Episode 238
3.
Sigh-
Black water swirled around the Golden Silk. Maybe not water but a shadow.
Whether it is the water that comes into contact first at birth or the shadow that will drag you around until you die, it is a perfect way to announce birth.
[The box of the phalanx dragon is activated.]
Water… … The shadow… … The water-shadow suddenly completely enveloped the Golden Silk. Ssuk, ssssuk, the sound of water shadows swirling around continued to be heard inside the cocoon.
And then it started to get smaller.
The cocoon surrounding the Golden Silk grew smaller and smaller, until it finally collapsed to the size of a child’s toy bell. On my palm, a bead was placed, as soft as water, but as pitch black as a shadow.
“…….”
That small thing is the existence of Sylvia Evanail.
I held the bead with one hand, slowly, politely, opened my mouth, and dropped it. Like putting a cherry on a cake into your mouth.
“…….”
Everyone in the hall was watching me and getting nervous.
In their eyes, I am neither Ivansia’s companion nor the leader of the Demonic Cult. I was a demigod with power.
While they watched with bated breath as the demigod’s miracle unfolded, I just gritted my teeth.
Mulkyung.
He chewed the beads and muttered. Of course, the taste of the beads was different from that of cherries. Cherries are sweet. It has a sour aftertaste. But the more you chew this bead, the existence of Sylvia Evanail, the more you chew it. The more you bite… … It tasted like sad rainwater.
– Poetry, Lady Sylvia.
-Keep in mind. You are also a dog for someone.
-butler! What are you doing, where are you going!?
My memories are fragmented.
Every time I chew a marble, memories burst forth like popcorn crumbs.
“hmm.”
I swallowed the memory of the Golden Silk that I had bitten into small pieces. And then, in one gulp, I swallowed once more. Human life is too big or too squishy to swallow in one go.
The Golden Silk was on the squishy side. Like bean jelly made too tough.
I steadily, really steadily, devoured the existence of the Golden Silk.
[The box of the phalanx dragon has been completed.]
and.
“Fuuuuu…….”
I exhaled slowly. The breath I just exhaled had mass. It had weight. It even had a color; it was a breath as black as poisonous smoke.
In the dark fog, there were two eyes shining like a beast.
[The apostle of ‘The Cow Harvesting Ruins’ appears!]
The tower called her eyes by their old name.
But it was too loose an echo to embrace her now.
“Sylvia Evanail.”
“…….”
One who regains form from breath.
It is too much to call it reincarnation, and it is too grand to call it transformation. If I had to say it, it is transformation. The one who had once died changed and knelt before me.
“Is there a new name you want to have?”
“… … doesn’t exist. I want to live as I was called, as I was called. Rather… … Me, me. What should I call you?”
There was awe on the Golden Silk’s face.
It was natural.
From her perspective, I have now brought myself back from the dead.
Using the memories of the white ghosts stored in the skill called [Reincarnation of White Ghosts], I compressed the memories into a box with [Phalange Dragon’s Box] and transplanted them into my body. Now I can revive the Golden Silk whenever I want.
No matter how much he was a man who played around with magic and gods, this was clearly in the realm of miracles.
“Wealth, resurrection is truly proof of divinity. As before, I just felt it was too inappropriate to call her Lady Ivansia… … .”
“Head of the family.”
“yes?”
“You can call me go from now on. At official occasions, that is. In private, it doesn’t matter if you call me Gongja Kim, Mr. Gongja, or Mr. Gongja. But when a war or battle breaks out, call me matriarch.”
“…….”
I slowly got up.
Although it was simply a matter of straightening my bent back, I felt like an animal that had finally woken up after a long winter’s sleep. If I felt that way, many people watching me must have felt that way too.
“Listen to me.”
I chanted with an aura in my voice.
“Family has two meanings. One is family, the other is clan. Raviel and I are a unique family. All the beings who come to me in this world become my family… … “That is my ideal.”
If only I could love someone else like I love Raviel.
If there was even a possibility of accomplishing the impossible.
“Esther.”
“Ah, yes, Jugu… … father.”
Esther heard my call and immediately ran over and got down on one knee. When I saw that, I smiled slightly and patted Esther’s head.
“This is it.”
“… … yes?”
“Even if Esther calls me father and I call her daughter, [a family] is not magically created from that moment. Look, Esther. “Where’s the little girl who gets down on one knee with her daddy?”
“ah,”
Esther was embarrassed.
“This is, no matter how much the relationship between parents and children, if the parents are in the position of king, the child must fulfill the duties of a subject as well as a child, so there is no choice… … !”
