Resurrected Immortal 660

Chapter 660 – 660. Extended Leave (4)

As the morning dawned, the farmers gathered one by one to the farm and started their daily routine.
Yesterday became today, today became tomorrow, and it was the beginning of a daily life in which the same thing repeated every day.
As usual, plowing the fields and planting crops greeted the morning, and the time quickly turned to lunchtime.
The newly prepared food was, of course, hard bread, potatoes, and soup in a bowl.
It was a really meager lunch, but for the farmers who rented the land of the lord, which is a small and medium-sized farm area, this is a daily diet.
A farmer glanced around as he chewed on the new ration of hard bread.

“Is that young man already gone?”

“Yes. What.”

“Huh, what a strange young man. After all, is it good to be young?”

The man who came up as a topic of conversation among farmers was Eunhyeon.

“Were you able to work like that when you were younger?”

“… There was none.”

The reason why he became a hot topic among farmers was very diverse.
One of the most representative is that even if you do your job well, you do it too well.
If you give them a plow, don’t they finish the job in a few hours before lunch, which would have required them to plow the field non-stop from morning to noon?
What was even more amazing was that he was doing the work of a few people while taking on other tasks without getting tired there.
The amount of work is many times greater than that of others, and yet they finish it faster than themselves.
Of course, the amount of wages they take must be enormous.
However, the farmers were not at all jealous or dissatisfied with Eun-hyeon, who received more wages than they did.
It was because he had no confidence to work like that in order to demand the price of his labor.
Eun-hyeon’s physical ability was no longer envy and respect to farmers, but only wonder and astonishment.

“I heard that you decided to finish working in the field in the morning and go to the mine in the afternoon to dig iron?”

“Her. What are you really doing, young man?”

Farmers reacted with amazement.
Originally, there is a saying that a man suffers from buying from a young age, but that also depends on it.
It could only be explained as a madness that could not be explained by terms of sincerity or talent, as if seeing something other than human.

“No. Rather than that, where the heck do you make all that money and spend it?”

“I heard that the village they lived in was attacked by bandits and they managed to escape. So I heard you are saving money to buy a house to settle down here quickly.”

Perhaps because Eun-hyun’s move was so famous, rumors naturally spread about the reason why he and his wife came here.

“… Great.”

The farmers ate a new meal with Eunhyeon’s story as their theme, and when the break was over, the time of repeated labor began again.

◆ ◆ ◆

Caang!

The sound of iron ore and pickaxe colliding filled the mine.

Caang! Caang! Caang!

The intense noise, enough to make both ears tingle and tingle, repeats itself regularly and echoes loudly.

“… Look!”

Eunhyeon kept swinging her pickaxe to mine minerals without a break.
Like an automaton mechanically mining minerals, he regularly swung his pickaxe with constant speed and force.
No one was around Eunhyeon anymore.
Originally, it was common sense for a miner to put dozens of people into a single mine, but other miners couldn’t keep up with Eun-hyeon’s mining speed.
In addition, one of the reasons may be that I couldn’t stand this noise that made my ears tear.
Eun-hyeon continued to mine minerals without hesitation in order to fill the quota by mining them as quickly as possible.
While digging for minerals like that, Eunhyeon reached a situation where she could no longer dig for minerals.

“… Is it already full?”

In the fork containing the canned minerals, the minerals that could not be contained were overflowing and falling to the floor.
The amount of minerals he dug alone was about three times greater than that of ordinary miners.
It meant that the capacity of the fork carrying the canned minerals filled up faster, and the round-trip cycle to the outside of the storage was very fast compared to others.
After concentrating for a long time, when her concentration was broken again, Eun-hyeon sighed and carried a load full of minerals on his shoulder.
He left the mine and walked slowly towards the storage.
While moving to go outside, Eunhyeon encountered miners once again who were digging for minerals with a pickaxe.
He was a miner who had been assigned to the same group as him.

“… Also?”

“Wow… Really turned…”

“Are you human?”

Five or six times he had seen him go to the deepest depths, dig for minerals alone, and load them up in a forklift.
Other miners complain of pain in their shoulders and build statues of death just by going back and forth once or twice under the weight of the minerals in the fork, but this silver-haired man did not show a sign of exhaustion.
All the miners who encountered Eunhyeon focused on their work with expressions of boredom rather than expressions of looking at people.

‘Should I stop here for today?’

The quota is already full and overflowing.
Perhaps because the extra allowance was a fairly small amount, and it was because she used more energy than usual, Eun-hyeon felt unexpectedly tired in her body.

“Good job!”

The foreman who manages the miners in the mine smiled with satisfaction as he saw the huge amount of iron piled up in the storage.
Looking at the amount of iron ore that was tightly packed, the foreman couldn’t help but smile.
He talked to Eun-hyeon, thinking that there was no such thing as a complete fortune as to where such a worker specialized in nogada came from.

“Eunhyeon! What do you do after that!? Let’s go have a drink afterward!?”

