Chapter 173 – 173. The Fifth Nadaegi of the Other World Summoner (1)
– One –
Who said that men talk from behind?
If there is a man who shows off his masculinity with his overwhelming back muscles and can replace hundreds of words with only his back, it would be Jose.
“Whoa…”
But now his back was shabby.
Drooping shoulders, bent waist, lowered head, and weak sighs.
The aura of a loser he radiated looked in stark contrast to his usual confident back.
Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.
Someone approaches him
But Jose does not raise his head.
Dump.
“Older brother.”
Mono Horn came over and sat down next to him, but José just stared blankly at the windblown weeds, hugging his knees.
“Older brother?”
“Ah, brother is you here?”
Only then did Jose seem to recognize him, and he replied with a slightly apologetic expression.
He couldn’t even make eye contact with Monohorn.
“Brother, why are you trembling in a place like this alone?”
“… That’s what you mean…”
Jose smiles bitterly and drops his head.
Mono-Hon didn’t really know what he was thinking, so she didn’t ask him, so she just stayed by his side without saying anything.
Swoop.
“Would you like one?”
Jose, without turning his head, extends his hand towards Mono Horn, index and middle fingers extended.
“Uh, um… I can give it to you, but won’t your sister hate it because it smells?”
“Hmm… I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
Took.
Jose drops his hand.
His head is lowered further.
– Monohorn. It’s okay to give How frustrating honey must have been…
Mono Horn gave his head a subtle nod that Jose did not notice.
Even that much would be enough for Margarita to notice.
However, Monohorn did not make cigarettes on the spot.
Whoops, whoops.
Instead, he searches his arms.
He takes out his favorite pipe, which is made by molding ssamji and a hard tree trunk.
He takes out the chopped plant leaves from the bag.
Chop leaves into a depression in the bottom of the chamber, inside the bowl of the pipe.
On top of it, fill the leaves taken out from the ssamji, and press with moderate force.
The finely chopped leaves seem to have absorbed some moisture, so they stick to your fingers.
Fill the leaves up to the top, then chop them evenly.
Taktak.
The powder on his hands rubs on his thighs and shakes them off.
“Brother, here you are.”
“…Did my love allow me to smoke?”
“… No. Instead, it’s just this once.”
“Is it…”
Make up words without a monohorn.
Knowing Margarita’s character better than anyone else, José must have noticed that he made up the words without him.
But how can Jose not know that his lies stem from genuine concern?
He pretended not to know.
“Thank you. Could you light a fire for me?”
“Yes.”
Monohorn draws a portable igniter from his trouser pocket.
Click, click!
Hwareuk.
Chi profit.
Light a fire and hand it to Jose.
“Huh.”
Just as José draws in air through the mouthpiece of the pipe, he sets the pressed plant leaves on fire.
“Whoa, whoa…”
White smoke flows from Jose’s mouth and nose.
Fragrant and savory smoke spreads out.
Monohorn licked his lips,
Squeak, squeak.
Shudder.
Pop.
By molding a tree trunk, a new pipe was created in an instant.
Then carefully press the tobacco.
Jose looks back and forth at his pipe and monohorn.
“It’s okay if you gave me the newly made one, but I’m sorry I asked for an unnecessary favor.”
“Ah, what? It’s better to smoke after a while, if possible, to enjoy it. Hey, I’ll just use this newly made one as an extra, so don’t think like that. Heuuuuu, haaaaa.”
“I see. If that’s the case, I’m glad. Sueup, whoa…”
“If you use it, you’ll get used to the scent and get used to it, well.”
Monohorn smiles wryly.
“I’m not saying this for nothing, brother. Thanks to making another one, I can smoke it once a day. Hehe.”
Jose smiles as well.
There seems to be some bitterness missing from his smile.
“If you find out that you made extra, won’t you be scolded by Je-su again? I know that Je-su trampled on a pipe that my sister secretly made last time.”
“Ah, ah… Big brother, of course you have to keep this a secret from Maman.”
“Hehe. I’m going to keep my mouth shut, but isn’t there a way to hide the smell left on my brother’s body and the smell coming up from inside?”
