Have a Meal Before You Go

< The King's Donkey Ear >

Khan's been doing something stupid since morning.

He's been eating chips since morning and spilling crumbs on the floor.

It could not have been better for Echo because he had already won one year per cleaning.

“Lizard! ”

“Yes? Why? ”

Look at that cheeky face!

Echo's insides boil, and he takes a deep breath to pour out his insults.

“You moron-”

Cheolho, who was watching the newspaper on that side, slipped the newspaper. Echo shook his chest and hurriedly picked up the English dictionary on the table.

“Misery…… means…… pain, poverty……"

I saw Chulho lift up the newspaper again.

When the Khan sees himself overwhelmed, Echo trembles.

“Misery...... Misery Dragon......”

Echo said so, and lost his temper.

Somehow I have no appetite today.

I haven't said a word in days, and it feels like I'm dying every day.

Echo decided.

Go to the secret room, where no one is accessing! To spill it all.

.

Khan was recently fired from his job.

Whenever I had a chance, there was a boss who was tickling and attacking people, because he crushed one that I couldn't hold on to. The incident took place on the Seodaemun Road, which was a problem when Echo saw his boss tickle when he was transporting the courier.

Echo sneaks up, hears his boss's tickle and pushes the box.

What else did the boss say when he saw Echo, and Khan was angry and punched in the face.

Anyway.

It's true that you hit the right one, but violence is bad. So I wrote a rebound statement, and anyway, my diary was not good.

So.

I returned to Pata's assistant.

Pata was working on a new weapon for Iron Tiger.

In the Seven Thousand World, there were various objects, and it was the white stone that attracted the twin dragons acting as assistants this time.

Whitestone.

What scares me about this stone is that when you draw a picture or shape, it is shaped and moved.

Of course, there was a problem that if you just drew a picture, you couldn't harm the others.

In the past, tangerines have used these stones to draw and shape various monsters.

“Come on, poop can. ”

According to Willie, Khan turns his head.

Willie began to paint on the walls of the hardware store. He was a simple human being, once called Zolamen.

A two-dimensional drawing, made of white lines, began to move alive.

As the large human form formed, Willie put his magic into it.

Jiaying-!

You hear him treading on the ground, with magic in the white borders.

“It's materialized, right? ”

“Yes. Now I can touch it, I can hit it. ”

Will Lee grins.

“We're going to improve this. I think I can weaponize it. Is it just me?"

“So am I. ”

The twins smash into each other's fists.

“...... ”

Idiots.

Khan thought so.

No matter how stupid you are, it is calculated that you are better than those brothers.

Anyway.

Khan walks to Pata.

“Sir, can I get you anything? ”

“Ah, Khan. I heard you've been busy lately. How's work? ”

“I got fired. I got my boss. ”

“Really? I'm fine. You once beat up an emperor of an empire. ”

That wasn't very comforting.

“First of all, listen to this. ”

Pata reaches out to Khan with a metal plate.

“What is this? ”

“A new alloy to use. If I'm going to make a new Ogre, I'm going to need a stronger, lighter material. It's hard to make stronger materials every time. ”

Pata nods - sighs.

As the Khan raises it, Pata picks up her sword and aims for the iron plate.

Puck!

The iron plate is broken.

“I can't. If the strength is too strong, it doesn't absorb the shock and breaks. It's a challenge.”

Pata grumbles and turns to shake hands with the dwarves.

“New material 1052, failure. Let's change the combination ratio. ”

“Ahh!”

“Ahh!”

You hear the despair of the dwarves.

Back then.

Knock-knock!

You hear a knock at the hardware store door.

A slight crack opens the door and you see a familiar face.

“Ryu?”

Ryu stood at the door and smiled brightly.

And he slowly walks in, looking around inside the hardware store.

“Hello, it's been a long time. ”

“Oh...... I heard you went to Ketikom? ”

“I stopped by the Transit Association and headed this way. ”

“Really?"

The car opened its eyes wide.

Ryu smiled and opened his mouth.

“Yes. I'm keeping my promise to Echo. All right, everybody in! ”

Behind Ryu, the people of Keticum began to come in one or two.

They are furious with the dwarves and busy exploring the interior of the hardware store.

Ryu turned to Pata.

“Hello, Pata. ”

“Oh, hello. How'd it go with you? ”

“Thanks to you.”

He grins. Then he turned around and pointed to the 20 people from Ketikom.

“These are some of the best technicians in Katicum, called the Dream Team of Riding Gorems. ”

“......! ”

Pata blinks.

“I'd like to lend you their power. ”

Ketikom!

Keticum was practically a mounted Gorem, and on Earth, a machine called the "Ogre" was used in the realm of war.

The Pattana Dwarves, of course, have been producing high-performance gases with abundant resources, but the technical side is definitely worse than them.

However, it is natural that if the top engineers of Keticum join forces, they will gain more than twice their technical strength.

Pata stares at Ryu.

But.

It wouldn't have been an easy decision.

Riding Gorem's top engineers, they're more of a country. It is the cultural treasures that must be protected as national secrets. Lending it to another dimension was, in some ways, very dangerous.

“You sure you're okay with this?”

Following Pata's question, Ryu nods.

“It's a promise.”

Ryu hesitated for a moment and also put the necklace he was wearing down on Pata's desk.

“This, too, is a promise. ”

“...... This is. ”

Ryu didn't say anything. Just stare straight into Pata's eyes.

Pata nods, swallowing her saliva.

“This…… unfortunately, I can't give it to you. ”

“Of course.”

“But I can lend it to you. ”

“Thank you.”

Ryu bowed politely.

As Ryu bows, the technicians of Keticum kneel at the same time.

