Main Character Hides His Strength

We've pulled the plug, but we've got a lot of work to do.

Procrustes is now in the hands of Kim Sung-cheol, but it's someone else's ship.

Riding around like this is not a wise choice.

“... I should at least change my color. ”

Kim Sung-cheol decided what to do first, circling around a beautiful curve.

Of course, the painting of the massive meridian is not that easy.

Even if Kim Sung-cheol works with divine power, painting is necessary to paint.

But Kim Sung-cheol didn't worry much.

Because he's an alchemist.

“Bertelkia.”

When or when will the power of an annuity be exercised?

Vertelgia, who is not very helpful in combat but not as useful in real life, boasts and asks.

“What color do you want? ”

Some of Bertelgia's recipes contained paints that could reproduce almost any color, as well as paints that appeared in many different colors depending on the angle of view.

Kim Sung-cheol replied while thinking for a moment.

“Black would be nice. ”

The most okay and chic collar.

“Isn't that a little dull? ”

Bertelkia adds, turning toward Marrakia, where meditation is taking place shortly.

“And the color of his feathers. ”

“Well, I see. ”

Kim Sung-cheol rarely gave up on his taste, but simply changed his mind.

Even Marrakia knows that Kim Sung-cheol's group is putting herself on the topic, so she flaps her wings and approaches this way.

“You guys. What are you talking about? My feathers itch.”

“I'm coloring the lines. ”

Bertelkia spoke naturally.

Marakia looked back at Kim Sung-cheol and Bertelkia as if she suspected something, but she couldn't figure out what had happened because they didn't say anything.

However, he thought about it while patting the beak tip with his arms and nodding his head to see if he was aware of one of the group.

“Black would be nice. ”

“Black is deprivation. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a calm tone.

“Huh? Black is the most noble color. There was darkness in the beginning. Don't you even know? Hating black is a pathetic habit of weak ape instincts who fear the night. ”

“Go and exercise. ”

Kim Sung-cheol chased away the annoying bird in a word.

Marrakia leaves with a shivering face, her beak wide open.

“Now, what color do you like? ”

Bertelkia opens her mouth as the disturber disappears.

“Well... no color comes to mind, but gray would be nice. ”

“Grey? Why do you like it so dull again? No matter how much people hate every continent, the more they do, the brighter they have to go through it. ”

“Hmm. Not everyone. Not too many people like me, huh? ”

“There will be a lot more people who don't like it. ”

“ ……. ”

Following Bertelgia's words, Kim Sung-cheol forgot what to say for a moment and thought deeply.

Soon, he glanced and said.

“Red. Red would be good. ”

“Red? That's a little...”

“Red is the color of passion. And I don't know why, but if I paint it red, I feel like it's going to go a little faster. ”

“That's a superstition even Orcs would believe. ”

Apparently, Bertelgia has an idea as well, considering he's continuing to wander off.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at Bertelkia and said in a bold tone.

“Do you have a color in mind? ”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Bertelkia nodded loudly and replied with a bright voice.

“Pink!”

“… Red. ”

“Huh?! There's no such thing! ”

The color was set.

You don't have to worry about the ingredients.

As long as there is a fragment of disaster, Kim Sung-cheol can produce paint that is almost infinite.

Kim Sung-cheol addressed the grumbling Vertelgia to make red dye, then began painting the hull with Maricia.

Both of them are extreme beings in the human world, so they work very quickly.

“Haha! If I had Wind Spirit Essence, I'd have worked three times faster. ”

During the work, Kim Sung-cheol felt the desire to make a beak stopper was okay.

In half a day, the white Pruchtess was reborn as a flaming red air.

Unlike ordinary paints, Eckhart developed a polish that shimmered when illuminated like enamel.

“… Hmm. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was unusually satisfied with his labor.

In the beginning, Procrustes himself was a ship with a gorgeous curve.

While the paint was dry, Kim Sung-cheol entered the next assignment.

“Next is naming. ”

Bertelkia senses an ominous energy.

She placed a piece of paper on the work table and ordered Sung-cheol Kim to write down the name she was thinking of.

Kim Sung-cheol wrote the name below on the paper.

[Nominee for Resonance]

1. Fabre

2. Seaton

3. Caucasian

4. Livestock

Bertelkia, who saw it, was frightened, although it was natural.

“Again with the favre! ”

“Why do you hate Fabre so much? ”

“Nevertheless, no Fabre! And so is Seaton.”

Bertelkia draws a pencil into the bookshelf, drawing a dark line between Fabre and Seaton.

Kim Sung-cheol felt sorry for him, but he took a step back here because he knew the idea of Bertelgia was so solid.

“Then I'll have to choose between the white bag and the liver. ”

Two names left.

Then Bertelkia looks at the two names and suddenly shivers.

“Hmm... I don't know about anything else, but the liver smells very dangerous...? Why did you put it in there?! ”

“... Then I put it in without a thought. I don't know why I put it in there. And like you said, I sense an extremely dangerous scent in the liver. ”

Kim Sung-cheol immediately picked up the pencil and removed the fourth item. The name Gandham soon disappeared without a trace.

There's only one left.

A cassette.

“What's a quarterback? ”

Bertelkia looks at the last candidate and asks.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone, reminiscent of an old children's great house that had been stuck in a ruining bookshelf when he was a child.

“He is the greatest of our ancestors when we were in that world. ”

“Great man? Some kind of a Fabre scholar? ”

“I'm not a scholar, I'm a general. My favorite person when I was a kid. ”

“General? What kind of man? ”

“He fought bravely before a fight he could not win until his last breath was cut off. Above all, he is famous for killing his beloved wife and child with his own hands, ready to never go back before a fight. ”

“Hmm...”

Unlike other names, Bertelgia is also concerned this time.

