Episode 133: The phrase engraved on the family sign

Dodak froze when he saw the hat.

I looked at the mother and child and Cheon Do-un alternately with round eyes.

If tiptoe, my secret weapon, didn’t work, I planned to jump and take it off.

Before implementing Plan B, the helper took off his hat.

How did they do it?

-Whoa, whoa… !

Is that so? This is thanks to him putting his hat up a little.

Thanks to this, the helper was able to take it off on his own.

The remaining question was why he was giving it to himself.

Dodak, who was rolling his eyes, realized and opened his mouth.

-Help, hehe!

This is asking for revenge.

Dodak took the hat and jumped off his shoulder.

After settling down on the table, he threw down his hat.

-Huh… huh!

I stepped on the hat with the root of my left foot.

-Huh… huh!

I also stepped with the root of my right foot.

Finally, I sat down on it.

The cruelty of being crushed by one’s own heavy weight.

It’s a huge helper. Are you feeling better now? Dodak looked up at Cheon Doun.

‘I guess you really liked the hat.’

It looked like a small animal building a nest as it used the roots of its feet to settle down.

If so, let’s give that hat to Dodak.

Cheon Do-un smiled and held up his hunter ID. I was about to hang it up on Dodak but stopped.

‘Because they might not like wearing something like this on their body. Let’s see the reaction first.’

Cheon Do-un took out Joseph’s medicine from his pocket.

When I dropped a couple of drops of it on Dodaki, the chairman looked curiously.

“What is that?”

“Communication Medicine.”

“Communication? “Do you really think you can talk to Mandragora?”

“It’s not even a conversation. “It feels like I’m interpreting the thoughts of a plant monster.”

After using the medicine, Cheon Do-woon showed his hunter ID to Dodak.

Dodak, who saw the hunter’s certificate, accepted it with trembling arms.

Dodak can’t read. But he recognized that the photo engraved there was of him.

-Whoa, whoa!

Dodak tapped the photo with the root of his arm and looked at Cheon Do-un.

A golden phrase appeared above his head.

『I am here』

Dodak tapped the photo once more.

-Help, hehe!

『I am yawning here』

“that’s right. “The photo was taken when she was yawning.”

Hearing Cheon Do-un’s words, he flashed his hunter’s card. In that state, he jumped up and down.

It was a desperate gesture to take a look at this.

“I guess you like it.”

Cheon Do-woon received a hunter’s certificate and hung it on Dodak like a crossbag.

Dodak, carrying his hunter ID like a bag, tilted his head.

– Huh, huh?

『It’s a strange thing. This has taken hold of my body.』

I don’t know what its purpose is. But he didn’t take it off and throw it away as if he liked it.

The president of the association watched the situation and smiled with a subtle expression.

“what… “The way you speak is different from what I imagined.”

“yes? “Dodak is a bit more dignified.”

“Dignity… hmm. is it.”

I’m not sure, but the caregiver said so, so let’s take it that way.

Chairman Lee Un-soo saw the medicine used by Cheon Do-un.

“It is truly a miraculous drug. “Where did you get that?”

“A knowledgeable alchemist.”

“Could you please ask if you have any plans to mass produce it? “If I had that medicine, I think I could avoid encounters with plant monsters.”

“well. “What do you think?”

Cheon Do-un looked at the medicine bottle.

Considering that only such a small amount has been made, the ingredients may be difficult to obtain.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Cheon Do-un didn’t want this drug to spread on the market.

“Please keep this medicine a secret.”

“Does the manufacturer want to do that?”

Instead of answering, Cheon Do-un stared at the medicine.

Joseph has a strong tendency to want to monopolize knowledge.

He is the one who said he would rather die than share his knowledge.

So there was no way Joseph would have revealed the medicine.

Aside from that, Cheon Do-un also did not want this drug to spread.

“If this spreads, species of plant monsters will become extinct. You will be deceived by someone and caught helpless. “Plants used as expensive medicines will become the victims.”

In Cheon Do-un’s view, there were many plant monsters that were as innocent as children.

To put it nicely, purity. To put it worst, simplicity.

