‘You came suddenly.’

I was embarrassed that Princess Hongryeon suddenly came to Hyehwadang. Because I was in the middle of studying for a while, I wasn’t even ready to serve guests. Princess Hongryeon was also showing a reaction that she had no idea that she would be possessed by Sarah’s body.

Princess Hongryeon, standing in the living room, looked around and said.

“Honestly, I’m very embarrassed. I was also taking a walk with the maids when I suddenly became possessed by my younger brother.”

“Were you taking a walk with the maids? Then isn’t it a big problem because Princess Hongryeon suddenly disappeared?”

“It’s okay. I told people around me that I could suddenly become possessed by my younger brother and disappear. The maids are probably thinking of doing the same.”

“Do you really want to do that?”

“Maybe?”

Before coming to this world, Princess Hongryeon was taking a walk with her maids in heaven. Because he could not control the timing of being possessed by Sarah’s body, he was suddenly summoned to this world. I was curious about what was happening in heaven now that Princess Hongryeon had disappeared.

Is this really what the maids want to do?

Aren’t you causing a fuss?

“I see.”

There was no way for me to see the celestial landscape.

I just had to believe what Princess Hongryeon told me.

Although I was suddenly possessed.

Princess Hongryeon took interest in me, her eyes shining as if she liked me.

“So what was Jinwoo doing? Are you reading a book?”

“I was studying. I’m taking a test at school starting next week.”

“Study… ? Are you trying to study for past exams? I hope you pass the civil service exam. ”

“No, it’s not like that. These days, there is no such thing as past exams.”

When do we talk about past exams?

Princess Hongryeon didn’t know much about modern culture because she hadn’t been to this world for a long time.

“Hoo.”

When I told the story, Princess Hongryeon opened her eyes and asked a question.

The wide-eyed look on Sarah’s face was quite cute.

“Past exams are gone? Is that really true?”

“It’s true. These days, instead of the past exam, there is a similar civil service exam. What I study is to prepare for school exams. If we go back to the old days, we would prepare for the medalist to take the exam at the Seodang.”

“Aha. It’s an easy-to-understand explanation.”

Princess Hongryeon looked through the book I had opened and looked interested.

What happened to be unfolded was the essence of mathematics.

“The standard of mathematics? Do you think students these days study books like this?”

“That book can be used as a weapon. There are many other books. Would you like me to show you?”

“Yes!”

I took out the textbook and reference book and showed them to Princess Hongryeon.

Princess Hongryeon looked through the pile of books.

“Looking at you. I’ll give you a cup of tea.”

Meanwhile, I made black tea in the kitchen and handed the teacup to Princess Hongryeon.

Princess Hongryeon drank her tea and stared at me. After just staring in silence for a moment, Princess Hongryeon opened her mouth.

“But Jinwoo. What happened while I was gone?”

“Are you preparing for the test?”

“Not like that. In the time we haven’t seen each other, Jinwoo and his younger brother have accumulated more karma. It is good karma that can be accumulated by helping others. Did you do good deeds with your younger brother?”

What do you mean by karma?

I thought about it and remembered what that meant. It was a Buddhist term. It was a term used to mean that humans ‘do something.’ All deeds, good or evil, could be expressed as karma. It could be said to be the same concept as achievements achieved in games.

“Yes. We did do a good deed. I hunted two man-eating monsters.”

“As expected.”

Sarah and I did good deeds while Princess Hongryeon was away. It was about hunting down man-eating monsters that were eating people in Chinatown. It could be said that wandering around and performing exorcisms is a good deed. But I wondered how Princess Hongryeon realized that we had done a good deed.

“But how do you know that we have done a good deed?”

“In my eyes, I can see the good karma that humans have accumulated. There is a bright energy inside the human body that reveals good karma. The more good karma a person accumulates, the more bright energy they have inside their body.”

“You have that kind of energy? It’s fascinating.”

“Compared to the time I saw you before, Jinwoo and his younger brother’s bodies showed more bright energy. This definitely means that you have done a good deed.”

Princess Hongryeon could see the bright energy contained within the human body. It is said that in Princess Hongryeon’s eyes, the brighter energy increases as she accumulates good karma. He had the ability to see the karma of others.

‘What do you see? ‘I can’t see anything?’

I scanned my body, but couldn’t see any bright energy at all. I had no idea that karma was a visible force. I couldn’t help but think that Princess Hongryeon was using the power of God.

Princess Hongryeon opened her mouth with a smile.

“I can evaluate the psychic I reside in through the eyes of karma. Because you can know whether you are accumulating good karma according to your intentions or whether you are going down the wrong path.”

“What about Sarah? Do you like Princess Hongryeon?”

“I like it! I am steadily accumulating good karma. If you act according to my will, you should reward your younger brother.”

