188 – Nymphs and Cliches # 2

Now that I think about it, I have liked thrills for a long time.

Should I say that I liked scary things?

It was natural for me to buy and read books of ghost stories sold at the stationery store in front of school or search for scary stories on YouTube.

It was natural to watch all the various horror movies.

So to speak, I who have been trained like that are like a master of fear.

And in front of me, my younger sister, Hai-rae, was hanging upside down from the ceiling, making noises like an animal.

“Garr, purr…” !”

Can a person stick upside down to the ceiling?

What’s more, a college girl in her early twenties?

Her eyes were white and foam was spouting from her mouth.

Imp Bar Bar asked as she looked at him.

“Hey… ! Who are you? ! The princess I knew, Hai Rae, wasn’t like this… ! The princess’s power is decreasing rapidly… !”

I don’t know what the Princess Calendar is, but I could clearly see that Hyrae was entering an increasingly abnormal state.

The dog squirrel is also rumbling and puffing out its fur.

Ang Ang and Bang Kwang quickly hid behind my back.

“I am a legion… ! I am the Queen of Blades… !”

She even seemed to have forgotten who she was.

“Hey! Hi! Why are you a Legion and the Queen of Blades!?”

Even as I asked that question, I was drawing a certain conclusion.

This situation means one thing.

I knew better than anyone else what that was.

“Hey, Hail too… , did you notice… !?”

Lee Jin-ah seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation and poked my side.

It seems that Jinah Lee also understood the situation.

“Hey… ! Koreirae is rotating her head 360 degrees… ! Oinoi has no idea how this is possible… !”

“I don’t know what it is, but this Coris thinks it would be a good idea to beat him up… ! She should hurry and try to pull Koreirae down from her ceiling… !”

While the nymphs were making a fuss, I summed up the situation and drew a conclusion of my opinion.

“Suddenly increased appetite. A condition in which you hear auditory hallucinations or have difficulty controlling your body, resulting in injuries such as a sprained ankle. And, crucially, even performing eccentricities that ordinary people cannot do.”

There is only one answer.

Jinah Lee and I said the answer at the same time.

“Possession─.”

“It’s an awakening.”

Huh?

From noble mtl dot com

The stories that came out of Jinah Lee’s mouth and mine were different.

I thought for sure that I was possessed by a ghost.

Lee Jin-ah discussed awakening.

I asked.

“Awakening?”

Awakening literally meant opening one’s eyes to some kind of power or ability. Those who completed awakening in this way were called awakeners, and Lee Jin-ah and I were one of those awakeners.

“Haildo, didn’t you also experience a similar phenomenon when you awakened? Suddenly, my metabolism becomes active and I feel extremely hungry. Body control becomes difficult due to the increased mana.”

“After listening….”

“Also, those who have just begun to awaken are as unstable as a Coke PT bottle that has shaken their minds, so they often have auditory hallucinations.”

Oh.

Lee Jin-ah’s reasoning seems plausible.

But isn’t awakening something that usually happens in one’s teens?

Hai Rae was over twenty years old.

Are there cases where people over 20 suddenly awaken?

Usually, those who become awakened will show some signs during their teenage years.

So, it was common for those who would become awakened to be brought in in advance at the national level, inspected for various reasons, and managed thoroughly.

“I’ll drop you off first.”

Zek-.

I first grabbed Hyrae from the ceiling and tied his arms and legs to the bed.

“Arrr, rrr, rrr…” !”

An awakened person who had just awakened and went on a rampage could not control his body well, so there was no telling what kind of accident he might cause.

So, it is wise to restrain the body.

“It is clear that he is possessed by the devil…” ! This Barbaro is a small devil… ! I know very well about the phenomenon of being possessed by demons or ghosts… ! We need to kick them out quickly… !”

However, Barbaros continued to insist on possession by the devil or ghost.

Zek-.

Barbar took out a cross made of iron from somewhere.

Barbar heated it up with his breath of fire and held it close to Hyrae’s face.

“Hey… !”

“I want you to look at this… ! People who are possessed by devils or ghosts show suffering on the cross like this… ! This is the proof… !”

No, wouldn’t it be natural for anyone to suffer if a piece of iron so hot as to be blazing is held close to their face?

I was also a bit curious about whether it was okay for the little devil Barbarossa to hold a cross.

“I don’t know what it is, but first of all, let’s beat everyone up… ! We nymphs should also do our best with both hands full for Koreirae… !”

