Possessing Nothing

A huge bonfire lit the forest. You dance around the fairies beyond the scattered flames.

A bunch of empty jars roll around the fire. Chang Wang, who drank shaking liquor without pressing drunk into the air, unexpectedly fell asleep quietly in the corner.

Royce drank too much from his first drink because he was caught by the Chang Wang.

The Black Dragon Cow was sitting around Teresa, her cheek stained with a little drink, talking about something, but Lee Sung-min didn't listen to what he was saying.

What the Black Dragon Cow said was a gossip that a woman of Teresa's age would love, so she didn't have to listen.

“What happens to a child born between a demigod and a human? ”

“Is it possible for anti-anti-Seminars to give birth in the first place? ”

“Hmm… I don't know. Isn't that usually sterile? Why, the mule is sterile. ”

“A dragon is not a donkey or a horse. ”

“But don't you have to go and ask if you're a confessor, or, before that, think about whether a saint can get married and give birth? ”

Scarlet shakes his wine glass, making a serious face and mutters. Thinking about it, Seong-min nodded his head because he seemed right.

“But the age difference is a little.... ”

“You're 200 years old, no matter how little you catch, right? Still, I don't think there's a big problem... if we just love each other. ”

“Do you think it's possible? ”

“There's nothing to see. His personality, compared to that sleeping old man over there... is perfectly fine. I mean, there's not a lot of people in the world who don't have enough money compared to that old man. ”

Scarlet laughs and giggles at what's so exciting.

Let's just say they both are.

Scarlet looks up slightly, blinking at Lee Sung-min.

“What's your relationship with the Little Horse? ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“No, I'm just curious. You don't have to tell me firsthand, you don't have to hear that they're very sticky. ”

“Aren't you a little drunk? ”

“Pretend you're drunk. Who else would ask me something like this? ”

“No one else is curious but Scarlet. ”

“I don't think so. ”

Scarlet confidently takes the wine glass to his lips. She glanced at the white sogo sitting near Lee Sung-min.

Both cheeks of the bago, which hugged the knees with arms, were covered in a blazing color.

The eyes of the Saxogo and Scarlet glance over here. Baek Sogo was furious, pretending not to, and raised his glass.

“W-why? Women like to talk about things like this. Especially not a good idea for a drink. ”

“That's right."

Rubia blinks at the elves, saying she hates bitterness. She tugs at the cat's ears, kneeling at her feet, and sits beside Scarlet.

“I know what it's like to have a relationship with Lee Sung-min. ”

“How do you know? ”

“I saw the two of you sharing a meeting in the woods. Not only that, but what happened before.... ”

“Don't say anything. ”

Lee Sung-min glanced at Rubia and said. Rubia pops her lips out and grabs the fruit wine again. This kind of story makes me more curious.

“Are you still confused? I am your master. Who is the great wizard who broke his contract with the Queen of Spirits and made you a minister? ”

“I... I'm Scarlet. ”

“I'm your only master now that the Spirit Queen is dead. Now answer me. What's your relationship? ”

“We've been friends since childhood. ”

Scarlet was not satisfied with that answer. She shook her eyes and urged the answer.

Rubia also silenced herself without saying whether she wanted to hear properly from Lee Sung-min's perspective.

In the meantime, Teresa smiles at the mysterious joke of the Black Dragon Cow and says it's good. Baek Sogo listened as he narrowed the street for some time.

First encounter, Dungeon, Rubes, Fairy Forest, Sleeping Forest.

Lee told me a story about Ji Ho-yeon. I reduced things and didn't say what I shouldn't.

Rather, it brings imagination to those who hear it. Rubia covers her cheeks with her red cheeks, saying that she spent a year together in these woods.

His cheeks were slightly stiff. Scarlet kicks his tongue at that excavation.

“That's too bad. ”

“Yes?”

“No, it's nothing. ”

Scarlet clutches his chin with his hands, feeling a complex feeling. Scarlet was also quite fond of Lee Sung-min.

Thinking about it, the only man I've known for a long time was Lee Min-min, who was innocent, compassionate, decent, and good at it.

Scarlet didn't have much of a choice in the first place. Like most wizards, Scarlet has lived a life of magic rather than love, romance, marriage, and so on.

It's a little sad, it's a little sad, it feels like that. But it didn't make me sad.

‘Well, the second or third doesn't matter. ’

In that sense, Scarlet was very open. Of course, I don't want to do that right now.

First we must finish the end, then we must accomplish our grievance as wizards. Love, romance, marriage. Maybe that's what's next.

However, the white sogo is different.

Scarlet glances at the Pallid Saxony's face. Earlier, it was a little red from the hangover, but there was no trace of it on her face.

While listening to the story, he used internal air to get rid of the hangover.

You're not gonna confess?]

I can't help it. I have no choice but to step up and be the Cupid of Love. Scarlet sends a telepath to the shivering swagger.

Then the Saxogo looks at Scarlet in surprise.

[What do you mean all of a sudden?]

[All of a sudden. Don't you know what you look like? Can I have a mirror?]

What's wrong with my face?]

[All right, all right. What are you gonna do about it? You're not gonna confess? I think it's a good time. If you're willing, I can help you catch the wind.]

[I...... don't feel that way about priests.]

What's wrong with your face?]

[What do you think of my face?]

[It's the face of a foolish woman who couldn't confess to her lover, who kept it in her heart for over a decade with her unreasonable confidence that it would be just me, and then found out that she had been bitten years ago sucking and sucking.]

Baek Sogo was speechless and tightened his lower lip. Scarlet chews his tongue and scowls at the white sogo.

Lee Seong-min poured a bottle of liquor into the glass, feeling like she didn't want to talk about it.

