Episode 045
Surprisingly, the identity of the straw doll was.
“Mr. Seo Ji-han?”
– huh. it’s me.
“Why not? “How is this happening now?”
– I’m not sure about that either. I think I can possess this doll.
“Possession?”
– I guess it’s because this doll is spiritually special. I’m amazed too. I tried to see if I could possess other objects, but only this doll was possible.
Saying that, the straw doll lightly raised both hands.
It seemed like he wanted to shrug his shoulders.
At that point, I turned on the living room light.
Under the bright light, Seo Ji-han walks briskly, as if amazed.
Every time I walked, small straw-like things were falling nearby.
He must have been moving around a lot, so there are a lot of small pieces of straw scattered here and there on the floor.
For a moment, the surprising thing is that the house has become a mess.
This is the house, this is the stable.
“The floor is a mess. “I need to clean it up.”
– Is that all you have to say now?
“But the condition of the ground is a bit bad.”
At my words, the straw doll looked back at the path it had taken and became quiet.
– I’ll do it. I can do it. Now I have a body.
He spoke confidently, then bent down and started picking up the straws he had dropped.
However, with a blunt body without fingers, progress is not possible.
In the end, it was like picking up one and dropping two.
It was such a pitiful sight that it was hard to open our eyes and look at it, so I decided to help.
“Seo Ji-han, this will never end.”
– No, not even that. I said I was doing it.
“I’ll just help you.”
I found a suitable object around me and placed it in the straw doll’s arms.
He was waving his hands and scattering straw powder everywhere, but stopped at the object in his arms.
– A nuisance to you… What is this?
“A roll of tape.”
The straw doll hugged the handle of the roll tape with both arms and looked up at me.
Maybe it’s because of my mood, but I feel a little embarrassed.
“Roll it.”
– Uh uh….
The straw doll that was standing blankly obeyed my words and grabbed the handle with both arms and started rolling the roller on the floor.
good.
The straw powder sticks well and works well.
“Then I’ll sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and was so sleepy. Then, let’s talk tomorrow…”
As I headed back to bed, I heard Seo Ji-han muttering behind me.
– How did my situation end up like this…
It was a slightly sad sounding voice. I was so sleepy that
I couldn’t really sleep. I’m not sure if you heard it.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, the midday sunlight was pouring in through the curtains.
Unlike usual, it was a little noisy outside.
Was it noise between floors?
No, it was coming from the living room.
It seemed like the TV, but did I sleep with it on last night?
When I walked out into the living room with my drowsy body, the TV was on.
And Seo Ji-han, in a ghost state, was sitting on the sofa.
– Did you sleep well?
Seo Ji-han, who was watching TV, said hello lightly.
After giving him a cursory greeting, I came to my senses a little. I heard,
“It was a dream after all.”
– What?
“I had a dream that Seo Ji-han became a straw doll.”
– That wasn’t a dream.
Seo Ji-han lightly glanced under the table.
I saw a straw doll leaning against the leg of the table, holding the remote control in her arms.
The white stone randomly lying next to it was Seo Ji-han’s soul stone.
– Thanks to you, I turned on the TV. .
“The soul stone is here too?”
– If you are completely possessed by that doll, it seems like the soul stone is absorbed into it. When you come out, it returns to the soul stone form again.
I took the soul stone first.
I also placed the straw doll that was on the floor on the table.
“Then the action radius is a bit wide. “I guess I’ll lose.”
Seo Ji-han cannot be more than 3 meters
away from the soul stone. So, when I fall asleep, he is always unable to leave this house.
However, if the location of the soul stone can be moved in this way, the radius of action will be greatly increased.
However, Seo Ji-han is skeptical . It was a reaction.
– I have to expand it to see where I can go with that body. I can just walk around the house.
Of course, it would be a big deal if someone were to witness the straw doll walking around alone.
Then, if it gets involved in an accident somewhere and loses the soul stone. It’s a problem.
– Still, it’s comfortable because he has some physical strength.
Smiling happily, he reached out for the doll.
Seo Ji-han’s arms disappeared into the doll.
And the doll’s stubby hand pressed the channel change button.
The TV screen showed entertainment . It changed from movie to news.
“Hmm, can you still use the skill in that condition?”
– No. I can’t use skills. There is no status window or inventory. As an awakened person, my abilities are the same as when I was a ghost. That’s right. Now that I have a body, I did it just in case. He also looked a little disappointed, but his face soon changed as if he had shaken off
his
regrets
. It became brighter.
– But where is this?
Simply, he seemed to be a little happy just by being able to click on a TV channel. Was he really
that frustrated all this time?
