Chapter 939 – 939.Yggdrasil (7)
Namgung Yu-ha started walking right away as soon as Seong Su-ho and Midwinter left.
The reason she went out for a walk wasn’t because she felt burdened by Min Ha-yeon’s group.
“What should I say…” ?”
When Seong Su-ho returned from office work, it was because of the frustration he felt while wondering what to say.
If it had been in the past, she would never have thought about it.
All you had to do was praise him when he won and comfort him when he lost.
But I didn’t want it to end like that.
“Is there no better word… ?”
A lavish compliment that he would appreciate when he wins.
When he loses, it is the best encouragement that can make his heart cry.
I didn’t want to brush it off with just a few words.
But there was something that interfered with her worries.
“Huh…”
Namgung Yuha sat down on a park bench and sighed calmly.
“Whoa… “It’s a little better here, though.”
She had decided to take a walk around the city, but as soon as she started her walk, her regrets came flooding back.
A city where the smell of burnt smoke and blood crawls like a worm.
“As expected, I’m dizzy.”
It turned out to be an arduous walk for Namgung Yuha, who has a keener sense of smell than an ordinary person.
Fortunately, the park I happened to arrive at was able to control the unpleasant smell to some extent, although not completely.
Namgung Yuha sighed again and made a bitter expression.
“At times like this, I miss my hometown again.”
Namgung Yuha has never missed her hometown ever since she came to Yggdrasil.
For Namgung Yuha, who could not see her eyes, this Yggdrasil system was like a drug.
A convenience you can never enjoy in your hometown.
In particular, the reason she decided to stay on the third floor was because she judged that she could utilize her system optimally.
But when she came up to the fourth floor and smelled the unpleasant smell every day, she unconsciously reminded herself of her hometown.
The smell of lotus flowers floating in a lake, the smell of trees and grass in a dense forest.
I started to miss them.
But it’s also a moment to think of her hometown…
“No. I guess the 3rd floor is a much happier place…”
Although the third floor lived up to its name as a city of pleasure, some areas had unpleasant odors that Namgung Yuha disliked.
However, the third floor was also a place embraced by nature called Yggdrasil.
Thanks to this, she was always able to maintain a clear mind.
In comparison, her hometown…
“… “I don’t have a place, so it’s funny that I miss it.”
She abandoned herself.
Not a family or any organization… She had no place for Namgung Yuha, who could not see.
Although there were those who occasionally gave for themselves…
“I hope you and the other kids are doing well…”
As I thought about my old friends, Seong Su-ho started to come to mind again.
The reason why Seong Su-ho suddenly came to mind.
“… “There’s no man I’ve ever been close to.”
This was because, apart from his family, he was the only man he was close to.
Namgung Yuha is the female concubine of the Namgung family, and she is blind, so she has no choice but to forcibly stay away from men.
Namgung Yuha began to feel the sensation of her heart and dantian as he gently placed his hands on her chest and her lower abdomen.
Two beings who have been tormenting him all night.
One side was throbbing and confusing my body, and the other side was trembling and confusing my mind.
All of that…
“Seong Su-ho.”
It was a change brought about by one man.
Lately, no matter what I think, there are many cases where it ends up in Seongsu Lake.
When I thought about wanting to look ahead, it led me to thinking about wanting to see Seong Su-ho’s face first.
Although I could clearly see his expression through footbath…
“Does it really look the same? ?”
I began to be filled with the desire to see him with my real eyes.
As I sat there feeling my heart pounding and my heart pounding…
Sigh!
A bell began to ring that seemed to hit Namgung Yuha’s eardrums.
“W-what!?”
As Namgung Yuha looked around her in a hurry, a resident of the night who happened to be passing by opened his mouth with a smile.
“What? “Is this your first time hearing the bell ring?”
It was a wolf beast.
Namgung Yuha had been in frequent contact with beasts recently, so she was not overly surprised and calmed her heart.
“Joe, it was a bell…”
There were bells in her hometown, too, but not in the form of a chirping sound like that.
There was a strong feeling of grandeur shaking the ground.
In comparison, the bell ringing now is…
Sigh!
It was so clear that it made me wake up.
“Yes, there is a bell tower over there.”
“Belfry…”
I looked in the direction pointed by the beastman, but unfortunately, it was not within the range of Namgung Yuha’s walking distance.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t see you.”
“Oh my… Sorry. “There was a situation.”
Suin offered a sincere apology and explained.
“Don’t worry too much about the bell tower. Just know that it is a sound to let the residents know that it is time to go to bed.”
“Okay.”
Umbra is surrounded by darkness 24 hours a day, and even though it is a night dweller, it is not possible to perfectly guess the time by looking at the darkness.
So the bell rang like that to let the night dwellers know that it was daytime.
And for the residents here, day also meant bedtime.
“Thank you for the explanation.”
