Chapter 559

◈ Episode 559. If you can’t reach it (1)

Kim Hyun-min kept lowering his head.

“I’m really not the type of person who gets caught by the collar and just gets away with it.... It’s a good day, and my boss has given me a lot of reasons, so I’m going to get over it just this once.”

“Thank you....”

“Thank you and do your best. “I wonder where there are people like that in the world these days.”

The sound of footsteps moving away.

Only then did Kim Hyun-min raise his head and look at the police station. Seongjin Park Manager Park, whom he had always disapproved of, was constantly groveling.

“thank you. “Then have a hard time.”

“Director Park....”

“Where are those people? “Did you go?”

Jinglang.

The shadow returned to Director Park’s face, which had never lost its smile until the moment the door was closed. He let out a deep sigh and rummaged through his jacket pocket.

“Oh, I was quitting smoking.”

“I’ll run and get it.”

“it’s okay. “You don’t even know what I’m smoking, what about Assistant Manager Kim?”

“...sorry.”

“Okay, sit down.”

The time has already reached midnight.

If it had been normal, I might have been irritated.

But there was a sin committed.

dump.

Kim Hyun-min obediently sat down.

Still, I didn’t understand.

Why did Manager Park protect me?

I didn’t say it out loud.

Manager Park opens his mouth.

“A dispute about assault at a company dinner? “A testament to how much they want me from above.”

...Oh, was it something like that?

It was a moment of thought.

Director Park continued speaking casually.

“And it’s my fault too. It’s my fault for forcing Assistant Manager Kim when I knew he wouldn’t drink a glass of alcohol. I’m sorry, Assistant Manager Kim. “I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

“?”

That was an apology that I had not even thought about.

Is it because I’m drunk?

Director Park continued speaking with an expression that is not usually seen.

“I guess this is why the first step is so important, Assistant Manager Kim. In my time. We just went out for drinks together a few times and we just became close. I guess that habit has remained to this day. Just understand that the way an old man expresses himself is immature.”

“!”

For a moment, Kim Hyun-min felt like he had been hit in the back of the head.

What is Manager Park regretting?

Did he think he was harassing him?

As he said, it was just a different way of expressing it.

“No, Manager. “I am...”

“That’s enough. “Because I already know that.”

Director Park, who was waving his hand, glanced at Kim Hyun-min.

“Isn’t social life easy?”

“Because nothing in this world is easy.”

“Yes, that kind of mindset is really good.”

Why did you drag Kim Hyun-min to every company dinner?

It was because of the hope that Kim Hyun-min would fit in with the team at least a little bit.

Manager Park shrugged his shoulders.

“And you did well.”

“yes?”

“Because you showed your hot side like you did today. Don’t you think new recruits will not look down on Assistant Manager Kim from now on? You know the external oil and the internal energy, right? “That’s what Assistant Manager Kim showed today.”

As expected, the manager knew everything.

Kim Hyun-min was silent for a moment.

Because I felt like my narrow vision was collapsing.

‘...You’re a real adult, Director Park.’

Likewise, it was probably because I was drunk.

Kim Hyun-min said something he normally would not have said.

That was something I didn’t reveal to anyone.

“Hey, Manager, I have a question for you.”

“Suddenly counseling for concerns? Our Assistant Manager Kim? Okay, give it a try.”

“Well... there is something I must apologize for.”

“apologize? Assistant Manager Kim is not someone who causes trouble, right? Anyway.”

Kim Hyun-min bit his lip.

“But what should I do if the person I must apologize to is now so far away that I can’t even reach him?”

Manager Park touched his chin and answered.

“I should just live with it, what should I do?”

“...yes?”

“Even though I made a mistake so big that I had to apologize, it’s best to just live my life, thinking that I’m glad that it turned out so well that I couldn’t just apologize.”

Is it because we drink a lot of water in society?

“That’s ridiculous.”

Manager Park was cool-headed in that respect.

“Do you think that person would want to see Assistant Manager Kim?”

