221 Dad's too strong. 220.

the deep foothills of Mt. Umyeon

An old man, dressed in white, was walking on the surface of the lake. He was the so-called mountain god, and as its name suggests, he was the guardian spirit of the mountain. However, a guest has been visiting the lake, the site of the mountain god who has been living in peace since ancient times.

"............."

A man who looks just like a human being at first glance.

However, the energy felt in a man was too powerful to be considered a mere human being. I wondered if the monster in the crack had escaped, but it was too alien to be a monster, speaking human language.

slurping through

The mountain god disappeared into the lake.

The man visited here a few days ago and went fishing by the lake. Inside the lake lived clean freshwater fish, which the man would kill time by catching them.

can

The man put the bait in the middle of the lake to steam.

Then I took out a monthly fishing book from my bag and started reading it.

A shallow rather than deep!

"I see."

The man, Kiriel, recovered the scissors and threw them back. This time, throw it in a shallow place as described in the book. Was the book effective? Less than 10 minutes after throwing, the bite came. The fish's resistance was strong, but it was not enough to beat Kiriel's power.

Flap flap!

Kiriel looked at the fish he had caught.

A fairly large carp, about 35 cm long.

Take a picture of your smartphone, take a picture, remove the hook, and release it back into the lake. Meanwhile, Byul, who followed Kiriel, was quite curious about fishing, so she kept looking around and kept dozing off. Maybe, it's getting boring.

"Will this body read you a book?"

Moon Byul opened her eyes wide with a chime, saying, "Hot!" Kiriel laughed at the cute figure and picked up a book of fairy tales from his Artifact pocket. The title of the fairy tale book was. It was the first fairy tale even Kiriel saw.

There was nothing much in the fairy tale.

A woodcutter fell an ax to a lake while cutting down a tree, and a mountain god appeared and gave him a gold axe, a silver axe, and an iron axe. Byul laughed as if the story was quite interesting.

"Half a fortune and half a fortune. Stir all three of them."

Kiriel nodded and smiled, and Moon Byul, who had yet to take her eyes off the book to see if the lingering imagery of the fairy tale book, looked at the lake and asked.

"Are you still going to do it?"

Byul seems to believe that the contents of the fairy tale are true. In fact these fairy tale stories must have been fiction, but Kiriel hesitated to answer. I was going to be honest with you, but Kiriel scratched his head.

"Maybe?"

"A child in the world!"

Moon Byul blinked her eyes as if she could not believe it, then got up from her seat and mumbled to the lake. Then he looked into the lake and rolled his eyes. Perhaps, they are trying to find the mountain god.

"Gee it a yo?"

cried Byul. Frustrated, Kiriel quickly evoked.

"Sa, the mountain god is off today."

"Gle Ku Na. The Rom Nae Eun?"

"My, I'll work tomorrow."

Byul grinned at the news that she was going to work tomorrow.

***

The next morning.

Dojun put down the newspaper he was reading for a while. It's not even seven o'clock yet, but Byul has already gotten up and changed into her out-of-the-door clothes. He packed some snacks in his teddy bear character bag, seemed to be thinking about something in the living room, and quickly picked up a fairy tale book lying on the sofa.

"Are you going to play?"

"Woong! I'm going to San Hal's."

Dojun glanced at the fairy tale book in Byul's hand. And the last time, I recalled the mountain god I met once when I went to destroy the S-class rift on Mount Umyeon. Did Byul meet the mountain god?

"Ki Li Ai did a lot of it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"That's what Kiriel did?"

"Woong!"

Dojun briefly mixed bananas, milk, and honey to make juice for breakfast and gave it to Byul. Byul got the juice and drank it on the spot. He seemed to want to meet the mountain god as soon as possible.

"God, come all the way!"

It was a little after eight o'clock in the morning when Byul arrived at the lake where she came with Kiriel yesterday. Moon Byul, who had been having a hard time coming here, thought about just going home several times on the way, but when she found the lake, she felt tired.

Dodo!

The star's footsteps toward the lake came to a halt. Under the tree where Kiriel was fishing yesterday, his clothes were folded. Besides, the fishing rod was with him. Byul didn't understand why Kiriel's stuff was here, but she didn't care much because what was important now was the mountain god.

"Are you going to pay for it?""

Byul looked down at the lake and shouted loudly.

Then, as if he had waited, an old man appeared to the surface.

"Yes! Here it is!"

A long ginseng full of water, white hair, and beard.

Byul stared at the old man, and soon opened her eyes wide. Obviously, when I saw the hair and beard, my grandfather was right, but I felt something clumsy.

Besides, I've heard his voice a lot somewhere.

"Don't make a living. Are you sleeping.

Byul opened her eyes more and more dimly.

Then, the old man flinched and stammered, perhaps embarrassed.

"Da, of course! Lee, this body is a mountain god!"

"The Book of Books" is a large, San Halbuji is a dog up and down."

