I tamed the First Rank Chapter 125

After returning to my room from the hospital, I ordered a real midnight snack and ate chicken. After drinking beer for the first time in a while, I got sleepy and fell asleep……

In Yoo-shin suddenly put his hand under the blanket and felt his body. My clothes were not disheveled and I was wearing my underwear properly. Then, it must be true that nothing happened...?

Hyeon Gyu-ha noticed the expression and glared at her.

“It’s unfair that I was misunderstood when I didn't even get a taste of it.”

"S-s-sexual harassment......!"

“It’s unfair that I’ve been misunderstood when I haven't even had the chance.”

"It got worse?!"

“It’s unfair that I’m the only one wrongly accused, so let’s make the misunderstanding an established fact.”

It wasn't just words, but Hyeon Gyu-ha really tried to climb onto the mattress, and In Yoo-shin screamed and swung the cushion around. Hyeon Gyu-ha just turned his head here and there and dodged the cushion. It was annoying.

As a result, In Yoo-shin, who had been exercising vigorously all morning and shaking his whole body, collapsed panting.

"Morning exercise is good for blood circulation."

"But why were you sleeping on the floor instead of on a mattress?"

"Since the mattress is so narrow, sleeping Yooshin is like a fully set dinner table right next to me. I wonder if I can really endure it."

".....Next time you sleep at my house, Gyu-ha, you'll use the mattress. I'll sleep on the floor."

"How dare that little rat chase his Master away and sleep alone on the mattress."

"Originally, butlers would make sure their pets were warm and full even when they were starving themselves."

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been nodding with a look of understanding, quickly shook his head.

"No, I almost fell. The owner has become quite the expert. The house is small, so I can't fit a big mattress, so I'll bring my sleeping bag."

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had slyly suggested spending the night with him, lightly clapped his hand to lighten the mood.

"Well, since I have work in the afternoon today, let's start the day with some refreshing exercise."

"Rice! You have to eat rice first!"

In Yoo-shin opened the refrigerator in a hurry, but there was no rice. Now that I think about it, I’ve been out of my mind lately and forgot to cook rice. When I looked through the delivery app, I found a sandwich shop that had opened for business.

"Shall I order here?"

"It's faster if I go and come back."

In Yoo-shin, who had seen off Hyeon Gyu-ha who was going to buy a sandwich, collapsed on the mattress. He was already tired after moving around hard since morning.

8-se, who had been hiding in a hiding place since last night to avoid Hyeon Gyu-ha who wanted to turn his neck 1,080 degrees, finally came out of the cage.

“Squeak, Squeak.”

"Hey, I don't think Gyu-ha-ssi is really trying to kill you…… probably."

“Squeak.”

He recalled their conversation last night over chicken and beer, caressing the back of 8-se, who was coming up to his chest and rubbing his forehead.

In Yoo-shin suddenly recalled the memories of the Erosion Gate, the story he had heard from Nzinga, and the fact that he felt like a giant fish whenever he saw Gong Tae-seong. Hyeon Gyu-ha also listened intently.

<It seems that god erased Yoo-shin-ssi's memories.>

<So is this really the god of ®AC? I looked it up and found out that there is a god with the same name in our Romanian mythology.>

<Because this is a world without God.>

<Ah, indeed.>

I suddenly forgot because I kept running into people like Somnoros and Ursitoare since yesterday.

<Do you remember what I said at the Erosion Gate about the cause of destruction?>

In Yoo-shin nodded his head.

《There is also a gradual and slow destruction, where life declines and fades away. Animals will not conceive, plants will not bear fruit and grain. The earth will be dry and barren, and even the sun will not shine its full light under the gray sky. It is a gentle and quiet destruction, dominated by resignation rather than despair, that flows slowly to its end.》

In short, it was an explanation that the world was doomed because its vitality had declined.

