I Became the Companion of the Gods

11 – EP.4 Fuse -1

It is true that divine beasts who are strong enough to shake the world have become my pets.

And it is also true that the divine beasts defeated numerous enemies who threatened me.

However, if you ask me if I am strong, of course I am not.

I myself am an infinitely weak human being, and I consider myself to be one of the weakest among them.

It’s far from me to have flashy abilities like shooting a hole in an enemy’s body like anyone else or slashing an enemy with flashy swordsmanship.

The only thing I can do is desperately run away and use shallow moves.

In that sense, I don’t think the judgment that day was wrong.

“You… ! You’re the one who jumped out with the eggs I hid!”

That judgment of running away without saving the woman in front of him.

“… ….”

“Why are you silent? That guy from back then is right!”

I didn’t want to talk for nothing and turn into an argument.

Because it was a day full of hard work, I didn’t have the energy to fight.

Then what should I do now?

Should I just say no? Or will you run away again? If that’s not the case……

“Miho.”

“Yes! Why did you call me, Mr. Seo?”

Even though the woman in front of me spoke so softly that I couldn’t hear it, my pet fox somehow heard it and ran to where I was.

“Give that woman the illusion of not being able to see me.”

“Okay!”

Let’s use Miho’s chance comfortably.

“Ha? A sudden hallucination, what is that… ! Uh, uh… ?”

She is a woman who keeps rubbing her eyes anxiously, perhaps because she has encountered a strange sight.

She was confused because she couldn’t see me even though I was right in front of her.

“As expected, Miho’s hallucination, performance is certain.”

“Of course! If it was an ability that would do no good to West, she would have bitten her tongue, committed suicide, and been reborn!”

Thank you for helping me, but such a story is too heavy.

No matter how much you love me, I want you to refrain from talking about committing suicide for me.

“Come to think of it, I only realized now that she is the woman of that time, right?”

“Right. You seem to know my face, so I called you before it bothered me.”

“Aha! In other words, has the West been relying on me? Please feel free to rely on me!! I can do anything for you!”

“Yes, yes.”

I complimented Miho, who reacted excessively every time, by stroking her hair instead of saying thank you.

“Ehehehe!!”

I just stroked her hair, but when I see Miho wagging her tail violently with her ears down, I smile without realizing it.

Because she was surprised that a child who is usually frighteningly obsessive reveals her pure side as much as Tia’s in this situation.

“Then Mr. West! Shall we get rid of this b*tch that annoys you in advance?”

After being praised once, the overmotivated fox doesn’t hesitate to speak out her cruel words.

As expected, Miho is surprisingly consistent… She gets to thinking

“Because you don’t have to do that. Let’s take Tiana and go back to her house.”

“Yes!”

She is a woman who shouldn’t have any relationship with me.

She met again by chance this time, but it will never happen again.

“Can the same thing happen twice?”

…… I earnestly pray to God that it doesn’t really happen.

***

“Haa….”

God is dead!

How can bad expectations just happen?

A woman frowning and glaring at me like she would kill me.

A large man exercising with dumbbells without even breathing.

Even a woman drinking tea while maintaining a single smile.

As soon as the next day came, I was called to the director’s office and was put in a situation where I was confronted by the three above.

“There may be people who know each other, but there will be people who don’t, so let’s introduce them. These are my three official agents. From the right, they are Lee Da-hye, Khan, and Miria. And this…… “

“Director! Why is this guy here!”

A woman jumps up after hitting the table floor once.

It seems that there was so much dissatisfaction with me that the director stopped talking halfway through.

“Agent Dahye, I understand how you feel, but is it worth it to cut me off?”

“That, that’s not it… !”

“If you’re going to complain, at least do it after I’ve finished talking, then I’ll listen to you.”

“Sorry, sorry… ….”

Chief Edwinner, in a low voice, scolds the woman for her unexpected behavior and straightens the relationship between the top and the bottom.

Honestly, seeing him for the first time like a director, I was amazed.

But isn’t this natural?

Hmm…… ?

“Continue, this is Yu Seon-joo, who unofficially became my direct agent this time. Since we will be working together for a long time to come, we will set up a place like this so that you can at least see your face.”

As soon as the director’s words were finished, a smiling woman, Miria, raised her hand and asked a question.

“Director, what do you mean by informal?”

“Oops, my explanation wasn’t enough. He’s an agent, but you can think of him as a secret agent who shouldn’t be known as an agent, so from now on you’ll have to keep quiet about the fact that he’s an agent as well.”

“I understand.”

As soon as Miria’s question was over, another woman, Lee Da-hye, who had a bad relationship with me, raised her hand and asked a question.

I can guess what questions she will ask, but…….

“Director? I just can’t understand! This guy is an agent! He’s the one who not only stole the divine beast egg I hid during the last mission, but also ran away, leaving me in danger!”

“Is that your complaint?”

“It’s my complaint and at the same time it’s an important issue for us! There’s no way you can turn your back on a colleague who runs away without seeing someone in need, right?”

“Yes, but what do you think?”

Regarding this problem, the director handed me the problem as if to tell me that it is meaningful to solve it myself.

“It’s true that he ran away like he said. But there was a good reason.”

“Please explain to them the reason in detail.”

“First, that I am weak. Could an ordinary person who knew nothing about fighting fight well against terrorists? It would be nice if there wasn’t even a hole between the eyebrows.”

Actually, if it weren’t for Miho and Yata, I might have been killed by the terrorists right away.

“Second, I was incubating eggs at the time. I don’t need to explain it, but I don’t even know how to fight, and I’m going to help terrorists with coveted eggs.”

