Chapter 176 – 2. Psyche’s Sleep (10)
After waking up, Loa tried to find Tia immediately, but hesitated.
What do you say to Tia?
She wonders if Yuria died once, so how is she still alive?
She recalled what Tia had said before, saying that she was too dependent on herself.
In those words, it was difficult for Tia to refuse her parents’ request, so it was very difficult to feel that she was doing her group, so Roa hesitated and thought again.
If the reason why Yuria suffers from great restrictions is because her level of Yuria is too high to live normally in this world, then what about Tia?
She can see more and see more deeply than Yuria.
Tia, who is a higher being than Yuria, must have been subject to greater constraints than Yuria, but it seemed so clear that if she asked Tia about this, Tia would do her part.
Then, Roa suddenly thought of Jincheong.
Although his level is very low compared to Yuria and Tia, if Jincheong is very knowledgeable about these things and his level is very high, wouldn’t he know something?
Roa put on her clothes as it was and headed straight for Jincheong, who was in Nuri’s class.
Arriving at Noori’s training ground, it seemed that class had just ended, and Noori was practicing witchcraft, and Jincheong was quietly watching it.
Jincheong looked at Roa while wondering what was going on at the sight of Roa running away in a hurry.
“Loa Sohyup, what’s going on? Your spirit is very disturbed.”
“Jincheong, I came here because I have something to say. It may not be a big deal, but I came here because it might be very important.”
In Roa’s eyes, Jincheong read the sign that Roa wanted to talk with him alone, and motioned for Nuri to train alone for a while and moved with Roa.
Jincheong, who came down with Roa across a small valley a little below Nuri’s place of training, spread her robe on a wide rock by the valley and sat down on it, looking at Roa.
“I want to tell you now”
“After…”
Roa pondered for a moment whether it was okay to tell her others.
A nightmare-like memory that Yuria doesn’t want anyone to know about, and a huge shame…
But the feeling came in so strongly that if this wasn’t just a dream, I’d never let it go.
Loa finally opened her mouth, thinking about her sense of self fitting in needlessly in her strangeness.
“First of all, I think I should explain what happened to me and my wife.”
Roa explained to Fernando, the count’s son, what had happened to her and Yuria in the past.
Detailed descriptions were omitted, but Yuria committed rape, gang rape, and bestiality… Even the tentacles were so horribly violated, and she herself was pinned to a chair and nails and needles were driven into his limbs.
“And I had a dream about what happened yesterday. It started with me watching YuRia like that day, but before I knew it, I became YuRia and felt what kind of feelings and what kind of pain YuRia had to go through…”
The shock she felt in her dream made Loa’s body tremble.
Jincheong quietly held Roa’s arm.
“I want you to calm down…”
“…Ha”
After taking a few deep breaths and evening her breath, Roa finally got to the point.
“Yuria, who had already reached her limits after being abused by them, was invaded by tentacles, which could not be reached by normal methods, and even her organs were raped, and she lost her memory and abilities from the shock. No, that’s what my party and I knew. However, it wasn’t like that in our dream. Yuria… Died at that time.”
Roa trembled and continued her words, clasping her eyes with her hands and holding her head down.
“Is this just a dream? That’s why it was so similar to her memories of being assimilated with Yuria. I can’t believe this is just a dream.”
At Roa’s words, Jincheong quietly patted her loa on the back and stood her up.
“There is something I can point out, but I think we should visit your inner child together.”
“You mean YuRia…?”
“Let’s talk while walking”
Jin Qing took the lead and walked, quietly opening her mouth.
“Roa Sohyeop, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Looking at Xiaohyup’s attitude, it seems that YuRia, the sage of the west region, has done a very big thing to you. If you did this with Xiaohyup’s permission, I don’t understand Xiaohyup’s reaction.”
At Jincheong’s words, Roa gave a slightly bitter smile.
“Perhaps… YuRia must have explained everything to me. It was when I was still young that I got to know YuRia.”
“…”
“Yuria told me that I would definitely regret it and warned me that it would be very painful. I was originally a little stupid and I couldn’t understand what YuRia said at the time, and I can’t remember everything she said at the time, but I’m sure she did a few times. And I warned and repeatedly held back. Even so, I chose to bear it all.”
