Chapter 131- Trauma (1)

Chapter 131- Trauma (1)

‘Please show me. It can’t be.’

On the way to take over the flowerpot and drive home. I gripped the steering wheel harder. I know that Choi Seon-woo is not a bad person.

I also know that he is just an innocent high school student and a miniature maker. If you know the secret, he will be very happy. He said that there are small people who actually use the miniatures he made, but which producer would hate it?

Besides, even if he learns the secret of the pot, he can’t really do anything about it unless he leaks it to others.

But even thinking about the situation that would never happen made me feel uncomfortable.

Anxiety soared, and hostility reared its head. Even though I knew it was wrong, after that day, my heart, which had been twisted somewhere, circulated alone, excluding my reason.

“Ha.”

I arrived home in such a distraught state and parked the car, but I couldn’t get up easily from my seat. When Kim Dong-chun said that there was nothing I couldn’t do as a hunter, he would think he had finally overcome his past trauma, but that’s not the case.

It was just overlaid with another form of insecurity. One day, when I healed my heart and erased the wounds of the past with a potted plant that came into my hands by chance, my obsession and dependence only got worse.

Just like the moment we first met, we can’t shake off the anxiety that we might break up in an instant without any reason or sign.

Compared to when I first encountered the world inside a pot, the difference is obvious.

‘If something happens to the flower pot, I will.’

As I put my head on the steering wheel with such anxious thoughts, only useless thoughts kept coming to my mind. It was to the point where I even wondered if I, who had already run away once, would be able to recover again if I lost even the flower pots.

“What is that?”

“Ah.”

However, when I managed to put aside my thoughts and get out of the car with a potted plant. I just ran into the landlord who was coming out of the building entrance.

“The size is considerable. The weight also looks heavy. Could it be a flower pot?”

He recognized the flowerpot I was holding at once. There is not a single plant planted in a pot, but it is enough to transplant a plant.

“You seem to have attached your hobby properly, right?”

“Yes. These days… I’m hooked.”

There was no need to deny it. After all, he’ll know that I’m putting in pots to grow plants like he did.

“Maybe it’s because I’m so into it, I think I’ll be heartbroken if something happens. No matter how many people see it, it is just a flower pot.”

That’s why I opened my mouth first. It was a little impulsive action that surprised me. It was something I didn’t have to say.

“People might say that it is easier than raising an animal because it gets along by itself if you just give it water and leave it alone, but that is not the case. You are more fragile than you think.”

“And when I think about the future, there are no answers.”

The more I think about it, the more I think about it. Among those thoughts were thoughts about the future. I wonder what the pots, which I am taking good care of now, will be like in 10, 20, or several decades.

I will die someday. Then, what would the world be like in a flowerpot? There is a world that has been out of the pot for a long time. Of course, even though it is so precarious that it may be ruined tomorrow, the world is becoming another home for a growing number of residents in a few months from a simple shelter.

“Don’t worry about these useless words because I’m very attached to them these days.”

After talking, I added that he might look at me strangely. To strangers, he would be seen as an overly concerned oddball.

“I know what your story is. Don’t think it’s strange because it’s an idea that can be done enough. Everyone has a bleak future, so if you don’t have an answer, just look at tomorrow. Time eventually flows and no matter what happens, the world somehow manages to take care of itself. Do you know well? When the gate first opened, I thought the world was finally ending.”

He nodded his head in understanding. Of course, he didn’t give a clear answer because he didn’t know the circumstances, but it was quite plausible to say that he would just look at tomorrow.

In the end, I broke up there and came back home. I thought to put all unnecessary thoughts away and focus on reality.

‘Did I tell you then?’

The moment I entered the house, I thought for a moment that I had told my uncle about my past properly, but that’s all.

At that time, when I had to live my second life on my own, even thinking about it, I was insane, so I would have said something to him who helped me a lot.

“The portal has opened, my queen. Not here, but by the lake!”

“You mean it opened there?”

When Seunghyun came home and placed the flower pots on the veranda. Serenian, who had been contacted in advance, was searching for a portal that would open somewhere with the elves.

As a result, the place where the portals are connected is a pot other than the bonsai pot where all the opened portals have been gathered. It was the second connected area, the lakeside flowerpot.

“The expedition team has already completed preparations.”

“The sooner the better. There is no need to hesitate, let’s go right away.”

Serenian climbed on top of the fairy ant in a heavily armed state with the expedition team he was preparing in advance. From what I’ve experienced so far, when a new land comes down, there are enemies who are always aiming for it.

It is the ordeal given to them to prove their qualifications by winning the competition against the enemies.

“All in!”

“You never know when or where something will come out. Be vigilant on all sides.”

A group of dozens of people, including her, jumped through the portal and into space, entering a river potted plant where the pump started working.

Unable to let go of the tension, they raised their weapons as soon as they entered and stood guard in all directions.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Big, big.”

But all of them could not help but open their mouths when they saw the huge terrain in front of them. It was because the other soldiers, as well as Serenian himself, who had the most experience, had never encountered such a huge area that could not see the end clearly.

The part they arrived at via the portal was a flat land near the river located on a low land in a potted plant with a slope difference. In front of them, there was a distant land, and soon after, a lake with water flowing from the river was unfolding behind them. .

“Look over there. Hey, it’s a village!”

At that time, one of the soldiers found a village that Choi Sun-woo had touched. A village lined with small houses, bridges, and facilities made of wood materials stretched out near the river.

“I don’t feel popular, but let’s go.”

Serenian also raised his tension. Because the case was different from before. It was the first time that there were traces of human-made civilization, unlike other open areas that were all natural terrain.

‘The ants are getting anxious.’

Since he has to look first, Serenian carefully crosses the elaborate wooden bridge installed in the river made by Choi Seon-woo using wood and bond. Did.

It was clear that there was something in that village ahead. Of course, the day was overcast, so the sunlight was hard to see, so the atmosphere itself was gloomy.

“No, no matter what, they must be terrible beasts. But don’t worry. It won’t be a big deal. Rather, since there is such a prosperous village, there is no need to build a house.”

“Don’t be so ominous, Lawton.”

A soldier who was in the lead opened his mouth to lighten the mood, but he did not receive much response.

In the end, the elves who entered the village noticed a strange noise in their ears and bit their lips.

“All ready for battle.”

Serenian was the first to aim his arrow. The target arrow turned into a crackling thunderbolt and headed towards the hall building next door.

“Ugh, ugh!”

At the same time, not only the elves who screamed in surprise but also the Serenian who shot the arrows were unexpected enemies, so a withered monster revealed its teeth and rushed towards them with a scream close to a scream. .

“I fell down. Is it a person?”

The enemy was struck by Serenian’s arrow and fell to the ground at once electrocuted. Elves flinched at the sight of an enemy with arms and legs, unlike other monsters who were variants of insects.

“Over there! It’s in the sky too! It’s a monster moth!”

“Is this all!?”

But before they could calm down their frightened minds, monster moths that had flown in and sprayed poison powder flew towards them.

The elves hurriedly shot them down with arrows.

‘This.’

And while the others hurriedly guarded their surroundings. Serenian looked at the corpse hit by his own arrow with his hard face.

A huge, white, wriggling caterpillar pierced through the stomach of the grotesque being who was obviously a corpse, but was dying.

“No, this is crazy.”

Seonghyeon, who was watching this scene, also recognized the identity of the enemies and rubbed his body with goosebumps.
