Side Story (19)
My room.
No, Saten’s room looked like a place where drugs were manufactured.
The fact that you have to wear a gas mask, and the fact that the lights are white.
If passers-by saw it, they would probably report it to the police.
“Come this way, mister.”
“Ah, yes.”
Saten, wearing a gas mask, led me to her desk.
She showed me her desk and told me about the manufacturing process.
“First of all, to cure modern people’s sleep. I crushed the sleeping pills once. I mean like this.”
Suddenly- Sneaky-
Saten started to crush the sleeping pills with a small mortar.
Then, she put the powdered sleeping pills on a plate and put the lid on.
“This ends here. Then you have to use your magic power. This is a personal question, but what kind of power do you think mana contains?”
“The power contained in magical power?”
Um.
What kind of power went into magic?
I squeezed my hair and wondered what kind of power it might have put into it.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, no answer came out.
“I don’t know because I have no knowledge and no magical powers.”
“Is there anything that comes to your mind?”
“Um, but not.”
“You lack imagination, man. Well, it’s okay. I can fill in the uncle’s lack of imagination. The answer is this.”
Saten closed her eyes and she started muttering something.
I don’t know what you mean because it’s not in Korean.
I seemed to know that something was being chanted.
So, Saten talked to herself and then shouted at the powder she had on her plate.
“Get rid of people’s dreams.”
“What, is that the end?”
“Yes, that’s it. Could it be that you didn’t see the spell?”
What is the spell?
If I said that in real life, I would be socially isolated.
On the contrary, Saten looked at me curiously, as if I were strange.
“My old teacher is dead.”
“So I told you, I am not that person.”
“No, but a man is a man. This is fine too, I just need to teach the old man magic again anyway.”
I don’t have any magic?
But Saten seemed to think she would teach me magic no matter what.
Her expressionless expression was quite frightening, so I asked to change her words.
“So, what did you just do?”
“Ah, I just used magic to change the nature of sleeping pills. And, to answer the question you asked earlier, magic power is… “
Includes user’s thoughts.
Saying that, Saten took out her powder and began condensing it like a pill.
“Originally, I used blood as a medium to use magic. Because of that, I had to hurt myself every time I fought.”
“M, what?”
“Ah, right now, if we don’t fight, we won’t have to fight, so it’s clean.”
Saten stopped what she was doing and showed me her wrist.
Fortunately, she was clean without a single wound.
“But, should I say this world is a bit comfortable? There are many things to use as mediums. Perhaps, since all instructions are written, it is convenient for me to materialize my thoughts.”
Chat –
Saten explained magic and magic to me while making pills.
However, she said her words were too long, and the content was difficult for her to understand.
‘Something, I didn’t study math at all. It feels like going to school.’
I don’t understand a single thing.
I listened to Saten and became a woodpecker nodding her head at her words for a moment.
So naturally, Saten’s medicine manufacturing was completed.
“This is the pill. It’s a drug that prevents you from dreaming.”
“If you eat this, Estiya won’t have nightmares… ?”
“Yes, it is. If I fail, I will have strange dreams like you.”
I never want to have that dream again.
Should I say it’s better to take them to hell?
I took the medicine from Saten and left the room to test it.
Outside was Luna, waking up from a drowsy sleep.
“Yes, uh?”
Luna rubbed her eyes and looked at us.
She started screaming in surprise.
“Joe, Zombie! A zombie apocalypse happened!? That gas mask! Zombies finally appeared!?”
“I can’t believe that. There are no zombies in the world.”
“… Is it so?”
Why are you regretting it?
Deep down, Luna bowed her head, expressing her regret.
It seemed like he wanted the moment when the hero would step out.
“But there are no zombies.”
“Yes, yes… ? It’s sad… “
“Rather than that, if Luna has nothing else to do, will you come along?”
I want to help Estiya.
After saying that, Luna shook her head violently and followed me.
It was the moment when the unemployed warrior got a job again.
***
Estiya basically sleeps.
If Estiya is usually invisible to her.
That means she is sleeping in a bed somewhere.
The Estiya sleeps a lot in her sleep.
“He’s still sleeping.”
“I see!”
“You know what Estiya is like right now, right?”
Nod-
Luna replied with a nod of her head.
“Of course! I even shared a room with Estiya at first! I mean, we were friendly too!”
“Oh, yes? How come she shared the same room?”
“It’s just that the old man threw Estiya in my room because he didn’t have a room! At that time, Estiya was in a very bad condition!”
“… That’s not me.”
I can’t get used to it no matter how much I listen to it.
Lee Jun-woo from another world.
What kind of life did he live?
