Chapter 848 – 839 on the Way Back – Yulkam
Hwanin, who was walking to where Yua was hiding, watched in silence as Yua’s soul color suddenly changed.
Her senses are as sensitive as her circulating energy, and she seems to sense my approach and run away.
Then, the place where Yua hid again was in the corner of the village, under the wooden patrol scaffolding that was hidden by the house and was hard to see.
“…”
She heads towards it again, and when she has about 100 meters left, her infant spirit runs away again.
I watched her for a moment to see where she was going this time, and the toddler headed towards her village chief’s house and climbed up the 400-year-old tree next to her village chief’s house like a squirrel.
She then jumped over to the roof of the village chief’s house and snorted at Hwanin, who was looking at her from below.
‘You said you were a soul master, right? ‘Why don’t you come up and take a look?’
Whether they are soul masters or nobles, they are people who save face a lot. I will never do something like climbing a tree to the roof because it would be embarrassing to do so.
The toddler was very irritated.
Because your dad isn’t there for you? I wonder if he would get angry over something like that. There are many children in the village who don’t have a father or who have the same father.
The child’s frustration began with the fact that that person did not take care of her mother.
Yua, who lacked even the ability to speak, was born and immediately opened her eyes and began to remember her entire 5-year-old life.
Before her mother became a sex magician, she suffered from the subtle envy and jealousy of the women in her village.
After her awakening as a sex magician, priests and priests from nearby villages and cities came and kept pestering her to take her mother away.
Her grandfather, the village chief, said he was burdened by her priests and relatives who kept visiting him, so he handed over the position of village chief to her mother.
Even the adults who became the village chief at a young age were annoying and abusive.
They bring about every problem that arises, and if her aunts hadn’t woken up to professionalism and taken care of her, her mother would have definitely died from overwork.
What has the human being called Dad done for me so far?
… I’m grateful that he saved her mother from almost dying, and I’m grateful that he gave birth to me as her mother’s son, but I can’t forgive that person as I once watched my mother suffer to the point where her cheeks became saggy.
After all, while her mother was going through such hardships, that person must have been traveling comfortably with her pretty sisters.
At that time, the door opened, and an older sister with silver hair, who was a little younger than her mother but was very pretty, came out.
=Doryeong? What are you doing there? What about infants?=
“…”
=… Huh? Stomach? Oh, how did they get up there?=
“They have greater physical potential than Chiryeong’s twins and Siha’s triplets. “In terms of pure physical power, infants are probably the best.”
=Oh…=
Yua was a little nervous.
That person is not scary at all because he seems like a bastard with no strength, like the men who play and eat in the village, but that pretty sister felt so strong that her body froze for a moment when our eyes met.
Compared to that older sister, the temple knight who came to visit me a few months ago, a level 5 fighter, would be like a hob in front of Urger.
So, if it were that older sister, she would easily jump this height, and even if she ran away, she would quickly chase after her and catch her.
Even so, Yua had no intention of being caught helplessly, so the moment her older sister jumped up, Yua put a lot of effort into her legs in an attempt to escape.
“What are you doing inside?”
=Ayoung is taking care of various things for Mr. Ryuhi. Iseul is talking to Huini and Ennel, and Yul is talking to Epnis. =
“Okay. “Tell them to go in and take care of it.”
=I will. Hehe… It must be a little difficult to see that. Dad, cheer up?=
… ? Who is taking care of what? Mom and aunts?
The pretty sister went back inside the house and Yua became curious about what was going on inside.
I stick my head out through the edge of her roof, but of course I can’t see anything here.
=…=
She glared at the human who kept looking up at her from below with her disapproving eyes. If only that person went somewhere else, he would be able to get down.
At that moment, Yua opened her eyes wide.
I think that person lightly kicked the ground and then jumped up onto the 7 m high roof.
=Uh, huh?=
Yua winced at the sight of the human who climbed up without much effort looking down at her.
