Chapter 163 – 163. Being Together Was Dirty, Let’s Never See Each Other Again

Not knowing what Jo Joon was thinking, Nick kept talking about this and that.

The snow-white jeweler, who was watching the scene, growled as he bit into a white handkerchief full of lace.

“That idiot! What are you laughing at? That means you are the enemy!!”

The snow-white jeweler was dizzy at Nick’s misstep.

I was a little angry at Nick’s behavior of not even noticing that the opponent was hiding a dagger. He couldn’t help but curse.

It was because the face of Jo Jun, who spread lies without a change in expression, was creepy. As if he was born to lie, Jo Jun was participating in the bayou jogi, reacting furiously to Nick’s words without blinking.

‘Damn it… I got totally screwed up by that stupid trickster…’

Even if the Trickster hadn’t lied about himself as a good jinyoung, Nick wouldn’t have suspected him blindly. Rather, if Bayu had just honestly told him about his class and skills, Nick would have put Bayeu and Jojun on the same line and doubted both of them.

“It’s all because of your champion! Isn’t it? Say something!”

Finally, the pure white jeweler shouted at the jeweler in charge of Meiling, who was sitting in the middle and staring blankly into the air.

“Ha…”

Meiling’s jeweler couldn’t answer.

It is because her eyes went dark from the scene where Bai Yu’s memories were erased and she became Mei Ling. She was just devastated to think that she had been beaten without help.

‘Trickster… Caught all the lies… It’s good that he came back alive, Meiling.’

This time, I had no choice but to think that my opponent was bad. Before he could show his true value as a trickster, he was drawn into Jo Joon’s pace, so the difference in ability between the two was too great.

“Heh..”

At that time, the jeweler in charge of Aim, who was watching the jeweler in charge of Nick getting angry with the jeweler in charge of Meiling, looked sideways and snorted as if it were ridiculous.

“The guys you chose.. Are both too stupid, right? I was just worried about Joon.”

“Big! It’s not stupid, it’s just a little… Pure!!”

“Damn it bitch… The guy you chose must be crazy.”

Nick and Meiling’s jeweler are angry at Jo Jun’s jeweler who is slowly scratching their nerves.

Haha! Calm down both of you. But thanks to Jo Joon’s performance, you got the ring easily.”

When Cho Joon’s jeweler mentioned the signet ring, Nick and Meiling’s jewelers looked away and fell silent. Certainly, Jo Joon was able to escape the crisis thanks to the various tools he had brought with him.

I had to admit that. It was all the more so because I saw scenes where most of the other groups failed without using their hands. If it hadn’t been for Jo Joon, he would have delayed more time.

“Whoa… That’s good. I’ll admit I’ll admit it… But maybe it’s only now that you can laugh. A drug prepared by your minions. Nick won’t drink.”

“Huh? Judging from the fact that he believes Jo Jun’s words like stone… I think he’s going to drink a lot.”

“Whoa, whoa… Nick isn’t that stupid. There’s a reason for being confident… I’m just angry that Nick looks a little less than your minion. I didn’t think he’d get helplessly beaten by a cultist or something.”

“Ohh.. Do you have any numbers?”

“Sure. Best of all, Nick achieved almost everything he wanted with little effort. He stands still and obtains the signet ring, which proves he’s better than your minions already from here on out. Even if Nick stays still, the world will step in and help him.”

“Well… The part where Jo Joon was destined to suffer… Is definitely true. Still… I like wild flowers in the meadow more than flowers in the greenhouse. Because it’s tougher… More persistent.”

“Huh.. Well, it’s just a nameless wild flower… A single rose that is managed is more valuable.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

The three puppets focused on the screen again.

They should have been happy because they had obtained the ring, but they couldn’t be happy yet.

Because the fight between Joon and Nick is not over.

******

As the pure white jeweler admitted, Nick was a flower in a greenhouse.

If Jo Joon has always been able to find a breakthrough and gain strength in a situation that has always been twisted like shit, Nick has been able to work smoothly just as the world helps him just by living and breathing.

This is because the causal law possessed by the pantheon was overwhelmingly large, but there were circumstances here.

The game currently in progress is the second round forcibly established by Botamilli’s sacrifice (foul play). It could be seen as a game that started again by replacing the champion that was being pushed back by Manmajeon.

