One week into the end of the year.

The system was immersed in a frenzied crucible before the eve of the Youth Night, which was expected to be the largest festival since the creation of the Human Empire.

District 8 was no exception.

Emperor's silver temple was falling here, usually abandoned in the ignorance of the Empire, called the Human sewers.

The head of District 8, Wei Long, the security guard, held a big stage in front of the Administrative Office of District 8 and released clowns to distribute food to people.

For Kim Sung-cheol, who had lived in the wild for eight years, this magnificent event was rare.

He hid his identity and traveled throughout the districts to see the events that took place everywhere.

The announcement of the event in 4 of them disturbed him.

[Emperor Lagranje's Cooking Contest]

[Taste buds in 15 years]

[Who will be the best chef in the world?]

“ ……. ”

Since I saw the advertisement, there has been a wind wave in Kim Sung-cheol's heart.

“Why do people get so childish when they just cook? Huh?”

If Bertelkia hadn't caught up with him, he might have put his name on the list of participants.

Unfortunately, the apocalypse rally is scheduled on the last day of this year's Cooking Competition.

Due to the nature of the competition, if you participate in the Cooking Contest all day long, you will not be able to attend the Apocalypse rally.

It was a wise choice to have a secret meeting when everyone's attention was drawn to the festival, but Kim Sung-cheol had a strong complaint about this.

The Apocalypse. I don't like it any more. ’

There was a crisis separate from the Apocalypse.

Those who knew the face of Kim Sung-cheol were in the system.

While watching the singing competition taking place in District 7, Kim Sung-cheol discovered Claris and Kurt Assam family members who met in Panchuria.

Clariss dressed as a womanizer, whether she was working in a factory or not, finished the song on stage despite the myriad of gossips and ridicules that were pouring out.

At the end of her song, there was a little bit of applause in the cynical crowd.

After the song, Claris's gaze was fixed on Kim Sung-cheol's side.

Kim Sung-cheol hid her tracks while she was gazing, but Claris looked at where Kim Sung-cheol was for a long time, puzzled.

“That singing sister is here, too. ”

“I have a bad feeling about this. ”

Kim Sung-cheol also came back to the mansion thinking that he should only go around in District 8.

At the entrance of the mansion, Kim Sung-cheol saw Anglo-Saxon Boy and his concubine riding out the front door in a wagon.

I looked inside the car window and saw Anglo-Saxonboy's very pleasant face, and in the wagon that was disappearing beyond, I heard the laughter of a woman who was tickling.

After returning to the kitchen, Sung-cheol Kim could see Largo smoking a lotus candle.

The beginning of the year is also an inevitable choice, although it is never good for the child's body. Because if she doesn't finish her first year, she won't be able to endure her withdrawal.

“I've prepared it for you. ”

Largo smiled as he pointed to a pile of onions piled up in a pile of water.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol took off his coat and hung up his coat and trimmed the onions without saying a word.

Kim Sung-cheol continued to listen to Largo's demands, although she no longer needed to listen to her request, given the opportunity to meet the Apocalypse.

He loved to cook in the beginning, but most of all, he knew that Largo had no future.

Perhaps she will die before giving birth to a child.

Although it seems that the Apocalypse medicine is blocking the transfer of the curse, the curse of extermination that God has given is not something you can just take a few pills away from.

“I asked you once before. ”

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth while peeling the onion.

“What?”

At the beginning of the year, Largo turned his head and put Kim Sung-cheol's back into his eyes, resting his neck comfortably.

“Will Anglo fix his mind by giving birth to that child? ”

“Of course.”

The answer is no different than before.

Except for the blaming it on Kim Sung-cheol.

“Did you say Anglo and Cristina on the way here? I saw him go downtown with that young woman. You seem to be getting along. ”

“I know that. But having a baby will change everything. There's a long history between that son of a bitch and me that the boy can't dare interfere with. ”

I had a rare pride in Largo's face when he said that.

“Yes. There was a little romance between us that was quite dramatic. ”

“Oh.”

Kim Sung-cheol stopped knitting and looked at Largo.

