08 : Today, I live on the street in this game.
A child who was washed away in a river suddenly came to life thanks to the roots of a living tree. The child who came ashore grabbed me by the crotch of my trousers and cried out.
In a perfect situation to hear people ask if I’m crazy if I don’t explain the front and back, it was clear that the child who clung to my crotch was a child caught up in a troublesome incident.
He seemed to need help or something, but is there any reason why I should help him?
Even if people around me notice and yell at me, they say they don’t like me.
I took into account that the people who notice are distraught in many ways and have lost their families, so instead of raising the middle finger, I fed them potatoes, which is our traditional gesture.
As it were, I was going to hand the child over to the police and go back to the abandoned house I’ve been using as a lodging for a while, but I was going to sleep in peace.
I think it is called life because a person’s life is originally an irrational overlap of misfortunes.
I can’t even go back to my dorm where Wooshin is spreading and I’m sitting in the emergency room at the hospital looking at the ceiling.
What is the child blessed by that bastard?
A child with almost no spiritual power and seemingly no skiIIs was pulled up to the root of a tree and he did something.
This child who fell into the water was actually a child blessed by a tree that I had seen on YouTube before.
Because of the blessing of the tree, I was able to save my life even in such a critical situation. I even met good parents, so it was a good thing- but.
If a “Civilian” Blessed by a spirit is in danger, the person with the license as an exorcist has a duty to protect the blessed “Civilian” Until their safety is confirmed, the police said.
How would I have felt when I dutifully fed the potatoes one by one, and then heard those words as soon as I greeted the police?
Was it ridiculous and the people who were whining at me saying that I still had to help them were aiming for this and clinging to it? I even heard the thought.
If I knew this was going to happen, I would have just raised my middle finger and left my seat instead of feeding them fist potatoes.
I tried to avoid swallowing the air in the hospital that smelled of disinfectant, which I regretted and felt unpleasant.
I also heard what the cops said at first, so these people now look at me as a pet and try to cheat me with lies? I wanted to, so I purposely blew out my spiritual power and threatened him.
A policeman who looked like a rookie at first glance shuddered and said he wasn’t lying.
When I actually checked it out, there were small words written on the corner of the plastic card I received earlier: the duties of an exorcist.
Why is this a duty?
His face was contorted as if he had chewed something bitter, but it was easy to infer from how the spirits and those blessed by them were treated in this world.
Since they are civilians who have been blessed by the divine spirit, isn’t it that we should protect them well and let them know the greatness of the divine spirit?
The important thing is that this sucks, but it’s a rule. Normally, I would have gone the wrong way, saying f*ck the rules and taking away my license or not.
With the police in front of me right now, I couldn’t make an opening for those who were targeting me by doing something against the law.
So I brought this child to the hospital.
Please? Why are you accepting the request? It was written on the license to ‘protect’, but not a single word was written to listen to everything he said.
“…… It’s a duty… Then shouldn’t you help me…… ?”
“It says to protect you. Nowhere is it written that I have to do your favor.”
I changed my clothes and mumbled a child wearing a thick blanket to protect my body temperature.
Although he makes a lot of noise about being mean, he just mumbles like a child who doesn’t know that ‘ah’ is different and ‘uh’ is different.
He showed signs of concern as if he was about to use his final card.
When she cries, she throws it back into the river and throws it in again even if the root pulls it up.
Anyway, it was a joke, but I felt embarrassed because I was so scared. Common sense wouldn’t you do something like that to a child, right?
…… Even if I do, I usually don’t. …… Should I not?
The reason I was so scared was nothing else, I was afraid of the scars on my face, so I decided to put it off as being scared.
“Since I contacted your family, your parents and the exorcist who protects you will also come.”
“…… I can’t believe that person. Didn’t do anything…….”
“How many people can you trust in this world? Congratulations. You have grown up.”
“Mister, don’t you hear that you get pissed off when you talk?”
“Honey. The reason why there is a lot of anger in you is because of hormones. Are you okay. It is natural for a kid of his age to grumble and argue.”
When I replied, the child lowered his head while gnashing his teeth.
If he lived in an orphanage, he would have a stronger taste, but he’s just naturally fragile.
I smiled a lot. A silence incongruous with the raucous noise of the emergency room settled between us as we waited in the corner of the emergency room for basic test results to come out.
The kid kept looking at me, she told me everything, and she seemed to want to ask me for help, but I ignored it.
If the guardian of this child who will appear soon and the exorcist who is currently in charge of protecting this child come, toss it and leave, why listen when there is nothing to do?
…… Can’t you think of it that simply?

I calmly meditated on the situation as I drank water from my bank account.
Speaking of a child blessed by a tree, of course our main character, Naeuri, would also be involved.
That means that the incident this kid is experiencing right now is highly likely to be the original game story.
But I don’t know if this messy-haired boy is from the game or not.
Either I misunderstood her appearance, or this little girl is a character that deviated from my brother’s taste. Either one.
If this child is a character in the story in the game, then the evil spirit she claims to be targeting this child must be an A-class evil spirit.
Anyone who belongs to a group of evil spirits that are holding hands with Gwi-tae, or Gwi-tae is holding hands. Or is it the trick of another unknown existence that appears on the Gwitae route?
Considering my purpose, it would be better to listen to her troubles and deal with her high-level demons.
Even if the reason says so, no matter what the person is, it won’t be easily solved if it hurts.
This girl just asked for help, but the people around her were so displeased…….
Okay, let’s skip this one. I stopped worrying about her and smiled. In addition, I pretended not to see the child who was watching me beside her flinch.
It’s been about five minutes since I arrived at the hospital. Finally, the little boy’s guardian appeared.
