Chapter 467 – 467. Shinsu Kirin (1)
“Didn’t you hear what Hyun-i said?”
“Yes. I was told that Miss Erin would guide me.”
“…”
Gerard seemed to know nothing about the existence of the nine-tailed fox.
No, if you think about it, you should know that the power of the divine beast you use is the power you received from the nine-tailed fox.
It is very recently that the nine-tailed fox, which was only a thought body, was resurrected.
‘What can I do? Doesn’t Miho know that Gerard is coming?’
Naturally, I thought that Eunhyun had communicated her intentions to both Miho and Gerard in advance, but Eunhyun, who has been very busy lately, seemed to have skipped this part.
Erin knew very well that nine-tailed foxes hated humans.
Erin didn’t know the details because the gumiho didn’t tell her, but Eun-hyeon briefly explained that she couldn’t help it because her experience of being betrayed by humans in the past had left her a very big scar.
Only Eun-hyeon and a few of his wives were the only humans who let go of the vigilance of the nine-tailed fox, who was able to make a new fox bead and resurrect it as a bowl.
In particular, Illyana, who actively helped her revive herself, and Lily, who regularly visits her shrine and prepares meals for her, may be because she feels her grace, so she is not wary of Eun-hyeon and his wives. .
‘… What should I do?’
However, even Erin could not predict how the gumiho would react to Gerard’s visit.
He pondered, imagining all sorts of things that would happen if the nine-tailed fox rejected Gerard and kicked him out.
“Miss Erin?”
“… No.”
Erin stopped her thoughts and answered Gerard’s question.
For now, I decided to take Gerard to the shrine where the nine-tailed fox was in the way of, ‘Oh, I don’t know.’
“Oh…”
Eventually, Gerard, who arrived at the shrine of the nine-tailed fox, let out a small exclamation.
The appearance of the shrine, built with roof tiles and wood, attracted Gerard’s attention by showing an exotic style that could not be seen anywhere else.
“Miho. I’m here.”
Gerard, who followed Erin into the interior of the shrine, was mesmerized by the beautiful sight that caught his eye.
“Ah…”
A woman lying on a sofa full of wide cushions and enjoying a sound sleep.
The reason why Gerard was mesmerized by the woman’s appearance was because the pair of fox ears and wagging nine tails were so enchanting, as well as the beautiful figure with beautiful curves sleeping on the sofa.
The expression ‘beautiful’ is not enough.
The appearance of a nine-tailed fox enjoying a sound sleep in the magnificent inner shrine was like a painting expressing the height of art.
Before he could even speak, his body instinctively moved because he didn’t even have the time to do so.
“Ugh. Sleeping again… Uh… ?”
Erin was speechless as a doll quickly passed her.
Sreuk
It is a very natural movement technology itself that is too fast and does not change with the shaking of the air.
The situation changed so quickly that Erin didn’t even have time to be astonished at the near-perfect perfection of Gerard’s Lee Hyung-hwan.
“Hmm… ?”
The nine-tailed fox, who had been enjoying a sound sleep in the shadow that suddenly and quickly approached him, opened his eyes and looked up at him.
“Eww… Hmm!?”
Upon discovering Gerard, the nine-tailed fox was startled and raised her body.
‘I… You allowed such a close distance?’
She approached at high speed, but she couldn’t immediately react to the fact that it wasn’t an attack because there was no life.
However, she has a sense that is more sensitive to the presence around her than Erin, and her technique of hiding her traces to the extent that she herself could not react is a technique that is close to perfect.
The nine-tailed fox carefully raised his head and looked up at the face of Gerard standing in front of him.
The face of the man looking at him is an infinitely hard, serious face itself.
The atmosphere was so heavy that the nine-tailed fox frowned slightly and began to be wary of Gerard.
“… It is.”
“… What?”
Gerard muttered something, but the nine-tailed fox couldn’t hear Gerard’s small voice properly.
Then, Gerard knelt down on one knee, sat in front of the gumiho in a reverent posture, and in an instant panicked, grabbed the hand of the gumiho that was hovering over it, and opened his mouth again.
“I fell in love.”
“… What?”
It’s not that I didn’t ask because I couldn’t hear Gerard’s words.
Because the words were out of the blue and so out of context for this situation, he asked back because he didn’t get it right.
