Episode 206
Sidriel finished preparing to go straight to the Third Legion.
“I can go anytime.” “Can you give me a moment?”
Cidriel nodded silently.
Sarah Dunphy and Choi Hyun-seok moved a little further away and talked.
“Park Hyun-ah’s treatment is not something that can be done in a day or two.” “Then what should we do?”
“I think it would be better for Park Hyun-ah and I to return to the Mariott Kingdom.”
Sarah Dunphy must be with Park Hyun-ah to help her recover.
Park Hyun-ah simply described it as torture, an act of abusing the body, but actually making the vessel flexible requires a precise and systematic process.
Sarah Dunphy was the only one who knew.
“There is a need for a high-level therapist there, so it was inevitable to work with Abelson Marriott.”
Sarah Dunphy couldn’t cure Park Hyun-ah because she used magic.
In that case, the only ones left are Abelson and Rachel, but Rachel cannot stay far from Choi Hyun-seok, so she ends up having no choice but to be with Abelson.
“The problem is that it’s too dangerous for Park Hyun-ah to teleport right now.” “Hmm, flying with magic would be impossible. It would take over a month.”
Park Hyun-ah is in a situation where if she doesn’t receive treatment even for a single day, the vessel that holds her magical power will break.
Long-term travel was also difficult.
“In the end, all that’s left is the teleportation magic.” “We’ll have to wait and see if she can withstand the teleportation magic. I think it’ll be fine in about three days.”
“It’s been three days…”
Choi Hyun-seok turned his gaze away, trailing off.
He glanced at Cidriel, who was standing there blankly, and then whispered softly.
“I don’t mind… That guy over there. He looks pretty motivated. Is that okay?”
Cidreel’s face was expressionless and seemed to be devoid of any emotion, but that was only his expression.
He couldn’t stay still and kept twisting his body, glancing in this direction from time to time, as if he wanted to ask when we were leaving.
“Let me tell that girl.”
“All right.”
Sarah Dunphy approached Cidreel.
Two people talking quietly.
Looking at them, Choi Hyun-seok recalled the word ‘girl’ that Sarah Dunphy had said.
‘You’re a girl…’
Although she is said to be around 90 years old, in human years she would be in her mid to late teens, so it is not wrong to call her a girl.
However, since he looked like a handsome man on the outside, he still couldn’t get used to the fact that Cidreel was a woman.
“If you look closely, it’s definitely pretty, but…”
If you look at each and every feature, leaving aside the overall atmosphere, Cidreel was a beauty.
If I grow out my hair and change my mood, won’t the discomfort I feel from the word “girl” go away?
While I was having such random thoughts, I suddenly heard Rachel sigh.
“Oh my~ Anyway, if you’re a woman, just do it!”
For a moment, a tendon popped out from Choi Hyun-seok’s forehead, but he held it back because he didn’t want to interrupt their conversation.
After a while.
Sarah Dunphy returned, having finished her story.
“I see you understand.”
“thank god.”
Cidriel’s expression was as expressionless as before.
However, strangely, the atmosphere changed.
He sat down on the rock and stared blankly, seemingly disappointed that he couldn’t leave right away.
Choi Hyun-seok turned his gaze again and looked at Sarah Dunphy again.
“So you’re leaving in three days?” “I guess we’ll have to go back and check the progress then. I’m pretty sure of it.”
“All right.”
“In the meantime, you should take some time to rest and let your body adjust to its growth.”
“yes.”
Choi Hyun-seok had killed the Demon King and had upgraded his specs in various ways.
As Sarah Dunphy said, I thought I just needed to spend some time moving around a bit to adjust.
***
“Ugh, euaaaah-!”
Park Hyun-ah’s treatment continues.
The desperate screams continued for more than a day, so now they had become a familiar background sound.
Choi Hyun-seok was sitting on a rock, blankly staring at the sky.
‘There’s nothing to do.’
To sit still and do nothing by oneself.
This was surprisingly very painful.
Sarah Dunphy and Rachel are obsessed with Park Hyun-ah’s treatment.
Choi Hyun-seok, left alone with no one to talk to, was bored.
“Hmm…”
Thanks to this, Choi Hyun-seok’s main job became observing Sidriel.
In this situation, the only person who has the potential to be a conversation partner is Cidriel.
She, too, was spending her time blankly like Choi Hyun-seok.
The only difference is that he doesn’t move as actively as Choi Hyun-seok.
‘It looks like a plaster statue.’
Cidriel really didn’t do anything.

At first, he watched Park Hyun-ah’s treatment process with interest, but that was only for a moment.
Soon he sat down on a rock a short distance away and turned into a stone statue.
