“I don't think he made it out. ”

That was like a sentence.

Because Yong-yong was a hotch who trusted Yong-yong more than anyone else, I could quickly accept the meaning contained in that speech.

And soon I wanted to deny it.

“… Yong Yong, can you check again? ”

Yong-yong once again checked the words of Hoch and shook his head.

When watching novels and dramas, there were mostly clichés that appeared.

One of them was an incurable disease of character.

Every time a doctor says something about a man who faints and faints and people around him show up,

Hotch thought.

When the same thing happens to you, will you be shocked and sad like that?

It was always a question.

No one in Hotch's family died of illness.

I didn't think it would be dangerous by any accident, even if it wasn't a disease.

Lee Ho-jae always said dangerous things about going out and turning the vaccine upside down.

Nevertheless, Hodge did not worry about Lee Ho-jae.

For Hotch, Lee Ho-jae was pure.

No matter what happened, he believed he would get through it.

It was not much different from the vague fantasy that a child had of a parent.

For Hotch, the anxiety that his family could die or disappear was an unrealistic story that would appear in novels or dramas.

So Hotch couldn't convince dragon's words.

I endured the tightening of my chest, and waited for the next word of dragon.

“It's not where I was supposed to send it, it just flew away. ”

“Can we go save him? ”

Being unable to escape in time from the underworld could be interpreted as not being able to do so for Lee Ho-jae.

If not, the enemy may have finally caught hold of Lee Ho-jae's crotch.

After all, it was a different result than expected for Lee Ho-jae and Yong.

As a Hotch, I had no doubt that Lee Ho-jae was defeated by the enemy and forced into the enemy's desired location.

“I can't keep up... …. ”

“Why?”

Hotch asked with a sharp voice.

“I don't know where it went. I completely missed the trail.... ”

Like Hotch, Yong-yong, who was moistened by anxiety and worry, muttered.

Hotch finally sat down, feeling his strength loosening.

* * *

It's been three days since Lee Ho-jae disappeared.

Hotch was still hanging around the shore, waiting for Lee Ho-jae to return.

Yong went to sleep trying to find the coordinates of where Lee Ho-jae had been moved for several days.

“Why don't you go back to Korea? ”

Lee Jun-seok asked.

Hotch shakes his head.

I have already been to Korea's accommodation once.

Hotch was going to wait for Lee Ho-jae to return from here.

Lee Jun-seok sat down next to Hotch, mouthing off about what he was going to say.

“It's okay.”

“Yes?”

“I'm fine.”

Hotch picks up a piece of rock rolling around the floor and mutters.

I met my inspiration and grandmother in Seoul.

When they heard the situation, they laughed carelessly.

They said Lee Ho-jae will come back on his own.

Rather, he grumbled at Lee Ho-jae who disappeared without contacting him.

Hotch was furious with both of them about how not to worry, but he couldn't shoot anything more when he dried himself up that even dragons didn't have to worry too much.

Yong was embarrassed that Lee Ho-jae had suddenly disappeared and blamed himself for missing the trail, but he didn't think Lee Ho-jae would be seriously dangerous.

In the end, it was only Hotch who was worried that Lee Ho-jae might be in danger.

“I didn't say anything. ”

Lee Jun-seok said.

Hotch ignored that.

Hotch was disappointed that no one but himself cared about Lee Ho-jae.

Maybe he thinks that because he is the weakest and doesn't know much about the power of Lee Ho-jae.

It might just be a commotion, and I thought so too.

But what can I do to worry?

I've heard the story about going back to my place and resting.

However, when I tried to lie down on the couch, I didn't feel like resting because my mind was complicated.

I tried to look at the novel, but it didn't catch my eye, and I couldn't eat anything.

It was easiest to just wait here.

“Hey!"

Someone comes to talk to you with a banging on the glass wall.

It was Japanese.

“There she is again. ”

“Did you set me up? ”

“Yes.”

