episode_0105
by fnovelpiaThe gumiho who had been reborn as a true gumiho checked her condition.
Not only did he regain his strength, but he also gained the power of the password in Cheonho. He was stronger than before. Now was the new heyday.
All that’s left is to achieve the dream that I couldn’t achieve back then. I’m confident that I can overcome any ordeal now.
But before that.
“Honey? Why on earth did you come all the way here? I told you not to come.”
What the gumiho was curious about was Karami’s actions.
Why did Karami come here?
It was a question that could not be resolved no matter how much I thought about it.
I felt like I had to hear his answer to sort out my tangled emotions and thoughts.
“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t go just because you told me not to?”
“Huh?”
“I am the master, and you are the slave. Where in the world is there a master who follows the orders of his slave?”
It was an extremely fundamental claim.
The master gives orders.
To follow orders is to be a slave.
There is no need for the master to follow the slave’s words.
“That’s right.”
The nine-tailed fox laughs in agreement at the simple logic. He mutters while looking up at the sky with hazy eyes.
“Slave and master… right… … .”
A strong relationship that cannot be broken even by death.
Why didn’t my past self have someone like that?
No, it seemed like it happened too.
The nine-tailed fox turned her gaze to Heukbi.
“Password, why did you betray me?”
To the gumiho, the password was a comrade, a friend, and a younger sibling.
They were a relationship of trust so thick that he could readily give up his back on the battlefield. Because she betrayed him, the nine-tailed fox had no choice but to be helpless.
The password seemed brazen, but he tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
“Betrayal? It wasn’t the girl who betrayed you, it was the gumiho.”
“… What?”
“Unable to control his greed, he put his own people in danger and never listened to advice. What was the result?”
The nine-tailed fox’s desire to stand in the sky.
In order to achieve that one thing, countless Hoyo tribe members were unable to live up to their names, so the fox tribe that once ruled the world was brought to the point of extinction.
The surviving Hoyo tribe were scattered across the world, and even those who were wary of their power were punished by the heavens, turning them into monsters.
“You have betrayed the trust of the foxes who followed you.”
“That’s….”
Black Rain desperately appealed to the Gumiho who could not refute him.
“Just once. Just once, if you had listened to the girl… Then it wouldn’t have come to this… … .”
There was not a single time when I looked back.
He abandoned his dying compatriots.
Black Rain’s choice that day was the best decision to save his clan.
“Was it really that hard to be satisfied with reality? So much so that you would send your clan to hell?”
“I just wanted to let you do whatever you wanted… .”
“Actually, there was no one left.”
Each and every word of Heukbi’s words pierces like a cold knife.
If it had been someone else’s words, I would have laughed them off and let it slide, but it just so happened that it was Heukbi who was speaking.
Heukbi has never shown his emotions since the beginning. When he appeals to her with emotions overflowing, even a nine-tailed fox cannot listen.
A nine-tailed fox who was completely subdued by mere words.
He suddenly lowered his head.
“Come on, let’s not fight about the past. If you were betrayed and sealed for hundreds of years, wouldn’t you have paid a great price?”
Hundreds of years is enough time to run the statute of limitations a few dozen times.
“This is not a matter for outsiders to meddle in.”
“I don’t know if it was in the past, but not anymore. Big Lin is my slave. She’s not an outsider.”
“Big Lin… ?”
“The name of the nine-tailed fox. The other nine-tailed fox inside is Rin. This one is big Rin.”
Now, Lin has grown so much that it’s hard to talk about whether she’s big or small, but I can’t think of any other words to describe her, so I’m just calling her whatever comes to mind.
Heukbi was greatly shocked.
You gave the gumiho a name?
Heukbi looked at the gumiho with surprised eyes, but ironically, the gumiho did not deny it. She simply avoided eye contact by twirling her hair with her fingers.
“Tta, I don’t really hate it… If you listen to it, it seems okay… … .”
Second shock.
Until just now, he was calling me by my name, saying things like “paper” or “pile up”, but he says he doesn’t mind being called by my name by the person he’s losing to.
“The nine-tailed fox has become a female…?”
“Female! What is she talking about?”
A fresh, virgin-like reaction.
As a gumiho, she is optimized to captivate men, but the opposite is unfamiliar. Since she appears as a hero in a moment of crisis, she cannot escape without her female DNA working.
A flushed face is no different from declaring one’s identity as a female.
“This can’t be happening… .”
This is what Heukbi was feeling at the moment.
The idol that I respected and admired got dumped by some unidentified man and announced that he was going to retire. Kirakira☆Sparkling is no longer everyone’s idol.
“Gumiho, you should just commit suicide.”
That would be better.
Rather than living as a female, I would rather die with pride as a queen.
This is much better than seeing an idol being defiled. This was the reaction that came out when the fan’s immersion reached its peak.
“You’ll never die, right?”
A gumiho bursts into laughter because she is so shocked.
He took a deep breath, looked at the black rain, and spoke softly.
“Sorry.”
