Chapter 408
Episode 408: They are here (3)
Why are they suddenly showing up?!!? Wasn’t Meister the last time someone similar to a character appeared in a game?!
I unconsciously covered my mouth with my hand at the unexpected scene. Frederick looked puzzled and tapped me because I had withdrawn my hand from stroking his mane and covered my mouth. My hand belatedly left my mouth.
“More than half of the people who confessed to you in the first place were devil worshipers! But do you still feel sympathy for others?”
“That means they were bad guys! “Half of them were ordinary people!”
“And those ordinary people didn’t accept your confession. You idiot, give up. “There is no such thing as ‘fated love’ in this world.”
“Ugh.”
Whether I was embarrassed or not, the archers and fighters—I wonder if they were really those professions here—came quickly toward the temple.
“If you really want to get married, you should leave here and go to the back area—”
Then my gaze met the martial artist’s. strong. The shock of seeing the resemblance to a game character disappeared in an instant, and a look of wariness appeared in her eyes and mine. There was no regret whatsoever towards the opponent, but it was a caution that was engraved solely because he was strong.
“I’m sorry, Sir Job. “I was late.”
At that time, Daniel came running from inside the temple.
“Nice to meet you, brother.”
A gentle-looking man with brown hair and brown eyes was also there. Looking at the iron plate over the cloth clothes, it seems that he is not an ordinary priest, but an Inquisitor.
“It’s not too late.”
With Daniel joining, my snowball fight with the martial arts artist came to an end. I responded to Daniel first and then gave the brown-haired man a light greeting.
“Are you an acquaintance of Daniel? Nice to meet you. It is called Job. “This is Frederick.”
Purr.
“Haha, that’s cool. This is Maximoyak. “Please call me Maxie.”
“Sure, Maxi.”
Normally, we would have done something like a handshake at this point, but I have demon energy and he has divine power. Even if you shake hands, you will only end up feeling uncomfortable with each other. I ended with a verbal greeting. Perhaps because they had similar thoughts, they didn’t bother to extend their hand.
“Then shall we go?”
“Please, Maxi.”
I nodded at Maximoyac’s suggestion, while also casting my gaze towards the fighter and archer I had seen earlier. They were still looking this way, but they seemed to be no longer wary of me.
As soon as they entered the temple, we left the temple.
“I was surprised. “It’s not often that Danny makes friends.”
“Maxi.”
“You must have had a hard time dealing with Danny’s temper.”
“very. It must have been even more difficult. “The only shortcomings I have are ones that are difficult to accept.”
To be honest, it’s harder for Daniel, who has to tolerate a child who embodies his parents’ enemies, than for me. I turned it around and walked side by side.
Maximoyak looked at me with ambiguous eyes and Daniel immediately started denying it.
“Not really. You worked harder than me. “Didn’t you accept my feelings one-sidedly?”
“well. Even though I slapped you, I don’t think I ever accepted it…”
Looking back now, the conversation back then was exactly like this. ‘This body drank, but I didn’t drink and drive, so don’t be angry.’ like this.
Even after hearing that, Daniel did not get any more angry, but instead accepted and accepted it… Oh, isn’t this a Bodhisattva?
“Haha, it looks like you two are closer than I thought.”
“Does it look like that?”
“yes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Danny treat me so comfortably. “That kid has good sociability, but I guess I should say he’s good at drawing boundaries… He always had a wall around him.”
“When did I…”
“You always carried something like a fireball around your chest. “That’s how difficult it was to deal with.”
“That…”
It was a ball of fire. That must be the feeling you have towards that angry bastard who is like excrement.
I moved my lips, thinking about Daniel’s unfinished grudge.
“Still, that devil will face death soon. “It may not be a reward for your work.”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
Even if the anger dies now, the past will not change. Still, if the enemy disappears, wouldn’t at least some of the accumulated resentment disappear?
I smiled faintly, hoping that it would be at least some comfort to Daniel. Daniel also smiled wryly, perhaps remembering the anger that would soon kill him.
“Is it true that the devil dies?”
“Oh, Maxie, you don’t know.”
“It was difficult news to spread.”
Daniel summarized the story I had previously told him, hid what he wanted to hide, and told it to Maxie. Maximoyac’s expression changed to that of an astonished person.
“…To be honest, Danny, I wouldn’t have believed it if it weren’t for what you said.”
“Admit it. “Because it makes sense.”
