Main Character Hides His Strength

Kim Chi's house was a shabby multi-generational house commonly found in District 8. When Kim Sung-cheol saw a living room with a collapsing porch, a kitchen full of grime, and a curtain without a door, he felt as if he was shaping the concept of poverty.

Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself, looking at the unknown black lump of iron lying on the floor of the black kitchen.

‘That's more than I imagined. ’

Kim Sung-cheol surprisingly lives a high-class life, even though he looks like a jerk.

Even though I can't see it after eating only the best stuff, my underwear and socks are usually made of the finest silk and I buy them in bulk and put them in the soul storage.

Although the backroom he was staying in was an annoying place, it was nothing compared to Kimchi's house. At least Kim Sung-cheol's room is part of the mansion in Anglo-Saxon Boy. The quality of the basic finishes is different even in the bone room.

Anyway, as I entered the ugly house, I heard the coughing of a woman who felt popular.

Later, a young woman opened the curtain that blocked the front door and kitchen and revealed herself.

“Brother, are you here? ”

Quite a pretty face.

The moment I saw her face, I remembered a vague surprise in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

"That woman..."

What surprised me even more was the women.

“Y-you 're the one from the Summoning Plaza...”

Kim's wife was Bae Sung-hye.

The eunuch who despised Kim Sung-cheol in the Summon Square.

Kim Sung-cheol still remembers.

One pretty face to reign like a queen bee amongst the inner circle and ask for help from Kim Sung-cheol, who eventually despised isolation with selfish actions.

But it's strange.

As a eunuch, we all have powerful connections in this world. That means that eunuchs continue their miserable lives in the human sewers.

Kim Sung-cheol was able to guess the reason.

‘Then I saw this woman. I told you there was a connection to the Iron Knights. ’

The Iron Knights, who guarded the front lines, destroyed the six continents with Martin Bregas.

In some ways, it might be a miracle to live like this and live in the Human sewers.

Kim Sung-cheol seemed to know the identity of Kim Chi who was wrapped in a veil.

"A knight from the Iron Knights. It is likely that it is a small number of knights who have opposed Cho Chong-taek's decision since he has not become a demon. However, it won't be easy for a knight who has lost his honor to act as his real name elsewhere. ’

The Iron Knights have teamed up with the Devil.

Providing the cause was obviously Martin Bregas' vile ruse, but as always, people only see the results.

When Kim Sung-cheol was quiet, Bae Sung-hye left behind awkwardness and prepared a meal.

“Come on, let's go inside. It's a shithole, but it's still a place where people live. ”

Kim Sung-cheol and Kim went into the living room of two young couples. Better inside than the kitchen and the front door, but there were traces of poverty everywhere.

Sitting in the room and awkward, Bae Seoin soon gave me a drink.

A pile of grass with its identity bristles, a simple veil of silence, and a lump of wheat.

The food was filthy.

[This food scores.... 3 points!]

[Do you feed this as food?]

For a long time, Kim Sung-cheol agreed with the opinion of the evaluator of the cooking class.

Alcohol, on the other hand, was worth eating.

Kim Sung-cheol put down his chopsticks and tasted only liquor.

Kim opened his mouth to see Kim Sung-cheol like that.

“Isn't that a good drink? It's a big deal. ”

“Did you soak it yourself? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“There's a shop with Korean people. I lived there.”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded and thought to himself.

"Looks like someone from the Iron Knights came through here. ’

No one lives in the territory now ruled by the Iron Knights.

Most of the Knights were said to have died in the war with Martin Bregas, but the whereabouts of their families and territories are unknown.

Not all of them could be dead, and some would have gone somewhere, but in the end, a few people flowed into the human sewers.

‘I never imagined the Iron Knights would fall so foolishly even in the Human Empire. ’

People whisper.

If Cho Sung-taek, the Iron Knights' leader, hadn't fought the demons to solve the disaster alone, the Iron Knights would still rule the North.

Although Cho Sung-taek is not included in the thirteenth continent, it is a big mistake that he is not more than thirteen continents.

Cho Sung-taek refused himself.

Incorporating it into the order of the Human Empire.

But that number eventually became appetizers.

After a thorough isolation, the Knights have fallen and those who are left behind continue their needy lives.

The miserable words of the force who independently tried to resist the disaster only strengthened the order represented by the World Congress and the Thirteen Continents.

Just pouring out a drink without saying anything, Bae Seoin Hye came into the room.

While walking the curtain, she glanced at Kim Sung-cheol, and sat down next to Kim Chi, whispering something in his ear.

Kim looked back at Bae Sung-hye with a big smile.

“You want to eat it again? Fine. I'll get it. ”

Kim Chi, who had already drunk a lot, stood up with a single smile.

