Frog in the Well (2) ― The Beginning of One Mind Salvation Church

The chief sat in his seat without saying a word and remained silent.

The living quarters look rather narrow compared to its gigantic body.

However, compared to the early days when I was bored, the more structured structure was noticeable.

Although it is significantly slower than other cities, this may be why Taecho continues to develop in its own way.

“Wow! This is meat you only see in cartoons! Isn’t this a real tomahawk, Mr. Kang San?!”

“… … .”

“There is more, there is more, Little Wind—!”

“Oh! Jesus Christ! No, oh, salvation one—!”

A world duo who almost threw away their tribe members.

Among them, the chief’s eyebrows twitched at the castle lord’s fuss, which resonated loudly all the way to the chief’s residence.

He asked me, pointing to the castle visible through the gap in the tent.

“What is that, wind.”

That’s it… … .

I smiled softly at his question and sat down gently.

“An awakened person in a similar situation to you.”

“… … Why?”

Sincerity filled with just one word.

I shrugged my shoulders at his curious face.

“Unfortunately, this is the situation, Chief.”

“… … Sniff!”

Even a simple snort was enough to express that he didn’t like it.

The guy glanced at Seongju again with bug-like eyes and whispered secretly.

“If you get hit with something like that, everything will get better.”

“Oh… … This is the most welcome thing I heard today.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the chief stood up like a moon.

The purpose was clear as he picked up the crude spear that had been left right next to him.

“Chief—”

The chief’s body, which seemed as if it was going to rush to the castle lord at any moment, stops at my recitation.

I quietly looked him in the eye and continued talking.

“I said it was nice to meet you, but I didn’t give you permission?”

“… … Sniff! One touch and it’s over.”

“Well, I don’t think it will end the way it did?”

“There are more than one weed brought by the wind.”

“It doesn’t matter whether that guy is a small wind or a weed, Chief.”

It didn’t matter whether it was the name “little wind” that the tribe members suddenly came up with, or the derogatory name “weed” that looked down on the lord of the castle.

More importantly-

“I didn’t give permission.”

“… … .”

“It was so long ago that you barely remember?”

or not-

“Do you think it’s worth giving it a try now?”

“… … .”

The chief did not answer my question.

The chief, who had been glaring at me for a long time, sniffed! I sighed and sat down on the floor.

thud-!

The ground slightly shaking and the spears scattered on the floor again.

However, perhaps due to unresolved rebelliousness, the guy’s head was tilted even more crooked than before.

“If you’re going to keep looking at me like that, why not just coolly attack me once?”

“… … There is no fool who has nature as his enemy.”

… … oh.

Ju-eok’s head naturally tilts at his answer.

Yes, if you’ve suffered that much, it’s impossible for it to be imprinted on your body, no matter how much you are.

How many times have I thrown the crazy guy on the ground while he was running at me?

When it was harassing the tribe with its tornado, its constant roar was deafening.

However, even after giving that answer, his posture and expression still showed no signs of improving.

okay-

You are better than talking all day like Seongju.

“What if there is such an idiot?”

After making my own compromise, I started asking him real questions.

He answered my question straight away with an expression that made me wonder if he was asking something like that.

“Just kill it. Are you stupid?”

I was dumbfounded by the way he looked at me as if I was looking at a rare idiot, but I held back and continued with the next question.

“You’re asking because you couldn’t kill it, right?”

“… … Wind.”

At that moment, the guy narrowed his eyes and craned his neck forward.

The man spoke in a whispering voice, unbecoming of his size.

“Did you lose?”

“… … .”

My body shook without realizing it because of his short question.

The chief sniffed at the expression that said nothing at all! He answered with a snort.

“Then will it die soon?”

… … This guy is really annoying too.

I shook my head and answered his question.

“No. But it would be correct to say that I belatedly realized that my competitor was ahead of me in some way.”

“… … Idiot!”

The chief raised his eyebrows and let out a laugh.

“What is ahead of the wind, fool?”

… … The more I listen to this bastard, the more I wonder if he is feeding me or flattering me.

In times like this, it would be better for the castle lord to just flatter the fairy.

“Anyway. It is certain that the enemy is coming.”

“Sniff—! Even if you didn’t say anything, weaklings have already come several times.”

The chieftain looks like he’s talking about something trivial.

I also already knew that Daehan’s detachment was cruelly defeated by the chief.

However, it was clear that Yeoncheol and Prophecy were threats of a different level.

“An enemy other than that weakling is coming. There may come a time when protecting against an enemy may come.”

“… … Protection?”

“Have you been under our protection all along?”

When I answered the question with a lot of consonants in an effeminate manner, the guy closed his mouth with a dissatisfied look on his face.

“We haven’t said much since we are family, but if you think about it, isn’t this the beginning of living on the land of Salvation Church? We were protecting our family.”

“… … Gajook?”

“Yes, family.”

I looked at the patriarch who had an abnormally obsessive need for family.

The guy shook his head and started to refute what I said.

“We give you food and horses?”

“Why do you say you are giving that to me? It was originally ours?”

“This is the land we were in from the beginning?”

“Not anymore, right? Now this is my land?”

“Keuuu-!”

thud-! thud-!

The chief pounded the ground with his fist and let out a long snort as if he was frustrated.

As he struck his fist, the ground shook all the way to where I was.

“No matter how much a family donates, shouldn’t they receive something in return?”

“Now ask that question from her, not me.”

The chief pointed to the priest outside the tent with his chin.

I shook my head, denying his words.

“No. That’s not what I need, it’s you, Chief.”

“… … ”

Seongju silently glares at me without saying a word when my name is called.

I made eye contact with him and continued speaking.

