157 – 25: I met a new spirit. In fact, it’s not completely new.
Tosses the fire pit to the main character.
I didn’t intend to do this from the beginning, and I was afraid of the blue dragon’s reaction, so I made the choice carelessly.
I saw the scene before my eyes and silently praised myself for making this choice.
“Really? Do humans play on such machines? “Is it something like enjoying the acceleration of gravity?”
“Yes! It’s fun to ride once! Oh, instead of just talking like this, let’s go together when we have time!”
“Me too?”
“Yes!
“Oh, oh! Okay! “That would be great!”
The main character becomes close friends in an instant and later makes plans to go out to play with Hwadeokjin. I was amazed to see them making grandiose plans to ride a roller coaster at an amusement park.
If you think about it, it wouldn’t be difficult to do the same thing to the main character, who has already made an extreme loner called Shinryeong his friend.
Is it helpful in the early stages of depression to have someone around you who is bright and smiles?
As I am not a doctor and do not have proper knowledge, I cannot make a hasty judgment, but I stopped thinking when I saw Hwadeokjin getting excited like a child when he heard that he was going to play with the main character.
It’s nice to see people smile. It’s not a person, but a spirit, but whatever.
I rolled my eyes and looked to the side.
Woo-shin is sleeping with his head resting on his wooden horse, probably because he is tired after a long time, and Gyeong-cheon looks at the main character and says, “That is not a human being,” With a face that has given up thinking.
No, more accurately, the gaze seems to be looking at the main character as if he were looking at a pig tied up in a pig farm.
That face is also buried because the tree looks like the face of a person whose brain has been destroyed while watching Hwadeokjin and Ei smile.
“Uh, why…” …. Are you friendly with that person you met today? … ! Am I not your best friend? ….”
“Hey, hey. Tree. Tree. “Sumac Sifal.”
Even if the world were to end, it wouldn’t have been possible to make that kind of face, but the tree was making a face that even I had never seen before, looking at the two people talking and smiling brightly.
In the aftermath, poison ivy and unknown thorns creep up from the floor and bother me.
My body seemed fine to the touch, but since I am quite allergic to poison ivy, I was able to clearly recognize the poison ivy.
In an interior full of bright decorations, I saw branches with thorns starting to sprout from under the trees, including lacquer trees, and I called out to the person I was talking to.
Then the main character made an “Oops” Face and said that he needed to see Hwadeokjin for a while, and then approached Sumok and said with a soft smile.
“Soo-mok, are you angry? Sorry. But I want you to know that you will always be my best friend. I’m trying to help Hwadeokjin because I think he needs help right now.
But it was my fault for leaving you alone. Let’s all go out and play together. “You and I are helping Mr. Hwadeokjin.”
“…… Well, if that’s the case, it can’t be helped! This is a favor from my friend! Huh!”
The tree blushes and nods its head as if fascinated by the protagonist’s words. Bright flowers bloom in an instant from the tips of thorn trees rising through the ground.
This guy didn’t just make a spirit his friend, he boiled it down with words.
And then you’ll get stabbed – the words filled my chin and I was worried if I could leave my little boy in my care, but since he’s the main character, he’ll take care of it, the thought reached me.
When I’m not around, there’s no one else who can treat my little boy like a human being other than him.
Now that I have seen Gyeongcheon’s reaction with my own eyes, I know that most people will see him as something other than a person. In my opinion, the only way to prevent Wooshin and Cheongryong from being lonely is to be the main character.
Even if that guy gives me a glimpse of his sister whose stomach turned into a cactus, the main character is the only one in this world who sees him as a person among people who worship him as a god and do not see him as a person.
…… Should I just think of a way to take my little boy? Is that all there is?
I was still wrapping my head around whether there really was any way. The eyes of the girl and the spirit, who were squealing and talking amongst themselves, suddenly focused on me.
No, to be precise, the main character is looking at me with the most passionate gaze.
“Exorcist Lee Jun! Do you have time? We’re going to go to the academy together and have fun. “How about going together?”
It would be nice to know about newly introduced friends! I immediately understood what A was thinking.
Meeting Hwadeokjin is surprising, but Ei is also concerned about meeting Blue Dragon, whom he has never properly met before.
When I said that she would go to the academy, Ei probably thought about asking Nokra, the teacher at the academy, and her grandmother, rather than deciding on her own.
It’s not a bad thing, my child likes friends! It was a good choice to ask an adult and check instead of just holding hands.
In my life, I have had people who took care of me, but there was no one I could ask such things about, so it warms my heart when I see a child who can do something like that. Just for about 1 second.
