Episode 29
“It’s been such a long time!”
Pergis, who folded his long body that filled the large living room as much as possible, shouted happily.
On the living room table, several side dishes from the table, local African alcohol, and fruit that Pergis had brought were laid out nicely.
“I know.”
When I answered, Pergis took a few sips from the plate of alcohol in front of me.
It’s definitely been a while.
After I started dungeon management in earnest, I stayed here almost exclusively, and even when I occasionally visited the dungeon, I couldn’t meet Pergis.
This is because Pergis was having a busy day of his own.
These days, he was spending his time in the Serengeti grassland taking care of the animals there. With several nearby Beast King type warriors following him.
His mission was to escape from the dungeon, enjoy the wide plains, and suppress poachers and occasional violent incidents.
To be honest, I thought he would want to be a drama actor or an amusement park manager like Bish, but I was quite surprised when he volunteered for this job.
“Did anything happen?”
“It’s always the same. “Is everything okay there?”
Pergis suddenly sighed at my words.
That attitude made me a little nervous.
what? There was no separate report on that matter.
Have new warlords or pirates appeared? No, even if that were the case, it wouldn’t be a difficult task for Pergis, a king-level monster, to handle.
I don’t know if the opponent is a warlord made up of awakened people…
but…?
“Oh, don’t look so scared. It’s peaceful here these days. “Well, it’s so peaceful that I’m going to ride it.”
Pergis shook his large head and made a slightly melancholic expression.
“You know that I am very popular, right?”
I nodded hesitantly, wondering what on earth he wanted to say.
Pergis, who had an unusual appearance and powerful strength, was an object of envy in the Serengeti grasslands.
Regardless of whether they were herbivores or carnivores, when Pergis appeared, they either submitted to him or took a friendly attitude.
Thanks to this, he became the leader of all Serengeti animals and was doing well.
You could say this is popular.
“It was good at first. But I didn’t know. I never thought being popular would be this hard…”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
Seo Ji-han was sitting sullenly, as if he wasn’t interested, and was laying out fruit in front of me.
But I was quite worried about Pergis, who was in agony.
Although he lost his horn, he was once sitting on the throne of a king.
How could a guy like that suffer like this? If he makes a noise, it must be something unusual.
Under my concerned gaze, Pergis slowly confessed his worries.
In conclusion, my worries were useless.
The animals that follow Pergis the most in the Serengeti are Thomson’s gazelle and impala zebra. They are the same herbivores.
Probably because Pergis is a herbivore like them.
The carnivores were closer to obeying him than following Pergis.
When he first settled in the Serengeti, the first thing he became friendly with was a herd of impala.
And Soon, all the female impalas in the group began to look to Pergis as a mate.
Although he was a deer, Pergis was the king of a race with intelligence and culture, so he was as distant from the common animals of the Serengeti as chimpanzees and humans. .
However, as if he knew all that, the courtship of the female impalas was strong.
As if to avoid the courtship, Pergis went to the territory of other herbivores and took over the area, but the same thing happened again.
This time, it was a group of female Thompson’s gazelles.
Then, zebras . A fierce battle between the female herbivores,
including a group of female buffalo, was about to break out over Pergis.
However, for some reason, all of the females in each group suddenly withdrew.
Or, more accurately, they withdrew, leaving only one representative of each species.
“Whoa, I really am a sinful deer…”
Seo Ji-han opened his mouth coldly towards Pergis, who was shaking his head.
“get out.”
“Now wait a minute! It’s really difficult. When I tell the guys I went with, they just think it’s bragging, so I don’t know…”
“Get out.”
“How can you be so heartless!”
“Then just accept it.”
“That can’t be possible! She’s only two years old! Of course, she’s a very cool and pretty gazelle, but how much of a size difference do you think she is compared to me? And she doesn’t even make sense. It’s impossible to use items. Of course, love doesn’t need language, but… ..”
“get out.”
Fergis whined and tried to stay until the end, but Seo Ji-han grabbed him by the leather of his neck and dragged him out the door.
Fergis looked at me with pleading eyes, but I quietly ignored him.
“Well, I guess I already made a mistake when I called that gazelle ‘her’.”
I heard Pergis shouting from outside the door, ‘I’ll be back again!’
After listening to that, I quietly expressed my thoughts, and Seo Ji-han touched his forehead with a troubled expression.
