Chapter 067

The place we arrived at was an old-fashioned tailor shop.

Classical music was playing in a tailor shop with an old-fashioned atmosphere that reminded me of a movie about secret agents.

Suyeon Lee asked me when we arrived at the tailor shop where the violin melody was playing.

“There is something here that can save Fenrir?”

She lowered her voice extremely low when she mentioned Fenrir’s name.

“Yes, it is here.”

“But this is an ordinary tailor shop. It doesn’t seem like God is running it… .”

She said, looking at the sign.

A signboard that simply explains the purpose of the store without any modifiers.

It was a very practical and perhaps indifferent sign.

“Is it true that a place like this really has something great that we need to save Fenrir?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

And it was also a sign that was very out of place today.

Suyeon Lee raised her head and looked at the nearby stores.

In addition to having the name of a god engraved on it, there were also many stores that used the god’s symbol or even the god as a direct model.

A full-length pictorial of God was drawn on the signboard as well as on the glass wall.

There were even cases where the guild’s apostles were pictured together as models.

The relevant god and guild guarantee the quality of the store.

It was one of the commercial tactics that gave trust by claiming that it was run by God.

In fact, it was common sense for stores related to God to have such fancy packaging.

In that respect, the store, which had only three letters and no message or logo, could not be found to have any connection with God.

“I’m not doubting it! “I’m just worried.”

That’s what Sooyeon Lee was talking about.

I wonder if this store, which looks so ordinary, or perhaps stands out more because it is ordinary, really has great products.

But often, real treasures are hidden in seemingly ordinary places.

That store was exactly that.

A store that is more special than anyone else, disguised as ordinary.

“Do not worry. “You will find out when you go inside.”

I took the lead and went inside.

The tailor shop, where you could hear the old-fashioned violin melody, created an atmosphere as if you were in Victorian-era England.

“what? It was definitely narrow outside… .”

-That’s fascinating. It’s expansion magic.

I entered the lobby, leaving behind the voices of Lee Su-yeon and Jormungand, who were surprised by the interior being larger than expected.

At the workbench in front of the lobby, an old gentleman with snow-white hair was hard at work, wearing a neat gray suit and monocle.

“Excuse me… .”

I grabbed Su-yeon Lee’s shoulder as she tried to talk to the gentleman.

At least for now, don’t disturb this man.

Interrupting a craftsman at work was the best way to ruin his first impression.

“Let’s wait a moment. “The craftsman is working on it.”

“… all right.”

She read my eyes and nodded.

“Then shall I sit here?”

“Relax. “You can take a look inside for a moment.”

-I’m with Lee Su-yeon. I guess it will get in the way of your future work.

“As convenient as possible.”

While Suyeon Lee was sitting on a chair in the lobby, reading a magazine scattered around the store, Jormungand guarded her.

I looked at the monocle-wearing tailor working in silence.

His hands were neat as he worked on each piece, keeping the measurements in order.

He was quickly putting together a suit by cutting and splicing fabric with neat, clean hands.

I looked at the suits scattered around the tailor shop.

Mannequins wearing suits with no wrinkles and ready-made clothes of the same design scattered on hangers.

Just looking at it, there were luxurious clothes spread out.

The handmade clothes were full of traces of magic.

[Artisan’s Clothing – Grade A]

[Description: This is a garment made by a skilled weaver. Just wearing it has the effect of making your body lighter.]

[Effect 1: The power of wind protects the wearer.]

[Effect 2: Withstands the blade of a sword.]

The lowest grade of clothing was grade B, and grade A was often visible.

There was no sign of God or magic on the exterior of the store, but from the moment I opened the door, I felt a strong sense of mystical power.

Unusually spacious interior compared to the exterior.

Clothing imbued with magic.

I looked back at him adjusting his suit with his wrinkled hands.

square. square.

Even under my gaze, the old man’s hand movements did not stop.

He quickly made clothes and magically completed a suit coat in less than an hour.

“Hmm… .”

The old man’s brows furrowed as he swallowed heavily and looked at various parts of the suit, and he immediately cut the completed suit with scissors.

square!

“This isn’t it either.”

The old man who cut the finished product without hesitation finally turned his gaze to me, who was watching me work in front of him.

“Ah, a guest has arrived.”

He opened his mouth in a flirtatious manner, as if he had finally discovered me.

I already knew that he had been recognizing me for a long time.

But I didn’t necessarily point out that point.

Because I need this person’s help right now.

“Are you here to get your clothes tailored? Or are you here to buy a finished product?”

At his question, I briefly glanced at the door behind him.

[Analysis is not possible.]

[High-grade magic is given.]

The Eye of Horus responded.

also.

“I want to wear a pair of underwear with the spirit of a craftsman.”

The old man’s left eyebrow rose at my words.

