Jeez.

Jeez.

Cooung.

“Ha….”

It was a very difficult day.

The number of guests was amazing.

Because of what happened yesterday and because it was cheap, there were many people who took a look just for fun.

Thanks to this, I ended up hitting on customers more than feeling like I was giving them a way forward.

“Whether it’s one way or another, it’s okay if at least one person lives better.”

Fortunately, among the people who came today, there was no one with a complicated connection to the soul.

There was a person who carried a grudge and a dead ghost with him.

However, rather than harming people, the ghost seemed to be looking for someone to listen to its story.

I soothed it well and it fell off.

“Oh my… this is a long road. Commuting to work is hell.”

I went into the shrine and lit a candle.

Grumbling –

The shrine is still empty.

But things will be a little different from now on.

This is because I bought a lot of things with the reward money Hans gave me.

Unlike Randolph, who disappeared with the reward, Hans came running right away.

As I expected, the pockets were filled with coopers in a mess.

It’s a rather crumpled coin.

I was sorry for writing so carelessly.

“First, long sword.”

I stopped by the blacksmith shop and picked out one with a fairly sharp edge.

When I pulled out the knife, a metallic sound rang out.

Grumbling –

“Hiya…that guy fell in love.”

This was perfect to replace the scimitar.

When the sword was drawn and placed in the corner of the shrine, it took on quite an appearance.

“Next, the big candle.”

Candles have various uses.

It illuminates shrines and sometimes gives good or bad news.

I was planning to use the candle I just took out in a slightly different meaning.

It was a candle to wish for happiness.

It is said in the world of shamanism that if you put your heart into a shrine like this and light a candle, the spirits will look down upon you.

I don’t know if it will work here, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?

“One for Old Man Paramon, and one for the elderly at the cemetery…”

I thought about it for a while and eventually took out another candle.

“There is also one for the little bastards in my house. It’s just right.”

Two candles lighting up the shrine.

Three candles for happiness.

With a total of five lights on, the house became brighter.

“That’s right. The shrine should be this bright.”

What I bought isn’t finished yet.

When I put my hand into the bag, I caught something heavy.

“Tskcha.”

I bought it at a fruit store and it was similar in size to a watermelon.

Although the appearance was completely different.

Although it was green in color and lumpy, it seemed like it would look quite decent if you just plucked the head off.

Tuk.

Tuk.

I took out some fruits and put them on the shrine, then went out, dragging my bag.

-….

-….

Today again, the elderly people in the cemetery, heads, and other miscellaneous ghosts were watching me.

“You should eat rice, right?”

Today’s ancestral rite table will be richer than yesterday’s.

I took out everything I bought and put it all on the table.

Not only did they bring out alcohol, but they also brought out grilled skewers sold on the street.

“What guy.”

Head approached and held out his head with both hands to look at the ancestral rite table.

“Why is there a prize today?”

– …..

I could feel the eyes of all the ghosts focusing on me.

They banned sick sick people and treated them poorly, but they seem to be paying attention.

“We will all eat together today. Oh, I just left that behind.”

When I brought out the long sword, the demons got scared and ran away.

The elders at the cemetery seemed curious as to whether it was their first time seeing a sword in a while.

“There is such a thing as good.”

That it’s good.

Actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t a big deal.

Beat the drum, janggu, and gonggari.

When the flute is played to create an exciting tune, the shaman jumps around holding a bell.

What does this look like?

“Actually, this is just me playing on your behalf.”

When you have fun, bad feelings tend to disappear.

This is how you set a table and eat, dance, and play to relieve your resentment.

“To fix your rotten mind, you have to do something good and do that.”

I roughly broke the branches and stuck them into the ground.

When I laid the longsword on top of it, the blue blade stood facing the sky.

“There is no rhythm, but it will still be fun.”

It would be nice to have a drum.

Since there are no monks to play the instruments, there is nothing we can do about it.

With a bonfire lit, the atmosphere was quite lively.

“Phew….”

Now it was time to widen the scale.

“Now, everyone can run together.”

I stretched out my arm and swung the bell once.

rattle –

I jumped up and down, swinging the bell.

A song sung during a ritual flowed from my mouth.

The well-constructed melody was enjoyable enough even without the drum.

rattle –

As I slowly closed my eyes, I felt the spirits around me.