Soon after some time came the results.

The answer is no.

Bertelkia shakes lightly and speaks in a slightly dead voice.

“I know you're a brave soldier... but I don't think it's a name we should name our ships after. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

“Because, you know, a little bit, right? Even in the face of a losing battle, killing someone you love with your own hands...”

When Kim Sung-cheol heard that, he could sense the heart of Bertelgia.

‘You don't want tragedy. ’

There are many who like tragedies, but few who would like such tragedies to come to them.

“I see.”

Kim Sung-cheol doesn't want tragedy either.

I've been through enough tragedy already.

Kim Sung-cheol hopes that only good things will happen from now on.

Kim Sung-cheol carefully placed his hands on Bertelgia with a faint smile and asked with a soft voice.

“Do you have a name? ”

“Why do you ask? You're not gonna use the name I chose anyway, are you? ”

In remembrance of the rejection of the pink suggestion, Bertelgia shoots a prudent shot.

Then Sung-cheol Kim nodded, smiling bitterly and muttering to his little friend.

“Let's hear it and decide. ”

“Hmm... I won't count on it. ”

Bertelkia opened the bookshelf and flew a lot, grabbing the rolling pencil and writing down his name next to the four candidates written by Kim Sung-cheol.

[Sylphide]

“Sylphide? I've heard that name somewhere. ”

“Huh? Really? Surprisingly broad-minded. ”

“I remember seeing some commercial novels designated as Empire hazards. ”

Kim Sung-cheol muttered, reminiscent of the end of the book of burning remains piled up like mountains in the square.

Maybe the guilt was...? ’

Bertelgia suddenly said to Sung-cheol Kim, who was immersed in memories.

“That's not a name from a novel. ”

“Really?"

“He's one of the legendary spiritual kings. Wind Spirit King!”

Bertelgia speaks in a loud voice.

“Oh. The Spirit King. ”

“That, too, is the Queen of Wind Spirits! ”

For some reason, Bertelkia seems to have a vision for the Queen of the Wind Spirits called Sylphid.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, thinking that Bertelkia is cute.

“Good. The name of the new ship is Sylphide. ”

“Really?"

“A man does not say two things. ”

When Bertelkia heard that, she shouted and flew excitedly over the sky, and immediately rushed to Marakia, who stood still, and began pecking at her wings.

“Beep, what are you doing? A living book! ”

“Hold still! I'm just gonna pluck out one feather! ”

It's probably the first time I've ever seen Bertelkia so fond.

I suddenly shook Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, looking at Bertelkia with warm smiles.

A cold voice like a frostbite suddenly resounded in consciousness.

“First of all, they're sisters, too. ”

It's not the voice of reality.

It's an unpleasant memory of the past.

‘I can't believe this memory comes out at a time like this. ’

Kim Sung-cheol's face was so stiff because of small happiness.

An unpleasant memory continued against his will.

“Did he do it? You're your father's daughter? ”

I echoed in the ritual of Kim Sung-cheol in a creepy form of a voice that does not contain any emotion.

That voice was essentially the same as the voice Kim Sung-cheol relies on most now.

But it's a different object.

Another book standing in front of the Chamber of Calamity, without waves.

That book is nothing to Kim Sung-cheol.

It is said to have its own abilities, but if Kim Sung-cheol decides, it will be far away but will disappear.

But the fear of the book is not in its own power.

Kim Sung-cheol clearly remembers the last words of the book.

“Anyway, if you want this reality to last, you should give up on the creationist thing. To you, and to the child. ”

Kim Sung-cheol desperately ruled his mind and swept away the unpleasant memories so that he no longer stayed in his consciousness.

Memories were scattered and voices were lost.

However, the weight of that voice is still pressing down on the corner of my heart.

“Hm? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden? At this historic moment in the name of a new cause! ”

Vertelgia, who pulled out one of the black feathers of Gekko Marakia, flies like a butterfly and talks to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol shook his head and said in a calm voice, as always.

“... It's nothing. Bertelkia.”

Kim Sung-cheol turned around, hoping that nothing would happen.

His glorious, red shimmering new aura, Sylphide, obscures the gloomy shadow on his face.

*

Time flowed like a watermelon.

By the time the sign of the end of winter began to appear all over Eunja's tower, Kim Sung-cheol was getting ready for a new journey.

The crew problem was surprisingly lightly solved.

The best plan was to use Eckhart's small golem as a crew member, suggested by Bertelkia.

Unlike Humans, small golems didn't need salary, ideology, or food. However, there was a minor problem that we had to use adra in our pockets - the carbunkles - as a small golem, but we only needed to retrieve it back into our pockets during the battle.

During his trip, Sung-cheol decided to use his knowledge of alchemy to adapt his new work more efficiently, and hurried off.

“Where the hell is Marrakia? ”

“Looks like he's been holed up in the Tower of Silver lately and is up to something. ”

Marrakia shows up on the deck of the aircraft, saying that the tiger is coming.

A meaningful smile hangs over Marrakia's mouth.

“Hehehe... I'm ready for this.”

Perhaps he's up to something shady in the tower of Eunza.

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly said.

“Did you see the ant wiki again? ”

“Peek-a-boo... what are you talking about?! ”

Seeing that he denies it so strongly, he must have done something about the ant wiki.

Kim Sung-cheol ignored Marakia and grabbed the key to his new flagship with both hands.

“Anyway, it's time to go. ”

A small golem loosens the rope that secures the dock and the airspace.

Dozens of hard ropes were loosened together, and the hull of the aircraft shook violently one at a time.

But wait a minute.

Kim Sung-cheol's flagship, a red Sylphide, began to forcefully cut through the air.

An icy stream and forest spread widely in front of Kim Sung-cheol's group.
