chapter 144
144 – Festival (1)
“So are you okay now?”
Lorian didn’t say anything after that. He remained silent, as if he had said all he had to say and had something to think about, so we took it as a silent welcome and headed out.
Well, it might be complicated. It has to be that way.
In fact, I was secretly impressed, as I was able to get a glimpse of Lorian’s inherent patience in the fact that he didn’t go crazy.
“Maybe. Lorian still became a woman and she even cut off her arm and she even chased me … She doesn’t think anything will happen.”
Since this is Lorian, there won’t be any problems. If there’s a problem… Well, at least I don’t want to dig it up right away.
I’ll do it later when I’m ready. Even as I was thinking about it, there was something unclear about it.
I couldn’t help it because my self-reflection skills were limited to explain what was so unclear.
Well, if there is a perfect person like me, it is not easy to find flaws. If you only see perfection wherever you look.
And my older sister, who is much more perfect than me, smiled slightly.
“No, not Lorian. “I asked if Sejin was okay.”
“… Me?”
Is there anything I wouldn’t be okay with? When I looked back at my older sister, she was staring at me with her big eyes.
“Why me? I don’t really…”
“I went through something like that.”
Only then did I vaguely understand what my sister was saying.
If you look at it objectively, it was normal to have such concerns.
The golems didn’t have much of a bond, but they felt their death.
I vaguely knew the feelings they had, and I also knew why they chose death.
It is a sacred virtue. The insight that arose from focusing on the divine was clearly an ability that went beyond reading the situation.
It can be considered reading fate.
Among them, I felt like I specialized in reading the past.
So fighting was a bit like that.
Memories of the golem that called itself the god of vengeance continued to flow into my head, and seeing those memories made it difficult to deny vengeance.
Even if it were me, if someone killed my sister and still survived.
Even if it was the hand of the devil and not God, I felt like I would catch it.
The damn thing is, the god of vengeance and the god of craftsmanship. It was difficult to say either way was wrong or right.
Since I could understand either way, it was difficult to decide too hastily.
I couldn’t do a mental victory to feel at ease. As my sister said, I was in a state of confusion because I had experienced so much to declare mental victory again when I had already won.
The Empress wanted me to eat the god and become strong, and she informed me that there were Netel’s limbs in the three clans, including her.
The God of Vengeance seemed to confuse me with my ‘father’ and called that ‘father’ a traitor.
When I hear the story of the golems and the fragments that the craftsman god possessed, I wonder if it was really a betrayal.
I recalled the presence of my ‘father’ that I had already experienced several times.
A light that is not bright but soft, a rising motion.
The setting sun and the warmth that shines warmly.
… Is there really a being called ‘father’ like that?
If so, should you really express yourself that way?
I had doubts. Just look at the things that happened due to my father’s kindness floating around in my body.
I couldn’t tell whether my father was truly a good god.
Rather, it felt the opposite.
I wonder if something evil is decorating me.
So my mind was complicated. Lorian didn’t seem to notice, but my older sister, with whom I had lived my whole life, clearly noticed.
After all, it’s my sister. I heard you take good care of your little brother.
“Even if I tell you it’s okay, you won’t believe me, right?”
“Because it’s what Sejin says, I want to believe it. However… It doesn’t look okay.”
My sister was looking at me worriedly. I felt resistant to lying to my sister like that, so I rolled her eyes for a moment and then sighed.
“It’s not really okay. But it is not something that will be resolved right away, and it will not be possible to resolve it.”
“Yes… I guess so. “It’s a complicated problem.”
Before I knew it, my older sister reached out to me, and I walked holding her outstretched hand, as was her habit.
Leaving the garden, crossing the still dim dawn to the outside of the pantheon.
My sister’s expression improved as she walked, as if she was thinking back to the old days, but she was still paying attention to me.
“But if there’s anything my sister can help you with, do you really have to tell me? Because my sister is strong now.”
“Wasn’t he stronger than me originally? “I think I just lifted a 20kg bag of rice.”
“This guy.”
Cock, a long finger poking my cheek. I smiled sheepishly.
“Still… My sister won’t be able to help you. “It is a matter for me to think about and decide.”
“Yes…”
My sister lowers her eyebrows while making a groaning sound. It hurt my heart to see it, but I couldn’t help it.
Because my problem with my sister hasn’t even been resolved yet.
I felt my sister’s hand her holding mine. Hands that are warm, digging in, and clasping hands before you know it.
Even when my friends were laughing and wondering if I was too close to my older sister, I said it was because I was the one and only older sister who raised me my whole life, but I think I may have noticed that it was a little strange even at the time.
My older sister was too close to me, she cared for me too much, and she loved me too much.
