“… … .”
Annabi was looking at Kang Do-hyeon with an expressionless face.
As if he had no idea what he was talking about.
“Sir Kang Do-hyeon, I don’t think that’s important right now. This magic realm is dangerous. The flow of time is distorted.”
“It doesn’t matter. We’re going to attack it anyway.”
It was an arrogant statement, but his voice was so calm that it didn’t feel like pretense.
He glanced at Seo Kang-rim and then walked into the city.
The party members stood up one by one and muttered.
“As expected, the tea ceremony is on a different level.”
“Ah, I guess I really was born with a good destiny.”
Seo Kang-rim thought it was fortunate that Kang Do-hyeon did not hear this story.
It was because what they said was so light and funny.
‘Fate/Grand Order. Kang Do-hyeon is nothing but a masterpiece.’
Considering that the average tea master was of the Yong-Gup or Gwi-Gup rank, his rank was ridiculous.
For a human being of only the highest rank to work as a messenger, he needed to put in twice as much effort as others.
‘I was a hard worker from the beginning.’
An ordinary person with no spiritual powers or supernatural abilities.
Kang Do-hyeon spent his days immersed in all kinds of books in order to become a shaman.
Even Seo Kang-rim couldn’t guarantee how many books were in his head.
“Mr. Seo Kang-rim, I think it would be best for us to move first.”
Seo Kang-rim nodded at Annabi’s words.
A place that has not been conquered for decades in the Demonic Realm.
If he was not careful, Seo Kang-rim could also be trapped here.
As they followed Kang Do-hyeon into the city, demons appeared everywhere.
Although catching it itself was not difficult, there was no progress in the search.
“There should be a body, but I can’t see anything.”
As Annabi said, there were no survivors or corpses on the streets.
Kang Do-hyeon said after trampling and killing the still-wriggling demon.
“Considering the passage of time here, it’s not surprising that there are no corpses left behind. That’s enough time for the demons to devour the corpses.”
He spoke in a murderous tone, but his expression remained unchanged.
Annabi seemed to agree with his words and remained silent without refuting him.
“It looks like there are no survivors. I think we should prioritize conquering the Demon Realm.”
“But I can’t see the statue. I don’t think it will be easy to find.”
It was just as Annabi said.
I looked around the city, but the target statue was nowhere to be seen.
She said it as if she was slightly embarrassed.
“First of all, it would be good to at least understand the general structure of this place.”
Certainly, the interior was large and there were many buildings, making it a difficult location to search.
Seo Kang-rim heard Annabi’s words and summoned Yeong-su from the spirit world.
“Whoosh!”
Since Yo-rong is currently assigned to be Shin-soo-ah’s escort, only Linyi was summoned from the spirit world.
The party members who saw that sight let out exclamations of surprise.
“No, what is this?”
“Are you a demon? Are you a god who commands demons?”
It seemed like he didn’t even know Youngsoo existed.
Seo Kang-rim nodded roughly and then spoke to Annabi.
“First, I’ll send the report to Yeongsu and have him look into it from above. I think it’ll be easier to understand that way.”
As Seo Kang-rim gave the order, Liny rose into the air.
Liny looked at Seo Kang-rim with a brave face.
“Take a look up and let me know if anything catches your eye.”
“yes!”
Linney walked lightly and rose into the air.
Annabi looked at the sight and raised her hand.
“Then I will search the inside of the building.”
[The ability ‘Tou’s Pilot’ is activated!]
As soon as she finished speaking, magical power seemed to gather in her hand, and small toads began to pour out from there.
Before I knew it, a bunch of tows had gathered around me.
“Search the interior of the building and report any survivors, statues, or anything else suspicious.”
“Oh oh!”
“Clothes, clothes!”
The tows ran towards the building at a rapid pace.
While leaving the search to Youngsoo and Tou, the people decided to take a short break.
Seo Kang-rim moistened his dry lips with water and suddenly looked up at the sky.
‘Come to think of it, why are the gods so quiet?’
Normally, it would be noisy as soon as you entered the Demon Realm.
When Seo Kang-rim checked the free communication, a guidance message appeared.
[Currently, the connection to the free communication is disconnected.]

[The connection to the store system is currently down.]
The flow of time seemed to be disrupted and several systems seemed to be blocked.
It’s a shame that I can’t use the shop, but it’s quite comfortable not to be able to hear the voices of the gods.
Seo Kang-rim took another sip of water and turned his gaze towards Kang Do-hyeon.
‘I think I need to talk to Kang Do-hyun… … .’
Still, he seemed reluctant to admit it.
While I was racking my brain about what to do, Annabi came up to me.
“Mr. Seo Kang-rim. If it’s okay with you, wouldn’t you like to take a look around the area with me?”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
Seo Kang-rim got up from his seat and entered the alley behind him with Annabi.
Seo Kang-rim opened his mouth as he was slightly separated from the people.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“That… … Are you still thinking about joining our team?”
“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of joining the Fate Protection Agency.”
“… …Is that so?”
Annabi looked a little disappointed.
She hesitated and opened her mouth.
“I was secretly looking forward to it. That Seo Kang-rim would join our team… … .”
“… … .”
