A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 504
Bossam (3)
I was kidnapped, not kidnapped, by Cheonma, so I was slow to grasp the situation, but I came to my senses as quickly as possible.
First of all, let’s start with the place that Cheonma brought me to. When I looked around, the feeling I got was ‘dark’.
It’s not completely pitch black, but the purple is so dark that it almost looks like it’s turned black.
It was much darker than Grace’s deep purple hair, so much so that it could almost be said to have a subtle purple tint against the pitch-black background.
“This is the place where believers meet the true God. The true God sits on the throne up there.”
I raised my head after hearing Cheonma’s kind(?) explanation. As she had said, a throne installed high up came into view.
Since he is worshipped as a god, he will sit there and listen to the stories of his followers. And he will listen to everything, if possible.
You might wonder what happens if you ask for a strange wish, but there’s no need to worry about that.
As is often the case with cults, most of them are far from normal. The reason they even worship Cheonma as a god is because of his overwhelming power.
Therefore, believers live a life far from danger under the protection of Cheonma, and Cheonma also receives various conveniences from them.
‘Because the Empire’s security is notoriously poor.’
There is a saying that tight security is a long-standing tradition of the Huan Empire.
Because of that guy’s inviolability of official duties, not only do they fight among themselves whenever they get the chance, but wars even break out.
It’s not a war between nations like it is now, but a war between powers. The Battle of Jeongsa, a staple of martial arts.
The more unstable the security of the Hwan Empire becomes, the more the power of the Demonic Cult will inevitably grow stronger.
At least we can live like humans and there is almost no threat of force involved.
The problem is that these merits will disappear completely if Cheonma disappears, but who is Cheonma?
Isn’t it a purple being that is hardly affected by lifespan? It’s not for nothing that it is revered as a god.
‘Even I would worship him as a god.’
For ordinary people, not just the unmanned ones, the Huan Empire is not a very good place to live.
Even though there are no threats like monsters or beasts, people are said to be the scariest.
While monsters and beasts can at least be passed over with a ‘shit’, people make you feel all sorts of emotions.
Moreover, with society and laws in place, there will be times when people will explode with anger. It is not a place where weak people can live.
Does that mean the West is a good place to live? I can guarantee you that it is not. If even one Usk were to pop out right now, it would be an emergency.
Even countries like Santiago are in a state of semi-civil war, with terrorist attacks occurring from time to time.
‘If you look at things in detail, it seems like Tatar is the safest.’
The downside is that it is incredibly hot, but the people are kind and the security is tight.
You might ask if the Matra Empire and the Granada Empire are unstable, but they are just average.
“How is it?”
“What is it?”
“This is a place to worship the Virgin Mary, so don’t you have any feelings about it?”
While I was thinking about something else for a moment, Cheonma asked me with a meaningless smile.
I blinked as I looked at her. Could it be that she wanted me to worship her like other believers?
I scratched my head, not understanding the meaning at all, and then cautiously opened my mouth.
“······Are you a great person?”
“Is that the end?”
“I don’t know. We haven’t known each other for very long.”
“That alone is enough.”
“?”
What the heck. What on earth did you feel from my answer that made you so satisfied?
While the previous warriors were somewhat predictable, being closer to sociopaths, Cheonma was completely unpredictable.
He is a person who puts his own interests first, so he can be capricious at any time. You can tell by the fact that he brought me to the Demonic Cult right away.
I originally said I would bring him after everything was over. That reminded me of that and I asked Cheonma.
“That······Your Majesty.”
“Speak.”
“Weren’t you supposed to bring me here when my work was done?”
“That’s right.”
Wasn’t that the case? Isn’t that past tense?
Although I was able to understand all languages originally, my understanding has improved since studying the language of the Central Plains.
So, I was able to check even the smallest details right away. Also, the fact that Cheonma used the past tense.
“But I changed my mind.”
“Are you losing interest?”
“No. On the contrary. My interest in you has not disappeared.”
“Then why······?”
But why did you break your promise with me? I said it with that kind of feeling in my heart.
Then, Cheonma smiled even more deeply and said some creepy things.
“It’s a problem when you’re too interested. As the saying goes, too much of anything is bad.”
“yes?”
“When the body is separated, the interest does not disappear, but rather steadily increases. I thought that in order to resolve this, I had no choice but to bring it along.”
“··· ···”
I’m going to kidnap you and imprison you. That’s what it sounds like, but am I mistaken?