The only time she makes a sound is when the meal is over.
“I ate well.”
He bows his head in greeting, then sits down on the rock again and becomes a stone figure.
Choi Hyun-seok decided to talk to Cidriel.
‘We’ll be moving together for a while, so it’d be good to know a few things.’
Anyway, once Park Hyun-ah’s treatment is over, Sidriel and I will have to move alone.
It would be good for many reasons if we got to know each other before that.
Choi Hyun-seok carefully moved next to Cidriel.
Cidriel glanced up, then looked away again and began to stare blankly.
“Ahem, ahem!”
At Choi Hyun-seok’s cough, Cidriel turns around again.
A look that asks what is going on.
“Wouldn’t you get bored if you just stayed still like that?”
“It’s familiar.”
“But if I stay still for too long, my teeth start to hurt…”
“at all.”
Sidriel continued with a blank expression.
“My existence was not supposed to be known. That’s why I had to remain alone in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle ever since I was born.” “Continue? For the rest of my life?”
“Yes. My father came sometimes, but not for long periods of time. Most of the time, he was alone.”
Cidriel said calmly, as if it was nothing.
“So, for me, solitude is as natural as breathing.”
A girl who speaks with an indifferent tone about having spent nearly 100 years alone.
Choi Hyun-seok felt a pain in his chest for no reason.
‘I’ve lived alone my whole life, and the only person I see occasionally is my father…’
What would it be like to spend a hundred years alone?
He even killed his father, who was his only companion.
Choi Hyun-seok was also human, so he couldn’t help but feel guilty.
‘This can’t go on.’
I felt like I had to say something.
“Then what about your mother?”
“She died right after giving birth to me because she had to keep it a secret.”
“ah…”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face turned red with embarrassment, and his eyes began to roll around wildly.
‘f*ck… This isn’t it…?’
The more I talk, the more I fall into the abyss.
If things continued like this, I would feel depressed and guilty every time I saw Cidreel’s face.
‘Okay. Let’s apologize first!’
First of all, Choi Hyun-seok decided to apologize for killing the Demon King.
It was funny that the warrior would apologize like this.
I felt like I had to do this now.
“That… killing the Demon King, that is…” “You don’t need to worry about your father’s death.”
“huh?”
“My father wanted to die anyway. He was already so old that even if we left him alone, he would have died soon.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a trembling face.
‘Even the last resort failed.’
There is no way now.
He was powerless to save this depressed girl.
‘No. There’s still one left.’
At that moment, a good idea flashed through Choi Hyun-seok’s head.
He opened his inventory and checked something he had stored away in a corner.
“Hehehe…”
The secret weapon.
If this is it, then here is the demon tribe
It could blow away a girl’s depression in one go.
“Excuse me, can you follow me for a moment?”
“What’s going on?”
“I have something to show you.”
Sidriel stood up from his seat without saying anything.
Choi Hyun-seok walked into the forest with her.
“Okay, that’ll do.” “What do you want to show me?”
“this.”
Choi Hyun-seok took out a yellow lump from his inventory.
“What is this?”
“Dusevarice.”
“Two or three?”
“It means sweet greed.”
Cidriel repeated the word sweet greed with a serious expression.
“What a dangerous name.” “Dangerous? How precious is this!”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled and surrounded himself with mana.
It was to block the scent from escaping.
“Sweet Greed… Is this yellow lump precious?” “Of course. It’s a very delicious fruit.”
At the word fruit, Cidriel pretended to know.
“Ah, this is fruit. I’ve eaten fruit that my father gave me before.”
Choi Hyun-seok held out his index finger and wiggled it.
“No, no! This isn’t your typical fruit. This is the most delicious fruit in the world!”
He picked a flat rock, swept the dust off it, and carefully placed the fruit on it.
“This is really precious. I only have five.” “If it’s precious, you don’t have to give it to me. I don’t really put much meaning into eating anyways…” “Okay, sit down!”
Choi Hyun-seok pressed Cidreel’s shoulders and made her sit on the floor.
He also sat down on his haunches and carefully picked up the fruit.
“Okay, let’s divide it.”
Choi Hyun-seok swallowed hard and released a small amount of mana.
The golden fruit is cut in half.
At the same time, a tremendous fragrance spread in all directions.
“What, what is this…?”
For the first time, a proper expression appeared on Cidreel’s face.
Eyes so big they look like they’re going to pop out.
She was astonished by the dizzying scent she was smelling for the first time in her life.
“Gwa, Gwa, Gwa, Gwa, is it okay?”
“what?”
“What a scent… It’s dangerous… It’s too stimulating… Ugh!”
Choi Hyun-seok shoved a piece of fruit straight into Cidreel’s mouth.
