Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 271
#3
The gatekeeper guarding the front recognized Kangrim’s chasa and opened the door. Soon, a grand palace with red lanterns hanging here and there was revealed.
Thanks to the manager who laid out jewels all over the floor, it was so large that it would have been eye-rolling if it weren’t for the fact that it was so fancy.
“…It’s gorgeous.”
As I gave my short review, Hoyoung Jeong whispered next to me.
〖“You can call it extravagant. “I was like that at first, too.”〗 When
Deputy Kang-rim looked at her gently, she made a fool of herself as if it had never been that way. It was clearly visible what kind of relationship the two grim reapers had.
〖“I have brought you Seo-ra Yoon, the district system manager.”〗
When Prince Kangrim shouted in front of the palace, a window door that was likely to be 3 meters wide opened spontaneously as if it had been waiting. Boom boom boom! Several doors inside also opened one after another, welcoming visitors.
It was only after passing through the long hallway and passing the last door that I was able to face King Yeomra in a space with a red ring.
〖“It’s an underworld that has been visited by as many as two system administrators. I think this is probably the first place like that.”〗
King Yeomra was sitting on the throne at the top of the stairs. A juryeom made of woven red beads was blocking them, so I couldn’t see their faces, but I could feel the intimidation of a king ruling over a huge underworld.
But is there something strange?
The moment Seo-ra noticed something strange and tilted her head.
〖“Collect the juryeom.”〗
The juryeom was collected along with Yeomra’s command. And it was only then that I realized that I had to stand fully exposed.
King Yeomra, wearing the crown, was none other than a young boy who looked to be about twelve years old.
However, contrary to his youthful appearance, his black eyes showed age and his tightly closed lips revealed stubbornness.
Although he only looks young, he is clearly a king who has ruled the vast world of the underworld for thousands of years.
〖“Sit down.”〗
Someone brought a fancy and heavy chair. Seo-ra did not refuse, but sat down and assumed a comfortable posture.
“nice to see you. “This is Seo-ra Yoon.”
〖“I would never have guessed that the first person to use the stigmata that Jim gave to Kang-rim was the system administrator. “I don’t know if this is an honor or a misfortune.”〗
“Is there any reason to be unhappy?”
〖“Because you are the system administrator. Even though you are weaker than the sublease manager, you do not have the limitations of a designer. In fact, you are a scarier figure than the squadron manager.”〗
“You know there are no restrictions.”
〖“I am also a saint, so I have heard a lot from the gods of other planets. Let me tell you one thing. I don’t want to fight with you. “I hope you can leave the underworld in peace and return to this world again.”〗
“Fortunately, you feel the same way as me. We will return as soon as the matter is resolved as you wish. “My only business is to bring the squadron manager’s soul back to this world.”
Seo-ra stretched out her hand toward Yeom-ra as if making a request.
“I demand that the covenant of stigmata be fulfilled.”
I only spat out the words, but my mouth was already dry.
I haven’t seen him for so long.
I wanted to touch and hug him again, not because he was cold and hard, but because he was alive and breathing.
Yeom-ra, who was quietly looking at Seo-ra’s face, answered with a sigh after a while.
〖“Thanks to the guidance of the stigmata, his soul did not flow elsewhere and came here to the underworld. He was such a special person that Jim personally took his soul away. So I was able to look into the soul in detail.”〗
For some reason, the beginning wasn’t very good. Seo-ra frowned.
〖“Even though he did not commit anything on Earth, his soul is still stained with sin. So much so that I cannot allow a peaceful death. So he is being punished. These are the rules of the underworld. He cannot be at peace until he pays for all his sins.”〗
The Administrator crossed numerous dimensions to return to Earth, killing many lives in the process.
He had too much blood on his hands to defend that he only slaughtered the enemies who tried to kill him.
That sin clearly cannot be forgiven even in death. No matter how much Seo-ra loves the manager, she has no intention of denying it.
The price for sin must be paid.
but.
“Do I really have to pay for that sin right now?”
〖“What?”〗
“Even if he returns to this world, his life will end someday and he will soon face complete death. Then, isn’t it okay for me to pay for my sins then?”
Seora tapped the dragon-carved armrest with her fingers.
“I have the right to negotiate with you, and you have the obligation to follow the rules of the underworld. “It seems like there’s only one way to achieve what we both want.”
Yeomra’s face distorted. Kang-rim also frowned, as if he hadn’t expected this situation.
Only Jeong Ho-young was looking at Seo-ra with a coy smile.
“In return, I promise you one thing. “When he returns to this world, I will always be there to watch over him to make sure he never commits a crime again.”
