A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

72 – 2. ■■’S Summoner (17)

#72

Tadak

Burned firewood crumbles and red ashes spread in the air. The powder of the embers scattered by the asrai loses its light on the way and disappears into the space of night, but the bonfire is still brightly shining.

I stared blankly at that figure, then turned my eyes towards the gaze I had been secretly feeling from the side earlier.

“What.”

“I just wanted to say that we’ve been together for a long time, but this is the first time the two of us have quietly spent time like this.”

Ban Tae-woong, the man who smiled and answered my cold words, leaned back and looked up at the star-filled night sky.

“Because everyone was always together. Yeah, it’s a bit different.”

“Because they are very noisy. Don’t you feel that way more because you don’t have a quiet day?”

“…Ahahahaha, maybe”

From my point of view, those noisy guys include Ban Tae-woong and that guy. In the first place, since the guy who was the center of gathering them said something like that, he was dumbfounded.

“Still, I think it’s good. It’s fun when everyone is together.”

“Do it in moderation. Moderately.”

No, if it’s going to be noisy anyway, I’d rather finish it in a place where I can’t reach it. In that respect, it is no exaggeration to say that most of the work of the academy is ideal.

Thanks to God’s manipulation in earnest, I was able to sense in real time that things were happening on his own before I even got involved.

“That! Anything in moderation. Solve it where you can. Those are the words Shinwoo always lived with in his mouth.”

From noble mtl dot com

Did you live with your mouth open enough to react so loudly? I honestly don’t know. I guess it was natural because I just live like that on a regular basis.

“Why is that?”

“…Those words didn’t resonate with me that much in the past, but lately I’m quite keen on them.”

Perhaps he fell into sentimentality uncharacteristically, Ban Tae-woong lowered his head with a somewhat gloomy expression.

“Isn’t there something you can’t seem to catch up to at all even if you run as fast as you can? It happened recently, so I kept thinking that maybe I was overdoing it.”

No, it might be more like this because of the atmosphere. Should I say that I am self-objectifying? Originally, the main characters become stronger each time they gain insight into something and gain enlightenment.

Maybe the current break was a consideration rather than a consideration from God.

Just like he said, he’s worried that the guy who was in a hurry to move forward might fall down and get hurt.

It’s the same reason that you have to take enough rest in addition to overworking your muscles every day to build your body.

You can’t look back as long as you keep moving forward. If he doesn’t even understand what path he’s been on, he won’t even know if the road ahead is right or if there’s something under his feet.

I have seen many people in previous lives who have become so stagnant that they cannot claim to be alive even though they are alive.

“There are too many things happening that I can’t do anything about. I am doing my best just by facing the things in front of my eyes, but the world seems to be urging me to say that it is not enough.”

I felt goosebumps at the shedding of emotions rather than complaints. As he is a quick-witted guy in a strange place, he seems to have felt something about the surroundings that started to flow rapidly away from him.

Since he penetrated the essence halfway in a place where there was no word or information, should I call him the main character?

“…Shinwoo. Am I doing well now?”

“…”

Suddenly. It’s creepy at the same time. But that doesn’t mean you can ignore it either. Because it is such a serious question.

I immediately opened my mouth and tried to spit out the words I had decided, but I thought for a moment and then closed my mouth.

This guy is the main character of this world.

The world revolves around him, and even God generously repeats his favoritism, hoping that his future path will be filled with bright light.

But I wonder if this guy’s will is there.

Right now, I am also struggling with accidents that happen regardless of my will. Then, how does a person born with such a ‘destiny’ to repeat trials and adversities even though it is not his will, how do he think and act after hearing the secrets of this world?

Should we live by adapting to our situation as before? Or will you curse the damn world like me?

Sheer curiosity reared its head, but I had to push it hard. Anyway, the result doesn’t change.

If this world is a world in which the frame is prepared, there will be an appropriate end.

“… Hey, what do you think of Lucia?”

“Uh, huh? Suddenly?”

“Shut up and answer me.”

Because this will be a very important answer for me.

A hero, a heroine, and breaking away from that frame, what does Ban Tae-woong think of Lucia Valentia? Wanted to know that

“… Lucia, should I say she is someone I involuntarily respect? I think she’s genuinely amazing as a person regardless of her gender. She sometimes thinks she is too much for me.”

“What else?”

That’s not what’s important. Right now, I’m not asking about old-fashioned sentimental theories, but rather, I’m asking what a ‘person’ named Ban Tae-woong thinks of a ‘person’ named Lucia.

