Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

The enjoyable(?) medicinal bath date with Independent Demon ended after some time had passed.

…Hmm, in fact, it wasn’t enjoyable and it wasn’t a date, but let’s push aside such trivial things for now.

Still, if we had to judge whether it was good or not, it was on the good side? Although it was a bit burdensome, it was comfortable and somewhat good.

“Was it a pleasant time?”

“Uh… I think so?”

“That’s fortunate. It wasn’t just me who enjoyed it.”

Independent Demon, who put on a robe-like garment with green patterns as soon as she got out of the bath, said indifferently with an expressionless face.

…When she speaks like that, I’m not sure if she really enjoyed it or what. She did enjoy it, right? It seems so…

We were in the deep green medicinal bath together, two healthy adults with not a single thread on our bodies stuck close together, but nothing particularly happened.

We just sipped the poison liquor Independent Demon had prepared and chatted in the bath.

To be honest, when she even made me drink poison liquor, I thought she might be trying to eat me, but strangely, it seems that wasn’t the case.

‘Yet I can clearly tell there’s a deep liking there…’

Honestly, I’m not very good at reading the atmosphere, but I can’t help but notice when someone sticks to me this aggressively. Of course, it could just be the delusion of a virgin?

If this was a delusion, I’d definitely be kicking my blanket before sleep for a month. Hmm…

…Come to think of it, that’s horrifying in its own way.

But then again, thinking of Wi Ji-young who usually maintains an expressionless face, I’m not certain. She did smile widely in the middle, but that was just once…

‘Anyway, she’s really pretty…’

Taller than an average adult male, her body is beautifully slender and firm while still having all the curves in the right places.

Her hair, black on the outside and green on the inside, gives an exotic feel, and her deep green eyes seem to suck people in.

‘The problem is that it’s extremely burdensome…’

However, that beauty, tall stature, Independent Demon Wi Ji-young’s unique strange pressure, and the status of a transcendent who has reached EX-rank appear like the sun hanging beyond a cliff.

A being that’s beautiful and attractive but extremely burdensome, as if I’d burn to death if I approached.

This isn’t limited to just Wi Ji-young, but anyway, that’s how it is.

I’ve met S-rank and higher superhumans and people like mountain gods, but that doesn’t mean my nature changes overnight. Now I’m just more adapted and have let go of some things compared to before.

Yet, paradoxically, I don’t particularly dislike such things. Despite feeling the burden.

Hmm, is it the ordinary citizen’s and common person’s yearning for the unusual, something like that?

…I feel like there’s no point in thinking deeply about this kind of thing. I should stop these random thoughts.

“Even I feel a bit embarrassed when you stare so intently, teacher.”

“Ah! S-sorry…?”

Aish, I got too lost in random thoughts and this happened…?!

“It’s fine. It’s a good thing that you’ve fallen for me.”

“…I-I haven’t fallen for you though?”

“Then that’s not such a good thing.”

“Haha…”

Oh geez, when she speaks so indifferently and carelessly with that expressionless face, I can’t tell if she’s serious or joking.

“It’s about time to prepare to leave, teacher. Although we were a bit late enjoying the bath, isn’t it time for lunch?”

“Ah, oh. That’s right.”

Anyway, I put on my clothes and followed behind Independent Demon as she slowly walked.

Then Independent Demon, who glanced at me, grabbed my shoulder and slightly pulled me to walk beside her.

“It’s better to walk side by side. Don’t you think?”

“I-is that so?”

By the way, last time Wi Ji-young’s servants helped here and there, but this time she’s not thinking of letting go at all.

Like that, as I followed Independent Demon, we reached a place where lunch was just being set on the table.

“Since it’s lunch, I prepared it not too heavily. I hope you enjoy it comfortably.”

“…Isn’t this too sumptuous for not being heavy?”

For a light meal, the table is laden to the point of breaking, is this right…?

“Anyway, thank you. I’ll eat well?”

This time too, guided by Independent Demon’s hand, I sat right next to her and started eating the lunch that was set closer to Korean cuisine than Chinese, perhaps in consideration of me. To be more precise, it was close to the usual home-cooked meal I eat normally.

‘It’s delicious!’

Although it was quite burdensome to have an EX-rank superhuman sitting right next to me, occasionally stopping to stare at me expressionlessly while eating… Still, the meal was really delicious.

I ate really deliciously last time too… Whoever the cook is, they must be a really good cook.

“You’re eating deliciously, Teacher Han-ul. Would you like to have a drink while eating?”

“I’m fine with alcohol since I drank earlier.”

“Oh, that’s a shame… With the poison-neutralizing pill I sent you before and the effects of the bath added, you wouldn’t even feel drunk.”

“Hahaha…”

“I should have designed it not to remove the effects of alcohol.”

‘No, what are you trying to do by making me drunk…?’

Such a thought suddenly crossed my mind, but I didn’t say it out loud.

