Chapter 657 – 650 Celestial Emperor
While Hwan-yeon received healing from A-young, women were looking at hundreds of pretty outfits wearing aura-concealing necklaces.
= Wow. Unnie Yul, when did you make clothes like this?=
Adding to the exaggeration, the women’s eyes widen at the amount of clothes that fill up half the room.
In addition to party dresses, clothes such as one-piece, two-piece, pants and skirts, tees, shirts, blouses, coats, jackets, and vests are neatly arranged on hangers by type, and other accessories such as capes, shawls, mufflers, belts, and hats There are also a lot of things.
I don’t feel that any of them are made roughly. Each suit is of a luxury class, from material to finish, enough to be worn by aristocrats.
Watching the women happily choosing clothes, Yurpa replied while preparing clothes for herself.
= A little bit as a hobby? I was making one for the ladies because I wanted to wear it on a date with myself…=
Yurpa’s eyes became vague as she spoke, and Isilite and Anne’s gazes at her clothes became affectionate.
She has no complaints about him. He can have no complaints. But what to say… Would he say that he wants to go on a date with him wearing pretty clothes?
Except for the festival date at the Farghist Grand Festival, all I did was walk around hard and say I was busy.
As such, the women were delighted with Hwanin’s proposal and changed into clothes that they liked, or asked for advice.
Even Yurpa, who used to wear robes similar to slips, emphasized her unusual cuteness by wearing a spring-like pink lace blouse, a white side-slit skirt, and a thin cape suitable for spring.
In preparation for an unexpected battle, Isilite and Anne chose long tees or round-neck shirts and plain leggings-like pants, and put on coats or crochet shawls on top of them to show off their style to the fullest while guaranteeing activity.
Wearing a white knit shirt and gray pants that are not strange even if they have a dragon’s tail, they appeal to their figure from the top and their cuteness from the bottom…
= Ah Young. Aren’t you wearing too much? I think this will suit you better.=
Ayeong, who had finished her phantom treatment, was wearing jeans, a thick sweatshirt, gloves, and even a hat to wrap her skin tightly, so Yu Lepa put on other pretty clothes and approached.
A purple off-shoulder shirt, high-waisted skirt, gray knit cardigan and black long boots for a slightly daily look. It’s a confident piece that goes well with Ah-young’s slim body and her lavender-colored hair.
However, Ayeong looked at the clothes with a sullen cat expression, and she wrapped her body tighter.
= I get motion sickness when I expose my skin in crowded places. To be honest, I want to wear a mask…=
= Oh. Ah…=
At the sigh of the women’s regret, Ah-young smiled cheerfully and shrugged her shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
=But it’s the first time everyone goes out to play, so it’s good! To be honest, I thought of an ending where I lived alone my whole life, and one day I failed in assassination and had my head cut off and hung up on the castle gate. But you don’t know how good it is to have so many unnies and oppas. It’s literally heaven.=
=That’s right.=
It is less uncomfortable to turn such uncomfortable subjects around.
The women, laughing awkwardly, looked for a suitable topic and focused their attention on Norse Linen, who was snooping down her hanger in a plain white dress.
That’s it.
= Uh… So, is Norle the only one left? Come here, change your clothes!=
“What? Uh?”
= How about this? Aren’t her knee-length shorts cute? =
= Doesn’t a flowing skirt look better on her long hair than shorts? =
= Oh, sisters. It’s nice that only the shoulders are slightly exposed.
=Because of the wings, I need a back opening, so I can’t do that.=
It was to change the subject, but the women who tried on Norslinen’s body quickly became obsessed with changing clothes.
Her body proportions were so good and her face and body were cute, so she looked good no matter what kind of clothes she wore.
The slightly larger clothes are cute by folding the sleeves or trouser hem according to the larger clothes, and the slightly larger skirts also look really good as they become fluttering long skirts.
Norse Linen, who had become a doll that snooped around and changed clothes, looked dissatisfied with the touch of the women, then struggled with her limbs and flapped her wings in annoyance at the endless changes.
“Stop! It’s cramped! No!”
= Oh wait! Hey, your clothes are torn!=
= Noel. Finally, wear only this one. If you dress up nicely, Doryeong might pet you and praise you for being cute!
“… A friend?」
Norse Linen’s gaze moved to the dress Anne was wearing.
A white-green two-tone lace button dress with pleated volume on her shoulders. It’s a cute outfit with wrinkles on the skirt that gives off a student-like feel.
= Yes. Wow~ pretty pretty~. Right?=
= That’s right. So cute!=
=If you wear it, your brother will surely love it!=
“…」
When the other women nodded and agreed to Anne’s instigation, Norse Linen smiled with her sullen expression.
