Chapter 141

The last visitor was the Dolharbang Yokai “Reubangyi,” whom I had met before in Jeju Island.

“What, you’re already here?”

[Reubang!]

I did invite her, but I didn’t expect her to visit this quickly. It seems she really wants to leave this place and cross over to the world of Yokai as soon as possible.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — How the hell did that rock bastard cross the sea?

[Reverse Rape Mania] — Maybe she took a plane?

[Qkrnfl892] — How would a Yokai take a plane? Damn it.

[Yoho] — There might be a Yokai-exclusive plane. Like the one the Room Master took.

[Se-hoon Defense Team] — I doubt Yokai society is that meticulously organized.

[Handsome Licker] — If she didn’t take a plane, she probably just swam here. *Lick*.

[Min Ji] — Can a Dolharbang even swim?

[Big Girl] — She’s a Yokai, after all.

[Balloon Gum Collector] — Wow! The maid must be super nervous right now!

[Drifting AI] — I’ll speak. The maid is currently hiding behind a tree, glaring at Reubangyi.

[Cat-eared Woman] — A Dolharbang Yokai? Is that the one Ri Hwa mentioned last time?

[Maehwa Tree] — Correct. And don’t call her by her real name.

[Cat-eared Woman] — Ri Hwa~ Maehwa~

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — Ri Hwa’s crotch~

[Cat-eared Woman] — Ri Hwa’s crotch~

[Maehwa Tree] — You’re really dead if I see you.

[Balloon Gum Collector] — Wow. Cat-eared Woman is being influenced by Guburi.

“…Reubang, come in for now.”

I couldn’t leave the guest standing at the door, so I tried to bring her inside.

[Take this first, *spit* Reubang!]

*Thud.*

Reubangyi spat something out of her mouth. Upon closer inspection, it was a box of Jeju tangerines.

“Huh? Why tangerines all of a sudden?”

[It’s a housewarming gift, Reubang.]

“No, you didn’t have to… You could’ve come empty-handed.”

[Min Ji] — Hmm. Isn’t that a bit dirty…?

[Se-hoon Defense Team] — Seriously, why would you store a gift in your mouth? That’s gross.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — Besides, it’s not like we moved. What’s with the housewarming gift? Damn it.

[Qkrnfl892] — Where did she even get that? Did she steal it?

[Big Girl] — Everyone, stop nitpicking. She’s a Yokai.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — That bitch’s “She’s a Yokai” is so damn annoying.

I decided to accept the tangerine box gratefully. She went through the trouble of bringing a gift, so I couldn’t refuse her kindness.

“Anyway, thank you. I’ll take it.”

[Reubang!]

Just as I was about to pick up the box that had fallen to the floor…

[Po. Po. Po. Po.]

A familiar melody echoed from somewhere. Behind Reubangyi, far in the distance, an Eight-foot Yokai was walking toward us. On the Yokai’s shoulder was a small stone sculpture.

[Popo!]

[Oppa, hello!]

It was Popo and Posun, father and daughter.

I looked down at Reubangyi and asked.

“What’s this? Did you bring Popo and Posun too?”

[They wanted to come, so I brought them, Reubang.]

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — Does Gyesekkihoon think his house is a hotel? You’re dead, you bitches.

[Big Girl] — It’s fine if they come to visit. Why are you so angry, Guburi?

[Handsome Licker] — Ugly people are always violent online. *Lick*.

[Min Ji] — That’s why Yoho is so violent.

[Yoho] — ?

[Qkrnfl892] — More importantly, how did they really cross the sea?

[Se-hoon Defense Team] — They probably used magic.

[Maehwa Tree] — Yeah, walking on water is easy.

[Cat-eared Woman] — Not just Yokai, but most exorcists can do it too.

[Reverse Rape Mania] — I want to walk on water too.

[Jujijoa] — Even without magic or shamanism, you can just run really fast.

[Reverse Rape Mania] — Stop talking nonsense.

[Meng Yao] — Juji can do it.

I hadn’t invited the father and daughter, but since we’re acquainted, I decided to welcome them warmly.

Popo, Posun, and Reubangyi came inside the house.

By the way, Popo had shrunk his body. It seems he can transform his body like Min Neong.

[Min Ji] — Popo and Posun brought gifts too.

[Yoho] — Reubangyi told them to bring it.

[Min Ji] — Yoho, how do you know that?

[Yoho] — Posun said it when she handed over the gift. Pay attention to the broadcast. -_-

Anyway.

I roughly understood why the Popo family came to our house as we entered.

“So, you want to cross over to the Yokai world like Reubangyi, right?”

[Po. Po.]

[Yes! I’m a Yokai now, so I want to live in the Yokai world rather than the human world! I hate humans! Except for Oppa!]

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — That damn Eight-foot bastard. He can speak human language, so why does he keep saying “Po Po”? You’re dead.

[Big Girl] — He’s a Yokai.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — Shut up, you bitch.

“…Kids. I told Reubangyi this before, but I don’t know yet if we can cross over to another world. The Drifting Restaurant originally only allows one person to enter, so I need to go and negotiate. And even if we can cross over, the world you want might not exist.”

I might not be able to help.

So don’t get your hopes up.

