Hello, Mom, granddaughter.
Why are you swearing in front of the child?
Can you move the military?
Choi Ji-yeon, who was hit by three consecutive shocking remarks, couldn't come to her senses for a while.
She tried to cool her head by enjoying some tea with Hong Yeon-hwa, but the fire-attribute filial daughter gave her an even worse headache.
"That... the explanation is really embarrassing."
Choi Ji-yeon drank the tea with a complicated expression.
The first thing she was told was about her granddaughter's shocking remark.
Choi Ji-yeon covered her face with her teacup and glanced at the other side.
"Seoyul, these snacks are really delicious? Do you want to try one?"
"I'll eat it."
Hong Yeon-hwa offering snacks to Lee Seo-yul, and Lee Seo-yul snatching the snacks that had already moved to the side and reached for her mouth with her hand.
Surprisingly! Hong Yeon-hwa looked quite affectionate, and Lee Seo-yool, although somewhat awkward, did not completely reject the touch.
It was a scene that would be colorless even if it was a mother trying to be nice to him and a child who accepted him awkwardly.
It was simply an amazing sight to Choi Ji-yeon.
At least those who knew Hong Yeon-hwa’s past would gape in amazement.
Choi Ji-yeon, who knew about Hong Yeon-hwa’s recent personality improvement, was only surprised.
- Flutter...
“... ... ”
Aside from such an impressive sight, there was something that caught my attention.
The colors that stood out in Choi Ji-yeon’s office, which was mainly painted in dark brown and red.
It was the five-colored wings spread out behind Lee Seo-yool’s back.
“A fairy...”
Choi Ji-yeon muttered quietly, covering her mouth with her teacup. She stared at the five-colored wings with complicated eyes.
“I don’t know much about fairies, but... ”
“Fairies aren’t common. It’s normal not to know.”
Hong Yeon-hwa gave a rough explanation about Lee Seo-yool.
It was something she had already discussed with Lee Ha-yool.
Lee Seo-yool couldn’t hide it forever. Also, Lee Ha-yool didn’t want to hide Lee Seo-yool forever.
It was because hiding her existence seemed to be denying Lee Seo-yool and making her look like a child she wasn’t proud of.
In the first place, while living together with the Gaphwa family for a while, hiding the secret of being a fairy was annoying and troublesome.
At least it was easier for Choi Ji-yeon to reveal it.
“... Well, if you guys thought about it seriously and did it, then we have nothing to say.”
Choi Ji-yeon didn’t view Lee Seo-yool’s existence negatively.
She had brought enemies into the Gaphwa family and was influenced by the family’s unique loose-knit atmosphere, and Choi Ji-yeon herself wasn’t that picky and conservative.
So what if her race was a fairy? Choi Ji-yeon had no right to deny that Hong Yeon-hwa thought of her as her own child, cared for her, and raised her.
Above all, what Choi Ji-yeon cared about was something completely different.
‘Me, me, a grandmother...?’
It was a reality that was hard to believe. Choi Ji-yeon’s face became empty.
She did not abandon her conscience.
She seemed to have a very low face value because she was a superhuman, but she recognized that she was not young by the standards of ordinary people.
‘But... even so... I haven’t heard the word ‘grandmother’ yet...!’
Even though her daughter had already become an adult! Isn’t she just about to become an adult?
No matter what, it was shocking to hear the word ‘grandmother’ already...
“Choi Ji-yeon.”
“Uh, yeah?”
“Here...”
It was around the time when Choi Ji-yeon was groaning inside.
When she suddenly heard a voice, she looked down and saw Lee Seo-yool, who had come near her, staring up at her and holding something out.
The small thing in her hand was a bite-sized snack that had been placed on the table.
“... Are you giving it to me?”
“Yes.”
Lee Seo-yool nodded.
Son-in-law... Did he say he was born through Lee Ha-yool’s magic? Maybe that’s why he had such a sparkling appearance.
Now that I look at him, his behavior is also quite cute...
“Don’t call me that indifferently, just call me grandma.”
“Yes?”
Choi Ji-yeon took the snack with one hand and put it in her mouth, and carefully stroked Lee Seo-yool’s head with the other.
Lee Seo-yool, who had been blinking, felt a hand gently touch his head.
“... ... ”
“What are you looking at?”
“No, nothing...”
Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been watching him from the other side, made a trembling expression.
This was because she remembered the time and effort it took for her to smoothly place her hand on Lee Seo-yool’s head...
“Ahem! Anyway, let’s talk about Seo-yool, but what about the troop problem?”
“No, this... daughter. Is it that easy to move the troop?”
“You knew it would be difficult, so you came to Mom first.”
“Oh.”
Choi Ji-yeon furrowed her brows at the sly reply and sat Lee Seo-yool down next to her. She even handed him a few snacks as a bonus.
“First, tell me why. If you suddenly barged in and said you’re going to move the troop!, there’s no way they’d respond. Especially when you’ve already sent support to the Changhae family.”
