[173] Eoreumuri (4)
For four days after meeting Frau, Lee Seong-min and his party waited at Cheongru for the day they would meet Yana.
Frau said he had sent a message to Yana, but added that it would be some time before an answer came back.
I don’t know what was going on, but Yana seemed to be quite busy.
“That aside, you’re pretty good.”
On the fourth night, Frau called Lee Seong-min into the room and spoke to him with a strange smile.
She was sitting seductively on the bed, wearing a thin, see-through slip.
“You said you learned martial arts, right? Then your strength will be good. “How are you feeling?”
Frau raises a bottle and speaks. At those words, Lee Seong-min took a step back, breaking into a cold sweat.
“… … “I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
“Do not lie. What do you not know? Even though I know it clearly. “How about we take care of each other and have some fun together?”
Seongmin Lee swallowed his saliva.
It was true that Frau was beautiful, but strangely enough, Lee Seong-min had no desire to sleep with Frau.
It wasn’t because I was suppressing my desires with reason, I just didn’t want to do that.
The image of Frau shouting curses while inviting evil spirits into his body still lingered in Lee Seong-min’s mind.
“Bland guy.”
Frau grumbled while looking at Lee Seong-min’s embarrassed face.
It wasn’t unpleasant.
Rather, Frau thought Lee Sung-min, who acted like a shy bachelor, was cute.
Perhaps that was why Frau showed even more enthusiasm as he licked his plump lips.
“If you feel embarrassed, just turn off the light and lie still in bed. “This sister will take care of it.”
“No, I just don’t want to…” … .”
“No matter what they say, a male becomes an animal when his lower body stands upright. “Do you think this sister doesn’t know that?”
“I don’t like what I don’t like.”
“What a strange guy. why? Is there any other girl you gave your heart to? Is it because of guilt? Whoa, don’t worry. This woman has a heavy mouth. “Do you really think that people in the neighborhood will spread rumors that I ate Gwichang?”
Frau said with a chuckle. Seongmin Lee tapped his cheek with his hand and cleared his throat.
Frau giggled and brought the bottle of liquor to his mouth.
“what. If you really don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do. “This sister really likes being forced to do things.”
After saying that, Frau poured some alcohol into his mouth. After gulping down a few sips, Frau put down the bottle.
“An answer came from Yana.”
Lee Seong-min, who was contemplating whether to go back to his room, came to his senses.
Seongmin Lee raised his head and looked at Frau.
“Until noon tomorrow. They told me to come to Yeohwaru’s annex. “I said you don’t have to come, so only you who have business to see Yana can go.”
“… … By ourselves?”
“why? Do you want this sister to go with you? Even if you go, this sister will never take your side in an emergency.”
“no it’s okay.”
Lee Seong-min shook his head at Frau’s mocking words.
Frau said he was friends with Yana.
Even if Yana were to fight, it was natural that Frau would not help.
My relationship with Frau is not deep enough to expect such help.
next day.
Lee Seong-min and his group headed to Yeohwaru.
Yeohwaru was a high-class restaurant not far from the red-light district.
There was still some time left until noon, but when I announced that I had an appointment at the annex in front of the fairy entrance, the door opened right away.
“You are already waiting.”
When I opened the door, what I encountered was a one-eyed female monster.
She bowed her head, narrowing the eyes in the center of her face.
After passing the beautiful garden and pond, I saw a large outbuilding.
The one-eyed monster who had been guiding me earlier stopped walking.
“He is inside.”
After hearing those words, Seongmin Lee passed by the monster.
Enter the outbuilding.
There was no sign of popularity in the outbuilding, and since it was quite large, I couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment about where to go.
At that moment, a voice rang in Lee Seong-min’s head.
[This way.]
A voice echoed through the space.
It was a woman’s voice. Seongmin Lee hardened his expression and looked in the direction from which the voice was heard.
Luvia swallowed her saliva, and Gwangcheonma’s expression became tense.
