I Became the Companion of the Gods

3 – EP.1 I Became a Companion-3 (Modified Version)

Until morning, I thought it was an ordinary day.

Everyday, as usual, leaving school and coming to the back mountain to enjoy nature.

But today, I don’t know why such absurd things keep happening.

Suddenly picking up dragon eggs, seeing the government and terrorists arguing, not hatching divine beasts, getting shot, now a cosplayer who suddenly appeared is said to be my pet.

Actually, maybe I’ve gone crazy.

As it turned out, it was more realistic that I was in a coma due to a car accident three years ago, and that the current situation was a dream.

It’s strange, strange…….

“Seobang? Why?”

“You know, it looks like we’ve met for the first time, isn’t it?”

“Yes! First meeting is right!”

Was it really a crazy b*tch?

Who in the world would call you Seobangnim and call yourself a pet?

No one would do that unless they were really insane.

“To be exact, only Seo-Bang-nim saw me for the first time!”

“What else… ?”

I thought he was an agent in disguise at first because he suddenly appeared and saved me.

But as I kept talking to him, I came to think that he was a really dangerous person mentally.

“Keep it off!! What are your years!”

Come to think of it, there was one more dangerous person.

Besides, he had a pistol in his hand, so we have to subdue him first… !

“Oh… ?”

The arm of a terrorist boss that was already severely damaged.

Not only could the pistol no longer be fired, but protruding bones were protruding through the skin, oozing blood.

The blood I saw earlier and the rupture I heard came from him.

“Excuse me, but can I put off the details?”

“Huh? Well, it doesn’t really matter….”

“Then let’s all descend together first!”

Miho, who completely ignores the boss’s words, has offered to go down with him.

I don’t know if I can follow you, but it’s better to follow the strange b*tch who wants to save you than the bad guy who wants to kill you.

“Hey! You motherf*cker!! Won’t you stop there?”

As expected, he didn’t intend to let go easily. He grips the pistol with his other hand, which was fine, and aims it at us.

However.

“Quaaagh!!”

For some reason, the arm on the other side started twisting in the same way, taking on an ugly shape.

“The surroundings are a bit noisy. Right?”

“Ugh, ugh… ….”

As soon as I saw Miho’s face, I knew it at once.

I don’t know how he did it, but the person who made him that way is the current fox woman.

I’m pretending not to be, but the bloody life hidden behind the smile wasn’t easily hidden.

“Kwyi…… “

This is to the point where even the baby dragon, which has been active all along, comes into my arms and trembles.

That’s all I’ve said.

“Come on, let’s go!”

“Wait!”

Miho urges her to go by pulling her arm.

Her actions made the wound on my leg wide open.

Blood gushed out from the open wound and was scattered here and there.

“…… Ugh!”

“Oh, why?”

“Oh, that just got shot. So, if you stop bleeding for a while…….”

“Now, you’re hurt…” ?”

“Hiccup!”

A cold woman’s words caused a miracle that sent goosebumps all over her body.

“…… Did that little bug make you like this?”

A fox woman carefully looking at my scars.

The life in her eyes is disappearing. A shadow falls over her eyes. The face becomes grim.

Just overall, I was scared of Miho now.

“Kwyi… ! Kwy! Kwyi!!”

I wonder if the baby dragon felt the same way as me, so it panicked and began to tremble.

“That’s not a big injury! You just need to do first aid before it’s too late!”

She tries to tell her that it’s okay, but it’s too late.

Miho was approaching the terrorist boss as if he had already decided to kill him.

“…… Could you wait a moment?”

“Oh, okay… !”

I want to believe that my thoughts are wrong, but it seems impossible.

Because Miho was warming up enough to make a clear sound as he approached.

That is a sign that he will commit it at all costs.

-Wow!!

“Aagh!!”

-Bagak!!

“Uhhhhh!!”

-Kwajik!!

“Please! Stop… ! Aww!!”

She tramples on her femur first, then her pelvis, and finally her spine, leaving her in disrepair.

She was generously providing pain that no one could accept.

I hated that terrorist leader when he shot me in the leg.

However, I feel sorry for him to the point where I can now pray for his rest.

-Quad Deuk!!

“Quaaagh!!”

Is this a dream? If it wasn’t a dream, I couldn’t believe the scene that was unfolding right now.

His limbs are twisting wildly.

A phenomenon in which a woman turns even though she is not even touching it.

It was a strange phenomenon that could not be explained in words.

“I want to take care of you a little more, but… …. I will make you satisfied with this.”

In time, the male body was so damaged that anyone could say it was hopeless.

