Needless to say, the bet ended in Sur’s overwhelming victory.

Yuzu and I were tied for 2nd place, and Ujit and Yuso were tied for 3rd place. Mira was in last place.

I immediately gave Mira an order.

Go to the village at a duck walk. That was all the punishment I gave. Mira did not truly regret her sin.

However, I was just sick of Jules’ eyes full of anger and contempt.

Jules is a calm person.

I guarantee you that if I died, Mira would die too. This person tends to be a bit overly obsessed with me.

Yuso, unaware of the situation, approached me.

“Sihyeon, why are you being mean to Mira?”

The mummy froze like stone.

Jules had a look in his eyes that told him everything would happen. The fever has risen properly. Even if I tell the truth, they won’t get involved or stop me.

“Mummy tried to steal my wild goose.”

I stared at Mira.

Mira was trembling at my lie.

“Mummy? Mira can’t do that.”

“That’s not possible, so I’m doing something I don’t normally do.”

You will be able to explain this on your own.

“Ask Mira directly.”

I’m tired.

I went home right away and took off my bloody and torn clothes.

The priest’s words come to mind. Even our free will is whatever the servant wants.

Those damn bastards hid behind and pushed Mira’s back ever so slightly, and the result was a catastrophe.

“I’m resting here. As soon as you recover, I plan to go on a trip to see the root snake.”

It feels like I’m running away from God.

And Juul joins him on his escape.

“···I’m sorry.”

“Please apologize gently. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Jules growls and glares at me.

Then he sat down on the chair and looked at me.

“···Mira said something strange. They said you turned Amor into a monster.”

It seemed that way.

···From my perspective, the appearance that Shir showed was a monster itself. If it hadn’t been Shir who was revealed, I would have pulled the bowstring just like Mira.

“I heard that Amor can change his appearance into the other person’s ideal type, but if you listen to Mira’s words──.”

“Mira is right. Shir was like an immortal.”

Jules eyes widened.

“Immortal? Shirga?”

“Yes. An immortal monster that can change into anything. However, the transformation ability that Amor mentioned called Polymorph was a magic that could only transform into the other person’s ideal.”

Amor told me.

Thanks to the restrictions of polymorph, he polymorphed to suit his friend’s father’s tastes and was proposed to him.

“Amorga… No, do you mean that Shir stands on the border between Amor and Immortal?”

“Yes.”

Immortal is a mythological monster so famous that Jules knows it.

Immortal monsters that can transform into other demi-humans.

Jules’ answer came a long time later.

“···I need to talk to my sister.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I have to take Shirdo to the root snake.”

······I don’t know what kind of ability it was, but the Shir that was catching wild geese looked like an atypical creature that mimicked itself. When I received the dragon’s warning to beware of immortals, I thought I could do it.

But now… after witnessing it, I get goosebumps. It’s time for the priest’s help.

“The journey is dangerous, will you understand?”

“You have to force them to do it.”

“······Please accompany the priest.”

I was curious as Jules looked at me.

“With your father?”

“Yes. The priest also said he would help. The priest will help you persuade Heilang.”

“······You are prepared for anything. No one would have believed you.”

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been hit by a bow.”

This was the first time I knew servants would attack in this way.

Are things like gods causing conflict between people and killing them? Everyone secretly calls me Shir, and like Mira, they must have some kind of hesitation or reluctance.

That led to the breakdown of the relationship.

Jules stands up.

“Like you said, I should go with my father first.”

“Please come back.”

“I’m resting well. Also, don’t wander around.”

“Yes.”

Jules walks out the door with a clanging sound.

Finally, the breath I had been holding in was released.

“······Fuck.”

It’s a truly unrealistic life.

I want to go back. I was able to survive thanks in no small part to Shir’s improvisation. Otherwise I would be dead. In other words, it means that he should have died originally.

I lived on Earth for 28 years and had no chance of dying unless it was an accidental accident. Someone trying to kill someone? The momentum itself is different between someone who comes to kill you and someone who just tries to beat you up.

I could feel it and know it.

In Korea, there was not a single person who planned to kill anyone.

In particular, Korea is the country with the highest security rate. It was unusually safe. Even though there were missiles flying over my head, it felt like an annual event.

Statistically, Japan ranks first in security, but that’s because the police there handle things haphazardly. Japan doesn’t shoot at all.

However, in Korea, there are no harmful aides, let alone gangsters.

Let alone harmful birds, it is difficult to find even a pheasant or a squirrel in Seoul. What if someone hits me? He tells me to beat him up again, and I get caught up in the thought of finding an oriental medicine hospital and getting the settlement money.

Am I really going to die? We must get compensation, and justice must be served.

There are no underlying safety concerns.

······That’s not the case here.

Due to malice and misunderstanding, I almost died several times within the three months I came here. Now, they are even being targeted by God.

A story about how death is familiar. It’s dangerous so be careful. Actually, I spilled it all. I know it’s risky, but it’s never been my story. I thought it would be natural in the future.