What they must meet from now on is Yana, the nine-tailed fox, the great monster that rules the Eormuri.
I don’t know what kind of personality and power Yana has as a youkai, but she was definitely not someone I would feel comfortable dealing with.
Guided by the voice, we arrived at the place in front of the pure white paper gate.
Seongmin Lee reached out and pushed the paper door to the side and opened it.
There was a beautiful woman sitting in the middle of a richly decorated room.
The woman wearing a colorful hanbok had calm, light blonde hair and blue eyes.
Lee Seong-min stood in silence and looked at the woman.
“… … Yana?”
“yes.”

When Lee Seong-min said Yana’s name in a low voice, Yana smiled faintly and nodded.
Yana had an impressive beauty, but it was different from the impression Lee Sung-min expected.
To be honest, Lee Seong-min thought that Yana would have an intimidating presence just by looking at her, and that she would have such a harsh look that he would not dare to look at her.
But when I actually saw Yana, she seemed far from that feeling.
Yana raised her hand with a graceful smile.
“Please sit down.”
Yana offered a seat first.
Seongmin Lee wondered for a moment how to accept the kindness he felt from Yana.
No matter how much I thought about it, I had no idea why Yana would show such kindness.
“Are you embarrassed?”
“… … yes.”
Yana asked while looking at Lee Seong-min’s expression, and Lee Seong-min answered honestly by nodding his head.
Yana smiled brightly, as if she knew that would happen.
She only stared at Lee Seong-min without giving a single glance to Gwangcheonma or Luvia.
No, to be precise. I saw the barding that Seongmin Lee was wearing.
“Are you well, Heoju?”
Yana asked.
Lee Seong-min’s expression hardened slightly. Heo Joo was equally surprised. The barding hums.
[what? That nine-tailed fox, how do you know me?]
“… … “How do you know Heo Ju?”
Heo Joo’s voice cannot be heard by Yana.
Thanks to this, Seongmin Lee asked Yana about him on behalf of Heoju.
Then Yana’s smile became a little deeper. Yana’s gaze, which she slightly raised, was looking not at the present, but at the distant past.
“Heoju was still alive. 500 years ago… … “I once received a favor from Heo Ju.”
[favor? What kind of grace. I don’t even remember.]
“What kind of grace is it?”
“Heoju probably doesn’t remember. “At that time, I was nothing more than an ordinary fox.”
[Then of course you don’t remember. … … for a moment. Was it just a fox 500 years ago?]
Heoju was astonished when he understood Yana’s words.
[An ordinary fox became a nine-tailed fox in 500 years? Holy crap. Nonsense!]
‘Is this surprising?’
[Of course it’s surprising. An ordinary fox must live for more than 100 years to become a fox, and its tail usually grows once every 200 years. You have to stay like that for 2000 years to become a nine-tailed fox. That is why the nine-tailed fox is considered a particularly powerful and special being among the great monsters!]
Heoju spat out. Even if you can’t do it, you have to stay for 1,500 years to become a nine-tailed fox, and for an outsider, a long period of time gives you that much strength.
“Are you saying he became a nine-tailed fox after 500 years?”
“yes.”
[I can’t believe it.]
Heoju muttered. Yana said as she watched the barding continue to hum.
“Can’t I talk to Heo Joo directly?”
[joy.]
At Yana’s words, magical power surges from the barding.
Heo Ju, who soared above Lee Seong-min’s head, looked down at Yana in the shape of a shaking flame.
Yana smiled brightly as she looked at Heoju.
“Heoju.”
[Don’t pretend to know anything and talk in a friendly way. I don’t remember you.]
Heoju answered. It was a harsh answer, but Yana’s smile did not disappear.
Yana, who was looking at Heo Joo, returned her gaze to Lee Seong-min.
She continued speaking while looking at Lee Seong-min’s left eye, which was dyed gold.
“Not yet?”
“yes?”
“Heoju.”
