I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 391

I am not a returner Episode 391

Star of the Reverse Sky (4)



A few days after hearing the unexpected bad news from Ha-eun.

Ojin woke up early in the morning, finished training at the sanctuary, which had now become a daily routine, and changed out of his blood-and-sweat-covered clothes.

“So, are you planning to go to the sanctuary today?”

“huh. “I have to go.”

To be honest, I didn’t want to go.

A star in the constellation Ursa Minor that is said to have the power to predict the future.

Polaris is the constellation that holds the highest position among the three constellations called the North Star.

“Whoa.”

If he were a normal awakened person, there would be no need to be this nervous.

‘The problem is that I have the Black Heaven.’

Of course, when I encountered Polaris in ‘Fountain of the Milky Way’ before, fortunately I passed without any problems.

No, there are no problems.

Thanks to Polaris’s direct announcement in front of the constellations that he was the ‘star of the heavens’ that would change future fate, he was able to completely escape the suspicions of other constellations.

‘Because no one would think that the star in the dark sky is the owner of the dark sky.’

Who could imagine that the Star of Salvation, who was destined to save the world, and the owner of the Dark Sky, who would devour and destroy the world, are the same person?

* * *

That was why he kept emphasizing the fact that he was a star in the sky before his identity was discovered by Vega.

‘But even if we got through it safely before, we can’t be sure that it will happen this time too.’

Even Vega was in anguish wondering what to do next when he first found out that he was the master of the Dark Sky, but other constellations have nothing to think about.

In the worst case, he could have rushed at her, threatening to kill her on the spot.

‘I still feel a little safer with Vega by my side.’

It is only a temporary measure, and the fact that it becomes an irreversible situation the moment one’s identity is revealed remains unchanged.

“...Are you still worried?”

“Well, that doesn’t mean I can’t not go.”

You can’t just say that Polaris, not another constellation, is looking for you.

“Do not worry. “Nothing will happen.”

Isabella patted Ojin on the back as if to reassure him.

It feels a bit strange, like a mother encouraging a child who is competing in a presentation competition.

“Then I’ll come back.”

“Oh wait a minute.”

Isabella came close to Ojin, who was putting on his shoes and going out.

Did I spray some perfume?

The faint scent of roses tickled my nose.

“Hmm.”

Isabella pressed Ojin’s cheeks to open his lips and looked closely at the inside of his mouth.

“Why hehe?”

Ohjin, who instantly turned into a carp, looked embarrassed.

“Mr. Oh Jin, I can smell blood in your mouth?”

“ah. “I guess I chewed the wrong part of my mouth earlier.”

The sanctuary training was so painful that I often had wounds inside my mouth as I clenched my teeth.

“If you put acupuncture on something like this, it will get better quickly.”

In fact, since it is a wound in the mouth, there is no need to apply saliva.

When he tried to pull away, waving his hand to tell me not to worry.

“Stay still.”

“Woof!”

Isabella pulled Ojin’s head.

Isabella spread her lips by pressing both cheeks once again and pushed her tongue into her mouth as if preying on prey.

The soft tongue roughly explored the inside of the mouth.

When I touched the torn wound with the tip of my tongue, I felt a sharp pain and a strange sense of pleasure.

“Puh-ha!”

Isabella’s tongue, which had been probing in her mouth for a while, created a long string and slipped out.

Isabella rolled her tongue in her mouth as if eating sweet candy.

Saliva mixed with Ojin’s blood flowed down my throat.

“Hmm, as expected, Oh Jin’s blood is the best.”

“...I ate it for breakfast too.”

“Oh, it’s different from that again?”

Hoping that the worst would not happen, we headed to the ‘Fountain of the Milky Way’ where Polaris is located.

Oooooh!

What we saw, enveloped in brilliant silver light, was a wide lake.

In the center of a beautiful spring where tens of thousands of stars twinkled as if reflecting the night sky, there stood a being made of starlight.

[You have arrived.]

Polaris, the constellation of Ursa Minor, slowly bowed its head towards Ojin.

[I’ve been waiting for you, star of the heavens.]

A unique voice that makes it impossible to tell whether it’s a woman, a man, an old man, or a child.

Ojin swallowed his dry saliva at the presence that felt more than distant but also awe-inspiring.

‘Still, I’m glad.’

Considering that he still calls himself the ‘Star of the Dark Sky’, fortunately, it doesn’t seem like he called it because he was aware of the existence of the Dark Heaven.

“I heard you were looking for me.”

[Yes, I have a favor to ask you.]

I continued speaking in a calm voice, unfolding the ‘black story’ as much as possible.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come see you right away. Something happened a while ago...”

[I know.]

...You know?

[You met the star of the Ophiuchus constellation, right?]

“....”

At that moment, Ojin’s expression hardened.

I have never even told Vega about my encounter with Moebius.

[Did you meet a star in the constellation Ophiuchus? What does that mean?]

“I’ll explain later.”

He looked back at Vega, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and bit his lip.

“Yes, Moebius came to see me and wanted to see my face.”

[Mobius... That’s a nostalgic name.]

I couldn’t tell what its expression was because it was made of starlight.

The low muttering voice was somehow immersed in sadness.

[If you meet him again, can you tell him that you were sorry that time?]

That you were sorry that time.

Did I do something wrong to Moebius?

“What happened between you two?”

[That... I think it would be difficult to say. Because I’m not the only one involved in this.]

“....”

Ojin’s eyes slightly frowned.

‘What on earth are you hiding?’

I wanted to force myself to find out what happened with Moebius, but it was difficult to force myself to go out because I was the other person.

Oh Jin clicked his tongue and changed the topic.

“What is the favor you mentioned earlier?”

[Before I say anything... could you please come inside the spring for a moment?]

“...Sure.”

Oh Jin doesn’t know what Polaris’ request is.

Having the opportunity to enter the Milky Way Fountain was also a good opportunity for Ojin.

‘Looking at it again, it’s incredible magical power.’

Of course, it was not possible to absorb the magic power that filled the spring using the black cloth in front of Polaris, but the magic power of the stigmata dissolved in the spring was so enormous that the magic power could gradually flow into the body just by immersing the body.

‘It’s not just that there’s so much food.’

The stigmatic magic that filled this spring contained a stronger magic than any other stigmatic magic that Ojin had absorbed so far.

Should I say that it feels like gathering hundreds or thousands of stars and squeezing out their magical power like oil?

It was mind-boggling to think that water boasting such an extremely compressed magical concentration could fill the spring.

[O star in the sky.]

Polaris’ hand touches the arm.

Unlike the unique body made of starlight, the touch felt as warm as human skin.

[There is only one thing I would like to ask of the star in the sky.]

As if caressing a precious treasure.

Polaris grabbed Ojin’s arm with both hands and carefully pulled his arm.

Ojin’s hand touched Polaris’ left chest.

[This miserable constellation, bound by the torrent of fate and unable to get out of the spring... Please eat it yourself.]

...Yes?

What should I eat?