Largo replied with a sudden look on his face.

“Where should I start? Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'm actually a Summoner myself. ”

“Really? That's a no-brainer. ”

I can't even think about it.

Because Largo was too weak for a Summoner.

Bae Sung-hye, the inner sperm, also belongs to the weak side in the minor patient axis, but he has the ability to stand out among ordinary citizens with a mind of his own.

She is also a graduate of the fine Summon Plaza, even if she is hell on earth.

“The look on your face makes you think you never will. ”

If Largo had talent, it was to read the heart of Kim Sung-cheol, who is usually expressionless.

That one was amazing.

Seeing Kim Sung-cheol without positivity or denial, Largo smiled and suddenly rolled up his sleeves.

“Actually, I'm from slavery. It was Red Plaza.I heard a voice and chose the path of slavery as soon as I was summoned there. ”

In her arms remains a distinct mark that symbolizes slavery.

“You're sane for a slave, aren't you? ”

Kim Sung-cheol knew what the slaves in the Summon Square were in circulation and had actually seen the scene.

“Some customers have special tastes. The human who bought me was a fallen Rutheginian aristocrat, just like you. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm not saying the confessor's bad, but his rotten taste is unusual. He prefers to destroy women's bodies rather than covet them. So I wanted a sane slave. It's worth destroying. ”

She turns around and pulls up the top.

On the back of the tattooed skin are the dreadful traces of torture.

She lowers her top, which was caught in the slip.

“He tortured the slaves one by one and slaughtered them like dogs. Then it was my turn, and luckily, the son of a bitch rescued me. Anglo-Saxon Boy. ”

“Son of a bitch does good things sometimes, too, huh? ”

“Right? Anyway, there was such a romance between us. It just happened because it didn't have any fruit, but if it did, everything would go back to the way it was. ”

Largo said in a confident voice.

“If you really loved her. ”

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly said.

Bertelgia was surprised, too.

It was the first time Kim Sung-cheol put the word love in his mouth.

“It doesn't have to be like that, doesn't it? ”

“What do you mean? ”

Largo said, expressing unpleasantness.

“Literally. So I'm just saying, in a small way, impress him. Even if you give birth to a child, if you don't change, you'll eventually come back. ”

Kim Sung-cheol regretted saying that.

It wasn't like him.

Let the fate of those who pass by like Largo pass by.

However, for some reason, Kim Sung-cheol was secretly speaking out of concern.

“Then what do you want me to do? ”

Moreover, Largo is listening to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol regretted that he had made a statement, but he regretted it later.

With Largo's hot eyes, he continued to talk about Juju Island.

“Anglo. I mean, you're old enough, right? Young women are nice, but what a man his age really needs is a companion. ”

“That's a reasonable thing to say when you don't stand up. Okay, so what specifically do we do? ”

“ ……. ”

I was stuck.

It was because I didn't have anything else to say.

Kim Sung-cheol rolled his head for a moment and found a comfortable choice and pushed into a bold tone.

“Why don't you start by serving some delicious food? Home cooking always has a special magical power over men. ”

“Home cooking?”

Largo's eyes sparkle.

Kim Sung-cheol realized that he had already crossed the river that he couldn't go back to, but he was curious.

It would be better to push it all the way out.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and told Largo.

“You said Anglo was Japanese, right? I'll give you a good recipe. ”

The knife in Kim Sung-cheol's hand turned from his cold fingertips.

*

I was on my way back to the kitchen to feed Tom.

Largo ran to the entrance and stopped Sung-cheol Kim.

A face filled with rare joy.

“What kind of magic did you cast? ”

Largo spoke in a loud voice to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol who saw it thought to himself.

‘Looks like it worked. ’

He handed Largo some dishes that the Japanese might like.

Ordinary home dining, not fancy cooking.

According to Largo, Anglo-Saxon-like dishes stuffed with beef and potatoes and spilled their tears.

Of course, Largo's grades are rising.

Dum said that the face of the young woman who was having dinner with him was distorted.

