56 – 09: I met a strange person again today.

“I know you are wondering why I came. Do not worry. I didn’t come here just to answer Zen questions, but to make a proper request to you…… Oh really! “Stop giving me mugwort!”

“Didn’t you say you were hungry?”

“I’m not hungry!!”

Gwi-tae and Woo-shin – No, judging from his tone of voice, I picked my ears while watching Cheong-ryong doing a strange skit.

Gwitae kept trying to set the tone and speak. It was impossible to control the mood as Cheongryong was pushing mugwort with a tennis ball in it next to him.

Gwitae was in tears when the atmosphere was not as he expected.

But then I asked him why he went out of his way to accept mugwort. She said it was her first time receiving something like this and she found it hard to refuse.

Thanks to that, Wooshin lost the mugwort he had been collecting in his hoodie pocket. Guitae is holding a bunch of mugwort in her hand.

If I stay like this, Wooshin will give me all the mugwort I have collected so far before I talk to him, so I grabbed the blue dragon, or rather Wooshin, by its horn and said,

“Request. It’s good. But I don’t give discounts to my acquaintances. “Do you have any money?”

“Hmm. Of course there is. Do you know how many times rich people create evil spirits while doing dirty work and have their entire secret warehouses destroyed?”

“Truly, how funny it is to see people proudly committing evil deeds beyond what fetishism can handle. Well, the people who die are not rich people, but–“

Guitae smiled at her and said that she brought the money from that place.

Next, she took out several 007 case bags from the shadows at her feet and showed the contents. Inside, there were 50,000 won bills piled up inside the case bags.

Approximately how much would this cost? It was natural to see this amount of cash piled up, but I was a little appalled because I had only seen it in movies.

What kind of request are you applying for by preparing this much cash? I asked, drinking an ionic drink as is my habit in the heat.

“What is the content?”

“An evil spirit that attacked you. A grade A demon. “You are disturbing the Hong Kong grandmother.”

“The guy on the bridge nearby will take care of it, so there’s no need to ask me to do it.”

I pointed with my thumb to the place where the main character and the kid were.

Since the protagonist took her child out and tried to do something, there was no need for Guitae to do anything to deal with the Hong Kong grandmother.

I am a person who wants to make money, but receiving money without doing anything is a bit weird.

This time, I was dragged by the main character to a cafe infested with evil spirits, and after 30 seconds of thinking, I came up with a more appropriate standard for rejecting requests. The standard is as follows.

First of all, if it is a request that I cannot fulfill.

If you are trying to f*ck me through a request.

Lastly, there is a case where the request is resolved and the money is received even if I do nothing.

Usually, these three criteria are used to decide whether or not to accept a request, but the biggest criterion is whether or not I am in a bad mood that day.

Honestly, even if I think about it, I’m not sure if I can consider this as a standard if it includes ‘don’t accept it if it makes you feel bad’ –

Anyway, since this met the standards I had set, I tried to reject Guitae’s request.

“Don’t you know what Koreans say: listen to them until the end? I told him to stop the evil spirit. “Not processing.”

What is interference, not processing? Is it okay to go to a place where a Hong Kong old lady lives and harass her by making noise between floors?

My face was automatically distorted by the bizarre sound of a non-human evil spirit asking me to disturb it.

Guitae spoke with a slightly tired face, holding the beautiful mugwort in her arms.

“Do you know how many deaths have been caused by evil spirits in the past few days?”

“I don’t know.”

I don’t know. Grandma Gaeddong only vaguely remembers that thousands of people die every year, but does she remember how many people have died in recent years?

But now, it is raining more than ever and summer is approaching. She only knows that evil spirits are running rampant.

There were so many evil spirits that even freelancers like me were overflowing with requests to exterminate them.

But the fact that Gwi-tae talks like that means there is something I don’t know.

“The number of deaths caused by evil spirits in the past week is 242. Most of those victims are victims of mass murders that occurred in one place.”

“Angel Orphanage. Samyang Corporation Complex. Jisung Villa Complex Disaster. The Angel Orphanage Disaster was the only incident committed by the Hong Kong grandmother. But in such a short period of time, and many people died.”