He told Sung-cheol Kim to wait for a while and left the room. I may not have been conscious, but it was a quick gesture like a rain check.

There were only two left in the sleepy room, Bae Sung-hye and Kim Sung-cheol.

“I'm a little embarrassed, to be honest... ”

Bae Sung-hye opened his mouth first. Her gaze was directed elsewhere. I felt uncomfortable.

“It doesn't matter if you say it comfortably. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone.

Bae Sung-hye glanced at Kim Sung-cheol with his eyes rolled.

“At the Summon Plaza, you thought you'd be pretty good at it, but here you are, too. You said you were a tamtamtam farmer.”

She grins and picks up the jerky from the liquor table, puts it in her mouth and murmurs.

“Tamtam... Park Aram... Alamo...”

She now recalls the dreadful names that had become memories in a sympathetic tone.

“I thought it would open a flower path. When I entered the golden city, I thought I would be able to settle down and live a new life. ”

“How did you get into this place? ”

Kim Sung-cheol pretended not to know, but asked.

After a shallow sigh, Bae Sung-hye poured rice cakes on Kimchi's bowl and took a deep breath.

“The Knights are destroyed. Because of Bregas or something. Starting with the Master, knights signed with the Devil, and his trusted eldest father died in a chaos. ”

“At least we're out of the worst. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked outside and said,

He was thinking about Kim Chi.

Bae Sung-hye sighed as if he had calculated Kim Sung-cheol's will.

“He's a good man. ”

In a depressed voice, a complex heart could not contain a single word.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't say anything.

The awkward silence followed heavily.

Baek Seoin also switched the topic to see if he felt the heavy atmosphere.

“Do you remember Kim Woo-jeong? ”

“Kim Woo-jeong? Who was it? ”

“The man who fought with us at Pac-Man's Rule. ”

“Ah.”

“He's become quite famous in his institutions. He's an amazing puppet player. It must have worked pretty well with a few human lines, not a puppeteer. ”

“I see.”

“It's mostly around Sections 6 and 7, so take a look around when you get a chance. ”

“When the opportunity arises. ”

I had the same experience, but my memory is different.

Everything I experienced in Bae Sung-hye's Summon Square is clearly engraved in memory, whereas Kim Sung-cheol is just a blurry mass stuck in oblivion and boundaries.

So I have to react to it.

‘Kimchi. You're early. ’

When Sung-cheol Kim was feeling bored, Bae Sung-hye burst a short elasticity as if he was thinking of something and opened his mouth.

“Oh, right. I saw her. ”

“Who? ”

“I don't know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't know how I asked anyone with that plain face, but I've seen him get off a spectacular airstrip with a young general. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's face was stiff.

I asked as if I was surprised that Bae Seoin Hye saw it.

“Weren't you two close? ”

In Bae Sung-hye's question, Kim Sung-cheol took a drink and said in a bold tone.

“... my only friends are death and solitude. ”

Suddenly, Bertelgia in his pocket suddenly shakes violently.

Kim Sung-cheol was surprised by the sudden vibration of Bertelgia, but he seemed to know why Bertelgia did that.

‘This guy is really. ’

It's what Kim Sung-cheol thinks.

It was because Bertelkia felt the weight of chicken on her body after hearing Kim Sung-cheol's words.

I remembered Kim Sung-cheol's face slightly.

Bae Sung-hye glanced at Kim Sung-cheol like that and smiled.

“You haven't changed a bit. ”

“People don't change that easily. ”

Kim Sung-cheol got up from his seat.

“Are you leaving already? He's not here yet. ”

Baek Seoin stood up with me, slightly embarrassed.

Kim Sung-cheol stretched out his hand and said in a bold voice.

“It's not something a customer would do, but it must have been a long time since I met him. I'm trying to be a little skillful. ”

The truth is, I didn't want to be inside.

Kim Sung-cheol revealed the corner of his coat saying so.

But the corner of the coat won't open.

Vertelgia had just popped out of her pocket and held onto the bookshelf, preventing the corners of her coat from flying.

"Why is this guy so grumpy? ’

After missing the timing, Kim Sung-cheol went through the curtain and into a shabby kitchen.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a low voice in the kitchen.

“Why are you doing this? Bertelkia.”

“Just.”

Vertelgia stumbles into her pocket.

"Is this guy from puberty? ’

Kim Sung-cheol thought and pulled the sack out of the soul warehouse.

It was filled with quality spices stolen from the Emperor's Botanical Garden.

Kim Sung-cheol picked a few of them and looked at the ingredients in the kitchen.

