Chapter 1745 – [Storm Team’s □□]

We climbed up a mountain in the Northern Sea Kingdom and entered the realm of the divine beast located nearby, heading straight to the place where we could feel the presence.

Destroy or smash any trees or obstacles in your way and proceed straight ahead. I hate to admit it, but thanks to Seomu, there are no road problems, so as long as I clear the obstacles, I can take the shortest route.

“It’s over there!!! I can smell the divine water from over there!!!!”

“I really envy your sensory abilities… I haven’t awakened any abilities yet.”

“There’s nothing I can do about it, because abilities are real. My teacher doesn’t have any abilities, but I have two.”

“Still, it’s fortunate that the ability is not absolute. It’s good to have it, though.”

Awakening abilities is a matter of real luck. If you are lucky, you may awaken at a young age like Eden. Otherwise, you may not be able to awaken even when you become a transcendent.

Well, just because you don’t have abilities doesn’t mean you’re weak, but it’s better to have abilities no matter how bad they are. Mary doesn’t have any abilities, but she’s a wizard, so even if she awakens just one, she’ll be able to use it in numerous ways.

Anyway, as we got closer to the top of the mountain, we were able to find the home of the divine beast living here.

This guy was settling in a naturally created cave, and the entrance was quite large and deep, so the interior space seemed spacious. Perhaps for decoration, trees were pulled out around the entrance and woven together like a bird’s nest to create a fence.

It looks like a barricade has been put up in front of the house. And… Judging from the brown feathers nearby, it seemed like he was probably a bird.

“What kind of bird is it? Oh, come to think of it, even Stormbird doesn’t know what kind of bird it is.”

“You’ll see later. Let’s meet this guy first.”

“Okay… Are you there? It’s a delivery service!!!!!”

“No, delivery there?!”

And then a guy appeared from inside the cave with shining eyes. It was a huge… Owl with brown fur.

It’s as big as 2 or 3 times my height and has a lot of fur, but it’s not that cute, and one of the claws on its legs is as thick as my forearm. The overall shape of the head was like a letter U, with hairs sticking out on top. Maybe that’s why it looks quite cute.

The owl spirit was not in good condition, as the guess that he fought against Storm Bird was incorrect, and judging by the traces of charring here and there, it seemed like he was injured and was resting here.

“Hello, owl?”

“Bow boo.”

“Oh, we didn’t come to fight with you or anything like that. But are you okay? I can treat you. Should I help you?”

“Boop?”

Eden healed the owl spirit’s wounds by sprinkling water essence on them. I don’t think it froze because it was cold, but I guess I used a special hand or used warm water, so it didn’t freeze easily.

And as the essence of water touched the wound, the burns and other minor wounds suffered by Owl Shinsu began to heal quickly. In the case of feathers that have already fallen out, it will take time for new ones to grow, but at least there will be no problem now.

“Bow boo!!!!!”

“What do you have? I’ve treated your wounds, so let’s eat. I’ll give you some delicious meat, not monster meat or anything like that.”

Eden took out the slaughtered cow that had been separately airlifted from Cherubim and handed it to Owl Shinsu. It must have been hungry, so it grabbed the meat with its claws and ate it with its beak.

The guy seemed to like Eden because it suited his taste quite a bit. Because of her natural friendliness, it is easy to be friendly or liked from the beginning, but since she healed wounds and gave me delicious food, she has no wariness towards strangers.

“Bow boo.”

“Did you enjoy your meal? So, there are a few things I’d like to ask you. Can I ask you some?”

“Bow?”

“It’s about the storm bird…”

“Sssssbbwbw!!!!!!!”

Owl Shinsu trembled while making a harsh sound that was difficult to describe. It looks like there is some trauma left behind.

Even though I haven’t met him yet, it’s obvious that the Storm Bird is much stronger than the Owl Divine Beast, and since I was dealt a harsh blow by such an opponent, it would be strange if I didn’t have any trauma.

As Eden gently comforted the owl, she continued to talk. Since it wouldn’t be worth it if we didn’t learn something, she took her time and listened to the story about Storm Joe.

“I know you’re scared, but it’s because it’s necessary. We’re going around trying to stop the Stormbirds from going wild. We need to know what the problem is, so we can solve the Stormbirds’ problem.”

“Booooong…”

“If you solve that problem, Storm Bird won’t come looking for you again, right? What do you think?”

Owl Shinsoo seemed to have found some persuasion, and after thinking for a bit, he said something at length.

“Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.”

