Chapter 2015 – [Good God, Bad God, and God Slayer]

Me, Mary, and Mavila. The three of them talked around the campfire. Then, Ma Villa takes out one of her pots and asks if she wants to eat.

“Have you eaten anything?”

“Oh, I haven’t done it yet. I’ve just opened up.”

“Then, let’s eat it while we cook. It’s nothing special, but…”

“I don’t know if I can be treated like this, with a bonfire and a meal.”

“What? Anyway, we’ll arrive in the village tomorrow. We can replenish our supplies there, so it’s okay to shake off the rest while serving the guests.”

Even if you say that, it’s not easy to treat a stranger you’ve never met before.

He put the pot on the campfire and added the ingredients along with the water. I tear up the meat that looks like it’s been salted and add a handful of rice… But since it’s a little long, I add a handful of long-grain rice, like indica rice, not Korean rice.

What was added in there was something that looked like a brown lump similar to a potato. I have a vague idea of ​​what the others are, but it seems to be a unique breed of this place.

He must have noticed my gaze and started talking about the ingredients he was putting in.

“I happened to discover a ratna tree a while ago. Thanks to that, I no longer have to worry about food.”

“I see.”

I don’t know what Ratna is, but it’s a lie anyway. However, seeing as there was no malicious intent in the lie, it gave the strong impression that he was trying to hide something. We still don’t know why it’s like that, so we’ll just move on.

The mixed oatmeal, which was made with ingredients and seasoned with a little salt, quickly started to boil and cook. Even though there were not many ingredients, a better smell than expected began to spread.

The other ingredients are ordinary, so maybe it’s something called Ratna? It smells strange, like boiling savory meat broth.

Eventually, the food was finished, and we put it on a plate and shared the mixed oatmeal together. The only ingredients were rice, beef jerky pieces, and a lump called ratna that I added earlier, but it looks quite delicious.

Me and Mary also start eating. My first meal here was a late-night snack, so I felt a bit lethargic, but it was okay as it was an opportunity to taste the unique ingredients of this place.

“Oh…”

The first thing I did was spoon up something called Ratna. Something like a brown lump was the source of a delicious smell, and even though it wasn’t boiled for long, it was cut with a spoon as gently as a well-boiled radish or dongpo meat. When you eat it with the soup, it has a soft texture and a rich flavor.

I just heard an analogy called Dongpayuk, but it really is like Dongpayuk. However, even though it is not meat, it tastes like meat, which is quite surprising.

Would you say that it’s like a large bean, with the taste of soy meat and real meat mixed in half-and-half? It feels rich in protein and the taste is very good without any unpleasant feeling or anything like that.

Did you say ratna? I think I’ll find out what kind of food this is later and if it’s okay, I can take it and grow it over there. I’m not sure yet, but it looks like the fruit of something, not a living thing…

“Oh, this is delicious.”

“Right?”

Mary seems to have the same thoughts as me. Eden will like it if you take it.

So I was able to enjoy my first meal in this world. After the meal, I spend time talking with Mavila.

“Where are you two going?”

“I’m traveling looking for a place to settle down, so I don’t have a specific place in mind. If there’s a good place, I plan to live there.”

“Oh, I thought you were going on a pilgrimage as a couple, but it seems like you weren’t. I hope you two find a good place to settle down.”

If you look at the fact that he purely blesses our future path, he is quite a good person. On the contrary, he is a person who likes people so much that I am worried that he might get caught somewhere… Hmm.

I deliberately did not ask about religion-related questions. I thought it would be better to find another way because I felt like I was hiding it and if I talked about it for no reason, it would only ruin the atmosphere.

Afterward, she returned to our tent to sleep and Mary asked her about it.

“Why don’t you ask about religion? That person looks like a priest or priest who worships one of the two gods here.”

“If he wanted to reveal it, he would have revealed it. Seeing that he deliberately kept it secret, I think it might be related to the religious conflict here.”

“Oh, that could be true. Then, maybe we should talk separately after building trust. But won’t we break up when we enter the village tomorrow?”

“Well, even if I don’t like it, I feel like we’ll meet again.”

Since this is an issue triggered by the Easter Egg of the Absolute Creator, even if they separate, they will be able to meet later. So, I think you can take your time and watch carefully.

