I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 100
#100. Eliaâs identity (1)
âSheâs pretty.â
âHow can she be so pretty?â
âBut sheâs a Gorgon? âI thought you were a goddess again.â
âIf youâre that pretty, youâre no different from a goddess.â
An afterimage of a terrible memory.
Medusaâs eyes trembled.
âDid you hear that? Well, Poseidon said he made love to Medusa last night at the Temple of Athena.â
âThat⦠How dare you do such a blasphemous thing in the templeâ¦!â
âShh! Shh! What should I do? After all, sheâs not a goddess, so she canât act modestly. âYou canât fake blood.â
No.
Not true.
That night, Poseidon didnât whisper anything like love to him.
Blood began to form on Medusaâs clenched lips.
âI am innocent! âI only talked with Poseidon!â
âOh, what did we talk about?â â
Then why did we talk about it at the Temple of Athena?â
âThatâs⦠Poseidon told me to come there⦠Content of the story I canât say itâs a secretâ¦â
âTsk, who would believe what a monster saysâ¦â
âItâs also abominable.â
I was desperate.
I shouted desperately, but no one listened.
Or rather, as if they had been waiting for this moment,
the people⦠the godsâ¦
seemed to be busy spewing out ugly swear words from the mouths that had once praised beauty.
âPlease trust me. Goddess Athena⦠Iâ¦â
âProve it.â
âYes?â
âProve that you didnât do anything dirty with that bastard in my temple.â
ââ¦.â
I couldnât prove it.
No, there was no way to prove it.
How on earth are we supposed to prove that nothing happened?
âIf we canât prove it, we canât help but hold you responsible for desecrating the sacred temple. Gorgon Medusa, I will hold you guilty of blasphemy.â
âAll of this happened because of your beautiful appearance. I would like to make you look like your two older sisters, but I will show you my mercy and endure that.â â
But from now on, I will not make eye contact with you . Everyone you encounter will be turned to stone, so live your life painfully reflecting on your blasphemous behavior by daring to make eye contact with a male god in the temple of the goddess.â â
No! No, Goddess! Pleaseâ¦!ã
I was angry.
I was sad.
It was unfair.
Why does it have to be just me who goes through this?
I just listened to the story of the great sea godâ¦
but it wasnât until much later that Poseidon appeared.
âwhat? Are you going to tell Athena about the stories you had with me?â
ââ¦Poseidon. Now I canât hang out with anyone except my two older sisters. Not only the friends I used to know, but also the animals I cared about and the plants I grew all turn to stone when they make eye contact with me! Watch it now! âEven Poseidon canât look me in the eye!!â
I pleaded with tears.
The feeling of being turned away from everything that whispered love.
The feeling of being distanced from everything in the world.
It was truly difficult.
But he was a much more shameless god than I thought.
âNonsense. What if the fact that I spoke ill of Athena to you, a mere insignificant person, spreads! Ugh, what on earth are you trying to embarrass yourself with? Absolutely not! no way! âKeuhum!â
Now that I think about it, he may have gossiped about the goddess that night just to get closer to me.
He may have been trying to use me, who was revered by the gods for my beauty, to play a simple role to insult the goddess Athena for his power.
But why,
why did he say,
âHmm, I guess that wonât work.â Medusa, youâll get in trouble if you say useless things, so from now on it would be better to stay on an island where no one will visit.â
Curse.
It was clearly a curse.
Instead of comforting me as I cried and begged, Poseidon replaced it with another curse.
It would have been an easier way for him.
A place where neither gods nor people nor monsters comeâ¦.
After that day
, I couldnât smile.
âreel? Hey, why are you crying all of a sudden?â
Before I knew it, I could see the shape of a man moving in front of my blurry eyes.
Ssuk suk.
I wiped my eyes vigorously.
âah!â
The manâs face was so close that a short scream escaped him.
It is indeed the face of a living being that I have not seen in a long time.
Rather than an ordinary god, the face looked somewhat like that of a human boyâ¦
Medusa, who was staring at him, instinctively averted her eyes.
The lost eyes rolled back and forth.
âIf your eyes meet⦠you could turn into stoneâ¦â
The man, who opened his eyes round at that small muttering, soon grinned.
âWhat are you talking about? If it has changed, it has already changed. look. I donât feel anything when I look into your eyes. âNow Iâm invincible.â
Medusa, the man who burst out laughing cheerfully while saying that, then slowly raised her gaze and stared at him again.
Light brown hair and darker brown eyes.
These were the eyes of a living being that I had not seen in a long time.
âItâs sparkling.â
No, it is more mysterious than sparkling.
It was so beautiful that I felt like I could fall in love with it at any moment.
