Ki Jae-eon? Is he talking about Ki Jae-eon of Incheon?
‘
Well, the possibility of another person with the same name possessing this level of spiritual power is extremely rare.
‘
He didn’t perfectly understand the geography of Korea, but the distance from Seoul to Incheon was roughly the same as the distance from Tokyo to Kamakura. Estimated travel time is about 1 hour.
‘
Now that it’s come to this, should he see the skills of Korea’s Genius?
‘‘
I hope he’s as strong as possible. Suzuki covered his lower face with his left hand and put the Candy ball in his mouth. The other person did the same.
‘
The two men’s spiritual power began to rage.
And soon, there was a cracking sound that echoed through the room.
The result of the dojo storming was obvious.
“I knew this would happen.”
Kim Ju-won clicked his tongue, looking at the foreign guest who had collapsed.
‘He acted like he was all that.’
He thought he would last until the instant noodles were cooked, but it was only 32 seconds?
There was no joy in the predictable ending. Rather, only the thought of ‘what do I do now’ remained. That’s because the foreign guest had foamed at the mouth and passed out.
“Little Teacher.”
“…….”
“You said you’d do it appropriately.”
We’re both gonna get scolded. What are we gonna do? At Kim Ju-won’s reproachful gaze, Ki Jae-eon rolled his eyes as if to avoid it. He still had the intact Candy ball in his mouth. He mumbled, “I, I controlled it…….” as his own excuse.
“It’s a pain in the ass when Yeong Teacher gets angry. Ah- I don’t know. Little Teacher, you take care of it.”
“Let’s just say Hyung hi, hit him.”
Afraid of the impending scolding (cleaning the bathroom), the two were busy passing on the responsibility with no sense of loyalty.
“It’s mu, much more efficient for one person to take the blame…….”
With a determined expression, Ki Jae-eon grabbed the Japanese man’s collar and dragged him towards Kim Ju-won.
“Are you crazy? You gangster.”
“Wa, watch your mouth to your Teacher.”
“You really should be reported.”
It was around the time they were bickering like that. The door opened without warning.
“Ahahaha! I’m sorry that there’s no suitable food to serve since you’re Japanese. I’ve prepared some rice cakes-.”
Kim Yeong’s voice, who appeared with a smile, gradually faded.
Then he dropped the tray he was holding with a thud. The eyes behind his glasses reached the guest who had collapsed foaming at the mouth. Kim Yeong’s head slowly turned to the two people who had caused the accident. Guys? At the unspoken call, the two flinched.
“Ah, Teacher, it’s not that. Well, what happened was.”
Kim Ju-won clasped his hands together and smiled awkwardly, pulling up the corners of his mouth. His creaking movements were already gripped by fear. Ki Jae-eon also quietly hid behind his broad back.
But.
“It seems we need a pretty long story. Isn’t that right? Ju-won student, Jae-eon Teacher.”
There was no way out.
“Umm.”
Blinking. A bright light is visible in the blurry vision.
“<……Umm, um?>”
It was around the time his mind became clear.
“”
Suzuki was startled and got up. His head throbbed from the sudden movement, but it wasn’t the time to worry about that. He looked around in embarrassment.
‘
Suzuki soon discovered the thick silk blanket covering his lower body.
And the memories that followed.
Ki Jae-eon and Candy ball.
‘
Me? He chuckled.
‘
To completely subdue Suzuki Ryo, the best Exorcist in Chokaji Shrine! Sugoine (amazing). Suzuki smiled. Then he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“
He looked more relieved than someone who had failed at dojo storming.
No, to be exact, he had a ‘I’ve been waiting’ expression.
“”
It was natural.
Because Suzuki Ryo’s real purpose was not ‘dojo storming’.
“
Yes, that’s right.
Suzuki Ryo, an Exorcist from Chokaji Shrine in Japan.
The real reason he came to Korea was to find a ‘strong’ Exorcist to save his comrades.
“Oh? You’re awake!”
Just in time, the door opened and Rice Cake Man and…… Yankee, and Ki Jae-eon entered.
Suzuki got up from his seat and approached Ki Jae-eon. His stride contained an excitement that could not be hidden. The other two stopped his fierce rush. They probably misunderstood his aggressive appearance.
“Calm down first, and listen to us. The kids here didn’t do it on purpose. Yes, yes.”
“I’m telling you in advance, don’t even think about throwing a punch in front of me-.”
“
Suzuki suddenly took a dogeza position. Kimujaeeon sama. Ki Jae-eon was surprised by his cry.
“”
“Oh my- why are you doing this. Get up!”
“Did he go crazy after fainting? Old man, I’m not gonna kill you. Get up. What are you begging for.”
“Kim Ju-won! What’s with your language. Are you going to keep upsetting Teacher? Hurry up and help him!”
Ki Jae-eon, who had been silently among the noisy people, hesitated and opened his lips. “
“<……Is there something wrong.>”
As if that one word was his last hope, Suzuki’s head went even further to the floor. It was almost at the level of hitting his forehead. It was no use even if they tried to get him up from the side. Suzuki frowned as if in pain, and then opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“
And the story he told was truly shocking.
[It is said that it started with the disappearance of a monk from a temple. A sudden disappearance. Naturally, the investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department came first. However, unfortunately, no trace could be found and it remained an unsolved case.]
“”
[Monks, Exorcists, fortune tellers, etc., people in similar professions disappeared one after another without a sound. Finally, following his Teacher (Ibarashi), who noticed something strange, he began the investigation.]
“
Suzuki gritted his teeth, mentioning someone’s name.
“
He continued the remaining story in a trembling voice as if swallowing his anger.
[After a long chase, they found a clue and discovered the place where the missing people had disappeared. It was a large mountain on the outskirts of Tokyo. They entered the deep forest with questions and found a large river that emitted a strange energy.]
“
As if recalling that time, Suzuki’s breathing stopped for a moment.
“
Ki Jae-eon, who had heard this far, thought it was the work of a Water ghost. But Suzuki immediately denied it.
[He himself suspected it was the work of a Water ghost, but he said he realized it wasn’t when he saw that the condition of the captured people was completely ‘preserved’.]
“
Suzuki slowly raised his head.
“
“<……Mermaid?>”
“
“<…….>”
“”
“
“
Suzuki let out a self-deprecating laugh.
“
“
“
Suzuki once again slammed his forehead on the floor.
“
His earnestness was enough to be conveyed even to those who could not understand his words.
