31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 262)

“Mia is….” 

Yushin sighed as if he was embarrassed.. 

“She is in no condition to meet anyone right now. Especially a person like you who has no face to face with..” 

Kang Seol was surprisingly easily convinced and nodded.. 

‘Well, Mia would be like that..’ 

Mia was very wary and rarely had contact with anyone else.. 

Because she was a woman who opened her heart to only one person.. 

It feels strange that he not only knew Yushin, but even visited him recently.. 

But that didn't mean I could give up.. 

“Can’t we just talk??” 

“If it could be harmful to Mia, I wouldn't recommend it..” 

“hmm….” 

When Yushin was taking care of the children, he seemed like a nice person, but now, on the contrary, he seemed very cold.. 

I couldn't say anything bad about him because of his changed attitude.. 

Unlike their glorious past, the Youngan tribe is a people whose numbers have become extremely small. It was natural to be cautious.. 

At that time, Seolhong stepped in front of Kang Seol, who was thinking for a moment about what to do.. 

“Yushin and Kang Seol are not bad people..” 

“How can you believe that? Mia is….” 

“trust me.” 

“…….” 

“If you can't trust him, you can trust me.” 

Seolhong looked at Yushin anxiously and said,. 

“Yes, can you please??” 

Yushin looked at Kang Seol and Seol Hong alternately.. 

ha… 

Soon, with a sigh, he answered:. 

“Tomorrow, I'll take Mia to the place where you guys parked the carriage today. They probably don't want to meet you... Seolhong If you are a trustworthy person, you might be able to have a good influence on Mia. Mia is now... I need help.” 

“Wait, carriage? I know where our carriage is?” 

“Yeah, I guess there was a bit of a commotion. I relayed that it was Seolhong's carriage, so there were no other problems..” 

If it wasn't for Seolhong's carriage, I might have ended up in a bad situation.. 

I had forgotten for a moment that this was Goblin Street. It looks like there were some Parakhos who tried to rob the carriage.. 

‘From next time, one person will have to stay in the carriage..’ 

I don't know if I'll have a chance to come again. 

Anyway, Seolhong and his group finally got what they promised and left Goblin Street. There was no interference at all, as if there were rumors that he was Yushin's guest.. 

It's good… 

When we arrived at the carriage, the driver complained.. 

“Seolhong, it was dangerous. Phew, the evil guys were shaking the carriage and threatening me, so I was wondering what to do.….” 

As expected, it was like that.. 

“I heard. Let's get out of here first..” 

“Oh my! I was waiting for you to say that!” 

It seemed like the coachman wanted to get away quickly from this dangerous, smelly street.. 

Seolhong asked. 

“But how are you going to meet someone named Mia? I hear her say she and I think she's a lady.” 

Seolhong sets out to help Kangseol without knowing for what purpose Kangseol is meeting a woman named Mia.. 

In some ways, it could be considered irresponsible, but on the other hand, it could also be seen that Seolhong trusted Kang Seol that much.. 

“Mia is something special. She needs to meet with her to check in..” 

“Is it important??” 

Kang Seol nodded.. 

“It's very important..” 

* * * 

The next day, the carriage returned to the same spot again.. 

The only difference from yesterday is that everyone is waiting for someone outside the carriage.. 

Soon, the people who were waiting appeared. 

A man and a woman wearing the hood of their robes deeply pressed down. They were both wearing eye patches.. 

Kang Seol couldn't take his eyes off the woman.. 

‘…missing child?’ 

The reason why Kang Seol was so surprised was because Mia’s appearance was very different from what Kang Seol remembered.. 

“Well, I heard someone was looking for me... I really didn't want to come….” 

Mia was stuttering and downcast.. 

- Hyemyeong! Look at that, it's pretty.?

- What do you want me to see? where? What is there??

- I mean star, star!

The Mia that Kang Seol knew was much more cheerful and bright than her current appearance.. 

“Also, I want to go back.” 

“Mia, since you're here, let's talk..” 

“no. clearly….” 

Mia lowered her head.. 

“I'm trying to get you to draw a picture.….” 

painting. 

At those words, Chi-woo and Seol-hong’s eyes filled with doubt. What is it about the picture that makes the woman tremble with fear?. 

Yushin looked at Kang Seol.. 

“Are you trying to get Mia to draw??” 

Kang Seol shook his head.. 

“no.” 

Yushin smiled at those words and said to Mia.. 

“Did you hear that, Mia? I said I didn't mean to make you draw.” 

“Me, really.?” 

Mia asked, looking up at the snowfall.. 

“That's right.” 

“then… Talking is okay.” 

Kang Seol convinced the group that he wanted to talk to Mia alone.. 