When I added that, the Yokai nodded as if it didn’t matter and replied.

[It’s okay. We just want to try every possible method, Reubang.]

[Po. Po. Po.]

[That’s right! If it doesn’t work, we’ll just find another way!]

“You’re quite positive… But I thought exorcists don’t indiscriminately exorcise Yokai anymore. Is there really a need to cross over to another world?”

[Reubang.]

[I and Dad want to cross over because we hate humans, not exorcists. Oh, except for Oppa.]

[I feel the same as my daughter, Popo.]

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — That damn kid keeps flirting with Gyesekkihoon.

[Handsome Licker] — Lol, she’s asking for a beating. *Lick*.

[Min Ji] — What did Reubangyi say?

[Maehwa Tree] — Se-hoon. The elder exorcists have issued orders to form cooperative relationships with Yokai and recruit friendly Yokai, but not all exorcists are following those orders.

[Cat-eared Woman] — That’s right. There are still many like Ri Hwa who deeply despise Yokai. Perceptions can’t change overnight.

Reading Maehwa and Cat-eared Woman’s chat, it seemed like crossing over to another world would indeed be safer.

Of course, there’s also the option of protecting them in our house, but I didn’t suggest it. If the family suddenly grows too much, the maid might feel uncomfortable.

‘We’re already raising two, and if three more join, it’ll be a bit overwhelming… Maybe one would be fine.’

Thinking that, I stroked the blue orb. It was said to turn red when the Drifting Restaurant opens.

“…Anyway, the Drifting Restaurant hasn’t opened yet, so let’s stay at our house and wait until the opening notice comes. Got it?”

[Reubang Reubang.]

[Popo.]

[Posun!]

After hearing the Yokai’s response, I looked around for a moment. The maid and Min Neong had been missing since earlier.

‘Where are they hiding… Oh, there they are. But what are they doing?’

The maid was hiding behind a wall, glaring fiercely at the new Yokai. Min Neong was tilting her head, watching the maid.

[Wow…!]

[Why are you hiding and glaring? Let’s go greet them together!]

[They’re intruders!]

[They’re guests.]

Even though they were far, I could hear their conversation. It seemed like the maid was the problem again.

[Min Neong! Follow me! We need to assert dominance over the intruders!]

[Sigh…]

The maid, with a determined expression, walked over and stopped in front of us. Then, she hid behind Min Neong, poking her head out and shouting.

[I, I am the master of this house! Bow your heads!]

[…Don’t hide behind me.]

[Reubang?]

[Popo?]

[It’s a fierce teddy bear.]

The Yokai’s gazes focused on the maid.

What the hell is that idiot doing?

Their eyes seemed to share the same thought.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — That bastard’s acting up again.

[Handsome Licker] — Lol, the maid is cute. *Lick*.

[Min Ji] — The weakest Yokai acting like that makes her look so pathetic.

[Reverse Rape Mania] — Empty vessels make the most noise!

I sighed and approached the maid, who was on high alert. I grabbed her head and lifted her up.

“Are you going to keep asserting dominance over the guests? And it’s not your house, it’s mine, you crazy bitch.”

[Wow…!]

“Relax your face.”

[Wow…]

I forced the maid to sit in front of the Yokai.

Then, I introduced her to the other Yokai so they could get along. She’s such a handful.

*

*

*

Fortunately, there was no trouble.

When I introduced the maid, the quick-witted Yokai immediately understood her personality.

[Worship me! Wow!]

Even though she was acting like an idiot, the Yokai played along and got along with her.

[Popo!]

[Posun!]

[Wow… Sigh…]

[Great Queen Level Yokai Maid! Reubang!]

The maid strutted around the living room, followed by the other Yokai.

They were all good Yokai, without exception.

[Wow! Who are we?]

[Wow Family! Reubang!]

[Handsome Licker] — Wow Family, lol. *Lick*.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi] — The weakest bastard is ruling over everyone.

[Balloon Gum Collector] — Wow! The maid has made it big!

[Min Ji] — They’ve become close so quickly. It’s nice to see Yokai getting along.

As you can see, the weakest maid accidentally became the leader of the Yokai.

It was amusing, but it was also heartwarming, like adults playing with a child.

“Min Neong. Play with the maid for a bit, and then come with me to the mart.”

[Okay!]

While the maid was distracted, I sneaked Min Neong out of the house. Since we had guests, I needed to go to the mart to buy groceries.

Of course, the transportation was Min Neong. The roads were too snowy to drive.

After coming out to the yard, I climbed onto Min Neong’s head, who had returned to her original form.

[Where are we going?]

“Just go somewhere without snow.”

The nearby marts were probably all closed. So, I decided to go to a snow-free area to buy groceries.

[…]

“What are you doing? Aren’t we leaving?”

[You haven’t given the departure signal yet.]

“Oh…”

I had forgotten. To make Min Neong start, I needed to hit her head.

With a blank expression, I hit Min Neong’s head twice.

*Thud! Thud!*

[Wow!]

Finally, Min Neong flew into the sky. She’s becoming more and more like a crazy bitch.

[We’re leaving! Heading north!]

“Not north, go south.”

[Got it! Hold on tight! We’re going fast!]

And 10 minutes later, we arrived in Busan.
