Chapter 240 – Chapter 12 – Resolution
After he fell asleep with the help of Yeo So-cheon
Yeo So-cheon put him on the bed and returned to the living room to begin a meeting of measures.
“… Where can I find it?”
“… Are you really looking for it?”
“I have to look for it… If that woman really gets lost like this, it will be a huge disaster.”
“… Disaster?”
“…”
Although he didn’t say it directly, I thought he was probably vaguely feeling it too.
What does it mean for a 1,000-year-old nine-tailed fox to be contaminated by hemp?
If you just die, it would be rather meek, and in reality, there is a higher chance of being reborn as a terrible youkai.
Originally, after completing the long training, the fox was supposed to ascend to heaven and attain the status of a god, but since he was imbued with the devil, his power would be enormous, and there would even be no restrictions on his activities on earth.
It is impossible to even imagine how many casualties will occur if left unattended.
… I really feel sorry for him and that youkai
If he couldn’t fix her until the end, he had one decision to make.
Even if he doesn’t know what she means to him.
“… Phew. For now, I’ll be looking through the records of the heavens. I guess I’ll have to hope that the communal faction… Is still alive and well. It’s very rude to visit a faction that is in mourning, but I can’t just leave it like this.”
“Hmm. I’ll try to go see an acquaintance I used to have. I know it’s rude, but the situation is different, so I’ll do my best to persuade him.”
[Um, hey. Everyone.]
While they were busy moving around, a cautious voice was heard from somewhere.
Yeo So-cheon looks in that direction when she hears a somewhat familiar voice
[I know I really committed a mortal sin, but… Could you please say a few words to the warrior…]
Immediately, a devil-like woman who sprinkled ashes on the rice that had been cooked a while ago appeared without even knowing the subject.
“… Why are you looking like that?”
[Hey, the hero said he didn’t want to see me. He said he would kill me if I talked to him first. Ugh. Ugh.]
Unlike his usual confident appearance, he was now in a state of disrepair, as if he had cried profusely, with tear stains all over his face and his eyes swollen.
[Oh, how did we meet again? I searched through so many galaxies to finally find the hero, but he doesn’t even remember me and everything I say is treated as a lie… I’ve treated him well, but… Ugh…]
Even as I was speaking, tears started flowing again as if I was overcome with emotion.
I thought I might have heard a scolding when I saw his rare and brutal appearance earlier, but he seemed to be quite hurt.
“… But it’s true that this happened because of your mistake. It’s also true that that woman ended up like that because of you. If you kept watching him, you wouldn’t know what that woman means to him.”
[Ah, I know. I know that I have committed a mortal sin and I have no intention of being forgiven easily, but I feel like I failed to do what I should have done. I should have at least told you about the cure, but fortunately, it seems you have already found it.]
“No, wait a minute. That person is sleeping right now, so how is he out there like this?”
When that woman collapsed, there wasn’t even a word.
This is really intentional.
[It’s because what was in the hero’s teacher was a weak channel that was just moved…! If I could have come out, I would have.! Oh, no, I’m sorry. How dare I say something out loud.]
“…”
I really don’t like her, but seeing her weakened like that makes me a little confused.
The reason she kept clinging to him in the first place was extremely impure, and she was a senseless woman who tried to drag others into that hell, but her devotion to him was still remarkable.
To put it nicely, it’s dedication, but it’s a huge level of obsession…
“… What do you mean?”
To be honest, she wanted to just tell him to fuck off, but she felt like it would only get more complicated if this mentally unstable woman did something unexpected again, so she decided to listen first.
If it sounds absurd, just wash your ears and forget about it.
Still, if you think it’s okay, think about it for a while and then let me know.
[Well, I will always be waiting for you, so please call me anytime.]
“… Yes?”
[Yes, the hero treats me like a tool. Because it’s okay to treat her as a woman who is easy to use and only look for when she needs it… I’m okay just knowing that the warrior is by my side… You can find me whenever you feel like you need me… You can call me when you need me… When you’re bored. You can call me… Or you can call me when you’re angry and use me as an emotional trash can… As far as saying, please, die… Oh, no, please leave out the last word.]
“…”
What on earth is that man to this woman?
If a stranger saw this, they would think he was threatening this woman.
In fact, it is this woman who is so obsessed with that man that it is scary.
‘… It seems like something happened in the past.’
What happened between him and this woman was none of her business.
As a result, her world is now in a terrible state
It was the judgment of the person he served that caught him by surprise when he was dragged into such a world without knowing why.
According to him, he claimed that he had already negotiated in advance, but no matter how he thought about it, he judged that the consultation process would not have been fair.
No human being in their right mind would crawl into a world like that.
[So, are you going to tell it to the hero?]
“… Think about it.”
[Kko, I really need to ask you a favor. Without the warrior… I have no reason to live anymore…]
-Snap!
-Surprise!
While she was talking to him, the door to the room he was in suddenly opened and the person he had put to sleep in her earlier appeared.
She was surprised for a moment and looked next to her, and the woman had disappeared a long time ago.
In the end, all that was left was me, shocked, as if something suspicious had been planned.
“Well, that’s it! I wasn’t doing anything strange…”
She hurriedly tried to make an excuse by waving her hands left and right to avoid any strange misunderstandings, but…
“… Let’s go.”
“… Yes?”
“… Let’s go. Demonic Cult.”
“Yesssss?”
