chapter_0547

547 – Is it true that we have no king?

547 – Is it true that we have no king?

After visiting the Dungeon, we decided to play in the park for a while.

Today’s game was “Red Light, Green Light.”

“Levinas wants to be ‘it’!”

“Okay. Then Levinas can be ‘it’ first.”

Levinas buried his face in a tree, and we moved a little further away.

Since we Beastmen could reach him quickly if we ran at full speed, we decided to run a little slower.

“Starting now!”

Levinas took a deep breath.

It was the breath that signaled the start of the game.

“Red Light!”

Levinas’s speaking speed was faster than I expected.

Fortunately, with the quick reflexes unique to Beastmen, I was able to stop moving before Levinas turned around.

“Hmm…”

Come to think of it, with my reaction speed, wouldn’t I never get caught in the Red Light, Green Light game?

It wouldn’t be fun if I never got caught even once, so what should I do?

Having too good a reaction speed is also a problem.

Along with regret, a small sense of pride began to bloom deep within my heart.

“Ahem.”

I shouldn’t be like this.

Arrogance was the enemy of adventurers.

I wanted to slap my cheeks to come to my senses, but I couldn’t move during the game.

So I just stood still and breathed, but for some reason, Levinas was chuckling as he looked at me.

“Wang moved!”

“Me…?”

That couldn’t be.

I was standing as still as a corpse.

I looked at Levinas with bewildered eyes, and Levinas pointed to my tail behind me.

“Wang’s tail moved!”

“Oh…”

That’s right.

I had a tail that moved on its own.

I was ashamed of myself for thinking the Red Light, Green Light game was easy.

“Wang, come here and grab Levinas’s tail!”

“Okay…”

I trudged over and grabbed Levinas’s tail.

Then Levinas’s Red Light, Green Light game started again.

“Red Light!”

Like the ‘it’, I turned around with Levinas.

And there, I was able to witness an amazing sight.

“If you’re behind Saebyeok like this, you can move and not be seen!”

Haneul, Gaeul, and Bomi were all hiding behind Saebyeok.

Thanks to that, only Bomi’s playful voice could be heard.

“Good Bomi, isn’t that cheating!”

“It’s not cheating, it’s a technique.”

“Hmph! Then Levinas will use a technique too!”

Levinas turned his head back towards the tree.

And then, at the same time as he spoke, he turned around.

“Red Light!”

“Gasp.”

That’s really an incredible speed.

I turned around with Levinas.

Twitch.

Saebyeok, who was stretching out her foot, got caught.

“Saebyeok is caught!”

“Okay.”

“Surprise attack here! Red Light!”

While Saebyeok was walking, Levinas called out “Red Light” again.

Unfortunately, this time no one was caught by Levinas’s technique.

“Red Light! Red Light, Green Light! Red Light!”

Levinas used various techniques, but the children weren’t caught.

As expected, they have good reflexes because they are Beastmen.

It was when the children approached right behind Levinas.

“Betrayal here!”

Tap-

Bomi pushed Haneul and Gaeul, who were in front of her.

“Gasp…!”

“Eek!”

The eyes of Haneul and Gaeul, who were being pushed, widened in real time.

Behind them, only Bomi was chuckling.

“I’m the only winner!”

“……!”

Dazed.

Gaeul’s eyes were popping out, and Bomi was proudly puffing out her chest.

Behind those children, Kwon Arin was approaching.

Kwon Arin’s expression looked somewhat troubled.

“Ah… so you guys were here.”

“Yes. But did something happen? You don’t look good.”

“Ah, it’s just that… I think my sibling’s college assignment failed because of me.”

“If it’s a college assignment, isn’t that the one you asked me about last time?”

“Yeah. The professor didn’t believe it.”

Haa.

Kwon Arin’s expression wasn’t good, perhaps because she thought she had ruined her sibling’s college assignment.

It was pitiful to see her sighing deeply over a family problem.

“What didn’t that professor believe?”

“They didn’t believe anything. They thought there was no basis for Beastmen using Won or that it was a democratic country.”

“I see…”

So the university considered what I said to be absurd.

The Beastmen society has been opened, but it was only open to some humans.

It seemed that insufficient evidence was the cause.

‘Should I take a video of the evidence and send it?’

Even if I took a video of what I was saying and sent it, there was a high probability that they wouldn’t believe it.

There was no credibility in what one person said.

It seemed that I would have to travel around the Beastmen village and meet various people.