It took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t like that of a typical brother and sister, but I know now.
My older sister considers me the opposite sex.
My older sister’s dirty eyes, which gave me agony and pain in middle school, were all really dirty eyes, and she still had a desire for me.
We put the lid on it for a while. We pretend not to know each other even though we know each other, and pretend there is no problem until we say it out loud.
Maybe that’s why I could feel that hint in my sister’s every action.
Even though hesitating, being afraid, and hesitating.
I can tell just by looking at him holding my hand tightly, clasping his hands and gently tickling me.
When I unconsciously turned her head and made eye contact with her, the corners of her eyes that resembled mine were folded and she smiled and her face blushed slightly.
My sister wasn’t even from the three clans. So, it was not a favor due to ‘her father’s kindness.’
It was a forbidden love that continued from the earth.
I didn’t know what to do with it. Something suddenly popped into my mind.
‘By spreading your lineage, you are reviving God’s lineage.’
Can’t you report this bastard?
It’s roughly like sexual harassment or something like that.
I can’t help but sigh. Even when his older sister was his partner, he even dismissed it, saying, ‘Incest is common among gods.’
It wasn’t a strange thing that suddenly occurred to me now.
Because of that, I was both comfortable and not comfortable dealing with my sister.
My stomach is confused. It’s convenient, but at the same time, it feels like something is piling up because it’s just a problem that was pushed aside.
But he didn’t show it. It is not an issue that should be brought up right away.
After solving other issues, I feel more relaxed.
… When exactly?
It was time to swallow the sigh that was about to come out.
“Then shall we go back soon? There is a lot to do.”
“… Huh? “What should I do?”
What were you doing? My sister blinked at my words.
“Oh my, don’t you know? “I thought you knew.”
You know, what?
My older sister grabbed my cheek as I looked at her curiously.
“Everyone was busy preparing. “You really don’t know?”
Well, from the time I came back carrying Lorian (including Huey, who was tired from walking sometimes), I got the impression that everyone was busy.
But it wasn’t building something new or expanding a building, but preparing something.
I had no idea. In the first place, after I fell from the fortress of the three clans in the sky, I didn’t have the ability to tell the time properly.
The only time I had was playing time, starting from the time I first opened my eyes to this world.
[Play time: 9,976 hours]
Unfortunately, it is a cold number with no additional information to indicate a certain period of time. Let’s take our eyes off the status window I glanced at and looked at my sister.
My sister smiled warmly.
And she said. As if he didn’t expect me to know, as if he was happy to tell me something new.
“It’s your birthday!”
*
Hey, it’s my birthday.
Even after I came back, I didn’t feel good for some reason.
The fact that my birthday was approaching gave me a new feeling.
Apart from the thought that I have been here for such a long time.
My sister still remembers my birthday.
I thought it wouldn’t be strange even if I had forgotten.
It was a bit touching.
But I, Yoon Se-jin.
As a cool, masculine man, I had to maintain my stamina, so I didn’t show any signs of happiness and said, ‘Really? I didn’t know. I thought, ‘It’s already happened like that.’ But I moved on.
My older sister was, after all, my older sister. He even saw through my inner thoughts.
“Are you excited? It’s worth looking forward to. Because everyone is preparing hard.”
Because I said so.
Or maybe it’s just because the corners of my mouth turn up too much.
Anyway, it’s been so long since I’ve received a birthday greeting that I couldn’t help it.
Even a man of steel like me craves the affection of others, and when it comes to an unspecified number of people, I tend to get even more excited.
Although I was looking forward to it, I returned to the pantheon and glanced around with a blatant gaze.
And as a result of looking into it, it was a birthday celebration, to put it mildly, but in fact, it could be considered a banquet.
It’s a bit burdensome, but I’ve never experienced a birthday party like this before, so it’s also a bit refreshing.
I’m excited and worried.
On my way across the pantheon to the nest, I encountered a man who probably contributed greatly to this banquet.
“Mr.”
“Ah, are you here? “I heard you came back.”
A dog was walking next to the man.
It was hard to believe that he had lost his owner as he walked with his tail gently wagging.
There is probably a wound inside. Maybe it’s because the environment has changed and it feels awkward, so I’m calm.
Well, considering that he was happy to see me, a dangerous person, even when I first met him, this could have been closer to being awkward.
Poor guy.
Still, I’m glad that someone who takes good care of me like an old man will take care of it.
I glanced around, catching a glimpse of Huey, a dog who seemed to be in a relatively good mood after being touched by several people.
I felt somewhat proud that so many people were working hard to prepare for my birthday.
Still, I feel like I haven’t done anything foolish.
I smiled and said I was glad.
