A YOKAI THAT ASKS TO BE PUT TO SLEEP... HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE? THINK REALLY HARD. I WISH THIS WAS ALL... ...JUST A CRUEL DREAM. IF ONLY... IS THIS RIGHT...? NO MATTER HOW MUCH I SEARCH, I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE SIMILAR CASE... WHY ON EARTH PASS UP ALL THOSE OTHER EXORCISTS AND PICK ME...? OR IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE I JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT...? HONESTLY, WHATEVER THE TRUTH IS, I DON'T WANT TO RUN AWAY FROM THIS. IF I CUT AND RUN NOW, I'LL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE BOUND BY THAT MEMORY. A PROBLEM FACED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. A FEVER EXPERIENCED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I WANT ALL OF THIS TO BE A MEMORY SO PRECIOUS THAT I SAVOR IT ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE. SO I MUST BECOME THE SAVIOR WHO RESCUES THE LANDOWNER— LANDOWNER...? HIS EYES ARE BACK TO NORMAL. THEN WHAT'S STANDING IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW IS... PLAY WITH ME. HM? HUH? OR... ARE YOU STILL THINKING IT OVER? I AM- JAKYEONG. TAKE TOO LONG, AND IT'LL BE TOO LATE. WHERE DOES YANG GI-SEOK END, AND WHERE DOES THE YOKAI BEGIN...? NOT ONLY DID HE COMPLETELY HIDE THE YOKAI'S PRESENCE, BUT THE WAY HE LOOKS RIGHT NOW... HE'S NO DIFFERENT FROM AN ORDINARY HUMAN. WERE YOU WATCHING EVERYTHING THIS WHOLE TIME? WHO KNOWS. I'LL BE WAITING, JAKYEONG. HA... NO WONDER NOBODY COULD CATCH IT. YOKAI AND HUMAN, THEY'VE BECOME COMPLETELY ENTWINED... WELCOME. I CAME BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO ASK. BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAID. I SUPPOSE NOT. SO EXPLAIN IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE. TELLING ME TO PUT YOU TO SLEEP... WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED IT TOO? THAT I AM NOT SOMETHING A SIMPLE SEALING ART CAN SEAL AWAY. I LIKE YOUR RECKLESSNESS. I LIKE YOUR SINISTER AURA, TOO. I THINK I EVEN LIKE THAT HEADACHE- INDUCING CHANT. SINISTER? WHAT ARE YOU... SO, WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO DO? JAKYEONG. YOU'RE... A WOMAN, AREN'T YOU? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — A Tree Beyond the Years #19](/series/a-tree-beyond-the-years-3ei9eo8y/chapter-19-7wq7nm) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/a-tree-beyond-the-years-3ei9eo8y ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