“Haha, I get all the thanks for something like this.”
Namgung Yuha was grateful for the kind prisoner’s explanation and turned her head towards the place where the bell was ringing.
Sigh!
However, I could only hear the sound, and as expected, I could not see the exterior of the bell tower.
“I wonder if… Is it okay to go near that bell tower?”
“Of course you can go. “The bell tower itself is nothing special.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
“Be careful~”
After hearing the wolf beast’s attention, Namgung Yuha nodded and got up from her bench.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Namgung Yuha was curious about what her bell tower, which awakened her own spirit, looked like.
As I continued to walk towards the place where the bell was ringing, a bell tower began to appear within the range of Balcheonbo.
White lines and planes appeared on the black drawing paper, and a long building began to come into view.
And as soon as the bell tower came into view…
Sigh!
Namgung Yuha was greeted much louder than before.
When Namgung Yuha looked up at her bell tower, a human came out of the bell tower.
“Huh? You are…”
He immediately recognized Namgung Yuha and was one of the soldiers he saw at the checkpoint when Namgung Yuha first entered the city.
“What’s going on here?”
“Ah… “While I was taking a walk, I was attracted by a loud noise.”
“Ahaha… The bell sound is loud. I don’t even want to hear it…”
“No. Rather… It’s a bit strange…”
Namgung Yuha did not disparage her bell tower, but rather explained that he came because he was curious.
After hearing Namgung Yuha’s explanation, the soldier nodded and opened his mouth.
“If you don’t mind, you can go inside and take a look.”
“Is this really okay?”
“Sure. “It’s not as big of a deal as I thought.”
According to the soldier, it did not seem to be a very important building.
Even the structure was simple.
It was a tall stone building with only a bell hanging from the top.
It was simply used to inform residents and summoners of day and night.
“It’s so noisy that residents living nearby even pray for it to collapse.”
“Even so, is it okay for me to go in alone…?” ?”
“First of all, an order has come down from above to allow anything to those who are visiting this time.”
“…”
A strange command I heard from Izanka.
It appears that this soldier also received similar orders.
Not only Seong Su-ho but also Namgung Yu-ha found that order strange.
But even though she thought it was strange, she couldn’t figure out the reason in the end.
“I would like to guide you personally, but I have to go to work right away…” .”
After answering like that, the soldier hurriedly left the place.
Namgung Yuha, left alone like that, fell into trouble.
Even though I was in charge of permission, I wondered if it was okay to go in as I pleased.
But…
“Let’s take a look for a moment.”
Namgung Yuha muttered that and slowly began to enter the building.
As the soldier said, the inside of the bell tower was nothing special.
What caught my eye inside the bell tower was a spiral staircase.
Namgung Yuha was amazed by the stairs that she had never seen before and slowly began to climb the bell tower.
The spiral staircase certainly looked simple and poorly maintained.
However, Namgung Yuha felt a sense of adventure for the first time in a long time as she encountered a type of staircase that she had never seen before, and she was able to climb the stairs happily.
So she went up for a while and the bell she came across was…
“… “The shapes of the species are similar.”
A temple in my hometown.
It was not much different from the bell in that temple.
“If possible, I’d like to hear the ringing sound like before… “That won’t work.”
Namgung Yuha continued to look at the bell, not allowing her to touch it carelessly for fear that something would happen to the bell.
As she did so, Namgung Yuha, who was watching the bell, looked around.
The world of Namgung Yuha, which appears to be a quick pace…
“… “I can’t see anything.”
Her bells and building interior structures around her were the end.
A cool breeze blew through the open space so that the sound of the bell could spread far away.
However, the wide world where the wind blows was not depicted on Namgung Yuha’s dark drawing paper.
Everything was just dark.
“Will there ever come a day when we can really see that distant sight?”
A huge mountain that I have never seen in my life, even though everyone else can see it.
A cloud whose appearance cannot be understood even after explanation.
And even the sun that no one can stare at…
Even Namgung Yuha, who learned foot cheonbo, could not even draw such beings.
Craving.
“… If I follow him, will there ever come a day when I can really see him?”
She was able to realize Namgung Yuha from the words she said.
The pounding of my heart and the sound of my heart pounding recently.
The cause is…
“I want him…” .”
She realized that she had it.
Namgung Yuha remembered the scent that Seong Su-ho gave off to her and began to picture his voice and appearance in his head.
She then took out her sword from her inventory, and for the first time, she let her emotions that had been stored inside her flow out of her mouth.
“… “I think I like it.”
Namgung Yuha blushed with a happy smile and slowly began to display her sword skills.
The swordsmanship that connected him to Seong Su-ho.
Namgung Yu-ha worked hard at her sword skills, imagining that Seongsu-ho was watching her right next to her.
She didn’t want to show that she was lacking anything.