“Shall we go to the Beastmen village and take a video of the evidence?”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Yes. There’s nothing more frustrating than being wrongly accused.”

“That’s true.”

Was she happy that we were taking a video of the evidence?

Kwon Arin’s expression improved.

**

We all moved to the Beastmen village together.

When I said we were going to the Beastmen village, Ensia, Argo, and Marin came along with us.

“I wanted to go to the lake anyway, so it’s a relief.”

“The lake?”

“Yes. It’s like my home. Of course, I like my current home too.”

“Ah…”

Marin must have missed the lake.

I thought it was a good idea to suggest going together.

“By the way, where is Nora?”

“She’s probably working hard on rebuilding the village.”

We followed Ensia’s guidance and moved to where Nora was.

Nora was in the area that used to be a shantytown, but the shantytown was now a neighborhood with beautiful wooden houses instead of shacks.

“Wow.”

The village has developed a lot in the time I haven’t seen it.

I knew that the Divine Beasts were working hard to earn money, but was it to this extent?

I feel proud for some reason.

I felt my tail wagging on its own and ran towards Nora.

“Nora, I’m here.”

“You’ve arrived.”

Ensia’s unique calm voice, similar to Ensia’s, makes me feel comfortable.

I approached Nora and showed her the camera.

“Nora, can I ask you a few questions?”

“Yes. As much as you want.”

I sat Nora, Ensia, Argo, and Marin on chairs.

I took a video with the beautiful Beastmen village and the Beastmen children running around the village as the background.

“Nora, is there a Wang in the Beastmen village?”

Nora seemed to be contemplating my question for a moment.

She moved her eyebrows back and forth as if trying to grasp the intention of the question, looked at the people around her, and then nodded.

“Yes. There is.”

“T, there is…?”

Wasn’t the Wang system abolished in Beastmen society?

I was only blinking in surprise, and Argo, who was sitting in the chair, began to laugh heartily.

“Captain! Wang is Captain!”

“Me…?”

No, I told you a long time ago that I wouldn’t do anything like Wang.

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by everyone’s reaction.

“I’m not going to be Wang…?”

“Gyeoul, there is a bit of a problem with this.”

Ensia spoke to me, who was flustered.

What’s the problem?

I listened carefully to Ensia’s words.

“Our Beastmen have lived worshiping one Wang for a long time.”

“Yes. I heard that.”

“Now that we are told to live without a Wang, many Beastmen are confused.”

“I see…?”

“Yes. So the Beastmen have interpreted it in their own way. The order to live without a Wang was given by the Wang named Gyeoul.”

“……”

So the Wang is ordering to ‘follow the democratic system’.

That’s not what democracy is.

I couldn’t hide the embarrassment that was seeping out of my expression.

“Are people considering me as Wang…?”

“Yes. Gyeoul saved the Beastmen village. It is natural to follow the savior.”

“Didn’t everyone save the village together…?”

Why is it that I’m the one who saved it?

Frustrated, I placed my hand on Nora’s shoulder, who was sitting in the chair.

“Nora, you know, Wang is no longer needed.”

“Yes. I know, but…”

“Wang is no longer needed in the Beastmen village. Even if I ask you to give up the Wang position again, you have to refuse.”

“Even if Gyeoul wants to do it again…”

“No!”

I looked at Nora with a fierce face.

But Ensia, who was right next to me, was smiling contentedly as she looked at Nora.

“Ensia?”

“…Gyeoul, I was just impressed by Nora’s loyalty. I will only believe and serve Gyeoul’s opinion if Gyeoul does not want to be Wang.”

“……”

Loyalty.

Believe and serve.

It seemed that our Beastmen had a long way to go.

**

When I returned home, I looked back at the video I took in the Beastmen village.

-Nora, is there a Wang in the Beastmen village?

-T… there isn’t.

Nora, who was stuttering somewhere.

For some reason, Nora couldn’t even look at the camera properly.

-Flora, is there a Wang in the Beastmen village?

-Let’s just say there isn’t one for now.

The Yang Beastmen Magician Flora replied with a benevolent smile.

She says there isn’t one, but for some reason, the line was meaningful.

It seems like everyone is mumbling a little bit.

Is this enough for now?

The good thing is that they cleanly admitted that they use Won as currency in the Beastmen village.

‘It’s not a lie.’

I sent the video I took to Kwon Arin.

I hoped that Kwon Arin’s sibling’s assignment score would be resolved well.
