Episode 165

83. Held a meeting – 1

“Hey~! It’s been a while!”

In the evening, when all the work was over, a familiar face appeared in the cabin.

It was the tiger man, Tailung, smiling confidently.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

Lee Han gathered the representatives from each region and smiled brightly at Tai Lung, who arrived first.

Tailung approached him and shook his hand, shrugging his shoulders.

“Our lives are always the same. We hunt and catch monsters. By the way, is this your cabin? It’s nice.”

Unlike the western water people who did not go out much in the west, the Tai Lung liked to wander around.

But this was his first time seeing such a wonderful cabin.

“Oh! Friends. How have you been?”

“Welcome home.”

“How about the West?”

“Long time no see.”

Shredder and Deli, who had fought together last time, and Tyrung, who had discovered the tree, sat at the table in front of the cabin, smiling happily.

At the table he was sitting at, Leticia, Red, and Willem were already sitting.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen elves. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Leticia.”

“It’s red.”

“My name is Willem.”

After a brief greeting, Tailung looked around the cabin with his characteristically cheerful smile.

He seemed to like the cabin quite a bit, so he fiddled around with it until he twisted the faucet and burst out laughing.

“Isn’t this Dwarven City technology?”

“Oh. Have you ever been to Dwarven City?”

Carmen, who had been working in the blacksmith shop with other dwarves, came out smiling.

Tai Lung looked at the beer mug in his hand and licked his lips.

“Is that beer?”

“yes.”

“Wow. I didn’t know I’d see beer here. I drank a lot when I went to Dwarven City back in the day.”

“Phew. If you know what beer tastes like, it would be natural to drink it together. Hey, Lee Han. Can I give this guy some beer?”

“Of course.”

“Haha! This is why I like dwarves!”

Carmen took a large keg of beer out of the beer storage.

Meanwhile, Shredder prepared the beef jerky and fish cakes that Lee Han had made.

A drinking table was naturally set up on the table.

While those who wanted to have a quick drink before dinner were getting ready, Hongryeon was walking from the field wearing a straw hat.

“Huh? What is that tiger?”

“Huh? Is this the aura of a demon?”

Hongryeon and Tailong looked at each other intently.

Do the strong recognize the strong?

Shredder watched the two lightly clench and unclench their fists and munched on the jerky.

“If you want to test your skills, go somewhere else and do it.”

“Stop wasting your energy and have a beer.”

“That sounds good.”

“I like drinking more than fighting.”

“Oh. I agree with that. You. You’re pretty good for a monster.”

“Huh. Well, that’s about it.”

In the West, there is a saying that if you don’t encounter a monster at least once a day, you are not a true beastman.

That meant there were a lot of monsters in the West.

For Tai Lung, who could be said to be the representative of the West, monsters were simply things that had to be killed.

But Hongryeon was different.

First of all, we can communicate and our tastes are similar.

“Cheers!!”

“Eat and die!!”

Tai Lung lifted the glass filled with cold beer and clinked it together, gulping down the cold beer.

The sun had set, but the sweltering heat of summer still lingered.

The ice-cold beer poured into my body, which had been heated up from running all the way from the West, and I felt a thrill that made the hairs on my body stand on end.

“Kiyaaaaaaaa~!! This is the best! This is much better than what I had in Dwarven City?!”

“I hate to admit it, but it’s true, so I have to admit it.”

The dwarves from Dwarven City also agreed with his words and drank.

Thanks to Tailung’s easygoing personality, he quickly became close with the cabin family.

“The last time I had this dish in the West, it was really delicious. When I told them I was going to the Central Region this time, the other guys said they wanted to go with me.”

“Why didn’t you bring it?”

Tonight’s dinner was spicy and sweet wild boar rib barbecue.

Tai Lung, who received a dish that was a masterpiece with a generous amount of sauce on large pieces of rib meat, ate it roughly and cooled his burning mouth with beer.

“Puhaaaa… … Didn’t you call me because something came up? I said we should go together after work.”

“Hmm? I thought all the people in the central region knew. You didn’t know? You come around often, don’t you?”

“Haha. I haven’t been to the central region much lately.”

Lee Han told Tai Lung why he had summoned him.

Tai Lung nodded nonchalantly at his suggestion to hold a meeting to decide on a representative for the Great Forest while the witch was away.

“Hmm. A representative of the Great Forest… … So, we’re going to elect someone who can decide how the Great Forest will act in the event of a crisis, right?”

“yes.”

“If we’re going to elect a leader, it’s definitely worth holding a meeting.”

“What do you think?”

“Me? Well, I don’t really care… … Do you have any plans to start a war of aggression against other regions?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Okay then. I’ll support you.”

“Oh. That easily?”

Shredder grinned playfully and ripped the ribs.

Tai Lung narrowed his eyes at him.

“If you don’t support your friend who risked his life fighting with you, who else would you support? And I think this guy will do well. The other guys in the West will trust and follow Lee Han.”

There is no one who does not know how much he helped them when they had to fight the Yaksha leader in the past.

The Suin tribe is a people with a definite sense of duty.

If you receive help, you must repay the favor.

He spoke naturally, tearing into a large piece of rib and eating it roughly, then crunching the bones and swallowing them.

“But I’m worried about the other guys.”

“I think Raul, the chieftain of the South, will help since he is acquainted with Yihan.”

“Really? But will the northern and eastern kids just sit still?”

