I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 277:

Dog and Wolf (2)

“I’ve never had so many guests.”

Baek Moo-gang looks around with his eyes shining brightly.

Ojin and his group froze and could not open their mouths at the sight of his appearance, which was so different from what they had expected.

Cheon Gwon-seong and Baek Moo-gang.

Who would expect that he, a member of the Seven Stars and proudly ranked first among the 12 apostles of Deneb, is an old man suffering from dementia?

“Nice to meet you, old man. “It’s called a misdiagnosis.”

Even a moment of hesitation.

Oh Jin smiled warmly as he casually held Baek Mu-gang’s snot-covered hand.

Hehe, Baek Moo-gang laughed innocently and innocently like a child.

“Call me Mugang.”

“…Are you talking about Mukan?”

“huh. That’s my real name. “It was built by Baekmugang Deneb.”

It’s a name given by Deneb herself.

Did they make the name ‘Baek Moo-gang’ be used instead of the somewhat old-fashioned name ‘Mu-gang’?

It was a Deneb-like thing to do, caring a lot about what others thought.

‘Then the reason Deneb was especially reluctant to talk about the Heavenly Authority…’

Was it because he was embarrassed to proudly introduce himself as his first apostle?

“huh? “Why are you saying this?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Seeing Baek Moo-gang raising the corners of his wrinkled mouth while smiling innocently like a child, I could understand Deneb’s feelings to some extent.

“Anyway, is it okay if you tell me your real name, as this is my first time meeting you?”

“huh? …ah! That’s right! Deneb told me not to say it!”

Baek Mu-gang is hesitating and sweating.

Oh Jin spoke in a gentle tone, as if comforting a crying child.

“I will not tell you about Baek Moo-gang’s real name.”

“Thank you.”

Baek Moo-gang’s eyes lit up as if he was moved.

“Ojin is a good person.”

“….”

How long has it been since I last heard that I was nice?

Oh Jin looked at Baek Moo-gang with a complex and subtle expression.

“Ojina… Is this okay?”

Ha-eun carefully came next to Oh-jin and whispered in his ear.

Oh Jin shook his head as if he didn’t know.

Because I never expected Baek Moo-gang to be in this state.

‘I wonder if this is the only way to get proper information.’

Still, I came this far and couldn’t go back empty-handed.

“Can I ask you a few questions about Demon Lord?”

“huh. are you okay. “Oh my goodness, I’ll let you know.”

Baek Mu-gang turned and entered the small hut.

Ohjin and his group, who had been watching in silence, took steps when they were told to come in.

The inside of the cabin was much neater than the outside.

Rather than feeling like it was well organized, it felt like it wasn’t used much in the first place.

“I’ll bring you something to drink.”

After sitting and waiting for a while, Baek Moo-gang brought out tea.

It was a pu-erh tea with warm steam rising from it.

“This is my grandmother’s favorite car back in the day.”

Baek Mu-gang puts down the car with a faint smile.

Oh Jin bowed and accepted the tea.

Slurp.

As I took a sip, the delicious scent spread into my nostrils.

Ohjin asked, putting down his teacup.

“How many years have you been living here, Baek Mu-gang?”

“hmm. 4 years? 5 years? sorry. “I don’t really remember.”

“Is there any other reason why you live in Magyeong?”

“To find treasure.”

treasure?

Are you saying that the reason he stopped all external activities and lived alone in the devil’s land was because of the treasure?

“What treasure is it?”

“huh? “A treasure is a treasure.”

“….”

Baek Mu-gang opens his eyes wide and looks at him as if he doesn’t know anything.

Oh Jin gave up asking further questions and changed the topic.

“Elder. Do you know about the ‘Kings of Demonic Sutra’?”

“Yes, I know.”

“How many demonic beasts called ‘kings’ are currently in the Demon World?”

“Demon beast?”

Baek Mu-gang tilted his head.

“They are not magic beasts. “The demon beasts are the kids in that forest.”

He continued, pointing to the forest in the Magic Sea that Ojin and his party had been escaping through over the past week.

“It’s the same here and on Earth.”

This is what I heard from Allen as well.

“The beast people, dragon people, and demon people live here. “There is also one king each.”

“So there are three kingdoms?”

“Um… please be different.”

Baek Moo-gang took a sip of his tea and shook his head.

“There are three kingdoms, but they are actually all demons.”

“…That’s what you said.”

“Reduce the number of demons. But strong. “I inherited the blood of the Heavenly Demon.”

Cheonma.

Ojin’s eyes narrowed.

“So, are you saying that there are three kingdoms, but the actual rulers are the demons?”

“huh. They say it was different in the past. But they say a big war broke out more than a hundred years ago.”

Crack!

The floor of the hut broke with a sudden noise.

All eyes focused on the direction where the noise was heard.

“Ah… I’m sorry. “I took a wrong step.”

Riak averted his gaze with a shy expression.

Although the wooden floor, which had been in good condition, was horribly destroyed, it was hard to say that I had “stepped wrongly.”

“are you okay. “I don’t use the house often anyway.”

Baek Mu-gang shook his head as if it was no big deal.

“no. Still, it’s our fault. “I’ll fix it later.”

“lol. After all, Ojin is a good person.”

“Then, if you ask the question, is the kingdom closest to here the kingdom of ‘Khan’?”

“huh. “It is the country of the beast people.”

It was just as I heard from Riak.

“I want to approach the king there.”

“There is no king there.”

“yes?”

Didn’t we say a little while ago that each kingdom had a king?

Oh Jin looked at Baek Mu-gang with his eyes slightly frowning, wondering if he was suffering from dementia.

“Instead, we have the king’s representative. “I am a wolf from the Black Mane tribe called Horus.”

