Main Character Hides His Strength

It's been a long time.

I couldn't bathe properly in Lagranje.

There was also a public bathhouse, but the facilities were not too good and there were too many people who could not say that the quality was good.

Kim Sung-cheol remembers the gaze of the people in District 8 looking at him cleanly.

It may have been a meaningless act for them, but that look was painful for Kim Sung-cheol.

He is a man who bows his head.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the golden duck stuck in the bathtub and woke up in the tub.

I dressed up in a nightgown with a lustrous sparkle prepared by the Witch of the Forest and smelled delicious when I went alone.

“Oh, you're still glorious and graceful. ”

The Witch of the Forest is sitting at the table with the fairies.

The fairies dressed in white and purple respectively greeted Kim Sung-cheol with a smile, but there was Bertelkia, who had a gold molding that he had never seen before.

Bertelgia said arrogantly when she saw Kim Sung-cheol.

“Welcome. Why did you want to leave such a nice, wonderful place behind? Have you sinned against these good and good people? ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol sat on the dining table without saying a word.

On the table was a feast of true covens prepared by witches.

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed the smoked legs of the live King Chicken and put them in his mouth.

[This dish scores... 91 points!]

[At this rate, you will be qualified to meet me, the Lord of Food!]

A score of 90.

Kim Sung-cheol has never achieved it.

Adelwhite grins and touches the brooch on his top with his fingertips.

Her brooch shines with a heavy diamond glow.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's expression rotted away from the taste.

‘I never should have come to this place. ’

Adele White was a woman of unknown age.

In a way, she looked like a girl in her late teens, and in a certain way, she looked like a noblewoman with a lot of pride in her 40s.

At that time, it would be correct to say that the appearance changed.

She had two small colleagues.

They're real fairies, not homunculus.

The names of these precious fairies who lived only in the spirit system were pleasant and bright, respectively, by Kaf and Le Ro. They were particularly interested in the homuncluses who copied them.

“There's a lady named Homunklaus in the neighborhood next to Lagranze. Oh, come on. What that freak does is he catches a wild homunculus and he makes a puffy orphan soup. ”

Bertelgia is the commander of two fairies, groveling like a group.

“Wow, that's really scary! ”

“What did Lady Horunklaus look like?! ”

Kim Sung-cheol was quietly filling his stomach while Bertelkia was painting one of his organs on paper.

Although Adelaide's gaze on the other side is burdensome, Mount Kumgang is also a culinary landscape.

Adelaide opens her mouth after time for a cup of tea.

“How's it going there? How are you holding up?”

“… Moderately. ”

I've known Adele White for more than 20 years.

At a time when he had not yet taken off his rookie tea, he entered the haunted forest and met the infamous witch.

Fortunately, the rumored witch is not as vicious as the rumors.

She welcomed Kim Sung-cheol and since then she has barely moved on.

It was Kim Sung-cheol who asked me to put a curse on erectile dysfunction.

“Huh? How did you know about the witch, then? That... that's the enemy of our world? ”

Bertelgia, who was painting a portrait of Aunt Horunklaus, suddenly asked.

This is a difficult situation.

Kim Sung-cheol deliberately dropped the fork to change the subject.

“Oops!”

But his efforts did not work.

“Oh, this? I was distracted and distracted by a girl I liked, and then I got physically bitten by a python...”

“A python?”

“Oops!”

Kim Sung-cheol had a strong cough.

Adelwhite smiles with his hands over his mouth and winks at Bertelkia.

“Well, there was that. Miss Book.”

“Oh, the witch must know I'm a girl. ”

“Of course. Just like you...”

“Huh?"

“Ah. Mistake. In fact, I looked at you with magical powers. Well, that's not the point, is it? ”

Adele White smiled and turned her gaze back to Kim Sung-cheol.

“I'll let you go if you want. The curse.”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol noticed that he was not thinking like that.

Bertelgia pauses, then paints again.

Soon after, a man named Lady Horunklaus appeared in her fireworks.

The fairies who saw it screamed in surprise.

“You look really scary! ”

“I'm afraid it'll come out in my dreams! ”

Time flew by in a tumultuous atmosphere.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol was able to harden his heart.

“Hmm. I don't think we need it right now. ”

Honestly, it's useless.

Kim Sung-cheol thought quietly, feeling that way.

‘Now that I think about it, am I really a monk? Whoever killed me could find a couple of lions inside me. ’

Adele White, who heard his answer, tilts her head and asks.

“Why? You still haven't met the girl you like? ”

“We can't meet. You have no idea what I've been through. ”

“I know it's called the enemy of the world. ”

Adelwhite raises his hand and flicks his finger once.

Then the fairies got up from the fairy chair and landed on the floor.

The fairies gesture to Bertelgia.

“Perhaps the Witch has something urgent to say to you. ”

“We're going to have a nice time together in our room. ”

Bertelgia felt a subtle atmosphere flowing between the witches and Kim Sung-cheol and followed behind the fairies.

After Bertelgia's group disappears, Adelheim opens the air with a thoughtful gesture of his hand.

The true dinners that were on the table suddenly disappeared, and a warm tea and refreshment appeared instead.

I moved the teapot with hot water as if I had life on my own and followed the tea aromatic to the teacups of Adelaide White and Kim Sung-cheol.

When he tasted a cup of tea, Adelwhite said in a calm tone.

“Are you going to make that offer again? ”

Adelwhite smiles and nods.

“Yes, I've been expelled for the 13th time, but I want to offer you one more time. ”

She clears her voice and opens her mouth with star-like eyes.

