Chapter 121 – Chapter 121- Origin Wisdom (10)

Sting- sting-.

The sound of grasshoppers rang in my ears.

As I listened to the familiar sound of grass insects in the mountains, I realized it naturally.

That I’m lying somewhere right now

Chewy.

Noticing that consciousness had returned, I opened my eyes.

The room was lit with lanterns, not fluorescent lights, and a faint crimson light streamed through the room.

“Woke up?”

And the one who greeted me when I woke up was Miho wearing a scarlet light.

Previously, it was Miho’s appearance with a mysterious charm.

As the light vermilion light was added on top of the pure white skin, it felt like the mysterious charm was further amplified.

As I stared blankly at Miho’s face, Miho blinked at me as if he was uncomfortable.

“Han Jun-ah, are you okay?”

As if proving that your affection for me is overflowing.

Miho started scanning me here and there with a very uneasy expression.

I wanted to appreciate that cute figure more, but if I relaxed any longer, Miho would tear his clothes.

I immediately answered Miho.

“It’s okay, I’m a little dizzy… But other than that, nothing.”

“Phew, I’m glad.”

Miho let out a sigh of relief.

But even for a moment, Miho raised one eye and asked me.

“Are you really okay?”

Salang, salang.

His tail waggled from side to side as if interrogating me.

“Because I’m really fine.”

I raised my hands and told him my condition again.

Still, Miho didn’t let go of his puzzled expression.

“You said it was the same when you came out to the trial. At that time, Hanjun, do you know what you did? You staggered to the pond, put his face in it and came out with a koi?

“Ah.”

Miho’s words brought up hazy memories from the past.

You did all sorts of things in a dizzy situation where your eyes were spinning.

“It was definitely weird then, but now it’s really good. Now… Look at it.”

I hugged Miho.

“Ha… Hanjunah~?”

It was Miho who tried to hide his twitchy lips and acted like he was embarrassed.

As if Miho’s triangular ears and tail couldn’t do that, they stood upright.

I stared blankly at Miho in my arms.

No matter how you look at it, it was really pretty.

It was a fact that I had known before, but the feeling I felt in this room where there were only the two of us was different.

I looked at Miho’s face, which was illuminated with a faint scarlet light, and reached out my hand.

“Ha… Han Jun-ah…”

Swoop.

He stroked his soft cheek.

After deeply inhaling Miho’s scent once again, I admired it once again.

“It’s new, but it’s very pretty.”

“Hee..Hehe.”

Miho hiccupped and panicked.

This time, it seemed to be really surprised, and the ears and tail had also stopped.

He clung even tighter to the mischievous Miho and threw a joke.

“Honey, shall we make a cute one?”

“… Yes!”

However, at those words thrown as a joke, Miho’s switch turned on.

Miho widened her red eyes even more.

Snap.

My wrist, which had been caressing Miho’s face, was grabbed by Miho.

As if telling me to stop thinking about running away, Miho climbed onto my leg and told me.

“Make a baby! Now… Right now!”

“Now… Wait a minute.”

“One kid who looks like Seobang and one kid who looks like me… For now, just the two of us…!”

Miho tied my waist with both legs.

His eyes widened, and Miho reached out his two hands and grabbed my face.

“Heh..Hehe… Mr. Han Jun.”

Just as Miho was about to attack me, I heard the sound of the door opening.

We reflexively turned our gaze to the open door.

There, Imina, who was embarrassed, was looking at us as well.

“Ah… Well.”

Already I was scratching my cheek and pulling her tail.

Imi, who rolled her eyes here and there, as if looking for something to say, let her laugh out loud.

“Ha..Haha! Jebu, come to eat. That… Miho did a little bit of what he was doing. If you come late, the meal gets cold~? Well, it could be because it’s hot, um… It could be. Anyway, the food is important… Well.”

Drooling.

Although it was Imina who pretended nothing was wrong and closed the door.

Seeing my tail waving in all directions of hers, I could guess at a glance what my status was.

“Ha… Han Jun-ah, I’m sorry. I came in to wake you up for dinner… By mistake.”

Miho covered her face with both hands as if she was ashamed.

“It’s okay, I started first. Let’s go eat first.”

We got up from the juseom juseom seat.

Tofu sushi, grilled mackerel.

This was the menu for dinner tonight.

These, placed on each table, boasted an amazing taste.

The tofu sushi was sweet and salty, and the grilled mackerel was moderately light and savory.

Having passed out without eating lunch, I hurriedly stuffed the rice.

I filled my stomach and looked around.

Not only me, but the tailed fox clan seemed to be having a satisfying meal.