To be honest, she couldn’t tell the difference between this and that, but she did know one thing.
That her friend’s girls don’t lie.
“I want to ask you! Hwanin~!」
Procrastinatingly dressed, Norse Linen spurred through her quadang-door and ran out, while Anne and Yurpa giggled inside her and, startled, she hurriedly followed.
It’s not possible, but if her Hwanin reacted vaguely, the anger of Norse Linen, who became her dressing doll, would pour out on them.
“What is going on?”
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
Whatever happened during that brief moment of chasing, in the living room, Norse Linen was sitting quietly on her phantom’s thigh, being stroked with her satisfied face.
= It’s nothing. Isn’t Noel so cute? All of the clothes fit so well that it was hard to decide what to wear~.=
“Okay. I think you also like the boyish feeling. Is it Yurpa’s work?”
= Yes. Because I’m making all the clothes the girls wear!=
“Somehow, the design seemed familiar. It’s nice to see that the pretty concept suits Yurpa well.”
The two women laughed lightly as their hearts tickled at Hwanin’s softly smiling compliment.
It’s just a normal impression, but why is my heart so warm?
After that, Hwanin left the house with her girlfriends who had enhanced her beauty with makeup and permeated the streets full of people and cheerful music.
Not only ordinary citizens, but also soldiers and occasional knights who stood out did not recognize Hwanin and his party.
Because the women wore necklaces that concealed the aura, and Hwanin and Baekryeogang partially changed their appearances with magical tools that changed their appearance.
Occasionally, some men were jealous of the sight of an ordinary blond half-fleur man carrying six transcendent beauties, but that was all, so the group freely walked around the plaza and enjoyed sightseeing.
=Wow, the altar is really grand. Are you going to hold a heavenly rite over there tomorrow?=
= Yes. This time, it was said that Regent Teiamus was known to be living with His Majesty Nilvina, so it was more elaborate.
The size of the altar installed on one side of the plaza with a diameter of 500 m was 20 m in width and 10 m in height, so it could be seen at a glance from a distance.
It’s not just the size, it’s divided into three tiers, and each tier has a mythical story handed down in Palatum, engraved with various carvings and patterns.
Even at a glance, luxurious purple carpets are widely spread around the altar, and the back of the altar is filled with intricately patterned panels like folding screens, making it look like a mountain.
Around such a plaza, tents and stalls of various fields are set up, attracting tourists and entertainment guests, and in various places in the large plaza, members who seem to have come out of a musicians’ union turn on their music and dance and mingle with people.
Even the people he hangs out with are not ordinary attire.
Half of the crowd walking around the plaza are dressed in gray-white robes, and some are walking around with their entire bodies dyed gray-white, perhaps dressed as spirits.
It is a look to enjoy a kind of festival called Seungryeongcheonje, like Halloween.
The square is full of people, enough to run into other people if you walk around without paying attention, as children are laughing and running around with gray paint on their faces.
Hwanin also enjoyed the festival by walking around the festival streets with his girlfriends.
Hwanin thought that people always think the same when they get together.
We went to see street circuses, strength shows, spectacular juggling demonstrations, small theaters and open-air theaters to see plays such as the founding myth of Hethrond and the heroes of Palatum.
Then, if there is a restaurant that smells delicious, I go there and enjoy the food.
Although the sky is full of clouds and it is gloomy, everyone doesn’t care about that and is happily enjoying the festive atmosphere.
After wandering around and having fun for several hours, the group took a break at an open-air bar.
While licking the ice cream Hwanin bought for her, Baek Ryeo-gang noticed that several Flavians were flying leisurely and flying to the second-floor cafe terrace across the street, and asked Ah-yeong.
= Ayoung. Are stores like that only for the Koreans or the Flavians? The first floor is completely blocked by walls.=
= Huh? Uh, right Stores like that one, where the first floor is completely blocked off by a wall, are usually run by racists. An inferior species that cannot fly should not even come.
= Wow…=
If it was Earth, it wouldn’t be strange to be beaten up on social media and go through the closing procedure, but the people around and the women of Hwanin were seriously discussing what the food at this store would be delicious with a face that said there was nothing surprising.
Isilite, who fed her Hwanin with her own share of spicy grilled skewers, asked while looking at her Ayeong.
= The 1st floor is all blocked off, so what do you do with food ingredients and alcohol? Flying to take it is too inefficient.=
= In cases like that, you get it through the back door. If the owner is a serious discriminatory person, there are times when he even lifts it up with a crane or something, but there are very few shops like that in the first place. Most of them operate separately on the first floor and on the second floor like this store.
= What is the reason for discriminating against customers like that? I don’t understand.=
= Miss Dew is also true. Is there a good or bad reason? Usually, it is discrimination to prioritize her own feelings and despise anything that escapes her eyes.
