Chapter 761 – 761. Relationship to Be Restored (2)
While looking for a suitable place to install a gate to return home, Eun-hyeon, who was walking on a forest path, asked Ju-hong.
“Hongah.”
“Huh?”
“What do you plan to do in the future?”
“… I didn’t really think about it.”
Ju-hong was just living a wandering life, earning a day by day doing adventure activities, but he hadn’t lived his life aiming for something and taking action.
He was preoccupied with just surviving and adapting in this world.
In fact, the reason he came across rumors about Eun-hyeon floating in the world and wanted to confirm whether the Eun-hyeon he knew was true was simply because of the regret and guilt that remained in his heart.
He really didn’t think he’d be able to meet Eun-hyeon.
Ju-hong just needed a reason to move, and he was so lonely that he needed it.
He realized how precious it was to have someone to believe in and support him in this harsh world with no one to trust, until he lost it.
“I’m sorry… I can’t live with you like before.”
The relationship between the two has changed so much.
The relationship between the younger sister and her older brother, who had to trust and rely on each other, had already deteriorated, and too much time and people had passed between them to restore the relationship.
Fortunately, Ju-hong was also aware of it and accepted it.
Rather, I wanted to decline even on the vermillion side.
“What? I hate that too.”
Ju-hong, frowning, waved his hand and refused.
“You two are a couple? In the meantime, do you want me to join you? I absolutely hate it!”
“Haha.”
Eunhyun laughed bitterly, perhaps not knowing that he would reject it so violently.
But he was also relieved to understand that it wasn’t because he didn’t like him.
The past Ju-hong, who was disappointed and unacceptable to Eun-hyeon for not being able to protect her father, Ju Hyeon-seong, is no longer.
Juhong’s heart was restored again.
Eun-hyeon was happy inside that the improvement in her relationship with Ju-hong, which she had longed for, could only be achieved when she died and met her in the next life.
[That’s why a child is a mask because he has too many thoughts.]
Belldandy gently pulled Eun-hyeon’s hair and continued her nagging at him.
[If you are happy and good right now, isn’t that what it is?]
‘… Yes.’
Eunhyun reluctantly agreed.
As Belldandi said.
It is useless to worry about what was the correct answer back then.
The important thing is to protect Ju-hong according to Ju Hyeon-seong’s will from now on.
[Okay. That was enough.]
Verdandy, who confirmed that decision and attitude, smiled and said that he liked it.
Eun-hyeon spoke to Ju-hong again.
“Wouldn’t you like to live in Fernias Kingdom?”
“The Kingdom of Fernias?”
“This is where I am now.”
“… Brother. There is me There’s something you’re very concerned about, and I haven’t asked you until now?”
“What?”
“That is…”
Ju-hong glanced at Erin, who was walking side by side with Eun-hyeon’s arms crossed, and cautiously asked.
“Brother, is it true that you have multiple wives?”
“…”
Eunhyun’s expression hardened for a moment and she couldn’t answer right away.
I looked straight at Erin to understand the situation.
“Erin. Did you talk?”
“Huh. I talked why?”
Erin, who answered confidently with a smile on her face, didn’t seem to understand what was wrong at all.
Eun-hyeon felt a slight headache and reluctantly nodded her head at Ju-hong’s question.
“… That’s right.”
“… Do you really have four wives?”
“…”
In fact, it’s closer to five than four, but explaining it is more complicated.
Eun-hyeon glanced at Belldandy, who was included in the five but she could not.
Belldandy smiled and readily agreed to his idea.
[Okay. Hey I know very well that the child’s thoughts of me do not change.]
‘… Yes.’
When Belldandi’s permission was granted, Eunhyeon sighed and affirmed again.
“… That’s right. Four.”
“… Brother. Is it trash?”
Her younger sister’s gaze and words, which seemed disappointed in a different way, became Eun-hyeon’s dagger and flew into her heart.
That’s natural.
No matter how much this continent is a world where polygamy is taken for granted and there is no problem with having multiple wives if one has the ability, he never thought that the person he knew would be like that.
It was especially hard to accept when I thought that he was Ju-hong, who still had the values of Earth, and that the man was Eun-hyeon.
“Why, why are you saying something to our Hyuni!”
When Eunhyeon flinched and made a painful expression, it was Erin who was furious at the scarlet dagger.
“Ah, that’s all right.”
Seeing Erin’s reaction, Ju-Hong felt that her words were not going to catch on, and turned his head away.
‘It’s serious. Very.’
Now, how much Erin likes Eunhyeon, she clearly grasped from this reaction.
The majestic fighter she showed when she fought her in the first place was nowhere to be seen, and Erin’s loyal dog-like appearance, wagging her tail gently because she wanted to be loved by her owner, was truly spectacle.
She instinctively sensed that even if she said it, it wouldn’t work.
“What the. It’s very popular with women here too. Brother is.”
Erin, who heard the muttering of the scarlet with a small grumble, repeated it with fierce eyes.
“Even here?”
As a result of throwing a colossal bomb, Eun-hyeon is naturally the target of interrogation for that remark.
“Hyunah. What do you mean?”
