chapter 32
32 – Episode 32 The Weakest Achah
1.
“Now… I wish the bugs would go away.”
Ryu Chun-hee said, taking out a huge painting.
It’s different. It was the kind of pressure that even Hanarin, who had enough confidence to compete against the Achahs of the Muryum Shinsei Society, wanted to back down.
“Kkyaak…”
Paengyahwa and Nangung Yeon struggled to breathe.
Eunho looked stiffly at Ryu Chun-hee with a stiff face.
Ryu Chun-hee growled, hitting his cheeks as if to say that Eunho was adorably stubborn.
“Do you remember?”
“……. I’m sorry. I don’t remember well…”
“It’s okay. You can ‘make’ it now. With me.”
While their navels were pressed tightly against each other, Ryu Cheon-hee’s tongue ran across his own lips.
Paeng Ya-hwa, who witnessed the scene, let out a gasp and rushed forward.
Han Arin tried to intervene, but Ryu Cheon-hee’s attack was several times faster than him.
*snap!*
“Ugh!”
Paeng Ya-hwa, struck forcefully in the abdomen by an intangible force, flew through the reeds and collided with a rock.
Han Arin quickly analyzed the situation.
He didn’t kill him in one blow.
Shouldn’t we consider the possibility of the whim of a strong individual? Han Arin attempted to initiate a conversation, knowing that Ryu Cheon-hee had controlled his strength enough not to kill Paeng Ya-hwa.
“What…are you going to do with Kongja and Eunho?”
“Don’t bother talking so easily.”
As Ryukjeok swung his hand, the clouds in the sky split in half.
“!”
Instinctively, Han Arin raised his sword, feeling an immense weight upon it.
*crack…chung.*
The ground cracked. If they continued to rampage here, the earth might collapse.
“Argh…”
Thud. Han Arin unconsciously kneeled down. How wicked. He calculated and threw back an attack he should have bravely endured with all his might.
It’s just a monster. As opposed to other Yachas who were considered mutants, Ryu Cheon-hee was much stronger. Geomshin shivered at the sight.
It felt as if he was seeing the god of true war.
“We need to ask you. What are you going to do with Kongja?”
“…………”
Was it because he saw her unwavering determination in her crimson eyes? The Annihilation Yacha spoke.
“We’ll go to a distant island and live together. Maybe ten kids will be good.”
Yeona and Han Arin pressed their lips, maintaining a calm composure.
Han Arin focused on the Yacha, while Yeona focused on Eunho.
Eunho had a pensive expression. What was he contemplating? Although Yeona had no way of knowing, Eunho was considering where he had encountered Ryu Cheon-hee before.
“Is there something you want?”
According to Eunho’s understanding, the Yacha could fly. No matter how fast Han Arin’s footwork was, he couldn’t catch up with Eunho and his companions unless they were truly flying.
If it were a forest, Hanarin’s house with Eunho wouldn’t be located on a seaside cliff.
But still, Ryu Cheon-hee hadn’t given up on herself.
She didn’t even kill Yeon-ha or Pung-yahwa.
Could it be because she wanted something?
“No… I just want to stay like this for a little longer,” she said.
Was it just a simple whim?
Those girls who could only watch as she and Eunho engaged in affectionate gestures.
Eunho felt embarrassed when Cheon-hee actually expressed affection and the three of them witnessed it.
“Okay. Let’s go now. I’ve built a house too.”
“I don’t want to go.”
Cheon-hee made a bitter expression at those words.
“You don’t have the right to refuse. I don’t want to take you forcibly. Can’t you give permission?”
“That’s coercion.”
“It’s a request. For now.”
Eunho embraced Cheon-hee, who was about the same height as her, tightly around the neck.
Just like when dealing with a child.
Young-ha prepared lightning upon seeing that, but Eunho stopped her with her gaze.
“heheheh. Are you starting to warm up to the idea?”
“No.”
Eunho quickly pressed on a point on Cheon-hee’s neck.
As she felt Cheon-hee’s body stiffen, she tried to escape quickly, but…
Snap.
“Eunho… You got stronger. Being able to attack like this.”
“How…”
“Moving the pressure point is an easy task for me.”
Cheon-hee’s eyes gradually turned sticky and obsessive.
“Why… Why do you reject me? I have become stronger now. Enough to face the celestial demons and come out unscathed. I have grown to the point where I can feel relieved even with you by my side. I won’t leave you like I did in the past during the Myeongse rebellion.”
Eunho recalled a forgotten memory at those words.
When she was young. It was an incident that happened not long after she got possessed.
2.
Memory is vague. I didn’t receive a warm treatment in Moyongsega.
– Cursed child…
– Even the mother is pitiful.
– What are you looking at?
The Moyongsega where I mainly wrote and the muryimsega that used the sword. In that Moyongsega, the blind boy was considered ominous because he was born with white hair inside.
