Chapter 120
“Huh?”
I wasn’t the only one caught off guard.
Everyone in the room exchanged bewildered glances.
“The Constellation of the Entangled Apocalypse’s Finalizer is Ulrim, isn’t it?”
“Ulrim is here…?”
The atmosphere took an unsettling turn.
I had placed a perception filter here to prevent anyone from recognizing me.
Why did my ominous premonitions never fail?
A window materialized before my eyes as if it had been waiting.
[ The Constellation’s existence has been revealed. Perception filter deactivated. ]
In that instant, a second wave of chaos erupted in the meat restaurant.
Everyone who perceived my existence lost their composure.
My name carried more weight on this land than Tasha’s, after all.
“It’s Constellation Ulrim!”
“Have we lost our minds…?”
“Um, um, um. Over here! Would it be alright if I bought you a drink…?”
I exhaled deeply, my face buried in my hands.
Of course, the Constellation who had greeted me so warmly harbored no malice.
But ultimately, I was the one entangled in this entire mess.
At that moment, a window blazed across my vision with jarring urgency.
[ High Priest of the Constellation System: Greetings, Constellation Se-um. ]
[ High Priest of the Constellation System: We have confirmed that the Constellation of the Magic Tower’s Peak forcibly deactivated your perception filter. ]
[ High Priest of the Constellation System: This constitutes a grave violation of regulations. A portion of the offending Constellation’s karma will be transferred to you. ]
[ High Priest of the Constellation System: We will also assist in restoring any damages caused by this incident. ]
[ High Priest of the Constellation System: All karma expended for this purpose will be borne by the Constellation System. ]
[ High Priest of the Constellation System: We apologize for any inconvenience to your activities. ]
Immediately after, an enormous amount of karma was settled in my favor.
“…”
The tribulation that had suddenly befallen me seemed utterly insignificant now.
Somehow, the world felt beautiful. Any problem seemed solvable.
That was the sensation coursing through me.
Right, well. I could simply erase everyone’s memories here and start fresh.
All those worries that had plagued me were nothing more than useless thoughts—like the ones I’d had alone in bed at dawn.
[ The Constellation System accesses the developer coordinates of ’34R7h’. ]
[ Repairing the perception filter error of the ‘Constellation of the Entangled Apocalypse’s Finalizer’. ]
In an instant, everyone’s expressions went blank before returning to normal.
They resumed their conversation about Tasha, Ji Chae-ah, and Cinea as if they had no idea what they’d just been discussing.
As if the Constellation of the Entangled Apocalypse’s Finalizer had never been here at all.
All memories held by ordinary humans—and every piece of information revealed because of them—had been erased by the Constellation System.
Ji Chae-ah’s memory of my identity being revealed had been completely erased as well.
Naturally, the window floating in the air had changed too.
[ The Constellation of the Magic Tower’s Peak greets the Constellation in this space warmly. ]
“That was close! If a modifier had been written, it would’ve been a disaster, Constellation!”
“Tell me about it.”
Right, this is exactly why I pay fees to the Constellation System for jobs like this.
[ Se-um: In the end, good things only happened to me ]
[ Tasha: Congratulations. ]
[ Franson: I want karma rewards too if there’s a Constellation out there exposing my identity somewhere ]
[ Se-um: I’ll do it for you right now, let’s go ]
[ Tasha: That’s conspiracy. ]
At this point, there was no way I couldn’t figure out who the Constellation of the Magic Tower’s Peak was.
It was over the moment the word “Magic Tower” came up.
It had to be that Magic Tower Master who’d told me where Parmang was.
And immediately, personal messages for Constellations flooded in like crazy.
The sender was ‘Sellen’. The fact that she’d even revealed her own name showed how sorry she was.
[ Sellen: Hey there, Se-um? Hi, I’m that Magic Tower Master! We met before, remember? ]
[ Sellen: I reached out because I was happy to see you, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. I’m really sorry. ]
[ Sellen: Honestly, he was a client that guy coveted, so I made the contract to get under his skin a bit, but he’s just trash, right? ]
[ Sellen: I’m sorry for causing you trouble. I’ll apologize separately to Natalia the Constellation. ]
[ Sellen: And I’ll make sure my client doesn’t live long. ]
[ Sellen: Use my karma freely! I can just earn more~ ]
[ Se-um: It’s fine, Magic Tower Master. ]
[ Se-um: It’s all because of him anyway. I understand. ]
[ Se-um: But before you shorten that client’s lifespan, I have an urgent favor to ask. ]
Sellen the Constellation readily accepted my ‘covert request’ regarding the Cinea Guild and that matter.
