212 – 75. End of the war (1)
“Hand.”
Elijah said, holding out her palm.
Then the dog, named Wangjeom because she was the mother of spotted puppies, tapped her front paw. I put it up.
“Good job.”
Elijah smiled and stroked the king’s mole and gave him a piece of roasted sweet potato that he had brought as a snack.
“Now eat.”
Wangjeom ate the roasted sweet potatoes in a hurry.
King Jeom-gi’s puppies, who were waiting next to her, flinched and pushed her head down.
Elijah raised her hand and said,
“No. Sit down. Wait.”
“Aww….”
“Kkiwoong….”
Even though I was whining, I sat down and waited for one point, two points, and three points.
Meanwhile, Hwang Jeom, who had the strongest appetite, did not go back and stopped to look around.
“Oh my, this guy.”
Yudas, who was taking care of the puppies next to him, dragged Hwangjeom away.
“If this continues, they will grow up to be pigs, not dogs.”
Even though he said that, Hwangjeom was panting and wagging his tail as if he was happy.
“I still need to teach Hwangjeom separately.”
“Wow. “I should do that.”
While Judah was holding the yellow spot, Elijah was training her puppies.
The training was to give a snack if you gave the front paw when doing the hand.
The only thing that is different from usual is that while one animal is in progress, the next one has to wait.
Elijah was happy while playing with her dogs’ paws, while she was amazed.
It’s not just today.
It’s amazing every time.
‘How do I understand what is being said?’
The language of dogs and humans is different.
I’m not even sure if there is such a thing as a dog language in the first place.
But dogs understand what people say.
It is not simply about learning signals such as hand and sit through food or snacks.
They understand even words or instructions they hear for the first time.
Even if it’s not perfect.
It is not as good as UL, but simple communication is possible.
That was truly amazing.
It’s not just these kids who are amazing.
My own feelings and mind experiencing this kind of experience are also amazing.
Every time these cute little things understand, follow, and carry out what you say, a warm feeling blooms in a corner of your heart.
I felt like I was learning that the world was worth living in and getting to know the beautiful side of the world.
Most of the experiences that occupied her childhood were of the exact opposite nature of this.
The world is infinitely harsh, cruel, and absurd.
There is no such thing as value or right to live.
But just seeing these spotted birds makes me feel like there is enough value in the world.
I realize and learn every day.
Ultimately, it is the virtue of Judah.
“Stop eating. “You ate too much.”
From noble mtl dot com
Hwangjeom is aiming for the roasted sweet potatoes and Yuda is trying to protect them.
Looking at the two, Elijah smiled happily.
If it weren’t for that man, he would never have felt or learned these emotions.
You can be sure.
However, after meeting Judah, she learns and realizes many things.
It’s funny that there were times when she felt bored because there was nothing more to learn in the world.
There are still so many things I don’t know, and there are even more things I want to find out.
“Huh? Ellie?”
As she was staring, Judas and her eyes met.
“Do you have something to say?”
“Hung.”
“What is it?”
“I love you.”
Judah grinned at the sudden confession.
“I know enough without saying anything.”
“Still, I want to tell you every day.”
Judah came up to me while holding the yellow spot and kissed him.
“Me too. I love you so much.”
“Hmm.”
Elijah was stroking the yellow-spotted cat in Judah’s arms and tilted her head.
“I want to love Judah more, but what should I do?”
“Hmm…. “It’s the same for me, so it’s a little bit difficult.”
“You’ll have to work hard not to catch up.”
“Keep this in mind, Your Majesty.”
Judas responded playfully to her and kissed her again.
Elijah smiled, feeling his touch and enjoying the body heat of her and her dogs.
Because of Judas, we understand.
How beautiful this world can be.
Who am I?
How much I can be loved and how much I can love.
I learn and realize every day.
*
“Um….”
Elijah thought as he watched her puppies playing freely.
Hand. Sit down. Wait. Etc.
The instructions given to the dog.
I want to try it with Judas.
I saw Judas sitting next to me.
He was scolding Yuel with his hands.
Yuel hides her favorite mushrooms in her hand and makes her go back and forth and find them.
“Now, look for it.”
Judah said, holding out her fist.
Yuel looked at his two hands in turn and touched one with his nose.
When he opened his fist, a yellow mushroom was revealed.
Yuel took it and ate it with her tongue.
“Good job. Wow, you’re smart.”
Yuel is a beast with an excellent sense of smell.
No matter how much you hide it in your hand, you can immediately tell which hand it is in just by smell.
The only time I looked at her fists was as if she was pretending to worry about matching the rhythm of Judas.
‘Judah may think he is playing Yuel…. In reality, Yuel is playing with Yuda.’
Even though Elijah knew all the circumstances, she did not bother to tell him. She decided to protect Judah’s innocence.
“Judas. Fun?”
“Yes. “As expected, Yuel, because he is a spirit creature, he is very smart.”
“Yes, you are smart.”
As he said that, Elijah patted Judah.
It seemed a bit strange, but Judas decided not to care.
“Judas.”
“Huh?”
“Hand.”
“… ?”
Judas looked at Elijah’s hand.
