“ ……. ”

While Sung-cheol Kim was closing his mouth, Aefret carefully examined his face and said.

“Anyway, that's all I know. We're done here. You're acting so well, I'm pretty tired! ”

“Why do you have this scroll? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked me one last time.

Then Airfurt answered without a hitch.

“I used to guard Gulf when he was in prison. He was young and kind and kind to the old man. Actually, I was just wondering if you dropped a piece of Congo. ”

It seemed like this was the end of the question.

Another customer is staring at this place with his arms crossed at the entrance of the magic shop.

“Everything all right? Hassan?”

Roxanne, the Lady of Catacombs.

She gazes at the airfurt and bites her head.

It seemed like he had come because he was worried that something was going on as the deal grew.

Aefret smiles brightly with three gold coins.

Roxanne reminds me of this.

“You.”

Roxanne called up Sung-cheol Kim passing by.

“I've felt it since I was a labourer, but I guess I'm not ordinary. ”

“If that's what it looks like to you. ”

Kim Sung-cheol replied indifferently.

Roxanne glances at him and asks.

“The world's enemy, Kim Sung-cheol, right? ”

Surprise.

However, Kim Sung-cheol did not make any changes in his heart.

He thought for a moment.

It will be floating once.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at her clearly thinking that way.

“I'll let you imagine. ”

Roxanne stared straight through Kim Sung-cheol with her red eyes.

The snow fight didn't last long.

Airfurt shudders as he touches the Doubloons.

“Madam, he's an actor. ”

Roxanne smiles bloody and sucks out the pipe, turning her gaze first and finishing off the bland snowfight.

Then Airfurt said again.

“Don't keep it in your heart, it's a joke. As for our Madame, if an unusual black-haired Summoner shows up, you should stab and look. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't feel much emotion for Roxanne's actions. His attention was only drawn elsewhere.

He shakes the scroll with the letter of God and asks Aefret.

“Can you get something like this? ”

“If it's so thick, let's try it. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and left.

Roxanne stands in his way.

It seemed like there was something left to say.

“I've liked this friend for a long time. Come and play even if you don't have any stock. ”

“Me? Why? ”

“I like a friend who seems to have a story. Well, it's not a bad thing to live in District 8 and make friends with our Roxanne council. We are surprisingly versatile. ”

I think I like Kim Sung-cheol.

Nothing bad can happen.

Friendship with a gang that controls District 8.

Information will be helpful in many ways as well.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and walked forward.

“I'll see you soon. ”

*

Far north, the Demon King is dead.

In the far north and east, a settler appeared and trampled halfway across the continent.

In the south, a city on a river was devastated, and enemies of the world began a full-scale activity.

It was a year when so much happened.

The chaos that brought the chronicles to life is only days away.

Normally, it was a time when everyone had to brag about preparing for the biggest festive winter festival coming soon, but the end of the year was worse than ever.

Outside the city, I found myself surrounded by refugees, and a pandemic of heretics and vigilantes erupted in the city.

Rumors of terrorizing downtown Lagrein also helped.

It is a rumor about a murderer called a warthog.

The murderer, who was neither of age nor gender, nor of all things unknown, had committed brutal murders circling the regions of the empire at night, and his throat was severed from his body by anyone who was killed.

The murderer was focused on ordinary people living between the four and six districts, but anonymous sources say that there was a murder alleged to have been a beheading in the first district of Lagranje where the slowest people live.

Nevertheless, despite the rumors, the preparations for the Younger's Eve, which concludes the year, were underway diligently.

Recently fallen into disappointment as a series of disappointments, Lagranje's delegates wanted to celebrate this Younger's Night Festival more than ever in order to clear up the chaotic mood.

At the Emperor's behest, an arcade gathering from every continent held an exciting performance in each district, and large quantities of necessities accumulated in the Imperial-owned warehouse were scattered over the citizens of Lagranje.

