[Uh-hum. I'm not this HYeong-or-rather, but someone simply passing b…. Damn it, hey, Disciple Sun. Get over here and fetch this elixir already.]
The blondie mountain deity spirit promptly gave up on her acting and called out to me.
Such a thing happened often back in the Journey to the West.
[A portion of judges are complaining that such events didn't need to be imitated.]
[One additional point has been awarded.]
A spirit would suddenly pop out of nowhere and help out the group, saying that it was the will of the Buddhnim or something similar. Such blatant acts of ignoring probability and deus ex machina ran rampant in the original Journey to the West; so much so that I had to wonder whether it was the very first 'lump all lucky coincidences to one person' type novel or not.
I courteously bowed a little and spoke. “Thank you for helping us out always.”
[….Only doing it because I've been told to.] Perhaps reminded of someone right now, Jang HYeong looked up at the sky with a resentful expression and muttered to no one in particular. [Count yourself lucky…. If I hadn't been late, the role of the 'Demon King of Salvation' would've been mine….]
That came out so naturally, didn't it. It seemed that this role was supposed to be Jang HYeong's.
“….Why did you want to perform this role?”
She looked at me with distant eyes before shaking her head with a smirk.
[Well, yeah, you wouldn't know anything about how awesome the 'Demon King of Salvation' actually is.]
I thought about it for a little while, before speaking up with a voice overflowing with affection towards, uh, myself. “I also like the 'Demon King of Salvation' very much.”
[Oh, really? Have you heard some kind of Fables about him, then?]
“For instance, the 'Liberator of the Industrial Complex' he earned in the Demon World.”
[Oh-oht?]
That must've flipped a switch in her somewhere, because Jang HYeong suddenly started telling me a long-winded tale of her adventure. If I were to simplify the contents somewhat, it went something like this.
[So like back then, I managed to rescue the dying 'Demon King of Salvation', you see? So when you get right down to it, I actually saved the 'Demon King of Salvation'. So? It was fun, right? It wasn't….? In any case, we came to a mutual understanding right below the Root of Darkness and made a pledge of brotherhood. We worked together to liberate the 'Industrial Complex' from the grips of a dastardly Demon Duke, and…!]
….The story was more or less accurate, but I couldn't be sure why it felt like I was stuck listening to a novel being read here.
[And then, the 'Demon King of Salvation' looked at me with gloom-filled eyes and said, “My dear friend, become my warrior that will fight for my sake.”]
I began wondering if it was alright to let a baseless story such as this one to float around, but messages suddenly floated up in the air en masse before I could do anything about it.
[Judge, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is criticising the deity spirit's nonsense!]
[Judge, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is arguing that it was him who performed the most heroics back in the Demon World!]
[Judge, 'Meihouwang', is ridiculing the 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband'.]
[Many audience members are getting interested in the Nebula
As things stood, I couldn't really tell apart whether we were in the [Journey to the West] or [Kim Dok-Ja Company's Disorganised Great Adventure Get-Together].
Maybe, that was what Han Su-Yeong was aiming for.
As the
[Fables of the
Well, we'd have to wait and see if that was ultimately a good decision or not.
How long passed by like this? Yi Ji-Hye yawned out of pure boredom and spoke up. “Argh, just finish up and hand over the elixir, will you?”
[….Here.]
Another week went by.
We defeated countless Yogoes and also faced off against the Constellations from
[Those Yogoes that you subjugated earlier were creatures that I raised in my backya…..]
“Scram.”
Yu Jung-Hyeok kicked them away instead of me. Seemingly wanting to avoid fighting the 'Conquering King' Zhu Bajie,
