chapter 36
36 – Picnic Plan and Great Sage (3)
Has it been about 5 minutes since the hamster’s body started to glow like that?
The light gradually faded and began to take on a human form.
That too, in the form of a sturdy young man who looks to be 180 cm tall.
“Yongyongah…”
“Kyung?”
It’s probably because he hasn’t seen his former master in a long time, Yongyong’s eyes are shining.
It’s cute… But also a bit bitter.
“Did your former master…Popular?”
“Kwaungkyung!”
I saw Yongyong, a female, smiling brightly and nodding his head.
He is tall and handsome.
Having the title of savior, but also tall and handsome…?
Aren’t you the enemy of men?
“Whoa… It’s been a while since I’ve seen this.”
Now, the light has completely disappeared, and the great sage has begun to see clearly.
He was a cool-looking handsome man with blue hair shining like a lake and blue eyes.
The phrase ‘the blue-eyed sage’, which remained as a tradition, was also meaningful.
“…….”
“Why…Why?”
Are you embarrassed because I keep staring at you?
The great sage is looking at me with his eyes wide open all of a sudden.
On the contrary, because I feel burdened, I’m staring at you to the point where I want you to stop looking at me.
Then, if you become sobbing and crying right now,
His fists are clenched.
First of all, to avoid the face of the great sage, I caught a dragonfly floating in the air.
My face was completely covered.
“Kyung.”
I don’t know if it’s partly like that, but Yongyong tilted his head and met the great sage’s stinging gaze again.
Yongyong, you bastard… I’ll give you one less snack later.
“Great… Great Sage? It’s embarrassing if you keep looking at me…”
“Elsie… You already knew…?”
“Kyung!”
The great sage came slowly and put both hands on my shoulders and bowed his head for a while.
Anyway, it seemed like it would be good for me to stay still, so I stayed still.
But this person…
Are you crying?
When you see water droplets dripping from your face, you can see that you are crying.
Or maybe I’m salivating over the sunflower seeds in my pocket.
“I’m sorry…”
As he raised his head, the great sage’s face was filled with tears running down his cheeks.
A word filled with emotions that vomits out the sadness that has not been said for thousands of years at once.
It was a word of apology that I would have passed lightly if it was the same as usual, but deep in my heart, I couldn’t simply pass it over.
Why?
I have nothing to do with him, but the words ‘It’s okay’ and ‘I understand’ are about to rise to the bottom of my heart.
I also wanted to hug and caress her right away, but I held back.
“I’m sorry. But I really wanted to say this one thing.”
“…… Dear King Jin?”
“………”
He said nothing and smiled quietly.
He didn’t understand what he wanted to say, but he seemed to know what he was missing.
“It’s nothing. I’m going to see the Pope, and Elvin should go back soon.”
“Hmm… Would you be okay by yourself? Or at least Yongyong…”
“Yongyong is Erwin’s daughter now, right?”
“That’s right.”
Today is the day my family goes on a picnic to the back mountain.
It was a bit like leaving Yongyong to the great sage.
“Then I’m done…”
I had to go to the secret room to meet Stella, so I came out as if I was running away.
*
“Is this… The reason you reincarnated me?”
I’ve shouted to heaven several times, asked my heart, and sometimes even prayed at church
It was an answer that never came back.
But the answer…
This body… Until it regains its mana…
I only got to know him when I met him.
“Until this point, I thought reincarnation was a punishment from the goddess.”
A strategy that was carried out despite King Jin’s opposition.
Because of that operation, King Jin died after sealing the chaos.
In fact, it was as if I had killed him, so he ran away after his sacrifice.
Leaving her older sister, the saintess, and the lovely baby dragon, Elsie, alone.
“But, that’s not the case. The goddess wants to grant my wish to fulfill King Jin’s will before he died…”
There were still many things I wanted to do… But King Jin was saddened by the fate of having to close his eyes.
It is not the last thing to whisper love to the one you love, but to leave the world with a will to me, as if I had killed myself.
“A new opportunity given by the goddess…Maybe this is my last life.”
We met again after an eternity of 3,000 years.
Perhaps this life will end the cycle of reincarnation.
The time has come to carry out the order the Goddess gave me 3,000 years ago.
“I will dedicate my last life to fulfill his last will… And the Goddess’s will.”
***
Perry and Yongyong are frolicking in a moderately wide grassy field with a blue sky.
It was a bit difficult to climb up the mountain, but the cold water I drank after sweating after coming up was exceptional.
