I’m not a Regressor

I am not a regressor Episode 272:

Greed and Love (4)

The hospital room was so spacious and comfortable that it could be considered a hotel room.

With a pleasant crunching sound, the beautifully cut apple peel fell into the bowl, twisting its body like a dragon.

“Please eat here.”

“Oh yeah. thank you.”

Apples cut into perfectly identical sizes, as if cut by a sophisticated machine.

Oh Jin took an apple from the bowl and took a bite with his fork.

The sweet juice exploded in my mouth.

“So… you’re thinking of going to the Demon Lord?”

Allen, who heard about the suspicious movements of the demonic kings from Ojin, asked with sharp eyes.

“yes. “We can’t watch and wash our hands until they come rushing in.”

“Then… do you plan on leading an army?”

“no. “The first thing to do is to gather information.”

We don’t even know how many kings there are in the Demon World.

You can’t go to war blindfolded.

Right now, the priority was to gather information about the unknown land called Demon World.

“Mr. Allen, you said you’ve been to the magic world, right?”

“yes. “I went to see Elder Cheon Gwon-seong a few times.”

“If you are an elder Cheon Kwon-seong….”

Cheon Kwon-seong Baek Mu-gang.

He was the highest-ranking awakened among the 12 apostles of Deneb and one of the very few awakened who lived in the Demon World rather than on Earth.

“You may be a bit eccentric, but you are a good person.”

The corner of Allen’s mouth, which had been drawing a straight line bluntly as if he was thinking of Cheon Kwon-seong, slowly turned up.

“Then I guess Mr. Allen is also quite knowledgeable about the Demon Lord?”

“I only know what I heard briefly. “Most of them came back immediately after giving necessary items to the elderly.”

They probably don’t know as much as the awakened people who are living on their own.

Ojin looked at Allen with shining eyes.

“Can you tell me what those words were?”

“Hmm… Come to think of it, you often said that.”

Allen’s eyes narrowed.

“Whether you live here or there, everything is the same.”

“It’s the same…”

“Did you see the city they made when you were trapped in the demon world?”

“Oh yeah. “I saw it.”

“The elder said that there are a number of such cities connected to form one kingdom.”

It’s a kingdom.

And then I saw that there was a building that looked like a ‘castle’ in the city that Ojin discovered.

“Probably near the first rift… that’s where the beast people’s kingdom is.”

Ojin’s eyes sparkled at the mention of the beast people.

‘Now that I think about it, I heard that Riak is from the beast people.’

You could tell just by looking at Riak, but the beastmen are said to have superior intelligence, unlike ordinary magical beasts.

It must have been thanks to that outstanding intelligence that we were able to create a huge collective society called a nation.

“Could you please tell me where Elder Cheon Kwon-seong is?”

“Sure.”

Allen nodded willingly.

The news that the kings of the Demonic World were on the move was not something he could ignore, even from his position as a member of the Chilseong clan.

However, it is a situation where priority must be given to dealing with the named demon beasts that have started rampaging around the world rather than the enemies who cannot know when they will attack.

In such a situation, it was good news for him that Oh Jin was investigating Ma Kyung’s condition.

“If you visit the elder, you will be able to hear a much more detailed story than you do now.”

Allen took out a compass from his pocket and held it out to Ojin.

“This?”

“If you enter the magic realm and channel your magic power, it will point in the direction where the elder is.”

It was a useful device in a demon world where communication equipment was not working.

Ojin nodded and accepted the compass.

“It doesn’t feel good to entrust this kind of work to a patient.”

“Well, I also have no intention of going to the Demonic Palace before my body fully heals.”

“haha. “If you had tried to do that, I would have forced you to do it.”

Allen slightly bowed his head and stood up.

“Then I’ll wait for good news. “Please take care of yourself.”

After saying a brief greeting, he turned around and walked out of the hospital.

Alone in the hospital room.

I narrowed my eyes as I gently grabbed the compass that Allen had given me.

‘For now, the plan has been roughly decided.’

The first thing to do is to find Cheon Kwon-seong in the Magyeong and get a detailed explanation of the Magyeong from him.

You will have to think about the relationship between the ‘Kings’ and the Heavenly Demon and how to stop them at that time.

“…Cheonma.”

I say that ominous-sounding name.

Why did you destroy the world in your past life?

Why did we return to the past in a world that had turned into a handful of ashes?

It was not difficult to imagine the purpose of the Heavenly Demon.

“Because you are me.”

There will be only one purpose.

Both in the past life and in the present life.

“….”

Ojin looked out the window with bitter eyes.

I had a strong urge to meet Ha-eun right now.

As I lay there blankly thinking about Ha-eun, another woman suddenly appeared in my thoughts.

Isabella was shaking with a frightened expression.

When I thought of her, I felt a dark cloud, like a dark cloud.

‘I’m crazy.’

Wasn’t he supposed to capture his feelings for her?

Oh Jin sighed and wiped his face.

