Chapter 219 – 219. The First Reunion of the Other World Summoner (4)
– One –
“Meet the saintess.”
“Meet the saintess.”
Hooch and Slammer fall flat in front of Ada.
They went beyond kneeling down on her, and completely prostrated herself in front of her.
The respect they had for Ada seemed genuine.
“Rise up, folks. I’m not worth it.”
“No, saintess. It’s impressive that you’re still intact like this without any major changes.”
“That’s right, saintess! Even though I’m in a rough shape, thanks to the goddess’ protection, I’m still alive! If respect to the goddess and respect to the saintess aren’t the same, how can I just say hello!”
Hooch and Slammer were even holding back tears.
In fact, just by seeing Ada, they were able to alleviate much of the anxiety stemming from the overwhelming force of the Monohorns.
It was because he was convinced that those under the saintess could never be reckless.
Of course, Ada had a level relationship with all of them, but there was no way that Hooch and Slammer could grasp that.
It’s because they’ve been here less than a minute.
“Stand up anyway. I’m uncomfortable.”
“I understand, saintess.”
Swoop, Swoop.
Stumped.
They stand up to face Ada, and once again bow deeply to her.
Ada also bowed to face them.
When they look up, Ada walks past them with a grin.
“Monohon! Maman! You really worked hard!”
Wow!
Water!
Then she takes Mono Hon and Ur Mama into her arms.
They also naturally hugged Ada.
“It wasn’t a big deal, Ada.”
“The hero said something in the middle, but he was fine when he came!”
“Oh… It must have been harder than I thought? Wait a minute.”
Woo woo woo.
Ada chants an elementary healing spell on them all.
Not only Monohorn, but also Huchi and Slammer’s facial expressions change comfortably.
In fact, except for the three of them, there was no sign of exhaustion at all, but Ada did not spare her divine power and gave it to everyone.
Because that was the teaching of the goddess.
“I am Octopoda Moluska. Welcome here, the Imperial envoys.”
“This is Huchi. Nice to meet you.”
“It’s a slammer.”
Octopoda takes the lead and greets them.
He had a nice smile.
“You’ve worked hard to come this far.”
“No.”
“How about washing up and eating first?”
“Then please.”
And Huchi naturally responds.
Slammer sneaks out and stabs Monohorn in the side.
“Why?”
“Why, are there only young people here, except for that big man?”
“Huh. That’s right. It happened like that after we got together, well.”
Monohorn glosses over it.
No matter what their position in the imperial faction, it was because they were reluctant to share information about Eros Paradise with them.
‘Joe, it’s fucked… !’
The shrewd Slammer noticed it right away.
He immediately sensed that the empire was in direct contact with the largest mess in decades.
“Are you like that with all the girls here, you savage bastard?!”
So he turned right away.
“Oh, um… Is that so…?”
“Me, me, me, even though I have a husband…?”
Coincidentally, Octopoda was introducing Hooch to all of his party.
Slammer had his ears open to Monohorn while talking to them, so he was able to clearly understand everyone’s relationship.
“Is that so…?”
“Stand, stand, stand, no way, stand, stand, stand, saint”
“Shh.”
Tup.
Monohorn hastily closed his mouth.
Then he whispered to him in a low voice.
“Don’t go into too much detail. Are you the only one getting into trouble?”
“…”
“It’s our relationship, so that’s what it is. Everyone agrees, and everyone is living happily. We don’t have any problems with each other, so it’s not for people from outside to argue. Got it?”
Nod, nod
Slammer agrees to Monohorn’s words.
He looks at everyone with a mixture of envy, envy, and jealousy.
But after his one eye blinks a few times, he blows them all away.
Then he looks around with sharp eyes.
“Isn’t it wrong to ask that this is a new house?”
“Wow… You fucking, you’re really smart? Can you see that?”
“I asked because I had a tidy feeling unique to a new house. What, are you even mentioning it out of the blue? It’s because you didn’t say anything, that guy Huchi must have noticed that a long time ago.”
“Hmm… As expected, it seems that it is not difficult to notice at this level.”
Monohorn muttered quietly and beckoned to and fro.
Squeak, squeak.
Shrrrr
“Uh, uh…?”
Slammer quickly blinks his one remaining eyeball.
At some point, the traces of time are engraved on household items.