“You should move with me to protect your family, not my orders.”

“I don’t like it.”

The answer comes right away without even thinking about it.

“Why.”

“If I’m not there, who will protect my family?”

“I will take care of that and handle the Holy Knights―”

“Sniff—!”

A snort that cheekily interrupts me.

The guy cocked his head again and asked back.

“When I go out hunting, will the wind protect my family?”

“No. You and I move together.”

“Then why should I entrust my family to weaklings?”

“Because that’s the way to protect your family.”

“Entrusting my family to weaklings? Sniff—!”

Just listening to the tone of voice, it was clear that he had no intention of giving in at all.

I also asked, tilting my head back crookedly just like him and Decalcomani.

“So you won’t pay rent?”

“… … I’m not going anywhere. Where my family is is where I belong.”

“Even if that means I could end up losing my family?”

“I’m not going anywhere, wind.”

Haha, this bastard or that bastard.

Why don’t you listen to me like this these days?

Kiiing—!

Telekinesis that is revealed with a softly resounding movement sound.

Following my slowly lifting hand, the heavy body rose into the air.

Knock knock!

Even with the telekinetic force tightening his throat mercilessly, he was looking at me without changing his expression.

A completely different reaction to telekinesis, which was not much different from the one he had given to Seongju.

In a way, the very calm expression on his face was the chief’s irritating will to refuse orders.

thud-!

In the end, I sighed and removed the telekinetic powers that had bound the chief’s body.

It must have been the moment when the airway, which had been tightening, was secured again, but its eyes were looking at me without moving a single inch.

Just as I used the chief’s family to put a leash on him, does this mean he can also take off the leash if it’s something related to his family?

Rather, it was even more difficult to control because it was related to family, which was his main deficiency.

“… … My eyes are shaking.”

The chief, who was quietly looking at me, slowly muttered.

“If you keep your eyes shaking like that, the hunted becomes the hunter.”

“… … .”

I wanted to scream at him to shut up.

Right now, I wanted to curse at that idiot chief who knows nothing and that idiot who doesn’t even know what’s going on.

but-

I glanced outside the tent and glared at him again.

The chief continued to look at me and muttered one after another.

“It’s such an urgent matter, but where did Baram’s family go to find us?”

“So, you and I are included in that cage, this bird―.”

“Funny sound. Normally, when a wild animal attacks you, you hide it behind your back in order of importance.”

“… … .”

“You and I are not family, wind.”

The green eyes of a guy who always roared at the whirlwind.

That deep green piercing through me.

“You must protect your family. I will protect my family.”

“… … Ha.”

Suddenly, I remembered what Seong Ga-eul said to me when she handed me the Gyoju Maker.

How am I going to attract people who are already safe enough and don’t need anything I give them?

As an answer to that question, I hung a leash.

I filled the gaps they were truly looking for, or guided them in the direction they wanted and hung them around their necks.

Nowadays, the leash does not work for the awakened man who has been given the leash of ‘family’.

How do we govern a special species that does not give in even to threats of its life?

How can I embrace the half of the world that I have rejected into the arms of One Mind Salvation Church?

“Well, should we go out hunting together?”

“That wouldn’t be bad either. Even so, I have been teaching new family members who have come to ride strange horses these days.”

“Ha- Is this a new concept of power abuse these days? Is the tenant patient with the landlord―”

There’s nothing I can do since it’s coming out like this.

“Oh, I don’t know – take care of it yourself. When things get dangerous, do you drag yourself out and come to paradise?”

“Sure.”

“If you notice anything suspicious, go to the temple of Paradise, ah, the largest white building in Paradise, and tell the vice principal. You can do that, right?”

“Sure.”

You can’t drag around a bastard you hate like that, holding the tribe members hostage.

I couldn’t create the family bond he was talking about with him in a short period of time.

I gave up on taking the chief with me and pitched the tent.

“But what is that white tree, guide?”

“… … Ugh!”

“… … Eh? Why are you doing this all of a sudden, Mr. Kang San?! Oh my – that’s why I told you to eat slowly. I knew it from the moment you ate it in such a hurry!”

“No, I just got dizzy looking at that tree― And you ate all the meat, Lord!”

“Ehehe― This person is so dizzy that he is seeing nonsense―”

As soon as I pulled back the tent, I automatically frowned at the loud voice.

When I turned around again and looked at the chief, I saw that he was also frowning and looking beyond the tent.

“Are you really not going together?”

“… … Rather kill me.”

“… … Yes.”

Seeing something like that makes me want to go with them.

“What will you do if I find out the enemy’s location?”

I finally turned to the chief and asked.

“If I protect my home with knights who are never weaklings, will you fight with me?”

“… … .”

The chieftain silently looks up at me with a firm denial and no snort.

“… … Yes.”

This silence was enough for me to hear the beginning.

“… … Ugh—!”

“Ai! I wouldn’t even touch a man like this, but since I’m Mr. Kang San, I’m doing it with a real heart-!”

Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!

As I walked back to the center of the tribe, two Worlds without Dumb and Dumber greeted me.

Kang-san clutches his head as if dizzy, and Seong-ju pats Kang-san on the back.

Seongju saw me approaching and quickly stood up.

“I’m the head teacher! Did you have a good conversation?! Now, you definitely told me to leave the shotgun at home, right?!”

“If you’ve done this, let’s move on to the world.”

“Oooh—! Finally—!”

match-! match-! match-!

Lee Hye-seong applauds loudly because she is so moved.

Seongju shook his head and whispered as if he was overcome with emotion.

“Ah― I feel like a student getting my exam graded for the first time in a long time. ruler-! I will treat you to a full course meal! Hurry up and get out of this village!”