“I hope this little help helps. ”

Pata holds the necklace in her hand.

Zero code.

At last, the zero-code of Keticum is in the hands of a boarding Gorem.

Pata nods with a stiff face.

“That's a big help. ”

He straightened his waist and asked.

“By the way, wasn't Echo there? ”

“You're stuck in a fish room somewhere. ”

Ryu shakes his head at the words of the Khan.

“He wasn't even at the fish shop. ”

“Really?"

Where the hell did he go?

“Anyway, I plan to stay on Earth for the next few days. In the meantime, Earth has changed again. The pace of development is amazing. ”

It was a voice of admiration and concern.

The highly developed world reminded me of Ketikom's past. Hundreds of years ago, Keticum was also experiencing the same period of development as Earth.

.

The Khan steps out of the way.

- I need an echo tree. And I'm going to ask you to get me some special ingredients that only grow in Espan.

That was Pata's request.

The Khan gladly leaves the road, since it was not too difficult.

Khan is busy trying to get the materials Pata asked for.

Absent even in the subspace of Iron Tiger is a material that is not more precious than I thought. Dog poop is not used for medicine, and sometimes you need useless materials.

The Khan turned into a dragon and quickly crossed the continent.

Rip open the nettles of the Dark Forest.

Endless valleys, dozens of meters of moonlight, are filled with roots.

When I packed up all the weird plants and stones that I had never even heard of, there was only one left.

The echo tree.

The echo tree colonizes the vast forest at the end of the continent, further east from the northeast of the Espan continent.

Why an echo tree?

It's probably because it repeats itself over and over again.

They were called trees, but they were about a meter tall and as thin as reed. It's like a huge grass from afar.

They do not emit echoes unless the water touches the roots. However, he continues to shout the last message from the moment the water touches him.

Anyway.

So, it was a really noisy place. Birds, as well as living creatures, are only echo trees. Even the dragons were too noisy to escape, so I did everything I could.

The Khan arrives in Mead Forest and returns from the shape of a dragon to a human.

- Roughly... no. The more, the better.

The more the better.

The Khan draws his sword and starts clearing Mead Forest.

Shya-Shya-Shya-

The sound of the wind in the Meadow Forest is hundreds of thousands of times louder. It's because they remember the sound of the wind, and they keep saying it.

On the other hand.

Kwa-kaaang! Kwam!

Thunder thunderstruck his eardrum.

- Bo-Chungy-etc.--

I heard the voice of someone.

Is that a voice?

The column tilts its head. It sounds so crowded, I can't even tell. Khan took out the piece of equipment he had prepared called Silent Knight and put it on.

An eardrum that blocks the source of sound. It's amazing how useful it can be.

Zek-zek-zek-

The Khan quickly cuts down the tree. Suddenly, the Khan was able to cut down about half the trees in the echo forest.

No matter how thin the tree is, I cut it down and piled it up like a pile. Khan picks up a few large bags he brought in advance.

There is also a piece of jewelry called a Prash pocket.

It was an artifact that was treated as a treasure that could hold about twenty times the size of a bag and was stored in a state of 100% freshness.

This bag was similar, but of a higher level item.

It's called a periodic bag.

It was similar to subspace, but compared to subspace, it could only use a narrow space without chin. Sub-space is a never-ending world, but the capacity of the periodic bag was clearly finite.

Most of those types of jewelry were blue dragon jewelry, which was borrowed from Waterland as well.

The columns shoved all the wood into the periodic bag and rushed through the steps.

.

“Good work.”

Pata taps the shoulder of the Khan. The ingredients obtained by the compartment were sufficient, and I particularly liked the capacity of the echo tree.

“But what are you going to use the echo tree for? ”

When asked by the Khan, Pata shrugs.

“Your brothers wanted to use it to make accessories. Turns out, I'm good at making weird, useless things. ”

Khan looks at the raging twins as he pulls the echo trees out of the Gigantic Bag.

“Come on! Quiet, everyone! ”

Willie said.

The twins enchant the ice basin and fill it with water.

Then, 50 echo trees were grabbed and sliced into the water.

Saaaaaa-

At the same time, the leaves of the withered bastards lift their eyes and the wind howls.

The twins breathed a little.

Shaya-

The echo trees accept the sound of breath at the same time. Within a few moments, you are silent with a very small breath.

“Good. Let's keep him quiet for now. ”

Willie and Harley started working.

Boom! Boom!

I heard thunder.

Shoot him!

And the sound of rain.

It was about time to do one or two tasks.

“Let's do it in bulk this time. It's piled up like a mountain.”

At Willie's words, Harley nods to see if she thinks it makes sense.

With magical power, they caught 500 echo trees in a handful and immersed the roots in water.

At that moment.

- You stupid lizard!

The voice began to resound.

“...... ”

The twins, Khan, and Pata became mute with honey.

- Idiot! Idiot!

It was a familiar voice.

- Stupid Chul-ho! Idiot! I hate this body! Don't you dare!

- Idiot!

* * *

- Idiot! Idiot......

Echo stopped by the restaurant for some Omurice. Cough, cough, cough. As I look up, I see Chulho.

When Tangerine was eating next to her, she laughed and imitated her words.

"Bamboo! Pussy gun! ”

“...... ”

Chulho stared at Echo.

Echo's pupils flutter.

“Cheolho, listen to your body. Sa, Sa, Actually...... Yi, Yi, This body went to Mead Forest. Ha, but why is it there......”

- Stupid Chul-ho!...... Just hang on!

“...... Hiic! ”

Echo starts hiccupping.

At a glance, Chulho points his finger. Every time I hear an insult, one by one.

Echo is frustrated.

The End
