(EP.389) Bird #4
389 – Hojungcheon Bird #4
“There was no soul in the vessel.”
Mirna spoke clearly.
“In the jar, there was nothing to be called a soul. Obviously, it would be normal if there was a demon-like soul lurking in the vessel, covered with a terrible and huge hatred… .”

Neutrophil salaming technique.
Although it is simply a pot with a curse in itself, it becomes a powerful seed of disaster. It is said that it is when someone opens the lid and looks inside that it truly shines.
Those who saw it said that their brains were twisted to death.
But Narmi looked inside the jar and looked fine. At least on the surface it was. Narmi tells about it.
“Although I have a strong resistance to curses. At first, the bowl itself was empty. That means, someone has already opened the jar. Thanks to you, the curse has been weakened.”
That said, the curse of this pot has already been used on someone-. Can I look at it like that? Mirna explained as she frowned at the incomprehensible spiritual and magical conversation.
“There is a high probability that the souls that have escaped are roaming somewhere in this citadel. The bowl is here, so it wouldn’t have been far away.”
An evil spirit transformed into a curse roams the fortress. It’s pretty spooky.
I asked.
“Can’t we just destroy this jar?”

Narmi shakes her head at him.
“Tae-oh, imagine if someone broke your room while you were out. Aren’t you angry? For souls, the body is the room. So, it’s burial, not cremation.”
is it.
He seemed to know a little about why the culture of cremation as a funeral method did not develop on this continent. It is also the reason why the Draco family buried the body, bearing the burden of managing the large cemetery.
So in the end we had to find the soul of the dead child in this jar. are you looking for a soul I feel like my eyes are dizzy at the surreal story.
How to find it?
What is your appearance?

Nothing can be known However, finding a way to stop Aira’s mind from collapsing is a boon.
“Then, let’s try to find something. Are you looking for something like an amulet or detector? It’s the first time I’ve ever found a soul.”