“Ah, so… Something is a bit absurd. I must have been struck by lightning.”

“Boo!!!!!”

“Yes, yes, you worked hard. I’ll leave some more meat, so eat deliciously and rest well. Instead, later, when you fully recover, catch some of the demon beasts. Because of them, other people are having a hard time too.”

“Bow boo.”

Eden, who had finished the story roughly, made a strange expression. Seeing that she looks like she heard something ridiculous, I don’t feel very good about her.

First, throw a few pieces of beef to Shinsoo the owl. Even if you can’t eat it all at once, because the weather is cold, it won’t rot even if you leave it alone, so it won’t spoil while you eat it.

And after that, we gathered separately and shared the story Eden heard. The most important purpose of this trip… It has finally been revealed why Storm Bird is making such a fuss.

“Stormbird is looking for a mate right now.”

“… What?”

“But if you don’t have a partner you like, or if you’re a good partner, the partner rejects you, you’re going into hysterics.”

Haha, Shinsu, but in the end, the bird is an old maid’s hysteria?

No!!!!!! What are we doing? Seriously!!!!!!

* ​ * ​ * ​ *

The truth that Eden revealed was something so absurd that it only made me sigh. I’m just wandering around looking for a mate, and the fuss I make is because the other person rejects me or doesn’t like me, so what on earth should I say about this?

I also expected the scenario where the damn guy did the fuck, but this wasn’t the fucked up problem, it was just a personal problem for the Storm Team. No, it’s not a person, so it’s not an individual, but a modification? Anyway.

First, the biggest problem was that, unlike other problems, this problem was difficult to solve through force.

If you have to use strength, it’s more than enough, but the problem is that even with that strength, Storm Bird can’t make a satisfactory mate. In the end, the storm bird may fly all over the North Sea Country, or, if worse, the entire continent, looking for its mate.

Of course, this continent is quite large, so if you search through it all, you might find a match that suits Stormbird’s tastes… But in what time period? And what damage will occur in the meantime?

“No, Mr. This is really embarrassing.”

“I thought Dad would beat me up and calm me down.”

“Dad also has his own common sense. And that is not a fundamental solution.”

“That’s right.”

“Old maid hysteria… Honestly, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“Mary, why do you sympathize with that?”

“Would you like me to tell you the reasons why?”

“No, it’s okay. Don’t do it. Please.”

How should I handle this… The best thing is to introduce Storm Team to someone who matches their tastes, but since I couldn’t do that, I had to find another way.

But how do you handle this? Is killing really the best way?

“Wait a minute, owl. Are you female or male?”

“Bow boo.”

“Oh, male? Okay, thank you.”

Additionally, I asked about the sex of the owl spirit and found out that it was a male. This means that the storm bird is a female, so if you want her mate, you need to find a male bird, Shinsoo.

… No matter how broad and accurate I am, I can’t write like that. It seems like it will be possible to determine the sexes somehow, but I doubt that the avian spirit beast that was found that way will like the storm bird.

“First, I have to meet Storm Bird in the end. I have to either make him give up, or find out his tastes and make him confront me.”

“I guess so. In the worst case scenario, I’ll have to lose.”

“Dad, didn’t you just say you wouldn’t do it while talking about common sense?!”

“I said I would do it in the worst case scenario, I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it.”

“But where can I go to meet Storm Bird? He must be hysterical and wandering all over the North Sea Country by now. Wouldn’t it be hard to wait in one place to meet him?”

“That’s right. Ah, owl. Do you know where Stormbird’s house is?”

“Bow boo.”

“An island quite far from the North Sea? Oh, they’re using an entire island there as a nest?”

“Bow.”

Although it occupies a significant portion of the North Sea State as its territory, its nest appears to be in the North Sea, which is the northern part of the North Sea State. The wider the activity radius, the faster the flight speed is, and there is no problem with activity even if you are not on the continent.

Rather, it can be a safe and quiet nest as there is little human access. The cold won’t be a problem.

So our new destination was decided. No matter how much you try to find a mate, if it stays in the nest, it will come back no matter what it does, so it will go and wait and when you meet it, it will talk to you and confront you, or as a last resort, it will beat it to bring it to its senses.

But if you refuse vehemently, well… You end up with a stormy samgyetang.

“Oh.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I was curious what that would taste like.”

“Well, that’s right. Thinking about it, it’s true that it’s a demonic beast, but I’ve never tried the divine beast system, so I’m not sure.”

“The horse meat I ate on Jeju Island was delicious.”

Hee?!?!?!”

