Have a Meal Before You Go

The climate is changing.

It is a strange phenomenon of spring weather in the morning, summer weather in the day, fall in the afternoon, and winter at sunset.

Cheolho looked up at the clear sky.

“...... ”

Then, I took a mint out of my pocket and put it in my mouth.

* * *

Shadow Cat has been extremely busy lately. I was free for a while, but I was really busy for a few weeks.

The reason is simple.

Interacting with other civilizations.

In the past, the world has been divided into different countries and has lived in groups of different races. It collapsed into a monster invasion, and 30 years passed.

The old boundaries became famous, the country collapsed, and many civilizations were destroyed.

Nevertheless, humans have survived again and are blooming new civilizations.

The Association has successfully revived five cities. Soon, the sixth Great City will be completed.

The Society has continued its exploration of interactions with other civilizations. A total of three new civilizations have been discovered in the process.

This time, it is the land to the north that leads to exchanges.

North, beyond the Korean peninsula of the past. In the old days it was called Russia.

* * *

Korea has developed a surprisingly large number of Awakenings, which has led to the rapid development of civilization. However, the rest of the region has not, and the civilization is still at a low level.

She was not the type to divide human grades by that distinction.

Not just her, the Awakening Society's motto. That's why the Association must have sent Shadow Cat.

Northern soil.

If the rough ground passes by and the cold wind starts blowing, it is a sign that we have arrived.

She takes a slow breath.

The cold air seemed to spread deep into the lungs. Suddenly, I remembered the memory I tried to forget.

- There are laws in the Dragon World!

It was a car.

She shakes her head. It was because of weakness. She didn't even have one gram of interest in the Khan. So, she sighed again.

Vladivostok, Russia.

Civilization blossomed in that area.

Just as South Korea's unmanned zone has collapsed almost entirely, the situation here is no different. A land where everything falls apart and smells a little bit wilder.

However, it was quite surprising that civilization was spreading.

‘Definitely around here......’

She looks around and finds a place where the smoke is puffed up far away.

Pot!

She runs there, her eyes wide open.

Hundreds of people dressed fairly appropriately were busy moving, and the kitchen utensils and facilities were available.

They were distributing food to people who seemed to be residents.

“Huh?"

A busy man approaches her and gives her a bowl.

“Oh?”

It's a trench bowl. The handle is a non-heated vessel with sugar in it smoking debris.

[Demon King's Restaurant]

The writing looked familiar to me. It's Korean.

These people said they wrote something called Russian. She was about to equip the translation artifacts she received as trade items from dragons.

“More over there! Don't spare the meat! Got it!”

Somehow, a voice I've heard many times hit my ear.

“Hahahaha!”

You hear the familiar laughter on the other side.

“...... ”

Her eyes narrow.

“Hahahaha! Behold! The mercy of this body! Good deed! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! ”

Echo climbs up onto the roof of the large packaged wagon and smiles beautifully.

“Hahahaha.......? ”

Echo smiles and finds Shadow Cat. Echo blinks for a moment and is furious.

“What the hell!”

“Ah…… are you? ”

“This, this, this body......”

Echo turns his head as he writhes.

“I just went out for a drink. ”

“...... You came out here to drink? ”

“Yes! Something's wrong! ”

She looks around. Feeding the villagers didn't seem like a day or two ago.

“You were upfront, right? ”

“Hehe!”

Echo looks at his cheeks and turns to the left and to the right, then approaches her and grabs her by the collar.

“If you talk to anyone, it's over. I'm going to reach Cheolho. You know?”

She chuckles.

“Either way, we're screwed. ”

“Screw you?”

She told stories like this with a frowned face.

Recently, Cheolho has been treating the graves, as well as the anecdotes with Khan a few weeks ago.

“Ah-”

Echo's eyes open wide as if he only knew.

“A love potion made by those twin idiots? ”

“Yes.”

“It's weak anyway. What does it matter? And Chulho. ”

Echo speaks, then folds his arms for a moment. Somehow I feel like speaking for Cheolho, I have a bit of pride.

But then I opened my mouth.

“That…… Cheolho could die. ”

“Yes?”

“That's what I mean. I have some work left to do with the Apostle on the top floor, but he thinks he might die...... there. ”

“...... ”

“Well, he's not going to see anyone until he fights him and wins. He said he wanted to meet her after he survived. ”

She blinks.

