My Game Friends Were Foreigners in Mythology

18 – How to have a Fallen Lady (6)

Dating.

It’s not what it originally meant, but it’s commonly used to mean ‘spending time with a lover.’ It is a word used to mean

‘Is he looking at me as a romantic interest right now?’

If you think like that, it’s quite troublesome.

I’ve never liked a woman before.

It is because I have lived a life in the form of investing to the extreme in individuals rather than coexisting with others.

Because life is going well and there are more people around me, I am interested in others, but that’s it.

Nyarlathotep, Ktuga, Iris, all three of them have never been seen as romantic partners yet.

The relationship I want from Iris is a leader and a subordinate, not a lover.

“What do you mean?”

So I asked first.

Couldn’t it be that what she’s saying isn’t what I’m concerned about?

“…I continued to ponder over the five days you gave me.”

What?

No, you fainted for five days in the first place?

“The meaning of the word that the future is important…”

No, that just means we want to be friends from now on?

Is that a difficult word to ponder for so long?

“As a result of constant thought, I finally realized it!”

“…What?”

“I’ll take care of things that threaten my life, so I’m going to take care of myself from now on!!”

No, you crazy b*tch.

“That’s why I’ve decided to take you forward.”

After saying that, Iris just looked downcast.

“I don’t have anything anymore.”

She is more broken than she thought.

I didn’t mean that, but it seemed to her that it had become the only meaning of her meaningless life.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the love story I was worried about.

By the way.

“…Would you like to meet me?”

It went the way I intended, but I feel uncomfortable at this rate.

By the way, it’s not that I’m uncomfortable that she complied so easily.

‘It’s too easy.’

This isn’t something only Nyarlathotep’s contractors can do, it’s a simple thing that ordinary humans can do too.

Who wouldn’t be able to tell a human who has fallen to the bottom to deal with anything?

That was my complaint.

At most, it became an incarnation of something more than a constellation, but the result was something that even mediocre people could produce.

I have to produce results that I’m satisfied with…

“Whoa.”

I don’t know what nonsense I keep talking about.

If it just goes well, that’s it. What are you satisfied with, what is this nonsense?

That’s it. I ended up with a good subordinate.

“Did you ask me to go on a date?”

“Yes? Yes.”

I asked her, waiting for her answer.

I already had a subordinate, but I was thinking of doing what I wanted to do.

“Okay, let’s go.”

* * *

“You’re out.”

Nyarlathotep confirmed that Kim Hyeon-seong had gone out with Iris and left the room.

“Wow, Citpal. I thought you were looking around because you were frustrated.”

After that, Ctuga jumped out of the small room.

“Ktuga, it seems that something strange has happened to Rruye.”

“What?”

Nyarlathotep spoke to Ctuga with a serious face.

“The passage of time has become extremely fast.”

“…”

At those words, Ctu also swallowed saliva with an extremely nervous expression.

Le Rue.

An ancient city sunk somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

And at the same time, it is also a place where only ‘one existence’ is sealed.

“What did Cthulhu do?”

Ktuga asked in a slightly trembling voice.

‘There is something wrong with Leruhe.’ It was a reaction that anyone who knew the meaning of the word would show.

Cthulhu, High Priestess of the Great Old Ones.

It was so powerful that even the Outer Gods couldn’t handle it, so it was sealed at the bottom of the Earth’s deep sea.

The problem is that even the seal is unstable and will be released someday.

But that wasn’t the case now.

The flow of time in Leruhe has become extremely fast.

A year feels like a day here.

In other words, it was said that there was a high possibility that it was still speeding up.

Originally, the seal of Leruhe is released when the constellations in the sky find their proper place.

But after eons of time, the effect may simply be weakened and loosened.

Cthulhu awakens.

That was something that even Nyarlathotep, the Outer God, was wary of.

“I’ll have to see it for myself. If I’d known this would happen, I’d hear it often…”

“I also visited 100 years ago for the last time… Come and see me as soon as possible.”

For the first time, the two who were always fighting came to mind.

So Nyarlathotep sank into the ground and disappeared.

I was crawling toward Rruye.

“I’m hungry. Do you know of a good restaurant?”

Maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten anything for five days, and I’m really hungry like crazy.

I have never felt so hungry in my life.

‘But don’t you fall behind if you don’t drink or eat for five days?’

