Dohyuk had to ask.

What are you thinking?

-Huh?

He didnt know what happened exactly, but he had an educated guess. She was the Goddess of Fire. She tried to kill Dohyuk, but instead something went wrong and it ended up this way. This meant she was obviously hostile against Dohyuk, even if she had to follow what he said. However

-Hungry!

What?

-Im hungry! I want to eat something yummy. Thats what I think now!

Dohyuk scratched his head. It didnt seem like it was lie. If her childish dialogue wasnt for show, she seemed to have lost her power and some of her intelligence.

Any other thoughts than being hungry?

-Pervert is scary! I dont wanna see that anymore!

What do you mean, that

-Dangling thing!

Dohyuk became dizzy. He then changed the question.

You want to kill me, right?

-You, the Pervert? Why would I?

But

-I dont kill pervert. I dont want to see it, but I cant just kill it because I dont want to see it. Its a bad thing to do.

Dohyuk almost shouted angrily, but he stopped himself.

What did you just say?

Bad thing to do. Thats what she said. He wouldve considered it a lie if it wasnt for the realization.

-Besides, I cant eat food if theres no Pervert.

He couldnt feel it. The uncomfortable sense of bloodthirst from all those who came back and gods alike the Parasitic Spirit didnt have it.

Dohyuk rubbed his face and asked, Who are you?

-Kasha!

Not Gahura?

-What is that? I dont know that.

The name was different. Perhaps this spirit was different from Gahura, but Dohyuk had a different understanding of it.

Tell me the last thing you remember. Anything before you were stuck with me.

-Hm.

Gahura, no, the self-claimed Kasha, began to think with her finger on her lips. Then-

-I d-dont know. I dont remember.

Before Dohyuk could say anything, she started tearing up.

-Why? Why dont I remember? Am I stupid? Does Pervert know why? Why?

Dohyuk waved his hand and Kasha stopped talking.

Power intelligence and

Memory too? He then remembered when he first heard Kashas voice. She still spoke like a child, but she sounded much more childish, and she only spoke a few words at most. She couldnt even make herself appear like this back then.

If I feed her more faith

Would she gain back her memory? Or that was a separate matter and she could only gain power and intelligence? Dohyuk then decided to quit thinking about the complicated details. At least for now, he didnt need to worry about being stabbed in the back.

If I give you yummy food

What was important now was if she was going to be useful.

What can you do for me?

-Yummy? Will you give me yummy food?!

If you can earn it.

-I I can make fire and make fire and make fire!

Dohyuk knew that already, but it seemed like Kasha had more things to say.

-And uh I had much more things I can do but I dont remember

Dohyuk sighed as he saw her eyes welling up with tears again.

-Im stupid hungry stupid hungry

Dohyuk then began wondering.

If she gains intelligence from consuming faith

It seemed like amount of faith used to gain intelligence wasnt a lot. Most of his faith went towards using the Divine Power, Ever-burning Flame. Then

You can eat it.

-Huh?

You dont need to do anything for me. Eat as much as you want.

Kasha wasnt human. But Dohyuk saw the face of a human changing within seconds.

But even then the speed wasnt what he expected at all.

-Faith: 113523

-YUMMY!!

Not even a second had passed. It was so sudden that Dohyuk couldnt react.

S

He realized it would reach 0 before he could say the full word.

-Ugh!

There was a gasp, and then it stopped.

-Faith: 70019

The rapid decrease stopped all of a sudden. Now, there was the figure of a normal-sized woman. However, she looked like a young teenage girl.

*Sob*

W-what? Why are you crying? Dohyuk asked.

-Scary lady told me to stop eating but I didnt eat a lot

Dohyuk then realized that something was vibrating in is pocket. He didnt want to take it out, but he couldnt ignore the violent vibrations. It vibrated once

-Im sorry!

Kasha flinched and crouched, scared that someone was going to hit her.

So. Dohyuk sighed and asked again, Can you do something else now?

-Uh I can only make fire for now.

Ugh was it all a waste then?

-Mayb

Kasha almost spoke, but she flinched again.

-B-but its too little! Kasha cant return to normal with this little! I need more! Ten or twenty times more

Wait a minute. Dohyuk stopped her, You need to eat more to return to normal? Did you know that before?

Dohyuk fed her so he could check if her intelligence or power would grow. Kasha was now claiming it to be true, when she did not know it before.

-Uh How did I know that?

Tell me everything else you know.

Dohyuk shook his head. He realized he couldnt ask this spirit any vague questions. He thought for a while about question to ask and when he finally decided

-Hah? What is that thing?

He heard Kashas dumbfounded voice.

-That is a silly Godly Item.

About a day ago, before Dohyuks island came to Busan, he asked Aruga.

-What do you need to do if you want to alter a city?

When he first got the city from Aruga, he was given Casitas power to restructure it. If that was possible for any god, and only difference between Dohyuk and Casita was faith, Dohyuk shouldve had the power to do so again when he received enough faith. When Dohyuk asked this question, he didnt expect to hear a decent answer from Aruga. His city was originally his. But

-Thats a bold question to ask.

Aruga scoffed.

-Say, do you have a Godly Item to serve as a symbol in your city?

At least one. It couldnt be anything. It had to be something that the god considered to be the most valuable treasure. That treasure would allow the god to gain access to control the city.

-How you make it? I am not sure. I changed it out, but my symbols were decided when I became a god automatically, especially with the stuff that I valued most in that region.

Aruga pondered about Dohyuks situation.

-Maybe you werent given a Godly Item because you arent a fully-fledged god. Didnt you say you see faith as a number? I dont see that. Maybe you are a fake god

So, Dohyuk needed a Godly Item to control his city. Yet he didnt have one and he just thought it due to a lack of faith. Thats what he concluded, at least.

Godly Item?

Huh? Heeyun looked confused. She had just arrived to report to Dohyuk and ask him to eat something together. She arrived a while ago, but a weird figure was in front of Dohyuk, so she was just watching them instead of interrupting. Godly Item? I havent said anything like that.

N-no. Im not talking to you. Dohyuk shook his head and turned to Kasha. Kasha was looking at Heeyun. It seemed like she was talking about Heeyun when she said the term, Godly Item.

-I wouldnt use that as a Godly Item. I need a prettier one

She was then shocked by what she just said. Dohyuk realized her size had decreased by half. It seemed like she was using faith to find the memory to answer to her own question.

Can you make a human a Godly Item?

-Why not? If you value human or an object its all

I was never told of th

-Of course you werent told.

Dohyuk was shocked by the sudden voice change.

-That puny Aruga knows nothing.

Kashas eyes glared and she smiled ominously. It was the exact same smile of the vicious Goddess of Fire who tried to kill Dohyuk. But it lasted only for a moment.

-Uh. Eeeeeeeeeeeh

Kasha then returned to a doll-sized form.

-Hungry.

The spirit that had nothing in her mind other than that, looked at Dohyuk.

-Hungry. Pervert, give me f.

Dohyuk made Kasha disappear and looked at Heeyun. He then realized something was wrong. I never touched you before.

WHAT?!

Heeyun was so shocked that she blurted and spitted it out. As she quickly wiped her mouth, Dohyuk quickly approached her and laid both his hands on her shoulders.

!!!

Heeyun then closed her eyes, ready for what was next. Unfortunately, Dohyuk wasnt interested in her face, nor her lips for that matter.

On top of her face, there was a message window.