There are dents, dents, and even lightly moldy areas.
“Huh… If I hadn’t known about this in advance, I wouldn’t have known it was a new house, right? Is that what you’re doing now?”
“Eh. I built the house too.”
“Huh… I’m going to be surprised by this.”
As if those words weren’t lying, Slammer even stumbled a little.
Looking at the unspeakable miracle Monohorn had wrought, he felt his legs tremble considerably.
“Doesn’t this look like a fucking old house?”
“…”
Slammer silently nodded his head.
Monohorn chuckled.
“Do you know why I showed you this?”
“… I’m telling you not to spy on me.”
“Yes. If you come uninvited, we will tear down all of them, including allies and nabbers. This is not the house we originally lived in. We built it temporarily just because you said you were coming, and there is a real house. Is not used as a shelter.”
Gulp.
Slammer swallows dry saliva.
“In the first place, the Imperial Army is one body with the Emperor, but the Imperial Army is participating in this war. Isn’t it?”
“… I heard that you don’t know what will happen yet.”
“Yes. But I heard that you are already forward-deployed and intend to participate at any time. If you want to prove your qualifications as allies, you should have been bitten first by the Imperial Army. From the moment you fail to do that, you are no different from potential enemies.”
“You bastard…”
Slammer’s one remaining eye trembles relentlessly.
No, even my voice started to tremble.
“Did that kid get hit then…?”
Hehe… I was a bit mentally ill at the time.”
Mono Horn brushes her hair and laughs.
Looking at him like that, Slammer couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“… That wasn’t an excuse.”
“I’m not going to gossip with something like this.”
“I’m sick… I’m going to be surprised, today.”
Limp, chin.
Limp, chin.
Slammer shakes his head and follows his hook.
Jerk, jerk.
Just as Slammer follows Hooch into the bathroom, Jose approaches Monohon.
Monohorn greets him with a friendly face.
“Brother. You’ve had a lot of trouble.”
“Ah, what? Everything goes according to plan.”
“Is this the start?”
“Yes. We have to go according to plan. Shouldn’t we really verify that those bastards are determined to form a proper alliance?”
“I guess so.”
According to the changes in their relationship, as if a lot of progress had been made in alleviating the symptoms of his obsession with Margarita, José was seemingly quite stable.
He seemed to have become stronger mentally as a result of sharing love with everyone.
“Then, I’ll move first.”
“Yes. You can come up to the meeting room until dinner later.”
“Okay.”
Took.
Jose leaves with a fist bump with Monohon.
He kissed the cheek affectionately and shared hugs with the women on his way.
They shook hands or made fist bumps with men.
“Now, let’s all move as planned. There’s no way you’ll find out, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful, right?”
Everyone nods.
They each moved to their designated location.
Monohorn also moved in soon after.
Soon, no one was left in the drawing room.
– 2 –
Snap.
The waves sway.
In a bathtub large enough for ten people to sit in, two men stretched out with languid faces.
It was Hooch and Slammer.
“Look, Slammer.”
“Why?”
Since their journey to the North, they have been enjoying the greatest luxury.
Since they ran with the fastest transportation provided by those who had been recruited in advance from the imperial faction, there was no time to rest on their journey to the north.
Even, since they entered the unexplored land, they only moved on foot, so their appearance was not very different from that of beggars.
Then, at the base of the alliance, they were enjoying the luxury that only the nobles of the system could enjoy.
Their luxury was, perhaps, the most luxurious moment of their lives.
“What did you talk about with Monohon earlier? That, before riding the giant.”
Food.
Slammer pretended nothing was wrong and decided to tell it as it was.
“They said they’d like to have a drink tonight. Just the two of us.”
“…I see. Did you have any other intentions?”
Hooch also calmly asked Slammer a question.
However, the subtle stains and sharpness hidden in his pupils clearly came into Slammer’s eyes.
“From what I’ve seen, it looks like they’re trying to steal information from us through me.”
“Hmm…”
Huchi’s expression relaxed.
Because he thought that that was his intention.
“Leave it in moderation. Didn’t His Excellency Viscount Uwebol also ask them to fully cooperate with them in the first place?”
Hehe. See, I don’t know much about it. If I spill everything I know, there won’t be much nutritious information.”
“I see. How could we have gathered the information that the Viscount didn’t even give us in the first place?”
