“It’s a nice place.”
“huh? “It’s a good place?”
“It was a cozy and welcoming place where only the order of power existed.”
“Where did I hear you were going? “You’re going to Melkaran?”
“Yes, I miss you. “I used to visit often whenever I felt inertia.”
It was morning training.
I told Lanista that I was going to Melkaran. Because it was such an ugly place, I wanted to get some advice. However, the Lanistas called Melkaran, the worst region on the continent and a land of forbidden and murderers, a ‘good place’.
“It was a place similar to a martial forest.”
Lanista told me. Surprisingly, he had already been to Melkaran when he was ’10 years old.’ Just after he remembered his past life four years ago. After the hunting festival was over and he had defeated all the Blue Wolf Knights, he often disappeared under the pretext of looking for a swordsmanship teacher. It turns out that during that time, with the help of his older sister Melissa, he wandered around vicious areas such as Melkaran and the Grand Canyon. At the young age of ten.
“Once again… “You are truly amazing.”
Lannistar’s size was similar to that of his peers until he was ten years old, but in just a few months he grew by about 40 cm, which made him taller than an adult. Even so, she still had the same youthful appearance, but she walked around ‘Melkaran’ with the body of a boy. He survived purely because he was a ‘Lanistar’.
“Use my name in Melkaran.”
“Lanistar?”
“I was intoxicated with longing and did good deeds. “If there are people who still remember my name, they are chivalrous and will be of great help.”
Lanista said that he had been good to the people of Melcaran, and that if he made his name known as ‘Lanistar’, he would be able to receive help from many people. He has brown eyes and looks similar, so there won’t be any misunderstandings.
“huh.”
I answered yes, but I don’t know if it was a good decision.
First of all, if you name a Lanista in Melkaran, you will no longer be an outsider. So it may be possible to alleviate the hostility to some extent. But obviously, if it’s a Lannister… He must be a man who gives more grudges than grace.
I’ll have to think about it.
* * *
It would take at least a few months to leisurely take a boat across the continent to Melkaran.
Fortunately, there was a fancy ‘taxi’ at Quartz Castle that the Lanistas had used a few years ago. I found a hut in a gloomy garden. Since the Book of Raziel, older sister Melissa has been working hard on a book, mainly in her cabin.
“Knight.”
I asked Melissa with a sly attitude.
“How far is it to the entrance of Melkaran?”
“what?”
“What is that sour, is it a spatial regression magic? I heard it from Lanista. I heard there are ‘coordinates’ to get to Melkaran? “Please take me there just once, driver.”
“… Why do you want to go to Melkaran?”
There is no reason to hide it from Melissa.
I told her about the destroyed city written about in my mother’s diary and that there might be sacred relics of the Ajibika religion here. The older sister nodded and thought deeply for a moment, then she pouted her nine tails.
“So, why me?”
“huh? “There might be a holy relic.”
“I’m not interested.”
Lanista and Melissa snarled at each other, but they had one ugly thing in common.
Very moody. I didn’t think Melissa was really interested in sacred objects. She just doesn’t want to take a ‘taxi’ for free. Deep down, she thought it would be nice to get help from Melissa at Mel Karan, but it doesn’t seem like that will happen.
“Just take me to Melkaran, sister.”
“It’s time to calculate spatial regression coordinates, so I’ll finish using this.”
Melissa ignored me and went back to writing.
“I’ll pay the taxi fare.”
Only then did Melissa show interest.
“what?”
“If there is anything you want from what I have, tell me.”
Melissa was lost in thought. The longer she worried, the more I regretted it. It might be better to use the sea route even if it takes time.
“Now that I think about it again… … .”
“good.”
Melissa acted first. She rummaged through the shelves of her cabin and came back with a single yellow bean from her glass jar. And she offered me a bean.
“Swallow.”
“You’re asking me to become an experiment.”
I picked up the yellow bean and looked around. It was just an ordinary bean.
“What is this?”
“It’s a recorder.”
Sister Melissa explained. She said that if I swallow these beans, all the visual information I see with my eyes will be recorded. If it had lasted a lifetime, she would have naturally declined, but as her sister explained, only a few days of visual history would be recorded and she could spit it out again through her mouth. There is no need to worry. It’s a good thing if you put it this way.
“If the experiment is successful, I’ll give you a tip as well.”
“Are there any side effects?”
My sister just nodded without saying a word. I was a little anxious, but it would be okay.
I swallowed the yellow pea and the deal was sealed.
“… “Everything I see with my eyes is recorded, right?”
“If it’s as expected.”
I scratched my head.
Damn, I guess I have no choice but to close my eyes when doing ‘such and such’.
“Come to the garden at this time tomorrow. “We will build a passage connecting to the village near Melkaran.”
“We can’t go all the way inside Melkaran, sir.”
“I can’t go.”
“I paid the money, so please leave. There’s no way Melissa can’t do it… … .”
It was then. The fur on the nine tails stood up. Gumiho was angry. I quickly shut my mouth. If there is a reason why you can’t go, there is. My sister looked at me with a sharp gaze and left a comment.
