The Shaman Wants Transcendence

22 – Contractor Se-Rin Lee

* * *

Arriving at the restaurant, as soon as Lee Se-rin showed up, she ran to run and looked him up and down. She looks up and down, looks her in the eye, squats up, looks up, gets close enough to stick her nose into her body, and stares.

And then she said:

“It looks the same whether you see it from afar or up close.”

Jinseong was unaware of the situation, but guessed the situation when he saw the vague shape of a demon turning her head towards Seline.

‘The devil must have said something.’

The shape was blurry, so at first glance it looked like a haze or a landscape distorted by water vapor. If you don’t care, you can’t recognize it, and even if you care, you can’t properly recognize the shape.

“Hey, it’s the same… Huh? You don’t mean that? No, I know… I don’t know…”

All I could see was the shape, and that too was only vaguely visible, so it was very difficult to know its existence. In fact, in the past, Jin-seong knew that Se-rin Lee made a contract with the devil, but he had no idea what kind of devil it was or what it looked like.

In addition, World War III and deteriorating physical condition overlapped with each other, making it difficult to meet even if contacted. It was as if the sky didn’t want the two to meet.

‘Like things resemble like things. Small snakes swim behind my eyes, so my eyes will become like snakes.’

A mercenary who was his colleague asked this question.

『So you’ve never seen your stepbrother the devil before? Aren’t you curious? 』

Being a curious donkey-like human being, he repeatedly shouted, “I’m curious, I’m curious,” And begged him if he could go see the demon and come back to him. But at that time, he passed it over, saying, “If I can’t meet you, just focus on magic as you can’t meet me.”

If I had been in an accident or died, I would have taken the time to visit him, but isn’t that the case?

‘In the end, the people in this family lived well until I died.’

Jinseong muttered to himself and looked at Lee Se-rin with eyes that had been altered by witchcraft. As I gathered the symbolism of the snake’s eyes, the shape of the devil who was giving advice to Lee Se-rin while hiding herself began to slowly appear.

From noble mtl dot com

The first thing that caught my eye was the red color reminiscent of rust on a lump of iron. The red color, like a muddy rust that would not disappear even after washing, did not shine even in the sun, and was a color that would be infinitely closer to dark red in the dark.

And numerous stiff-looking hairs of that color densely covered the whole body like thorns, and only the camel’s head and tail had long hair. Like a virgin ghost lowering her head and lowering her hair, her long hair covered her entire head, making it look like a camel wearing a wig at first glance.

The protruding twin sticks pulsated and radiated power, as if they contained energy, and there was a golden tongue in her mouth as she opened her mouth while looking at Lee Se-rin.

And at the top of his head was a lavishly decorated golden crown.

‘I know what it is.’

As soon as Jinseong saw the shape, he recognized the name of the demon that signed the contract with Lee Se-rin.

A demon whose name was different in different cultures.

Lepena in some places.

Komori in some places.

The most popular names are…

‘Gremory.’

That devil, who made countless contracts in human history, was a transcendent species that made only women contracts. The woman who made a contract with Gremory was able to obtain wealth and power beyond imagination. That devil who can find all sorts of secrets and treasures leads the contractor’s life in a positive direction.

Eliminate hunger by accumulating wealth, and grant strength to defeat robbers with treasure.

With the power of medicine and healing, it prevents people around you from dying in vain and mourns, and it is said that it is a friendly companion throughout life, so it can be said that it is an existence that does not fit the name of ‘devil’.

Except for one downside.

‘There are many cases in which beings who have contracted with the devil lack something.’

Like other transcendence species, demons also had their own tastes.

Don’t people have a taste when it comes to raising pets?

Some like reptiles, some like dogs, some like cats, and so on.

The appearance, the size of the body, and the length and length of the hair are considered.

Likewise, the types of humans preferred by each transcendental species were also different, but angels and demons tended to prefer humans who lacked something. Because they like to fill in what they lack with what they have.

An angel fills it with affection and dependence.

The devil fills it with his own ability.

Either way, the contractor is happy.

The angelic contractor becomes happy because he is dependent on and dependent on the angel, and the devil’s contractor becomes happy because his life is enriched with the help of the devil.

Lee Se-rin will be happy too.

He was happy to the end even before he went back in time, and this life will be happy too.

The devil is a precious tall man who sponsors the contractor’s happiness, and at the same time he is a lifelong partner.