“deputy? Then the king…”

“They say the king of the beastmen must inherit the name ‘Khan’.”

Baek Moo-gang continued his explanation with an innocent smile, like a child chattering about a story he had read in a fairy tale book.

“The previous ‘Khan’ disappeared in the war, and since then, there has been no prisoner who has inherited Khan’s name. So the king’s position is now vacant.”

The king’s seat is vacant.

Ojin frowned and touched his forehead.

“But the king’s position has been vacant for so long that everyone calls Horus king.”

“Is that so?”

If so, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Whether you are a king or a representative, what matters is whether you have some kind of connection with the Heavenly Demon.

“Then is there any way to approach the beastman named Horus?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Baek Moo-gang shakes his head.

Oh Jin swallowed his sleep and touched his forehead.

Now that things were like this, there was no other way than to infiltrate the kingdom directly and find out.

‘It won’t be easy.’

Although he could hide his presence behind the scenes, it was difficult to hide Ha-eun and Isabella.

“All you need is ears and a tail.”

“yes?”

Baek Moo-gang hit his head and buttocks with his hand.

Oh Jin looked at Baek Mu-gang with a surprised expression.

“Is that all you need?”

“huh. Beasts have rarely met humans. So I don’t know.”

but.

Since there are only a very small number of awakened people who settle down in the Demon World, it is natural that they do not know much about humans.

“Do I just need fake ears and a tail?”

Isabella, who was quietly listening to the story, asked.

“huh. I have a few too. “Would you like to borrow it?”

“Oh yeah. “Can you show me for a moment?”

“wait.”

Baek Mu-gang got up and approached the closet with his characteristic comical steps.

He was rustling through his luggage and came back with his arms full of fake ears and a tail.

It was a model ear and tail with furry fur that would be commonly used in cosplay.

“There are many different types.”

“There are a lot of beasts.”

Isabella looked at the ear and tail model with interest.

Among them, Isabella picked up a model of brown ears that were droopy like a dog’s ears and put the model on her head.

“How do you feel, Oh Jin? Does it suit you?”

Isabella looks back at Ojin with a smile.

Ojin had never been interested in these types of things before, but when he saw Isabella wearing dog ears, he felt his cheeks heating up for no reason.

“Hmm. Oh, it suits you.”

“Oh my goodness.”

Isabella approached Ojin with a bright smile.

Isabella gently leaned in and whispered in Ojin’s ear in a low voice.

“Woof woof.”

crazy.

Ojin opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened.

Isabella seemed to really like Ojin’s reaction and burst into laughter.

“These are salted in broad daylight.”

Ha-eun frowned and glared at Oh Jin and Isabella.

“You should try it too.”

“That’s it. “I’m not interested, that kind of thing.”

“Well, you have to use it to get to the kingdom anyway, right? “I think cat ears would suit you.”

Isabella, who was looking through the model, picked up black cat ears and placed them on Ha-eun’s head.

“damn. It’s embarrassing…”

Even as she said that, Ha-eun glanced at Oh-jin.

Her gently flushed cheeks felt even more lovely.

Oh Jin chuckled and looked towards the ear model.

“Then can I just choose any of these and use them?”

“I like black.”

“Black?”

“huh.”

Baek Moo-gang nodded and continued speaking.

“Currently, the Khan Kingdom’s Black Mane Tribe is the strongest.”

The Black Mane tribe.

‘Now that I think about it, you said Riak was from the Silver Mane tribe.’

Ojin picked up a silver ear model.

widely.

Baek Mu-gang grabbed his hand as he picked up the silver ear model.

Baek Mu-gang shook his head with a stern expression.

“No silver.”

“Is there any other reason?”

“The Silver Mane tribe is weak.”

Is there such a thing as a class among beasts based on fur color?

Ojin’s gaze turned to Riak.

Riak was silently looking at the silver ear model in Ojin’s hand.

“…Let’s make it black.”

Ojin picked up a black ear model.

“Even though you have ears and a tail, be careful of the smell. “Even if you don’t know the smell of humans, you’ll be caught if you’re close.”

“Yes, I understand.”

There was nothing to worry about in that regard.

It may have been difficult for Isabella and Ha-eun, but Oh Jin had a dark side that completely eliminated any traces.

‘But considering we’ll be walking around together, I think you’ll need something to cover up the smell as much as possible.’

That part can be made with Riak’s help.

Ha-eun, who was fiddling with the cat ears on her head, looked back at Baek Moo-gang and asked.

“But the fact that all you need is ears and a tail means that the beast people look almost no different from humans, right?”

Baek Moo-gang nodded in the affirmative.

“Then…”

Ha-eun’s gaze turned towards Riak.

Riak, a fellow beastman, usually has the appearance of a wolf, and even when he changes his appearance during battle, he only changes into the appearance of a werewolf, which is completely different from a human.

“ha.”

Riak let out a soft sigh.

“Basically, the beast people look like this the most.”

Crack.

With the eerie sound of bones, Riak’s body began to change.

Riak changed his body into a human form rather than a werewolf.

Soon, Riak transformed into a middle-aged man with a sturdy jawline, bronze skin, and strong muscles.

“uh…?”

Hwaeun looked at Riak with eyes as big as a flower lantern.

Riak, who had changed his body into human form, frowned.

“What.”

“No, what is it?”

Ha-eun cleared her throat and slightly turned her head.

“Cover yourself, man.”

“Ugh!”

Riak quickly turned around.

“Oh, I just made a mistake by returning to my human form after such a long time!”

Riak shouts in a panic and changes his body back into the wolf form.

Meanwhile, Ha-eun came up next to Oh-jin and tapped Oh-jin’s thigh.

Ha-eun smiled and raised the corners of her mouth and gave a thumbs up.

“You won?”

What can you win?
