My Game Friends Were Foreigners in Mythology

51 – Lower Outer God (9)

“$#*%#&#&?” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞One of the pupils came forward and said something. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Tak. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Then the lanterns were lit and a warm-looking old woman came forward. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’What?’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Kaiga doesn’t come out, so why does this old lady come out? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$#*@#(%@&*? $*#*?(@(You son of a b*tch, what are you doing calling out Mr. Kiuga’s name?)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’Translator.’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞As I pointed the translator at the old woman who was saying something, the voice translated in real time came out. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Oh, why did you come to this remote countryside?] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞No matter how much you speak Korean, you must have heard the word ‘Kuaiga’, but there is no reaction. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Are you sure you don’t know what a kiuga is? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’This is the village.’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I was puzzled and tilted my head. ＜Br＞Obviously, this is the village where K’aigar was resurrected, but the villagers don’t seem to know that at all. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’Did he get up and leave quietly?’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I even thought of that, but it wasn’t like that. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞The Great Old Ones are not kind enough to avoid harming humans who have nothing to do with me. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Didn’t even Ctuga and Cthulhu agree to end the world? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Even if I had no intention of doing any harm if I left, I would have left without caring about the people around me. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞So all the villagers have to go crazy? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$#*@#&$@&#$. (It looks like you can’t understand us. This must also be a blessing from Mr. Kiuga. Follow me.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[If you have nothing to do, I’ll put you to sleep overnight. Say no.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Turb, tumble. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ Her grandmother said so and turned her steps away. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Maybe it means follow me. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’Is that okay?’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I followed him, maintaining a moderate level of tension. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ As I follow her grandmother, her eyes slowly focus on us. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$#*$@#&$@&? (What is that guy?)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$#(*@*#$*@.(Today’s sacrifice. You don’t seem to understand words anyway, so just pay attention to your expression.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞A grandmother talking to her pupils. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ As her grandmother approached, the lanterns illuminated the identity of the pupils, and they were also human beings. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Some of them were holding tools as if they were nervous about my appearance. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞At that time, a man with a physique approached and said. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$#*@#&*$@&. (Poor guy. I don’t know how he got here, but I hope he goes to heaven.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[I don’t know what brought you to this country, but let’s take a break. I’ll fit in with the hospitality of the countryside for a few days.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞It’s better than the Korean countryside. At least no territorial ＜br＞ ＜Br＞Looking at the affection in his tone, it was the appearance of an ordinary, generous country man. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’It’s 8:30 in the evening.’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞The sun had completely set, but it was early in the night. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞For children, it was just the right time for dinner. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$*@#(&$@&.(Come with me. The sacrifice ceremony is at dawn, so I’ll treat you.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Let’s have a meal together with our grandchildren.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞My grandfather, who seemed to be my grandmother’s spouse, told me with a smile. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Since it was a translator, I didn’t have any emotions set in the words themselves, but I still felt good about the warmth that came from the expressions and tone. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’It reminds me of the orphanage’s grandfather.’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞In my orphanage days, there was a grandfather who brought a lot of sweets once a week. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Everyone loved that grandfather very much, but he died of cancer when I was 13 years old.

That grandfather was the one who came to mind.

Wheek, Whiik.

“$#*@#*$@*. (Follow me.)”

[Welcome.]

Turb, tumble.

I followed my grandmother and grandfather.

* * *

The house was a house in which bricks and wood were properly fused.

It was very old-fashioned, but the structure seemed sturdy.