Narmi raises her hand at my words.
“I’m good at finding ghosts! Of course, my sister is better at this, but!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Mirna. Mirna, who had been looking at the jar for a long time, hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath.
“Detecting souls requires special wavelength measuring tools. A probe used to detect water veins. Paper that reacts sensitively to heat. Refined salt, etc… .”
Mirna recites a long-needed material. However, it was quite difficult for us, who are stationed in this fortress, to prepare all the ingredients.
“Of course, there are ways to find out without the above methods. Anyone who is highly inspired, or has a spiritual eye, a spiritual eye, can easily find it.”
“That means… .”
“King Tae-oh’s fairy eyes see things that others can’t see. I don’t think there’s a better place than Sir Tae Oh when it comes to finding ghosts.”
Myrna’s words made me happy.
How can you do things simply without having to do any preparations? It was a time when my hands were itchy at the thought of getting things done quickly.
“that… .”
As if there were words that Mirna had not yet finished. And he hesitated so much that it was hard to get those words out easily.
“Miss Mirna, do you have anything more to say?”
“perhaps… .”
“perhaps… ?”
“Maybe we have already met. that soul… .”
“Are we?”
Mirna said as if she couldn’t stand my constant questioning.
“King Tae-oh, didn’t you think it was strange? We met a strange being. Living in a fortress full of monsters that had been abandoned for a long time… .”
Mirna’s words ended with that.
I could see that her attentiveness didn’t say more than that. I could tell who Mirna was talking to.
“no way… .”
“… Yes, maybe the imp.”
I knew who the imp Mirna was talking about. Surely me and Mirna met an imp who lived in hiding in this citadel.
Mirna continues.
“It was strange that Imps had been living alone for decades in a castle full of monsters. There would have been no food, and how else had to endure the cold winter… .”
That was correct.
Did you say that you stole and ate the food leftovers from the old demon king army when they were stationed in the kitchen of the fortress? However, after a decade or so, food tends to rot and fade.
At that time, he was engrossed in Isaiah Gospel’s imp and did not feel anything strange. No, wait a minute, maybe the first thing I found was… .
I took the book out of my pocket.
A book with the word ‘Taeo’ written on it.
If you turn the back part, sentences with a chaotic structure are intertwined like a puzzle, just like Aira when she lost her mind.
There is only one reasoning that can be drawn from it.
Isaiah Gospel was the first to find him and he was cursed. With that, the child, the imp, who was trapped inside the jar, came out.
Mirna said.
“It was so vivid that I couldn’t even recognize that it was a soul. Now that I think about it, there are only a couple of things that are strange.”
“Is it strange?”
“Apart from me and Sir Tae Oh, no one has ever seen that imp.”
A creepy goose rides up my back.
* * *
We scattered across the citadel to find the imp.
Elgar and Stella, who were so energetic and less inspired, decided to search the citadel to see if there were any other pots or curses similar to this.
So, as I was walking down the hallway of the fortress alone, my steps began to feel heavy like cotton soaked in water. Not only that, but I was very depressed.
The imp who was going to introduce Marmarr found out that it was a ghost that had been dead for a long time.
And the anger at the opponent who forcibly put the imp in the jar and made him a curse also boils.
Extremely imp loathing.
If it were me, I would never put imps like Marmar, Gargar or Tartar in a jar. never. Even if I die, I won’t do that. I can’t tolerate it.
Who the hell would do such a naughty and bad thing?
As I asked myself, I gave an answer at the same time.
A curse that has been buried in this fortress since a very long time ago. It looked like a coincidence, but it was aimed precisely at Aira.
I also knew that Aira prefers a sunny mezzanine window side. Then there is only one culprit.
A demon king who targets Aira from the past.
This is what it means to seek life from the past. I only knew it with a vague feeling, but seeing the situation with my own two eyes makes me suffocate.
Has Ira been living a life like a minefield from the old days, where, when, where, or what could become a trigger? It’s not strange if the head is broken.
In that sense, she might be on the side who is very patient and restrained.
As I was looking out the window in the hallway, I felt someone approaching behind my back.
“Dating, I can’t. We decided to go see flowers together.”
“Ira. Are you all right? Did you have something like that below? I didn’t know. It’s just that Ira-sama is sick in many ways… .”
“It was just that it hurt. Because it was time to accept my feelings alone. but it’s gotten a little better Tae-oh, it’s thanks to you.”
Saying that, Ira patted my hair softly. I say it’s because of me, but honestly, I don’t know what I’ve done for Aira.
“To be honest, I don’t know what I did this time.”
I couldn’t figure out anything. That fact made me a little angry with myself.
I pretended to know this and that well and was hiding a secret, but in fact, now that I think about it, there were many things I didn’t know. Even I don’t know who I am.
Thanks, I’m a little nervous.
also anxious
Ira said while looking out the window with that feeling.
“Tae-oh, I would never have been able to leave the room without you. He wouldn’t even think of leaving. With a strong will, Tae-oh, you saved me again.”
I turned my head from the window and looked at Aira. Her clear eyes were watching me without a cloud in the cloud.
“Tae-oh, you’ve been like that for a long time. wanted to save me And it actually saved my life many times. you were the only one The one who dared to protect me, stronger than anyone else… .”
Shh.
Saying that, Ira moved her gaze and looked out the window. Perhaps because the sunset is setting, Aira’s face is quite red.
As I gazed at her waving black hair, I wondered if I had managed to get out of the room well.
I’m sure it’s out of the cursed realm.
If you’re still looking at this face, you feel like you want to throw everything away and plunge into your eyes as black as the lake at night.
Is she like me?
Or, the consciousness of nightmares. After freeing herself from the Dowonhyang in the jar, did she wash away all the lust and love that had been boiling over me with a cold heart.
Suddenly, the last three days I spent with her felt like a dream. It’s our own other world. It was like the world in a jar, maybe I was mistaken on my own—.
Actually, I am not the one who is crazy.
You start to wonder if this whole situation itself is a dream. “Everything was disturbingly blurry,” said Aira, as the floor shook as if she were seasick.
“My Tae Oh, Angmar’s Tae Oh Gospel.”
when she called my name I was able to calm myself down.
Ira said.
“Tao Gospel.”
“yes.”
“Tae-oh.”
“What’s going on?”
She kept calling my name. I didn’t do that on purpose. It was as if he had something to say but couldn’t get it out easily.
But the more she called my name, the more I felt the tangled threads inside me unraveling one by one.
Does it really matter who I am and what I am? As they call, I change form like the wind.
That’s me.
The exact form is unknown, but the wind clearly exists in the world. As soon as he was thinking like that, the wind stopped and Aira’s hair, who was looking out the window, stopped shaking.
“I will admit it frankly. In the last few days, I’ve been unwise, neither as a queen nor as a woman. I can’t turn back time though. I can promise you something that never happened.”
“Isn’t it something?”
“I want you to do what was in the room as something that never happened. Tae-oh, if you don’t talk. It won’t go into anyone’s ears. It will be as if it never happened.”
Ira had been talking as if everything she had done in a nightmare was a mistake. For her, the past few days are memories that she wants to erase.
Obviously, locked in her room, she didn’t look like Ira. Because of that, I may have known in advance that she would say something like this.
“You don’t even have to do this.”
Finally, Aira’s hand loosens the bandage around my left eye.
The feeling of having my head open at the sight of my eyes widening in an instant was a bit disappointing, but on the one hand, it was disappointing.
It seemed like he was strongly entangled with her. It feels like the skein is loosened one by one, and the two of us fall apart again.
A strong wind blew again as he opened his lips, which had become heavy with emotions, and was about to say something.
aaa
In the cool autumn wind, Ira pulled down the crown that was on her head with her hands.
sarr.
Thanks to her, her hair flew freely. Aira, who had a relaxed expression on her face, raised her skirt and started walking lightly.
“… … ?”
It took me a while before I realized that it was a clumsy dance move.
It was an awkward dance move with no accompaniment or song. Even the bizarre feeling of such a beautiful Aira dancing can be felt.
But Aira was so absorbed that sweat broke out on her forehead. Ira said.
“My grandfather was the son-in-law of Daryl. grandparents of grandparents. Tarantera is a family of women. For what purpose did those women create special dance moves?”
“Are you saying that now is the dance?”
“Yeah, it’s a silly dance. There is no such thing as nobility. Witches are bizarre and ridiculous beings, even in my opinion. … I didn’t know I was going to be able to do this dance.”
slurp.
Ira took off a glove she was wearing on her hand and hung it on the wall. Another glove soon. The scarf on her neck and the shoes on her legs are also removed.
It was finally time for her to take her stockings off.
“No, why do you keep taking your clothes off? What if other people see it?”
Despite my bewildered question, Ira moved her body.
“If you want me to stop doing this ridiculous dance. Marry me, Tae Oh Gospel. I am courting now as a woman, not as a queen.”
DAMN 0_0
OHHH!!! FINALLY!
