Chapter 10 - Boogie Boogie Boogie (2)
Chapter 10: Boogie Boogie Boogie (2)
TL/ED – Enuma ID
To summarize what Cheol-min said.
There was a problem with the house where the granddaughter of a rich painter named Smith lived. He wanted me to somehow solve it well with the good Buddha energy I possessed.
One of my eyes furrowed on its own.
Е nū mа̀.і̌d
‘Did this old man eat something wrong? What the hell is Buddha energy?’
I had no idea what kind of seasoning he had added to the old man named Smith.

He said he would give a reward as a sign of gratitude if the granddaughter’s problem was resolved, but….
Going into a creepy mansion on my own feet just for money. This was way too much like the opening of a horror movie.
And a rich guy would have tried all sorts of things already.
If it had come down to my turn, it was even more likely not something proper.
Е̊ń u m ȧ
It might even be something beyond my current abilities.
The most important first method of preventing danger was to not go to dangerous places in the first place.
This was a world where you could get screwed just by breathing quietly. I wondered if I really needed to go in there first.
So I chose some words to politely refuse.

‘Thank you for thinking highly of me, but I am not an exorcist. For the sake of Mr. Smith and his granddaughter, I think it would be better to leave this matter to a professional.’
“Yo-han ssi, the reward is thirty million won! Thirty million!”
Ёn̊ u m å . і d
It was far too much money to say “so what” to. At least by my standards.
With that money, I could stop doing part-time jobs and focus more on Magic.
For a moment I imagined slapping the comic book store owner’s cheek with a bundle of cash, but since we were not on bad terms, I stopped myself.
“…I see. Hearing the story, it really is unfortunate.”
I said it in a calm voice like a professional I had seen in movies.
“I do not know if I can help Mr. Smith, but I cannot just stand by in the face of such injustice.”

Kim Yo-han, a man who can’t stand by when he sees injustice.
Currently a person involved in an incident where two people had died. A cover-up operation. He himself claimed it was an accident.
Anyway, after ending the call.
I sat down on a chair and tapped the steel cover of the Grimoire with my finger as I thought for a moment.
First of all, my top priority was always myself.
I did not care whether Smith died or his granddaughter died.
Ên u mа̇.ìd
If it seemed like my life would be in danger, I would summon Grizzly and run away even if it meant his identity would be exposed.
If I died while trying to be stingy, there was no greater stupidity than that.

And I had to consider that Smith was a rich man, but….
Thirty million. An exorcist could earn this much with one good job?
At this point, being a Wizard and not doing exorcist work as a side job was basically a loss.
‘I, go beat up ghosts and money comes out.’ That was all it was.
Wе̃b̊ n̈ оv ё l̇ Еn ùm a
I knew there was a risk, but it was also a chance too good to pass up.
“…Ha!”
A hollow laugh escaped me. In the end, it had turned into a typical horror movie cliche.
I stood up with a pleasant, self-mocking smile.

I took out meat and milk from the refrigerator, prepared Grizzly’s meal, and said.
“Grizzly, eat a lot. We are going on a business trip.”
Е̇n.ǔṁа.
“Gyaaah~.”
I packed a change of clothes into a large backpack.
The Grimoire, a Holy Water wand and a water container filled with Holy Water, and a white coat.
I neatly packed away the Magic items.
The incense pouch was small, and it would be better for me to keep it on me.
I also did not forget to store Grizzly’s nutritious snacks, meat and milk, in an icebox.

If something went wrong, I might end up having to procure meat locally, after all….
Anyway, the business trip preparations were complete.
***
After transferring buses several times and arriving at the foot of a mountain road by checking the address sent to my phone, a driver was waiting.
“Are you Teacher Kim Yo-han?”
“Yes, I am Kim Yo-han. However, I am not someone worthy of being called a Teacher.”
W е̂ b nõv е̌l Eǹ u m̆а
I got into the car and, as we climbed the mountain road, looked at the scenery filled with greenery.
When the weather was good, it was fine, but if there was heavy snow or rain, it seemed like one would have to be careful.

It was because of the granddaughter’s health, was it… They lived in quite an isolated place.
I did not know because I had no interest in art.
But on the way here, I briefly searched about Smith on the bus, and he turned out to be an even more remarkable person than I had thought.
After some time passed, the car stopped.
Ё n̆ u̇m̊a . id
I got out of the car and looked at an old-fashioned Western-style mansion with a beautiful garden.
So this was the house where a painter who sold paintings worth three billion won lived. Impressive.
Suddenly, a passage from the fairy tale The Little Prince came to mind.
It was probably something like this.

