Chapter 47

Two puppies

'Breath of the Avesta' hurriedly moved to the passenger seat. And sneakily covered its body with 'Bug Praise Theory'.

Seo I-hyeon seeing that slightly raised one eye.

"Look at this?"

An action suspicious no matter who looks.

No, just openly suspicious. And strange.

Thinking about it, 'Breath of the Avesta' sucked Seo I-hyeon's blood all night.

Because sucked while sleeping don't know exactly how much sucked. But much more than when usually entering the shadow while sleeping is certain.

Really mercilessly sucked continuously.

To perfectly purify the mucus connected with the building through mystery Seo I-hyeon's blood, half a paper cup entered.

'Breath of the Avesta' that boasts that degree of efficiency and performance.

Such 'Breath of the Avesta' sucked Seo I-hyeon's blood all night. At that degree what kind of work can one do?

Almost the same as giving the price in advance so when purifying earlier should have just used without price, right?

If not that where on earth was that much blood used?

Seo I-hyeon having such thoughts looked at 'Breath of the Avesta'.

Trying to hide somehow behind 'Bug Praise Theory', but the book size itself 'Breath of the Avesta' is a bit larger so no matter how trying to hide couldn't hide perfectly.

Well, even if could hide perfectly not particularly meaningful.

"When saying with good words, come forward."

At Seo I-hyeon's low yet firm tone 'Breath of the Avesta' hesitantly revealed its appearance. And slowly walked and stood right in front of Seo I-hyeon.

"Alright, now tell. My blood, how did you?"

The pages flipped.

Flutter. Flutter. Flutter.

Flipped from left to right then flipped from right to left again then flipped from left to right again.

Like that continuously only flipping.

Seo I-hyeon seeing that frowned.

'What is that doing now? Not wanting to talk?'

Briefly such thought arose, but soon disappeared. After contracting with the magic books, became able to know the magic books' intentions even a little. Now 'Breath of the Avesta' is not teasing Seo I-hyeon or refusing to talk.

Just unable to grasp the clue.

"Don't tell me you also don't know well?"

Flutter.

Rustle.

[Yes...]

From the writing somehow gloominess was felt. And also a bit of guilt.

Seo I-hyeon briefly looked down at such a magic book. And soon nodded.

"Good. If saying don't know it can't be helped. But continuously think. Somehow it seems one has to know."

Rustle.

[Yes!]

Seo I-hyeon chuckled then started the car.

Now time to go home.

After sleeping a bit then inform Lee Yeong-su that the request ended.

Suddenly briefly worried up to where to tell Lee Yeong-su the things that happened today.

One can leave only a request complete message without saying anything at all. And one can also say up to that the Management Bureau came there, and one can also say up to that after the Management Bureau returned strange guys came.

If saying up to the talk that the Management Bureau came again and fought those strange guys it's saying everything.

Worried a bit but the conclusion was clear.

Seo I-hyeon pressed the accelerator pedal hard.

Vroom.

Cutting the dark road the SUV Seo I-hyeon is riding quickly advanced forward.

* * *

Seo I-hyeon who returned home roughly washed then stuck an injection needle with tube on the forearm and slept right away.

Tried to put the two magic books into the shadow then just left. If this time again sucking blood really properly punish, or except when needed in the future always put into the shadow is enough.

Before sleeping placing the two magic books in front and saying that talk they trembled.

Did anomaly extermination in the pitch-dark night, and after that spent time watching the Management Bureau and strange guys then rode the car a fairly long distance and returned so the time arriving home was considerably late.

So sleeping soundly and waking it was a bit past 11 in the morning.

Seo I-hyeon raised his body from the bed and first confirmed the tube stuck in the shadow. And also gauged the amount of blood gathered in the shadow.

With just that one could know whether the magic books sucked blood in the middle or not.

Didn't touch.

Seo I-hyeon nodded then pulled the injection needle from the forearm and left the bed.

Then the two magic books that were under the blanket dropped outside the bed.

Didn't suck blood, but seems while sleeping were stuck tightly to Seo I-hyeon's body.

If entered the shadow and came out one would understand as doing that trying to fill presence, but now not even that why particularly trying to stick like this one doesn't know.

