Chapter 920 – Poor Hunter, Night (2)
Alpha and Beta.
Who would have ever thought that I would end up in a relationship like this with twins I couldn’t even remember meeting back when I was still at the academy?
It’s not uncomfortable, but rather exciting.
It was a time when I knew nothing, but now I have power and an abundance of information.
The name is night. It is chestnut because it is a beech tree. It’s also surprising that it has a connection with my daughter, Shiba Inu. Furthermore, it is one of the world’s most watchful trees and must be watched.
‘It’s been quite a while since I’ve known you. ‘There wasn’t enough time.’
Maybe this will be the last local war.
If you are in a hurry, of course there are world trees and flowers. It’s not normal to attract noble people when you’re not using subjugation, so I planned to take my time and persuade them slowly.
It will probably take some time to listen to the will given by the World Tree of Prosperity.
‘I came here after waiting all day.’
I looked down at Bam’s unconscious body with my arms crossed.
“Keuung, keuung…” …”
A sick guy wearing only a dusty, dirty t-shirt.
As soon as our eyes met as I lowered my head down the semi-basement window, I screamed as if I had seen a ghost and fainted.
‘It’s only because the liver is so small.’
Is there anyone in the world who faints just because they make eye contact?
Rumors about me have spread so viciously that people who pass by on the way often faint.
【It’s because you look so scary!】
‘Jammin, sleep.’
【You can’t refute it, right? My younger sister Hervasia also approved it, right?】
People may have a harsh impression, so what’s wrong?
And Hervasia likes me?
【Think so, then.】
Since I can’t find anything else to refute, I grit my teeth and act cool.
The guy decided to give me a few slaps on the buttocks later… I decided to take a quick look around the room until the kid woke up.
‘I live a pretty neat life.’
If we were to ask whether it was minimalism or forced minimalism, it would fall into the latter category.
Considering that there are many unemployed people who live in squalor, it seems like they have at least the ability to make a living.
-Jeobbuk.
There were various debt reminders and bills piled up on the desk.
The black plastic bag, which I presumed to have brought home from work today, contained half a row of half-eaten gimbap and a bunch of pickled radishes.
-Rattle.
The cupboard was empty. A box of cooking oil for Lunar New Year gifts, believed to have been purchased at a low second-hand price, was displayed next to the sink.
When it comes to seasoning, it’s all about seasoning salt and Miwon. Bam’s ambition to provide maximum taste at minimum cost was visible.
Inside the refrigerator… What could there be?
Judging from the fact that the lids of all the full water bottles had been opened, it seemed like they had received water from a mineral spring or tap. A few bitter but ugly vegetables. Just looking at it, there were small side dishes left in each container that had been obtained from other places.
There were many other things, but they were all full of salty things.
A 125ml pack of milk that has passed its expiration date. There were no eggs anywhere in the egg compartment, and only a few samples of refrigerated cosmetics were visible.
‘I was thinking about eating ramen. There’s no ramen either.’
How much longer do we have to tighten our belts to live like this?
Although the economy was difficult and prices were rising, this was a world where it was unthinkable for a hunter to starve.
Thanks to Su-yeon and Byeol’s efforts, Korea is a country that has succeeded in protecting its prices, and jobs are plentiful compared to other countries. This kind of life is just absurd in my eyes.
-Rattle.
There is no way there is anything with the clothes.
There was no wardrobe to begin with, so all I had were a few t-shirts and work clothes folded neatly in a suitable drawer.
What is the maker? The most expensive clothes were the academy uniforms. No matter how many times she had worn it, the El Academy school uniform, made of good material and strong, was worn out, and she was gasping for help.
Can’t you picture it just by looking at it?
Whenever I have to dress up and go out, I don’t even bother to wear my school uniform coat and just choose the shirt underneath.
‘I really don’t cry often.’
When I came back and saw the face of the night, I felt uneasy even though it was the guy who dared to cut off my head.
On the first day, I planned to just see what kind of guy he was. It feels like I already know enough.
“… Sigh.”
As if lying in an upright position was uncomfortable, Bam turned over, folded his face on the pillow, and groaned for a long time.
Being so small must have put a lot of strain on my body.
Immediately after passing out, I turned off the lights and sat down on the floor to wait for the night to fall into a deep sleep.
-Tick.
One hour, two hours. Five hours…
As I waited for the sound of stomach pain as an alarm, the night finally responded.
“Sssss though… Collock. “I’m thirsty.”
“Are you thirsty?”
“Yes, captain. I’m a little thirsty… Huh?”
Because you’re the class president. It’s a title that sticks in one’s mouth.
When Bam saw me, he got up with a pale face and clung to the wall.
“Hehe… ! Ears, ghosts!!!!”
“What do you mean?”
“I-I-I’m holding a grudge now, but I don’t have anything…” … There’s nothing to take away! I, I… If I don’t have it, my sister will die, and I won’t be able to go to hell like this. It’s real! I’m really sorry about what happened back then. I did it because I didn’t know…”
Even if he gets something wrong, he’s definitely wrong.
After thinking about the gibberish words of the night, I realized that this guy is the King of Mokryeong. He seemed to have no idea that he had come looking for him.
So, they still know me as Lee Si-heon from my Academy days…
“Do you know that I’m sorry?”
“Yes, yes… Yes! Please don’t take me away. “I’m sorry.”
“What should I do?”
-Hodaldaldaldaldaldal.
The night in my memories had a strong feeling of being an expressionless, emotionless doll.
Looking at it now, I look like a timid squirrel.
