Have a Meal Before You Go

Shadow Cat in Wonderland

Eugene stood still and looked down at the tombstone.

[Eugene Woo]

[Sleep here]

“Bye. ”

In the middle of the battlefield, the Association was able to catch Eugene Woo's body and Poriner's executives. It's been telling the truth about the end of Poriner.

Most of them died.

Blackmamba and Nightmare are the only survivors. There were only two of them.

They demonstrated most of the information. From the story of the fuse to the information of the early Demon King to the machine civilization.

“Phew.......”

Eugene turned his head and looked up at the sky. It was a clear and clear spring weather.

Spring!

He walks away from the shabby tomb.

He could not sleep in the tomb of rest.

The war is over, but the association has a bigger homework assignment. It was not long ago that the citizens were informed of the end of Poriner, but that Poriner was only part of the iceberg.

“....... ”

I also heard interesting stories.

There is a king in every dimension!

And he is, in the present world. They're after the King of the Earth!

Fortunately, based on their narrative, there were at least a few years. It was said that the Demon King, who was invited to the Machine Civilization, would not be able to return soon.

Indeed.

Who is the King of Earth?

You mean unknown power?

Eugene saw white light and dark light fight in the sky that had been pierced in the battlefield in the past. The white light was an unknown force familiar to the Society.

Is he the king of the Earth?

“It's complicated.”

I have a lot to think about. When you're the head of a group, you always have a lot to think about so you can't sleep.

Later, I thought that if all the big things were over, I would want to live farming in the countryside somewhere.

Back then.

Wh...!

In front of Eugene, I saw In-young moving as fast as the wind.

“Oh, it's Gabi. ”

She is a Shadowcat. Shadowcat greets you lightly.

“The search for a new stable stone mine I found in the unmanned zone is over. The horseshoes that are released are of very good quality. I don't think we've been able to get the Poriner's side yet. ”

After the war, Poriner's realm became the council's.

It was in the realm that I discovered more than I had ever imagined. There were already two depleted stable stones mines, so the amount of stable stones they collected was hard to imagine.

“Yes."

Eugene smiles and nods.

“Yes, of course. ”

Shadow Cat turns around, and Eugene calls her.

“It's Gabi.”

“Why?”

“Three days from today, take a break. ”

“....... ”

She turns her head slightly.

“Take a vacation. How many nights did you spend?”

“That's everyday. ”

“Even the Elves won't live long. ”

Eugene ridiculed me. Shadowcat shrugs as if it were ridiculous.

“It's always Gabi, isn't it you who asks for Gabi? ”

Eugene looks at her with sad eyes.

30 years ago, since I first met her. She was always beautiful. That's more unfortunate.

Probably.

If it weren't for this world, she would have been able to live a more free life.

I'm sorry.

I swallowed the word, and I opened my mouth cheerfully.

“That's why I asked you to take a vacation. I have more to ask of you. ”

It's hard to beat an old man with words like that. Shadow Cat nods.

.

Shadow Cat changed into a normal outfit like fur. She walks downtown in broad white shirts, jeans and comfy shoes.

Nowadays, it is rather convenient to do work. Suddenly, when I told him to rest, I suddenly felt anxious in one place.

Maybe it's called a workholic.

So it is more difficult to rest. It was easier for me to be busy.

She continues to walk through the city.

The city was in the middle of preparing for the festival. Probably a cherry blossom festival. The cherry blossoms planted everywhere were beginning to bloom.

But she won't be able to see the festival. I'll be busy again by then.

“Can't I see the cherry blossoms this year? ”

She walks again, muttering at the last moment. Walking naturally, I headed to a familiar restaurant.

In that place, I could be comfortable.

* * *

“Huh?"

Is today going to be a long day?

She scratches her head, looking at the tightly closed door of the restaurant. My hair was shiny.

[Opens this afternoon.]

In the afternoon, it's still morning, so it should be around lunch.

What do you want me to waste my time with? As she sighed, she suddenly looked down.

Knng, knng -

Somehow, a tangerine appeared and bent its head back and smelled it.

“Huh, huh? ”

The youngest in the dining.Where the hell did this kid come from?

Knng, knng, knng -

Tangerine sniffed for a long time and smiled at the basil.

“Smell that. ”

“Smell?”

“Ugh.”

It seemed to refer to the smell of shampoo. She sits on her knees and touches the baby's cheeks, her luscious mandarin cheeks.

"A little baby like this is a dragon. ’

It was unbelievable. However, it is a fact, and the red-headed box, which I knew as my nephew, was also a dragon.

“Hmm?"

Back then.

“Oh, Joe! ”

Tangerine shouted greetings. She looks back and sees Fatah in walkers' shoes, with all sorts of blacksmithing.

“Elves, right?”

“Mamma!”

“Mamma?”

Pata's eyes narrow.

“Did Cheolho have a wife? ”

“Oh, oh, no! ”

She screams loudly.

After a brief misunderstanding, she sighs for relief.

By the way.

Elves, right?

She turns her head and asks Pata.

“Are you…..”

Pata shrugs. I know Chulho well, and knowing that Chulho has revealed his identity is like knowing the secrets of a restaurant.

So I answered without hesitation.

“Oh, I'm Black Dragon, Patriot Liddy. You can call me Pata at ease. ”

Her spirit fades. Black Dragon!