Seo I-hyeon shook his head repeatedly then went out to the living room.

The two magic books followed Seo I-hyeon tightly.

Seo I-hyeon without caring first washed. Also brushed teeth and showered then, roughly time to eat lunch became.

Still nothing at home so one has to go out and eat.

Trying to go outside the two magic books stuck.

Seo I-hyeon looking at the two magic books shook his head.

"No. You stay at home."

'Breath of the Avesta' stepped forward.

Rustle.

[If separated from the owner anxious.]

Seo I-hyeon at those words briefly closed his mouth. Why saying so pitifully.

But suddenly the content read while looking into magic books on the community during that time came to mind.

"Hey, you just wherever are can summon when needed, right? Other magic books seem to do so?"

So even leaving at home and going around if something happens one can summon right away and use, right?

Rustle.

[Not exactly so and many conditions are needed. And even if conditions match we can't.]

"Can't? To be able to do that how much higher does the rank have to be?"

Rustle.

[Not a rank problem. A soul binding problem.]

"Soul binding?"

[If becoming the owner of a grimoire part of the soul mixes. Through that one summons. But... we couldn't mix with the owner's soul.]

"Really? I see."

Seo I-hyeon accepted lightly. Hearing it, that was impossible.

Seo I-hyeon's soul is connected with the sea of mana. That is, saying Seo I-hyeon's soul is the sea of mana itself is not an exaggeration.

With such a soul how on earth would one mix. Nothing works. Even if a god impossible.

No way a mere magic book can do what even a god can't. So just accepted. This is originally so.

"Anyway just going to eat no thought of taking you. Just quietly guard the house."

Seo I-hyeon left those words and quickly went outside.

Also closed the door right away before the magic books follow.

Doing so and going to the nearby gukbap restaurant, the thought of should have worn a loose coat and put them inside and brought continuously arose.

Seo I-hyeon entered the gukbap restaurant and ordered then scratched the back of his head hard.

"Aish, really. Making one care."

This really the feeling of raising two puppies.

As soon as the gukbap came out ate like slurping.

Because seemed one has to go in quickly and see.

Trying to return home after eating, a call came. Well, nothing to confirm. The only person who would call Seo I-hyeon is Lee Yeong-su.

The phone Seo I-hyeon originally used is still stored in the shadow.

'Thinking about it gradually time to take out once.'

If leaving more like this probably will disappear.

Seo I-hyeon having such thoughts received the call. While doing so left the gukbap restaurant.

- Heard the request ended.

Seo I-hyeon flinched as if breath was snatched while fighting.

"How did you know that?"

Didn't even say when going, and because went impulsively that day no method for Lee Yeong-su to know.

- There is a method of knowing everything.

"Don't tell me monitoring me?"

Even saying so thought it doesn't make sense. Because didn't feel any gaze.

At those words Lee Yeong-su giggled.

- If able to do such a thing would be good. Such an ability also not bad.

Still ability talk.

"Then how on earth did you know?"

- Nothing special. In the Management Bureau also an ex-girlfriend. Met yesterday and while talking this and that accidentally heard. The building there became very clean.

"In the Management Bureau also an ex-girlfriend?"

- Didn't say before?

"How many ex-girlfriends at all?"

- That is a trade secret so can't inform. Aigo, this is again not easy. Managing while rotating the waist bends a lot?

"Great."

Really great. Seo I-hyeon repeatedly admired. Thinking about it, didn't leave linking arms with a young woman yesterday? Probably seeing the atmosphere returning that woman also soon won't join the ex-girlfriend ranks?

- Strange guys were also there? By any chance saw?

At Lee Yeong-su's question Seo I-hyeon shook off other thoughts. Not anyway decided to tell everything yesterday so said without burden.

"Probably those guys released the anomalies in that building."

- Released anomalies?

"More precisely brought something like strange mucus that produces anomalies."

- These days buildings on the Taeseong Development side have many problems, one has to look into a bit.

"Those guys, everyone used rune magic."

- Used rune magic?

"And before also saw similar guys."

- Saw before too? When? Where?

"While handling the skinwalker."

