I have no dreams, I just want to play Episode 120

The subjugation ended so easily that it was in vain. 

The person who faced the devil was not Jinseong, Doyoung, or Junghu, who was the main character, but Jiwoo, the weakest. And the process was very smooth. 

Just as he had previously purified the evil power in the bodies of Illia and Jinseong, Jiwoo gently took the hand held out by the Demon King and injected him with the energy of purification. 

I didn’t know that the effect would be felt not only on the humans who inherited the power, but also on the Demon King himself, but the purification ability gradually erased even the evil power that the Demon King harbored.

However, unlike humans who return to their original state when the power of evil is erased, the Demon King, whose every cell in his body is filled with the power of evil, gradually begins to fade away and erase his existence in the world.

Although eliminating the Demon King was the ultimate goal of the Guardians, Jiwoo was so surprised that he stopped purging for a moment because he wondered if it was right to destroy him through the Demon King’s will.

However, the Demon King smiled comfortably and asked to continue purifying. He said that disappearing from the world was what he wanted so much, and that he had been waiting for a savior like Ji-woo his whole life.

In the end, the Demon King disappeared without a trace.

After that, Ji-woo and the group remained in their seats for a long time, unable to easily understand the situation they were facing.

Afterwards, the party searched the Demon King’s castle to find any remaining dangerous elements, and by checking old data in the Demon King’s study, they learned why the Demon King wanted so much to be purified and extinguished.

In the distant past, when gods, humans, and monsters coexisted, the Demon King was also a human.

He was kinder than anyone else, and he hated himself for being gradually tainted by evil, but no one could kill him, so he endured in boredom for a long time. He waits for someone to one day get rid of him.

However, Jiwoo still has a few unresolved questions.

How did the Demon King know that he was the savior? Also, how did he know that he could purify the Demon King’s power with his purification ability? It was a mystery that could never be solved.

The news that the Demon King had disappeared from the empire spread throughout the empire even before the Guardian Guild arrived in the capital.

After the emperor changed, the people of the empire, who had more leisure in their lives, had more time to enjoy pleasure. The people of the empire had already changed to the point where they held small festivals among themselves for even the smallest good things, but there was no way they could remain silent when faced with the tremendous good news of the subjugation of the Demon King. 

The emperor also declared that such an auspicious event should be celebrated on a large scale and that a festival would be held throughout the empire for the next three days where everyone could play, eat, and enjoy themselves.

On the day of the Guardian Guild’s return, numerous imperial people waited for the Guardian Guild and welcomed their procession.

The expressions on the faces of the imperial people who were clapping and cheering were all filled with happiness.

“You look in a good mood.”

“I know. “I don’t know why seeing those people happy makes me feel good too.”

* * *

I didn’t feel any pity at all even when Ilya curled up his tail and put his head down on the ground sullenly.

It was good to try to become a human being, but they should have stopped him from wandering around vaguely without knowing anything about the world. 

“So how much did you give me?”

“that is… … Everything the emperor gave me after defeating the demon lord last time and everything I’ve collected so far… … .”

Ilya tried her best to answer the questions while keeping an eye on her, but the more she answered, the more Jiwoo’s head hurt.

“How much money is that? What if I just give it all away!”

“But that person said he was originally a bear, and that if I keep drinking the garlic juice he gives me, I can become a human…” … .”

Ilya was frustrated after being deceived by a typical scammer’s comment. She was ignorant of the world outside the forest, but she was so gentle in nature that it was easy for her to believe.

I couldn’t leave Ilya like that, so I took special measures to get rid of him. 

“Going out alone is prohibited for the time being.”

“But… … !”

“You don’t have to become a person, I like you, Ilya.”

I thought that if I had comforted him this much, he would have understood to some extent, but Illya’s spirit did not subside one bit. 

“That’s not good enough to be a companion.”

Ah, it was another start.

I avoided Ilya’s gaze, which was filled with heat and shining burdensomely. 

“I will definitely become a human and become Jiwoo’s companion.”

Jiwoo quietly walked away, pretending not to see Ilya snorting and speaking boldly.

For Ilya in that state, it would have been nice to disappear even for a moment. Ilya was in that state and didn’t listen to anything Jiwoo said.

Well, it wasn’t just Ilia who had to say something. The rest of the group also did the same by not giving up their feelings for Jiwoo. 

“Jiwoo, pack your bags.”

Doyoung suddenly barged into the room and without hesitation ordered us to pack our bags. 

“huh?”

Jiwoo, who was resting helplessly, looked at Doyoung with a puzzled gaze, and Doyoung stepped forward and took out a small bag due to Jiwoo’s slow movements.

