I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons Chapter 234

“Don’t worry, I won’t eat you.”

The nightmare pressed its face against me. Her breath smelled of thick roses.

“Good boy, accept my last gift from the Silent Crawling Nightmare.”

Then he whispered in my ear.

“… … .”

But it was too small to hear.

“Huh? What did you just say… Whoops!”

My mouth, which was about to ask a question, was suddenly swallowed by the lips of a nightmare.

A kiss as hot as fireworks, as beautiful and ephemeral as cherry blossoms blowing in the wind, and somehow vaguely like a faint taste of blood.

My mind went into a stupor from the intense stimulation.

Looking at me dazed by the nightmare, I licked my lips, which were still sticky with saliva, with my tongue.

“I’ve only tasted whoops, so don’t freak

out,” she said, looking

up into the sky.

***

Drool~ cool cool!

Tring!

-The power of ‘Rose that blooms at night’ has disappeared.

I, who had been sleeping on the floor like a frog, woke up to the sound of God Maker’s message notification.

“what? When did I fall asleep?” I

must have been very tired to fall asleep on the floor without a blanket.

Actually, I’ve been through a lot lately.

“Hmm, I think I dreamed something? What kind of dream was it?”

I scratched my head and tried to remember, but like most dreams, I couldn’t remember. I think it was a rather intense and sad dream… … .

“huh? What is this?”

Petals that looked like roses were falling off all around me. Did any of the guests who came yesterday bring flowers? That was

n’t the only strange thing.

I

looked in the bathroom mirror to clean up the messy petals and wash my face, and I saw that my lips were swollen as if they had been stung by a bee. I was wondering if I should go to the hospital, but my phone rang. Just look at the huge temple that looks just like the

Parthenon

in

Greece

.

Even though he was in the suburbs, he built a temple in just one day. Kang-woo, a middle-aged man with a dandy charm, now looked at me with shining eyes like a boy seeking praise.

I couldn’t bear to tell him the truth.

I rolled my head as much as I could and poured out words of praise.

“I like it. It has a feeling of Hellenism and is elegant and gorgeous, and it looks like a Greek temple.”

Kangwoo nodded as if agreeing.

“It’s a Greek temple.”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

“yes? That’s right?”

“After the Hunter War, the Greek government was in financial trouble, so I was able to get it cheaply. Fortunately, the elves lent me a portal system, so I was able to move it easily.”

Then, the elves who were working hard to move materials with magic bowed their heads reverently to me.

Could that be the real Parthenon?

“… … How much is cheap?”

No matter how savvy I am, I don’t think I can beat a temple like that with ten of my golden statues.

“I bought it for a billion dollars.

I must have misunderstood the regressor’s sense of money.

Worse than you think!

Even if I roughly calculate it, it’s over 1 trillion, but it won’t be enough even if I dispose of all my golden statues that the antes worked hard to make!

“Can’t I get a refund?”

“What? You don’t like it?”

“It’s too expensive, and even though the temple looks nice, it’s probably a bit inconvenient to live in.

”

I didn’t dare to ask how much it cost again.

In addition, I heard that the whole land around the temple was bought for my peaceful life.

“Wouldn’t this be too much?”

“A thousand elves will be migrating soon, so we need to secure this much land.”

Has that already become a fait accompli? It was hard to handle the temple, but the burden of moving even the elves made my stomach ache.

However, my alter ego and followers who were already there seemed to have different ideas from me.

Lee Shin, who showed off his upper body with fine muscles, approached us wiping the sweat from his body.

“I really like the training ground. It was hard rain. Indeed, he is my believer.”

“It’s too much praise.”

Kang Woo humbly lowered his head.

After that, the loud shouts of the muscular man resounded.

“Haaaap! There was also a gigantic gym on the site, reminiscent of Ex Land, and of course, the owner of the place was our Ilho. Ilho cheered as he raised the specially made giant dumbbells with

both

hands

.

“I used Orichalcum,

which was specially ordered from the Hunter Shop for Ilho.

”

I just felt like it was going to be what it was.

“Where is Sungyeon? I heard you’re here.”

“Your nephew went to the ‘only botanical garden’ with Samsin.”

There is also a botanical garden, so there is nothing here.

I sighed and trudged toward the botanical garden Kang-woo had told me about.

The botanical garden is quite large compared to other places, so it took some time to find the children.

“Fairy tale [The Little Prince and the Rose of Betrayal].”

After walking for a while, I heard Seong-yeon’s voice, which was clear but a bit incoherent like a child’s, from afar.

I

followed it and came to a rose garden

in

full

bloom

.

?

My nephew, by any chance, I am not referring to that unemployed uncle, am I?

“The rose was pretty, but her temper was very dirty. Every day, the rose scratched the North Drum gourd to the unemployed little prince. It means that you don’t take good care of your great, strong, pretty self. 귀에서 피가 날 것 같은 잔소리에 더 이상 참을 수 없었던 어린 왕자는 이놈의 별을 나가서 돈을 벌어 오겠다고 결심했어요.”

어째 내가 어릴 때 읽었던 [어린왕자]하고는 좀 다른데? [어린 왕자]가 저런 내용이었어?

나는 장미 화원에 쭈그리고 앉은 채 지금이라도 교육상 저 괴상한 동화를 읽는 것을 말려야 하나 진지하게 고민했다.

“마침내 어린 왕자가 별을 떠나는 날이 왔어요. 어린 왕자는 떠나기 전에 골방 같은 별을 깨끗이 치우고는 장미에게 유리 고깔을 씌워 주려 했어요. 자기가 없는 동안 장미가 다치지 않게 하기 위해서였죠.