Choi Ji-yeon stared at Hong Yeon-hwa with serious eyes as she spoke.
Although Hong Yeon-hwa used to be as angry as a mad dog, she’s improved in her own way now, and she wasn’t the type of kid to joke around like that in the past.
“Uh... I don’t know either. Maybe we should move, but maybe not... Where should we move? I’m not sure about that yet.”
“?”
A question mark appeared above Choi Ji-yeon's head.
Hong Yeon-hwa scratched the back of her head.

▶ Me: Sister Ji-yeon
▶ Me: Can I contact you briefly?
▶ Me: I have something to ask you
▶ Me: Sister, do you have the authority to command the troops?
* * *
There are many ways to divide the regions, but most forces, including the Association, use the three-color division of white, black, and gray as a standard.
The White Zone is a peaceful region.
A place where the Association's influence is strong or where a force reigns supreme and maintains a peaceful rule.
It is a region where public security is stable and damage from dungeons and monsters is minimal, and those who talk about an era of peace are usually people from the White Zone.
The Black Zone, on the other hand, is a land outside of humans.
It may have been a land where civilization was developed in the past, but it is now a land where humans have lost ownership due to monsters and dungeons.
The area called the Demon Realm is the Black Zone. It is also a land in the middle of the dungeon. This is a distinction of the food! It was a hard -to -be -pork -sized soup. Yellowish and sticky texture, with small pieces floating around.
I picked up the bowl and put the contents in my mouth.
The outside looks ugly, so the chewing on the pieces feels strange.
‘But it’s the same once it’s in my mouth.’
I’ve been eating a lot of tasteless things since I lost my sense of taste. I’ve never been picky since I lost my sense of taste.
It was even worse after I lost my sense of taste. I put anything in my mouth, saying that it was good as long as it had nutrients and calories.
‘......’
Now, honestly, I didn’t want to put anything in my mouth, whether it tasted good or not.
The stuff that filled the subspace. I put that in my mouth, but it wasn’t satisfying.
Because I already felt something delicious.
A memory that’s not too distant. The sweet and savory taste that filled my mouth...
The ecstatic taste that lingered on my tongue, and above all, the feeling that filled me with mental satisfaction, are still vivid.
After eating all that all night, I feel really bad now that I’m eating this kind of pork porridge.
“I came back from inside and I got a lot of wind. Nothing has changed, you punk. Can’t you see that the other customers are eating well?”
“What? What the hell. There’s a punk who eats this kind of stuff.”
Still, I couldn’t complain about the side dishes, so I was slurping down the soup.
Suddenly, I was struck by a spark.
“Hey, are you a retard with a tongue? Why are you paying for this?”
The man who had been arguing with the owner suddenly walked towards me. He glanced at me and raised his eyebrows strangely.
“You look like a punk from a famous house? Why did you come all the way here?”
My eyebrows narrowed at the man’s words.
[A famous house. How do you know that by eye?]
"You're so polite from the start. Do you have any intention of hiding it?"
'So how do you distinguish that?
The robe I picked up wasn't new. The material itself wasn't good, and it was worn and defective here and there.
I found something like that and wore it.
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
The gray area is a place where monsters and dungeons are common, so naturally, there are many places with poor security.
Abandoned, unexplored dungeons are common, and it's also quite easy to see runaway dungeons.
If you leave the residential area a little bit, you can often encounter monsters.
Because of that security situation, you can often encounter bad people.
Thanks to that, while I was walking around the gray area, flies were strangely attracted to me.
What was it? It was like the atmosphere that seemed to be there at first glance was so refreshing that it seemed like something would come out if you shook it?
I thought it was some kind of nonsense since I was using a perception impairment spell, but I thought it might be the effect of the all-rounder, so I wore it even more casually.
‘But it doesn’t have much effect.’
The man’s words were like that right now, and when I thought about what I had experienced while visiting this town, it didn’t seem to have any effect.
Voice? What’s wrong with a voice controlled by a necklace of confession?
“These days, even rich kids put this kind of food on the table? This is the end of the world. Or do you have a different taste? Huh?”
The man who came near me distorted his face at the babbling.
When I opened my eyes, I could feel the man’s red face.
At the same time, without even opening my eyes, I could tell that he was very unpleasant, dirty, and disgusting.
There were a few bottles of alcohol rolling around on the man’s table.
[Don’t pick a fight, just go away.]
“Tragging? You don’t know because you’re an outsider, but this is how all the neighbors here become friendly. Huh? Or there are other ways.”
The man who had gulped down the bottle of alcohol in his hand snickered and tapped his pocket.
“Can you get me a room? It’s easier to become close with someone physically than verbally.”
‘You crazy bastard.’
It seems he got my gender mixed up. The already unpleasant feeling worsened.
You didn’t get confused? That’s a dirty feeling in its own way.
[Get out nicely before getting hit]
“Haha! Let’s not act like that. What are you trying to say when you came all the way here?”
Even though I warned him, the drunk man didn’t listen and reached out to my robe.
