Hoyeon, who was sitting in the corner and feeling sullen, suddenly felt a strange energy coming from the ‘human woman’.
‘Young woman?’
It was a very evil energy, a dirty energy coming from monsters who worship greed. Hoyeon soon realized that ‘the one guided by the red thread’ was fascinated by the evil temptress. That was when her tail fluffed up and she opened her mouth to warn.
[Shh.]
An indescribable being, yet very familiar.
An extraordinary being who I thought might be ‘Yoseon’ appeared in front of me.
The blue-haired girl said, placing her index finger on Hoenn’s lips.
[Pretend not to notice.]
“… beautiful person?”
Hoyeon thought about saving the person who was possessed by the enchantress, and then he looked into the eyes of the person guided by the red thread. The man’s eyes were too clear to be mesmerized. It was so clear and vast that it seemed as if it contained an endless sea. The depth was so frightening that Hoyeon closed his eyes without realizing it.

It was so much fun talking with her. Maybe it wouldn’t be that difficult to find the person she was meant to be with. Well, that would be absolutely impossible for that damn bitch who didn’t even ask my name even after two hours.
My body feels tired. The woman laughed as she fell on the table, knocking over her food bowl.
“Ho Ho! This is my first time seeing such a harsh person! “It takes four bowls of Cheonhwa poison to collapse!”
The woman soared. I looked at the woman standing well above my eye level. Her body, hidden beneath her bathrobe, was revealed. Her legs were missing. She is a snake, with long, smooth scales. Soon a snake crawled out from under the ground. The woman was the tail of a snake. The main body is the huge snake that was scolded in the flower garden.
“Oh ho ho! It’s delicious, it’s delicious! As a member of the Yosa tribe, there is no prey more precious than the human race!”
It was pretty for a bait.
The snake opens its mouth wide.
The day I was poisoned, I rushed to swallow it in one bite.
I stretched out my hand.
“huh?”
The woman was embarrassed.
I think the poison was a severe paralyzing poison so I couldn’t move.
“Wait, stop!”
Are the heads and tails playing separately? The woman was embarrassed, but the snake’s head rushed forward regardless. I reached out and picked up the weapon that was lying next to the table. And I stretched the blade as I imagined. Long enough to eat snake skewers-
“Kyaahhhhh!”
The blade that pierced the snake’s head and extended all the way to its ‘tail’ rushed mercilessly like a wasp’s sting. The woman had to witness the catastrophe as the snake’s head and body were torn apart one after another until her own head was pierced through. There was nowhere for her to run, not even her struggles or her tail.
“fat… Save me! Save me… Wow-”
Eventually the screaming stopped. I looked at the blade protruding from the top of my head and slowly lowered my sword. Looking at the dead woman with a horrified expression, I picked a few daffodils growing on the scales of a flower snake and sprinkled them on her face. It was the bare minimum of respect for the dead. I immediately cut the snake’s body apart. I knew ‘where’ ‘it’ was. It was as easy as distinguishing colors. I split the flesh and removed the dark blue stone embedded in the snake’s heart.
I immediately picked up the stone and handed it to Hoyeon, who was embarrassed.
“ruler.”
“Hi-”
Hoyeon, who had hiccups a few times, calmly took the stone and ate it like last time. The tail became larger and fuller. Although he still had the face of a child, he seemed to have grown a little in height. I don’t know what the mechanism is. However, when Hoyeon ate a special stone that collected ‘spirit’, as they say, which can be obtained from some youkai, he grew as rapidly as he does now. Seeing as the stone obtained by hitting the head of a fish is of no use to Hoyeon, not all spirit stones are like that.
There are those that are helpful to Hoyeon and those that are not.
And I knew how to tell them apart.
“also.”
I knew it intuitively from the moment I first saw the flower snake. That monster has the power to make Hoyeon grow like a giant centipede. However, I am not a psychopath and I had no intention of killing a favored target for power. It just made them let their guard down and made them their own prey by wagging their tails. He tried to kill me as if he had been waiting for it, and he met with such terrible results.
“It’s working.”
“It’s the energy of a phantom demon. Strengthening the noble family… but… … ! “How did you know that that fairy had the energy of a phantom demon?”
“I just thought I knew.”
Why do you know? Well, it must be a feature that was installed during modification.
I decided to take it easy. Now that my memories have not returned, this question is trivial.
“if… “Did you get the spirit stone on purpose?”
“Are you such a nuisance? Still, it’s better now than when I was a little kid. I thought that if I fed it energy stones like I did with the centipede, it would grow even more. “The problem was finding out whether he was a bad bastard or not, but it worked out.”
“So you were acting for me?”
“I was pretending to be possessed. Unfortunately, the beauty world doesn’t work for me. “I like 2D better.”
“2D… … ? “Huh!”
Although his body has grown, he remains the same as a crybaby. Hoyeon jumped up to see her touched face.
“I suspected my brother without even knowing it! “I’m an idiot!”
Hoyeon hugged me and cried.
Because of this, the front island became wet. My solar plexus became warm and I didn’t feel very good. However, I couldn’t just ignore the crying Ho-yeon, so I quietly waited for him to calm down. However, it went from being lukewarm to getting warmer and hot enough to burn. Are his tears like lava?
“Hey, wait a minute.”
I realized late that it wasn’t because of Hoenn. My stomach is hot. My stomach was boiling, as if I had enteritis. Feeling an unbearable feeling of nausea, I pushed Hoyeon away and quickly turned my head away.
“Ugh-!”