“… Yes…”
Monohorn is downcast.
Jose was just so proud of him.
It’s because he knows that Monohorn is trying to make a fool of himself to make him feel better.
“Sueup, heuheueum. This tobacco is not very poisonous.”
“It was blended with herbs selected by Ada-sama. It smells a bit, but they say it’s good for bronchial health. They are plants that are used to treat patients, so they are not harmful to the body at all.”
Monohorn smiled and explained to Jose.
This was something José already knew, but he nods and listens to what he has to say.
“Whoa…”
“Speak.”
“What were you so worried about, so you were suffering all alone?”
“Hmm…”
Jose shuts his mouth.
It didn’t seem like he was organizing his thoughts for a moment.
“We’re working hard on war preparations. Personal weapons training is going smoothly, long-distance strike weapons are almost finished, and even the laying of traps has been completely completed as of yesterday. Deception plans are ready, and preparations for firearms are certain. Mock warfare and long-range weapons Just do a few rounds of strike weapon firing drills, and you’ll be ready to go out looking for detailed improvements. Are you still worried about something?”
Jose chuckles.
Somehow his smile seemed bitter.
“Isn’t your sister well aware that you are not doing this because you are worried about preparing for war?”
“…”
Monohorn also laughed bitterly.
There was no point in pretending not to know.
In the silence for a while, only the sound of inhaling and exhaling tobacco could be heard.
“Right…”
“…”
Mono Horn looks at Jose with her side of the eye.
The smoke Jose exhaled resembled a sigh.
“I guess I was a selfish person.”
“What do you mean, bro?”
“Huuuuu. I still find myself worrying only about the monopoly of Margarita, rather than worrying about the survival of all of us. The survival of all of us doesn’t seem to have much value to me. Always in my head is Margarita and my love. It’s just thoughts. To say that I’m not selfish at all is just deception.”
Monohorn seemed a little hot after hearing Jose’s words.
“Are you selfish? It’s not like that, brother. It’s honestly the fault of a stupid goddess.”
“… I feel relieved to hear that it’s not even empty words, but how can I blame the goddess for my narrow-mindedness and narrow-mindedness?”
“Well, if I think about it from the first time I met my older brother and my older sister, my older brother didn’t have this level of obsession with my older sister.”
Startle.
Jose, as if realizing this for the first time, looks at Monohorn with a very surprised expression.
“Did you really feel that way?”
“Sure. I don’t know exactly when my older brother and sister reached the 7th level, but they didn’t suddenly reach the 8th level on that day. Surely, they were always at the 7th level while they were with me, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right…”
Monohorn’s eyes glowed eerily.
Her resentment and anger toward the goddess, which she had suppressed for so long, seemed to be revived.
“I haven’t been like that since I reached the 7th level, but after that incident, after I went up to the 8th level and then came back down to the 7th level, I think my older brother’s obsession has intensified. No, my older brother’s obsession has intensified.”
“My, my nature was originally like that,”
“I’m sure it’s not, brother.”
“Ha…”
Jose’s face darkens.
However, as a creature born and raised in this world, it was not easy for him to resent her goddess.
No matter how much the misfortune was caused by the goddess, insisting on her participation is also her own choice.
If she was worried about her side effects in the first place, she had to get off the bus neatly and go into seclusion in a remote area.
The one who didn’t choose it was himself, and it was Margarita.
That’s why his anger has lost its place.
“Honestly, it’s too hard…”
“…”
Monohorn glances at Jose with a pitiful expression.
The two quietly burned the tobacco in their pipes in silence.
“Huuuuu… Big brother, if the situation is so difficult right now, should I tell Estrus sister to stop?”
“What, what…? That, together, that…”
“It’s a spectator play.”
“That, that, that, that, watching, playing…”
Jose’s face turns pale.
He seemed completely seized with fear, as if the mere imagination had driven him to fear.
“It’s my very personal impression, but I feel that, so, showing others how we make love, seeing others watching us make love, is an unnecessary act that I can’t understand at all…”
“Is that so…”
Monohorn felt it.
The most fundamental cause of Jose’s depression is the aftereffects of experiencing ultimate love.
