Chapter - 341 Episode 336. Last (4)
Minsu ate a bowl of ramen and prepared to go back. He said he would visit more restaurants later.
There's nothing good about being simply hungry, and I saved some money anyway, so it's not a big deal to buy a meal.
One day it was OK for now.
There's no reason not to accept customers, and I thought I should help since I'm a customer at Haru's restaurant.
Dining Heaven and Restaurant Homemade do not reject guests in any case.
It was a belief that Haru and Yumi had at the same time.
So, yeah. It's rather good. Let's not be too impatient. There's no such thing as a rush.
'He's a really hard customer. No, maybe it's harder than any ghost guest who's come to the restaurant so far. So let's do it right. I don't know if it's me before, but if it's me now. I'm sure I can. Somehow.'
Haru and Yumi made eye contact at the same time.
I didn't say anything, but the two people's hearts clicked. I was thinking the same thing.
That Minsu is really not easy.
It was Haru and Yumi, who had met so many ghosts, listened to their stories, and released stories, but Minsu was very different.
I don't have anything to tell you. Someone who isn't even sure if he can call it a story.
It was a ghost named Minsu.
Signatures aren't easy.
The reason for death is also suicide. Minsu took his own life.
The reason for committing suicide? I don't think there's a reason to live like this.
He was an ordinary Korean young man who had a normal job, but he felt sick of his life itself.
That's why I like being a ghost. I'm not happy because I'm a ghost, but because I'm afraid I'll be born again as a human.
I'm sick and tired of thinking about living this life again. If you're going to do that, I think it's better to keep wandering around as a ghost.
A young man in his 20s is seriously thinking about this. One day I struggled to embrace my indescribably mixed chest.
"Well, are you going to go back to your original state today?”
Yeah, well, I guess you're full enough. There's nothing else I want to eat. Why? Is there anything else you're curious about?
"First of all... There isn't. I'll let you know if there's anything I want to ask you later."
Okay. I'll answer as many as I can. To be honest, I was a bit rude earlier. Oh, but I mean what I said. Please don't force me because I don't want to be a saint.
"Yes, I understand. Then get home safely. Come back later."
"That's right. I'll be back. I'll make you something more delicious than ramen next time. Let me know if there's anything you want to eat. All right?
Yes, yes. Good luck then.
Minsu, who took out three 1,000 won bills from a leather wallet with a simple design and handed them to Haru, opened the restaurant door and went outside.
When he became invisible, Haru and Yumi sat down at the same time and sighed as if they had promised.
"Sigh..."
"I have a headache. Mr. Haru."
"Me, too, it's been a little quiet lately. Yeah, it's time for a ghost like this to come. Maybe it's already over. That's why the final boss is here. Hahaha……."
Yumi and Haru were really serious, though they were deliberately being nice and playful.
What should I do? What can I do to help that young man.I put my head together for a while, but of course, a good idea didn't pop out immediately. So the world wasn't that easy?
Yumi muttered suddenly.
"I miss you, King Yeomra."
"Suddenly?"
"You're the grim reaper. I really want to see the grim reaper too, but I can't see him for a while. So, Lord of the Underworld."
"What is it? That's cute."
"Ah, all of a sudden?"
"Yumi is cute all of a sudden."
"What's that?….kkk."
I feel like the conversation is going off topic.
I thought it wouldn't be good to take more time here, so I decided to clean up the restaurant and leave work quickly.
Today was the only day that ended early, and from tomorrow, Yumi had to go back to work.
As soon as Minsu, the only guest of the early morning, was washing the dishes.
Pajik-!
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
The light bulb on the ceiling went out with a crackling sound. Power outage. The lights in the table of the table have all gone out.
Others would have wondered what was going on, but Haru and Yumi were just calm.
I've been through this a few times, and it's been happening a lot lately. There was always only one thing that a power outage meant.
"You're really coming? Did Yumi's words become a seed?
"Suddenly, King of the Underworld?"
That the underworld is coming. Soon after, the door to the table heaven opened by itself as soon as the lantern like a whistle light turned on.
What soon appeared was, of course, Yeom-ra. But there was a passenger separately. Haru and Yumi know each other.
"……Huh?"
"You're back, aren't you? Minsu?"
Yes. That's what happened. I was leaving after eating, and he was dragged by someone named Yeomla. But seeing the goblin fire coming out like this way. I think it's true that you're right. That's amazing. I've been dragged by the King of the Underworld.
"That's a rip-off to talk about. Sit down. I have something serious to tell you."
It's not like her, but she looks annoyed. The atmosphere was not so good.