After a short conversation, Mary and I went to sleep. The tent isn’t that big, so it’s a small tent with only a place to put our luggage when we lay down, but I liked it even more because of that. The sense of security of being together in a small space is quite good.

Maybe that’s why Mary looked like she couldn’t sleep, but she was even more energetic.

“Ah, good. If only it were like today.”

“I don’t think I slept well.”

“Sleep and vitality are separate things. There are cases where people who stay up all night become energized rather than drowsy once they pass a certain level.”

“I don’t think we’ve crossed the threshold!!!!!”

I think it’s a good thing that we played a trick so that Mavila couldn’t hear our conversation. Otherwise, the atmosphere would have become strange.

First, we got up, packed up our bags, and headed to the village with him. Since I walked before sunrise, I was able to reach the village by morning.

“I guess this is the end of my companionship. I plan to stay here for a while and then leave… I hope to see you next time.”

“Yes, I am very indebted to you. I hope you are doing well in your work.”

Likewise, lies. The story about staying in the village for a while seems to be a lie. The situation seems complicated when you keep lying about something normal… Is it also a religious issue?

First, we went through a separate inspection at the village entrance and were able to enter. They are wary because they are outsiders, but they still let them in.

“What is the purpose?”

“I’m looking for a settlement. Ah, this is my wife.”

“I see. There are no horses or cows, so the toll is 2 dong per person.”

“Here it is.”

“And don’t cause trouble in the village, strangers. It doesn’t matter if you stay, but if you cause trouble…”

“Yes, I will remain quiet.”

Because it was a fairly large village, there was a toll fee. Thanks to the money we had made in advance, we were able to pay the toll and enter without any problems.

Mabila also had that much money, so he was able to get in and out easily. Since it is a fairly large village, there is a lot to explore… So first, we decided to find a place to stay.

In a place like this, there must be a place like an inn. After asking a villager, I found the only inn in the village. We managed to find a large inn and the inn owner, who looked like a rat, welcomed us.

“Welcome. Accommodation is 3 dong per night. If meals are included, it is 5 dong.”

I haven’t gotten used to it yet, so I don’t know if the prices here are cheap or expensive.

First, you pay the price. Then, I left my luggage in my room and walked around the village purchasing supplies needed for the trip.

It’s not a market, but it’s a place that sells something, so there was a certain amount of things to look at, but although there were a lot of things that looked familiar or similar, there wasn’t a ratna. If Ma Villa said she discovered it by chance, I think it was a common item.

“It looks like they don’t sell it here.”

“Shouldn’t we get it separately later? Buy only what you need for now.”

“What are you going to do for dinner?”

“Why don’t we eat at the inn?”

Although the inn said meals are included, they only serve breakfast and dinner. Hagistory: Lunch was something I didn’t eat until I had some time to spare, so it’s worth knowing.

Still, they provided dinner, so I decided to eat it at the inn… But it was a bit worse than I thought. What should I say, a medieval stew of eternity? It’s something slightly better than that.

“I think I just added the leftovers and boiled them properly. It’s not that I can’t eat it, but that doesn’t mean it’s delicious.”

“Honestly, it’s just like that, isn’t it?”

The mixed oatmeal I ate while sleeping with Mabila was much more delicious. No, to be exact, I think it was because the ratna he put in there was delicious.

Since there was nothing special in the village, I think I’ll leave right away and look for something called Ratna. Although that is not the main purpose of this trip, if possible, it is better to secure things to take home in advance so that you can enjoy it more later. Finish your work in advance.

Meanwhile, I looked for Mavila, but even though there was an inn in the village, he was not there. Perhaps it was because he would leave soon and there was no need to stay, as if he was lying when he said he would stay here for a while.

As we were contemplating whether we should follow him or stay only one night and chase after him, a guard came into the inn with a murmur.

“What is it?”

I had an ominous feeling that their target was us. I was quite quiet in the village and didn’t do anything, so I wonder what’s going on.

A man who looked like the guard captain we saw at the entrance to the village looked around the inn, found us, and shouted. I wondered what the reason was…

“We received an accusation that there are Ziana people here!!!! Outsiders, are you guys!!!!”

“…?”

This is a single nation with no separate ethnic groups. It can be seen as similar to Korea. So, it seemed like what they were talking about was a religious issue.

