Episode 215
Quaduk-
This eerie sound was the sound of Gil-dong, who had run away and returned, being bitten by Tam.
“… … “Aaaah!”
-Krrulak!
“tongue… … Brother! “Why does he bite whenever he sees me?”
Gildong is in pain.
Tam bites Gil-dong’s arm and doesn’t let go.
While Jinhyeok burst out in laughter at the sight of the two people making a scene together, Gildong was sweating profusely and trying to shake off Tam.
“I guess I don’t like you.”
“… … Where on earth can something like that be found? “What did I do wrong?”
“Put your hand on your heart and speak.”
“… … “I am proud!”
“Tom, ask more.”
“… … “Aaaah!”
A man without conscience.
After punishing(?) Gildong, who was spouting lies without even putting saliva on his lips.
Jinhyeok looked at Woohee, who was looking at the back of Gildong running away, saying, “Step, save me.”
“When the time to meet is decided, please contact Gil-dong. Until then, you will be spending your time no different from before.”
“Thank you for always helping Yuldo Country.”
The confrontation with Hye-rin that Woo-hee mentioned(?).
Although it was a sudden confrontation, Jinhyeok had no intention of breaking it once he realized that it would be helpful to him.
A magic that manipulates the soul.
It was like an unavoidable trap for Jinhyeok, the spirit master and wielder of spirits.
A trap that cannot be tolerated without being caught once.
“Okay, what you say must be true.”
“I’m not sure if it will help, but it’s definitely a magic trick that uses spirits, so don’t worry.”
“… … Tsk, I stop by often. “The tea tastes good.”
“It’s also excellent for recovering from fatigue. “If you and Gil-dong stop by after a tiring day, I’ll give you a drink.”
Knock knock-
Jinhyeok got up from his seat and looked at Woohee, who was tapping her teacup and smiling brightly, and walked over, calling Tam over.
“Tam, let’s go.”
-… … Crack!
“Phew… … .”
Tam, who had been called by Jinhyuk, came back, and only then did Gildong sigh and follow Jinhyuk, rubbing his bitten arm.
“Let’s meet properly next time.”
“properly? “Yeah, sure.”
Jinhyuk tilted his head when Woohee said ‘properly’ as he was seeing him off, but eventually he nodded and left.
“Woohee! “I’ll be back soon!”
“Gil-dong, next time you come, please bring along the answers to the questions you avoided earlier.”
“… … “Maybe you’ll come a little late?”
“Gil-dong.”
“tongue… … Brother! together… … Let’s go together!”
The answer I couldn’t give before.
In response to Woohee’s question about whether his married life was worthy of the word ‘hardship’, Gildong followed after Jinhyeok, who hurriedly walked away.
Woohee, who was watching the two people moving away in an instant, smiled.
Tsutsutsutsu-
“Next time we meet, let’s meet in person. No, was it the main body just a moment ago? “Maybe it’s been true since the first time we met.”
Eventually, Woohee’s body, which was speaking incomprehensibly, turned into smoke and dispersed.
Any illusion is a magic trick that deceives the enemy, deceives oneself, and deceives the world.
Woohee clearly understood such illusions.
It didn’t take long for Woohee to disappear. * * *
Tsutsutsutsu-
“… … “She is such an unknown woman.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you don’t know, don’t do it.”
Jinhyuk stuck out his tongue as he watched the remaining smoke slowly dissipate from where Woohee was standing just moments ago.
Although he felt it was real, Jinhyuk was truly surprised to learn that the Woohee he encountered was an alter ego.
But that was only for a moment, when Gil-dong looked at him and asked, he just shook his head and walked away.
‘It’s an illusion – I’d like to learn it if I get the chance. Of course, the same applies to other martial arts such as wind and earth techniques.’
Feeling his desire for other martial arts rising once again, Jinhyeok quickly moved on. * * *
Wheeoooo-
dark night.
A cold and chilling wind blows at the graveside, where the only light is moonlight.
Plilly-
The sad sound of a flute resonates in the deserted graveside, and whitish spirits dance to the sound.
-Ah, as expected, the sound of the lady’s flute is the best!
-Eolssu!

To some, it was the sad sound of a flute, but to souls who had already died, it was like club music that would soothe their boredom.
That’s why when one side plays a sad flute and the other side dances happily to it.
“Hye-rin.”
At the sound of the voice of a woman who suddenly appeared, the sound of the flute stopped and the dancing movements of the spirits stopped.
