Chapter 182 – Chapter – Back Alley Nymph’s Village # 4
Jongjang – Village of Back Alley Nymphs # 4
The day a strange moon fell from the sky-.
The world has faced many changes in many ways.
The biggest change was that the planet’s axis collapsed, and it was scattered in all directions.
Countless clusters of light disappeared across the world like exploding meteors, and Psyche traveled around the world holding the Holy Grail in search of the fragments.
“Give back Hyde!”
Psyche continued to shout in hope at the cracked chalice.
Overflowing-Overflowing-.
Inside the Holy Grail, a beautiful light fluttered like soft smoke, and it was the first time that a cluster of light from the axis of rotation had been gathered to such an extent that it was visible to the eye.
“Give Hyde back to us!”
Psyche prayed and hoped earnestly.
The hand holding the Holy Grail, which is said to grant a person’s wish, was filled with strength.
Wooooow-.
The Holy Grail resonates with a strange sound.
But that’s only for a moment—soon! And all the light in the Holy Grail dispersed. Psyche’s hopes were also dashed.
“… Ah, ah…”
When expectations are high, disappointment is also great.
I shed a few tears because I thought it would be really different this time.
Zek-.
Now Psyche took a small note out of his arms, stamped it with ink on the tip of his feather, and scribbled some words on it.
「Failure」.
The same words were always written in the letters sent to Lucy and Milione.
Psyche was very sad.
Does this mean there really is no way now?
“Hyde… Has it really disappeared?”
Psyche escaped out of the cave and climbed to the top of the mountain.
And he looked at the wide sky and sea.
The world was blue and beautiful.
A strange moon didn’t rise and people didn’t forget about sex.
But-.
There was no sign of Hyde anywhere.
The world has not forgotten Hyde, but this time he has hidden from the world. Like a person who never existed from the beginning.
Psyche was very sad that not a single strand of his hair remained.
Of course-.
Psyche was a strong woman, and her heart was upright and strong.
Since she didn’t have enough time to sit down in a place like this, Psyche put the Holy Grail in her bag and tried to go down the mountain.
Just then, I saw someone crouching under a big tree.
“Oh my gosh, I’m dying… Oh… Oh, I’m dying…”
He was a man wearing rags made of animal skin.
His face was so dirty that it was hard to tell when he had washed it, his hair was scattered, and he was so old that it was hard to tell whether he was his grandmother or grandfather.
But one thing was certain: he groaned like someone who was injured or sick.
Psyche knew very well that in this land outside the map, she was treated as a distinct ‘outsider.’
He also knew that people were trying to catch him.
However, he couldn’t leave the injured person like this.
“What’s going on?”
Psyche asked.
Then the old woman cried, revealing her sparse teeth.
“Hungry… I haven’t eaten anything for several days already…”
“… Ah.”
Psyche searched his pockets.
There was hard bread that was good to boil and eat together in stew, and fruits picked from the mountain and dried sardines were available.
Although it was not enough food for Psyche to eat for the day, the old woman looked at the food in Psyche’s hand and hurriedly stretched out her hand and stuffed it into her stomach.
Munching, munching-.
Has it been about 5 minutes since then?
The old woman laughed.
“Ah, now I can finally live. People these days have no respect for the elderly. The world isn’t what it used to be. But I survived thanks to this pretty girl! “My stomach almost got stuck in my back!”
Sze-. Crump, crunch -.
When she straightened her curved back, the old woman grew to be about a head taller than Psyche.
Psyche noticed that this old woman was an unusual person, and in fact, the old woman spoke first with her sparse teeth, as if she had read Psyche’s mind.
“Miss. Don’t you have something strange? Broken and broken. This old man has extraordinary talent. “Maybe it will help you with what you’re looking for.”
Zek-.
An old woman pointing to Psyche’s bag.
Psyche took out the Holy Grail from her bag and showed it to the old man.
The old woman fingered her chalice for a while and then laughed.
“Ah-. Is it Uniger’s “Holy Grail”? It is a mysterious object that gathers the light of the axis of rotation and makes people’s wishes come true. I can’t believe it was broken so horribly. This way, even if you gather a bunch of light, it all ends up escaping through the cracks. Tsk tsk.”
“… !”
Who would have thought that there would be someone who would know about the halo of the rotation axis and the Holy Grail!
Psyche was truly amazed and amazed, and at the same time, she felt hope overflowing from within.
This was because this strange meeting felt like a miracle or providence.
