36 – Neighbors Next Door

The house Wi Ji-young gave me was very quiet, so it was good to sleep.

I was always able to get a good night’s sleep.

“Okay…But I can’t sleep today…”

I yawned heavily and got up from the bed.

Well, it must be the occasional sleepless day. The moment I gulped down a glass of water and stared at the window without much thought.

“…Eh?”

I met eyes with a weasel with a long beard.

“…A bearded weasel??”

No, aside from the weasel’s whiskers, why is he sticking to the window and staring at me?

Even what kind of weasel is that big?? Bigger than a big dog…

[Hmm…This is interesting! I was just going to look at your face, but you woke up!]

“Do weasels talk?!”

[Clack! Even if you look at it, isn’t it a normal weasel?]

The weasel stroked his beard with his front paws and then gently opened the window and returned to my room.

“…I don’t think it’s a monster… Who are you?”

As this mysterious weasel said, it didn’t look like an ordinary weasel at first glance.

But it doesn’t look like a monster either.

[To speak with my body, I am the mountain god of the mountain next to this house! His name is Hoseo (虎鼠), so just call him Hoseo!]

“A mountain god…?”

Sanshin? Was there such a thing in the world?

[There are things like cluck, superhumans, and monsters, but what else can there be without things like mountain gods, ghosts, and monsters! There are more of them than you think! I just haven’t experienced it.]

San-sin, the weasel, came into my room very naturally, and Ho-seo, like a human, opened the lid of the water bottle with her forepaws, poured it into a glass, and drank it in one gulp.

[Kyaha! This water tastes pretty good!]

“…Really? Ri Su-yeon brought something good for the body.”

This is a really unusual weasel…

[Come to think of it, you must be wondering how I broke in so easily!]

“Uh…I wasn’t even thinking about it…”

[Of course, no matter how much this body is a mountain god, its strength itself is inferior to that of your subordinates! Even if only one of them steps out to kill me, that day will be my memorial day!]

This weasel is a brazen fellow…

“By the way, didn’t you say mountain god? No matter how S-rank superhuman you are, you get excited?”

[I don’t know what God thinks of the people, but we are not omnipotent! The mysterious Creator who created the universe, the stars, and the world in the beginning without knowing the identity of such a thing must be a nobleman! I don’t even know if such a thing exists!]

“Is that so?”

[Of course, that doesn’t mean that the gods are not easygoers! Even if I’m not a big deal right now, I’m the same as those who are on the weaker side of the guys you call S-rank supermen! Of course, I have a few leftovers, but.]

Hmm, I don’t know, but it seems to be strong.

[Still, superhuman things are amazing. As short as hundreds of years, as long as it is hard to even count, it is gods and monsters that live a long time. Of course, the number is small.]

I’m not interested in such complicated stories… This weasel man seems to be a lot more talkative than I thought.

“Uh, then there are quite a few monsters and gods?”

[Geez! Quite a lot! It just doesn’t enjoy appearing in public! And aren’t superhumans already busy dealing with monsters that popped out of dungeons? We don’t have any interest in each other, so we won’t even meet!]

“Then why did you come here?!”

You said you weren’t interested!

[Hmm, come to think of it, I have to tell you how I broke in so easily, but I fell into a trap while talking! I’ll take your questions later!]

No, I’m not curious, weasel mountain god!!

[How did this body invade so easily! Thanks to a simple trick! I just helped your sleeping men get a deeper sleep! Let me have good dreams too! As long as you’re not here to harm them or for any evil purpose, that’s enough! And if it’s an animal you raise… No matter how much it’s a monster, it’s only because it’s a guy who’s been tamed by animals!]

Aint! Fool this guy! Already betrayed and dereliction of duty?! True to its name, you made three children…!

[And why did I come to see you… I happened to see your ability a few times, and it was so amazing that I came to see you!]

“Then why did you come all the way here…?”

[Clack! It’s all because of your outstanding abilities! Didn’t you say We usually avoid contact with humans. I was trying to put you to sleep as well as your men! I was thinking of going and looking around for a bit! But you reacted rather sensitively to my ability and woke up! I expected it to some extent, but it’s not normal after all!]

