155 – 25: I met a new spirit. Actually, it’s not completely new.
The day after Christmas.
Unlike usual, the crazy girl is still quiet, so I woke up with Wooshin nuzzling my cheek as an alarm clock and thought as I took a shower and prepared for the promised meeting with Hwadeokjin.
Gyeongcheon says Hwadeokjin-gun is calling me for a simple survey and question. Does that make sense?
They’re trying to kill me, or they’re trying to use me to do something. I thought about many things, but I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t prepare for anything right now.
However, this is not like a disaster that I cannot prepare for. Unlike the rain god, blue dragon, and tree, Hwadeok Jingun is a divine spirit who serves ordinary people by the standards of this world.
Being for people means that the standard is extremely divine, so there is little chance that they will try to kill me.
So, the big breasts I saw before…… No, if you think of the Hwadeokjin Army, I don’t think there is anything to worry about.
Even if it’s not the case, I’m planning on taking the little boy along with me just in case something goes wrong.
I washed Wooshin’s hair and organized my thoughts. Cheongryong says he is scared of shampoo touching his head and sends out Wooshin every time he washes his hair. Shampoo is scary because he is the god who rules the sea, no, wait a minute.
“…… Ah, it’s a blue dragon now. “So you don’t like shampoo anymore?”
“I don’t like it… …. But since I might be naked with the captain, I’m going to wash my hair!”
“Is that so?”
When the child gets angry. Next time, I’ll have to wash alone. Hearing Cheongryong’s words, I put more pressure on my fingers and washed his hair. Anyway, what I want to say is that there is no need to worry.
The question is why did you bother to call me, but you will find out soon so it will be okay. As soon as I finished preparing to leave, I headed to the shrine at Jongmyo Shrine where I was supposed to meet Hwadeok Jin-gun.
Expecting what purpose Hwadeok Jin-gun had called me for, I arrived at an interior where red-colored decorations and various cast iron objects stood out. There, I saw the Furnace Jingun sitting on a splendid throne.
“Welcome. Thank you for coming here. Well, that’s it for the greetings. “Let’s get to the point.”
Hwadeok Jin-gun skipped over the formal greetings and got straight to the point.
This time, as soon as I saw the spirit, for the first time in a long time, I felt unpleasant emotions boiling up in my heart.
I thought it would be better to just finish what was necessary and let things go on good terms, so I heard why Hwadeokjin called me-
“Look, even though I gather a lot of believers, I still feel empty in a corner of my heart. I feel bored and lonely for no reason. I am noticed by people, but even though I am among people, I feel like I am alone.
When I see people together, my heart starts pounding and water comes out of my eyes at night. Are you in a bad mood for no reason and even touching metal, which is the thing you enjoy the most, becomes boring?
My student said he didn’t know what it was, and I wanted to talk about it like this because I was wondering if you, the first priest of Wooshin, would know something. Do you know what this is? If I knew – I would also make what you want come true.”
Hwadeokjin said this and grumbled that he couldn’t even get tools these days because of this.
I sighed at that. I didn’t know that the reason you called me was for counseling for a child who didn’t realize that he was lonely.
No, no. In many ways, I thought as I looked at Hwadeokjin, who had a large physique, tanned skin, and bright red hair.
This world will be a story where the main character connects with spirits, changes them, and grows together.
I vaguely remember the game description, and if I look at the relationship between the main character’s thoughts and the trees, I can be sure of this.
If a spirit has a relationship with a person, the change can be both positive and negative.
Beyond being a god or an evil spirit, if the person you have a relationship with is a bad person, it will be a huge disaster.
Well, it’s natural to vaporize a wall with a single sneeze, and since every minor action is a deity that is fatal to humans, there are very few big people who would think about such things.
There is no exorcist who has good feelings about evil spirits themselves.
The accident caused it to leak sideways. I came to my senses again.
If I didn’t mishear what Hwadeokjin said just now, is it because I’m lonely and want to make friends?
No, rather, it seemed like loneliness gave me a hint of depression, but it seemed like I was not actually thinking about being lonely. Or maybe you don’t even know what loneliness is.
Should I answer this? Can you solve this? Bright red, orange eyes, just like Gyeongcheon’s, are wide open and look at me.
Wooshin and Cheongryong seemed to understand at once what Hwadeokjingun wanted. Hmm! He smiled slightly and then smiled mischievously. It seems like she knows exactly what she wants.
I was worried for a split second.
We met Gyeongcheon’s eyes, but Gyeongcheon’s eyes did not dare to imagine that the god was truly lonely or feeling lonely.
It was a face where the accident did not go in that direction at all. Actually, I never thought that Shinryeong would suffer from depression or anything like that, so I have nothing to say.
But the reality has not changed, and the patient in front of me has decided to be the counselor based on his symptoms.
Then what if I tell you all of these things one by one? If Jingun of the fire pit is like that, he wants to be friends with me! It was easy to imagine something like that being said even without seeing it.
I’m not saying it’s bad. Yes, that could happen. Hwadeokjin-gun is also able to build relationships with people and grow. Isn’t friendship growth overcoming a good thing to hear?
But depression is a disease. If tears come out, it seems like the symptoms are quite severe. It’s obvious that it’s impossible to get counseling from a proper doctor, and medicine doesn’t seem to work either.
Where should I go to exercise? The moment I thought that, my eyes met the blue dragon, and someone came to mind.
