Chapter 484 – [A Guide for Transcendentalists Traveling in the Post-Apocalypse]

Ki-young’s city was so huge that he could outrun any city he had seen before.

It’s not just a matter of width. The huge tower-shaped structure in the center, visible even beyond the city walls, gives a sense of déjà vu.

A huge tower in the center of the city…A big city…Kuh, the head! In particular, it feels like the first episode of reincarnation!

“That tower…”

“Is this a building you know?”

“As far as I remember, it is known as a super-luxurious hot spring vacation resort skyscraper. It looks like only half of half of it remains, but it has its own shape.”

“It fell off about half of it, but is it about the same as 63 Building?

“Somehow, it was said that Kiyoung’s city is easy to get water, so it was to dig a hot spring.”

“Looks like you’ve got the site right. Real estate is expensive if you’re aiming for a shot.”

Hot springs are, after all, water. As the greatest power here is water, if there was a facility to dig a hot spring, it could be used to develop a water source.

Come to think of it, water lizards have a lot of moisture, but they live underground, right? So, isn’t it a game to win if there is a facility to dig up an underground water source? Roughly like that

“Let’s leave the drum number first and go in”

“OK”

“You guys know the meaning, but you often say strange things.”

“Leave it. I just think the language is slightly different.”

Ignoring Baek-hee’s opinion, I entered the city. It’s much more developed than the city I’ve seen before, and there are tons of people walking around.

…….I don’t know if it’s my personal opinion, but it seems that there are some pretty bad quality guys, right?

“Public security differs depending on the taste of the city mayor. There are places that accept mad dogs as long as they don’t cause problems, but what?”

“I see”

Having killed so many people, I know it well and am sure of it. There are a lot of guys who have killed more than one person. Also, there are often people who have killed more than 10 people… More than 100 people, about one every 30 minutes.

It’s a natural thing in this world, but it’s a strange feeling to see something you wouldn’t normally see. Do you think it’s annoying to keep bothering you?

In a way, it may be homophobia. Do you think I’m going to be friendly with a bastard who killed so many people? It’s like spitting in your own face, but I think murder is a bad thing.

“Still, it’s okay to have improved. Ah, Jin-gyo, do you have a bad relationship with this side?”

“Is there really no reason to complain about your previous job?”

“It’s rather the opposite. It’s my job, so can’t I just complain a lot?”

“Ah, then I have to do it. The salary is low, the mission is difficult, and there is a risk of dying like last time….

“But isn’t it too much of a bat to attach to us in an instant?”

“It’s okay because there is a chance to win.”

“If there was no chance of winning, I would have betrayed you.”

“Ah, no”

First of all, I was trustworthy, so I took Jin-gyo as a party, but there is absolutely nothing for humans.

If a human decides to kill me, the possibility will only converge to zero, but not zero, so the human potential is infinite.

So thank the absolutes of twisting. Do you understand Human?

“The market here is big… There are more.”

“I wonder if there will be a big village, a gambling house, and a black market?”

“Isn’t it a bit like saying that Changgwan is an outspoken village?”

“In the end, it’s the same thing to refer to, so I’m going to use it in the worst language!”

“It’s my fault for mixing things up like that with you.”

Anyway, according to Ruri, it means that the infrastructure is in place.

Ruri headed to the black market to sell the spirit stone and other by-products of the sand dragons she obtained earlier.

“Originally, the black market pays more. If you sell to a wild dog den, you can’t even raise cash, and if you sell there, even if there is a commission, they will handle it quickly.”

“But it’s openly in the city, so why is it on the black market?”

“Because if it’s necessary, I’ll have to run away. I’ll have to find a way to escape when the reinforcement disease serum, which can only be produced by the aristocrats, comes out.”

“If you make a mistake, the attitude of pretending not to notice is no different from the days of the Empire and now.”

“In the end, it is said that each place where people live is the same.”

“Hmm, I can talk to you.”

“Well, that’s pretty much it.”

The two of them chatted a little to see if their story had worked. It’s a good situation that Zion has more people to talk to, so I go with him with something to sell.