However, Gerard once again said the words that did not fit the situation.
Even more detailed, faithfully put your feelings.
“It was love at first sight. Please… Will you marry me?”
“…”
The nine-tailed fox did not answer Gerard’s marriage proposal, which had been thrust upon him.
Instead, he shifted his gaze slightly to the side, looking at Erin behind her.
“Oh… !”
Erin, who was sweating at the scene of the incident unfolding in front of her eyes and couldn’t stop Gerard from acting so suddenly, flinched at the questioning gaze of the nine-tailed fox that was openly directed at her.
‘How did this happen?’
Receiving the Gumiho’s gaze, Erin slowly turned her head to the side to avoid the Gumiho’s questioning gaze.
Erin chose to give up and stand by, rather than she somehow rectify the situation.
‘What do you say to me…’
I couldn’t dare to explain the situation through the fierce gaze of the nine-tailed fox.
“… Get off.”
The nine-tailed fox gave up her explanation and murmured in a low voice to catch Erin, who was trying to escape her, sneaking her backwards.
“Yes? Please answer my marriage proposal…”
“Ay! Away!”
Eventually, the gumiho couldn’t stand it and kicked Gerard in the chest with his bare feet.
As much as he is sensitive to reading other people’s emotions, he was annoyed at the emotions flowing from Gerard.
‘Beautiful. Excellent. Lovely. It’s enchanting.’
Emotions expressed as pure fascination, not the dirty desires that other humans normally harbor when they see them.
The nine-tailed fox could not stand the itchiness in his chest at the feeling he had felt for the first time in a few hundred years.
However, Gerard did not lose his smile despite the nine-tailed fox’s rough kicking.
“Haha! You are very expressive!”
“… Get off! You pervert with no way out!”
Rather, it was the nine-tailed fox who got fed up with Gerard’s one-sided attitude, holding her hand tightly and continuing to actively court her.
He looked down at Gerard with contempt and tried to get Gerard off somehow with a series of kicks, but Gerard, who was hit by the nine-tailed fox’s bare foot, seemed completely unconcerned.
“I love that too! Please sell more!”
“What is this MiX guy talking about! Who wants to know the tastes of a pervert like you!”
Gerard, who was not curious at all, listened to his taste and was making a one-sided courtship with a nine-tailed fox.
“… Oops.”
Erin, who watched the scene from behind, desperately suppressed her laughter.
There is no way that the nine-tailed fox, with his five sensitive senses, could not have heard Erin’s voice.
In the midst of a fierce scuffle with Gerard, he shot Erin with fierce eyes.
“Come here now! This immature thing!”
“Sir, I hate it! You’re going to scold me again!”
Erin hurriedly turned her body to get out of her shrine and tried to run away from the gumiho, but contrary to her thoughts, she was easily caught by the gumiho.
As soon as she opened the magic of the divine beast, she shook off Gerard and ran to Erin, blocking her escape.
“Ouch!”
As the nine-tailed fox feeds chestnuts on her head, Erin collapses onto the floor screaming.
“It hurts!”
She cried and expressed her resentment towards the gumiho, but the gumiho did not let go of her angry face.
Leaving her Erin looking up at herself and stinging her tears, she turned her head back to find Gerard.
“You.”
“Is that what you mean?”
“Okay. You.”
“Yes!”
“…”
It was evident from her cold eyes and tone of voice that she somehow sensed the absurdity of Gerard’s delighted face.
“Come beside the chieftain and sit on her knees.”
“All right!”
As Erin and Gerard knelt down and sat side by side, the nine-tailed fox narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth.
“Explain what happened.”
“Yes. So, I must have been brought here by fate in order to be with you…”
“Not you!”
He didn’t even look at Gerard, who had no intention of giving a proper answer.
“That, that… That’s Gerard… You are Hyuni’s colleague…”
When Eunhyeon’s name came out, the nine-tailed fox wriggled his eyebrows and asked again.
“… Of him?”
“Huh.”
“…”
The nine-tailed fox slightly shifted his gaze to the side to examine Gerard’s whereabouts once again.
The muscles of the body, which are revealed even over the clothes, are better than expected, and it is a wonderful body that shows that it has been trained with great care for a long time.
And what was even more special was the energy that Gerard had inside his body.
