NOVEL NEXT chapter 19
19 – 19. Maeuntang tastes really good
At 6 o’clock in the morning
As soon as I woke up, I packed my things and started preparing to move.
“Huh… It’s really salty”
It’s disgusting.
I have learned well that a vacation by the sea is only hard work unless you have money to waste.
As a substitute for breakfast, I roughly chewed a bar of chocolate and organized my luggage. Ready to leave
“If you look at the approximate location…”
I wonder if I can go all the way up here and turn west once.
The more I think about it, the tighter the schedule. Are you going to climb a mountain?
“…Let’s think as we go”
It is said that most of the worries before execution are useless worries.
…
..
.
Halfway up the mountain
A clear river flows next to it, and small animals and plants grow nearby.
Where there is water, life naturally gathers. It has more food than other places…
“Kiyat——hoo!”
Clear water is flowing.
This is the most important thing.
Clear water. There is a continuous supply of unpolluted water.
I threw away the thought that there might be people around and jumped into the river as hard as I could.
“Hey hey… I’m sick!”
Sensation of salt and sweat being thoroughly washed away
I wonder if this is the life of a civilized person as he puts the clothes that he has stayed in for several days in water to wash.
It’s actually a life closer to a natural person than a civilized person, but anyway
“There are a lot of fish. I can see something like crayfish.”
It seems that changing the location was the correct answer.
There are plenty of foods that catch your eye only at the present time.
I wanted to catch and eat right away like a chimney, but unfortunately I had to find a place to stay first.
‘I’ll eat it. You can get it anytime, but…’
If you don’t build a house in advance, you’ll end up wandering around later.
It’s like a bitter newcomer to work since he bought a house far away from the metropolitan area while trembling at the price of land in Seoul, and the commute time is 4 hours round trip.
Even though it’s hard, it’s a way to benefit the future in many ways by casting the egg piercing in advance.
I thought that was impossible, so in my previous life, I thought my head was splitting in many ways——No, why did the words flow like this?
“There’s…A place to sleep!”
A place where you can sleep moderately without being humid while walking along a nearby river
I immediately settled down, put down my luggage, and took a quick look around.
“As expected, I can see traces of where I used to live”
For example, traces of a fire. Traces of sleep were visible in every nook and cranny.
First of all, you’d better avoid this place just in case. Still, just in case, out of curiosity, I checked who stayed here through [Past Poems].
“…Minerva?”
I saw Minerva and several other cadets.
Judging by the situation, it is judged that Minerva led the group by acting as a leader.
When I projected the surrounding objects into [Past Time], It was impressive that Minerva appeared without exception.
“Hmm…Minerva, ramen”
I came to the conclusion that there would be nothing wrong with settling here.
I roughly pick up the trees nearby and complete the house building I do every time.
After catching fish in the river for the rest of the time…
“It’s time to use this”
******************
Around that time, in the case of Minerva and the others
“I’m sorry, Captain…”
“The resistance is too strong…”
“…No. It was largely my fault.”
The result of the subjugation of Mars
Unfortunately, I missed Mars.
As much as she was stronger than expected, her plan to capture her and attack her from the surroundings was thwarted.
‘Obviously, I remember that I wasn’t this strong before…’
The sense of weight felt from the knife has changed.
A little heavier, a little stronger.
Mars took another step forward in a month at best
Unexpected growth in turn led to damage to the group.
“Because I’m lacking…”
As expected. I’m still weak
Minerva tightened her grip on the hand holding the sword and bit her lip.
‘…No, come to your senses, Minerva’
A sharp pain
At the same time, the eyes returned to reason
“First, go back to your residence. After recovering your health there, let’s proceed with subjugation again.”
Anyway, Mars’ condition was not normal.
His face was dry and dark circles under his eyes appeared to have been starving.
Even when fighting sword-to-sword, I couldn’t find any composure.
Proof that you are not the only one in a hurry
On the contrary, if you tighten it calmly and slowly, as if putting pressure on a noose, it is only natural that you will eventually win in your hands.
Minerva regained her composure and took care of her group.
But…
“Captain… There’s a stranger in my house…!”
“Who doesn’t know?”
I hear the urgent news before I can regain my composure.
“First of all, they’re not our kids. They seem to come from somewhere else… Sniff… Sniff… Uh huh?”
“…This smell”
At the same time, a sharp scent that could never be felt in the forest lingered in her nose.
Spicy and rumbling in the stomach, a smell that gradually draws us closer to the hungry and weary
“First of all… I will lead first.”
“……Gulp!”
Minerva clears the road ahead of the salivating crew
Grabbing a hungry stomach, she slowly moved forward.
‘If we run into each other…’
What should I do?
Raid? Or appeasement?
Either that or exchange?
An empty stomach gnaws at reason, and fatigue makes the spirit sluggish.
In the end, under a situation where the body is already led by the smell before you can judge anything
“…Chrono-san?”
“Are you here?”
Why is Mr. Chrono at their site?