“Ji, Jia! Are you okay- Ah, Lee, Exorcist Lee Joon?”
It was our main character who appeared, not anyone else. He forgot his name, let’s keep it as my little secret.
“… ….”
As soon as the child lying on the bed looked at the main character with a very angry face, she looked like she had met her enemy.
I got up from my seat and got away from the main character, showing a very stereotypical reaction.
I grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, lifted her up, and laid her back on her bed. She took it for granted that if he ran away, it would be my fault.
But the little boy, who was caught by me and laid back on his bed, kept struggling to get out, as if he wasn’t getting tired of it. I sighed and tied the blanket to the bed to secure it.
“Keugh! Let go! Don’t interrupt! If you don’t help! I can’t believe that woman either! I hate you too! The orphanage sisters…… Friends too! They’re all dead! While you said you would protect me! Liar!”
“Come. If you are going to be angry, go to your parents.”
“- The aunt and the uncle…… If I’m by your side, die!”
“No! Because I, I will protect you…….”
“With that being said…… They’re all dead! Everyone died horribly!! I saw it!!”
A kid shouting at the main character with a lot of anger, and he couldn’t say a word at the kid’s cry and looked like a corpse.
And in the middle. I, the main character and the kid, suppressed the kid who was going to run amok.
No, I said to two little boys with no blood on their heads.
“If you keep doing that sh*t with me in the middle, I’ll have another emergency patient stabbed in the stomach.”
“… ….”
“… ….”
It was only then that the kids kept their mouths shut. I’m afraid of such a threat.
The situation was sketched roughly through the conversation between the two. The main character said he would help that kid, but something went wrong and the orphanage friends were affected by evil spirits.
And that kid heard the news and resents the main character and seems to be f*cking with me. It must have been the cause of being washed away in the Han River.
I understand. I would be very sad and angry. It doesn’t matter if kids get angry with each other, but why are you doing that in my presence?
Normally, I would have passed on things that kids do like that, saying that they are having a hard time buying each other.
I feel bad because I’m suffering from people who say that it’s only natural that I help this kid on the bridge.
I think I heard my younger brother’s voice suddenly spouting nonsense like ‘If you’re an adult, take care of your kids more, hyung!’
In the first place, the little brother is a naive kid who kept his mouth shut all day because he stole and ate a fried egg. She has a bigger heart than I do that bastard.
I sighed as I sat down on the iron chair next to the bed.
****
It must have been about 30 minutes since the kids shut up. Finally, the parents who adopted this blessed child appeared.
As if the blessing of the spirits wasn’t as casual as I thought, the parents of the little boy showed a surprised look as soon as they saw the child lying on the hospital bed.
Every action, every gaze. Showed love and concern for the child.
Just by looking at the two parents for a moment, it was clear that the adoption was not aimed at the special title of a blessed child. At least that’s how it seemed to me.
It is fortunate to meet such parents. I explained to his parents how I met him. After handing over, I tried to return as it was.
“Hey, over there! Exorcist Lee Joon. Please. Wait a minute, can we talk?”
As expected. The main character stopped me. Every time you see him, what do you want to say? Those words came to the tip of my tongue, but I endured it when I saw the main character with a face that seemed to stop breathing right away.
Of course, I was in a bad mood today, so I didn’t intend to listen to the conversation, so I just went.
“If you listen to me, I will give you a small reward. I have about 1 million won in cash that I can borrow right away, but-“
One million won just by talking. I tried to accept the main character’s request, thinking it was an advantage.
When I met the main character like this, I waited for a while, foreboding that the Quest Chang bastard would do something else.
Talk to him and accept the quest. He’ll definitely say that and try to pull me in somehow.
I waited for the quest window with bated breath. Why? Looking around, the quest window was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking that this guy is not the type to stay still at a time like this, I turned on the window myself. So what you see.
＜ System is updating. ＞
＜ We are updating the system for smooth play of players. ＞
＜ The quest function and TIP function cannot be used between system updates. Please wait a moment. ＞
＜ Update 56.9% ＞
＜ Possessed funds: KRW 690.1 Million 1,100 ＞
＜ Possessed Items: SkiII Option Ticket worth less than 500 million won ＞
“?”
Quest window update?
I’ve never seen this guy fight with me in the end, his blood pressure rises and he searches, and I wonder if a new predecessor is coming, but I’m sure the quest window won’t suck anyway.
I decided to accept the shaking in front of my eyes.
“With advance payment.”
“Oh, yes. That account…….”
“Ah.”
Oops, I forgot to open an account because I had a bankbook that was like a magic pocket.
Since all requests were received in cash, I didn’t feel the need at all.
I have a wallet that I can use anytime, anywhere and won’t be stolen by anyone, and I usually buy what I need at the store…….
My mistake is also a mistake. My money. With 700 million won in front of your nose, your money catches your eye.
The money I have now is bigger than I expected, so I subtracted the money I earned from the quest and tapped the calculator.
I realized that I had over 100 million won in my hands at once by catching the red mask that had become a ghost grade.
I completely forgot about the skiII options below 500 million. With just one of these, I have a trump card that I can use later when fighting evil spirits that don’t match with me.
Even if I took out the skiII options, seeing how much money had accumulated in my bank account made me feel better.
That’s why I joked with the main character while laughing.
“I don’t have an account. It’s been just over a month since I registered as a resident! But at this age, it’s been a month since I became a living person in this world. It’s fun, right?”
“… ….”
Looking at the expression on the main character’s face, it seems that this was a failed joke.
I lowered my eyes with a breathless face. I thought that because I was young, I didn’t know jokes.