“Why didn't I know? ”

“How do you feel now? ”

“Well, that's shocking. ”

She was in great shock. I had no idea you were thinking that.

Echo mutters in a grim voice.

“Chulho doesn't hate you. ”

“...... ”

“Rather, I like it. This body, I know it. But I don't think we can do this until the fight is over. I'm determined.”

She bit her lip.

“W-well, is there anything I can do to help? ”

“I don't even know this body. ”

Echo shrugs. The bear thought, adding.

“I don't know if you know it, but I can wipe out the planet myself right now. Maybe a year ago. You know what I'm saying? ”

She was shocked.

Sometimes I forget, Echo was actually the former Demon King.

Total of six class masters.

A super-high power that is hard to see in dimensions. Maybe it's natural to rule one dimension.

“Cheolho is much stronger than this body. And the last enemy to fight forward, is stronger than that wretch. ”

“...... ”

Echo glares at you for some reason.

“Of course, this body won't kill him. ”

Creepy!

She felt a severe chill for some reason. It wasn't the cold wind. That's how echo's voice felt.

“No one can kill him without his body's permission. ”

Saaaa-

The wind blows.

The wind scatters Shadow Cat's hair. Echo's appearance through his hair, however, seems lonely.

“I liked this body. So if the world you've worked so hard to raise destroys even as much as the rest of your body, you'll be very angry. By the way, there are already two buildings in this body. You know what? Soon we'll have the whole city to ourselves. ”

Echo was spitting out anything he could think of. It was evidence of shrugging.

“Anyway, do you want some sugar? ”

“Oh, no. I'm an Elf.”

I don't eat meat.

Echo frowns.

“It's useless. ”

“...... ”

Echo's words were cruel. He was more compassionate and kind than he seemed, despite his fierce words. She laughs unconsciously.

.

The return from Vladivostok was around evening, two days later.

After a breath of familiar downtown air, she slowly makes her way to her meal.

“Hic!”

Khan sees Shadow Cat walking to the rice house and finds a place to flee.

You duck your head, giving up running away.

“Well, you know, it had nothing to do with will. ”

Shadow Cat glances back at the compartment and smiles.

“Those twin idiots, I locked them up. So......”

“Okay, I get it. ”

Khan smiles widely at her words.

“Really? Oh, thank God. ”

“Is Ms. Grant here? ”

“I have Chulho. ”

Khan nods. She walks into the diner. The Khan sighs of relief, as if he was lucky not to.

* * *

“Oh, welcome. ”

Cheolho welcomed her, as always. I feel like I'm trying to keep my distance from it.

She sits quietly in front of the table, staring at Cheolho.

Cheolho also frowned and looked at her.

“You.”

It was she who opened her mouth first.

“Is there any way I can help? ”

“...... ”

Chulho wiped the dishes silently and with a dry towel. Soon, Chulho opened his mouth.

“The Association must have an alarm manual. ”

“Yes.”

“I don't know what the fight is going to be like. Maybe he's coming into the city. So we need to find the best manual to evacuate the civilians. ”

Cheolho told the story through Rex and Cora Fox.

They were to be delivered through consultation with the association, but it seemed in order to tell her.

“Maybe-”

Chulho stared at her quietly, saying.

“The world may return to civilization before it was founded. Civilizations you've worked for will disappear, and everyone you love will die. ”

It was not the usual ironclad word. She clicks and swallows.

“But I will do my best to prevent that. With everything I've got, doing whatever it takes, it'll be the end of my fight. ”

Cheolho also knew.

Chulho was able to remove a single speck of dust from the five cities in a blink of an eye.

Not to mention the last enemy, Brahma.

If Cheolho is defeated, the world will end.

As soon as the end is realized, everything will be blank.

But...

Don't let them. Chulho had no intention of letting that happen for everyone he loved.

“My wish. ”

Chulho said quietly.

“Everyone, as always. It's a peaceful world. It's a peaceful world. And me, too. When I wake up in the morning, I spend the same day as yesterday. ”

“...... ”

“It's boring and repetitive. I wish I had a normal life. And at the end of the day, I want you to talk to me sometimes. Today, that's what happened. ”

Chulho's voice was as blasphemous as ever. She stared at that veil. My heart thumped.

“At that time, I want to talk to you. So that's a happy story. ”

Cheolho smiled.

She heard Chulho's story. So I sat quietly, and I picked up a cup of coffee from Cheolho.

It smelled good, but it was cheap coffee.

< Smells good and cheap. > End
