episode_0099

One piece of news I heard from Sylvia.

It appears that the research on Gordius’s nucleus and King Midas, which was being conducted by the serotonin science side, has been completed to some extent.

“Silvia, then can we see Midas now?”

“Okay. I didn’t hear about that part.”

“Really? Then why not ask Lund directly?”

Jump up. I got off the chair and landed lightly on the floor.

I needed to check the details of the news. I immediately left the inner space of the bar and found Lund.

She happened to be watching TV in a corner near the captain.

As always, in the form of ‘Hwa Daul’.

“Lundu!”

“What is it?”

“What, you’re not even turning your head.”

“Isn’t it enough to just keep your ears open? Hurry up and tell me your business.”

I, too, looked displeased at Lund’s unfriendly attitude.

“No, it’s okay. Why not ask Solas?”

After saying that, he took out the terminal.

Wow!

“Ack! Why are you like this?”

Before I knew it, Lund came up behind me and bit my leg over my clothes.

“Don’t bother Solas for no reason.”

“Lund acted like he was bothered first!”

I answered because Lund’s words were absurd.

But suddenly Lund started shaking.

No, Lund’s body was still, but it felt like his fur was trembling on its own.

“…Chris?”

“No, why are you guys out there?”

Suddenly, Sila and Janggun revealed their heads from different places outside of Lund’s fur.

“You’ve been clinging to me since a while ago.”

“Chris left us alone and went to work alone!”

“That’s because it’s work. It was a bit ambiguous to take you guys.”

“Disgraceful!”

What I was arguing about with Lund quickly turned into a hearing with General Silawon about Chris.

This didn’t do any good for me.

I immediately mentioned to Lund what I heard from Sylvia and then confirmed what was related to Midas.

Then Lund responded calmly to the point of being ridiculous.

“Solas will personally bring Midas here.”

“What? Solas?”

I wondered if I was going to take the speedboat again.

‘In some ways, I feel like Solas is more like the chairman than Lund.’

Now that I think about it, Lund is more easy-going than I thought.

He was completely different from his aristocratic father. Or did he grow up in an easy-going manner because his father was second in line?

Even if I thought about it on my own, I couldn’t come up with an answer to a question that couldn’t be resolved unless I asked the person involved.

“Lund, then can you tell me exactly when it will come?”

“Wait a moment.”

A small chip next to Lund’s head flashed several times. It was an attempt to communicate with representatives of the anti-lidocaine faction.

The three of us, Scylla and the general, just looked at Lund for a few minutes.

Lund finally opened his heavy mouth.

“Speaking of which, he said he would come today.”

“Today? Good!”

Satisfied with the answer, I jumped up and down, and although I wasn’t sure, Silas and the general also shook their bodies in joy.

“Hahaha!”

At that sight, the few customers in the bar began to laugh.

Those precious guests were all Orcs, as expected from Auckland.

There is no one who doesn’t like cute orcs, so it’s a natural reaction!

I started to joke around unintentionally, but my jokes didn’t last long.

What a joke of bloodshed. You can’t just show off a rare sight that can’t be put in a price tag.

***

When I returned to the argument again, I saw Ilseong still drinking alone.

Oh, to be exact, there were bartenders like Lina and Lillian in front of Ilsung, so he wasn’t alone.

“What, you’re the director, but you look so lonely.”

I took Sila and Janggun and headed to Ilseong’s side.

“…Is that so?”

Ilsung saw me like that and smiled slightly before answering.

“Are you waiting for Sylvia?”

“Yes, because it hasn’t come out from the inside yet.”

“Hmm.”

When I looked at him with suspicion, Ilseong gave me a puzzled look.

“It’s true.”

“Okay, I’ll believe it. But where is Ray?”

“I will be in the office. Or maybe it’s coming this way.”

“Really?”

“Because you and I are both here.”

I wondered what Ilseong’s words meant.

This probably means that since both of Ray’s precious people are here, he will naturally head here.

“But you didn’t say Youngmin this time?”

When I said my name was Ray, Ilseong would get upset and insist on using the name Youngmin.

But that wasn’t the case this time, so I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity.

“No matter what, Youngmin is Youngmin.”

“Wow, you’re so boring!”

“Among everything in the world, nothing is perfect.”

Argh! That’s it!

“You heard that from your teacher?!”

“…Ha, I guess you can’t see what I’m saying.”

Since he said that but didn’t deny it, it seemed like I was right.

After a short conversation, we stayed quiet.

Sometimes Silas and the general wriggled around on my shoulder and lap, but there was no conversation.

“Still, I still want to say thank you to Chris.”

“To me?”

“Yes, it’s the same with Youngmin. I have never followed Master’s traces here in the south.”

