Chapter 1039 – 1039. Yggdrasil (7)
Einstein said:
〈 1 hour of effort to get a beautiful woman feels like 1 second, but if you step on the stove for 1 second, it feels like 1 hour. 〉
And Midreum, who had never heard of that, was now experiencing that phenomenon.
“Uh… ?”
“Eh… ?”
A fateful meeting with a male elf who uses the toilet distorts the time of midsummer and makes each second feel like an hour.
And the elf facing him was the same.
A man’s face suddenly pops out while going to the bathroom.
As soon as I saw that face, it was as if time in the world stopped.
And the two people who experienced one second that felt like an hour…
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
“Aaaaah!!!”
They began to present a screaming show of excitement.
And there were other beings who screamed just like them.
└Kyaaaaa! My eyes!!!
└C#(*&^(%$^&
Chats filled with screams started pouring in on the channel as well.
The male elf stood up as if he had fallen, and Midreum instantly dived to the bathroom floor.
As soon as Midreum entered the floor, a shout came from above.
(Ghost!! No… It’s an intruder!!! There’s an intruder in the bathroom here!!)
Midreum was frightened by the shout that came through the vibrations and quickly moved to another location.
‘Let’s run away first!’
And when the distance widened to a certain extent, he let out a harsh breath and swore.
‘What the fuck is this!!!’
Originally, it was normal for [Her Ghost Time] To be canceled the moment she dived, naturally settling into her body.
However, at the diving site, there was a male elf with an unfamiliar face, not his body.
‘Are you confused about the place?’
I thought maybe I was in such a hurry that I got confused about the location.
Midsummer slowly looked around, scanning the walls, ceiling, and floor.
It was midsummer when I checked the surroundings…
‘That’s right!!! It’s that bathroom from earlier!!!’
She was certain that the place where she had encountered the male elf earlier was the place where she had left her body.
And there were beings as absurd as midsummer.
└I’m buying snow because I didn’t see the scene before!
└What we expected from Midsummer: Winter’s rape scene, what Midsummer showed us: Male elf toileting.
└It’s midsummer, and it looks like this bastard is taking revenge on us.
└Wow… I never thought they would feed me like this.
There are beings who make such a fuss and express their midsummer hatred…
└Isn’t that the same place as before?
└Probably right? Looking at the video, I can’t be sure…
└Then where does Summer’s body go?
└Moll? Ru.
There were also beings who calmly discussed this situation.
And at the end of that discussion, there are two conclusions.
The first is an illusion.
└Did you mistake the location?
It was a ridiculous thing, but if Han Yeo-reo was truly mistaken because she was out of her mind, she could laugh it off.
The problem is the second conclusion.
└Or… Was he caught by an elf and taken away?
The conclusion was that the elves found her body while she was asleep in the bathroom and took it away.
‘Oh, no! If she really got caught… It’s over!!!’
Unlike the first conclusion, which can be overlooked with a smile, the second conclusion was truly a disaster.
‘We need to understand the situation first!’
The time limit set by Seong Su-ho is 1 hour.
Only 5 minutes have passed.
Time itself was not a problem. The problem is that the body has disappeared.
‘I understand the situation by listening to what the surrounding elves are saying…’
At that moment, the voices of the elves around Midsummer were heard.
(The place where the commotion occurred was the men’s restroom?)
(Yes, that’s right.)
The elf’s voice…
‘Ermina?
It was Chamberlain Ermina.
At this location, where midsummer happened to be, Ermina was having a conversation with another elf.
Ermina and the elves she was dealing with were men, armed with ornate silver armor like royal guards.
However, the elf wearing the silver armor was not a member of the royal guard or the central castle.
As soon as…
(Commander in Chief, please explain in detail.)
The name of the person reporting to Ermina is Commander-in-Chief Talindra Wintira.
She was currently in charge of the army of Arbos.
Although he is not a member of the Central Castle, he has been working there for some time to hunt down ghosts.
Talindra looked at Ermina, straightening her posture and nodding her head.
(Okay. So…)
The Commander-in-Chief began to report the situation to Ermina in a polite manner.
‘I knew the Chamberlain was great, but… I never thought it would be like this.’
The commander-in-chief of Arbos is someone who holds full authority over the army.
That also meant that he was a being who had temporarily taken over Stella’s power.
However…
(After discovering it earlier… And now…)
Even the commander-in-chief was treating the chamberlain with deference, as if he were a superior.
Han Yeoreum, who witnessed this scene, was able to realize that the nature of the power of the commander-in-chief and the power of the chamberlain were completely different.