Yana’s voice lowered. Something creeps up from behind Yana.
The nine stems swaying like golden smoke were sharp-looking tails.
“I can help you.”
[What are you talking about?]
Heo Joo’s voice became cold.
Yana, with her tail exposed, was showing a completely different mood than before.
The devastating strength of unilaterally defeating the Red Ghost, the monster leader of the Predator, weighs down the space.
Seongmin Lee grabbed the spear that had been placed next to him without realizing it.
“I think that human body is already fully prepared. If I can help you, Heoju. “You will be able to take that human body without any problem.”
“what?!”
Seongmin Lee was startled by Yana’s words and stood up.
It was that moment.
Yana stretched out her hand, and two of Yana’s tails stretched out in an instant.
The outstretched tail locked Lee Seong-min’s arms and prevented him from moving.
The Gwangcheonma roared and rushed at Yana.
Then the other tail swung and hit Gwangcheonma’s body.
Wow!
Gwangcheonma’s body fell against the wall with a loud sound.
“I want to help you.”
Yana said.
“You lost your body in the subjugation 400 years ago. You lost your strength due to dirty tricks, and dragons bound your body and destroyed it. “When I found out about that, do you know how much I lamented over my lack of power?”
The force of the tail entangling both arms was so strong that it could not be easily shaken off.
Seongmin Lee gritted his teeth and increased his strength.
Then Yana changed her expression slightly and shot out two more tails, grabbing Lee Seong-min’s arms.
“With that human body, it might not be as good as it was in its prime, but it would be somewhat close. What are you hesitating about? “Are you doubting me?”
“Heo Joo… … !”
Lee Seong-min shouted Heo-ju’s name in a rough voice.
Heoju, who was shaking like a flame above Lee Seongmin’s head, was not saying anything.
“That human’s body has already been imbued with magical power. Although it is said that you have not completely transformed into a youkai, if I help you, I will be able to destroy that human’s soul and insert your soul into the empty body. Aren’t you also possessed by that human armor? For this moment, to take that human body and be resurrected. “Didn’t you plant magic power in that person?”
Lee Seong-min’s face distorted after hearing those words.
At first, he was suspicious of Heo Joo, but after experiencing the incident, Lee Seong-min erased his suspicions about Heo Joo.
There were many times when he saved his life with Heoju’s help, and he thought that Heoju was sincerely trying to help him.
But was it all for a time like this?
The fact that the spirit energy was accumulated in the Danjeon, and the left eye turned into a ghost eye as the body transformed into a monster. Are you saying it was all for Heo Joo to steal this body?
[…] … joy.]
Heoju snorted.
[Don’t say nonsense. Do you think this old man is doing this because he is greedy for a body like that?]
Heoju spat it out like that. The flame of magical power that replaced Heoju’s body swelled greatly.
[Don’t make nonsense. If you are really doing it for me, tuck in your tail, quietly bow your head, and apologize for this.]
Heoju spat out in an irritated voice. Yana’s eyes widened at those words.
The Gwangcheonma that was pinned against the wall got up while swearing, and Luvia was confused and didn’t know what to do.
Heoju, who saw everything, shouted in a voice full of anger.
[Did you not understand what I said?]
“… … really?”
Yana shrugged her shoulders, perhaps a little intimidated by Heoju’s shout.
Yana, who hesitated for a moment, nodded her head in response to Heoju’s shout with a sigh.
“… … sorry.”
Yana bowed her head and apologized.
The pressure that was weighing down the space, and the tail that was holding both of Lee Seong-min’s arms. It turned into smoke and disappeared.
Seongmin Lee lowered his bound arms and looked up at Heoju.
[Well, you bastard.]
Heoju, who received Lee Sungmin’s gaze, responded in an irritated voice.
[Did you really think I was going to bite you and take your body like that nine-tailed fox bitch said?]
“uh.”
[What a f*cking bastard. You don’t trust people that much, no, youkai?!]
Heoju shouted in disgust.