[Anyway, I get it. You mean you don't want to talk about it?]

[…… I don't think it's a good story for a city like this. And I... I mean, I don't have any more feelings than death penalty for priests...]

[That's what you think. Don't worry, I'll talk to him.]

It seemed like the role of Cupid was too much. But Scarlet didn't give up.

Scarlet took the jar that Lee Sung-min was following and filled it himself.

“What do you think about some polygamy? ”

“…… what nonsense……. ”

“Just answer me. ”

“…… If it's some kind of polygamy, doesn't it mean that a man alone leaves a woman as his wife? ”

“That's right."

“Wouldn't it be a fight between women? ”

“Women understand each other well and may not fight. ”

“But still... ”

“And what about monogamy? ”

“I don't want to.”

“Piece of shit. ”

There was no need to think about it. Scarlet picks up the slang and spits it out.

“You don't like having multiple husbands as a woman, and you like having multiple wives as a man? ”

“I never said it was good. ”

“There's a difference in the answer. Women can understand each other well, it was a nuance like this. ”

“No, I'm not.”

“Just shut up. Bastards. Men are all the same. Well, who doesn't like a woman coming? You can't say no to a girl who comes in pretty. ”

“Why are you so negative about this? ”

“I hate you, you son of a bitch. ”

“What did I do……. ”

“White cow. What did you do 10 years ago? ”

“…… Yes? ”

Scarlet turns his head to look at the White Society. The sagging Saxony looks at Scarlet in horror.

“Yes?”

“What did you do 10 years ago? ”

“I... I left the world. ”

“Before that? ”

“I was on the mountain of the Mesh.... ”

“You were on that damn mountain again, weren't you? Well, I was better off than you. I wrote a book on my fingertips, smelled moldy books stuck in a horse tower, and I poked the theory so my head would explode. And you, you were biting and sucking with the little horse! ”

“Is that all I did? And to bite and suck like that... ”

“So you didn't? ”

“Th……. ”

“You're so, so honest in this way. Can you at least say no to me? ”

“I didn't. ”

“I want to kill you, really. ”

As Lee Sung-min replies with a shaky face, Scarlet shakes his shoulders and spits out in an angry voice. Lee took a drink while clearing his throat.

“I'm an idiot who wants to talk to you. With a guy like this who doesn't know.... ”

“Why didn't I notice? ”

That's how Lee looked at Scarlet. It was uselessly deep eyes.

Scarlet pulls his chin in surprise. Lee Sung-min sighed and shook his head.

“I don't know. ”

“Hey."

“The end is not yet over. I've exterminated the Spirit Queen, but there's still Jennifer and there's the godless. There may be other catastrophes. So... ”

“I knew this would happen. Why are you taking this so seriously again? ”

“That's just it. Mostly my wife and wife...... What does it matter now? ”

“Tomorrow may be the end of the world, so shouldn't we live a life without regret? ”

“Do you want to plant an apple tree? ”

“What a piece of shit. Why would you plant an apple tree? ”

“That's what I said in the world I was in. Even if the Earth falls tomorrow... an apple tree... ”

“What the hell are you doing? What's Earth? And why plant an apple tree when you're doomed? Let's eat another apple. ”

Scarlet shoots you in a cheerful voice. Lee Sung-min wanted to argue about it, but he didn't even know the name of the philosopher who said it, so he just kept his mouth shut.

“…… Anyway, I don't really want to talk about it. While we are still doing this, Wijiho-yeon.... ”

“You must be going through hell. It was easy to catch the Queen of Spirits, thanks to you. In fact, even if we do nothing, the Small Horse can stop the apocalypse on his own. ”

“I don't want to burden her with anything. ”

“I'm just saying. I don't want to believe a few thousand words I've never met. I'll do it myself. See for myself. What's wrong with the atmosphere? So why talk about the end of the world in vain... ”

“Ah.”

Before Scarlet's grumbling ends, Lee Sung-min flashes in his head and makes a loud noise.

I was furious at the Saxogo who was looking down and controlling the complex heart.

“Spinoza.”

“What?"

“Spinoza. The name of the man who promised to plant the apple tree. ”

“What am I supposed to do? ”

“It just... came to me. ”

“Bastard……. ”

“Hahaha!”

Teresa laughs out loud. Scarlet distorts his eyebrows, watching Teresa talking to the Black Dragon Cove beyond the campfire.

“What the hell is so funny that you're breaking up like that? ”

“Surprisingly humorous. ”

“That's right, you're a snitch. ”

“That's unclear, isn't it? ”

“There's a good chance. By the way, what do you think of the Little Horse? ”

“What? ”

“Some antipsychotics. ”

“Is that still the case? ”

Lee said that because it was ridiculous. Again, I listened to pretending not to be a Saxony. Scarlet nods his head with a serious look.

“Come to think of it, I think the opinion of the little one is more important than you. ”

After all, I've talked to Wijihoen before. It was a conversation I had before I left the fairy forest.

“…… he said it doesn't matter because he was the first one. ”

“The first? ”

“That……. ”

“No, thank you. Okay, so you're always first, right? I don't care about the second or third. That's a lot of confidence. I've never met him, but I know exactly who he is. ”

I have earned enough. Apparently, Wijihoyen didn't care much about the second or third time. Scarlet grins at the Saxony.

[It's okay if there's a second.]

[…… I mean, I feel that way about a private person…….]

[No, it's not. I think you have that feeling.]

Scarlet no longer listens and cuts off the Saxony's words. She smiles joyfully, filling her glass with wine from the jar.

“Oh, it tastes good. ”

She pours a glass of wine into her mouth, feeling a pleasant satisfaction.