There was no doubt that if this drug spread, there would be hunters who would take advantage of that tendency.

‘Isn’t it good if there are extinct monsters?’

Chairman Lee Un-soo thought so, but did not question it.

I didn’t understand how Cheon Do-un seemed to be taking the monster’s side, but at the same time, I could understand it to some extent.

‘Because he’s probably suffered more from people than from monsters.’

Humans and monsters may appear to be of the same species.

You may think of the two species along the same lines.

‘I’m thankful that he didn’t turn his back on people.’

The president of the association truly thought so.

“I’ll keep quiet too.”

The chief secretary also spoke with a serious expression.

The opponent is a survivor of an old era called the Great Upheaval Era.

They must have been through something they couldn’t imagine.

The chief secretary guessed that.

“How about tracking it down to the TDA lab? “Did you get the clue?”

“The status of survivors is not yet known, but we have located the location of the laboratory.”

When the Chairman winked, the Chief Secretary placed the file on the table.

“The research lab you were in moved a total of eight times. It can also be transferred to a monster attack. “Sometimes we move it to avoid the eyes of the provisional government.”

After flipping through the documents, a map appeared.

Red circles were drawn in eight places on the map.

“It’s where the research center was. “It was all in the mountains, but now the geography has changed a lot.”

“In what way?”

“The city was built by pushing the mountain, or the terrain collapsed due to a monster attack, leaving no trace of it… “Some places collapsed due to landslides.”

As time passed, there were few areas that preserved the original form of the past.

“Is there anywhere I can go? “It’s a relatively clean place.”

“It’ll be on the back page. “It’s just a guess, but I think three of the relocated labs will be fine.”

When I flipped through the map, I saw three red circles on the map.

“However, it is a greenbelt area. The government is putting a barrier in place. “That’s why our agents couldn’t go in.”

It was said that it was not known whether the laboratory building would remain or not.

“We are also investigating whether the scattered researchers are still alive. “Please wait a little longer.”

“okay. “Can I take this map?”

“of course. Are you thinking of going?”

“I have to go and see.”

The chairman smiled as if he knew that would happen.

“Be careful. If you break the Greenbelt barrier, government agents will arrive… .”

The chairman paused while speaking. The gaze alternately looked at Cheon Do-un and her siblings.

“Government agents are highly capable people of Grade A or higher… .”

The Chairman’s words stopped again.

A cold sweat broke out at the reaction of asking what was wrong with that.

“therefore… There is a rumor that there is also an S-class ability… I mean… .”

done. Let’s quit. The chairman fell silent at the calm expressions of Cheon Do-woon and his siblings.

Maybe we should be worried about government agents rather than them.

“Don’t kill me. “They are just salaried workers.”

It was the moment when high-ranking government agents were reduced to salaried workers.

“I have no intention of killing you. “If you bother me, I might break it in a few places.”

“Please do just enough to make a comeback. Gently. You have to be very gentle. Especially since you, Cheon Do-un, have a well-known face. “Isn’t it okay to become a criminal?”

“ah. It did. Should I wear a mask?”

Cheon Do-woon saw Dodak carrying a hunter’s badge.

It occurred to me that my identity was exposed due to a stray in the slums.

‘I guess I’ll have to put a mask on Dodak this time too.’

I need to make a mask specifically for Mandragora. He thought with a smile.

* * *

Cheon Do-un took his files and left the Hunter Association.

“Are you going to go to the lab right now?”

When Nam Ki-seok asked, Cheon Do-un shook his head.

“I’m going to go home and fix the sign first. “We have to deal with that first.”

The split Coconut Family sign could not be left as is.

Nam Gi-seok nodded in response to his answer.

“Then I’ll go home at this point. Please call me when you go to the lab later. “If there is anything I can help with, I will help.”

Nam Ki-seok headed home to purify the demonic energy accumulated in his body.

Director Kim also left the group, saying that since he had come to Gold City, he would buy the ingredients needed for alchemy.

After crossing the gate and arriving home, Cheon Do-woon brought out the sign he had left in his room.

“mister. “Can you fix that?”

“I have to try it.”