“हूँ.”

Jinseong dispelled the spell and sat down. He rubbed his slightly irritated, dry eyes with his hands and made tears.

‘I have a story to tell him.’

Se-Rin, who had been talking with the devil for a long time, also sat across from Jin-seong and rolled his eyes here and there, as if the story had ended.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s awkward to make eye contact with Jinseong, or because she cares about what Gremory said, but she looks at where Gremory is, sometimes at the door, and lowers her head. He never looked at the front, even looking at the table.

How long has that awkward time passed?

Rattle.

“I’m here~ Huh? Are there only two of you?”

Someone came in

It was Lee Arin, a twin who had the same appearance as Lee Se Rin. Unlike Celine, who came out neatly dressed for her breakfast, she didn’t even think to comb her messy hair, just washed her face and came back in her nightgown.

It looked like a lioness just waking up from sleep.

She lightly walked over, sat down next to Jinseong, and stabbed him in the shoulder.

“Hey, hey. Long rain, long rain.”

When Jinseong turned her head away, Ia-rin smiled.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, huh?”

As she said that, she slightly averted her eyes.

“Why are you so busy? Going out on a fictional day, staying out overnight, going out.I will forget huh?”

The words he grumbled at at first glance sounded like they might be arguing, but there was a feeling of worry in those words.

“What you’re doing, you smell like gold. Making money is good, but what is it, you know?”

After that, the dining room was quiet again. After saying that, Arin turned her head around and twisted her hair with one of her fingers, and Jinseong quietly kept her mouth shut because he had nothing to say. In the case of Serene, she didn’t know if it was because of the atmosphere of the restaurant, which was wrapped in silence, or because it was awkward, but she just kept her head down sullenly.

It was Lee Yang-hoon and his wife and concubine who broke the silence that was like her death. The trio of saviors broke the awkward atmosphere of her dining room and sat at her head, while A-Rin Lee, who had been silent in her, addressed her to Yang-Hun Lee and her own mother.

Soon, her family gathered and the meal began.

Silence came again.

It was the silence created by Lee Yang-hoon’s condescension, who uselessly questioned table manners, and expressed that it was not a habit to talk about food during a meal over heavy and colorful dishes that could hardly be considered breakfast. Because of that, everyone had no choice but to eat breakfast quietly, paying attention to the sound of dishes clashing, and we could talk only after the meal was over.

Lee Yang-hoon said to Lee Se-rin and Lee A-rin while drinking the green tea that came with the dessert in his hand.

“They said the practice was canceled.”

“Yes…”

Se-Rin Lee nodded her head at those words, and A-Rin Lee reacted rather roughly, wondering if it was good that her practice was canceled.

And Jinseong looked at the three as if wondering.

‘Practice canceled?’

The high school that Se-Rin Lee and A-Rin Lee attend is a specialization high school in Seoul.

This school, called Seoteuk High School for short, was a high school that specialized in developing special abilities. The curriculum of this school, where people who want to become stronger with summoning, magic, martial arts, etc., Flocks to it, is individual development. This school, which provides education for strengthening individual strength and ability, naturally had a large proportion of field practice.

He did many activities to contribute to the world with his abilities, such as going to places haunted by demons or evil spirits, helping to arrest criminals, and helping government work.

By this time, the two of them should have been practicing at the police station…

“Don’t be disappointed. Rather, you should be thankful that it happened in advance. I would have been very worried if the violent incident had occurred during practice.”

“That… Yes…”

“The Ho National Assembly said that he must have been a very strong man. If he had encountered such a heinous criminal during practice, he could have suffered greatly. Rather, the cancellation of the practice is a blessing in disguise.”

Lee A-rin’s eyes twinkled at Lee Yang-hoon’s words.

“Really? Is it enough for those old people to say that?”

“Uh huh! Don’t worry! A topic that hasn’t even reached the top level!”

“What?! This old man is real! Did he even buy me an elixir and say that!”

“The elixir should be used to penetrate the wall! I would have said that if you take it carelessly, you will be in trouble!”

“Then give me tutoring!”

“Isn’t tutoring difficult for the martial arts you learned! So, who wants to learn such martial arts…”

“Then buy me some medicine!”

“No… Ha…”

Jinseong watched the fight between the two.

‘Hogukhoe, Patriotshoe.’

What came to his mind was a letter made using blood.

‘You saw my letter. The Hogukhoe took the bait.’