“… … !”
“I wish I had looked around just once, like you said. It’s too late to regret it now.”
There is nothing more foolish than regretting the past.
“Ugh~ Tea.”
The nine-tailed fox stretched out.
A somewhat relieved expression.
“Where are you going?”
“That’s what I’m going to do. I should stop wasting your time and give you back to your master.”
I figured out what was troubling me, and I also found out a secret story from the past. It would be a shame to just say an apology to the password.
“Don’t you stand in the sky?”
“This isn’t something I accomplished. It doesn’t suit my nature to just suck the juice out of something. You deserve to be in heaven, not me.”
Light began to shine from the gumiho’s body.
Become Buddha.
I was planning to leave because I didn’t really have any regrets.
‘If I had to say….’
Just one.
I wonder if I should call it foolishness, but I was left with just one question.
“What if you were with me in the past?”
Like Lin now.
What if there was a master who led from the front, not from the side or behind? Wouldn’t things have been very different then?
Karami smiled blandly at the nine-tailed fox who asked with lingering regret.
“If we met in the past, I would have died. Why would you care about me?”
“Um… .”
“It is cruel to your past self to substitute your present self, who has realized everything, into the past.”
In other words, no matter how much Karami tried to show off her talents in front of the gumiho, she would have just walked over her like a passing bug. The reason she could have a comfortable conversation with Karami was because she had just met him.
“That’s right.”
It is pointless to discuss assumptions that will not come true.
Because the past cannot be twisted by fate.
“You know, this is the last time… Can you pat my head just once?”
Every time Karami stroked her head, Rin’s happiness surged inside her like water. She wondered what kind of feeling it was that made her feel such emotions.
“It’s not difficult.”
Karami puts his hand on his head.
Move your hand gently and stroke it.
It feels unfamiliar yet comfortable.
The corners of the gumiho’s mouth form a faint crescent moon.
“Aha, this is the feeling… . Not bad.”
After stroking it like that for a while, I finally took my hand off.
Even the nine-tailed fox was quite satisfied.
“I’m going to go now.”
Light filled the nine-tailed fox’s body and the spirit body slowly slipped out. Karami caught Rin’s body as it tilted.
-I almost forgot to tell you. It was thanks to Rin that you were saved. She kept your energy intact. And I was the one who tempted you to drink it, so don’t hate me too much.
“I know.”
-Okay, I know.
The two of them will be able to solve their own problems best.
I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Finally, the gumiho exchanged glances with Heukbi and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
-It ended up like you apologized and ran away.
“… … .”
-Was it Heukbi? That’s a pretty name.
A calm farewell.
The nine-tailed fox’s spirit form, without any trace of regret, dispersed and disappeared.
Heukbi stared at the empty space where she had disappeared for a while.
“Um… .”
Lin lets out a moan in Karami’s arms.
When the nine-tailed fox disappeared, Rin’s personality appeared naturally. It wasn’t difficult for Rin, who had been watching the whole situation from the inside, to come to her senses.
Lin rolled her eyes to the side and awkwardly greeted Karami, avoiding her gaze.
“Ah, hello, master.”
“Long time no see.”
Lin’s lips quiver.
I stayed inside and thought about what I should say in advance.
“… … I’m sorry. Lin put the owner in danger… .”
“It’s okay. Didn’t you survive thanks to that?”
I didn’t die from eating the energy, but I lived thanks to eating the energy.
Even though she had to take into account the temptation of the nine-tailed fox, and her body grew as her tail grew, Rin was still mentally immature. She was just a kid with a big head.
Just as parents take responsibility for their children’s mistakes and discipline them, the master should take responsibility for the slave’s mistakes. He should be taught not to repeat the same mistake in the future.
When Karami raised her hand, Rin’s ears immediately responded and split to the left and right. It was easy to stroke. Even though it had been a long time, her body remembered.
Karami, with a bitter smile, pats his head again.
Lin closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of her hand. Before she knew it, she was hugging Karami tightly with her nine tails.
“I’m sorry to interrupt your emotional reunion, but it doesn’t seem like a time to enjoy the reunion leisurely.”
The black bee with its neck straightened looks up at the sky.
Darkness covers the sky.
An ominous energy gathers at one point.
This is the direction where Vestia is.
“What is that?”
“It’s a divine punishment.”
Some call it a divine punishment, but it was closer to a heavenly disaster.
It was a disaster from heaven caused by the nine-tailed fox.
The goal is to restore the twisted heavens.
Simply put, it is an attempt to sort out those who are entangled with the gumiho together with the gumiho.
It was similar to Ragnarok.
“Let’s go back right now.”
“Goodbye.”
Karami tilted her head as she looked at Heukbi, who was greeting her shyly.
“What are you talking about? Password, you should come with me too.”
“Why should the girl go with you?”
“I’ve lost all my strength, so what am I doing here alone? And as one of the Hoyo tribe members, you have to watch the end.”
I’m definitely not trying to collect the complete Yoho trio set.
Never.
