Chapter 069

When I went outside, Monos, who had completely transformed into a woman and seemed to have no intention of hiding her true appearance, was waiting for me.

“It was nice to meet you, Athena.”

Monos, no Arachne.

“Is Mr. Monos a surveillance officer assigned to me?”

“you’re right. “We are together at the goddess’s command.”

A woman whose past was erased by Athena.

This time I had one more companion.

“What’s wrong?”

Monos looked at me and tilted his head.

“it’s nothing.”

“You are a strange person.”

Monos smiled brightly and picked up a pair of scissors from the workbench where he was cutting fabric.

“Take it. “It is a gift from Athena.”

An aura was flowing from the silver scissors used by the tailor.

“Athena emphasized that since she personally used her power, we must somehow make the promised items.”

“That’s what I can do if these scissors do their job.”

“It is an item imbued with the power of God. “Don’t doubt it.”

“… … .”

Such blind faith.

I wondered if this was something that Arachne, who not only confronted the god but also sniped at the god’s corruption with her weaving, could do this.

‘Now I’m a completely different person.’

Monos, who had forgotten all his previous memories, held out a pair of scissors to me.

“Athena’s power will definitely help you.”

-Mysterious scissors.

Jormungand, who was looking at the scissors on Suyeon Lee’s shoulder, stuck out his tongue.

Monos responded calmly to those words.

“Because it is an item imbued with the power of God.”

There were many objects imbued with the power of gods.

If you look at this hammer I’m holding, isn’t it an item that contains the power of Hephaestus?

“Please tell Athena that I am grateful.”

“All right.”

I took the scissors from her as she covered her mouth and laughed.

At the same time, a message appeared.

[Scissors imbued with the power of Athena – S grade]

[Description: Scissors filled with the power of Athena]

[Effect: Can cut anything. (Can be used 1 time)]

It was a pair of scissors that could cut anything with the power of Athena, who even had the title of god of weaving.

Being able to cut doesn’t just refer to objects.

‘He cut the thread of fate that contained Arachne’s memories and life with scissors filled with his power.’

It would not have been possible just because he was the god of weaving.

Because Athena’s prestige is not just that.

‘Unlike the Egyptian gods, who had only one godhead, the Greek gods contained all of their gods.’

I didn’t know the exact method, but I knew that its power was extraordinary.

It was also Athena-like to have written a number in advance so that it could only be cut once.

‘Once is enough.’

She had no intention of using much of her power.

The more debt you have, the bigger the boomerang will come flying towards me.

“Is there a problem?”

“The item has been confirmed.”

I took scissors.

“So are you planning to leave right away?”

“no. “I need a few days to prepare before I go.”

“Is that so.”

Monos sighed regretfully.

“So when are you leaving? “I can’t wait that long.”

“It will take about three days.”

“All right. But just know that Athena doesn’t have much patience.”

“I know better than anyone else.”

“So are you leaving like this?”

I nodded.

“In that case, please come to our tailor shop before you leave.”

“All right.”

“Then is there a spot you want to find? “If you tell us in advance, we will prepare it in advance.”

“Is there a branch in Yeongdeungpo-gu?”

“there is.”

“Then I will go there.”

“All right.”

When I saw Monos nodding, I looked at Suyeon Lee.

“Sooyeon, let’s go now.”

“Ah, yes! “Did your conversation with Athena end well?”

“It ended well.”

Suyeon Lee stood up with Jormungand wrapped around her shoulder.

I was about to go out with her who came running after me.

“I’ll be waiting for you wherever you are, and I’ll see you in three days.”

Monos, who bowed his head politely, changed again.

She, now an old woman with gray hair, stood in front of the workbench again.

I left her behind and walked out the door.

And let us go out.

“uh?”

Lee Soo-yeon’s voice sounded like she was embarrassed.

“This place is different from the one we entered earlier?”

Lee Soo-yeon asked, blinking, looking around.

Just as she said, the surrounding scenery had changed.

When we first entered the tailor shop, there were many pictorials and signs filled with gorgeous images of gods next to the old-fashioned tailor shop.

Because it was on a main street, there was a lot of floating population, so there were plenty of pictorials and colorful signs depicting gods and goddesses surrounding the tailor shop.

But the place where we stood now was a deserted alley.

“This is the ability of that tailor.”

“A tailor’s ability?”

“yes. People who have been recognized by Athena can freely move between branches like this. “No matter where it came from.”

It was a similar ability to the moving castle that appeared in the famous Japanese cartoon movie.

The ability to open a door wherever you want just by setting it.

“really? “Then isn’t he greater than Hermes?”

I shook my head.

Although it seemed amazing, even that ability had its limits.

The most fundamental limitation is that if there is no branch in that location, you cannot visit it.

Like Hermes, it was not available to everyone, nor was it unlimited use.

-As far as I know, this ability can only be used by Athena’s apostles. Did you sign a contract to buy it?

“That’s not right.”

Jormungand stuck out his tongue.

-I guess I really liked you.

“Did you know, Mr. Jormungand?”

-I heard it from my father. There are several gods who have uniquely decorated their pantheon. This is my first time seeing it in person.

“Huh, Pantheon?”

I answered her question instead.

“That tailor shop is Athena’s Pantheon.”

“ah… .”

Su-yeon Lee nodded as if she understood, but then her eyes flashed and she looked at me.

“Now, wait a minute! It was Athena’s pantheon? here?”

Su-yeon Lee jumped up and shouted, pointing to the tailor shop.

“Yes, didn’t you know?”

