The Returner

Come on, it's been a long time.

- Who is it?

- That's a professional, to be honest. No, not professional enough.

- Is that who I think it is?

Appeldrich smiles slightly at the posts in the chat window.

- Who are you, a real person?

- It's not human, to be honest. No, a monkey wouldn't do that either.

- Do you play with your tongue?

Bloop.

Lee Hyuk wiped the moisture off the edge of his eyes by looking at the posts on the chat window.

“I can't believe the treatment is so different.... ”

Even in a world where the field of gaming is all that matters, even lizards are defeated, not humans.

Does this make any sense?

Appeldrich turns his head slightly and looks at Lee Hyuk, then turns his head to the other side and smiles.

Bitch!

Are you laughing at me? Are you laughing at me?

How dare a degraded lizard...

Oh, he's a little superior, isn't he?

Compared to dragons and humans, humans are inferior.

Damn, they're obese lizards!

Lee Hyuk sighed as he pressed the defeat button.

I can't do this anymore. I lose for a day or two, but I keep losing...

Yeah? Yeah.

Oh, yeah?

Wait…….

I have the solution to everything, don't I?

“Lizards.”

“Yes?”

“I have something to say. ”

After pressing the win button neatly and turning around, the appendage looked at Lee Hyuk with a soft smile.

“Speak up, anytime. ”

Lee Hyuk glanced at the appendage with a subtle expression and took a hard look at his lips.

“Me, me! ”

“Hmm?"

Lee Hyuk's humiliation was mixed and he shouted.

“Crab, teach the game! ”

You tilt your head as if you were surprised by the appendage.

That ego, Lee Hyuk, is asking himself for the first time....

That's the game?

“Does gaming have a very special meaning for humans? ”

“Ta, not really. ”

“But that request.... ”

The appendage rubs its lips and gives you a nod.

“Well, okay. I don't like that the first request is just this, but I can do it, so I'll do it as much as I want. ”

“Apeldiche!”

Lee Hyuk's eyes were moved.

I did.

Thousands of years they've been fighting each other with swords!

It was only after a thousand years that they finally broke the first step of unity.

I thought so.

… at least at this time.

“Turn around! You don't know what I mean? ”

“... I'm doing it. ”

“Is there something wrong with the cochlear? Is there a problem with the way the brain interprets auditory signals? ”

“ ……. ”

What is it?

This is not what I wanted...

“Avoid, not confront! Avoid! Why fight an enemy stronger than yourself? Rats can run away when they see cats.What kind of guts are you fighting for? Where does that confidence come from? At least if you're human, or if you're a creature, don't you have the instinct to know your opponent and your strengths? ”

Oh, wow.

She talks a lot.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Does it come from nature?

“Falling back is a man's shame! ”

“You've been hiding in corners for centuries and you're good at saying that. ”

“I haven't. ”

I tried to remember a little, but Lee Hyuk desperately denied it.

No, you devil! I've never done that!

“Run like you always do! Run like a rat crawling through a gutter! If you see an enemy you can't win, you have to run. Why fight? Why?”

Hey, hey, hey!

Then why did you stop me at the last minute?

No conscience?

And a crawling rat!

“My, when did I do that! ”

“Human memory is very inaccurate and unreliable, but at least Ji Hyuk's memory while in Beraf was one of absolute and complete things. Did you forget everything at the moment the fixation was lifted? You don't have to ask me. You have to ask your brain again. ”

“… bitch. ”

Lee Hyuk shed tears.

I just wanted to learn the game once, why do I have to go through this?

“Think of the sequence and use the skills! If you're going to play the piano with your fingers without thinking, why play the game? I'll play the piano! Huh? Now it turns out there was a problem with your finger, not your brain? That finger doesn't move very well, does it? Do you want me to get it moving? Talk to me! I can heal you anytime! ”

What's wrong with him?

I'm scared...

“I'll stop learning. ”

I was wrong!

Driving and gaming are not learning from acquaintances!

Lee Hyuk felt like a novice wife who learns to drive from her husband.

Driving... No, I heard you have to learn the game to know who you are. That's the kind of person you are!

I've been fooled!

“Stop learning! You should at least do it as a monkey! Aren't you gonna straighten the mouse? ”

“W-well, stop it! ”

Lee Hyuk pulled his head away from the afeldrice, who was spewing fire out of his mouth immediately.

It's his dragon.

Come up with a real Bress.

“No matter what kind of person you are! You have to do it as a normal person! Don't you have any pride?"

“So I tried to learn... ”

“Shut up!”

Lee Hyuk covered his face.

I…….

It's the ruin of Beraf....

He who has the immortal soul....

Ninety-ninth Demon King.

But what does it look like?

“Ha, life……. ”

Who knew my life would come.

“I……. ”

Jung-hoon Choi, who was unable to find a place to intervene while argue with the appendage, slowly called Lee Hyuk.

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk looked at Jung-hoon and tilted his head.

What's that in your hand?

Dictionary, large dictionary?

“The negotiations are briefly over. ”

Negotiate?

