I am not a returner Episode 323
Treasure Hunt (2)
[It’s the real woman!]
Grumpy.
Vega appeared with a silver halo, raised both arms and spun around.
Riak, who appeared with her, stretched his body as if stretching.
[Are we leaving for that place called Black Rock Mine today?]
“Huh. “What about the restrictions of the law?”
[Thanks to a good rest in the sanctuary, almost all of it has disappeared!]
Vega lifted her straw-thin forearm and made a bud the size of an acorn.
Vega flew into the sky and landed on Ojin’s head.
[Hehehe. Sitting here makes me feel like I’m back home.]
Vega sits on Ojin’s head and gently strokes Ojin’s forehead.
A faint smile escaped Ojin’s lips.
“Where should I put my temple and is my home above my head?”
[It’s… not as warm as here.]
“Hmm. okay?”
Ojin, who felt strangely embarrassed by the fluffy hand stroking his forehead, cleared his throat and turned towards Isabella.
“Have you packed all your luggage?”
“yes. “I heard that the area near the mine is a volcanic area, so I brought some cooling equipment.”
“Cooling equipment?”
“This is it.”
Isabella held out a vest with scales on the outside.
Each scale on the vest had a complex magic formula engraved on it.
“It’s a vest with scales on the outside that are enchanted with fire resistance. “The elder prepared it.”
“okay?”
Ojin accepted the vest with shining eyes.
After the reconstruction of my body, I became almost unaffected by the surrounding temperature, but even so, I was bound to be affected if I went to an extremely hot place like around a volcano.
He tilted his head as he accepted the vest from Isabella.
“But why two?”
“Do you think you’ll be fine even if you swim in magma?”
“Oh, I guess so.”
The heat was no longer a problem for Ha-eun, who had absorbed the soul of the Dragon God.
[By the way, the preparations are over, but where is Ha-eun now?]
“What are you doing, sister…”
Oh-jin slowly turned his head and looked at the group of Yongin people gathered like clouds in the distance.
Sad cries could be heard from the group of Yongin people who had gathered so that Ha-eun could not be seen.
“Miko Mu… How can you leave us behind…”
“I will go with you!”
“I heard that the mines are full of dirty dust. “If even dust gets on the shaman’s body…!”
The Yongin people who had gathered like a cloud were holding onto Ha-eun’s feet and begging her not to go, almost like a three-year-old child asking to buy a toy doll.
“Let go! “Let go of these!”
Ha-eun was in tears as she roughly shook off the hands of the Yongin people.
Oh Jin, who couldn’t see what was happening, walked up to Ha Eun and grabbed her shoulder.
“Oh Ojina! “Guys, do something!”
“Do you remember when you acted back then?”
“Yes?”
“Try acting like you did back then.”
In the end, only after Ohjin came forward and spoke in the voice of the dragon god like last time, was Ha-eun able to be freed from the dragon people.
“If this is the Dragon God’s will… I will follow.”
[Thank you for understanding.]
Like Conan, who put Detective Mori to sleep with a tranquilizer gun, Oh-jin imitated the voice behind Ha-eun, who was pouting, holding her hand and leading her.
“Huh. “I really thought I was going to die.”
Ha-eun was carried by Oh-jin like melted pudding.
“How long do I have to do this shaman thing?”
“At least I have to endure it until the situation with Demon Lord is resolved.”
“Okay.”
Ha-eun, who had her arms around Oh-jin’s neck, jumped up and got on his back.
Munchul.
A springy feeling spread across my back.
The sense of mass was nothing compared to Isabella’s, but Ha-eun won by a landslide in terms of elasticity.
‘No, this is not the time to compare things like this.’
What is this sister doing even before she leaves?
“It’s hard, sister. “Stop it.”
Ha-eun hugs your neck and whispers a sweet voice in your ear that makes you melt.
“How can a woman over 30 act so cute…”
“Huh?”
Kuuk.
Pressure tightening around the neck.
“Where shall I take you?”
“All the way to the mine.”
“No, then what should Poppy do?”
“You can take Isabella there.”
Is it because he lived a royal life that did not suit his body while in the kingdom?
Ha-eun’s voice was somewhat excited, perhaps because of the thought of finally leaving the kingdom.
I felt like an inmate who had just been released from prison.
“Wow, whoever raised it, our Ojini has such a wide back.”
“At least my sister didn’t raise me.”
“What are you talking about, man? “I’ve raised you with needles since you were little.”
Ha-eun smiled and playfully placed the tip of her tongue on the back of Oh-jin’s neck.
A tickling shiver ran down the back of my neck.
“What are you doing now, sister?”
[Can’t you see that my child is uncomfortable?]
Isabella and Vega opened their eyes and approached Ha-eun, who was riding on O-jin’s back.
“Ah, why couldn’t I even be with Ojini this time because of them? “I’ll stay a little longer.”
[joy! A woman who is old enough to be old is not good at anything!]
“Hmm, is that what you are saying?”
Ha-eun twists her lips and spits out the word ‘ass’.
Vega’s body jumped up as if it were on fire.
[Didn’t I say it was a misunderstanding?]
“Oh my gosh. “You must be mistaken.”
“Stop it, sister.”
Oh Jin sighed and bent down to put Ha Eun down.
Ha-eun didn’t seem to really intend to carry Oh-jin all the way to the mine, so she calmly got off his back
.
[Hi hi! The main woman is not that kind of shameless woman.]
Vega, who had said something to Ha-eun for no reason and was countered with a proper counter, lowered her head with a sullen expression.
Ha-eun burst into laughter and wrapped both hands around Vega, who was sobbing on Oh-jin’s head.
