Chapter 574 – 574. Tsunami and Sword
The next day.
After breakfast, I leisurely walked around Beijing with Seung Mi Se-an.
The coins that came in last night were 400,000. Approximately 4,000 people.
There is no significant difference in destructive power between Catastrophe and Death Wind.
Hmm… But if you think about it that way, catastrophe is beneficial.
Deathwind has too many prerequisite skills to learn, right? Moreover, there are too many skills that are not utilized.
To be honest, things like poisonous dance and bleeding have no use on their own. It’s a waste of skill.
But it is not a catastrophe.
Although 10 basic skills are cumbersome, in the end, as you learn them, you will have 10 basic skills.
In particular, it is beneficial to learn hidden skills at all costs.
Even though we didn’t specifically aim for it, seeing that Seunghee, Mina, and SeAH each got 9, Catastrophe is definitely beneficial.
It’s a random problem.
I thought about whether there was a way to use it more effectively and decided to go to the coast.
When you think of natural disasters, the things that come to mind are land, water, fire, and wind.
The ground was damaged yesterday by an earthquake, and the fire… Volcano? There is no volcano, so there is nothing we can do. The wind has tornadoes and death winds…
All that’s left is water… Flood, or tsunami. Cold spell or heavy snow.
Tenjin. From there, Anna wrote a catastrophe, and soon a mountain of waves began to roll in.
Really… Just looking at it makes my balls shrink.
How would you feel if you were hit directly by that thing?
The tsunami was more effective than expected.
It has the disadvantage of only causing damage to the coast, but that alone causes serious damage.
That’s how the coastal tour started.
Occasionally there were earthquakes or biological disasters other than tsunamis, but in general, tsunamis were frequent.
I guess the frequency varies depending on the surrounding environment.
That’s what I thought as I moved along the coast of China for a while.
Pick up coins. Ugh. When are you picking up this many coins again?
It looks like the tamed animals need to be overworked. Anyway… If you die from overwork, you can start a new time.
Moreover, SeAH also has a gate, so it can refill its taming on its own even when I am not there.
“You must be absolutely careful when I’m not around. No matter how easy it looks, don’t fight and avoid it if possible. The party is locked, and it will never be resolved until I release it, or you go out with your own hands, so if they split up, run away in the direction where Se-Ah is moving. If possible, continue to a place with no bottom, such as the sea or a lake, then open the gate and quickly escape.”
“Ah. You really have a lot to say. Why are you so worried? Are we so untrustworthy?”
Se-ah couldn’t stand it anymore and burst out, and I kept my mouth shut.
Tsk. This is the problem. This is the problem.
I’m worried that something might go wrong while moving separately in a place without me.
That’s the difference between your woman and other women. Ha. I’m also a very funny bastard.
“It’s not that I’m untrustworthy. I’m just worried. You know. If you make a mistake, you could lose your life right away…”
“The story is getting longer again. We know that our lives are precious. So don’t worry too much. I don’t want to die first, leaving my brother behind… What’s wrong with your expression? Why are you so sinister?”
“No, no. Keep saying it. Tell me until the end. You don’t want to die first and leave me alone? Is that what you said?”
“Kyaaak! Really! Smirking!”
Seunghee, Mina, and Anna who were next to her also giggle as they see Se-Ah like that.
Uh oh. Seah, does that look like your face is red? If I tease you here one more time, you’ll turn even redder, right?
But it would be better to stop here. It’s fun, but if you push it too hard, it explodes again.
Below, the dogs are being swept away by the water and dying, but here we are in the sky, laughing and talking to each other.
Really… It’s an unrealistic scene. We really have nothing to say even if someone calls us psychopaths.
After the tsunami wiped out the entire Shandong Peninsula in one day, we tamed the crows to pick up coins and returned home.
The number of crows has now increased to 33 due to increased passive abilities.
I tried to spread it as much as possible so as not to raise suspicion… Well, you’ll do well. Because it is definitely a living creature.
Since it’s strengthened through taming, it can’t be defeated by most natural enemies, right? If it happens, it’s only humans.
