God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 123

86. Amusement park (2)

“It’s a good time.”

Jang Do-hyeon snickered as he saw Si-hyeon and Cheon Yu-ri.

“The drawing style suits you well. If you two had a child together, it would be really cute. Well, not as cute as our Heesu, though.”

Even though Sihyeon didn’t know, Cheon Yuri was definitely showing interest in the other person.

He, who had been married for 8 years, knew this well.

‘I’ve been like that too.’

Thinking of his ex-wife, who is now active elsewhere.

Jang Do-hyun was also lost in memories.

Gulp.

He found himself shedding tears as he thought of his beautiful wife.

‘You said Hyunji is still alive. So… I wonder if she’s doing well.’

He ground his teeth as he thought of Kim Hyeon, the player who had betrayed him.

‘I wouldn’t have believed that son of a bitch if he hadn’t sold local names.’

Even though he was actually close with his ex-wife, Kim Hyun-ji.

Jang Do-hyeon had no choice but to trust him like iron.

“Human. Another cry?”

“… … Leave me alone, you punk.”

Wiping away tears as the oak tree approached.

Jang Do-hyeon tried to smile.

“Still… …It’s nice to see such a peaceful sight.”

“Add a little more torque to that spin. It’s less training.”

“……okay.”

“… … Well. It’s been a while since I’ve been to an amusement park.”

Taking a quick bite of cotton candy.

Sihyeon laughed.

“That’s right. I’ve never been to an amusement park before, except when I was little… … .”

“I worked part-time at an amusement park. For over a year.”

“Really? If the disaster hadn’t happened, I could have done it for two years.”

“No. I can’t do it for two years. I’ll be fired before then.”

“… … .”

Talking about this and that.

Sihyeon and Cheon Yuri were getting a little closer.

Now, Cheon Yuri is now friendly enough to occasionally joke around with Sihyeon.

It was a sight I could never have imagined before the regression.

‘Before the regression, I was sick and didn’t know when I would die, so I didn’t give it to him on purpose?’

I had that question though.

I couldn’t tell the exact details.

It was not something I could ask Cheon Yuri before her return.

Swish.

Sihyeon took a bite of cotton candy and put it on Cheon Yuri’s head, smiling.

“Your wig is nice.”

“Really! I just got out of the shampoo!”

In fact, Cheon Yuri was taking a shower at her house on Sonae Island while the amusement park was being built.

I quickly put the cotton candy away.

“I told you, you’re secretly playful. Really?”

“Kuuuuuuu. So you don’t like it? Me?”

“That, that’s not it… … .”

Looking at Cheon Yuri, who is rarely seen flustered.

Sihyeon continued to play pranks.

Cheon Yuri didn’t know.

The more you react like that, the more I want to prank you.

From poking balls in the face, to tying long hair in ribbons, to applying frost-tribe makeup using ice crystals.

“Oh my… I told you to stop.”

“Hey… Sihyeon.”

“stop it…….”

“Stop it. Seriously.”

“Hey! Lee Si-Hyeon!”

Was the joke a little too much?

Cheon Yuri’s expression hardened, and her golden hair began to flutter.

“uh?”

For the first time in a long time, a cold air began to flow around Cheon Yuri’s body, and the surrounding amusement equipment began to freeze.

“Okay, are you kidding me?”

“Don’t stand there!”

I looked at Cheon Yuri, who was chasing me, even freezing the river water.

Sihyeon chuckled.

‘From now on, I’ll have to be more cautious when joking.’

Currently ranked 8th, Ice Flame Heavenly Glass.

It wasn’t easy to calm her down.

[Time left until the eighteenth plague: 13 days.]

“Okay. Now that we’ve had enough fun, let’s do something.”

“… … .”

“Okay, I said I’m sorry.”

After completely appeasing Cheon Yuri like that.

Sihyeon stood in front of the World Tree.

‘The defense is now solid. At least until the catastrophe begins.’

The eighteenth plague, thirteen days until the arrival of the blue elves.

It was time to start preparing.

‘Now is the time to grow the world tree quickly.’

Navigate through the buildings that serve as both amusement facilities and defensive structures.

Sihyeon turned her gaze to the seeds of the world tree still on the ground.

“Youngwoo. Are you still upset?”

“Uuuuuk… … .”

