Chapter 161 – Origin (4)

“…”

“…”

Source and I were glaring at each other.
Looking at it from the front like this, I could only see the dark demonic energy swaying.
If you look at it from the side, you can see the curves that look like lips.

Anyway, that didn’t matter now.

“No.”

Do you want to express that there is no compromise?
The source said, turning his head around with his black arms crossed.

It’s just cute to see this kind of action.
I wonder if Ahyeong felt the same way while watching the spirits.

But I can’t help but think it’s cute.
This is something that must be decided in order to live with the source in the future.

“Why don’t you like it?”

“Just.”

But I can only talk, and I don’t think the conversation will ever work.
It’s been like this for at least 30 minutes now, and this is the state.

“You have to tell me what you don’t like, you can’t keep doing this, can you? I won’t say anything, so tell me honestly.”

“… I just hate it.”

“Hi-go… This…”

It just repeats itself.
It was a time no different from talking to a stone.

“Let’s just close our eyes and go. Are the spirits not that bad?”

The actions of the source of this gluttony were exactly the same as those of the lower spirits.
So what I thought was going to Ah-young.
I thought that if it was Ahyeong, who was diligently building her skills and knowledge as an elemental magician without my knowledge, she would surely be of help…

“Bad. Scary.”

I don’t want to go like this, so I smoke, but I can’t help it.

It’s the source absorbed by me anyway, so if I go, I have no choice but to follow.

As a result of testing while returning to the dormitory in the glass world, the root is automatically resummoned when it is away from the owner over a certain distance, like spirits.

But… I don’t know if they have intimacy like the spirits, but it’s clear that they will become partners in the future, but I couldn’t abandon their friendly relationship.

“If the spirits see you, do they attack you unconditionally?”

“… I don’t know, I don’t remember.”

The source lowered his head slightly sullenly.
Where on earth do you think he is the source of a mortal sin?
It’s all black, so it’s a little creepy, but what you do is so endearing.

“I see…”

But this makes things a bit difficult.

When a spirit is corrupted, it becomes an elemental spirit.
And the attitude of the Great Spirit towards the devil that I saw at that time was 100% hostile no matter where I looked.
Just looking at it, isn’t it familiar?

“Didn’t the spirits attack first?”

“Um… I don’t remember that either.”

“Ummm… Uhhh…”

But this definitely needs to be addressed.
Ahyeong is actually a spirit magician…

“Ah, that will be fine.”

Come to think of it, I am also a devil according to my tribal name.
However, the attitude of the spirits toward me was not that bad, and the same was true of the Great Spirit I had seen before.

Also, thinking about the Great Spirit, you should have recognized the source of gluttony by then…

‘No, that’s not the problem now.’

When I thought about what I was thinking, it was clear that there would be no end again.

“Let’s go for now. I’m a demon too, but I don’t attack. You must have seen the Great Spirit when you came to me.”
“… Still…”

Hesitation came from the source’s voice.
It was clear that if I took one more step forward, I would surely come over.

“I will definitely protect you if something happens.”

“Mmm…”

Possibly thinking about it, the source lowered his head slightly and sighed.

“And I’ll make you stuffed tomorrow. You’re still hungry, aren’t you?”

“… Really?”

What does a personality similar to a lower spirit mean?
That is, the resistance to desire is weak.
There’s nothing like food to tempt the source of gluttony.

“Yeah, really.”

“… Only once. And if the spirits hit me, I have to run away right away. Got it?”

“Uh, don’t worry.”

In the first place, since they were spirits led by Ayeong, they would not suddenly attack the source, and the spirits seemed to judge the good and evil of the target rather than hostile to the species.

“Then let’s start right away.”

I said, sticking out one shoulder to the source as if asking me to sit here.

∴

After sending her message to visit Ah-yeong, she arrived at the hospital where she was admitted.
And as I entered the door of her hospital room, Ah-young, who had been talking to her spirits with her eyes dyed jade, turned her gaze to me.

“Come on.”

“Yep?”

But something was strange.
Ahyeong didn’t even share the spirit’s eye with me, so why did the spirits start to appear?

“Hey, hey. I made eye contact with my monster oppa.”

“Pai, calm down a little. It must be because of my mood.”

“No, look. Can’t you see we’re still making eye contact?”

“Does it really look like…?”

And while I couldn’t see them, the spirits, who had grown in size as if they had grown considerably, began to whisper when they saw me.

“Huh? Siwoo, can you see them?”

“Uh, you say you’ve met my eyes now… What did you do to me?”

At my words, Ah-yeong widened her eyes and slightly opened her mouth.

“What! Brother, maybe…?”

And the fire spirit, Pie, who was flying toward me as if to welcome me, saw the source sitting on my shoulder and stopped.

“…”

Then, the source stepped on my shoulder, grabbed my neck, and hid behind me.

“I don’t think it’s a spirit… Who is it?”

“Oh he is…”

And I started explaining.
Cutting out the parts that don’t need to be said.

“So I came to see if I could get some advice.”

“Um… I get it. So what are you curious about?”

Ah-young asked her me and I used her whole tone to her.

-First of all, I’m curious about how the spirits treat Sowon.

Of course, it was something that could not be said to the spirits.
He could have listened to me and taken an artificial action.

-Aha, but isn’t that a bad reaction?

– For example, what kind of reaction is it?

– Just curious? I think it’s just that tidy.

Ayeong looked at her spirits and said.
Unfortunately, she can’t feel the feelings of her spirits the way her spirits feel the feelings of her contractor, but she seems to be able to notice them to some degree, given that she’s been attached to them for so long.