“Uh, I want to be a person who can stand proudly next to Lucia someday…Joe, I like it…Because. Many.”

After confirming the words and facial expressions unique to the fresh youth, I suddenly hated the me of the past who asked the question. What do you like about being in a mood like this, with a blushing, shy guy?

Honestly, I wanted to make him confess in front of the person concerned, not me, after kicking his butt like this.

I let out a deep sigh and said, resting my chin on it. A really boring kid.

“Then it came out. Answer.”

“… Huh?”

“You said you were worried about whether you were doing well with your mouth.”

A simple concern, but a question that everyone has. Am I really doing well on my own? Is it okay as it is now?

However, the main character’s worries are a little more altruistic than the others.

In words, he is asking if he is doing well, but in the end, he wants to be confirmed that his actions so far are correct.

Since you don’t have confidence in yourself, the easiest way to confirm that is to ask me, whom you can truly rely on from the bottom of your heart.

Is there any blur in what I did? Are there any mistakes on the way forward?

‘It’s like that.’

It was really the same. At the same time, Jin was lost.

It may not be a heroic destiny right now, like saving the world or something, but eventually this idiot will do something similar or equivalent.

I can’t help it with things that I can’t reach, but I have to save the things that catch my eye, because I’m a hukou-like guy who can’t be bothered.

That’s why I’m worried about that. Why are you worrying about not being able to save a red-hot other person without a single glance?

I know very well the answer that can solve this simple worry.

I got up from my seat and hit Ban Tae-woong’s stomach with my fist. He doesn’t have much energy, but he speaks coldly to the guy who hesitates because he’s hit a vital spot.

“Why are you asking me when the answer is already decided?”

Don’t be conceited. Do you know that you can do anything? Take care of yourself before thinking about your surroundings.

I liked royal road warriors. But at the same time, I hated the indecisiveness of the protagonist in such heroic stories.

That worry cannot be solved by asking others. If you don’t come up with an answer yourself, it’s obvious that you won’t be convinced no matter what you hear.

I’ll say it again, but the answer is fixed anyway.

Because you have the answer inside yourself. However, I hated the way he ignored it and thought of his surroundings first rather than taking care of himself.

Whose trouble would you dare to solve on a topic that can’t even solve the problem of the person closest to you?

“Wouldn’t that be enough to be able to stand confidently in front of the girl you like without having to think deeply about it?”

Rather than becoming a half-hearted hypocrite, the one who moves to satisfy one’s self-interest is a hundred times more sympathetic and trustworthy.

Because there is no perfect life in this world.

Look. Even that god who is said to be all-knowing and omnipotent is an asshole with a few screws missing from his head, busy favoring anyone.

So don’t worry. Don’t stop with worries that you don’t have time to write, and keep walking. If you walk at your own pace, neither fast nor slow, you will find your own answer someday.

After conveying all of them without adding or subtracting, Ban Tae-woong opened his eyes wide and began to think.

Look at that. No matter how much I say it, it’s useless if I don’t understand it? My mouth only hurts if I have to say it for a hundred days.

“Wake yourself up next time. I’m going to sleep.”

In the first place, it is foolish to stand vigil in private land. There was still time until the beginning of the next time, but I was mentally tired, so I only wanted to rest quickly.

“…Uh, yes.”

I glanced away at Ban Tae-woong, who started answering indifferently because he was worried.

If you’ve done this far, I’ll take care of the rest. That guy isn’t my child, so he has to take care of all those things one by one? If I disappear like this, another event will happen.

For example, someone pretending to be asleep from the beginning and eavesdropping on the conversation between me and Ban Tae-woong starts to move.

‘This bastard and that b*tch live really, really tired lives.’

Hiding behind the darkness as if to notice, ignoring the starry eyes staring at me intently, I took Growl and headed for the forest that I had prepared ahead of time instead of heading to the house I had made in advance.

There was a lake located in the depths of the forest that Hive found while walking through the forest.

“Caw.”

A shadow crow waiting at the place we arrived cried and looked at me.

As soon as she stretched out her hand towards the crow, the crow noticed my intentions and immediately flew up and landed on my arm.

After confirming that, I raised my head and looked at the panoramic view in front of me.

Shuaa

Even in a forest where trees are densely located, the density around here was especially strong.

