Chapter 156

I observed the surroundings.

Posun, Popo, and Reubangyi were looking at me in amazement.

[Wow! Oppa is amazing!]

[Popo!]

[Reu-reu-reubang!]

The viewers had the same reaction as the yokai.

[Min Ji]—As expected, Gye Se-hoon! I’m speechless!

[Maehwa Tree]—No matter how many times I see it, it’s still shocking. Truly a one-punch exorcist.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—Watching this, it seems like Se-hoon can defeat any creature that can take physical damage. Lol.

[Drifting AI]—I declare. It seems he can now even damage entities without physical forms.

[Semen Thief]—This man is insanely strong. Amazing!

[Meng Yao]—This isn’t a matter of gender.

[Handsome Licker]—LOL, it’s more accurate to say humans are insanely strong. *Lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Semen Thief, it’s not “amazing,” it’s “incredible.”

[Semen Thief]—I know that…

[Handsome Licker]—LOL, why are you nitpicking “amazing”? They typed it wrong on purpose. Mania, you’re hilarious. *Lick lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Then you should also accept “대도체” instead of “도대체.” Why is it okay for Semen Thief to be wrong but not me?

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—You’re just genuinely clueless about words, you idiot.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow! Big Girl, who always boasted about wanting to fight Se-hoon, has finally quieted down!

[Maid]—Wow! She must have realized the gap in strength!

[Big Girl]—I only fight humans.

[Qkrnfl892]—By the way, is it even possible to move in mid-air?

[Jujijoa]—It’s possible.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—It’s impossible. Damn.

[Yoho]—Something about Reubangyi’s gaze seems different. She’s looking at the Room Master in a strange way. Could it be love?

[Min Ji]—No way. How dare a yokai!

[Handsome Licker]—Now that I think about it, Yumbugi and Reubangyi might actually be a good match. One’s a vagina, the other’s a penis. Maybe they’re distant relatives? *Lick*.

[Jujijoa]—If you say that in front of Reubangyi, you’ll get beaten up.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Yoho, you idiot.

[Yoho]—Yes, Gyeongsaeng Idiot.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—It’s been bothering me, why do you three idiots call her “Reubangyi-nim” instead of “Reubang-nim”? Are you all empty-headed?

[Yoho]—It’s none of your business.

After taking my eyes off the chat window, I turned my gaze back to the fox.

“What? What’s going on…? Kyuu…?”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Stop with the “kyuu kyuu.” I’ll kill you.

The fox was still alternating its gaze between Yumbugi’s corpse and me.

What on earth happened? It looked completely bewildered, as if its brain couldn’t process the situation.

[Handsome Licker]—Is the fox broken? It’s frozen in place. *Lick*.

[Min Ji]—It must be really shocked.

[Yoho]—It’s understandable. It’s probably never seen a human as strong as the Room Master before. Maybe it’s the first time in its life.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Damn fox idiot. Its expression looks so stupid. LOL.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—LOL, it looks like it needs a slap on the back of its head.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—The fox is cute.

‘…If I approach now, it’ll probably get scared and run away.’

I decided to wait until the fox calmed down and processed what had happened.

***

Time passed, and the fox finally regained its composure. It seemed to have accepted the fact that I had defeated Yumbugi in one strike.

“A man… no, a human defeated Yumbugi… I still can’t believe it…”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Believe it, you idiot.

“Are you sure you’re not some other species?”

The fox asked with a suspicious look.

I shook my head and replied.

“I’m definitely human. I look human, don’t I?”

“Kyuu…”

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Does Gyesekkihoon still think he’s human? Crazy bastard.

[Qkrnfl892]—LOL, let’s admit it. You’re not human. Damn.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—?? He looks human, doesn’t he? He looks like a god. What are you talking about? LOL.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—He doesn’t just look like a god; he is a god. The Dark God.

[Handsome Licker]—The Dark God, LOL. *Lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—And since Guburi was saved by Se-hoon, she’s the Goddess of Vaginas.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Damn it.

“Anyway, I used the tail you lent me well. I’ll return it now.”

I took a step closer to the fox. I needed to return the fox tail I had borrowed.

[Jujijoa]—Wait, you didn’t steal it, you borrowed it?

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—You took it without permission, so it’s not really borrowing. LOL.

[Maehwa Tree]—But did you really need to use that tail? You’re already covered in blood.

[Semen Thief]—Right. Only your fists are clean.

[Meng Yao]—It seems like he’s satisfied just not touching Yumbugi directly.

As I approached, the fox flinched and took a step back.

“…Why are you stepping back?”

“Ah, no… I just got scared without realizing…”

“I have no intention of harming you, so there’s no need to be scared.”

“I know that, but I can’t help but feel instinctively intimidated. Kyuu…”

After saying that, the fox stared at the tail I handed over.

Its expression didn’t look good. Was it because of Yumbugi’s blood on it? It seemed reluctant to take it back.

“Kyuuu. You can just throw that tail away.”

“Ah. Is it because it’s dirty? I’m sorry, I’ll clean it and return it later.”

“No, it’s fine. I was planning to throw one of my tails away anyway. I couldn’t decide which one to discard, so I’ve been carrying all of them around.”

The fox awkwardly laughed, adding that it was a good opportunity to finally discard one.

[Min Ji]—It feels like she’s forcing herself to say it’s fine.

[Handsome Licker]—LOL, she’s probably too scared to say anything. *Lick*.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Poor fox.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Not poor, damn it. She should be grateful Gyesekkihoon used her tail. If it were me, I’d have used her body as a fist protector instead. LOL.

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow, Guburi is cruel.

