Have a Meal Before You Go

Khan went out to see the market.

The red hair grew quite well, tied back tightly. Normally, long red hair doesn't look so good on men, but it suits Khan very well.

‘I have to cut off my head. ’

It seems like long hair is annoying. Because I have to wash my hair every morning and pay attention to my hair.

I went to the market thinking like this.

The market was not as lively as it used to be.

However, the world was slowly returning to normal. The Khan smiles bitterly and looks at the note written by Chulho.

[Five Muscles of Arrows]

[2 Alops Roots]

There were various materials, including the back. Khan walks around the market with his hands in his trousers pockets.

Wh-

Suddenly, I can feel someone's tail behind me. The car walks still, frowning slightly and turning its head.

“....... ”

A little boy hides behind a wooden box in a fruit shop. I can see it clearly. Khan stares at him with a shrewd eye.

I turned around and went back to the market. After buying the ingredients that Cheolho ordered, I looked back. I see a kid hiding.

“Ugh… ”

Khan takes a step forward as if he were going to die of bother. Soon, I ran very quickly to the end of the market. You see the boy running from behind.

The Khan climbs onto a large platinum tree at the far end of the market.

And I looked down there.

Tata, Tata, Tata!

A boy dressed in shabby clothes ran to look both ways and made a tear.

I did not hear the child crying. However, Khan scratched his head because he was sad to see the crying child sitting on his back.

.

“Huh?"

He stares at the compartment.

“What are you doing? ”

“Well, that's the thing. ”

I scratched my head as if it were embarrassing. Chulho narrows his eyes and looks at the compartment. If you don't like the gaze that looks like you can see through something, the compartment grunts.

“Bar, bar, I'll feed you. ”

“Really?"

“Yes!”

“I see.”

Chulho shrugged and replied briefly.

- Tendency: Line

-Class: Patience Time

-Class achievement: Award

- Acquisition Ability: Best

The child must have awakened his abilities early on. Time of patience....... What was Chulho's ability? I entered the kitchen, muttering.

“Did you get everything you wrote? ”

“Huh."

The box pushes out the basket.

“Put it in the fridge. ”

Chulho tapped the shoulder of the Khan and went out to the table, asking the boy.

“Baby.”

The child raised his head. He looked less than 10 years old. I didn't seem to be old enough to go to Cipher School, and the clothes I was wearing were worthless.

Are you from a shithole? ’

“Where's home? ”

Chulho stroked the child's head gently and asked. The child stares at Chulho, smiling as if he didn't like it. Then I looked in my pocket, and I took out a little notebook.

[No home.]

And I wrote another word with a pencil.

“You don't have a home? ”

Chulho thought about it quietly and smiled.

“So, what's your favorite food? ”

The child went down again.

[None.]

“....... ”

Cheolho felt the dark magic energy of the child. It was the dark magic that remained in the child's body. I closed his eyes and reached out to his body.

Shya-ah-ah!

The Dark Magic energy drains out.

“....... ”

And I realized...

"The child who was used as a stearoid test subject. ’

Poriner's man-modification project seems to be a success. And at the same time, I realized what classes my child has.

‘Patience time. ’

Patience time is an excellent class of defense. Absorbs most of the pain inflicted on the body, and some of the pain absorbed is used to achieve the class.

Also, most of the pain absorbed can be gathered in one place and released. This class combines assaultable workshops with the ability to get hit and absorb it and use its power in reverse.

This is a really rare class. Not up to first class, but at least equivalent.

“Huh?"

At that time, Echo came into the rice restaurant, looking at the child, his eyes widened.

“Why is this kid here? ”

“You know?"

Echo nods at Cheolho's statement.

“Yes. Last time, I took all of Poriner's officers to the Vienna Gate. to fight there.”

“But?”

“There was a boy at the gate. I let you go after the fight. Why are you here? ”

“I see.”

The situation has been noted.

This child must have been one of Poriner's subjects.

The experiment, technically, would be a failure. This child would have survived with an achievement called an 'award’, rather than a unique class.

Probably.

Survivors will be this one kid.

Chulho continued to stroke the boy's head.

“Your name?”

Test subject 705.]

I was heartbroken to see the words.

What did he do to this little girl? What kind of greed drives them into this madness?

“How old are you? ”

[I don't know.]

I couldn't look at his clear, transparent eyes, so I turned my head.

* * *

He opened his eyes wide as if he had never seen food like this since he was born.

After putting the arrowheads in sesame oil, salt and pepper, it was cooked with a little seasoning made from soy sauce.

[What is this?]

The child asked.

“Food.”

Food has been used as a test subject since childhood to the point of not knowing the concept. Fortunately, he knew the writing, but he said he learned it with a guy in the lab.

He was in the lab for a very long time, so he couldn't speak. The side effects of stearoids were clear. You couldn't absorb all that pain.

Cheolho chopped the meat by hand and fed the child. The child ate a mouthful of meat and sat dumbstruck for a while thinking about this ridiculous delicious food.

[Thank you.]

The child wrote letters on the burinake notebook. Chulho smiled bitterly and continued to feed the meat. After eating all of the dishes, the child tasted it.

