When you stare into an invisible mountain spirit.
“Jo Eushin, use the Eye Glow skill.”
As he said that, Baekho-gun’s eyes were filled with a rogue expression.
Did I have to use Eye Glow to see the mountain spirit?
<Skill ‘Eye Glow’ has been activated.>
Woooong—
My vision changed, and my head and eyes began to ring.
‘He’s in the shape of a person.’ A mountain spirit making all sorts of gestures towards me while being grabbed by Baekho-gun by the nape.
“Let it go. I didn’t fall because of him.”
“… … .”
Baekho narrowed his eyes before letting go of his hand. At this, the mountain spirit hurriedly ran and hid behind me. It seemed that he wanted to avoid the gaze of both Baekho and Hwang Jiho.
“Tell me what happened. If it is determined that it is a mountain spirit that harms humans, I will immediately destroy it with my own hands.”
When Hwang Jiho said that, I felt a trembling from behind within the mountain spirit, which was in the midst of confusion.
‘If there is a mountain spirit that lures students into the new role, this is going to be annoying.’
He briefly recounted what had happened last night before the innocence of the mountain spirit perished.
My summary was:
I was taking a walk on Cheoniksan Mountain at night.
I found the Heavenly Water that emitted light.
When I raised my hand, suddenly a strange wave burst out from the heavenly water, and I passed out.
Hwang Jiho, who had been listening quietly, asked. “At the Temple of Heaven?”
“Yes.”
“Did the flow of power that we felt at night flow from the Heavenly Waters?”
“Anyway, it’s not the mountain spirit’s fault. When I touched the Temple of Heaven, the mountain spirit was gone.”
As if the mountain spirit agreed to my words, it jumped from behind. Hwang Jiho then spoke while looking at me with suspicious eyes.
“…A mountain spirit cannot exert that much power. I don’t know much about mountain spirits, but there is no way the power of Heaven and Earth can harm humans.”
“Yes. Don’t bother him too much.”
I didn’t know why, but Sanryung had helped me find a clue yesterday near the Temple of Heaven.
‘What is the relationship between the paranormal universe and the mountain spirit?’
The mountain spirit floated in the air and slowly began to circle around me as if the nobles had lost their energy. In many ways, it seemed to be full of grunge energy considering that it was the mountain spirit of Mt. Cheonik.
“Then why did you climb Mt. Cheonik at that time?”
It was quite difficult to answer this question. I remembered what Seong Guk-eon had asked me to do while investigating the ghost story.
—Using a faction or descendant… … No, it’s okay to borrow power, but don’t let them pay attention to this myth.
When it came to ghost stories, we would have to start an investigation into Hwang Jiho, even if Baekho was like that. This was a violation of the condition that Seong Guk-eon said.
“Just…” Hwang Jiho made a very displeased expression. “…The Heavenly Tree is also a divine tree that remains in our mythology. I will investigate it very thoroughly.”
I knew he was saying this, knowing fully well that I wouldn’t open my mouth.
“Not long after we found you lying down in front of the Temple of Heaven, Year 3 Class 0 students came. They seem to have installed a crude trap near the Temple of Heaven… I’ll have to look into these guys too.”

As I expected, it was not long before the seniors from Year 3 Class 0 came. However, as soon as the words ‘Year 3 Class 0’ came out, the mountain spirit started twitching and spinning rapidly.
‘I wonder if the 3rd-grade class 0 could foretell the energy of the universe…’
Wasn’t this mountain spirit, which seemed to have something to do with the super universe, joking around?
There were also all sorts of traps set up by these particular students, centering on the Temple of Heaven where there was a mountain spirit.
As I looked at the mountain spirit with reasonable and mounting suspicion, the mountain spirit suddenly looked out the window and smoked his tantrum.
“In addition to the investigation of Cheon Dong-su and Year 3 Class 0, we will monitor the mountain spirit for the time being.”
“You watch the mountain spirits?”
It seemed that Hwang Jiho had not yet lifted his doubts about the mountain spirit.
“Since the leylines are reviving at a fast pace, the mountain spirits will soon be fully equipped and able to communicate. Then I will need to hear the details.”
At this, the mountain spirit suddenly grabbed the hem of my robe. Although there was no substance, the halo did not physically touch it.
‘I think it’s an expression of intent to stop me because I don’t like it…’
If I had been more active here, I might have thought that I was really possessed by a mountain spirit. I then began thinking about what to do.
Okay…
The angel sleeping next to me woke up. In addition to this, my opinion was not wrong.
I had indeed come to heaven.
Cree… …!
Suddenly, a roar sounded, much like a beast was ready to attack its prey. The mountain spirit was startled, put the hem of her robe on my back, and ran to the corner of the infirmary.
‘What is this cry I just heard?’
Our cute Olma couldn’t have made a sound like this, so it must have been a mountain spirit or an auditory hallucination.
“Olma?”
King!
At this, Olma barked cutely and jumped into my arms. Apparently, what I just heard was hallucinations.
“Joe Eushin… Did you know that I just showed you the flow of thought based on your low intelligence?” Hwang Jiho said this with a tired expression, but it got better when he saw Olma snuggling into my arms.
I had been very worried about Olma while I fainted, which was probably why she was now acting all cute around me.
Ding dong.
At this point in time, a device message reception tone could be heard. Because I missed classes and extracurricular activities, my classmates and club members sent me messages.
The last thing that arrived was a message from Kim Yuri.
[Kim Yuri] Eushin! what happened? Where are you not sick?
[Kim Yuri] Jiho didn’t even show up today…
[Kim Yuri] …Are you going to keep going to school? ㅠ▽ㅠ?
Of course, my playable character would ask me to keep going to school. Messages kept popping up before I could even reply to the first batch.
