Chapter 333 – Before the Storm
#333.
Early in the morning, Gaon and his party saw off Ha Jun, Joo Bi-ho, and Yoo Ji-ah at the gate.
“Then don’t go. How are you?”
“Okay. Don’t worry too much. Understand?”
“Aaaaagh! Mom!”
“Oh? Why is he crying?”
Ha-yeon burst into tears and burrowed into Yoo Ji-ah’s arms, perhaps saddened by the fact that she had to part with her family, whom she had finally reunited with.
Then Yoo Ji-ah warmly hugged Ha-yeon even though she put on an expression that said she was annoying.
“Why are you crying when you can meet right away at the gate anyway? To cry If you want to see it, you can come and see it.”
“Still… I mean, I’m anxious. I think we will break up again.”
She seems to have been traumatized by being separated from her family shortly after she became an adult.
It wasn’t something she couldn’t understand, so Yujia didn’t just push him away.
“Aww, you’ve really become a baby. It’s all because the son-in-law came or not. If you do something wrong, you should pay your respects! Huh?”
Instead, the sparks flew towards Gaon.
“… Sorry.”
“There is nothing to be sorry about. Anyway see you later Until then, Hayeon will take good care of you. Got it?”
“Of course. I will see you often.”
“That’s all right. Ha-yeon listens to you too. Mom goes.”
“… Huh. I’ll come see you on the weekend.”
After saying goodbye like that, Ha Jun and his party disappeared through the gate.
Ha-yeon stared blankly at the empty gate, then she wiped away her tears before turning back with a spirited attitude.
“Song.”
“Okay.”
Here, Gaon, thinking that it would be impossible for her to comfort her and to drag her words out, answered briefly and returned to the guild together.
Ha-yeon was a child who could do well on her own.
“Then I will go to practice again!”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. See you at lunch.”
“Yes!”
Since it is impossible to improve by physical training from the 10th grade, it is more nutritious to meditate, but in the case of Ha-yeon, if she did not move her body, she used the training room without missing a day.
After sweating all the time, her emotions would subside, so Gaon returned to his room with confidence.
He also has work to do today.
Just experimenting with the artifact’s functionality. After defeating the Kraken and getting it, work at the resort overlapped and I couldn’t take a good look at it.
Gaon took the artifact from his chest and put it on his left hand.
The artifact was in the form of a half-glove and was transparent, so the flesh could be seen through.
“I mean, it’s amazing.”
Not to mention the durability, there was almost no feeling of wearing, so I didn’t feel any difference.
Gaon opened and closed his fist repeatedly to grasp the condition, confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and immediately activated the artifact’s function.
Kuwhaaaaa
A round black hole formed on the palm of the glove, which had been transparent, and rapidly sucked in the surrounding air.
I was wondering what the limit would be.
‘It was a big deal at first.’
The first time I used it, I activated the function without thinking, and then all the things around me were sucked in and I was disappointed.
Fortunately, it was possible to spit it out again, so if it hadn’t been a joke, I don’t know if I would have had one or two palms engraved on my back.
After a while, the glove stopped inhaling only after 10 minutes.
“It’s a little less than when the Kraken was using it, but it’s still plenty.”
The characteristic of this glove is that it absorbs not only ordinary substances, but also mana. Combining this with his powers can result in usable technology.
Gaon put his hand out the window while organizing the data he had obtained.
Whoops!
And when he projected his will, compressed air was shot from the half-gloves, spreading a powerful shockwave.
It pulls something, compresses it, and shoots it out.
Much of it is in line with Gaon’s usual use of power. Probably, the compatibility with rubella is also great.
Gaon felt many ideas welling up in his head.
“Good. Let’s try this first.”
In order to invent a new technology, Gaon began absorbing mana from the magic stone using his gloves this time.
***
On a sunny summer morning, Ga-on and his party were sitting around and having a meal.
In the meantime, Isabella, whose expression had not been good since before, let out a low sigh and set her tableware down.
Then, Surin, who was keeping an eye on her nerves, asked her quietly.
“Isabella? What’s wrong? Could it be that she doesn’t like her?”
“I don’t know. I’m not really hungry for food these days. My menstrual cycle is irregular… I am not in good shape.”
“Hmm… How about getting treatment from Chorin? In fact, it may be painful.”
There is little chance that Isabella, who has mastered her magic to the highest level and has gone through her metamorphosis, will get sick.
Isabella thought so too, so she politely declined Surin’s favor.
“Are you okay. She won’t be sick. It only covers the food, but everything else is fine.”
“Still…”
However, despite Isabella’s words, Su-rin couldn’t shake her worries.
Because she thought that she might have made her own mistakes, since it was she who prepared the food.
Her eyes looking around showed her concern that everyone was forcing themselves to eat the food even though it didn’t taste good.
Then, perhaps to get rid of her unnecessary worries, Isabella raised her tableware again.
“Look at this. I don’t really like it, so I can eat it if I want to eat it… Whoops!”
And while she was bringing her meat to her mouth, she suddenly vomited and made the atmosphere at her table instantly gloomy.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Isabella, and she moved all at once to Gaon.
There is no need to think deeply about the meaning of those eyes. It must mean that you made her pregnant.
‘Nonsense!’
Gaon was shocked from head to toe as if he was frozen.
Although she did not ask Isabella about her birth control when she had sex with her, she never thought she would get pregnant.
She couldn’t believe that Isabella hadn’t taken her birth control in the first place.
