I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 82
#82. âNo matter
how much I think about it, I feel refreshed inside.â
Baekgureum smiles brightly and lies down with his clasped hands behind his head.
A spacious garden.
The well-manicured lawn was filled with tables worthy of a buffet.
âHey, why do you lie down at any time?â
Adele Sharon scolded him by tearing off a piece of meat the size of his face, but Baekgureum didnât even listen.
âAh, thatâs good. I didnât know Damdeok was this rich.â
The monster transformation incident was over and the group had just returned to Damdeokâs newly moved house on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.
With an enthusiastic welcome from his mother and a large-scale party hired by top chefs and even a company, it was enough for Baek Gu-reum to lie down with a satisfied smile on his face.
âI know. âThe house is more worth looking at than I thought.â
Adele Sharon also hummed and admitted.
Although it is not as big as her mansion, it is still a mansion of this size that is worth a lot of money in Korea.
Damdeok nodded in satisfaction as he listened to the compliments.
âWell, actually, itâs money earned by selling equipment that the dwarves have keptâ¦â
Thereâs no need to bring up such a story.
Damdeok tapped the dining table made of solid wood.
âAnyway, everyone worked hard. âLetâs do it, letâs do it!â
Chachaechaeng!
With the sound of clinking glasses, the wolves began howling in unison.
â Aww!
â Awww!
In a garden with a land area of over 500 pyeong, there were about 200 wolves eating meat.
All of the wolves that Damdeok had tamed were also the ones who played a big role in the vanguard of this monster transformation incident.
âIâm completely out of my mind because Iâm crying all at once. âAre there any guards here?â
âKorea is a country famous for its safety. What about guards? âItâs fortunate that my brother sent Cerberus back right away.â
ââ¦of course. My mom would faint if she saw it. âItâs not a big deal because itâs all fields around here, but itâs still noisy because everyone is crying together.â
Damdeok slightly gestured towards the wolf pack.
The guys quickly wagged their tails again and concentrated on biting the meat.
White Cloud muttered while lying down in the grass, looking at the large dog-like guys sporting flame manes and ice fur.
âItâs the minister, itâs the minister. Are you sure they wonât be scared? âThose guys are wolves brought from the world of gods.â
ââ¦The world of the gods?â
Mother Jo Yoon-hee, who was putting down new food on the table, looked at Baek Cloud with puzzled eyes.
Damdeok quickly wakes up and scoops up the white clouds that are lying down! I hesitated, pushing with my foot.
âAh, these are the guys we brought from the gate, and it looks mysteriously like the world of the gods.â
ââ¦okay? âWell, the gate is connected to another dimension like a dungeon, right?â
Mother Jo Yoon-hee reluctantly nodded. Then he looked at Damdeok with concern.
âSo, the stigma of being a monster hunter has been completely removed?â
âthen. donât worry.â
Damdeok answered with confidence, but Jo Yoon-hee seemed very uneasy.
It was natural. I heard that there was an uproar just two days ago because of a monster hunterâ¦
Damdeok opened his mouth in a fake cheerful tone.
âHey, Mrs. Jo, youâre doing that again. Didnât you watch TV earlier? Experts and doctors in related fields have all proven that I am not in the process of becoming a monster. âI heard that the inspection bureau also found out that they made a mistake?â
That wasnât all. When it was revealed that the Iris guild leaderâs abuse of power was a result of his work-related power, there was a strong public outpouring of sympathy for Damdeok, who was a free hunter and had no affiliation.
Even if you become a 7-star hunter, if you are out of the sight of a large guild, you wonât be able to make a difference. Hunters all over the country are raising their voices, saying, âHow will the lower-level hunters feel?â
Somehow, the matter has become so scary.
âA national petition has even appeared asking to prevent any disadvantage or pressure from being placed on free hunters.â
Addressul looked at his smartphone indifferently and muttered.
Damdeok shrugged his shoulders.
âDid you hear, Mom? âYou can just watch TV and see everything, so why are you so worried?â
âI couldnât finish watching the news earlier because my heart was poundingâ¦â
âHmm, then I guess I can watch it now.â
Damdeok said that and took out a tablet.
