Chapter 122 – Return #2

The first thing I felt when I woke up was pain.

“Keugh…!”

A great outburst spreads.
It feels like being stabbed through the body with an awl. It seems that something is wrong with the body.
I frowned and tried to raise my upper body as the pain subsided, but I held back at Marcella’s voice.

“Demon King, it’s okay if you don’t move.”

“I get it.”

The feeling of returning to reality from the fantasy world was empty and devastated.
YuRia will feel the same when she wakes up.
No, you will feel even more discouraged than me. It will feel as if your hometown has disappeared.
I need to take good care of you.
Anyway, I haven’t seen Marcella in a really long time.
Seeing her examining every corner of her body, she burst into laughter.

“How are you?”

“Not very good. The damage done to the demon king’s jade body on the 1st day has continued to this day. Even on the 6th day, there was a lot of damage to the neck.”

Day 1 car? What damage was done to me on the first day?
As I rolled my head, I spat out an exclamation of ah…
In a dream, there was a time when Yuria’s attack, which had become mighty, was suppressed with force.
My body in reality is not as strong as in the dream, so it seems that blocking arrow attacks has put a strain on my body.
It was definitely destructive. It’s understandable that he suffered a lot of damage.

On the 6th, right before YuRia fell, she took her dagger and stabbed it in her throat to check her heart. I understand this too.

“Is it dangerous?”

“You can receive treatment from a medical device. It will take about two hours.”

Two hours on a medical device made by Marcella? Her damage must be too great.
I turned her head and looked at YuRia lying next to me.
There was a change in Yuria’s body in her reality.
Her vulva enlarged, and her body shape and hair color changed to that of her dream kin.
She was proof that the fact that she kept imprinting it as reality had worked.

“When will YuRia wake up?”

“She will wake up in a day or so.”

“Why are you so late?”

“Mrs. Yuria felt a huge change in her emotions. No matter how mentally strong she is, she needs time to sort through those feelings. If it were a normal human, her mind would have been completely destroyed… But she endured because she was Yuria-sama.”

In her dream, she finished organizing, but the reality seems to be different.
Marcella said that, so you must be right.
I silently nodded her head, says Marcella.

“Congratulations, Demon King. Finally, the second Beast Slayer…”

“Okay. Thanks to you.”

Come to think of it, she bought her house in Busan for Marcella.
She’ll have to go and give her love sooner or later.
You have to do what you want. Because he deserves it
Marcella bowed her head, shy of my loving gaze.

“I ordered her men to bring her medical equipment. She needs to go in right away and be treated.”

“I get it.”

Wood deok! Awesome!

After all the damage to my body was healed after a tedious wait, I got out of the machine and went into the room, bending my joints.
There, Yuria, with all electrodes and VR devices removed, was soundly asleep.

It takes about a day to wake up… In the meantime, I need to see Sehwa.
What did you do during the week without me? I told you not to make an accident… You must have been harassing monsters while acting as a regent at the base, right?
I came out of the room quietly and called Sehwa on my cell phone.

A beep goes through for a while,

-Jihyeok!

Sehwa received a call.
Seeing that he still has a lively voice, he seems to be doing well.
Seeing that he doesn’t say master, he must be out now.

“Where are you?”

-I’m meeting my classmates on Handae Street. Are you done?

“It’s over.”

-Then will you come here?

“No.”

– Why!

A giggling sound could be heard over the speaker of the cell phone at Sehwa’s charmed angel.
The motives are splitting up.
However, when I saw him acting cute in front of his classmates, it must have been revealed that we were dating.
Well, it doesn’t matter now.
Anyway, I’m glad you seem to be okay.

“Annoying. Have fun and see you at the officetel in the evening.”

-Okay…

After telling Saehwa, who was sullen, that I love her, I summoned several monsters and ordered them to protect YuRia.
After that, I went outside and stretched.
It was raining outside.
Feeling good about the very gloomy atmosphere, I got out and started the car.
Then I called Dr.

– Song, why?

“Where are you?”

-It’s a lab. You?

“I want to go to the lab too.”

– What are you trying to do here?

“I’m just bored.”

-OK got it. I’ll be waiting.

People are very honest.
No matter how hard you try to hide it, your gestures, eyes, or tone of voice reveal the feelings the person has.
Same goes for Dr. In the past, I would have said ‘I think so’ in a cold tone, but now I will be waiting with a soft tone.
It’s not a huge change. But it is satisfactory

“It takes an hour. I’ll be right there.”