Adults don’t understand if you say the house is a wonderful brick house, but they admire it if you say it’s an expensive house.
I felt proud of myself for having become such a fine adult.
W ѐ b n оv̆ е̇l Е̌nûmӓ
When I entered the mansion. A housekeeper who looked to be in her early to mid twenties greeted me.
“Uh, welcome! I will guide you this way.”
She led me to a space that looked like a lounge with many sofas and chairs.
The gazes of the other guests who had arrived earlier focused on me.
I also calmly examined the others.
There were four guests besides me, two men and two women.

Then a middle-aged man wearing a cross around his neck looked at me and suddenly clicked his tongue.
“An icebox? It is not like you came here for a picnic, tsk tsk.”
Why was he picking a fight all of a sudden? I thought… but I just ignored it.
It seemed that Smith ssi had not called only me, but had invited people from various exorcism professions.
In other words, to that man, I probably looked like a rival competing over thirty million won.
Fine, I had no intention of backing out either. Come at me.

The middle-aged man wearing a cross, a woman with heavy eye makeup, a young man in good clothes who looked displeased.
…And a young nun. A nun?

Was she really a nun?
My eyes narrowed slightly. She was not wearing a veil, but her outfit was a nun’s habit.
Neat and beautiful long black hair, very fair skin, and a pretty face with a youthful yet gentle impression. A proper sitting posture.
Sensing my gaze, the nun slightly bowed her upper body in a polite gesture of greeting.

I had only looked because she was unusual, and there was no reason to talk to her.
I slightly bowed my head in return and sat down in an appropriate seat.
And not long after.
Perhaps because I was the last invited guest. The owner of the mansion, Mr. Smith, appeared in the lounge.

“Thank you all for coming at my request. Emily, come here.”
And following behind him.
Е̃ñ um̂ а̇. i ď
“Yes… Grandfather….”
A blonde girl with pale skin, Emily, entered while being supported by the housekeeper.
Smith led Emily and had her greet each guest one by one.
“Pastor Go Ju-won, thank you for coming.”
The middle-aged man wearing the cross, Pastor Go Ju-won, spoke with a sorrowful face.
“Why would something like this happen to such a good person like you, Mr. Smith… You should have told me earlier. Next time, please come to our church together with your granddaughter. I will take a closer look.”

“…Thank you, Pastor.”
Emily replied weakly, and next was the woman with heavy eye makeup, the shaman Park Min-hee.
“The Yin Qi is overflowing. It is a very dangerous state.”
Seeing how pale Emily’s face was, I thought I could say at least that much too.
The well-dressed young man, Smith’s disciple Kim Soo-hyun, spoke with a reluctant expression.
“Teacher, why such irrational… no, never mind. I am just worried that Emily’s condition might worsen.”
W еb ñо v ё l E n u.m а.
“…Thank you for coming. It is good to have even one more person. Thank you for worrying about Emily.”
And in front of the nun, Smith showed a truly friendly expression different from the businesslike attitude he had shown until now, and his voice, which had been heavy with concern, brightened for a moment as he spoke.

“Ellie, thank you so much for coming. You will be a great help to Emily.”
“No. My mother does not seem able to come, so I thought I should come at least. I am sorry.”
It seemed that, due to some kind of connection, she was already acquainted with the Smith family.
Now it was my turn.
Е n̂u̇ m а .і̊ d̂
“Yo-han ssi, it was a sudden request, but thank you for coming like this.”
“No, it is fine. I do not know if I can help, but I will do my best….”
At the moment I tried to shake hands with Mr. Smith.
“…Uuk!? Wek! Uuuuk!!”

Suddenly, Emily, who had been standing beside Smith, jerked as her body convulsed and she dry heaved.
She covered her mouth and nose with her hand, staggered, and moved away from me.

“Uuk… s-sorry. The, the smell is too strong… uuuuk!”
What was wrong with this bitch? How rude for a first meeting.
Just kidding, and with curiosity, I quietly looked at Emily.
‘Smell?’
Emily fled from the lounge with the support of the housekeeper.
The people who had been sitting near me just a moment ago moved away from my side.

“……….”
Perhaps worried about Emily, Smith finished the greetings just like that and left his seat.
“…You must be tired from coming. We have prepared a meal, so let us go to the dining room.”
I raised my arm and brought it to my nose to smell.
I had sweated a little while riding the bus, but it was not a smell bad enough to make someone retch.
…And when I subtly looked to the side.

The unusual nun who was not wearing a veil.
Ellie came closer to me, tilted her head, and sniffed as she smelled.

“Hm? Hmm- hmm-?”
Then, sensing my gaze, she became flustered and said.
“Ah! Th-that is, she said there is a smell, but it does not really seem like there is one. Rather, an incense smell? It feels like there is a nice fragrance.”
My eyes narrowed.

‘An incense smell….’
Fortunately, my nose wasn’t the problem.
“Thank you.”
I replied briefly and followed the Smith’s group, who had gone ahead, out of the lounge.
