chapter 10
10 – What I pursue is a peaceful life like a plant
“So.. Just move this and water will come out?”
“That’s right..”
“But the river is very far away…. It’s not like there’s any special magic involved.”
“Why? There are machines that produce fire and machines that produce cold air. Beat the deceived Sam and give it a try
“Ummm… “
In response to my words, Nyale showed a dubious attitude and cautiously turned the tap.
Then.
“Heeep!”
Nyale reacts as if she was momentarily surprised.
Seeing her like this, I momentarily suppressed laughter from flowing out of her mouth.
“Mi..I can’t believe it. Clearly there was no magic involved. How can you get water in a place like this..”
“I can’t explain the detailed principle, but it seems that water is sent through pipes buried underground using water pressure. In this world, things like this are very well equipped.”
“It’s amazing.. I was honestly surprised. In a world without magic, humans have been developing such great technology..”
A refreshing reaction like someone who doesn’t know anything about modern culture.
For her, a water facility like this would literally be no different from a new world for her, who had just said that she would fetch water from a faraway river.
‘Still, I was a little less surprised by the gas range and refrigerator… Seeing things like this, as expected, this side of the technological civilization is still far superior.’
Then, uncharacteristically of her usual self, Nyale cautiously touches her stream of water while blinking her eyes.
After a little adaptation time, she still maintained her mysterious expression for about a week..
By my standards, she started washing dishes that had been piled up for 20 years.
At least the concept of dishwashing with detergent was there, so Nyale is adept at it.
She said that although she pointed out that she was wearing her suit in the middle of it, she was fine with it as Nyale wouldn’t splash her own clothes anyway. Dismissed her
‘Well, it’s because Niyale was the one who killed hundreds of people single-handedly on the battlefield and still didn’t have a drop of blood on them..’
With that thought in mind, in addition to writing my resignation, as Yoon will also be discharged sooner or later,
Gradually, I began to feel the need to properly adapt Nyale and others to this world.
‘For now, the only ones out there are me, Niyale, who hangs out with me, and Yogus, who are quick to adapt to things like this. I can’t leave my other colleagues and the Knights of Tintalos like that forever.’
Demons who are currently living in a different space created by my magic with a kind of temporary military camp installed.
The size of this space is almost the size of two football fields, so there was no shortage of space, but literally there was only space and nothing else.
There was no problem sharing things like basic light and oxygen on this side, but food and other items essential for life had to be brought in from outside inevitably.
‘As for the funding problem, I can print gold with the Philosopher’s Stone (Shining Trapezohedron…) So I wouldn’t worry.
Even if I don’t have to worry about starving to death, I’ve already made up my mind to deal with that as soon as possible, as it’s not good to keep people locked up in a stuffy situation.
But the question is… How to present them.
‘With our strength, including mine, we can literally swallow a country. But even so, it would be foolish to act recklessly.’
As the Demon Emperor, I was well aware of the strength of my colleagues and me.
But at the same time, as a guild manager, I was well aware that the power of modern nations and the hunters belonging to them was by no means formidable.
And then, crucially…
Although I worked as the manager of the hunter guild in this side, and was called the king in the other world,
Apart from this, I wasn’t particularly fond of fighting.
I just went to war with all my might because it was necessary, and it only produced remarkable results.
In this yard where I no longer have to worry about money or my brother’s health, if I asked if I was going to continue living such a bloody life after that, of course I refused.
‘There’s no need to increase the number of troublesome things when the Hunter Guild was also beaten. I’ll have to combine my opinions with my colleagues to some extent, but for now, I’m going to live quietly and peacefully like a plant..’
With that thought in mind, I started to smile slightly as I watched Nyalle wash the dishes, giving off a feeling that she looked quite happy.
Seeing her like this, who was originally washing blood with blood.. While thinking that it might be a part of the peaceful life I hoped for.
But…
“!… Ha ha..”
The next moment, a strong sign of power began to come into my senses that I had spread out around here.
Recognizing that, a sigh began to flow automatically from my mouth.
‘Is this… that woman? I honestly have no intention of seeing her again.’

“Is this here? The place where Seon Woo-jin lives…”
“Yes, it is, Mr. Seo Haerim.”
A shabby rental apartment in front of you
Unlike the gleaming new buildings built right behind it, it is quite old and small in size, and has an unknown structure in which two apartments are connected by a passageway on the 10th floor.
Looking at the place, commonly known as Bungseong Twin Hills, Seo Hae-rim, an S-class hunter, began to feel a strange feeling inside.
‘This is Seon Woo-jin’s apartment?
She knew that Seon Woo-jin’s income alone exceeded 1,000 a month.
It was an excessive amount for a manager, but honestly considering the ability he showed, it was considered acceptable.
So, while feeling doubt about the financial condition of Seon Woo-jin, who he thought would be affluent, Seo Hae-rim went inside.
After a while, Seo Ji-yoon gets off the elevator and walks along a corridor that is hard to see now.
Then, she finally stood in front of Seon Woo-jin’s house and carefully pressed the doorbell.
-Ding Dong~
A doorbell that rings with a real ringing sound, not even an electric bell.
And after a while.
Right after the time that made me wonder if I should ring the bell one more time, the door in front of Seo Herim slowly opened.
Inside, she began to see the person she wanted to meet.
‘Seon Woo-jin.. And that woman was that rookie hunter at that time..’
Unlike Seon Woo-jin, who wears relatively comfortable clothes, she wears a suit even inside her house.
One odd thing was that she was wearing that outfit, and at the same time she was wearing red rubber gloves on her hands.
‘No.. Usually when you wash the dishes, don’t you wear a suit even if you don’t wear a shirt?’
The appearance of a new hunter that makes you think it’s a bit strange.
However, Seo Hae-rim soon began to pay attention to things that were more important to her than her sense of incongruity.
It’s… The fact that in broad daylight, two young men and women were together in this cramped place.
In this regard, as she began to infer the relationship between the two men and women with an uncomfortable feeling, the landlord went inside the house after receiving Sun Woo-jin’s permission.
Just looking at her, she felt that she was offended in many ways by the woman who was making a not-so-good expression towards herself..