“Haa…”
Seo Ji-han had a very bored expression on his face.
In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for someone to suddenly come to me like this.
Just recently, Elfanis, who had been the victim of a real estate scam, came to me out of contemplation. .
Since I rarely go to the house by the lake, they come here often.
And Seo Ji-han is busy chasing them away every time.
“Aren’t you getting married soon, Pergis?”
I’m glad it wasn’t real estate fraud like it was with Elfanis. I
said it jokingly, and Seo Ji-han sighed again and shook his head slightly.
“What does that guy know about marriage? We’re still together.”
Seo Ji-han blurted out without thinking, flinched, and then secretly looked at me.
“No, I didn’t really urge you…”
“No. “It’s time to make a decision.”
I took out some books from the drawer under the table.
The index tapes I had attached were sticking out of the three travel brochures.
Seo Ji-han tried to hide his happy expression and quickly came over and sat down next to me.
“Hmm, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I can choose a wedding hall, so I’m choosing among travel destinations…”
“Considering the size of the guys coming, the hall is a bit weird.”
“Yes?”
The conclusion is that it is an outdoor wedding, but the problem is that no matter where you choose, it all looks good.
A wedding in a desert with beautiful starlight would be good, and a wedding on an island with a beautiful sea would also be good. It might have been
easier to decide if there were fewer options. But the fact that I could do whatever I wanted was actually making my worries deeper.
“Hmm.”
A night wedding with Seo Ji-han on a wedding road in a desert filled with brilliant stars.
Mmmmm good good.
A wedding road walking with Seo Ji-han with the jewel-like sea in the background.
Even the sea breeze will definitely feel refreshing.
To be honest, I thought it would be nice to do it somewhere in a mountain valley, but since I was making my choice with this in mind, the decision couldn’t have been easy.
“Everything looks good….”
“Then you can do everything, right?”
“yes?”
“It’s all good, so if you’re worried, just do it. There’s no law saying you can only do it once.”
After saying that, Seo Ji-han wrapped his long arms around me and hugged me wide.
Then, a soft voice fell from above.
“Let’s do a lot. Do everything you want to do. I’m okay with anything.”
Hearing his words put my mind at ease.
So why did you think you only had to do it once?
If you’re going to do it multiple times, the decision is much easier.
You just have to decide on the order.
If you ask me where I want to get married first, there’s only one place.
” “I have to go see Elfanis early tomorrow morning.”
Even without further explanation, Seo Ji-han seemed to understand everything.
“Okay then. Since you’re probably tired, shall we take a shower and sleep well?”
“Are you okay, Seo Ji-han? We’re doing it in Elfanis’ dungeon.”
“I like anywhere.”
His happy smile was full of sincerity.
Then, somehow, he seemed to be in a very good mood and excitedly headed to the kitchen.
After eating, he went to clean up dinner. When
he came out of the bathroom after washing up, Seo Ji-han turned on the yellow auxiliary light in the bedroom and cleaned it up neatly. I was lying down.
I turned off the auxiliary light and naturally crawled in with one arm outstretched, and he quickly covered me with a blanket and hugged me tightly.
“Haa… I’m happy.”
The voice falling from above my head seemed to fill my heart with warmth.
This warmth was probably not just because of the blanket I was currently covering.
Being wrapped in his scent and arms made me feel happy all the way to my toes.
“Hehe.”
Seo Ji-han reacted quickly to the laughter that came out inadvertently.
“Why? Did you think of something funny?”
“No, it’s not that big of a deal… I think we’re almost like a couple at this point. I also think having a wedding is something new.”
I was so happy at this moment that it was a little embarrassing to say that I suddenly burst into laughter, so I tried to surround myself with appropriate words, and the strength holding me became stronger. After a while, a deep sigh and a barely audible voice passed by my ear. I loved it so
much
.
I agree with you.
“But you sure look very pretty in your dress.”
A quiet voice is heard in the dark. These trivial conversations before going to sleep still make me tickle. Feeling shy for no reason,
I snuggle into his arms and start pretending to sleep.
“Should I gather? Sleep?”
“….”
“good night.”
I felt something lightly touching my head.
There was no way Seo Ji-han, who senses presence very well, could not have sensed that I was pretending to be asleep, so perhaps he decided to pretend not to notice, so he didn’t say anything.
I kept pretending to sleep, but at some point I really fell asleep.