“… Hong Ah. Don’t misunderstand me.”
“Why? It’s true. When I was in college, women would come to my brother’s house…”
“Stop.”
Eun-hyeon urgently had to cover Ju-hong’s mouth.
But it was already too late.
Erin, who had already heard of it, chewed and repeated her scarlet words, creating her own delusions in her own head.
“I don’t know what a university is, but girls come to your house?”
“… Erin. Must be wrong It wasn’t special or anything like that.”
“Then come home?”
At that time, on Earth, that was the case, and she had to try to persuade her, but Erin would not be convinced.
“Hyunah! This is an important matter! If I don’t explain properly, I’ll tell Illyana-sama everything!”
“Erin… So that’s…”
After that, Eun-hyeon had to work hard to fix the bomb Ju-hong threw.
◆ ◆ ◆
The feeling of crossing between spaces through the gate was very strange.
It was very similar to entering the dungeon from the outside, but I didn’t feel any discomfort threatening my life.
But unlike him, Ju-hong was busy looking around with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
“Here is…”
The place where he brought Ju-hong to Eun-hyeon, saying that he had a place to stop by first, was actually inside the dungeon.
The magic lights installed periodically on each street illuminate the dark interior where not a single light can pass through.
“It is on our way home. First of all, it’s because she’s Hyun’s younger sister. Of course, I should also introduce you to Illyana-sama and Eleanor-sama.”
It was not too difficult to guess that the names of the two people Erin mentioned were Eunhyeon’s wives.
However, what surprised Ju-hong even more than that fact was the facility of this place, which was passed through the gate.
“… Isn’t this a dungeon?”
“That’s right. Dungeon.”
“Is there a house in the dungeon?”
“Ah… That’s true, but it’s different from normal dungeons.”
Erin couldn’t explain what was different.
Erin did not understand even half of how to build a house in this dungeon and create an environment for people to live in.
It was Eunhyeon and Illyana who made this place like this, and of course it was the two of them who came up with the principle and structure.
“…”
Ju-hong carefully observed the facilities in the dungeon, lost in her words.
A facility in a greenhouse reminiscent of a vinyl house, or a huge shrine that is presumed to have something enormous at a glance.
And a detached house boasting a large and high floor count.
Other than that, the various facilities lightly transcend the civilization that Juhong has experienced in the Arcena continent so far.
‘… I think this just brought the civilization of Earth as it is?’
It was natural to feel that way.
Ju-Hong felt as if he was in a large underground bunker on Earth.
“Come on. To my house.”
Arriving in front of the house, Eun-hyeon opened the door and greeted Ju-hong with a smile.
Erin, who had been guided by Eunhyeon and Erin into the house, looked around and observed the inside.
It was really similar to the modern furniture and layout of Earth, to the point where I wondered if everything I had experienced so far was a dream and that I was still on Earth.
“Welcome. Master.”
Lily was the person who came out to the front door and immediately welcomed the return of Eunhyeon and Erin.
“Oh?”
Lily tilted her head as she noticed the stranger the two had brought.
“Sister! They say he’s Hyun-i’s younger brother!”
“Master’s… Brother?”
But to Lily, the explanation was too unnatural.
It was because he couldn’t find anything in common with Eunhyeon.
Unlike Eun-hyun’s white-silver hair, Ju-hong’s hair was crimson, and the animal ears on her head indicated that she was not an ordinary human.
There is a clear difference between the races of humans and beastmen, but can you accept the explanation that they are siblings?
However, because she knew that Eunhyeon and Erin had brought her in person for a reason, Lily did not express any doubts.
“Lily. What about Illyana and Eleanor?”
“The eldest mistress slept with the baby. The Little Madam is on the side of the Holy Kingdom. He will probably be back by evening.”
“… Hmm.”
Eunhyun was lost in thought.
Introducing Ju-Hong to his wives wasn’t too difficult, but the problem was that when he wasn’t there, he was worried that Ju-Hong might make another misleading remark.
‘I should come back in the evening and properly introduce Hongi.’
At least when it came to introducing her, he needed to be present.
“I will go to Pernin for a while. I have an urgent matter to discuss.”
Regarding the royal family of Bartel, who is scheduled to participate in the banquet at the palace, it is something that Queen Yuria should discuss right away.
“Show Hongi a room to stay for today. I will introduce her in the evening.”
“All right.”
Leaving behind Lily, Erin, and Ju-hong who nodded, Eun-hyeon left the house.
“Sister. Miss Illyana. How long have you been sleeping?”
“Huh. You’ll probably wake up soon.”
“There is something I want to discuss with Illyana-sama too.”
“Top? Are you in a hurry? The eldest madam must be very tired because of Ileina right now?”
“It’s very urgent.”
Erin looked around the facility inside the house curiously, glancing at Scarlet, who was distracted as she searched for signs of the earth, she said to Lily.
“Hyeoni… I guess in the old days, women were really twisted.”
To Eun-hyeon, she was sweating and she showed a reaction that seemed to be satisfied with his explanation, but Erin was still not convinced inside.
“… Let’s go to the big mistress for now.”
It was the same with Lily.
