I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel - Chapter 144
144 – Saying Goodbye
‘The good thing is that I don’t have a hangover.’
Yesterday, the drinking party with Hella went on for quite a while.
She continued to open new wines today, saying that her alcohol tasted good.
I also found the various stories Hella told me interesting, so I dealt with her as much as I could.
As I drank so much, several wine bottles were rolling around before I knew it, and quite a bit of time had passed.
But I didn’t feel a hangover at all.
[The trait ‘Metafiction’ ignores drunkenness!]
My metafiction is that it is possible to ignore not only mental attacks but also drunkenness from alcohol.
Thanks to that, I was able to wake up in the morning without incident even after drinking that much.
Of course, my sleep time itself was reduced, so I woke up a little later than usual.
Looking at the sun rising, it is already morning.
I’m still a bit tired, but I have to get up soon.
The comfortable life might make you forget, but this is a castle at war.
Basically, since the military lives in a group, I need to adjust my life pattern accordingly.
“Good morning.”
“Ah!”
From noble mtl dot com
I happened to pass by the hallway and ran into Eve.
Was it a little uncomfortable because it was a new environment?
Eve looked slightly tired, as if she hadn’t slept.
Looking at me, my face suddenly gets hot.
With a whimper, she turned her head and went on her way.
“What?”
Embarrassed, I immediately followed Eve.
Although it wasn’t necessary since the road to go was the same anyway.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“Oh, nothing?”
“Isn’t it nothing?”
Why do people run into each other without even saying hello when nothing happened?
Because you feel bad just looking at my unwashed face?
If that’s the case, it’s too sad. It’s my fault, of course.
“I’m sorry. It was because I stayed up late dealing with the queen yesterday.”
“Why are you apologizing? Did you think I would care that much?”
That’s what he said, but he slightly raised his eyebrows.
If you say that you drank until late in this situation, you might be angry.
I risked my life to follow the contractor, but he drank and didn’t sleep well?
I think I will be angry too.
“I’m really sorry. Nothing like this will happen in the future.”
“……You must have been drinking for quite some time?”
“Somehow it happened. I don’t know if it’s because she’s a goddess, but she drinks well.”
“Huh~ Well, I don’t like it, but I’ll give it a special look. You are my only. I am a contractor.”
A while ago, you openly avoided it with a blushing face.
This time Eve is in a good mood and even puts on a triumphant expression.
As expected, I don’t know what’s inside children of this age.
‘Anyway, I feel relieved, so is it okay?’
Eve glanced at me and gently grabbed my hand.
It was so cute that I didn’t remove my hand and just stayed still.
Somehow, we ended up holding hands and walking side by side.
“Hella called us separately. You said to come right away?”
“Since morning? What happened?”
“She only said she had an idea for us.”
I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Hella yesterday.
You said you had a good idea of what mission to give.
After talking with her yesterday, she was a deity with common sense.
She probably won’t give her too much work.
Of course, I can entrust you with a little mischievous work.
“Then I should go. While serving as a guest, the owner calls and I can’t even ignore her.”
The place we went to was the throne where Hella was sitting.
“Hmm, are you here now? I was thinking of sending Hild later, but that worked out.”
Hella was so lively that it was hard to believe that she had been drinking all night last night.
Is that also one of the powers possessed by the goddess?
Yesterday, maybe it was because it was a private event, but there were times when I relaxed a bit.
Now, she was the queen herself when I first saw her.
Yuri, Hyena, and Eunbyeol had already arrived.
Unlike me, everyone seems to have slept well and finished preparing, so they look clean.
Hella, who was looking at me and her girls, sighed deeply.
“A pearl necklace on a pig’s neck is a term used at times like this.”
“Yes? Is that the right word for the current situation?”
“That’s up to your conscience.”
At that, Hyena burst into laughter.
Apparently, she was the same age as me.
“I’ll wash my face and come back. What is that in front of the queen?”
“I couldn’t help it because I was suddenly called. So what is it all of a sudden?”
Hella made a puzzled expression at my impudent attitude.
“You look like such a cheeky person. Whoa! Well, that’s it As I said, she called you because the mission to be given to you has been decided.”
“A mission?”
“First of all, five people are too many, so let’s drop them a little. Hyena Yoo, Eunbyeol Kim, Eve. You guys stay in the castle and help in the war.”
Aiding in the war was somewhat expected.
It’s probably the most urgent issue from Hella’s point of view.
However, this arrangement of personnel was a bit unexpected.