“I think this is something evil spirits are up to, so I’m asking you to do it. Of course, this isn’t for a sense of justice or anything like that. It’s purely for my own personal anger.”

After Gwitae said that, she sat down next to me with light steps, smiled and looked straight into my eyes and said.

“Can you accept my request? Please.”

Please do me a favor. I felt a lot better after hearing those words. Guitae said in a tone of sincere request.

When someone asks for something, basic courtesy must be shown. This is especially true when asking for something in exchange for money.

I was thinking of accepting the request as long as they gave me money, but if you say it politely like this, you will feel better, the service will be better, and if you are lucky, you can get it at a cheaper price.

Of course, I find service annoying and will take whatever I get paid for, but-.

In this case, since I just received a request out of the blue, I didn’t have to put any effort into it.

Since she is her final boss, I know relatively much about her. That’s why I know she’s a person who uses her head well.

In the original game, Gwi-tae is in a partnership to increase her power.

Using the gap in the contract to create a moment for the group of evil spirits to weaken, they planned the situation. In the end, he is the one who succeeds in obtaining dozens of possessed bodies and A-class evil spirits.

Isn’t Gwitae Root a story where something goes wrong with the main character and a hidden villain appears at the end and the events take a major turn?

If she gets everything she wants and the world becomes a mess, then yes. I could get caught up and the lady could be in danger too.

But I thought it wouldn’t matter since the main character would take care of everything.

I have finally reached the point where the main character may not have the same powers or prowess as in the original game story.

Hmm…… If I were still alive in this world by then……. At that time, all you have to do is put a knife in Guitae and think about it.

But that’s it. For now, let’s think about whether or not to accept this guy’s request.

“Aside from whether or not to accept the request. How would she like to be ‘interrupted’? “Even if you ask me to harass the evil spirit, all I know is to catch it and kill it?”

If you use the expression “Interference,” It is clear that there is something you want done exactly. I rubbed my chin and glanced at Guitae. Guitae said it was natural.

“Of course it is. Well, the meaning has changed a lot these days, but stepping on one’s feet. “No, have you ever heard of the magic of stepping on the ground?”

“No.”

I don’t know about stepping on the ground unless it’s something that kids do while playing at the playground.

If you think about it, the game called stepping on the ground was also called by many different names among children, such as coffee shop, stepping on squid, etc., So I don’t know if it is really a game called stepping on the ground.

I can’t believe I was thinking that. Guitae said he knew that would happen and continued her explanation, tapping her chin.

“It is a ritual in which many people gather on the first full moon of the first lunar month and walk along the place where the spiritual vein flows with a shaman to calm the spiritual vein. Be amazing. “Evil spirits are now imitating that sacrifice.”

“I honestly don’t know if this is a coincidence or not, and I don’t care how many people die. But I really hate the evil spirit called Grandma Hong Kong for a long time.”

As soon as you see Guitae, she shows her fangs with a creepy smile that makes you want to take out her sword.

It was very ominous to see her horizontal pupils becoming thin and her black curse waving beneath her legs.

There is a lot of mugwort in my arms. The unique smell of mugwort swallows up all the ominousness and turns it into a comedy.

“The smell of mugwort is strong.”

“… ….”

Guitae continued her words with a normal face, as if she had smiled like that at a time when I muttered a word.

She said she didn’t hear anything.

-This guy’s face is thicker than I thought. That’s a good thing. Because people have to be shameless to live comfortably.

Whether I am thinking that way or not. Guitae continued her words.

“I really don’t like it, but direct interference is impossible due to the contract I made with the people who go around with the Hong Kong old lady. So, I will steal the child that the Hong Kong old lady is after and prevent her from accomplishing whatever plan she has.”

“After that…… Is it so. “Wouldn’t a strong exorcist who was surprised that the child he was caring for suddenly disappear take care of it?”

As I watched her smile and the way she spoke with the corners of her mouth raised, I thought over what she said, and then raised the corners of her eyes at her puzzlement.

Let alone the fact that the main character is used. Anyone who heard what she said just now knew in advance that she was a Hong Kong grandmother. She was making it known that she could see the movements of her demons.