“Negotiation with the United States. ”

“Huh?"

Was there such a thing?

When Lee Hyuk showed interest, Choi Jeong-hoon placed it on Lee Hyuk's desk, which should be called a collection of documents in his hand, or a collection of documents.

“What is this? ”

“These are the conditions that were completed today. ”

“ ……. ”

This is it?

This is a condition?

How much detail, how much detail, how much detail a bunch of paperwork can do in a dictionary.

Lee Hyuk tilted his head while going through the documents.

“Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“I think it's just a diplomatic paper. Do I get anything? ”

“Of course there is. ”

After that, Choi Jung-hoon turns around and heads back to his desk.

We don't have to go there. We have to talk here.

But what is that?

Choi Jung-hoon's hand heard a bunch of documents that seemed to be twice the thickness as before.

“Really?"

Thung!

Hold on! Don't let the paperwork get out of hand!

You can't do that humanely!

“These are the conditions related to Lee Ji-hyuk! ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the document with a dejected face and looked up at Choi Jung-hoon.

When I saw Choi Jung-hoon smiling with a confident face, I just laughed.

I raised a tiger cub.

“So, um... ”

Lee Hyuk started handing over the documents.

“What is this free pass to Las Vegas Casino? ”

“Literally. ”

“Does the casino also charge admission fees? ”

Choi Jung-hoon grinned.

“Of course, but the casino we're talking about here is a hidden hideaway. Here is another document referring to the actual meaning of the slang written on the document... ”

“Stop it…. ”

I shaken my head with a face that I don't want to see Lee Hyuk anymore.

If you add more documents here, you'll want to burn them.

“... Do you even know what an electronic document is? ”

“Of course, there are electronic documents. But it's a principle that we do it on paper. ”

“Well, everything's fine. ”

Lee Hyuk pushed the paperwork and said.

“I understood the conditions roughly, and once the conditions were large, detailed, efficient, and unnecessary details. So…. ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders and said.

“What should I do? ”

“Of course, it's an eradication of the monsters that are turning America upside down. ”

“Beast repellent.... ”

Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.

Horses are so easy, but don't you remember what Lee Hyuk looked like fighting a zombie dragon?

The conditions are good, and everything is good.

He even asked me to accept the conditions with Lee Hyuk's mouth, but I was reluctant.

“Well, I don't really want to go.... ”

Choi Jung-hoon was not embarrassed by Lee Hyuk's harsh tone.

Then I approached Lee Hyuk with a soft smile.

“Huh? What's wrong? ”

Lee Hyuk felt ominous at the smile, but Choi Jung-hoon indifferently approached and reached out his smartphone.

“Let's see.”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head when he saw the screen of Choi Jung-hoon's phone.

“A map?”

“Yes, a map. Monsters in the United States are located right here. ”

“Yes.”

“Yesterday it was here. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes narrowed subtly.

“And now it's here. ”

Following the three points in a row, you can see the direction of progress.

“This can't be.... ”

“Do you understand?”

“I don't know.”

Lee Hyuk scratched his ear and whistled with his mouth.

“What are you talking about? What's this about?”

“... This is a flat map, so you won't notice it, but this is the direct route to Seoul. ”

“It's not going in the right direction. ”

“The original map is the spread out of the spherical earth on top of the plane, so if you look here, there is a difference in direction, but it's actually coming to Korea. ”

“He's not coming this way. ”

Choi Jung-hoon turned off the smartphone screen.

There is a foolish way....

“Lee Ji-hyuk, forget what you just saw. ”

“Yes.”

“Let me explain again. Monsters from the United States are coming to Korea now. ”

“Oh... really? ”

Don't get me right now!

Something went wrong, but I feel bad!

Choi Jung-hoon sighed and said.

“At this rate, we'll cross the Pacific across San Francisco, crush Japan and head straight for the Korean Peninsula. ”

“Wait, there are too many intermediate stops for a straight line. What a subtle accomplishment! ”

“… sharp. ”

Choi Jung-hoon cleared his throat.

“Besides, could it be a coincidence that the paths overlap? ”

“There's no way. ”

“Huh?"

“Other monsters started heading this way, too. ”

“Huh?”

“In fact, the dragon that you killed last time rushed to Korea, right? ”

“Did you put honey on it.... ”

“I don't know why, but all the monsters that have appeared this time are rushing towards the Korean Peninsula. As soon as they go out to sea, we lose our negotiators. It's basic to break our backs to defend ourselves. ”

“I suppose so.”

“So it's best to go beat them up and get what you can before they leave American soil! ”

“Indeed. But……. ”

“Yes!”

“Don't think for a second that I can get beat up if I want to! ”

I'm a human being, and I'm trying to use it like I'm some kind of cheeky bitch!

“If Lee Ji-hyuk can't catch it, no one can. ”

“Ha……. ”

Lee Hyuk slumped down on the chair and thought.

I think we need a plan. ’

“It's easy in America. ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head in the words of the appendage.

“It's not easy, and America is easy? ”

What do you mean, it's not?

In Lee Hyuk's question, the appendage only smiled lightly.
