Chapter 4: Celestial Realm (1) (1/2)

Chapter 4: Celestial Realht blinded Chi-Woo By the ti pressure on his pupils A vast sea of clouds looripped his heart Below the clear blue sky, white steam bloomed upwards and stretched out like an endless carpet

“…What…” Chi-Woo couldn’t help but admire the far-off horizon before hi to describe the scene His dazed admiration was interrupted when the alien lizard lifted his body up After sto down the stairs, the alien lizard placed Chi-Woo carefully down on the carpet made of clouds Chi-Woo was about to ask what the alien lizard was doing when a soft sensation embraced him

‘What if I suddenly fall off?’ Chi-Woo wondered anxiously The cloud was so soft and fluffy that it

“How is it, sir?” The alien lizard’s face suddenly popped out above hiical capability to configure a scene like this?” It was like he was asking if Chi-Woo still thought he was in a drea to see how pleased the alien lizard looked with himself, but Chi-Woo couldn’t find the words to refute He had seen advertise that their beds were as comfortable as clouds before, but he had never seen or heard of a bed that waswas created by coraphics, the sensation he felt told him otherwise

“I suppose you find it difficult to believe everything with just this” As if he had read Chi-Woo’s mind, the alien lizard winked “But do not worry, sir I still have a inning” The alien lizard’s past pro now

Looking around his surroundings quietly, Chi-Woo realized that he had reached the bottom of the stairs, and he stared at the direction he had co that resenificently on top As he stared at the building blankly, one of the s the alien lizard had blabbered to hi” Chi-Woo’s voice sounded slightly relaxed, and he spoke much more politely than before “Didn’t you say those who aren’t invited to the Celestial Real over there first?”

“You have been listening to me the whole time, sir?” the alien lizard smiled widely in joy and answered, “Yes, it is as you say Those without per the real”

Chi-Woo was about to remark, ‘Isn’t that me?’ but stopped and asked, “Then, what happens to them?”

“They are taken care of,” the alien lizard replied simply, but when he saw Chi-Woo stare hard at him, the alien lizard quickly said, “…No, not all of theh the necessary procedures…Uh…Well, it’s not as if you weren’t invited at all, sir…” By the way he stammered, it seemed the alien lizard wasn’t completely confident about his statements either

“Do you often hear that you don’t think things through?”

The alien lizard twitched He averted Chi-Woo’s gaze and coughed “Urmph! As I told you before, there’s no need to worry, sir By ‘taken care of’, I mean that they had their inally at”

Chi-Woo smacked his lips In that case, it was exactly what he wanted to happen

“Well, it’s about ti Look!” The alien lizard pointed forith his tail

Chi-Woo wanted to complain hoas supposed to look when he was tied and laid on the floor, but he turned to the direction where the alien lizard was pointing at anyway At first, he only saw a faint haze Upon a closer look, he saw a si his way

“What is co…?” Chi-Woo was about to ask and stopped

The alien lizard’s face froze He pursed his lips tightly and his tail was stiffened upwards, clearly showing his tenseness Chi-Woo suddenly felt an unfamiliar touch beside his head His body also went still like the alien lizard

‘Already?’

He shi+fted his eyes for a moment when he felt a presence near him He tried to tilt his head asfrom his position Instead, a chilly sensation touched his left cheek Then the ain

“Don’t move Please stay still, sir,” The alien lizard said in a low voice

Chi-Woo felt a e to cause havoc so that he could return home, but decided to stay still; it was because for so very bad would happen if he did otherwise

“You must not move recklessly, sir Their first instinct is to be extree you as a harmful existence, they will…”

Chi-Woo was in such a nervous state that he couldn’t hear the alien lizard well Even though the sensation he felt at his left cheek bothered him, he couldn’t dare to look around

“…Be careful, sir If hell’s gate has Cerberus, the Celestial Realm has Sorebrek”

‘da, he should do sorumbled inside his mind as he laid fixed on the spot

Lick

So licked his left cheek and startled him

“What—”

Chi-Woo looked forward instinctively and stared in disbelief The first thought he had was: ‘A cat?’

A pair of pointy ears protruded from a round face The creature looked to be about thirty centi tail Of course, it would be ludicrous to think the creature in front of hiht it avering; and now, he saw its whole body was ht and shone, but its pupils were not visible However, the nificant difference they had with a real cat was its pair of wings, neatly folded on top of its back

Chi-Woo felt his body relax He had been anxious when he heard that this creature rivaled the three-headed guard dog in hell that breathed out hellish flames

Lick Lick

The way they licked his face was just like a friendly, street cat ‘No’ He couldn’t let his guard down He couldn’t judge a creature he had never met just by its outward appearance

—Mya, ht this, the cat—no, the sorebrek rubbed its cheek against Chi-Woo’s while letting out cute sounds

“…”

Chi-Woo was confused Was the creature trying to lower his guard by using its cuteness? Yet, no matter how he looked at it, the sorebrek didn’t seem wary of him at all Chi-Woo looked towards the alien lizard for confir blankly with his eyes wide andwide open at Chi-Woo

—Myaaaaa~

The sorebrek purred happily after rubbing its cheeks