It was like my parents’ trite advice not to go out late at night. The gap was hardly bridged. Death and danger are more familiar to me than I thought.

Suddenly, the devil’s words came to mind.

Memories aren’t that important.

It was only now that I realized that those words also had this same meaning. I also had the insensitivity to safety that is unique to Koreans, which arose because it was too safe.

Memories and experiences came across as poison.

…I’m scared now.

Who is my person and who is my enemy? Who is someone you can smile and talk to, and who is someone you need to be wary of? In fact, isn’t even Juul trying to leave this village to kill me? To appease God’s wrath?

······I really don’t know anything.

When I throw away my ‘ordinary’ cane, I am afraid to take a step.

“Sihyeon-ah…?”

“Shir?”

Unlike usual, he opened the door carefully, like when he first treated me alone, and only put his head in to look at me. When I saw Shir, negative emotions started to bubble up.

“I’m sorry… I, I… Ugh──!”

Shir let out a sigh and burst into tears.

Because Shirt can read emotions that cannot be expressed in words. This is more primitive swearing than any other terrible language. Thanks to you, my heart became depressed.

This must also be the servant’s aim.

“Come in. Don’t stand there.”

“I—I didn’t think Mira would do that——! I thought we were all friends…! I’m sorry for not listening to you…”

I feel a sense of homogeneity.

I guess I wasn’t the only one who was insensitive to safety.

“I’m sorry…”

“Stop babbling about what you have to say, come inside.”

Shir hesitates at the harsh words and enters the house.

As I take the seat next to me, Shir sits down next to me. Those eyes turned to my blood-stained clothes.

“What do you think I have in mind?”

“You’re blaming me, right?”

“That’s right. I resent you.”

Shir trembles.

Amor’s blood is a nonsensical elixir that transcends knowledge, so if you just sell it, you could have enjoyed it for the rest of your life. In other words, he could have gone into hiding and consumed Amor’s diluted blood for the rest of his life.

“Shir.”

“······Why?”

“There is a scale in people’s hearts. Emotion and reason are hanging at each end.”

Shir stands awkwardly in front of me and looks at me.

“The scale, shaken by some accident, tilts and regains balance.”

I hugged Shir like that.

“You may hate Mira now, but will you hate her in the future?”

Shir looks at me.

“Not me.”

“······Me too.”

“I won’t hate you for the rest of my life either.”

You, Mira, and I were just swept away by the servants.

“Don’t judge only by what you are feeling.”

They are bigger than me, but they are all kids.

If God’s job is to instigate children to commit murder, then it is right for such a God to disappear from the world.

I coddled Shir for a while until he calmed down.

*

Mira did not appear in front of me.

In that case, all you have to do is respond with nice revenge.

“Okay. Does this mean that if it lasts longer, I might not be able to see you for about a year?”

“Yes.”

Schwein let out a groan as he pondered.

Then, it suddenly disappears under the counter.

“I’ll bring you something you can take with you on your trip. They also gave me about twenty arrows…”

“Yes.”

From that day on, Dennis’s spirit sharpened.

Should I say it has become more business-like? Always maintaining tension. The brain consumes the most energy in the human body. It meant that Dennis was working hard on himself.

“Do you still have the lighter? I’ll have to bring extra cotton, wick, and oil flint. In particular, oil is unexpectedly useful.”

Schwein stroked his bearded chin and began pulling out items from various places, including the workshop and the workshop warehouse.

However, because we didn’t take everything out, but only what we actually needed, the luggage we packed wasn’t that heavy.

“Take this and go safely. You will have to endure the southern rainy season several times without shelter. I’m good at finding a hiding place to rest in between.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you, thanks to you, I was able to make a connection with a person named Felix. We are also conducting research on manufacturing alloys that do not rust easily and can be mass-produced. When you return, Felix will also be in this village.”

Felix is coming to this town?

I’m looking forward to that again.

I wonder if my hair has grown well.

“You did a good job of persuading me. I’ll just go now.”

“I hope you have a safe trip.”

I waved to Schwein and walked up to the highest house. In front of the tent, the priest, Heilang, and Dennis, Shir, and Jules, who were going on a trip together, were waiting for me.

The amber eyes that looked at me turned to Jules.

“···Sister. Please take care of Amor.”

“Of course. You will never get hurt.”

The priest hugs Jules lightly.

“Return in good health. I hope everyone can see you smiling when you come back.”

“Your father.”

Heilang sat down and scratched Shir’s head, brought them to eye level, and placed a necklace around Shir’s neck.

It is a lumpy bronze necklace that was forcibly carved out of something.

It’s probably a valuable item.

“Don’t get angry at your aunt or Sihyeon and listen to them, right?”

“I don’t do that.”

Shir frowned and turned around.

Heilang just smiled a bitter smile mixed with worry.

After patting the back of Shir’s head one last time, Heilang stood up.

“Take care of yourselves.”

“I’ll at least buy you a souvenir.”

We went on a trip to meet a root snake.