“Actually, I still don’t completely believe it. “God…”
After speaking, Maxie stared at me with an indescribable expression. Is it true that I really received an oracle and how can that be? Those questions quickly passed through his eyes. It was an understandable shape.
“If it’s hard to believe, you can just dismiss it as a lie. “I just hope you can bear with handing me over to the Heresy Trial.”
So I slightly shook my right arm holding the reins.
“It’s unfair that I have to shoulder such a problem, but it’s even more unfair when I think about the inevitable defeat I’m going to have because of this guy.”
Maximoyak’s eyes widened when he heard what I said, and then he burst out laughing.
“All right. I still can’t believe it, but there’s no way Danny would lie to me. “Lord Job doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who would tell a lie.”
“If it seemed that way, I’m grateful.”
“Thank you. I am truly grateful. “What the Lord has accomplished is a feat that no human being has been able to accomplish.”
“…is it.”
Perhaps because he is an acquaintance of Daniel, Maxi also has a really nice personality. I smiled at his words.
“ruler! Then, let’s pick out the best restaurants and go to them for Lord Job, who has accomplished a great job with a friend he hasn’t seen in a long time!”
“Oh, Maxie. Lord Job does not eat meat. Please take note.”
“What what? If that happens, there will be fewer places to go…”
“I’m fine, so go where you wanted to go.”
“You can’t do that! It is true that there are few places that cook vegetables well, but it does not mean that there are none. “Now this way.”
Oh, a food tour guided by a local. I took a step forward with anticipation. Purr. Frederick, who had every intention of getting something, was also there.
* * *
“Archmage, what do you think so much about?”
The Inquisitor, who came out clean and fresh, asked. Towels made from precious cotton fabric shine even whiter in contrast to tanned skin or bright red hair after a long journey.
“I’m thinking about the future.”
“What happens next…?”
“To catch Satan.”
“ah.”
They came to the front line, but getting to the castle where Satan resides is another matter. The Archmage was contemplating on the table set up to find a way.
“I will help too!”
“Then I am grateful.”
It doesn’t seem like having the Inquisitor think about it together would be of much help, but the Archmage accepted her offer. Although the Inquisitor knew little, he might come up with a unique idea.
“I will tell you.”
“…?”
At that time, the person who came into the living room after the Inquisitor opened his mouth. An emotion like irritation seems to be evident from the fingertips that are drying the hair.
“I hope that from next time, you will refrain from letting more people in while others are taking a bath.”
“…oh.”
The Archmage’s mouth opened slightly when he saw Gye-myung’s expression.
“Why are you being so sensitive? “The best I can do is wash.”
“Now say that….”
“Great warrior! “Do it again next time!”
Commandment shows contempt without even frowning, and Berserk comes out behind him carrying a girl on a horse. There is a heat on the cheeks of the laughing girl that cannot be explained by warm water alone.
The Archmage seemed to know what was happening inside.
“…Be sure to pay attention next time.”
Originally, the Inquisitor and the Commandments were supposed to wash first, and the Berserk and the girl were supposed to wash second… but the problem was that the girl spilled the juice on herself while drinking it, so they were rushed in. The Archmage decided to wash those two people first from next time.
“Wizard, don’t you wash?”
“I’m going to take a shower in the evening. The bath took so long… and you should put some clothes on. “You’re going to catch a cold.”
“cold?”
“It’s hot!”
“…the person watching is cold. Please put it on.”
“That’s right! “No matter how much you stay inside, you still have to wear clothes!”
The Archmage helped the two people, who were lying down on the bed with only a towel on their naked bodies, and coaxed them into putting on a light tunic and pants. The girl didn’t have pants that fit, so she had to wear only a tunic, but it was long, so it wasn’t a big problem.
“It feels cool inside my legs!”
“You must not spread your legs…!”
“Aaaah! “It’s soft!”
Should we say that it is truly a bloodline that has survived even in the coldest lands? The girl walked around the room and the bed wearing only a thin tunic. This was even though the room was barely cool due to the heating.
“Don’t run too much. “I fall.”
“Your great warrior!”
Berserk was sprawled out on the bed, scratching his stomach, and the girl was walking around the room just enough to avoid falling.
Although it was nice to see the Archmage, it felt like he was constantly being deprived of vitality. The children were also very active.
“Even if all the frivolous things in the world were gathered together, it wouldn’t be this loud.”
“Heh heh…”
In the meantime, the commandment took up a seat at the table. Rather than having something to say to the Archmage, it seemed like he sat here because it was near the table and out of range of the girl.