“This Coris also thinks that’s a good thing… !”

The nymphs with clenched fists began to beat Hairae, who was tied to the bed.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

“aaah~”

Hi-Rae screams.

Then, perhaps because she came to her senses, Ha Rae spoke.

“Oh, brother! Help me! Why am I tied up? “Let me go!”

“You shouldn’t listen…” ! The evil spirit has not yet escaped… ! They’re trying to deceive people… ! This Barbar, the best imp comrade, knows… !”

I’m out of my mind.

It was the very moment when I thought about whether I should stop the nymphs who kept hitting Hyrae.

━Kheng… !

Something made a sharp sound and jumped out of her body.

It was as pale as smoke.

I wondered if Hyrae had spit out a plastic bag, but when I looked closely, it had four legs and a fluffy tail, and it looked quite cute.

Oinoi said after seeing that.

“Ah! That guy is called “Nightmare Raccoon”… ! It is a rare species of “Chili raccoon” And the probability of finding it is as difficult as a nightmare, making it an extremely rare and rare raccoon… !”

Nightmare Raccoon.

It is a raccoon that is as difficult as a nightmare to find.

She was also said to be a ghost-type animal that appears guided by people’s bad dreams. After listening to it, I thought it really looked like a raccoon.

━KengKeng… !

“Hey… ! Something came out of my body! What is that!”

Hai Rae was greatly surprised.

The nightmare raccoon must have been startled by the sound and tried to escape from this room by moving its translucent body.

When I saw that, I said to Kungkungi.

“Kkkkkkkkk! “Try to catch it first!”

━Crumbling… !

Pot-!

A cat leaped into the air with her tail feathers puffed out.

However, Keungkeungi’s attack passed through the translucent nightmare raccoon’s body and crashed into the wall.

“The nightmare raccoon is an animal with no substance… ! It is impossible to capture or defeat it with ordinary attacks… !”

I have heard that in the UK and Europe, insubstantial spirit-type monsters often appear.

I also saw it on Kira’s channel!

I had only heard about it in videos and words, but it was my first time seeing it in person, so it was very surprising and exciting!

━KengKeng… !

The nightmare raccoon cried.

She seemed quite angry as she even fluffed up her fur.

Oinoi said after seeing that.

“The nightmare raccoon can possess people… ! However, possession can only be done by people with magical powers… ! The owner of the house is told to be careful… !”

Are you saying that only awakened people can be possessed?

Pot-!

At that time, the nightmare raccoon ran towards Jinah Lee.

“What?”

Lee Jin-ah was taken aback as if she hadn’t even thought about it.

But Jinah Lee quickly raised her fist and struck the nightmare raccoon’s body with all her might.

“What is this?”

Didn’t you say that ordinary attacks are invalid?

However, Nightmare Raccoon was hit by the honey chestnut and fell down on the floor.

Coris said after seeing that.

“Junkore Jina is an evil and bad type of Korain…” ! And sometimes evil and bad people aren’t even afraid of ghosts… !”

In my life, I often heard people say, “What do ghosts do? They don’t catch people like that.”

Those people were delinquent people who were not afraid of things like gods or ghosts, and it seemed that ghosts and ghosts were actually harmed by such people.

It was a reasonable story.

# # #

It seemed like the nightmare raccoon was living in this house that Jin-ah Lee had moved into.

The previous owners were ordinary people with little magical power, so it was impossible to see the nightmare raccoon.

How scary was it when the transparent thing moved, dropped things, and made footsteps?

“I thought it was cheap, but it turned out to be a haunted house. To be exact, it’s a raccoon that resembles a ghost, but I like it anyway. Because I bought it cheaply, I bought it cheaply. “hehehe.”

Lee Jin-ah clenched her fists, saying that whatever it was, she had caught it.

Soon Hairae came to her senses and her body trembled.

“What is this, you raccoon! “It’s so cute!”

Hairae picked up the nightmare raccoon that was lying on the floor.

Even though the raccoon was possessing her own body, she didn’t seem to be very scared.

Here I have a question.

“The nightmare raccoon that possesses the awakened person possessed Hyrae. Hi, are you really awake?”

“I don’t know about that?”

I see.

While I was thinking, Hairae said.

“Can’t I raise this raccoon? So cute!”

The nightmare raccoon stayed calm in Hairae’s arms.

As someone who lives with various animals such as Kkungkkungi, Kwangkkungi, Angangi, Miongi, and Kalinoi, I could be considered an expert on the compatibility between humans and animals.

