Earthlings of another world (3)
“I will introduce myself once again. My name is Seah. nice to meet you.”
Inside the hospital room left alone.
She greeted him again with her usual aloof face.
“Ah, I am Hesperon…”
“Wait. Can I ask you to use your real name instead of that pseudonym?”
“Your real name… is that what you mean?”
“Actually, it would be funny to argue about that in another world. But since it’s the first time I’m greeting people from my hometown, I want to be more ‘properly’ clear. Well, you can think of it as a kind of catering.”
When she said so openly, Hesperon soon realized her intention and nodded in agreement.
“As expected, you were the Earthling that Riley introduced you to. Actually, I’ve been thinking about it ever since I heard the name.”
“Hmm, I guess you were Korean too?”
“ah! This is Ha Seung-hoon. It’s been a little over two months since I came here after living in Seoul. Ahahahaha!”
Note that this name was not just a pseudonym.
Because it was one of the really proper identities that even existed in the government’s computer information, saved through Heterosis, who became a big hand in Seoul’s underworld.
It wasn’t too difficult to take care of such trivial details as long as you had the strength and power.
“I have been coming here for 8 years already. A lot has happened in the meantime… Oh, thank you once again. Actually, it was the hardest time since Riley was kidnapped.”
“Nothing to say, because I also received a lot of help. If it wasn’t for Riley, I would have been stuck in it for the rest of my life, not knowing anything!”
After saying hello again, they became more and more speechless and began to talk lively.
Even Lee Se-ah, who seemed to keep a little distance at first, couldn’t find such a side later.
Whatever it was, she was a person who fell into another world at a young age and endured for eight years.
No matter how much he felt less lonely by being with Princess Riley, he couldn’t help but miss his hometown, which he had suddenly left.
In such a situation, it was only natural that I was glad to meet the district, a person from Korea.
Even more so, he received great help and had a basic liking, so what more to say.
“So Mr. Heron is now twenty years old?”
And the conversation that led to this and that topic naturally flowed to the age.
In fact, since the census of Hesperon was also one of the purposes, that was her intention from the beginning, but the problem was his next question.
“Yes. Come to think of it, how old is Seah Lee? Well, it’s a little too young, but if Riley calls her older sister, she’ll be at least twenty… Huh? But since you said you came 8 years ago…”
As he tilted his eyes and blinked, Lee Se-ah hesitated for a moment.
For a moment, she was suddenly confused as to how old she should be.
First of all, I came here when I was 18, so 8 years later, I must have been 26 years old.
Obviously, you could say he’s older than that.
However, when she returns to Earth, she will soon be 18 years old, ahead of her 19 years old.
Also, if you meet him later on Earth, can you still say that you are older?
“S…”
“S?”
“I’m twenty-six.”
However, after frowning and pondering for a moment, she soon realized that it didn’t mean much and confidently continued.
No matter how much you do, you can’t introduce yourself as ’18 years old (9 years old)’!
Also, since age was originally a unit for counting ‘years lived’, it was enough to think about the later things later.
I will be a teacher who will teach him in the future, but I didn’t want to make things complicated like this for no reason.
“Ahahahaha! Is this fun? Somehow, I thought it was a bit excessive, but it must have been because I was a 9th year high school student!”
However, Hesperon, who inferred her transmitted age from that answer, laughed excitedly without even noticing.
It was a very informal laugh as if he had become more comfortable while talking.
“Kuhmm, Mr. Heron?”
In the end, Seah Lee cleared her throat lightly and winked at him.
Even so, as if he had an intention to respect his age, he made a big smile and stuck to the honorifics, but he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable about it.
“Ah— I’m sorry about this. Just because it’s curious. Actually, when I said that Riley was a cute and lovely sister, I thought so, but she definitely does!”
“Heron…?”
However, it seemed that his inner intimacy was greater than she thought.
Even though I called him twice and gave him notice, I saw that he was laughing as if he was making a pleasant joke.
“But honestly, judging from her appearance, she looks more like a middle school student than a high school student…”
“Shut up!”