“… … I told you to take it with you in moderation.”

“Ugh. Can’t a man endure this? Is this how you can endure me?”

“Why, why should I endure you… … .”

“I don’t know!”

phut!

“Ugh!”

When Park Na-eun screamed and hit Seo Young-woo on the back.

Seo Young-woo ran somewhere and started emptying his stomach in earnest.

‘Even so, if Park Na-eun wants it, she’ll do it all. Park Na-eun is the only one who takes care of Seo Young-woo.’

Si-hyeon shook her head when she saw Seo Young-woo.

In the absence of Sihyeon, the two became even closer.

… … I don’t know if that direction is a good direction or not.

After that little commotion,

Swish.

Sihyeon said while dragging Seoyoungwoo.

“It’s time to get to work now.”

“… … Okay, brother.”

Seo Young-woo, who had completely emptied his insides, somehow came to Si-hyeon’s side.

“Let’s begin.”

Skills are broadly divided into two types.

Skills engraved on the ‘body’ and skills engraved on the ‘soul’.

Although it is not possible to distinguish them in the system, skills engraved on the body are usually influenced by the ‘race’.

Skills engraved on the soul are affected by special stats such as magic power, divine power, and magic.

In other words, Seo Young-woo, who had the body of a normal high elf, still had the power to grow plants and the skills to manipulate the wind.

Seo Young-woo’s body is currently that of a normal-high elf, Eloa.

Even if Seo Young-woo did the same action or behavior, the growth rate of the world tree would increase even more.

The most powerful talents of the ‘ordinary elves’ were growing plants and communicating with trees.

“let’s begin.”

[Activates skill, ‘Growth, Growth (A)’.]

[Skill, ‘Rapid Growth (B)’ is activated.]

The ‘Yggdrasil’s Front Wing (SS)’ in Seo Young-woo’s hand melted.

The seeds of the World Tree began to absorb ‘nectar (??)’.

[The growth rate of the world tree increases significantly.]

[Current growth rate: 1.23%.]

[If the World Tree completely absorbs an item, the growth rate increases even more.]

[Additional players will be added to the sub-quest, .]

… …

Currently participating players

The fallen king, Lee Si-Hyeon.

Flower sensory organ, Cheon Tae-su.

Ice and salt glass.

Fallen savior Seo Young-woo.

Sihyeon nodded with satisfaction after checking the hologram window.

Anyway, Seo Young-woo is Si-hyeon’s subordinate.

Because all the ‘contribution’ from his actions goes directly to Si-Hyeon.

There was no need to worry about the contribution points being stolen, as in the case of Cheon Tae-su.

‘Okay. Now that we’ve distributed the newly created Draupnir clones again… … what’s left is a countermeasure against the Blue Elves?’

Blue Elves are masters of naval warfare.

A certain amount of preparation was needed to deal with them.

‘Okay. Before that.’

Sihyeon muttered while fiddling with Draupnir.

‘Mr. Lee Won-jeong… … and I have to have a three-way meeting with my older sister.’

Kingship.

Now was the ideal time to help Si-Hyeon’s older sister, Lee Si-Eun, attain the status of a king.

“Hey! How long has it been!”

“How you doing?”

Gyeongbokgung.

It was quite a distance from Hanam, but Sihyeon was able to get there in no time because she was moving at a fairly slow pace.

“What. It hasn’t been that long. What.”

“That’s sad. Hahaha.”

Lee Won-jeong welcomed Si-hyeon and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“This time, I have some makgeolli and traditional liquors that utilize magic power, and I wanted to let you taste them first. Okay! Let’s go.”

“… …I came here because I have something to say?”

“Do it while eating! While eating. They say even Mt. Geumgang looks better after a meal.”

“… …Your Majesty. Be respectful.”

“Nagging! You come too!”

“Ugh.”

Next to me, Seo Jin-hee pushed up his glasses and let out a sigh.

Is it because I have some free time recently?

It often showed the same appearance as before the disaster began.

This was especially true in front of his subordinates, such as Seo Jin-hee himself and Kim Kang-tae, whom he could ‘entrust his back to’.

“Let’s go.”

The place we arrived at following Lee Won-jeong’s guidance(?) was a magnificent tile-roofed house.

