The Returner

15 The Returner (quarterly)

1. There is no place for Lee Hyuk in this operation (4)

“I'm here. ”

Ojik opened the gate and tailed Lee Yi Hyuk who was coming inside.

“You, were you here? ”

Nowadays, it was useless to hang a necklace, so Nok was on his way back and forth to the front of NDF and Lee Hyuk's house.

Jung-hoon tried to make a necklace with a chain, asking him what he would do if he got into an accident while walking around like this, but could he tie a child in chains that he couldn't handle even wirelessly?

In the end, he gained his freedom.

Lee Hyuk had nothing to worry about because he had been keeping Ojik from hurting people, but other people had to make fun of the fact that there was an ogre in front of the house.

We're all used to it now, but it still looks like this.

“Oh my.”

Lee Hyuk lifted the stain and put it on one knee.

Knng?

I had never done this before, but Lee Hyuk was being nice to me, and Ojik laughed his head off because he didn't know what was right.

“Do you want to go home? ”

Knuckles?

“I've been thinking, isn't it a little hard for you to live here? If you say you're going, I'll let you go. ”

The head of Ojik turns around.

“I'm not testing you. I'm not gonna beat you later. ”

But Ojik still desperately shakes his head.

“You don't want to go home? ”

Knng!

“Why?”

I started to sweat on the feet of a porcupine.

How can I explain something if I can't even speak?

It was impossible to convey a detailed emotion or situation, even though the seal of the dependent was imprinted and it could be somewhat communicated by the spirit.

That would be called subordinate labor, Telepathy.

“I think.... ”

He stopped listening to Lee Hyuk's words.

“You're a monster. We have monsters in our eyes. People are less objectionable because you look like this right now, so if you're walking around like you are, you're in trouble right now. Right?"

Knng.

“Wouldn't it be more enjoyable for you to live in a world where there are people who know who you are and are not surprised? ”

Knng!

“No?”

Knng!

“... Is this better? Why?”

He stared at Lee Hyuk quietly, then jumped to his feet as if there was no choice.

“Huh?"

Knng!

He jumped off Lee Hyuk's lap and nodded his head.

“Follow me?”

Knng!

“What's this for……. ”

Lee Hyuk stood up and quietly chased after the Five Tails. He leaped behind him, but he ran well.

“Where are you going? ”

As he stepped out of the outer perimeter, Ojii began to leave the Capable Person's Residence.

“Huh?"

I was going to hang around without a leash, but now I see this everywhere. Outside of the Capable Residence, Lee Hyuk also does not travel well, but there was no difficulty in walking along the road.

“I have to.”

If you think about it, the Ogre in Beraf is a creature with a realm of over 100 kPa.

No matter how small the body got, it was even weirder that it was essentially a domain animal that did not understand its realm.

‘I was too careless. ’

How lonely it must have been wandering around all alone.

Lee Hyuk thought that his position and mischief were similar.

Even now...

“Huh?"

But something unexpected was happening.

Bang, bang!

Arrival was in a park on the outskirts.

“Oh my! Mary's here. ”

“Mary! Come here! ”

Lee Hyuk opened his eyes wide to those who greeted him.

What the hell is going on?

As soon as I stepped into the park, people rushed to the porridge and began to hug and stroke.

“You're here for a snack. Here you go. ”

I ate the snacks that fell on me.

“He's a real picky eater. ”

“Maybe the owner feeds them and raises them. You don't even talk about dog treats. ”

“Sausage killer, sausage killer. ”

“ ……. ”

Hahaha.

Lee Hyuk laughed helplessly as he watched the miso of eating sausages from people.

Hey, missy.

You will come.

The people in front of you are your food in Beraf. It's Bob.

How can you lose your appetite after eating a snack!

This should be an adaptation!

“Gaaah! Cute! ”

The young women were busy filming the miscellaneous.

“But what kind of paper is this? ”

“A hybrid.”

“How cute are the hybrids? ”

“They're usually cute when they're big, but they're cute when they're little. ”

Hey, guys.

She's over 200 years old.

Lee Hyuk suppressed the feeling of fluttering and looked at the mischief.

The mist surrounded by people seemed happier.

I'll feed you, I'll feed you, I'll make you pretty, you don't want to hate me.

Those who went for a walk with the other dogs gathered together and stroked each other.

“Strange thing is, my dog hates me touching another dog, and he won't budge. You two must be getting along really well. ”

No, you don't want to die.

After being dragged by the collar, the dog approaches right in front of the litter and starts to pee.

The dogs who instinctively recognized the predators were busy looking at the snacks because they couldn't even run away.

“… what is this? ”

That son of a bitch!

