I Translated the Necronomicon - Chapter 43



43 Tekkeli-ri! Shouted in the middle.

“Ah-ahh… Yudahee! Yudahee!!!”

Penelope, fuming at Yudahee who had popped out after eating a Varisada.

That brat, who claimed to just borrow it for a moment, ended up holding onto it and not returning.

Even after returning, there was a chance to return it in the waiting room, but instead of returning, he immediately disappeared with it.

“….?”

In the waiting room where the Malangkau water buffalo worshippers, shaken by the shock of the bankruptcy sword, waited a little longer, there was no sign of him coming back.

“My, my Barisada…”

The feeling of having a precious sword, used for less than a week in real battles, stolen was truly the lowest.

Originally, there were implicit rules among contractees.

Weapons and equipment taken during the match were usually returned to the opponent after the match, unless they were consumables, and those who received them paid an appropriate fee.

If no one touched the equipment during the match, it didn’t matter.

It naturally returned to the owner.

Of course, there was an exception for those who wouldn’t touch something like Barisada.

Although Barisada was not yet known, in fact, she was practically a moving treasure chest.

The amount to be paid for returning Barisada was truly unimaginable, and it was a principle not to take her unless it was a match that was sure to win…

The ambition to debut spectacularly in the first match, the first appearance, took hold.

And honestly, until just before the match, Penelope thought she would win.

However…

Anyone can have such a convincing plan.

Until you get a beating from Yudahee.

No, there are all sorts of monsters like that!

Even in the first encounter, after a perfect defeat… After Penelope was captivated by the Demon King and even when she possessed tremendous power, there was no excuse for the inevitable defeat…

“Uh…!”

The memory of their bodies tightly pressed against each other came to mind, but Penelope shook her head to dismiss it.

“You said you were just borrowing it for a moment! Why haven’t you even contacted me?!”

Despairing, Penelope slammed the ground, but Balkan’s face remained unnervingly calm.

“Tsk tsk.”

“No, aren’t you worried at all?! My baby was kidnapped!”

“It’s not like you’re the only one who thinks it was a kidnapping, right?”

“Then how can you justify not contacting me at all?”

All communication through the sacred gallery was ignored, and even after waiting at the entrance of the penthouse, all Penelope saw was Yuda-hee peeking out briefly before swiftly shutting the door and disappearing.

“Arggh!”

She rushed towards the door, but he vanished so quickly that there was nothing she could do.

Just left rolling on the ground.

If this isn’t a scam, then what is?

“Don’t worry and stay put, your black will return to you as it should.”

“How can you say that so casually?!”

“I can, even when we’re apart. Varisada will definitely come back to you. So, either practice or go to bed, hey…”

All the works created by Balkan were no different than his own children.

Look at that indifferent expression even when his child is kidnapped!

That poker face! Unwavering gaze… Yet, a strange thought crossed Penelope’s mind.

Could it be… that it’s not his child after all…?!

The novel was written by a ghostwriter, and the substitute, like an alternate artist who draws from somewhere, was Varisada too…

“By any chance… did you entrust the surrogate production of this-“

Snap!

“Uh-huh!”

Before finishing the sentence, Balkan threw a honey-filled night just like that.

Where did this thought come from for his only contractor to have such wicked ideas?

Penelope’s inability to properly control Varisada was understandable, but Balkan knew it was inevitable.

Because numerous eyes focused on Yudahee were making it impossible for him to budge.

Overwhelming attention unlike before.

Not just the kind of s*x scandal that even the divine beings brushed off as a funny happening…

The interest sparked by the miracle of winning the arena twice in a row was truly explosive, incomparable to the past.

What to say when even the divine beings were lying on the street trying to figure out his every move.

The concentration of the divine beings, who started to obsess over what he eats, what hobbies he has, his daily routine, and how many times he goes to the bathroom, was truly terrifying.

And what set their hearts on fire and sent them into a frenzy was undoubtedly the finishing blow delivered to the last demon king, caused by the attack that split a giant mountain in one blow.

Even Balkan himself, witnessing the attack that split the enormous mountain where everything he had done was encapsulated in one blow, was left speechless and in a daze.

Just before, Balkan thought that as long as Penelope continued to grow, he would be a contractor who could never be inferior to Yudahee… but he had to change that perspective.

Balkan was a divine being whose mindset was fixed on the idea that Penelope could never surpass Yudahee.

Even Balkan was contemplating visiting once to subtly offer a contract – that’s how other divine beings would be, let alone say anything.

It was natural that they couldn’t move.

Well, considering Yudahee’s personality so far, it didn’t seem like he would snatch someone else’s belongings…

Just think of it as temporarily entrusting them.

Of course, his contractor, Penelope, was on the verge of rolling on the floor with a distressed look, but it was just before the execution of her plan.

There was no negotiation with the kidnapper – Yudahee shouted phrases like “Yudahee’s punishment!” Seeing that, there was a slight concern, but well, it should be manageable.

Balkan just needed to be prepared.

As soon as the atmosphere slightly settled, he would prepare a gift for Yudahee.

Balkan knew very well that winning Yudahee’s favor was not a bad idea.

As a contractor, or even for Penelope’s sake.

If you can’t beat them, join them! There’s even a saying like that.

Watching the arena footage, it seemed like he had fought someone with a gravity field in the past. He might be a great teacher for Penelope.

He wasn’t talented in teaching, but still, with someone like Yudahee… he could lead Penelope well.