[Kim Yuri] Is there going to be a study meeting today? Since the weekend starts tomorrow, I prepared a lot of snacks for us to run hard… >▽<;;
Suddenly, two of the classmates had left, so it must have been lonely for her.
[Me] I’ll take Hwang Jiho too.
[Kim Yuri] Okay! I will wait! ^▽^♡
Olma then came leaning on my hand as I was typing, as if to tell me to start paying more attention to her instead. My hand instinctively came to pet the top of her head
‘I’m sorry, but I have to go.’
I moved my half-raised body and went down under the bed.

“Where are you planning to go?”
“Study meeting.”
“…With your current body state?”
“The test results were normal.”
If there was something wrong, he would have been using a recovery item or receiving a ringer by now. As if my prediction was correct, Hwang Jiho kept his mouth shut.
“Let’s go. Your classmates are waiting for you to come.”
Saying that, I tried to say goodbye to Olma.
King!
“Sorry, I’m sorry. Let’s play together more next time.”
Olma’s head drooped at this, and I knew I couldn’t resist.
“Do you want to go with me?”
King!
Could I show Olma the classmates?
With these thoughts in my head, I remembered when I went for a walk with Baekho-kun. I would walk around openly, knowing that anyone who sees her will think that she looked like a cute angel.
When I asked Kim Yuri if I could take Olma, she eagerly replied that she really wanted to see Olma and told me to bring her.
“Yes. Go! Let me introduce you to my classmates!”
King!
Olma barked brightly and came to bite the reed in the corner of the infirmary in her excitement.
Inwardly, I knew that Olma was actually a genius, and if studied in academia, it would have been accepted as orthodoxy.
* * *
San-ryeong-eun was taken by Baekho-gun by the neck, and Olma and Hwang Jiho headed to Kim Yuri’s house.
Looking forward to meeting our classmate, before entering Yuri Kim’s house, Olma groomed herself by trimming her hair with her front paws. Even without much preparation, she always knew how to look perfect.
“Cute!”
“Cute! What’s your name?”
“It says ‘Olma’ on the necklace.”
“Can I take a picture of her? I want to post it on social media…!”
Olma wagged her tail as she stared up at the students, enjoying the positive reactions that she had gotten.
“I think I know why Eushin didn’t come to school.”
“Right! Olma will make you want to take a day off from school.”
So apparently, Olma was the reason why I refused to go to school.
“Aren’t pets allowed in the dormitory?”
“Yes. Are you looking for a place to leave her in?”
“No. Olma is living in Hwang Jiho’s house.”
At these words, the children made puzzled expressions.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.
“Olma seems to be more friendly with the god of death.”
“That’s right. Of course, I thought Euishin had been raising them.”
“She doesn’t even go near Hwang Jiho.”
Hwang Ji-ho had on a subtle expression at those words, but it was true that he had no choice.
“Today’s snack is homemade unsalted cheese mixed with paprika. It’s a bit bland, but I’m preparing a menu that’s okay for dogs to eat… Oh, I’m also making chicken breast jerky!”
In the meantime, the talented Kim Yuri seemed to have prepared snacks for Olma. While the children played with her, they also helped Kim Yuri set her bowls and cups.
Kim Yuri checked her device and made a surprised expression. “Wow, Da-in clicked the like button very quickly.”
“In the Olma picture?”
“Huh! I also commented that if you have any more photos, please post them.”
“Can you send me a picture?”
“Ah, she even has lots of pretty fashion photos!”
I was more than happy to send Olma’s fashion photos to a happy Kim Yuri, and she immediately posted them on her social media account. It would be difficult for An Da-in to pet Olma herself right now, but she couldn’t help but hope that it would calm her heart even with a photo.
“The face of faith.”
“The vice-captain dog looks stupid.”
“Well, I think that this is an animal therapy effect. Well, I think I’ve relaxed a bit!”
“Hahaha! It’s just that your intelligence is low.”
I couldn’t find it in myself to care about the hubbub.
After eating snacks and taking her note test, I left Kim Yuri’s house. This was because tomorrow was the weekend, and Han-yi and Kwon Lena said they were going to sleep.
‘Next time, I hope Min Green is there too.’
As it was nearing dinner time, Song Dae-Seok appeared and disappeared with Min Green in tow.
‘Seems like it’s a different route today.’
I knew Olma and Hwang Jiho seemed to want me to sleep for the day, but they pretended not to know.
‘I want to organize my thoughts by myself.’
There were many things I wanted to think about.
‘And there’s a place to go on the weekend,’ I thought as I looked at the message that had arrived after I had fainted.
[Min Green] Hey.
[Min Green] Are you busy this weekend?
The next message was sent after a bit of a delay.
[Min Green] Can you help me go to see Master?
It seemed that Min Green was determined to go to meet Hong Kyung-bok.
‘I said that Hong Kyung-bok was in the mountains of Hongcheon, where he was born now.’
When I replied that I would help her. another message soon arrived.
[Sung Siwan] Euishin-ah, do you remember the weekend we asked to investigate together with your grandfather? Do you have the time?
[Sung Siwan] My house is far away, so it will be a little difficult on weekends…
Was this the investigation that Sung Siwan and Gye Dam had done after returning home on the weekend? I wondered why they didn’t investigate right away, but I could tell it was because my home was far away.
[Me] Where are you?
[Sung Siwan] Gangwon-do Hongcheon! It’s quick if you take the airbus, but the villa where my grandfather’s study is located is in the mountains.
Like Hong Kyung-bok, the former head of the Korean branch was also apparently from Hongcheon.
In short, it seemed like there were a lot of things to do at Hongcheon this weekend.