“Don’t make fun of me.”

“What do you need?”
I thought about what to prepare as if I was going on a trip.
“Ferocious monsters, death knights, blood-soaked earth… And a frying pan.”
It didn’t seem like I needed any cooking utensils.
“young master.”
It was when I was packing my luggage into a sturdy leather bag.
Just then, Gulshi opened the door and came in.
“Girlsie, can you get me this?”
I asked Gulsey for a few things I needed, but he just stared at my face.
“Where are you going?”
“You know what?”
“If you’re going on a trip after looking through your wife’s library… devil.”
“devil?”
“Devil hunting?”
I put down my backpack for a moment and faced Gulsey. Gulshi has been her mother’s errand boy for a long time. I went in and out of the basement library last time too. Geolshi was a maid with more secrets than I thought, but that was it. She is like a friend who I have grown up with since childhood. Even without the power of Cheonan Tong, I can roughly tell what Gulsi is thinking just by her facial expressions. Gulshi is now looking at me with an expression filled with excitement. Her eyes were so vivid that I couldn’t ignore them. I understood her intentions right away.
“Why are you following me?”
“Hehe. It’s demon hunting. That’s why girlish can’t be left out.”
“What are you talking about?”
Gulshi said triumphantly.
“The cooking skills of making delicious dishes even with roadside weeds, the stamina of steel that does not tire even after climbing the mountain twice carrying four buckets of water, the eloquent speaking skills that captivate even eloquents, and the striking appearance.”
I got a little goosebumps, but I didn’t stop talking because it was fun.
“More than anything, I… ‘The eyes of a princess’ and the most outstanding intellect of this era, the disciple of a wise man whom Princess Demenia has nurtured with care since childhood!”
Gulshi looked at me with proud eyes and screamed.
“What do you think? Are you surprised?”
An unimaginable identity! She was hoping that I would be surprised.
I picked my ears and spoke in a calm voice.
“whatever.”
“yes?”
“I roughly knew it.”
After meeting Gulshi in the basement library, all the doubts I had for a while were resolved.
Even though she was my servant, she was never found when I looked for her. Since she was on the southern island, she sometimes disappeared for a few days. She was a maid at Quartz Castle and was busy running around. My mother, who was only in the recovery room, knew about what happened in the banquet hall.
Above all, the biggest proof is that Gulshi remained as Confucius’ servant without being fired for over ten years. Even if I had given permission to a guy who can’t even pour water in a bath.
How could he continue to remain Confucius’ servant?
“Hi.”
Gulshi made a strange groan and became sullen.
“I had a hard time hiding it… I wanted to keep talking… … .”
Geolshi showed exaggerated behavior, such as pounding his chest with his fist as if he was frustrated.
I sighed and said to Gulsey.
“Why do you want to follow me?”
“Gulsi now has the responsibility of being the ‘princess’s eyes’ and the duty to assist you by your side according to your wife’s will… … .”
“It’s okay, there’s no need. “I’m going alone, so don’t tell my father.”
“No!”
“It’s impossible.”
Gulshi was stubborn.
“You might need my help.”
“Are you going to Melkaran?”
When Gulshi heard the word Melkaran, she flinched and kept her mouth shut. Melkaran’s notoriety was widely known even in the Kunkan Empire. No one in their right mind would ever go to Melkaran.
“does not matter.”
But Gulshi was out of her mind.
“It’s actually good! Melkaran is infested with ‘ghosts’ and ‘monsters’. “This is an opportunity for my knowledge learned from you to shine!”
Gulshi said that she has learned a lot of knowledge about monsters since she was young. Her mother’s diary reveals that her mother is a monster hunter and treasure chaser, and she has had turbulent adventures in strange things across the continent. In addition to what she wrote in her diary, her library contained various books written by her mother. Surprisingly, she ‘claimed’ that she knew all the books in the library by heart.
Gulshi convinced me that she would be an excellent guide, saying that she knew Melcaran’s monsters and humans well and that she knew the map by heart.
“And if you’re Melkaran, you might run into the Khosan clan!”
“Kosan clan?”
“yes. Madam told me. “Gulsi is the only survivor of the Kosan clan.”
“Wait a minute, the Kosan clan are monster hunters, right?”
I once read it in my mother’s diary. Her mother said that when she was young, she stayed with a group of monster hunters called ‘Kosan’. She also obtained the remains of the werewolves and vampires she had hidden in the underground library. The Kosan clan are monster hunters, and although they are from the Western Continent, I heard that they contributed greatly to helping her father catch demons during the great war that took place in the Kunkan Empire. She says it was her mother who connected Rainberg and Kosan.
“So, you… … .”
Unfortunately, tragedy struck the Khosan clan.
It was recorded that Kosan’s clan’s destiny was to hunt monsters, and that while they were hunting a ‘bloody’ monster that they had been tracking for a long time, they were hunted again and the entire clan was exterminated. According to her mother’s diary, the newborn was the only one to survive.
