I Became the Companion of the Gods

43 – EP.13 Babysitter -2

The 3 operatives who had problems without exception.

Let me explain one by one.

A low-class bastard who doesn’t even take a vigilant attitude because his role is simple.

“Ah~ This is so annoying. I just want it to end soon.”

A crazy b*tch who looks like he has common sense, but in reality gets angry and tries to do as he pleases his colleagues.

“Doggy bastards… !! You just need to listen carefully to what I have to say! Why don’t you know It’s really pathetic!”

Lastly, the pig is eating food on the spot, saying he is hungry even though he is on a mission. This bastard had even stuffed a cigarette in her ammo pouch instead of a burnt shell.

“As expected, after dinner is the best….”

These were the true specimens of the poor answer.

A specimen so good that it is doubtful whether it became an agent through dishonest means.

“This mission. Should I just hit him?”

I don’t know where to start.

I don’t know if at least 1 out of 3 people were trash, but surprisingly, all 3 of them were trash.

Now I fully understand why their leader would get a gastric ulcer.

“There is no answer to this.”

A guy trying to fall asleep leaning against a big stone, a b*tch throwing rocks at a tree to take out his anger, and a guy smoking a cigarette in the woods.

Even if they want to help, their guts and will are already rotten, so they can’t be revived.

Besides, I don’t even have the position to control them.

So all I could do here was to wait until the situation was over, and then report back to the director.

“No, I think it would be better to help the infiltrator into the enemy hideout.”

It was a wiser decision to help the other agents and end the situation quickly.

What would you do if you held on to the hopeless future?

So I gave up the mission the director gave me and tried to enter the building where the terrorists were…….

I was forced to stop in place by the sound of a car exhaust coming from far away.

This is a forest road in the eastern outskirts. Few people passed by, so the terrorists also built a hideout here.

But now, cars are coming to such a remote place.

That’s not just one or two, but about five medium-sized vans.

“Ha, life…… Why do things that I do not want to happen happen naturally?”

It meant that the terrorists had come.

If we allow their access like this, the penetration team inside the building will be surrounded by enemies from the front and back, and it will be dangerous.

To prevent that, the government also extracted security agents to block enemy support, but…….

“Hey, you crazy bastards! You’re still standing still when the enemy is coming?”

The problem was that the guys who were put up to be vigilant were assholes.

Doug still closes his eyes, Anya doesn’t step forward because of vain pride, and Answer is smoking a cigarette as if she doesn’t even know that the enemy is coming.

I knew they were unreasonable bastards, but I never thought they would be so unreasonable…… !

“Ha! f*ck!! I have no doubt I will end you guys and kick you out of the government!”

I would have reevaluated it if I had tried to put a spike trap or obstacle on the road even now…….

These crazy things didn’t show even the slightest effort until the end.

I feel like I have to step in.

“Tia.”

“Huh?”

“See that black round thing over there? Can you blow it all up?”

“Arasse!!”

By using Tia’s ability, all the wheels of the van were blown off.

The drivers are embarrassed by this. Three quickly hit the brakes and managed to stop, but the other two collided with each other and rolled over on the road.

About two-fifths of enemies are incapable of combat…… Quite a satisfactory result.

However, the full-fledged battle began now.

“You’re pretty calm.”

Terrorists standing still with their cars stopped.

On both sides of the road are forests. Since they don’t know where we’re going to attack them, they must be on the lookout without getting out of the car.

“Not a very good response.”

I pulled out the safety pin from the grenade I had brought with me just in case.

It’s crazy to throw a grenade in a forest with many branches, but with Tia’s help, it can reach the target accurately without getting caught anywhere.

The ability to automatically fly a grenade toward a target when you release your hand…… You’ll feel like you’ve been cheated on.

“Evacuate!!”

As soon as they witnessed the existence of the grenade, the terrorists jumped out of the back trunk and ran away.

I honestly admired the wisdom of gathering in the trunk and popping out all at once in case of emergency, and the sacrificial spirit of the animals that minimized the explosion by jumping directly into the grenade for their companions.

“How… ….”

Do you guys think they’re better than the three idiots….

Unsurprisingly, these idiots who are just preoccupied with self-defense without even trying to do anything.

It’s my fault for having any expectations from them.

“But, fortunately, it seems that they are the only idiots… ….”