“It’s okay.”

I laughed.
“Because we’re all just not close enough to each other.”
“… … father?”
“I am immature as someone’s father. Esthel, you’ve never been a daughter either so she won’t know what it’s like. So we haven’t reached family yet. “We don’t know yet what kind of father he will be and what kind of daughter he will be.”
The night wind blew.
Ten years ago, a wind like this blew through an orphanage outside the tower.
It was blowing.
“There’s a lot we still don’t know.”
It is not decided what kind of presence each will be to each other.
“We can’t be called a family yet.”
We’ve only just stood at the starting line.
“If we ignore that and think that [we are family] or [we are close like a family], one day those thoughts themselves will hold us back like shackles. [Even though we were family, I actually didn’t know anything about the other person]. [We are family, so why can’t we do this much?] “Such grief will follow.”
It is beautiful when the mind goes ahead.
But the heart is more beautiful when it supports actions from behind.
In front of all of us orphans, the director said that.
“we… … .”
One day, with a tired look on my face, I recited what he said.
“We understand each other as much as we want to understand the parts we understand, and we do not understand the parts we are told not to understand as if we were told not to understand them. What do you want? What is a habit? What is the final voice you want to leave in this world? Why do you love sunsets… … .”
I slowly recited the signs of love.
“Until they are known between us, until we know, we are not [family] yet.”
I looked around one by one at the demon lord who wanted to destroy the world, the church members from eternal winter, and the noble daughter who cursed people.
“We are people trying to be a family with each other.”
Director.
“Family is not completed or ended with the word ‘family.’ Family is a relationship. It’s the limit of a relationship. We promise to work hard for each other. “It is difficult to care for each other, and it is even more difficult to make an effort, so how can a family be created easily?”
okay.
“It will take a lot of effort.”
We will fight a lot.
We can do it.
“Until then— let’s become one [family] instead of taking on the fault of being a family.”
Esther, whose head was being stroked, responded to my declaration.
Her ears perked up.
“Father… … sir. If you say it’s a family name… ?”
“Each family has its own position and role. The chamberlain is responsible for the hygiene and welfare of the family, and cooks when the family members are hungry.”
Just as the director assigned each of us a role.
In the end, people just do what they have learned and try to get a little better there.
I looked at Esther and spoke seriously.
“The eldest daughter is usually the heir. While receiving training for the successor, the eldest daughter stepped in and took charge of the dance and social gatherings when the head of the family was unable to entertain her guests. Esther. “You are the eldest daughter of our family, so you will be in charge of many things in the future.”
“…….”
“Warriors, on the other hand, protect the safety of their families. “We protect our family members from being kidnapped by evildoers, and we go out and fight when there are forces that dare to destroy our family.”
night sky.
Church members who are precious to me are melting into the darkness of the night. The warriors sit here and there on the wall, under the wall, in the courtyard, and on the main floor, looking up at me.
“I will try to be family to you.”
Among them, not a single one has mixed blood.
“Until that day comes, let’s become a family first.”
We will be able to care for each other more than anyone else.
I’ve been hurt more than anyone else, I’ve hated humans, I’ve been betrayed by the world, I’ve seen destruction, and yet, somehow, I arrived here, and somehow, we met like this.
I opened my mouth.
“Four Demon Lords.”
“yes!”
In the dark corner of the mansion, the Demon Cult’s elite gang gathered in front of me, striking in all four directions.
Among them, the eldest, Blood Demon, opened his mouth.
“Please speak, Xiaoqiao…” … .”
The blood demon’s handsome forehead was wrinkled. To put it nicely, he is a principled person. To put it in a bad way, he was stubborn and disciplined the church members as a bodyguard who protected his teacher from the closest quarters. Although he was tall and handsome, he was an old man.
He thought for a moment, then changed his name as if sighing.
“… … “Matriarch.”
“hmm.”
“We can just be used as tools. Sogyoju… … No, the head of the family has the right heart. Even if we are used as tools, there will never be a day when we feel ashamed or regret. “If you admire it for being a well-forged sword, that’s enough.”
“Master was like a mother to me.”
“…….”
“To you, Master must have meant more than mother.”
“…….”
“Blood Demon.”
I bent down and covered the Blood Demon’s arms with both my hands.
“We lost someone who was like a mother to us all. Isn’t that right?”
“… … Yes, it is.”
“So we are brothers.”
I said.
“People do not become one by what they have, but by what they have lost. That is our Macheon doctrine. “If anything, we are certainly saddened by the loss of our Master.”