Other than that, there is no other way to die.
After resting at home, I went over to Hokkaido.
Harukawa Aki has now moved into a neater house.
The two seem to be getting along better than expected and are becoming quite close.
Well, Haruka has naturalness and goodness, and Aki has the composure and seriousness that can be found in a strong person.
In some ways, the two seem quite compatible. What can I say?
Should I say that they are like the female leads seen in academy dramas?
Those two were holding and swinging wooden swords.
Why a wooden sword? Are you doing some sword training?
“What are you doing?”
“Angel!”
Haruka smiled brightly and welcomed me when I appeared. Laugh. It’s dazzling. A sinful person like me is pricked by conscience when he sees a bright smile like that.
It’s almost Anna-level brightness, right? But what can I say? If Anna’s calmness is something she experienced before and after giving birth, this is just a natural feeling.
So maybe it’s brighter?
“Haruka. Even if you’re not an angel.”
“I know, Aki-san. But… I just want to call you angel.”
What? Does something seem to have changed? Did Aki work hard to undo the brainwashing by your side?
No. Haruka is a naturally virtuous beggar, not an idiot. Ugh. I was ignoring him too much.
“Haruka-chan?”
“Yes, angel.”
“You don’t have to call me angel.”
“Eh…”
“Yeah. I guess that’s what you wanted, so I followed suit… Furthermore, I know you don’t really think of me as an angel or something. You just… Wanted to call me that, right?”
“Hehe. Yes, that’s right. Still… You are truly like an angel to me.”
“Thank you for that. But you don’t have to call me angel. That’s because Aki-chan is right. That’s right. I guess I need to sort out the title since it’s like this.”
“Yes?”
“Haruka-chan? I don’t know if you know, but I’m Korean.”
“Korea? Ah… Really!? But how can you speak so fluent Japanese…”
“There is a skill called interpretation, Haruka. If you learn it, you can communicate with anyone.”
Aki joins in from the side and says. Haruka opens her eyes wide as if she is amazed.
“Anyway, in Korea, younger women usually call older men ‘oppa.'”
“Ah! I know! Oppa! There was a Korean male idol group that I also liked!”
Okay. Haruka must have been a girl with many dreams before the world fell apart.
Did she say twenty-one? Then I must have been sixteen when the world fell apart. Same age as Seunghee and SeAh.
Well then, you’re at the age where you like that kind of thing.
“So, I think you can call me oppa from now on. Although I’m not as handsome as male idols.”
“Hehe. No! To me, you’re not an angel… But you’re cooler!”
I don’t know how many bean pods have to be used to make something like that.
Really… That’s amazing. He’s so natural. It definitely needs protection.
“And in Korea, they don’t add anything after their name. So I much prefer calling them Haruka rather than Haruka-chan. It feels closer to me.”
“Ah… Yes. That’s right. Hehe.”
“And this goes for you too, Aki. Of course, you might not feel like it, but I’ll call you Aki. You can call me oppa, too.”
“Eh. Don’t be weird. He’s a completely selfish man.”
“That’s right. I’m a self-indulgent man. If I had my way, I would catch him and throw him in front of you, and I brought you here too. And now I can call you whatever I want, right? And what I said before?”
Getting Aki to say that I like him. He looked a little confused as if he had thought of that.
Hmm. Looking at things like that, it seems a bit promising, right?
“Ha… Yeah, that’s great. But I can’t do it the way I want.”
“Well, you’ll know that if you watch. But, what were you doing? Training in swordsmanship?”
“Yes! Aki-san was teaching me! He will protect himself, but he must be able to protect himself to some extent!”
“Hmm. That’s an amazing idea, but isn’t it too late to learn now? I don’t think it will have much effect, right?”
“It’s never too late to learn. If you put in the effort now and make it your own, it will definitely be helpful someday.”
Aki’s expression as he says that looks like a teacher. No. Rather than being a teacher… Instructor?
Okay. He said he did kendo, right? Then he must be a kendo instructor.
But it feels like you just copied what someone said, rather than what you thought and said?