I had already expected that Gwi-tae would know about my skills since I mentioned the forbidden word during the previous fight.

Considering what she wanted, I expected her to come and touch me like she did today.

That’s why this request is not over for me. Although he knew that she was trying to lead him towards him even after her.

She proudly revealed this with her biggest enemy, Wooshin, by her side? What do you hope for?

“I also want to take advantage of you. I have no intention of opposing you. “I know you won’t believe it.”

“But I wanted to become a relationship where we could ‘help’ each other. Like this. I told you everything without a single lie, right? Even though there was a spirit next to me.”

Guitae said that with this, she revealed everything she could about herself, and she gave me her hand. I looked at her hand and made a noise.

Has it been said that a handshake is a sign of friendship? Guitae’s honest words made me think about many things.

I was wondering what to do with this, and decided to hold his hand just this once.

He confidently said that he would pull me in. Normally, he would have raised his middle finger first, telling me not to be funny.

But. Say that now. That guy must have shown great courage on his own, so I couldn’t easily refuse.

“How I wish I needed a friend…” ….”

“Captain. It certainly seems like that to me. “It’s clear to see that you can’t even ask to be a friend, and you insist on helping!”

“Hey. A god with a tennis ball stuck in his horn? I know that I feel bad about myself. No matter what, you have to say it in such a sarcastic way…… You. If you keep looking at me with that face, are you going to rip my mouth off? They’re really tearing it up! Are you going to tear it up?!”

With a bright red face, he says he wishes he could be friends with someone like me. How can you coldly reject this?

It is true that I am a dirty person with a dirty personality. It’s a bit… To ignore a request made by a child like that…. I think that’s true as a human being.

The content of the request is not about asking someone to be killed. The little boy is stolen midway and kept with him until the surprised protagonist has to deal with the evil spirit known as the Hong Kong grandmother.

To put it simply, the main character’s plan is to kidnap the child he kidnapped, take him with him, and then return him.

It’s a very simple operation. It doesn’t matter because I left my conscience a long time ago in my mother’s womb.

I don’t have to lose anything, and I don’t have to worry about anything. You get quite a lot of money too. Four bags full of 50,000 won bills must be a lot of money.

And what I like most about Guitae’s plan is that I can f*ck up the Hong Kong old lady no matter what.

Then – that’s good. I have to get it too. I checked the status of her cash inside the briefcase she took out and said as I put one of her bags into the bank account.

“You get this much as an advance payment. “Once it’s all done, everything.”

“Okay. “It’s a good deal.”

At my words, Gwitae nodded her head with a truly happy face rather than the grinning smile she had shown so far.

He jokingly said that if he hadn’t accepted the request, he would have tried to buy sympathy by telling old stories.

I quietly swallowed any doubts about whether that was really a joke.

Then, I bought a shopping cart from the store and told Gwi-tae to put it in and take it, and then spoke quietly so that only Woo-shin could hear.

“If that guy is uncomfortable. I want to go to the motel I stayed at last night. “I’ll give you money, so you can stay in your room and rest.”

Until now, it was Wooshin who had shown great eccentricity by taking care of the mugwort he had collected in his hoodie pocket.

I didn’t think Wooshin gave the mugwort to Gwitae out of pure favor.

Even if he was born for a special reason, he is also a divine spirit. Considering the mention of not remembering, there may be some connection between Guitae and Wooshin.

I feel uncomfortable because of unknown connections, but he may have given me the mugwort he collected to hide those feelings in front of me.

I said that while worrying about that. Wooshin smiled brighter at my words and shook her head.

“hehehehe. To be honest, I can’t remember anything that I should think of when I see that child, and it’s ominous, but……. Because the captain cares about this kid. I’ll believe it. “I’m here because my former captain didn’t abandon me in the first place.”

I believe in this child because I care about him.

I had to teach Wooshin not how to survive on the streets, but how to avoid being scammed.

Whether it is a spirit or something else, you will be fooled later by a guy who is good at playing with his tongue. This is clear when you see him confidently say such embarrassing things.

This is why the person who teaches is important. This is what happens when a guy like me tells you something.

When I realized my mistake, I slapped my forehead and sighed.