Her eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but be surprised by the words that came out of his mouth.
* * *
I had already made a decision.
Although Yeo So-cheon and Geomhu said they would look for a way, I knew that it was unlikely that they would actually be able to find it.
No matter how large the midfield is, wouldn’t it be easy to find someone with that level of magical energy outside the Demonic Cult?
Also, since the midfield is large, there will be at least one person
In other words, we might have to search the entire midfield to find that one person.
Maybe not.
“If we waste time and can’t find the right people, and Master’s condition gets worse, then we can’t do anything else. It’s better to just leave now.”
“Oh, are you okay? When I met the Heavenly Demon before, you didn’t have a hard time.”
“… It’s harder for Master to be in that state than it is for that woman.”
“…”
A serious conversation for the first time in a while.
When Yeo So-cheon saw my expression, she opened her mouth and asked everything.
I don’t even know what my expression is like right now.
I’m not particularly curious.
“… Well, don’t worry too much. Actually, it’s not that bad. At least I’ll be absolutely safe while I’m next to the Heavenly Demon, right? I heard I missed the Vampire Lord as well. I’ll have to catch that one again.”
“Tsk.”
“Unless he suddenly turns around and attacks the Demon Cult, I won’t be in danger. Even if he does, the Heavenly Demon won’t let him do that. He just has a slightly strange personality, but he certainly won’t let his lover be exposed to danger.”〈 Br〉
Cheonma was still a scary person, and the memory of being raped in Cheongi was something I could not easily forget, but there was still a part of me that believed in it.
The Heavenly Demon did not harm me.
Because he was confined, he couldn’t see sunlight and couldn’t move, so his body wasn’t in perfect health, but there were almost no signs of injury.
It’s not completely gone, but it’s just a small scratch.
The fact that my future self didn’t have any scars made me think I would be safe, but this was a bigger reason than that.
‘… It was a little strange in kind, but the affection was real.’
Although it was different from the typical affection we often think of, the feeling was sincere.
Although we should not think that the Heavenly Demon of the future and the Heavenly Demon of the present are the same, isn’t the Heavenly Demon of the future also a product of the imagination of the current Heavenly Demon?
I probably wouldn’t do anything bad first unless I did something particularly strange.
“… Are you saying you want to go right now?”
“… Still, we should at least say hello to everyone. It’s goodbye for the time being.”
“I don’t know how long it will be for a while.”
“Then, since we don’t know when we’ll meet again, shall we have a game?”
“… Yes?”
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be one fight, but you have to deal with three people. I’ve improved my stamina these days, but I feel like I’ll die if I go over 20 times… I guess I’ll be able to hold on if I fight 7 times per person.”
“…”
“Okay, you can do whatever you want. Don’t worry if you lose control and can’t stop. I don’t know when we’ll meet again, so let’s just try our best.”
I grabbed both sleeves of my clothes and spread my arms to both sides.
Since we don’t know when we will meet again, it would be good to provide this level of service.
Because this might be our last meeting.
“Why are you staying still? This is a service that is provided on the last day at best.”
“… That’s it.”
“Yes?”
-Warm
While I was tempting Yeo So-cheon with my arms spread out, Yeo So-cheon hugged me.
Rather than embracing to attack
It was really a healthy hug, like something lovers would do.
“I don’t need that kind of service, so just come back safely.”
“… Then can I distribute your share to the other two people?”
“Ha. What on earth does this person think of us? Do you think we’re meeting to have sex with you?”
… Wasn’t it?
“… Why isn’t there an answer? The expression on your face…”
“Oh, no! That’s not possible! You wouldn’t have met me just by looking at my body!”
“… I won’t deny that the relationship started because of the body, but it’s difficult to think that way until now.”
Yeo So-cheon released her hug, puffed out her cheeks, and pressed my forehead.
“Do I look like the kind of woman who would go to a woman like that and covet her body until the end of her days without knowing when she would return? Anyone would think that was really all I heard in my head.”
“…”
“The other two people probably reacted the same way. No, just don’t say that today is the last day, so let’s do whatever we want. I’m just going to let it go, but that’s quite hurtful for a woman, isn’t it?”
“… Uh…”
“Don’t get me wrong. Even if you look cute and sexy and have a taste for mixing bodies, that’s not all that appeals to you as a human being.”
Words that were uncharacteristic of Yeo So-cheon kept coming out.
It’s so explicit, yet at the same time, you can feel the affection
Words that Yeo So-cheon wouldn’t normally say.
“So, even if you go to Cheonma, don’t be discouraged and work hard. My only attraction is my body anyway, so if Cheonma tries to rape you, don’t give up that you can’t stop her. Instead, make her lose affection for you. Or make her really fall in love with you and take the initiative. In a relationship, the one who falls in love first is the one who loses. You never know, Cheonma will fall in love with you and do everything you ask.”
It was an unrealistic statement, but it was helpful.
… Sincerely.
“… Now if you come to your senses, go explain the situation to the other two, say goodbye, and then come back. I’m sure there will be an uproar with me in about 10 seconds.”
“Why did you push yourself like that?”
“If you don’t do this, you. Ugh.”
Ah. It has begun.
I left behind Yeo So-cheon, who was belatedly starting to feel embarrassed, and headed to Geomhu and Dang A-yeong, who were looking for their own ways.
It was because of my mood that I heard a strange sound, almost like a scream, coming from behind.