Of course, the good gods couldn’t just watch this, and the clock hand that was turned back just before the end gave a penalty to the evil gods. In addition, it was balanced by giving a reasonable advantage to the predecessors.

Therefore, Manshinjeon was able to start the game with more resources (causality) because it dragged the last game to the brink of winning once. Conversely, Manmajeon was pushed back in many ways.

Carshinax and Indicron are working hard to die, but in the current state where one of the three gods of Manma was exiled to the underworld and all the lower deities were sealed, the excessively played game was, of course, extremely unfavorable to the evil gods.

It is a fact that you can tell just by looking at the fact that only Jo Joon belongs to Manmajeon while there are a lot of players in the Manshinjeon camp right now.

In other words, the current Manmajeon could not recklessly drive only situations that benefit their minions.

Of course, that wasn’t necessarily bad.

Nick, who has grown up without tension, was a rich but strong fool, and Jo Jun, who has been rolling a lot, has become a poor but snarky man.

After all, it is a law to know how long and short it is.

******

“Anyway, that’s why I want to put some restrictions on that bayou guy.”

“Restrictions?”

“That’s right. Restrictions. Because I can’t kill I’m thinking of feeding this… But it looks like it depends a lot on you… Can you feed me this instead? If you’re thinking of yourself as a woman, it’s probably easier to feed…”

Nick showed Jo Joon his hand without question.

He thought Jo Joon was a nobleman who came to help him this time as well. In Nick’s case, the Noble Man was a kind of Deus Ex Machina who appeared to help him in times of crisis or trouble.

Nick, who thought that the attack on the Tremor House was successfully solved with the help of such a nobleman, did not yet grasp that the aim was a dagger at the tip of his neck. Bai Yu, whom he suspected of being a cultist, even thought that his memory loss was due to his own luck.

Nick tended to rely on fate or luck to the point of being a bit excessive.

Meanwhile, Jo Joon pondered for a moment while looking at the items Nick took out. It was a clear plastic tub of wriggling caterpillars.

[Witch Parasite: When taken, the magic stat increases by 200 and all other stats decrease by 30. If the user is male, the gender changes to female. If you change gender due to a parasite, you will tire quickly and become hungry quickly. Gender is fixed as female unless the parasite is removed.]

‘The magic power increase is 200..? Hmm… But the disadvantage is too big. It’s disgusting to look at, and above all, a parasite… It’s something I have no reason to eat.’

Taking over the barrel of parasites from Nick, Joon called Meiling, who was lonely waiting in the next room for their conversation to end.

“Meiling, take this.”

“Ugh.. What is that.. Disgusting..”

“This is something that can make you a woman again. I barely got it by making a deal with Nick… With this, I can now return to my original body.”

“Uh.. But the penalty is too big…”

Mei Ling said she could be a woman, but she showed resistance to the fact that she quickly gets tired and hungry. At this, Jo Joon laughed and said.

“Don’t worry, Meiling. Because I have a way to cure it. I’m a pharmacist You just end up turning back into a woman. I’ll take care of the aftermath.”

“I, really…? Thank you, Jun..!”

Mei Ling, who believed Jo Jun to be her true ally, bowed her back and thanked Nick and Jo Jun for helping her change gender.

Nick smiled as he saw May Ling greeting him without knowing anything. Seeing Mei Ling devouring the parasite without question thanks to Jo Jun’s persuasion, he thought he had won completely.

Meanwhile, Meiling, who swallowed the wriggling parasite, retched as if she had a bad stomach. Then, she soon fell asleep. After confirming that, Jo Joon took out a glass bottle of red liquid from his bag and handed it to Nick.

“Huh? What is that?”

“Ah, this is the special fermented liquor I made. It’s some kind of elixir. It’s a gift given to you in the sense that you went through a hard time defending the entrance by yourself. I wanted to give it to you before I left. And if you really are a pantheon… I want to look good. Come on, accept it.”

“Oh..”

Nick accepted the amnestics that Aim gave him. Nick liked Joon more and more as the Asian guy, who was good at his work, even took care of the elixir. He even wanted to recruit him as his exclusive pharmacist if given the opportunity. Because in Nick’s head, Asians were an image of subordinates who were good at work.

