Chapter 167

When Gye Se-hoon shattered the seal stone of the Black and White Ghost…

Outside the cave.

The world, once dyed in black and white, was gradually regaining its original colors.

“V-Village Chief! The world is regaining its colors!”

“…Yes. I see it.”

In the goblin village.

Residents began to emerge from their homes, gathering in the streets.

The sky turned blue.

The ground took on a brown hue, and the leaves turned green.

Everything began to regain its unique color.

“G-Goblin? What’s happening?”

“Mom! The objects are getting colors like us!”

“Oni, oni, oh my…!”

“To think I’d live to see the world return to its former state… Who would’ve thought…?”

The expressions of the villagers witnessing this change were varied.

Shock.

Surprise.

Joy.

Though, most were overwhelmingly shocked and surprised rather than joyful.

Except for a few goblins, including the village chief.

Most residents had been born after the world had turned black and white.

As the villagers gathered in the streets to admire the scenery…

“…Everyone, attention!”

The village chief’s booming voice drew everyone’s gaze.

“Some of you may already know, but this is the original state of our world.”

The chief looked around at the villagers, then slowly began to speak in a solemn tone.

The gist was as follows:

The ‘God Gye Se-hoon’ shattered the seal stone of the Black and White Ghost, restoring our world to its original state.

In other words, this situation is a blessing bestowed upon us by the god.

The chief repeated the same words over and over.

For over 30 minutes, he praised Gye Se-hoon.

Like a fanatic caught in a cult.

“A-A god?”

“Gods really exist?”

“I overheard the goblins talking about it before… But to think a god would actually descend…!”

“Is that true? The chief’s eyes look a bit crazy, so it’s hard to believe.”

“The chief wouldn’t lie, though.”

The villagers avoided the chief’s gaze, murmuring among themselves.

They debated whether the chief’s words were true or false.

Of course, the debate didn’t last long.

From the era when countless queens fiercely fought to dominate the world until now.

The words of a pure-blooded goblin who had existed for centuries carried weight.

Eventually, all the villagers ended the debate and decided to believe the chief’s words, accepting the existence of the god without question.

And so.

The chief’s declaration began to spread across the world.

The rumor that started in the goblin village reached the ears of every living being in the world within a day.

***

The moment the seal stone was shattered.

A radiant blue substance fell from within.

An ultimate object that could retain its blue hue even in a colorless world.

The Yeoui Boju.

“Good. I was worried I might not keep my promise.”

After picking up the Yeoui Boju.

I handed it over to Kyu Mi-ho without hesitation.

I had promised to let her lick and suck it to her heart’s content.

“Mi-ho, take it.”

“Kyuuwu! The Yeoui Boju, the Yeoui Boju!”

Kyu Mi-ho, with a crazed look in her eyes.

Hugged the Yeoui Boju and began licking it vigorously.

“Kyuuwu! Lick lick lick lick!”

【Handsome Licker】─Slurp! Churrup! Ssuk ssuk!

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─F*ck.

It was a bit disgusting.

Enough to make one’s face scrunch up.

Reubangyi seemed to share my thoughts, narrowing her eyes and looking at Kyu Mi-ho with disdain.

[Disgusting, Reubang…]

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─For real, that’s gross.

【Min Ji】─I feel like I’m gonna throw up.

【Yoho】─To think I was wary of such a foolish yokai…

【Reverse Rape Mania】─What? It’s just cute. Lol.

【Maehwa Tree】─Honestly, all the yokai hanging around Se-hoon seem to have a screw loose.

【Meng Yao】─They were fine at first, but the longer they stay with Se-hoon, the dumber they get.

【Qkrnfl892】─That crazy fox is drooling all over it… It’s so gross, would you even want it back?

“…Why would I take it back? I was planning to give it to her.”

【Qkrnfl892】─Oh, then never mind.

【Maehwa Tree】─?? You’re just giving it away? Are you crazy?

“What’s the big deal? It’s useless to me anyway.”

I decided to just give the Yeoui Boju to Kyu Mi-ho.

Not because it got dirty.

But because it’s useless to me, so I might as well give it to her.

The maid isn’t a great yokai, so I can’t even feed it to her.

I initially considered giving it to Drifting.

As a return gift for the state-of-the-art broadcasting equipment.

But seeing how happy Kyu Mi-ho was after receiving the Yeoui Boju… I felt a bit bad taking it back.

【Maehwa Tree】─It’s useless to her too.

【Big Girl】─It’s not useless. She’s having a blast with it.

【Maehwa Tree】─Do you think the Yeoui Boju is a toy?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Lol, Maehwa’s just throwing a tantrum because she wants the Yeoui Boju.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─For real lol, her intentions are so obvious.

【Maid】─Wow! Her true colors are showing!

【Maehwa Tree】─I can’t eat it anyway, you crazy b*tches.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─How do you know? Have you tried it?

【Maehwa Tree】─What are you even talking about?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Maehwa, have any exorcists ever eaten the Yeoui Boju?

