140 – I Will Stand Alone
“If you have to understand, why don’t you hold back or express your opinion more moderately? All kinds of anger block good luck and bring evil, so you should always be careful with your mouth and tongue.”
Jinseong said that as if to bruise the great witch who was slowly avoiding her gaze. However, unlike his words, his tone was not so angry, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Bondi, blessings and guests have similarities. They are willing to visit those who are generous and have a good personality, but it is because of this nature that they do not easily come to those who are angry and cause trouble to those around them. Even if you do, you should control the intensity well and make it appear in the form of persuasion, not anger. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes? Yes…”
The Archwitch could only stare blankly at Jinseong.
I thought that she would be greatly punished for causing trouble to her family, but didn’t I end up listening to light advice? She even seemed to be deeply sympathetic to the High Witch’s words, if you listened to her words, and she even mixed in not only that, but also her praise that she was subtly good.
If you think about it carefully, rather than scolding her for what she just said, it seemed that it was nothing more than an act of catering, saying, ‘I did a good job, but I can’t just skip it, so I’ll just say one word’.
So I have no choice but to put on a bewildered expression.
“However, judging from the follow-up, I knew very well that my words were being accepted with gold and gold. It is truly a joy and joy, so how can I stay still? Archwitch, reach out your hand to me.”
After saying that, Jinseong put his palm forward. Then the Archwitch hesitated, wondering how to react to this, and after a moment’s hesitation, she raised her right hand to the palm of her hand. It looked like a large dog putting its front paws on the palm of a person.
Jinseong gently grasped the hand of the great witch who was on top of his, and then held out his left hand and began to smoke something in her.
Kulleong.
The gold that melted from Jinseong’s sleeve started to flow like liquid and gather in Jinseong’s palm. Streams gathered from various tributaries formed a lump as if it were becoming a lake, and the gold that had become a single lump swelled to form a mountain-like shape, as if dust piled up and became a mountain.
Then, when the gold reached the right size, it twisted its body in a spiral shape and became a long stick, and the tip of the stick became a wide disc. Eventually, the discs were cut into many branches, and then they overlapped each other and came together to form the shape of a flower.
It was a rose made of gold.
Seeing flowers blooming from gold in real time, the Archwitch seemed dazzled by the light. She couldn’t take her eyes off the golden rose in Jinseong’s hand, and Jinseong took the golden rose with her fingers and placed it in the right hand of the great witch he was holding.
Wriggling
Then the tip of the golden rose moved like a snake and wrapped around the archwitch’s wrist, and the stem, which had been a long stick, became a bracelet around her witch’s wrist like a twisting vine. And the golden rose, in the form of a bud that was about to bloom, changed my body thin and small and turned into a suitable size for a bracelet ornament.
As a result, a beautiful bracelet was placed on the archwitch’s right wrist, as if it were woven from very small golden roses.
“In the future, it means to be virtuous and do good things around you.I made a simple casting of mine and gave it as a gift, so you will have to keep my words in your heart and practice them well in the future.”
Jinseong said so and gently brushed the back of the archwitch’s hand. He then smiled at her bright smile as he watched her tickle her. Her smile seemed so pure that the Archwitch felt for a moment that her smile, in her true nature, radiated a radiance similar to that of a golden bracelet on her own arm.
“It’s something to keep well. Will you?”
“Ah yes…”
“It has the power to ward off evil, and it has the power to ward off evil. It has a warm nature, so if it is beneficial, it will be beneficial and not harmful. However, gold has a deceptive disposition, and flowers are also beautiful. And there may be people who are drawn to its fragrance, but this is not a big harm, and if you treat them kindly and bless them, just as flowers give nectar to bees and butterflies to multiply with pollen, It will come back as a greater blessing. Remember it well.”
Jinseong briefly explained the power of his bracelet and then walked back to his room.
It seems that the great witch used her hand, and all the useless decorations have disappeared, giving off a desolate atmosphere, but the desolate appearance gave Jinseong more comfort.
‘It’s a familiar look.’
He was walking like that when he suddenly found a graffiti written on a corner of the wall.
The graffiti, which seemed to have been written on the spot where the artwork was hanging, was a vivid black color as if it hadn’t been long.
The scribbles were quite geometric patterns.
Rather than scribbles drawn by a human hand, the shape seems to have been inspired by a person skilled in drawing. It was a fairly well-drawn painting, one that would most likely answer yes if asked if it had artistic value.
From noble mtl dot com
And under it, a square was drawn like an optimism, and inside it was written letters the size of millet.
『Come and Go – Spring & Winter』
Spring.
