Chapter 253
Chapter 253
Except for Speranza, everyone in the room focused on the Cheese cat.
He rolled his jewel-like eyes as if thinking of something.
As everyone held their breath and waited, a languid voice came out of the cheese cat's mouth.
"I'm not sure about that nyaaa.
"Youre not sure?"
I'm sure I felt a strange energy, but I don't know if that was related to large hair bundles nyaa.
"Then do you know anything more about that strange guy?
"I didn't think much of it back then, so I don't remember much nyaaa.
"Um."
I thought I could find a decisive clue, but the cheese cat gave an ambiguous answer that could not be confirmed.
Others also looked similarly disappointed.
"Sihyeon, is that guy with the strange energy the culprit?"
"I'm not sure about that yet, Lia."
"Maybe tomorrow, when Sihyeon meets the Yakums in person we may get to know everything."
To Ryans words, Diur, who was next to him, quickly replied.
"Lord Cardis, don't worry. I'll prepare everything for you to go see the Yakums as soon as possible tomorrow."
Is it because of Karshi, Diur's attitude toward me seemed much more polite than what it was at first.
-BANG!
"What are you talking about so long?"
The door of the room opened and a disheveled Kaneff walked in.
"Did you sleep until now?
"Yeah. Maybe it's because I rode in that fu*king carriage for a long time, my whole body is stiff Huh? What's that?"
Kaneff found the big cheese cat next to me and stared at it. And there was an unexpected reaction.
"What? Was he still alive?
"Huh? Boss, do you know the guardian deity?"
"Hmph! Guardian deity It's just a stray cat that gets fed in the mountains."
He snorted at the word guardian deity, summoned his chain, and threw the cheese cat away using them.
Swoosh!
"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The cheese cat landed on the floor with a very sleek body movement that did not match its huge body size. And it showed its hostility toward Kaneff by raising its hair and tail.
"Hey! What are you doing nyaa?"
There was quite a ferocious spirit, but Kaneff sat next to me, with no regard for those words.
"Why are you making a fuss at the place I'm resting? Don't let your hair fly here and go back to the mountain."
"You still havent changed nyaaa.
"Huh? Guardian deity? Do you know our boss?"
At my question, the cheese cat kept staring at Kaneff and nodded.
"Of course nyaaa. He once came to this village with his men nyaaa."
I understood that Kaneff visited this place when he was the leader of the Black Hawk group.
"Boss, wasn't this your first time here?
"A long time ago, I came here once. That's when I first met Lia.
?
Kaneff stopped talking with a bitter expression, leaving a strange lingering impression. When I looked at Lia, she also had a similar expression.
It was a heavy atmosphere to ask more questions.
I looked at Ryan just in case, but he shook his head slightly with a flustered expression. I thought maybe Ryan could not speak about that in detail here.
There was a moment of awkward silence in the room.
It was none other than the cute fox girl who broke the silence.
"Papa, Papa!
Speranza ran over and grabbed my arm.
"What's wrong, Sweetheart?"
"I'm hungry."
"Ah!"
When Speranza said she was hungry, I belatedly realized that my stomach also felt empty. All I ate when I arrived at the village was tea and some snacks.
Diur bowed his head in great embarrassment.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Cardis. There was some confusion because of the guardian deity who suddenly appeared. I'll go and ask everyone to bring your meal quickly."
Saying that, Diur rushed out.
Moments after Diur ran out of the room, we were served a meal in no time.
The prepared meal menu included grilled skewers with a strong charcoal smell and soup with various vegetables and meat.
The first soup I tasted had a strong taste and aroma of meat as soon as I put it in my mouth. It was much thicker than pork and rice soup which could be commonly tasted in Korea.
Even though I only ate a few spoons, the heat in the dish seemed to help me overcome the cold.
And other foods were also really delicious, but the best among them was grilled skewers.
The taste of the meat and vegetables that were grilled so appetizingly, and the juice and texture of the meat that filled my mouth were excellent.
In addition to that, we were able to enjoy the meal more deliciously thanks to the grilling of golden-yellow skewers according to the speed of our meals, instead of serving them all at once.
"Sihyeon, do you like the food?"
"Yes, it's really good."
"Most of the food here is only available here. When you can, enjoy it as much as you can.
As Ryan said, the food of the Dragon demon village was different from the food of other places in the Demon world.