I was shivering for no reason, and my body was shaking slightly. Cheonma turned his back and spoke as if to reassure me.
“Don’t worry too much about that. I won’t keep it for long.”
“Why, why?”
“Because it’s obvious that those annoying b*stards will come looking for me. You said demons? I think they’re after me too.”
“··· ···”
Still, he is a person who knows how to distinguish between right and wrong. I felt a sense of relief.
“I think it would be okay if I kept it for about 10 years.”
“··· ···”
“By then, I think I’ll be able to solve the problem.”
As expected of a purple being, the sense of time is far beyond that of an ordinary person, which is a problem.
10 years is the time when all the stories end and the epilogue begins. Absolutely not.
Moreover, since I am a cult member, demons will come rushing in like the Heavenly Horse.
It’s not just the silk demons. It’s obvious that Lize will come charging in with fire in her eyes.
‘If it goes on like this, even a thousand horses will never be able to stop it.’
I feel really sorry for Cheonma, but he needs to get out of the Demonic Cult as soon as possible.
The fight against the demons is over, but the Eastern episode is not over. The current Empire of the Rings is effectively paralyzed.
Normally, reinforcements should have been constantly coming from the palace, but all the people in the palace were blown away by the devil.
Moreover, the palace itself was sucked into space without leaving even a single foundation stone behind.
‘It will take at least a few days for the soldiers in other places to return.’
It is not known whether other forces intervened. We do know that Sapa is participating in the war.
As soon as I thought of the keyword ‘other forces’, something suddenly came to mind.
‘Wait a minute. If the Heavenly Demon is here, could it be the Demonic Cult?’
He asked Cheonma, who was walking slowly, urgently.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty?”
“Speak, my companion.”
“··· ···”
For a moment, I felt dizzy when I heard the word companion, but I quickly pulled myself together.
“I don’t see anyone… Where did they all go?”
“Ah. You mean the believers? Now that I think about it, I guess I haven’t seen them. They must be fighting against various forces by now.”
“··· ···”
It seems like what I was worried about has happened. I closed my eyes tightly.
In the original Touhou episode, various forces are intertwined, but it is not the Tenma Shinkyo religion.
The stuff related to them is kind of like a hidden episode, something that happens between the Touhou episodes.
Since I didn’t get involved in the war and only knew about the existence of the Heavenly Horse, I could half-ignore it.
“······Why did those people go?”
“I heard that you are going to establish a new heaven for me.”
“Suddenly?”
“The real woman did make a promise.”
The description of Cheonma is roughly as follows. After meeting me, he was bored and went on a tour around the East.
And he said that he felt an unusual atmosphere and told the believers what he felt.
The believers regard this as a kind of ‘prophecy’ and say that they had prepared sufficiently for this and participated when the opportunity arose.
‘Oh my gosh.’
The act of just coming to see me ended up having a butterfly effect and creating an uncontrollable chaos.
I barely managed to hold onto my dazed mind. I had no idea how the Touhou episode would flow.
Since I’m caught by Cheonma, I can’t do anything. The future is bleak.
“Hello, Heaven.”
As I was following Cheonma, half-asleep, a new voice came into my ears.
When he raised his head, he saw an old man bowing his head in front of the Heavenly Horse. All the soldiers who could be of any use at the moment had participated in the battle.
He could have been someone left as a last resort, or he could have been an ordinary employee.
“There is no special reason why I called you. I will leave the interest with you until nightfall. Then, take me to my wife’s bedroom.”
“yes?”
Was it because the order was too blatant? The old man raised his head as if he had misheard and asked back.
It was a normal reaction for her to look at me with wide eyes.
“It seems like you have something to say. It would be best not to ask more than three times.”
“Of course. However, as someone who has served the heavens for decades, this is the first time I have received such an order, and I am at a loss. May I ask why such an order was given?”
“She is my wife’s companion.”
There is only one answer. Any normal person would be shocked by this.
But the old man’s reaction was far beyond my expectations. He exclaimed and then looked at me with sparkling eyes.
When I was at a loss because I couldn’t understand, the old man opened his mouth in a voice that seemed moved.
“Finally······Am I finally going to see my descendants?”
“I don’t know about that. But I would say it’s highly probable.”
“I understand. I will follow the will of Heaven. Excuse me, but what is your husband’s name?”
“··· ···”
There are no normal people here.
‘I’m sure I was considered abnormal at the Academy?’
It feels like the world is turning upside down.