-Come carefully.

“Yes.”

I hung up the phone and smiled.
I feel so comfortable. Comfortable

Pushi…

The large explosion-proof doors opened to the left and right.
When I went inside, I noticed the fragrant smell wafting through the entire laboratory.
The smell of air freshener in this place where there was only the smell of machinery. It smelled as strong as if it had just been opened.
It seems the doctor is paying close attention.
As before, she was developing equipment at the research station.

“I’m here?”

It was the question of the doctor who turned the chair and looked at me.
I approached her with a smile and asked.

“Yes. What were you doing?”

“I just… Had nothing to do, so I was working on the machine.”

I sat down on the chair next to her and shook my shoulders from side to side.
I was still feeling a bit stiff.

“Where are you uncomfortable? What’s the matter?”

“I just lay down for a while and it was sore. Come to think of it, no monsters appeared for over a week.”

“Right. Even F-rank monsters didn’t appear. Very quiet However…”

“Yes, we must be vigilant.”

“It should be, but I’m worried that some countries seem to be a little lazy. It’s awkward to install air-raid shelters. They say it costs a lot of money or something… They say they won’t even accept support from the World Union.”

Tsutsui… It’s only been a week of peace, but I’m going to have a good time.
Insecurity is a global problem.
The pitiful things… Come on, I have to rule.
As I was silently nodding my head, the doctor let out a sigh.

“Why is Tairat quiet? I don’t understand.”

Why? It’s because I haven’t found Aether yet.
Since you don’t know what’s going to happen, you’re trying to be prepared for everything by saving even the little ones.

“Well… I wonder if it’s preparing to explode in one shot.”

“Would you please stop saying something scary? Just thinking about it is terrifying. And you… Has something changed?”

“What?”

“Should I say that I’ve relaxed a bit…? Did something good happen?”

There was That’s a very good thing.
Shrugging my shoulders, I smiled slyly.

“I do not know.”

“It’s bland… But what did you do for a week so you didn’t contact me? Same with Sehwa… So with Yuria… Even with the two of them, you stop by the lab at least once every three days unless there’s something special going on.”

“You seem bored?”

“I wasn’t bored, I was curious.”

It’s a bummer that I was curious about a topic that shows that I’m sad.
You should have contacted me first.
Didn’t the pride allow the little ones to do that?

“I should have paid attention… I’m sorry.”

“What… I was just curious?”

A visibly disconcerted doctor.
I thought so and looked at the machine the doctor was making.

“What is that?”

“Oh, this… I was trying to make a small unmanned transport that could be recharged when supplies ran out during battle.”

It’s a consumables transport… I don’t need it anymore, but you’re doing something stupid.
Waste of money is bad It’s not that it’s taking a toll on my wealth, though.
Anyway, the doctor’s heart for humanity is so noble.
Such a sense of justice for a subject who is not even a beast slayer. I want to corrupt it quickly.

“It looks a bit like that because you work so hard. Watch an opera or something from time to time.”

“I don’t like opera…”

“Okay? You just came to like that…”

The doctor laughed and slapped me on the arm.
She turns her gaze to the study table and asks.

“What do I look like?”

I guess you are curious about my evaluation.
I deliberately stared at the doctor’s face.
To the point where she felt a little uncomfortable.
After a while, the doctor coughed and coughed.
The gaze seems to be concerned.
I can answer now

“You look intelligent.”

“Um… Is that the end?”

“I want to say more, but I’m afraid that Sehwa will scold me.”

The phrase “I’m afraid I’ll get scolded by Sehwa…” Is a vague expression of wanting to praise you.
The doctor correctly understood the meaning of my words and was taken aback.
I jumped before the doctor said anything.

“Would you like something to eat? I have nothing to do today.”

“That… Sehwa?”

“They say they are meeting their classmates. College motives.”

“Okay…? Then… Let’s go. I saw it a few days ago and it was delicious. Will you trust me for once? You won’t regret it.”

“Doctor always believes.”

After I finished speaking, I got up from my seat, and the doctor also got up and grabbed his handbag.
Taking off her glasses, she frowned and looked around.
I took the glasses cleaner from the research bench and handed it to the doctor.

“Are you looking for this?”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

“You just have to look for it and take it off. What is taking off and looking for? I heard that even the doctor has his flaws…”

The doctor who chewed my words refreshingly wiped off my glasses and put them on.

“Shall we go?”

“Yes.”