Isea added a bold line to the contents of Hesperon’s investigation recorded in her head.
This person, his eyes are not even dirty.

As always, the dark side of immortality.
“You ran away? Newcomer… here? Did you take the princess with you too?”
Andrew Weaver, another district of Auterica, muttered blankly.
Today, I heard the news a little late while living a life that was hit by work as usual, and what I came across was shocking.
“how?”
It seemed that he knew what method was used.
Because there was no other way other than the unique skill.
However, it was completely incomprehensible that a rookie who had only been transmitted for less than two months had done it.
“…was he a better guy than I thought?”
In many ways, things were twisted, so I had no chance to meet him except when he was first caught, but I never imagined that he would be that capable.
Seeing that even his [trajectory observation], which he used out of curiosity, couldn’t catch it clearly, it seems that he wrote something else in the meantime.
‘In addition, for some reason, the Undead Army doesn’t show any signs of trying to track it down.’
Does it matter because there is a prince anyway?
Perhaps the Immortal King was simply considering this incident as part of a game.
“Huh—that guy is really lucky. At first, I thought it was pitiful.”
Now that she had succeeded in escaping, the princess was no longer just a prisoner.
It becomes a golden connection that is the most influential candidate for emperor of the empire.
Aside from even simply setting the ball for her escape, isn’t the hardships that they overcame together a staple material that makes some sort of emotion sprout between a man and a woman?
It was embarrassing in many ways.
‘Tsk, someone’s fighting with the crazy ones and the undead.’
But Andrew just lightly clicked his tongue and shook his head.
If it had been before, he might have struggled with soaring envy.
When you wither day by day due to hard work, it was no different from the things you did in a comfortable place and ran away after all.
But no longer did he have to envy them.
The long-awaited—the day has finally come!

“Huh… heh heh heh!”
The number of cases he intervened as a member of the Covenant of Reversal was by no means small.
Among them, the most representative and large-scale event was opening the door to the abyss and contributing to spreading ‘madness’ to the continent.
At that time, he received fewer points than expected, so it was just the fourth reinforcement of his unique skill, but as time passed and the damage from it gradually accumulated, the karma that came to him also began to increase.
In addition, even in the affairs he had been involved in for several years, settlements were being made steadily, albeit in small ways, and recently he was even exploited by Olivia through harsh labor…
‘Nine years… was long.’
It wasn’t so strange that the results finally appeared.
After giggling on the spot for a while, he looked around with a much more relaxed mind.
Now that I thought I had a way to escape at any time, I was able to appreciate the normally breathtaking scene of immortality as if I was visiting a haunted house.
Afterwards, he leisurely wandered around the castle and performed his own farewell ceremony.
Not to mention the 1st residential district full of madmen, as well as the towering spire.
He snooped everywhere he could and left his mark everywhere.
-Andrew Weaver came and went.
“Whoa, I think I’m almost done.”
He smiled contentedly at the words written in crooked English on the corner of the wall.
It was a terrible place to the point of being sick of it, but I still think I won’t be able to see it forever…
[Andrew…? Office hours have passed, what are you still doing here…? You should be well aware that there is no free time until the quota is met…]
At that time, Olivia appeared like a ghost in front of him, who was soaked in emotion.
“Ugh!”
gulp.
Andrew flinched at the sudden appearance and instinctively lowered his eyes.
He had nothing to fear now, but it was inevitable that he would shrink involuntarily when he faced her, who was no different from a death god.
‘No, isn’t this the last anyway? No matter what I do, I won’t be able to do anything anymore!’
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
More than anything, I didn’t want to be seen babbling like this until the very end, as I was about to leave.
How many things have been attached to her in the meantime!
It would have been the best ending to pour out everything accumulated at this point and leave this world lightly.
Having made that resolution, he proudly straightened his back, raised his head, and looked straight at her…
He met the blurry eyes that were quietly staring at him, and immediately lowered his eyes again.
‘Come to think of it, this monster can tear me apart on the spot if I even show signs of doing something, right? Would it be wise to act rashly in front of them?’