“Somehow I couldn’t sleep…Was it because of Mr. Weasel?”

Ah, I’m tired, but I can’t sleep… This is what happened…

[Still, from my point of view, I like the situation! Because your ability is so great that even I am in awe!]

“Yeah? Are you trying to tell my nephew?”

If you roughly shuffle the cards and look at the savagery, a point with a 100% hit rate would come out… But that’s about it?

[Well… To put it simply, it should be said that it went beyond reaching the sky and pierced the sky… No matter how great a god or being is, its light will fade in front of you. Do you feel like becoming a criminal?]

…Isn’t that an exaggeration too much? What a great talent, but that much…?

You should just listen in one ear and let it out in the other…

[Cluck…Believe it or not, you’re free. I don’t know what to say.]

Anyway, the weasel old man said while lying comfortably in front of me, as if he were at home, sitting roughly on the bed.

[Hmm, by the way, it’s fate that we met face to face like this. Of course, don’t pay the points!]

“Dots?”

Oh my God… Now I live and die and get all the weasel points…

To put it bluntly, it’s not an ordinary weasel, but a mountain spirit weasel inspiration… But is that more mysterious??

Anyway, it’s a point…

“Let’s play around.”

Well, they say they give you points, so let’s try it. I wonder what the Sanshin will give you for fortune.

…But wait, haven’t I become a bit daring? Maybe it’s because I’ve met so many great guys, but I think I’ve grown a bit…

“What do you want to score?”

[It was decided all of a sudden, so I don’t have a big business… For the time being, I’ll have to wait and see if something bothers me!]

“Okay.”

Because I was tired, it was too much of a hassle to go get the card, so I thought of just having a look at it.

[Heul heul. Seeing the contemplation of a beast that is not even the same person in the first place!]

“Well, it’s a little different from other people, isn’t it?”

And when I looked at it now, I tried to see the contemplation of non-human animals, so I could see it clearly.

Hmm, this sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it? Even animals can see…

[Definitely! It wasn’t like that when I met a shaman or something!]

“I see?”

What is my contemplation? Other people in the same industry will see it a little differently.

Anyway, I immediately checked my coronary vision and immediately told me the results.

“There’s nothing particularly special about it. There’s no crisis, no jackpot, and I should say it’s passable… In a way, it’s the best thing.”

[Uh heh heh! Is it like that too?]

“But one minor incident will happen. Roughly… In four days, a dungeon will appear behind the old man who was lying on a wide rock and taking a warm nap in the sunlight. There is one incident that doesn’t really hit the mark.”

[…Wasn’t that a big deal?]

“No, well, it wouldn’t affect your life, and even if you were hit in the first place, it would have been itchy? The old man, who was angry at having his nap interrupted, was also planning to wipe out the entire dungeon.”

Because the dungeon that will appear after old weasel napping is an F-class dungeon where only ordinary goblins appear. Isn’t there no way that the old man, whose name is a mountain god, would fall for something like that?

[Hmm, is that so? Don’t forget! Well, now I’ll have to give you points… Wait a minute!]

The old man, who ran out of the window and told me to wait a moment, came back after a while.

With something in his mouth.

“What is this?”

[Because this land is quite energetic! It’s a simple medicine made by combining a little of that miraculous energy! Well, it doesn’t have a great effect, but if you eat it, it will make you strong for the rest of your life!]

“…What a great effect?”

No, it’s a really good medicine, isn’t it?! To have such a great effect!

[Cluck! Well, eat or sleep before going to bed today!]

“Whoops! Thank you, old man!”

[Hmm, then I’m sure I’ve answered my questions. Let’s go! I will come to play from time to time, so you should come to play from time to time too! When you climb the mountain, I will find you on my own!]

“hahahaha… I’ll go if I think of anything?”

[Cluck… He looks like a goyan. Then go!]

Old man Hoseo laughed so humorously that he was not like a weasel, and he slipped past the half-open window and disappeared.

For reference, I closed the window when I left. Well, what a good inspiration…

“Then I grew up eating this…”

Looking at it, it wasn’t anything strange, and it seemed to have the same effect as the old man said, so I took the pill without thinking and lay down on the bed again.

And this time, unlike before, I was able to fall asleep comfortably.
