Chapter 24 – Episode 24- Preparing for the Academy (2)

“Hanjun Kang, you still don’t know how important your existence is.”

Kim Ji-hye smokes her cigarette and flicks her fingers.

That action, used as a trigger for witchcraft, would have two consequences.

Cigarettes disappear, or new mouths.

I see it every time, but I’m still staring blankly at Kim Ji-hye’s lips at that strange behavior, and Kim Ji-hye clicks her tongue at me as if telling me to concentrate.

“You may have heard of Lee Mi-ho’s clan being the Tailed Fox clan.”

“Ah, yes.”

When she made an appointment with Miho in the music room, this is what she was told.

It is said that youkai have a clan, each with its own characteristics.

When I nodded her head, Kim Ji-hye immediately explained.

“Your mother, Isia, was from the ‘Yamata no Orochi’ clan, a clan that is revered as sacred among the youkai clan.”

“Yamata no Orochi?”

“Yes, Yamata no Orochi. Even if you think of it as an Imoogi, it doesn’t make much of a difference, just think of it as an Imoogi.”

A few days ago, Kim Ji-hye gave me a picture.

The images of my mother smiling kindly and my tall-looking father came to mind.

Among them, realizing that her mother had scales growing on her cheeks, I nodded her head to Jihye Kim.

“During the clan’s succession, the youkai who went to the brink of reaching the realm of a dragon, which I thought was just a mythical realm, is your mother. Do you understand what I mean?”

Kim Ji-hye stared at me and continued her words.

“It means that a real ‘god’ has appeared in a clan that was worshiped as a myth. No matter what you imagine, your mother’s ripple effect at that time was more than that.”

“You’ve been amazing.”

I had never seen a mother before, but when she said that she was amazing for no reason, I unknowingly put on a satisfied smile.

Kim Ji-hye chewed her cigarette carefully as if she didn’t like me, then spit out her words.

“No, your father was more amazing. Your father raised the shadow family, which was an ordinary family, to the top of the family.”

Shadow family?

When I tilted my head, Kim Ji-hye explained that she knew that.

“If yōkai have clans, sorcerers have clans. Each family has their proud sorcery or the name of the founder of the sorcery in front of the clan.”

“Then, the magic my father used must have been shadow magic.”

“Right.”

Widely.

Jihye Kim snaps her fingers.

Then, something rose from Jihye Kim’s shadow.

Person.

No, the shadowy person, covered in black outline, stepped out of Kim Ji-hye’s shadow and stood tall.

“This is the shadow shikigami. It was a low-class magic that everyone looked down on, but your father became the strongest shaman of his time with this ignorant magic.”

“Oh oh…”

As I looked at the shadow man, her eyes twinkling, Kim Ji-hye nodded her head with a satisfied smile.

“Yes, it was a ridiculous achievement. Using the shadow as a catalyst, which everyone thought was insignificant, and creating the world with it.”

“My mother, along with her father, created the world over there.”

At my words, Kim Ji-hye kept her silence, and she chewed her cigarette again.

“I made it, but I’m sure she only helped. Because the concept of creation didn’t exist for her in the first place.”

“Is it real?”

When I looked up at Jihye Kim with her sullen expression, Jihye Kim clicked her tongue and corrected her words.

“…Yes, I’m surehehelped a lot. But the ratio of your father to your mother is six to four, so your father has a slight edge.”

Apparently, Kim Ji-hye had a bad feeling about the monster.

Even if she pretends to be the general shaman of the Seoul branch, she is a high-ranking shaman, so it may be because she has a strong pride in being a shaman.

To the extent that she acts out her feelings openly.

After Kim Ji-hye finished her explanation, she asked me.

“How much do you realize now? How much you mean to the world out there.”

The best shaman of the time, and a youkai who was close to a god.

I, the child of those who even ended the war.

Even though I was a beginner shaman who could only use the payroll law, I understood that the existence of ‘me’ had a lot of meaning.

However, since he had not yet experienced the other side of the world, mere explanation was insufficient.

“I understood it in my head, but I still don’t know what the world is like over there, so I can’t really feel it.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out once you get to the other side.”

Kim Ji-hye silently sucked on her cigarette, then she looked at me.

Kim Ji-hye, who was staring at me with eyes filled with various emotions, said plainly.

“So, be careful.”

“Yes…?”

“Be careful, no matter how much you are the son of the shaman and the monster who ended the war. There are many beasts who don’t like you.”