“Oh, that’s what you meant?”

I wondered what it meant again.

“What kind of rumor is there between us? On the contrary, you have suffered losses because of me.”

“You mean us?”

“Yes, it was the fact that we were together at the Lidocaine Association, and the fact that we were doing well at Silver Side and came to Grove Avenue…”

“If you look at it another way, you might see it that way.”

ha…? Isn’t this the part where we have to say no?

“But my siblings and I don’t think so.”

“…Really?”

“Yes, and Chris, you didn’t intentionally drag us in.”

“I’m glad if you think so.”

One of the happiest moments in life…

It would be receiving gratitude from someone you never expected to hear such words from.

“Lina, take another drink from the gentleman over here!”

“Okay, wait a minute.”

My order, which referred to Ilsung-i as a gentleman, was received immediately.

“If I keep doing this, I might end up talking to Sylvia while drunk.”

“Well, what do you think? Sometimes that’s okay.”

“Ha, that’s true too.”

“….”

While Ilseongi and I were talking, Sila and the general stayed still.

“Do you guys want to drink something too?”

“Good.”

Silas immediately answered and made a human person, and the general also made a human person in the form of a child.

“I think I’ve become good at hand drawing now.”

“Yes, both of them can now transform for over 24 hours.”

widely!

Lina quickly put down another glass in front of Ilseong.

I ordered drinks for myself and two others. Ilsung said as he put his mouth to a new glass.

***

“Just a little more and you can become a complete beast.”

“…Is that so?”

“If it goes beyond one day to two or three days, you will reach the prison in no time.”

Oh, now that I think about it, Ilsung was originally a dog fighting dog.

In terms of the process of becoming a human being, he could be said to be General Silawa’s senior.

While we were waiting for our drinks, another customer showed up at the bar.

“Chris! Ilsung hyung!”

“Ah, Ray!”

As Ilsung expected, the real Ray appeared here.

When he saw Ilseong with a slightly admiring expression, he closed his eyes and raised his head slightly as his prediction was correct, feeling intoxicated with a sense of superiority.

“Ah, there was something I wanted to show you.”

“What is it?”

Ray asked while catching his breath, as if he had been running a bit to get here.

I temporarily changed my body to that of an adult, just like I did at the meeting of the three gangs.

“…!”

As soon as I showed that, I got a reaction from Ray.

Ilsung didn’t react much since he had already seen it once, but Ray’s face quickly turned red.

“How about it? Is this look okay?”

“Ugh, yes.”

Well, I think the answer is a bit weak.

“Ray, what’s wrong? Do you think it’s not that good?”

“No! It’s not like that. Just….”

“Only?”

When I tilted my head to the side, Sila and the general also moved their heads to follow me.

I heard Lina and Lillian saying that it was cute from next to me.

“Just… I think both of them are pretty!”

“Really?”

Hmm. Ray, this guy. He’s a guy who knows how to flatter.

“Would you like to give your sister a hug?”

Since it felt good, I decided to give him a small reward.

In fact, you could tell just by looking at Ray’s expression that his words were not simple flattery.

“Huh?”

Seeing Ray’s embarrassed expression made me laugh.

“If you don’t like it, don’t!”

“Wait a minute! I don’t like it…”

Ray’s reaction was really cute when the prize was lifted and placed in front of him.

Since I brought it up first, it would be a shame not to give him an award.

“Self~”

She spread her arms wide while gently running her long hair with one hand.

Ray seemed to like the situation with Ilsung and the others looking at him.

The way she closed her eyes and was held in my arms looked like a cute chick.

“Me too!”

Silas was not the kind of person who would just watch the scene.

If it were me now, I wouldn’t be inferior in both height and size compared to Scylla, who was a human being.

“Oh, wait a minute!”

It looked really strange when Scylla rushed towards me while holding Ray.

In addition, Ilseong caught the general in the middle as he tried to attack him.

“Let go! Let me go!”

Although the general spoke slurred, he clearly declared what he wanted.

“…Hey Chris?”

“Sila, I will hug you later, so unpack this quickly.”

Ray looked embarrassed as he was caught between me and Scylla.

Silas fell down after hearing my words.

***

Among those watching Chris were Leia and Psylocke.

Laia has been there ever since her master returned right after completing the request with the others.

There was no time to say hello as the owner headed straight to the inner space to report the results of the request to the director.

In that state, Psylocke came out of nowhere and approached me.

“The owner seems to have a good relationship with that child.”

“Yes?”

Psylocke spoke to her first.

Although it wasn’t about her, it was about their owners.

“Not just a child, but the first family member.”

“Oh, I know that too.”

