When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 67



Only Krnovel

67. Things left behind

A hot breeze filled the yard.

A spectacle of a violent storm of fierce flames.

It looked as if the house would be swallowed up at any moment, but his house was intact and not burned down.

Oh Hyeon-seong, standing in the middle, also just calmly looks straight ahead.

Knock knock!

The fluttering sparks swayed dazzlingly, then gathered together and took the shape of a spirit.

A provocative-looking woman with flowing red hair suddenly approached Oh Hyun-seong.

“Long time no see, master.”

Blea, the superior spirit of fire.

As she spoke with a bright smile, a faint smile spread across Oh Hyeon-seong’s lips.

“Yeah. How much is this, Blair?”

Spirits do not speak human language.

The lower spirits were of such low rank that they could not speak the languages ​​of other races, and the higher spirits, although they could speak them well enough, did not use them.

This is because they feel ashamed to speak a language other than the language of the spirits.

The spirits of the upper ranks each had a very noble pride, and they were actually beings worthy of having such pride.

However, Blea, the superior being of fire, appeared in the past and now, too, and immediately started spitting out human language.

It was as if Blea was the spirit with the most open mind, but that was absolutely not the case.

Rather, of the higher spirits he had a contract with, the one who was the most friendly to humans was Meltz.

Despite his huge size and fierce appearance, he had a gentle and docile personality.

On the other hand, Blea looked down on almost all humans except Oh Hyeonseong.

But even so, the reason for speaking human language was simple.

“That personality is still the same.”

Her temperament was too hasty for her to speak the language of another race because of her pride.

I can’t stand the frustration of keeping my mouth shut.

“Why did you call me now? I thought you were bored to death.”

“I thought you were dead.”

“I almost died. At the time, I thought it was completely destroyed. Fortunately, it was rebuilt like this.”

“I heard it from Albert. But I also had my own circumstances.”

Crap!

At that moment, a cold wind blew from a corner of the yard.

The appearance of an otter, driving away the stuffy air.

At some point, Albert appeared.

“Huh, that unlucky face is still the same.”

“…”

Albert didn’t even respond.

He just shook his head with a pitiful look in his eyes.

As a guy, he couldn’t understand Blea, who was a superior being, but who spoke a language of another race in a vulgar way.

At the appearance of the two superior spirits, the lower spirits of fire and water also joined each other’s superior spirits.

A scene that looked as if a fight was about to break out.

However, the spirits of other attributes were just watching comfortably among them, and Oh Hyeonseong was the same.

The two had been bickering often before, but they never hit each other.

The other lower spirits did not want to fight, but rather went to the yard that was divided into two, one hot and one cold.

Just looking at the way they are groaning, it seems like they are far from fighting.

‘Of course, it was hard to coordinate those two at first… but there’s nothing to worry about now.’

Blea and Albert,

Just like Oh Hyeon-seong, they were comrades who had fought together in countless battles.

These were conflicting spirits who would normally not get along, but thanks to one contractor with conflicting attribute affinities, this happened.

“…”

However, there was one spirit that could not adapt to that atmosphere.

Alyssa looks back and forth between the two powerful higher spirits with an anxious look.

At that moment, Blea’s head suddenly turned and she approached Alyssa.

Alyssa flinched and took a step back, but Blea ignored her and continued to examine her here and there.

“He’s a strange guy, huh?”

“Hey, new family member. Get along well.”

“Bringing in another spirit, and one with a different attribute. What a philandering contractor.”

“I somehow developed a new attribute affinity.”

“Definitely, this is the first time I’ve seen a guy like this.”

In the first place, there was no need to interact with spirits of different attributes in the spirit world, but the spirit of light was something she had never heard of before.

The spirit world is so vast and vast that unfamiliar spirits often appear, but even taking that into account, there was a strong feeling of something being out of place.

Compared to the power that still felt much smaller, the status of the existence itself felt high enough to be almost equal to their own.

“Hmm… This guy, what’s his family tree like?”

“…”

The moment Alyssa was sweating under her burdensome gaze.

Oh Hyun-seong came between them.

“Stop bothering him. There’s still something we need to talk about, right? About the contract.”

“Did you want to change the terms of the contract?”

“No. I almost drove you to your deaths. Do you still intend to continue the contract?”

Not only Blea, but all higher-level spirits were beings who lived forever in their own world, the Spirit Realm.

But all of his spirits, including her, were almost destroyed.

Fortunately, he was unharmed, but the damage was so severe that the spirit above had to rebuild his body.

If it weren’t for their contract with themselves, they wouldn’t have been in such danger.

“I still don’t know the mind of the spirit.”

But Blea clicked her tongue and said,

“From the moment you answer the call, the contract is effectively established.”

It wasn’t worth responding to the calls of other beings.

Because it would only take time and hassle to manifest into another dimension for someone who wasn’t interested.

At her firm will, Oh Hyeon-seong slowly nodded and held out his hand.

“Please take care of me this time too.”

“Of course, my soulmate.”

Bella, who was laughing bashfully, wrapped herself around him.

It was the moment when their souls became one again.

****

“… Huh!”

Yun Seol-ha opened her eyes wide and raised her upper body.