The spirits kept a certain distance and glanced at Soui.

“How did you raise the spirits?”

“Umm… First of all, the most important thing is intimacy.”

Of course I knew that too.
People who used to play academy heroes as elemental magicians posted whenever intimacy with spirits fell.

And Ayoung’s explanation began.

Raise satiety as a substitute for intimacy.
Maintain friendly relations
Engage in combat as often as possible.

Don’t accept taking too much.
When you scold, be strict.
And even if you get scolded, you should treat them kindly again.
Also, instead of lavishing praise, keep a reasonable line so as not to be conceited.

From the middle, it seems to have become an education method rather than a nurturing method, but I did not miss each one and listened carefully.

“I think it will be roughly like this.”

After finishing her explanation, Ah-yeong spoke to me.

“Yeah, thank you.”

Thanks to you, I realized many things.
The most important of these is that I think Ah-young will be a good mother.

‘I want to make her a mother… Hmmmm…’

I forcibly cut off the strange stream of consciousness.

“But why are the spirits visible?”

It’s a question I’ve had before.

If you think about the cause, there was nothing other than getting the source of gluttony.

But I didn’t see it until yesterday.

“Oh, I asked you to stay out for a while yesterday.”

It was a surprisingly simple reason.

“Why?”

As she wondered what reason she had to ask her spirits to step aside when she was just visiting the hospital, Ayeong blushed and slightly avoided her gaze.

“That, that’s because I haven’t been able to for a while…”

“Ah…”

Seeing Ayoung’s reaction, I realized.
Ayoung was piled up.

“Well, it isn’t…”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and there was an odd silence.
The spirits of Ayoung tilted her head as if wondering, and the source hiding behind my neck patted her neck as if to hurry back.

“You are still sick.”

Sex on the patient’s bed.
Just imagining it, I could feel my lower leg getting hot, but it wasn’t me who was lying on the bed, it was Ah-young.

“When you are discharged later. Then, you know?”

“Huh…”

With her face blushing, Ayoung nodded her head slightly.

“Why is your sister like that?”

“Pai, there are circumstances only for adults.”

Ayeong’s face grew redder at the conversation between Pie and Mist.

“Hey you.”

Suddenly, Wendy, who had been quiet, stepped forward.
At the same time, everyone’s eyes turned to Wendy.

“…I’m Wendy, what’s your name?”

Then Wendy, who proudly crossed her arms, asked.
Who did you ask, it was the source.

“Aww…”

The source, unable to even answer Wendy’s words, pinched my neck.
Is it a signal to go home, or is it just because she’s scared?

“Why don’t you answer me? What is your name?”

“… Doesn’t exist.”

Still, she couldn’t avoid answering, but the source reluctantly opened her mouth.
Come to think of it, the name was also settled.
Ah-young glared at me as if asking if I had forgotten that.

“Okay?”

Hearing her source’s answer, Wendy raised the corner of her mouth.
Are you ignoring me for not having a name?
According to Ayoung, she doesn’t think Wendy, a sweet tsundere, would, but if my concerns were correct, she figured she’d give me one of the 10 names I had in mind for my future daughters.

“Then is it okay if I build it for you?”

But contrary to my worries, it seemed to have good intentions.

“Name?”

“Huh.”

Source looked up at me.
Of course, I couldn’t see the expression because I didn’t have a face, but I wonder if I’m asking permission.

“Do you think it will be good?”

I wanted to build it myself, but I readily agreed to it, thinking that it would be nice to take this opportunity to reduce my fear of the unknown cause of the spirits.

“Then I get it. I’ll give you permission.”

“Joy. I’ll give you permission. Not thank you I should say.”

Wendy sticking out and stretching her breasts, and Source giving no answer.
There was a slightly awkward atmosphere, but Wendy opened her mouth again as if she wouldn’t mind.

“Kim Jun-seo and Kim Hye-won. Which of the two would you like?”

As Wendy asked her source, Ayoung widened her eyes in surprise.
Feeling something unusual, I immediately asked Wendy.

“What does that mean?”

“Brother, didn’t you know? Kim Jun-seo’s son’s name. Kim Hye-won is the daughter…!”

“Wendy!”

“No!”

“Stop…!”

And just as Wendy was about to answer my question, Pie, Mist, and Grun, who were standing behind Wendy, flew in and covered her mouth.

For a while, I felt doubtful.

“Guys…? How did you know that?”

Ahyeong asked her spirits with a devastated expression.

“That, that is…”

“Nuna, isn’t it time to go to sleep?”

Mist spoke and Pie tried to divert her words.
Grun just stayed calm, covering Wendy’s mouth, but she seemed a little nervous, her hands trembling slightly.

“How did you know.”

But Ayoung didn’t seem to want to just let it go.

“That, that…”

“Pai asked me to read my sister’s diary.”

Grun interrupted the moment Pi struggled to tell her, and was the first to tell.

“Grune…! You guys saw it too! Is not it?”

“No, I wouldn’t have seen it if Pi hadn’t asked to see it.”

Relentless tail cutting.
Even Mist, who has a gentle personality, cut off the pie mercilessly.

“… Siwoo, see you later, I think I need to talk to the kids today.”

“Oh, yes, yes. See you later.”

After praying for the spirits to rest, I left Ayeong’s hospital room.

“Hyewon Kim…”

And did you really like the name?

“So, Dad?”

It seemed that it should still be called the Source.
