〈 Chapter 275 〉 269th Episode – The Rain of Love Falls
*
An unexpected situation where a tail was suddenly cut off.
[You f*cking idiot, Kim Shinwoo, got ruined trying to do a hidden advertisement, didn’t you!!］
‘It’s not a hidden advertisement; it’s just a bit of editing, like on Namu Wiki.’
[……A bit?］
Because of that, the Cardinal started staring at me like he was trying to see right through me.
With eyes dripping with suspicion.
“Who… are you?”
But there’s still a chance.
I steadied my heart, and calmly spoke to the Cardinal.
“Didn’t you know? Any believer of Mother Church can cut off their tail and reattach it.”
“……Wasn’t that the one you just cut off?”
“This bastard doesn’t believe me. I’ll show you.”
With those words, I quickly grabbed Caressy’s tail and yanked it off with all my might.
Crack!!
“That hurts!!!”
And then I showed the Cardinal Caressy’s tail, now limp in my hand.
“See?”
“‘See’ my a!!!”
Naturally, there were no pomp sounds coming from Caressy’s plucked tail.
It seemed a bit stained with blood, though.
While Caressy was hitting me with all her strength.
The Cardinal made a slightly awkward expression.
Pointing at the tip of Caressy’s red-stained tail.
“……Isn’t that bleeding?”
“Watch your words. It’s a day of magic. Do you want to get reported?”
“Oh, I see. Sorry.”
“That was a magical punch, you sh*thead!!!”
The Cardinal averted his gaze with a slightly embarrassed expression.
In contrast, Caressy’s kicks became even fiercer.
“Caressy, why the kicking…”
“That’s exactly what’s f*cking magical.”
At that moment, Peace yelled at me.
[Why the hell did you pull the tail, you idiot!］
‘It’s common sense to touch tails, isn’t it?’
[……Yeah, f*ck. You did touch it. Please do that with snakes next time instead.］
While Peace was saying that like he’d given up,
The Cardinal began to scrunch his face at me.
“Don’t try to deceive me with nonsense. Show me proof that you’re a beastman.”
“This bastard is very suspicious. Wait a moment. I’ll attach it this time.”
I placed Caressy’s tail back in its original position and awkwardly aligned my own tail to the severed end, then looked up at the ceiling and shouted loudly.
“Lord! Please reattach this tail!”
No sooner had I finished speaking than a yellow divine power suddenly enveloped Caressy’s body, and her tail began to reattach.
After her tail was completely reattached, Caressy carefully moved it.
Fortunately, it worked perfectly normal, just like before.
Seeing that, Caressy let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“…Thank goodness… you f*cking cat…”
And in my case, it was a bit different.
Suddenly, fire arrows flew in from somewhere.
Whoosh!
They turned the headband with ears and the tail I was holding into ash in an instant.
As though punishing me for the earlier act of plucking Caressy’s tail.
In the end, what remained at that spot was.
“……Where’s your ears and tail?”
“Oh, f*ck.”
Only the Cardinal’s cold gaze.
Then, the Cardinal made a thoughtful expression and picked up the sword that had bounced off my head, slowly opening his mouth.
“That bastard is a dog bastard.”
The sword did not move.
“That bastard is an idiot.”
The sword did not move.
“That bastard is a madman.”
The sword did not move.
Then, the Cardinal silently glared at me with eyes full of hatred.
He began to verify the last statement’s truth.
With the sword point fixed on me, ready to stab at any moment.
“That bastard is the root of the destruction of the Beastman Kingdom.”
The sword did not move.
Again.
As everyone held their breath while watching the sudden truth check,
The Cardinal’s grip on the sword tightened.
Simultaneously, he began to declare the end of all facts.
“That bastard is… Kim Shinwoo.”
Ironically, the sword did not budge an inch.
As if the series of statements the Cardinal had made were all factually correct.
[When you think about it, it’s just reaping what you sow.］
‘Anyway, it’s all because of God, f*ck.’
The courtroom began to stir again, thanks to the beastmen watching this unfold.
“Human… really?… That profane being… is right there?”
“The term ‘human’ makes sense. Even the most outrageous nonsense can’t be done by an average beastman.”
“But who exactly is Kim Shinwoo? I feel like I’ve heard that name.”
“Even though he’s human, he’s not a human being, so we learned to report him when we see him during sex lessons.”
“I remember! They said it was legal to make a limb-severing fleshlight!”
Everyone was chatting about me here and there.
Mostly in a negative tone.
There were two surprising points about this.
First, I was apparently more famous among the beastmen than I thought.
