Chapter 390 – Suspicious Demon (3)
Pack your bags
A change of clothes and underwear for about a week.
And blink.
Jump!
He jumped into the carrier as if he understood what I meant before I even held it in my hand.
Then, he crawls between the clothes he had packed in advance and disappears.
Hehe, look at this guy.
“Are you still in puberty?”
Slurp!
The hem of his clothes fluttering as if telling him not to talk to me.
“…”
This isn’t about raising an adolescent daughter.
I think it was exactly like that when Seoyeon was in her second year of middle school.
At the time, it was her first time as a parent, so she worried a lot about what would happen if things turned out crooked like that.
But not now.
“What… , Do whatever you want.”
I know that was a time.
What can I say… , It’s like a symbol of youth that is only possible when you’re young.
Even without anyone talking next to you, you will get better on your own as you become more mentally mature.
“… “I wonder if slimes need something like that too.”
Slurp, flutter!
He said he was like that, so what can I do?
The only way to do this is to wait and pay a reasonable amount of attention without feeling neglected.
“This should be enough.”
Just buy simple things like toiletries locally.
Even if you pack up all that and carry it around, it will only be heavy.
I was about to close the suitcase, which had a lot of free space, and zip it up.
Bang bang bang!
Someone knocks on the door.
“Dojin! “Would you like to open the door for a moment?”
It’s Jeonghee.
When I hear her somewhat urgent voice, I quickly walk over and open her door, and I see her holding something in her arms.
“… “What is all this?”
“Well, it’s a necessity when traveling.”
She squeezes in through the open door and opens the locked carrier bag.
Her mouth drops open when she sees the inside of the bag, which is empty except for her clothes and underwear.
“We’re leaving tomorrow, haven’t you finished packing yet?”
“… “It’s all cheap.”
“This… ?”
Jeonghee looks at me with a puzzled look and then shakes her head.
“Whew… , How are men like this? “If you don’t take care of it, this is what will happen.”
“Hmm.”
Meanwhile, Jeong-hee puts down the items she was holding in her arms one by one.
Ten tube-shaped red pepper paste, toothbrushes and toothpaste used by Jeonghee and Yujeong, sleeping masks, etc…
There is a constant flow of items that are nice to have and not a big problem if you don’t have them.
A tongue that sticks out spontaneously.
“How did you get all that at once…” ?”
Then Jeonghee smiled brightly and answered.
“Is it because not only the face but also the body has become younger… “You’ve been getting stronger and stronger these days, what is it?”
“… Is it?”
I think the amount of stuff is a bit too much for someone so young.
“Anyway! “I brought it with me because I chose things that would remind me of it when I travel abroad, so don’t forget to take them with you.”
“I don’t like having too much baggage…”
When I complained lightly, he lightly bit his lower lip and looked straight at me with a stern expression.
“Are you going to go there and buy it if you need it?”
“…”
“Don’t spend money on unnecessary things, save it.”
“Yes.”
I was wondering if I should do that since the money was good, but I decided to just follow along.
For the first time in a long time, the feeling of someone taking good care of me isn’t that bad.
She asks as she packs all that luggage into her suitcase like playing Tetris.
“You said you were going to China, right?”
“Huh.”
“I heard that the security there is really bad…”
A voice full of worry.
It’s worth it.
China is currently in a state of extremely poor security due to rampant criminals.
They say that police officers run around so hard that their feet get sweaty, but it must be hard.
Because the land mass is so large and the population is so large, it is not easy to check them all individually.
That’s why people who commit crimes and are chased from other countries choose China as their destination.
It is said that it is not difficult to enter the country as long as you give bribes to corrupt officials, commonly known as guanxi.
“You don’t have to worry about me. “There will be no need to go outside of Beijing.”
The location of the secret meeting is Beijing, the capital of China.
As it is the capital of the country, even criminals wandering around cannot easily overcome Beijing.
This is the place where the number of public security guards is the largest, and if you get caught wrongly, you will be arrested without even being able to get away with it.
“Okay, it’s done.”
In the end, Jeong-hee fills the suitcase with the belongings she brought, barely zips it up, and smiles proudly.
“Now what’s next…”
… Is there a next time?
While startled, Jeong-hee creeps up onto the mattress and throws off the coat she was wearing.
Thin pajamas that you might wear to bed.
Beyond that, she subtly reveals her revealing underwear and beckons me.
“What are you doing? “It doesn’t come quickly.”
“… Uh, um.”
“I won’t be able to do it for a week… “You should take everything out in advance♥”
That was indeed true.
* * *
Beijing International Airport.
The world’s largest airport was rebuilt after falling to pieces after being flooded with fissures.
After a two-hour flight, I arrived at the airport and went through a somewhat strict immigration process before heading out. I saw a man holding a picket sign that said ‘Dojin Kim’ in his hand.
A man with blond hair and blue eyes, the universal characteristics that naturally come to mind when thinking of a foreigner.
The eyes, nose, and mouth are all large, giving a cool and cheerful feeling.
However, what you should pay attention to about him was not his appearance.
“… “It’s a bit excessive for a guide or receptionist.”
The concentration of magical power that naturally flows out of the body is quite dense.
That’s at least level A.
Among them, the top ranks are those with great ability.
I can’t believe a guy like that is only a guide.
“Is it a waste of manpower or a show off? .”
When I turned to him with a bitter smile, he recognized my face and spoke first.
“Oh, nice to meet you. “Are you Mr. Kim Do-jin?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Surprising.
“… “You’re very good at Korean, aren’t you?”
