I walked along with Shin Noya and the turtle.
I wondered how far it would go, but it didn’t go very far.
Outside the outer wall.
The location where we first entered this space. Right there.
An ordinary forest path with lots of green trees.
It is a midway point where you stop for a moment while walking along the road.
I stopped there and looked around.
‘What’s wrong?’
There didn’t seem to be any difference from other places, so I didn’t understand why they stopped there.
I was just looking around for a bit.
“How does it look?”
Shin Noya asked, looking at the turtle that was staring into the air.
At those words, the turtle stretches out his staff and waves it in the air. At that moment.
Woohoo—!!!
It feels like waves are forming in the air and causing vibrations.
I widened my eyes as I looked at it.
‘what.’
There’s something there.
I hadn’t felt it until now, but as soon as the turtle took action, I felt it.
What is that? I narrowed my eyes and looked at it intently.
“Hmm.”
The turtle groaned and waved his cane a few more times before retrieving it and striking the ground with it.
“What a mess….”
It was a sigh-filled remark.
“Jang Moon-in, I clearly told you to use it carefully. It seems you didn’t listen to me this time either.”
The turtle spoke to Shin Noya in an uncomfortable tone.
“Didn’t I tell you to handle it with great care?”
“no….”
At those words, Shin Noya made a face as if he felt wronged.
“This time, it wasn’t even my doing, so isn’t it a bit too much to suspect me right away?”
“hmm?”
The turtle makes a strange expression at those words.
“What do you mean? That you didn’t do it?”
“Yes. It’s true that I’ve been breaking the barriers more often than not…! But this isn’t something I did.”
After that, Shin Noya pointed at me with his hand.
“This time, he opened it.”
“yes?”
I reacted in surprise to those words.
Me?
“That guy?”
The turtle turns and looks at me.
“…What did I do?”
Suddenly it’s my fault? I asked in confusion, and Shin Noya added.
“Didn’t you touch the entrance when you came in here last time?”
“… What… Huh?”
I wondered what he meant. I remembered it later. There was definitely a time like that.
It seemed like Shin Noya was looking for something and felt and touched a strange part.
“What did I do with that?”
If doing a little bit of that caused some problems, wouldn’t that be strange?
He frowns as he says this.
“… Hmm.”
The turtle nods with an expression of understanding.
“So then it’s because it’s long.”
“What…? Why is it my fault?”
“You didn’t call me. Then it’s your fault.”
“What a hoot. That turtle baby is slow to speak, but his words are like dog meat.”
“What the…? This crazy thing right now.”
They are really doing some shit.
I wondered why they suddenly started fighting among themselves.
There’s no such thing as a mess like this.
Even if I just left it alone, it didn’t seem like it would end, so I had to intervene quickly.
“Hey, stop fighting… Don’t you have a reason for coming here?”
“…”
The old men who had been arguing with me suddenly became quiet.
I felt like I realized something I had forgotten.
“Yeah, you’re talking too much when you’re here to work. Just do what I tell you to do.”
Even in the midst of this, Shin Noya added a word as if he had not forgotten his temper, but the turtle paid no attention and picked up his staff again.
Of course, the expression on his face was still that of dissatisfaction. The turtle responded with actions.

Wow—!!
Something light emanated from the staff. As soon as I saw it, my body froze.
Thump-!
Again. My heart was pounding wildly.
It was the same feeling I had when I was chased by the turtle earlier.
Is it pain? No. It’s on a different level from pain. If this was just pain…
‘Because you won’t feel like you want to keep seeing it.’
You probably wanted to avoid eye contact or leave the place right away.
Thump-! Thump-!
The gaze is focused on the pounding heart.
It was as if he was showing an instinct to not miss a single thing.
at that time.
“Ra… Eura… .”
The turtle’s muttering brushed past my ears. It was so faint that I could hear it even with my heightened senses.
What are you saying?
I was curious about that, so I thought I’d lend an ear.
“after.”
The words were cut off with the turtle’s sigh. It wasn’t long.
At that moment.
Whoaaaaahh …
“…!”
A tremendous light burst out from the staff and began to surround the surrounding area. The light was so colorful that it looked like a rainbow.
The colors aren’t the only thing that’s surprising there.
‘… Amazing.’
I am amazed at the sight of the radiating light.
The eyes that had been strained cast a deep gaze on their own.
The red light seen in the depths of the eye was filled with enormous stems.
‘How did it come to be?’
Those countless stems were so dense and beautiful that it was difficult to even judge them.
Thump-! Thump-!
My heart is beating faster. What is this feeling?
I don’t know. But on the other hand, there are things I can know.
‘That’s witchcraft.’
I had a vague idea from what happened earlier, but I was able to confirm it after seeing that.
