79 – Ice castle collapsing (6)
Han Seok-ho, the original protagonist.
The guy’s girlfriend was a role passed on to Kim Soo-han in the original work.
It was not described in detail how Kim Soo-han tricked him. She doesn’t even know what happened to her after she fell for Kim Soo-han. She hasn’t appeared once since.
‘I don’t even know the name.’
Anyway.
She knew early on that Kim Soo-han’s world was real, and she warned her not to approach him, so she knew there would be no harm.
But I would have thought that she had an affair with some strange guy, not with Kim Soo-han.
I let out a sigh.
Anyway, a guy who targets other people’s women is a problem, but a woman whose heart is shaken like a reed is also a problem.
Sure.
That woman is that even if she wasn’t Kim Soo-han, she was a piece of trash that would one day fall easily for another man.
‘I don’t know why her ass is so light.’
As long as you give Kim Soo-han some attention.
I felt foolish for thinking that Han Seok-ho’s romantic relationship would be smooth.
‘That’s why the readers who read the novel wrote in the comments that, if they don’t know anything else, you should never forgive a woman who left because she was NTRed.’
Only Han Seok-ho became pitiful.
I’d rather have told you not to have a girlfriend.
‘It’s too late to regret it.’
In fact, Han Seok-ho is not necessary to progress the story. It means that he doesn’t have to deliberately take care of it.
‘I’m sure he’ll overcome and grow on his own anyway…’
Still, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Because I had enough ability to change the unfortunate future.
‘Let’s have a meeting later. Ask Yura.’
That was the least I could atone for.
And recently, Kim Soo-han said that he was getting along with Han Seok-ho, so he asked me to take care of him so that he wouldn’t go astray.
That’s how I ended my private talk with Kim Soo-han.
I immediately returned to the mansion to check the data Seo Han-bit investigated.
***
The hallway on the second floor of Pasasak Mansion.
When I lightly knocked on the door of Room 207, where Seo Han-bit resided, her crackling sound resounded as if she was doing something.
“Hey, you’re here early!”
After a while, the door opens slowly.
Seo Hanbit greeted me, catching her breath.
Judging from the fact that he was sweating profusely, he must have been doing some major cleaning.
“Now, come in quickly! Before anyone sees!”
“What do you think when you look at it…. Anyway, excuse me.”
After I entered the room.
She looked around with her face sticking out in her hallway, perhaps obsessed with her role as a detective. Han Bit locked the door and handed me the investigation data.
She said, “I have summarized more of the material I was going to show you earlier.”
“Are the data reliable?”
“Of course. My personal thoughts are colored with a highlighter, so you can just refer to them.”
“I will read it first.”
She found a suitable place and sat down.
She slowly read the paper she received from Seo Han-bit right away.
「Youngji-sama’s Investigation Report」
She honestly didn’t expect much.
Seo Hanbit has a lot of fluff, so she was ignoring it.
But the more I read, the more I read.
Every reasoning she made based on her research data seemed plausible.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘What is it? Are you actually quite talented at this?’
Corrected her posture.
I started reading seriously again.

To summarize.
Kim Young-ji has a different job.
That’s a necromancer class job,
She is taking care of her father by reviving him as a zombie.
Was Seo Han-bit’s guess.
The logical basis for that was also densely written.
‘Critically, he said he accidentally overheard a voice similar to that of a monster coming out of the territory.’
For confirmation.
I summoned an iron rice bowl and asked many questions about Kim Young-ji.
First, a question about hair color.
─Nowadays, we know that dyeing is also an artifact, so it is impossible to make an accurate judgment unless a hair is pulled out and analyzed.
“What is the pupil color?”
─ There’s a chance she’s wearing a lens artifact, so I guess I’ll have to pluck out one of her eyeballs and analyze it.
“…On hold for now.”
Not a normal artifact,
Iron Rice Bowl’s answer was that if it was an artifact with an effect that blocked detection, it could not be properly distinguished.
Next, the question about the occupation you have.
─Artifacts can be fooled enough.
“That’s a rice bowl, can’t you check it?”
─You need to scan closely. It won’t reveal it, but it will tell you if you’re wearing a blocking artifact.
After finishing the answer, the iron rice bowl moved its gaze to Seo Han-bit.
─Doombundu. You seem to know how to do something unexpected. I’ll give you a compliment sticker later.
“Yes? Go, thank you. But what is deombundu?”
─It’s a dark pink lid.
“Couldn’t you call me by your normal name…?”
─If you collect ten compliment stickers and bring them back, I’ll consider it.
Anyway.
From here on out, it wouldn’t be much of a problem if Kim Young-ji had a secret.
‘It could be her personal circumstances.’
Because Kim Young-ji and we are not close enough to openly share all our secrets.
‘It’s never really harmed us…’
I was worried about whether I should keep digging into this.
The easiest way is to use Bob’s lie detection, but I couldn’t ask questions like an interrogation. There is such a thing as courtesy.
What should I do?
I tried to ask Bobtong for advice.
─Invasion of privacy is not good.
“Isn’t that right?”