What was spit out was a sticky liquid the color of petroleum. I felt slightly dizzy as I watched the liquid I vomited melt the wooden plank in an instant. The poison that the flower snake fed me was more than I expected… It seems to have been much more poisonous. How on earth was my body modified to withstand a poison that could instantly melt a tree? If it were an ordinary human being, the esophagus would have burned and all internal organs would have melted.
“It’s okay?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Hoyeon’s concerns.
“It’s okay because I spit it out.”
I knew that only rice was poisonous among foods. She couldn’t tell by smell. It looked like delicious cooked rice. But I saw ‘color’. It was a strange experience. It was obviously white rice to the eye, but I saw the color of poison in the rice. It was an indescribable color, so at first I thought I had seen something in vain.
It was a good thing that I didn’t feed Hoyeon.
“Ahh!”
Hoyeon was scared and fell while checking the gaping hole. When I checked to see what was happening, I found that the poison had completely melted the floorboards and even the stones piled underneath them. It was scary, but I pretended to be strong and spoke for no reason.
“haha. “It was a huge poison.”
Hoyeon looked at me with an astonished face. The guy’s eyes were shaking left and right.
“I thought you were human… How did you survive the poison? “If it’s that toxic, even the stomach of the old Toad of Mt. Gaeum wouldn’t be able to withstand it!”
I answered confidently, patting my stomach.
“just! “It seemed like it could be digested!”

“… “Didn’t you know that?”
“I thought it was poison. Still, I thought it would be okay to eat it.”
“I’m not even sure… … .”
Hoyeon got angry.
“Don’t do that! “It’s dangerous!”
Then I cried again.
“Then what if I die? Argh-!”
I didn’t mean to cry.
While I was trying to comfort him, I just stood there and quietly observed Hoyeon crying.
It’s strange. Hoyeon’s sad cries were real, but I somehow felt unbearably awkward. That doesn’t mean his tears are fake. The problem is just me accepting it. what? Every time I saw Ho-yeon crying, I felt like I was seeing something I should never see.
[Youkai Melissa is so cute! right?]
Dalby appeared and smiled.
[When we get back, let’s make fun of him for being a crybaby! Uhehe!]
I couldn’t understand Dalbi’s words, though.
I instinctively thought it was better not to do that.
* * *
From a mossy green trash heap, Hoyeon found an incense stick that was taller than him. This was not a commonly known artificial scent, but a scent that grew naturally like plants, and was a ‘natural scent’ used during ceremonies. While I was waiting in front of the crocodile-headed stone statue, I buried the long incense stick that Ho-yeon gave me in the dirt. Hoyeon had some small talents, and starting fire was one of them. As soon as the fire was lit, a musty smell of incense rose. Hoyeon bowed deeply towards the stone statue and prayed.
“Deukbul Arrival Deukgong Construction… Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… … .”
It is said that the stone statue at the entrance, which is a sign announcing the Great Mother’s domain, is a statue of the arrival of Deukbul.
It is a Buddha statue containing the wishes of monsters praying for Buddha to attain enlightenment.
Ho-yeon prayed to the Buddha statue, but after saying, ‘Deuk-bul arrives, Deuk-gong-shi-gong’, he said blah-blah-blah. An expression that prolongs words is used in prayer. He was dumbfounded and asked me about it, but he said roughly because he didn’t know the details of the prayer. He confidently said that immortals are magical beings, so they would understand if I told him this.
Burning incense at the Buddha statue was not just for praying.
Ho-yeon said that since he had shown courtesy, his godmother would soon notice and come visit him.
We sat quietly in front of the Buddha statue and waited until our godmother Joo Joo came to meet us.
It was definitely the godmother’s territory, so there were no miscellaneous people to be seen.
“When are you coming?”
But even as time passed, there was no sign of it coming. I scratched her thighs, just watching her scent burn away. boring. As it stopped moving like a rock, the forest became surprisingly quiet. Hoyeon couldn’t stand it anymore and frequently lowered his head and dozed off. It was when all the incense had finally burned out.
There was a turquoise fog. The fog enveloped the surroundings as if they were alive.
Blue-green worms bloomed from crevices in the ground, trees, and even the river and sky.
The fog quickly encroached on the forest. I grabbed the sword and put it down again.
Beyond the thick fog that could not be seen even an inch in front, something huge and new appeared.
Hoyeon shouted in surprise.
“You’re here!”
He slowly, leisurely broke through the fog and appeared in front of us.
It was a huge spider with sharp legs like spears. It was bigger than a giant tree. However, the spider did not even harm a single blade of grass while moving its huge body. The giant spider finally revealed itself. I greeted him with sincerity.
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
When is it an honor for me to see someone who is not even a monster? When I heard about the youkai called Godmother from Hoyeon, I just thought it was a good youkai and had no further impressions. But the giant spider has a pair of huge blue-green eyes and two pairs of smaller eyes next to it. Looking at the six eyeballs, I understood why he was called ‘boss’.
The youkai I’ve met so far have no ‘majesty’. The fish-headed guy who called himself the boss was just disgusting. But as soon as I saw him, I knew. I didn’t feel disgusted by his disgusting appearance. It was like seeing a magnificent natural scenery. He is not a harmful being. However, he is not someone who can be ignored. The majesty that resides is simply majestic.
The giant spider said.
[It was hard to get to Mt. Myogongsan.]
The tone was soft and kind.
[The child of a close friend, and the indescribable being who took care of him. No need to worry anymore. Cheongsujaseon Haeju, the leader of the hundred ghosts in Bansa-dong, will keep his friend’s promise and protect you.]