After hearing those words… She sighed.
“Being connected to Loa Sohyeop is a huge karma that no ordinary human can bear.”
“She doesn’t mind as long as she can be with Yuria”
“Hehe… I can tell from the look on your face. Hagisa, so the sage must have chosen you, too.”
Jincheng continued to explain, trudging along with her steps.
“Roa Sohyup. How long do you think you will live?”
“Well… 100 years? No, I will try to live as long as possible with Yuria, so if I reach a high level, I will live for 200 years or 500 years.”
Jin Qing shook his head at him.
“At least 10,000 years.”
“Eh, eh?”
“It’s ‘minimum’ as the tea said. It’s virtually impossible to measure how long Loa Sohyeop can live.”
At those words, Roa blankly looked at Jincheong.
“For ordinary people, excessive longevity is both poison and a curse. However, seeing Sohyeop’s expression, he seems to be happy.”
“If only YuRia were there, she would be a thousand years old and ten thousand years old, and there’s no way she wouldn’t be happy.”
Seeing Roa like that, Jincheong sent an expression of genuine envy.
“Loa Sohyeop, do you know that Yuria’s ancestor lives inside of you?”
“I know that. She told me that YuRia told me that she truly made a marriage between her husband and wife and shared a piece of each other’s soul.”
“That’s because of that. Loa Sohyeop. At that time, YuRia’s ancestor definitely died, but it was only the part called ‘Yuria’ in the ancestor called Yuria, and the part of Loa Sohyeop in it didn’t die.”
What about Roa? And looked at her jincheong.
“And also, the sage YuRia, who was in the Roa small group, didn’t die either.”
What about Roa? And put his hand on his chest.
“That’s why I lost my memory. The part that has the memory is dead, but the memory is there. Even though the soul is dead, there’s no way that ability will remain.”
At those words, Loa’s body trembled.
“Then… What about Yuria?”
“However, it’s not completely dead. Even a very small piece of it is alive and shining brightly in Sohyeop’s arms. Not all the spirits inside Yuria’s sage have disappeared, but the pieces of Loa Sohyeop are definitely alive.”
At those words, Roa seemed to know little by little about the circumstances of the incident.
“Like that, in that small light, Sage YuRia came back to life. However, even if the soul was brought back to life due to the impact of the death once, it would not have recovered its strength and memories, and the fact that its memories and powers came back again is almost comparable to death. I must have been in great shock.”
“…”
Jin Qing’s words were correct.
She just wanted to start anew with her bad memories gone and hope to see and hear only good things and be happy, but in the end, Yuria’s nightmare-like memories of that day came back.
In the dark, where she can neither see nor hear her eyes nor ears, she suffers from the fear of being raped by an unknown person, and even the shock of losing her own womb eventually brings back memories, and Yuria runs out of control over the terrible memories she lost. Although it was over, Yuria managed to calm herself down with Roa’s presence.
Before she knew it, she arrived at the building where Talos was sealed, showed her hand to the warrior who was guarding her, and Roa and Jincheong, who entered, returned behind Talos and looked at Yuria’s coffin.
“This!”
Jincheong hurriedly put her hand into her arms and took out her bundle of amulets and scattered them all over Yuria’s coffin.
With a flash, the amulets spontaneously caught fire and burned away, and Jincheon took out the bundles of amulets from his arms again and scattered them in the air.
“Jincheong?”
“The devil is playing tricks on the sage!! She is under attack by the sage’s spirit!!”
The second bundle of amulets didn’t stick together like before, but clung to the top of Yuria’s coffin.
Jincheng raised a red flag behind her back and started muttering her words incessantly that she couldn’t understand.
Roa was so anxious to see Jincheong like that, but she waited in silence.
As she was asking Jincheong about something, it felt like something big would happen to YuRia if Jincheong’s spell broke, so Roa stamped her feet and looked at Jincheong and YuRia without hesitation.
And how much time has passed Jincheng sighed and sighed.
“The devil is gone”
“Jincheng… What the hell just happened?”