“It was the first time anyone's made that look on me since I've been chased into the kitchen. ”

“That's a good thing. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't feel uncomfortable, but he felt pretty good. It's a relief to know that his cooking can actually help someone.

Kim Sung-cheol passed on a dish to Largo that Anglo-Saxon Boy might like, and her ratings gradually went up.

At some point, Kim Sung-cheol could see the desperate appearance of Largo enduring the seduction of smoky grass and drugs.

Honestly, it was a beautiful sight.

Kim Sung-cheol joyfully waited for the night of Young-yeon.

Time flowed quickly like a stream.

Kim Sung-cheol went to the store with Largo.

It was originally Kim Sung-cheol who saw it, but he was forced to accompany him because he asked Largo to teach him how to pick good things.

Largo no longer wore fancy clothes or handled Kim Sung-cheol as a servant.

Moreover, there was another purpose for the two of them to go out together.

“The place is set. Abandoned lung in a greenhouse. ”

Largo reported the meeting location to Kim Sung-cheol after seeing the signs of the Apocalypse in secret on the bulletin board in front of the Administrative Office of District 8.

The next two days.

We're almost there.

When he came to see the business, Kim Sung-cheol met Kim and his wife, unfortunately.

“Look who it is! Kimchi! Long time no see!”

Largo runs to Kim Chi, waving his arms and pretending to be close to him.

Kimchi stared at Largo with a puzzled look, not being able to adapt to Largo's appearance for a short period of time.

Kim Sung-cheol told Kim separately, and then Kim noticed the change in Largo and welcomed him.

Largo pretended to be close to Bae Sung-hye as well.

“As I've heard, she's quite a beauty. Not as bad as I was when I was younger. But where are we going? Looks like the two of you went to the other precinct in good clothes. ”

Then Bae Sung-hye smiled and replied.

“Because of the baby in the womb. ”

“Kid?”

It was perfectly natural that Largo showed interest.

Bae Sung-hye, who knows nothing, smiled and said in a cheeky tone.

“I'm sorry about the baby... but we were on our way to see the Mura Cult for a living. ”

Kim gave a big smile while hugging Bae Seoin's shoulders like that, and Bae Seoin smiled with a shy smile.

The look on Largo's face was awkward.

Kim Sung-cheol, who doesn't know what Largo's heart is, patted him on the shoulder.

“He's in the hospital tomorrow! You should have seen the look on our employees' faces when we were from District 8! ”

On the other hand, Kim Sung-cheol could feel that Largo's face had changed badly.

He hurries to say goodbye.

“I've been busy. I have to go first.”

Kim Sung-cheol returned to Anglo-Saxon Boy's mansion with Largo.

As expected, Largo's mind seemed very unstable. She was returning to her mouth the candlelight years that had been cut off over the past few days.

Sucking the lotus grass with trembling hands, she said.

“Maybe you're right. ”

When Sung-cheol Kim gazed indifferently, Largo spoke in a lonely tone.

“True love doesn't have to bear fruit. ”

She looks determined.

Kim Sung-cheol felt an ominous premonition about this, but on the other hand it was not a bad choice.

Because in order for her to survive, she has to sacrifice one life.

It is a rite of passage that must be taken in order to go on the right path, even if it is an enlightenment by purpose.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and let her go.

And two days later.

As we come to the end of the year, the largest celebration of the new year of Lagranje approaches.

The night everyone sleeps dreaming of a grand festival.

Two ominous shadows appear in the Catacombs controlled by Roxanne Hand.

“Maybe we should stop here? This doesn't bring an extinct nation back to life. ”

The woman in the glasses looked back at the man with the sword and said in a dull voice.

The man with the sword shakes his head, grinning.

“You're right. But you can't just watch, can you? The Imperial bastards who sold us to disaster are laughing and quaking! ”

“Well, I agree with that. ”

“Then let's go. Phoebe Canvas! To shit on the Emperor's face. ”

Decapitation.

The murderer, who had pushed the system into the dreaded crucible, walked firmly through the entrance of Catacombs and severed the locked chain with his sword.
