God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 033

30. Disaster Forest (1)

“The only person who can cure my illness… is that human?”

“yes.”

“How on earth… … .”

“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you that.”

Because it was a difficult statement to accept.

Cheon Yuri’s expression remained frozen and showed no sign of relaxing.

“… … .”

After sipping tea like that for a while again.

Cheon Yuri opened her mouth.

“Do you know everything about my family history?”

“I don’t know about that. But I am certain that Mr. Tae-su Cheon, Mr. Yu-ri Cheon’s father, is the only person who can cure the illness.”

“… … I didn’t want to see you even if I died.”

Cheon Yuri sighed.

“If you don’t want to die, you have to meet.”

“… … .”

“That person and I were close when we were young. He was a doctor with a daughter. It was an ordinary family.”

This was the second time I heard about Cheon Yuri’s family history.

Sihyeon listened to her complaints silently.

“The conflict between us started after my mother died in a drunk driving accident. After my mother died and I entered high school, that person came home drunk every day.”

“… … .”

“It’s funny. Living like that, drinking so much… … breaking all the dishes in the house. If my grades dropped even a little bit and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to go to medical school, I would yell at him to strip naked and throw me out. Every time that happened, I would yell at him to stop projecting my mother onto me. I didn’t want to go to medical school. But that person, who was the director of the hospital, yelled at me that I had to go to medical school and work at his hospital. So in the end… … .”

Cheon Yuri laughed bitterly.

“I passed. It was thanks to my mother’s smarts.”

“You must have studied a lot.”

“I did a lot. That person was crazy about it at the time. But I ran away from home the next day. Before I even became an adult. From then on, I lived without any ties to that person. For a whole 7 years.”

“… … .”

“Fortunately, I was able to earn my tuition by working as a tutor after getting into medical school, and I was able to enter another department at the best university in Seoul. I was a little later than other kids, but… … I still had pride in becoming a member of society on my own. And so, after getting a job at a public corporation for a year, the world changed like this.”

Cheon Yuri turned her head and said.

I saw a single tear welling up in her eye.

Sihyeon’s mind was not good either.

The conflict between Cheon Yuri and Cheon Taesu was not usually deep.

Cheon Yuri hurt her father by giving up on speaking and getting into medical school.

Cheon Tae-su hurt his daughter with violence.

The gap between the two had widened to the point where it could not be restored.

Sihyeon knew.

That the two eventually reconcile.

‘Just before Cheon Yuri dies… … Cheon Taesu reconciles with her.’

Five great evils that tried to swallow up the entire Korean peninsula and transfer it to another world.

Seo Young-woo of Eden.

Park Na-eun of Olympus.

The two-faced man of Hwanin.

Kim Hyun of Asgard.

Cheontaesu in Seocheon Flower Garden.

Because Sihyeon had fought with all of them before.

I knew all about them.

In particular, Cheon Tae-su was the father of his colleague Cheon Yu-ri and had a tricky ability to use plants.

And after a fierce fight, he stood up to the gods as a collaborator of Shihyeon.

I knew about it very well.

‘If you have the magical power that Mr. Cheon Tae-soo possesses, you can completely cure Cheon Yu-ri.’

Unfortunately, there was no choice.

“Isn’t that a funny story?”

“… … No. Still, we have no choice.”

“Even after hearing this, you still tell me to go find that person?”

Cheon Yuri shouted.

“Do you think that person will accept me? Me, who threw away my medical school acceptance certificate?”

Is it because I’m too excited?

A strong cold air began to spray around the glass window.

Starting with the hot tea that Cheon Yuri was holding solidifying like ice.

Everything around started to freeze.

“… … .”

“For that person, his son’s medical school acceptance certificate meant everything! Considering that he didn’t say anything for 7 years and didn’t even come to see me… … .”

“That’s not it.”

Sihyeon said firmly.

“Because Cheon Tae-soo misses Cheon Yu-ri more than anyone else.”

“What does Si-Hyeon know! Even though she grew up in a happy family… .”

“It wasn’t a happy family.”

Sihyeon smiled bitterly.

“My older sister killed my father and stepmother when I was in kindergarten.”

“……yes?”

“I killed him with a kitchen knife while he was sleeping.”

Cheon Yuri froze after hearing Sihyeon’s story.

It was such a shocking statement that it made his own story seem pathetic.

‘I don’t think you’d be the type of person to lie about something like this… … .’

“My sister ran away like that. Well, she was a juvenile delinquent so she didn’t get punished.”

“Excuse me?”

“It’s true.”

Sihyeon chuckled.

“Don’t look at it that way. It happened a long time ago.”

If you include the years since his return, it was a really long time ago for Si-Hyeon.

It was a huge shock at the time, but now I’ve become numb to it and it doesn’t bother me at all.

“I’m sorry. I made a slip of the tongue… .”

“It’s okay. I understand.”

And then silence came again.

It was a silence so heavy it couldn’t even be compared to before.

And it was Sihyeon who broke the silence.

“I made a promise with Ms. Cheon Yuri.”

“Is it a promise?”

“It was a deal, to be exact… … In exchange for Cheon Yuri purchasing a random spirit stone box for you, I’ll cure your illness.”

“… … .”

“I have to keep my word unconditionally. That’s why I will cure Cheon Yuri’s illness by any means necessary.”

“I appreciate your feelings, though.”

Cheon Yuri shook her head.

“I don’t feel like going to that person. No, even if I go… … will that person accept me?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“… … ?”

