Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 165

Dansomi woke up early in the morning and was hungry.

Normally, I would have pestered Jang Sam-tae to fill my stomach, but since he was away, Dan So-mi and Namgung So-hye have been in charge of the kitchen.

However, Namgoong Sohye was absent recently, so Dan Somi was the only one there.

I hurriedly opened my eyes, stood up, and stretched greatly.

“Keueuung-!”

If I do this, won’t I grow taller?

Dan Somi, who was shorter than other children her age, wanted to be taller, so it was her daily routine to stretch out loud every morning.

Well, it doesn’t seem to be getting any bigger.

With slumped shoulders, I opened the door and went out.

The manor was strangely quiet today.

Normally, you would have seen Namgung-cheon or Sadohak who woke up early, but there was only an empty atmosphere in the manor, as if no one was there.

“huh’?”

I trudged,

taking small steps often and heading to a place where people were likely to be. The sound coming from afar seemed like someone was there.

As Dan So-mi cautiously approached the place, she saw the wide-eyed Ho Yeon-ji working hard at making alcohol.

Should I pretend to know?

However, if you talk to her while she is making alcohol, you will likely be caught and have to make alcohol again.

The first time I made alcohol, it was a lot of fun. I remember making it with joy as even Danwoohyeon praised it and said it was delicious.

But as time passed, I got tired of it.

Moreover, I had no desire to make alcohol right now.

So for now, it’s better to just quietly pretend not to notice.

Dan So-mi decided to ignore Ho Yeon-ji and turned her back.

“Umm, where have you been?”

I walked quickly and headed toward the kitchen.

It felt strange walking alone in the quiet manor.

There weren’t many people, but the once noisy place was quiet, so I felt a sense of strangeness.

The moment I puffed out my cheeks and headed to the kitchen, I noticed something strange under the wall.

Dansomi tilted her head and walked towards there.

“What is this?”

There was something in the dirt.

It’s red.

Dansomi turned her head and looked elsewhere.

Things that look like human hair are falling out.

Did an animal come in?

When I looked closely at the wall, I saw traces of cuts made with something like a knife.

Dansomi, who had been staring at it, suddenly stood up.

“huh!”

‘Let’s pretend we didn’t see it.’

Nothing would have happened here.

It was best to believe that.

This wasn’t the first time this happened, and before I knew it, sweet Somi had become sweet.

Sometimes, when I was left at Hong Won-chang’s house and returned a few days later, I saw strange things buried in the manor.

Since Jang Sam-tae made a fuss every time he cleaned it, Dan So-mi thought there was no need to worry about it.

Because I didn’t think it would be a good idea to dig deeper.

‘Our house is strange, so things like that happen often.’

I nodded with understanding.

Dansomi turned around again and entered the kitchen.

There was nothing left of the rice I ate yesterday.

What was left was just scorched rice, so I grabbed it and ate it to fill my stomach.

I didn’t feel the need to cook when there was no one around, and it was quite difficult for a child to start a fire in the first place.

“Did you go out to play without Somi?”

It may not be possible, but if that were really the case, I would be angry. I walked again with my cheeks full of gold.

The first thing I went to was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon’s room.

It was because I was wondering if I was oversleeping. Of course, that wouldn’t be possible.

” dad?”

I called at the door, but there was no answer.

When I carefully opened the door and looked inside, I saw an empty room.

A table and bed with nothing on them.

The only other thing that happened was that the toys Dansomi brought were scattered all over the room.

Dansomi sighed and entered the room.

“Clean it up!”

I started to clean up all the toys while nagging to no one listening. He didn’t seem to think about the fact that he had brought all of these things with him.

I picked up each toy and placed it neatly to one side.

Looking at the room that had been cleaned up in an instant, Dansomi thought deeply about something.

It certainly seemed to have become neater… but

the atmosphere was more dreary than when the toys were in disarray.

Dansomi, who was tilting her head, kicked the toys.

They flew around and were scattered around.

Now it looks a bit like a room where people live.

After confirming that, Dansomi nodded with satisfaction and left the room.

Once I confirmed that Dan Woo-hyeon was not in the room, there was nothing more to see. Also, seeing as it was so quiet, it seemed like not only Namgungcheon but even Sadohak were not left in the manor.

Dansomi, who was used to playing alone, was not discouraged by this.

I opened the large gate and left the manor.