Cheon Do-un spread green spider web along the broken surface.

The split sides were put together like a puzzle.

“Oh my.”

A few drops of green spider web accidentally fell and splashed onto the sign.

It was dirty, as if ink had been splattered, but the adhesive was strong so it could not be removed.

The good news is that it didn’t fall on the writing.

“Now I think I just need to add a plate to the back and attach it one more time. “Hold it and hold it.”

Cheon Do-un went into the underground cave where firewood was piled up.

They selected suitable wood, cut it into thin pieces, and attached it to the back of the sign.

It was strong enough to hold and shake, but the marks where it had once been split remained.

“These marks won’t go away.”

Nari Kim said with a sullen face.

“There’s nothing you can do about it. “I think this, too, is a trace of memories.”

“Traces of memories?”

“Today is the Coconut family’s second outing. “This mark is a commemorative trace of that outing.”

“A sign of commemoration… !”

Nari Kim’s eyes widened.

“Engrave the date next to this broken mark. “After 10 years, you will be able to think back and think, ‘That happened.’”

Kim Nari’s eyes sparkled at Cheon Do-un’s words.

“Well, after hearing it, it seems like that. What you said is right. “Those marks are commemorative traces from the second outing.”

Is that how it works? The siblings watching next to her tilted their heads.

It sounded strange, but Na-ri Kim liked it so she didn’t care.

“Then I will engrave today’s date.”

Lasers shot out from Nari Kim’s eyes.

As I turned my head around, today’s date was engraved next to the broken mark.

“It’s done.”

“Write the phrase next to it so you don’t forget.”

“Phrases?”

“I’m just taking a brief note of what happened today. “If you just write down the date, you may forget what the date is later.”

“Oh oh.”

Nari Kim thought about it and engraved a note with a laser under the date.

-The person who broke the sign flies in the sky-

The story of Cheon Do-un kicking a man in a suit was written quite poetically.

Nari Kim engraved another note underneath it.

-Twirl and somersault-

There were also a few impressive stunts done by Dodak.

-Get information from Gold City-

I briefly wrote about what happened at the Hunter Association.

“It’s done.”

Cheon Do-un laughed when he saw the phrase engraved by Kim Na-ri.

Because I wrote it so briefly, it seemed like a password for something.

However, since there was not enough space to write notes, I couldn’t write them down in detail like a diary.

“Is this okay?”

“This is enough.”

“good. Now the problem is where to hang this. If it snows, it will melt, so don’t go outside… “Is it safe to hang it inside the house?”

Cheon Do-un entered the house holding a sign.

A hole was drilled in the wall, a silk caterpillar thread was passed through and connected to both ends of the sign.

“It seems pretty good. It looks like a picture frame or something. “It seems like a family motto and has an atmosphere.”

The Coconut Family sign is visible as soon as you enter the house.

Cheon Do-un smiled in satisfaction. The siblings watching her from outside tilted their heads.

“what? The atmosphere of that sign… “It feels familiar.”

“Is that the case with you too? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere too. “Where did you see it?”

The siblings looked at the sign.

Traces of being split in half. Green spider webs leaked from there.

They flowed and solidified, creating an eerie overall atmosphere.

The green spiderweb that Cheon Do-un shed also left a trace like ink splatter.

Yubeom, who was looking at the crooked note, his eyes wavered.

“I remembered.”

The intersection where I went begging when I was young. An old bakery next to it. A murder case occurred there.

I was wondering where I had seen it, but then I saw it. That’s what it felt like to see a phrase written in blood on the wall.

‘Dying message… .’

A sign with a similar atmosphere was hung inside the house.

‘Let’s not talk.’

Yubeom thought while looking at Kim Nari, who was smiling brightly.

Meanwhile, Cheon Do-un also stared at the sign.

‘It’s better than I thought. I think it would be nice to make one and hang it outside.’

Considering that it would snow in the winter, it had to be made of a material that wouldn’t melt.

It would be nice to have a sign that has a bright yet warm atmosphere to match the red lighting.

What should I make it with?

Cheon Do-un looked at the sign with a satisfied face and thought about it.
