Episode 500. Poonggang the unicorn horn (3)
“Yap?”
A river of poop?
The rope saw flashed.
The space did not split.
Instead, the unicorn’s coveted horn was scraped off.
It was cut down immediately.
“…Puh hing?”
The unicorn opened its eyes wide. I was intoxicated with happiness for a very brief moment. He was intoxicated by the atmosphere where all the horses in the stables at the villa welcomed him, and he felt like he had become a superstar after a long time, and was enjoying the feeling of being part of the Bulletproof Vests that had descended into reality.
The reason was that I was careless.
“Pureuk? “Puruk hing?”
…what the heck?
The unicorn lifted its stiff head with difficulty. I moved my gaze. Then his horn appeared. My magnificent horn. Horns I was always proud of. All the spirits living in the fairy meadow praised my horn. If I had to choose the most mysterious horn in the world, I would choose my horn.
I said so.
That’s how it should be.
It’s true that it continues to be like that.
however.
“…Puh-hee-hee-hee!”
Why are you raising my horn!
The unicorn shouted with all his might. It had to be that way. This was because his own horn, which was so beautiful and proud, was not attached to his forehead. It was because it was held in the hands of the human Rachiel. I didn’t want to believe it. I never imagined it, nor did I know I would witness this reality. Wouldn’t the grim sight of the apocalypse be less shocking than that?
“Purhirihinhin!”
Under the unicorn’s mane, his eyes became wild. The unicorn did not try to deny reality. The more serious and terrible something is, the harder it is to accept it, but the less damage it does, the less damage it causes. Because somehow I can make up for it even a little bit.
So it was.
Throw in!
“Fuhihing!”
As soon as the unicorn realized that its horn had been cut off and that it was being held by Rakiel, it kicked the ground. The hind hooves, which exceed those of a normal horse, clawed at the dirt floor. A huge amount of dust exploded. And then the unicorn’s muscular body rushed forward.
It was towards Rachiel.
Of course, Rachiel was not embarrassed.
“Wow.”
He was already anticipating the unicorn’s response. Who wouldn’t be angry if their horns were suddenly cut off? Even if a stranger suddenly approaches and rips off one of your eyebrows, a fight will break out. If you’re unlucky, you might get blown away.
What’s more, it was a yard where the horn of a precious unicorn was cut off.
‘also. ‘He’s extremely angry.’
So he had turned on acupuncture point scanning in advance. Thanks to this, I could see the energy and blood flowing through the unicorn’s body boiling over. I could see the hot energy of anger heating up my five organs and rising to my head. Of course, there was also muscle movement.
Throw in!
It was right after he took a step to the side.
The unicorn’s huge body swept past the place where he was. What if you couldn’t avoid it? I would have been blown a few meters with a shock similar to being hit by a light car.
But that result did not happen.
It was a shocking situation for Unicorn.
“Pureuk?”
Did you avoid it?
My dash?
At such close range?
No, by what means?
The unicorn’s eyes, filled with numerous questions, turned to Rachiel. However, when the unicorn turned around, Rachiel was no longer there. At that moment, he was already floating in the air. And before the unicorn could react, he jumped on its back.
Thump!
“Fuhi hing?”
Suddenly, I felt an abominable weight on my back!
The unicorn immediately realized the situation.
And I got even more angry.
“Pureuk?”
A man who cut off his own precious horn. A person who would not be comfortable with not only a headbutt to the body but also a kick to the groin with the back hoof. But now he even dared to jump on his back!
It was humiliating.
Murderous intent surged.
“Purrrrrr! “Puruk!”
dare! dare! How dare you!
It was from then on.
The unicorn started running wild in place. It was to somehow get Rachiel off his back.
But there was one thing the unicorn didn’t know. It was the fact that Rakiel was an expert at hanging on like a leech, and was a person who could be proudly ranked at the top of all mankind.
“Hey! Hey! Hahaha!”
“…Puh hing?”
