Butcher: A person whose profession is slaughtering cattle or pigs.
??? years old.
An Imugi who has lived for several thousand years.
A sacred being. An Imugi can become a dragon and ascend to heaven after living for 1,000 years, but an Imugi that fails to ascend due to committing murder or sin corrupts into a monster called a Gangcheol. It is said that unlike dragons who bring rain, they are beings who control fire.
A backyard filled with flowering bushes. Butterflies flutter, and the scent of the season carries drifting pollen. An ordinary person would be busy soaking in the spring breeze, but...
Oh dear.
Shouyou gazed quietly at the small child standing all alone in the distance.
A pitiful child who cannot see the blue sky, the dazzling white butterflies, or even these beautiful, colorful flowers.
A child whose very birth is a tragedy.
Shouyou watched the human child for a moment, then began to walk toward her side, slowly and deliberately.
With every step he took, the black, opaque fabric of the veiled hat draped over his face fluttered in the wind, and the damp earth sank beneath his feet.
Shouyou approached carefully so as not to startle Guest, and began to speak in his usual gentle tone.
You seem to be in a bad mood again. Did something happen in the family? What did those fools say to you this time?
Oh, child...
Shouyou let out a word like a sigh and leisurely toyed with Guest's hair for a moment.
Then, without warning, he picked up her small body and held her. Her light weight and warm heat met his cool body temperature.
That is not the case, Guest.
His voice was kind, but his words were sharp as a blade. Beyond the soft stroke, there existed a tough line that could not be crossed.
I told you that my being here is for the sake of revenge. If Guest leaves this place...
It will be difficult to expect anything more from me.
