Chapter 368 – 32. The Kingdom of the Twin Gods

Suzume wasn’t the only one who looked at the other person and tried to gain information.

Han Si-woo is no different.

He started a conversation with Suzume and got to know her.

Surprisingly, she wasn’t very wary of Si-woo.

She showed off her composure by answering questions that could be a bit sensitive as if they were no big deal.

Thanks to this, Shiu was able to learn about Suzume little by little.

It’s not a lot of information, but I didn’t know anything about her other than what was known to the outside world from the beginning. So, every word that Suzume said casually left an impression on her mind.

Especially the past history part.

“It must have been difficult.”

“It’s hard. I’m not sure about that.”

“Yes?”

Siwoo made a face of bewilderment.

Anyway, my parents died in an accident and I still don’t know.

“He passed away when the girl was quite young, and an accident occurred while he was experimenting with forcibly raising his level. Isn’t this a blessing in disguise?”

Suzume speaks calmly.

It was an even tone, as if he really thought so.

Shiu thought as he looked at Suzume.

Does she really know what kind of face she has?

That expression is dripping with regret.

“…”

Siwoo had a bitter taste in his heart.

From his perspective, it didn’t seem like Suzume would have rebelled solely out of her own self-interest.

Even if it is clearly the wrong will and goal, it will have a good cause.

‘There is a high probability that it is something related to a family or race.’

I don’t know if Suzume knew, but she seemed like she wasn’t good at lying.

First of all, it is impossible to hide affection when talking about the family and the Moon Fox clan.

Perhaps because he knew it, he deliberately used a strange tone of voice to hide the awkwardness.

It was a ridiculous imagination, but it was subtly plausible.

Isn’t it strategic in its own way?

“Then, will you continue to work as the head of the house from then on?”

Normally, I would have changed the topic out of consideration for Suzume.

But he asked a little deeper.

If she’s lucky and catches at least one chance to persuade her, the next 5 days will be a lot easier.

“… No.”

Suzume hesitated slightly before answering.

“The girl was very young at the time, so other adults took care of her for a few years.”

“They are good people.”

She nodded her head in agreement with Siwoo’s words.

“That’s true. I heard there are families who have conflicts over things like this. The Tsukitsune family is very harmonious among its members.”

It was sincere.

Although this is why she did not completely take control of her family.

That’s a problem that will be naturally solved once you can raise your level.

I have no intention of forcibly obtaining it, even if it means incurring opposition from my family and clan.

“Good. Peace is important.”

“…”

It was so small that it was barely noticeable, but Suzume was shocked.

Even though Siwoo himself said that he knew what you were trying to do.

She snorted to herself that she wouldn’t know exactly what it was.

Well, it’s a secret of secrets, but how can she know because she’s a goddess?

‘Can you imagine that it would turn the country upside down?’

Even though I couldn’t imagine it, I saw it from another future, but there’s no way Suzume would know that.

She relaxed and talked to Si-woo.

Then she noticed something and smiled brightly.

“You have arrived.”

“Here…”

“Yes. Come to Fox Hill, the specialty of our Fox Island.”

The familiar yet unfamiliar name briefly reminded him of the Earth, but he quickly shook it off.

Futashima’s Fox Pass was not just a place name, but the name of a large marketplace spread across its lintel. It is the largest market on Fox Island, and various stores are gathered together to form a large complex.

“It’s incredible.”

Siwoo was amazed at the scale beyond imagination.

“That’s true.”

Suzume proudly answered with her sassy cheeks

It seems that her pride and affection are not limited to just her family and clan.

“Okay then, let’s go!”

Suzume walks to the middle of the market dragging Shiu in a slightly exasperated tone.

The guards were having a hard time behind her, but she didn’t care.

Siwoo also had an awkward expression as the crowd naturally focused on him.

‘I can’t care about this at all.’

I never would have thought that I would show people such a blatant date-like appearance.

At first, I thought there was some intention, but looking at her expression, I thought that wasn’t the case.

Suzume had a face that purely wanted to show off this place.

“The skewers here are very delicious.”

She is a girl who has abandoned her strange girlish tone and speaks excitedly.

Contrary to his behavior as if he had eaten often, the skewer seller was flustered.

“Oh my.”

“Please give me two boxes of skewers.”

‘2 boxes… ?’

“Ah, I understand, my lord.”

“… Ah.”

He paused for a moment at the title ‘Lord’ and his expression changed colorfully.