하지만 성질 나쁜 장미는 그런 왕자의 유리 고깔을 넝쿨로 차 버리며 버럭 화를 냈어요!

-지금 떠나는 주제에 뭐 하는 거야? 날 동정하는 거니? 이런 건 필요 없어!

어린 왕자가 말했어요.

-아냐 난 혼자 남을 네가 걱정돼서…….

장미가 꽃잎에 맺힌 이슬을 감추며 훌쩍였어요.

-걱정은 개뿔! 날 떠나고 분명 상자 속에 들어갈 깜찍하고 귀여운 양이나 사막에서 만난 여우 년이랑 바람이나 피울 거면서!

-오해야. 뭐 양이랑 여우랑은 친구가 되고 싶긴 하지만…….

눈치 없는 어린 왕자의 말에 장미의 분노가 마침내 폭발했어요.

-나쁜 놈! 이혼이야! 내가 가질 수 없다면 차라리 부숴 버리겠어!

쾅! 콰콰쾅! 푸슈욱! 삐이이! 콰르르 쿠쿵!”

Seongyeon even shouted the sound effect to make it feel real.

“green onion… … 괴!”

흥미진진했는지 삼신이가 초코 케이크를 퍼먹는 걸 멈추고 성연이의 이야기에 집중하고 있었다.

나는 결심했다.

저 막장 드라마의 탈을 쓴 동화책을 당장 뺏기로.

대체 어떤 망할 작가가 저런 동심 파괴 동화를 쓰고 있단 말인가.

저자를 검색해 보니 크래커란 이름이 떴다.

“부부 싸움은 칼로 물 베기란 말이 있지만 아쉽게도 그 설정은 이 동화에는 통하지 않았답니다. 세상이 그렇게 쉬운 게 아니잖아요?

결국 패배한 장미는 슬피 우는 어린 왕자의 품에 안긴 채 힘겹게 말했어요.

-미안해! 내가 잘못했어! 장미야! 죽지 마! 앞으로는 평생 너를 지키면서 살게!

-흥 나는 네 보호가 필요한 나약한 장미가 아냐.

장미가 상처 입은 꽃잎을 눈물처럼 땅에 떨구며 어린 왕자의 뺨을 가시넝쿨로 어루만졌어요.

-왕자 나를 떠나도 돼. 하지만 약속해. 절대로 나를 잊지 마 영원히……. 그리고 바람피우면 죽여 버릴 거…… 꼴깍!

그렇게 저주 같은 유언을 말한 장미가 죽어 버렸…… 앗 삼촌? 여기서 뭐 해?”

Seongyeon cried out when she found me standing in the rose bed.

But I couldn’t answer.

wheein!

A sudden strong wind blew petals from the rose garden in countless numbers, swirling around me like a whirlwind.

Looking at the rose petals scattering their beautiful, ephemeral and sweet fragrance.

‘Think about it.’

I struggled to recall the words the rose had whispered to me in my dream last night.

Great! Blasphemy!

At the same time, the space around me began to crack as if the world were cracking.

“Aww! Uncle Shinshin!”

“Destroy…destroy!”

The rose in my dream whispered to me as the flower withered and dropped its gorgeous petals.

– From now on, you will forget my existence. This is the last gift I, the nightmare, give you. Don’t even dream of taking revenge on Tushin and live happily, just like you longed for.

The line of the rose is completely different from the fairy tale about not forgetting yourself forever.

I said, clenching my fists as if they were going to bleed.

“No.”

Kwajik! Kwajik!

I woke up from a nightmare called oblivion that was a ‘silent crawling nightmare’. At the same

time,

the space in front of me shattered and the entrance to the divine world opened. Yeon-i remembered the fairy tale he was reading. The little prince and the rose. The rose that the little prince should take care of and protect. But it was me who was protected, not the rose. The rose whispered: “Forget me. I don’t understand. Why does a superlative deity who is like a nightmare sacrifice himself for me? Is

that

the

same

feeling

I

have

for

Antti

and

the

others

?

” Or did she also have some connection to me, like the ‘Eternal Seeker’?

Well, it doesn’t matter.

You can ask directly from now on.

-‘Endless Abundance’ is greatly embarrassed by your divine power that broke its barrier.

I said bitterly.

“As expected, Plenty stopped it.”

In the past, I was kidnapped by the sun god, ‘Fire that shines in the highest sky.’ At that time

, it was possible to leave the earth, but suddenly it became impossible, so

I guessed

that someone might have

intervened

.

If it’s a god or a man, he shouldn’t turn a blind eye to a woman who wants to sacrifice for me. To live like that is trash.

I took a step through the gap in the cracked space.

Flash! Kwak Kwa Kwak!

A dazzling golden radiance flashed in an instant, and then a scythe-shaped divine power slammed down in front of me.

I sighed as I looked at the girl who stood in my way.

“Do you have to do this?”

It was Heze who stopped me.

But it wasn’t the usual girl.

Chitsutsu!

Her entire body radiated golden divine power, which is presumed to be ‘Endless Abundance’, and she even held her symbol, a huge golden scythe. Abundance, in the form of her own apostle, stared at me with shining golden eyes and said. It is suicidal for you, who have just become a high-ranking god, to fight the god of death! Besides, not only the god of the god of death, but also his subordinates, the higher-level gods, are swarming

!

”

“I am not going to fight. I’m going to get it.”

Bountiful bit his lip and pointed the golden scythe at me.

“This is the first and last request of the Nightmare!

Hard!

Although he is a good god, he is truly the god of the highest rank. As she showed her momentum, the world began to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

Shuwook! thud! thud!

“What’s going on!”

“Destroy…destroy!”

My alter egos and Ilho, who noticed the change, appeared there. In particular, Ilho opened his eyes wide at the abundance.