“An external schedule has been set.”

“But why am I packing?”

“Because you’re going too.”

“me too?”

Since he had been excluded from work for a long time, the idea of ​​having him accompany him on his schedule seemed unfamiliar, so he asked back. 

“Because of the distance, I have to stay overnight. But Jiwoo, I don’t want to leave you behind.”

What does that mean? Even though he didn’t ask out loud, Doyoung seemed to be able to read Jiwoo’s thoughts just through his facial expressions and gave her an answer that perfectly matched her thoughts. 

“In short, let’s use work as an excuse to go on a date just for the two of us.”

“Isn’t that an abuse of power?”

When Jiwoo spoke with a sullen expression, Doyoung nodded without denying it. 

“If you don’t have this level of privilege, the heavy workload is so unfair.”

Jiwoo, who knew the intensity of Doyoung’s work, had nothing more to say.

It was no exaggeration to say that Doyoung was 80% of the reason why the Guardian Guild was able to sail smoothly. Because Doyoung handling the work alone was no joke. If Doyoung disappeared right now, the guild might not be able to survive even a month and would collapse. It was truly humble of him to only allow a date with Jiwoo as a privilege after putting in so much effort.

Jiwoo, who had always been grateful to Doyoung even though she never showed it or said it out loud, decided to quietly participate in Doyoung’s plan. 

Jiwoo obviously came down with a cooperative spirit… … . 

“Take me too!”

Thanks to Eugene, who discovered Ji-woo and Do-young’s outing, Do-young’s smooth plan was ruined. 

“Go in and train, Kim Yujin.”

Although his motivation to run away with Ji-woo was completely erased, Eugene found the training itself fun and would still spend a long time at the training center. 

Today, of course, I was supposed to be at the training ground, but something caught my eye, so I went outside and ended up finding Jiwoo and Doyoung.

“We’re just going out to have fun, just the two of us.”

“I’m going to work.”

“That’s why we’re going to have fun.”

Doyoung’s conversation, full of logic, did not work for Eugene, who was illogical.

If they’re going to fight like that, wouldn’t it be better for Eugene to pretend to give up and follow their footsteps?

He thought about that for a moment, but since the person Eugene was bullying was Doyoung, not Jiwoo, Jiwoo just watched the two bickering. 

As the noisy scuffle continued a little longer, a familiar silhouette came up behind Jiwoo. It was none other than Jeong Jeong-hu, carrying a simple package on one shoulder. Doyoung must have also noticed Jeonghu’s appearance, and with a deep sigh, he wiped her face and covered Eugene’s mouth. 

“go. Let’s go together. So don’t make a fuss anymore and follow me quietly. “Before other uninvited guests get involved.”

Eugene, who nodded vigorously at Doyoung’s permission to take the next best option, followed without hesitation, but unfortunately, the uninvited guest that Doyoung had mentioned had already appeared. 

“What are you doing, Han Ji-woo?”

Whether Eugene and Doyoung were noisy or not, Jinseong asked with his eyes only focused on Jiwoo, as if he could not see the people around him at all. Jinseong and the other party members seemed to have no intention of narrowing the gap between themselves.

“ah… … . “I have some work to do so I’m going out.”

“Are you even packing your bags?”

“It’s a bit far away, so I think I’ll have to sleep.”

As soon as Ji-woo’s answer came, Jin-seong decided to go with him, but it was Do-young who stopped him. 

“I’m sorry, but it’s a schedule that only allows executives to move.”

“Wasn’t the restriction on the executive level the same as the last time we subdued the demon lord?”

“That’s a different situation. “At that time, I was hoping that humans who had experienced the power of evil might be of some help.”

The conversation between the two did not back down at all. Jinseong was the first to escape the suffocating atmosphere. 

“Jiwoo, what do you think?”

The corners of Jinseong’s mouth turned up nicely when he asked Jiwoo’s opinion.

Naturally, it was because he was confident that Jiwoo would take his side. And that confidence was exactly right.

“Doyoung… … .”

When Jiwoo looked back at Doyoung with a sad voice and expression, Doyoung shook his head as if he was annoyed and walked away.

Because he knew that this action was an unspoken agreement, Jinseong was able to move together with the group to their destination as intended.

Jiwoo’s daily life was generally similar to this. 

As much as Jiwoo was weak to Jinseong, the other party members were weak to Jiwoo.

Although it could not be considered a normal relationship, the companions were not dissatisfied with this relationship at all.

Although selfish, Jiwoo was very happy with her current life. So much so that I regret the useless thoughts of the past.