The reason was not difficult to guess.

‘I guess I was in secret when I usually come here.’

Meanwhile, the box I received from the skewer seller contained 10 boxes.

“…”

“…”

Suzume, realizing her current situation and her embarrassment, quickly became speechless.

For Siwoo, who found it quite fun, it was just a little disappointing.

“Haha. I’ll give one box to the guard and maids.”

“Do whatever you want, do whatever you want.”

Siwoo handed a box of skewers to the back.

Fortunately, there were only ten of them.

“Eat it.”

“… Yes.”

Suzume’s face was still slightly flushed, but she did not refuse the skewers.

As she said, the taste of her skewers was excellent.

For something sold on the market floor, the meat was excellent, with just the right amount of seasoning and a subtle fire flavor. If Futashima were an open country, wouldn’t it become famous as a must-visit course among tourists?

“It’s delicious.”

“Right?”

Suzume was shyly happy at Shiu’s praise.

He never looked like someone who would revolt within a week.

Thanks to that, Siwoo stared at her with a complicated expression.

“Why are you doing that? Is there something on the girl’s face?”

“Oh, that’s not it. By the way.”

Siwoo asked, picking up one of his new skewers.

“What kind of meat is this?”

“It’s a special product of Futashima called lunar eclipse.”

“It was chicken.”

“Is it because you don’t like chicken…?”

Surprisingly, there were quite a few people on the continent who avoided chicken, thinking it was low-quality meat.

But he was definitely not.

“No way. Rather, chickens come from a country where they cannot use their own legs.”

“The saint was talking about Pala, ah… His hometown, not that place.”

“Haha, yes.”

“…”

Suzume suddenly closes her mouth with a subtle expression.

She was silent for a moment, as if she had something to think about.

Because her attitude was quite serious, Siwoo quietly stayed by her side.

Then she finally broke her silence and spoke.

“Saint… Don’t you miss your home world, your mother country?”

“Hmm. My hometown.”

Siwoo pretended to be worried and thought about her question.

It is a meaningful question.

She didn’t ask naturally and thought about it for a while.

I thought there might have been some intention, but there was nothing I could easily guess.

‘Suzume’s hometown is right here.’

However, it does not seem like she is planning to do anything about the closed national policy. Or does she want to leave her position as the head of the family and go to the continent? But in this case, the question is not very appropriate.

‘I really don’t know.’

Siwoo, who was unable to find a good answer, eventually decided to answer according to his beliefs.

“Honestly, I don’t really miss it.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes. I don’t have many good memories on Earth, and there’s no one I can say I miss. I guess most of the heroes are like that. Furthermore, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but everyone who gets summoned as a hero has a strange reason.”

“…”

Suzume had a face with many things she wanted to say.

After hesitating, she finally gave up and shook her head.

“Excuse me, please buy it.”

“No.”

Suzume stands up from her seat, embracing her worries.

She must have calmed down a lot and unlike before, she didn’t hold his hand.

Siwoo followed her, feeling regret.

And she said.

“If you have a problem that is difficult to solve, it is better to consult with someone.”

“…”

“If you need someone to listen, please come to my room at any time.”

“That will probably never happen.”

“Haha, that would be nice.”

“… Hmph.”

Suzume snorted, but her mood wasn’t bad.

At least the conversation we had to get to know each other was quite useful.

However, the narrowed distance is still not enough.

“Yes, not yet…? Yet?”

‘What…’

This is something strange.

Suzume quickly noticed the change in herself and stopped her steps.

“Wow. Why did you suddenly stop…”

“Oh, no? I was sorry.”

‘What the hell is this…? .’

Suzume had a strange feeling that couldn’t be expressed in words.

We only talked for a day, or even a few hours.

Yet, strangely enough, her fondness for him grew in her heart.

Is this the talent of a warrior?

However, I have never felt anything like this from other heroes belonging to Futashima. Regardless of gender, whether male or female. Even though everyone, except for a few warriors belonging to the Onihime family, worked hard for several days.

‘This man…’ . Is there something different?’

Suzume was deep in thought as she left Fox Pass.

Like the magician inside her who was accustomed to contemplation, she reflected on her thoughts one by one.

And she realized.

She said that she felt strangely comfortable in body and mind from the beginning when she was with him.

Although she was scared to the point of giving goosebumps, she was also curious.

What exactly is different about Han Si-woo?

She definitely wanted to know that.