Lee Yeong-su was silent for a while then opened his mouth.

- Well done. Whatever if not absolutely necessary hiding is good. Continue to do so. By the way this time seeing telling everything, seems judged necessary.

"Yes. Because thought more information would be needed. Anyway the skinwalker was also something those guys brought. Guys who use rune magic."

- Then high probability the ones doing strange things on the Taeseong Development side buildings, also those guys high possibility.

"I think so, but don't know. The exact one has to look into, right?"

- Good. That part I'll look into well. Ah, by the way since the request ended I'll shoot coins right away. 5 thousand coins.

"5 thousand coins? Originally wasn't 3 thousand?"

5 thousand coins is a full 500 million. Thinking of only receiving 100 coins for handling the skinwalker before an excessively high amount.

- I said well and raised. The remodeling budget there exceeds 5 billion. A bit forced feeling, but an amount not unable to give. If couldn't handle this as time passes the money discarded increases.

"I see."

- But in my view also a feeling of seducing mercenaries or fixers a bit. At 3 thousand coins ordinary guys would eye once.

Once suspicion arises everything is suspicious.

"Taeseong Development, suspicious?"

- Suspicious. So one has to look into. What those guys' intention is, what doing, and by any chance something else behind.

Seo I-hyeon nodded. As expected Lee Yeong-su also thought everything. Then suddenly one really curious thing came to mind. Originally a question one wouldn't do. But really curious. To the degree hard to endure.

"How did that woman yesterday become?"

- What how become? Well became. I said. The feeling comes exactly. This feeling never wrong.

"Then became an ex-girlfriend?"

- Uh... originally dating about a week then going over to ex-girlfriend? But this time just decided to do so?

"Great."

Can't say other than those words. Really great.

- The really great thing is not that.

"What else is there?"

- During that time I made ex-girlfriends here and there? In the black market too and in the cartel too, and in some companies too.

"That well, know well."

- But among them there is one place I really wanted to have but no opportunity.

There is such a place? Didn't say there is an ex-girlfriend in the Management Bureau too? Is there a place greater than the Management Bureau? Suddenly one came to mind.

"Don't tell me Cheonmyeong Group?"

- Oh! Smart. Right. Cheonmyeong Group. Yesterday that woman is working at Cheonmyeong Group? Really a woman exactly needed for me.

Really great. Eyes that accurately recognize a woman needed yet will fall.

'Envious while on the other hand not envious either.'

Seo I-hyeon sincerely thought so. As a man saying such a thing is not envious would be a lie. But while doing so an emotion of not envious arose.

This is because of the past Seo I-hyeon experienced. Experience in that world. Experience suffered from the witch.

Seo I-hyeon still had the matter of that time remaining as trauma. Probably this won't disappear easily.

- But certainly Cheonmyeong is different. The restriction level is different.

"Didn't say if happy a gap arises?"

Honestly Seo I-hyeon couldn't understand that either. The restrictions Seo I-hyeon knows are much more vicious and powerful. Whether there is a gap one doesn't know, but even if there is a gap the moment digging in there usually ends.

But Lee Yeong-su seemed not regarding that so seriously. Actually also didn't look serious.

Whether the restrictions of this world are loose, or Lee Yeong-su is special one couldn't know.

In fact thoughts inclined a bit to the latter side. That was Seo I-hyeon's thought.

- Wow, really vicious. Making a gap wasn't easy. Such a restriction is first again. Anyway succeeded, but still far. Seems one has to grow strength a bit more, and also eat medicine good for the body. As expected Cheonmyeong Group.

Now seems no need to listen more.

"Then if something found out contact. If okay requests anytime welcome."

- Okay. Will contact soon.

Seo I-hyeon hung up. Somehow the feeling of energy a bit sucked.

Exhaled a breath and shook his head to shake off the mood then stepped vigorously.

First going home and stroking the cute magic books a bit one should.

"By the way the gaze continuously following."

Seo I-hyeon muttered like that. Suddenly the heart pounded. Fairly pleasant expectation filled.

Only then Seo I-hyeon had no choice but to acknowledge.

"I, like this kind of thing."

Even saying dislike, dislike was vaguely hoping for such a situation.