“…….”
“We talk more, try to understand more, get to know each other’s boundaries, sometimes become a dog to each other.”
Even more so now.
Much more than now.
“You will become much more beautiful and happier.”
“…….”
“Until that day comes, I will be the head of this family.”
The Blood Demon opened his dry lips.
“Yes, matriarch.”
“I entrust the family’s military affairs to the Blood Demon. Your position is deputy military officer. “I will soon appoint another person as military commander, so assist the military commander as a deputy.”
“yes! “Matriarch!”
I turned my head.
“Uburka!”
“Hmm.”
Cooung.
When Uburka got up from the main hall and took a step, the courtyard shook slightly. By this time, Uburka had controlled the weight of his body by hoarding his auras himself. Now that I was called, Uburka released all his hidden energy.
“Did you call me? “Abby.”
There were gasps of fear here and there.
Members of the Demonic Cult. Those who have now become warriors of my family have guessed what level Uburka has reached.
Uburka is a monster.
A martial artist who underwent a complete transformation when he was young and then turned into a half-romaniac when he was old. The strongest warrior in the history of the Jeongjok tribe. If time passes and opportunity is given, we may get a glimpse of the level that our teacher once tread. The warriors of my family noticed this and became nervous.
While all the warriors were tense, I smiled.
“You are my son.”
“Ugor. right.”
“I guess my brain has turned into an idiot these days, but I feel like I’m falling in love and trying to confess to everyone I meet…” … .”
“I think you forgot my constellation name, Abby. Do you want to get hit by a bastard?”
[The constellation ‘Muscle Pig Who Dreams of Infidelity’ threatens you.]
Ahaha.
I laughed a little more.
“are you okay. Even as an adolescent, my son is cool. My dad has only been in a relationship once, but didn’t that one time lead him to marry the best person in the universe? In terms of cost-effectiveness, I am already the king of dating. “I’d like to consult with Abby at any time.”
“Abby’s case is so special, so special, I don’t think it can be used as a reference at all… . Ugh. “If there’s anything to talk about, I’ll talk about it.”
“okay. “You are my eldest son.”
I nodded.
“He is a stronger warrior than anyone I know.”
“…….”
Uburka looked down at me.
“How many times have you challenged Abby and lost?”
“I lost hundreds of times to get one victory against Esther. “The number of defeats is just a decoration that makes the victory more beautiful.”
“Can I beat Abby someday?”
“I believe in your talent, I believe in your hard work, and I believe in your will. “You are the most perfect warrior in the world.”
“…….”
“Please become the warrior chief of my family.”
I placed my palm on the back of Uburka’s large hand.
“When we must fight, come from the front, lead us with me. You have learned the Demon Heavenly Art. Not only did I learn it, I mastered it. “You have reached the pinnacle of divine skill after me, so the warriors of the family will gladly obey your commands.”
The warriors’ breathing became a little quieter.
This may be because fear has diminished and expectations have flowed in.
“I modified the Demon Heavenly God’s Art and created the Demon Heavenly Demonic Technique, which sublimates it into the dance and song of hundreds of people, not just one person’s sword. Learn it. You will learn it well. Learn it and teach it to the warriors. “I will teach you well.”
“…….”
“My worthy son. Uburka.”
terup.
Uburka lifted his other hand and covered the back of my hand.
The son, who still looked young despite being a giant, nodded.
“I will become my father’s commander.”
And I swore.
“I dare you to come here. I will not forgive those who try to destroy our family. I will protect my father and those who are precious to him, and I will work hard to make them also precious to me. As long as my father loves me, I too will love the world.”
I smiled.
Thank you.
I was born an orphan, and you were born with albinism, but now I have people around me who love me, just as I don’t know why you hate the sun.
In the future, we will become something a little different.
I will prove something to this world.
“…….”
I also remembered the names of the hundred ghosts that had not yet been summoned.
The scent, hair, and eyes of that person. I recalled the hint of a wandering being in that person’s scent, the traces of wounds hidden between the textures of the hair, and a buried past in the pale, expressionless eyes.
“Come out.”
I called what came to mind.
[Activates the skill.]
The shadow rumbled.
A hand reached out, bubbling from there, and soon hair, face, and body came out. The white ghost took a small breath.
“Whoa.”
It was a being with scent, hair, and eyes just as I imagined.
As Raviel’s distant ancestor, he resembled Raviel, and it was very easy to think of someone who resembled Raviel.
“Did you call me?”
I nodded.
And called the person’s name.
“Kim Yul.”
You too will mean a little more to me.