If you leave it unchecked, it will come closer and bother you by asking questions.

It was better to block access in this way because several people came together as soon as one person was blown away.

Three days ago, the waves on Japan's east coast ended.

At the end of the wave, the personality, the black hemisphere, and Humans had a lot of questions.

The area is controlled by the Japanese government and the Awakening Society, but reporters are on the move soon.

The Japanese government expressed its gratitude to Hoch's group and was considering whether they could recruit them to Japan at the same time.

The group tries to invite you to Tokyo several times, but the group does not leave the coast.

Hodge didn't know what other individual hopes and intentions there were.

But whatever it was, Hotch didn't care.

“Hey, have you thought about that? ”

Lee Jun-seok asked.

Hotch didn't know what Joon-suk was asking about, so he had to ask again.

“What?”

“I don't know what I'm going to do for a living. You said you'd think about it in Japan. ”

Of course, I also know that Lee Jun-seok didn't have a situation like that.

I wanted a depressing Hotch to think differently.

Hotch scratches his head.

There were several options.

Kim Min-hyuk formally recommended that I be Awakened.

But after experiencing it in Japan, I thought it was wrong.

First of all, Hotch himself was not interested in Humans, and he was also annoyed by Humans.

Saving and helping someone would be a good thing, but that was it.

Above all, Hotch had no idea what he wanted to do while doing something dangerous.

Lee Ho-jae asked if he could have a job related to books.

I didn't think so either.

Of course, I liked to read, but I didn't want to pursue my hobbies.

Novels were a kind of escape for Hotch.

For Hotch, born and raised on the 60th floor of the narrow world, the stories in the novel allowed him to experience the new world indirectly.

That was exactly what it meant.

“H-how about a dungeon? ”

“Dungeon?”

Lee Ho-jae once said, "Why don't you take care of the dungeon?"

The reason I came to Japan now was because of the condition of handing over the dungeon recovered from the finishers.

But that too…….

“I don't know.”

In fact, I was full of thoughts about what to do until I came to Japan.

But after coming to Japan and going through all this, I didn't have time to think about it.

And I was just wondering if it really mattered now that I'm waiting for Lee Ho-jae.

“Are you going to continue Awakening? ”

“I have to keep going. Now that I have my item back to Hoyt...! ”

“What if I get it? ”

“I'm so excited. And of course, we still have enough power, but the other problem is that we can use our abilities freely. ”

And Lee Jun-seok started talking about himself.

Seeing him speak with a sparkle in his eyes, he may have wanted to talk about this earlier.

“When I first came to Earth, I was a fool. After all, it's a power I can't wield, so why are you so obsessed with it? for almost a decade. And I was just being Awakened by my ability, and I was able to regain my old ability! ”

This is exciting.

Hotch thought to himself,

“It won't be hard on Earth anymore, but if I follow my fox brother around, I'll need my strength, too. Oh, and Hojay's brother is giving me that training too... ”

Seeing Joon-suk speaking excitedly, Hotch kicked his tongue.

This guy was crazy, too.

Why do I want to find hell on my feet?

You look fine on the outside.

Hotch listened to Lee Jun-seok for a long time and bowed his head.

Inside the gathering bin on his neck, he was looking up at Hotch and Lee Jun-seok with an interesting face for the wart sitting on the miniature couch.

“Is there anything else you want to do? ”

“I want to eat more. ”

“What?”

“… things? ”

The wart rolled his eyes and said.

I knew exactly what I wanted to eat without asking.

You want to eat anything that moves.

It would be better if you had the strength.

“Is there anything you want other than to eat? ”

“N-nothing. ”

Lee Ho-jae once explained the hypothesis about the completer.

The completion was the hypothesis that instead of the monster eating and eating and fulfilling the desires somewhat and finding the reason of the past, there was a new reason for the desire that had been around for a long time.

Hotch thought the hypothesis might be true.

“Do you really want nothing but food? ”

“Yes!”

