I am not a returner Episode 283:
Dog and Wolf (8)
“What are you saying?”
The eyes of Ojin and the others focused on Liru.
Liru averted his gaze here and there with a hesitant expression and then cautiously opened his mouth.
“Now the village adults...”
When Liru was about to continue speaking.
Quang!
The door opened roughly.
“Liru! “Is Liru here by any chance?!”
Leo came in, breathing heavily.
Leo, who found Liru with Ojin and the others, flopped down in his seat and let out a sigh of relief.
That too for a while.
Leo suddenly got up from his seat and approached Liru with angry steps.
“Didn’t I say you shouldn’t go outside without saying anything?!”
Leo raised his arm as if he was about to slap him.
“I’m sorry oppa.”
Liru closed his eyes tightly and flinched.
Leo, who raised his arm, bit his lip.
“ha.”
Leo hugs the cowering Liru with a deep sigh.
“...I was worried.”
“I was just trying to give you the fruit I picked from the stream earlier.”
“Then you should have told me earlier.”
“...sorry. “I thought it would be okay since it was right next door anyway.”
Liru lowers her head, looking sullen.
Leo patted her back as if he had no choice.
Ojin and the others burst into small laughter at the sight that was so heartwarming just to look at.
“So Liru. “What were you trying to say earlier?”
“huh? “What?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Liru shook his head in confusion.
“I meant that I told the village elders about Ojin and her sisters.”
Liru hesitates with an awkward smile.
“...okay?”
Anyone can see that it seems like he hastily changed the topic, but I decided not to dig into it.
It might be an awkward thing to say in front of Leo.
“Then let’s go back quickly. “The chief might be worried.”
Leo grabbed Liru’s shoulder, using the title ‘Chief’ rather than ‘Dad’.
Liru nodded and turned around.
When the two siblings were about to go out.
Grumble.
A scream of hunger erupted from Leo’s stomach.
“Oh this! “It’s not because I’m starving!”
Leo shook his head urgently, his face red.
Isabella smiled and pointed to the bubbling pot.
“Do you want to have dinner together?”
“...Bah but home.”
“We’ll talk to Mr. Leoru separately.”
It wasn’t far from Leoru’s house anyway, so I was able to get there quickly.
“Ugh.”
“I want to eat together!”
Leo was troubled and Liru jumped up with shining eyes.
The smell of pasta filling the house already made the salivary glands of the two boys and girls, who were growing up eating it, on the verge of exploding.
“Let’s eat dinner together.”
Leo blushed and quietly came to the table and sat down.
Isabella covered her mouth and shook her shoulders as if the two of them were very cute.
“Then I guess I should grill some meat.”
“Meat is the best for kids in their prime.”
Ha-eun burst into laughter and took out a piece of pork belly from her backpack.
“Then I’ll grill the meat.”
“...Are you confident you won’t burn it, sister?”
“Mr. “Even if I can’t cook, I can now at least grill meat, right?”
Ha-eun placed the meat on the frying pan and lightly snapped her fingers.

‘It’s been a little strange since yesterday.’
There’s something I want to say, but it looks like I’m holding it in forcibly.
Come to think of it, Riru, like Leoru, was trying to say something to himself.
‘I guess I’ll find out if I stay here a few more days.’
There wasn’t enough time for that.
“Liru.”
Instead, Ojin lightly gestured towards Liru.
Liru scurried towards Ojin.
“Why are you doing this, brother?”
“I’ll give you this, so keep it.”
“This...?”
Liru tilted her head as she took in the orb emitting blue light.
“It’s a communication bead.”
It was one of the relics that Ojin had prepared with the greatest care before coming to the Demon World.
The moment we were torn apart within this vast demon world, there was no way to meet again without a means of communication.
“The scope is not very wide. “It will be enough to reach the kingdom from here.”
Of course, it was not possible to communicate with places tens or hundreds of kilometers away like on Earth.
Even though it was a communication device, it was closer to a walkie-talkie than a smartphone.
“If anything happens in the village, please contact us through that.”
“yes! all right!”
After lightly stroking the head of Liru, who nodded vigorously, Ojin and the others walked towards the Khan Kingdom.
* * *
As Baek Moo-gang said, once he was equipped with fake ears and a tail model, it was not difficult to enter the Khan Kingdom.
Of course, the Khan Kingdom also had sentries checking identities in front of the castle gate.
They, who do not have a systematic system like the Earth, fell for Ojin’s three-inch tongue and opened the door obediently.
Arriving at a nearby inn, Ojin and his party paid with the money they obtained from the hunters and began investigating in earnest.
For a week, each person would spread out and gather information.
Ojin’s group, who had been scattered to investigate, gathered again at the inn to share the information they had gathered.
“Then who would you like to speak first? “It’s okay even if it’s something trivial, so if you find out anything, please tell me.”
Oh Jin took out a pen and notepad and looked back at the group.
“I’ll tell you first.”
Isabella raises her hand like a smart model student who is always present in the class.
In her hand was a sheaf of paper filled with information she had researched over the past week.
“First of all, the ones who currently hold real power in the Khan Kingdom are the beastmen belonging to the ‘pro-Main faction’.”
“I guess so.”
“But what’s a bit difficult to understand is... they actually said that Horus is not a pro-Main faction.”
“Horus?”
Are you saying that Khan’s representative who sold the country to the Ma’in people and took over real power is not from the pro-Main faction?
“yes. “It is said that even though he was under the rule of the Majins, he did not follow their orders very well.”
[Isn’t it because you are afraid that your power will weaken?]
“Hmm... I’m not sure about that.”
Isabella frowned as she turned over the papers she had prepared one by one.
“Do you remember how the hunters said earlier that they were going to take Leo to the ‘dog fighting ring’?”
“Oh yeah.”
I definitely remember hearing it.
“It’s like an underground fighting arena that is secretly operated within the kingdom... “They say it was Horus who legally banned this place.”
An underground fighting arena where members of the Silver Mane tribe are secretly kidnapped and forced to fight.
Just like the Colosseum in the past, duels involving blood and flesh have long been one of the best forms of entertainment.
It is even more popular entertainment for the beastmen who still have the instincts of beasts.
From the ruler’s point of view, the Colosseum served as more than just a place for entertainment.
‘Because it allows people to vent their accumulated dissatisfaction and stress through entertainment.’
In the past, wasn’t Korea also doing something called the 3S Project to reduce public dissatisfaction?
As such, ‘entertainment streets’ used to play a significant role in running the country.
“But Horus himself banned it?”
“yes. “It’s not just that.”
Isabella narrowed her eyes and continued speaking.
“Mr. Ojin, you know that buying and selling Silver Mane is illegal, right?”
“know.”
It was an easy inference, considering that the hunters had previously been unable to openly say to whom they would sell Leo.
“It was Horus who created that law.”
“....”
Ojin’s eyes frowned.
‘Horus.’
He who betrayed the kingdom and sold it to the demons, for what purpose is he protecting the Silver Wolf Mane tribe?
