I am not a returner Chapter 378:
Sister (2)
[My child!]
As soon as he entered the temple, Vega (body version) instantly flew over and hugged Ojin as if pounced on him.
She had tears in her eyes as she groped Oh Jin’s whole body like an airport checkpoint employee.
[How are you feeling? Is there any pain anywhere?]
“It’s okay.”
Ojin shrugged his shoulders and gave a light jolt.
Blue sparks floated in the air, freely changing their forms as if they were alive.
A sigh of relief flowed from Vega’s mouth at the natural, flowing operation of magical power.
“Vega, how are you? Have all restrictions been lifted?”
[There is still some left. Still, I think I’ll be able to manifest within the next week or so.]
“I’m d.”
Ohjin smiled slightly and looked around.
“What about Riak?”
“Here, little one.”
Riak strolls out from the stairs leading to the temple’s basement.
Maybe he had been training just a moment ago, but the silvery fur covering his body was soaked as if he had been in and out of the water.
“You said you fought the ck Star Constetion?”
“uh. “That’s how it happened.”
“Huh, I never
thought we would win against the Constetion…” Riak shook his head with an expression of disgust.
Oh Jin smiled and continued speaking.
“I have to fight and win against the Heavenly Demon, but it’s about a constetion.”
“Well… that isn’t wrong either.”
Riak continued speaking while looking at Ojin’s left chest.
“So you ate up the ck Star Constetion? With your ‘ck sky’.”
“That’s…”
Oh Jin hesitated to answer for a moment and then nodded without saying a word.
Anyway, since it was already discovered that he had the ck Sky, there was nothing more to hide.
“Crumbling.”
Riak red sharply at Ojin, who nodded.
Even though he was ring at me, it wasn’t a particrly hostile look, but rather a look of confusion.
‘It’s worth it.’
Although Vega said that they had many opportunities to open up their feelings to each other as they became lovers, that was not the case with Riak.
It is also true that after his true identity was discovered, his rtionship with Riak became quite awkward.
“…Okay, I got it.”
Riak turns around with aplicated expression.
“I’m not done with my training yet, so I’ll just leave.”
“Ria…”
Ojin, who was trying to catch Riak as he trudged towards the temple basement, soon lowered his raised arm with a bitter expression.
Whatever the reason, it was entirely my fault that my rtionship with him had be so awkward.
He was not in a position to say anything just because Riak was avoiding him.
When Vega was also looking at the two and sighing sadly.
“bantling.”
“huh?”
“…I’ll spar with youter.”
Huh.
Riak cleared his throat awkwardly and avoided eye contact.
A smile naturally spread across Ojin’s lips.
It felt like the awkward atmosphere disappeared in an instant like snow melting.
“You should be embarrassed, kid.”
“Who are you saying were embarrassed?”
Riak fiercely bared his teeth and growled.
Ojin burst intoughter and walked up to Riak and lightly patted his back.
“Okay, let’s meet upter. Even if we fight in the sanctuary this time, I’ll win, right?”
“joy. “You’re so arrogant for a kid who couldn’t evenst 5 seconds before falling out.”
“Hey, that was already a few years ago, right?”
“Isn’t that wrong?”
Riak raises the corners of his mouth as if showing off.
Ojin’s eyebrows rose high.
It felt like hearing a close friend say, ‘You’re so bad at games.’
Oh Jin, who usually did not flinch from even the slightest provocation, boiled over like fire.
“Then shall we join now?”
“I’m excited.”
“What are you scared of?”
“what?”
Ojin and Riak re at each other fiercely.
[Both of you, stop.]
Vega intervened between the two as if he couldn’t stop them.
[ha. How can men really be like children no matter how old they get?]
Vega sighs and clicks his tongue.
Ojin and Riak, perhaps ovee with shame, avoided each other’s gaze and repeatedly cleared their throats.
‘Keuyeah.’
Ojin swallowed deep sleep as the wise man’s time surged.
Maybe it was because I grew up without any same-sex friends until now, but it felt unfamiliar.
Well, whatever.
“I’m just going to go in now, kid!”
It didn’t feel too bad.
Ojin looked back at Riak as he went down to the temple basement and smiled slightly.
[Whoa. Friendship between men is really simple.]
“Well, that’s the only advantage.”
Ojin shrugged his shoulders and approached Vega.
I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and held it out to Vega.
“Vega, do you know who the person drawn on this paper is?”
[Hmm?]
Vega tilted his head and took the paper with a white-haired man drawn on it.
[…!]
Vega’s eyes widened.
She stared at Ojin with quivering golden eyes.
[Where did you see this interest?]
“What’s wrong?”
[Didn’t you ask me where I saw it?]
Vega shouts as if urging.
Ojin’s expression hardened at the vivid fear and anxiety conveyed in her eyes.
Who on earth is that white-haired man that causes Vega to be so excited?
“I saw it in Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.”
[Then… I guess I didn’t see it in person.]
Sigh.
Vega sighs in relief and rubs her chest.
“Who is it?”
[Uhm.]
Vega hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth in a low voice.
[His name is Moebius. It is the constetion of Ophiuchus and the first constetion to break the w’ and appear on Earth.]
The first constetion to break thew.
A being that broke the rules, twisted them, and destroyed them.