You could see the stars in the sky even at the base camp, but here the trees were blocking the sky as if they wouldn’t even allow it.

Knock, knock

Perhaps it was late at night, water droplets on the leaves fall and create ripples on the shore of the lake below.

Yes, the trees were not around the lakeside, but upright on top of it, as if to cover the lake.

It is not a mangrove tree that only grows in tropical rain forests. Trees boasting huge heights that reach up to the sky are growing from the bottom of the lake.

At the center of the mysterious yet bizarre scene, there is a very huge tree that adds to the heterogeneity.

From the inside of the giant tree at the very center of the lake, protected by other trees, I could see the light pouring out so subdued that you wouldn’t know unless you checked it out.

It is such a feeble light that seems to be reflected in the moonlight that intermittently penetrates through the trees even in such a pitch-black darkness.

A place I wouldn’t have been able to find if it wasn’t for the Shadow Crow I released. Stretching out the shadows, making a bridge connecting trees and walking to the place where the light is located.

Ugh

Then, as if rejecting me, the trees began to move and take root in the form of a barrier, blocking the path of the shadow.

I turned the path of the shadow to the side without being taken aback by how quickly it grew, ignoring time.

This is a possible method because it is a power that has the property of being able to transform its shape and strength at any time with my magical power.

Saaa…

Then the sound of the trees clattering in panic echoed through the forest. Even though there was no particular wind blowing, the sight of the trees swaying was enough to give goosebumps if you were in your previous life.

However, that was a thing in a previous life, and it’s not that scary in the current life, where it’s not strange no matter what happens.

No, is it scary? As much as there is a cause and effect for everything, it also means that there is a target who committed this.

Duduk, knock!

Perhaps they realized that using vines and roots was meaningless, and not the roots, but the trees themselves moved and began to spread.

It doesn’t matter if you take out Kalion, but unfortunately, he stands out too much.

Originally, I was going to ignore it, but I came here with the intention of checking it out because there are night shifts and more time than I thought.

If possible, I have a strong desire to do things quietly without being known to other guys, so I came here quietly at this time.

So you’re giving up like this? No sound. Why did I come this far, wasting my time and stamina, and then go back without any benefit?

From noble mtl dot com

If that’s the case, it’s a covert action, and I’d rather take out Kalion and wipe out the whole place. I have no intention of walking in vain.

Perfect!

I filled my fingers with magical power and flicked them.

“Haze.”

Wheeooong!!!

In a space where not a single wind blows at my call, the wind blows and makes my collar and hair flutter. At the same time, what appeared in front of my eyes was a transparent fluffy energy source.

“Stool.”

Huohong

Immediately upon my command, it sucks in mana and creates wind. You can feel the floating feeling that your body is floating at the sudden repulsive force under your feet.

It felt like I was stepping on something soft rather than on the actual hard ground, so there was a slight error before my brain accepted this second difference.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t stand the motion sickness, but it was a strange sensation.

Still, there was no error, perhaps because there was real-time feedback information through the skill [Link]. The wind settled where I stepped, and I had no doubts about this act.

After taking three or four steps, I slowly began to get used to this strange sensation.

From then on, I moved forward without hesitation. Then the moving trees wriggled, and the roots and vines that were preparing for the next one flinched and stopped in mid-air.

I was dumbfounded because he looked like he was in great shock. Who knew that we would live and see the impact of a tree.

Ugh, ugh…

I finally reached the bottom of the huge tree in the middle of the lake, and I could see what was shining.

“This is…”

It was a stone that was placed under the tree. It is not an ordinary stone, but a stone that has a similar energy to Haze, although it is weak inside. It emits soft light and is connected to the huge tree, while at the same time exerting an influence on the surroundings.

In short, it is a spirit stone. Is that just before turning into a spirit?

The power contained in this stone, which can be mistaken for a jewel at first glance, contains the pure power of nature that is incomparable to the broken remains obtained the other day.

Because this is a private property, there are few people, but more than that, the place where the lake is located seems to be a suitable place for spirits to be born.

The strange thing is that ordinary spirits are located in another world that seems to be the spirit world, but cannot directly interfere, but this spirit stone is located in reality?

On the contrary, it’s not strange to be born as a spirit after jumping over the stage of a micro-spirit like Haze.

“Hmm…”

I have two options here.

Are you going to leave things like this and let the spirits be born? Or is it to be absorbed by Heize?

The former has no immediate merit for me, but it is an event that can make me feel good about the spirit itself.