Naturally, old memories came flooding back.
okay.
He loved the beauty of all life on Earthâ¦
âHuh? âWhat are you crying again?â
A manâs embarrassed voice.
âis not it? Are you smiling? âHeâs a really strange guy.â
Before I knew it, Medusa was smiling brightly.
A sincere, truly happy smile that I have never been able to make since that dayâ¦.
* * * Mrs. Jo Yoon-heeâs house
on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do
.
Damdeok was lying in a hammock in the garden, staring blankly at the sky.
âThat guy⦠had the last laugh.â
The face of Medusa that I saw last time kept flashing before my eyes.
Eyes filled with sadness, joy, and a vague joy.
It was a look that made my heart sink.
âWhy do you look at people with those eyes and then say nothing until the end?â
I asked Medusa about Gorgon Island and the Gorgon race herself, but she gave no answer.
She just smiled and looked at herself for a while, then slowly turned around and disappeared across the lake, taking her two sisters with her.
That was the end of it.
âThe myths were all nonsense.â
Isnât that right?
Medusa, whom he had seen with his own eyes, was such a terrible monster that he was so frightened, a crybaby, and so weak that he would not even die to watch someone turn to stone⦠such a being.
âAnyway, it ended well, so itâs okay.â
Damdeok looked at the system window in front of him.
A proud smile was naturally drawn.
[Title: Ruler of Gorgon Island]
Description: The one who made eye contact with the Gorgon Medusa. Your brave deeds have spread the majesty of all of Olympus and even resonated in the lands of the underworld. Therefore, I grant you a title that puts you on par with Medusa.
Title Effect 1: Resistance to all fears.
Title effect 2: Activates the momentum âFearâ.
There are two effects.
Itâs not just fear resistance.
Now, it is now possible to instill fear in the enemy.
I feel sorry for Elia, but as Medusa Alvaro, her goal was definitely achieved.
Damdeokâs face hardened for a moment when he thought of Elia.
ââ¦I canât believe that little guy left without even saying hello.â
When the attempt to kill Medusa was in vain, Elia left the island without a word.
Even if I called him from behind, it was no use.
Her back looked like she was very angry.
âOf course, it was my fault for not taking the part-time job as advertised, butâ¦â
Yes.
That little god must have his own circumstances.
You must cut off Medusaâs head.
But it was the same here too.
âWhat should I do if I donât want to die?â
In the first place, he had no intention of killing Medusa.
Isnât that why he tried to imitate a geek (a person who specializes in tasting the internal organs or special parts of monsters) and consumed the Gorgonâs eye?
The result was successful, but it was a result that could not satisfy both of them.
âThey said they would return the prepaid part-time salary I received firstâ¦â
The message I sent was clearly unread.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Damdeok fiddled with the system in disappointment.
Even though we were together only for a short time, he was a girl with a unique charm, and
for some reason, I felt a sense of relief.
âah! sister! 30 minutes have passed. âCome down!â
âI donât like it~ Ebebe~â
âHey!!â
On one side of the garden, Baekgureum and Adele Sharon can be seen playing flying with Hermesâ shoes.
Unfortunately, the mirror shield and transparent helmet were broken, but it was fortunate that at least Hermesâ shoes remained.
âBut when will the address rate come?â
Itâs been an hour since she returned from her part-time job, but Joo-yul, who said she went out briefly, has no intention of coming back.
âThere is a lot of work to be done in the futureâ¦â
Would it be okay if an important consultant were to leave at this time?
Damdeok rocked the hammock for a while, but eventually he couldnât stand it anymore and stood up.
âI canât do this. âIâll have to look for it myself.â
* * *
âyes. Damdeok Yoo, your VIP ticket has been confirmed~ Please wait a moment~â
Damdeok nodded wordlessly at the friendly staff memberâs explanation.
There were all kinds of people sitting in the luxurious hall in front of me.
People who play games on the small monitors attached to each sofa, people who watch TV, people who read brochures, people who chat, etc.
Equipped with a simple snack bar and a mini cafe, this place was like a luxury lounge at the airportâ¦
Damdeokâs brow furrowed slightly.
âItâs a spa exclusively for hunters⦠Did Joo-yul really come to this place?â
As soon as I asked where it was through a system message, I immediately got a reply from Juryul.
The conclusion is here.
Hunter-only spa.
It is a welfare project independently implemented by the Guild Federation to recognize the hard work of hunters who fight dangerous monsters every day. Basically, it is a facility that relieves huntersâ fatigue and stress through professional programs such as massage, aromatherapy, art therapy, and psychological counseling as well as spa. It was.
âIâve only heard of it, but itâs my first time coming to a place like thisâ¦â
Moreover, this place where Damdeok is located was a top-class spa run by one of the top three guilds in Korea.