“This forest is evenly blessed by high order and order. No disaster can harm the people of the forest. So why don't you forget about the disaster outside and come live with me? ”

It is a difficult proposal to refuse even a man who is called a mediocre man or a hero of obsolete times.

Living together in a private garden with a beautiful, wise and dedicated witch.

But Kim Sung-cheol knows more about the woman named Adelaide than anyone else.

Adele White is no ordinary human being.

She has lived a long life, repeating death and resurrection like the Phoenix.

Therefore, she cannot contain the feeling of love.

It is because everything is boring and repetitive for her to live a lifetime of eternity.

Love is no exception.

If you wrap your attention with love, you might be able to draw a picture, but it's hard for Kim Sung-cheol to accept everything.

So his answer remains unchanged.

“No, I'm sorry. ”

Adelwhite did not have much of a change in his expression, as though he had expected his answer.

Instead, I took a refreshment and sighed shallow.

“I was honestly looking forward to it this time. If I hadn't seen a girl in over a decade, I would have seen a difference! ”

“I have nothing to say. ”

Kim Sung-cheol felt awkward.

In fact, Adele White is very narrow.

There is an unmeasurable relationship that does not reveal any emotion on the outside, but it never forgets a personal vendetta and must repay.

That's why he didn't want to see the Witch of the Forest. When we meet, we repeat the same questions and answers, and we get another useless grudge. And annoying disasters that follow like humps. How many times has Sung-cheol Kim had a hard time with Adelwhite? The curse that had not tasted for days has been the most terrifying curse he has ever faced. He was so frightened that he came to me to let me go.

Today's development was different.

Adele White said in a casual voice as if nothing had really happened.

“Anyway, what are you going to do? Are you going to continue to solve the disaster to save her life? ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at her with a wave of tea cups.

Fortunately, there seems to be no other end.

He nods.

“That woman, she's so lucky. You took both the minds of the men I took. ”

“ ……. ”

“No, I just thought, you know, that's not really the case. ”

Adele White flashes as if she's remembered something.

Kim Sung-cheol asked with an ominous hunch.

“What are you thinking? ”

Then Adele White looked at Kim Sung-cheol and dropped her nerves.

“You don't... like little girls? ”

“Bullshit.”

Kim Sung-cheol strongly denied and shook his head.

Adele White continued, smiling.

“No, he didn't. He didn't bring her here. It's always the little girls carrying her around. ”

“This is the book I brought with me. ”

“That's right. Books are books. Well...”

“I know what you're going to say, but I want you to stop saying weird things. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so, and inhaled the car.

There was silence on the table for a moment.

Beyond the wide open window, you hear the owl's cry faint.

Kim Sung-cheol carelessly glanced at the dark winter forest and tilted his tea cup.

“Anyway, I thought you were a little familiar with the book. Not like you, with so many enemies and so few friends. ”

Adelwhite opens his mouth again.

“He's fine. It's useful.”

Kim Sung-cheol, frankly, was secretly thankful to Bertelkia.

It's hard to imagine now.

A journey without him.

Before that, he was remarkable at how he survived eight years alone.

‘Then I got him thanks to Bae Seoin Hye. ’

I don't know if Bae Sung-hye even dreamed of it, but Kim Sung-cheol was thanking her during Eun-yeon.

Perhaps it's because such gratitude lies at the base of the roots.

It was that moment when I was locked in my memory.

Adelwhite rubs his hood and opens his mouth.

“I've seen the same book before. ”

Kim Sung-cheol doubted his ears for a moment.

“What? A book like Bertelgia? ”

“Yes, the same Living Book as him. ”

I don't think you're joking.

Kim Sung-cheol shakes his head feeling hit by the occipital tap.

“No way. That's impossible.”

“I don't know if it looks like it, but, you know, there's a very complicated ritual in that book, right? It's a genius idea that connects time and space and matter and everything. It was the first idea I'd seen since the world was covered in black ashes. So of course I remember. ”

“You must be mistaken. That's the guy from the book. ”

Kim Sung-cheol insisted on tasting the tea.

Adelwhite muttered as he looked at Kim Sung-cheol's attitude.

“Maybe it's a book that thinks of itself as a person. ”

“So who has the book? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's voice was mixed with emotions.

Rarely seen

“I remember seeing it about five years ago. He was a rookie adventurer.He was a Summoner like you. Well, you know it's my old hobby to invite promising Summoners, right? ”

“ ……. ”

“Unfortunately, I heard you died exploring the ruins about three years ago. I wasn't strong like you. ”

“What about the book? ”

“It's on fire. I regretted it a little bit, but if I'd known, I would've tried to steal the book or buy it myself. ”

“... You don't have much credibility. ”

“I'm just saying. Anyway, while you're here, why don't you go look at the dots? ”

Adelaide changed the subject when she saw Kim Sung-cheol's discomfort.

“Dots...”

Adelwhite calls himself an ordinary witch, but the king and his wives know it.

The true value of the Witch of the Ghost Forest is not cursed, but in the eyes of the future.

She sees the future as it is known.

Through something with someone.

Even though it can't be very abstract and clearly defined, the predictions that combine each memorable scene together are extremely accurate.

She prophesied the destruction of the Kingdom of Rutheginia, and furthermore, she also prophesied the departure from the World Congress of Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol doesn't usually believe in the prophecy, but Adelaide's ability is somewhat trusted.

Although we are not bound by the prophecy, we can refer to the future somewhat.

“How long will it take? ”

“About a week? It could take a month. ”

“That's too long. ”

“I'll open the door to the spirit system. Just say hello to the kid for a second. You know what you're gonna do. You know how dangerous it is. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and pulled out the armpit from the Soul Warehouse.

“I'll leave this to you. ”