“I’m kidding. I’m kidding. Sorry.”
[That’s it.]
Vega snorts and turns his head.
Ha-eun felt the urge to bite Vega’s cheek at that cute gesture.
‘With this difference in size, if you bite your cheek, it won’t be Atamamma, it’ll be the beginning of Attack on Titan.’
Right now, Vega was incarnated in a prosthetic body that was at most slightly larger than the palm of her hand, so she couldn’t bite her cheek.
instead.
“Uh huh. “Oh my God, why is everything she does so cute?”
[What are you doing!]
Ha-eun is tickling her stomach with her thumb while placing Vega on her palm.
Vega screamed and struggled with her limbs, but with her body’s extremely limited strength, she was unable to escape from Ha-eun’s grasp.
[How reckless! Come on, let’s let go of the real girl… Sigh! It tickles!]
Vega begs with tears streaming down her face.
“….”
Riak, who was watching this from afar, let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
“ha. “If other constellations had seen this, they would have foamed at the mouth and fainted.”
“My older sister is being too strict with Vega.”
“…Is that what you’re going to say?”
Huh.
“Let’s leave quickly, sister!”
“Oh yes! okay!”
[I am my child! Ha-eun’s body…!]
Vega, freed from Ha-eun’s grasp, flew towards Ojin.
Vega glares at Ha-eun while holding Oh-jin’s hair tightly in her hand.
Ohjin laughed and climbed on top of Poppy.
“Let’s go, Poppy.”
“purr!”
Poppy hit her beak vigorously and kicked her feet.
* * *
Did I run like that for about 3 days straight?
I could feel the surrounding temperature gradually rising, and the pungent smell of sulfur irritated my nose.
“Ugh, what’s that smell?”
Ha-eun frowned, holding her nose, as if she could bear the heat but couldn’t bear the smell.
“I heard there’s a volcano nearby.”
“Didn’t you say this place is a mine? “Can we dig a tunnel near a volcano?”
This is something you should never do, as toxic gas or magma may explode if you are not careful.
“Well, how should I know what the demons are thinking?”
In the first place, it was the first time I had heard that the demons were mining mineral veins.
“You said the reason you mine is for gold, right?”
“huh. “They say that this guy named Deimos is a bastard with an eye for all kinds of gold and silver treasures.”
Golden Deimos.
As the title ‘Golden’ prefixes his name, he is said to have a fanatical obsession with gold and other treasures such as expensive jewels and weapons.
“But is gold a valuable mineral to the demons?”
“well.”
In human society, ‘gold’ is a mineral whose value is recognized globally.
Even in the Magyeong, it was not known whether gold was a valuable mineral.
“The gold of the Demonic World is a slightly different mineral than the gold of the human world.”
Riak, who was walking ahead, turned his head and answered.
“Different?”
“The appearance and rarity itself are similar, but the magic gold contains the power of a star.”
It’s the power of stars.
“Like Seong Yu-seok?”
“okay. In particular, I have heard a rumor that the gold coming out of the Black Rock Mine here is imbued with very powerful magic.”
So, does Deimos now have a virtual monopoly on gold, which is said to contain powerful star power?
“Then, the reason why Mugang stole Halbuji’s treasure…”
“I think I probably heard a rumor about Deneb.”
As you can see just by looking at the temple decorated with colorful jewels and relics.
When it comes to ‘treasure’, Deneb is something that cannot be overlooked.
Of course, he could not have stolen the treasure directly from Deneb in the sanctuary, so it makes sense to think that he stole it from his apostle instead.
“Anyway, this guy is obsessed with money, right?”
“Well… I don’t know if I should call this ‘money.’ In any case, it seems certain that he is a man with a maniacal obsession with valuable and valuable items.”
“He’s like a director.”
Wow.
Ha-eun spit thickly as if an unpleasant memory came to mind.
“But it looks like we will soon be entering a full-fledged volcanic area. Shall we stay here overnight today and leave early in the morning?”
“I think it would be a good idea for me to do that too.”
The sun wasn’t completely set, but even if we went further, there was still some distance left to reach the Black Rock Mine.
If you’re going to have to pass by anyway, it would be better to spend the night at the entrance, where the sulfur gas is still less active.
“I’ll set up the tent.”
“I will prepare a meal then.”
“Then I…”
Ha-eun jumped down from Poppy’s back and took out a cigarette pack from her jacket pocket.
“I’ll smoke one~”
Ha-eun hums and runs away.
Oh Jin looked at Ha-eun’s back as she walked away and swallowed a laugh.
“I heard from my sister before that Oh Jin likes women who smoke… is that true?”
“It’s not that I like women who smoke, I just said that the way my sister smokes suits me.”
“Hmm. “Then what about me?”
Isabella put her index and middle fingers together and brought them to her mouth and pretended to smoke.
I felt completely awkward even though I was just pretending that I had never even put tobacco in my mouth.
“I think it would be funny if Bella smoked.”
“Oh why why?”
“It just doesn’t suit me.”
“I can smoke sexy too!”
I lightly stroked the hair of Isabella, who was shouting with an agitated expression.
“It’s not that I don’t like smoking, but I don’t like the smell, so don’t smoke.”
“Hmm. If that’s the case, I’ll try the vitamin stick next time.”
I think that would be even funnier.
Oh Jin swallowed a bitter smile and turned around.
at that time.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Ha-eun, who had gone to burn cigarettes in the distance, came running like an angry rhino.
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh Ojina!”
She shouted, her eyes sparkling like stars.
“There’s a hot spring over there!”
Spa?
Why a hot spring all of a sudden?