‘It’s like borrowing one side and keeping the other side as your own.’
While the Commander-in-Chief was granted Stella’s power for a short period of time, Ermina was no different from Stella.
Transfer and ownership.
That was the difference between the commander-in-chief and the chamberlain.
The midsummer that I admired blankly…
‘Ah! ‘Fuck, now is not the time to think about other things!’
I came to my senses again and overheard the conversation between the two elves.
Fortunately, I was able to hear the entire conversation between the two elves without missing it.
After hearing the conversation between the two elves, Midsummer let out a sigh of relief that seemed to have lasted a long time.
‘Phew… First, my body is not at stake.’
And what’s even more fortunate is…
(It is said that they couldn’t see it clearly because it suddenly popped out and then disappeared.)
It was that he did not see Midsummer’s face in the shape of a blurry ghost that appeared in broad daylight.
If she had been an elf working at the central castle, she might have known Midsummer’s identity.
But fortunately, the elf in the bathroom was a soldier sent to search for ghosts.
After receiving all her reports, Ermina sighed.
(Sigh…)
(…)
And the Commander-in-Chief who was making that report noticed Ermina’s feelings.
After sighing, Ermina adjusted her expression and opened her mouth.
(First, I understand. Continue the search. And tell everything to the soldiers deployed this time. If there is someone who contributed to finding and catching the ghost…)
Ermina slightly blurted out her words, then stiffened her expression and finished with a heavy voice.
(I will praise your contribution on behalf of Her Highness.)
(Huh!? Ah, I understand!)
Ermina’s declaration that makes even the general commander of the war a flagship.
And the midsummer that heard that declaration…
‘Seed… Fuck… !’
Her face turned an earthy color.
In other words, it was no different from Stella handing out the award herself.
And the soldiers who heard the story…
‘I’m going to look for it like crazy! We have to find the body quickly before we get caught!!!’
In order to receive Stella’s prize, he will risk not only his life but also his family name to search for Stella’s ghost.
When I first heard about Seong Su-ho’s bet, I thought it was all over.
Difficulty level of eating raw and rewards comparable to lottery.
But the sky began to interfere, as if jealous of his luck.
The body that had to be returned disappeared, and furthermore, elements that hindered the search for the body were added.
The one-hour time limit was ample until now.
It’s definitely the same hour…
‘We have to find it quickly!!!’
Now it has turned into a desperate time that feels like one second to Midsummer.
.
.
Midsummer looked down into the bathroom and screamed.
“Where is it, baaaaa!!”
Originally, his screams should have been heard by the long ears of the surrounding elves.
However, thanks to the channel conversation, his voice did not reach the ears of the elves.
Well, Midsummer was not relieved by that situation.
Just…
“Where on earth is it eeeee!!!”
She was just angry because she couldn’t find her own body.
In the past, one hour would have been enough to look through the entire central castle.
But now, the soldiers are looking for ghosts with their eyes turned on.
Because of that obstruction, movement was not easy.
And the biggest problem is…
└How much is left?
└There are about 10 minutes left.
└It’s over haha
The fact was that 50 out of 60 had disappeared meaninglessly.
“Ssivaaaaal! What on earth!!!”
Clearly, there were still 10 minutes left.
And if you’re lucky, your body could be in the next place.
However, in the middle of the summer, when my mind exploded, I just screamed evil, and my body could not move easily.
A chat came into the eyes of Midreum, who was screaming like that.
└Hey, this… Doesn’t it look like something Seong Su-ho did?
And starting from that chat, a huge number of chats poured in.
└ㅇㅇ I think so too.
└Honestly, there is no one other than Seong Su-ho.
Speculation that Seong Su-ho stole Midreum’s body.
Even when I started looking for the body earlier, I dismissed it as bullshit.
But as time goes by…
‘Fuck… I think that’s right. That bastard…’
Midsummer also began to accept the speculation as truth.
The channel was already accepting the speculation as truth, like midsummer.
└Then… Didn’t you know that Yeoreum was watching you all this time?
└ The reason why she went out so suddenly earlier was because Yeoreum was trying to hide her body.
└Wow… It’s so fucking creepy.
Various circumstances molded the clay of speculation into a vessel of fact.
And inside that container of facts…
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The game is over.
The despair of midsummer began to appear.
However, at the same time as that despair, other emotions also began to appear.
└If that’s the case, is there any need for Yeoreum to find the body?
└?
└Even if you just go to the spirit state, won’t you still win the bet?
└Oooh… Is that so?
Hope.
‘That’s right… There was no condition that you had to come in the flesh, right?’