The following diary was written when we were born, so we didn’t know what happened to the newborn.
“It was you.”
Gulsey was that child.
“Ma’am, you are the savior of my life and the person who gave me guidance in life. It is my duty to take care of you, Master! there is!”
“Who takes care of whom?”
“Gulshi! I’ve been training so far! Become a disciple of a wise man! To become Reinberg’s compass!”
Gulsy, who was getting more and more excited, started screaming.
“Ask anything!”
I shrugged. I had expected something from Gulcy’s confident attitude. You probably know all the books in your mother’s library and the basement library by heart even without asking, and you probably know a lot of things at the level of an encyclopedia.
“Girlsie. “One plus two?”
“three!”
“oh.”
“I told you, Girlsy is smart.”
“Then what is 342 times 214?”
“I do not know!”
I looked into Gulsey’s confident eyes for a moment and then spoke firmly.
“But that doesn’t work.”
I kicked Gulshi out and locked the door.
She will be persistent and bother me even during the night.
However, after being kicked out, Gulshi did not knock on the door or come in through the window.
Geolshi was not seen until the next day when we arrived at the garden.
You seem very disappointed, so if there is a souvenir shop in Melkaran, I should buy you a few things.
* * *
My sister’s spatial regression magic allows her to go through magic doors, even thousands of kilometers away, in just one step. Although it is said that one of the world’s greatest wizards across continents can use spatial regression magic, there is no known wizard who can move long distances as freely as Melissa.
The only downside is extreme motion sickness. The farther the distance, the worse the motion sickness becomes. It is natural to jump through space in an instant. To use an analogy, a person suffering from seasickness feels as if he or she is crossing a stormy sea in a small boat after drinking too much fatty food and alcohol.
Melkaran is located across the sea on the western continent.
“I didn’t bring a handkerchief.”
I was prepared to vomit in advance and asked Melissa for help. Melissa took her handkerchief out of her arms and handed it to him. Melissa and her older sister’s taste in handkerchiefs were as bizarre as she seemed. It is an old handkerchief with a bright red rose pattern sewn on it.
“I’ll suck it and give it to you.”
“Just take it for yourself.”
A spatial return door installed in the garden, commonly known as a ‘door to anywhere’.
I opened the door.
The desert landscape swaying beyond the door.
Once again, I realized. To think of going alone to Melkaran, a refuge for murderers, the worst land where even powerful continental powers are reluctant to set foot on. Besides, instead of being scared, I was excited. Did you say it’s Geunmukjaheuk?
I shrugged and put my left foot forward. I bit my lip and took a hard step with my right foot as the unpleasant motion sickness suddenly took over my body.
“wait. “Your companion hasn’t arrived yet, right?”
Before my body completely fell, I heard older sister Melissa’s voice.
When I looked back to see what was going on, I saw Gulsey running from afar.
“what? “I don’t need him.”
“You’ll need it, Polestar.”
Melissa laughed. The fox’s laugh was cunning. why? Why is Gulsey needed in my sister’s ‘plan’?
But I couldn’t ask questions. As soon as Gulsey jumped through the door, the environment changed in an instant.
Extreme motion sickness.
As I decorated the food I ate this morning on the barren sand of the desert, I quickly looked back.
“ah.”
Gulsi had fallen and was face down in the sand.
Ummmm!
It was a girl with her face buried in the sand and letting out a strange scream. When she screamed as if something was stuck in her throat, I hurriedly grabbed her by her hair and lifted her up. He fell and was gasping for breath with a yellow face, probably because he had vomited.
Daadaa!
I patted Gulsey on the back and unexpectedly saw the pitiful remains of the broccoli she had eaten for breakfast.
It’s clearing!
Dalbi, who was excited about something, wrinkled his nose and swore.
Gaeganera, whoever taught it taught me a really appropriate word.
The door was already closed, and there was no way to open it from this side.
“Wipe it.”
Looking at Gulsi’s face covered in sand and vomit made me feel like I was going to vomit again.
Gulshi took the handkerchief with difficulty and wiped her face with trembling hands.
* * *
It took thirty minutes to calm down.
When Gulsi got better, I said to her with a stern face.
“My head hurts, girl.”
“sorry.”
He said he was sorry, but his face was even brighter.
I thought carefully about what happened from this morning until now.
“Did you tell Melissa?”
“no! The young lady first acknowledged my duty and value, and earnestly asked me to follow you to Melkaran! Hurray!”
“Sister first? shit!”
Melissa is not stupid. Also, I’m not the type of person to do useless things. She thought Melissa needed me as a girl. Whether it was part of an experiment or some other trick, Melissa recognized the ‘value’ of Gulsey. She said Melissa sent a girl. Why, girl city?
“You’re not an ordinary guy.”
I have known Gulsey for a long time.
But what you see is not everything.
The wise man’s disciple, dagger, watching eye and listening ear.
Wasn’t it a nickname that Gulsi made up?
fantasy,