That’s witchcraft.
It is a sorcery of a very high level that I am seeing for the first time.
‘It’s different from what the Zhuge family and the gods told me.’
The North Sea, of course.
It was something completely different from the sorcery I had been trying to learn about.
I want to see more. I want to know more.
It was only after I thought about it that I realized what this strange feeling was.
‘I want to seek knowledge.’
Should I call it a passion for learning?
I wanted to dig into that witchcraft.
one.
Saaaa …
The light that had been spreading out brightly soon died down.
As soon as I saw it, a strong feeling of regret took over my body.
It was not yet.
yet.
‘I need to see more.’
I wanted to see more. I need more time to figure out what it is.
Crackling.
I feel pain in my eyes.
Is it because of the mind? Does it cause pain when you try to store so much information in the mind?
It didn’t matter. But I had to see it-.
“Get there.”
Thump.
“Huh!?”
I clutched my forehead in sudden pain. When I looked up to see what it was, it was a turtle poking me in the forehead with its cane.
I looked at the turtle, touching my tingling forehead.
“I completely understand how you feel, but it’s too much.”
“…”
The turtle seemed to know what I was doing.
“turtle….”
Bang-!
“Ugh!?”
This time the cane struck the crown of his head.
The strange thing is, I clearly blocked it with my hand, but it went through and hit my scalp.
“That old man is enough, so how can you call me a turtle? How presumptuous.”
I thought it would be okay since Shin Noya said it was a turtle, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
“… Then, what should I call you?”
“Don’t call me.”
“yes…?”
“The name I once had has long since been abandoned. What I once gained has long since been lost. Don’t call me.”
“Then just call me a turtle.”
“… long sentence… .”
“If you don’t even know how to call me when I say I want to, then I can call you whatever I want.”
“…”
The turtle cursed Noya with his eyes, but he did not spit out any negative words.
Does that mean I can do whatever I want?
Or maybe they just don’t care since they won’t be calling anyway.
I couldn’t figure it out.
The turtle quickly looked annoyed and tired, waved his cane roughly, and turned away.
“I’m done with work, so I’ll be going now.”
“Already? It wasn’t something you did roughly?”
The turtle looks at Noya’s words with a glare.
“I’ve made it much more detailed than last time, so there shouldn’t be any problems for three months. Of course, that is, as long as you don’t do anything useless again.”
“Um… So does that mean I’ll have to fix it again soon?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Farming is farming.”
Shin Noya said with a giggle. The turtle sighed deeply at this.
“…I’m going to go now-.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Noya stops the turtle from going again. The turtle’s whiskers tremble at those words.
“What now?”
“Before you go, let me do one more thing for you.”
“Is this the end of your request? I have no intention of accepting any more-.”
“Add one month of plum tea.”
“Just listen in and see.”
It was a rather greedy conversation.
At the turtle’s words, Shin Noya smiled and pointed towards me and the Heavenly Horse.
“Please do ‘that’ for them.”
that?
The turtle looks at Shin Noya as if it doesn’t like something about what he said.
“Long story.”
“huh?”
“I thought I just warned you not to do anything useless.”
“Hey. What do you mean? What useless thing am I doing?”
Noya waved his hand at the turtle’s words, as if to say that it was nonsense.
“I’m just preparing for the unexpected.”
“…”
“I think you know that this is something that needs to be done, right? Don’t act so indifferently and do it quickly. We’re both busy, so wouldn’t it be better if we could finish it quickly?”
“You damn bastard….”
“what?”
“I said you were a son of a bitch.”
“I tried to pretend not to hear….”
Shin Noya scratches his nose awkwardly.
I felt really sick when I saw that.
‘It’s really nice to see you being treated like this.’
Whatever it was, it was so good.
“Hey, you have strange eyes.”
“My eyes are originally like this.”
“No… It’s even more shitty than usual…?”
“Who is pointing out who with their eyes?”
“What, Inma?”
“It’s a compliment that you have handsome eyes.”
I can’t believe this gentleman, whose eyes are just as fierce as mine.
Anyway, he’s really quick on his feet.
“Ah, anyway, do it quickly. Do you want to see me making a fuss?”
“What’s the point of throwing a tantrum when you’re all old? What’s the point of throwing a tantrum? Are you just going to cause a ruckus on the floor?”
“Then, we should cause a ruckus. At your place.”
“…”
The turtle’s expression instantly rotted away.
On the contrary, I was impressed when I heard Noya’s words.
‘Hey.’
The level of bullying is incredibly bizarre.
How can he be so threatening, just like his temper?
I respect you. This is not an empty remark, I mean it. Isn’t that something worth learning?
I nodded my head as I thought about that.
‘I should use it next time too.’
I was sincere.