In my opinion, the compatibility between “Nightmare Raccoon” And Hairae seemed quite good.

“Now that you think about it, you’ve often said that you see strange things since long ago.”

When I became a middle school student-.

It reminded me of Hai Rae’s elementary school days.

Ha Yi-rae just said, “Mom, there’s something strange floating in the air!” And started aggro towards her mom and dad.

And sometimes she would go crazy and climb up a tree and throw acorns at my friends.

So, my friends used to ask, “Haildo, is your sister a crazy monkey?”

She was a shameful younger sister in many ways.

At the time, my mother said, “If a girl is this rude, it will be difficult for her to get married…” . My body is healthy and there is nothing wrong with me, so what is the problem? .” She pondered.

“Didn’t you drink the talismanic decoction water at that time and get completely healed?”

Her mother heard a strange story that if she drank the amulet of the mighty Bodhisattva, she would completely get better, so she bought the amulet for more than three times her father’s salary, and after that, Ha-rae completely recovered!

“Yes. “If I think about it now, it was from then on that I started to have a lot of confidence in folk remedies!”

That was before the world changed greatly.

However, when I think about it now, I wonder if it was a precursor to Hai Rae’s awakening.

“Hey, that’s really interesting. Did she suppress the awakening omen with a talisman? After that, I lived a normal life, but it seems like I completely woke up to being possessed by a nightmare raccoon?”

It was just my guess, but it made some sense.

He must have been a truly brave shaman.

I guess I’ll have to ask my mom who made that amulet.

“Have I become an awakened person too? Oh wow… ! Can I then shoot fireworks from my hands or lasers from my eyes? You can become the queen of blades… !?”

She seemed very happy that she had become an awakened person.

She wouldn’t have known it 10 years ago, but it was quite a good thing she became an awakened person in today’s world.

She doesn’t blindly push awakened people to their deaths.

To determine her exact condition since her birth, it would be a good idea for her to undergo a thorough examination at a professional facility.

Anyway.

In this way, the “Nightmare Raccoon” Incident ended well.

“Now that I think about it, she has to live in a house that might be haunted again. Heildo, she often comes to visit and check if I am alive or dead. Got it? “I’ll tell you the house password.”

And I obtained the door lock password to Jinah Lee’s house.

「Ariya, are you feeling okay? “This time, my younger sister became an awakened person.”

Yuari looked at her pile of messages and raised the corners of her mouth.

However, the corner of the mouth quickly returned to its original position.

Jangle jangle-.

A loud ringing sound was heard.

A house in a shabby residential area with colorful flags fluttering.

The smell of her familiar incense ascended through her body, reminding her of memories from long ago, and Yua Li frowned at her.

When she was a student wearing her school uniform, she opened the iron door that she had pushed with all her might several times, and a cramped yard appeared with a loud sound.

Yu-ri Yua turned her eyes to the dizzying array of porcelain dolls in the form of Buddha statues, fairies, and spirits.

Creak-.

When I opened the door of the house and entered, I saw a woman sitting in a dark room.

She was a woman wearing a colorfully decorated hanbok and a red hat with impressive pheasant tail feathers. Her age was hard to tell.

Jangle, jangle, jangle, jangle-!

The more Ari walked, the louder the sound of her bells became.

Soon the woman under the red hat opened her eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

“You came with all kinds of things hanging around. Your body is just like a car with the key in the door and the door wide open. “As long as someone steps on the pedal, it will go anywhere.”

“… ….”

“Is that why you came to me? I don’t have much time left either. My spiritual power is also fading away. “Ariya, since your mother rejected the divine spirit and ran away, you are the only bloodline I have left.”

“… ….”

“Ari, the time has come for you to stop wandering and accept your fate. We are the bodies that have received the spirit of General for generations since our ancestors… , It is my destiny to pass on my karma to you.”

Yua Li raised her head without answering.

From a young age, Yua Lee was extremely embarrassed that her grandmother was a shaman.

It especially got worse during her adolescence.

‘That’s exactly why I wanted to run away.’

One side of the shrine. A mural depicting gods.

There, a woman said to be a mighty general god was wearing her shield and spear in each of her hands, and her helmet pressed deeply on her head.

The name of the general god served by the Virgin Bodhisattva was Athena, the goddess of war.

Yua Lee has known that fact ever since she was little… I was embarrassed.