“Please exin in more detail.”
[I understand.]
Vega nodded and continued.
[This happened not long after the first crack opened.] At a
time when the whole world was covered in chaos.
It was such a desperate time that demonic beasts pouring out of the demon world covered more than half of the earth.
[I don’t know the reason, but I heard that Moebius vited thew and used the ‘Sanctuary’ on Earth.]
“If he used the Sanctuary back then…”
It is only now that the restrictions of thew have be somewhat weaker. However, at that time, it was difficult to appear in a prosthetic form unless you were a constetion of the North Star like Vega.
If only I had used the sanctuary back then.
“How did you not disappear?”
[Even I don’t know about that.]
Vega shook her head and continued.
[Anyway, unlike now, the Constetions at the time considered breaking the w’ a very serious sin.]
Well, thew that now restricts the Constetions was a kind of regtion created by the Creator, so it was a ‘sin’ for the Constetions to break it. It wasn’t strange to think about it.
‘In terms of Christianity, it’s like the Ten Commandments.’
The holy rule that the power of the Constetion should not be used in ces other than the sanctuary.
I woke up.
Trampled and crushed.
“So you were expelled from the sanctuary?”
[I heard so.]
ording to Vega, the current 12 signs of the zodiac were created when ‘Mobius’, who was a member of the 13 signs of the zodiac at the time, was expelled from the sanctuary.
[Actually, I have never seen or talked to her in person, but… rumor has it that she is powerful enough to rival the constetion of the North Star, and is very cunning and vicious.]
“…Really?”
Before meeting Ojin, Vega, who had secluded herself in the temple and never stepped outside, must have been quite infamous even among the Constetions to have heard such a rumor.
‘It’sparable to the constetion of the North Star.’
Just by looking at Vega’s expression, you could tell that it was a powerful constetion that could not even bepared to Ancdus, whom it had faced not long ago.
‘There’s one more person to worry about besides the Heavenly Demon.’
Ojin touched his forehead as if he had a headache.
“Thanks for letting me know, Vega.”
[Are you really nning on chasing Moebius?]
“No, I don’t think I can beat him right now even if I chase him.”
If the rank of the ck Star’s executive officers matches that of the ck Star Constetion.
Moebius is probably the most powerful being among the ck Star constetions.
I had just captured Ancdus, the lowest ranked person, but I couldn’t just aim for the leader.
‘Well, it’s not an RPG game, so it’s not like you can meetter if you want to.’
At least I had no intention of going after Moebius directly.
[It’s a wise idea.]
“Then I’ll just go back.”
[Are you going back already?]
Vega looked at Ojin with a sad expression.
Oh Jin told the story about Isabe with a bitter smile.
[iced coffee. It must be quite disappointing for that child.]
Vega also gently pinched Ojin’s cheek as if he sympathized.
[Anyway, he’s a bad kid.]
“Okay.”
[Hehe. Then, go tomorrow andfort the child well.]
“Okay. “I’ll see you when the Vega restrictions are over.”
[Can’t it be done before then?]
Are you saying you don’t want to wait even a week?
Oh Jin chuckled and nodded.
“I’lle visit you one more time before then when I have time.”
Although I hate to admit it.
In any case, in order to increase the power of the stigmata of Lyra, it was necessary to periodically engage in ‘star coption’ with Vega.
[Take care, my child.]
Ojin walked out of the temple, leaving behind Vega, who smiled brightly and waved his hand.
and.
He would not return to the sanctuary until Vega’s restrictions were lifted.
* * *
“Let’s see… I said I’d arrive at 8:20 p.m., right?”
Oh Jin drove the car to Incheon International Airport and checked the estimated arrival time of the ne received from Roberto.
It waste in the evening when Isabe, who seemed to have left everything behind, including her family, as she still had a lot of work left to do in Italy, returned home.
‘There’s no need to force yourself toe.’
He says he wille though, so what can I do?
Oh Jin arrived at Incheon International Airport with a short sigh.
I went to the exit I was scheduled to arrive at and waited for Isabe.
“Why is there no one at the airport?”
Isabe wasing on the Colgrande family’s private ne, not a regr ne, so no one was seen at the exit where she was supposed toe out.
Oh Jin put down the shopping bag containing the expensive wine he bought as a gift and as an apology next to the chair and waited for Isabe toe out.
So it was 8:30.
“I’ll be arriving soon and going through immigration.”
9 o’clock.
“…It’s taking a little longer than I thought. “It’s a private ne, so you won’t have to look for luggage.”
9:30.
“Is the ne dyed?”
no.
If you think about it, there is no reason for a private ne to be dyed.
When Ojin was frowning and staring at the airport exit with no oneing out.
Wooooow!
The smartphone I had in my pocket vibrated.
The name that appeared on the screen was Roberto.
“hello?”
-Oh Mr. Ojin! Have you arrived there?!
“no. I’ve been waiting, but it hasn’te out for an hour. “What is this situation?”
-Ahhh. How could something so ridiculous happen like this?
Roberto’s voice was heard, filled with fear.
“What’s going on?”
Ojin asked, suppressing the ominous feeling that spread down his spine.
Roberto continued with a trembling voice.
-The ne thedy was on… went missing.
what?