And the incredibly clear air.
Even in the village where I live now, I can still taste the fresh air at dawn.
Still, is a mountain still a mountain?
I felt a freshness that was almost over the top.
“Shall we have lunch soon?”
Stella is wearing plain clothes unlike usual.
A knee-length skirt and a top like a school uniform shirt go well together.
And her hair, which was tied in two ponytails, even felt fresh.
“I’m looking forward to it. Stella said today that I can look forward to it, so I’m really looking forward to it.”
“hehehe…”
Stella smiled shyly and lightly stroked her hair.
Stella looks like a younger sister when she’s acting like a child.
I think it’s really cute to show a different side of yourself every time.
Perry is a puppy, Yongyong is a dragon…Stella is like a cat.
“Today, I also prepared a potato salad that Mr. Seo likes.”
“Coarsely ground pepper also sprinkled on it?”
“Of course. That’s your favorite part, isn’t it?”
If you pretend, you say pretend.
Stella also knows my favorite way to eat.
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t fall in love with someone like this?
“Then I will prepare, so please call the two of them.”
“Okay.”
In the state of sitting down, Yongyong started to take out things from the wooden basket that Yongyong had carried in the air earlier.
Sit in your arms full of expectations
Shouted at her two daughters playing in the grass.
“Come here, both!”
I was running around in the grass, so I couldn’t see it, so I just shouted somewhere.
Still, my daughters are smart, so they showed their faces right away.
“Kyung!”
“Bung!”
As soon as I called, the two spirits came running at high speed and started licking my face.
Right right right… After all, dad is the best, isn’t it?
No matter how handsome the great sage is.
“Are you both looking forward to it? Mom said she prepared something delicious.”
Looking forward to the two of them, he smiled and climbed onto my shoulder.
Now it’s completely reserved seats.
*
“Huh?”
I suddenly felt a soft touch on my side, so I turned around.
There was a cute rabbit rubbing its face against my side.
It was pink overall, and it seemed to be a child with an owner, judging from the blue flower hairpins in her hair.
Is it because he checked himself?
I was rubbing my face just a moment ago, but now I’m looking at the sandwich in my hand.
“Are you hungry?”
“Quiet!”
I pointed to the sandwich and quickly shook my head.
You must be hungry.
Are you an abandoned child?
“Now, eat this.”
Is this the default value?
Stella handed the rabbit a sandwich full of vegetables she had brought with her.
By the way, is this a spirit too?
Seeing that he doesn’t show any reaction when touched while eating, he must be a fairly intelligent child.
“Rabbit, where is the master?”
“Quiet.”
“Huh?”
I stopped eating and started staring at Stella.
Stella was feeding little sandwiches to Perry, who was sitting on her lap.
“Stella?”
“Kyumkyum.”
“Hmm…?”
I’ve never heard of Stella raising rabbits.
Of course, I haven’t been to Stella’s room yet, so there’s a chance she’s raising rabbits, but
There is no way that rabbit would be hungry in the mountains.
She sat down and lifted the pink rabbit with both hands, tilting her head.
Perhaps it is also a spirit, she is looking at a child who sits quietly despite lifting herself up.
I turned to Stella and looked at it.
“Stella, do you know this kid?”
“Uh…? Why is Sungyeon here?”
Stella accepted the rabbit I was carrying.
He placed it in her hand and started stroking her hair.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come out of the room?”
“Quiet!”
Sungyeon answers Stella’s words to see if she has a temper.
Rabbit is cute even when he gets angry.
“Ugh!”
“Quiet…”
That’s right.
Stella’s scream made me feel like a middle school student scolded by her mother.
“You seem to follow Stella a lot.”
“I followed her well from the first time I entered the temple of the saint. Recently, she started coming to my room…”
Originally, she sat quietly in the temple of the saintess, but it is said that she escaped one day and started looking for Stella.
Fortunately, she was found by Stella, who happened to be taking a walk outside at the right time.
Seong-yong…
The whereabouts unknown….
My long-cherished wish…..
Find…..
“Uh.”
“Why is that?”
“By any chance, what are you doing in the church to find your sanity?”
“I’m sending out a delegation to the domestic and overseas dragon habitats to search… But suddenly… Ah.”
Stella seems to have noticed too.
The church continues to dispatch priests and priests to find Yongyong, the holy dragon.
At the point of finding Yongyong, who is Sung Yong, he was wasting money for nothing.