“I’m just kidding. It’s true that horse meat was delicious.”

The secretary next to me cried out in surprise. To be honest, I’ve wondered more than once whether Seomu should make it with horse meat and make it into yukhoe or yuksashimi.

That’s how we parted ways with Owl Shinsoo. Even though they only met for a short time, the guy seemed to have developed quite a bit of affection, rubbing his beak against Eden to express his affection for her. It’s big, but it’s cute up close… Speaking of owls, it reminds me of the owl that delivers letters in Harry Potter. Ah, is this material a bit outdated for kids these days?

Anyway, with our destination set on the North Sea, we decided to stop by the capital of the North Sea country along the way. Let’s take a look. On the map, it’s a place written under the sea.

“But if it’s the sea, isn’t there seafood?”

“It’s a cold sea, so there might be crabs or other crustaceans.”

“It’s so fucking delicious!!!!! If you go, you should cook and eat it~!!!”

“Things like crustaceans are delicious, but the problem is that they yield less compared to the effort involved in peeling them.”

“That’s true. Still, I eat it because it’s delicious.”

Mary seemed to be okay with her crustacean side, which required a lot of work. As she said, it’s a hassle because you have to peel and clean it.

However, that type will eat well on its own if you prepare it separately. If I go back and cook it later, I’ll prepare it, so it’s easy to eat and serve it to you.

Eden, who later had to run a restaurant and had to practice cooking seafood a lot, was excited and excited about what kind of dish she would make. To be honest, I also really crave fresh seafood.

“Soy sauce crab!!! Seasoned crab!!! Steamed seafood!!! Crab burger!!!!”

“Making crab will take a long time, but even so, why a crab burger?!”

“Isn’t the crab meat burger made with crab meat? So it was actually a crab meat patty!!!!!!”

“So it wouldn’t be a crab burger!!!!!”

“I’m going to be SpongeBob!!!!”

“Uh… Isn’t it a sponge song there?”

“Ah, they say they used to call me that in the old days, but when I think about it, there seems to be a huge generation gap between fathers.”

“No, it was real in my dad’s time!!!! I shouldn’t have done something like that~ I didn’t know that~ After all, it’s the Sponge Song generation!!!”

“Uncle.”

“Ooooo!!!!”

“What is it, devil? Aren’t you reacting violently? Normally, you would be hemorrhaging blood while saying “Kaaaaa!!!”

“Because I don’t react that much to the fact that they’re older. Honestly, isn’t it natural for parents to be older than their children? How can the opposite be established in the first place?”

At least it wasn’t a fatal wound. Considering general standards, it wouldn’t have been particularly damaging, but it was a problem because the person talking about it was Eden.

Is it the same to say that there is a generation gap between you and someone you know and that there is a generation gap between you and Eden? Just as you overhear what others are saying, words spoken by people close to you have different weight.

In short, grunting now is a strong enough reaction. Even if someone I didn’t know said that and thought it was that way, they said that Eden was an old man, so I also suffered a certain amount of damage.

“In the end, even transcendental people have their own standards.”

“In the first place, a transcendent person is a being who has his own standards. A transcendent person uses his strength to match the standards of the world to his own standards, because he usually conforms to the world.”

“I have a lot to think about.”

“Think a lot. Originally, a transcendent person reaches a state by thinking a lot and reaching a state.”

“Yes, I also went through a lot of hardships when I reached transcendence.”

“Mary, what did you do?”

“Thanks to the devil, the Church of Christ denied their very existence and made a mess of it. In the end, they called something like a demon from another dimension? A devil? Anyway, they called it a god and made a mess of it…”

“Oh.”

“Once I killed them all, I was annoyed. I realized why even earthworms squirm when you step on them.”

“You must have had a hard time.”

“It’s normal. If I had any connections to the dimensional civilization, I would have contacted Dark Lord Castle a long time ago.”

The phantom gnome rules over the dimensional civilization of the demon-based civilization, so he is quite strict about it. That’s why they set dimensional laws and are strict with soul-related issues in the first place.

But demons and demons invade, steal souls and run amok? Well then, I said everything.

Absolute + Transcendent level demon kings attack each other and kill half of the demons there. In fact, if you don’t comply, it’s the same as killing everyone.

They’re so lucky… Mary, who is now a transcendental person, is just staying there without telling the phantom any news. If it were me, let alone putting in the effort myself, I would have called a phantom before the demon lord took over the world and watched that bastard become a punching bag.

Anyone who talks shit in front of a phantom is screwed.
