King of Shadows

He was embarrassed. It was good to arrive in Sweden. No, being invited to Sherry's castle wasn't bad either. The problem was Sherry changed her attitude as soon as she saw him. Sherry, sitting face to face with Sihyun, looked at him with a gracious smile.

"She" was a person who could never appear in the world of dreams. Where the great old being was erased, she was merely a foreign impurity.

"Shu...?"

Her appearance was Sherry, but she exuded irresistible charm. It was not the only reason I expected it to be a maternal home. The energy surrounding Sherry was not something that the imagination living in the dream could produce.

"Why are you here?"

Xihyun was wary of Shu. When Igolognac arrived, Shu chose to be a bystander. Shoe sees him struggling with pain, but he doesn't make a move. To him, Shoe was a woman he could neither like nor dislike.

It must have been a deep relationship with Shu, but it was only a twisted result of her deep ownership and intense lust. It was not strange when it was disconnected.

"You're here because you heard you were here, right?"

"Were you here from the beginning?"

"So, you're in danger and you can't ignore it?"

Although it wasn't just the bystander until now, she didn't want to hear about it. Only each other's faces turned red.

"Why hasn't Hifnos found out yet? This must be his turf."

"Here's a link to avoid suspicion of Hippos, my dear."

Shoe points at himself with open arms. Sihyun was able to figure out at once what the connection she had mentioned. Sherry Niguras. No wonder Hifnos didn't notice her when she was used as a vessel.

Then Shi Hyun could see how Sherry had offered such a costly proposition.

"I wondered why Sherry spread it like that... and it was you. It's disgusting."

"Hehe, your ass is heavier than you think, so the price has increased, but it's not surprising, is it? It's not a burden because it's a dream anyway."

"Anyway, stop saying you're you. We're both done anyway."

"Honey, are you still sick? You didn't help me when I was in trouble? Hehe, you have such a young face."

I didn't have anything to say when I said that. It was because there was no law that said Sugar should blindly help Sihyun. It was good to help, and it didn't matter if I didn't. When he realized that, he sighed. Humanity could not have worked for Shu in the beginning.

Shoe approached him and sat on his thigh. Then I touched his face.

"You know that's unusual for us. I'm more focused on pleasure than I am on immortality."

"So it's better to watch me suffer than to help me?"

"Cute. I've missed you so much..."

He closed his eyes to the nonsense. But it was also not an unexpected answer. Family and ethnicity, love and hatred. Reason and emotion. Concepts and phenomena. The cosmic personalities set the world in their own way.

There were evil and sinister gods, some of which were cleaner and more powerful than the saints. But they could not simply go to good and evil.

There were evil and evil gods who helped man, and there were clean and more powerful gods who slaughtered man. They were just doing what they believed was right. For them, the standards set by man were meaningless.

Shoe did the same thing. Watching her was also an expression of affection.

"You have not yet renounced your human habits. That's his charm..."

"You won't be able to understand it over time. No, I don't want to understand."

"But if you listen to my efforts, you'll understand."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm talking about horseshoes. You don't think I've found a place to avoid the eyes of the Hippos, do you? I'd be really disappointed in you if I thought that."

The puffed shoe lists her efforts on a daily basis. However, he was only troubled.

"Is that all you have to say?"

"Hehe, this can't all be happening. Let me get this straight. I'd like to offer you a deal."

"A deal... you want to tell me about the reference point?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have seduced you like this. Well, aren't you curious?"

With Shu's ability, he should be able to find the reference point without difficulty. Maybe he already knew. However, he hesitated.

I didn't really know if Shu's favor was normal. However, I didn't think about it. I wasn't in a position to cover things up.

"I accept the deal. But even if it's not your dream, can you find a reference point?"

"It honestly doesn't matter. It wasn't your dream I was watching, it was hipnos. I don't know about you, but hipnos can be seen in a lot of ways."

I licked my lips with my sneaky smiling tongue.

"Rin and Swimming, one of the two children is the reference point set by Hippos."

"How can you be so sure?"

"That's the essence of hipnos. He likes to watch the target break in the closest place. It's an old habit of hipnos. Believe it or not, I happen to know his hobbies. Hifnos would never dream that his weaknesses were exposed."

"You mean we have to see Lynn and the swimmer again."

"It's a wise choice not to bring those two here. I would've always pretended to be Sherry if I'd brought her in."