I could see the scenery of Dongdong Lake in front of me, but I wasn’t particularly impressed anymore. It was very pretty at first, but no matter how pretty it was, if you kept looking at it, you would get tired of it.

Dansomi ran in a hurry

and came quite far from the manor.

I was planning on going for a simple walk, but it seems I took a wrong turn.

Dan So-mi frowned and turned around.

All you have to do is go back the way you came, so you won’t get lost. Moreover, since I have footprints, I just have to follow them.

With that thought in mind, I looked down…

but couldn’t see anything.

Before I knew it, there was a thick fog surrounding me. Dansomi had not noticed the fog at all until a moment ago, so she nodded and swallowed her moans.

“Well… it won’t be far.” I turned my gaze and looked around.

No matter how foggy it is, it’s close to the house. Since I lived there for about a year, I didn’t think it would be difficult to find a house as long as I checked the scenery properly.

But the surroundings felt unfamiliar, as if I was seeing them for the first time.

The terrain was also quite rough.

Even if you were familiar with this type of geography, it felt like you would break something if you lost your footing. The rocks were sharp like awls, and the trees were also crooked, giving it a strange feeling.

Even the air was different.

Would you say it’s lighter than usual? Or should I say it is clear?

I felt lighter just by breathing. My whole body was so full of energy that I felt like I would never get tired no matter what I did.

Dansomi looked around with anxious eyes.

” huh?”

At that time, what caught Dansomi’s eyes was a small creature.

It was the size of an adult’s palm and its pure white fur looked like white snow.

The golden eyes were so beautiful that you could get sucked in just by looking at them.

It looked like a kitten and was so cute that it shook Dansomi’s heart.

The cat caught her eye so much that the thought of having to go home disappeared from her mind.

“Come here, wow.”

I sat down on the spot, held out my hand, and called out. But the cat turned its head away as if laughing.

“Aren’t you coming? Then let’s go catch it! “If Somi goes to catch me, it’s going to be a big problem, right?”

Meow –

A small cry was heard.

It seemed like he was telling me to do something.

Dan So-mi, who could not understand the meaning at all, but was strangely proud, clenched her hands and burned her fighting spirit.

I became anxious because I had to catch that little guy before he ran away.

Even though I was already running in a rough place, I was prone to stumbling, and running also seemed dangerous due to the thorny trees and rocks.

But Dansomi did not give in. I ran forward with the determination to catch it.

Fortunately, the guy just watches quietly until Dansomi approaches.

The moment we quickly close the distance.

months!

With just one leap, the cat in front of me disappeared.

I searched with my eyes closed, but I still couldn’t see him.

” Yes-?”

I quietly looked around with a blank expression.

Still, there was no white cat to be seen.

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt a weight on my head. At the same time, I saw a pure white tail slightly lowering in front of my eyes.

“Eight!”

He screamed loudly and tried to catch the cat above his head with both hands. However, the hand waved in the air without fail, and the cat landed lightly and flew away.

The snow-white cat landed as lightly as a feather on a sharp rock.

“Mr. Lee!”

Dansomi, with her cheeks full of air, stamped her feet on the floor. It was right in front of me, but I was frustrated because I couldn’t catch it.

A small cry was heard again.

Meow.

The sound seemed like a provocation. Although she has a dansomi personality that doesn’t get angry most of the time, this time it seemed like that wasn’t the case and she quickly ran over to close the distance.

As soon as she reached the corner and was about to catch the cat with both hands, the cat jumped up, kicked Dansomi’s head, and landed again, widening the distance.

Meow-!

“hey!”

He waved his small hands and expressed his dissatisfaction.

I got angry when I thought I was being teased by the cat.

However, the cat stared at Dansomi without budging from that spot, and eventually turned its back, perhaps trying to go somewhere else.

“Where are you going?!”

Dan Somi shouted in surprise.

However, the cat only slightly turned its head, looked at Dansomi, purred softly, and jumped up.

Dan So-mi quickly stretched out her hand and tried to get closer, but the fog in front of her eyes suddenly cleared and the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.

“uh…?”

The fog disappeared and no strange trees or rocks were visible.

I could see the forest a little away from the manor and the sparkling water of Dongdong Lake.

Dan So-mi, who was standing blankly, rubbed her eyes.

Was what happened a moment ago a dream?

I pinched my cheek.

But it just hurt.

“Hi…”

He stroked his sore cheek and turned his back.

‘I’ll have to go back and ask my dad first.’

What happened today was a very strange and wonderful story for young Dansomi.