“It just worked out well.”
However, considering the information she knows and what she is currently worried about, it may be a good thing.
“Do you know anything about the inside of Ma Station?”
The Archmage began preparations to catch Satan in earnest.
* * *
“I’m sorry. “Because of me, they can’t eat inside.”
“You don’t have to apologize. “Thanks to you, we are eating while looking at the scenery.”
“still.”
“it’s okay. I think it’s better because I can eat a variety of foods. “Usually, if you eat at one place, you only eat there and you don’t always move around and eat there, right?”
As long as Frederick is there, it is difficult to go inside the building and eat. It was not that there was no building with stables, but Frederick refused to do so.
So we compromised by packing food and eating it while walking down the street. It was an added bonus that my heart was filled with regret because it was an inconvenience.
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
I tried to pay as much as possible, even if only because I felt sorry. It wasn’t that difficult because I still had plenty of money left in my pocket.
“This time I…”
“Take this money.”
“Are you fighting your wits?”
“Then you just have to be agile.”
Either use quick arithmetic like me and take out a custom coin. For those of you who can’t do that, do you know how to make payments?
As if teasing me, I paid in advance and got the sandwich again. A pungent smell wafted out, perhaps because they were trying to cover up the not-so-fresh ingredients with spices. For someone like me who is used to fermented foods, the smell was quite bearable.
“This smells a bit…”
“Haha. “It’s a specialty here.”
“Are you okay sir?”
“I’m fine.”
Rather, it reminds me of Cheonggukjang and is good. I took a bite of the bread filled with something similar to beans. Although it wasn’t fresh, the light and savory taste of crushed crumbs filled my mouth.
“Oh, are you enjoying it? “It’s a food that has quite a difference in likes and dislikes.”
“There’s something like this in my hometown too. “It’s delicious.”
This is delicious. I finished the sandwich in four mouths and then licked it off my lips. Should I have one more? But it looks like I still have a house to go to.
“I can’t eat it…”
“Then I will eat it.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s a waste to throw it away.”
I took the sandwich Daniel had left after taking a bite. Frederick seemed to be interested in this, slightly sticking his head out, sniffing, and then turning his head. I had no intention of giving it away because it was bread, but I guess it wasn’t my taste anyway.
“Next is the jeonbyeongjip (jeonbyeongjip), which is made by baking a large piece of egg, filling it with vegetables, and rolling it up.”
“oh.”
Wow, that sounds delicious. I secretly swallowed the saliva in my mouth and followed Maximoyac. Maxi’s choices so far were excellent, so I had faith that this one would also be delicious.
“But there’s so much street food.”
“Oh, does it look like that?”
“It’s less compared to other cities, but….”
“It’s all because I have lost my appetite.”
And when we reached the jeonbyeong restaurant, Maxie ordered the recommended menu for us and said,
“Now that my greed has died down, I am now a little freer from storing food.”
“Ah…”
“You’ve accomplished this too.”
“…I’m embarrassed to say that.”
Actually, I could have jumped if I hadn’t been so greedy.
I accepted the freshly baked pancakes, remembering what happened then. Just looking at the steaming pancakes was appetizing.
Purr.
“no. “If you eat it now, it will burn you.”
Is it okay to eat this in the first place? I took a bite of the pancake to check the ingredients inside. The hot vegetable juice filled my mouth and made me open my mouth automatically.
“Seueup heup.”
“ha ha ha. “Isn’t it hot?”
“If you do it wrong, it’s perfect for burning the roof of your mouth.”
“after.”
It’s really hot. To cool my tongue, I slightly stuck it out of my mouth and checked the inside of the pancake. Cabbage, shredded potatoes, eggplant and cheese… I don’t think this will work.
“I don’t think you can eat it.”
Purr.
“I’ll give you corn instead.”
Phew.
“carrot.”
Phew!
“sugar beet. No more than this. “I’m getting fat.”
You already ate some greens and carrots earlier. Do you have a conscience?
I rummaged through my pockets while negotiating with Frederick.
“Puhuhuh.”
“Ahaha, you have quite the personality.”
Daniel and Maximoyac giggled as they looked at that. Do you think this is funny? funny? I’m not funny. I felt resentment as I rummaged through my pockets.
“You devil!”
And then flew away again.
“…!”
“Sir Maxie!”
“heard.”
The three of us, who are essential when hunting demons, turned our heads to one side.