“As expected, home-cooked food is the best.”

Miho was eating tofu sushi with a happy expression wagging her tail.

I think I heard a rumor somewhere in the past that a fox youkai likes married women.

Whether the rumor is true, the tailed foxes in front of me were eating the mackerel without even touching it.

“My brother-in-law, eat this.”

After eating all the tofu sushi, Lee Mi-na looked down at the mackerel and handed it to me.

“Oh, it’s fine.”

“No, just eat mine. I’m the groom, so I have to eat a lot.”

“……”

It seemed like patronizing, but why?

In my eyes, it seemed that Imina did not like to eat mackerel.

After all, I had already taken her mackerel and handed her one of my fried tofu sushi.

“Thank you, brother-in-law, heehee.”

Apparently my prediction was right.

During such a peaceful dinner, Lee Mi-ryeong spoke to me.

“Son-in-law, how are you feeling?”

“Thanks for taking good care of me, I think I’m fine. I’m a little dizzy… But not enough to worry about it.”

Lee Mi-ryeong smiled with satisfaction.

“My son-in-law is the first person to regain such a condition in one day.”

“Okay?”

“Well, in the first place, the space where trials are held is a complex space, so just entering it is a huge shock. In the past, some youkai even vomited blood.”

“… I’m really glad.”

When Lee Mi-ryeong let out a sigh of relief at those creepy words, she let out a deep smile as if she was cute.

Slurp.

Lee Mi-ryeong gracefully lifted her green tea, and after she took a sip, she asked me a question.

“By the way, son-in-law, may I ask what you saw in the ordeal? The previous answers were so disorganized.”

“… Ah.”

Recalling the memory of naturally spitting out the koi, I hurriedly explained the memory.

After hearing all of my explanation, Lee Mi-ryeong burst into laughter.

“So your son-in-law jumped into the pond. To see if he can breathe in the water.”

“Yes, I must have been insane at the time.”

“Whoa, that’s an interesting story. It’s an interesting story… A blue dragon.”

Lee Mi-ryeong was lost in her thoughts.

Lee Mi-ryeong, who closed and opened her eyes, looked at me blankly.

“But son-in-law, I think you have a question. If you have any questions, ask this mother-in-law.”

“Ah, it looks obvious.”

“Then, haven’t you been staring at this mother-in-law’s face since before? Did you have other thoughts?”

Lee Mi-ryeong licks her lips coquettishly.

Knowing that if I got caught up in that answer here, I would be dragged into the depths, so I ignored it and asked the question I had been thinking about before.

“I found out about breathing in water for the first time today. That’s why.”

I swallowed my saliva.

“Is that human?”

“……”

Lee Mi-ryeong didn’t say anything.

“There’s no human that breathes in water anywhere. My mother is already a serpent, so it’s a bit strange for me to even be a human.”

Lee Mi-ryeong silently sipped her green tea and then opened her mouth.

“Son-in-law. It seems Kim Ji-hye didn’t say anything.”

“Yeah, I didn’t say anything about that.”

“Yes, there’s no way Kim Ji-hye would tell me. She would have raised her son-in-law to be a pure-blood shaman and then entrusted him with the shadow family.”

As expected, Kim Ji-hye seemed to be aware of her constitution to some extent.

Recalling her father’s saga and Kim Ji-hye, who was bizarrely obsessed with her shadow family, she also thought that she could be like that.

Lee Mi-ryeong secretly looked at my expression and made a strange expression.

“You don’t seem very disappointed, son-in-law?”

“Yes, it’s because you’ve done so many things in the first place.”

“Cuk-Cuk-Cuk. It’s a pity.”

Mi-ryeong Lee tapped her table a couple of times with her slender fingers as if she was interested, and then she said to me.

“If I had to assert my son-in-law’s identity now, I think I could answer that he’s still human.”

“Still…?”

“That’s right. Imoogi’s blood, no, dragon’s blood is so thick that it can’t be used unless it blooms.”

Flowering.

It was a word that seemed important at first glance.

She was about to ask him a question right away, but Lee Mi-ryeong spoke to me first.

“Let’s talk about this for today. Talking any more seems out of place.”

And after these words, Lee Mi-ryeong jumped up from her seat.

“The next trial is in two days. Rest in peace until then.”

“Ah, yes.”

As if she wouldn’t give her anything more to say, Lee Mi-ryeong left her seat.

A chilly atmosphere pervaded the table.

Imina and Miho looked at me.

I laughed as I ate the mackerel as if nothing was wrong.

In my head, I kept thinking about dragon blood.