Seeing Independent Demon’s behavior today, if I mentioned that, I feel like she would maintain that characteristic expressionless face and say, ‘Are you curious? Then let’s check directly with your body.’ and pounce on me scarily…! I’m scared…!!

Of course, it might not be the case, but how can I not be suspicious?? There’s nothing I can do…

Anyway, a little later when lunch was over, Independent Demon, who poured me a cup of tea perhaps as a palate cleanser, opened her mouth.

“Originally, I was planning to take a walk together after this… but we have guests, so that will have to be postponed a bit.”

“Huh? Guests?”

“Yes. Uninvited guests I didn’t particularly invite… but they’re probably acquaintances of yours.”

Independent Demon, who looked somewhere with indifferent eyes, soon withdrew her gaze and stared at me again.

“This isn’t bad either. Come with me, teacher. I have something to show you too…”

Like that, I headed to a room with Independent Demon, and Independent Demon sat cross-legged on a splendid chair set in quite a high place, and I sat awkwardly on the chair prepared next to it.

“They’re here.”

And a little later, along with Independent Demon’s murmur, the door placed in front smashed to pieces and dust rose, then the uninvited guests Independent Demon mentioned appeared from inside.

“You Independent Demon bastard…!! To plot such a cowardly act!”

“Give back our Han-ul!!”

“You’re ignoring my teacher?! Wait a moment, teacher!!”

“…Wait, ‘my’ teacher??”

“Uh, huh?! Th-that’s not the important thing right now, is it?!”

“It seems like a very important issue nya!!”

“…Kids, what are you doing??”

And the identity of those uninvited guests was…! The guys living with me!!

But at first they appeared hardboiled and acted like they were rescuing a princess captured by the Demon King, but suddenly there’s internal strife…!! I’ve been living with these good-for-nothing guys!

…Tsk, come to think of it, the lines seem a bit impure too.

“This is just right. The eyes watching are appropriate.”

And Independent Demon, who was looking down at them indifferently, stretched out her hand.

The Independent Demon Subjugation Party formed to rescue the princ… no no, Dam Han-ul, who was suddenly captured by Independent Demon!!

“It’s urgent, what plane?! Just run!!”

Most of them being S-rank, they decided to just run across the sea towards Independent Demon’s mansion located in China since the situation was urgent. The superhumans with lower ranks stuck close to the S-ranks.

Because it’s urgent, they started a full-speed advance across the sea towards a foreign country!

However, surprisingly, the path of this terrifying full-speed advance party was not so smooth!

“Kuhaha! What a nice sea! I want to bring the entire sea of this star under my domain, but it seems impossible with my skill, so I should rule over just this area of the sea befitting my ability, not coveting other places, and live a long and thin life leisurely! Kuhahaha!!”

Suddenly, a monster with a huge fish face appeared while crossing the sea!

An S-rank monster that popped out from a dungeon that had opened under the sea, but… this monster wasn’t so lucky.

“What’s with this fish head?!”

“Get out of the way, you bastard!!”

Kwaaaaaaang-!!!!!

“Kuaaaaaak?!?!”

It encountered a party including multiple S-ranks as soon as it appeared!

“Oh, shit… I should have just played under the surface without causing trouble…”

The fish monster, which had a grand entrance but modest dreams, closed its eyes in resentment and sank to the bottom of the sea!

Anyway, although such small obstacles on the way took up some time, they couldn’t stop those who had become a runaway train, and after some time had passed, they finally succeeded in breaking the door and appearing where Independent Demon was.

…However, not long after making a splendid entrance, they showed signs of division by being engulfed in internal strife, but fortunately or unfortunately, Independent Demon moved first before the division could occur.

A hand stretched out neither quickly nor slowly.

And beyond that, a tremendous torrent of magic power.

Saaaaa…

What was drawn in under Independent Demon’s control was none other than green sand.

To be more precise, all of the sand from the Great Heat Demon Realm that had been eroded by Independent Demon Wi Ji-young’s poison.

Guuuuu-

“…This is crazy…?”

“Th-this is…!!”

A tremendous amount of poison sand enough to block the sky and sun.

That which stood firmly in the sky for a moment as if boasting its vastness and mightiness soon began to be absorbed into Independent Demon.

Once eroded by Independent Demon’s poison, it was nothing more than Independent Demon’s possession.

Kugugugugugu-!!!

Soon, Independent Demon, who had completely absorbed the torrent of green sand boasting a size larger than an ordinary country in no time at all, twisted up the corners of her mouth.

“Although I said I’ve reached the realm, words alone seemed insufficient. How was it, teacher? My proof, that is.”

Although her gaze and words were directed at Dam Han-ul, the group that had come to find Independent Demon couldn’t help but freeze.

“I hope you liked it. It’s the power of the woman who will be with you from now on.”

Those who had come to Independent Demon’s mansion without any obstacles momentarily froze, overwhelmed.