“Gorum, gorum.”
Chalbang.
After saying that, the two dive deep into the bathtub again.
And then it stretches languidly.
“He’s a big man like Jose, isn’t he? Someone who has a story with you.”
“Hmm…”
Hooch nods his head heavily.
He didn’t seem to want to hide it too much.
In the first place, there was no way that Slammer could not notice it.
“The eyes looking at each other are bloody.”
“On the way to the mission, I have no intention of fulfilling my selfishness.”
“…After the mission is over?”
“…”
Hooch made no reply.
I just looked up at the ceiling.
His eyes were very fierce.
Even when killing fake rebels near the islands, he never showed such a bloody look in his eyes.
Somehow the slammer felt a chill run down his spine.
“Well. I don’t know about that.”
After a while, Hooch answers Slammer’s question.
And erase your eyes
“I don’t really know what I want to do right now.”
“Huh. I don’t know if I can talk comfortably because I’m talking about someone else.”
Snap.
Slammer builds his back.
Hooch stealthily turns her eyes to him.
“Why don’t you just give up?”
“…”
Chambang.
Swoop, Swoop.
Slammer strokes his sparse chin with his left hand.
He seemed to speak easily, but to the core it seemed that it was not.
He was choosing his words carefully, with great care and constant hesitation.
“Actually, no matter what, it looks like you’re out of luck.”
“…”
“Hey, didn’t you try to get revenge because there was something wrong with Jose?”
“… That’s right.”
“And I tried to implement it on this journey.”
“Hmm…”
“But you think they noticed already?”
“…”
“Even before we came.”
“… Okay.”
Huchi readily acknowledged.
Then he closed his eyes.
“How could that be?”
“…”
“From what I’ve seen, they seem to have already entered the ranks of superhumans.”
“Um…”
Huchi nodded his head with difficulty.
Suddenly, his brows were slightly furrowed.
“What we’ve shown isn’t the end. It seems obvious, but how do you see it?”
“… I agree.”
The words he spat out resembled moans.
Slammer had a hunch that he would take his word for it.
“They must have shown us what they showed off today, but they probably didn’t reveal everything.”
“That’s what I mean. Don’t you know how good I feel?”
“Yes. There was nothing to lose by listening to you, and there is a high possibility that there will be no future.”
Slammer nods his head with serious eyes.
He was too foreign inside the warm bath, but goose bumps were all over his skin.
“From what I’ve seen, what they’ve done today seems like nothing more than trivial tricks.”
“Hmm… When you see it, what do you think their true face is like?”
“The truth?”
Parr.
Chalang, chalang.
Slammer shudders.
He cautiously opens his mouth.
“It’s clear that they’re not rebels. Viscount Uwevol has seen it with his own eyes, and we’ve seen it with our own eyes too.”
“I agree.”
“Then imagine that you and I are faced with the same situation as them.”
Gulp.
Hooch swallows dry saliva.
He choked at the thought of it.
“If it were you, would you run away with all your might, or would you choose to commit suicide cleanly?”
“… That’s right.”
“If it were me, I would spread my resentment here and there as much as possible and run away. By the way, if the Imperial army and private soldiers under the Regal are the enemy, whether they run away or commit suicide, it seems that the end will end in our deaths anyway. .”
“…Probably so.”
“But what are they doing?”
“…”
“Rather than expressing resentment, aren’t you preparing for war by considering proof of innocence as secondary?”
“…”
“With a whopping 150,000 enemies.”
“Um…”
Hooch nods his head.
The topography he saw on his way, the giants he saw on his way, and the people he saw on his way all aroused his fear beyond imagination.
Because of that, he couldn’t possibly deny it.
“They have confidence. They have the confidence to prove their innocence by force.”
“Yes… I guess.”
Slap, slap.
Swoop, Swoop.
Slammer scoops water with one hand to wash his face.
As soon as the warm water hits him, the goose bumps on his body subside a little.
“I don’t know how many helpers they have hiding, but will that number exceed fifty or a hundred?”
“…”
“There are only a handful of people preparing for war here. That’s for sure.”
“…”
“In the most extreme case, those less than 10 people are preparing for a war with a huge army of 150,000 people.”
“…”
“What’s his true face?”
“…”
“I, with my common sense, can’t even imagine it…”
After those words, there was only heavy silence in the bath.