I was so worried about you before, but it turns out you live like a king in this place!

I told you, if you get bored, you're gone!

Up until now, I thought I was crossing paths between NDF and home, but I wasn't.

After playing with people for a long time, Ojii walked up to Lee Hyuk.

Knng!

“Yes, I did. ”

You're better than me.

Phew.

Lee Hyuk sighed and sighed. He was a human being and had not fully adapted to the world, but was still living as a monster.

This should be a good adaptation for misi... ….

“So it's more comfortable here? ”

Knng!

“I have to……. ”

To put it bluntly, there was no need to hunt, and it was only easier for the beast to sit and eat.

It doesn't keep them locked up like a zoo.They go wherever they want.

“But don't you regret something? Do you want me to turn this area into a mountain? ”

The noodle shakes its head neatly.

“... Yes, mountains are boring. ”

It's still just a misunderstanding we can call Ogre Lord.

If you return to Beraph, you will be named a legendary Ogre, and you will be able to live under the rule of other Ogres.

“Then what? I don't have any sausage. Right?"

Knng.

“Yes, let's go home. ”

Something about what I've been doing is useless.

There was no doubt that veraph was a better fit for misogynist. It's much more natural to go back there.

But natural doesn't necessarily mean beneficial. Did the misunderstanding know it, and chose this Earth over Beraf?

“But Ogre Ghao, it's kind of hard to get snacks from people, isn't it? ”

Ogre turns his head to the other side.

“… there's no such thing. ”

There's something wrong with the beast.

I'm the owner if you feed me.

Lee Hyuk grabbed the snake on the floor and lifted it over his head.

“Let's go home. ”

Lee Hyuk went inside the house.

“Anybody? ”

No one was seen in the house today.

“I don't know what everyone's so busy doing these days. ”

Appledrice and Herkana have been having a very hard time seeing their faces lately.

And where is my mother?

“Did you go to the store? ”

After turning on the lights in the room, Lee Hyuk took out the cola in the refrigerator and poured it into a cup.

“Khh!”

I feel refreshed after a refreshing drink. How long did it take you to get a glass of this Coke?

What he is enjoying is not for free. These are things that can only be obtained after paying so much.

But sometimes I forget about it.

‘I got used to it. ’

Seeing that all of these things felt natural, it was clear that he too had adapted to the world. When I first came back to this world, I shed tears over a glass of Coke, and I was moved by the sight of ordinary clothes.

‘Getting used to it doesn't mean it's not valuable. ’

After returning to Earth, Lee Hyuk was more busy than he was living in Beraf.

Everything that has happened in Beraf has been overwhelming, but it has never been urgent, given the time of infinite. If not this time, it was the next time.

But in this world, one failure means the end of everything.

“One failure……. ”

When Lee Hyuk was staring at the cola cup quietly, the front door opened, and Mother came inside.

“When did you get here? ”

“A while ago. ”

“If you're going to be here early, I'll tell you. My mom would have come and cooked dinner first. ”

“It's food. I can cook it. ”

“But I have to feed my son who works. ”

“Then I won't be able to eat without you. It's a habit for me to cook alone. ”

Mother's eyes twitched.

“What are you talking about? ”

“… Huh? ”

“I can't believe you're eating alone! Go get married and eat a meal! ”

“Here. Married? ”

In Lee Hyuk's head, Erkana suddenly came to mind.

‘I didn't go, Mom. ’

Of course, eating normal food from Herkana was very difficult. The devil and man are not the same from the diet.

“Even if you're married, I have to cook you dinner. ”

“Leave your wife alone! Why are you cooking? ”

“... Are you going to ask Yeewon to cook for you, too? ”

“No. That's something to eat. What kind of world is the world these days, and you expect your wife to feed you? ”

“Mom, that's a weird thing to say. ”

“Shut up.”

Mother was determined.

“First, I want my children to feel comfortable. ”

I admire the love of my infinite children... Mother, but you have to treat them the same way.

“I don't want anything. ”

“Huh?"

“Now you've made enough money, and you're big enough. Now I can't wait to see you get married and have grandchildren. ”

“... You must have some time, my mother. ”

“So hurry up and get married. Why are you stalling for some rich kid anyway? Let's get married and give birth to Anna. ”

“Are you going alone? ”

My mother started beating Lee Hyuk.

“All that rolls around you are women! Woman! Is that what it means to pick something so pretty and bring it around? ”

“Oh, they……. ”

“It's usually ‘brother’ and ‘honey’. ”

Lee Hyuk started worrying with a slightly fat face.

Is it acceptable for him to be married in this world?

Then, the phone started ringing in Lee Hyuk's pocket.