If that’s the case, I’ll lose my life in vain, and the government’s eggs, which are more important than life, will be taken away by terrorists.

I don’t think there will ever be a worst-case scenario like that.

“Finally, the third reason I ran away was…… He just wasn’t trustworthy.”

In the beginning, I made the mistake of bluffing.

She just couldn’t believe her uselessly provoking her terrorists at every turn.

“As expected.”

“Ummm…. Surely.”

“Somehow it seemed like it would be~”

I haven’t even explained it in detail yet, but the director and female colleagues nod in agreement.

… Do you always have a lot of problems? That person

“Ugh… ! That said, it’s too much to just pass by when you see someone in danger!”

“I was going to report it, but it just couldn’t be done because it was out of the call area.”

“Then why did I take the hidden egg?”

“I never thought it was an egg hidden by a government agent…. “

“Kwyiyi…… “

It was only when I saw Tia getting more sullen that I realized I had almost made a mistake and quickly corrected it.

“Kuhm!! I would have asked for help, taking care of it to keep it out of the hands of terrorists.”

We must not forget.

Tia is my only conscience and my only refuge…….

“I think this is enough to explain the reason. Are there any other differences?”

“No….”

“Okay then, now that the core of the agents is gone, let’s talk about the actual mission.”

“Before that, can I ask you a question?”

“Ah, it doesn’t matter.”

“They said that I am an agent is a secret and should not be known, but I want to know why I am only revealing that secret to them.”

As they are highly trusted agents of the director, it is certain that they are not traitors to the agency.

Even so, I wondered why they wanted to share secrets about me with them.

“The reason is related to this mission.”

In other words, all you have to do is listen to the director’s story calmly.

I nodded to this and quietly waited for his next words.

“Before explaining the mission, let me spread one important news. The other day, the hideout of the terrorists who were trying to steal the dragon’s egg was discovered this time.”

“At last!! I finally got my revenge on them!”

Dahye is happy and enthusiastic by herself.

But even for a moment, realizing that the rest of the people didn’t look good, she tilted her head.

“What? What’s wrong with everyone?”

Did you really not understand?

“The timing is strange, the time when the terrorists’ hideout was discovered.”

“They are so meticulous that the government couldn’t find them no matter how much they searched for them for five years, Dahye.”

“But it was discovered at the right time, so can’t we just say that the information was leaked on purpose?”

“You guys are right, this is an obvious trap. At the same time, it is also a trap that can only be caught.”

Aha, that was it.

Just now, I thought I knew why the director said it was a trap.

“Since clearing the terrorists’ hideout is a serious matter, the next day, I have to leave to conduct the field myself.”

“Of course! I want to go quickly and catch even one more!”

“Dahye, we can’t go.”

“Uh… ? Why?”

“As long as the director is away, someone has to stay here to protect it.”

“Wouldn’t that be guarded by government security agents?”

Fortunately, the other two are quick-witted people…….

I should be grateful that he didn’t dispel the illusion of the agent that remained inside me.

“The things to protect are me and the dragon, not government agencies, right?”

“Ah… !!”

“Yes, as long as he is an unofficial agent, we cannot take him to the scene. After all, you and the dragons that follow you must inevitably remain here.”

“Shouldn’t it be hidden in a sheltered facility or a safe place?”

“I thought about that possibility, but because of the report I received from the ship owner agent the day before, I put it aside.”

“Is it okay if I ask what kind of report it was?”

“I’ll ask the ship owner’s agent to listen to that again.”

Are you handing it over to me again?

A really selfish person.

“When I left for the dispatch site after receiving the mission from the director, terrorists were already following me. Even though I was supposed to have been given the mission secretly, the fact that I was able to locate and follow me means one thing.”

“A traitor to the government continues to monitor his activities.”

“And you are saying that you are constantly leaking information to terrorists?”

“You two are right, because I can’t explain the situation otherwise.”

“In other words, even if the shipowner’s agent is hidden, it will be meaningless because the institution’s traitor will find out somehow. Do you understand now Agent Dahye?”

“I-I see…” ….”

The traitor couldn’t have been unaware of the situation in which the director had to leave, and the terrorists weren’t just sucking their fingers.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they created this situation in the first place.

“That’s why the agents who will protect him and the dragon will have to remain, and those agents are you.”

“Then this mission is to escort the ship owner and the dragon?”

The director, who answered Miria’s question by nodding his head, turned to me and asked a question this time.

“Now what about ship owner agents? Is this enough to answer the question just now?”

“Yes.”

You can’t blindly trust someone without sharing secrets or information.

Because it was a matter of trust that made both of them uneasy, whether they were protected or protected.

“With this, you think both sides have figured out the situation, let’s end the story here. I believe that you will discuss the detailed countermeasures yourself and come up with a good plan.”

Anyway, he will be busy preparing for the operation to wipe out the terrorists starting tomorrow.

The fact that he invested so much time in me was tantamount to caring about me that much.

Therefore, it was shameless to ask more questions or be fooled into asking for more.

“Finally, if you have time, take the ship owner’s agent to the training ground. You have to show him your fighting ability, so he can be at ease too?”

“Ah, that’s annoying… ….”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

They are truly reassuring people.

Except for one unfaithful woman.

“Hmm…”

Anyway, it’s a training ground for government agencies…….

“Director, what do I do when I go to the training ground because I have no fighting skills?”

“You are useless, take some popcorn, ship owner.”

hahahaha, damn it.

I can’t say anything because it’s true.
