Episode 408: They are here (3)
Why are they suddenly showing up?!!? Wasn’t Meister the last time someone similar to a character appeared in a game?!
I unconsciously covered my mouth with my hand at the unexpected scene. Frederick looked puzzled and tapped me because I had withdrawn my hand from stroking his mane and covered my mouth. My hand belatedly left my mouth.
“More than half of the people who confessed to you in the first place were devil worshipers! But do you still feel sympathy for others?”
“That means they were bad guys! “Half of them were ordinary people!”
“And those ordinary people didn’t accept your confession. You idiot, give up. “There is no such thing as ‘fated love’ in this world.”
“Ugh.”
Whether I was embarrassed or not, the archers and fighters—I wonder if they were really those professions here—came quickly toward the temple.
“If you really want to get married, you should leave here and go to the back area—”
Then my gaze met the martial artist’s. strong. The shock of seeing the resemblance to a game character disappeared in an instant, and a look of wariness appeared in her eyes and mine. There was no regret whatsoever towards the opponent, but it was a caution that was engraved solely because he was strong.
“I’m sorry, Sir Job. “I was late.”
At that time, Daniel came running from inside the temple.
“Nice to meet you, brother.”
A gentle-looking man with brown hair and brown eyes was also there. Looking at the iron plate over the cloth clothes, it seems that he is not an ordinary priest, but an Inquisitor.
“It’s not too late.”
With Daniel joining, my snowball fight with the martial arts artist came to an end. I responded to Daniel first and then gave the brown-haired man a light greeting.
“Are you an acquaintance of Daniel? Nice to meet you. It is called Job. “This is Frederick.”
Purr.
“Haha, that’s cool. This is Maximoyak. “Please call me Maxie.”
“Sure, Maxi.”
Normally, we would have done something like a handshake at this point, but I have demon energy and he has divine power. Even if you shake hands, you will only end up feeling uncomfortable with each other. I ended with a verbal greeting. Perhaps because they had similar thoughts, they didn’t bother to extend their hand.
“Then shall we go?”
“Please, Maxi.”
I nodded at Maximoyac’s suggestion, while also casting my gaze towards the fighter and archer I had seen earlier. They were still looking this way, but they seemed to be no longer wary of me.
As soon as they entered the temple, we left the temple.
“I was surprised. “It’s not often that Danny makes friends.”
“Maxi.”
“You must have had a hard time dealing with Danny’s temper.”
“very. It must have been even more difficult. “The only shortcomings I have are ones that are difficult to accept.”
To be honest, it’s harder for Daniel, who has to tolerate a child who embodies his parents’ enemies, than for me. I turned it around and walked side by side.
Maximoyak looked at me with ambiguous eyes and Daniel immediately started denying it.
“Not really. You worked harder than me. “Didn’t you accept my feelings one-sidedly?”
“well. Even though I slapped you, I don’t think I ever accepted it...”
Looking back now, the conversation back then was exactly like this. ‘This body drank, but I didn’t drink and drive, so don’t be angry.’ like this.
Even after hearing that, Daniel did not get any more angry, but instead accepted and accepted it... Oh, isn’t this a Bodhisattva?
“Haha, it looks like you two are closer than I thought.”
“Does it look like that?”
“yes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Danny treat me so comfortably. “That kid has good sociability, but I guess I should say he’s good at drawing boundaries... He always had a wall around him.”
“When did I...”
“You always carried something like a fireball around your chest. “That’s how difficult it was to deal with.”
“That...”
It was a ball of fire. That must be the feeling you have towards that angry bastard who is like excrement.
I moved my lips, thinking about Daniel’s unfinished grudge.
“Still, that devil will face death soon. “It may not be a reward for your work.”
“...Yes, that’s right.”
Even if the anger dies now, the past will not change. Still, if the enemy disappears, wouldn’t at least some of the accumulated resentment disappear?
I smiled faintly, hoping that it would be at least some comfort to Daniel. Daniel also smiled wryly, perhaps remembering the anger that would soon kill him.
“Is it true that the devil dies?”
“Oh, Maxie, you don’t know.”
“It was difficult news to spread.”
Daniel summarized the story I had previously told him, hid what he wanted to hide, and told it to Maxie. Maximoyac’s expression changed to that of an astonished person.
“...To be honest, Danny, I wouldn’t have believed it if it weren’t for what you said.”
“Admit it. “Because it makes sense.”