“I don’t know why, but the devil was trying to weaken the sage, or he was doing something. Apparently, looking at the relationship between the loa shohyup and the sage, based on the loa shohyeop’s dreams, it’s the kind that makes you experience the most terrible memories again and again. I wonder if it wasn’t.”
At those words, Loa murmured and shuddered.
Those terrible things… You were repeating it again?
It was sad that she was frozen cold, but Roa collapsed as it was at the fact that Yuria, who she thought would have been resting peacefully, was suffering again.
Oh my god…
“Oh, when did it start! When the hell did Yuria start…”
“Calm down. Surely there was no trace of the faceless fiend’s manipulation yesterday. Hearing about Loa Sohyeop’s dream, he came earlier today than usual, so it shouldn’t have been that long.”
At that, Loa sighed and let out a sigh of relief.
But even so, her mind still tingled when she thought of Yuria, who would have gone through that terrible experience over and over again.
“From now on, I’ll have to check the condition of the ancestors more often.”
“Yu, Yuria… How is Yuria now? Is Yuria okay?”
Seeing Roa trembling and asking, Jincheong’s expression became a little heavy and she showed a look that was neither positive nor negative.
“As of right now, the only way to understand the state of the ancestors is the state of the spiritual powers of the ancestors. I’m fine”
Spiritual power is unharmed.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, there was no way that Yuria’s spirit would ever be safe if she went through that terrible thing again.
I need to comfort you… I need to pamper you…
I need to reassure you that you’ll be fine…
How can I reach Yuria?
Since that day, Roa’s heart has been impatient.
Even though she was frozen, she thought she was resting comfortably, so even though she missed her, her heart was not in a hurry, but the situation was different.
Jincheong changed the seal that had been used to prevent someone from opening the coffin unintentionally, and changed it to a seal that prevented demons from interfering.
One day it was fine, and the other day the seals were quite damaged, so the seals were repaired and supplemented again.
And in the early fall of that year.
Jincheon finally gave permission to go to the small continent.
“Are you finally?”
“Actually, if you hit the stage, everything was already completed around summer. However, in the summer, the route was unstable due to typhoons and there were no ships, so I didn’t say it because I was afraid that my heart would be shaken.”
What did Roa say? I looked at Jincheong.
“Of course, there are still many things left to learn and learn, but the rest can be learned there. I have already put all the items necessary for training, including books, in the black giant’s empty warehouse.”
“When will it be…?”
Jin-Cheong just smiled.
“I know your heart well, so how can you be relaxed?
Jincheong’s words made Roa feel ashamed.
She is herself whose head is filled with only thoughts of YuRia, and that is why she was so considerate of herself. She felt so grateful to him for taking care of places she hadn’t seen.
Loa silently bowed her head to him, thinking that if YuRia woke up again one day, she would definitely have to repay him for her favor.
In the early fall of that year, the loa finally boarded a ship heading for the small continent.
* * * * *
“Oh…”
The ship heading to the East Continent, which I saw for the first time, was very gigantic.
The enormous ship, which seemed to reach almost 100 meters, was firmly reinforced with copper-based alloys and alloys that had never been seen before.
“No way… Is this ship made of steel?”
“That’s right. The keel of this ship uses a steel keel made with a secret technology that can only be found here on the East Continent.”
Qin Qing shrugged her shoulders quite proudly.
“The keel of this ship is a secret item that even the empire that said its technological prowess is the best in the continent cannot imitate.”
“That’s right”
Again, I was curious about the technique.
How does it feel to YuRia?
Tia giggled in my arms as if she had read my thoughts. Why?
But Tia didn’t answer why she was smiling.
After thinking about it for a while, Roa wondered if it was possible that even this skill was really nothing to Yuria? Let’s think Tia hee hee? She looked at herself in amazement.
“This ship does not go directly to the small continent”
“Yes?”
Jincheng called his party and told them about the huge island called Newre, to which the ship was heading.
In fact, it would be correct to see Newre as a part of the small continent, but for some reason, the Great Yo-kai sealed in Newre is very friendly to humans, and the environment there is not a place where all kinds of poisons or dangerous creatures are prevalent like the small continent, so it is virtually a small continent. It was said that the exploration of the continent was done in such a way as to set up a base here and set out to explore the small continent only during the day.