“But what effect does this have?”

“It increases magic recovery… And is good for stamina. Especially good for men. There must be many women taking care of you.”

Joon thought. A guy like Nick must have many women under his command. That’s why he deliberately brought up a tempting stamina boost.

As Jo Joon thought, Nick had many women. He smiled contentedly as he stirred the red liquid in the vial.

“I got this precious thing..”

“Heh heh. What, with this By the way, Nick, this is… It’s still like a prototype. I’m sorry, but can you drink it now and rate it? I like it, but there are many opinions that it is too bitter. I’m thinking of earning points from other players and selling them, so please give me an evaluation. I can’t trust my taste anymore.”

“I’m cold-hearted about this again… I’ll try it first.”

Nick tipped the vial without question, trying to swallow a little more amnestics than the glass of soju it contained.

‘Done..!’

Joon swallowed and waited for Nick to swallow the amnestic wine. The moment he inhaled it, Nick was finished.

However, Nick stopped his hand for a moment as if he had remembered something just before he took a sip of the wine.

“Oh, I’m sorry about this. A colleague told me to check before eating anything. I had forgotten about it for a while, but I just remembered it.”

“What..? Check?”

“Okay. It’s not that I doubt you… I’m just doing it just in case, so I hope you don’t get too upset.”

“Uh.. Uh..?”

Joon-joon was taken aback.

Because Nick suddenly evoked his colleague’s words and poured amnestics from a glass bottle into a silver dish he had taken out of his bag.

“This item turns black if it contains poison or food that is considered dangerous to the owner…?”

The silver plate got a little cloudy.

It wasn’t poisonous, it was alcohol, so it didn’t turn completely black, but it certainly lost its light and turned dark. Erasing memories may or may not help, so the plate couldn’t decide easily.

‘What the fuck…’

At the risk of his lies being caught, cold sweat broke out on Jo Joon’s back. He hastened to make excuses.

“I think it’s because the ingredients it contains are a bit unusual…”

“Okay? Hmm.. I’m asking just in case… Jun, are you… An apostle of evil spirits?”

At Nick’s question, Jo Joon felt his heart sink. However, he didn’t show it and shook his head vigorously.

“No, you suddenly doubt me?”

“Well… It seems like I only had bayou in mind…”

“Under! Just give it back I don’t want to give you the medicine I’ve been working hard on as a gift, even when you’re suspicious. I’ve been getting the ring for a while… But you still can’t believe me…”

Joon-joon’s specialty is the red-bottom field. Jo Joon said that it was unfair that he was suspected, and he got angry. Then, Nick, who was looking at the silver plate with a worried expression, lowered his tail first. He might be a nobleman who could be made a colleague, but he thought he didn’t need to set me up for nothing.

“I’m sorry if you felt bad. That was not my intention.”

Nick apologized to Joon and drank an amnestic. Contrary to what his jeweler thought, Nick was a much hotter and more lively man. Nick, who values ​​his loyalty and trust, couldn’t refuse Jo Joon’s goodwill. Because that’s how he’s been making friends all this time. Because even if he lived like that, everything worked out.

However, this time the opponent was just a little bit worse.

“Uh… This is…”

“Hey Nick! Are you awake?”

Nick, who has lost his memory, is roughly lied to by Jo Joon, suggesting that he drink whiskey for gender conversion. Nick, who drank whiskey without knowing how to do it, became drowsy and read the book Jo Joon had put in his hand in his sleep.

Of course, if you leave the mansion, the good gods will rush in and restore Nick to his original state, but it was clear that it would cost a lot to restore him to his original state.

Also, through this experience, Nick correctly grasped who the cultist was and would grow a bit more in many ways, such as not easily trusting people, but aiming didn’t matter. Because he took the 1st win without hesitation.

“Uh, it’s refreshing. Then let’s go home.”

Joon opened the door of the mansion, taking Meiling, who had fallen asleep, and Nick, who had hardened.

In this way, Mei-ling obtained the parasite, Nick obtained the Book of Manti, and Jo-jun was able to leave the mansion with great satisfaction.

Also, Nick’s jeweler who was watching them hardened like a stone, and Jojun’s jeweler clapped and rejoiced.