This restaurant is a Dragon's Lair!

“Cheolho is probably tidying up the house....... do you want to come? ‘

She shakes her head at Pata's words.

“Housekeeping? ”

“Ah, moving on. ”

Pata winks at one eye.

* * *

Sha-ah!

In the middle of a street that was always overlooked by indifference. Pata walks from the center to the wall.

Sha-ah!

Soon his body was gone. She looked down at the tangerines in her arms. Tangerine took a chocolate out of my bag and was licking it carefully. Chocolate was very big, but it was a great treasure for Tangerine.

Suddenly, Tangerine raised her head. Her clear eyes meet her eyes.

“Mamma, don't you ever lose your nose? ”

“Huh?"

“Phew…..? ”

I was filled with desperation to tell my two eyes that I don't want to eat. She chuckles without knowing it, because the little baby is so cute.

“No? I'm fine. ”

“Right? ”

Tangerine comfortably licked the chocolate from the corner again.

“Go away. ”

Then he pointed to the wall. She cautiously walks toward the wall.

Shu-ung!

“Huh?"

Suddenly, the wall disappears, and a white gate appears before you. She walks carefully into the gate.

With a bright light, she suddenly stands in the maze. She enters the labyrinth and is stunned.

“Oh my God, what is this? ”

In the labyrinth was another world. Crops grew here and there, and the sky was clear. It rains on that side, and sunshine on that side.

She was the first place I could swear to see.

Tangerine leaps from her arms and gestures at her.

“In Noona! ”

“Huh, huh? ”

Tangerine ran inside the maze. And then, Qaddang! I fell. Soon after, Tangerine stood up, smiling brightly and gesturing at her again.

“Hurry up! ”

Then I headed to the end of the maze. She lightly ran after the tangerines.

Tangerine pointed to the tip of the labyrinth, where the hole was drilled.

“Jump off! ”

Then he jumped up and down as if he were going to demonstrate, and disappeared into the hole.

“Aah!”

She tried to catch the tangerines in a frenzy, but has already disappeared to that side. She gently looks at the hole while touching her lips.

On the other side, another world was unfolding.

The landscape of the world was very familiar.

“Ah.......”

She falls into the pit without even knowing it. My body aches. Soon, I felt like I was falling. When I woke up, I was standing in a completely different world.

It was a strange world everywhere.

I felt beautiful bushes, fresh air, and stars in the sky were embedded.

Boom!

“Kahaha!”

The tangerines that fell first were swimming excitedly across the whole world. There, a grownup was being harassed by a tangerine, and it was a creature.

She carefully steps out of the sky. This was the summit of the mountain.

On the far end of the vast land, you see a giant monster.

“Sugata.......? ”

It was a class of boss monster, classified as Class 1. However, it is the Association's directive not to engage in a pre-emptive strike.

[It's a guest!]

[We've got company! So pretty!]

You hear the whispering of the Mountain Nymphs. The mountain fairies were swarming all over the place like migratory birds.

Cherry blossom trees were planted all around the mountain. Every one of those trees seemed to lose a flower bud and bloom soon.

Is that it?

There are spirits moving here and there. Wind spirits flew in the sky, and water spirits supplied water over rough ground.

This place is alive.

Earth paradise!

She thought so.

In addition.

I found out why she was so familiar with this place.

She runs toward the world water planted near the summit without her even knowing it.

The clean air that the world produces. Magic power full of atmosphere.

It was the smell of the Elven Forest.

The smell of home!

Somehow, she stood still and looked at the number of worlds. Tears filled my eyes and I fell down. I walked quietly, and I touched the world's water.

I felt cozy as if I was in my mother's arms. So, she lies underneath it without even knowing it.

The number of worlds I looked up below lit up the world with emerald light, even though it was night. She used to sleep watching this light as a child.

I close my eyes.

Slowly, she was able to sleep in a few days.

I dream of home. Now that memory is faded, only moments remain. Beautiful mountains and fragrant flowers. And the sunlight I saw there.

A beautiful, green homeland.

* * *

“....... huh? ”

When I opened my eyes, the sun was rising in the world. She realizes that an outer garment is wrapped around her body. Get up and look left and right.

“Oh, you're up? ”

Next to her was a tight-knit tightly clasped tuck of tangerines in her arms.

“Uh, uh, sorry to barge in without your permission. ”

Chulho smiles without saying anything to her.

Suddenly, the sun came up in the sky. Warm sunshine warmed the world.

When she tried to say something, Chulho put his index finger on her mouth.

“Shh.”

“.......! ”

And I pointed with my finger to the cherry blossom trees on the other side. She stares at it, breathlessly.

Under the sun, cherry blossoms were blooming one by two.

“Ah……! ”

Suddenly, all the cherry blossoms were blooming. The mountain was embroidered with cherry blossoms that were too beautiful to see alone.

She stares at him dazed. Somehow I felt exhausted. I felt refreshed and good in my head.

Cheolho watched the cherry blossoms bloom until the end, and told her.

“You can come whenever you want to rest. You're welcome.”

The voice was clumsy. She looks at you quietly, nodding.

“...... Yes. ”

Chulho smiled and turned his gaze back to the flowers. But she didn't look away. She just stares at him, still and still.