“Okay then.”
Going to the academy was a good thing for me.
This is a place that our little boy goes to, and it’s a place that needs to be looked around, and after thinking about it for a while, the main character actually has something to see as well.
Will it be okay with that guy above? In fact, it was almost a joke, but it is true that other than the main character, there is no one who can be close to Wooshin and Cheongryong.
If it were the original world, I think people would be able to make a living by earning their own money, regardless of whether they couldn’t study or didn’t have a job, and all they had to do was have the will to do so.
Isn’t it true in human life that anything can happen with just a little will and a little luck?
In that sense, A is a very good option for entrusting a child who is like her younger brother to the person who is entrusted with it.
After meeting her in person, Ei was able to accept her personality, her abilities, and her uniqueness as a divine spirit.
Her first meeting was a little different, but our relationship isn’t that bad now, so I have no reason to hesitate as she’s the best choice – but there’s just one thing. This world is the problem.
This world is a world where evil spirits come out and people die when things get boring.
As long as she is currently established as an A-level exorcist, she might be okay – you might think.
This is a world where even an A-level exorcist makes a mistake and ends up in trouble. I can’t feel safe.
It’s already a dangerous world, but as many as three ghost-level evil spirits, whose last appearance was more than 100 years ago, appear.
I was a little anxious that something might appear even after I somehow returned.
Original story and dark side? It doesn’t matter because now that it’s clear that the skull-headed bastard, the corpse snake, and the dark side are working together to do something, I’m going to end it all.
If only I hadn’t messed around with the blue dragon…… No. If I hadn’t met Cheongryong and Wooshin, I would have said, “I don’t know,” But now that’s impossible, so I’m being serious.
In the original story of this game, I decided to stop the bastards who kill people, and since I have the ability to do so, I will do my best for now.
What happens to the main character after that?
Let’s see. In my opinion, the main character is clearly weaker than the main character in the original game story told by his younger brother.
Of course, I am not saying that this is the main character’s fault. It’s because the trials and experiences I was supposed to go through were avoided because of me, so if I have to blame, shouldn’t I be blamed?
What I want to say is that we don’t want our little friend to get in trouble later because he is weak.
I think I need to look at it personally.
What and what are you going to do? Simple. You just have to fight directly.
I can tell because I trained my weak younger brother so that he wouldn’t get beaten up in the neighborhood.
Those who use fists and hold swords always say that training is of course important, but that there is nothing more helpful in improving skills in a short period of time than actual combat.
And those people also really enjoyed sparring with me.
What did you say – A local mixed martial arts instructor said that it was the best way to learn what evil, poison, and gangster are? My younger brother said that the guy who fights with me is a pitiful guy.
The strength of this body and what she has learned in her life so far will help her become stronger.
I’m still thinking about this. Thinking about it later, it might be a good idea to check if you can give him a piece of iron, which is a grade A casting.
Well, you can do all these things by going to the academy, and I got to go today. Wouldn’t it be good to be quick and save time like a Korean?
Now all that’s left is how to bring up the idea of sparring-
“Hey!”
As I continued to worry, the protagonist suddenly made a strange sound.
He then looked around hastily, looking like a local mutt who sensed that the dog was approaching.
I think the message was received in a hurry because it seemed strange to A, but seeing how he reacted so strangely, I think he was busy working.
I felt a little guilty seeing the main character like that, but then I yawned. Yes. Actually, I didn’t feel guilty.
****
A was a bit surprised to see that a message reminiscent of something harsh came from exorcist Lee Joon and not from anyone else.
The morning after Christmas, as soon as I finished my mission, a person who seemed to have nothing to do with s*xual harassment or anything like that sent me a message that seemed to suggest a relationship.
No matter how much A’s tendons are thicker than those of ordinary people, isn’t it bound to be surprising?
No, in fact, rather than A himself, Su-mok, who had just learned the concept of original fellowship, saw the message and rolled his eyes as if he had witnessed the destruction of humanity, so A himself was not that surprised.
Su-mok, who had been very afraid of Lee Joon since he almost got ‘murdered’ while fighting against him, gathered courage and said that he could not tolerate this.
Should A be glad that his current friend gave him the courage to overcome the fundamental fear of death?
Or, he didn’t know whether to be angry at his friend, who saw a message he didn’t know exactly under what circumstances and ran out with full accelerator.
But one thing is certain: what Lee Jun sent means something different, and if it is an SOS rescue signal, things may go wrong because of the appearance of the tree.
This is the place to meet, especially if the place I sent you to is the shrine of Jongmyo Shrine, where the spirits reside.