That moment when I suddenly fell into silence.
-Oh, it was Woohee’s wife?
-Do you want to dance with me too?
-Mrs. Hyerin’s flute skills are excellent. Shall we hang out together?
The souls giggled at the familiar face and clung to her.
Jeon Woo-hee.
One of Kang Hye-rin’s few true friends who is like their master, friend, and granddaughter.
She appeared at the tomb where souls reside.
“… … “What’s your business?”
When Woohee appeared, Hyerin lifted her cherry-like lips from the flute and looked at Woohee with an emotionless face and asked.
“Why don’t you come down from the top of the monument. From my point of view, it’s a bit like that.”
“It’s my exclusive seat. And there’s no coffin down here, no body. “It’s just a tombstone that protects the graveside.”
“… … Yeah, feel free to do that. “I came because I have something to say.”
“What should I say?”
Hyerin tilted her head when Woohee said what she had to say.
“why? “Was it not enough to announce the news of your engagement to Gildong?”
“… … .”
Because those words were a painful memory for Hyerin.
Gil-dong and Woo-hee’s engagement news.
Even when she said that, Woohee said she had something to say, and Hyerin couldn’t forget the shock she felt at that time.
“sorry.”
“… … There’s no need for you to be sorry. It’s already been several months, and it was just Gildong’s choice. In addition, monogamy is the norm in Yuldo-guk, so it would be even more so. just… … “I guess I’m less attractive than you, Woohee.”
“Not at all. Hyerin, you are pretty too. Hair like ebony and eyes like obsidian. “How wonderful it is to look as if you are immersed in rainwater.”
“It’s okay to give a well-spoken compliment. “Just tell the main point briefly.”
Woohee smiled bitterly and nodded as Hyerin pouted her lips and responded bluntly.
“There is a guest at Yuldo-guk.”
“customer? Gil-dong received a guest, and it has been a while since something happened in Yuldo-guk, and he received another guest? He really… … .”
Gil-dong accepts the demon as a guest.
After that, there was only confusion, and even Hyerin, who had been expressionless because she knew that the entire Yuldo country was in chaos, became irritated for a moment.
However, Hyerin could not help but shake her head as Woohee continued.
“He’s like a benefactor to Gildong. You know that. “The one who kills the demons and drives out the demons who have recently established themselves at the entrance to Yuldo Kingdom.”
“… … Oh, that person?”
Gil-dong’s benefactor and the one who kills the demon ship and removes the demon energy created by the demon race.
“Cha Jinhyuk. “That’s his name.”
“Cha Jinhyuk… … Jinhyuk… … “That’s a pretty good name.”
Jinhyuk Cha.
When Woohee said that name, Hyerin mumbled Jinhyeok’s name with her small lips as if she didn’t want to forget it.
Hye-rin, who had been muttering Jin-hyeok’s name for a while, looked at Woo-hee smiling at her and smiled back.
“So why are you suddenly telling me about that person and his name?”
Not only did Hye-rin suddenly appear, but she couldn’t understand Woo-hee telling her about Jin-hyeok.
“Well, are you going to introduce that person to me?”
“… … oh?”
“… … what? Was it real?”
Hye-rin looked at Woo-hee with an expression of bewilderment when she saw Woo-hee being genuinely surprised by something she had just said once.
“Now that you have Gil-dong, are you telling me to meet another man and forget about Gil-dong?”
“That’s not the reason. “Please know that I just didn’t want to see you suffer.”
“… … I do not need. “Because the friendship we had built since childhood became love, and this situation was predicted when that love was abandoned.”
“Hye-rin… … .”
“Don’t pity me.”
“… … .”
Woohee flinched at Hyerin’s chilly voice, which had been chilly until now, but was not at all chilly.
‘You’re angry. Well, is that normal?’
Since Woohee has known Hyerin for a long time, he can understand Hyerin’s condition.
It was anger.
Anger at himself for introducing another man as if he were pitying him.
It wasn’t that strange that Hye-rin, the person involved, accepted it that way even though she didn’t have such feelings.
“That person is just like you.”
“why? “I heard you took a girl who was your childhood friend?”
Hyerin’s expressionless face fills with ridicule as she sarcastically describes herself and Woohee’s situation.
However, despite such sarcasm, Woohee calmly continued speaking.
These are words that Hye-rin, who, like Jin-hyeok, has always been alone, cannot help but show interest in.
“… … “He is a soul eater.”