Well, Nyarlathotep must have provided some intermediate nutrients.

If it’s him, it’s possible enough.

“Are you talking about a good restaurant? There’s another place I know well!”

Fortunately, as soon as she asked if she was familiar with places like restaurants, she answered right away.

But there was a part that I was a little worried about.

‘Can I follow his taste?’

I don’t know what to say with my mouth, but I was a so-called ‘old man’s appetite’.

To be precise, it could be described as ‘a real man meme-like taste’.

Ever since I was little, I ate the red ginseng candy that others hate.

That didn’t mean I wouldn’t eat other delicious fruit candies.

If you look at it like this, you could say that I was an omnivore, but there was one food I absolutely hated.

It was the food of the human emotions.

Every time I see someone like to eat something like strawberry semen chocolate chips, is it true that I live in the same country as these? I had doubts.

If Iris were of the same species as them, I honestly wouldn’t be able to follow her taste.

“Here it is!”

[Original Grandma Homemade Soup Restaurant]

However, as if my worries were not as good as toilet paper, she proudly brought me to a soup restaurant.

“Is it a soup restaurant?”

“Yes! This is my go-to place whenever I’m short on money!”

A kid who looks like he’s going to eat maratang and boil a fat kalong for dessert. Strangely, his appetite is similar to mine.

The ring.

It is the original grandmother’s soup restaurant, but we sat down after passing through the strangely state-of-the-art automatic door.

‘Don’t places like this usually preserve the old atmosphere?’

‘Is this MZ Grandma?’ As I was thinking about it, she started talking to me.

“Shall I order a drink?”

“Uh…Just a can of Coke.”

When I looked at the table, my portion of cutlery and water was already set.

It feels like seeing a maid in everyday clothes.

Looking at this, it feels like brainwashing went well.

‘Did I hit it too hard?’

With her person, her personal, she was given a rotten rope in the name of an opportunity to atone for ‘losing her everything’.

But I never imagined that it would be so easily eaten.

“But what do you mean there’s nothing now?”

-I don’t have anything anymore.

I suddenly remembered what she had said earlier with her dejected expression.

What I do know is that her reputation was so bad that she fell to the bottom and that she failed the assassination request of the Constellation, but I don’t know the details.

“hahahaha, that’s actually…”

She put on a puzzled expression at my words, then she struggled to smile and started talking.

“The reason I wanted to become a hero was actually to revive my family.”

“Hmm.”

The Ghostrick family.

It’s a family that has produced many famous shamans, but I heard that the shaman’s seed is on the verge of ruin.

“My mother and father, who have been kind since I was little, and the sisters who have lived together in the same room. I wanted to make them all happy.”

“Hmm.”

“So I came to the academy to become the best and revive Ghostrick, but I was asked to kill by the Constellation.”

“Hmm.”

“I just did it because if I didn’t accept it, my goal would be at a disadvantage. While pretending to be a villain, I masturbated.”

“Hmm.”

I just nodded my head and listened to the story.

Suddenly, I felt like I knew why I was uncomfortable with this result.

“After being defeated by you like that, I gave you 500 million won and the Book of Spirit.”

“It was.”

From noble mtl dot com

“The total price is about 900 million won. It may be the price of chewing gum for other big families, but for us, it was a large amount of money that contained the existence of the family.”

“Hmm.”

“So I was cut off by my disappointed father. I can’t use the last name Ghostrick anymore.”

This is a pretty shocking fact.

No matter how great a sin Iris has committed, she spurns her own bloodline lightly.

I felt like I knew the cause of my discomfort.

“Furthermore, the Constellation was disappointed and said that it would no longer support me. I am no longer a genius. A genius without a Constellation, what kind of genius is that?”

“…”

The last time I said that, I didn’t answer.

I finally found out. Cause i was uncomfortable.

“But I don’t care anymore! Now I’ve found something to do, right?”

“mmm, it is. Yes, it is.”

If it’s inconvenient, you have to solve it.

“Soup served.”

I thought as I watched the soup and side dishes I ordered being set in front of me.

One real value for money is over.

I also remembered how she tried to revitalize her family by taking care of cost performance as much as possible due to lack of money.

“Then do you want to eat something?”

She asked with her bright face.

“Your Constellation.”

There was only one reason I was uncomfortable.

The stories connected with her were annoying.

‘I have to get rid of things that irritate me.’

I laughed.