Should I say I’m barely alive?

It would be better for him to just kill in peace….

“Then Mr. West? Now I will treat you with all my heart!”

Without blinking an eye, Miho turned the terrorist leader into a hideous face.

Even so, when he looks at me, he smiles brightly as if he never did.

It’s scary. Her hamstrings tingled, but I learned not to provoke her.

So let’s stay still.

“Sorry, if I had come earlier, I wouldn’t have been hurt like this…” ….”

Miho took a clean handkerchief out of her arms and wiped the area around the wounded area.

But it doesn’t put pressure on my wound, it just wipes away the blood.

Having doubts about her behavior, I couldn’t stand it and opened my mouth.

“Hey, hemostasis… ?”

“Yes?”

“So, to treat a wound, wouldn’t it be right to stop the bleeding first?”

“That’s fine! It has already stopped the bleeding and even healed the wound.”

“Yes… ?”

I roll up my pants and look up.

Looking at the wound where there should have been a hole, there was no hole, just a well-sealed lump of flesh.

This is… ? Is this what she did?

“What the hell is your identity?”

“My name is Yu Mi-ho, Seo-Bang-nim’s only… !”

“No, I heard that correctly earlier. What I am asking is your fundamental identity.”

“Would you believe me if I said divine beast?”

“Even if you don’t want to believe it, you will have no choice but to believe it.”

It can break limbs and heal penetrating wounds just by looking at it. How can I not believe

It’s strange to be a non-believer.

“Then let me introduce myself again! I am Shinsoo Cheonho and Gumiho! It’s Seo-Bang’s first pet!”

You’re sticking with the introduction that you’re my pet.

Anyway, Cheonho and Gumiho?

“If my knowledge is correct, I think the nine-tailed fox and the Cheonho are completely different entities even though they look similar, right?”

“Right. I am a mixture of Cheonho and Gumiho. So, in fact, there is no clear name for my existence!”

It is obvious that it has golden fur, but the nine tails belong to a nine-tailed fox.

“I see, then what does being my first pet mean?”

Even if it’s empty, it’s not something to say to someone who has lived without a pet.

How much more my first pet is Shinsoo? It is nonsense.

“I think it would be a long story to talk about. Can I go down the mountain and talk to you? If you stay longer, the sun will go down.”

“That is also true. Then let’s just make a phone call for a while and then go down.”

I don’t know if it was me, but deep inside the forest there was a government woman who needed help.

Moreover, since the woman was from the government, I couldn’t leave her unattended.

“If she’s worried about that woman, she’s fine. A lot of people are coming this way right now.”

“It might be reinforcements from terrorists, right?”

“I’m sure they are the ones who came to rescue the woman Seo-Bang-nim was watching over.”

I wonder if you’ve been watching today’s work from the beginning…….

I wouldn’t have believed it if I was just sitting by the sidelines.

“Okay, I’ll trust you and go down.”

“Thank you so much for following me! West!”

Miho clings to me and rubs his face, probably because he was very happy with the trivial words of trust.

I felt a strange sense of déjà vu from that act.

“Quit!”

Ah, deja vu was right.

As if he couldn’t lose, the baby dragon also crawled out of his arms and started rubbing his face.

“You guys… Are you really a god?”

It was a questionable moment again.

***

After coming down from the mountain, the sun was already setting.

It was a sunny morning when I went up, but after experiencing many things, it has already reached this time.

Come to think of it, how should I explain this when I get home?

The son returned with bloodstains on his pants.

Newly born divine baby dragon.

Her true identity is a divine beast, but she can only be said to be a cosplayer.

No matter how much she thought about it, going back like this would only bring confusion.

“Don’t worry! Because with my ability, I can make the problematic elements invisible!”

“Why do you speak as if you read my thoughts?”

“Whoops! Even if you look at it like this, the body that has been watching the west for 20 years! You can tell what Seo Bang-nim is thinking just by looking at his expression, right?”

You’ve been watching me since I was born? So you’re saying he was my pet from the start?

Alas, no way! There are so many things I want to ask that my head feels like it will explode.

“Can I briefly ask you one question here?”

“Anything!”

“What are your skills?”

“It’s a hallucination. Because nine-tailed foxes are originally specialized in enchanting!”

“A hallucination? So, the sights you saw earlier were all hallucinations?”

Is it all an illusion that the terrorist boss turned into a hideous face?

“No? It’s all real.”

“Huh? But you said earlier that your ability is hallucination, right?”

“Yes! They said that the kumiho’s ability is hallucination.”