Based on what those guys were saying, it seemed I had already been set as a target for punishment at least among the Motherless Church.
Wondering if the Mother Church was the same, I quickly asked Caressy.
“Hey, Caressy. Is the opinion about me similar over at Mother Church too?”
“It’s the Mother Church!!!!!!”
After Caressy slapped my face with her tail, she continued.
“The Mother Church initially wanted to woo us as allies and watch things unfold.”
“That’s a relief. I’m glad it turned out that way.”
“……But the Mother Church is no longer here.”
And the second thing was, as Choi Hansol mentioned, I had somehow managed to survive until now with just my tail and headband.
Whether due to their lack of perception or not, no one had recognized me until the trial was over.
Well, at least, until now.
“Anyone could easily recognize that Kim Shinwoo has a scar on his eye!”
“A wolf beastman can have scars; it’s not a big deal, right? It’s more like a turn-on!”
“That’s true. I want to wrap myself around those scars.”
“Why didn’t you notice that his left eye is all red? That’s solid evidence!”
“I thought I got a special Sharingan from Kabuto’s orphanage.”
Eyes filled with hatred and desire began to shoot toward me, landing all over my body.
However, amidst those gazes, one heavier stare stood out clearly.
“Is that you, Kim Shinwoo?”
The Cardinal looked ready to pounce on me any moment.
As I met his gaze, suddenly, Caressy gently grabbed my hand.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this somehow.”
It wasn’t just the Cardinal; it felt like bishops, believers, and holy knights were all ready to charge at any moment.
Though Caressy’s hand kept trembling, she still held onto mine.
This time, as if to say she would help.
In that tense moment.
The courtroom door burst open, and someone began to enter.
“Who is it?”
Without responding to the Cardinal’s sharp question,
The ones who entered through the crack of the open door were none other than Elcia and Ayeon.
Both still wore their purses, so they looked beastman on the outside,
But the Cardinal’s discerning eye pierced straight through their true identities.
“Those bastards are all women!!!”
At that, the believers of the Motherless Church and the bishops began to leap up in a frenzy.
Even more outrageously than when it was revealed I was Kim Shinwoo.
“How dare such females step into this holy space!!!”
“Kill all women and violate the men!!!”
“Your story has failed! From now on, this place is ruled by J Platform!”
Even as Elcia and Ayeon took off their purses, they conveyed something that only I could understand.
Not afraid of the approaching mob of fanatics at all.
“Woo woo! We got everything ready!”
“Sorry for taking so long.”
“…Elcia, what are you eating this time?”
“I shared it because it was there! Wet food is definitely tastier than dry food!”
At that moment, in the face of crisis.
Along with the notification sound from my mobile phone.
I saw a message I had been longing for.
The tool [The time of judgment has come.]
As soon as I saw it, I quickly manipulated my phone to play the BGM.
The BGM was none other than Rain of Love.
Kim TaeWoo.
Out of those three letters in your name, two are the same.
Just lend me the song for a moment.
[…What are you going to do when P&B Entertainment contacts you later?］
“I’ll submit the copyright fee then.”
With the sudden music playing, the Cardinal scoffed with a face full of mockery.
“What are you doing? It’s already over!”
“Yeah, it’s over.”
Seeing the Cardinal who still wore a victorious expression,
I grinned fiercely.
“You guys.”
At that moment, some beastmen with numbers rising above their heads stopped in their tracks and began frantically shouting to the others.
“Everyone, dome-hwan-chia!!!”
“We’re all going to die!!!”
“Breath!!! Get to the corners!!!”
With that, the ceiling of the courtroom collapsed.
What appeared through the brightly opened ceiling was not the blue sky,
But fire raining down, densely filling every corner of the sky with red.
Instead of charging at us, the beastmen that saw that scene tried to flee quickly.
Unfortunately, their attempts were thwarted.
“What will happen when all the beastmen are cooked?”
Elcia began to ensnare all the beastmen charging in.
Perhaps thanks to her having eaten her fill, she was managing it far easier than when she first visited the Beastman Kingdom.
“The answer is boiled meat (??)!”
The rain of fire continued to fall toward the courtroom.
The beasts, all tied up, could only watch with liberated gazes.
At that moment, facing the impending disaster, a holy knight expressed fear in his voice.
Even though he hadn’t been bound by Elcia yet.
It felt like his feet were rooted in place by the overwhelming spectacle.
“Lord…”
It was death itself, soaring from heaven,
To burn Sodom and Gomorrah.
The rain of love (death??) was descending.