[Maid]—Wow! Guburi chats like that but probably mutters “poor fox” to herself!

[Handsome Licker]—LOL, Guburi’s soft inside. *Lick*.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Maid, you crazy b*tch. Don’t make up lies.

I decided to keep the fox tail instead of throwing it away. I planned to clean it thoroughly when I returned to my original world and give it back to the fox when I visited the Drifting Restaurant again. It seemed like she didn’t want it back now because it was dirty.

Anyway, with Yumbugi unexpectedly dealt with, I decided to ask the fox to help find a place where the yokai could settle.

***

[Semen Thief]—Guburi unnie.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Call me Guburi-nim.

[Semen Thief]—Guburi-nim.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Yes.

[Semen Thief]—I suddenly got curious. Would you really lose if you fought the Maid?

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Who said that, damn it.

[Semen Thief]—The Maid said in chat earlier that she subdued you.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Do you believe that? The Maid is so weak I’d win. She’s not even at the level of being called a yokai. LOL.

[Maid]—Wow?!

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—And don’t use informal speech with me, you damn Semen Thief.

[Semen Thief]—Understood.

[Handsome Licker]—Guburi, didn’t you get stepped on by the Maid last time? LOL. *Lick*.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—If I had enough time to use magic, I would’ve won.

[Jujijoa]—Why don’t you fight again now?

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—LOL, revenge match?

[Min Ji]—Amateur magic vs amateur yokai arts!

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—I don’t fight friends.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Yokai arts?? Isn’t it shamanism?

[Maehwa Tree]—What yokai use is yokai arts.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—Is it different from shamanism?

[Maehwa Tree]—Similar but different. Simply put, the power humans can use is shamanism, and the power yokai can use is yokai arts.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Shamanism or yokai arts, both are just budget magic.

[Yoho]—You have a lot of pride in magic.

[Maehwa Tree]—By the way, I can use both shamanism and yokai arts.

[Reverse Rape Mania]—I didn’t ask about that.

[Maehwa Tree]—Okay.

While occasionally glancing at the chat, I walked alongside the yokai. Suddenly, the fox darted forward and shouted.

“Do you see that village over there? That’s the place I was talking about!”

As the fox said, a village came into view ahead. It was a fairly large village.

“Is that the village that accepts yokai from other regions without discrimination?”

“Yes. As long as they’re not yokai following Heukbaekgui. Any creature with color can live there without any procedures.”

This was something I’d heard earlier. The fox had introduced several places where yokai could settle, and this was the closest village where they could live without needing proof of identity.

‘A place where anyone can live…’

I had come here without much thought, but now that we’d arrived, I had one concern: security.

If the village accepted all yokai without question or identity checks, it would be a perfect place for dangerous individuals who were rejected elsewhere.

So, before entering the village, I decided to ask the fox about the village’s security. This was something I needed to clarify.

“Can you tell me about the village’s security? From what you’ve said, it sounds like a pretty dangerous place.”

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow, Se-hoon is asking even though it’s not where he’s going to live.

[Yoho]—He’s probably asking because he’s worried about Popo, Posun, and Reubangyi.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Don’t name them. Damn.

[Qkrnfl892]—If Se-hoon were going to live there, he wouldn’t have asked about security.

[Se-hoon Defense Team]—LOL, no matter how bad the security is, it would naturally improve once Se-hoon moves in.

“It’s not dangerous at all. That village is home to some of the strongest goblins in the world, so most yokai don’t dare cause trouble there. In fact, violent yokai don’t even set foot in that village because of the goblins.”

Hearing the fox’s answer, I felt a bit relieved. If the village was home to some of the strongest residents in the world, it made sense.

‘They must be confident they can subdue any troublemaker who comes to the village.’

There was a reason they accepted anyone as residents. If they didn’t have a plan, the village would have become a lawless place long ago.

As we moved toward the village entrance, I continued talking with the fox.

***

“Fox, are goblins considered a type of yokai?”

“Kyuu… In this era, it’s more accurate to consider goblins a separate species. Most goblins are a mix of humans and yokai. There’s only one pure goblin in that village.”

The fox led the way, continuing to explain.

Goblins aren’t dangerous. In fact, they’re quite gentle and kind. You won’t find a safer place than that village.

“Oh, and you must never confuse goblins with oni! Calling a goblin an oni is taboo!”

“What happens if you call them oni?”

“I heard you’ll get beaten to death with a club. That’s the rumor.”

“…Are goblins really that gentle? If they’ll kill you for calling them the wrong thing, they sound like they have anger management issues.”

“As long as you don’t break the taboo, they’re very kind. Kyuu.”

Would they really swing a club if you called them oni? I was curious.

Of course, I had no intention of breaking the taboo just to satisfy my curiosity.

I didn’t want to offend the residents and create a bad impression, especially since Reubangyi, Popo, and Posun might settle here.

As I was thinking this, we arrived at the village entrance.

[Qkrnfl892]—Are those the goblins?

[Balloon Gum Collector]—Wow! They’re holding giant dildos!

[Yoho]—Those aren’t dildos, they’re clubs.

At the entrance stood two large women standing guard. Judging by the clubs they were holding, they were probably the goblins.

[Gyeongsaeng Guburi]—Damn those dirty goblin b*tches. Their chests are huge and bouncy. Are they treasure chests?

[Handsome Licker]—*Lick*!

[Min Ji]—Ew… gross…

As we approached the goblins to enter the village…

[Reubang…]

Reubangyi suddenly darted forward. She stopped in front of the goblins and…

[Oni, nice to meet you, Reubang.]

She broke the taboo and greeted them.
