Chapter 178: Surprise
The door opened. Kyuho and Yuri were surprised to see Dohyuk walking in. It was because it had been only 20 minutes since the last explosion.
“Sorry. I couldn’t hold onto three,” Dohyuk said as he smiled while looking at Yuri. He had food on the plates on both his hands. Yuri nodded.
“I’ll eat outside.”
Yuri walked out and until Dohyuk placed the plate on the table and brought it over in front of Kyuho...
“...”
He was dumbfounded.
“You don’t like the food?”
“No, not that... where’s she?”
“If you’re talking about Feiyen, she’s at the main cafeteria, eating.”
Dohyuk thought it might distract her from eating if he stayed around since they just had a huge fight. So, he instead took a chance to come see Kyuho.
“I have questions to ask and I believe you haven’t...”
Dohyuk quickly pulled his upper body back in fear. At this point, no monster of any size was able to scare Dohyuk. But...
“...”
He wasn’t used to ‘this’.
“B...brother... wanted to eat... with me... with me...!!”
“...”
Did he say something? Dohyuk couldn’t understand why Kyuho was crying in joy in front of him.
“T-thank you... Brother...”
He could only laugh. He pushed two plates toward Kyuho. He was going to eat also, but he just lost appetite.
“W-what about you?”
“I ate it. You... must be hungry. Go on.”
“Y-yeah.”
Kyuho then began to eat. He quickly finished a plate. Kyuho munched on the food as he reached out for the second plate.
“This...”
He seemed to be very surprised.
“...It’s really filling.”
He wasn’t just saying it. As he said, the food was really filling, enough to make Kyuho who had been on an empty stomach for quite some time to become slightly full. Normal food never did that. The more powerful one became in this changed world, the more food they needed. In Kyuho’s case, the amount of food he needed was 10 to 15 more than the ordinary man. And even then he had to stay hungry. It would require about a house-sized monster to eat to his fill. But this small plate was making him feel full.
“Did you make this?”
“No way.”
More than half of the ingredients were from the Bermurans. They had various recipes and methods to cook high-calorie foods but...
“I bought it. It was expensive.”
What was more amazing was the ‘recipe’ he bought from Emmanoel. Unlike the Bermurans who lost their ‘civilization’, the cooking recipe from Emmanoel was much more advanced.
Dohyuk had placed the people who had been working in the cooking and health industry in the original world to be in charge of the cooking. They were the experts and they were able to utilize their knowledge to create it in just a few months.
The result was the plate that Kyuho was eating. It was well-balanced and filling to be provided to everyone within the city.
“More will come. There will be variations per ingredient... lunchboxes and rations...”
“This...” Kyuho said as he looked at the half-empty second plate, “You didn’t have this last time.”
“It’s not like last time.”
“...”
Kyuho became silent and Dohyuk looked at him. He was loyal to Dohyuk, but everything still was unpredictable. It was hard to tell what Kyuho was thinking from this weird silence.
“Hey, uh...”
“Actually, lot of things had changed,” Kyuho began as he resumed eating from the plate. “When I was sent away last time and realized I was in China... I thought I would take it slow to gather people and come back later. I knew you would not lose to other idiots if you were inside Korea. I thought that while you were cleaning out that place, I would collect other the other Moons.”
“Moons.”
Dohyuk’s 4 lieutenants from the previous life.
“They weren’t in Korea when we started. I don’t like meeting them, but they aren’t stupid. I thought they would come with me if I talked to them about you.”
“So, did you find them?”
“Uh, I was trying to...”
Kyuho looked down with a depressed look.
“It wasn’t easy. It’s the 2nd time, you see? They became smarter.”
Whatever the case, what he said meant that Kyuho went to China alone without much trouble. After he realized that finding the other Moons wasn’t as easy as he thought, Kyuho changed his plans. Rather than going out to look for them, he decided to stay in one place to gain power to become stronger. This was actually quite a good plan, so Kyuho was allowed to become strong in a short amount of time.
He thought it would allow him to move on without any problems this time, but...
“Something weird appeared.”
At that time, the southern area of Korea had a very big problem. Dohyuk had defeated Mayhab and Casita punished all the gods, adding a new rule: gray coins would be given to those who corrupted others.
“After that appeared, these puny gods changed their stance.”
Usually, unlike Dohyuk who openly taunted other gods, it was rare for the gods to deliberately harm the people. To them, humans were their resources. There was no need to harm them or push them away from becoming their followers or completing their missions.
But after the appearance of the coin, everything changed.
“Their main focus turned to collecting idiots to pull those coins from them. That’s not only it. They even blocked people from coming in and out of their region if I said I was not going to believe them.”
“...I see.”
Gathering uncorrupt people so that they can get coins. In order to do that, gods began to do all kinds of dirty tricks they had up in their sleeves to increase their followers so they could do their bidding. It made traveling through regions that much harder.
“I would’ve just dealt with it if it was just one or two regions... but this was too much. Every single one of them was getting on my nerves. It was impossible to come all the way if I was alone.”
“So, you met Feiyen and got through it?”
“Huh? Oh, I’m not talking about her. This is before I met her.”
“...?”
Dohyuk became confused. Was there another one other than Feiyen who helped Kyuho?
“Actually... I was afraid you’d be angry if you found out...” Kyuho said as he was slightly wary of Dohyuk.
“But this sister really shared my views with you. She knew how great you were. I can see when a person is telling the truth if it’s about you, you know.”
“Wait...”
Dohyuk then became pale as he understood what happened then.
“D-don’t worry! I might have made a mistake, but I’ll fix it right away if that’s the case! I know a way to kill myself even if I believe in god! I can self-destruct before she tries to take control of me!”
“.....”
Dohyuk stood up from his seat. Kyuho now had a religion. And that was...
“Dammit.”
Dohyuk definitely knew this mad girl.