How? I don’t feel any power from that person… ?
In order to use strong power or special skills, you must have strength. Depending on how much power you have, you can use strong power even more powerfully, and special techniques become more powerful.
But how can that person have no power?
Yua looked at where that person was standing. Let alone the roof tiles were broken or cracked.
If he were strong enough, he could jump up to this point, but if he did so, all the roof tiles would break. When you look at that, it means that he has excellent skills…
The infant looked warily at the human sitting on the ridge of the roof at a moderate distance.
Could it be that her mom and her aunt are being tricked? She’s being impersonated by the wrong guy…
=…=
No. That’s not it. What a serious sin it is to impersonate a soul priest.
She had heard from a village elder that there was a saying that it was better to kill someone than to impersonate a soul.
“What you see is not everything.”
The child was startled by the sudden words and looked wary.
As I do so, the story continues.
“There are more invisible things in the world than visible things. Risk also increases proportionally, so it is important for a wise person to have a broad and deep perspective. Don’t miss out on such a dangerous thing. So that you can protect yourself and your precious things from such dangerous things.”
=…=
Yua wondered what that person was suddenly saying, but after a while, she found herself nodding her head, listening intently.
That’s right.
How to act wisely.
How to pay attention to your surroundings.
How to broaden your thinking through meditation.
The mindset you should have when dealing with people.
Bad habits to have, good habits to have.
Because even the village chief, who is said to be the wisest in the village, is telling me things he doesn’t know.
Even if you’re fooling yourself, it sounds so believable that you can’t help but listen. If it’s a trick like that, you can learn it and use it in reverse.
Her companion climbed down from her roof after looking at her toddler for a moment, who was keeping her distance and concentrating on her own story, like an alert puppy.
At the same time, the door opens and Isilite comes out and asks.
=Ah, master. I was trying to prepare dinner. Mr. Ryuhi…=
“Do as she wants. Because this is her house.”
=Yes. Then I will help Mr. Ryuhi. =
Hwanin, who was watching Isil Ritte enter her house again, smiled slightly at the sight of her toddler looking down from her roof, and then she went inside the house.
When you show caution like that, no matter how much you talk, the longer the story goes on, the less meaningful it becomes.
‘I think we can improve our relationship to the point where we can give gifts in three days.’
I completely understand why toddlers do that. So let her calm down and take her time to convince her toddler.
The gift… It could be a martial arts book written about the experiences I have gained.
Yua, who had eaten a much tastier dinner than usual, frowned as she rubbed her bulging stomach.
She ate it all because it was delicious, but her pretty sisters next to her kept pushing her to eat… I think I overate.
“Wow, he really looks like Hwanin because he frowns. “I don’t even have wolf ears or a tail.”
=…=
Yua looked back at her mother, avoiding her older sister, who, like her, had black hair and slightly sharp eyes.
=… So the former village chief entrusted me with the position of village chief. She knew it was a demanding position, but…=
“Ennel said the same thing. “If it weren’t for Ryuhi, Yulkam wouldn’t have grown to this level.”
=Oh, no…=
“Large villages and cities will grow naturally if left alone and do not cause major problems, but this is not the case for small villages. You need to pour a lot of attention and affection into it to grow. It’s thanks to Ryuhi’s efforts.”
=…=
… This is my first time seeing my mom so shy and shy. She was a mother who had a hard attitude like a sturdy tree, no matter how much the male adults in the village scoffed at her.
The same goes for her aunts, so they don’t think about leaving that person. They were all aunts who were obsessed with men.
=Since the meal is over, let’s clean up.=
After hearing the story of her pretty silver-haired older sister, Yua began to neatly pack her dishes and carry them to her kitchen.
Ayoung sees this and goes next to her, putting her dishes on her tray and patting her head.