“Can I get you some more? ”

[Really?]

The child ate one dish, two plates, and three more dishes. Suddenly, I woke up and vomited. I felt sorry for him.

I've never eaten anything delicious before, so I think I tried to eat a lot.

The child wrote letters on a scrawled notebook.

[I'm sorry. Don't hit me.]

A crooked and misspelled letter told me in a hurry.

Chulho lifted up a child like that. His eyes were full of tears. The child was anxious and filled with fear. It must have been obtained from this situation.

Chulho hugged the child.

“It's okay.”

And he muttered very calmly and quietly.

“No one's going to hit you here. ”

I felt the body trembling.

“So, relax. That's how kids grow up. ”

I patted the child on the back.

* * *

Khan opens his book and ponders.

- Probably thinks you're a lifesaver.

The Demon King did all the fighting?

- His hands were warm.

- What is it?

Khan waits, holding the child's hand, watching Echo groan at the gate. Maybe it was then?

I scratched my head.

- So, why don't we keep him for a while?

Really?

- At my age, I think I'll be going to Cipher School soon. Until then.

Khan shrugs, recalling his conversation with Cheolho. First, I want to give him a name.

What should I call it?

Khan ponders for a long time. By the way, lately Tangerine hasn't been able to think about going up because it's in the maze. The Khan rises from his seat.

Naming someone is pretty important. When Khan named tangerines, he thought tangerines were just tangerines, so there was no roughness.

I felt like I had to do it somehow.

But this kid, I have no idea.

Wh-

When I entered the labyrinth, I saw Helcau working hard on the other side today. I also saw the look of tangerines over there. The color pales on the face of the columns.

I wanted to run and kiss that baby's chubby cheeks without pity.

However, the Khan had to tilt his head.

The boy was crouching next to Tangerine and having this kind of conversation.

Somehow, Khan looks pretty good behind it. He stands still and watches for a while. And what the hell are they talking about? I thought.

Here you go.

Let's go a little closer.

“Woof, this is Soldier Sami. ”

Tangerine pointed at a chick and said, Then the boy wrote letters on the notebook.

[Soldier's name?]

Tangerine opened her eyes and read step-by-step letters.

“The sickness...... the sickness...... the sickness...... the sickness...... Mia......? ”

I nodded as if I understood.

“Ugh, first name. Soldier Sami. ”

Tangerine gnawed my lips and tickled the back of a chick who was cute and dying. And as I boasted to the boy, I lifted him up.

“This is Paris in sickness. ”

Twitch!

The compartment flickered. I began to have all kinds of thoughts in my head. Who taught that baby how to curse? Well, there's only one of them.

It's the damn Demon King!

[Are you 18?]

“Ugh, the sick fly is Le Mi. Poetry eight times, baby. ”

Tangerine smiled and put her cheek on the chick's cheek. I understood the name "Sixteen and Eighteen." The word is a bad word, and Tangerine may not know it yet.

“Positive. Don't you talk? ”

[Yeah, I can't talk.]

“What do you say? ”

Tangerine seemed quite surprised.

“Oh Di Apha? You selling boats? You want some rice muffins? Dad, are you good at eating? ”

It was nice for the two of them to talk. Khan squats behind them, stealing his nose. Suddenly, the boy looked back.

Then he looks at the car, and he runs in the color, and he sits somewhere in front of the car.

Tangerine also yelled at the car.

“Brother!"

Tangerine ran to Warak Khan and hugged him.

The boy cries out, not knowing what to do. Khan reaches out to the boy, too. Then, the boy carefully grabs the Khan's hand.

It felt like something was wrong.

The boy rubs his hands like that and smiles at Vashti. That smile is so clear.

In the Khan's mind, something boils.

So I gestured to the child. When I came closer, I hugged him with tangerines.

Tangerine smiled as if it was funny and put her head in the chest of the car.

“Dada! ”

“Yes."

“This sickness, this sickness, this sickness. Then he asked me to fix a bird. ”

Ishipal.

Khan was so tired of closing his eyes, he thought he had to tell Tangerine about the relationship between numbers and profanity someday.

Anyway.

This side of the world is always clear, but reality is the evening when the sun sets and the moon rises.

“Let's go to dinner. ”

“Woof. Stay? ”

“Do you want some meat? ”

As soon as the Khan stood up, Tangerine followed me. The boy just stands there, staring at the box.

Khan walks a little further and gestures at the boy.

“Come here. Let's get you something to eat. ”

The boy ran up with a smile on his face.

Khan holds two children in his arms and raises them in a flash.

“Let's go! ”

“....... ”

Lise smiles strangely as she watches it from afar.

I thought that dragon, who was like a child, had grown up a bit somehow.

By the way.

I feel like there are more and more new members in the maze these days. Perhaps we should ask Chulho to find a new nest soon.

There seems to be a Spirit King back in full force over here. Look at that.

Shoot-!

Spirits are already being born.

Over there, you see a lower spirit of water stirring up from the stream. Thanks to the Spirit of Water King who follows the tangerines far behind, water spirits were being born occasionally.

Finish