Family members can naturally recognize the existence of family members who have the same owner.

Because it feels like a unique energy.

However, Psylocke was more interested in the relationship between the two than in the fact that the child was her master’s first descendant.

“You seem like a troubleshooter from the Ildong office, is that correct?”

“Yes, but why are you suddenly curious about that?”

Laia had not yet let go of her guard against him.

Psylocke said that she was just asking out of curiosity.

“….”

But it was difficult for Laia to accept his words as they were.

When he was still a member of the second branch of the Lidocaine Society.

This is because the bad rumors I heard about him far outnumbered the good ones.

Neither he nor the tribe leader thought favorably of Psylocke.

“If you’re that curious, ask others.”

“Hmm.”

Laia said that and quickly left.

Psylocke continued to watch her master from afar.

However, Laia was seen approaching her owner and seemed to be talking to her while pointing at her.

“Psylocke! Come here!”

“Like this.”

Psylocke found it surprising that Leia was a more sensitive woman than she expected.

Of course, I had no choice but to respond to the owner’s call, so I slowly approached him.

***

As Psylocke approached me, I returned to my true self.

Then I saw Ray’s expression of inner regret.

“Kuhum, big.”

After clearing his throat, he spoke to Psylocke based on what he heard from Leia.

“You said you were very interested in me?”

“…I think it’s natural from the family’s perspective.”

“Do you have any questions about me and Ray?”

Psylocke listened to me and said that this was the first time she had learned that the name of her first descendant was Ray.

“You still don’t think it’s strange, do you?”

“No way!”

….

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like he understood my suspicious expression.

“To be honest, it’s not that I didn’t think about it.”

“Then what is it like now?”

“I gave up! There is no way.”

“Really?”

At the same time, he mentioned the methods he had been thinking of.

He said he had thought about turning into Ray and approaching me to get more blood, or betraying me without causing any harm.

“Wow, you’re honest in a strange way.”

Normally, you wouldn’t say something like that with your own mouth.

“After becoming a servant, my master’s influence on me was stronger than I thought.”

“So you’ve completely given up on rebellion or betrayal?”

“Giving up quickly on things that don’t work has been the secret to my success in getting to this point.”

“….”

Laia, who was listening to those words next to her, was dumbfounded.

But I was different.

If the situation changes at any time… I could only hear that he could rebel and betray if he had the opportunity.

Quickly set a trap for the Lidocaine Association. After that, it would be better to deal with Psylocke.

“Okay, that’s enough.”

“Yes.”

Psylocke walked away from me again.

“Chris, I think it would be best to stay away from that person.”

“Yes, that’s what I think too.”

There are people like Ray who feel better or calmer when they are with them.

There are people, like Psylocke, who tire me out to the point where I need to interpret the intention and meaning of their every action and word.

While I was lost in thought, thinking about a rather serious problem.

Suddenly, Sila and the general trembled.

“What, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“I feel like something is coming.”

Even though it looks like a beast, it seems like the intuition of an animal cannot be ignored.

Not long after, a loud noise was heard.

“Oh, this is incredible!”

“Chris, Solas has arrived.

It seemed like the speedboat Solas was on had arrived.

Not long after, the doorbell rang and an elf appeared.

“Hello everyone?!”

Her cheerful voice.

“Solas, welcome!”

“Chris, I didn’t know you would follow Lund’s advice and move.”

“Me too. But after experiencing it myself, I think I did the right thing.”

“If you think so, I’m glad.”

After exchanging brief greetings, I was curious about Midas, so I tried to check with Solas.

“Solas, welcome.”

“Lund, are you still like that again?”

Solas began touching the face of Lund, who happened to be in wolf form.

“Don’t do it.”

“Solas, where is Midas?”

While Lund was expressing his refusal, he asked Solas.

Solas then pointed to me at the animal carrying bag he was carrying.

“…?”

Did they really bring Midas with him in that bag?

No, it would still look like a human baby, but that’s a bit much, isn’t it?

‘Oh, no way….’

Still, since he has the power to turn anything he touches into gold… I wondered if he should have taken such a step.

“Now, come out.”

“….”

Solas placed his carrying bag on the floor of the bar.

Immediately after speaking to Midas inside, something inside started to move little by little.

“Huh?!”

Then, a golden-colored young golden retriever, also known as Goldang, appeared.

“Solas, this puppy?”

“Yes, this child is Midas.”

“Hello!”

Midas, in his golden form, waved his tail and greeted me.

No, why did Midas suddenly become a bully?

I was embarrassed, but the sight of Midas coming up to me and rubbing his face on my shoe was so cute.

But it seems like the shoes are gradually turning gold.

“What, does it matter?!”
