Chapter 192
Silence fell.
Adela was busy grasping the situation, looking at Miho and me alternately in her arms.
I kept my mouth shut in surprise that Miho was following someone else.
It was inevitable that the atmosphere would become awkward.
“that… … . What is he?”
Breaking through the awkward atmosphere, Adela spoke first.
The green eyes staring straight into my eyes are full of anxiety.
It seems that he is afraid of Miho, who is now on his lap.
“monster… … Joe?”
There is no animal in the world with five tails.
In other words, Miho is a monster no matter who sees it.
And monsters are the enemy of mankind and the evil of the world.
Since such a monster is currently riding on his lap, he has no choice but to be anxious.
“It’s a monster, though. It’s not dangerous at all, so you don’t have to worry.”
“… … .”
“look. Your eyes are gentle.”
With the utmost sincerity, I appealed that Miho was not a dangerous being.
But Adela’s expression did not improve at all. She is still anxious and looks like she is about to die.
“… … Did you know? That there are an average of 10 fatal accidents per year from being bitten by tamed monsters.”
It was natural.
As I said, monsters are the enemies of mankind.
Its innate ferocity cannot be suppressed even by taming.
Even with taming and tying the reins and leashes, 100% control is impossible.
As Adela said, an average of 10 people per year would lose their lives to a tamed monster.
Such a being is currently sitting on his lap and yawning. Who could not be nervous?
“Trust me. Our Miho is not a kid who will harm anyone.”
“If you go that far, that would be it… … .”
Adela looked at Miho with a slightly uneasy look in her eyes.
“My name is Miho… … did you say?”
Miho reacted to the word ‘Miho’ that just came out of Adela’s mouth.
Keep your ears upright and cry sweetly to the world.
“… … It’s cute.”
How desperate were those cries and eye smiles, Adela’s arms were disarmed in an instant.
Who is not a nine-tailed fox, bewitching people with just her cry?
Adela stared intently at Miho.
Miho’s head tilted slightly.
The expression that I don’t know why I’m just looking at it like that.
Their eye contact continued for about 10 seconds.
Then, suddenly, Miho looked away. Miho’s gaze was directed to Adela’s hand.
As Miho settles down on her lap, she stares at Adela’s right hand, which is inevitably lost and floats halfway.
Then, sooner or later, something seemed to come to mind. As it was, he placed his head in Adela’s right hand.
And then she cries cutely and rubs her face.
It was as if he wanted to be stroked.
Oh my gosh, how nasty.
Is there anyone who would not fall for that aegyo?
“… … .”
Adela’s pupils trembled even in the earthquake.
Above your head, ‘What is it? What is this cute creature?’
As expected, even Adela couldn’t stand Miho’s killer aegyo.
“Pause me. Then you will like it.”
I thought the accident had stopped because of the intense cuteness, so I gave a little bit of advice.
Only then did Adela come to her senses.
“Ah, yes… … . You can use it or stroke it, right?”
As if all wariness had completely disappeared with that, Adela slowly put her hand on Miho’s head.
And then smack.
He stroked his hair gently.
“Soft… … Yes.”
continue to babble.
Brilliant light pours from Adela’s eyes.
It’s a face that wants to die.
If you’re going to like it that much, why were you so wary?
“look. Aren’t you very gentle?”
“… … yes. I wonder why I was so nervous… … That’s nice.”
Now I started stroking it with both hands.
Her right hand strokes her hair, and with her left, she runs from her back to her tailbone.
I slowly lowered my hand like that and stroked the tail one last time.
As if he liked Adela’s touch quite a bit, Miho’s tail began to dance gently.

“Mongsil mongsil. Soft and smooth… … .”
What is this, I almost lost my soul?
Did he always like animals?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play with an animal. Seeing that you like it that much, it seems like you liked it from the beginning.
is not it? Is Miho’s charm just out of the ordinary?
The probability of the latter seems unlikely.
Miho’s charm is fatal enough to blow away even likes and dislikes.
“He… … Where did you get them from?”
“in America. We met by chance.”
I couldn’t tell the truth, so I just answered in moderation.
“The monster isn’t some kind of stray cat, but what is it that I met by chance… … .”
At my answer, Adela blurted out with a puzzled expression.
“No, rather than that, when you met in person, did you mean that you were taming yourself?”
“huh.”