It was already the fourth invitation from the foreman, who smiled broadly at how happy he was.
It is a daily routine for the miners who have finished their day’s work by fulfilling their quota to go to the tavern to relieve fatigue and comfort their tired bodies with alcohol and food.
But, of course, Eun-hyeon had never attended this dinner party.

“I’m sorry, but my wife is waiting at home…”

A week after starting the miner’s work, the foreman’s invitation was four times, and at the same time, Eun-hyeon rejected his invitation four times for the same reason each time.

“Ugh! Your wife will understand in a day or so! Don’t take it off today and follow me!”

Even if Eun-hyeon liked the work foreman, he was too attached to it.

“…”

Eunhyeon, helplessly grabbed by the nape of her neck, pondered.
If he wanted to say no, he could have said it strongly, but he didn’t hate the atmosphere too much.
Most of all, it bothered him that he liked himself and kept rejecting favors.
Even though this is a virtual world embodied by the power of a goddess, humans are not so heartless that they can dismiss the world in front of them and its members as fake and cut off the connection.
Eunhyeon didn’t want to think that the foreman’s kindness and feelings toward her were fake.

“All right.”

“Haha! It should be!”

Eunhyeon had no choice but to accept the work foreman’s invitation to a dinner party.
When Eun-hyeon, who had repeatedly refused the invitation, finally expressed her intention to accept, the foreman’s face brightened even more.

“Send it early instead. If you suddenly come home too late, her wife will be worried.”

“I really want it. I get it! Okay! Who has no wife!”

The foreman, who grumbled a little, didn’t look so sad.
Eun-hyeon slightly turned her head and stared in the direction of her thatched-roof house.
She was worried that Belldandi, who would be alone at home, would be able to make dinner on her own.
About a week had passed since living in this virtual world, but Belldandy, who was not used to the human body, was still having a hard time even eating dinner alone.
At least she started doing laundry and cleaning by herself while learning housework.

‘… I’m going to pay attention, eat in moderation, and go home.’

Eun-hyeon let out a small sigh and joined the dinner party with the miners who came out one by one.

◆ ◆ ◆

The sun had set and it was long past evening.
All that lights up the darkened house is a small candle on top of the lamp.
Belldandy was waiting for Eunhyeon, who hadn’t come home yet.

“… That’s strange.”

No matter how late it was, Eun-hyeon, who had come home and had dinner with her by the time the sun went down, she hadn’t returned home, even though it was time to sleep after the sun had gone down.

“I’ve never had a child come home this late… If only I could go find it… Ha…”

If this place was real and not a virtual world, if she could use the power of a goddess rather than the constraints of her human body.
He would have tracked down Eunhyeon’s location in the state of spiritualization right away and went to check the situation.
But for Belldandi now, that was impossible.

“As expected, did I set the limit too high…? .”

The aftermath that forced the flow of fate to be corrected so that no unfortunate incidents would ever occur.
Belldandi, who implemented this virtual world, was currently receiving the penalty intact.
Seeing how things turned out, Belldandi felt a little bit regretful.
In this situation where I can’t be with Eun-hyeon, I feel very lonely and miss it.
It was impossible to tell whether the body of Belldandi, who had become a human, felt that way, or whether the heart of the goddess itself felt it.
I couldn’t go outside in such a dark time zone, but it was very frustrating to wait.
After waiting like that, a conversation he had with the women he had washed with during the day came to mind in Belldandi’s mind.

-What? Is the husband of the house having an affair?

– Even so. Lately I’ve been wanting to come home late. I had an affair with a bar girl. In the end, the human must have been beaten to death.

It was a story that it was at a family home where boredom came.
It was a pity that her husband, who came home drunk and turned into rice cakes long after the sun went down, mentioned the name of a woman he had never heard of before.
Her wife sensed her strangeness, and after doing some research on her, she realized that her husband had been cheating on her by degenerating into a vulgar relationship of biting and sucking with her bar girl.
After that, the ending was obvious.
The story of the wives ended with the cheating husband begging for her hands and begging for forgiveness that he would never do that again.

– The lady is also good at guarding her husband. You never know when a man will change.

-Ah, the child… My child is not like that…

Despite the sincere advice of the women, Belldandi did not listen carefully to their advice.
It was because he had never thought that in this world, Eun-hyeon would leave him alone and spend time with another woman.
However, it would be better if this place was not a virtual world, but the reality of the underworld, and Illyana, Eleanor, Lilina and Erin were by Eunhyeon’s side.
Belldandy would not have been this anxious.
As Eun-hyeon did not return until late at night when the sun had set, innumerable delusions began to bloom like flowers in Belldandy’s head.

“Oh, the child is not such a bad child… !”

To whom were the words that I shouted out alone in a thatched-roofed house where no one was listening?
While doing the laundry, it could have been the words he said to the women who had a strange wind in him, or it could have been the words he said to himself who had sprouted anxious doubts.

“Oh, I can’t. I will go out to find the child, the child.”

In the end, Belldandi couldn’t stand it and wrapped a blanket around him and left the house.
Being directly hit by the chilly night wind, Belldandi shivered slightly.