Hand held out as if to a puppy.
Those red eyes that looked up were excited with anticipation.
“Hand.”
He burst out laughing, thinking he knew why she was doing this.
I put her hand up and she smiles with satisfaction.
“Hehe. Good job.”
Elijah stroked her own hair.
She said as she felt her hand gently caressing her.
“Did you want to try it?”
“Wow. Something else too. Sit down.”
Judah decided to do as Elijah wanted.
She sat on the floor with her back against the wall.
Elijah sat on her own legs.
So that her body faces each other.
The posture of the stomach touching and the lower body pressed close together was stimulating.
“Kiss.”
Judah hugged her waist, smiled, and kissed her lips.
After she briefly bumped and fell, Elijah stroked her head again.
“Good job.”
“Puppies get food if they do well, but I don’t?”
“That will come later.”
“… Later?”
“Wow. “If you continue to listen carefully.”
After Elijah said that, she slightly turned her head and approached Judas.
The face that filled Judah’s field of vision suddenly became a mischievous and provocative expression.
The voice that came out next was low and seductive, matching that expression.
“Kiss.”
“… ….”
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
Judas was a little nervous.
After wetting her lips with her saliva, she slowly folded them over her lips.
A deeper, longer-lasting contact than before.
She pulled herself closer, as if she wanted her arms around the back of her neck to dig in further.
Judas also pulled her waist and parted her lips.
Lips that open while making a squeaky sound.
Hot breath passes.
While she was savoring it, Elijah slightly lifted his head from her.
Her downward gaze was drowsy.
Judah looked at her and tried to press his lips against hers again.
At that time, Elijah said with a grin.
A word spoken as if giving instructions.
“No. Wait.”
“… ….”
Judas flinched and froze.
Her eyes, reflecting her regret, were somewhat rebellious.
Looking at her animal-like eyes, Elijah smiled in satisfaction.
“I have to wait.”
Judah looked up at her, shutting her mouth tightly in response to her displeasure.
Since it was decided to match her rhythm, she had to wait.
Elijah deliberately moved closer, almost touching his lips, and then she fell.
She teased me to the fullest.
“That’s right, that’s good.”
So saying, Elijah stroked her head, face, and neck with her thin hands.
Judah took a deep breath, feeling the limits of her patience.
Elijah smiled with satisfaction and whispered.
“Close your eyes.”
“… ….”
Judah caught her breath and slowly closed her eyes.
I felt like the air around me was changing.
“Open your eyes.”
When I slowly lift my eyelids, what I see is a familiar sight.
A cage under the mountain.
The place where I sat was on the bed.
Elijah whispered in a voice that seemed to lick her ear.
“Now eat.”
Judas let go of her reason and faithfully carried out her instructions.
*
Judas was curious.
I wonder if even dust can be educated.
‘When a child performs a certain behavior, give them a favorite snack to encourage them to repeat the behavior.’
This was the principle of the training method that May explained when training a puppy.
Couldn’t we just do that to the cat?
I shared my concerns with Elijah and tried it.
As a result, she was successful.
“Hand.”
When you say that to Dust and hold out her hand, she gently places her front paw, which is like a cotton bat.
The jelly-like soles of the feet are soft and fluffy.
Judas touched the sole of his foot and said,
“Wow, you’re smart. Good job.”
A snack was given as a compliment.
I understood ‘sit’ in the same way.
Judah and Elijah believed they had succeeded.
It was definitely like that until yesterday.
“… Huh? Dust? Why?”
The dust came lightly and placed her paw on Judas’ hand.
She holds her head upright and looks at her blankly.
“What is happening all of a sudden? Handshake?”
If you lift her front paw and shake it, she snatches it away.
Then she sits down on her butt and looks up.
It was a look in his eyes that wanted something.
“Why are you doing that?”
Elijah tilted her head and muttered.
This time the dust approached Elijah.
She put her front paws on her hands and flopped down on her butt on the floor.
Like what was done to Judas.
The sparkling amber eyes were clearly hoping for something.
“What do you want….”
At that moment, Judah and Elijah realized.
‘No way.’
When you ask for her hand, if she puts her front paw up, give her a treat.
When told to sit down, if you do so, give a snack.
The dust distorted the previous process at will.
Anyway, if you raise your front paw, you will be given a snack.
Anyway, when you sit down, they give you a snack.
In other words, they recognized themselves as snack-giving machines.
“Dust. “Snacks are not given like this.”
“Mueng?”
“No. “You’ve been eating a lot of snacks lately.”
Judah gently stroked his chin and comforted him.
Then Dust rubbed his head against his hand.
“Awesome.”
“You can’t even try to be cute.”
“… ….”
At those words, Elijah was lost in other thoughts for a moment.
A stern appearance that does not allow even attempts at cuteness.
Can you do that to yourself?
‘I’ve never tried to be cute, but if I did…. How will Judah react? .’
In her opinion, she has never been cute to Judah before.
This was also the reason why she did not know why Judah found her so cute.
“Ellie? What are you thinking about?”
“Huh? Oh, no. Nothing.”
She just smiled brightly and Judah patted Elijah.
