I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 278:

Dog and Wolf (3)

“Hmm. “Is this okay?”

Ha-eun, wearing black cat ears and a tail, approached Oh-jin.

Ohjin swallowed dryly at the jewelry(?) that matched his usual cat-like appearance.

“How about it? Are you okay?”

Ha-eun appears to be quite embarrassed as she strikes a pose with her cheeks turning red.

The sight of a cat with its butt sticking out and its tail wagging touched Ohjin’s heartstrings.

Oh Jin expressed his honest feelings.

“I don’t think it’s something I should do when I’m over 30… Wow!”

Ha-eun’s fist, swung at blinding speed, hit Oh-jin’s solar plexus.

“I didn’t write it because I wanted to, too?!”

Ha-eun got angry and glared fiercely at Oh-jin.

After becoming lovers with Oh Jin, she became quite bold in her expressions of affection, but she also had no tolerance for such manic play.

“But it’s made much more elaborately than I thought. “If you pour in magic power, you can give it movement little by little.”

Isabella, wearing brown dog ears and a tail, waggled her tail like a puppy welcoming its owner back home.

Every time I see her like that, I think of the crying sound that was whispered in my ear and my cheeks get hot for no reason.

‘I’ll take a few with me later.’

With a firm resolve in mind, I looked back at Isabella.

“Anyway, is it okay if I don’t make it really black?”

“yes. “If classes are divided based on fur color, I think it would be necessary to camouflage them with brown maned tribes that are similar to the commoner class.”

but.

Just as rich people do not understand the lives of ordinary people, being of a high class does not necessarily mean that you can know a lot.

“And isn’t brown a little cuter?”

Isabella smiled and leaned closer.

As Isabella is a savvy person, she must have learned how to handle the model by now, as she perked up her ears and wagged her tail as if she were a real beast.

The fluffy dog’s tail tickled Ojin’s thigh.

Huh.

Ojin cleared his throat and looked away from Isabella.

A sound of laughter was heard from next to me.

“Vega…”

[…There is no size that fits the main woman.]

Vega pouted her lips with a sullen expression.

Of course, there was no model that Vega, which was only the size of a palm, could use.

Even if I could use it, I wouldn’t be able to claim it since I’m a beastman.

“Then Vega is hiding in my inner pocket.”

[Is that okay?]

“If you feel frustrated, you can go back to the sanctuary for a while.”

[Keuhum! How could the woman leave her child and go back alone?]

Vega quickly slipped into Ohjin’s jacket pocket and hid himself.

With only her face exposed, she looked around with her eyes sparkling as if she was quite satisfied with the ride(?).

“Riak…”

Ojin frowned as he looked at Riak, who had changed back into his wolf form.

In the first place, Riak, a beastman, did not need any special makeup.

The problem was the brilliantly shining silver hair.

“What do you want to do? Are you just going to keep going?”

“….”

Riak, who had been contemplating with his mouth firmly shut, shook his head.

“No, if possible, I would dye my hair.”

“I have dyeing materials.”

Baek Moo-gang rustled through the closet again and brought out black hair dye.

“You can’t change your body shape.”

From what I heard from Riak, the beastmen can change their bodies into three forms.

One is in the form of a beast like Riak, the other is in the form of a human with only ears and a tail, and the last one is in the form of a half-human and half-animal like a werewolf.

Among them, the form that consumes the most stamina is half-human, half-animal.

It is said that it is mainly used only in battle because it can gain explosive power in an instant.

It is said that they usually take the form of beasts or humans, but since it is convenient in many ways to be in human form, most of them take on human form.

“The beast people. If you change your body, your hair will grow back. “The dye is gone.”

“Know.”

Riak nodded as if it was a well-known fact.

Perhaps because we live in a society where classes are divided based on fur color, it seems that people have often changed their color through dyeing since ancient times.

‘Then is it possible to become a noble, a commoner, or a commoner just by changing the color of one’s fur?’

It was a very sloppy looking system.

If you think about it, human society was not much different.

Why is there such a thing as Kapoor?

Wasn’t it to make one’s social status appear high by driving an expensive foreign car that doesn’t fit the budget?

Of course, dyeing one’s fur was much easier than driving a foreign car, but there was a risk of being caught that easily.

‘If you ask me to change my appearance once, that’s it.’

anyway.

It would be better to dye your hair than to walk around with silver fur.

“I’ll help you dye your hair. “I’m good.”

Baekmu-gang, who dissolved black dye in water, approached Riak.

Then he suddenly tilted the container filled with dye as if he was about to pour it in.

Isabella managed to grab Baekmu-gang’s arm just before the dye poured down on Riak’s head like a waterfall.

“Now wait a minute!”

“yes? “Why are you saying this?”

“I will do it myself.”

Isabella smiled awkwardly and took the dye container from Baek Mu-gang’s hand.

“I’m good at it…”

Baek Mu-gang muttered with a sullen expression.

“Go outside, Mr. Riak. Let me help you.”