Seol-hong and Chi-woo, who believed in him, naturally accepted, but Yu-shin did not.. 

No, actually Mia didn't agree.. 

“Go, stay with me. Yushin.” 

“missing child?” 

“Alone... scared.” 

Yushin looked at Kang Seol and made a nuanced gesture asking what to do.. 

Kang Seol nodded and answered Yu Shin.. 

“it's okay.” 

It's good… 

When Kangseol got into the carriage, Yushin and Mia sat across from him. Since Mia wasn't doing well, Kang Seol and Yu Shin should lead the conversation.. 

“Let me ask you bluntly, how do you know Mia??” 

“Me, I don’t draw… I can't draw anymore….” 

Mia keeps muttering that she can't draw. He looked like a complete wreck.. 

Kang Seol chose the right words to answer.. 

“Looking for wilderness.” 

flinch… 

At that moment, Mia's clouded mind came back as if she had been struck by lightning.. 

“wilderness…?” 

“Yes, the wilderness.” 

“…missing child?” 

Yushin noticed that something had changed in Mia. Soon, the words I heard from her were shocking.. 

“Yushin, will you stay out??” 

“…It'll be okay?” 

“Yes, please stay out..” 

“uh… uh.” 

As if it was all an act, Mia said as Yushin exited the carriage.. 

“Finding the spirit of wilderness in myself means….” 

“I thought I could find out the whereabouts of the spirit of wilderness from you..” 

“why?” 

“Because I know.” 

“…….” 

“That you were the last one he passed through the wilderness..” 

“Why, why do you know? he is… I couldn't believe I met him?” 

“…yes.” 

- who is he? 

- And that way of speaking! 

- Let us know something about your calling.! 

- I want to get it transplanted into my brain. his information…. 

“where is he now?” 

“gone very far.” 

“……also. Did you achieve what you wanted??” 

“I don't know that much.” 

No, I got it.. 

But I couldn't say that much. 

“Hyemyeong… Did he tell you about the wilderness decree??” 

“I can't tell you that much..” 

“great… But it's too late.” 

- Who is Hyemyeong?? 

- I don't know, it's probably tied to Somyeong again. 

- Why does everyone start shaking when I just say their name lol? 

Rustle… 

Mia took something out of her arms.. 

A drop the size of an egg. 

“No way this….” 

“Yes, this is the wilderness that Hyemyeong left behind. But as you can see….” 

The wilderness spirit has lost its power.. 

The appearance that was once sparkling has now faded away, tinged with a murky energy.. 

“Why did this happen... I guess you get the idea..” 

“You know more than I expected..” 

Snowfall twisted her mouth bitterly.. 

‘When I used it once, I used up all my power..’ 

Hyemyeong used this wilderness spirit to perform an incredible miracle just once.. 

“After he left, the wilderness spirit lost its power. like… Like me now.” 

“…missing child? I lost my strength….” 

Mia had powers that were far superior to those of the other Young Eyes. No, she wondered if, among all the Youngan tribes, she had a stronger power than her.. 

‘But I lost that power?’ 

Mia was able to draw special pictures. 

“I can't draw anymore... . The image earlier was a little mixed, but it's true that he can't draw..” 

“Are you having trouble with your hands??” 

“no. Even if I draw, I can no longer draw special pictures like before. My strength is now at an end.” 

“…okay. Was it because someone might be looking for you that you pretended to be a junkie??” 

“I've been in trouble a few times... Fortunately, they fell into their own disaster and disappeared. Still, I can't help but act the same because of the memories from before. It's a habit... Should I do it?.” 

Kang Seol pondered the conversation for a moment and then sighed.. 

‘In the end, it doesn't come easy.’ 

Like everything else, no, everything I've been involved in lately has been going astray, as if it were a promise. It seemed like that this time too. 

“Phew… I guess it would be right to give up on the wilderness. Nice to meet you.” 

“Now, wait a minute….” 

“…….” 

“he is… What kind of life did Hyemyeong live? After she left me….” 

Snowfall was able to tell me this one thing with certainty.. 

“I just walked in silence.” 

“…That's like him.” 

“then….” 

“actually….” 

Mia revealed the hidden truth. 

“Actually, there is still one piece left..” 

“…yes?” 

“There is still one picture left of Hyemyeong and me..” 

“…oh my god.” 

Mia said this to Kang Seol:. 

“I'll give you the picture, but will you do me a favor??” 

* * * 

Two days have passed since Snowfall came into contact with Mia. On the day that Kang Seol contacted Mia, he had already explained his future plans to Seol Hong and Chiu.. 

“Is that really true??” 

