Chapter 27
A few minutes later, I once again entered Dongguk University Station and ate a ground rat . It was in order to heal the skin contaminated by the poisonous fog . It took a little time but the contamination could be recovered by eating the meat of an underground species .
[…Hey! Are you crazy? What did you do just now?] I was eating when I heard Bihyung's voice furiously berating me .
'Shut up . '
[No, this isn't an issue you can dismiss . You destroyed a constellation's idol! Do you want to see my channel fail? Once the 'Bald General of Justice' begins to talk…]
The idol of a constellation . Every world had their own constellations, South Korea as well . By the way, Bihyung said it was the 'Bald General of Justice . ' He was a great person in South Korea but…
Actually, I wasn't the type of person to say that .
[A constellation wearing a straw mat is furious at your atrocious actions . ]
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is laughing . ]
There was a difference in the degree of all idols, but they had the power of a constellation sealed in them . If I released the seal of the idol in the right way, I could gain a certain amount of power, such as an item or a skill that the constellation used in their lifetime . However, 'unlocking the seal' took a long time and I wasn't sure if I could get the skill I wanted .
I looked at Ways of Survival on my smartphone .
「 "But if it is sealed in the bronze statue of Samyeongdang, how did you get the skill?"
"There is a saying that if you meet Buddha, kill Buddha . "
"What? Don't tell me…"
"Haha, I was just trying it out… but it is true . All the statues aren't just for worship . "
"Hey! This jerk, you should watch your mouth . You might be cursed by the constellation . " 」
At the last gateway to enter Chungmuro, the 'skill' of Samyeongdang was essential and the most surefire way to get the skill was to destroy the idol . Of course, I could buy something similar from the Dokkaebi Bag but… the more coins I saved, the better .
"Then did you resolve the 'man's secret' well?"
I quickly turned off my smartphone screen . My companions, including Jung Heewon, had gathered .
"Yes . And I have something for you . "
I pulled out the items I gained from the idol . As luck would have it, the Samyeongdang idol contained items and skills .
[Samyeongdang's Beads]
[Samyeongdang's Straw Mat]
Rags and old beads . There were questions in the eyes of everyone present . I knew what they were thinking . However, I also knew this: In this world, 'old' was more likely to be 'good . '
"They seem like good items because they are souvenirs of a great person . "
"Great person?"
"Do you know Samyeongdang?"
[A constellation wearing a straw mat has paused at your actions . ]
Jung Heewon asked with a blank expression, "…Who is that?"
[A constellation wearing a straw mat wishes to appear before character 'Jung Heewon . ']
"Ah! I know!" Fortunately, someone knew . Needless to say, it was Yoo Sangah . "I remember seeing it when I was studying Korean history! Isn't he a monk from the Joseon Dynasty?"
"Yes, that's right . "
"When the Korean military was struggling to defend against the Japanese invasion…he fought in the Nowongpyeong battle and Wukwandong battle!"
As expected from Yoo Sangah . I also studied Korean history but I didn't know this .
[A constellation wearing a straw mat is touched by character 'Yoo Sangah . ']
I nodded and said, "Anyway, these items have his strength . "
"…Really?"
"Wow, it is real!"
Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung were surprised when they confirmed the item information .
"Still, how did Dokja-ssi know to get this?"
"Just, I put my hands together in front of the Samyeongdang statue and…they fell from the sky . "
"Huh? No way…"
I thought it was ridiculous but there was a reason people said such ridiculous words . I put on a mock solemn expression as I watched the party . "I think… it was sent by Samyeongdang for South Korea . "
"Ah…"
Their 'ah' were filled with many meanings . I ignored them and kept talking . It wasn't like I was asking for them to listen .
"He might've left his belongings to save the country, just like during the Japanese invasion of South Korea . Anyway, now South Korea is a country undergoing turmoil . "
[A constellation wearing a straw mat is moved by your words . ]
In times of turmoil, scammers always gained power .
"…In this strange world, it isn't weird if something like this happens . Maybe Samyeongdang is one of the 'constellations . ' Isn't that right?"
Surprisingly, Yoo Sangah was the first to be convinced . Maybe she didn't want me to be embarrassed . The funny thing was that once Yoo Sangah agreed, Lee Hyunsung was immediately convinced .
"Indeed, Samyeongdang…"
Lee Hyunsung grew up with patriotism for a long time and looked like he was reminiscing on the principle of military service . Lee Gilyoung also seemed convinced . It was only Jung Heewon who was staring at me like it was nonsense .
[A constellation wearing a straw mat likes your revealing words . ]
[The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' forgives your sins . ]
Bihyung looked at the sky with an 'Is this okay?' expression before looking dumbfounded . The power of a constellation was directly linked to their fame . Thus, the constellations loved it when their stories were spread this way . Where was a constellation that hated being praised?
"I will give Samyeongdang's Beads to Yoo Sangah since you know him well . "
"Really? Can I accept it?"
"I think Samyeongdang will be delighted if Yoo Sangah uses it . "
In fact, the performance of Samyeongdang's Beads wasn't good compared to what the sponsor used it for . It wasn't a sponsor's star relic so maybe the fact that Samyeongdang wasn't a world-recognized figure had an effect . It was still a B class item so it had a secondary option of boosting magic power to increase magic power recovery .
Jung Heewon watched Yoo Sangah like she was envious and said, "Yoo Sangah knows a lot of things . I didn't know about Samyeongdang because I didn't do very well at school . "
"Ah…that…that . "
"I'm joking, joking . Don't make such an expression . "
I spoke to the sulky Jung Heewon, "I also have something for Jung Heewon-ssi . "
"For me? Is it that straw mat?"
"Yes . "
"It's okay . No matter how urgent, I don't want to wear such a thing . "
"…Just try it . You won't regret it . "
Jung Heewon hesitated for a moment before throwing on the straw mat . She was trying to be fashionable but she just looked like a beggar .
[A constellation who likes comradeship condemns your actions . ]
[A constellation who praises friendship likes your actions . ]
It would be different if the star relic 'Samyeongdang's Bamboo Stick and Straw Sandals' came out, but the other two items weren't necessary for me right now . Jung Heewon saw her reflection on the screen door of the subway and made a slightly complicated expression .
"It is hard to explain but…I suddenly feel like I can harness the power of justice . "
Samyeongdang's Straw Mat was an item that enhances the justice and willpower of the wearer . I didn't need it but it was a pretty good item for Jung Heewon .
"You said Samyeongdang? I feel sorry for some reason . I should study harder . "
[The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' is happy at this situation . ]
[100 coins have been sponsored . ]
I jokingly said, "Then let's put our hands together and pray . "
* * *
It was a joke but Jung Heewon really went to pray .
Jung Heewon was contaminated by the poisonous fog and spoke while eating a ground rat . "By the way, who broke it? Surely it wasn't Dokja-ssi?"
"…"
"…Dokja-ssi?"
"Be prepared . We will be at Chungmuro soon . "
I looked at the dark tunnel . It had been 20 minutes since Lee Gilyoung used Diverse Communication, allowing us to safely move forward . Considering the fact that Dongguk University to Chungmuro was 1 km in a straight line, it was time for 'that' to appear .
[A new sub-scenario has arrived!]
Indeed, as soon as I thought about it .