It feels like something doesn’t fit into the conversation. Still, I soon found out what the cause was.

I guess I should ask the question differently.

“Then, what is your ability as a heavenly guardian?”

Since it is said to be a mixture of a nine-tailed fox and a heavenly tiger, it means that two abilities exist.

Only the power of Heaven’s Protection is the final key to understanding.

“It is the ability to substitute a fictional object or phenomenon into a real one.”

“… Crazy? You have such an incredible ability… ?!”

He said it calmly as if it was nothing, so at first I thought it was really no big deal.

However, after hearing the content, it was an ability that made it impossible not to swear.

A harmony between the ability to create illusions and the ability to materialize illusions into reality.

It was no different from the ability to create, ignoring the law of cause and effect.

“Wait? Then maybe that grizzly bear you saw earlier…?”

“Yes, that’s an illusion I created.”

“To actually make a bear that big…”

“Oh, bears are not real.”

“Isn’t it?”

“My ability is surprisingly limited. A living creature cannot be embodied or erased, nor can its ideology be changed. My current capacity is about 5 times a day. “

Still, I think that number 5 is enough to overturn the world.

But why is Miho unaware of the greatness of her abilities and underestimating them? I don’t understand.

Should I tell you? But I’m hesitant because it might be something useless.

“Kyuit!!”

While thinking about it, a baby dragon appealed to him saying he wanted to show off his abilities as well.

I was curious, but I didn’t ask because I just wanted him to remain as a cute kid.

If you even hear about the baby dragon’s abilities, you might become afraid of this child.

“Anyway, can you use your powers to make you, this child, and even the bloodstained parts invisible?”

“Of course!”

“Then, please.”

“Leave it to me!”

Is it really effective? I was dubious, but I was able to clearly verify the effect from the way back.

Even though there was a baby dragon on my shoulder and a fox woman behind me, no one recognized it.

The same goes for my family, I was scolded by the news that I was out of school, but I didn’t listen to anything else.

Anyway, my haven that I finally returned to.

In my mind, I wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep.

After a good night’s sleep, today’s work was all a dream, and I wonder if my normal life will begin tomorrow.

You naturally have such expectations.

However, when I see the dragon who is fascinated by new things or Miho who naturally cleans my room, my anticipation collapses.

You can’t always believe in sweet stories.

“Then, I want to ask you one question at a time. Are you willing to answer all of them?”

“If you ask me anything, I will answer everything to the best of my knowledge!”

Quite a pile of doubts. It is unknown whether all questions will be resolved within today.

“Kyuit!!”

Aren’t you just born and don’t know anything?

Well, yes…….

You’re cute, so do whatever you want.

“First of all, your appearance. Is that an illusion?”

“No, each divine beast can change into different animals, but they have to maintain their original form to some extent, so they have ears and a tail.”

To give credibility, Miho looked like a Shiba Inu with fox ears and a fox tail.

Really… ?

The gap was no joke, but I found out that it was true.

“Okay, I understand. Next you said you were my pet, is that true?”

“Yes! Don’t tell me it’s true!”

“The proof?”

When a human and an animal form a companionship contract, a mark is formed somewhere on the body.

Proving that humans and animals are companions and companion animals with their marks.

But I’ve never seen my mark in my life.

“Here it is!”

“Wait?!”

Miho casually loosens her jacket and shows off her voluptuous breasts.

Involuntarily, I turned my head away. But you must check it out. So I quietly looked at Miho’s chest.

Purple-white skin, soft-looking skin, and unrivaled pink heart-shaped markings.

I managed to confirm it while shaking off the desire to touch it.

“Kuhm! Sure, sure there is….”

“If you don’t believe it, how about touching it yourself? I can boast that it is so soft!”

“Oh, no. There is no need for that.”

“It’s a pity, I wanted you to touch me a lot and be excited and push me down….”

“Kuhm!! Anyway, you may have a mark, but I don’t have a mark! Therefore, our relationship as partners does not work.”

“Can you look at the back of your right hand for a moment?”

“The back of your hand?”

As Miho said, looking at the back of my hand, I saw something like a tattoo that I hadn’t remembered.

Two of them…….

“Is this an illusion?”

“Strictly speaking, is that going to happen? It just erased the hallucinations that I had hung up until now!”

I will turn around. It is impossible to distinguish what is true and what is false.

Is this an illusion created by Miho, or did it exist from the beginning and I couldn’t see it because of the hallucination?

It has become a serious matter on which my 20 years of life is at stake.

“You said you had been watching me for 20 years, right? So, have you been my pet since I was born?”