However, the most decisive cause is that they are invited to an orgy party and forced to play spectators.
“Aren’t I even forbidden to be alone with my love on a regular basis? If I’m not with someone else, I’m deprived of the right to be with my love. How unreasonable is this? My partner and I, our free will. You can’t even enjoy the right to be together on the basis, this is really,”
“It’s an effective method~♬”
“Foot medicine!”
The Mono Horn fell backwards,
“Ugh…!”
Jose jumps up.
“Ah, aww!”
Tal tal tal.
As the Monohorn falls, it shakes off the cigarette ash that it covered.
Mono Horn looks up at her with bewildered eyes.
Estrus, who appeared silently, looked down at the two men and smiled softly.
“Huh~♡”
No.
He looked at Jose’s groin and smiled lewdly.
“Hey, did you overhear, Estrus…?”
“Even if you don’t want to hear it~ Even if you don’t want to know~ Within my range~ I can see everything~ What should I do?”
“…”
“I’m not here to get angry or criticize, so don’t worry~♬ I’m so nervous, Jose oppa~♡”
Jose couldn’t scream that it wasn’t because of him, that it was because he was staring too hard at his groin.
It was because Estrus didn’t seem to be listening.
“Huh~♬ Tell me honestly, Jose oppa~ I’m annoyed~ I’m frustrated~ I’m really angry~?”
“… That’s right…”
Jose replied with a gloomy face.
Only then does Estrus turn her head and look into Jose’s eyes.
“But you know what?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Since we set up special rules so that we are not alone with Margarita’s sister, Ya and my brother have never had her eyes go blind~?”
“Yes…?”
“I understand~ pretending not to understand~ or not~?”
“…”
Jose’s face turns red.
“I know all these estruses ~ Brother Jose ~ Sister Margarita ~ since she had a seizure since her mother left ~ never had a seizure ever ~ never showed signs of having a seizure ~ ♬”
“…”
“Do you understand what that means?”
“That, that’s…”
“Unnie and oppa~ They may not have gotten better~ but it’s true that they aren’t getting worse~♡”
Jose’s face turns to crying.
He knows too.
It doesn’t make any sense.
The rules and course of action that everyone put their heads together is a very effective means of protecting them.
Margarita addiction, resulting dependence and withdrawal symptoms are the main causes of his suffering.
However, he just didn’t want to admit it.
“Don’t you know?”
“I-I…”
“Admit it~ Unnie and Oppa~ Even if we can’t guarantee the best, we’re at least avoiding the worst path~♬”
“… Is that so…”
Again.
Tears flow from Jose’s eyes.
Estrus completely ignored it even though he saw it clearly.
He smiled lively again.
“Yeah~! Of course~ after doing this~ Seeing oppa’s big cock~ strong body, plump eyes~ me and~ the other unnies enjoying their eyes~ It’s so much fun~♡”
“That,”
“Your brother feels it too~ Because we set the rules so that we can’t focus on each other~ Aren’t you fully aware of the fact that neither of you are going into a really dangerous situation~?”
“…”
“Isn’t it?”
“…”
“Right or not right~? Yes, no~?”
“That, yes…”
Swoop, Swoop.
Jose lifts her arm and wipes away her tears.
As Monohorn sucks on his pipe, I pat him on the back with one hand.
Sup, woo woo woo.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Watching Monohorn smoke deliciously,
Gulp.
Estrus swallows.
I couldn’t look away from her intense eyes, so Mono Horn had to make her own.
“Sister Estrus.”
“Huh~ Whoa~ Why~?”
“Hyung-nim seems to be under a lot of stress because he can’t be alone with Margarita-nee. Honestly, I don’t think I can just let it go. He’s having such a hard time, but it’s okay, so telling him to be patient…”
“Hee hee~♬ That’s~”
Estrus pondered for a moment.
She glances at Jose with her side of the eye.
Although she already knew that José’s psychological state was in jeopardy, it is also true that she was overlooking the war preparations in the name of war.
Guilt crept in.
“We should all put our heads together and find a way to solve it~♬”
“That’s how it should be. We’re all struggling to live together, but turning a blind eye to someone having a hard time is something that should never happen.”