I reflected a little.
That’s right,
it’s big with or without a body.
Even though it’s a trivial thing made of straw. Even if it’s a body.
“It’s amazing. I think that shaman was really brave. I guess I’ll go and buy a few more later just in case. I told you I’m not a fraudster.”
– Huh.
He cleared his throat as if he didn’t have anything to say and turned his attention to the TV.
By the way, even if the doll moved for a moment, a lot of straw fell out.
What should I do?
It was cute to see Seo Ji-han, who looked like a straw doll, cleaning with a roll of tape. It’s so inefficient.
I started shopping on my phone while he was watching TV.
First of all, a robot vacuum cleaner.
It’s a must-have item to clean up the straw that Seo Ji-han drops.
And what else is there?
Ah.
If you put it on clothes, the cloth will get dirty. Maybe a little less powder falls out because it’s clogged?
“Mr. Seo Ji-han, please pick this.”
Seo Ji-han looked at the cell phone window I held out and made a bewildered expression.
On the cell phone screen, there were doll clothes of a size that would fit a straw doll. –
What do you think of me?
“No, if you at least wear socks, the straw doll will be a little better.” “It’s not going to fall.”
It was an extremely valid argument, but he just shook his head.
– Buy anything.
“I should buy it as a princess dress.”
– Son Moa.
“I’m just kidding.”
Listening to Seo Ji-han’s sigh, I bought a few decent doll clothes. I
also bought a few pairs of doll socks to wear on the doll’s feet.
Actually, I don’t need this much, but I thought it was cute for no reason.
After shopping, I read the messages from my family that had accumulated over night.
Money . I thought they would spend time leisurely as a family, but it feels like Mom and Seung-ju are busier than before.
Seung-ju said she would start a business and was busy with support from the university’s startup center, while Mom was traveling abroad with friends.
Reporter It may have seemed like he was avoiding the country, but the happy expression on his face was real. He
must have really enjoyed his last overseas trip.
I’m happy to see him starting the second chapter of his golden life.
Anyway, I feel like I’m the only one lounging around.
Still, I’m busy . I don’t think about it.
In Guam, I was physically overworked by secretly going to the dungeon every night, and after returning home, I was mentally overworked by reporters.
So, I deserve a break.
Still, it wasn’t like I didn’t have anything to do.
Today, again, is a separate thing. I have some places to go.
As I got up from the sofa and got ready to go out, Seo Ji-han asked with a puzzled look.
– Where are we going?
“Come to the nearby community center and register your hunter information.”
– Ah. Doesn’t the guild take care of it for you? I don’t think I’ve ever gone in search of it.
“They say that only guilds that have permission to attack a dungeon will handle it in conjunction with the dungeon management office.”
– That’s right.
It’s a bit annoying, but I don’t have anything to do anyway, so it doesn’t matter. I
packed up my bag and left the house, but Seo Ji-han followed me.
“Do you want to go with me? I thought you’d say you’d stay home because you can change the TV channel.”
– What do you mean? How can I let you go alone? Of course I should go with you.
“It’s right in front anyway, so it’s okay to go alone.”
Even though I said that, I don’t hate it when Seo Ji-han offers to go with me.
In fact, I always went with him, so now I feel a little sad when I go somewhere alone. As I
left the house, the leisurely afternoon sunlight poured down.
Seoji caught the light . Han looked saintly, as if he was about to attain Buddhahood at any moment.
By the way, this may be a new thing to say, but he is really handsome.
– Why?
Seo Ji-han asked, as if the way I was staring at him was strange.
I shrugged my shoulders and answered indifferently.
“Because I thought he was handsome.” .”
I thought he was going to say something vulgar like, “Now you know that this body is handsome,” but Seo Ji-han remained silent. When I
looked closely, his face was a little red.
Wow, I want to make fun of him.
– Huh, that’s new.
He said this later, probably because he had calmed down a bit, but his face was still a little red. The redness had not yet disappeared.
“But you still look handsome even when your face is red.”
In the end, I calmly teased him, and he covered his face with his transparent arm.
Oh, now even his ears were red.
– Oh really. I didn’t know he had this kind of personality when I first saw him.
“I was just shy at the time.”
– Are you used to it now?
Instead of answering, I just shrugged my shoulders.
After spending time with Seo Ji-han, he was surprisingly easy to make fun of.
If someone had made fun of Seo Ji-han like this when he was alive, he wouldn’t have been able to find a bone.
How dare someone take first place in the rankings like this. They were teasing me.
Thanks to that, I had no immunity to teasing, so my reaction was very sharp.
I walked around for a while and suddenly saw the sign for the community center.