=Do you always help your mom like this?=
=Yes. Because I’m the only one for her mom. I have to help her mom so that she doesn’t have a hard time =
=Wow~ You’re so kind~!=
Normally, I wouldn’t like it when someone strokes her head to the point where it makes it flutter, but strangely, I don’t hate these sisters.
Is it because the way they look at me doesn’t bother them, unlike the village sisters and ajummas?
Yua, who had brought all the tableware for 17 people to the kitchen, tried to help her wash the dishes, but she was pushed out of the kitchen by her older sister, who had hair as pretty as lavender.
=We’ll do the dishes, so you can sit down and rest.=
=… Thank you…=
Yua, who came back into the living room, looked at her mother, who was still attached to that person, then pouted her lips and sat down in the furthest seat.
After dinner, her mom always talked to me.
The toddler, who was lying face down on her table and looking sullen, glanced past her at the sound of her turning the pages. There, a pretty older sister with black hair and just a little taller than she was, was looking at her book.
Now that I think about it, there are two people other than that person with black hair.
“Why?”
=… Yes?=
“Aren’t you seeing me because you have something to tell me?”
She was surprised. She watched it secretly so as not to be caught.
More than that, is it okay to ask questions? Yua thought for a moment, and then she asked.
=Pretty older sister. I… Are people strong?=
She’s a pretty sister… It would have been off-putting if it had been a name mixed with flattery, but Ji Ji-yul smiled and looked back at Hwan-in because the tone was really genuine.
“Is that person strong? What do you think?”
=They are the same as the fun-loving village Nomtops. But earlier, I easily climbed up the 10 m-high roof…=
… Does this sister not like that person? Yua asked while thinking about that, and she frowned at the answer she received.
“How do I look? “Who is the white-haired sister sitting next to the light-blue-haired sister over there?”
=I don’t know my sister. When I look at it, I feel something strange. The black-haired sister… It’s really strong, right?=
“Hmm. Would you like to arrange us in order of strength in your opinion?=
I don’t know why I’m asking this, but I don’t think it’s to make fun of me like the sisters in the village, so I put some thought into laying out the small wooden boards with the sisters’ names written on them in order.
Ji Ji-yul, who saw it from the side, and Anne, who noticed what he was doing while passing by, looked like, ‘That’s pretty good, isn’t it?’.
Hwanyeon ≥ Jihyul 〉 Isilite 〉 Norn = Anne 〉 Baekryeo River ≥ Ayeong 〉 Yurpa
“It’s pretty accurate, right? After all, it’s your blood.”
=…=
Seeing Yua frowning as if she was upset, Jiha Yul giggled and poked Yua on the cheek.
“I guess you feel bad because you’re my uncle’s son. Hey, I saw you catch Crocs outside earlier. “You caught that on your own, right?”
=Yes.=
“Just looking at the kids your age in the village will tell you that you are special. Do you think it just happened?”
=…=
My mother and aunts don’t say anything, but my sisters and older women in the neighborhood say something when they see me.
He says the reason he is so strong is that he inherited the blood of the Soul Master. She is said to be ‘special’ because she inherited her father’s powers.
Ji Ji-yul said with a slightly cynical smile, as if he was amused by Yoo Ah being silent.
“There are people in this world who receive preferential treatment when they are born. Children of wealthy families, children of wealthy families, children of special status.”
Jiha Yul takes out her paper, places it in front of Yoo Ah, and writes them down. And she continues her words by drawing a large circle and tying it together.
“These people will literally live a comfortable and peaceful life. “I can do whatever I want and eat whatever I want, without worrying about being killed by a monster.”
Then she drew three bullet points below it, followed by a circle big enough to contain a word.
“But there are people who receive more special benefits than the people above.”
Write the two letters of the name ‘Yua’ in the circle.
Yua looked at her name without blinking and then looked back at her basement and asked.
=Do you mean that what I inherited from that person is greater than the status of nobles and the honor of priests?”
