I Returned， but the Reverse World 359

Chapter 359 – 32. The Kingdom of the Twin Gods

Futashima willingly allowed Siwoo and his party to use the warp gate, even though the number of people was limited to four. Thanks to this, they no longer had to bother taking a boat from the Cheonan Empire.

“Hmm. It’s a little disappointing.”

“Yes?”

“I wanted to go on a boat once.”

Saint Elaine’s eyes widened as she listened to the unexpected story.

“You’ve never been on a boat?”

“Uh.”

“But Siwoo’s hometown is a peninsula with sea on three sides…”

“Huh? Did I say that?”

Siwoo was puzzled.

It might not have been known in the early days of Hero Summoning, but now the stories of most levels and countries are known.

Because the number of summoned warriors is not just one or two.

Hundreds of warriors are called to this world every year, boasting diverse origins, but as the number increases, statistics pile up. Surprisingly, most of the heroes came from within 60 different dimensions.

And this means that the story of the warriors who came first has become almost known.

Among them, there are even warriors who write books in the form of essays and sell them.

So fortresses, there were almost no cases of asking warriors about their hometowns.

This is because if the bundle of stories becomes too long, it can only stimulate nostalgia.

Although there were cases where Siwoo was asked where he came from, very few people delved further than that.

“Huh? No, that’s…”

Elaine is embarrassed, and her cheeks blush even at an insignificant question.

She pursed her lips and confessed her facts with a sigh.

“I did some research… About Siwoo’s country…”

“Ah. We also investigated at the training center.”

“Yes…”

“That’s right. But you’re so embarrassed about something like that. I don’t really care.”

“No, but…”

She stopped talking and looked at her surroundings.

Two of the three others waiting together in the VIP room, Baek Hye-yeon and Senjo Maki, noticed.

He seemed worried that he might make the two warriors miss their hometown for no reason.

“Hmm. Now that I think about it, I’ve never talked about my hometown with those two.”

Siwoo slightly turned his body and looked at Hyeyeon and Maki as if it was no big deal.

Hyeyeon, who was looking around the unique room, and Maki, who was nervous and hesitant, both made eye contact with Siwoo. Of the two, it was Baek Hye-yeon who opened her mouth first.

“Your brother also came from Korea.”

“That’s right.”

“But I don’t have any memories worth mentioning…”

Hyeyeon has only wielded a sword at home since she was young.

No matter what others thought, she liked swords.

Thanks to that, I don’t have many memories from Earth.

“Me too. Honestly, I don’t remember anything.”

He laughed bitterly.

Unlike others, he has more than 10 years of memories from the first episode.

I barely remember the early days of the summons, so how can I miss what happened on Earth?

“What about you, Maki?”

“Uh, uh, Hyeyeon. Are you talking about me? I…”

Maki Senjo slowly unravels the past while stuttering.

As he told the story, his expression seemed to gradually become more diverse, perhaps as he relaxed little by little.

“Ah. Something like this happened. Another time…”

She speaks excitedly with her lively face.

Although Maki Senjo wasn’t the best at talking, she had quite a few funny episodes even in her early 20s. It didn’t matter whether it was her own story or someone else’s story. Plus her subtly realistic acting skills.

Thanks to this, everyone had a great time listening.

It was good to put her in the VIP room and kill time in the current situation where there was no news for nearly 30 minutes.

“So I… Ugh!”

Maki Senjo suddenly interrupted her and panicked.

“Huh? Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

“No, I’m sorry. I think I talked too much…”

“What? Haha.”

“I was enjoying listening to it. What are you talking about?”

“W-Is that right? … Hehe.”

It’s already been half an hour since she arrived at Futashima via the warp gate.

It’s been quite some time since I left the VIP room, but still no one has come.

Thanks to this, the memories of the three warriors became longer, and I learned some interesting facts.

“Wow, that’s a possibility… A parallel world. That’s almost like an edge.”

“Me too. It’s strange that Korea is a divided country.”

“Something amazing!”

Han Si-woo and Baek Hye-yeon have always thought that they came from the same world.

However, as we talked, I continued to feel a sense of difference in small details.

In the end, after digging deeper, I found out that although it was the same Korea, it was not Korea.

On the other hand, although Maki Senjo was from a different country, she was from the same dimension.

“Wow, that’s interesting. I never thought there would be such a difference.”

“Really. We should have talked about it a long time ago.”

“That’s right. I think it would be good to do it again next time.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

The conversation was fun, but it soon came to an end.

The reason was outside.

“Excuse me. I’m sorry I’m late, everyone.”

The three people appeared when the door opened.

The woman who apologized in front gave the impression that she was a maid from the way she was dressed.

Simple patterns on neat but not luxurious clothing.

In comparison, the two women who came in behind her maid were different.

They glanced at each other, and then the tall female warrior with two horns on her head greeted them first.

“Nice to meet you, Hero Hanshiu. I am Tsubaki of the Onihime clan.”

“The girl is Suzume of the Tsukitsune family. This is my first time meeting you, so please be kind to her.”

Next, a short girl with fox ears on her head greets you as if she’s rushing in.