The leaders of each district planned their own event in their own district, and in the palace of the emperor, the air palace, they declared that they would show the people of the empire the unprecedented sights.

On the streets of Lagranze, which had been cooled for a while, the excitement of Holidays began to revive. But as always, there are exceptions everywhere.

“A mother gives anything to my child who wants to be a flower. ”

Largo spent the whole day singing the source's song in a voice he didn't want to hear.

Kim Sung-cheol thought it was better to listen to Horun-cloose than listen to her song.

‘You're dead.’

We haven't made any progress in our plans to become friends with Largo.

I've tried a few times, but Largo doesn't seem to have the heart to teach his information to Kim Sung-cheol.

Rather, I exposed the crude ugliness of trying to use Kim Sung-cheol somehow as an excuse.

“Have you trimmed all the onions? ”

She came into the kitchen murmuring as she hung her coat on the wall and stared at Kim Sung-cheol.

A pile of onions that she ordered is already neatly polished in Kim Sung-cheol's hands.

Largo picks up an onion in the basket and looks carefully and says a word.

“Clean for a man. But the ending is inevitable. I need to learn more. ”

“ ……. ”

It's a language cluster.

Not only is the cook an ordinary housewife, but she can teach a class cook Kim Sung-cheol a lesson.

Largo whistled as Kim Sung-cheol placed the trimmed onions on the cutting board and sliced them into crude knives.

“Mother gives everything to her beloved child. Blood and flesh and bones and souls. Like a torch of life lifted from the hands of people. ”

Largo, who was murmuring about the song, suddenly looked at Sung-cheol Kim and suddenly said.

“I'm sorry, butcher. Can you squeeze the onions for me? I think the baby's kicking me in the stomach. I don't know if I'm going to be a general or not. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol silently went to Toma instead and began chopping onions.

Largo sat on a chair in the kitchen and stared at Sung-cheol Kim with narrow eyes.

“Why do you want to meet the Apocalypse? ”

“How many times have I not told you? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's voice contained a gentle annoyance.

I don't know how many times.

Largo always postponed his work to Kim Sung-cheol and asked the same question like a box or a box several times.

Kim Sung-cheol always said that he wanted to join the Apocalypse, but nothing changed.

After all, the question is a carrot from Largo's narrow head to make Kim Sung-cheol eat even more.

“Oh, yeah? ”

Largo grins as he trims his nails.

Kim Sung-cheol was confident that she would never reveal information about the Apocalypse for a while.

‘As expected, she will not be spoken to. ’

One week. Kim Sung-cheol decided to wait just one more week.

“Ugh! That woman. I don't want to hear that song! ”

The patient first was Bertelgia.

Largo's foolish malice must have been something that scratched the sentiment of the watcher by his side rather than the one directly exposed to the malice.

Kim Sung-cheol nevertheless did not shorten the grace period of a week.

If there are some changes, how many questions are there?

The next day, Kim Sung-cheol sat next to Largo, refining the ingredients with Largo's spell, and asked him a question.

“Do you really believe Anglo-Saxon Boy will look after you when you have a child? ”

“Of course not! The stronger the man, the more obsessed with his genes. If you had a kid that looked exactly like him, that little bitch? I would have thrown him out of here by now. ”

“I don't think so. ”

“There's no way a little man like you who works underneath someone else knows what he's thinking. Just peel the onion properly. If you want to meet the Apocalypse. ”

Largo smirks as he speaks with a warning.

Kim Sung-cheol no longer opened his mouth.

Instead, he counted the days left for Largo.

‘Six days left. ’

Another day passed.

Largo did not come to the kitchen.

After a long time in the kitchen, she can't even see her nose.

At noon, Kim Sung-cheol found out why.

Largo comes into the kitchen with his eyes puffed with bruises all over his face.

“What are you looking at? Just do your job. Don't roll your eyes at me. ”

Largo sits in a chair and cries horribly for a long time.

Kim Sung-cheol was able to hear what had happened to Largo from a faced member of the organization.