“Our tailor shop does not handle underwear.”

“Then why not wear underwear?”

“Where are you from?”

“Does it matter? “What’s important is that the meaning made sense.”

The old man looked at me for a moment and then nodded.

“… Yes. you’re right.”

And at that moment, his voice changed.

Just a moment ago, it was the voice of a serious old man, but it was a voice as innocent as a reed swaying in the wind.

His appearance began to distort along with the voice.

His short, snow-white hair gradually grew longer and turned a beautiful brown color.

The suit she was wearing changed into a light green dress, and her old face changed into that of a young woman.

“Grandpa turned into a sister…” .”

Lee Su-yeon opened her mouth in surprise.

But I just looked at the young woman.

“You’re not surprised.”

“I’ve experienced many more surprising things.”

My father-in-law, who had transformed into a woman so beautiful that it caught people’s attention, bowed her head to me again.

“Nice to meet you. I greet the guest again politely. It’s called Monos.”

“This is Dojin.”

Monos means alone in Greek.

But I knew her real name.

Arachne.

A weaver.

In the folk tale, an unlucky woman who was cursed by Athena and turned into a spider.

When the gods merged with the world in the story and descended, Arachne also descended.

Not in the form of a spider, but in the form of a human.

‘In my past life, I drank the water from the river of Lethe by Athena, lost my past memories, and lived as Monos.

Just like now, it was Athena’s doing.

We do not know why Athena made Arachne drink the water from the river Lethe.

However, he tried to erase Arachne from this world by killing her memories and giving her name to a spider-type monster.

‘Still, I guess I like that ability, so I’m using it like this without killing him.’

My guess is that he wanted to erase the memories of Arachne, the only human who defeated him, and take only her abilities.

Erasing memories is the same as mentally killing a person.

Because what keeps you who you are is none other than your memories.

What was the ending like for her who lost her past life and memories of her past?

He even sacrificed his life to save Athena, who erased his memories.

It is ironic that he would sacrifice his life for a god who turned him into a spider and erased his memories.

“Athena is waiting inside.”

She smiled and pointed to the inner room I had seen earlier.

That was the room where Athena, the real owner of this tailor shop, was staying.

Suyeon Lee, who was watching this from behind, clung to me.

“Well, didn’t you just say Athena?”

“that’s right. “The owner of this tailor shop.”

“Athena. God is running it himself, so why… ?”

I’m asking why it had such a rough and ordinary appearance.

“I don’t know, so ask yourself.”

The person who answered my question was not Sooyeon Lee, but Arachne, or rather Monos.

“I’m sorry, but Athena only invited Dojin. No one else can enter.”

“oh… .”

Lee Soo-yeon lets out an exclamation of regret.

Instead of insisting, she whispered in a low voice.

“Mr. Dojin, are you… .”

Although she didn’t say anything, I knew what she wanted to say.

He is asking if he will kill Athena like the other gods.

“We won’t do that here.”

Because I need her help right now.

“Please wait. I’ll be back soon. “You too, stay by Suyeon’s side.”

-I get it.

In some cases, the name of Jormungand was not mentioned.

After leaving the two in the lobby, I opened the door to the staff room.

The moment I opened the door, a warm breeze enveloped me.

A soft, warm breeze drew me in, and as I passed through the door, it closed of its own accord.

I looked inside the staff room.

It was a room with a completely different atmosphere from the Victorian-era English tailor shop I had just seen.

The marble and decorations unique to Greek buildings were brilliantly embroidered.

Traces of modern civilization were visible throughout the interior, which resembled the famous Parthenon.

Should I say it is a beautiful combination of past and present?

“He’s an interesting guy.”

As I was looking around the room, I heard a voice from inside.

I looked towards where the sound was coming from and saw Athena slowly walking out wearing an ancient Greek dress, a purple peplos.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom and intelligence, the goddess of peace and war, and the goddess of crafts and arts.

One of the 12 gods of Olympus, she is currently a goddess with the title of upper-class god.

Although she was one of the 12 gods of Olympus like Hephaestus, the sense of intimidation given by her ascending to the top level immediately after her advent was on a different level.

She was smiling, but the momentum was not good at all.

“How does a human being know the password to this place?”

She held a wine glass in one hand and asked me while drinking wine.

I raised the hammer to Athena.

Hephaestus’ hammer.

A holy relic obtained by killing the 12 gods of Olympus.

“Do you want to know what this is?”

Athena’s eyes narrowed.

“You have something interesting.”

“Thanks to you, I figured it out.”

The corners of Athena’s mouth rose at those words.

“It’s fun. Are you here to kill me too?”

“no. “I’m here to make a proposition.”

“proposal?”

“Don’t you want to try using a human who killed a god?”

Anything is possible to prevent a future in which everyone is destroyed.

Even if it is God.