<®ÀÇ is being destroyed because of that. That erosion gate was a kind of passage connected to ®ÀÇ. Hmm, it's complicated to explain in words.>

When moving through the gaps between worlds or worlds, you cannot decide which world you want to go to. However, if you go through a specific erosion gate, you can briefly enter the Iad and Iron Age. The erosion gate that lost its vitality and was destroyed was the future of Iad.

The erosion gate that followed did not have a boss monster. Hyeon Gyu-ha explained that the erosion gate he experienced at the age of 9 was only cleared after he met the third Urshitoare, as a boss monster was created.

<I think it's because I was afraid that I would just clear the gate and escape without meeting the being from ®ÀÇ. Anyway, that's why the darkness surrounding the erosion gate can only be entered if ®ÀÇ's blood flows through it... How did Yoo-shin-ssi get in?>

<Um, that's right.>

I thought about it again, but I couldn't remember the details of how I was able to enter beyond the darkness or how I was able to meet Urshitoare.

<I guess I didn't get all my memories back.>

<You don't mind me touching on your memories, do you, Yoo-shin-ssi?>

<Well…… I don't think she was that bad of a god. Isn't there a reason why I shouldn't know now, or why I don't necessarily need to know? If I had known about Gyu-ha's father from the beginning, I think I would have been really confused.>

As they talked, a question suddenly occurred to him.

<Gyu-ha-ssi, your mother said she came back from ®AC, right?>

<I did.>

<How did you come back? Didn't you say that the world you move to is random even if you use the Apostasy skill?>

A bitter smile appeared on Hyeon Gyu-ha's lips.

<You can use someone with a blood connection as a landmark. The stronger the bloodline, the clearer it is. When my grandmother was alive, she was my mother's landmark, and after I was born, I became hers.>

Iad is a world where it is difficult for new life to be born.

There, Hyeon So-ra, who was pregnant with Hyeon Gyu-ha, had no choice but to return to her original world.Because if she continues to stay in lad, there is a high chance of miscarriage.

She wandered the world endlessly, leaving behind her unborn child and trying to return to Iad, but eventually went missing.

<She said she would go to the erosion gate after passing her skill on to me. I'm not sure what she was thinking, but I suspect it might have been a feeling of despair.>

That meant that Hyeon So-ra might have died at the Erosion Gate, let alone reached Iad. In Yoo-shin noticed this, but didn’t say it out loud.

When he simply placed his hand on the back of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s hand, he smiled gently as if he had never sued anyone. The way he played around with In Yoo-shin’s fingers as he inserted them between his own was the same as usual.

<Actually, I didn't plan on coming back here after going to ®AC. I don't have any regrets about that place.>

<Didn't you say that the whale will die because the world are destroyed?>

<Even in the worst case scenario, I think they could last for decades. For a whale that used to live forever, a few decades would be like dying in the blink of an eye.>

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had his hand interlocked with In Yoo-shin's, gently scratched the back of his hand.

<It wouldn't matter if I perished before I died. I'd just die a little earlier.>

<®ÀÇ If I go there, I'll die there, and since that world is already in the process of destruction, I've never imagined the future.......>

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had untied his hand, lifted In Yoo-shin's hand and lightly kissed the back of her hand.

<I will definitely find a way to come back.>

The man who said he didn't care if he died in another world whispered that he would come back for me. Something hot was coiled in my chest, suffocating me. What should I say? What answer could repay his heart?

In front of him, who only had a pale gaze, Hyeon Gyu-ha shook off the gloomy atmosphere with a bright smile.

<Master, you don't have to wait for me because the flow of time may be different.>

<......How long do you think it will take?>

<I told you not to wait. If you forget about it, won't it suddenly appear? In the meantime, it's okay to adopt another hamster. Well, it's not like I'm going right away. What's important right now is chicken and beer. If you just keep talking, the chicken will get cold.>

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who let go of In Yoo-shin's hand, spoke in a pretended light tone and put a piece of chicken leg meat in In Yoo-shin's mouth. In Yoo-shin bit into the chewy chicken leg meat and made a confession that he had never been able to make before.