She vividly recalled the memory of being attacked by Amir, and hurriedly looked around, but instead of seeing an unfamiliar ceiling, she was in a familiar room.

“Don’t worry. I wasn’t dragged here.”

“Seo…senior.”

Yoon Seol-ha said as she saw Oh Hyeon-seong sitting next to her.

A sigh of relief escaped me, but at the same time, I was also overcome with anxiety.

“if…”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I haven’t had any accidents.”

“Really?”

“It was dangerous, but I managed to calm it down.”

“How many days have I been down there?”

“It hasn’t been that long. Not even two days.”

Yun Seol-ha didn’t say anything and just swept her face once.

At the moment when Oh Hyeon-seong was wondering why she seemed to be agitated, Yoon Seol-ha suddenly ran over and knocked him down.

And then he took off half of Oh Hyeon-seong’s top.

Oh Hyun-seong’s eyes widened in surprise at her unexpected behavior.

“What, what is it? Why are you suddenly like that?”

“… also.”

Yun Seol-ha stared intently at Oh Hyeon-seong’s exposed abdomen.

A long scar ran across his well-trained, solid muscles.

For a high-ranking hunter with much greater resilience than an ordinary person, the presence of a scar means that it was a place where a truly deep wound was left.

“You, did you remember?”

“… yes.”

She nodded, stepping back.

What happened after being completely consumed by psychosis.

As Amir’s mind was being torn apart by his mind interference abilities, memories he had not been able to remember began to surface.

It was a memory tinged with unpleasant noise, but at the same time it was vivid as if it had happened yesterday.

The countless emotions that surge when consumed by madness.

In addition, when he stabbed Oh Hyeon-seong, who was blocking him, the feeling of the sword being thrust deep into his body was so vivid that it still lingered in his mind.

“I… am really sorry.”

“Don’t worry about it. It wasn’t a big deal to me, just an injury like that.”

Oh Hyun-seong said it as if it was nothing special.

It stung a little, but if I was going to die from that wound, I would have died ten times over and been buried in the ground long ago.

“Moreover, did all the memories from after that come back to you as well?”

Oh Hyun-seong asked.

All the members of the team knew what had happened in China, but no one knew what happened to her after that.

If she had regained all her memories, we would be able to hear the story of how she, who was thought to be dead, came back and how she ended up getting involved with IAE.

But she shook her head.

“I was… dead, but I don’t know how I ended up back here.”

She said, looking down at her hands.

The final moment of death is vivid.

The sensation of life fading away was so alien that it was almost too creepy to be considered a simple illusion.

She could clearly feel the difference, as she had been on the brink of death several times in the field.

Anyway, she had no memory of what happened after that.

I only vaguely remember the final scene where the meeting took place.

“Well, that’s okay. Whatever happened, you came back eventually.”

“…Is that so?”

Yoon Seol-ha felt somewhat awkward about Oh Hyeon-seong’s words.

During their time as special agents, even if they returned safely from the field and achieved good results, they were not satisfied with that.

In order to survive in the countless fields where I will be deployed in the future, I had to constantly review and perfect myself.

I was obsessed with understanding and coping with everything on the scene.

But there was no need for that now, and what mattered to them was the future.

Above all, they had some fairly positive results.

****

“I don’t like the idea of ​​letting a woman into the house.”

A magnificent red fox appeared, its tail wagging.

The guy came in between Oh Hyeon-seong and Yoon Seol-ha, who were sitting next to each other, and took his place.

Then she wrapped her fluffy tail around Oh Hyeon-seong’s arm.

“It’s been a while, Blea.”

“Can you stop pretending to be friendly?”

Blea snorted in response.

And then there’s the guy who rubs his cheek against Oh Hyun-seong’s thigh.

It was an attitude that could have been annoying, but Yun Seol-ha just smiled as if she was used to it.

“Sorry, the spirits don’t grow old as time passes.”

“No, it’s good because it feels like going back to the old days.”

Yun Seol-ha secretly touches Blair’s fluffy fur.

But when he got hit on the tail, he quickly pulled his hand away.

In fact, if a human had spoken first, there would have been no response in the original situation.

Since we had been living together as a family for a long time, we could accept this level of treatment.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s so vivid, so foreign it feels.”

Considering that he had barely escaped the crisis of running wild, his physical condition was very good.

It’s so normal that it makes you wonder if it’s possible to be this normal.

This was true not only physically but also mentally.

Several days passed after she woke up.

In the meantime, her condition has stabilized considerably, and this is thanks to Alyssa’s abilities.

There were a few times when her condition worsened somewhat, but it was constantly calmed by Alyssa’s light.

It was a great strength to her, who had to fight alone against her ever-decreasing mental state.

You can’t help but feel much more relaxed, not having to suffer from seizures that push you to your limits both physically and mentally.

“That’s good. I had to go to Seoul for a bit anyway.”

“Suddenly you’re in Seoul?”

Oh Hyeon-seong nodded at her words.

Then he lifted the ring on his hand.

This is not an ordinary ring, but a national treasure of enormous value.

“I need to get back something I left behind a while ago.”

Of course, it’s nothing compared to what he’s looking for now.