With that thought in mind, A chased after the tree – fortunately, many misunderstandings were resolved and he was able to talk directly with Hwadeokjin.
Hwadeokjin, who was faced like that, likes things just like the trees and trees, and feels lonely. It was a being capable of human interaction.
Of course, A knows. What we need to think about is that spirits are different from humans and are not human beings.
He said that humans can be friends even if they are not humans, ignoring the other person’s thoughts and past.
He fell into the delusion that he was something special and remembered his past, where he pretended that he could be friends with anyone. For a moment, A felt like his face would turn red.
She soon shook her head and looked ahead again. Jin-gun Hwadeok was not the only person she had met, and it was time to talk to her new friend.
“Nice to meet you, should I say yes? Nice to meet you “Cheongryong.”
“Please leave me out. You have been watching me with Wooshin. “I think I have a connection with you too.”
“Really? Then I’m good too! Nice to meet you, Blue Dragon!”
“Nice to meet you too. No way.”
Ei thought as she looked at the blue dragon smiling warmly and drooping the corners of her eyes.
Unlike the spirit Wooshin, he is a being that reacts more rationally and like an adult. In fact, the existence of another being within ‘Wooshin’ was something I had vaguely expected.
A different tone of voice and intelligent eyes than usual when we meet sometimes. In addition, Wooshin, who deals with heat and heat, even deals with rain and thunder as if it were natural.
Ei expected that Wooshin might have some more secrets, even if it was another unrelated exorcist.
I just didn’t know that the secret was that it was a being using the name of ‘Blue Dragon’, a good god who loved humanity, and there was no one in this country who didn’t know about it.
Is it really that blue dragon? If it’s the blue dragon, has it come back to life?
A lot of questions arose about the reality that an exorcist, or rather, a person with common sense, could not understand, but Ei decided to put those things aside for a while.
Hearing the reaction of Hwadeok Jin-gun and the announcement of Blue Dragon’s admission to the academy, he went to the academy to check just in case.
As he got out of the heavily tinted limousine and headed towards the place where Academy Dean Maehwa was, Ei blinked slowly while looking into the blue dragon’s eyes.
Cheongryong’s eyes were overflowing with love that even an outsider could see as she chased after Lee Jun, who had fallen back slightly, asking her to have a conversation while they were walking down the street.
The sight of him only thinking about, looking at, and feeling heartbroken at the other person did not match his appearance of still being a child, but it was a feeling too clear to be dismissed as just a momentary thought.
That’s right. A was also a student in his prime, and someone’s love story was of greater interest to him than anything else.
“Uh, exorcist Lee Jun, does he know the feelings of the blue dragon?”
“Ugh, ah, that’s how it stands out…… ?”
“You keep looking at the exorcist.”
“Heh, ehehehehe… ….”
The blue dragon did not refute her words and had a light, relaxed expression on his face.
Ei smiled softly as she mulled over the information that her spirit could make a face like this and that the old-fashioned way of speaking that seemed like something out of a historical drama was something she was planning after all.
Gyeongcheon, the A-class casting maker and favorite believer of Hwadeokjingun, felt that people were looking at them as if they were grotesque monsters.
He wasn’t bad. In this world, it would be normal to have a hundred different reactions.
In that sense, what kind of being is he? Ei gently followed the blue dragon and rolled his eyes at him.
As he was chatting with a tree and a fire pit next to him, he had an expression on his face that asked if the being next to him was a spirit.
Will he, who not only shares friendship like himself, but even embraces love, understand the feelings of Blue Dragon? If you knew, what would your reaction be? A was curious inwardly.
But since he couldn’t ask this, Ei could only roll his eyes, but the blue dragon, nicknamed the Wise Guardian, seemed to have read Ai’s thoughts and opened his mouth with a bitter smile.
“I have already confessed my feelings to the captain. In fact, it wasn’t long before I realized what my feelings were.
If the captain…… “If you hadn’t told me to prepare to break up with you, I wouldn’t have realized it for a long time.”
“…… Yes?”
Ei felt slightly dumbfounded by what the blue dragon said. The words “Preparing to break up” Made A think about many things.
But it may not mean what she thinks. She asked back quietly, even though she was embarrassed.
“You’re breaking up…” … What does it mean?”
“The captain said he was leaving somewhere. It has to be that way. However, so that our meeting will not be remembered as a curse, so that we can live among people even after the leader is gone.
The captain said that we should do many things together. What should I do? “How can you deny that when someone whose heart has been taken away says so?”