At first, I planned to spurn ridicule and ridicule him in the face, but if I did that, I felt like my limbs would be ripped off before I could really escape.
I won’t kill you as much as I’ve been working hard to prove my usefulness, so I might be able to run away later, but…
‘…I want to return safely.’
However, it was too unfair to leave without saying anything.
It’s the last chance that won’t come forever, but if you just let this go, you’ll have to live with a lump in your heart for the rest of your life.
‘Okay, let’s just say a few simple words and jump right away. It’s at an ambiguous level to use your hands right away. That much would be fine.’
He took a deep breath and smeared saliva on his lips.
Then, preparing to run away immediately, he raised his head again and looked at Olivia.
[Andrew…? Can’t you hear me…? After all, should I rip off those useless ears and shoot the thoughts directly into the brain…?]
She looked at him sadly and whispered softly.
I almost shrank again at those words, but Andrew gritted his teeth and held on, shouting proudly.
“That···!”
[···That?]
“It’s been dirty since we’ve been together, so let’s not see each other again? It was much better when I was working with Sianna, but you’re not even up to your toes in everything other than working? Oh, and whenever I hear engineering students stretching their tails, it sucks!”
He was so nervous that he took notes for a while, but in the end he succeeded in pouring out the words he wanted to say.
Although the water level went down a lot for being frightened and keeping the line in its own way, that unexpected rebellion was enough to embarrass Olivia.
Besides, he even brought in Shiana, whom he wasn’t very close with…
Damn—!
In an instant, the temperature dropped below freezing, and energy from all directions began to boil.
[You, by any chance, went mad because of dark magic…]
In addition, the moment when Olivia with an unusual expression was about to say something cool.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Then I go! Look for it wherever you can find it!”
Andrew, who had been feeling energetic all of a sudden, smiled coolly and threw his last greeting.
and right after that.
His figure disappears from immortality.
[ah···?]
Olivia, who had lost someone to vent her anger on and was left alone, had no choice but to remain in a daze for a while.
After that, he came to his senses and immediately released the ghosts to start searching for Andrew…
Of course, no trace of him, who had already crossed the dimension and moved to Earth, was found anywhere.

Los Angeles, USA.
“under! Ha ha ha ha! Ah— how cool it is! It’s a little disappointing, but it’s not bad at all! hahahahaha!”
Andrew, who emerged from the basement of the house where he had first been transported, was busy laughing, giving no time to be thrilled that he had returned to Earth.
It was because Olivia, who always looked down on him with a sense of intimidation, was so good in his eyes that he couldn’t help laughing.
In addition, thinking about giving up after wandering around looking for oneself for a long time is also exhilarating.
She knows that he is from another world, so she will eventually accept the reality, but the search will not be easily stopped due to the unknown possibility.
“Ha ha ha ha ha?”
But his laughter, which seemed to last forever, did not last very long.
Just a little bit, because there was something that bothered me.
“Um…why is this? Is it really like this?”
The prohibition planted by the Immortal King was still active and remained in his head.
No, for some reason, I felt a stronger connection now than when I was in Auterica.
‘Ah, no way.’
He smiled awkwardly and quietly wiped away the cold sweat that was slowly dripping down his face.
Apparently, the ban was originally like this.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but since there’s no subject to give orders to, it’s not a problem…
[Whoah— is it on Earth, Andrew Weaver?]
That moment.
A voice that he thought he would never hear again shook his mind.
“ah?”
His heart thumped and sank, and he stiffened, just like the awkward smile on his face.
Fear slowly started to build up on his face.
“Uh, huh? wait… wait wait wait…! this is not it! This, uh, this is different…!”
[Andrew Weaver.]
“ah-.”
A word containing the absolute will of the ‘owner’ made him speechless.
It was an undeniable manifestation of the taboo.
[Keukkeu— I needed a hand, but it turned out well. Welcome to Earth.]
That’s how Andrew Weaver finally succeeded in running away from Hell.
When he arrived there was no serenity he had hoped for.
