47 – Path to Mist Lake (1)
It had been raining all night, so the inside of the tent had to be filled with moisture. I was already prepared for a wet morning the day before.
‘…Um?’
But rather, the cool and pleasant cold air is filling the tent, as if the air conditioner was turned on weakly. Maybe it’s her magic. I liked this coolness so much that I closed my eyes for a long time after waking up.
There was one more thing that made me feel good. It is her light hair and soft cheeks that still cut my arm.
-Through
Open your closed eyes. The red eyes of the demon king that I had been looking at until I fell asleep are still staring at me. Her pupils, which had been slightly wider than half a moon, widened as much as the full moon, blinking and blinking.
“Hey, wake up! At las.”
“…Are you trying to use the berserk dragon’s cry again?”
“What? Do you see me as that person?”
…
‘You always try to do that. And he’s not even a human.’
“Wake up. There is a saying that one more rice cake is given to the early bird.”
It is her proverbial world that is still difficult to understand.
Lying on her arm pillow, she jumped up and started all over like a runner ready to jump out at any moment. You must have slept later than me… It’s so good to have good stamina. When she becomes a training camp instructor, her recruits will die.
“…You know.”
“Huh?”
“Can I lie here a little longer?”
I wanted to lie a little longer in the cool breeze in the tent.
“Umm… Yes. Instead I…”
She raised her white index finger and pointed at her arm. It didn’t take long to understand what it meant.
“Do it.”
“Yes.”
-Pulseok
The demon king also lay down again, using my arm as a pillow, just like before.
She must have been cutting all night, but her arms didn’t tingle at all. Is it because her hair is naturally light? There is also a long horn on the left, how is it so light? Maybe the horn material is styrofoam. If you ask me, I think I’ll get angry.

She asked me to set off for the Mist Lake right away, and the place she took me by the hand and led me was in front of a plant that had five leaves… No, now four.
“Why did you come here?”
“Haa… That’s why it’s so tender…”
Are you a little girl?
Makes her strange neologisms and also mates her own forehead with her palm! The face of the demon king who was slapping and sighing was gagged.
Then she rummaged around, tying her bag on her back in front of her.
“Damn it.”
“…”
Camera.
“I should leave a copy in the Ghost Highlands too!”
“…”
Then he holds my hand, puts the camera lens in front of his face, and clicks the shutter.
There is no such thing as a pretty angle or a gripping technique that pulls the face back. No matter how much someone tried with such crude techniques, they would not be able to keep up with her beauty.
…
“Did you film it? Let’s go now.”
“Oh, wait. I have to retake it. I just closed my eyes…”
…
“Now look here and smile!”
-Click

I arrived in front of the box that goes up and down with the demon king. She turned around and looked around her once more. And she has a satisfied smile.
“It was so much fun!”
“Me too.”
Although the Mist Lake ended in one night, it was genuinely enjoyable. It feels like a loaded cart loaded with cabbage. And the trip is now halfway there.
-Ugh
When magic was injected into the power unit, the box rose upward this time. On the 66th floor, go to the Fog Lake. She hoped that the veteran elevator girl wouldn’t make a mistake.
-Soowook
-Kikkik
By the way.
“Ah!”
“…! What, what? What’s the matter? What’s wrong?”
Elevator or climbing box, I was afraid to stop suddenly.
“It’s a big deal! The magic power sphere has started to run wild! At this rate, you’ll fall all the way to the first floor!”
“What!? What are you talking about!”
“It’s done! Your ass is going to be a mess!”
Suddenly, I was sentenced to death.
…
-Giik
The door of the box was opened.
A forest with twisting vines and giant trees. Unlike the humid foggy plateau, a cool mountain breeze blows. This place is definitely in the forest next to the Mist Lake.
Did I arrive properly?
“…?”
“hehehe. Surprise! I was surprised!”
She made a funny face, waving her palms beside her face.
“As I said in , They say it’s much better to joke around while traveling. The example I heard there was ‘A black bear is chasing me!’, But I made this box gag myself.”
…
Yesterday’s vocal mimicry was the same, and her jokes were truly disastrous. Where are you going and don’t joke If Nine were by his side, he would have been beaten from ear to ear. Of course, that b*tch’s palm would be smashed.
“Where… Umm… Here…”
She heard something unfolding in her. This time it really seems to be a map. She looked sideways.
‘…’
Crab’s feet, autumn leaves, star-shaped pictures. It was also a map of the development tribal that could not be deciphered at all.
She said, pointing the tip of her finger to a section of her map.
“This is where we are right now… This is Mist Lake!”
‘…I don’t recognize it at all.’
“Okay then, let’s hurry up and leave!”
She rolled her map back up and put it in her bag.
“… Over there.”
“Huh?”
“Wouldn’t it be quicker to use a movement aid magic like Haste? You should be able to use the wings of Zephyrus.”
Even when she was hanging out with her former party members, Dorothy often wore a haste and walked lightly. Of course, they didn’t just walk on me, so I had to run when they walked. Seepalums.
“Kyaaa!”
At her suggestion, she covered her ears with her palms and winced. It is the face that I have seen even if it is an apartment maintenance bill that has been overdue for three months.
“Wook, Camryn! Raw carrots! Kurdan of Destruction! I’m disappointed.”
Looking at him doing it over and over again, it seems that the hard camper’s soul has been scratched. Ha, sh*t, you’re f*cking king.
… It’s goosebumps that Kurdan, who broke the pottery before that, still has an aftertaste.
…But did he wake up? f*ck I don’t know, I hope I solved it well.
“I mean you. You can’t live by relying on magic like that all the time. Okay? After all, human beings have to live according to the providence of nature.”
Wearing a paper crane with dozens of apocalyptic buffs applied this morning alone, she instructed an ordinary porter who couldn’t even use a fireball. hahahaha, that’s crazy
“I’m sorry. I am an opportunist who has lived my life believing in magic.”
“Be careful next time.”