─Like anyone else, digging into someone’s back isn’t a very good hobby.
I had the same idea with Bobton.
Seo Han-bit seemed to be listening to her words and was ignoring her.
‘Then should I just skip this?’
I was thinking about quitting the investigation because it might make me uncomfortable with Kim Young-ji.
─But.
The iron rice bowl gave another opinion.
─For safety reasons, it is judged that it is better to check thoroughly.
It seems that he has changed his mind.
“For safety?”
─There is no guarantee that Sabbuntu will not be our enemy. If you think about it and just go over it, you may come to a big risk in the future.
After listening to it, Iron Rice Bowl’s words were not wrong.
I could have caused an unexpected danger if I went over this matter with the mind that I did not want to doubt my friend.
‘Yes. Since we live in the same condominium, it’s okay to check this much. For safety reasons.’
Maybe even lie detection won’t work. I don’t know how good the blocking artifact is. First of all, we decided to find out whether the blocking artifact was worn or not.
‘… I’ll ask as carefully as possible so as not to offend.’
After solving the freezing guild problem.
I decided to call Kim Young-ji separately and check the facts.
***
At the same time, room 206 of Passasac Mansion.
Youngji Kim turned off her soundproofing artifacts. She
She turned on the sound amplification artifact, then she sat her face against the wall, eavesdropping on a conversation in the room next to her.
She
She heard everything she was talking about and she was talking about herself.
Kim Young-ji lowered her eyes and spoke to something like black mud spread on the floor.
“···What do you want to do, Dad? Almost all of them seem to have been caught, should I just reveal my identity?”
—That’s why I told you not to get involved with people who are being observed.
“You can’t live in hiding forever. Dad, do you want to run away again like before?”
─·······.
“But are you sure that Lee Hyeon-seong is also being observed?”
—The day I felt the energy of the new observer, the man’s personality completely changed, so it must be certain. This time, it’s probably possessed… No, it’s a fusion person.
The black mud stuck to Youngji Kim’s legs and slowly climbed up her body. Then he transformed into a shape and wrapped around his forearm. At first glance, it looked like a paltosh.
─Rather than that, do you really intend to stick with Lee Hyun-seong?
Youngji Kim said while creating a grotesque mouth from the black arm that was parasitic on her arm.
“I couldn’t trust Han Seok-ho or Kim Soo-han, but Lee Hyun-seong is a monster summoner…. He is the man with the power of the god who gave birth to my father.”
—Mamon, I told you before…
“Youngji Kim.”
—-Yeongji, I’ve said it before, but the fact that the observed person can reverse the relationship with the observer is only a story I heard from the ancient gods, and it’s not certain.
Hearing the words of the black mud, Kim Young-ji let out a deep sigh.
“Okay, stop talking about that. If the Old Gods said it, it must be true. What do you suspect?”
─Yes, I got it… Anyway, it would be nice to have a conversation here. Observers may have turned their attention to us, so we should always keep our mouths open.
Kim Young-ji answered, raising the corner of her mouth.
“I know. The observer listens to the daytime talk and the observer listens to the night talk. Is that something like that?”
─You are familiar with it.
“I will be careful. Won’t you be interested in me anyway? In the meantime, I faithfully fulfilled my role as a cowardly extra, but there is something to see.”
After that.
The conversation between the two stopped.
As if you were conscious of someone.
One hour.
For two or three hours, there was no sound of conversation.
Only silence flowed inside the room.
***
The day before the war has arrived.
Though it’s unlikely that the plan will go wrong.
Variables may occur due to trivial things, so we decided to be fully prepared.
First of all, it was Cha Yoo-ra’s care.
She gave her a bug monster that she evolved a while ago.
‘Although it turned out to be more terrifying than I thought… It’s fine if Yura likes it.’
Three-star monster, King Wheel.
2 Star monster, elder wheel.
Both of them were monsters that looked exactly like cockroaches.
The elder cockroach is a larger version of the cockroach,
The King Wheel was an entity that walked on two legs with human legs sprouting from the shape of an elder wheel. It was about 1 meter tall.
In particular, the King Cockroach possesses the skill to use its limbs to manipulate even normal cockroaches, not monsters.
‘Was it up to 30,000?’
In order for the king cockroach to beckon cockroaches.
Since they had to sign a master/servant contract one by one, they currently only have about 2,000 of them.
‘I thought it would be creepy to carry all of them around, but it was fortunate that there was room to store the cockroach troops.’
The pouch on the belly of the king’s cockroach is a subspace pouch, and only cockroaches can enter it.
In a way.
It was no different from a cockroach summoner.
Anyway, let’s explain the new power at once.
Cockroaches are common soldiers.
Elder Wheel General.
King wheel is literally a king.
This is the end of Cha Yoo-ra’s care.
We also distributed mass-produced artifacts to the summoned beasts, and now there was only one left.
“The processing is all over.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who crossed the northern front together, said. I nodded and opened the book.
The last one left.
That was the Devil’s evolution.
‘If I evolve into an Arc Devil, I hope that strange tastes disappear.’
It was time to evolve the third 4-star pet.