The sounds of gunshots, screams, and the cries of animals began to be heard from all over the place.

This meant that the terrorists and other agents spread out into the forest and started fighting.

Then I’ll organize a few people now…….

“You guys have pretty interesting abilities, don’t they?”

Awkward!

A voice that makes the whole body goosebumps in just one second.

Sudden fear forced me to quickly turn around and pull the trigger.

However, because of the poor accuracy of the shot, the bullet fired hit the tree behind it, not the one right behind it.

“I didn’t mean to threaten you.”

The identity of the existence that gave me goosebumps was a middle-aged man smiling softly.

He looks like an ordinary man in his early 50s with a slim body, soft eyes, and clear nasolabial folds.

However, the scars and tight muscles visible through the clothes he was wearing were not normal.

“Who, who are you? You!”

“Can I ask the identity of a person in the middle of a battlefield like this?”

“Shut up and talk… !”

A man who casually approached me from behind.

I meant that if he hadn’t opened his mouth, I wouldn’t have noticed, even if he had been strangled.

Even Tia was startled as if she didn’t recognize that he was coming.

It’s ridiculous that Tia, who controls the air, doesn’t recognize him.

Could he be a Shinsoo?

“My name is Jack Simuel. He is 86 years old and works as a mercenary hired by terrorists. How is it? Will this be enough?”

“Isn’t it Shinsu?”

“Shinsu… ? I don’t know on what grounds you think so, but unfortunately you’re human.”

“If you’re really human, you can’t look like that at 86, right?”

“Ah, this has its own circumstances.”

Though the leisurely stretching behavior and loosely smiling face seem to be all pretense.

The fact that there was no trembling or hesitation in the voice he was speaking at all made it seem like he was sincere.

Which part is true and which part is a lie…… I am confused and have a headache.

“More than that, I used an interesting ability earlier. Would you like to show it one more time?”

“A fun ability… ?”

“It’s no use pretending you don’t know. I saw everything, the grenade you dropped went off on its own.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about?”

“I can’t help it if I’m going to do it like that. I have to check it myself.”

“…Huh?”

-Taang!!

In an instant, a man pulls out a revolver from his waistband and shoots it at my forehead.

I couldn’t even move a finger, let alone react to what happened in the blink of an eye.

If Tia hadn’t put a protective shield on her beforehand, it was a shot that would have killed her with a hole in her forehead.

“Hmm, I wondered why I came to this place with a girl, but it seems the girl was the special one.”

“Wait? I see Tia… ?”

“Looks good. Wasn’t it the little girl who just blocked the bullet by rapidly rotating the air around you?”

Thanks to Miho’s ability, Tia is invisible to others.

However, Jack was looking straight at Tia as if for granted, and in addition to that, he accurately grasped Tia’s abilities.

As expected, there was only one being that could do that.

“As expected, you are right… !!”

“hahahaha, this is so embarrassing~ How can I explain it for you to believe me?”

Jack is deeply troubled as he taps his chin with the muzzle of his revolver.

It seems like he’s trying to insist that he’s human until the end.

I can’t understand him at all.

Why do they insist on being human so much while exuding the aura of not being human?

For what purpose?

But if you think about it differently, it is nonsense for Shinsoo to insist on being a human.

In addition, the fact that Shinsoo uses a revolver is unprecedented, and Jack even showed how to handle it skillfully.

That skill is impossible without the experience of years.

He kept giving credibility to the fact that he wasn’t a divine beast.

My bone hurts.

“No, it doesn’t matter anyway.”

Because there is no change in being an enemy anyway.

“Sorry, Tia. Please.”

“Yes!!”

I realized that no matter what Jack was, I couldn’t beat him.

His combat skill easily surpassed mine, and my instincts told me that his existence was dangerous.

So it’s embarrassing, but he had no choice but to leave it to Tia.

“Hmm? So, from now on, the little girl will be this man’s opponent?”

“Yes! That’s right!!”

“How are you going to deal with it?”

“This!!”

“Oh ho?”

The surrounding air gathered in Tia’s hand, and then it was shot forward, cutting everything in half.

A windblown that I had seen before in Motaras. It cannot be avoided unless it is faster than the wind.

If Jack’s true identity is Shinsoo, he will avoid this, and if he is human, he will be beaten and killed.

The result…… It was the latter.