The distance between the box and the Fog Lake was quite long, but I felt refreshed and not tired at all. The air here cleared his lungs, clearing his muddy breath.
‘That’s good.’
Even the steps become lighter. I slept well until yesterday, so I was in the best condition today.
“hehehe.”
The demon king who took my hand and led me. It’s almost confusing whether he’s holding her hand or taking the puppy for a walk as he wanders around looking around.
“…So good?”
“Huh!? What? Ah, it’s a paper crane-shaped stone.”
The person holding her hand Impossibly infatuated, she picked up an odd-looking stone that had fallen on her floor and put it in her bag. It was the 25th after the Mosasaurus stone I picked up earlier. Actually… The more I look at it, the more unique and attractive the character is.
‘…’
A good idea came to my mind. When she goes back to Earth, let’s write her novel with her as her main character. It will surely be the latest work following .
We came back a bit because of her, but we eventually arrived at the Mist Lake.
“Wow!”
“Oh.”
I made my way through the grass and finally arrived at the Mist Lake.
Except for the fact that the stars are hard to see due to the hazy fog, the calm atmosphere is art. In the clear water that was calm but not dirty, there were tall grasses growing around the lake. Even if a freshman lives, I will believe it. It was also a place I rarely liked when climbing the tower.
“hehehe.”
The demon king who was walking ahead approaches me with a gun. Looking at the red cheeks, it seems that another cute prank came to mind. She puts her hands around her waist.
“… Why is that? Also.”
How long have you been patient? Is this the place you’ve been dreaming of? Holding her tightly around my waist, she placed her chin on my chest and said,
“Take off your shoes. Even socks.”
“… Huh?”
“I’m going to play a game… hehehe.”
I took off my shoes and socks at her words. What can’t you hear? Such a happy face…
-Wheeik!
?
Huh?
I came to my senses and am flying through the air.
The demon king threw me into the water with a giant swing.
-Dive!
*
“Puha!”
Fortunately, the place she threw it was near the water, so it came out right away. He almost died without being able to fulfill his precious dream of slicing the back of Dorothy’s head with a bottle of soju someday.
…
“… Camping expert. Please explain.”
A rough estimate is possible, but footnotes are necessary.
“In the lake, starting with this is a national rule.”
… As expected.
I made up my mind. Next time, when fire attribute intruders like Nephilim attack again, let’s induce them to burn the demon king’s travel books.
“…”
“…”
As if she had noticed the bloody intent in my eyes, she hurriedly turned her back on the shore.
“So, then I will prepare for the barbecue party…”
“Uh, it’s a dinosaur-shaped stone.”
“Where? Where?”
– Hwaaak!
I grabbed the demon king by the waist and threw myself into the water. When I gave her a back massage before her, it was safe to hold her back as she didn’t get the buff. Wrestling was on her bucket list, and with it, her wish was fulfilled. Congratulations!
-Dive!
It was truly mankind’s first counterattack. Are you watching Are you Nine, Dorothy, Pakdaegari, and Yuria? You and I, who were slapped and treated like dogs, are now in different classes.
…
…
“Puha!”
“Poohyot.”
The demon king who came out of the water became like a soaked mouse like me.
Couldn’t… Be mean with something like this…
Taaang!
… I think I’m too lazy to play around and imagine things like this.
“Pu-huh… Uh-huh! Ahahahaha!”
The demon king opened his big mouth wide and smiled neatly. Even if he is wet, even if he is slightly covered by a hazy mist, his smile is clearly bright.
She was white and with her little hands she splashed her puddles at me. She thought a tidal wave was coming.