Yumi tactfully pulled out a chair, and Yeom-ra and Min-soo sat down.
I asked if I should serve food, but Yeomra refused. I'm just saying we don't have a lot of course.
And soon, one more unexpected situation.
"This is definitely my mistake. Alas, the King of Hell made a mistake. It must have gotten a lot softer. To be honest, I'm very embarrassed myself. As expected, we need to save the grim reaper. Oh, my head."
"What do you mean a mistake... I'm sorry, King Underworld. I don't understand what you're saying."
Suddenly, he says all this is a mistake.
As the mysterious day opened its eyes, Yeomra pointed to Minsu, who sat right next to him.
"Minsu is a ghost who should have been summoned to the underworld. But I went around the world because I was in a ghost state by mistake. How many days. What if this isn't a mistake?"
"What? Mr. Minsu...…, you're the one who has to go straight to the underworld? You don't have a grudge?”
"Wow, that's what happened? Oh, my God."
Yeomra's bombshell remarks followed. Haru and Yumi, who were genuinely surprised, sprang up from their seats, breathing in vain.
I was so dumbfounded that I even laughed.
The underworld made a mistake? Why?
"What's going on?"
"Then. Minsoo, you didn't have any regrets?" Anyone who doesn't have one?"To be a ghost, you basically have to have a grudge.
We need a reason why we can't go to the underworld yet, and a big reason to remain in the world even after being cursed as a ghost.
But now that I think about it, Minsu was very different from the beginning.
Minsu wanted to stay in this world, but the reason was that he didn't want to be reborn rather than something he couldn't achieve.
It is more comfortable to just float around as a ghost than to be born as a creature and do something.
Honestly, it was a very unusual reason, but he remained a ghost and visited the restaurant, so I was just going to do that.
It was a mistake of the underworld.
One day I felt dizzy in my head. The world suddenly resented it.
"That's what it is, to put it simply. I'm not a man without a grudge. There's no one in the world who's ever been dead. But souls like Minsu are a bit special, so we judge them with something different than HAN.”
"Anything else? What?"
"The sin of abandoning one's duty as a human being. In addition to that, Minsu committed suicide.”
"The sin of losing one's duty...…?”
"I've told you this before, haven't I? Not everyone can be reborn as a human being. Humans are the most valuable creatures on Earth. Only those who have accumulated a lot of good deeds or who have repeatedly reincarnated their sins for a long time can be reborn as human beings. What about you, Minsu? I've almost destroyed the value of such a human being.”
"I don't want to do anything, I'm tired of everything. Because of that?”
"If you think alike, you'll be right.”
Minsu said. I thought it would be meaningless to live like this.
Because the world is such a hard, scary, hellish place. I don't want to live anymore.
Yeomra said it was a sin. Minsu said he committed a big sin.
Of course I know. It was a day when she had done a lot of work with her, so she was probably well known as the highest peak of the population.
But there was one thing I was curious. No, I wanted to ask back. To the underworld king, not Minsu.
"What was so hard about the world...…. Is it Minsu's crime? Lord of the Underworld."
I wanted to ask who the sinner is.
Hm?
Was it an unexpected question? Min-soo, who was in a bad mood, raised his head and looked at the day with eyes full of question marks.
One day I didn't make eye contact with him. I didn't mean you were good, that's what I meant.
One more surprising thing here, however, was none other than Yeomra's answer.
"No. Yeah, well. I'm sure it's not Minsu's fault.”
And one more. A big bomb that goes on.
"I didn't tell Haru. There are a lot of young people like Minsu who just fade away. 3 people a week at the lowest? At least 3 people come out. The people that the world killed.”
"The Lord of the Underworld now sounds like this is really a routine thing."
"There's no reason to lie. That's right. It's normal. At least in Korea now."
Yeomra said. The world is harder to live in than Korea and there are so many hellish places.
But that doesn't mean that Korea is not a chaotic place.
Min-soo muttered with a look that he was a little tired of it.- So what happens to me now? Since I've been arrested like this anyway, I'd like to ask you something.
"Simple. You can come with me to the underworld and be judged. The outcome of the judgment will be determined by the sin you have committed and the good deed you have done, and you will receive it. It's easy, right?"
You sounded special earlier, so I guess there's nothing like that.
"It's a little bit, but it is. Even though they lived like Minsu, their dreams, hopes, and purposes are all dead, but they take into account a little bit in the afterlife. It's good, right?"
I'm dying of joy. Yes, sir.
"But today, I have an interesting idea. Since it's been like this anyway."
The underworld grinned as it looked at the day. One day I felt an indescribable sense of uneasiness.