Gaon asked.
“Isabella. Could it be that you didn’t use birth control?”
“Oh, no. Oops! Whoops!”
“Did you use birth control?”
“That’s it… Whoops!”
Isabella tried to answer her question, but she continued to vomit and didn’t give her an answer.
I bit my lip in nervousness, and Chorin came next to me and stroked my back as if admonishing me.
“Gaon-san, calm down. It’s not too late to listen slowly. I also need to give Isabella time to calm down.”
“Still… ! Ha… All right.”
If you are pregnant anyway, you have no choice but to give birth. Even if she said Isabella didn’t want to give birth, Gaon was going to convince her.
She did not want her own blood to see the full year and lose her life at the hands of her parents.
After she waited for a while, her nausea subsided and Isabella calmed her down.
She caressed her lower belly with her sorrowful face, inappropriately.
“Me… You are pregnant.”
“Aren’t you on birth control as well?”
“Sorry.”
“Whoa… You don’t have to be sorry. By the way, the child will be born. Even if you don’t like it, it’s useless.”
“…”
Isabella didn’t answer.
As expected, it seems difficult to take responsibility for a child born of a one-night stand.
Gaon firmly nailed it.
“I am not asking you to take responsibility. Just give birth Then I will take care of it.”
“… Really? But you won’t be abrupt either. Don’t you hate it?”
“Of course it is disconcerting. But, it’s not like I don’t have the ability to raise a child. I’ve already had two kids with Priscilla, so what does that matter? Keep quiet and listen to me.”
She is not confident that she can raise a child well, but she has no intention of turning away just because it is annoying and difficult.
She gave another notice.
However, if she did this, she would be able to accept it in moderation, but Isabella took another drink here and she asked him a nonsensical question.
“It might not be your child. What if I just came out and my skin is black?”
“No, what the fuck are you talking about? Could it be that you slept with someone other than me?”
“It is not.”
“Then stop talking like that! Because I don’t want to even imagine it.”
Gaon was disgusted and thoroughly expressed his disapproval by mobilizing double desires that he did not normally talk about.
“Puhuhhhhh!”
Then Isabella laughed.
The muscles in her face twitch awkwardly. Shaking her shoulders as if she was having a hard time holding back her laughter, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and started laughing like her madman.
All of her party gathered at her table tilted their heads at her with a question mark on her face.
And Gaon clenched her fists, recalling the number of cases that had been stored in a corner of her head since before.
He said, suppressing her anger.
“Isabella. I’m just saying this just in case, but it’s not a boring joke that could have been a lie, right?”
“What?”
“No, are you kidding?”
“Ah, how could you lie like this…”
At Gaon’s question, each member of the party laughed awkwardly and denied the truth.
Usually, Isabella was the type who didn’t joke much except for Gaon, so it was because she thought that she wouldn’t joke about such a sensitive subject.
However, that image was soon shattered by the person concerned.
Isabella, who burst into madness to the point of tears welling up in her eyes, barely stopped her laughter, and she frankly admitted her crime.
“Poop! Whoops… Sorry. In fact, it’s all lies. It was just a joke, but I didn’t know it would be taken so seriously.”
“Hey, Mr. I knew it would be like this.”
“Sister is too much!”
“Anyway, I don’t like that girl.”
Gaon clicked her tongue, thinking that she was worried for nothing, and the rest of the party also lashed out at Isabella and reprimanded her for her mistakes.
Isabella, knowing how far-reaching her own joke was, suppressed her usual temper and apologized profusely to everyone.
After such a noisy breakfast time, Gaon returned to his room and worked hard on developing new technology.
It injects and releases mana into artifacts in various ways, and builds up data by examining each reaction.
It was then.
Ugh-
There was a vibration in the bosom.
When I took out the communicator, I saw that it was shimmering with bloody magic.
It was Louisiana.
Looking at the fact that he contacted them now, rather than the time that was always set, Gaon was contacted immediately because it was an urgent matter.
“Hello? Lugiena?”
-Ah! Thank god. Get it right away Rifts are opening frequently throughout the empire. I’m mad thanks
“Isn’t that what it used to be? Are you serious?”
-Different! It’s not monsters that are coming over from the rift, it’s demons. It is also the intelligent type. I’m not sure about the information yet, but I think he wants to talk.
“Conversation…”
Gaon muttered softly.
This happened in a past life. However, the timing was different. What will happen in the next few years has already happened.
It was predicted from the time the Arch Lich appeared in the capital, but even so, it had a different meaning.
This is because it is now impossible to specify the time when the rift appeared with the memories of the previous life.
‘I can’t rely on my memory.’
If you blindly believe in information from your previous life, you may cross an irreversible river.
Of course, all of this is just a concern for later. It is right to deal with the situation from now on.
“Lugiana. Use all of Lucipeon’s abilities to secure as many demons as possible. We must hurry before the denomination.”
-Of course. I’ve already given you instructions. We even put the prize money up for grabs, so you should be able to secure it soon.
“Thank god. Thank you always. It’s reassuring to have Rugiana.”
– You do that every day, right? See you two later Then I’ll hang up.
“Good job.”
Pop.
Since I was very busy, I cut off contact with her as soon as I told her about her business.
Gaon looked down at the communicator, whose blood-colored mana was draining, then put it in her arms and gazed at the sky toward her window.
In his previous life, he was subdued by the cult for questioning and answering, but this life is different.
You must secure it and obtain new information that you did not know at the time.
It was possible enough now.