“… … what?”
“Not a Taoist spell like you, but a type of magic. “I think it is an ability that has grown and evolved the abilities of corpse magicians to a higher level.”
“That can’t be possible. No, that doesn’t make sense. The reason I was able to learn the art of death, which can control the soul, is simply because my ancestor lived in this world. But you’re just using magic to control your soul?”
“That’s what he said himself, and Gil-dong is a witness.”
“… … .”
Kuuk-
The ability to manipulate spirits.
Although there were differences in that he was a magician and Jinhyeok was a magician, the framework itself did not change.
That’s why Hyerin clenched her fists and chewed her red lips.
I was always alone.
The person with the ability to manipulate spirits was alone, and was discriminated against by others because his magic was different from others.
Only name and honor remain in the family.
The only member was Hyerin.
‘… … The only people who stayed by my side were Woohee, Gildong, and no, Chihyeon.’
The only thing that made me forget the feeling of being left alone in the huge country of Yuldo was Chi-hyeon before they became Woo-hee and Gil-dong.
That’s why Hyerin didn’t want to lose the two people.
Actually, I liked Gil-dong, but I had no intention of getting married.
If that happened, I would have to lose Woohee in the end.
Hyerin didn’t want to lose even one of the two people who made sure she wasn’t alone.
‘But similar to me… … ‘There’s someone who looks almost perfectly similar?’
However, it wasn’t until I lost both of those people that someone appeared to fill the empty space of ‘alone’.
“… … “Okay, I’ll think about meeting you.”
“okay… … “Think about it carefully and contact me if you like it.”
“… … “It won’t take long.”
Woohee had to try very hard not to laugh at the sight of Hyerin, whose coolness from just moments ago had completely disappeared.
‘I will contact you within a few days.’
Woohee knew very well that those words were Hyerin’s last remaining line of defense because he had seen them since he was young.
This is often said when you have already made up your mind but don’t want to answer right away.
A few days at most.
Woohee, who clearly pictured the image of Hye-rin, whom he said he would meet at least once, nodded and left the graveside.
“See you later.”
“Goodbye, I won’t see you off.”
“huh.”
Jumble-jump-
Unlike when she met Jinhyuk, the current Woohee was the original from beginning to end.
Not only did he not want to send an immolation against his friend.
“If it had been an alter ego, we wouldn’t have even talked to you.”
“okay. “I know that I will get caught quickly if I act like an alter ego in front of you.”
“… … .”
Surprisingly, Hye-rin, who was sitting on the largest tombstone by the tomb, was able to see right through Woo-hee’s alter ego.
Hye-rin, who was watching Woo-hee’s back as she walked away laughing, picked up the flute again and brought it to her mouth.
[First Seungcha Lee says that since a new relationship has appeared, why not scrap the plan?]
A message window appeared in front of Hyerin.
The first Seungcha driver.
It belonged to Kanglim Doryeong, Hyerin’s ancestor and one of the three pillars of Yuldo-guk.
It was a message sent by her ancestors, but Woohee remained calm.
“My thoughts have not changed. “Meeting him, as Woohee said, was just entertainment.”
[The first Seungchasa Lee asks if he wants to meet.]
“… … “I’m still thinking about it.”
[The first Seungcha Lee says he supports your idea.]
[The first Seungcha Lee says he prefers daughters to sons.]
“you… … Isn’t that too fast? ah… … No, I told you I was still thinking about it!”
Woohee’s pale face turned red and she waved her hands as she heard Kanglim talk about plans for not only marriage but also children with someone she had never met before.
[The first driver, Lee Seung-cha, smiles joyfully.]
[I hope that the first driver, Lee Seung-cha, pulls out of the plan.]
“That’s Okay. As I just said, my thoughts haven’t changed. “I don’t need Yuldo-guk, which alienated me and reduced my family to the level of a tomb keeper.”
But even for a moment.
When Master Kangrim spoke about the plan, Hye-rin flatly rejected it in the cold voice she had shown earlier.
The message window did not appear again after the bittersweet message.
[The first Seungchasa Lee says that if you want, he will understand even if it means the destruction of Yuldo Kingdom.]
The fall of Yuldo Kingdom.
Hyerin looked at the spot where the message window had disappeared after uttering the most terrifying words, and then looked at the dark night sky with the full moon shining brightly and put blood to her mouth.
Plilly-
The sad sound of the flute rang out again, and the spirits began to dance once again.
