How Did I Become a Great Prophet chapter 26
26 – The customer is tired
The first place Wi Ji-yeong, who led me, headed to was the nearest bath where she had been soaking until just a moment ago.
“In this room, there are baths that I made myself. It’s a place I made with special care.”
Hooung!
As Dokma beckoned, the thick green fog that blocked the other side of the nearby bath lifted, and I could see all the way beyond.
And there, as she said, there were various wide baths.
Looking at it like this, how can I say it… It reminded me of my memories of going to the sauna and soaking in the bath.
You might think of a hot spring…Are you the type who enjoys soaking in a hot bath?
“Each bath is filled with my own poison, which makes it feel especially good.”
…Ah, I guess I underestimated the mind of an S-rank superman…
No, you enjoy soaking in a dock?! Even though her nickname is Dokma, it did not resonate with me as an ordinary petit bourgeois.
“The name of this bath is ‘Swamp.’
Wee Ji-Young, with a subtle expression on her face, raised her hand, and a hole pierced through her ceiling, and something fell onto her hand.
…No, how did you do this again?!
“Wouldn’t you like to see why it is a swamp?”
She spoke to me, and before I could respond, she dropped something in her hand onto the puddle.
Then, what fell on top of the bath melted quietly and reliably without making any sound or reaction, and eventually completely melted into the bath.
“This one is sticky, so once you catch it, you won’t let go of it. That’s why the one caught in it sinks slowly without getting out and becomes one with the swamp. However, its efficacy is not great except for use as a hot water. .”
“…That’s right?”
Why are you showing me such an eerie sight?
Is this a subtle threat? If it bothers you, you’re going to throw it in there?
If that was the intention, it was the correct answer. From that moment on, when I realized that the people who were filling the large baths were poisonous, this space felt so creepy. Even more so after seeing the scene just before.
However, whether or not he knew my feelings, Wi Ji-young continued to lead me slowly to another bath.
“This soup is hot fire. It gives a burning pain that feels like burning the inside, not the outside, and those who get it properly will suffer deep internal injuries and become disabled. The warm feeling is quite nice.”
“It’s motionless. If you get hit, everything except your thoughts will stop. Mana, breathing, blood, and the flowing heart… It’s not very efficient, but you can feel comfortable when you enter it.”
“This is a cold soul. It will make you die after suffering from severe chills for about a week. It’s not that great, so it’s a good one to sell. It’s cool, so it’s good to go in the summer.”
“This is a cascade…”
“This is…”
It was only after being meticulously introduced to each and every one of the poison-filled baths, each one of which had devastating effects, that I was able to stay away from them.
Wow… I was terrified the whole time I was walking… I wondered if I might have taken the wrong step while walking and fallen into it…
Ahhh… How long have we been together, we’re getting so exhausted…
“It’s a pity that I can’t go inside with Mr. Han-ul Dam because he’s not that strong yet. Next time, I’ll try to make a yaktang that even the teacher can enter.”
“Ah, thank you…?”
Oh my God! Did you think of going in there with me…! I’m so glad I didn’t put it into action.
“Then, now that you’ve seen Tang, I’ll introduce you to the others.”
No, this is enough…!
But I couldn’t stop Wi Ji-young’s hand, who seemed to be amused for some reason, as if she was unexpectedly excited, and I started following Wi Ji-young around the house.
Strange and eerie, the lab where she works her venom. A private office that handles business, a botanical garden made up of countless poisonous plants, all of which are not dangerous, and a vast breeding ground where various poisonous monsters are subdued and raised by force.
…Even her private bedroom, which looks more spacious and luxurious than any hotel…
I threw away the gown I was wearing and walked around all the different places of the stars with Wi Ji-young dressed in plain clothes and fancy accessories.
Of course nothing dangerous happened because I went with Wi Ji-yeong, the owner of this mansion… But I was very tired mentally.
“Now, this is the last time. This is your bedroom, where you will be staying while Mr. Han-ul Dam stays.”
Aigoo…It’s fortunate…Now it’s finally the end…
I’m even going to my room, so I can get some rest! Thank god…!
My eyes regained light after seeing a ray of hope, and Wi Ji-young stared at my face with an expressionless face.
Still standing still.
“…Uh, is there a problem?”
“No problem. I just thought it was a nice face.”