Looking at the other side, Speranza also looked very bright. She was enjoying various foods with the help of Lia, who was next to her.
Originally, I had to take care of Speranza, but now I couldn't because of another being next to me.
"Here you go."
"Nyaaaa."
"Do you want more?"
-Nod.
Next to me was a giant cheese cat eating grilled skewers.
In addition
Meow! Meow!
-Meow meow!
Okay, I'll take care of you guys, too. Just wait a little bit.
The two small cats were also hungry and I had to move my hands very busily to fill their appetite.
At first, Lia and some Dragon demons tried to help, but these tricky [Karshi] refused everything unless it was the food I gave them.
They clung to me and pressed me with their soft cat's feet.
Inevitably, I had to leave Speranza to Lia and take care of the three cats.
"Look at that."
"Oh How can the guardian deities follow like that?
"Is that Lord Cardis? The rumor must have been true. Maybe he can even solve the problem of violent Yakums."
The Dragon demons whispered as they saw me taking care of Karshi.
They seemed quite shocked when the ones they considered sacred acted so friendly to me, whom they met for the first time.
According to Ryan, this has rarely happened in the history of the Dragon demon tribe.
That's how I ended up having a meal, overflowing with the attention of the Karshi and the Dragon demons. It was a little burdensome, but the food was so delicious that it was a satisfying meal.
After the meal, we had a little break, and then we were guided to the village's hot spring.
I managed to soothe Speranza who was complaining about wanting to go with me and left her with Lia.
"Lia, please.
"Don't worry, Sihyeon. I'll take good care of Speranza, so you enjoy the hot spring as much as you want."
The group got divided into men and women and headed in different paths. I took off my clothes in the changing room and immediately went to the hot spring.
"Wow"
As soon as I opened the door, a huge open-air hot spring with foggy steam unfolded in front of my eyes.
The hot spring was filled with large rocks that could not be felt artificial, and the densely grown trees created a natural fence around it.
Admiration flowed naturally on the scale of a huge hot spring that seemed to accommodate dozens of people.
There were only three people in this large hot spring, Kaneff, Ryan, and myself.
I wondered whether it was okay for us to use all this for ourselves while admiring the hot spring.
While I was admiring the sight of the hot spring, Kaneff soaked himself in the hot spring.
"Ah that hit the spot."
Kaneff's face had a rare expression of "satisfaction". At that sight, Ryan and I immediately headed to the hot spring.
For a while, my body shrank into the hot spring's heat, and as the pleasant warmth and languor came rushing, my body quickly warmed up.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Ryan also exhaled pleasantly and enjoyed the warm energy. Seeing the appearance of demons enjoying the hot spring, it felt like they were not much different from humans.
I leaned my head against a flat rock, enjoying the comfort of my rising body temperature.
Naturally, my eyes turned to the sky. And once again, admiration flowed out of the beautiful scenery reflected in my eyes.
"Wow"
Before I knew it, the darkened sky was filled with small stars like sands.
The feeling of soaking in the hot spring water, feeling the cool breeze of the snow mountain, and watching the stars in the sky to my heart's content It all gave me a sense of pride and satisfaction that was really hard to express in words.
If I solve the problem of Dragon demon village well this time, maybe I should bring my mother next time.
At the village of the Dragon demon tribe, our second day dawned.
After a simple breakfast, Diur came to us immediately.
"Did you have a good night's rest, Lord Cardis? Was there any inconvenience?"
"Thanks to your care, I had a very comfortable sleep. The food was really good.
"Thank you."
Diur opened his mouth with difficulty, looking slightly around.
"It's still early in the morning, but were ready to guide Lord Cardis to the Yakums. If you don't mind, can we leave right now?"
"I was going to tell you first. I'll be ready to go out in a minute.
"Thank you, Lord Cardis. Then, I'll be waiting outside."
Diur rejoiced when I readily said I would go.
"Do you want to come with me, boss?
"Why should I go there? I'll sleep more in the room. Have a safe trip with those guys."
"Then let's just go, Sihyeon. I guess it's you and me."
Kaneff rigidly refused my offer and entered the room. Worrying that there might be an emergency situation, we decided to leave Speranza with Lia.
Ryan and I quickly finished preparing and went out of the accommodation. Diur and the fully armed Dragon demons waited for us on the outside.
"Well then. Lets start moving."