Rather than falling, Rachiel clung even further. I completely got into the rhythm. Jumping to the beat like a unicorn struggling. Even with the convulsive out-of-beat struggle, it floats. I literally felt my whole body struggling, and my back clung even more.
It wasn’t too much of a stretch.
Thanks to this, it was not the first time I had experienced enduring evil in this way.
‘Being hung up on like this… was normal for self-employed people!’
Oriental medicine doctor.
Oriental medicine clinic.
After all, he is self-employed.
If business doesn’t work, life is doomed.
So clinging on and holding on was my daily routine. In particular, such an atmosphere became more severe as we were hit in the early stages of the coronavirus. A life in which there was no hope for a safety net, as if you couldn’t endure it, you would be left out, and if you were left out, you would be forgotten.
I had to subtract the deposit to survive. I hung on to selling the car. It was a life where I held on until the end, thinking that I couldn’t give up on the Oriental medicine clinic, that this was the greatest reward I had achieved in my life, and that I hadn’t worked so hard to give up.
But I couldn’t hold out until the end.
The oriental medicine clinic that I wanted to protect at all costs ended up failing.
So it was.
‘I’ll hold on, I’ll do it this time!’
In the past, when he was clinging to Urus in Cremo, when he was holding out against Javilon on the burning plains of Amboise, and even through the countless crises that came after that, he often thought about the time when he was holding on at the Oriental Medical Clinic.
It was still the same now. The experience of enduring countless times, the regret of not being able to endure until the end at the most important moment, and using those emotions as nourishment, he clung to them like a leech.
Thanks to this, the unicorn was very embarrassed.
“…puh hing?”
What is this human?
Why isn’t it falling?
It was then.
“horn! “They say it’s growing again!”
Rakiel’s shout struck the unicorn’s ears. His shout continued.
“I’m really sorry for cutting off your horn without your consent! I know these words don’t comfort you, but I still apologize! I’m really sorry! I am the one to kill! so! I! I’d like to offer generous compensation! “Can you please listen?”
“Purmur?”
What kind of bullshit are you talking about?
The unicorn tried to burn his anger even more.
“Let’s think calmly! You can’t reattach horns that have already been cut off! But if you don’t receive my compensation, you won’t be able to make up for the loss!”
“…Puh hing!”
“I know it’s bullshit! I know it’s abominable to do something like this! No matter how urgent and desperate my story is, I know that it cannot and should not be an excuse! Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a bad guy! “He’s such a bastard!”
“Phewheung!”
“Yes, Ulsu!” Swear! swear word!”
“Pur hin hin hin!”
“Did you just curse at Mom?”
“…purr?”
“How did you understand!”
“Puh hing!”
“Just by looking!”
“Purp!”
“anyway! Because I’m sorry! Because I’m truly sorry! Why not give me a chance to make amends! “You’ll end up like an ordinary horse anyway until your horns grow back!”
“…!”
It was the moment Rakiel shouted.
The unicorn’s movements, which seemed to run wild endlessly, suddenly stopped. His eyes were already wide open.
“Purp phu hung?”
If my horn is cut off, I will become an ordinary horse. How did you know that? The unicorn walked in place and snorted in astonishment.
Rachiel continued.
“Don’t ask me how I knew that. It’s complicated to explain. But that’s true anyway, right? “Are you a normal horse now?”
“….”
Crash.
The unicorn’s heart sank.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Rachiel’s mouth.
‘also.’
What he saw was right.
This was thanks to the acupuncture point scanning being turned on. Aside from showing signs of the unicorn running rampant or how it might attack him, he could also see other changes taking place in the unicorn’s body.
‘The passage through which energy and blood flows has narrowed. All of a sudden. I can see that the overall flow momentum has decreased significantly.’
On the other hand, I also felt it through a vague state of mind. The powerful feeling of mana flowing throughout the unicorn’s body instantly faded. To the point where it almost disappears.
But the moment when the change occurred was strange.
That’s because it was from the time the horn was cut off.
Rakiel gave his guess based on that fact.
