Chapter 17 – Episode 17- Suggestion (3)

After that, Jihye Kim used witchcraft several times and attacked her Kim Charyeok.

However, even in the rolling state, Kim Cha-ryeok manages to somehow escape by breaking her neck.

She even evaded Kim Ji-hye by kicking the wall with her feet and unfolding her eccentricity of spinning in the air.

At this point, I wondered if that guy might not be human.

I have understood to some extent the guy who jumped off the 4th floor of the school, holding a flying baseball with his hand and saying that if he did not eat protein on time, he would be in trouble.

Seeing that guy dodging the spatial teleportation shaman with animalistic senses, it was clear that he wasn’t human.

“… Look at this bastard?”

Kim Ji-hye twitched her eyebrows.

Previously, she had been Kim Ji-hye, who had been attacked at random by her enthusiasm, but seeing Kim Char-yeok, who kept avoiding her, seemed to be interested in something in her.

“Ha… Hanjun! He’s a psychic! And, there’s definitely something in his fingertips!”

Kim Cha-ryeok must have been nervous, rolling her eyes in all directions and shouting at me.

Kim Ji-hye made an even more interesting expression after hearing her words of Kim Cha-ryeok.

“Can you feel this?”

Jihye Kim raises her hand.

Then Kim Cha-ryeok was frightened and prepared to save again.

“… Hey, you bastard. This is a surprising thing, isn’t it?”

Jihye Kim took one of her cigarettes out of her pocket, and she mumbled.

Kim Ji-hye, who had been staring at her Kim Cha-ryeok for a while, flicked her hand, made her cigarette disappear, and walked into her living room.

Kim Cha-ryeok was again worried that Kim Ji-hye might not move her space, and she stared blankly behind him.

Kim Ji-hye smiled and sat down on her sofa.

“It’s fun.”

Kim Cha-ryeok asked what the hell was going on, and he looked back at me as if asking for an explanation.

I also didn’t know what the situation was, so I replied to Kim Cha-ryeok with the same expression.

* *

Sat down on the sofa, Kim Ji-hye called the two of us.

Kim Cha-ryeok was quite wary at first, but as time passed, he thought that Ji-hye Kim would not harm him anymore.

She approached Kim Ji-hye with curious eyes.

I also put my butt on the chair across from the sofa.

“Hanjun Kang, what is your friend doing?”

Jihye Kim looked at me and asked.

I took one look at her muscular bald head, Kim Cha-ryeok, and asked Ji-hye Kim.

“Hey, aren’t you a monster?”

“What kind of monster…”

As Jihye Kim crossed her legs, she affirmed to me.

“I am the general shaman of the Seoul branch for no reason. All shamans and monsters in Seoul are under my control.”

Then… I stared blankly at Kim Cha-ryeok.

When I heard that Kim Cha-ryeok was a monster and a shaman, he had his eyes twinkling violently.

In the first place, this guy was not only metal but also crazy about the subculture.

He is a guy who has countless light novels and comic books piled up at home.

It’s an extraordinary thing that happened to such a guy.

I couldn’t even imagine how excited Kim Cha-ryeok would be right now.

“Oh, there are some guys who aren’t under my care.”

Kim Ji-hye snapped her fingers as if she remembered something about her.

Kim Ji-hye, putting her cigarette in her mouth again, muttered with sharp eyes.

“The people-eating youkai bastards who attacked you last time… Or the shamans with the fucking thoughts. Except for those bastards, there’s no way I know about them.”

Kim Ji-hye stares at Kim Cha-reuk.

I swallowed my saliva at Kim Ji-hye’s sharp eyes, and I thought that perhaps Kim Cha-ryeok might be a monster with many stories like me.

However, Kim Ji-hye laughed and spit out her words as if she was full of energy.

“But this guy is just a human being. He’s just a 100% pure human with no yin or yang energy that is unique to youkai.”

Kim Cha-ryeok twitched his muscles at those words and replied.

“Well, I’m pretty sure all of these muscles were made with my own efforts.”

When I heard Kim Ji-hye’s definitive answer that she was not a monster, I was rather shocked.

So, are you saying that all the eccentricities that have been carried out so far have been the work of humans?

Kim Ji-hye smoked her cigarette for a moment, then let her speak.

“So, I wonder if this guy goes too.”

“Where are you?”

In response to my question, Jihye Kim pointed her finger at her own backside.

“The witchcraft in the other world, the Yokai Academy.”

When Kim Cha-ryeok heard that, he jumped up from his seat.

“Is this another world?!”

Seeing the guy who is already happy without any worries.

Somehow, I thought that I would be with him forever.

* *

Kim Ji-hye later briefly explained to Kim Cha-ryeok about the other side of the world.

Monsters and sorcerers.

Like I told you, I told you a lot of things in a nutshell.

Is it a secret about my birth or a secret about my identity?

Since my parents were shamans in that world, I pretended to be going that way too.

After hearing all of that, Kim Cha-ryeok seemed to be really interested, his hair shining and his muscles twitching.

After finishing her explanation, Kim Ji-hye let out a sigh.

“Actually, it had its original purpose, but the number of shamans related to ‘constitution’ has decreased so much these days… I ended up paying attention to it without even realizing it.”

Constitution?

Is it like body characteristics? As I was thinking, Kim Ji-hye added words as if she had read my mind.

“Shaman is divided into two categories. Most of the shaman who literally uses magic, and shaman who believes in a few selected ‘constitutions’ and beats them with their bodies.”

Jihye Kim raises her finger.

Then, Kim Cha-ryeok felt something and flinched.

Kim Ji-hye asked me if I had seen it, and she pointed at Kim Charyeok with her chin.