Namgung Yoo-ha, who showed off all the sword skills she taught Seong Su-ho…
“Whoa… “I’m finally calming down.”
She was able to silence the desires and desires she had built up over the years.
Namgung Yuha felt all her emotions returning to their original state and she made up her mind.
“This will help me regain my composure…”
She resolved to never reveal her feelings to Seong Su-ho.
Namgung Yuha smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“As her father said… “It’s a sin for a woman like me to like someone.”
Namgung Yuha calmed her mind and looked around her again.
Even though her mind was calm, she could not picture a single thing about the outside environment except the bell and the objects around her.
She was still frustrated, but it was such a dark drawing that she could tolerate it because it was such a familiar scene.
Namgung Yuha smiled as she looked at that darkness.
“Now let’s get ready to go back.”
It was the moment when Namgung Yuha gathered her heart and prepared to return.
Shooooo!
“Huh?”
An unfamiliar sound I’ve never heard before.
The noise spreading around the area got closer and closer…
Kwaaaaa!
“Huhhh!?”
As it fell somewhere, it began to cause a massive earthquake in Namgung Yuha’s building.
Namgung Yuha was startled by the suddenly shaking building and immediately grabbed the railing.
“W-what happened!?”
While I was so confused, more sounds came out this time.
?Ouuuuung! Quack! Kwakwakwak!!!
“Keuuuuut!”
No matter how much she learned footwork or new techniques, she could not easily correct her posture on such a turbulent floor.
Especially if it’s a blind person who can’t see…
“Bah, step foot…” !”
Namgung Yuha held on to her railing and positioned her to resume her steps.
But before her efforts bear fruit…
Pakkang!!
“Huh!”
The railing that Namgung Yu-ha was holding on to was broken by her earthquake, causing her to fall down her spiral staircase.
As Namgung Yuha fell to the floor, she tried her best to somehow grab hold of objects around her.
But before her eyes…
“Oh, I can’t see it… !”
With her feet in the air, Namgung Yuha could not see anything.
“Hey, first of all, let’s fall!”
Even though Namgung Yuha was not visible, she somehow twisted her body and tried to land on the floor.
However, because it came up in a spiral shape earlier, I couldn’t remember the exact distance from the floor.
To make matters worse…
Puck!
“Kkeuch!”
The moment he was about to perform the fall technique, a rock flew from somewhere and hit his leg.
And Namgung Yuha suffered an accident that happened in such a short moment…
Clap!
Crashed to the floor.
..
..
It clearly fell to the floor.
But strangely enough, as soon as I felt the pain of falling to the floor…
‘This place… Where… ?’
A happy feeling, like lying in a cozy bed, began to permeate her entire body.
She had the feeling that she wanted to sleep here for the rest of her life.
‘I just want to sleep…’
It was a moment when the warmth slowly seeped into me with my eyes closed.
“Master!!”
“Huh?”
Namgung Yu-ha was lying on her cozy bed when she saw Seong-su-ho extending his hand towards her from above.
Seong Soo-ho earnestly extended her hand towards herself.
It was as if they were trying to drag Namgung Yuha, who was happily lying on his bed, into the darkness.
If she had been Namgoong Yu before, she would have felt repulsed upon seeing him and she would have ignored his earnest appearance.
But now Namgung Yuha…
‘Ruler… ‘You have to catch it.’
Rather, she rolled off the bed of happiness and stretched out her arm to hold Seong Su-ho’s hand.
As he stretched out his arms, the bed that had happily enveloped him…
‘Hmm!’
It started to pull itself in like a swamp.
The bed had already become something completely different from happiness.
He just pulled her as if he was going to eat her Namgung Yuha.
‘Ah… No… As it is…’
Namgung Yuha is gradually dragged into the bed.
As her disgust and nausea seeped into her body, Namgung Yuha began to consume her spirit as well.
‘Ah… I am…’
This was the moment when Namgung Yuha was sucked into the bed and lost consciousness.
“Come to your senses!!”
“!?”
Seongsu-ho grabbed his hand, which was the only one holding out, and pulled himself out of the bed.
And as soon as he pulled like that, Seong Su-ho hugged Namgung Yu-ha and shouted.
“Are you okay!?”
“Uh?”
Namgung Yu-ha, who was hugged by Seong Su-ho, shouted at the same time…
“Uh… ?”
Suddenly, my vision went black and I felt like I was being hugged by someone.
What was certain was that the place I was now was not on the bed I had been on before.
Namgung Yuha is blind.
But in Namgung Yuha’s dark space…
“Phew… “I’m so glad you came to your senses.”
“…”
Strangely enough, I could see Seong Su-ho clearly.
Namgung Yu-ha, who was feeling pain while being hugged by Seong Su-ho, concentrated all her concentration and opened her mouth.
“I… Excuse me…”
“… ?”
And she barely got her word out.
“Bimmu… “Did you do well?”