After a moment of confusion, Cidriel’s jaw slowly moved.
Gulp-
Within a few minutes, the fruit slides smoothly down the esophagus.
Sidriel looked at Choi Hyun-seok with blank eyes.
“Uh… this is…”
“Want more?”
Sidriel didn’t answer, but nodded as if he had lost his mind.
I give him another piece and he puts it in his mouth without saying a word.
Choi Hyun-seok also took a bite.
‘Ah, this is it…’
As my eyes close, joy surges through me.
“You… said your name was Choi Hyun-seok…? Where is this place…?”
It’s a voice that’s somewhat hazy.
Choi Hyun-seok also muttered with his eyes wide open.
“This is heaven.”
“I see… This is heaven…”
Cidriel nodded with an ecstatic expression.
“Heaven. It’s the best.”
“It’s the best.”
***
“Okay, let’s stop here for today.”
As Sarah Dunphy spoke, groans came from both sides.
“f*ck… I really can’t do this.” “Ugh, Rachel is tired. She’s just a bumblebee. No, I miss the days when she was a bumblebee…”
Rachel muttered as she lay down on the rock.
“By the way, where did the warrior go?” “I don’t see the Demon King’s daughter either.” “Has something happened?”
The three looked around, but Choi Hyun-seok and Cidriel were nowhere to be seen.
“Hmm, I sense you coming from that direction.”
Rachel is connected to Choi Hyun-seok, so no matter how much he hides, she can immediately tell where he is.
“Let’s go and see for now.”
The group slowly moved in the direction she pointed.
Soon after, a strange noise began to be heard from one side.
“Hahahahahahahaha…!”
“Khek, hek, kehehe!”
The group looked at each other with serious expressions.
“what?”
“Something went wrong…”
“Increase your speed.”
The more I run, the closer I get to Choi Hyun-seok’s energy.
The strange noise also grows louder.
Finally, as they passed the giant tree, the two came into view.
“Hahahaha! Choi Hyun-seok! Heaven! You have to go to heaven!” “Wait! I’ll send you right away!”
There were two people there, a man and a woman, laughing madly with expressions loosened.
The floor was strewn with yellow bark, something familiar to Park Hyun-ah and Rachel.
“Huh? It’s not there?”
Choi Hyun-seok blinked as he was looking through his inventory.
All of the two Sevariches have disappeared.
“That’s weird. There were five of them. Where did they all go?” “Choi Hyun-seok! They’re on the floor! On the floor!” “Oh? Really? Hehehehe!” “You’re a total idiot! Hehehehehe!”
The two of them laughed for a long time, looking at the fruit peels on the floor, wondering what was so funny about it.
Sarah Dunphy looked at them both with a serious expression.
“What happened? Did you get hit by the enemy’s mind magic?”
Sarah Dunphy doesn’t know Dusevarice.
That’s why Choi Hyun-seok misunderstood that he was under a mental attack from the enemy.
“That’s strange. I don’t feel any traces of magic…”
Park Hyun-ah let out a deep sigh.
“That’s not it. The problem is the ingredients in that fruit.”
“ingredient?”
“There is something like that. Anyway, that idiot kid…”
Meanwhile, Rachel was disintegrating.
“Hero! This is fatal!”
She flew towards Choi Hyun-seok and punched him in the chest.
“Huh? Rachel?”
“You promised to eat it with me in secret!” “Hey! There’s still plenty left! Look here!” “That’s just the peel!!!”
Rachel screamed and went to the remains of the fruit.
Something catches her eye as she kneels with a blank expression.
‘That’s…’
A small amount of flesh remaining in the fruit peel.
Because Choi Hyun-seok’s mind was clouded and he was unable to peel the skin cleanly, some of the flesh remained.
Rachel swallowed.
‘Come on, have some pride!’
She is a dedicated fairy.
He is said to be an apostle of God.
I could never do such a pathetic thing as licking the fruit scraps.
At that moment, Park Hyun-ah’s angry voice was heard.
“Wake up, you little shits!”
Even when Park Hyun-ah hit the back of their heads, the two of them just kept laughing as if they were enjoying something so good.
In the meantime, Rachel carefully approached the fruit peel.
‘Mom, I’m eating it secretly… I can save face if no one finds out!’
The moment she was about to lick the flesh stuck to the peel.
“Hey! Why are you like this~”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was pushed back by Park Hyun-ah’s punch, stepped on the fruit with his foot.
Kwajik-!
The pulpy residue bursting out.
Rachel fell to her knees and screamed.
“Ah, no, no!”
It was a day when the fairies were able to save their reputation thanks to the hero who defeated the Demon King.