While Largo was walking in the hallway, he met his boss' new concubine and fought a big fight.

I don't think I met him in the mansion for seven days because he originally had a different line.

After a brief argument, there was a country play where two women grabbed her head and fought, and the Anglo-Saxon boy who saw it literally kicked Largo's ass.

Even though she was a hateful and disgusting dirty woman, Kim Sung-cheol felt sorry for her.

So he verbally stopped Largo from getting drugs out with trembling hands.

“Isn't that bad for the kid? ”

“ ……. ”

Largo puts the drugs back in his pocket and bites his teeth.

For a while, there was a strange feeling in the kitchen.

After a long time, Largo opens his mouth.

“Thank you.”

Probably the first time.

A sincere word.

“What can I help you with today? ”

Kim Sung-cheol folded his arms and said in an indifferent voice.

“You don't need to trim the ingredients today. Why don't you come with me to my bedroom? ”

Looking at Sung-cheol Kim with bruised eyes, Largo said carefully.

“It's been a long time since I've been comforted by a man. ”

Even if Largo had thrown a chutney in the prime of his life, it wouldn't have worked. However, at this point in time when my body and mind were all sick, I felt tired only for Kim Sung-cheol.

“That's something I can't do. ”

“Then it must be the Apocalypse and nothing. ”

“You can't threaten an Apocalypse. ”

Sung-cheol Kim said, "Cut it out."

Largo said in a lonely voice.

“Getting old, it's really terrible. ”

“ ……. ”

“To see me rejected by an ugly Asian like you, who was called a rose in the shade of Lagranze. ”

“I'm sorry about that. I'm not making excuses, but we have a situation here. ”

“What reason? Do you have a wife you love? ”

“If there was such a thing, I wouldn't have done this. Honestly, I don't stand up. ”

When Largo heard that, he laughed like a child.

It was so awkward to cry just now.

“Was it a confessor? ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol reduced the grace period given to Largo from 5 days to 3 days in his mind.

“Now I get it. That's why I came to the Apocalypse while doing my errands. ”

After smiling for a long time, Largo said with a expressive look.

“Let me tell you. How to contact the Apocalypse. Actually, I was going to push a little harder and let you know, but now that I know your situation, I feel a little guilty. ”

Largo opened his heart in a place I never thought of.

She rubs a see-through egg over the bruised eye and reveals the information she knows.

“Tell me sooner or later, there's no way we can meet. I was under so much pressure, I couldn't even dream of a regular rally, and I couldn't even catch the place. ”

The way to meet the Apocalypse was unexpected.

On a bulletin board in front of the District Administration of District 8.

The Apocalypse says they boldly leave their mark on the board they're all watching.

leaving a secret mark on the corner of a random post that only they can recognize.

“There's no sign of him yet. Maybe he'll come back when his guard is loose. I check in with you every day, and I'll let you know when it comes back. ”

Kim Sung-cheol rebelled, but surprisingly, Largo kept his promise.

Two days later, she led Sung-cheol Kim to the executive of the Apocalypse.

Technically, it wasn't a formal meeting.

It was a process of knowing who would attend the congregation in advance.

Instead of being a member of a cult, the executives of the cult who were close to the thieves insisted on why Kim Sung-cheol tried to approach the cult.

Though Kim Sung-cheol suffered a stuffy crisis due to unexpected stringency, he was able to pass a difficult preliminary inspection with the help of Largo.

“This guy, he's got erectile dysfunction. I've received medicines and blessings, but I want to borrow the power of the Church because I can't find a way. ”

“… Is it true? ”

The executive of the Apocalypse looked at Sung-cheol Kim with sad eyes.

“ ……. ”

“There will be a rally on the last day of the year when the Youth Eve is happening. The location is still unknown, but it will be posted as a cryptogram, so be sure to come to the right place. ”

I've been in Lagrein for two months.

It was at last the moment when clues about the Apocalypse were opened.