Since it was a black market, the building was not very fancy. However, it was not small, so even considering the current technology, it was a fairly large building. Roughly 1,200 people can enter at once. It’s roughly that size.

“Welcome. You look like a wild dog. Do you have anything to sell?”

“The spirit stones of the four dragons and major by-products, etc.”

“Yes?”

“Here”

When Ruri puts the real thing on the table, her attitude changes. On the table was placed an oversized, glossy star candy-like spirit stone the size of Ruri’s head.

It is something that seems unusual even to those who do not know it. It’s not like Baek-hee used it as a jewel during the imperial days.

“If it’s something like this… Yes, I understand. Do you have any other items?”

“No”

“The auction fee will be 20% of the successful bid amount, but please check that.”

No, it’s just like renting a place, but 20% of the winning bid, isn’t the fee crazy?

But I can’t listen to it. If you openly express your dissatisfaction with the black market, which even nobles secretly protect, most of them will just suck it up. Ruri also lived because of me. If you encountered raiders last time, did you just search for them?

“If you leave it alone, it will sell on its own. Since it’s an auction, if we don’t unite, we’ll make more than our fair share of money, so let’s go with confidence.”

“Should I go buy something I need…”

“Ki Young’s city can be bathed in water if there is money”

“Oh! That’s nice!”

“Even if it’s not possible, it costs 100 yen per person?! Aaaaa!!!!”

“Let’s first think about who made that money thanks to”

Even the money I earned from Ruri would be enough to add up to tens of thousands of water lizards and sand dragons. But you don’t have to act like a miser with only 100.

Come to think of it, I came here and only washed with a cloth soaked in water, but I couldn’t soak myself in the water. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, and I’m honestly attracted to it.

However, what Ruri said was 100 spirits per person, ‘even if you can’t do it’. It sounds like it actually costs more than that.

Instead of staying at an inn, they stayed at a luxurious inn run by the city, and it cost 30 yeong per person per night. Since there are 5 of us in our party, it means that it costs 150 spirits even if we can’t do it.

One young is a bowl of soup, but with that money, I would buy 150 bowls of soup! I like everything delicious, so I don’t judge by cost performance, but when I think about it, I think this is a bit too much!

“The facilities are okay, but it’s scary that washing is separate.”

“500 yen for a bath for 5 people… Ghhhhh!

“Actually, it was a little uncomfortable. And spending money when you have money helps to revitalize the economy.”

“It’s economic activation, it’s nabal, and my wallet circumstances can’t activate. What are you talking about!”

Water is so expensive that some people die of thirst, and the luxury of bathing in water is something that only those with money can do.

Even so, the reasonable price of 100 yen was highly likely because this is an area where hot springs spring up. Considering that the water I bought to drink when eating soup in the city I was in before was 5 bottles of water in a small handful, I couldn’t help but increase it to 20 times that amount for washing.

Anyway, being managed in the city is not really a security issue, but I receive hot spring water in the bath through a water pipe connected somewhere. Looking at it, these guys make me feel that it is not a world where technology has not developed, but a world where technology has been lost.

“Keueueueu, now that it’s like this, I’m going to go in! I’ll pay for it!”

“Are you planning on staying there for three days until you go in and get puffy?”

“No, you have to drink it all.”

“……?”

“The water that the pretty girls wash… This is very precious.”

“Ah, Ruri was a pervert.”

I was about to go in to take a shower after a while… But I realized that there are no separate baths for men and women here.

Meme? What the hell? Is it the trap of the Absolute of Destiny? Why is there a sudden confusion here?

Oh, if you think about it, maybe it is. Mixed bathing was rather commonplace in ancient times or the Middle Ages, so it’s only natural that this place has fallen behind in civilization to that level.

If there is water to soak in, it is natural to go in together to save it. It is not a simple custom, but a realistic reason considering efficiency.

“Will there be no water to drink and overflow with water to wash? It’s usually a mixed bath here.”

“There is a distinction between men and women, so how can you go into the same bath?!?!”

“Yeah, the empire is ruined~, if you twist it… You know?”

“Then I’ll wash later. You can all wash before going in.”

“You’re going into the bath where the pretty girls used to go?”

“Then should I go in first?”