Thinking about that, I felt like some letters were passing through my head.
“… Book? Library… ?”
“Eh?”
“Oh, no. Let’s quickly give Estiya some medicine.”
Speaking strange words when others hear it.
I put the pill in Estiya’s mouth.
“If Estiya is in pain. You can wake me up And when it starts to run amok… “
“You’re telling me to subdue you, right?”
“Yes, Luna is smart as expected.”
“Who, who do you know as an idiot! They are just using me!”
“Coexistence, not use. Let’s be honest, Luna.”
Anyway.
Leave it to Luna when Estiya goes wild.
We quietly watched Estiya sleeping on the bed.
“Ugh, ummm… Hmm… “
Estiya fell asleep without even knowing the pill was in her mouth.
For the time being, it doesn’t seem like he’ll wake up, but he doesn’t know yet.
When she starts having her nightmares, she intends to wake her up right away.
‘I will never show you the dream I had… ‘
That was a terrible dream that could lead to trauma.
Just thinking about it gave her goose bumps all over her body.
“Umm, there is no reaction.”
“Wait. This is important.”
“Then hold on!”
Hodadak-
Luna cried out for a moment and then ran into the living room.
Then, she picked up her phone and started watching N Flix.
“hehehe, I didn’t see everything yesterday. I have to watch it again!”
“You should stop watching dramas.”
“Why?”
“Not knowing that is the problem.”
I’ll have to socialize him a bit by having him at least have a small gathering later.
Choose the gatherings that will cause fewer accidents as much as possible.
The moment you see Luna who is absorbed in her cell phone.
“Ugh, ugh…” “
Changes began to occur in Estiya’s body.
She started tossing and rolling on her bed, as if she was having a disturbing dream.
“Isn’t this a nightmare!?”
“Perhaps, it seems so… what is the problem… ?”
Is Saten’s drug the problem?
The most probable thing is that Saten’s medicine is the problem…
I brought Saten to her room and asked about this situation.
“Saten, what looks like a problem?”
Saten answered firmly.
“Estiya must be the problem. My medicine will be fine.”
“Confidence is good… Could there be a problem with the medicine?”
“It could be. But, mister, you should know that.”
Medicine can’t always help.
Saying that, Saten looked at Estiya.
“Drugs can help, but in the end, they can’t deal with the underlying problem. That’s why other factors are needed to fix the problem.”
That’s just a trick.
Isn’t that the same as diet supplements?
Saten seemed to be a K-marketing genius.
“After all, the medicine you made is a failure.”
“It’s not a failure, please correct me to regret. And, the problem lies with you, not the medicine.”
“What is that… Should I think for myself?”
“Right, Estiya doesn’t see that as a problem.”
Problems.
Is there any way to solve the problem?
Saten said that medicine is just an aid.
To provide direct assistance…
“The only thing I can do is move… “
Pulsuk-
I went over to the bed and lay down next to Estiya.
“Ah! What are you doing to a sleeping child!”
Luna shouted something at that appearance, but I ignored it and did my job.
When I lay down on the bed and looked at Estiya, her expression looked distressed.
As if having a nightmare, he was also making sounds of pain.
‘I shouldn’t be thinking about doing business with Saten. I feel like I’m going to sue for nothing.’
With that promise, I covered Estiya’s body with a blanket.
So, I gradually started to avoid the frowning expression.
However, she still made a noise as if in pain.
‘In the end, is this the only way to keep Estiya from having nightmares?’
I held Estiya’s hand while she was sleeping.
Estiya’s muscles flinched in surprise as she fell asleep.
But did you notice my warmth?
Her body slowly relaxed and accepted my touch.
In the meantime, Estiya’s expression and voice had all returned to normal.
“hehehe… “
Estiya laughed and talked in her sleep as if she was having a good dream.
“Brother’s hand… Joe… “
“After all, I am the medicine, this.”
Oops, I don’t know.
I had a bad dream too, but I just need to get some more sleep.
I closed my eyes next to Estiya who was sleeping happily.
“… If this is the case, why did you call me, I am annoyed.”
Saten said she was annoyed and went back to her room.
And Luna…
“Why do you curse at my legs and hold Estiya warmly!”
He came between us, angry with me.
Hare is deprived of her most important room, her own…
“… “
They looked at us without saying anything and went into the kitchen.
I was most afraid of Hare’s actions in the warrior party.
‘Even so.’
It would be better to slowly reduce sleep than to suddenly cure it with medicine.
‘I still have less nightmares if I hold her hand.’
While thinking that, I went to bed with Luna and Estiya.
We all felt like we were having a good dream.