“Yes! I can say with certainty that I was born with you, grew up with you, and have been with you as a pet!”

“Then why didn’t you show up until now? And why did you appear now?”

I have suffered a lot of discrimination and persecution for not having a companion animal.

I have been looked at with contempt to the point of even contemplating suicide.

There was also a time when I was beaten and stabbed to death by zealots who were madly in love with animals.

The truck driver who hit me three years ago even testified that my existence had come and hit me.

“If you really are my pet, explain why you haven’t helped me all this time. Otherwise, even if you are really my pet, I can’t accept it!”

“Kwyi….”

I’m sorry to startle a baby dragon who doesn’t know anything.

But this moment was important to me.

The pain I had to go through because I didn’t have a companion animal wasn’t something to simply laugh at.

“…… You’re right, if I don’t explain what I’ve done, I won’t have the right to stay by your side.”

“Is there a reason you had to do that?”

“Yes.”

“Can you explain to me what it is?”

“… ….”

Miho was reluctant to speak for a while, but as if she had made up her mind, she opened her mouth to explain.

“It’s because of the divine beast rules.”

“Rules of divine beasts?”

“As you know, the powers of divine beasts are powerful enough to affect the world. Still, the world goes on without any problems. By the rules of divine beasts with a common goal of maintaining the world.”

“Please be more specific.”

“You can literally see it as maintenance, the state of nature itself where no animal is extinct and lives.”

“I understand. But how does that have anything to do with your disappearance?”

“Seobang, have you ever heard of nuclear weapons?”

“I know that it is a weapon that has more lethal power than any other weapon and will continue to devastate the area.”

“Do you know what happened to the humans who developed it?”

“Huh? That’s it, they were all killed by divine beasts who suddenly appeared….”

It is recorded that the nuclear weapons developers, as well as all those involved, were massacred by divine beasts.

A case that is famous enough to be covered in textbooks and TV programs.

“The goal of divine beasts is to maintain all animals. If there is a weapon that can break it, he deserves to be eliminated.”

“In other words, you prevented the development of weapons by killing humans.”

“Right, but if there are humans who can exert a stronger influence than nuclear weapons, what do you think the divine beasts will do?”

“Ah… !”

I finally found out. The reason why Miho disappeared even from me.

“That’s right, originally divine beasts shouldn’t make contracts with humans. But I, who was born on the same day and in the same place as Seo-Bang-sama, signed a contract with Seo-Bang-sama without hesitation. Because I was immature at the time, I didn’t know that we shouldn’t get married.”

“Same place? Is that possible?”

“It is possible, because the parents who gave birth to me are still near Seo-Bang’s parents.”

“No way… !”

I have heard of it. When my parents had me, miraculously, my parents’ foxes also conceived.

However, unfortunately, the pet fox’s child did not see the light of day and was miscarried.

However, in reality, the child was safely delivered, and that is…….

“So you were the child of your parents’ pet foxes?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But is that possible? Your parents’ fox companion is not a divine beast, but an ordinary fox?”

“Bondi gods are mutants. Just as many animals have undergone evolution so far, divine beasts are also beings that have undergone special evolution. So, being born as a divine beast is an accidental miracle.”

“I see. Anyway, now I understand everything. You and I have signed a contract of companionship since we were born, but if that fact is known, we will surely be targeted by other divine beasts, so we hid our existence using our abilities. Is this?”

Miho answered with a nod.

The reason for wanting to hide was clearly understood.

However, I still have one unanswered question.

“Then why did you appear in front of me now?”

“Because the irreversible happened again.”

“What is that again… ?”

“I didn’t expect something like mine to happen again.”

An existence that comes to mind naturally as if out of nowhere.

I followed Miho’s gaze and saw that existence.

“What’s up?”

A baby dragon tilting its head at our gaze.

I don’t know what’s going on, I’m just like, ‘What? What is it?’ His eyes were shining as if saying.

“Isn’t it the first time that companion contracts overlap?”

“Because it is Shinsoo, it might be possible. Or isn’t Seo-sang-nim special?”

“Kyuyi??”

As she gently held the baby dragon, she observed her body more closely than before.

So after a while, I was able to find out.

It means that there is a unique pattern engraved under the baby dragon’s wings.

“Shinsu-nim, my God… !!”

My 20-year life, which has always pursued mediocrity, has become impossible to find mediocrity any more as of today.

A life designed to live and die by Shinsoo.

Fall in the crucible of an unusual fate, rolling and rolling, the future…….

I could easily imagine.

“Damn it….”