The guard captain pointed his spear at us. It’s impossible for them to hurt us at their level anyway, but they can at least pretend to be scared.

“Ashuna!!! These are the guys!!!! These are the Jiana guys!!!!”

The innkeeper, who thought we looked like rats, pointed his finger at us and shouted. Looking at the tail, it looks like the guy who reported it is that guy… On the other hand, I also think that the culprit is that guy.

I decided to try my defense by slowly assessing the situation. Before Gianna and all, we just came here yesterday, so we have no relationship with them at all. Oh, I don’t know about Mavila.

“We are just a couple wandering around looking for a place to settle down. Do you have any proof that you are calling us Jiana?”

“You will find out if you look for it. Look for it!!!”

Soon, at the command of the guard commander, several soldiers broke into the room we were staying in and started searching.

It’s foolish to expect the principle of presumption of innocence or something like that in a medieval world, but the attitude is slightly annoying. Shall I tear it all down?

Then a soldier came out with something in his hand. In his hand was a small wooden statue, which was so poorly made that it was hard to make out, but it appeared to be a woman without a right arm and with an eyepatch over her eye.

“Ashuna!!! I found a pagan wooden statue in their room!!!!”

“Of course it was Gianna!!!!”

No, that’s not ours.

Looking at the rat-like expression of the innkeeper who was smiling secretly next to me, I guess he left that in our room while we were away. It seems like they are trying to get rid of their wealth by framing an outsider like this.

Once I understood the situation, I decided to move slowly. Mary was also being persecuted for her religion, so she didn’t seem to be very happy, so she was about to throw it all away and end it… At that moment, Marville jumped out from among the onlookers.

“Stop!!!!!”

“What? Are you planning to interfere?”

“They are not Gianna. So stop persecuting them!!!”

“Then what is that wooden statue? Isn’t it clear evidence that it is Jiana!!!”

“That’s…”

After hesitating for a moment, he finally shouted with a stern expression. He revealed to them something that he had kept secret even from those of us who had accompanied him for a short time, a fact that would not be treated very well even if we saw it now.

“It’s mine!!!”

“… What?”

“It looks like my luggage got mixed up while I was accompanying him. That wooden statue is mine!!!”

“Are you saying that you are confessing yourself to be Gianna?”

“That’s right. I am Jiana. This is the proof!!!!”

Ma Villa took out her wooden statue from her bosom. It was a real wooden statue that was carved much more delicately than the one they brought and felt unusual. It looks shiny and well-maintained, so it looks like the real thing.

The people around him realized that he was Giana and withdrew from the surrounding area. On the contrary, the soldiers surrounded him and aimed their spears at him, preventing him from escaping.

“They are not guilty. If it is a sin because I am Jina, I am the only guilty person here.”

“You’re such a stupid heretic that you confessed so innocently… Arrest him!!!”

Okay, that’s it.

Mavila revealed the truth that he had been hiding, even telling white lies, to prevent us from being falsely accused, even though he only accompanied us briefly. You might die as a result.

The first relationship I met in this world through the Easter egg of the Absolute Creator was likely to be a good one, but I never thought I would meet someone like that. Then it’s worth saving.

I broke the spear of a nearby soldier and threw him away. The mass of an adult male is thrown at high speed, causing several other soldiers to fall and roll on the floor.

“What, what!!! Catch it!!!!!”

“These kids!!! They are foreigners!!!”

Of course, among the remaining guys, those who are quick to grasp the situation stab their spears at me. However, the stab, which was meaningless and not worth blocking, was blocked by the force field and could not pierce a single piece of clothing.

“What?!”

“Are you done?”

Woojijik!!!!

I grab the blade of the spear that was trying to stab me and crush it with my bare hands. The spear blade made of iron was shattered into a lump of metal.

Although it was clearly not an ordinary sight, people’s reactions were somewhat strange. Even though I understand that they were shaking, it was because there was someone who knelt down on the spot and started praying.

“Hawk, I blocked the window with my bare body and crushed the blade with my bare hands…!!!”

“It is Kishatriya!!!!!”

Kishatriya? What is that again?

But from their attitude, I could tell that they were like Gianna, but something different. She was looked upon with envy and awe by Kishatriya, while Gianna was the object of her ostracism and persecution.

I don’t know why I misunderstood, but let’s try this first.