Look at this.

Even though spirits and ghosts are humans, it is natural for them to have feelings of wanting to play.

rattle –

The sound of the bell rang out as if awakening those emotions.

“Good!”

My body jumped up and down.

Just as I sympathize with the souls’ emotions, I felt that they also sympathized with me.

Rather than being possessed and becoming one with the soul, it was closer to a connection.

rattle –

I could feel that even the big god connected to me was having fun.

I was excited.

rattle –

The sound of the bells became faster and faster, and the tunes coming out of the mouth became more intense.

The elderly people in the cemetery were shaking their bodies in excitement.

“Let’s have some fun!”

The mouths of the demons opened.

It was a pure laugh, not a laugh used to scare people.

“What a treat!”

The spirits that were paying attention began to hang out near me.

He ran after me and danced wildly, shaking his body.

Another soul sat down at the table and savored the food.

Every time dancing spirits passed by, the bonfire swayed and moved along with it.

“Hahahaha!”

Laughter suddenly burst out.

All the exciting emotions came to me.

On their behalf, my body moved more excitedly.

It was so exciting that it felt like my body was floating.

“I’m excited! It’s been a while since I’ve been in the car for a while!”

I took off the shoes I was wearing.

In an instant, I became barefoot and placed the sole of my foot on the long sword.

– ….!!!

– ….!!!

The spirits were amazed and whispered to each other in their own language.

It was a natural reaction since I was standing on a sword with a human body.

“Hoooo-!”

After making a sound, I lifted my feet off the floor and stood on top of the knife.

– !!!!

The spirits were looking at me in astonishment.

Those curious eyes passed back and forth between my feet and the long sword.

“What are you all doing? Not playing?”

I jumped once again, turned around, and landed on the blade.

Instead of digging into my foot, the blade provided excellent support.

I didn’t use the jakdu like this, but what can I say?

It’s a long sword, not a small sword.

“Good. Good!”

The elders in the cemetery watched me as if they were watching a performance.

I was amazed and enjoyed it.

The same was true for miscellaneous ghosts.

Instead of the sorrow they had been harboring, joy filled them.

rattle –

The grudges held by the miscellaneous ghosts were released.

Like tangled threads unraveling, fluttering sorrows flowed into me.

rattle –

The pain that was swirling around my whole body gathered around my head and then spread throughout my body again.

It was like the spiritual energy possessed by souls, and it was also like the magical energy felt when swinging the bell.

I ran for a while, stepping on the blade.

When the things that were moving around my body settled down.

I stopped what I was doing and sat down on the floor.

“Haa…haa…Oh my god, I’m dying.”

After running for a while, my whole body lost all strength.

I felt dizzy as if I had been working on my head all day.

Well, it’s a good thing that the emotions of many souls were swayed by the newly received Aedong theme.

“Oh my…now stop playing and eat.”

I didn’t even have the strength to eat.

“Haa…haa…what is this?”

Although my body had no strength, it was overflowing with unknown energy.

“Is this something you can build up in your body? I am not a Taoist…”

I have seen Taoist monks building up energy.

It felt similar to what is called magic in this world.

However, the energy I felt in my body now was closer to the energy of souls than those.

“Does it make sense for spiritual energy to accumulate in the body of a living person?”

They were telling me to move them because they felt a tingling sensation.

Spiritual energy flowed according to my will.

As I stretched out my hand, my spirit touched the table.

The fruit on it fell to the floor.

“Crazy……”

It was as if ghosts were playing a trick.

***

There was a person walking with a deeply pressed robe.

The footsteps that had been wandering here and there as if looking for somewhere began to move as if possessed.

“Ahh….!”

A small exclamation came out from within the robe.

It was a pure and clear voice.

“It was referring to this place.”

Her steps became faster.

And she was perched on a large tree, looking somewhere attentively.

“Sylph.”

The spirit that appeared at her call swirled around her and disturbed the wind.

The more the Sylph wandered around, the more her presence disappeared.

“No way….”

How long did you search for it?

There were countless people waiting for him to return after completing his mission.

“Finally…!!”

The figure in the robe clenched his fists as if excited.

Unable to overcome his passion, a trembling voice came out of his mouth.

“I have finally fulfilled my mission…! World tree…!”