So we left the lab and headed to the restaurant the doctor had seen.
Close to the laboratory. It was a restaurant that mainly served western cuisine.
It’s not up to the point where it won a star in a famous restaurant magazine, but it’s still quite expensive.
We were allotted decent seats, ordered food and chatted.

“What do you think? Are you fine?”

“The atmosphere is nice. How did you find out about this place?”

“You did that last time. Go outside and refresh yourself from time to time. I was walking around taking your advice, and that’s when I found it. The food tasted good too.”

“Don’t eat alone. Call me if you have anything to come.”

“Thank you even for the empty words.”

These are not empty words, bitch. Don’t try to distance yourself from me.
Before he just kidnaps them to the base and brainwashes them.
We ate course meals in a friendly atmosphere, and after dessert, we returned to the laboratory.
After brushing my teeth in the bathroom, I came out and said.

“I’ll just go.”

“Yeah, today was fun.”

A doctor who doesn’t seem to care. We still have a long way to go to attack.
Still, I was building a crush.
I got a lot of points for serving food after the first drinking party… So don’t forget this point because you crossed the line, let’s take it easy.

When I went back to the officetel, Sehwa was there.
As soon as she saw me, she ran up to me and hugged me.
She wraps her legs around my waist and spreads affection on her lips.
The smell of alcohol wafted from Sehwa’s mouth.
It seems that he had a drinking session with his classmates. I said as I removed her face, which was about to devour her lips.

“Have you been drinking?”

“Yes. I miss you.”

Huh, even when the two of you are alone in an enclosed space, you talk casually.
Forgive me I was away for a while while attacking YuRia, and technically, this was outside the base.
I patted her butt and went to the sofa and sat down.

“I missed you too.”

“Hey… What about Yuria? It’s over?”

“It’s over.”

“Why didn’t you come with me?”

“They say you won’t wake up until tomorrow. Treat me well when I see you.”

“Yes.”

Huh? I thought you wouldn’t like it even if it wasn’t crazy, but you’re calm?
There must have been a change of heart over the course of a week.
I was stroking Sehwa’s rich hair with deep eyes, and she asked.

“Jihyuk. Do you know the training?”

Oh Yeon-soo? Of course you know.
I remember that I used it while mentioning it to cause Sehwa’s jealousy.
She was interested in me… What are you doing for a living now?

“Know. Why is he?”

“Did you know he joined the agency? He said he would learn.”

“Okay?”

“Yes. He acted very well today. The size of the agency is also quite large. I was annoyed that you kept interrupting me and bragging about it.”

“So, you want revenge?”

“Yes.”

You could do it yourself, but seeing that you asked me to do it, it looks like you’re starting to get ripped off again.
Let’s just answer that we know.
If you give it to a monster in a secret place… No, wait a minute… Affiliation?

“Does the agency where training is put in specialize in actors?”

“No. When I looked for it, there was a singer.”

“If it’s a singer, does it include idols too?”

“Isn’t that it? Why?”

Rosé… In other words, Stella Haley is a woman who dreams of becoming a singer.
They later became famous enough to chart at the top of the Billboard charts by releasing albums, but their future was dark because they made one mistake at first.
That’s right, her first career path was as an idol.
And she was scammed by choosing the wrong agency for her in Korea.

In this idol scene that boasts a history of hundreds of years, scammers are still rampant.
Stella got caught up in it and worked hard to lose her body. She couldn’t even get her money properly, and she became disillusioned with this side of the world.
It is said that she almost gave up on her dream of becoming a singer.
She goes back to America and wanders around for a while, recovers her mentality, and after passing the audition for an American label, she goes on a winning streak.

First of all, Stella’s basic story was like this.
If that’s the case, I don’t think it would be bad for her to take over at least one entertainment agency… She becomes a perfect bait for calling Stella.
Because now she vaguely hoped to become an idol.

Currently, the whereabouts of Aether, as well as Caroline and Celine, are in a state of mystery… I don’t think they will be found any time soon…
Stella, like Sehwa and Yuria, takes time to mature, and she has to rest until the juice flows out before eating.
For now, I think it would be nice to have a relationship where you have a crush on each other, or just a boyfriend.
I just shook my head and laughed.

“I will avenge you.”

“Really?”

Sae-hwa spurred on her buttocks with joy.
I picked her up and went into her bedroom.
Since she dared to pick Sehwa, she should avenge her by setting up a net for Stella.
But does Yeon-soo want to have a boyfriend? If there is, we should drop Yeonsu for dessert.