“So you’re no longer a unicorn. It’s just a horse that is slightly larger than other horses, about 190 centimeters tall and in good shape through exercise. Right?”
“….”
“Can’t I use magic anymore? “You can no longer call spirits?”
“….”
“Probably until the horns grow back. By losing its horn, it would have lost all of its abilities as a unicorn. is not it?”
“….”
right.
This is a frighteningly accurate guess.
The unicorn felt goosebumps rising.
Rachiel’s voice became soft.
“That’s why I’m asking. Yes, you. If you release it into the wild like this. Are you confident that you will survive until your horns grow back and you regain your strength?”
“…purr?”
“okay. I guess I’ll survive somehow. But can we be 100 percent sure of survival?”
“….”
“Probably not 100 percent. Because the wild is an uncertain place. No matter how good you are, not every day is safe. There are also wild beasts. “There are also hunters.”
“….”
“Especially you. The fur color is so pretty. Come on like crazy. I have never seen such a pure white horse with such pure white luster. But what will other people think when they see you running around in the wild?”
“….”
“I’ll probably wipe the drool off my chin as soon as I see it. Why wouldn’t you do that? “A gold nugget is running around on that green meadow, appealing for you to pick it up.”
“….”
“So, the moment you go out into the wild like this, hunters, poachers, woodcutters, and even fishermen will be desperate to catch you.”
“…purr!”
“Wow. Don’t be angry. “I’m telling you the cold truth.”
“Purrrrrr! Puh hing!”
“Oh, I know. It’s because of me. So I will protect you from that harsh reality. Until the horns grow back. Of course, the best treatment is provided as standard. how is it?”
“Pureuk?”
“Do you see the stable here?”
Rachiel’s voice became softer as she pointed to the villa stables.
“After all, it is the best facility in the empire. Clean? Needless to say. Facilities? Isn’t there a place like this? meal? Only the best carefully selected organic ingredients are used. Hair or hoof care? What are you going to do if I tell you? “This is a place that employs only the best professional managers carefully selected from around the world.”
“….”
“Besides, there are enough places to run. Can you see the garden here? This is actually just the front yard. Because of the care and training of the knights’ war horses, they are forced to run at the training ground for at least a certain amount of time. “Of course, for you, that will only be a warm-up, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to keep pace with the best of ordinary horses?”
“….”
“Besides, I think all the best mares are here.”
“…!”
The unicorn’s eyes wavered ever so slightly.
Rachiel did not miss the change.
“Ah, I’m jealous. “The life of an alpha male is one where you go on blind dates and after- dates every day and never get rejected.”
“…purr!”
“That’s it. Plus, what if your horn grows up and you gain the powers of a unicorn? I won’t hold you back then. I will send it to you without any hesitation. “With generous compensation that reflects our apologies.”
“Purmur?”
“To commemorate my graduation and retirement from the villa, I’m shooting a bunch of Elencia roots, which are better than tonics.”
“…!”
“Really. I’ll promise.”
“Fuheung?”
“contract? Of course I should use it. That’s how we trust each other. “You know that promises made only with words have no power, right?”
“Purp!”
Of course.
The unicorn nodded quickly.
After listening, I realized that everything this vile person said was correct. Now I am in a situation where I am a helpless ordinary horse. It’s not a bad thing if it is protected with the best treatment until its horns grow again. Plus, I got some Elencia sprinkles to commemorate my retirement. Isn’t that a delicacy among delicacies that every unicorn in the world wants to try at least once before they die?
“Then deal?”
“Purring! Hee hee!”
Rachiel held out her hand. The unicorn gently bit his fingertip and shook it up and down. It was the moment of a monumental contract in which a fantastic horse with mysterious magical power would melt into the comfortable life of the villa’s stables and transform into a horn shuttle(?) for the rest of his life.
It was also the moment to announce the beginning of the ‘Half Unicorn Antler Farm’ project, which will be set up in the backyard of the villa and continue for hundreds of years.