If you’ve stopped me to this extent, it’s only possible if you’ve built up your ego to some degree, no matter how unconsciously. If things go on like this, it will only be a matter of time before they turn into spirits.

Because I generously used my mana on the way to this place, I will be aware of my existence after I am born.

If you’re lucky, it might be a kind of bridge to build a good relationship with the spirits in the future.

The latter has the obvious benefit of strengthening Haze.

You may have built your ego to some extent, but there is still nothing that can be called a perfect “Ego”. The proof is that they moved the tree only to protect themselves according to their instincts without hostility or anything.

On the other hand, Heize has a firm ego even though she is still a micro-spirit, probably because she shares my soul.

It doesn’t look perfect, but it has enough self-consciousness to express emotions such as clear communication and likes and dislikes through the skill [Link].

If you are determined and put in the time, you will be able to absorb even the soon-to-be-born spirits.

Since they are spirits close to nature, there is no need to worry too much, as the fusion and absorption of micro-spirits that have yet to develop their egos is more common than you think.

However, that is a story from the perspective of those who deal with spirits, and if it becomes a story between spirits, the situation may be different.

Just as people have factions, spirits also have their own factions.

Among them, there is also a force that extremely hates spirits harming spirits. What’s bothering me is this

This is a case in which the spirits went back to the source and hated and distrusted everything that tried to work the spirits other than the spirits, which is the ultimate cause of the spirits being unable to harm the spirits.

This is the reason why very few people can handle higher level spirits.

Because in order to rise to the top, you need to accumulate more experience or strength, but that means you’ve lived for a long time.

The spirits who have lived for a long time are those who have come into contact with the dirty parts of the world that much, so they basically have distrust.

Even if they interact with other races, they work mainly on thorough contracts, and if they don’t like it, they force unfair contracts that enforce unilateral trust, such as breaking the contract and disappearing at any time.

I said it in a long-winded way, but the bottom line is that if I feed this spirit stone to Heize, the spirits in that power may later stamp their eyes.

“…Honestly, that’s not what I know.”

I thought about it, but I wasn’t too scared. Whether or not you fight with the spirit, if you fight someday, you fight, or else you don’t.

To put it bluntly, if I feed Heize this and catch the pods, I’ll just cook the offspring and feed them to Heize.

Also, even if this spirit stone wasn’t created naturally, the person who threw it in a place like this is bad. If you were planning to grow something like this, you should have taken appropriate defensive measures.

Conclusion, I’m not bad.

“Eat.”

I gave an order to Heize with a snap of my chin, and Heize, as if pleased with my words, swam in the air once and headed towards the place where the Spirit Stone was.

Ugh, ugh…!

As Haze approached and began to absorb himself, the spirit stone began to shine in a hurry.

At first, it appeared to protect itself by shining light or gathering roots around it, but as time passed, its momentum decreased and at the end it disappeared without even being able to react properly.

All that remains is the root of the tree, which is hardened into the shape that is thought to have originally contained the spirit stone.

[The pure energy of nature permeates ‘S body.]

[The possibilities of Are expanded.]

[The existence of Becomes more evident.]

At the same time, a system alarm appeared similar to the previous time Carrion ate a hatchling’s molting shell.

Seeing that [Leak of Heaven] In the title didn’t respond, it wasn’t to say it was a secret, but it seemed certain that it was something equivalent to that.

“End with this.”

Taktak.

I hit the clothes with my hands and roughly brushed off the dust and leaves from the clothes. I accidentally found something like a hidden piece and even enjoyed it. Even so, why can’t I be genuinely happy?

Maybe it’s because the world is like this. Most of all, the reason she came here was because she was half attracted to her.

Maybe it’s because I’m starting to suspect that this is also a fake.

Of course, I have no intention of giving it up. In the first place, she is a character that is perfectly compatible to the extent that it is thought that the woman is a set with the word doubt.

If a problem arises and that woman is present, it is no exaggeration to say that there is a 95% chance that the incident was caused by that woman.

I’d rather leave the fish to the cat.

I should sleep soon too. As it is, turn around and look for a place to rest in a suitable place around you. The geographic information around here was already stored in the brain, so finding it was easy.

Why don’t you go back to camp? Because that woman is there. She didn’t know when she might be attacked, so she just decided to avoid me.

Because now my instincts are telling me to do it. I just follow it

Into the depths of the forest I walked.

Today was a very tiring day. Really.