Mono Horn nods her head with her firm face.
Was it because she felt his will?
Jose’s expression softened a little.
Perhaps his tantrum subsided because he realized that he was not blindly forcing himself to make sacrifices and concessions.
“Hihi~♬ That’s why it’s Jose oppa~♡”
“Yes, Estrus.”
“If you cry again, they will eat you up~?”
“Yes yes…?”
“Again, again~ pretending to understand but not understanding, or not?”
“Oh, no…”
“Crying is so sexy~”
Estrus flashes his eyes and flicks his tongue.
“Your pussy looks like it’s going to get wet, no~ it’s already wet~?”
“Kuh, kuhm!”
“Sister Estrus… Sister Margarita is watching…”
“Hihi~♬ Margarita unnie~ I love you~♡”
Estrus looks up at the sky, raises his arms and draws a big heart over his head.
Margarita said nothing.
“Ah, that’s right~! I’m not here for this~”
Estrus looks at Monohorn.
Her playfulness fades from her expression.
“Monohon~ Maybe the representatives of the media~? Do you remember those people~?”
“Sure. At that time, it was an intentional relationship to feed Regal big shit, but how can I forget it? But why are you asking about that all of a sudden?”
“It’s Margarita sister~”
Estrus points south.
“Hey~ I sensed a one-armed and one-eyed beggar coming~ They’re still looking for Jin-sensei~?”
“Mr. Jin? A one-armed kid? A beggar?”
Monohorn tilted his head with a puzzled face.
“I used the pseudonym Jin, but no one called me Jin-sensei? Plus, her one-armed and one-armed…”
“It sounds suspicious~? Then~ shall we go and kill it~?”
Thump
Mono Horn grabs her arm and shakes her head hastily.
“Wait a minute. Um, Sister Estrus, can’t you see them?”
“It hasn’t come within my detection range yet~”
“Is Margarita doing that now?”
“Yeah~ I’m practicing not looking at the past on purpose~ They said they didn’t read the past~”
Monohorn looks up.
“Sister Margarita?”
– It’s a little blurry. They’re people you’ve only seen once, and you’ve never heard of them since. Besides, the people we used to know, Jack and Daniel?
“Ah, Mr. Chieper and Mr. Daniel.”
– Huh. They claim to be them, but I honestly don’t recognize them. I’m not sure if it was a disguise or what kind of hardships she went through because it’s so different from her appearance back then.
“Okay.”
Mono Horn nods her head.
After organizing her thoughts for a moment, he looked back at Estrus.
“Sister Estrus. Can you go with Benison-hyung and bring them to me?”
“If you go first?”
“Still, if possible, put weight on suppression. If my sister thinks it’s dangerous, I’ll allow her to cut off her limbs.”
“Okay~♬ I’ll be back soon~?”
Side, side!
Shashak!
Estrus disappears leaving a kiss on Jose and Monohorn’s cheek.
Monohorn was smiling,
“…I don’t know if this is the right thing, brother…”
José was constantly pouring out complaints without hiding his shyness.
“Hehe, how are you? Let’s go, older brother. Go and help me practice crossbow aiming. Until Sister Estrus and Brother Benison come back, I want to practice a little more.”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Tuck, Tuck.
The two stood up, brushing off the ash from their pipes.
Jose stretches for a long time.
“Hmm… Like my love, I think I need something to focus on… I guess it’s because I have plenty of room, after all, to think such dire thoughts.”
Hearing Jose mutter, Monohorn’s eyes light up.
“Ah, brother. You know that time. When brother and sister just reached the 8th level.”
“Hmm.”
“Do you remember that Sister Estrus was peeping inside before reaching the 8th stage?”
“Keu, keuhum… That’s right.”
Jose’s expression hardened.
“At that time…”
When Monohorn tells José about the secret that Estrus was able to peek inside the Breeze’s Veil, she gives her guess.
Incidentally, she also gives her guesses as to how to improve it.
Jose’s eyes shine.
For the time being, thanks to Monohorn, there seemed to be no time to get bored.