‘You’re taking out the glass with me?’
Not to mention Yuri, I was the most familiar with combat among our group.
Of course, the other kids will also be a great force in the war due to their abilities.
However, it was quite unexpected that the two of us, who fought the best, were excluded.
“Then what should the two of us do?”
“I’ll leave you guys on a separate mission. It’s important to stop the fire giant, but there’s still a lot left to investigate around here.”
In other words, do you mean operating as a separate special forces unit?
Like the last time Heald moved alone in the forest.
Unexpectedly, it may have been necessary to allocate the number of people to that side in the first place.
“Does that take a long time?”
“It depends. It’s not like I know everything about Niflheim. It might be more dangerous than the middle of a battlefield.”
That seems to be the reason why Yuri and I are being sent.
If it’s just the two of us, we’ll be able to respond even if there are quite a few enemies.
‘It’s unfortunate that they’re scattered, but the authority to command is over there in the first place.’
If you dare to argue, Hela is the commander-in-chief, and we are her subordinates.
Aside from that, I can’t complain that I don’t want to separate from my colleagues.
In addition, the soldiers I saw here yesterday were quite skillful at defending against the fire giants.
It would be safer to stay here than anything dangerous.
“How long will a mission take?”
At Eunbyeol’s words, Hella pondered for a while.
Then she smiled and replied with a kind smile.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to take your man away for too long.”
At those words, Eunbyeol’s face turned slightly red.
It looked like someone who had been stabbed to the point.
……. But how come your reaction is different from when I asked?
I feel like I’ve been discriminated against since yesterday.
Anyway, again I have a question.
Actually, there was something else I really wanted to ask.
“Anyway, this war will continue for a long time, right?”
“There is nothing more foolish than asserting what the battlefield will be like. I don’t think it will be short-lived though. Are there any problems?”
“Is there any way we can contact the world we came from?”
“Contact? Ah, is it because of the humans you left behind on Earth?”
We participated in the next quest in Haeundae, and then we were called here right away.
People including Yoo Eun-sol may be worried about us.
I can’t help it if it doesn’t work, but if possible, I want to tell you the news of survival.
Hella said in a very slightly shy tone.
“Hmm, well, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Is it possible?”
She was slightly taken aback by the unexpected reply.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s possible, but it was close to asking just in case.
“In the beginning, our mythology was a place where many worlds were connected. So, there is also a means of contacting other places. Of course, if it’s that distance, you’ll have to spend some coins, but if it’s you, there’s no problem, right?”
“Yes, please.”
When I answered, Hella snapped her fingers.
What appeared in front of us was a large mirror.
[Please specify the contact person.]
It seems to be a way to pick one person and contact them.
Is this the most advanced means of communication in Norse mythology?
Admiring the technique, I entered Yu Eun-sol’s name.
The mirror gradually changed, and the image of the office we know came to mind on the screen.
But the person reflected there was not Eunsol.
-Hmm? Ho-oh, isn’t this Mr. Jihoon?
A man with a handsome blond face and a relaxed expression.
A person who fought with me over Eve in the past.
This is Cain, Apollo’s contractor.
…….Why are you here?
-Haha! That’s why I’m here! Uncharacteristic of you, you show all your emotions, and you look pretty flustered.
“What are you? Why are you there?”
-Ah, that’s…….
It was just as Cain was about to say something.
-Ah, what is it, Cain! It’s a call from me, so why are you accepting it! Don’t go away!
– Miss Eunsol. It is not strange no matter what happens in the divine realm. Maybe it’s a curse… Big!
-Noisy, get out of the way!
It was Eunsol, a face I knew, who pushed Cain away halfway and revealed her face.
A girl who is currently the leader of Haeundae.
She looked at us through the screen and she smiled broadly.
-Jihoon oppa! Hyena’s sister! Yuri Sister! Eunbyeol sister! And… Who is it? Cute anyway! You’ve been doing well! I’m glad you look healthy
“Ugh, yes. Eunsol, have you been well?”
-Of course I’m fine!
What otherworldly tension.
Looking at the way he speaks bravely, he looks really good.
Fortunately, there seems to be no problem.
I had a problem that bothered me more than that.
“By the way, why is Cain there?
-Ah, you have safely returned to our group!
“What?”
When I asked, Eunsol tilted her head and asked.
-What? I heard Jihoon oppa asked you to help us? Wasn’t it?
Cain across the screen scratched her head at her awkward face.
…….What the hell was this bastard doing?
