I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 390

I am not a returner Episode 390:

Star of the Reverse Sky (3)



“So...”

A chilly living room lingers in the air.

In the cold atmosphere that seemed to freeze at any moment, a blazing flame was aimed at Ojin.

“Were you training to develop a ministry?”

“Yes, that’s right. sister.”

In front of the two eyes burning brightly like flames, Oh Jin bowed his head calmly.

The hot gaze that I could feel on my skin sent a chill down my spine.

I once saw a ridiculous technique called ‘Cold Flame’ when I was dealing with Deimos in the Demon World, and I never thought Ha-eun could use the same technique.

“You want me to believe that now?”

What Ha-eun saw when she came into the living room was Oh-jin, sandwiched between two sisters, bleeding from his nose.

Yes, no matter how you look at it...

“Well... what do you call it? Sister... fried rice?”

Why fried rice all of a sudden?

“I forgot what you call me. Anyway, it looks like you’re getting a nose bleed doing that!”

“no.”

* * *

okay.

Honestly, I will admit that there was room for misunderstanding.

However, the reason she was sandwiched between the two sisters Cassia and Isabella was to transmit the magic of the stigmata more easily.

Since the magic power of stigmata basically emanates from the ‘stigmata’, isn’t it natural that magic power can easily come and go while touching the part of the body with the stigmata engraved on it?

‘The problem is that the stigmata is engraved on the left side of my chest.’

That’s not what Ojin wanted and it was engraved there. What on earth should be done with the engraving on the left chest that all awakened people of all countries have?

“I had no choice because of the real sanctuary training.”

Since I already had a lot of criminal records(?), I wanted to just say I was wrong about most things and move on, but isn’t this a bit unfair?

‘If I don’t clear up any misunderstandings here, it will be a hassle later when I practice sanctuary.’

Although it was an ignorant method, the practice of pouring the magical power of other awakened people into the sanctuary to forcibly destroy it and then create a new one, making the sanctuary stronger and wider, was quite effective.

Of course, since it is not a normal training method, the pain is great and there is no way to know what aftereffects there will be, but isn’t it a situation where you can gain strength by considering such things?

“...Really?”

“Did you see me lying?”

“Oh, so much.”

oh.

“Hmm! It’s not really a lie this time. “It was just held in close contact to make it easier for magic to flow in.”

“Hmm.”

“You know that magic can be transmitted more easily when your bodies are in close contact, right?”

“Yes, but.”

Ha-eun nodded, but couldn’t erase the suspicious look in her eyes.

Ohjin must have thought that things couldn’t go on like this, so he turned to Cassia, who was quietly sitting on the living room sofa, and asked for help.

“Right, Cassia?”

“...Huh.”

“uh?”

Cassia, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly turned her head, wiping away tears.

‘no.’

What should I do if I suddenly cry at this time?

“I refused at first... but Ojin said it was an order and forced me...”

“No, no, no. “Hold on a minute, lady.”

What should I do if you say that?

“I said it touched my heart... but I actually liked it better...”

“Hey?”

If it comes out like this, I’ll be in a lot of trouble.

“I’m sorry... I knew that Ha-eun was Oh Jin’s lover...!”

Cassia began to cry and lowered her head.

“....”

Ha-eun, who was looking at Cassia with narrowed eyes, soon sighed deeply and shook her head.

“You really trained.”

“Oh my, did you get caught?”

“No matter how much Ojini is like an animal in heat, she is not a piece of trash that can be forcibly touched.”

“There is a lot of trust.”

“Do you know that I’ve been with Ojini for 1 or 2 years?”

This is a lot of trust, right?

“Well, anyway. Now that you’re home, explain. “Why is Cassia here?”

“That...”

“Let me explain.”

“...A body servant?”

“Oh yeah! “I am Ojin’s loyal slave?”

“....”

Grumble!

A fiercely burning flame.

Intense heat filled the spacious living room.

“What did you say earlier? what? misunderstanding?”

“....”

Damn it.

The meal that followed was, contrary to expectations, quite harmonious.

“Oh my, is this chicken?”

“Is this your first time eating it?”

“I’ve often eaten simple fried chicken dishes, but... doesn’t this taste different from anything I’ve ever eaten?”

Cassia continued to exclaim in exclamation as she ate chicken heated in an air fryer.

The crispy fries and salted chicken thighs were in perfect harmony, filling my mouth with juicy meat.

Ha-eun clicked her tongue in disappointment as she watched Cassia eating wagu wagu chicken.

“Oh, should I have ordered fresh chicken?”

“Is the taste that different from eating it right away?”

“It makes a huge difference. “Would you believe it even if it was a completely different food?”

“Oh my, are you looking forward to that?”

A noisy and harmonious meal.

Cassia, who has a brilliant sense of humor as Isabella’s older sister, continued her conversation with Ha-eun very naturally.

Isabella also put aside her war of nerves with Cassia and created a friendly atmosphere.

It was a meal where everyone was in harmony... or, to be more precise, it was a meal where everyone was in harmony except for one person.

“...I know how to eat chicken too.”

“You’re just quietly chewing on chicken bones.”

“....”

too bad.

“ha.”

Ohjin looked down at the chicken bones piled up on his bowl and sighed deeply.

Although he had almost no desire for food, it was quite refreshing and miserable to just look at a bowl full of chicken bones while other people were excitedly eating chicken.

‘I didn’t ask you to become a slave.’

He calls himself a slave because he wants to, so what can I do?

Feeling filled with resentment, I picked up a chicken bone from the bowl and chewed it.

‘Well... I’m glad we avoided the worst.’

In fact, if Ha-eun had vehemently rejected Cassia, the situation would have been quite troublesome.

In terms of single power, Cassia was powerful enough to easily defeat a considerable number of Chilseong.

Even if he just misdiagnosed right now, he wasn’t confident that he would win the fight against Cassia without using Gaecheon.

no.

Even if it’s not just because of that reason.

“It’s been a long time since we all gathered together for a meal like this.”

“okay? Ah, but aren’t you going to sit here anyway?”

“...If only Ha-eun would allow it.”

“Well, thanks to So-and-so’s expansion project, there are a lot of spare rooms.”

“Then...!”

“If the time permits, let’s gather together and eat like this.”

“Ah yes! “Let’s do it!”

When I saw Cassia nodding her head repeatedly with a bright smile, the corners of my mouth naturally relaxed.

It was much nicer to see the bright smile on her lips now than the forced smile that was filled with loneliness and solitude.

“Oh right. “I forgot to tell you.”

As the meal was coming to an end, Ha-eun looked back at Oh-jin as if something had occurred to her.

“Vega said to come to the sanctuary when you have time.”

“Well, that’s not difficult... After all, wouldn’t the restrictions of the law be lifted if there was a little bit?”

If the restrictions of the law were lifted and one could appear in a physical body, there was no need to go to the sanctuary to meet Vega.

“To be exact, they said that another constellation, not Vega, was looking for you.”

“Another constellation me? who?”

“Uh... just sleep. “Who was it?”

Ha-eun, who narrowed her eyebrows and continued thinking, snapped her fingers.

“Oh right. “Polaris. It was called Polaris.”

“...what?”

Polaris, the constellation Ursa Minor.

The first and highest constellation.

The being located at the pinnacle of the Polaris, which is said to be the most brilliant star.

“Why is she looking for me...?”

Ojin frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