At the two’s greetings, not only Siwoo but everyone else’s eyes widened.

No, the only person who was surprised as soon as the door opened was Senjo Maki’s colleague Hikari.

‘It’s the appearance of big names from the beginning.’

Futashima is a very closed country, and although outsiders are brought in, it is very rare for them to go out. It’s so bad that if you work at the border, everyone who leaves and returns will know.

Still, the basic information is of course known.

Futashima is a country ruled by two shoguns rather than a king.

And the Onihime clan and Tsukitsune clan are twin islands from which the name Futashima is derived.

It was a great family that ruled each place one by one.

Also known as the Yeongju family.

In other words, the two could be said to be a kind of royal family.

At the same time, he also plays the role of a priest who serves the twin gods that Futashima worships.

Thanks to this, the status of the two lordly families is absolute, at least within Futashima.

But there was one more reason why Siwoo and the girls were surprised.

“I can’t believe the two heads of the family came here. I was very surprised.”

Onihime Tsubaki and Tsukitsune Suzume were the heads of their respective feudal lord families.

In short, it meant that they were at the top of Futashima’s power.

Never would I have thought that I would meet someone who would cause a major incident that would change the country and someone who would die as a result of that incident. Although they came to stop this incident, I was embarrassed that they came together even though they were not invited.

“I just came here because I had some business to do. To be honest, I was curious.”

“Oh my. As far as the girl knows, even if it wasn’t Ms. Tsubaki that did it…”

“Ha. So, do you have any complaints?”

“It can’t be possible. The girl is just…”

“Tsk. I’m sorry for being annoying, but unlike you, I’m not the type to scheme behind your back.”

I flinch.

Suzume, who was smiling softly, slightly opened her eyes and glared at Tsubaki with a harsh gaze.

Tsubaki also confronted her with her sharp eyes along with her snort.

As expected, Siwoo thought, the two owners of the twin islands were not getting along well.

Maybe the reason it took over 30 minutes was because they were fighting over who would be in the two lines and who would come to the VIP room. In the end, they couldn’t reach an agreement and came together. This seemed more plausible than a pointless fight.

“Tsk. That’s enough.”

The first to raise the white flag was Onihime Tsubaki.

“What are you doing in front of guests, Won?”

“Oh my. Oh, my. This was so rude, saint.”

“No, we are just visitors.”

“Is that possible? He is the famous saint of the main religion.”

Suzume Tsukitsune’s expression when glaring at Tsubaki is nowhere to be seen, and instead she treats Shiu with a gentle tone and face.

Tsubaki, probably disgusted by the sight, pretended to vomit behind her, then stepped forward and got between them.

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll start with the main point.”

“If we get to the point…”

“Even if you volunteer to be a mere visitor, you are clearly an S-class warrior and saint. We cannot treat you carelessly. However, this country is made up of two islands from the beginning.”

“Yes, please. So, she discussed it with her girl. The Saint said that her stay would be for 15 days. Let’s split it in half and treat her in half.”

“Unfortunately, Hero Han Si-woo, since you came to Fox Island, you will have to stay on this island and its attached islands for the next week. We decided on our own, but how can that be okay?”

For a moment, a strange look appeared in Siwoo’s eyes.

It was what I hoped for.

He also planned to stay on Fox Island and then head to Oni Island next door.

Although the period is a bit disappointing, there is no reason to refuse the help of two people.

“Good. Thank you, you two.”

“Hmph. Have fun on Fox Island. Our Oni Island will be very different.”

After saying those meaningful words, Tsubaki left.

Suzume, who remained in her seat, glanced at the door she left behind and then turned her head.

“Oh, sorry. I’m sorry. Unfortunately, we don’t get along very well…”

“No, I understand. That’s what emotions are like.”

“Thank you, saint. Then, I will guide you… Hmmm.”

As she continued talking and smiling, her eyes stopped on one person.

It was Hikari.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Suzume.”

“… Yes, Miss Hikari. It’s been a while.”

Unexpectedly, the two seemed to be spherical.

Just looking at Suzume’s expression, it seems like it wasn’t a willing relationship.

That was very interesting, so Siwoo looked at the two in turn.

But before he could find anything, Suzume struck the player.

“Now that I think about it, the number of people is strange. What happened, saint?”

It was Hikari, not Shiu, who answered her words.

“I have no relationship with Siwoo and his group.”

“Yes? What is that…”

“I was just lucky enough to get a warp gate and ride it. I just returned as the successor to the Takahashi family, not as a member of the former warrior Han Si-woo.”

“…”

Of course, Suzume frowned.

It’s unreasonable. How can you believe that we are not part of the same group after coming here together?

However, funny enough, there was a lack of information on Suzume’s side.

She didn’t know that Hikari was a member of Maki Senjo’s party.

So she decided to just let this go with a sigh.

“I understand. But since you said you are not part of the group, you cannot accompany us.”

“Of course. Excuse me, but I have to go back to my family…”

Despite the not-so-good mood, Hikari smiled lightly and walked past Suzume and headed out her door.

Don’t forget to wink at Maki before leaving.

“Whew. … This was really rude. Now then, I’ll take you to my family.”