Hearing the words of Blue Dragon muttering with a sad expression on her face, A looked at Lee Jun with a serious expression.
The man named Lee Joon is a man who should not disappear from this country in many ways.
She thinks about her relationship with Blue Dragon, but what would happen if he suddenly disappeared?
If he disappears from this country, there will be fewer people to deal with the level A or higher evil spirits that are still lurking in this country.
There are 10 A-level exorcists. Very few of them can fight properly. Most of them, like Gyeongcheon, are shamans or Buddhist priests.
The disappearance of a proper combat agent is an incredibly big problem, and it is a huge loss to the country to have his A-level casting disappear as well.
If the newly born, strongest exorcist in the present era, who can defeat even ghost-level evil spirits, disappears, that alone will increase the anxiety of citizens.
When I try to imagine a future in which he suddenly disappears one day, I get goosebumps running down my spine.
“…… “What are you doing?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“I don’t know.”
“Yes?”
“For some reason exactly, the captain did not tell me where he was going. As if it was inevitable. “I don’t even know if he was bound by a contract, the captain’s stubbornness, or something else.”
It was a very absurd statement, but at the same time, it was extremely unsettling.
Why on earth would an exorcist of the same level as Lee Joon say that he would even leave his two beloved spirits alone? You can’t even tell me why?
A’s expression was quite stiff as he felt that something had gone very wrong. Blue Dragon stopped talking there and continued speaking with a slightly mischievous smile.
“But the captain told me to try to get him to give up on leaving if I can. I also don’t want the captain to leave. He hates it so much that it would be better to throw himself into the sea together.
So, I try to do everything I can. I don’t know what’s going on, but I can’t change the captain’s mind on my own.
So – I try to tell the situation without hesitation and ask for help, even with a child who has just become a friend.”
Blue Dragon looked at A with a slightly sorry expression. No, he was truly sorry, but his eyes were so desperate that there was nothing he could do.
“…… It’s okay to criticize someone for taking advantage of your kindness and good intentions. But please do this. Hey. Help me Me, I…… The captain is so precious.
If there is anything you want, I will also help you. So please…… “Please help me.”
Ei hurriedly stopped Cheongryong, who was about to take Ei’s hand and bow down to ask for her.
The blue dragon’s sudden action caught everyone’s attention for a moment, but Ei naturally spoke to her new friend.
“A. We’re friends now, so what! Why is it difficult to help! I will help you too! Instead, buy me something to eat later.”
There-
A swallowed her words alone. She is a close acquaintance of her man named Lee Joon, but she has helped him and fought with him many times, so she thinks she is quite close.
If he suddenly disappeared for some reason – A was also curious about the reason.
So, after some time, A explained her situation to her dean.
After hearing the dean laugh and tell him to do as he pleases since it doesn’t matter, she confidently led Lee Jun to the sparring room and said that she would like to see the academy before entering Cheongryong.
“Exorcist Lee Jun! I’m sorry for listening to your situation arbitrarily! But Cheongryong asked for help! It may be sudden, but spar with me! How do you feel? “If I win, you’ll tell Exorcist Lee Joon everything about what’s going on!”
I know he is strong. I also know that with my current skills, it would be difficult to even reach the hem of his clothes.
However, Lee Jun has a very lascivious personality and hates wielding a sword and using his body when there is no benefit to it.
If Ei says something like this, she will naturally reject it because it is annoying, and if she refuses, she will ask you to tell the situation with Blue Dragon, and she plans to be a little annoying.
Cheongryong seemed to have no idea how to persuade him, so Ei decided to find out the situation first and then think together about the next method.
And this is the first step in finding out what is going on.
To be honest, I felt sorry for Lee Joon and it was scary, but for the sake of his friend’s love, A showed great courage.
A waited in the sparring room, expecting him to turn around and say he was annoyed. What?
He looked at himself blankly, then lifted the wooden sword that was prepared in the sparring room as if everything went well.
“Yeah- that’s good. As expected, our kid is the best. Create opportunities like this. Good. “I’ll take that bet.”
“Yes…… Yes?”
I didn’t know it would be like this.
A trembled as he saw Lee Jun smiling like a ferocious animal – no, he looked like an animal with his fangs exposed due to the scar on the corner of his mouth.
Before she could even realize what her mistake was, her body was hit not by her wooden sword but by her fist, sending her flying through the sky against gravity.
A miraculous flight achieved without the use of spiritual power, fetishes, or skills.
At the end of that flight, Ai fell to the floor in her arms, caught in the arms of gravity, and realized that even if something was wrong with her, she had been wrong for a long time.
