Chapter 152 – The Black Goat (4)
I told everyone the plan.
Since the demons attack tonight, I will protect the shrine, repair the next day, and attack the dungeon on Wednesday.
“Then what is the mission?”
Siyeon Kim asked. I grinned and took the corpse out of the subspace bracelet. Only the head of an eel with a head size of more than 1 m was exposed.
It is called an electric eel, and it is a tricky monster because it has strong resistance to water attributes and lightning attributes, and handles lightning attributes.
The electric eel is a monster that contributes greatly to destroying the ecosystem by emitting electricity in all directions when it is stressed or encounters a natural enemy, so the sooner the subjugation request, the better.
On top of that, I had electricity immunity, so it was much easier to catch.
“Then what about the rest of the days?”
“I’m going to go sightseeing.”
Of course, if you have time to go sightseeing.
Yoon Chae-rin looked at me with a suspicious expression. Taking advantage of that gap, she moved Yoon Seung-ha’s fork, and she dipped the fork into Yoon Chae-rin’s glutinous rice cake, then put it in her mouth and mumbled it.
“Hey! Like the sky… Stealing and eating the dessert that my sister is leaving for the last time!”
When Yoon Chae-rin shouted at her, Im Na-yeon opened her mouth.
“Then why don’t you go straight to the shrine instead of going to the hotel?”
“Uh? It’s good if you can get in first before the demons attack. But it’s off limits to the public.”
Only selected officials are allowed to enter. Externally, it is a place where the goat of indolence is sealed, so even a student of Hero Academy cannot enter for sightseeing. Not even famous politicians or entrepreneurs can go.
So, it was also selected as the number one place that Japanese people or people with a lot of interest in Japan want to visit before they die.
“It’s okay. My father invested quite a bit in it, so I’m fine.”
Lim Na-yeon smiled and said.
***
The gentleman saw a giant in a black suit at the entrance. It was still only the entrance, but a hero with a lower rank was guarding the door.
“Kochira?係者外出入禁止です.”
Japanese came out.
When I looked it up with 「Knowledge Reading」, It roughly meant that no one except those involved was prohibited from entering.
“What do you want to do?”
“There must be a guest book for Im Na-yeon. Say my name.”
“Oh, are you Korean?”
Geohan spoke a little awkward Korean.
“Yeah. I heard that Im Na-yeon’s name could pass, but is that possible?”
Lim Na-yeon’s words, Geohan touched her tablet a few times, and she hurriedly greeted her at 90 degrees.
“It was Lim Na-yeon! Sorry for not recognizing you right away. We will take action to allow you to enter.”
The giant spoke urgently and spoke somewhere over the radio. Then a woman in a shrine maiden’s uniform came out of an old Japanese-style building nearby and lowered her head and said,
“I will guide you.”
She was guided by a shrine maiden and we went inside.
“There are a total of 108 steps leading up to the shrine. 108 Defilements are human emotions…”
The shaman introduced the shrine in Korean. I listened through one ear and looked around. When I looked at it with “Eyes looking down at the sky,” The scene of this shrine was quite unusual.
Black chains were visible here and there.
And at the end of the ㅠ-shaped door at the end of the stairs, a chain was wrapped around it. It was the Bong-gwan’s ability that the Bong-gwan shaman possessed.
Bong-gwan.
It is an ability that specializes in sealing something.
Bong-gwan shrine maidens representing Japan are classified at the top of the ranks in terms of rank, but they devote most of their abilities to that Bong-gwan’s ability, so their combat power is very weak compared to the level.
To some extent, if I were to fight me and Yoon Chae-rin in close combat, the chances of me and Yoon Chae-rin winning were greater.
However, with the help of someone, Bong-gwan Shaman can seal even beings with the highest hierarchy. Although it won’t work for Kim Eun-jung, who has the power of lightning of destruction.
“Im here.”
The priestess lowered her head and said.
We passed through a ㅠ-shaped door chained together and went inside. A space of about 200 pyeong was revealed. Inside, buildings made in the old Japanese style were lined up, and it was full of people wearing shaman’s costumes and traditional Japanese old costumes as if they would match their attire.
“That building is an exclusive accommodation for distinguished guests visiting here. And over there is a shrine dedicated to the gods, and over there…”
Following her guide, we started sightseeing. In fact, there was not much to enjoy even if it was sightseeing. Because in the first place, the shrine was built here for sure safety and sealing on top of the seal.
“And that’s where the Demon King was sealed.”
The shrine maiden pointed to one place. When I looked at her with “Eyes looking down at the sky,” She was wrapped around thick black chains the size of my forearm. All kinds of amulets and crosses were attached to each chain.
The amulets and crosses alike possessed subtlety.
“Excuse me, but the distinguished guests must watch from here. If you go further, there are all kinds of devices.”
The priestess muffled her words.
Our party saw it from afar. It is seen and felt thanks to the eyes and senses. There were all kinds of barriers and physical devices.
