The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 405:

Yu-hyun walked along the forest path with Kay’s guidance.

He had no choice but to follow him, now that he knew where Seo Sumin was.

“Wow. I never thought you were her colleague. You never know what people are up to.”

“How did Miss Sumin end up staying as a guest of Mabinogion?”

“Just like that. It just happened.”

Kay chuckled and giggled all the way. He seemed to find something very amusing.

“But it seems like nothing bad happened.”

“No? Of course not. It was very serious at the time, if you look at the situation.”

“Huh? Then why are you laughing?”

“But you said it was serious.”

“It was serious, but it was fun.”

What kind of nonsense is that?

Yu-hyun looked at him with a bewildered expression, but Kay didn’t care at all.

“What? I’m just telling you my honest impression.”

“Kay… sir.”

“Just call me Kay.”

“… Aren’t you a knight of the Round Table?”

“That’s right. I’m also a Divine Spirit of Mabinogion.”

“… But you laugh and say it’s fun when your own territory is in chaos?”

“Normally, they wouldn’t, but I’m different. Those knights and whatnot, they’re all too rigid and boring, aren’t they? I don’t like that kind of thing.”

Kay didn’t try to hide his honesty at all.

He said he was free-Divine Spirited, pragmatic, and liked fun things.

That’s what he was.

He valued money over honor, practicality over glory, and pure fun over chivalry.

He did the same when Mara Papayas fled to their territory, followed by Seo Sumin who chased after him.

It was amazing. But he thought it was fun.

The Demon King from beyond the adjacent realm was running away.

The one chasing him was a beautiful woman with white hair, and the other knights who usually acted stern were in a panic.

How often could he see such a thing in his life?

He didn’t tell Yu-hyun, but in fact Kay laughed like crazy at that time.

He got hit hard on the back of his head by his half-brother Arthur, who told him to calm down, but he thought it was worth it for the fun spectacle.

“You were on guard duty though.”

“It’s my job. I still have to do what I’m given, even if I don’t like it.”

“… I see.”

Yu-hyun felt like he had a rough idea of what kind of person Kay was as he talked to him.

‘A knight who occupies a knight’s position, but is more pragmatic than anyone else.’

Basically, knights are dreamers of romance and have rigid personalities.

Yu-hyun knew what knights were like because he had experienced the most rigid knight up close and inherited his will.

In that sense, calling Kay a knight was an insult to knights.

He was closer to a free and easy mercenary.

He looked like a knight from a fairy tale, but his words and actions were the opposite.

But Yu-hyun felt comfortable with him somehow, so he decided not to point it out.

In fact, he also had the story of a knight, but he didn’t have much awareness of being a knight.

“Well, I don’t have anything to say about that since you say so yourself. Not all knights are like that, and everyone has their own personality.”

“Oh. You’re quite open-minded. That’s good. The world is too uptight these days. I know knights are always stiff and boring, but they’ve gotten worse lately.”

“Is there any problem?”

“No, not really a problem. Just that the things I used to enjoy are gone.”

“Things you used to enjoy?”

“The Story Library closed down.”

“Oh.”

Yu-hyun recalled the conversation he had with White Dragon King Sharuriel.

Celestial Corporation, Comedy Troupe Pae, Exodus – they all stopped their activities as if they had made a promise.

Of course, for the Divine Spirits who used to watch the collectors of Murim World through them, it was like a bolt from the blue.

“I didn’t care much about that stuff from the beginning, so it doesn’t matter to me, but the guys who were into Sihwa seemed to be hit hard. They lost their fun and their personalities became sharper and more rigid. Maybe because of their resentment, they became more stubborn.”

“… I see.”

“Right. It’s funny though. The great Divine Spirits who should resist change are doing this. Anyway…”

He paused for a moment.

“That was until recently. Lately there have been a lot of incidents popping up and everyone is busy.”

“It’s because of the altar moving.”

“Yeah. Not just the altar though. I heard news from the Alliance too. There was a civil war in the Alliance, right?”

Yu-hyun nodded, since he had already revealed that he came from the Alliance.

“The civil war in the Alliance is one thing, but two of the Great Realms got involved in the fight. Olympus and Asgard. And even that stone monkey showed up, I heard the rumor is spreading like wildfire.”

The rumor had already spread uncontrollably.

There was no way to hide it when they fought so blatantly.

The civil war in the Alliance was a matter of concern for the other Great Realms as well.

Even if they were made up of weaklings who couldn’t become Divine Spirits, the Alliance was not a group to be ignored.

The course of the civil war that would determine the direction of the Alliance was a big issue in Mental Realm as well.

And, in fact, the civil war that broke out was much bigger than expected.

“It’s surprising that they got involved in such a fight, but they didn’t just send ordinary soldiers. They sent Divine Spirits who were one of their main forces.”

The most surprising thing was Olympus’s move to send out Hercules, who could be called their ultimate weapon.

“You don’t know how surprised I was. It was shocking enough that Asgard sent Magni, but the one Olympus sent was Hercules himself? The only one in our Mabinogion who can match that monster is Cuchulainn. But then Sun Wukong stepped up and stopped him, and the altar wiped out Salio Empire, which was one of the sides in the Alliance civil war.”

“That’s why Mental Realm is so noisy now.”

Yu-hyun understood why the Great Realm Dragonica was flying around the territory near the Alliance.

Sharuriel said he was passing by to punish a bookworm, but that was just an excuse.

They reacted sensitively to the change.

“I’m kind of interested because this kind of thing suddenly happened, but I don’t think it’s a good thing. Mental Realm has been living without much change from before until now. No change is also Mental Realm’s identity. But that’s shaking now.”