“Compensation… ?”

“Yes. Compensation. Psychics need something to gain to be motivated, right?”

Sarah wasn’t going around performing exorcisms with any particular wish in mind. However, Princess Hongryeon liked the medium who was accumulating good karma. This means that Sarah will be rewarded so that she can be motivated in the future.

Princess Hongryeon briefly explained God to me.

“Gods like us come to this world for a purpose. The purpose is to spread one’s will in this world. That’s why they use agents like psychics to spread their influence in this world.”

“Do we have to have agents since we are gods? Isn’t it okay to just come down to this world and start wreaking havoc?”

“You cannot come directly to the main body. The gods established a rule long ago that they would not directly interfere in the human world. Before the rules were established, the gods went to war in this world and an unfortunate accident occurred.”

“If you say it was an unfortunate accident… ?”

“This is an accident that caused a major flood in Iseung. We cannot allow another unfortunate accident to occur. So the gods held a meeting and established rules. The rule is that when interfering with this world, you must seek out humans as agents to exert influence.”

deluge… ?

A flood of mythical proportions, said to have occurred once in several myths?

I had no idea that the great flood was an accident caused by the gods running wild from this world to their original bodies.

“You know why I hired my younger brother as my agent, right? Mr. Jinwoo.”

“Okay.”

“And there is another rule established at the council of gods. The rule is that when rewarding an agent, the agent must have accumulated enough karma to receive the reward. If God gives out rewards to his agents, the world becomes chaotic.”

“Surprisingly, the rules were set out in detail.”

Thanks to the rules set by the Council of Gods, this world did not seem to be destroyed.

After finishing her explanation, Princess Hongryeon spoke to me on the spot.

“Sera cannot move now, so please accept the reward on her behalf. I’ve prepared your share too.”

“Yes? Do you have mine too?”

“Jinwoo is like Sarah’s colleague, right? If you are helping my agent, I can compensate you as well.”

“I’m a bit embarrassed to say I’m a colleague. I am a childhood friend who goes exorcism together.”

“It has a similar meaning. Get it here.”

Princess Hongryeon lifted Sera’s hand and clapped lightly.

━━Party

At that moment, two amulets suddenly fell from the living room ceiling. It was not something that was originally there, but an amulet that suddenly popped out of thin air. I received the two falling amulets with both hands.

It was like that last time too.

When Princess Hongryeon clapped her hands, diamonds fell from the sky.

The way he summoned objects like a god was amazing.

“Princess Hongryeon. What is this talisman used for?”

Is it an exorcism talisman?

Could it be that it contains the power to chase away ghosts like the Five Banners?

After listening to the explanation, I realized that it could not necessarily be used to chase away ghosts.

The talisman was simple and had a powerful effect.

“If you light the amulet and throw it, it explodes. It could blow down at least one house. If you use it once, it will burn and you won’t be able to use it again, so use it carefully.”

It was an amulet that exploded when lit and thrown.

‘You can blow down a house with this?’

As soon as I heard about the power of the talisman, I got a little goosebumps. Doesn’t that mean that if the amulet explodes now, Hyehwadang will be destroyed?

“… Is this amulet safe? Doesn’t it just explode like a grenade without a safety pin?”

“As long as it doesn’t touch the fire, it won’t explode. Rest assured.”

Was Princess Hongryeon not a fairy but a bombshell?

The items given to us every time we met were dangerous weapons. Still, I thought that if I used the amulet well, it would be a great help in exorcism.

“Because I gave you the reward, my job is done.”

“Are you going back to heaven now?”

“I can’t go back because the rain isn’t over. I have to pass midnight today before I can return to heaven.”

The current time was 10 am.

If it went past midnight, it meant that I would be in a state of possession for almost the entire day.

“I’m going to go look outside.”

Princess Hongryeon was planning to go out and look around before her possession was lifted.

I spoke quickly to Princess Hongryeon before she went out alone.

“Don’t go alone, let’s go together. I promised you last time that I would act as a guide.”

Last time, I made a promise to Princess Hongryeon. It was a promise to serve as a guide for Princess Hongryeon when she went to explore the outdoors in this world. Now is the time to keep your promise.

“Jinwoo. Isn’t it exam period now? They said they were busy studying.”

“But I can still make time for at least a day.”

Studying for the exam was important, but I couldn’t send Princess Hongryeon off alone. The consciousness was Princess Hongryeon, but that was Sarah’s body. It was troublesome for no reason to get involved in a strange accident outside. Princess Hongryeon let out a bright smile as she reacted to my actions.

Princess Hongryeon said, covering her smiling mouth with her sleeve.

“Are you following me because you’re worried about me?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Haha. I don’t feel so bad! Let’s go play together.”