Moyong Seo-hee, the owner of the original body before I was possessed. How did he endure such persecution at a young age?
I lay still, and the girls pushed me over.
“Ahahahaha! I caught a monster!”
And then, they laughed as they got on top of me as if they had conquered me.
I relaxed my body and closed my eyes. That is pretending to be dead.
If the one residing in my body was not almost an adult, I would have surely caused a fuss.
When I showed no reaction, the girls from Moyongsega got bored and went elsewhere.
This is why the protagonist, who should have been possessed by Moyong Seo-hee from the beginning, was always standing aside.
It was then that I met Ryu Chun-hee, who will later be known as the “Queen of War” and the “Destroyer.”
I came out of the side street to avoid the girls who looked particularly depressed today.
I got lost.
I could only follow the known path because I couldn’t write down the feelings of that time.
I later found that the place I was walking was a forest.
There, a weak Yacha was lying.
“…….Don’t come, human. I will kill you.”
A Yacha with the power to enter the field of half-deity right after being born, and has the power that is different from that of a human. But the Yacha in front of me seemed to be only 4th grade. And that seemed enormous from a human’s perspective.
Ryu Chun-hee was a mix of Yacha and human blood.
“You are…”
“Don’t come.”
As I was blind, I had a strong focus on my sense of smell. I could smell the thick scent of blood.
“Are you hurt?”
For the first time, I felt wonder. And I realized that the person in front of me was not human.
It was a strange and amazing experience, even for me who had no knowledge.
“Can you move?”
“……………”
Ryu Chun-hee was extremely cautious of even a young me.
So I said. At this rate, I may be a vagabond somewhere because I’m also lost.
“I can’t see ahead. If you take me to the trading post, I’ll bring back the medicine.”
Fortunately, the deal was made.
Using the remaining strength, Ryu Chun-hee led me to the trading post.
My parents, upon seeing me, ignored me rather than worrying about me. Ignoring is said to be the most painful thing for a child rather than violence. I considered it fortunate, as I disliked violence more.
I called out for the herbalist and asked where the pharmacy was.
I didn’t really feel like it. But it was a deal.
I’m a boy. Here, I’m a girl, but I won’t completely forget my masculinity in the reverse world.
As I entered the pharmacy, one of the reasons I didn’t feel like it came to me.
“What brings you here?”
“Pharmacist.”
“Call me Ho-woon.”
“Ho-woon.”
The stubborn gaze that I couldn’t use during the time when I was incapable.
Yes. The woman in front of me was pretending to be normal, but she was a short cut.
“Something’s needed. Keep it a secret from the others.”
“Hmm…? I’m sorry, but that’s…”
“I’ll do ‘anything’! Please!”
“…!”
It reminded me of when Hana-rin spoke to me.
‘Anything.’ It’s a very interesting and ambiguous word.
“Ugh… hoo… I’ll really… do anything… hoo… for you?”
Ho-woon suddenly grabbed my hand as her breathing grew rough.
It gave me a slight shiver, but… I actually wanted to say I didn’t like it, but I said,
“Yes.”
At that moment, I took a little gamble.
I didn’t want to be eaten by Shotacon, even though I was a man from an alternate world.
So, I thought of repaying Yacha’s kindness and maybe traveling together before being eaten.
In any case, it’s a world in a novel. I thought I had to make my own destiny.
I couldn’t spend my whole life being tormented by girls.
After securing the promise, I brought back many medicines and child-sized bandages. And, I asked the doctor for some antiseptic herbs.
Carrying them with difficulty, I sneaked through the bushes to give them to Ryu Cheon-hee. His guard was down.
“…Ah…looks like I’ll live a little.”
We exchanged names.
“Ryu Cheon-hee…?”
“Why? Is there a problem with my name?”
It wasn’t just a problem with his name. Ryu Cheon-hee was the enemy from the previous calamities who would one day rival the protagonist.
I heard he killed a Blood Devil and took something from under the veil…It wasn’t the end of the novel yet, so I didn’t know what that something was. But anyway, he was a strong Yacha capable of killing a Blood Devil.
I vowed to go with Cheon-hee.
Setting it as a top-tier character in the world, I had to go with him until the protagonist became an adult and a martial arts master.
But how would I say it…
On the other hand, Cheon-hee held me back and asked me various things.
“What if I’m a bad person and you treated me?”
It was a question like that.
…Huh…
…Weak ones. Are tormented.
From the perspective of Yacha, an unusual sight of white hair. Even in the wild, creatures with uncomfortable vision are close to death.
Humans are as wicked and devil-like as monsters, so it’s natural for them to suffer.
Just like me.
Ryu Cheon-hee felt an inexplicable sense of affinity towards Eunho.
That’s how their brief encounter began.