Jack’s body was broken in two along with the trees, and his torso fell to the ground with his torso.

“Ugh!! Killed so brutally… ?”

“Yuu… ? I can’t see ahead!”

I thought it was still too early to show Tia the cruel death scene, so I quietly covered Tia’s eyes.

The person who killed it was Tia, but I hope that Tia will grow up seeing only pretty things.

“Hey~! That was awesome! There is such a pain in the world!”

“Uh…… ?!”

“It hurts so much that my body is still shaking!”

Jack, who had been cut in two and died, was standing there at one point as if nothing had happened.

“After all, you weren’t human!!”

“Well, are you human?”

“What kind of human in the world survives intact after being cut in half!”

“You mean that? I signed a contract with a Shinsoo 35 years ago. Because of that, even if I wanted to die, I couldn’t die.”

“What… ? You made a contract with Shinsoo? Does that mean your pet is also a Shinsoo?”

“No. It’s not a friendly contract like a companion contract, it’s a provisional contract that lends part of my abilities in exchange for entrusting my valuables as collateral.”

“What is that… ?”

“Ummm, would it be better to see it for yourself? Then look good.”

“Now… for a moment!!”

-Taang!!

This time Jack puts the revolver to his head and pulls the trigger without hesitation.

In this way, his head is blown off by a revolver, and things like brain water and brain fragments are scattered around.

A sure death in both name and reality. The blood and chunks of flesh remaining on the floor prove it, so there is no doubt.

But why… ?

“Why are you still alive?!”

With one blink, Jack was back to normal.

As if the blown out head was a lie.

“Ha ha ha! Curious?”

“Could it be hallucinations?”

“It is not an illusion. It’s real.”

Resurrected, Jack took out his machete and began to strike down his right arm.

As a result of several cuts, his right arm and blood dripped.

Nevertheless, his arm was back again.

But his severed upper body and right arm were still on the floor, so I started to get goosebumps.

“What the hell is this… ?”

“Isn’t it amazing? After making a contract with Shinsoo, no matter where it is broken or crushed, it will be regenerated.”

“What kind of contract did you make with Shinsoo and what abilities did you get… ?”

“Unfortunately, ask that question later, after you have a higher affinity for it. With my current affinity, I can only give you this.”

Jack picked up his severed right arm and threw it at me with a swish.

“Ouch!! f*ck! Don’t throw anything dirty!”

Fortunately, this time too, Tia blocked the flying right arm, so it’s a shame.

I feel bad… !!

As well as that guy’s actions, his smile, which is always smiling, is the most disgusting.

Laughing until he shot the head or cut off his arm… ! I’m not crazy… ?

“Certainly it would have been better to give an organ like a heart or liver rather than an arm?”

“Shouldn’t you say something disgusting in moderation? Do you think you’re going to throw up?”

“Isn’t it really sad? Organs are expensive enough that you can play for a week with just one.”

I shot him instead of answering, but he was standing there normally, getting shot normally and bleeding normally.

Even though the blood gushing out from the parts of his body that had been shot, it stopped naturally after 3 seconds.

I can’t believe that someone like me is human.

“It’s not bad, but shooting a gun is a little sloppy than I thought.”

“Poem, noisy!”

Just a few months ago, I was an ordinary civilian.

There’s no way I’d have magical marksmanship like that, right?

“You mean a gun, it shoots like this.”

This time, Jack took out an M1911 automatic pistol, not a revolver, aimed it between my forehead and quickly pulled the trigger five times.

Of course, I was blocked by the shield created by Tia, but I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide and fall into amazement.

Because all five of his shots were aimed right at my forehead.

Accuracy enough to be called perfect even with fast bursts.

I was convinced that he was human.

It doesn’t mean that Shinsoo can’t perform this level of skill.

It’s just that each and every one of his gestures was deeply imbued with a sense of skill and humanity.

I realized that I am a human being who has been using guns for a very long time.

“It’s a wind shield created by a little girl… The more you look at it, the more interesting it is?”

“Don’t be interested in strange things, pervert.”

Neither this side nor the other side can kill each other, that is, no matter how much they fight, they cannot come to a resolution.

If there were other Shinsoo, there might have been another way, but for now it’s just Tia and me.

There’s nothing to gain from fighting him now.

As if he was aware of that fact, he put his gun back in its holster.

