Goblin Workshop In Me

113.

Returning to Earth, Ko Byeong-gap immediately looked at his surroundings to check for any unknown presences. However, it wasn’t easy to identify monsters in the crowd. He groaned for a few seconds before deciding to go home. In fact, from the moment the Monster Wave happened, he couldn’t shake his worries for his mother.

But first, he carried the fainted civilian and went out into the street. He purposely found a soldier and handed the civilian to them. Due to the incident not long ago, he confirmed that the hunters from Illumination couldn’t be trusted. To be honest, Ko Byeong-gap was curious about another thing.

“Is this the only place where the Monster Wave happened?”

Ko Byeong-gap handed over the civilian and asked. The soldier didn’t even seem to know what he heard.

“Oh, that… we’re… we’re trying to figure it out.”

“That’s enough. Thank you.”

Ko Byeong-gap quickly turned away.

‘Please don’t do anything.’

He tried to suppress his anxiety and soon stretched his legs. He ran home by jumping over buildings and pathways. Fortunately, he found no sign of the chaos near his home. He entered the door lock password and opened the front door. His mother, Park Young-ok, was wandering around the living room with a nervous face.

“Son? Oh, son!”

Park Young-ok’s face turned pale due to the bloodstains on Ko Byeong-gap’s clothes. He explained quickly before his mother could faint.

“Mom, it’s okay! This isn’t my blood!”

“No?”

“Oh, I’m fine. I’m not hurt at all.”

“Oh, dear…”

Park Young-ok sat down as if her legs had lost all their strength. Ko Byeong-gap ran to help her.

“Son, why weren’t you answering your phone? I was so worried when I got the disaster text message….”

“Phone call?”

Ko Byeong-gap checked his cell phone. There were more than 10 missed calls. He couldn’t think of his phone since he was so busy.

“Sorry, I didn’t notice it because it was on silent mode.”

“Anyway, I’m glad you’re okay. Oh, God, thank you, Buddha.”

Ko Byeong-gap moved his mother to the sofa and washed. He was lost in his thoughts while the water streamed down his skin.

‘Like what we discussed on Jirisan Mountain last time… monster Waves will happen more frequently in the future. I’ll be away more and more, and I can’t take care of my mom.’

The monsters weren’t the only ones to watch out for, either. Currently, it was hard for people to trust each other. Ko Byeong-gap soon made up his mind.

‘I have to confess everything to my mom, and I have to bring her to Ashvilam until the threat is gone.’

He left the bathroom after taking a shower. Park Young-ok was still soothing her surprising heart. Ko Byeong-gap sat next to his mother. Park Young-ok opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.

“Byeong-gap, I don’t know what you’re doing, but stay at home for the time being. The situation isn’t too bad, is it?”

“Mom, I have something to say about that.”

“Yes?”

“Hmm.”

He cleared his throat.

“What are you waiting for? I’m about to get a little nervous.”

“Mom, I’m a hunter.”

“…What?”

He began the story four years ago on how he became a hunter and lived as a hunter. Not to mention what happened to him last summer, how his life changed, and how he currently lived. Ko Byeong-gap revealed every single detail.

Park Young-ok stared blankly. It wasn’t too much. She knew better than anyone that her husband, Ko Byeong-gap’s father, lived as a porter and passed away in vain. However, her expression softened the more she listened to Ko Byeong-gap’s story. When he reached the end, she had a subtle, sad expression on her face.

“…So where do your Goblin friends live? You want me to go to their world?”

“Yeah, they’re reliable. They may look a little rough on the outside, but once you get to know them, everyone is genuine.”

“A little… hard to believe, but my son wouldn’t lie to his mother.”

Ko Byeong-gap clasped his mother’s hand.

“Mom, I can’t tell you everything, but something dangerous is about to happen. I want you to go to Ashvilam so that I can fight comfortably… no, I’ll be able to work.”

Park Young-ok remained silent for a bit longer. Ko Byeong-gap waited patiently, and soon she spoke.

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

“Yes, let’s pack up right away.”

Ko Byeong-gap simply packed his luggage with clothes his mother would wear. After finishing the preparation, he used his ability in front of his mother for the first time. Park Young-ok couldn’t hide her reaction when he opened the door to Ashvilam.

“That’s… that’s fascinating. Your dad couldn’t do this.”

‘Because he was just an ordinary F-class Awakener.’

It wasn’t that surprising.

“Let’s go.”

He held his mother’s hand and slowly crossed the door.

All Goblins in Valtadren, except for the guards, gathered in the central square. They looked at the podium with slightly startled eyes.

“You idiot, you’re late.”

“I’m sorry, I’ve got a little more to clean up, so I’ve just finished. By the way, why are all the Goblins gathered here?”

Ea tilted her head as she looked at the podium.

“Doran? Oh, the Lord’s here too. By the way, who is the woman next to him? I’ve never seen her before.”

“The Lord’s mother.”

“Mother? Oh… come to think of it, I think they look alike. I’m pretty good at recognizing stuff like that.”

“Come here and just stand. Just stand there.”

Doran sighed and pulled on Ea. At that time, Ko Byeong-gap spoke up.

“Have you all eaten?”

“Yes! We already ate!”

The Goblins answered in unison. When the loud voices rang out, Park Young-ok flinched.

“Can everyone see us?”

“Yes!”

“My mom, Mrs. Park Young-ok, will be staying here from now on.”

Ko Byeong-gap thought about it for a while and said briefly.

“Be nice to her. Okay?”

“Yes!”

“We will do our best to take care of you!”

“Okay, let’s go to work now.”

The Goblins that gathered quickly dissolved. The only ones left in the square were the officers, and the rest went up to the podium and greeted each other.

“My queen, I’ve heard a lot about you from the Lord. My name is Dorma.”

“I’m Kiriyan. It’s an honor to meet you like this.”

“Hello, I’m Doran!”

“I’m Turka. I’m glad you’re well.”

Feel free to let me know if you have any inconveniences in the future.”

The officers bowed their heads and greeted her. Park Young-ok couldn’t understand, so her mouth could only stutter.

“Oh, son, what are they saying?”

“They’re just introducing themselves and saying hello. They wish you well.”

“Oh, hello. I’m Byeong-gap’s mom. I am indebted to my son in many ways. Anyway, nice to meet you.”

“Mom, even if you speak in Korean, they won’t understand you anyway.”

As Ko Byeong-gap said, the Goblins looked puzzled.

“Oh my God, what do we do? Translate quickly.”

“Aha! Your mother can’t speak this way?”

Ea popped out from behind Turka. Park Young-ok was surprised to see her. It was a matter of course, as she appeared to be a living mannequin.

“Oh, you’re here too, Ea. Yes, as you said. My mother can’t speak this way.”

“Can I help you? You know, I have quite a knack for this.”

Ko Byeong-gap swallowed his words while trying to respond reflexively. He shook his head.

“No, you’ve been using too much power lately. You were sick for half a day when you erased the Harpy’s memory.”

“No, it’s okay. It’s not anyone else; it’s your mother. What’s more, we’re going to live together from now on, but if we can’t communicate, it’s going to be uncomfortable.”

“That’s true, but… I’m just wondering if you’re overdoing it.”

“Thank you for your concern, but it’s still bearable. I’m stronger than I look, and I’ve been so happy that you’ve brought in my kind. Don’t you understand how much I want to repay you in this way? I know grace and shame.”

“Well, then I’ll ask you a favor.”

“Yes!”