“$#*$*!@#*&#?(Grandpa! What is that guy?)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Grandpa! Have guests arrived? Who is it?] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞As soon as we went inside, a little boy jumped out and said. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”@$&*@!#.(It’s a sacrifice tonight. You can look forward to it.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[This is a guest who will be staying at my house today. Be polite.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$&#*($&*@!(Wow! Really?! Then I want to eat the liver!)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Wow, really?! I can enjoy eating today’s meal!] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”#&#$@#&. (It’s decided by drawing. But if I get a liver, I’ll give it to you.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[I guess so. Then let’s have a meal now.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞After talking for a while, the two walked towards the kitchen. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞“@$&$&@&. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Welcome, young people too. Because tonight is a feast.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞With those words, I followed my grandmother into the kitchen. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞In the kitchen, a grandfather and grandson were preparing a meal. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞The grandson brought a bowl, and the grandfather put a round steak on it. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’Is it really rural?’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Today’s dinner seemed to be delicious beef and pork steaks. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$&@#&$@ (Your seat is over there. Sit down, you fool.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Please sit over there and wait. I don’t need any help. I treat guests, but it can’t be a hassle.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Tadak, tadak. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I translated it into German on a translator and told it to them. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Thank you.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Flinch. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞At that moment, everyone stopped. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Then everyone burst into laughter. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞“$#&@#$&@#&$2$&#!!! ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Ha ha! No need to thank Our village can’t stand seeing hungry customers!] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞My grandfather laughed as he said that. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”#@&!$&$#&*(We’re so lucky to have such an idiot come rolling in!)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ [My grandmother told me to treat lost customers like her family! You don’t have to say that, hahahaha!] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞The boy, who looked to be about 12, clapped and laughed. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”$&@#&$@ (I’ve never seen such an idiot in my life!)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[This custom has been handed down from generation to generation in our village. hehehe.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞My grandmother smiled warmly and brushed my back. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”hahahaha.” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I joined the laugh board and laughed. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I felt puzzled. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’Kuiga must have woken up.’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞According to Nyarlathotep, K’aiga has already awakened. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞That’s precisely in this town. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞But the villagers are just surprisingly kind. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞The contents of the translator are reminiscent of a children’s book for a 3-year-old. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Couldn’t it have woken up and still stay still…

Tak.

By the time I thought so, the family had finished preparing the meal and sat down.

[What kind of meat is this?]

I asked while swallowing the delicious-looking steak.

“$@#@. (Human flesh.)”

[It’s beef from our village farm. The meat quality is awesome.]

“Oh.”

A local beef steak. I’m really curious what it tastes like.

Quad Deuk.

I sliced the steak with a knife and put it in my mouth.

‘Hmm… Maybe it’s because it’s from the mainland, so it tastes a bit different.’

The taste was definitely the best steak I’ve ever eaten.

However, it tasted a little different from the beef I had eaten so far, probably because it was caught naturally in the mainland.

‘Well, as far as beef I’ve ever eaten, I only ate it once by chance.’

Beef may taste different.

Dalgrak, moongrak.

I was so hungry that I ate the steak with my eyes closed.

Because my stomach was full, my head started to work properly.

‘As expected, it’s strange.’

You’re suspiciously kind.

[German -＞ Korean]

[German -＞ Japanese]

I changed the settings of the translator.

“$&#@&$@& (Have you finished eating? Today’s offering must be colorful.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[All parts of the diet? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Sentences translated into Japanese. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I dragged it back and changed it to Korean. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Have you finished eating? Today’s offering is good.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞What do you mean? Sacrifice? Swarm? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞’Does this mean that the quality of the beef is good?’ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞The word sacrifice bothers me. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞So I tried again. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[I have a grandson, but no son or daughter. Did you go up to the city by any chance?] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”@? #$&@#$&@&. (Huh? Oh, what I just ate is my son. Stupid bastard. He died as a sacrifice while talking about leaving town. You are also destined to be like that.)” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Then the grandfather replied with a warm smile. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Un? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Japanese sentences that I do not understand English. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I dragged it back and translated it into Korean. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞[Really? Oh, it’s our son who just ate. Foolish guy, when he left the village, he said something and died as a sacrifice. You are also destined.] ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞”hahahahaha!!!” ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞I clapped and laughed at the sentences in the translator. ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞Are you kidding the translator? ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞ ＜Br＞