The complex, tangled emotions were not easily sorted out.

“As expected… it’s become too much.”

At first, I thought it wouldn’t matter as long as Ha-eun was there.

Even if the whole world burned and was crushed, I thought it would be okay as long as I could save Ha-eun.

but.

As time passes, the number of relationships you don’t want to miss increases.

There are more things I want to protect.

Even though he knows very well that this is an extremely foolish thought.

“Okay.”

Ojin got up from the bed.

I was worried about Isabella, who had kicked out the door and left me sleeping peacefully.

“We need to solve this problem first.”

The priority was to definitely sort out my relationship with Isabella before going to the devil’s palace.

Oh Jin stretched out his hand toward the smartphone placed on the shelf.

* * *

In a dark room.

A woman was curled up in a narrow room filled with strange heat.

Crack-crack-crack.

The eerie sound of nails being crushed.

The woman with a haggard face nervously bit her nails as if she didn’t care about the blood flowing from them.

“What should I do? “What should I do…”

Isabella crouched down and her shoulders trembled.

Failed.

I made a mistake.

I shouldn’t have been greedy, but I should have been satisfied with the second time.

In my greed to be first, I did something in vain and everything ended up being ruined.

“why…? Why? “You said before that you didn’t want to miss either of us.”

I thought that even if the plan failed, it would just go back to the way it was.

Is it the price of greed?

Oh Jin’s answer was different from before.

“haha!”

Breath rising to the tip of my chin.

Every time I thought of Oh Jin calmly saying, ‘Let’s sort out our feelings for each other,’ I felt a pain in my chest as if I was being stabbed with a knife.

“Oh, no.”

Let’s clear each other’s minds.

I can’t stay by Ohjin’s side forever.

That much.

No matter what happened, I couldn’t tolerate it.

You have to do something.

I could no longer imagine life without misdiagnosis.

Isabella chewed her lips and had tears in her eyes.

“Well, I have to do something… something.”

But what should I do?

What can I do to turn his mind back to myself?

Crack-crack-crack.

When I was biting my nails and continuing my thoughts.

“What are you doing in the warehouse room?”

Sweet.

The door opened and Ha-eun came in.

She looked at Isabella, who was curled up, and burst out in astonishment.

“hey! “What’s wrong with your nails?”

A scared Ha-eun approached Isabella.

“…Ha-eun unni.”

Isabella looked up at Ha-eun with trembling eyes.

Starlight appeared in her pupils, which were as dark as the night sky covered with dark clouds.

“Oh sister! sister! “Please do me a favor!”

“Aaaah! “What?!”

Isabella crawled across the floor to Ha-eun and grabbed her by the leg of her pants.

Isabella begged, clinging to Ha-eun’s feet.

“ask? “What request?”

“Oh, please stop Mr. Ojin!”

The reason Oh Jin told her to make up her mind was because he didn’t want Ha Eun to get hurt.

As long as Ha-eun approves of Isabella, he will turn his heart to her again.

“Do you want me to stop you? “Ojini, what did this kid do again?”

Could it be that he left for the devil alone?

Ha-eun held Isabella by the shoulders with an urgent look on her face.

“Oh Oh Jin…”

Isabella trailed off and avoided Ha-eun’s gaze.

He chewed his lip and spoke in a hushed voice.

“He said to me… that we should sort out our minds.”

“…what?”

“But it doesn’t mean you don’t have feelings for me! Oh yeah! aftereffect! “It’s because of the aftereffects!”

“What does that mean?”

Isabella continued speaking while pulling on Ha-eun’s pant legs.

“Before you lost your memory, you said you didn’t want to lose me either!”

okay.

All of this happened because he lost his memory.

“Oh, you would understand, right? Oh Jin, you said you lost your memory of dating your sister, right? “I’m the same way!”

It was clear that Oh Jin would accept him again if he could just recall the memories on the Ferris wheel.

At that time, I clearly said, ‘I don’t want to miss either of you.’

“….”

Ha-eun frowned and looked down at Isabella, who was holding on to the leg of her pants.

“So… Ojini dumped you?”

“That’s it!”

Isabella shook her head roughly.

“no!”

“I heard you said we should make up our minds with each other?”

“So… it’s because Mr. Ojin lost his memory!”

He clung to Ha-eun’s leg like a cicada and cried out as if pleading.

“Oh, sister, please go and talk to Oh Jin!”

“…What?”

“Please accept my heart! From now on, I will never be greedy for your place again! I won’t lie from now on! I’m satisfied with the second time! So…”

Isabella begs, shedding tears.

“I will do whatever you ask me to do… please.”

Drops of tears flowed down my cheeks.

Ha-eun looked down at Isabella, who was shedding tears with cold eyes.

“So, I just got dumped by Oh Jin, and you want me to tell you to go and get it?”

under.

Ha-eun laughed and frowned.

“Are you crazy?”

His cold gaze turned to Isabella.