White, the owl-man of the North, and Seolhwa, the dog-man of the East.

It was questionable whether they would raise Lee Han’s hand.

Everyone looked at him as he seemed to know something about them.

“I’ve only seen it a few times. But Hayan follows the witch so well that it almost seems like she’s the witch’s subordinate, and Seolhwa… … .”

“What about the story?”

“I don’t know about him. He doesn’t like humans.”

“okay?”

It reminded me of the dog tribe villages in the central region.

Jilpungi said that he heard that the dog people used to get along well with humans in the past.

But why does Seolhwa, who is also a dog-like creature, hate humans?

“I heard it too. They say that among Seolhwa’s ancestors, there was one who swore loyalty to humans.”

“oh…….”

“That guy’s ancestors were proud of it and always told their children about it to make them feel proud. I guess he didn’t like that.”

Seolhwa could not understand, and could not admit, why it was a matter of pride to swear allegiance to such a weak human being.

That’s why Seolhwa hated humans.

Seolhwa believed that the dog race was superior to other races.

But you are proud of your family for generations for being loyal to a human you have never seen?

It was something that Sulwha, who had a strong ego, did not like.

“I guess you’ve never met a real human before.”

“Right? The disappearance of humans happened before we were even born.”

Lee Han nodded at his words.

Anyway, we know about those who will be problematic, so we can just calmly adjust to them.

‘I wonder if honey and sweet potatoes alone won’t do… … .’

Tailung came and the next day, guests from the south also came.

It was Raul and his wife Chiara.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Haha. It’s been a while.”

“Oh my~! They say there’s a World Tree in the central region. Is it really there? Haha. Nice to meet you~!”

Raoul, who has a sad personality, and Kiara, who is lively, also quickly became acquainted with the cabin family, just like Tailung.

After seeing the fields they had only heard about and tasting the honey, they were amazed and settled into the annex to the cabin when a guest from the north arrived.

It was an owl with pure white fur.

He flew through the sky and landed on the cabin, greeting Lee Han politely.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Hayan, the representative of the Northern Great Forest and the witch’s loyal subordinate.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“It’s been a while.”

“Yes. It’s been a while. I heard you were given the name Explanation?”

“Huh? How do you not know?”

“I heard it from the witch.”

Hayan took out a crystal ball from her bosom.

It seems that he even heard from the witch why Lee Han was called.

He slowly looked around the cabin and then headed toward the field with the herbs.

“The witch asked me to help Lee Han. I don’t know how much help I can be, but just let me do it.”

“You don’t have to be so formal. I just want to be friendly.”

“Well then, feel free to speak.”

“You make yourself comfortable too.”

“Okay. By the way, you said you grow herbs, but where did you get those herbs? They must be hard to get.”

“I got help from the dragon.”

It seems that Hayan is interested in medicinal herbs, so she and Han focused on the medicinal herb field.

After talking for a while, he was quite surprised to hear that Lee Han had grown Hyeongseongseolsam, and went to see the Hyeongseongseolsam that he was keeping.

“Things are going smoothly~.”

“Tailong said, sitting at the table and munching on jerky.

Raul, Tai Lung, and Hayan were also friendly to Yi Han.

“… … .”

“What is this atmosphere?”

A chill began to settle in the cabin, which seemed to be flowing along leisurely.

Everyone in the cabin turned their heads towards the cold that made even the summer heat disappear.

It was a beautiful dog named Suin with white fur.

No one opened their mouths at the appearance of the dog, who was staring at them with his hand on a large tree with a blunt face.

‘He’s a strong guy.’

Shredder raised the corners of his mouth. He could instinctively tell that this was at least as powerful as his own.

“Are you Seolhwa?”

It was Lee Han’s indifferent voice that broke the frozen atmosphere.

Lee Han approached Seol-hwa nonchalantly and held out his hand.

“Nice to meet you. I am Lee Han, the representative of Daesurim Central.”

“… … The representative tale of the East.”

Seolhwa did not take Leehan’s hand, but only answered in a soft voice.

He just walked over and sat down.

Hongryeon frowned slightly at the sight of such a story, but did not move.

“Why have you summoned the representatives of the Great Forest? You are not a witch.”

“I have the witch’s permission.”

“… … Then, let’s begin the meeting.”

It seemed as if he didn’t want to stay in the cabin for too long.

Tai Lung furtively revealed his sharp teeth, perhaps not liking the attitude that was sharp as a blade and cold as ice.

“It’s a bit awkward to start a meeting right away. How about we start with a meal? For dinner tonight, we’ll have honey-sweet potato candy, honey-sweet potato fries, baked honey-sweet potatoes, and honey-sweet potato mousse pizza.”

“… … .”

Honey sweet potatoes are something that Su-in can’t help but love. And these are dishes that are filled with Lee Han’s skills.

All the Suin tribe members were amazed at the word “honey sweet potato,” and Seolhwa closed her eyes and thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“I prepared something separately, so I will eat that.”

Seolhwa, who had said so, opened the bag he had brought.

The pockets were full of beef jerky.

“Did you make it yourself?”

“Yes. It’s jerky made by our tribe.”

“Can I try it?”

“I don’t think it would suit someone with sophisticated tastes.”

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders and held out his hand to the snorting Seol-hwa.

He was holding a honey potato in his hand.

“……ruler.”

Seol-hwa, who had been staring at the honey sweet potato, placed the beef jerky on Lee-han’s hand.