[ Sellen: Honestly, that Yibum kid rejecting my request did annoy me a little. ]
[ Sellen: Honestly~ I was kind of hoping that if the two of you clashed, he’d lose an arm or something~ ]
[ Se-um: That could happen. I sometimes think he’s a bit rude too. ]
[ Se-um: I’ve locked him in the reflection chamber right now. I’ll take responsibility and teach him some manners. ]
[ Sellen: Ooh~ So he’s someone you care about! ]
[ Sellen: I’ll handle Seok Geon-hyung well! ]
[ Se-um: Yes, let’s grab a meal next time. ]
[ Sellen: Huh? ]
[ Sellen: I don’t know why you’re suddenly talking about food, but sure! ]
The meaning didn’t seem to get across at all, but anyway, it was resolved well.
I’d forgotten about your existence for a moment too, Yibum.
I’ve handled it. But you really need to fix that disrespectful attitude toward Constellations.
You almost lost an arm to a Guild Member the moment you left Touch One.
I silently resolved to have a serious talk with you once I pulled you out of the Dimensional Space.
[ Tell him I handled it well. ]
Shortly after, I reached out to Ha Gyuhyuk, who had suddenly gone silent at some point.
Perhaps our boy’s memories were shaken too, leaving him confused.
It could also be that he was simply asleep due to the late hour.
“My Constellation will definitely take revenge on you! What? What? And, and….”
And that man—Seok Geon-hyung, was it?—whom I’d momentarily forgotten about.
He twisted his entire body toward Tasha as he shouted.
It seemed he believed his Constellation would be stronger, precisely because she inhabited such a delicate divine vessel.
How is it that humans can only see fragments of the truth? I couldn’t help but sigh.
Tasha rose to her feet, unable to hide her contempt.
“And what? You want to threaten that the Guild containing you won’t be spared, or that you won’t leave my client alone? Is that what you’re trying to say?”
By this point, he should have sobered up from the alcohol.
Now I understood why they say alcohol is the enemy.
“C-Constellation.”
Ji Chae-ah was trembling, clearly overwhelmed by the situation. She must have been terrified.
[ Tasha: Se-um. ]
[ Tasha: Take care of Chae-ah. ]
[ Tasha: I’ve cast a spell. ]
[ Se-um: Roger. ]
Since I’d made a contract with a Constellation, I couldn’t risk Constellations clashing with one another.
“Here, it’s fine. There.”
“Ahhhhh….”
“That’s it, swallow.”
I left Tasha to handle him and mixed rice with doenjang-jjigae, placed a piece of meat on top, and fed it to Ji Chae-ah.
She was so lovely, tears streaming down her face yet accepting each spoonful without complaint.
“How is it?”
“It’s, it’s delicious.”
“Good, good. Are you full? Then let’s go.”
I left Seok Geon-hyung in Tasha’s hands and led Ji Chae-ah out of the restaurant.
As we disappeared, leaving behind the Constellation wielding tentacles, no one paid us any attention.
The moment we stepped outside, I handed her a teleportation item.
“Here, take this and go straight home. Don’t think about anything today—just sleep well.”
Ji Chae-ah teleported home without asking anything, even as tears streamed down her face.
Tasha had likely cast a spell on her to sleep without thinking for now.
She’s become someone else’s child now, our Chae-ah.
Still, I’m grateful she found a good Constellation.
Nothing went according to plan today, but the outcome is a happy ending, so it works.
Ji Chae-ah gained a Constellation, the one trying to frame Dan Yibum will die young, and I gained karma.
Tasha met a cute client, and though I’m not sure if it counts as a gain, I seem to have grown somewhat closer to Sellen as well.
Ever since arriving on Earth, it’s strange—my unexpected connections with Constellations seem to be increasing.
Is this really okay? I scratched my cheek once.
The night breeze swept past.
A familiar scent drifted through and entered my senses.
What is this?
The moment I turned my body, worried about the olfactory function of my Fire Divine Body, my movement froze entirely.
“Se-um.”
Ha Gyuhyuk stood there, breathing as though gasping for air.
What I’d thought was familiar was the scent of my client—the one I held every night as I slept.
“Did you run all the way here?”
As I approached him, Ha Gyuhyuk hastily draped his outer garment over my shoulders.
Since my Fire Divine Body was small, it was almost completely covered.
“Why did you come? It’s so far away.”
“I heard that word had gotten out about you being here… I was worried.”
“…What?”
Why are you remembering that?