After calling the waiter and ordering, Yurpa smiled and said, and the women nodded.
When Yu Lepa, who was born as a sucking tribe and had lived most of her life in discrimination, said that, her persuasive power was amazing.
Whether or not, Norslinen, who had been sitting next to Hwanin holding a meat skewer in both hands and eating recklessly, sucked up the meat scraps and seasoning left on the stick, then grabbed Hwanin’s hand and begged him.
“I want to eat spicy meat skewers again.”
“I just ordered it, so just wait and it will come out.”
“Huh!”
Anne asked if she was happy that something delicious was coming out again, laughing at Norslinen’s smiling face.
=Noel, do you really like spicy food and meat?=
“I like meat! Spicy is good too! I really like how the two come together!”
=More than Doryong?=
“A friend is a friend.”
Are you an idiot? Angered by her expression, Anne pounced on the Norse linen.
While they were tangled up laughing and playing around, Ah-young put her elbow on her table and spoke with a rather serious face.
= I speak my mind. I think Norslinen’s nickname doesn’t suit him.=
= Huh?=
=That’s hard to pronounce, right? I’m also a fleur, but I don’t think the rothik unique to Merianol is real.
= Yes… ? I thought it was cute…=
It was Ayoung who was taken aback when Anne became sullen.
= Oh no, that’s not it! Since Bibi-gi has become so pretty and she has been given a good name, she decided to take this opportunity to give her a nickname that is cuter, prettier, and goes well with her! No wonder Norle is weird!=
= No. I agree with Ahyoung’s words. I passed because Anne liked it, but I still wonder why I became Dew. Yuri unnie’s yul can be meaningful if you shorten it by two letters, right?=
If that’s the case, Baeknyeogang should be ‘Bal’ and Ayeong should be ‘Ang’, but when it comes down to it, Baeknyeogang should be called Ryeogang, and Ahyeong should be called Ayoung by the same name.
In response to Isilite’s question, all the women except Anne nodded, saying yes, and Anne protested, blushing.
= You are cute! Dew Seul is many times cuter than Lee Sil-i Lee Sil-ah! But if you call her Isilite, she feels stiff again! =
= Me?! Isn’t Ayoung hard?!=
=Your name is too short to shorten. Ryogang is… Shall I call you Bell from now on? Bell is cute.=
=Hhh.=
= Ahahaha…=
“She usually gives her nicknames or nicknames because she thinks she is cute.”
Anne’s face brightens at her Hwanin’s supporting fire. No, she was flattered to have his support on her back. But even that doesn’t last long.
“Still, Noel thinks it’s a bit difficult for me to pronounce too.”
= Well. Is it? Norle seemed fine…=
“To row. Emergency is better.”
=…=
Seeing Anne stretching her shoulders, the women giggled and patted her shoulders and back.
=Then give me a nickname.=
A face where you can clearly see how well you build it. Hwanin took a few bites of the cold beer he ordered.
“Usually taking a few letters from a name is normal. Like Lillie, Linen, and Norn. Among them, Norn is also a name for the goddess of fate, so wouldn’t it be good in an ambiguous way?”
= Oh. Are all three good? In particular, I feel that Ruri has become rather cute because of the redundant Lotik.
= That’s right All three are good, but I think Norn is the best. Goddess of Fate… Is your side?=
“Yes.”
= Ugh, I lost… I think Norn is good too. Yul and I voted for Norn, and Ayoung voted for Ruri. What do you like about dew and bell?=
= I…=
= Me too…=
Hwanin turned his gaze toward the plaza where the altar was built, thinking that Le Lierani, if she mispronounced her, she would be called to a foreign press.
It feels like a crowd has been gathering over there since earlier… Hwan-in calls a lady passing by and gives her a tip of a fairy tale, asking what she is doing there.
= Ah, the eve starts in a few hours. The palace orchestra from Cheonwanggung comes out a few hours early to practice and play the song.
Is it music If it’s a palace music band, I think I’ll be able to listen to it quite a bit…
He became interested in the performance of the royal palace orchestra, but as soon as he realized that he had to listen among the crowd to hear the music as it seemed to be playing in front of an altar, Hwanin’s interest naturally faded.
=Three votes for Norn, two votes for Lely, and one vote for Line. By majority vote, Norslinen’s nickname was decided as Norn!=
Norslinen’s nickname was naturally decided as Norn, since Yurpa, Anne, and Baekryogang chose Norn, Isilite and Ayeong chose Leli, and Waking Hwanyeon chose Linen.
Despite being in the position to decide her own nickname, Norn showed great interest only in meat dishes and was focused on attacking, and the women also laughed and chatted and enjoyed the food and drinks that continued to come out.