âNo, he. âSuddenly you said you were watching some news.â
âItâs because my mom is so worried. âNow itâs too late to just eat food, so Iâm just leaving it on.â
As soon as I turned on the real-time news on my tablet, a story about a monster transformation incident came out.
â This is my first time seeing such a giant. It was completely covered with ice and was taller than most villas⦠What was interesting was that when I looked closely at the giants that looked like ice statues, they all looked slightly different.
â There were a lot of giants! It really appeared like a moai statue roaring!
Live interviews with citizen witnesses.
Damdeok, who was quietly listening, chuckled.
âI was surprised that there were more ice giants than I expected.â
When I summoned Ettin with my power, I also summoned all of his tribesmen. The number of tribesmen who had been hiding had increased significantly, as if they had found some of them.
âThanks to this, we were able to definitely give a sense of intimidation to the approaching army.â
To be honest, the ice giants probably played a bigger role than the wolves in temporarily stopping the South Korean armyâs assault.
âOf course, when I summoned Cerberus the next time, everyone froze as if I had promisedâ¦â
Thanks to the wolves and ice giants, the troops who had been at a standstill all came to a standstill as soon as Cerberus was summoned to the point of fire.
In the end, it was fortunate that everything came together and was resolved peacefully.
âThere was a lot of talk about Cerberus, the real gatekeeper of the underworldâ¦â
Everyone said, âWow!â when I said it was a rare summoning skill obtained from the gate. He looked at me with envious eyes and that was the end.
I thought this monsterization incident, with everything resolved well, would just end like this.
If it werenât for Executor Na Kyung-sooâs weird interview.
â At this point, we will watch the second part of the X-Files about Hunter Yu Dam-deok.
An image of Na Kyung-soo being interviewed while leaning on a hospital bed along with the hostâs comments appeared on the tablet screen.
â â¦Itâs real. I saw it clearly with my own eyes! No, all the members of Unit 13 here saw it!
â Hunter Yu Damdeok really knows how to use magic?!
â Summon Cerberus? Itâs not a skill! Itâs definitely one of those magic tricks!
Haha, I couldnât help but sigh.
Although he admitted to having an eye for magic, he dismissed all of his skills, including summoning Cerberus, as magic.
âJust do it in moderation.â
I rewatched that interview 13 times today, so I guess other people are also curious about the word magic.
âWhy are you just digging into the monster transformation case all day? âArenât there any other broadcasts here?â
Damdeok was grumpy for no reason, but looking at the programming schedule, it seemed like this channel had me as their special topic today.
âMagic⦠Damdeok uses magicâ¦?â
Mother Jo Yoon-hee muttered next to her.
Damdeok smeared saliva on his dry lips and trembled jokingly.
âWhat is magic? Mom, do you believe those kids? âItâs just a skill. Itâs a skill~â
There might be a way to raise the value of the name by publicizing the existence of , but honestly, I didnât really want to use that method.
âWhen I was on air due to the monster transformation incident, my strength had already risen to the point where it had risen. âBecause your spiritual power increases much more when you become famous among the gods than when you become known to people.â
In short, it is not very efficient to indulge people anymore.
If I were to tell them where I got the magic and how to use it, I would have to hold a press conference and answer them all one by oneâ¦
âOh, itâs annoying. bothered!â
Itâs much better to just hide it comfortably.
Damdeok thought so and was trying to persuade Jo Yoon-hee.
â Now letâs look at todayâs highlights.
A handsome man with silver hair appears on screen.
âLeo Luxâ¦?â
Unlike Na Kyung-sooâs interview, his interview was conducted âLIVEâ.
âIs everything better now? You look fine.â
As expected, as he is ranked No. 1 in the world, his resilience seems to be amazing.
He was only wearing a hospital gown and looked very fine on the outside.
âWas my attack too weak?â
Damdeok licked his lips and watched what he would say.
â Itâs magic⦠you might think so. Clearly, he didnât see any skill effects. The black flames and transparent ice chunks were natural.
âAhâ¦â
I never thought even that guy would say it was magic. Damdeok hesitated for words as he received Jo Yoon-heeâs âWhat happened?â look in his eyes.
âYou know mom. âNot everything you see on TV is the truth.â
âYou said earlier that you would know everything if you watched TV?â
âAh, thatâs what youâre saying~ And I totally believe what that person says.â
âIsnât that young man ranked No. 1 in the world?â
ââ¦.â
There was silence for a moment.