Inside, there is an ondol (heated floor) to keep the body warm from the still chilly weather, white rice, sanjeok (stir-fried pork), bulgogi (grilled beef), galbi (ribs), soy sauce marinated crab, and soybean paste stew.

A Korean meal centered around meat dishes, Sihyeon’s favorite, was served.

“Have a drink.”

“thank you.”

Sihyeon received Lee Wonjeong’s glass.

“Kyaha… … .”

“Oh… … It’s delicious?”

Because the liquor brewed by Lee Won-jeong was something I had never tasted before my return.

Sihyeon looked at the glass in surprise.

Because most players are now physically stronger and more immune to alcohol.

The amount of alcohol was quite strong.

But even so, the first taste was sweet and there was no discomfort in swallowing.

However, it was not the case that only sweetness was felt.

There was a slightly bitter aftertaste at the end of the drink, which complemented the overall flavor.

At this level, the taste is ‘slightly’ inferior to the honey wine that Sihyeon stole from Valhalla.

‘In the human world, this is also an incredibly delicious taste.’

Because Sihyeon had already enjoyed drinking while traveling around countless worlds.

The admiration I felt just now was genuine.

“How did you make it?”

“Hahaha. You know how to taste alcohol!”

So Si-Hyeon, Lee Won-Jeong, and Seo Jin-Hee drank and ate.

“By the way, shouldn’t you get married soon?”

“What about marriage…? What, you’re not that much older than me, so why are you saying something like that?”

“Hehehe. What do you think of my subject here, Miss Seo Jin-hee? She’s cute, pretty, and even capable.”

“Your Majesty… … Please… … .”

“… … .”

I said it as a joke though.

There was about 70% sincerity in Lee Won-jeong’s words.

Of course, Seo Jin-hee wasn’t his daughter.

It would be beneficial if the relationship between the two could be strengthened by marrying her off to Sihyeon.

‘In this disaster situation, Lee Si-Hyeon… … there is no one more trustworthy than this guy.’

If you think about Sihyeon’s achievements so far, the power he has, and the strength he currently possesses.

Everyone will covet him.

However, Sihyeon was not someone who could fit under anyone.

Lee Won-jeong wanted to get his hands on Si-hyeon in this way.

‘If you don’t hate Jinhee, you should marry her off so we can be closer. I don’t trust other women, after all.’

Lee Won-jeong was anxious.

Although Sihyeon and I are said to have a relationship based on trust.

In other words, there was nothing but ‘trust’ between the two.

Ranked 2nd, the greedy cult leader Lee Si-eun is Si-hyeon’s only blood relative.

Ranked 4th, the daughter of the Flower Senggwan Cheon Taesu was close to Sihyeon.

In other words, this meant that Lee Won-jeong had no special ‘connection’ with Si-hyeon.

‘That can’t be.’

In situations like this, it’s necessary to connect or draw lines with other strong people.

‘We need a relationship where we can help each other in case disaster and other players invade at the same time, like the Greed Cult did last time.’

That’s why Lee Won-jeong had no choice but to catch Si-hyeon.

Go Young-soo was his arch enemy.

Cheon Tae-su had to confront him at some point.

Lee Si-eun was my enemy.

Whether you know this fact or not.

Sihyeon only drank meat and alcohol.

“Well, I don’t know if I can have a family.”

“You don’t know?”

“Your Majesty doesn’t have a lover either.”

“That’s… … but… … .”

Lee Won-jeong scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“Well, I should get married when the time is right.”

“It was a political marriage.”

“… …Because there are many people to take responsibility for.”

“… … .”

But Lee Won-jeong didn’t know.

That Si-Hyeon has the entirety of ‘humanity’ on his shoulders to take responsibility for.

“It’s not that I don’t like Seo Jin-hee, she’s a very charming person.”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“I still have a lot to learn.”

“Ahem… … !”

Seo Jin-hee coughed in vain next to me.

“is it so.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

In a suddenly tense atmosphere.

Lee Won-jeong raised his glass.

“Yeah! Okay. Let’s talk about this later!”

“Yes. More than this kind of story.”

After chewing the last rib and wiping my mouth with a tissue.

Sihyeon, with her eyes turned serious, spoke to Wonjeong Lee.

“I have something to tell you.”

Did you notice Sihyeon’s changed momentum?

Seo Jin-hee adjusted her glasses and activated her skill, ‘Record (B)’.