Jihye Kim crushed a cigarette with her hand.

Like a cigarette crumpled in the air, Kim Ji-hye furrowed her eyebrows.

“The top-headed bastards occupying positions in the other world, the bastard monsters who are not satisfied with the peaceful world and want to kill people, and the bastard witch doctors who slaughter with their fucking thoughts. So…”

Kim Ji-hye turned her back and moved her steps towards her black van.

As she moved along her stride, she looked back at me.

“Become stronger as soon as possible, and until then, lean on me.”

A gloomy sunset.

Kim Ji-hye’s black eyes contained me in the reddish landscape.

Even though she is blunt and rough, she always showed her appreciation to Kim Ji-hye, who was there for me.

“Thank you.”

When I nodded her head and said hello, Kim Ji-hye clicked her tongue and walked back to her van and told me.

“Yes, so if you go to the other world, quickly eat the maidens of the youkai.”

“……”

It was clear that he had said something like that to me because he felt that gratitude was awkward.

I’m always blunt, but now I seem to know Ji-hye Kim to some extent, and I followed Ji-hye Kim with a smile.

* *

Yesterday, after being called separately by Kim Ji-hye, I realized many things.

Mother’s family and father’s family.

I knew exactly who I was and where I was, but what made me realize the most was my ability.

It was because after having sex with the manager, who was a monster, Yang’s energy, which had only been faintly felt, was clearly felt.

Unlike before, when the wage rate was used only when the necklace was removed, now it was possible to use the wage rate rate without taking off the necklace.

Like this.

“Payment Law”

A golden aura overflows, manifesting at my fingertips.

The golden aura that stretched forward struck the wall of the art room and soon scattered.

When I smiled at the fact that I had succeeded, Miho congratulated me by wagging his tail next to me.

“Han Jun-ah, you’re so cool!”

Miho pricks her triangular ears and naturally clings to my arm.

As I was embarrassed by Miho’s unique sweet scent and soft touch, Miho asked me while hesitating.

“How did you become so incantated in just a few days? Huh?”

Perhaps Miho was saying that he would praise me, but I stiffened his body at the question.

“Huh?”

Miho stares at me with red eyes.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, I said to Miho.

“It’s because Ji-hye noona taught me well.”

As I managed to squeeze out an answer, Miho clung to my arm and waggled his tail as if he was happy.

Hehe..Hehe.”

Unlike when I first mistook Miho for hypnotizing me, now the purpose of the art room has changed to a place where Miho can rest comfortably.

Sometimes Miho looked at the place where I kissed with a strange expression.

Miho and I were basically living in a friendly atmosphere.

“Han Joon-ah.”

“Yes?”

At Miho’s words calling me, I turned my head.

Miho’s red eyes twinkled, and he rubbed his cheek against my arm shyly.

“Do you have time this week on Thursday?”

“Thursday? Maybe, if Jihye noona doesn’t call, I’ll have time.”

In the first place, it was decided to move on to ‘Witchcraft, Yokai Academy’ this Friday, so it’s been a long time since most of the things in this world have been sorted out.

The academy and the small things were cut off a long time ago.

As for the items to bring, it was the clothes and underwear that I usually wore.

Asking why am I like this, let’s look at Miho.

Miho smiled and told me.

“I already asked Ji-hye to let Han-joon go free on Thursday. Then this Thursday, will I have time?”

“Yes. I have room.”

At my words, Miho pricked up her ears.

“Then~ This Thursday, let’s go on a date with me.”

“Date?”

“Yeah, a date.”

Miho nodded his head cutely and continued.

“The reason I came to the human world was because I wanted to enjoy human culture in a leisurely way… Among them, I really wanted to go on a date with humans in dramas and movies.”

The first day Miho transferred to school.

It reminded me of Miho, who remained in the empty school and enjoyed the classroom while stretching out his body.

Miho enjoyed his first school life, walking lightly on the table with his bare feet in the setting sun, and lifting his hips up from his desk.

“Okay, so it’s the day before we go to the other world. Let’s play to our heart’s content.”

Before moving on to the other world, I decided to make good memories for Miho, so I readily accepted Miho’s date.

Then Miho dyed her cheeks and murmured.

“Heh..Hehe… It’s a date. Here, somehow…”

I was a bit afraid of Miho’s gloomy expression, but I made an appointment to meet Miho at the lake park this Thursday.