“Pervert, I was just wondering if I would be torn to shreds like a blender if I approached that lady’s shield.”

“That’s disgusting! Stop paying unnecessary attention to Tia and tell her to go away!!”

“You’re picky~ Well, I like it. We might meet again somewhere anyway, so let’s leave it as the pleasure of that time!”

Every word that comes out of his mouth is smirking and disgusting.

To be involved again with a guy who can’t read his feelings so badly… It is an envoy.

Not only is my stomach dirty, but he’s also not good for Tia’s emotional education.

If, in the future, we ever run into each other again, we will do everything we can to get away from this disgusting bastard.

“Then have a nice day! Lady Shinsu and the young man.”

As if satisfied enough, Jack turns his back and leaves.

Humming his hum and stepping on the steps, he walked away…….

-Taang!!

“Peeking is no good, buddy.”

Suddenly, he pulled out his revolver and fired it at the bush, then walked away again with a satisfied smile.

When Jack leaves completely and turns his head to the bush he shot, a terrorist man who was supposed to be his employer has turned into a cold corpse.

“Creepy bastard… ….”

From the time he appears to the time he leaves, he is a guy who twists people’s minds around.

A madman who doesn’t feel any pain or hurts himself casually, tearing off his own organs and selling them.

I couldn’t tell you exactly what he really was.

I just found out he’s a crazy asshole. No other words came to mind.

“Haa… ….”

“Yuu… ? Do you mind?”

“Yeah, a little….”

The body is fine, but the mind is devastated by the madman, so I collapsed on the spot.

I saw a lot of gore scenes, so there are things like that… Should I just say I’m exhausted, or should I just say I’m exhausted…….

Anyway, I need a break.

“uuu… ?”

“Sorry, Tia. Can I stay like this for a little while?”

“Wow! Gwaeungchanang!!”

A break time to knead soft Tia’s cheeks.

I could feel the comfort and comfort of being away from the world.

“Ah…… Healed!”

“Chiuyuuu!”

This place is only Tia’s realm, a space that no one can touch.

I know I shouldn’t be like this in the middle of a battlefield, but…….

Are you okay? Because I’ve taken care of half of the terrorists beforehand.

Even if I’m not there, people outside will be fighting on their own.

Maybe… ….

***

Suppose a parent or nanny leaves a baby unattended for an hour or two.

What would happen if that happened?

You can get hurt by getting close to sharp objects, or you can get burned by being curious about something hot.

In the worst case, you may fall out of the window and lose your life.

In that sense, the situation I was in was the worst.

I just had a healing time with Tia’s cheek plucking…….

“f*ck.”

Agents huddled and kneeling in front of the hideout.

All of them had their hands behind their heads as one, and their arms were removed.

And the terrorists were pointing their guns at them.

Anyone can understand what the current situation is just by looking at this far.

“I lost because I didn’t pay attention for a while… ?”

Actually, it’s not right to compare agents to babies.

Because they are adults who are aware of their danger and can live well on their own.

However, the problem was that among those adults, some of them were worse than babies.

For example, three agents being tied up with ropes…….

“Damn it… ! Why is this only happening to me… !!”

I also want to ask.

“So I told you to prepare! If you had just followed my words, none of this would have happened… !!”

Then why didn’t you go ahead and prepare?

“Haa… The timing wasn’t good…….”

You wormy bastard, you’re probably the only bastard who eats food and even smokes cigarettes while on duty.

“Shut up! You pigs and pigs of the government!!”

“””Kuu!!”””

Damn the chief. It’s an easy and simple task…….

How can it be an easy and simple mission to help those who don’t deserve to be saved?

I’d rather take care of the baby.

“Ehh… ….”

That said, since most of the other agents besides the 3 noobs were captured, they couldn’t be abandoned.

I don’t want to save the bad guys, but I don’t think I’m going to give up on the tough agents because of them.

Furthermore, the director gave me the task because I was convinced that if Tia and I were in any situation, it would be resolved in a good way.

But the fact that I abandoned them here is to admit that we are incompetent like those bastards.

I don’t care if my evaluation hits rock bottom, but I can never tolerate Tia being ignored.

“What should I do?”

“Yuu! I think of streaks! Stop thinking about Joheun!!”

“Good idea? What?”

“I’m screwed! And show up, all the bad guys, 8! If you do!”

How about making your eyes shine? How is it? My little dragon who is very excited.