"... that I wouldn't have told you this if I hadn't found it?"

"Hehe, how about that?"

I smiled and avoided the answer when I applied, but that was enough. If Sihyun hadn't summoned Haster, Shu wouldn't have revealed his identity forever.

"Are you the one who manipulated the situation so that you could summon Harster? No, there's nothing to ask."

Even in a dream, one of the great old beings, Abyssal Residents, could not suddenly appear. When he realized that everything was a one-sided comedy, he laughed in vain.

"I told you, you're cute when you suffer..."

"An unbreakable woman."

His words were incredibly sharp. Shoe stared at him dazzled and suddenly lifted his butt. And I asked gently.

"If you don't like it that much, why don't you hit him first? It's what you do to other kids."

Shoe stares at her with his eyes full of expectations, but he reacts calmly.

"Go to another man and beg, because there's no work."

Xihyun couldn't understand Shu. I could never guess whether I wanted to be bullied or loved.

"Ah…"

As she pushed him out, Shu burst his elasticity as if he was sorry. When he cleared the situation, he nodded his head. Now that we've made the deal, it's his turn to pay the price.

"Name your price."

"I don't need it. I came to see you. Is that what they call this? I've never done this before, but I think it's working. What do you think of us? Spit it out."

"If you don't want to be paid, I'll leave now."

"Hehe, you're hurling hard. But that's okay, 'cause it'll be fun to unwind."

Even the other person's emotions were a problem of amusing attitudes, but he did not mention it. Shoe wouldn't understand anyway.

Xi Hyun was exhausted. Shoe was like that from the beginning. She had an unchanging nature. From the moment I was born with him, Orlot existed, and she thought differently.

"Baby, it's time to make a choice. Betray them to see them."

The shoe that approached Sihyun's ear and whispered, as always, smiled softly.

Maybe it was because it was dark under the lamp. Or maybe it's because they've ruled out emotions. As soon as I heard that Lin and one of the swimmers were the reference point, a plausible reason came out like a fountain.

Swimming with Lynn, who became an ordinary human being, called herself her brother. Who should I choose? He seemed like his head was going to explode. But the worry didn't last long. It's because a defining clue passed before my eyes. He cleared his mind and summoned her.

Knock, knock. At the sound of the knock, he turned his head.

"Come in."

At the same time, a woman came into the room.

"Brother, what did you want to see me about?"

The woman who arrived after being summoned by Sihyun, the swim tilted her head. There was no reason to call early in the morning. There was no special schedule. To put it bluntly, today was a holiday.

Sihyun glanced at the swimming. Her appearance was not so different from his memory. I couldn't tell the difference just by looking at it. However, he had already concluded provisionally. Shi Hyun, who concealed his heart, brought up everyday stories without hesitation.

"It's no big deal. I just wanted to see if it was hard for you to work as an assistant."

"No way. You could call it a tenure. Above all, I can see my brother up close, but he's having a hard time. And Lynn is an absolute privilege."

"I'm still uncomfortable."

"You don't have to say that. You worry a lot, too."

The swimmer smiled brightly and stroked his hand, but Sihyun was not happy purely. It's because her identity has already been revealed. Sihyun grabbed hold of the swimming hand.

"Oh, Dad?"

Suddenly, the swim takes a step back. Her eyes widen. What should not have happened has happened. Sihyun smiled bitterly at the response of the swimming. Confidence became truth.

"I haven't seen you around lately." Strange. "It's early, but it's also a holiday. Why don't you come to the bedroom with me?"

Glug, the swim takes off your hand and smiles awkwardly.

"I wish I could, but I don't think I can today. Why don't you ask Lynn like last time?"

"Why not?"

"What a relief you must be to hear it with my mouth. Today is a special day."

Swimming intentionally blurred the words. However, she couldn't read the sadness on her face.

At first, the swimming was not 'jealous'. I kept my distance from start to finish. More than friends and less than lovers. That's the distance she was approaching.

I was happy to see her with Lynn. That was the identity of the feeling of hypocrisy that he perceived when he entered his dream. Swimming was artificial, one by one.

"You're getting nauseous beyond disgust."

"Go, what are you talking about? Is that why you're mad?"

"No, you just look disgusting."

"Brother, it's not funny at all."

"It's not you that's no fun, it's me."