“I’ve prepared a seat for Seo Kang-rim, a welcome party, and a list of good restaurants near the Protectorate… … .”
Annabi’s voice was full of sincerity.
Seo Kang-rim looked slightly embarrassed at those words.
“Aren’t there many hunters better than me?”
“Of all the trainees I’ve ever seen, Seo Kang-rim was the best. So I really wanted him to join our team… … .”
After saying that, Annabi closed her mouth.
The look of genuine regret was evident.
“I heard that you are acquainted with Chief Kang Do-hyeon. If that is why you declined… … It is unfortunate, but even if you go to Team 1, I would like you to come to the Protectorate.”
She said with a faint smile.
“I guess I’ve become close to you because you’re in charge of education. You seem like my junior… … .”
Seo Kang-rim listened to Annabi’s story and thought that she was a very unique type.
Annabi would also know about ‘stealing fortune telling’.
Or maybe, like Team Leader Princess, it didn’t matter whether someone was a murderer or not as long as they had good skills.
“Huh, woof!”
At that moment, Liny’s crying was heard from the sky.
It looked like he had just finished his reconnaissance.
Annabi also returned to her usual expression after hearing that sound.
“I guess the reconnaissance is over. Let’s go back too.”
When I returned to where the people were gathered, Linney had arrived.
Linney jumped up and down in place, shouting.
“Whoosh!”
“Did you find something?”
“yes!”
Linney nodded and began to move her feet quickly.
As Seo Kang-rim chased after him, the rest of the people also began to follow him.
After running through the empty streets, we arrived at a fairly large mansion.
‘It’s definitely a striking place.’
The size was big, but something about it seemed different.
As I stepped inside, the sense of discomfort became even more evident.
The interior of the mansion was very clean and tidy, unlike other buildings.
As if I had skipped time alone.
“Huh, woof… … .”
Meanwhile, Linny was hanging her head like a dog and sniffing something.
Then, as if sensing something, he grabbed Seo Kang-rim’s clothes and pulled, turning his body towards the left hallway.
‘I smell something?’
Seo Kang-rim could also smell the scent overflowing from somewhere in the mansion.
As he followed the direction of the smell and opened the door, the light of the light pierced his eyes.
“Oh my gosh, this is… … !”
The party members who were following behind looked inside and their eyes widened.
The interior was a restaurant, and a banquet was being served inside.
The food was steaming as if it had just been made, and a wonderful aroma filled the restaurant.
Seo Kang-rim heard the person behind him swallowing.
It had been quite some time since I had been here, so I was starting to get hungry.
“I prefer not to eat it.”
Kang Do-hyeon spoke to the party members.
The party member flinched and smiled as if making an excuse.
“No, it looks really delicious… … .”
“It’s ridiculous to even think about such a suspicious food. It’s the perfect recipe for poisoning.”
As he said, the food served here was very suspicious.
A banquet held in the middle of a magic realm.
The party members also seemed to agree and stepped back with a look of regret.
“Still, there’s something different about this mansion. It looks worth checking out.”
Annabi said so and started searching inside the restaurant.
Other people followed her, searching here and there.
Seo Kang-rim came out because it seemed like there was no need for him to be in the restaurant.
The moment he stepped onto the stairs to search the second floor, Seo Kang-rim looked back.
“Do you have something to say?”
Kang Do-hyeon, who had been following behind, stopped dead in his tracks.
He said after a moment of silence.
“I saw the giant’s belt hanging from your body.”
It was an unexpected topic.
Seo Kang-rim couldn’t understand why Kang Do-hyeon brought up that story.
Meanwhile, Linny was looking back and forth between the two people with a bewildered expression.
“Do you know that the length of the belt of the Great Sea increases according to karma?”
“huh.”
“What on earth have you been doing since you left home?”
After leaving Seo Hwa-kyung’s house, a lot of things happened.
I had no idea where to start or what to talk about.
As Seo Kang-rim was choosing his words, two people simultaneously turned their heads toward the second floor.
Something was coming down from the dark second floor stairs.
-Gi, gigig… … .
What was on the stairs was a statue.
What made it different from ordinary statues was that it was moving.
Kang Do-hyeon immediately drew his sword.
“Statue… … Is that a condition for attack?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the statue ran towards him with a scream that sounded like it was going to tear apart.
The stone fist struck the railing, shattering it into pieces.
But that wasn’t even a threat to the Guardian of Fate.
Kang Do-hyeon’s eyes shone sharply, and the sword flew forward as sharply as his gaze.
-Kkaang!
A sharp sound rang out as swords clashed with each other.
Kang Do-hyeon frowned at the person in front of him.
“What the hell are you doing now?”
Seo Kang-rim was blocking his own sword.
In the meantime, when the statue struck Seo Kang-rim, he didn’t even dodge and was hit directly.
“Ugh… … !”
A groan escaped my mouth, uncontrollably swallowed.
Kang Do-hyeon panicked and hurriedly dragged Seo Kang-rim down.
“Are you crazy? Why did you stop me!”
“Don’t kill them. They are not demons.”
Seo Kang-rim looked at the demon standing above him while enduring the stinging pain.
“That’s a person.”