“Of course I didn’t know. “I’ve never been to the Pantheon, where the gods are worshiped, in person.”

She stamped her feet as if it was a waste.

“Ah, please tell me in advance. If I had known that would happen, I would have taken a few pictures… .”

right. This guy was a huge myth fanatic.

“I couldn’t even see Athena in person, and I didn’t realize that the place I entered was the Pantheon… . “I did a poor job, really.”

Suyeon Lee muttered with her shoulders drooping.

He had a truly dejected face.

“What can I do? “This is also my job.”

“Take a picture next time you come.”

“Are you going again?”

“I said Monos would accompany me. “I will go one more time.”

“aha.”

Only then did the shadow on his face disappear.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“We worked hard hunting night monsters, so we should rest for a day. Sooyeon, please get some rest too. “It must have been difficult.”

“Hmm, it wasn’t that hard… . All right.”

-Can I go with you?

Jormungand, who was still on Lee Su-yeon’s shoulder, asked.

“No, you stay with Su-yeon while you rest.”

-I get it. What do you mean?

Although something may not happen right away, you need insurance just in case.

Nothing will happen if Jormungand is by your side.

After sending Sooyeon Lee away, I also headed home.

I needed to take a day off to reflect on the abilities I had gained and my future direction.

Both Horus and the Nightmare were enemies that were not in my plans.

The future changed while hunting Hephaestus and Azur.

The death of Hephaestus caused Horus to move, and the annihilation of Azur’s apostates caused the Nightmare to move.

It has become a completely different flow from my previous life.

‘Every future from now on will not be the same as the past life I saw.’

This meant that although we could predict the future, we could not be optimistically confident that everything would turn out to be correct.

‘Meeting Lee Hyeon in the lava cave was also unexpected.’

Circumstances that were different from the past life I knew began to increase.

How many situations will there be in the future where memories from a past life can be used?

Now, I may be witnessing a completely different situation from what I remember.

No, I already saw it.

Loki’s request to save Fenrir and Hel was something that had never happened before.

Because in my past life, I let Fenrir die.

So maintenance was needed. Because the information you have does not disappear.

I also had to change to keep up with the changing trends.

And when I arrived in front of the house.

“Dojin, it’s been a while.”

Even though the weather had gotten much warmer, Mr. Deoksu, who was still selling bungeoppang, called me.

“Uncle Deoksu, how have you been?”

“Hehe, I’m the same. Aren’t you making a living by selling bungeoppang? It’s hard to see your face these days. “Have you got a job?”

“It’s similar. “I’m having a good time finding a place to work.”

“Thank goodness. I feel like I’m in good spirits and doing well. You don’t know how worried I was. haha.”

A man with a kind smile handed me a freshly baked bungeoppang.

“this. I’d like to congratulate you on your job, but this is the only thing I can do. “Take one and go.”

I received the steaming bungeoppang that the man offered me.

“thank you. “It’s thanks to you.”

My entire family died in an accident, and it was thanks to Uncle Deoksu that I was able to survive until now.

The bungeoppang he gave me every day.

This warm and steaming bungeoppang lifted me up from my frustration.

When I felt like I was going to collapse, I kept thinking of this bungeoppang to cheer myself up.

I gritted my teeth and held on tenaciously, thinking that there would be at least one person who would be sad if I collapsed.

Thanks to this, he became the only hunter who did not believe in God and survived to the end.

Even though it didn’t end well, it may be thanks to this bungeoppang that I was able to come back like this.

I cut the still hot bungeoppang in half.

The golden brown exterior was torn apart, revealing the sweet red beans and white flesh inside.

When I looked at those fluffy things, I felt my heart warm without me knowing.

It might be thanks to the memories I received from Uncle Deoksu.

“It’s delicious.”

“Haha, I have several years of experience. Do-jin: I guess you got a job, so I can make you feel more at ease in the future. haha.”

The wrinkled smile kept tickling my chest.

The bungeoppang he gave me was sweet and delicious.

I took out an envelope of money I had received from a transaction with Choi Joo-man on the black market the other day and held it out.

“What is this?”

“It’s the price of bungeoppang.”

The money in the envelope was 5 million won.

The money was not enough compared to the grace I received from him.

When Deoksu looked inside the envelope, his eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.

“Where did you get this money… .”

“I told you. “I did something similar to get a job.”

“You idiot, what if you give me all that money? I can’t get this money. “You take it with you.”

“It’s not a lot of money compared to what I received from my uncle. please accept this.”

“I didn’t help you to get money. “I can’t take this money.”

Uncle Deoksu tried to force the envelope into my hand.

I forced the envelope on that guy.

A strange fight ensued in which each party refused to accept the money envelope.

“Mister, if you don’t take that, I won’t eat bungeoppang anymore?”

“you… .”

“How can I keep eating? Until now, I just kept getting it. This is my repayment for the grace I have received so far. please accept this.”

“You bastard… .”

In the end, Mr. Deoksu could not overcome my stubbornness and accepted the envelope.

“I can’t help it when you say that.”

After finishing speaking, Mr. Deoksu turned off the light of the bungeoppang machine and closed the stall.

“Then let’s go eat. “Mr. Sama.”

“Where is the money?” .”

“An unknown Santa gave me money as a gift. “I don’t have anywhere to spend my money, so I just want to have a meal with a guy like my son.”

Uncle Deoksu said, waving an envelope of money.

With the money I gave you to use for you, the first thing you do is buy me a meal.

“… All right.”

He was really manly.

“Let’s go. “I know a good store.”