“Hyeoni asked Miho, so Gerard…”
“Done. I roughly figured out what was going on.”
The nine-tailed fox immediately recognized the power of the giraffe that Gerard had, and realized what Eun-hyeon had in mind for sending Gerard to him.
Without hesitation, she put her hand on Gerard’s shoulder, who was kneeling in front of her.
[Nine-tailed fox’s unique ability]
[Energy Drain]
The frail-looking nine-tailed fox’s thin fingers stroked Gerard’s shoulder once, and before long, Gerard felt his body’s energy being sucked out of fatigue.
“Big… !?”
But the fatigue didn’t last that long.
Gerard, who had been staggering for a moment, regained consciousness and immediately noticed the change that had taken place in his body.
“The pain… Are you gone?”
Why did this happen all of a sudden?
Gerard, who did not understand English, was just embarrassed.
“A ferocious energy that doesn’t match at all runs rampant inside my body, but there’s no way I’ll be fine. I absorbed the magic of the divine beast inside your body and discharged it outside.”
“Ah…”
The nine-tailed fox frowned as he checked the condition of Gerard, who was sighing slightly.
‘Is it a giraffe…’
What Gerard possesses is the magical power possessed by Kirin, a divine beast of the same class as himself.
It was also a ferocious aura in an unrefined raw state.
‘It’s crazy to swallow that energy.’
No matter what, it was neutralized so that humans could bear it, but even so, it was impossible to completely eliminate the side effects, and little by little it became a strange form that gnawed Gerard’s body from the inside.
The mutation itself would never have been born if various conditions had not been established, such as Eunhyun’s help, Gerard’s courage, and Eleanor’s ‘wings of an angel’.
In a completely different case from Erin, a descendant who inherited the power of the divine beast appeared.
In a way, Eunhyeon’s sending Gerard here was close to the correct answer.
Shinsoo’s power is an unknown power that even Eun-hyeon can’t give advice on, and although the individual is different, the nine-tailed fox, which has the same power, can be a good teacher for Gerard, just like Erin.
‘Somehow, there are hardly any normal people around him.’
Illiana, the witch who helped resurrect herself, including Eunhyeon herself, Eleanor, her next saintess, Lillie, a succubus, and Erin, who inherited her own powers.
Homunculus and elves inhabited by the artificial spirits of the shadows, all of them are unusual and special.
Among them, of course, Gerard, a madman who survived by consuming the power of a divine beast at the risk of death and transformed into a strange mutant, was included.
After thinking about it, the gumiho let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.
“Whoa, it can’t be helped.”
“… Uh? Aren’t you angry?”
Erin put on a look of surprise when the nine-tailed fox did not show her anger that rose to the top of her head and tried to get over it more gently than she thought.
“If his intentions are mixed, it can’t be helped. He’s not the kind of guy who would do useless things.”
“…”
If it was Eun-hyeon’s request, she was providing many conveniences by reviving her vessel, the fox marble, or by creating an environment where she could restore her lost spirit by building a shrine like this, but even the nine-tailed fox could not so coldly refuse.
Besides, teaching Gerard how to handle the power of divine beasts had its own legitimate and legitimate reasons.
“… Miho is secretly against Hyuni. He always gets mad at me.”
If Erin distracted her even a little, she pouted her mouth, expressing her regret at the nine-tailed fox who mercilessly rammed her head.
“If you treat me with half as much reverence as he, I will.”
“Joy! I don’t know!”
“Ah-oh. Just that…”
The nine-tailed fox pretended not to hear and wanted to hit Erin’s head one more time as she jerked her head away, but he managed to hold back and told Gerard.
“Because it happened. From tomorrow, you too will participate in training with this immature one. Do you understand?”
“Then will I be staying here from today?”
“… What?”
The nine-tailed fox, unable to comprehend, asked what circuit of thought had led him to the conclusion that he would eat, sleep, and sleep in this shrine.
Gerard, who had an excited expression on his face, asked the nine-tailed fox again with a look of anticipation.
“Doesn’t that mean that I will be trained?”
“…”
“No! I would love to stay here! Please allow me to take care of Miho here!”
Seeing Gerard shouting confidently, even Erin lost her words with an expression of amazement.
Gumiho expressed his candid feelings while harboring the idea that there are all such idiots out there.
“… I wish it would just turn off.”