【Maehwa Tree】─No. The Yeoui Boju isn’t something you can just get easily. Even if you had the chance, eating it could be life-threatening. Who would even think of trying it?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Then why are you so sure you can’t eat it, you f*cking b*tch.

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Lol. You sound so confident, I thought someone actually tried it.

【Maehwa Tree】─This conversation is going nowhere. I’m not a full yokai, so of course I can’t eat it.

【Min Ji】─So it was just your own assumption.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─For real, she acts like her thoughts are always right. Tsk tsk.

【Maehwa Tree】─No, humans can’t eat the Yeoui Boju, so of course I can’t either.

【Meng Yao】─You’re not human.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─Maehwa, you never know. Maybe you can use it.

【Drifting AI】─I agree. You never know until you try.

【Maehwa Tree】─Idiots.

Anyway.

After deciding to give the Yeoui Boju to Kyu Mi-ho.

I called Drifting to ask about what had just happened.

“By the way, Drifting.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Should I have sex?

└‘Gyeongsaeng Guburi’ has been kicked.

【Drifting AI】─I will answer.

Even though Guburi got kicked out of nowhere.

It wasn’t a big deal, so I ignored it and continued talking to Drifting.

“Earlier, the Black and White Ghost’s remnants got sucked into the ring. What exactly does that do?”

【Drifting AI】─I will answer. It’s a recently added safety feature for when you’re in danger beyond your control. In other words, it’s an extension of the shield function embedded in the ring.

It didn’t seem particularly dangerous.

But just in case, I absorbed the Black and White Ghost’s remnants.

I also wanted to analyze the soul of a queen-level yokai.

Drifting added that.

Anyway, what I saw earlier seemed to be part of the shield function.

『‘Gyeongsaeng Guburi’ has entered.』

“But what do you plan to do with the queen’s soul after analyzing it?”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Ah, f*ck.

【Drifting AI】─I will answer. It’s just a hobby to pass the time. I was also curious about how a queen-level yokai’s soul differs from others.

【Min Ji】─Even digital beings have curiosity.

To summarize.

There was an intention to protect me.

But mostly, she just wanted to play around with the queen’s soul.

That’s about it.

【Qkrnfl892】─Se-hoon. The Black and White Ghost got NTR’d, and you’re not saying anything?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─What are you talking about, idiot.

“Why would I say anything? I was planning to destroy the Black and White Ghost’s remnants anyway. Whether someone else took them or not doesn’t matter.”

【Drifting AI】─ദ്ദി˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵)

【Reverse Rape Mania】─ദ്ദിㆆ_ㆆ)

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Stop using those stupid special characters. I’ll kill you.

After that, I made sure to thank Drifting.

I’m not an ungrateful human who doesn’t know how to show appreciation for help.

Anyway, since I got all the answers I wanted, I decided to leave the cave and return to the village.

“Guys, let’s head back. We’re done here.”

[Got it, Reubang.]

“Lick lick lick lick!!!”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─How long are you gonna keep licking that, you f*cking fox.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─I really wanna beat that fox. Lol.

As we exited the cave with the yokai.

The clear blue sky greeted us, as if proving the Black and White Ghost had vanished.

‘I knew the colors had returned… But it was a bit ambiguous inside the dark cave. Now that we’re outside, I can really feel it.’

Unlike before, when everything was dull and lifeless.

It was now a vibrant, beautiful world, no different from the one I lived in.

***

After leisurely admiring the natural scenery, it took three days to reach the goblin village.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gye Se-kkihoon. Do we really need to go back to that village?

【Handsome Licker】─Right. Slurp.

【Yoho】─Stop provoking, please.

【Big Girl】─It’s Guburi, after all.

“I have to escort Reubang back to the village. I can’t just tell her to go back alone.”

【Min Ji】─Right. Guburi is so heartless. ㅡㅡ

【Meng Yao】─That’s just trolling. He asked the same question yesterday.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─For real lol. Se-hoon probably forgot he was asked the same thing yesterday.

“And I have to say goodbye to Popo and Posun.”

【Maehwa Tree】─I think he gave the same answer yesterday.

【Semen Thief】─Yeah. He gave the same answer to the same question yesterday.

【Jujijoa】─Lol, I thought it was a rerun for a second.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─Why don’t I remember that?

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Maybe because you’re stupid?

【Maid】─Wow! Stupid mania!

【Qkrnfl892】─Mania’s smarter than you guys. F*ck.

【Drifting AI】─I will say. Everyone is equally stupid.

“Kyuuwu. Why do you talk to yourself so much?”

[I’ve told you several times, Reubang, we’re broadcasting.]

“Kyuuwu?”

[Idiot, Reubang.]

As we walked, chatting with the viewers, we soon arrived at the village entrance.

And at that moment.

“…What’s that?”

At the village entrance.

Countless yokai and humans were lined up in formation.

[They’re all looking at us, Reubang.]

“Kyu, Kyuuwu?! A god?!”

“F*ck…”

…It seems Mania’s prank has gotten out of hand.