Midsummer could feel a drop of hope falling into a vessel full of despair.
But…
‘Fuck, that’s not possible!!! It’s actually more dangerous!!!’
She shook her head, remembering Seongsu-ho’s shining green eyes.
Right now, I’m just a doll with only strings attached.
However, the moment you catch that eye light, you will become a robot whose brain is controlled by a remote control.
‘I don’t know anything else… You have to keep that secret.’
The light that gave midsummer a chance.
Midreum instinctively felt that what the light said should never reach Seongsuho’s ears.
But…
‘Fuck… What should I do…’
Right now, at this moment, I wanted to take that risk.
That’s because the reward offered by Seong Su-ho was enormous.
But despite the compensation, Midsummer shook her head again.
“No. It’s a trap.”
Midsummer was certain. This is a trap set by Seong Su-ho.
The reason he thought so was simple.
“It’s a ploy to make me appear as a soul.”
If Seongsu-ho knew that Midore was spying on him, he would have used his green eye glow to suppress him long ago.
However, Seong Su-ho did not use green eye glow even though he could clearly do so.
And he guessed a reasonable reason for that.
“Maybe it’s because I can’t make eye contact.”
The assumption was that it wouldn’t work for someone hiding behind a wall.
And there was only one conclusion.
“So… They created this bullshit situation just to make me show up. As soon as it appears, I’m going to use the green eye glow…”
The channel was turned upside down by midsummer speculation.
└ Our summer uses her head!?
└No way!! You’re not in summer!
└Hey… Is it because I only see Sung Su-ho every day? It seems like he knows Seong Su-ho’s heart best.
└The one who looked into the abyss… It will become the abyss itself…
Midsummer furrowed her brow at various chats, but that discomfort was short-lived… It quickly became limp.
‘Did you play into that guy’s prank from the beginning…? .’
Midreum was convinced of Seongsuho’s trap.
And there were two options.
Either she goes to rescue her in spirit and loses everything, or she watches her sister’s rape, knowing she has already been caught.
‘Under… Haha…’
Midsummer laughed as if she had lost her mind.
Midsummer, who was laughing heartily, heard the voices of the elves in her ears.
(Earlier, Yeoreum’s condition wasn’t good. Is she going to be okay?)
(So she… She missed guard duty, so it looks like she was on an important mission…)
Female elf.
Even without looking, I could tell that she was an elf.
A voice continued to flow into the ears of a lifeless midsummer.
(If the castle wasn’t so cluttered, I’d go and have a chat…)
(That’s right… I can’t go see you in person in this situation…)
They seemed genuinely worried about Midsummer.
‘Under… Haha…’
Midreum has always lived only by looking at her face and body.
And the elves were beings whose faces and bodies were virtually perfect.
But even so, the servants’ appearances did not appear in Midsummer’s eyes.
‘Okay… Those women… You really care about me… Just that… Let’s be satisfied.’
Feeling for the first time that Midsummer was her sincere affection, she was about to head to Midwinter’s room to see her again.
However, the voices of the servants immediately heard stopped Midsummer’s body.
(But these days, I’m more attracted to the new ‘person’ than to Mr. Summer.)
(Ah… ‘Him’? I thought so at first… But he seemed like a nice person.)
No one mentioned their names.
However, Midsummer was able to realize the identity of ‘him’ at once.
‘Seong Su-ho… !’
The servants always exchanged gossip behind Seong Su-ho in front of Midreum.
But before they knew it, they were showing their interest in Seong Su-ho.
‘Fuck… That kind of bastard… What’s good…’
At some point, the gratitude I felt earlier began to degenerate into a sense of inferiority.
(Honestly, I look good… I keep looking at it, and more than anything…)
(Scent?)
(Ah! You were in charge too!? I thought I was the only one in charge.)
(Me too, me too! I was repulsed at first… But gradually I became attracted to it.)
(Do humans actually spread that kind of scent?)
(I guess not? Yeoreum and the other female humans smell like normal humans.)
(So is it perfume…? Should I ask…?)
It was a completely different atmosphere than when we talked about midsummer earlier.
It was a frivolity that could not be imagined from servants belonging to the Central Castle.
‘Fuck… You guys too… Let’s see if he makes that kind of face when he gets picked on by Seong Su-ho later.’
Midsummer felt inferior and tried to leave.
But again, she heard a voice pulling at his ear.
(Come to think of it, about an hour ago? ‘He’ was putting a large box on a cart and going somewhere in a hurry.)
(Big box?)
(Yes. That box…)
The servant whispered as if he was telling a secret.
(It was a box big enough to fit one elf.)