Seo-ra promised confidently.
Then, when I return, I plan to lock him up in my own home and be happy, so he won’t have a chance to commit a crime.
Above all, I wanted to give complete peace to him, who had been on the battlefield all his life. I had no intention of walking down that bloody path again.
“So fulfill your contract. I wish only for his soul.”
Seora’s red eyes shone gloomily. It’s as if he’s willing to use his skills if he doesn’t cooperate.
From the beginning, I had no intention of compromising with Yeomra. If that was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have come this far.
From the moment I pierced the manager’s heart with my own hands, my spirit was consumed. There was no patience left at all.
〖“Have you ever thought that death is his rest?”〗
“Rest?”
〖“He lived a long life that would be difficult for an ordinary human body to endure, and he finally achieved the death he had longed for. Although he is being punished now, he will regain his freedom after receiving all the punishment. I will live my life in this peaceful underworld where there are no enemies or pain. Are you planning to disturb that rest?”〗
The peaceful underworld.
Seo-ra experienced a little bit of that comfort while coming here. It was such a peaceful place that I thought that if this were the afterlife, dying wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
It would be a pretty good haven for someone who fought desperately for hundreds of years and lived alone in that lonely place for 50 years.
However, Seo-ra never thought for a moment that this place was suitable for him.
“I will give him some rest. The only place he can rest is next to me, not in the world of the dead whom no one knows. “There is no way he can rest comfortably here without me.”
After finishing speaking, Seo-ra slowly stood up from her seat. The armrest engraved with a dragon shattered under the force of her grip.
She stood, trampling on the falling debris, and faced Yeomra directly.
“He still has a chance. A chance to rebuild the happy life he lost by my side. “I will definitely take him back and give him that happy life.”
Seora’s red magic began to overflow. Magical power scattered like fog filled Yeomna Palace in an instant.
Regardless of whether Kang-rim shouted at him to stop or not, Seo-ra only looked at Yeom-ra.
“So bring him. “If you want this afterlife to stay the same, do it right in front of me.”
The palace of the underworld, unable to overcome the power of the transcendental, made an unusual creaking noise. Someone screamed as it felt like it was going to collapse at any moment.
Even if you were an ordinary transcendental person, it would be annoying, but on top of that, you have the qualifications of a system administrator without any shackles.
No matter how much you hate her, you can’t beat her on Earth.
〖“You seem like a stubborn person.”〗
Yeomra, who was looking at Seo-ra with eyes that seemed to be looking at trouble, eventually sighed.
〖“Stop it. “If your will is so firm, I have no intention of interfering with you any further.”〗
“Where is he?”
〖“It’s in the dark. Since he did not commit a crime on Earth, he cannot be punished for it by the standards of the afterlife. So he is constantly reminded of the sins he committed. That is the punishment given to him.”〗
…Where are you and what are you doing?
Are you ruminating about your sins?
I never thought he would be punished like that. Seo-ra let out a laugh. Damn, if I had known this would come sooner.
〖“He is over there.”〗
When Yeomra stretched out his hand, a black hole appeared in the air.
Seo-ra, who was wondering what that was, soon opened his eyes wide as the faint black fog dissipated and the figure of the manager was revealed.
I saw him for the first time in a few days, curled up in the dark and sleeping. He said he was clearly ruminating on the past, but instead of being in pain, he looked extremely peaceful.
Like a person who sleeps comfortably without dreaming.
〖“As you can see, he accepted that punishment. On the contrary, now that I am paying for my sins, I feel more comfortable than ever. “Do you still plan to take me with you?”〗
Seo-ra looked at the manager quietly. Before she knew it, her magical power that had filled Yeomna Palace had disappeared without a trace.
She did not deny Yeomra’s words. Because the manager’s face definitely looked really good.
But how is that any different from when I spent 50 years alone in the Jewel Mansion?
Paying for your sins while living a lonely life is completely different from feeling the happiness you lost and paying for your sins again.
More than anything, she heard it. Only she could hear the voice of her lover.
The sound of regretting death is his wish to be happy, and his wish to grow old and die with him.
I can hear it so clearly, so how can I ignore it and go back?
“okay. “I will take you.”
Seo-ra looked directly at Yeom-ra. There was not a single flicker in her eyes.
〖“…Then I will give up his soul. If you end up regretting it, you can just die again, so don’t worry.”〗
Is it really necessary to say something like that?
The moment I frowned, Yeomra’s words fell like a lightning bolt.
〖“Then now you go and bring his soul yourself.”〗
“…What?”
