Episode 175 – Growing misunderstanding
56 Million won.
It is by no means a light amount.
In the meantime, I have been caught up in this and that, and I have been rewarded by the state for my achievements, but….
That’s not a large amount of money to live on for the rest of my life, and it’s small enough to say that it’s small compared to what I built in the first place.
But why did he willingly buy mermaid tears from the devil? If that’s what you ask….
‘Because it’s cheap for my life.’
If I live, mankind will live.
So I survived for humanity.
And one of the reasons was that it was extremely cheap for a mermaid’s tears of that level.
‘It would have been nice if it came into my hands instead of the demon king….’
I don’t even feel like I bought it cheaply.
Because of that, if we are defeated by the demon king, I will bite my tongue and kill myself.
Even though I had already paid, my hands trembled because I always regretted it.
‘I can change the name to Siwoo Han’s Tears of Blood instead of Tears of Blood of Mermaids.’
I feel like I’m going to cry real tears.
However, the demon king was unaware of my heart and was looking down at it with mermaid tears hanging around his neck.
She didn’t show it outwardly, perhaps because she was quite happy, but she could feel her eyes twinkling.
‘… I feel weak because I’m doing that with Dina’s face.’
Meanwhile, Dina was looking at me with strange eyes, as if she was wary of a suspicious and dangerous person.
… Why is he like this again?
Could it be that the devil didn’t like the fact that I bought mermaid’s tears?
“Hey, Dina. I bought that….”
“Be quiet. This pedophile.”
“Yes?”
“Pedo. Transformation.”
“Yes?”
What the hell are you talking about, dinadina?
“Ohaya, Dina….”
“Hmm….”
But Dina didn’t let go of her guard and kept glancing at me.
“How can I believe that?”
“No, I have you-.”
Before I could finish my words, the demon king pulled my sleeve.
“I want to go there too.”
“Ugh… okay.”
If you don’t want to die, you have to go.
As I was being led by the demon king like that, a small voice from behind struck me in the back of the head.
“… Also. Lolicon was right.”
“Oh, no….”
But my infidelity didn’t seem to reach her ears.
… What do we do?
Wouldn’t it be better for this world to perish, as Dina hates it?
Just hit the demon king in the back and commit suicide together with the world!
‘Awesome. Totally romantic.’
Paladin Siu Han commits suicide with the whole world for love.
Of course, I don’t really intend to do that… Because I don’t want to die first.
And if you die, you won’t even see Dina.
‘I hope I can clear up the misunderstanding later….’
Right now, we have no choice but to cater to the devil’s liking.

‘It’s amazing!’
That was the first thought the girl felt.
Everything was different.
It was completely different from his world, which was black and dull, where there was nothing bright except for the blue sky.
It was a heaven of wonders just by looking at it.
Buildings were huddled together in a variety of shapes, and people all looked alike, but each had their own individuality distinct enough to distinguish them.
Even though I couldn’t feel any magical energy, there were glass pieces that lit up alone and brightened up the surroundings, and there were many foods I had never seen before, or at least in my memory.
Among them, the most curious was none other than Han Si-woo.
A woman who resembles herself next to her… Dina Polaris was also amazing, but not as much as Siwoo Han.
A girl’s eyes can even pierce the soul.
Therefore, it was strange that a soul that did not match the body settled in the body, even though it was known in the head.
And more than anything else, it was truly special to see people face to face who I thought were my saviors and hopes.
In terms of other people, it feels like meeting your favorite character in real life that you only see in comics or novels.
Also, thanks to the weakened shackles, I can suppress the runaway and have a conversation.
That’s why the girl’s chest was beating incredibly.
Next, Dina, who was less novel than Han Siu… She was born with a similar fate as the girl, but it was a lucky case.
If the girl’s world had been destroyed by God, and people including the girl hadn’t become refugees crossing over here.
So, on the other hand, if this side had been destroyed and the people on this side had become refugees in the world of girls.
Dina, who is not a girl, would have the fate of the demon king.
In that sense, Dina was a special existence for the girl.
However, it was only that his presence was buried by Han Si-woo.
If it had not been for Siwoo Han, the girl would have welcomed Dina.
The girl asked the two to go get some food.
It was definitely something called ‘gukbap’. It was definitely a name that existed somewhere in my memory.
The last time we ate food was about 3,000 years ago.
At least, considering that the food he ate until then was purple soup with whole demon bones in it, this soup, rice soup, was quite unique.
Eating it didn’t seem like it would melt my stomach, nor would my skin change color or harden.
Above all, the smell was strange.
Plus the taste….
She was so outstanding that she unknowingly let go of the strings of reason and ate several bowls.
The strange thing didn’t stop there.
The academy, a place I’ve been wanting to visit for a long time.
A place of longing for her, who has lived an unfathomably distant life, always looking at it from afar.
The girl headed there with Siu Han and Dina at the fore.

And the place where she finally arrived was truly a dream world.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that everything in the world is gathered together.
At least from the girl’s point of view, it looked like that.
Even though she was full from just eating soup, the fragrant smells wafting from here and there seduced the girl.
If the girl put her mind to it, she could return everything that was in her stomach to what it was, but before that, she felt familiar yet strange energy from somewhere.
And where she arrived, she found it.
She hopes that one day she will carry on the legacy of the race she has destroyed.
Mermaid. And mermaid tears.
No matter how much time passed, there were still things I couldn’t forget.
Especially if it’s her memories of when she almost died.
There was a time when a party of warriors led an entire race of mermaids and invaded.
There were people who were so strong that I had never experienced it in my life, so I wondered if I could die this time.
But….
After all, it was the girl who survived at the end.
The mermaids who gave everything were exterminated at the cost of defeat.
And that’s one of the girls’ countless sins.
Then it was a girl’s duty to take care of their last legacy and always look back on her sins.
… ‘, Thought the girl.
That’s why the girl wanted to have it.
“56 Million won.”
The old man, who appears to be the owner of the store, offered a price.
Anyway, even though the girl has been living her long time disconnected from humans, she hasn’t forgotten the concept of trading.
Trade is a natural thing for an intelligent being.
However, if there was one problem, it was that the girl did not have an item worth 56 million won.
Perhaps it was referring to the unit of currency, seeing as it includes numbers….
How much is 56 million won?
With that question in mind, the girl looked at Han Si-woo.
Then, Hansi, who flinched in place, sighed deeply, took out something, and held it out to the old man.
I didn’t mean to ask you to buy it, but you’re buying it!
Moreover, judging from the fact that she completed her deal without thinking for a long time, 56 million won did not seem like a very large amount.
Since her deal was successful, the girl put the handed mermaid’s tears right around her neck.
The guilt of having annihilated a race seemed to add more weight to it, but it didn’t matter.
That was something the girl had to shoulder.
As she looked down at the mermaid’s tears, it felt like her eyes were getting moist for no reason.
While appreciating it for a while, Han Si-woo and Dina quarreled over an unknown conversation, but that was not something the girl particularly cared about.
In the first place, when the girl was watching, the two often quarreled.
… In reality, the relationship between the two was just awkward, but it seemed that way in the girl’s eyes.
That’s why the girl didn’t pay attention to the two fighting and fighting, and pulled Han Siu’s sleeve to go look around.
Next it was time to taste the food here!
The girl didn’t even know that the young man who was holding her by the sleeve felt the fear of death from her.
And without even realizing that she was immersed in the anxiety that a misunderstanding might result in her social burial.
Moved on.
Toward a sparkling new world.
