Minsu left like that.

    Through the door opened by King Yeom-ra, he rushed in like a child with a face that seemed to burst into tears if he touched it immediately, saying he could hear someone''s voice.

    The door he entered was not as clear as most other ghosts.

    But it was moderately dark, moderately bright. Like the dawn just before sunrise.

    So one day I found out that the underworld let him off a lot. I thought about the day.

    "Well done. Honestly, I didn''t think it would be weird if Haru didn''t succeed. The soul succeeded in saving the dead. At this point, you can call me Hwata, not a chef. Isn''t it cool? It''s so heart-warming.”

    "That''s cool. Yes, to a certain extent."

    Yeom-ra returned right after Min-su sent her.

    Haru and Yumi were not ready to close the restaurant yet.

    Because you think another ghost is coming? That''s not it. What a load of nonsense. The door to the ear has already been closed.

    Even if ghosts come, they can''t eat anyway. There''s no way two people don''t know that.

    Then why didn''t I prepare for the deadline? It''s simple. It''s not that I didn''t do it, but I couldn''t.

    I have so many things to think about. I really need some time to organize my thoughts.

    "What''s that reaction? You don''t like it? Minsu ended up with a good ending. Don''t tell me it''s not because I can''t make a good voice like other ghosts. I don''t think Haru would do that."

    "Of course not. I didn''t see ghosts for a day or two. Minsu told us what he did wrong and how much wrong. I don''t care about that."

    "Well, I really don''t know this time. Otherwise, I wonder why Haru is so depressed."

    "I''m just, I''m just curious.”

    "Are you curious? What?”

    "Suddenly, I had this thought. The Lord of the Underworld definitely said this. There are so many people like Minsu these days. People whose souls are so dead that they won''t accept the trial in the afterlife.”

    "Oh... now I get it. That''s why you''re doing this is why? How should I say this, Haru. That''s all you''ve ever thought about? That''s amazing. It''s hard for a normal person to do that, you know?"

    The grim reaper said. There are so many people like Minsoo that the underworld is worried about.

    It''s because the world is confused, and correcting it is one of the biggest goals of the underworld.

    Let''s get one thing straight here. It is a story that the grim reaper told in the past, and it is also a common sense story.

    Where do people go when they die? Answer, let''s go to the next world.

    What if we go to the next world? After the trial. You get punished or rewarded for what you''ve done. It''s a story I''ve been telling all along. That''s all.

    But what if we take a step further from here?

    What happens after the punishment and compensation are all over? Actually, I know this one day too.

    "You''re born again after the afterlife. Whether it''s a person or an animal. Forgetting all the memories and being reborn as a new body. You said such a circuit was the essence of the underworld."

    "Because we are the underworld in the East. If it''s similar to the West, it''s similar, but since the story gets too long. That''s right. It''s called Yunhoe. It''s the driving force behind the world. It''s like a cog rolling the earth.""Then let me ask you a question. Lord of the Underworld, if you don''t mind."

    "What happens to people like Minsu whose souls have died after finishing their work in the underworld? This is it, isn''t it?"

    "……Yes, that''s right. I would appreciate it if you could answer me. Seriously."

    It takes a soul to reincarnate. It''s a matter of course.

    As Yeomra said, the nature of the soul is almost the same, just different from what body you are born with.

    You can make it even if you don''t have a body. But not the soul. So people whose souls are dead.

    "Most of them are... about 70 percent, right? Spend time in the underworld and realize it yourself. Haru taught Minsu things. How special and precious you are and how many things you''ve thrown away. Then he repents, and the soul comes back to life."

    Yeomra said. The process usually takes hundreds of years.

    Although time is said to be a meaningless underworld, it has done what would take hundreds of years in just a day or a few days.

    That''s why Yeomra is so amazed and loves it.

    But such a thing doesn''t matter at all. To put it the other way around, the other 30% who didn''t wake up.

    "What happens to the rest? Of the ten, the remaining three."

    "What do you mean? Haru, you know it secretly. That''s why you asked so seriously, right? Just in case, it''s exactly what you thought. It just disappears. Like ghosts who wander around the world and disappear, they disappear like that''s how it disappears. Nothing."

    People who turn the world around in a spinning wheel.

    However, those who gave up on themselves without finding themselves until the end simply fail and disappear.

    It''s literally extinction. As if nothing had happened, it was completely gone.

    And 3 out of 10 people like that. The hands of the day trembled.

    I endured it, but it was hard to endure even one more day.