[Discomfort]
Drinking, not talking, and wantonly trying to touch me.
Extremely unpleasant.
- Boom!
The head of the man with psychic powers hit the floor. The dust on the floor suddenly rose up, and the hand that was approaching me trembled and trembled.
[Why won't you listen if I tell you? Do you wear your head as a decoration?]
"Ugh, ugh..."
[But that bastard has no skills at all. I don't understand what he believes in and keeps talking nonsense.]
The man who had his head buried in the floor let out a gasp.
In reality, blood was pouring out of his head, but he's a superhuman, so he won't die.
In the first place, when you have to worry about whether to kill him or not, you should be thankful that he saved your life.
[You're already in a bad mood, and you're being annoying.]
It's not that I'm not in a good mood right now.
I've been wandering around here and there recently, and I've been expressing the power of space very strongly.
And it's also being expressed in an unsuitable sensing form, so my mental strength is being greatly damaged.
There are many monsters, and if there is a dungeon that looks dangerous, I quickly go in and destroy the core.
In the meantime, a flying bug also gets involved, and if I observe a shitty sight here and there, I quickly fly over to destroy it and save it...
It's just tiring in many ways.
Of course, I absolutely don't want to just give up and give up, but I can't help but miss the warm body temperature.
'I wish someone would hug me...'
But.
There's no one by my side to hug me right now. There's no body temperature, no gentle hands.
I'm holding the spirits in my arms and soothing my regret, but my fundamental thirst isn't easily quenched.
I'm alone.
This sucks.
[Fucking shit]
- Bang!
I kicked the head that was dangling next to me. The body of the man who passed out with his head sunk into the floor was thrown into a corner.
I observed the alcohol draining from his pale complexion.
It seems that this is the way to go.
After that, as I was quietly drinking the soup, the owner approached me stealthily.
“...Thank you. This guy is always acting up...”
[You deliberately put the blame on me, right? If you don't want to get tangled up in a friendly manner, shut up]
"Yes."
He's the guy who deliberately gave me this drunk. If I didn't have power? I would have gotten involved in some really shitty business.
The reason I didn't get tangled up in a friendly manner with the owner right away is because I had some business to attend to.
[Spit out information you know]
He nodded while placing the cleanly emptied bowl on the table.
Since ancient times, various information has been gathered in restaurants and bars like this.
It's not a restaurant these days, but in this aging gray area, its function remains quite strong.
[The information fee is a cost that goes beyond the rudeness just now. Or should I replace it with the magic stone buried underground here?]
"... How about that... No, it's not."
The owner, who was stammering, tried to change the subject. He probably knew that asking for nothing would be good for him.
"I don't know where you're from, but I don't have any special news."
[Don’t waste time, just tell me everything]
I sat up straight and listened, but I didn’t expect good information.
If I wanted good information, I would have found a place that handled more direct information, not a corner restaurant like this.
Or I could have opened the owner’s head and extracted the information.
The reason I didn’t do that was because I didn’t expect such good information in the first place.
‘My head hurts...’
The power of space is still manifesting in the form of detection. Thanks to this, the power of observation is rarely opened due to efficiency issues.
‘Still, I’m sure we’re getting a little closer.’
The results were quite good. Some candidates were duds, but I was starting to feel something.
The exact location is still unknown, but we must be getting closer to the entrance.
I got the hint faster than I thought. If things continue this way, I might really be able to find the entrance before vacation.
“Oh, there’s that news. The Topshin Cult is on the rise these days.”
[... Really?]
"Yes, they were really pouring out relief supplies. They even organized personnel to distribute them directly. I saw it myself."
[Hmm...]
Suddenly, my expression turned pale at the topic that came up in the owner's work.
Topshinkyo. As you can see from the name, it is a religious group, but what is unique is that the god and savior they serve is the 'top'.
'It's not that I don't understand...'
If you think about the function of the top right now, it certainly feels like the power of a god.
That doesn't mean I wanted to worship the top as a god like them...
However, it wasn't very informative. I had already heard a lot of information from my travels, and I also had information from the original.
[Hmm?]
As I was thinking that there was nothing much to see, I caught a sound at the edge of the slightly opened observation window.
A sharp and fierce flow like a sword. It had considerable magical power, and it had a familiar yet unfamiliar aura.
[It's done now]
Squeak... I got up from the wooden chair I was leaning on. The owner's face suddenly brightened.
[Of course there are no food or repair costs. If you complain about this or bother me later, I'll come and find you myself.]
"Yes, uh! Of course! I won't even open my mouth about your majesty."
Naturally, I didn't trust the words of such a merchant.
In the first place, there wasn't much that guy could say about me.
I fixed my robe and left the shabby restaurant.
'Manifestation, subspace.'
- Kkuguguk!
The shabby restaurant shook for a moment.
I swallowed the magic stones and valuables piled up in the basement of the building into subspace.
After swallowing all of the owner's assets (estimated), I walked leisurely.