When I raised my hand to scratch my head, staring into the night crying with my sore legs and arms limping, a hiccupping sound rang out from in front of me.
“…”
“… ?”
I feel a bit playful.
He raised both his hands, his face turned grim, and shouted at the night in the most bizarre voice possible.
“Disappointing!!!!!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!!!!!”
The squirrel girl collapses after screaming.
Knock. Knock. When I saw the chestnuts stretched out on the bed, I scratched the back of my neck.
【… Fool.】
* * * * * *
The dead are back!
I spent a hectic night repeatedly fainting and waking up due to Lee Si-heon’s ironic pranks, and it was only when the morning sun rose that I was finally able to hear his story.
“… A king?”
“Uh.”
King Mokyeong. Truly the worst criminal of modern times.
“What do you think?”
“What do you think…” … It’s not something to be proud of. It’s the worst. “I heard King Mokryeong is a very bad person.”
“We need to talk about that situation as well.”
Even though I had vague knowledge of Gwimok from people in the world, the image of King Mokgyeong that Bam had was the worst of the worst.
It was just that I was so shocked by the fact that that person was Lee Si-heon that I was able to maintain my sanity by dispersing the shock. The circumstances I heard as a result were not something I could sympathize with.
However, even with a stiff chestnut head, he could clearly see why each faction wanted him so much.
“All the rumors… “It’s the result of a power struggle between the World Tree and Flower, and they came to find me, the master of prophecy, and take me to the kingdom?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“It’s true that the rumors are lies… ?”
“It’s partly true.”
“… “It’s still trashed.”
“That’s right. “I didn’t become like this to become a saint or a good person.”
How much purpose is there in pleasure crimes?
Bam looked at Lee Si-heon warily, trying to contain the thoughts of the harsh speaker he had been killing.
“… “What’s the reason?”
“To live.”
“Yes?”
“They said they even heard that I became a heretic and died. Long before you aimed for my head, the World Tree showed similar movements. “The only power I have is from that branch, so it happened like this.”
I say this very honestly…
Well, it’s a night when I think I haven’t lived a very good life.
Even if I don’t agree that it can happen. There’s nothing you can’t do until you understand that you lived that way.
Above all, she felt a little uncomfortable about criticizing the words of the man she had harmed.
-Sigh.
However, if King Mokryeong’s rumors were true, he needed to be careful about his appearance.
I pulled the worn blanket from the bed and let the night cover my chest. Siheon, whose face said look at this, let out a laugh.
“I have no thoughts yet.”
“… Yet? “Please leave my house.”
“It’s not even your house.”
Even if you refuse, you have no choice.
Lee Si-heon is the one who needs the noble tree, and the World Tree is the one who wants to prevent the noble tree from falling into Lee Si-heon’s hands.
If you persist like this, eventually your appearance will be threatened.
“Either you sacrifice yourself to the World Tree, where you might die, or you come here. “It’s one of the two.”
“… Either that or that. In the end, nothing has changed about picking on a strict person and hitting him with his dick.”
“I got hit too. That’s how this world is originally. Of course, you did something similar to me, right?”
“…”
KakaoTalk is truly an all-rounder.
Bam, who was not happy with the situation, frowned slightly.
“Yes, I am guilty of that… But I speak properly. “Isn’t it accurate to sacrifice one’s body to the World Tree, where one might die, or to be sold to the King of Mokryeong, one who might be treated as a sex slave?”
“It’s a stereotype.”
“What a stereotype.”
“Is there anyone who cares about women as much as I do?”
“That’s something I can’t confirm. To begin with, I don’t have a very good opinion of your personality right now. Above all, the World Tree made up and spread rumors about you. “There’s no guarantee you won’t do the same, right?”
Are you smart?
But the choice will definitely come. Completely unrelated to Lee Si-heon’s recommendations or Bam’s opinions. It will be truly miserable.
“I know your situation well. Because I did that. No? In fact, I did more. Because Flower, the World Tree, and you all tried to kill me instead of trying to capture me. I know it’s hard to believe, and I’m sure everyone is suspicious. In the end, if you don’t have the confidence to fight and win, it would be better to come over.”
“… Thanks for the advice. But I think this is something to think about.”
I understand. Lee Si-heon knew that despair all too well.
Unlike you, you will be even more confused because you have no place to share your concerns or seek advice.
But on the other hand, the fact that I could escape from crushing poverty and save my sister would be a little bit of comfort.
“…”
… Isn’t it?
Bam sighed heavily and put his hands together and asked politely.
“Please go back now…” .”
It is said that Lee Si-heon is guilty, but what does it mean to believe in a man named King Mokryeong and go down there?
What was more problematic was that he was guilty of abusive language, because no one knew what kind of feelings that man was harboring inside.
It looks favorable now…
Night wasn’t smart enough to immediately tell what a rotten copper cord was.
She was a poor girl who worked as a housekeeper, her body was sick, and her thoughts were short-lived.
Still, she is much more humane and friendly than the World Tree. It was a night when I thought that if I asked, he might return today.
“No? “I’m not going.”
“… “Yes?”
However, the answer that came back was clear.
“If I can’t take you, my wives will beat me to death. “I plan to stay with you until I convince you, until you trust me?”
“… What is that? Yes? “Yes?”
The night reminded me of an old man from a union who was blocking public transportation not long ago.
“No, no, no. No. No…”
“Please take care of me.”
This person explains and explains the topic so well, but his methods are filthy!
Night’s crumpled face grew hopelessly cold.