“You used to do it, but now you even do the timing yourself… … .”
Taming is a high-level magic that requires considerable sense and experience.
It was natural to be surprised to hear that such magic had succeeded at once.
“I thought you wouldn’t be surprised by anything now. It surprises me like this again.”
“Something barely enough for timing.”
“It’s just timing. that word. You didn’t do it in front of the Taming Association, did you?”
“… … Of course I didn’t.”
As they are proud of the magic of taming, I don’t know what would happen if I put a word like ‘barely’ in front of the magic of taming.
Wouldn’t it run at me with a face like a beast that was wounded in pride?
maybe try to kill me
“… … but. If the timing is this perfect, it deserves the adjective ‘barely’.”
Adela looked at Miho, who was still calm, and gave a small smile.
“I’ve never seen a monster so perfectly tamed.”
A tinge flowed from Adela’s eyes. Her eyes were vivid, mixed with admiration, astonishment, and other emotions.
“It’s not even an ordinary monster, to be able to tame an out-of-rank disaster species to this extent… … . Didn’t you hear from the Taming Association? He wants to learn the secret.”
“I’m dying of annoyance because he calls me every day.”
breakfast lunch dinner. Every day, three times, I get a call asking me to pass on the secret of taming.
Thanks to you, I’m going to die of annoyance.
It’s not something that can be taught in the first place.
Because I didn’t use taming magic to tame monsters, I used mythic magic to make a divine beast my partner.
“No, more than that, how did you know it was an endangered species outside the ranks?”
“Isn’t it strange that you don’t know? Five tails in the name Miho. and a fox-like appearance. There are so many hints.”
Adela gently stroked Miho’s hair once again.
Like Miho’s soft hair, Adela’s smile became softer.
“Boy. Aren’t you the baby of a gumiho?”
“I thought you wouldn’t know because it’s a monster from ancient literature and from time to time a legend.”
“I once fell in love with studying monsters. I saw it by chance then.”
Should I say that he is the incarnation of the desire for knowledge?
When studying about monsters, it seems that they even researched ancient monsters.
“I didn’t know that it was a real monster.”
Adela’s hand stopped.
He seemed lost in his thoughts and forgot to move his hands.
Miho gently pushed her hair and urged her to continue stroking it.
Adela escaped from the gap in her thoughts due to Miho’s coercion, and stroked Miho’s head again.
‘It suits you well.’
Beauty and the Little Fox.
They were a really good pair.
‘by the way… … .’
Why does Miho follow Adela so much?
According to Asran and Mimir, they had never given their hair to anyone except for me and Master.
‘Is it because of God’s grace?’
Adela, who has absorbed the grace of God and has now acquired a talent like that of a god.
Maybe he fell in love with Adela’s talent.
‘No, that wouldn’t be it.’
If there were people with excellent magical talent, there would have been many of them in the past.
There must have been a lot especially around Master.
If Miho was to choose people according to their magical talents, then she should have followed someone.
However, Miho had never shown affection to anyone other than me and Master.
In other words, magical talent has nothing to do with Miho’s level of interest.
‘Of course, Adela’s talent is one step higher… … . It’s not like there’s such a big difference.’
It’s a bit strange to express that level of friendliness just because your talent is a little better.
Therefore, magical talent has little to do with this situation.
‘So what?’
I accelerated my thoughts while looking at Adela and Miho.
What kind of side of Adela does Miho see and like so much?
‘Miho. A nine-tailed fox is a divine being who handles spirits. A special being who sees everything in the world as a soul, regardless of inanimate or living things.’
I’m not sure, but I think Miho might be seeing something in Adela’s soul and showing that kind of interest.
‘Is there something special about Adela’s soul?’
* * *
After that, I returned to my room, took a light shower, and went straight to Mimir’s room.
And he explained everything that happened today.
“About this much?”
She told everything about what had happened with Shadow, even about Miho following Adela.
“Do you have any questions?”
“… … .”
“Mimir?”
After hearing everything, Mimir’s expression became more stern.
It was as if he had met the enemy who killed his parents right in front of his eyes.
I could tell from that expression.
‘There must be something I haven’t noticed.’
something i missed
He saw through the trap hidden in Shadow’s words.
Otherwise, Mimir would not have made such an expression.
I was so sure
“… … betrayer.”
As expected, the first words that came out of Mimir’s mouth were quite radical.
you’re a traitor
Does that mean Shadow betrayed me?