Winter.
Just by looking at those two words, Jinseong could tell who did the graffiti.
It was clear that sisters Ella and Anastasia were doing it.
‘Come to think of it, it was like that. Marten also enjoyed leaving traces of my visits, like marking territory here and there until I pointed out and corrected it.’
Jin-seong remembered his colleague who had been on the battlefield with him before returning. And he was soaked in nostalgia and was unknowingly trying to stroke the scribble with his hand when he heard a voice behind him.
“Eunin, you can’t erase that~”
When Jinseong turned his head, Anastasia was staring at him with only her head sticking out from the slightly open door. When Jinseong looked at her, she smiled and said with a cute expression.
“It’s all memories, can’t we just leave it alone?”
And before Jinseong could react to those words, he heard footsteps rushing from inside the door. Ella, who came running with the sound of footsteps, shut Anastasia’s mouth tightly, and in the process, the small door opened wide.
Ella, who was wearing a comfortable-looking outfit, closed her Anastasia’s mouth tightly, and she said with an apologetic expression to Jinseong.
“Sorry for scribbling. You can erase it! No, I’ll erase it, so don’t mind!”
At Ella’s words, Anastasia widened her eyes and squirmed her body away from her. Then she cried out loud.
“No! Please don’t delete it!”
“No, sister…”
“Brother! SisterIt’s an order! Take back what you just said and go ahead and agree with me!”
Cock cock.
“Kyaa! What is this!”
Anastasia grabbed Ella’s body and moved it swiftly to and fro with the strength and quickness typical of her child. Her she-kun perched behind her in her carelessness and attacked her with her prodding. Ella tried to catch Anastasia by twisting her body around, but she couldn’t catch Anastasia acting as if she knew all of Ella’s patterns.
“Oh really! What the hell are you doing!”
Kock-kock.
“Kyaaak!”
This behavior continued even after Ella vented her wrath.
“Cancel! Cancel!”
“Okay~ You did a good job~”
Anastasia stopped attacking when Ella announced her surrender, and smiled approvingly as she stroked Ella’s head as she sat on her floor. But her Ella glanced at her Anastasia as she stroked her own hair, her slow glance at her chance, and then, with a quick glance at her, lifted her up and slid her door. Threw it inside
Then he slammed the door on her and leaned against her to prevent her from getting out.
Bang!
“Brother! What are you doing!”
“Just let it be there!”
“Brother-! We must protect our work! This is art! We must protect art!”
Ella watched her true nature, blocking her door with her whole body.
However, there was quite a bit of embarrassment on Ella’s face as she looked at him, as if she was embarrassed by this situation.
“That… Hair Park. My sister insisted on drawing a picture here and there… I will be responsible for erasing it.”
“It’s a painting.”
Jinseong looked at the graffiti once again.
Geometric shape.
A pattern that seems to have been drawn at once by a person with his own worldview inspired by it.
Jinseong looked at the pattern and saw the empty hallway.
And I thought hard about it.
Does the pattern look good in the hallway?
Yes.
The artwork will be placed there, but is it suitable even then?
Yes.
Does the pattern itself have any special power?
I do not know.
Okay.
I do not know.
Jinseong looked at the pattern.
I didn’t feel any energy in the pattern. I couldn’t feel any energy such as chi, mana, mana, or natural power, and the pattern only existed as a picture and part of the wall. And since the pattern didn’t seem to have anything to do with any witchcraft he knew, it seemed safe.
But don’t be careless.
If you think of the dambi before returning, who had accidents while poking around…
It was clear that if this pattern had any power, it would be much better to get rid of it.
Jinseong opened the door to a nearby empty room by squeezing the air, and brought a piece of white paper from there.
He placed a piece of white paper over the pattern as if to cover it, and rubbed the top of the paper with his hand.
As if trying to make it permeate well.
Then he quietly put his hand on the paper, took a moment to steam, and then peeled off the paper.
“Oh.”
Ella, who was watching Jinseong with interest, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
The patterns painted on the walls have disappeared.
Instead, the white attached to the patternThe picture on the paper was in place as if it had moved.
Jinseong held out the paper to Ella.
“Frau Winter. How can you make a customer do chores like erasing graffiti? And no matter how graffiti is, it’s definitely a memory, so you can’t treat it carelessly.”
He smiled brightly.
It was similar to the innocent-looking smile he had given to the Archwitch earlier.
However, if what he made earlier was the smile of a boy, what he made now was the smile of a young man.
“Here is the memories of Frau Winter, Frau Lenz. Would you accept it?”
He said that and placed the paper in Ella’s hand.