“Do you hate change?”

“Not really. Rather, I don’t mind change itself. We Divine Spirits are stuck in our constellations and have reached the end of our stories, and we can’t move forward anymore.”

“But that’s different from actually changing.”

“Right. It’s ironic though. The ones who should resist change are doing this. Ha.”

Why are the Divine Spirits so interested in the humans of the lower world and enjoy their drama?

What do they see and want from the humans?

There were various reasons, but the most obvious one was to fill their own lack of change.

“The beings of the lower world have infinite directions of development. They can pioneer new futures depending on what choices they make. We, who have already reached the end point, can never follow them, walking their own paths. How fun do you think that looks to the Divine Spirits?”

“You seem to know quite well.”

“I’ve seen enough of those guys. I tried not to be interested in their drama, but the others were different, right? There were guys who were obsessed with it all the time. When you see each other so often, you naturally learn things. Especially for me, there were talkative guys who stuck to me a lot.”

“Are you talking about Gareth?”

“Oh, you know him well. Well, you met him in person, so you must know how curious and talkative he is. You must have had a hard time listening to his chatter.”

“Well, yeah. But he helped me a lot. He also guided me on the way.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Before long, the forest ended and the lake came into view.

The calm lake that had no wind was as clear as looking at a mirror.

The warm sunlight and the blue fields looked like a painting.

“We’re almost there. Just a little more and we’ll reach Camelot.”

“What are you doing as a guest now?”

“I’ve been on guard duty since a few days ago, so I don’t know what’s going on after that, but I heard that she’s just staying quiet.”

“Mara Papias is not chasing her anymore?”

“The Demon King ran away without a trace. Well, she tried to chase him anyway, but our Mabinogion couldn’t just leave the intruder alone either.”

Seo Sumin was staying as a guest, but in fact it was no different from being imprisoned.

She moved under the pretext of chasing Mara Papias, but it was clear that she had invaded Mabinogion’s territory and caused trouble inside.

Still, Mabinogion was in a situation where they could talk, so they didn’t blame Seo Sumin for everything, but they didn’t let her go free either.

First of all, Seo Sumin was an intruder who entered Daesung Army’s territory without permission, so they decided to hold her for a while for Daesung Army’s sake.

“I thought she would cause a lot of trouble, but surprisingly she followed along obediently. It was lucky for both sides.”

“That’s a relief for both sides.”

“Originally, the atmosphere was very tense. We had to save our face, and that lady looked like she wouldn’t be satisfied unless she caught the Demon King she was chasing right away. We almost collided with each other.”

There were also divided opinions within Mabinogion.

Some said to send Seo Sumin away quickly, and some said that she was an intruder and they had pride and couldn’t just let her go.

Kay clicked his tongue as if he was annoyed by remembering it.

“Tsk. How noisy they were about their pride. We have a bomb inside our territory right now, what does pride matter?”

“But it worked out somehow.”

“The opinions didn’t match each other, and that lady’s anger went all the way to the point of almost exploding. Then Gareth came back from his mission.”

And after Gareth said he wanted to see the guest, Seo Sumin’s complaints disappeared like magic.

Yu-hyun could roughly guess what Gareth had told her.

He must have explained that he had returned and what had happened to Kang Hye-rim, who had been the Black Thunder Lord.

Thanks to Gareth, Seo Sumin calmed down and agreed to stay in Mabinogion’s territory for a while.

She was technically imprisoned, but she was treated like a guest and stayed in Camelot’s castle with Gareth’s merit.

“Here we are. This is Camelot.”

As they crossed the lake and climbed over the hill, they saw a huge castle city beyond it.

The towers that soared high enough to pierce the sky boasted a scale that did not lose to Old Town.

This place was where the Knights of the Round Table resided and also a large city that accounted for one axis of Great Army Mabinogion.

Yu-hyun and Kay reached the well-paved road.

Soldiers in armor were guarding it, but they recognized Kay and immediately made way for him.

“Come on. Let’s go.”

There were four roads leading to Camelot: east, west, south and north.

They were huge drawbridges that were over 100m wide and many carriages and people were moving on them.

Yu-hyun glanced down at the railing below the drawbridge.

‘It’s very high.’

There was a steep cliff below the drawbridge.

The fact that they could build such a large bridge with only stone showed the amazingness of the construction technology of the mixed world.

As they crossed the drawbridge and passed the main gate, they could see more details of Camelot.

As they walked along the well-paved road, they soon reached the main castle of Camelot.

As if to prove it, the level of the knights guarding the entrance of the main castle was clearly different from that of the drawbridge entrance.

“Sir Kay?”

“I brought a guest. Open the door.”

“Ah, yes, sir.”

The knights who recognized Kay opened the door right away.

Inside the main castle, there was a scene of knights training and sweating.

They looked at Yu-hyun who came in with Kay with curious eyes.

Some of them even sent suspicious glances at him.

“They’re all very nervous, huh?”

“Yeah, well.”

“It can’t be helped. The situation is so tense these days that they have to be sensitive about this. Here we are.”

Kay said that and opened the door of the guest room.

He didn’t have to tell him where this was and who was waiting inside.

Yu-hyun knew it even before he opened the door, from the light that came out of the gap in the door.

It was a rainbow-colored book that had changed even more brilliantly than when he had seen it before.

And below it, a woman who was lying lazily on a soft sofa like a cat taking a nap.

“Hmm?”

At the same time as Yu-hyun found her, she also found Yu-hyun and opened her eyes wide. Her body bounced up from her seat and stood on the ground.

Yu-hyun wondered what to say and awkwardly smiled and waved his hand.

“Long time no see?”