Does that mean Shadow lied to me and Mimir noticed?
My brain instantly became complicated.
“I… … I’ve been trying for 20 years!”
20 years of hard work?
It became difficult to catch the point of the conversation at once.
“Do you dare wag your tail at another woman?”
“… … huh?”
Tails to another woman… … .
huh?
“I can’t stand it anymore. you. come to work I will definitely touch you today.”
Mimir was indignant and attacked Miho.
‘I will hug Miho and indulge her head and tail!’ It was an expression that showed a determined will.
Seeing Mimir like that, Miho jumped backwards.
‘Are you going to touch my head? It’s funny.’ I snorted at her with a face that seemed to say
And then, using his tail, he patted Mimir’s cheek! hit
“profit! You’re not coming to work!”
Mimir, who had been hit by Miho’s tail, gnashed his teeth and rushed at Miho again.
However, it is not enough to keep up with Miho’s speed. The scene from earlier was repeated again.
“Come to work! You bastard! It’s not like I want too much! Lastly, you can let me pet your head and tail once!”
Mimir stomped his feet with a face that was unfair to the world.
“… … .”
Mimir blinded by jealousy and Miho playing with Mimir.
The chase between the two went on for a long time.
‘… … I was worried for nothing.’
Watching the tag team continue like that, I laughed blankly.
The chase between the two lasted for an hour.
The winner is Miho.
In the end, Mimir couldn’t even touch Miho’s body with his fingertips.
As if all energy had been exhausted, Mimir slumped on the sofa.
“I don’t know why Miho follows Adela Stewart, but I think you can trust Shadow’s suggestion. For the same reason, I think it’s right to go to Mt. … .”
It was a gloomy expression and a weak voice.
“Ah, yes… … .”
That’s how my trip to Mt. Baekdu was confirmed.
* * *
two days later.
Near the (old) 38th line near Paju.
I met Charles and was preparing to go to Mt. Baekdu.
“Wait a minute. I’ll check to see if I’m missing anything.”
“yes.”
The northern part of the Korean Peninsula, which was North Korea in the past, has now become the territory of the Republic of Korea.
Anyone can go to Pyongyang whenever they want.
However, all we can go to is Pyongyang. can’t go above it
It’s not that I can’t go because of political or social reasons.
The reason that entry above Pyongyang is prohibited is simply because the area above Pyongyang is dangerous.
‘It’s a land of monsters… … .’
The northern part of the Korean peninsula has become a land of death due to a phenomenon called the ‘Monster Parade’ that took place 17 years ago.
High-ranking monsters set up their nests in all directions, and the land was rotten under the influence of the monsters.
That is why it is called the Land of the Dead.
It is also a dangerous place that must be included if you pick the most famous area in the world.
And Mt. Baekdu is the nucleus of such a dangerous place.
It is the third most dangerous place in the world.
‘after. I’m nervous.’
As much as going to such a dangerous place, it was inevitable to be nervous.
“why? Are you nervous about going?”
Captain Charles, who came after the final inspection, smirked and stabbed my side with his elbow.
“yes. I am a little nervous.”
“what. Were you really nervous? hey my brother Do you have a secretly cute side?”
I couldn’t find any tension or anxiety in Charles’ expression.
As mercenaries play in dangerous places on a daily basis, there was no way they were already nervous.
“Don’t worry too much. Trust only this sister.”
“yes. Please.”
“Draw and draw.”
Charles laughed and patted my back.
I don’t know why, but for some reason he seems very happy.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been in the wild. It’s been a while since my blood is boiling.”
I wonder if he was the one who was reluctant to go to Mt. Baekdu.
“Then let’s go.”
Since Mt. Baekdu is a place where entry is prohibited, just entering is a chore.
Of course, using a car is impossible.
To enter Mt. Baekdu, a special method is required.
“catch.”
“yes.”
I took Charles’s outstretched hand.
“In case you don’t know, there is no such thing as a fear of heights, right?”
“doesn’t exist.”
The only way to do that was to use flight magic.
More precisely, it aims for blind spots in the air that are not detected by ground and anti-aircraft radars.
“okay. Then we will take the shortest route.”
Mana was concentrated in Charles’ body and mine.
“Hold tight!”
and the next moment.
“Wow!”
My body shot up like a missile.