“... Then you won't mind being locked up like this if you eat well? ”

“Of course! My master puts food in here every day. ”

There is a strange mix of words.

“My Lord?"

“용용이님! ”

Hotch thought about loosening the Gathering Bin from his neck and drowning this greedy, stupid monster in the sea.

I stopped thinking about it.

용용이 must have been sad.

Instead, I wrapped my hands around my face and thought,

"Why is everyone around me a bunch of idiots? ’

“Nice sunset. ”

Lee Jun-seok turned to the west and said.

The wart heard the word and accepted it.

“It's almost supper time. ”

“Yes, it's beautiful. It'd be better if the sun was setting on the ocean. ”

Hoch, who ignored what the wart said, said.

It was getting late on the third day of waiting for Lee Ho-jae.

* * *

The blazing fire has finally caught up.

I didn't control the flow very well, but that fake, dying, is finally unconscious.

I gathered my strength with my bare hands.

The flames that had spread around me gathered toward my grasp, and only then did I start to see the surrounding landscape.

Planets that had become the backdrop of the underworld were no longer in shape.

It was a force that literally shattered the planet for a short time, but the power gathered in my hands was still more than anything else.

No matter how powerful the destruction and firepower may be, unwilling physical force cannot hurt God.

The artificial being who wielded the divine power has lost consciousness.

It was also not difficult to draw power out of control into my underwater.

The god of hope drove his power and attacked me, but the limit was clear.

If being here had been a god of hope, I would never have gone against this power.

It was the limit of those who did not rise in stature.

[What are you going to do with that?]

Ceresia said it was a fake unconscious.

I thought about it for a while.

“Let's leave it at that. ”

so that the heat around them burns away.

If I ate it carelessly, I could lose weight, and now I didn't even want to experiment with it.

I just wanted him to have what he wanted.

Yong felt that the space itself closed.

Looks like he's trying to blow it up somewhere else.

Hmm…….

[Aren't you going out?]

“Yes, I'm not going out. ”

The castle was not enough to go on like this.

I called upon the god of the thorax, who is still crying out in me.

“The god of the heart. ”

[Please…….]

[Please listen to my request. Please set me free...]

Now, the ritual was relentlessly begging for less than a piece of biscuit.

“Yes, I accept your request. ”

[… is it true?]

[Then the God of Hope will come... on our behalf...] Release me...]

Represent us.

It was awkward to think that the god of hope, who belonged to the vaccine, and the god of completion, who belonged nowhere else, were bound with the word "we."

“Yes, but we have a problem. The God of Hope is a little busy. ”

[No way... No way... God of hope would not abandon me...]

I ignored the disgraceful god of terror and asked what I wanted to ask.

“Speaking of which, I'm going to have to find him myself. You know where God of Hope is, don't you? The coordinates.”

[I know……]

Easy guy.

Now I was able to easily cheat.

It has been rewarding to diligently digest the consciousness of the god of the thorax.

The god of the impersonation, who had been unable to give out important information even when he was first eaten, has now begun to spit out the most important information he knows.

[Do you intend to attack directly?]

Of course I was going to attack.

It has been confirmed from the moment the god of the thorax was first fed to me that I can find the location or information of the god of hope or its shivers.

The god of hope was also trying to make an urgent decision to know that.

If you give it time, the enemy will attack again.

I wanted to finish it as soon as possible.

[I'm almost exhausted. Why don't you connect the 60th floor to Earth and postpone it after it's been replenished?]

“It's okay. The god of hope is more than that. ”

A god of hope who pushed all his power to a fake and fled.

I don't know how long it's been, but it won't be great.

“And you have this power. ”

The power that is still gathering in my hands.

The god of hope poured out his power, amplified it several times over, and then handed it over to a fake.

In the end, there is this power that has been spilled by a fake who can't even write it down.

I don't know how vast the sanctuary of the god of hope is, or how many.

If it stayed, it wouldn't be too short.