The old man gulped down his saliva.

Is that what the fairy tale tells you?

But I couldn't argue with her.

"Well, yes, this body knows everything."

"Hmm. Yeah. Eggs. That Rom gate. Two of mine?"

"......why?"

"I've heard of all the San Halbuji. Your liver?

Kiriel, dressed up as a mountain god, was very nervous.

I thought the moment I made a mistake, it would be over.

Byul skimmed through Kiriel and gave him the first question.

"What kind of dog do you have?""

damn!

We have hit a snag from the first question.

Kiriel darted his legs to think of the answer to the problem.

What's your favorite? Chocolate bread? Isn't it food?

No. It could be a new bear pajama from a while ago.

".Ah!"

Kiriel squeaked.

"The answer is Dad."

Moon Byul's eyes were wide open with a slight surprise.

"Ma, Ma, Ma, Ja."

Kiriel smiled hushly.

But Byul shook her head as if she had never done so.

"Recently, this go is you, Mushi Ungo."

The next question.

"Who and what did you get?"

Kiriel laughed.

Isn't this a much easier problem?

"Hoot. You came with this body."

......no way!

Kiriel waved his hand, adding a chime, 'Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!'

"Choo, cancel! Well, the answer is Kiriel!"

"Come on."

Byul has decided to stop making questions now. Although questions about the mountain spirit have not been answered yet, I decided to eat snacks because I was so hungry to come all the way up here. I took out two chocolate breads that I brought in my bag, ripped one out, put it in my pocket, and opened the other.

And

"I'm going to buy it."

I gave Kiriel a chocolate bread.

"Are you giving it to this body?"

"Woong. Play with rice Lee. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"...Thank you."

Kiriel ate up the chocolate bread he had received from Byul at once. I hope it goes smoothly.

'Oh! That's right.

Recalling the story of a fairy tale

Quickly take out a bag of bungeoppang from the artifact pocket.

And, hmm, clear your throat and then change your voice again with the old man's voice.

"Baby. You're so nice. I'll give you this bungeoppang as a prize."

Byul was surprised to see the bungeoppang in the envelope.

And muttered, looking at the mountain god who had been suspicious.

"Gee, Jing, all."

***

toward the end of the year

Hakase saw a white ginseng set in the corner of a cart bar, a wig, and a fake beard. Kiriel left his nest at dawn, saying he had work to do today, and had just returned just a moment ago. He sighed deeply with a slightly haggard look.

"I thought you got caught."

"......what?"

Show me a book of fairy tales.

It was a famous fairy tale that Hakase knows well.

Kiriel pointed to the jangsam, wig and beard in the corner, explaining what happened today, and Hakase looked dumbfounded.

"This body really became a mountain god for a day. I spent two hours diving in the water waiting for Moon Byul to come."

Hakase laughed at the remark. He was a fool, but I felt proud that he was doing this for someone else.

He used to hate him like an enemy, but now he has become attached to him.

I think he is a good guy.

"The mountain god is a very painful job. I have to stay in the water all day."

Kiriel muttered and put on an apron, the suit of work in the cart.

Dinner guests will be rushing in soon.

"Well, I see."

If there's a mountain god.

After work and dinner, Dojun headed for Mt. Umyeon.

The upward movement of the snow does not leave any trace.

The mountain path in the evening, when the sun was completely down, was so dark that it was nowhere to be seen, but Do-jun leisurely climbed the mountain.

Thick.

Soon the mountain god arrives at the lake where he will be asleep.

Dojun walked to the center of the lake as if walking on the ground.

Soon a gray-haired old man appeared in the lake. It was a mountain spirit that I saw the other day. Dojun smiled at the mountain god.

"Long time no see."

The mountain god saluted and paid respect.

He didn't know the details of Dojun's identity, but he knew as well as the fact that he was a high-ranking figure who dared not dare to be approached. Mystery, that was the feeling that the mountain god felt when he first encountered Dojun.

Shoot him!

When Dojun raised his hand,

A portion of the water from the lake came up and made a small table, and Do-jun, who sat in front of it, raised the simple snacks and drinks he had brought.

Despite being directly in contact with water, it does not get wet at all.

"Would you like a drink?"

The mountain god sat across from Dojun, risking his bliss. The mountain god could vaguely guess why Do-jun came to visit. It's probably because of a baby you saw today and a young man who dressed up as himself.

Dojun filled the mountain spirit's glass with alcohol.

"Sorry for the noise today."

"No. Today, I had a lot of fun."

The mountain god recalled the guests who came today.

I didn't think it was noisy or bothersome at all.

It was just a guest's visit after a long time. I just watched it from afar, but it was fun.

"What is this?"

The mountain god pointed at the food.

"It's called seafood pancake. I packed what the man who came today made."

"Huh, I see. Please tell him later that you enjoyed the meal."

Do-jun smiled.

"I'll do so.