It was indeed a seal of great evil, and it was on the alert.
‘It’s a trap that the gigantic evil isn’t sealed.’
I inspected the seal using my “Eyes looking down at the sky” And “Incomprehensible senses”. But I couldn’t get a glimpse inside. It was because my proficiency was still immature, and the power of the Bonggwan Shaman’s Bonggwan was strong.
“… You see, the distinguished guests have come to a shabby place.”
It was a reproachful speech.
When she turned her head, there was a woman dressed as a shaman. She cut her bangs in a straight line and looked like a shaman with a white top and red bottoms.
Next to him was a woman who looked sullen.
She had big breasts that couldn’t be hidden even though the form of the shrine maiden’s uniform was quite large. Her bangs look shaggy and roughly cropped. It’s a dress that looks far away from here. A clumsy, untidy shaman’s outfit. She’s got a lot of intrusive-looking eyes. The dark circles below it. When he looked at me, his eyes widened slightly.
When those two women appeared, everyone in the room bowed their heads to greet them. Yoon Chae-rin, Yoon Seung-ha, and Lim Na-yeon, as well as Kim Si-yeon, who was swept away by the atmosphere and said hello.
And I also bowed my head.
Not to a neat-looking shrine maiden, but to a gloomy-looking woman.
***
“You’re going to hit the seal with just these?”
Hong Yu-hwa looked down at her boredly. There were sloth believers there. Demons who gained strength by following the lazy goat. More precisely, they were the demons who became stronger after eating the fragments of power shed by sloth.
Hong Yoo-hwa thought of Lee Si-woo.
To be honest, with the exception of one guy, I think Siwoo Lee alone could beat them. But that one guy was very strong. It was enough to boast that he could kill the shaman of Bong-gwan.
Apostle.
He was a being who called himself the apostle of the goat. Indeed. Enough to be called an apostle, the power of indolence overflowed around him. For ordinary people, just being exposed to that energy would make a person who is evaluated as sincere become indolent and die of starvation.
Hong Yu-hwa smirked and laughed.
“Know? Do we have nothing to do with this work?”
[Of course. We don’t want your involvement either. If you intervene, the hypocrite and prostitute will intervene.]
Languid voice. But the voice was full of confidence.
[Soon, the goat will be resurrected.]
“You know the oath, right?”
[Of course. However, if the goat recovers its strength, hypocrites and prostitutes will not be a problem.]
Hong Yu-hwa growled.
The frog in the well is full of confidence because it does not know the outside of the well.
Mountain goats are strong. And heterogeneous
However, its power is not absolute. The fact that he was sealed by the priestess of the Bonggwan is proof of that. Even though he couldn’t use his prime power after being attacked by the Demon King, the power of the Fairy Queen and the Void King should be able to kill at least one goat.
“Yes? Then only the opener will go.”
[You can look around and go. There will be no problem even if we watch our mountain goat sink Japan in the special seat.]
***
The meeting with Bong-gwan’s shaman was very impressive.
“I-I’m a fan!”
Because that was what she said when we first met. It was also in Korean. It’s a bit awkward, but Korean is a unique Japanese way of speaking.
I sighed deeply and drank the green tea. The twinkling eyes were pierced. And uncomfortable eyes.
Glance.
The shaman of Bong-gwan glancing at me is looking at me with the eyes of a fan who has met an idol. And next to it, a well-groomed priestess looking at me with a disapproving expression is looking at me with uncomfortable eyes.
“Oh, no, that’s right. Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t even told you my name yet. Well, my name is Sanae Higami. You can call me Sanae.”
“Yes. I know. Mr. Sanae.”
“Oh, you know me? Uh, how…”
He muttered, looking at her with twinkling eyes.
“Bong-gwan priestess. Sanae-sama, who sealed the demon king, is very famous. Personally, I am a fan.”
“L, fan… ! Me too, I’m a fan of Si, Siwoo! Oh, that, and me, you don’t have to call me Sanae-sama, boo, or uncomfortable. Please, feel free to call me Sanae-san.”
I recalled Sanae’s age on the profile.
She is 39 years old. It was a very awkward age to be called a sheep. But I said it with a smile.
“Miss Sanae. Can I call you like this?”
“Yes! Go, thank you!”
What the hell are you thankful for?
“You can also call me comfortably.”
“I, I, uh, how do you spread poetry, Siwoo, comfortably… I-I can’t… !”
Sanae said almost crying. Then the shaman next to her coughed.
“Higami-sama. Please keep your body tight.”
“Ha, but my best friend Si Woo is right in front of me!”
Instead of saying anything, I raised my teacup and took a sip of green tea.
“My introduction is late. My name is Aki Haruhi. In Korea, it is normal to say your first name when sharing your last name, but in Japan, calling someone by their first name is between family members, lovers, and friends.
Haruhi Aki said quietly. I nodded quietly.