“Actually, I still don’t completely believe it. “God...”
After speaking, Maxie stared at me with an indescribable expression. Is it true that I really received an oracle and how can that be? Those questions quickly passed through his eyes. It was an understandable shape.
“If it’s hard to believe, you can just dismiss it as a lie. “I just hope you can bear with handing me over to the Heresy Trial.”
So I slightly shook my right arm holding the reins.
“It’s unfair that I have to shoulder such a problem, but it’s even more unfair when I think about the inevitable defeat I’m going to have because of this guy.”
Maximoyak’s eyes widened when he heard what I said, and then he burst out laughing.
“All right. I still can’t believe it, but there’s no way Danny would lie to me. “Lord Job doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who would tell a lie.”
“If it seemed that way, I’m grateful.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
I tried to pay as much as possible, even if only because I felt sorry. It wasn’t that difficult because I still had plenty of money left in my pocket.
“This time I...”
“Take this money.”
“Are you fighting your wits?”
“Then you just have to be agile.”
Either use quick arithmetic like me and take out a custom coin. For those of you who can’t do that, do you know how to make payments?
As if teasing me, I paid in advance and got the sandwich again. A pungent smell wafted out, perhaps because they were trying to cover up the not-so-fresh ingredients with spices. For someone like me who is used to fermented foods, the smell was quite bearable.
“This smells a bit...”
“Haha. “It’s a specialty here.”
“Are you okay sir?”
“I’m fine.”
Rather, it reminds me of Cheonggukjang and is good. I took a bite of the bread filled with something similar to beans. Although it wasn’t fresh, the light and savory taste of crushed crumbs filled my mouth.
“Oh, are you enjoying it? “It’s a food that has quite a difference in likes and dislikes.”
“There’s something like this in my hometown too. “It’s delicious.”
This is delicious. I finished the sandwich in four mouths and then licked it off my lips. Should I have one more? But it looks like I still have a house to go to.
“I can’t eat it...”
“Then I will eat it.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s a waste to throw it away.”
I took the sandwich Daniel had left after taking a bite. Frederick seemed to be interested in this, slightly sticking his head out, sniffing, and then turning his head. I had no intention of giving it away because it was bread, but I guess it wasn’t my taste anyway.
“Next is the jeonbyeongjip (jeonbyeongjip), which is made by baking a large piece of egg, filling it with vegetables, and rolling it up.”
“oh.”
Wow, that sounds delicious. I secretly swallowed the saliva in my mouth and followed Maximoyac. Maxi’s choices so far were excellent, so I had faith that this one would also be delicious.
“But there’s so much street food.”
“Oh, does it look like that?”
“It’s less compared to other cities, but....”
“It’s all because I have lost my appetite.”
And when we reached the jeonbyeong restaurant, Maxie ordered the recommended menu for us and said,
“Now that my greed has died down, I am now a little freer from storing food.”
“Ah...”
“You’ve accomplished this too.”
“...I’m embarrassed to say that.”
Actually, I could have jumped if I hadn’t been so greedy.
I accepted the freshly baked pancakes, remembering what happened then. Just looking at the steaming pancakes was appetizing.
Purr.
“no. “If you eat it now, it will burn you.”
Is it okay to eat this in the first place? I took a bite of the pancake to check the ingredients inside. The hot vegetable juice filled my mouth and made me open my mouth automatically.
“Seueup heup.”
“ha ha ha. “Isn’t it hot?”
“If you do it wrong, it’s perfect for burning the roof of your mouth.”
“after.”
It’s really hot. To cool my tongue, I slightly stuck it out of my mouth and checked the inside of the pancake. Cabbage, shredded potatoes, eggplant and cheese... I don’t think this will work.
“I don’t think you can eat it.”
Purr.
“I’ll give you corn instead.”
Phew.
“carrot.”
Phew!
“sugar beet. No more than this. “I’m getting fat.”
You already ate some greens and carrots earlier. Do you have a conscience?
I rummaged through my pockets while negotiating with Frederick.
“Puhuhuh.”
“Ahaha, you have quite the personality.”
Daniel and Maximoyac giggled as they looked at that. Do you think this is funny? funny? I’m not funny. I felt resentment as I rummaged through my pockets.
“You devil!”
And then flew away again.
“...!”
“Sir Maxie!”
“heard.”
The three of us, who are essential when hunting demons, turned our heads to one side.