“You’re going to put pretty girls in the water you wash yourself with?”

“Hey!!!! Do you want to keep asking unanswered questions like that? And you won’t be among the beautiful girls!”

“But realistically, it wouldn’t be a joke if the water we washed in went in.”

“What did you say?”

“Even if Xion and Baekhee are okay, how bad do you think Nana and Jinkyo are?”

“Uh…….”

“Because it’s the first time I’ve been soaking in a hot tub in my life? The soup will come out without a joke, but is that okay? Oh, maybe it’s rather a reward?”

“Can a girl do that?”

“Because a face doesn’t make you dodge arrows. And if you’re pretty, you’ll become a target and end up in a bad way.”

I have no choice but to take a mixed bath. But Ruri and Jinkyo don’t seem to care too much, and since Shion is my wife, we usually get along well together, so there’s no problem.

Me? I’m not from the Ryu family, so would I blush for seeing a woman naked? It’s just a little embarrassing.

The only problem was Baekhee. Ethics was also at the level of those days, and it was not easy to choose a male and female seven-year-old seat.

“Then don’t go in.”

“I don’t like that”

“Then it’s decided.”

Covering the important parts with a towel and entering the bath, the hot spring water soaks the body.

It’s not unpleasant even though it’s originally hot, but rather, the outside temperature is hotter than the hot spring, so it feels cool.

It’s been a while since I washed it, and the oil on my body was washed away, so I felt very good. Oh, but now that I think about it, there is no shampoo or anything like that. I had to buy some soap.

“Turn it off…”

“Don’t say that you saw a man naked”

“That’s not the problem, you…”

Baekhee’s body is quite attractive. Oh, of course, there is no sexual sentiment or interest here. It’s just an objective evaluation.

Everyone except me is a woman, but there is only one naked body that I am interested in. It feels so good to be in my arms right now.

“I’m not interested in your naked body. Even if it’s your wife, I don’t know.”

“…Was that your preference?”

“Don’t mean that!!!!”

Come to think of it, if you say that to Xion, who has the looks of an elementary school student, it would be harsh. I don’t like elementary school students, my wife just looks like an elementary school student!!!!

Baek-hee looked at me and Shion alternately. Shion’s hair gets wet in the hot spring water, and water drops form on the tip of her beautiful silver hair and fall to the surface. It is as if a fairy came down to take a bath.

I think I heard somewhere that a woman who washes is pretty many times over… Anyway, the bottom line is that my wife is the prettiest!

“It’s like a fairy and a beast. I also think that I’m not inferior in appearance, but compared to your wife, I can’t compare.”

“You’re cursing me for being ugly now”

“Honestly, isn’t that right? No wonder I’m super pretty”

“How did the two of them get married? Honestly, I’m curious about that.”

“It’s too long to talk.”

To tell the story of how I met Zion, I have to go back a very long time. Did you meet roughly from the 2nd episode and got married in the 3rd episode?

Even after that, there were times when she hadn’t met her in her reincarnation, but the bond got stronger as she built it. Those who think that love is just a hormone function are because they do not really love. Rather, love is dangerous and meaningful to those who have reached the transcendental level.

Love is an emotion that can save the world, but can also destroy it.

If Zion wants it, I’ll save the world too, but if the world makes Zion dangerous, I’ll turn the world upside down and kill them all.

To be honest, in order for Zion, who has no lifespan, to die, the only way to die is by murder or suicide, but if Shion is killed by someone, then I will give up my humanity and go up the road to kill the person who killed Zion.

For me, Zion’s value is more than the realm of a road.

Then Shion praises me and her hand goes to the obvious. To be precise, between the groin covered with a towel

“I am also my husband.”

“Uh huh, I can’t use bad hands in front of others”

“Big big! Really big!”

“Hey!! Ruri you!!!”

“I’ve grown a little bigger with this body. Come to think of it, I’ve never done it with this body, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get in.”

“…Are men usually that size?”

“Hey! What if someone who used to talk about the distinction between men and women gets interested?!”

It’s nice to have a cool wash after a while.

……But somehow, I hope it’s my misunderstanding that this feels like the night before the storm.