It’s the strongest when it comes to cuteness, but it’s not useful, so I think I’ll have to give it a good warning and stop it.

“Tia, it’s definitely a good plan, but I don’t think I can use it.”

“Why?”

“Because we have to act so that nobody finds out.”

That’s why you should refrain from using Tia’s abilities to strike down the terrorists.

If there are only terrorists, it’s enough to kill them without leaving any witnesses.

I couldn’t do that because now there are people who would be hostages and witnesses called agents.

If Tia’s power is enough to knock down enemies, the agents will find it strange, and they will surely report it to the superiors.

If that happens, I will have to go through the search for agents and people who have been reported to, and have to delete their memories with Miho’s ability.

If your belly button is bigger than your stomach, and it’s not an urgent matter where every minute and every second is urgent, it’s better to find another way.

“Aww… !! But Yata-sister told me to do it!”

“Yata is… ?”

“Yes!! Give me this!”

Tia took out a plastic bottle of purple liquid from her cute little bag and handed it to me.

The plastic bottle itself is an ordinary bottled water bottle, but the contents inside it are somewhat unpleasant.

While I was touching her chin, the mobile phone in her pocket started to vibrate.

They said that the tiger would come too, but the caller was Yata, as expected.

[Hello, my dear! Today, my life is full of fun things!]

“Does this sound like fun?”

[Yes! It’s too bad that I’m not there!]

“…… So? What’s in this plastic bottle? What else did Tiago ask you to do?”

[The liquid I’m looking at right now isn’t dangerous, it’s just an elixir of awakening extracted from a divine beast!]

“Awakening Elixir?”

[Yes, it’s a potion that makes any creature temporarily at its peak. If the drinker is young, he will grow, and if he is old, he will rejuvenate.]

“So what are you going to do with this?”

[Make Tia drink, then let her do as she pleases! Even children should run and play to their heart’s content sometimes!]

“That’s fine, right… ?”

[Don’t worry about the aftermath. It will work for good later! Anyway, I have something to do, so I’ll hang up! You’re having a hard time!]

“Uh… ? Hey Yata? For a moment!!”

-Beep!

My Pace Crow suddenly calls and then hangs up on its own this time.

It seems like she gets swayed by her every time, but let’s understand because she’s always busy for me.

Even now, I have to believe that they said that they brought this suspicious potion directly from a divine beast.

“Tia, that’s a good strategy you talked about earlier, but I think we can do that.”

“Really?”

“Yes, after drinking all of this instead.”

“Joa!!”

When she opened the lid of the plastic bottle, her sour smell came up and made her face frown.

I had doubts about whether it was really okay to drink it, but it was Yata’s order, and Tia was already making an expectant expression on her face, so I couldn’t change it again now.

Reluctantly handing over her plastic bottle to Tia, Tia started to gulp her liquid, not paying attention to her sour smell.

Soon after, Tia hit the one-shot in one go! He made a cute burp and returned the empty plastic bottle to me.

“Gwa, are you okay, Tia?”

“Yes!!”

“Yes… ? But has anything changed?”

“No! Be different!!”

“It has changed? But for now…….”

“I will show you!”

-Wooddeuk! Awesome!!

Starting with the sound of her skeleton twisting, Tia’s body in front of me changed little by little.

First of all, Tia, who returned to her original form as a baby lizard, rapidly grew her own body in that state.

Her dainty antlers were slowly becoming long and massive, and her wings and tail were growing taller than the tallest trees in the forest.

Not stopping there, her round face was sharp, and her eyes were changing fiercely like a predator that only saw everything as one prey.

Tia completed her full growth just like that.

In front of me stood a dragon that was bigger than the surrounding mountains.

-Cruoaaa!!

With one roar, the heavens and the earth shook, trees fell down, and all the flying birds plummeted to the ground.

This being that really shows what it means to be an apex predator is no longer the baby dragon I used to know.

“T, Tia… ?”

I suddenly felt anxious.

Isn’t it because of the side effects of rapid growth that he forgets about me and runs out of control?

It’s a cliché that often appears in movies, but I couldn’t say for sure that it doesn’t happen in reality.

I’m anxious, so anxious…….

“Yuu! Look at this! I’ve really grown up!! How are you? How are you~?”

…… Fortunately, even though it had grown, the inner core was still Tia.