“I’ve been waiting for a long time, but now it’s here”
“What the hell is this…”
For what purpose?
Why did you come here?
“I boiled Maeuntang once. Do you want to eat it? I boiled a lot just in case!”
“”””………..””””
It didn’t matter to her anymore, to her men.
“But the problem with this is that I don’t have a bowl?”
So, make a bowl ‘Wow’
“”””……Wooooo!!!!””””
Bowl!
Gip Meader Bowl!
Wooden bowl! Stone bowl! An earthen bowl or whatever!
“Me! I brought the bowl!”
“Shut up! Do you intend to insult Maeuntang-nim with that dirty bowl! Rather than that, in my wooden bowl please! Please!”
“Ahh… I’m a wind type so I can’t make bowls…!”
The cries of hungry and tired demons
Chrono grinned and then—
“──You don’t even know Jang Yu-yuseo, you cultivators!”
“”””Ddong──!!”””
I raised the dagger and cut his head with the handle.
Of course, just because I took a picture didn’t mean it hurt.
Chrono snatched the bowl from the cadet who had a wooden bowl in his hand right in front of him and said while pouring Maeuntang.
“What about this? Isn’t it natural to start with the captain first?”
“”””Oops…!!!”””””
Exhausted from hunger, stained with fatigue
Those who stopped thinking only of themselves and rushed forward
Minerva looked at Chrono in silence while accepting the Maeuntang that Chrono gave her.
“….. Huh? Why? What else is the problem?”
‘How come…’
Am I being treated this well?
What is the purpose?
While worrying and worrying, Chrono speaks.
“Ah… Come to think of it, I didn’t have a spoon.”
“…………”
“There is no cutlery”
“……?”
“Would you like to make it right or just make it?”
“Ah…!”
At some point, Chrono begins to control the cadets.
At this cold and hungry moment, Chrono, who lit a fire and distributed food, looked like ‘the man’ who fed countless people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.
“Eh! Gochujang freshwater grilled!”
“”””Kiaaa!!!””””
Those whose fraud explodes in an instant
Even though I’ve been gathering every time to fill my stomach, I’m never satisfied with the amount, and I’ve struggled with hardship every time, and my diet was all about eating bitter grass roots.
In the meantime, the stimulus of ‘deliciousness’ that they barely tasted was enough to turn their brains around.
Even the amount is too much
Jinhae soup
My stomach is full after eating, the fire is warm, there is no paradise on earth.
“Chrono, it’s late to say this, but welcome to our group!”
“A talented person like you is always welcome!”
“Hey…Is this what you pay for those 10kg?”
At some point, the enmity disappeared and only goodwill remained
Chrono mingled with them and talked about their journey so far.
“That’s how you do it? Do you guys know the rabbit’s fur in the night sky? We also had a fireworks display on the beach, but now the only thing left is a mountain, so I came here.”
“…Is it real?”
Mostly, listening to the story of Chrono, I wondered if he was going through the same test as us, but I skipped that part.
“Mr. Chrono”
“Whoah~~~ Am…Why?”
Minerva calmly spoke her heart to Chrono.
“Thank you”
“…Stop”
I can’t do this
Chrono murmurs softly
I stand up from my seat and shout out loud
“Young hand to watch a movie!”
“Me!”
“Nana!”
“Nana Nana Nana!!”
Out of time movie theater
The cell phone that Chrono brought is working hard today as well.
…

.
In the case of Izueum Yuno
“…Mars?”
“!,…Yuno.”
I ran into a person while going out to do business for a while.
“Mars…How come…”
“…What. Alpha?”
Mars
The condition did not look good in many ways.
Blood is bleeding everywhere.
An ugly purple bruise was also visible.
He looked very tired, and the greatsword in his hand looked more like a cane than a greatsword.
“Mars. Come with me. I’ll tell Ther.”
“…..Enough”
“Mars”
“…….Sorry, but not right now”
Mars shook his head.
I was very grateful for Yuno’s suggestion.
I was very grateful for the fact that it was a helping hand for myself.
But that’s why, that’s why I couldn’t get any closer.
‘If you do something wrong…Even Yuno will be harmed’
It was enough for me to see the curse.
Mars rallied again and was about to move his steps——but, suddenly, a strange energy welled up in his body, and he turned his head toward Yuno.
“Yuno, you…”
“You’d definitely go even if I told you not to go anyway, right?”
Juno puts his hand towards Marth’s body
Hera’s protection dwelled in Juno’s hands, and he restored Mars’ body, albeit weakly.
“Go. Go you fool.”
“…Aren’t you an idiot?”
“No. Stupid.”
Chronodo
You too
It’s just that they’re both equally stupid.
[Yuno? Where are you?]
“!,..Go quickly”
“…….Thank you”
Mars left immediately.
The back of Mars disappearing in the darkness and forest
“Yuno, are you here?”
“I’m sorry Ter. My stomach hurts a little…hehehe”
Yuno turned his head and smiled as if nothing was wrong.
It would be nice to live until the last day to meet you.