Of course, there are cases where they stay for a few days in the small continent and explore, but it is said that such cases are very rare.
In the first place, the small continent was filled with all sorts of dangerous animals and plants beyond imagination, so it was virtually unreasonable to set up a base there, and sleeping defenselessly in a dangerous place even if you were alert was like suicide.
“Of course, it’s not that there isn’t a lot of space for people to stay even within the small continent.”
The subcontinent is divided into areas called Hoth, Nujie, and Osi. In the case of Hoth and Nujie, there was a place that stretched out toward the island of Newe, and Newe also had a terrain that stretched toward it, so regular boats to those two places every day. There was a small continent, and the tip of the peninsula that stretched toward the Nure Empire was the only space in the small continent where people could live.
It is said that making this part into a space where people can live was the result of a really great effort.
They burned, burned, and burned again and again, literally eradicating everything thoroughly, completely wiping out the ecology of the land, bringing ordinary crops and livestock there to raise them, and using very strong magic to prevent the ecology of the small continent that had been barely pushed away from returning. It is said that it was isolated and made a place where humans could barely live.
“Then, wouldn’t it be possible to do the same elsewhere?”
“It’s impossible. After nearly a hundred years of time and huge capital poured into the country, we were able to barely occupy only the tip of the peninsula. In fact, the kingdom is satisfied with just occupying those two places, and it will never end like that again. They are reluctant to wage an invisible war.”
Does it mean that the occupation was only possible because the terrain was barely narrow enough for the state to step in?
Does that even have to be invested over a hundred years?
I looked at the various biopics there, memorized their characteristics, and learned about their toxicity and danger.
Although she memorized what to do in certain situations, Roa tilted her head at how dangerous the place was nonetheless.
“It’s not just the creatures in the encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is just those whose characteristics and ecology have been identified and organized, and most of them are creatures that haven’t even been named yet.”
“… That”
It was a small continent that she had been looking forward to so much, but when she finally got to the small continent, Roa began to worry.
Is it right to take children to such a place?
“You shouldn’t worry too much. Those kids are better than you think.”
“Uh, uh…”
Ai and Yuria too. Neither could give up.
But isn’t there a saying that when you try to catch two rabbits, you miss both?
Loa was afraid of that.
Right now, he wonders if he is trying to catch two rabbits and is trying to miss them both.
“Trust the children”
“…”
As Roa still looked uneasy, Tia slapped Roa in the chest.
Even though it was a small bracken hand, Tia’s palm was very sharp.
“Heuk!”
“What’s wrong with daddy or something even hotter?”
As Tia spoke in a short voice as her cheeks swelled up, Nuri puffed up next to her and burst out laughing, and her jincheong was also swollen, covering her mouth and trying hard to hold back her laughter.
To Loa, she is just a cute daughter, but Nuri and Jincheong are aware of her true identity.
The short tongue of Thebenoa, one of the higher gods right below the main god among the gods…
“Huh? What is T-aya?”
“…”
Tia, who had been very shy with an expression that looked like Yuria, was smiling and cleared her throat before speaking again.
“Opa, how about getting hotter?”
“Puff!!”
“Turn off…”
Tia trembled in amazement at the two of them trying to hold back their laughter.
I-that’s really… !?
“Ooh, Uchima!!”
Roa’s body trembles and trembles at him, and even Tia’s father!? With a look that seemed betrayed, she looked up at Loa.
“What if our Tia is cute?”
“M-M-M-M!!”
In the end, she was ashamed and slumped her head into the arms of her loa.
And then stretch! Slap! He hit Roa’s chest, but a loud sound that could hardly be thought of as being hit by her baby’s hand resonated.
“Evil! Evil! Evil!!”
“Myo?”
“Ha surrender! Tiaya surrender!!”
It may have looked like a warm-hearted father playing with his daughter, but only Roa’s party could tell that it was actually a fierce fire smashing.
(Yuria version of Tia’s facial expression. Tia’s appearance is almost identical to Yuria’s)