“If you won’t accept it, I’ll beat you up and make you heal. Ah… … Isn’t that something you should say to your father?”

“Hoo hoo hoo hoo.”

To Sihyeon’s pointless joke.

Cheon Yuri’s expression softened and she smiled.

“Thank you. Even if it’s just words.”

“Thank you.”

“By the way, the two of us have a secret.”

“That’s right. Only the two of us know each other’s family history.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

So the two looked at the night sky.

There was silence for a long time again.

‘Cheon Tae-soo will definitely cure Cheon Yu-ri’s illness.’

Sihyeon was convinced.

It was true that Cheon Tae-su always missed Cheon Yu-ri.

I don’t know about Cheon Yuri, but I’ve always heard news about her in the seven years since she ran away.

Before the regression, after the disaster, I was running around trying to cure Cheon Yuri’s illness.

He is a character who stood up to God, even breaking the contract he had made with the God he had made.

There was only one reason: Cheon Yuri’s will to protect people.

‘That’s not all there is to do.’

Of course, curing Cheon Yuri’s illness is the top priority.

There was something I had to do in advance to find Cheon Tae-su.

The place where Cheon Tae-su is is Seocheon Flower Garden.

All kinds of flowers, materials, and elixirs.

In short, it was a place overflowing with rare items.

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

So, there were about 13 days left until the disaster.

Sihyeon and Cheon Yuri packed their bags and left.

Actually, there was nothing to pack.

Because all the luggage went into the kibisis.

“Take good care of it while I’m away.”

“Yes, brother! Just leave it to me.”

“Ugh… … The fun Si-hyeon is gone, leaving only the boring Yeong-woo behind. What a pity.”

“Haha. I’ll be back soon, big sister.”

“Yuri, be nervous. I’m going to surpass your cooking skills while you’re gone… … .”

“sister…….”

Cheon Yuri hugged Seo Ji-hye tightly.

“thank you.”

“Thank you. I didn’t do anything for you.”

I didn’t know what happened between them.

Sihyeon thought so and set off on her way.

“It may come after the eighth plague.”

“Yes. I will take good care of it. Brother! Sister!”

“Remember well the information about the demons I told you.”

“… … Thank you always.”

Sihyeon has informed Seoyoungwoo of the information about the demons.

If he were you, he would be able to unravel this information little by little and prepare adequately.

Before his regression, he was a powerful person who had created a huge force on his own.

“Then shall we go too?”

“yes.”

So the two of them started walking.

The place they are headed to is Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

It was where Cheon Yuri was born and raised, and where Cheon Taesu is currently located.

Samseong Station, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

This place barely collapsed despite six disasters.

Instead, there was something surrounding these numerous buildings.

Green vines and huge, unidentifiable thorns.

A carnivore, or rather, a man-eating plant, like a Venus flytrap.

Even the purple poisonous mist that spews out from some flowers.

Not only the average players, but even the demons wouldn’t even think of coming around here.

First of all, it wasn’t easy to approach because of the solo dance.

The plants that made up the disaster forest grew back in an instant no matter how much they were cut down and burned.

Is that all?

Thorns rained down from all sides.

The tree roots that had dug through the ground were squeezing my whole body.

So this place was famous among players in Gangnam-gu and Seocho-gu.

The name given to this huge forest that extends from Daechi Station to Cheongdam Station is ‘Disaster Forest’.

It was given that name because none of the demons or players who went inside returned.

Still, there were players who came here often.

It was because of a certain rumor.

“It’s just a rumor.”

Near the Disaster Forest located at Samseong Station.

A man in front of him laughed quietly.

“Deep in the forest of disaster, there is a doctor who can cure any disease.”

“Hehehe… … This place is really the best, hyung.”

“That’s right. All the stupid kids come here.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“Don’t laugh too loudly.”

Shh.

“Because the prey runs away.”

A stubborn belly, tons of tattoos, a sadistic smile.

The name of the man who is covered in C-grade items that are said to be hard to obtain is Jo Jin-seong.

He was a hunter.

I was actually a player with a hunter class that handled bows and crossbows.

Because he had been a gangster before the disaster began, he also had the B-class trait of being a ‘human hunter’.

If you think about it, most players have E or D rank characteristics.

Jo Jin-seong’s characteristics were quite useful.

“Brother. Here he comes.”

“I saw it too. So now… … .”

Shh.

“Everyone, shut up and wait.”

Jo Jin-seong.

After hearing rumors about the ‘doctor’ in the Disaster Forest, players are tricked into coming to find him, and he kills them to gain experience and steal items.

He was a kind of hyena-like man.

‘They’re still young guys. Alright.’

Jo Jinseong raised the corners of his mouth when he saw the player coming to the Disaster Forest.

After patting my head for a moment.

He walked forward alone, keeping his men hidden.

Being young means having less experience.

And less experience meant you were more likely to fall into the traps you had set.

“Hello. I am Jo Jinseong, the gatekeeper who manages this disaster forest.”

Looking at the man and woman in front of him.

Jo Jin-seong extended his hand.

“Nice to meet you.”

“The gatekeeper?”

The man in front of her said as he sent the woman back.

Black armor, a fairly sharp Japanese sword, the occasional flash of black lightning, and a red pouch.

It was a player with pure white skin and red lips.

“I haven’t heard anything like that.”

“You came to find the doctor in the Disaster Forest, right? Don’t worry about anything. Just follow me.”

Jo Jin-seong showed a kind smile.

“If only they would give us a few points for the toll.”