“That’s my constitution. Unlike normal sorcerers, I can’t use sorcery, but instead, I have a body that is more sensitive to sorcery than anyone else, so I can read the other person’s yin and yang.”

Kim Cha-ryeok nodded her head at Ji-hye Kim’s words.

“Even when I just jumped through the entire space, I felt something and avoided it, Hanjun.”

Anyway, it didn’t make much sense for even him to avoid space jumps.

The guy had read and avoided Jihye Kim before she used her magic.

When I thought about it, this seemed to make no sense.

“That’s why constitutional shamans have the disadvantage of not being able to use magic, but they are easy to feel the yin and yang five elements, and they graft it onto their physical abilities… I guess we’ll talk about this later.”

Kim Ji-hye looked back at Kim Cha-ryeok and asked.

“So, are you going to enter the other world?”

“Of course I go!”

Kim Charyeok pounded his chest and shouted.

“The reason I’ve been building muscles up until now is to survive if I’m transferred to another world!”

“…Were you real?”

Until now, I thought he was talking about another world with empty words, but it seemed that everything was ‘seriously’.

Kim Cha-ryeok looked at me and smiled.

“Then! Besides, my one and only best friend, Hanjun, how can I leave you alone when you’re gone!”

“… Young.”

Although he is ignorant and simple, I was slightly moved by his sincere words.

After that, ‘Another World!’ Seeing Kim Cha-reuk shouting, “I’m sorry,” I immediately cooled down.

“How come there is not a single normal person among the shamans related to certain constitutions?”

Kim Ji-hye felt a headache when she saw Kim Cha-ryeok, so she pressed her temple and bit her cigarette.

Kim Ji-hye munched her cigarette for a moment, then she let out a low moan, “Ah.”

“…Damn it. I forgot my original purpose because of that guy. Haa… I don’t have much time.”

Jihye Kim scratched her head.

For some reason, her dark circles seemed to have sunk down a little more.

Kim Ji-hye let out a deep sigh and snapped her fingers.

Then something small appeared in her hand.

Blue jewel.

After touching it, which looked like blue scales in a way, Kim Ji-hye handed it to me.

“Okay, take it.”

“What it this?”

When I asked while politely accepting it with both hands, Kim Ji-hye answered calmly.

“Yongringap.”

“A dragon glove…?”

“Yes, Yongrin-gap. If you put it on your stomach, it’s a divine thing that will dig into your body on its own, so stick it well. If you get a shock to the point of death, it will absorb the shock on its own instead.”

I was dubious and took the blue scales off my clothes and attached them to my stomach.

Then, to my surprise, as Kim Ji-hye said, the blue scales twitched and entered my stomach as if they were passing through my skin.

“Originally, I was able to block 7 times, but since your father used 5 times, there are 2 left. Remember that.”

Kim Ji-hye spat out those words, and she closed her eyes for a moment, as if she was lost in other thoughts.

When Kim Ji-hye opened her eyes, she saw a very fleeting emotion in Kim Ji-hye’s eyes, far from her usual coolness.

Looking at her appearance, she thought for some reason that Kim Ji-hye might be someone who had a deep relationship with my father.

“…Anyway, the reason I’m handing this over is just in case anything goes wrong, just like the monster that attacked you last time. Strange, shitty things keep happening these days. It’s just a matter of living in peace, with the dog-like monsters. Because of a shaman with an idiotic mind… Damn it.”

Jihye Kim scratches her head.

A few strands of her hair fell out from her stress.

She looks beautiful on the outside, but when she sees Kim Ji-hye, who seems to be under a lot of stress, she somehow feels sorry for her.

“And take this too.”

Kim Ji-hye rummaged through her pockets and handed over her amulet.

When she saw the yellow paper with red letters stacked on top of it, she looked unusual.

Let me swallow and ask, ‘What is this?’

Kim Ji-hye waved her hand nonchalantly, as if asking her to turn around.

When she returned her amulet, the number eight was written on it.

Just as I was rolling her head, trying to figure out the meaning, Kim Ji-hye jumped up to her body and spat out her words as if it were nothing.

“This is my phone number. I’ve already used that amulet, so you can just throw it away.”

For some reason, I felt empty.

Seeing me staring at her talisman with dejected eyes, Kim Ji-hye smiled.

“Before the two of you enter school, you need to know at least basic common sense… I’ll come to teach you sometime tomorrow, so please contact me.”

After all, tomorrow was the weekend.

It’s a weekend when time is full, so I can probably go out anytime according to Kim Ji-hye’s contact.

Kim Cha-ryeok next to me is also a guy who does nothing but exercise all day, so he must be the same as me.

Kim Ji-hye clicked her tongue at the pile of her liquor on her desk, then she waved her hand at us.

“Then, I’m leaving because I don’t have time. Drink, drink in moderation.”

After that, Kim Ji-hye flicked her hand.

Then, only me and Kim Cha-ryeok were left in the living room.

“… Han Joon.”

When we were left alone, Kim Cha-ryeok spoke to me in a trembling voice.

Frightened by the voice I’ve never heard in my life, let’s look back.

Kim Cha-ryeok was making a face of emotion with tears welling up.

“I wasn’t wrong. When I was in elementary school… Reading comic books and building my muscles with the mindset of wanting to go to a different world… It wasn’t a wrong choice.”

Kim Cha-ryeok jumped up and came to me with Yangju on the desk in his arms.

When I raised the question, “Why are you drinking when you’re not going to break up?”, He grinned, revealing his dry teeth.

“Welcome to men’s entrance to another world!”

I had no choice but to hang out with him in the end because of Kim Cha-ryeok’s appearance, which seemed so excited.

So, for a while, I had fun drinking alcohol in the room with Kim Cha-ryeok.