“...!”

-Just homen

-Now he’s just surpassed the player’s limits ᄅᄋ

-It’s beyond amazing, it’s scary ᄃᄃ

Like a professional broadcaster, he agrees with his wits.

“It seems that the Pantheon was not wary of the infinitely deep darkness for no reason. In that sense, isn’t it fortunate? “Lee Ho-yeol is on our side.”

No one objected.

Because Lee Ho-yeol has only walked for the sake of humanity.

But at the same time, someone had witnessed it.

“Whoa.”

“Why are you sighing, Captain?”

“huh? “It’s just nothing.”

The image of Ho-yeol facing Paimon in Jeju Island.

Perhaps that is why those who entered Jeju Island felt fortunate in their hearts. About the fact that they were the only ones to witness Ho-yeol giving off a different energy than usual.

But there was a fact that even they were overlooking.

It was floating in the sky and observing everything.

The existence of magical eyes.

.

The devil of the ten thrones.

Buer paimon gamigin.

As many as three demon lords were hunted by his hands.

Of course, there was room for controversy.

“Even if Buer said that, wasn’t Paimon and Gamigin hunted by him? “Paimon fell into the foolish Baal, and Gamigin fell into the open gates of hell.”

Ritual of the Ten Seas.

Discussions take place beneath the veil.

The role of mediator is once again the Demon King of the Eighth Throne.

It was Barbatos’ part.

He spoke using his power of ‘objective vision’.

“Even if Gamigin and Paimon didn’t die directly at his hands. “In the end, it was that man who drove them to their deaths.”

It was Barbatos’ objective eye that evaluated only the facts. When he made his decision, even the ten disciples who rarely gave up their stubbornness fell silent. But silence only led to bigger questions.

“I can’t believe it. “Paimon, I never thought he would fall.”

“They say countless sacrifices were made for the curse.”

“This is a result that was not expected at all.”

To Paimon, being the ninth Demon King was meaningless.

His strength could be assessed as only Baal knew.

Barbatos looked closely.

‘...The next arrow will be aimed at me, right?’

As Buer Paimon fell into hell, he became the lowest of the ten. Whether you look at it visually or objectively, it was clear that it was your turn next.

Beneath the veil, Barbatos swallowed dry saliva.

‘I am neither stronger than Gamigin nor more honorable than Paimon.’

Can I survive that man?

The gentle mediator began to evaluate himself objectively.

It was then.

As expected.

“We can’t let that incomprehensible being into the demon world.”

“As Paimon said, we must strike first.”

“Then it’s your turn, Barbatos.”

Slowly, his name began to be mentioned.

Barbatos was in agony.

No matter how hard I racked my brain, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

It didn’t even occur to him that he could handle a man that even Paimon couldn’t handle. So this time, I looked at the memories in the objective eye.

‘...There may be a clue.’

If it were his objective eyes, he would have looked around the Arcana Continent and their world from a more diverse perspective than the magical eyes of the other Ten Lords. I thought maybe I could find a new way out.

Barbatos’ understanding of the topic was correct.

“...!”

Barbatos witnessed this.

Their world.

A new ‘fear’ is sprouting in the world of adventurers.

Barbatos opened his mouth quietly.

“Maybe it’s possible.”

*

I read the words that came to mind again.

──────

A new event is coming to you.

The new event ‘Emissary of the Ten Seas’ begins.

1. From now on, ‘Barvatos, the Demon King of the Ninth Throne’ will become a neutral force.

2. A delegation from Barbatos wants to visit Seoul, the land of Kii.

3. Barbatos’ delegation wants to sign a peace treaty...

──────

What?

Is the devil and the Ten Seas a neutral force?

The sun doesn’t rise in the west, so what is this?

“You can be proud, Barbatos.”

Sweet.

Gran Fell puts down the unemptied teacup.

Soon Cube Bangjeong continued speaking.

“You are the first devil to make me lose my appetite.”