Then the man grinned with a big mouth.
“I like Korea. I really enjoy listening to K-POP. “I also watch K-Drama often!”
“Mom…”
I never thought I would feel rich soup in an unexpected place.
As I watched him sing his favorite songs one after another, the man smiled awkwardly and made an expression of regret.
“Oh! I haven’t introduced myself yet, have I? My name is William. William Turner.”
“Nice to meet you, William.”
Well, I remembered.
William, a Korean lover.
He hits the player before he can say another word.
“I think I need to get out of here first…”
“Ah! I’m sorry. “I was so excited.”
“No. “I like it too, K-POP.”
“Oh… ! Is that true? What songs do you enjoy listening to?!”
Uh, um.
“The golden age of girls?”
“… “It’s a song from 20 years ago, right?”
Sorry.
I think it was because I was young at the time.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
With the atmosphere soured, he headed to a suite in a five-star hotel in a car he had rented in advance.
Judging from the slightly messy traces, it doesn’t look like a place where a saint is staying…
“Is this where Mr. William is staying?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I ask him, who answers calmly.
“Then the saint… ?”
“Oh, he’s staying at a different hotel. “I have something to do before I go to see you.”
“Okay.”
I think I roughly know what it is.
She must be referring to the means she said she would prepare for me to cover my face.
“Wait a minute.”
After saying that, William goes into one bedroom and comes out shortly after.
He went in empty-handed and showed up holding a small hand mirror in his hand.
But that hand mirror looks somewhat familiar…
He approaches me and asks me, pointing to the hand mirror in my hand.
“Do you know what this is, Dojin?”
“Uh… “I think I understand.”
When I look closely, one thing comes to mind.
“Gemini’s Mirror.”
“That’s correct.”
Was that exactly what they said they were preparing for?
The Gemini Mirror is an artifact invented by a French wizard.
The ability it has is simple.
If you reflect both people’s faces in the mirror attached to both the front and back sides and turn it on…
Flash-!
With the pouring light, the appearance of the two opponents reflected in the mirror changes.
Like right now.
“…”
No, wait a minute.
The image of a man with cool features reflected in the mirror frowns and scolds him.
“Please tell me when it works.”
Then, William, who was covered in my image on the other side, showed an excessive reaction and apologized.
“I’m sorry. “You were in such a hurry that you couldn’t even tell me in advance.”
I think there would have been enough time to explain if you hadn’t stopped praising K-pop.
Well, that’s it.
“The talks will take place over a total of three days. Until then, Do-jin will live as me, and I will live as Do-jin.”
It’s a good method.
If you look like this, you won’t attract too much attention even if you go with a saint.
By the way.
“You managed to get that mirror.”
The production of the Gemini Mirror is prohibited because it can be easily exploited by criminals.
Thanks to that, when this mirror appeared on the black market, it was sold at a very high price.
I heard that it is a one-time artifact that disappears after using all 3 days of its duration, so it has become almost impossible to obtain it recently.
“I just received it from a saint, so I don’t know how I got it.”
“Okay.”
What… , I think I know roughly.
She is someone that celebrities from all over the world hope to meet at least once.
He must have been among the donations they were pouring in.
“Ruler… , Then it’s time for us to part ways from here.”
William, who said so, hands me a note.
The address is written in Chinese and Korean along with a map of the area.
It seems to be pointing to another hotel not too far from here…
“If you go there, you will be able to meet the saint.”
That’s right.
After putting the note in my pocket, I suddenly had a question and asked him.
“What are you planning to do with me for three days?”
She asked in a slightly suspicious tone, and he responded by waving her hand as if to tell her not to worry.
“Haha… , I will just cosplay as an ordinary tourist. “I won’t do anything that could harm Dojin’s reputation, so you don’t have to worry.”
If that’s the case, I’m glad.
Before leaving, I leave him a final warning.
“If possible, don’t even praise Korea.”
“Oh… “You are trying to take away my greatest joy.”
“Ordinary tourists do not praise Korea.”
“Then you can’t do it.”
I’m glad I heard your words well.
After everything is done, we decide to meet again here and leave the hotel straight away.
There was no need to ask anyone else.
I followed the map, and soon I saw a hotel that was bigger and more luxurious than the hotel before.
This is a place I have been to once.
“… “It’s been a while, here.”
Polaris Hotel.
The most expensive and luxurious hotel in China.
It’s almost 100 million won just to stay in a suite here for one night.
A huge lobby that appears as you enter the hotel.
As I was looking around for a while, a hotelier approached me and spoke to me in a friendly way.
“Hello, Mr. William!”
“… Ah, yes.”
“Thank you for visiting our hotel again this year. “Now, let me show you to your room.”
Judging from the way he spoke leisurely, he seemed to be not just an employee.
We followed him to the 55th floor, the top of the hotel.
He guides us to the door of the suite, which is said to be the most expensive of them all, and bows his head politely.
“You can go inside.”
After saying that in a tone that was quite different from before, he went back the way he came.
As he opens the door as he says and steps inside, a woman who has been staying in the expensive scenery turns her head towards this side.
She is a woman who covers her face with a veil that makes it impossible to see anything beyond.
She approaches me, the hem of her pure white dress fluttering, and speaks to me.
“I finally got to meet you in person.”
A benevolent voice that makes you want to kneel down and confess all your sins just by hearing it.
She places her hand on her chest and lightly bows her head as she continues her words.
“It’s Sophia Saintes.”
The appearance, which can only be described as truly sacred, shook my spirit without mercy.