“Can you fix it? This Holy Grail… !”
“It’s a difficult task. The women who made this vessel and presented it to King Uniger were all adepts with perfect intelligence. This vessel itself is made of objects that are not of this earth.”
“… Well, how can there be no way!”
Psyche did not want to lose her hope that she would somehow escape the end of the world.
Psyche pleaded with the old man, and the old man looked at her with pity.
“Miss. Once something has been spilled and broken, it is not easy to put it back together. This thing is like that, and relationships between people are like that too. Still, the product is better.”
Zek-.
The old man squatted on the floor and drew a picture with his finger on the dark dirt.
“You can’t fix what’s broken, but you can make it new. From now on, you must go to the place I am talking about and accomplish an impossible feat. You may have to pay a huge price.”
“I will do anything! Anything! “I can pay any price!”
Psyche was so happy that she almost cried!
The old woman held onto Psyche’s forearm.
“Miss, you shouldn’t say that you will do anything rashly. However, it takes determination and courage to do so. “Miss, even if you have to die, can you not back down?”
Wow-.
The old woman’s arms were very strong.
Psyche was surprised by the old woman’s strength, which was stronger than she expected, and when she saw it up close, she was impressed that the old woman’s eyes were exceptionally blue and that her skin was not that old.
However, it was still good.
“I could. Even if I have to die!”
“…”
Ssurre-.
An old woman looking at Psyche with narrow eyes.
Soon the old woman took a deep sigh and spoke.
“… A woman in love can do such reckless things. Gather two of her companions who will never betray you. “She should be a companion who can fill in what the young lady lacks.”

“So where is that damned old woman?”
Milione frowned.
Psyche hurriedly called and crossed the end of her earth, and came to the land outside.
Milione was irritated by the stormy sailing that lasted several days and the attacks by the natives.
“Didn’t he already die naturally? It’s been a month. Even though elderly people seem fine, they suddenly collapse the next day!”
“Look at this! It’s a huge mosquito! What kind of mosquito is as big as a person’s palm! It’s sucking a ton of blood from my forearm! Look at this! The lizard here has two heads! It’s a two-headed snake!”
However, Lucy was in a good mood.
It was because I felt excited as if I was going on an adventure in a story.
“After all, signing and signing in Seongwangcheng is not my style… ! I like walking around like this… ! It’s fun because it feels like an adventure… !”
Lucy recalled books she had read a long time ago.
Lucy loved reading books, but aside from the books written by Hyde, her favorite was “The Founding of Uniger.”
It was a book full of all kinds of wars and mysterious adventures.
“Don’t you feel like you’ve become Sam Mi-hee of the founding king of Uniger? Us! An island full of mysterious animals! Look at this! The ants are so big too! Ants are as big as the palm of your hand! Wow, he’s struggling so hard!”
━Zuji… !
“Jjirae! What does zuji mean? How? I can’t believe the ant said Zizhi! Zuji… Zuji… I have no idea what it is! Zuji… !”
Lucy shivers.
He soon spoke as if he was roaring, swatting away the palm-sized mosquitoes that were sticking around Milionedo.
“Let’s stop appreciating it and find out where that old lady is. If you stay here, all your blood will be eaten by mosquitoes and you will become a mummy! “What kind of place in the world is like this?”
“Here! This!”
Pot-.
At that time, Psyche pointed to a rock.
I saw a strange drawing on a rock near the spot where I met the old woman.
It was like a map.
A winding valley was drawn and there was also a round marker.
“It must be the map her grandmother prepared for us!”
There was no evidence that it was so, but Psyche wanted to believe that.
And so did Lucy and Milione.
Psyche, Milione, and Lucy transferred the drawings on the rock to paper and walked along the winding valley.
As they began to walk through the valley, an incredibly thick fog suddenly covered their bodies, preventing them from seeing an inch in front of a moment─.
When Psyche came out of the foggy valley, she was amazed in many ways.
This was because a very large temple appeared.
It was a building that could have easily reached a hundred meters in height.
The entrance was almost completely hidden by a magnificent waterfall, and there was a rainbow hanging over it.
The three beautiful women waded through the waterfall and entered the temple.
Then, I saw grains piled up like a mountain.
Grains such as beans, oats, barley, etc. Were piled up like a mountain, so it was magnificent.
And-.
There was a sign in front of it that said:
“Those who want to know the way. Sort all grains into separate boxes.”