So, what he was creating now was for Yudahee, but also an item for Penelope.

A hammer flew into Balkan’s hand, determined to create something that would greatly enhance Penelope’s skill proficiency.

Come to think of it, Yudahee couldn’t use weapons properly.

If he goes all out, the sword will break, and the bowstring will snap from the intense force. He needed a weapon that could withstand such powerful strikes.

Parasha may withstand Yudahee’s swings, but with just a single hand axe, the capabilities are significantly limited.

Heh heh.

Next time they meet in the arena waiting room, Balkan said he would show an item that would make Yudahee’s eyes widen with laughter.

It would undoubtedly be a satisfying gift.

But there was something unexpected even for him…

Yuda-hee scratched his head as he looked at the alarm notification from the Administration Bureau that had flown to him.

[Contractor Mr. Yuda-hee is a crucial witness involved in international incidents, therefore, his participation in the game is suspended, and access to the arena is prohibited.]

[However, there will be no application of participation penalties, and as compensation for the suspension, the Administration Bureau will provide +3 arena points per suspension, we would like to inform.]

—–

“Oops, this is unexpected.”

He knew that there would be some measures from the Administration Bureau, but suspending his participation was a card he hadn’t even considered.

Honestly, he had expected a considerable amount of surveillance from the Administration Bureau to prevent any nonsense related to international incidents after his participation, but…

Banning him from participating altogether seemed unnecessary.

“Hmm….”

He had expected some concessions, like a ban on summoning rituals or limitations on the number of uses.

After all, it was reasonable considering he had won twice using summoning rituals, and the prestige of his last summon, Niyala-Dike, was overwhelming.

The overwhelming advantage of being able to fight alongside a deity.

He could have accepted it if the Administration Bureau imposed restrictions on summoning rituals, but a hardware ban on Yuda-hee?

Wasn’t this going too far…!

Of course, the Administration Bureau’s decision to provide a steady +3 points, almost equivalent to third place, as compensation was considered, but did Yuda-hee have to be satisfied with that?

Who am I?

The last season’s arena champion and the first champion of season 2.

How perfect is this career?

Those guys who used to mock me as a “Rocket” have all sunk under the protection of the Paragon’s shield for a long time.

If they were to praise Yudahee instead, they would have filled the gallery.

Anyway, there was nothing to do as she was suspended from participating… Yudahee, who had become unemployed, rolled around on the sofa and accessed the prestigious gallery.

The clamor of the prestigious and the contractors’ cheers began to overwhelm her.

[Yudahee is a god, and the summoning materials are invincible.]

– Watching the arena in real time and immediately engaging in speculation… Do you see the current price of the World Tree’s leaves…? It’s skyrocketed by 450%, this is the birth of a god. Let’s all cheer together-.

– It’s because of you, it’s because of you, it’s because of you, it’s because of you, it’s because of you,

– This damn bastard, when I say something nice, quickly release the stock, you jerk. Track the IQ and get in right away before it’s too late.

– ….Is that elixir filled in that jar right now? It’s 100ml with 10 million ether, damn it? This crazy bastard- pretending.

[Summoning contractor I recently signed a contract with, said he couldn’t do it, so I immediately cut him off.]

-This little bastard was in front of me saying he couldn’t do it. What? You’re not Yudahee? Oh my, my~

-A mere contractor cannot be compared to the god of summoning…

-Huruve Yurayura…. Come forth, Goddess of Justice, Dike Astraea!

-You might have missed out on this little guy ㅋㅋㅋ Could it be? How will that contracted person who was slighted be in 11 years ㅋㅋㅋ

-Throwing away a capable person with thorough self-control? It’s incomparable to the boasting pretenders who only spout words that won’t come true. It’s a superior item, but you’re throwing it away? Abandoning your team? Go pick it up right away ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[So, is there a place where the current prestigious summoning is done following Yudahee’s method?]

-I’m currently trying various methods, but for now, just following the simple ritual doesn’t satisfy the offering, so I’m trying to use various metal combinations as a catalyst. I mixed copper and lead to induce a reaction, and this thing popped out. It’s quite useful, isn’t it? I plan to try using it as a catalyst soon.

-A lump of metal floating on a magnet.jpg

-….? Why is that quantum-locked on the magnet?

-Oh… immediately put that away… Did you record the mixing table by any chance…?

◈The Philosopher’s Stone of the 21st Century…

◈Does the person who’s currently squinting know what they’ve discovered…?

[Divine Invocation, successful but a failure.]

– Kept trying to transmute with the ingredients, and ended up summoning something bizarre… Definitely not our divine being. Any idea what this is? Reinforced it with enchantment and stored it in a glass jar; it’s a small tentacle, for sure.

– Purple tentacle.jpg

◈What the heck did this guy manage to summon? LOL

◈Summoning rituals are dangerous for this reason… if you slip up in a single circuit, you end up summoning something weird.

◈[Author] But this tentacle seems to be saying strange things at the end. Is this usual in such cases?

◈What’s it saying?

◈[Author] It’s chanting “Tekkeli-ri!”

◈aaargh! Dom Hwangcha!

◈[Author] Huh? This guy inside is turning the lid, ㄱㄷ-ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ ㅕ#&ㅛㅈ!#!(_%${＞0-

◈Emergency! Emergency! Admin, damn admin! It’s this guy, this guy! I don’t know anything!