I took a look around the festival street and enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed it. From now on, it’s time for drinking and meat drinking.
The women continued to order drinks, snacks, and cooking, and enjoyed drinking and dancing, and a bard with a beautiful voice, who might be a hired singer at an open-air bar, plays upbeat music to add to the excitement.
Then, from the side of the altar, a sound like the music of an orchestra began to resonate loudly, and the minstrel jumped on the bandwagon and heated up the atmosphere even more.
Hwanin also quietly enjoyed this moment.
The female friends take turns sitting next to Hwanin, leaving their seats, using the bathroom as an excuse and ordering as an excuse, as if they were going around each other while telling Ah-young, who had just joined the party, stories of her old adventures and telling their own stories.
While groping and touching the sides and lower breasts of the girlfriends who switched places like that, and occasionally unraveling stories from Earth, while having a time of memories with the girlfriends.
Creepy—
Hwanin felt the tingling sensation in his back and the alcohol energy that had risen little by little dispersed and disappeared in an instant.
“… ?”
It is still a long time before the sun sets, so the son-in-law is bright. But what kind of chills are you talking about all of a sudden?
She leaned slightly towards the railing and looked up at the sky, but the clouds were a bit denser than when she left the house, so she couldn’t see what was happening beyond.
“…”
There was no threatening feeling from the chills I had just had. It was just a slight thrill, like the anticipation of something great coming.
Hwanin, who was lost in thought for a moment about what to do, narrowed his eyes at the story of Norn, who had crossed over to the other side before he knew it.
“Hwanin. Something unpleasant is swarming on the mountain side.”
“You feel bad. Is it a heterogeneous species?”
“Huh. Hyungjong Lee!」
At Norn’s cry, the women’s expressions instantly became serious.
It was the story of illusion that fed the decisive blow there.
「Hwanin. The Knights of the Rising Sea of Clouds Labyrinth are busy, but there is a sense of urgency… Oh! It must be a labyrinth reflux! Monsters are pouring out!”
=… !=
=… ?!=
One thing passed through the minds of Hwanin and the women.
The core’s spare body brought from the labyrinth.
It must be that the labyrinth, which has been deprived of its reserve core, is running out of control and pouring all its energy into forming heterogeneous species and sending them out.
“Go back.”
When Hwanin rose from his seat and the women stood up without hesitation, the sound of a siren buzzing—weiing—weiying—sharp yet stimulating people’s anxiety began to reverberate through the city.
He didn’t say anything about whether the women had to go to help. Hwanin didn’t even say that he was going to help.
It’s not something they’ll do without a word. The first step is to see how the Palatum royal family responds.
If the royal family asks for help, then you can step in and help. If you can’t deal with it and start dealing heavy damage, then you can move.
Until then, they just quietly prepare and wait at home.
It was when Hwan-in, who had paid for what he had eaten at the street stalls that were getting a little confused by the buzz of customers, was crossing the plaza to go home with the women.
Coo-kung-!
As soon as a heavy vibration passed under my feet, a flock of black birds like black clouds began to soar rapidly into the sky from the side of the labyrinth.
If you look at the numbers, there are thousands of them.
At the same time, the sound of the siren got stronger and Flavian knights and soldiers flew from all over the place.
As troops could be seen flying from Mt. Seoju and Mt. Dongju, tension exploded over the plaza as if a war had broken out.
Adventurers and explorers also noticed the seriousness of the situation and took out weapons from their subspace pockets or waist belts, and the citizens of the plaza calmly evacuated, covering their mouths with shaking eyes.
The thin reason of the crowd seemed to burst and break at the slightest impact.
As Hwanin felt it and suppressed the goosebumps of excitement, another chill covered him.
This time, it wasn’t a chill that briefly rose up and disappeared down his spine, but rather covered his whole body.
Hwanin, who stopped walking and stood tall, raised his head. At that moment, the eyes of the soul are automatically activated, and golden light explodes in all directions.
It was his women who were frightened and astonished.
=Isulah!=
= Yes! Ayoung is standing there! Yuri unnie and Ryegang go inside!=
Isilite, Anne, and Ayeong formed a triangular formation with Hwanin at the center and took out weapons from their pockets in the subspace.
While the citizens are shocked and distanced from them…
=What is that, that thing?!=
=The sky, the sky split!!=
= Aaah!!=
One corner of the gray cloud opened wide, and beyond that, I could see a dark gray cloud swirling violently.
A strange phenomenon that is perfect for people with weak mental powers to pass out.
… Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo -—
If it had not been for the holy and sacred cries of the whale that resounded just in time, there would have been great chaos in the plaza.