âIs the address rate really difficult these days?â¦â
According to what the kids said, it was said that the pressure was constantly low. I guess I must have accumulated a lot of stress.
âWell, with such a serious face all the time, what about the war of the gods, what about the predictions, what about the 12 guardiansâ¦â
Itâs enough to make my head hurt.
After almost fighting Elia last time, his face had noticeably darkenedâ¦
âEllia, she is a high-level god, but Joo-yul, a middle-level god, could lose. Anyway, that guy thinks too much.â
Damdeok guessed the cold atmosphere of that day.
âI told the staff, so when they get the address, they will direct me here.â
There was a lot to discuss in the future.
Looking at the news article, it seems like the old lady in the underworld has been quiet since that day, but the monsters at the gate are getting more irritable by the day.
âIâll just put everything in order and then go collect the next guardian.â
I think that will put my mind at ease.
Damdeok sat down on the soft sofa and picked up a magazine.
â Ding dong!
â Kang Da-cheol. Please enter spa room number 32.
As the broadcast comes on, the man sitting next to me stands up and walks toward the spa room.
Soon, someone sat in that empty seat.
My gaze returned unconsciously.
At that moment, Damdeokâs eyes widened.
ââ¦Leo Lux?â
Havenât you gone back to America yet?
His short, sports-cut silver hair and angular chin accentuated his rugged appearance.
ââ¦is it you again? âKorea is so small.â
Leo Lux stared at Damdeok for a moment and then stood up with a disapproving expression.
ââ¦?â
Then, he walked away and sat down in a far away place.
âunder!â
Iâm strangely pissed off.
I know you want to sit with someone.
A guy as big as a mountain comes to a place like this and smells like soap!
Damdeok suddenly turned his head.
That guy.
Itâs okay if I donât care.
âDo you⦠do you know that dozens of casualties occurred when the gate exploded this time?â
Leo Lux, who was sitting far away, asked.
Of course, my eyes were fixed on the magazine.
âokay. âI just saw the news.â
âBut why are you, a 7-star hunter, doing spa here?â
A vein popped out on Damdeokâs forehead.
This is what youâre arguing about right now, right?
Damdeok sighs. I adjusted my posture and sat down.
ââ¦Do I really need to explain that to you?â
Perhaps sensing the unusual atmosphere, people around them began to quietly leave the place.
Leo Lux quietly closed the magazine.
widely.
âDonât misunderstand. âI was just asking.â
âDonât ask.â
âSure.â
Seeing that he responded obediently, I guess he doesnât want to fight head-on again.
Well, thatâs how it happened thenâ¦
âBut why start a fight that has no point?â
âha. Donât touch me for no reason. âIâm already tired right now.â
ââ¦.â
Leo Lux remained silent and did not say anything.
Damdeok leaned back comfortably on the sofa.
âTch, are you still doing this to me because youâre a monster or something?â
He said his younger sister went missing due to a monster hunter, so I understand his sensitive feelings.
okay. I understand, but why?
âWhy are you going crazy with me?â
Damdeok mumbled and flipped through the magazine.
I didnât feel very good.
When will the replacement address rate come out?
It was a time when I was muttering bluntly.
â Ding dong!
â Elia, please enter spa room 17!
A broadcast sound rings out beautifully.
Damdeokâs frown narrowed quickly.
what�
Elia?
Did you just say Elia?
âOh, I guess itâs someone with the same nameâ¦â
Damdeokâs eyes moved quickly.
Swoosh from the seat diagonally in front. Familiar silver hair rising.
It was clear.
âCrazy⦠how is this going?â
A murmur escaped me without my knowledge.
A high-ranking god is in the human world, and a foreign god is coming to Korea and having a spa?
It was when Damdeok was looking at Elia with an absurd expression.
Bang from the side! With a sound, a large man stood up.
âYou⦠youâ¦â
Leo Lux suddenly woke up and was looking at Elia with an incredulous expression.
People started talking and Damdeok was trying to understand what the situation was.
Elia is clearly a high-class god.
Why does Leo Lux know?
Just then, the broadcast came again.
â Ding dong!
â Elia, please enter spa room 17!
â Is Elia not there? Is customer number 387 âElia Luxâ here?
Damdeokâs head rang.
Lookâ¦s? Lux?!
Elia Lux!
Damdeokâs gaze moved slowly.
Leo Lux, an American hunter with silver-haired sports hair.
And
Elia Lux, an exotic little girl with straight silver hair.
Their faces were strangely similar.
âHuhâ¦?!â
Damdeokâs mouth opened wide.
â¦What the hell is going on?