“Yes, I think it's worth a risk..” 

“That statement is not wrong, but it is impossible for such a power to exist in the world... I can't believe it.” 

“therefore! Does this make sense??” 

“What would you do, Seolhong??” 

“…….” 

In the end, it was decided that the next trial would follow Kang Seol's opinion.. 

What’s unusual is that Chiwoo also decided to join the schedule.. 

The reason was nothing special. 

“I think it would be fun!” 

From Kang Seol and Seol Hong’s perspective, there was no reason to refuse. Things will be easier if you get Chiu’s help.. 

On the second day, they arrived at Mia's hideout. A shabby wooden house deep in the mountains. 

“Heungheung… It smells like paper.” 

“I know….” 

Kang Seol nodded in agreement to their words.. 

If you smell like paper, you've come to the right place.. 

smart… 

I profit… 

“You’re here… . I was waiting. Let's begin.” 

Mia quickly prepares something.. 

With the help of Kangseol and Chiwoo, most of the furniture in the house disappeared outside.. 

Only then did I see the scrolls piled up in the storage space.. 

“This is the picture I was talking about.” 

“…I'm sure.” 

A picture of Hye-myeong smiling, wearing a monk's robe, although her hair was not cut short, was revealed.. 

Chi-woo and Seol-hong’s expressions became strange.. 

“This picture… No, I feel like I've seen this person somewhere….” 

“famous… I feel like a very famous person….” 

Mia ignored them and said what she had to say.. 

“There are a few caveats. first of all….” 

Mia explained to Kangseol and the others step by step what would happen next.. 

Chi-woo’s mouth widens every time he hears the story.. 

“This is really what's going to happen?” 

“Now, get ready. Let's all join hands.” 

“Is Mia not going??” 

“I shouldn't be there. Because I am there too.” 

“…All right.” 

Kang Seol stood in the middle and held Chi Woo and Seol Hong’s hands tightly. If you let go of his hand, a catastrophe could have occurred.. 

“Well, let's begin..” 

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For… 

An unusual energy oozed from Mia.. 

No, precisely in the picture she held in her hand.. 

“So that we can face the world beyond paper, show us the true face of the world covered in color..” 

Para la la rock-! 

The scrolls around me were flying around.. 

I felt like the wind was blowing from somewhere. 

That moment. 

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst-! 

Light spread out from the scroll that Mia was holding and engulfed Snowfall and the others.. 

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-! 

Shock as if falling from quite a height. 

I heard a bird chirping from somewhere. 

“Okay… what? I failed?” 

“that… I don't think so.” 

Snowfall pointed to the scenery unfolding before my eyes.. 

The scenery of the plateau was unfolding, with the grass swaying, giving a feeling of openness.. 

“uh? here is….” 

At that time, Seolhong pointed somewhere.. 

“snowfall. Is there anything we need to find?….” 

Her finger was stretched out towards the man and woman visible in the distance.. 

“Is it them??” 

“…I guess that's right.” 

I was secretly looking forward to snowfall.. 

Because this moment was the moment when what was expected to come much later actually happened.. 

It might be a pretty early meeting. 

“…huh?” 

A man wearing a monk's robe and a girl drawing with an eye patch on her eyes. 

The two were wary of the approaching snowfall group.. 

In particular, the monks were completely hostile.. 

“What are you? Where did it come from??” 

“…….” 

“What are you! If you don't answer….” 

Snowfall forgot to say. 

In front of him was a very sturdy handsome young man, holding a long baton in a posture as if he would throw it away at any moment.. 

10 horses he fostered and coveted the best. 

one of them. 

Although it is currently in an unfinished state, Hyemyeong, an apostate monk who will one day be called Daedeok, is now standing in front of Kangseol.. 

“What do you mean?!” 

Is Kang Seol his master or his alter ego?. 

[Additional information about the hidden adventure ‘Wilder Spirit’ has been obtained..] 

[A sudden adventure, ‘Wilder Spirit’ occurs..] 

[This adventure is very dangerous.] 

…… 

Chiwoo, who was next to Kang Seol, opened his mouth.. 

“this… It makes sense?” 

The reason why Chiu was surprised was because of the girl hiding behind Hyemyeong.. 

A girl younger than Seolhong, who had not yet finished growing, was hiding behind Hyemyeong.. 

It was my first time seeing him, but I knew who he was right away.. 

“Hyemyeong… who is this?” 

she was lost. 

This was Mia when she was young.. 

The time when the young Mia and the unfinished Hyemyeong existed.. 

The group entered Mia's painting.. 

[A strange force comes into play, and an unexpected adventure 'that time' occurs..] 

[This adventure is very dangerous.]