    "Until now... ..." How many people have disappeared like that?"

    "It''s been a really long time since the underworld was created. Is it meaningful to count the numbers? Personally, I''d like to say that."

    "The numbers are meaningless. Yes, I see.”

    My head went blank. Perhaps the world is a far more brutal place than I thought it would be a day.

    Minsu was just a little lucky.

    Minsu is in the same situation, but many other ghosts didn''t meet for a day. Let''s see what will happen.

    The same was true of Yumi, who was in bad condition. She was staring blankly at the ground with a shocked look on her face.

    I kept going down because my shoulders were heavy. It wasn''t easy.

    The lives of two people who treat ghosts, entertain them, and live in the time they earn.

    But one day I was confident. Because he was a strong man.

    "Help me, King of the Underworld."

    "Help me?"

    Smiling happily. I''m sure everyone knows. How the day will turn out. I don''t know what to say.

    He''ll probably take something out with a look that he knew it would happen again. ……please, I hoped so.

    That''s why I shouted confidently.

    "You know, I don''t want anyone like you to appear on the show. I know Yumi can''t receive all the ghosts. But at least for the ghosts whose souls are dead. "By all cost."

    "Is there a reason for you to go so far?”

    "Of course. They are... I didn''t do much wrong. The world is a bad place. It''s a strange world to drive young people into their 20s and 30s like that. So I''ll sacrifice myself. Let me do something about it.""Haru, do you know that?"

    "What..."

    "I thought the same thing when I first saw Haru."

    "……God of the Underworld."

    "I''m glad your hair is finally a little open. People keep growing. It''s nice to be like this. Hmmmmm, today is a very satisfying day. I''m in a good mood, so it''s all right to chin a little. Don''t you think so?"

    Humming, Yeomra put her hand in her sleeve. Then he took out a jade marble.

    A completely round blue bead. There was nothing special about it. But I could tell just by looking at it.

    All the more because it was an exemplary day. That marble is by no means ordinary.

    No, maybe it''s a really huge treasure. I thought instinctively.

    That''s a very precious thing. Maybe more than anything I''ve ever received from Yeomra. I can''t even put a value on it.

    "Do you know what these beads are?"

    "I''m telling you, it''s hard to know what the underworld''s things that the Underworld sometimes bring. Completely, I don''t know."

    "You know what? As much as……It''s an ordinary jade bead. Isn''t it amazing?

    "Yes?"

    What does this mean? Suddenly, Yumra is saying nonsense.

    It was a day when I thought he was teasing me for a moment, but when I saw Yeom-ra''s eyes, I thought it wasn''t right.

    "I don''t know what you''re trying to say."

    "I''m telling you, there''s not much to the beads themselves. Just plain jade beads. To be a little more specific, yes. In the days when tigers smoked. It''s a jade bead I used when I was still alive."

    "When the Lord of the Underworld was a man?"

    "I mean, I had a similar idea with Haru. Where do you go when a person dies? What''s going to happen? I, who was a human being, died unfortunately died without finding the answer. But those sorrows and worries are embedded in this marble. Being the king of the underworld, I let go of that resentment myself. Here, take it."

    The underworld handed Haru a marble.

    When I accepted it with a puzzled look, the fine beads began to glow softly with a blue glow.

    It felt similar to the light on the back of the house''s precious light given by Yeomra before.

    Feeling like it''s not in this world. It wasn''t hard to notice that it was a light capable of calling ghosts.

    But it''s a little different from the old housekeeping. While the house-wielding maniac just called ghosts recklessly, the light of this jade marble.

    "This jade bead contains my beliefs. It''s the power to find contradictory things, and it''s the light. People who are alive but dead. I will connect the dead but alive people with Haru.”

    "It allows me to find people like that."

    "Even those people, they''ll let you find Haru. Of course, it''s not something you can see everywhere in the country. To what extent does it allow you to interfere with causality to a certain extent? It''s really, really precious. I hope you cherish it.”

    The personal collection of King Yeomra. Also one of the treasures of the underworld.

    Such things, Yeomra lightly handed them over to Haru. Haru and Yumi bowed their heads to say thank you.

    "I''ll do my best. As much as it takes."

    "Fighting. I failed and gave up, but Haru might be different."

    Then, I''ll go now.

    Shung, a stream of wind blew and the underworld disappeared. At the same time, jade beads began to glow subtly.

    Where are they headed? It didn''t seem too far away. And there were so many.The first place we head to is a little surprising.

    "Restaurant home-cooked meals?"