A little flour, a little rice, dried bread and dried fish. The fresh vegetables were all a basket of chunks of dirt.

The ingredients are desperate, but it's a good thing you have everything you need.

Kim Sung-cheol put rice and Fox bottom powder in the water and went out of the house.

Kim Chi was coming to the front of the house buying a bunch of things. From what I could see in my hands, I thought I heard it in a confectionery.

“Hey, rancher boy! Where are you going?”

Kim asked with his eyes wide open.

“Didn't I tell you before? I'm a much better cook than Largo. I'm just trying to be good. ”

“Really? But having a guest cook...”

“I don't care if you leave it to me. What's with the snack? ”

“Oh, my wife's been such a mess lately. I don't want to eat the whole meal. That's why I bought this. There's nothing else I can do for you right now. ”

Kim Chi said that and his face looked dark somewhere.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone, looking at such kimchi.

“You'd better not eat that until my cooking is complete. You're gonna regret this. ”

A faint fragrance of luxury spread through the awkward house. It smells so good that the passers-by stand in front of the house snorting.

Kim Sung-cheol brought a hot iron tray into the room while the young couple watched.

Before opening the tray, Bae Sung-hye and Kim were overwhelmed by the exotic and alluring scent that flowed through the gap, waiting for the moment to kill their breath and open the lid.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol opened the lid with an indiscreet hand. The golden rice balls were spread out like the plains of harvest, under cooked meat that encompassed the carnivorous fork, such as chicken, pig, and shrimp.

“Is this paella? ”

Bae Sung-hye recognized the identity of the dish at a glance.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded quietly.

Bae Sung-hye lifted the spoon with curious eyes and took Kim Sung-cheol's dish to his mouth.

The sound of Kim Chi swallowing his saliva resounded in a narrow room.

“Delicious!”

Bae Sung-hye's eyes sparkled.

Kim Sung-cheol only watched her reaction with a expressionless face.

“Did you put saffron in this? ”

Bae Sung-hye, who tasted it again, asked me a question.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

“Saffron's next of kin. ”

“Where did you get such precious crops? ”

“I'll leave that to your imagination. ”

No matter how square it may be, the culprit who robbed the Emperor's Botanical Garden can never say that he is the culprit.

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head toward Kim Chi who was swallowing only a spoon and opened his mouth suddenly.

“Why aren't you eating? ”

“I'm going to eat it after my wife finishes it. ”

“If it's not enough, I'll make it for you again, so eat it instead. ”

Kim Sung-cheol put his food in his bowl and tasted it.

[This dish scores... 81!]

[Excellent!]

A faint smile came to mind at Kim Sung-cheol's mouth.

After dinner, Kim Sung-cheol and Kim were watching the sunset outside the house.

Kim said, biting the beginning of the year.

“I tried to be treated, but I was treated again. ”

“It doesn't matter. ”

“An unknown friend. Actually, I called you to say goodbye. ”

Kim said lonelily, staring at the sunset.

“Farewell?”

*

In the dream of a bundle through a fog journey.

The fourth carbundle, called the Kakabang, has spread a large pile of fur in front of Kim Sung-cheol's group and asked them to open it in front of their eyes.

Kim Sung-cheol knows how to sew, but I didn't know how to knit.

Of course, I used familiar methods.

“Bertelgia. Time to pay for your meal. ”

This carbunkle was naturally commissioned by Bertelkia.

Fortunately, unlike Sung-cheol Kim, Bertelkia initially wandered around for a while, but soon she got used to knitting and sat comfortably on the couch and began knitting skillfully in front of the carbunkle.

Kim Sung-cheol sat on a rocking chair, gazing at the exotic interior landscape a little bit.

After taking a break, I naturally remembered the story I heard from Kim Chi earlier.

A sigh came out of Sung-cheol Kim's mouth.

Kim Chi and Bae Sung-hye were in the worst environment.

If we do this, they will have a miserable end waiting for them.

He was a person unrelated to Kim Sung-cheol, but I couldn't help but feel a bitter corners of my heart.

She knits and opens her mouth, teasing her hands diligently.

“Can I just sit here and watch? I don't know him very well, but he seems to have been in love for a while. ”

Bertelkia drops her needle and bites suddenly.

Then Carbunkle, who was watching the knitting, tucked his front foot into Bertelgia's shoes.

Don't rest.

Bertelkia bites her lower lip slightly, stares at the bunkle, knitting again, and glances at Kim Sung-cheol.

As always, he looked expressionless, but he seemed to be quite troubled.

Bertelkia looks at it and smiles.

“Why don't you pay for your meal, too? ”

“Food.”

Kim Sung-cheol stroked the tip of his chin as if he was enjoying the words he always used.