“You can easily obtain something like that with your efforts. But even if these things die and wake up, even if you grind your whole body and work hard to the point of breaking it, even if you sell your soul to the devil, you will not get what you inherited from that uncle.”
=…=
Yua couldn’t understand. Who is this person that my sister, who looks like she would never lie or joke, speaks like this?
Oh, of course I know very well that I am not ordinary.
He is very different from other kids his age in terms of height and physique, and the only adult who can beat him in Yulkam is Aunt Ennel, the vigilante leader.
… Is that why her mother hides her or sends her out whenever high-ranking people from the village or city come? Because her mom knows I’m special?
Continuing her thoughts, Yua noticed that Yul Ji did not ask her first question. Immediately afterward, she also realized that this was the answer to her sister’s first question.
That made me even more angry.
If you can pass on this kind of power, you’re really strong! Why is it so great! Why didn’t you protect her mother?
Jiha Yul said to Anne, who was standing next to her, while looking at the toddler who was fussing.
“Her body may be 10 years old, but her head still feels like a 5-year-old.”
=You look like you’re about 10 years old? If I were in Yoo Ah’s position, I would probably be a little angry at the governor. =
“Emotionally speaking, I understand that YooA is upset. If you look at her rationally, she sympathizes with you.”
=…=
“Phew. Look how she glares at you for taking your side. “It’s funny.”
=Don’t tease the child.=
Anne, who stopped Yul Jiha from giggling, looked at Yua, who was suppressing her anger while huffing, with a slightly sad smile and said.
=This is the whole reason why the master didn’t take care of you and Ryuhi. That I didn’t know you were born. And at that time, the master wasn’t as strong as he is now. =
=…=
=It was only recently that I had that much power, and it was only recently that I found out that you were born. At that time, for a great purpose, we crossed Beltical from Heathrond and destroyed even one of their villages in the Evil Faction territory…=
When I told him about part of the journey to Marianoul, Yua’s expression changed noticeably.
=… Are you saying your sisters are that strong?=
=I can’t trust him. Yi Seul, Ah Young. Come here for a moment.=
Anne, who had just finished washing her dishes, called the women who were coming out and whispered to them, pointing to her infant child. Then the two women looked at Yua and smiled softly.
Then, the dazzling auras of a swordsman, a spirit knight, and a 7th-grade magician emanated from the bodies of the three people, filling the living room on the first floor of the village chief’s house.
=…=
A child is still a child? Anne smiled and asked the toddler who was staring at her with her mouth wide open.
=How can you believe it?=
=Yes? Yes. I will believe it.=
I can’t believe it. When the sisters hid their aura, the power that exploded increased by almost 1/10? No, it has decreased to 1/100.
Yua looked blankly at her pretty sisters again. I feel sorry for her mom, but… I think the older sisters are a little prettier.
Thanks to those older sisters, Yua realized that she was a child who knew nothing.
Looking at the 4th and 5th level escort knights of the nobles and nobles who occasionally visited Yulkam, Yua was gradually growing in his pride, thinking, ‘It’s no big deal if the job outside is that good.’
If I fight right now, I’ll lose to those escort knights, but in the next 10 years… No, I thought that if I built up my strength for 5 more years, I could beat a truckload of those drivers.
But when he saw his sisters’ true selves, he realized that the world out there was wider and that there were people who were far stronger than he thought.
=…=
Yua is looking this way… Human being… Person… Anyway! He looked blankly at the person looking this way.
The story that person told me on the roof earlier comes to mind again.
The mindset to have when dealing with people, how to act wisely, and how to look at things carefully.
I guess what I’m saying in this case is to act thoughtfully and wisely because you never know what kind of strong person there will be in the world.
What would have happened if I had misbehaved with my older sisters or showed off my power in a clumsy way?
She must have been scolded not only by herself but also by her mother and her aunts. In return for his misbehaving.
=… I’ll go up first. =
Yua, who had a lot to think about, said hello a little weakly and trudged up to her room on the second floor.
