing some kind of dating thing… ….
“Choose what you say in front of the child.”
“Then go get a room. Instead, if we get out of here, it won’t end with a kiss.”
“It’s in front of the child.”
I use Seville as an excuse to deviate from what she said.
However, with the meeting still not progressing, Deia eventually takes out her pistol-sized magic power gun from her arms.
“Let’s not tarnish the family name and just put this on our temple and pull. How is it? Day…… No, since Shinwoo and I are together, there is no problem of succession.”
“…… Pelvis of the kidney?”
“Tsk.”
Deia, who was about to hit something, clicks her tongue and fiddles with her magic power gun for no reason.
“Hmm! Okay, it’s okay! Now! “For the crisis in North Sweden, ugh!”
“Oh, should I just shoot?”
Finden Ai grins and suggests to Deia, who sighs after hearing Darius’ answer.
“Let’s decide with rock, paper, scissors.”
“Yes, Illuania and Shinwoo are also included. “Sevilla doesn’t have the strength to pull the trigger yet, so I’ll take it out.”
“… ….”
“Keuuup! Me, Mia! “hehehe!”
Crackling!
With the cries and laughter of the eldest Darius and the youngest Sebia coexisting, it seemed like it would take some time to proceed with the meeting.
* * *
[…] … Hmm?]
Late evening.
Sitting on the rooftop of the royal palace in Gray Pond, the dark spirit priest, who was looking at the moon again today, felt his body tremble slightly.
What should I say?
The feeling of a wave that started from very far away, flowing and reaching you minutely.
[What was that just now?]
The gaze of the dark spirit, who was sitting on the railing and shaking his legs back and forth, turns to the place where the wave came.
It is very, very far away.
That is the north.
So, it was in the direction of North Sweden.
[…] … No way?]
The dark spirit slowly floats up and makes a subtle expression. Her heart pounded even though she was dead from the feeling of despair.
Rammer!
I tried to get closer to the north, but I couldn’t get any further away from Herald Hazard’s staff.
[Oh, I’m not sure, so don’t tell Stella.]
In the end, the dark spirit caught it through mana and tried to fly north without her knowing.
[…] … It would be best to tell Owen.]
She needed to inform the next funeral home, who was playing the piano on the rooftop every day.
She would be confused if she suddenly disappeared.
When they quietly arrived at Owen’s room in the royal palace, the boy wearing pajamas looked confused.
“Huh? “Have you left yet?”
[Yes?]
What are you talking about?
How did he know he was leaving?
No, not yet?
“Stella left 10 minutes ago because she felt a strange energy in North Weden.”
[…] ….]
The moment she heard those words, the dark spirit immediately turned around and went outside.
[I have the right to meet Deius for the first time when he returns!]
She mentioned that last time she won at rock-paper-scissors, and the Black Spirit quickly began to fly towards North Whedon.