“…Please, leech woman.”

“Don’t call me a leech.”

“Then can I call you an earthworm?”

“Oh, should I leave it to Baek Moo-gang again? “You seem confident.”

“Hmm. “Let’s get out quickly.”

Riak quickly turned around and went outside, probably because he didn’t want to get covered in dye.

Isabella followed Riak outside.

Oh Jin approached Baek Moo-gang, who was looking at the door with a sad expression.

“Elder.”

“huh?”

“Could you please help me meet Horus?”

At first, I was embarrassed because it was so different from what I had imagined.

When we actually talked, it turned out that Baek Moo-gang had quite a thorough knowledge of the ecology of the Demonic Land.

If Baekmugang cooperates, it will be much easier to contact the King of Demonic World.

“no.”

The answer that came back was a sharp rejection.

Baek Moo-gang shook his head resolutely with an innocent smile.

“I have to go find the treasure.”

How great of an object is it that Baek Moo-gang is so tied up in it?

“What treasure are you looking for?”

“A treasure is a treasure.”

It was the same answer as before.

“It’s precious, so you must find it.”

Baek Mu-gang smiled brightly like a child.

“Do you have any clues?”

“A bad guy stole the treasure. We have to find the bad guy.”

“…If he’s a bad guy.”

“A bad guy is a bad guy.”

The conversation didn’t go well.

Anyway, there is one thing I found out through the short conversation.

Someone stole Baek Moo-gang’s treasure, and Baek Moo-gang is chasing after him.

In this faraway land of magic.

For a long time of 5 years.

alone.

“….”

I was curious about the identity of the treasure, but looking at Baekmugang’s condition, it seemed difficult to get a proper answer.

“Then thank you, old man.”

It’s a shame that we couldn’t get Baek Moo-gang’s cooperation.

Thanks to this, I was able to obtain a lot of information about the ‘Khan’ kingdom.

After this, it would be quicker to find out on your own.

“hmm? “Are you leaving already?”

“yes. “There was a long delay as we left the forest.”

“lol. “It was nice to meet you.”

Baek Mu-gang held out his hand with a simple smile.

Oh Jin held his wrinkled hands together.

Even though his hands were as thin as a skeleton, I could feel some strength in them.

“Are you going to look for that treasure?”

Ha-eun, who was next to me, asked.

“huh! “I’m going on a treasure hunt!”

“…I hope I can find it.”

Did I feel something about his smile that was as bright as the twinkling stars?

Ha-eun cheered him on with a sincere voice.

“thank you! “I’ll definitely find it!”

Baek Mu-gang clenched his fists.

“Oh, you really have a compass, right?”

“Oh yeah.”

“If you follow that, you can find me. “If you have anything else to ask, come see me.”

“All right.”

Oh Jin exchanged a brief greeting with Baek Moo-gang and came out.

Outside, there was Riak, whose fur was dyed black.

“Isn’t that strange person going with you?”

“He said he had something else to do.”

Ojin looked back at Riak and asked.

“Anyway, how far does it take to get to Khan Kingdom from here?”

“You can go in half a day. “Follow me.”

Riak turned and walked forward.

Ojin and his party followed behind Riak.

“What exactly is the treasure that installments are looking for?”

“well?”

“Hmm.”

Ha-eun narrowed her eyes and tilted her head as if she had no idea.

“Anyway, it’s a bit shocking. It was so different from the image I had imagined…”

Who would have imagined that Cheon Gwon-seong and Baek Moo-gang would be an old man with dementia?

[I understand why Deneb was reluctant to talk. That child tends to be overly concerned about what others think.]

Vega clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“No matter what, isn’t this too much for an apostle? “Paying in installments is not a crime.”

[Even if you don’t say anything, you will be helping me in many ways. Didn’t you send Allen on an errand to the Demon Lord?]

Of course.

If Baek Moo-gang was thought of as a child who had been discarded from the family register, there was no need to have Allen send the necessary items to Magyeong.

“Anyway, that kid also has a strange personality. “If you’re going to help me anyway, I’ll help you a little more.”

Ha-eun frowned and said, as if she felt sorry for Baek Moo-gang, who lived alone in Magyeong and wandered around looking for treasure for several years.

Oh Jin smiled and lightly patted Ha Eun on the back.

“Anyway, let’s just focus on our work for now.”

“Oh yeah. “That’s how it should be.”

Ojin and his party followed behind Riak and entered the dense forest again.

Even though it was a forest, it wasn’t attacked by all kinds of demonic beasts like when I went through the ‘Forest of the Demon Sea’.

Rather, I should say that it is so quiet that I feel a sense of tension.

Ojin activated the stigmata of Canis the Hound and slowly moved forward, looking around.

As I was passing through the forest little by little.

“Oppaaaaa!”

A tearing scream rang out.

The fishy smell of blood tickled my nose.

“….”

“….”

Ojin and the others exchanged glances in silence.

Regardless of who should go first, I kicked my feet in the direction from where the screams were coming from.