Why is the blue dragon showing the eyes of such a familiar person these days? Even though he is someone I remember fondly, he is a person who is close to trauma.

＜ TIP: Spring has finally come to players. ＞
—-
This Mr. Bullom.
On such a day, the tip window came to mind as if teasing me, and I burst into tears and got angry.
I promised to leave good memories for Cheongryong and Wooshin, and because I couldn’t be angry at Tip Chang, who wasn’t even here right now, I swallowed my anger and said.
“I know someone who might know the answer to your concerns, Mr. Hwadeokjin. The kid is smart, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, so I’m sure he’ll be able to find the answer to that question.
The child’s name is A. He is an excellent exorcist and a child with trees. He will contact you to make arrangements.”
“Hmm! That’s great! If you can really tell me what this is thanks to that kid, I’ll grant you what you want! “It’s in my name!”
Hwadeokjin smiled brightly, saying that it would be good to have someone like that. With laughter, a halo appeared on my back, and for a moment my eyes hurt.
I smiled as I saw the blue dragon rubbing its cheek against my chest as if it was satisfied with this.
Okay, it’s good if you are satisfied.
As I looked at Hwadeok Jin-gun, who promised that he would fulfill his promise if the question was resolved through this, I opened my cell phone and said that I would send a call right away. And I wondered how to send the content.
After thinking about how to send a message for about 30 seconds, I conveyed the situation without mentioning the request.

Once the situation is explained to the protagonist, there is a high possibility that he will understand and help. Of course, I don’t intend to simply thank them for their help, but I also plan to give them money. With that in mind, I pressed the send message button.
[ A spirit I know said he was lonely at night, so I wanted to introduce you to him. I’m planning to introduce a new little spirit. Can you meet him? Of course, they will also give you money. ]
[ Uh…… What do you mean…… ? ]
Oh, is there something strange about the reaction? I stroked my chin at the embarrassment I felt beyond the text.
****
What followed was an attack by trees.
The reason was unknown. About 5 minutes after sending the message, instead of replying further, the tree rushed towards me with a shout like ‘If you try to touch my friend, no matter how much I forgive you, I won’t forgive you!’
When he rushed in, he didn’t just pull out a huge tree root and throw it away.
This refers to shaking one’s legs to the point where one cannot even stand properly while holding a thin wooden stick the length of a child’s calf.
I knew that the tree was scared of me and traumatized after almost stabbing it in the back, but I felt pitiful for it to be shaking like that.
“Because I am my best friend! Don’t let anyone else touch it! Because I am a god! Whatever the reason! Well, that doesn’t work! If you want to do it! “I will fight with you too!”
“Why are you fighting all of a sudden?”
Even his tongue is twisted, like a child whining. Why on earth does he talk like that?
The only thing that is questionable is the content of the message, but is this enough to cause such a reaction? Does this sound like s*xual harassment or a fight?
Yes, that could be true in the part where you say you get lonely at night…… I made a mistake with my choice of words. But how exactly did you make a mistake?
I felt my jaw clenched at the thought. Something is strange. Something is blocking me.
A strange sense of discomfort arose, like when I heard a voice whispering in my head that all gods must be killed.
Then, I thought that this situation itself might be some kind of trap, so I immediately took out a piece of metal from my bank account and was alert to my surroundings.
At the same time, the tree branch that the tree was holding in its hand became limp like wet laundry. I fell backwards with a sound.
…… No, I’m just a little tired. I took a sip of the tea that Gyeongcheon brought and relaxed my body.
But is the message I sent really worthy of that kind of response? Really? Do kids these days send messages like that just like asking for a fight?
As we play with the metal piece, swinging it in the air with questions and curiosity in mind, the tree begins to tremble even more and other people next to us open their mouths.
“Oh! Isn’t that a masterpiece created by Gyeongcheon?! Did you say his name was Soetdong? “It’s a backwards name that doesn’t fit the class!”
“Right? But what can I do! It’s a name chosen by the owner of the casting! “I only pity the descendants who will be recognized for it in the future!”
A slightly unpleasant local broadcast rang out next to me, but I remained silent.
That’s because the fact that the tree is here means that one of its companions will come here.
As if to prove that my thoughts were right, not long after, I felt the sound of footsteps and a familiar sight. A blonde girl hurriedly entered the room. The main character, A, appeared.
“Wed, Wednesday! What if I go first…… Ah! Meet Hwadeokjin! Thank you for allowing me entry…… But, uh…… Lee Joon, exorcist?”
The main character quickly blinks as if he does not understand the current situation. When I saw the main character, I smiled and answered.
“This is the divine spirit, Hwadeokjingun, whom I will introduce to you. And our little blue dragon, Wooshin. This time, I entered the academy. This is probably the first time you and Blue Dragon have officially met, so an introduction is necessary, right?
There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s talk about it slowly. Oh, like I said in the message, I’ll pay you the money later.”
A formal introduction to the Blue Dragon and an opportunity to resolve the concerns of the Hwadeokjin Army all at once. I didn’t want to miss this so I called her.
No, to be exact, I was planning on visiting and I didn’t plan on meeting today, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?
“Uh, ah…… That’s what it meant.”
As I was thinking that, the main character still had a blank expression on his face. Soo-mok’s best friend is such a mess that she cries and asks if she isn’t her.
Meanwhile, the blue dragon drools on my cheek as if there was a gap, and Hwadeokjin whet his appetite while looking at the piece of iron.
It was a familiar mess.