Damdeok waved his hand and smiled awkwardly.
âOh, what if Iâm number 1 in the world~ If I really knew how to use magic, I would have beaten that person too?â
According to Joo-yulâs information, the Inspection Bureau is trying to completely hide the fact that he defeated Leo Lux.
Well, they probably thought it would be easy to control since the only witnesses were members of the inspection unit, but honestly, I didnât want to come forward and brag about it.
âIt actually worked out well.â
What difference will it make if you take first place in the rankings? At best, it comes with a series of troublesome tasks that take money, fame, and social considerations into account.
âIf the war of gods breaks out anyway, the world will be in ruins.â
This is because it is all pointless.
Damdeok smiled kindly and emphasized Jo Yoon-hee once again.
âThatâs right, Mom. If you use magic, itâs no problem to climb up the rankings. âWhy am I still outside the top 10?â
ââ¦Well, if my son were a real wizard, he would be in the top 3 in the world rankings, right? âAww, Mom, I donât like being such a burden.â
It was at that time when Jo Yoon-hee smiled and the atmosphere was about to lighten up.
In a close-up of Leo Luxâs face, his mouth slowly opened.
â I donât know if he uses magic or not. What is more important than that is that a man named Yoo Dam-deok⦠made me, the number one person in the world, like this.
The faces of Damdeok and Jo Yoonhee, who were smiling harmoniously, suddenly hardened.
* * *
Jongno Sangun Guild main building.
In the first training hall, Damdeok was looking straight ahead with his arms crossed.
âAre you not paying attention⦠or are you just pretending not to be there?â¦â
In front of me, the silver-haired Leo Lux was swinging a sword.
The elegant movements were as if they were filming an advertisement for a luxury knife.
ââ¦Heâs a really suspicious guy.â
Ju Soo-yul approached Damdeok, who opened his eyes and muttered.
âWhatâs so suspicious?â
âThat guy. âItâs suspicious that you made such a fuss to the media and then came here right after you were discharged.â
âis it.â
âIs that so?â I heard that it was all agreed upon with the Inspection Bureau? But why are you suddenly revealing the fact that you
lost to me to everyone in the neighborhood?â¦â What was the point of making such a bombshell statement to the media on live broadcast, and then coming to see me the very next day?
Thanks to this, Damdeok had to turn off his cell phone that was ringing like it was on fire, and wherever he went, he was flooded with interview requests, so he had to cover his face even in broad daylight.
Ju Soo-yul smiled and responded.
âThey say they are pricked by their conscience and canât hide it. âItâs true that I lost to you, so how can I not pretend that I lost?â
âAh⦠I see. âYou were a hunter with a very rich conscienceâ¦â
As Damdeok muttered soullessly, Jooyul burst into laughter.
âWhatâs funny?â
âjust. âItâs nice and peaceful for the first time in a long time.â
âPeace is shit.â
Unlike Damdeok, who did not like him, Jooyul just leisurely watched Leo Lux practice his swordsmanship.
âBut seeing as you came all the way here to apologize, I donât think youâre a bad person.â
âTch, what about the appleâ¦â
Whenever you treat a person like a criminal, talking about the risk of becoming a monster or a level 1 warningâ¦
Thatâs right. He certainly apologized for the monsterization incident.
And very politely.
He said he was so grief-stricken over losing his younger sister that he couldnât confirm the truth in advance⦠But what could he do when Vermouthâs words he heard before kept ringing in his ears and making him uncomfortable?
âThat guy⦠he clearly uses the godsâ system, so why is he pretending otherwise?â
No matter how hard he thought, he couldnât come up with an answer, so Damdeok finally decided to tell everything to Ju Soo-yul.
âI tried to think about it on my own, but I couldnât come up with an answer.â
âHey, address rate.â
âhuh?â
Ju Soo-yul answered without even looking in this direction. It seemed like he was busy watching the sparring between Baek Gureum and Leo Lux, who had just joined the team.
Damdeok continued speaking seriously.
âI think so. A guy named Leo Lux⦠I think heâs the same as us.â
Ju Soo-yulâs head, which was only looking straight ahead, moved slowly.
Her eyes were shaking slightly as she looked at them.