Gently, as if scratching her chin with a fingerprint.
Like when you pat the dust.
“Wow….”
Every time this happens, Elijah makes a subtle sound, closes her eyes, and surrenders her face to her touch.
‘It’s cute.’
This happens often these days.
Put Elijah in the same way as you would the dust.
I don’t seem to be particularly conscious of it.
‘Well, it’s cute so it’s okay.’
Suddenly, something occurred to me that I wanted to try.
Judas raised the hand he was stroking.
I pretended to stroke her hair, stopping just before I reached it.
“… ….”
Awkward silence that lasts for a moment.
Elijah slowly opened her eyes.
Red eyes looked alternately above her head and at Judas’ face.
“… What are you doing.”
Elijah pouted her lips and sulked.
Judah burst out laughing.
“I want to give it a try.”
“Hmph….”
Elijah’s cheeks rounded in dissatisfaction.
She took hold of her Judah’s wrist and lowered it over her own head.
She fixed it and moved her head back and forth, stroking herself.
“I decided to be very cute. “Are you researching how to be cuter every day?”
“… No it’s not.”
Elijah grumbled and hugged her, burying her head into his chest.
“I think that’s right?”
“I don’t know.”
As Elijah hid in her chest, her dust cried out for a treat.
“Woo Aewung-.”
Elijah spoke while hiding.
“No. “Now is the time to focus on me.”
Judah just smiled and petted her two cats together, and then she scolded Elijah, telling him to pet only him.
Even when she was scolded, she was just happy.
*
“Ta-da.”
After dinner, while sitting in front of the fireplace to rest, Elijah took out an object and showed it to Judah.
“Huh? What is this. “It’s a doll?”
“Hung.”
A human-shaped plush toy made from knitting yarn.
“Whose one?”
It wasn’t difficult to find out.
Long black hair.
Red eyes. White clothes.
“Ellie?”
“Wow. That’s right. It’s me. “I made it myself.”
“… Directly? “Ellie this doll?”
“Wow. “Did you do well?”
Beyond being good, it’s perfect without any flaws.
It almost seems like a lie that Elijah made it himself.
“It was made to protect Judas even when he was alone.”
There were rings and strings attached to the top of the doll’s head.
It is possible to tie it somewhere and fix it.
“I’m worried about how they can protect it because it looks cute, but since it looks like Ellie, it’ll be enough.”
Judah kissed Elijah briefly.
“Thank you. “I’ll use it well.”
“Wow. Instead, don’t do anything…. I have to clear out the monsters gathered at the entrance to Canaan today. “Can you go alone?”
“Ah, you mean setting up a base in the mountains.”
The advance continued and before we knew it, we had reached Canaan.
In other words, the end of the war is just around the corner.
Humanity was soon to experience great peace.
“Of course you can go. “Are you busy today?”
“Wow. Little. “I’m sorry for passing it on to you.”
“I am sorry. Don’t worry.”
From noble mtl dot com
I was curious.
There are almost no situations where Elijah separates himself.
She accepted easily because she thought that as her emperor, she had a good reason.
“Thank you.”
After Judah received her kiss from her, she moved to the beginning of Canaan.
*
“Is this a holy place?”
Pulling up her red scarf, Judah looked down to the north.
The wide open land seen from the peak.
A high mountain visible on the other side of the land.
It is a mountain named ‘Sinae’.
That place is the lost sanctuary, the most sacred mountain in Canaan.
It is also the mountain where the original being descended to this land.
It is a long way to that mountain.
You can only barely see the end of the mountain.
‘There are a lot.’
The mountain at the beginning of Canaan that he currently climbed.
It is swarming with monsters guarding the entrance just below.
Lions with ugly horns on their heads.
It resembles the appearance of an evil spirit that once tried to swallow the sun.
It is a very powerful monster, but it was not a problem for Judah now.
‘It’s been a while since I actually played a game.’
Although she sometimes assisted Elijah, it has been a while since she went out on her own.
I checked her status window for the first time in a while.
[Stamina: 110.5]
[Strength: 122.1]
[Agility: 138.9]
Physical abilities rose slowly as they reached almost human limits.
However, the magic power is different.
After sharing her love with Elijah, it soared rapidly.
These days, it continues to rise steadily.
‘… The point where it stops is subtle.’
[Horsepower: 690.0]
I ran quickly down the mountain range.
It passed by, decapitating the moon’s pupil without even realizing it from nearby monsters.
The light cutting sound of the sword.
The next monster attacked from behind.
The moment when Judah, already aware, is about to react.
-Boom!
A golden ray of light exploded, burning all the charging monsters.
“… Eh?”
Judas identified the source of the magic.
That’s right, your waist.
It was a doll of Elijah tied in a sheath.
A beam was shot out from the doll’s mouth.
“What…?” .”
A doll that she made to protect herself even when she was alone.
It was not just a wish with meaning.
“This…. “It’s an artifact, right?”
It was also an artifact that used Elijah’s magic.
Judah realized her true intentions.
She soon burst into laughter as if she couldn’t be stopped.
‘There are different ways to be cute….’
He sent this doll alone to show off.