Well, I probably won’t be able to become an instructor at that age. No matter how good your skills are.
“Hmm. Really? Then I’m not late too?”
“What? That too?”
“That’s it. Say ‘oppa.’ Follow me. ‘Oppa.'”
“Don’t get your hopes up. I have no intention of doing so just yet.”
“Oh. Really? ‘Not yet’? So you’re thinking of doing it someday?”
“What… What? What are you talking about? That’s not true! I said the wrong thing! I don’t plan on doing that again!”
She is a fun woman. A woman who is stubborn and not used to hiding her true feelings.
It feels similar yet different from SeAH.
But why on earth is a girl like that wearing her goth dress? Even wearing strange makeup.
That’s what I’m most curious about… Even if I ask you now, you’ll never tell me, right?
“Anything, if I learn it, will I become stronger?”
“I guess that’s up to you.”
“Hmm. Well, I swung it a lot. I always only used it to hit the neck.”
He opened the storage compartment and took out a machete. These days, I rarely take out my telekinesis, but the machete has been with me for the past five years.
In the past, I worked hard to sharpen the blade, but after regression, there was no need for that.
Because you can always return it to its original state.
That’s why the machete feels quite shiny.
So much so that you don’t even think he hit the heads of so many people.
“Can you… Can I take a look at that?”
“This? Of course.”
I grabbed the machete handle with my telekinetic tentacle and gently brought it in front of Aki.
Aki looks startled when the knife comes floating in the air, but accepts it while pretending to be calm.
“Can I swing it?”
“Oh, you don’t have to be so polite. It’s just a not-so-great industrial knife I picked up from a camping store.”
“No matter how much it is, you cannot use someone else’s weapon without permission.”
She already has a stubborn side, but she’s definitely stricter in that way.
“As much as you want. I would like that machete more if it was held and wielded by a pretty woman than if it was wielded by a disgusting man like me.”
Aki frowned at my words and grabbed the machete.
Then she looked slightly surprised and grabbed the handle with both hands and swung it in front of her.
“Wow…”
Haruka’s elasticity. And although I didn’t show it, I felt similar to Haruka.
Even though I’ve been holding and swinging it for years, I was surprised that that machete could move in such a trajectory.
Okay. In my hands it was just a blade. It was like a butcher’s butcher knife. Just a tool to make it easier to hit a person’s neck.
However, it was only when it was held in Aki’s hand that the sword’s appearance came to life.
A weapon that cuts through the air and cuts something. And more.
“It’s awesome. To the point where I feel sorry for the machete I’ve been swinging so wildly.”
“I… Was surprised too. Considering what you said… It’s a very good knife, isn’t it? It has a good center of gravity. The length is just right… And the weight as well.”
“That’s natural. It’s a product created by master’s and doctoral degrees. It shouldn’t be ignored as a manufactured product.”
“Uhm. That’s right. That’s right.”
And this time, draw a diagonal line.
Then move forward again, this time turning your body and drawing upward from the bottom.
The trajectory is quite beautiful. That’s definitely the movement of a learned person.
After swinging the sword a few times, Aki carefully held it up with both hands and held it out to me.
“Machete guy. He was strong.”
He took the machete with telekinesis and immediately put it in the storage. It will probably be difficult to come out again for a while.
“Are you going to do that too?”
At the same time, he takes out another wooden sword from his storage. Umm. What should I do?
Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to build that woman’s favorability?
“It’s okay. I’ll use that time to improve my skills.”
Aki offered it to me at best, but when I declined, his expression got a little worse.
But I have no intention of trying to win that woman’s favor.
I’ll do whatever I want. Because I decided that way.
Besides, I still feel like it would be a waste of time to do it now.
“Quit. Then.”
Aki puts the wooden sword back into its storage.
“So, shall we continue? Haruka?”
“Yes, Aki-san.”
So I sit next to the two women and watch them swing their swords.
Should I have done it? I felt regret after 10 minutes, but… It’s even funnier to say you’ll come and do it now.
I just have to do what I want to do. That’s better.