“Oh, I see…?”
Suddenly, what are you talking about again? He’s a really tough guy…
Anyway, Wee Ji-Young took her steps again, and I reached my room before long.
“Now, this is your room.”
“Ohh…!”
I really liked the room that Wi Ji-young guided me to.
It seemed wider than my house even though it was only one room, and it looked very luxurious.
Sometimes when I travel domestically, I sleep in a hotel a few times, and it was so nice that it was on a different level from that hotel room.
Wow, I never thought I would have such a luxury…
“You are free to use the facilities and facilities here. If you want something, press the bell over there and a servant will come. There is no need to be burdened. You are my friend and guest.”
“Ah, thank you. Wi Jiyoung…?”
“That sounds not bad. Then I’ll take a good rest and see you tomorrow. I want you to see my divination tomorrow. I’ll tell you what it is when I get my divination tomorrow.”
“It’s a point…Yes. I understand.”
As expected, they didn’t bother to invite me here, and it seemed like they were trying to find out about me.
We’ll know tomorrow what it’s all about.
Actually, I wasn’t particularly curious about what it was like. I’m too tired right now to pay close attention to what I’m going to know tomorrow anyway.
Eh… Did a guy named Yeo-dok come with him? I wanted to quickly dive into that soft-looking bed and fall asleep.
Wi Ji-young, who looked at me for a moment, left the room without a sound.
*****************
The night passed quickly, and the morning was bright.
I woke up after a good night’s sleep and felt better, so I ate breakfast in a good mood.
I pressed the bell to ask, and there was nothing Korean, Chinese, Western, or Japanese food could not do, so I ate Chinese food while I was in China.
Hmm, as expected, it felt different from ordering jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork at a local Chinese restaurant. The chef is very good at cooking, so it was very delicious.
Ah, but is Jajangmyeon Korean food? I suddenly think
Anyway, I quickly got rid of my miscellaneous thoughts and spent my time leisurely.
Take a little walk under the guidance of the people who work here, spend time comfortably in your room…And things like that.
Of course, I didn’t even go near the place I went to with Wi Ji-young’s guide yesterday. Because it’s too dangerous for an ordinary person like me to approach. I didn’t even want to go to a place where poison was overflowing in the first place.
Anyway, when I was spending time comfortably like that, I was able to solve the problems from breakfast to lunch and dinner, when Wi Ji-young called me.
Before going to bed yesterday, there was a story I heard directly from Wi Ji-young, so I thought it was time for a divination, so I immediately grabbed my card and moved.
“Huh? Are you guys going too?”
“Ahahahaha. I’m interested because the executive is doing fortune-telling!”
“Teacher’s fortune is always mysterious! It’s impossible not to be interested in it?”
“Whoops… I can’t miss something interesting like this, having experienced it myself. Hanul’s point doesn’t change just because someone sees it, right?”
“That’s right.”
Still, it was nice to see these guys again after yesterday’s exhaustion. It was like I hadn’t seen you in a day.
When I went into the room where Wee Ji-young was waiting with the guys we met along the way, Wi Ji-young was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed in a large room with a wide table set aside.
“Are you here, Mr. Hanul. Did you eat?”
“Oh yes. I ate.”
“Oh, sorry. I was going to eat with you if you haven’t already.”
“hahahaha… That’s unfortunate…”
I had a sudden thought… Seeing that the soup is also filled with poison, would a poison horse eat poison as well?
First of all, I easily brushed off my thoughts and sat down on the chair right opposite her, following Wi Ji-young’s guidance.
Ricone, Dark Cat, and Akame were seated on chairs placed a little further away from each other so that they could watch without being disturbed.
“Well then, what do you want to see the divination about? Shall we listen?”
I asked while taking out my card, and Wi Ji-young looked drowsy but expressionless.
“Yesterday, Mr. Han-ul Dam, I felt a lot while spending time with you. Originally, I was thinking of asking something else as a test… But thanks to you, I’ve changed my mind.”
The green eyes of Wei Ji-young, who sat with her legs crossed, put me right into it.
“Suddenly, I wanted to overcome the last wall blocking me. What do I lack? Mr. Hanul Dam.”
A strange atmosphere that I haven’t felt from other S rank supermen.
Something strange like that was felt quite strongly in Wi Ji-young now.
