Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4)

Not only was it a fundamental part of one’s appearance, but it also played a decisive role in first impressions.

No matter how attractive someone was, if their hair was greasy and unkempt, the impression they gave from the very beginning would be a bad one.

And if they were bald, as people often said, most people tended to avoid them because they even gave off an intimidating impression.

Although Yoo Sowol couldn’t understand it at all, hair was something extremely important to both men and women.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“The body, hair, and skin are gifts from one’s parents.”

The only ones who more or less escaped that were the Shaolin monks, thanks to their robes and the sense of serenity they projected, but that was an exceptional case.

Moreover, there was a saying.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Withdraw from the world and become monks.

In the end, those who suffered from severe baldness in the Central Plains had only three choices.

That was why pointing at someone who was losing their hair and calling them an unfilial son was something many people saw as perfectly normal.

In the Central Plains, even a single strand of hair was considered something precious.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Or join the Demonic Cult.

The Demonic Cult took in those who had been rejected or persecuted by the world.

Of all of them, those who joined the Demonic Cult were the ones who could live the most peacefully. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Be consumed by resentment and become villains.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

A man spoke in a deep voice.

“Even so, the stares were unavoidable. academy They no longer saw us as unfilial sons, but simply as bald people.”

If anyone there displayed a discriminatory attitude, they were expelled immediately, so they could live without worrying about such things.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Then the man, who seemed to be the group’s representative, spoke again.

Everyone present nodded at once.

They all completely agreed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“It’s far better to be pitied than to be treated like an unfilial son. palette Even so, we endured it. silence At least in the Demonic Cult, we were able to live as people.”

“Just an escort agency? august I wanted to become a doctor. academy But all I ever heard was, if you can’t even take care of your own hair, what kind of doctor do you think you’ll be?”

“I agree.”

“When I lived outside, I couldn’t even get a job at an escort agency.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

That was the reality.

They had all lost their hair.

All they wanted was to live like ordinary people, but they had been looked down upon for absurd reasons.

Everyone gathered there had one thing in common.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Unless someone completely severed family ties, serving and honoring one’s parents was considered an absolute duty.

In the Central Plains, filial piety carried immense weight.

Though the accusation that hurt them the most was being called unfilial sons.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Before, that group had been made up of people united by the suffering of baldness.

“Now we can hold our heads high.”

“I never blamed my parents. academy I did everything I could to care for them despite my limitations. auction But everyone kept pointing fingers at me. altitude Though that’s all over now.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Now they all had full heads of thick hair.

But that was now a thing of the past.

“Ugh…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

They had lived believing they would be mocked for the rest of their lives.

The person beside them, fully understanding how they felt, gave them a few gentle pats on the back.

Some gently stroked their own hair as tears streamed down their cheeks, unable to contain their emotions.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

But those days were over.

“Long live the Heavenly Demon! autumn May ten thousand demons receive blessings!”

“Long live the Heavenly Demon! agent May ten thousand demons receive blessings!”

“All hail the Heavenly Demon!”

Simply applying them to their scalps had revived their hair follicles.

The medicinal herbs the Heavenly Demon had given them.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

It was a phenomenon in which the hair follicles died completely.

Not even the gods could bring something dead back to life.

And yet, the Heavenly Demon and the Demonic Cult had accomplished it.

Baldness wasn’t simply a matter of losing hair.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“That’s right!”

Anyone would.

“We can’t just leave it at this! abandon We have to thank the Heavenly Demon in person!”

How could they not worship her?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Are you insane?!”

Their excitement nearly drove one of them to do something foolish, but they managed to stop him in time.

“I’ll kowtow to her twice!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Since ancient times, people had said that a person’s hairstyle defined their first impression.

Thus, the formerly bald men—or rather, the now proud owners of thick heads of hair—strode confidently out into the streets.

“Who are those people?” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“It’s my first time seeing them. afford Are they new members of the cult?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

And that was only natural.

Moreover, the confidence radiating from their faces enhanced the effect even further.

With full heads of hair, their appearance had changed completely.

The members of the Demonic Cult failed to recognize the group that had once been completely bald or had lost most of their hair.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“But he was bald! admire What happened to him?”

“Wait… isn’t that Noja?”

“Noja? airport The bald guy?”

Little by little, people began recognizing who they were, and astonishment spread.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“The world looks completely different! silence Hahaha!”

“Isn’t all of this the Heavenly Demon’s blessing?”

Finally, overflowing with happiness, they arrived at the Heavenly Demon’s residence.

And the more amazed everyone became, the more Noja’s confidence grew as he walked at the front.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“What?! absorb We can’t behold the Heavenly Demon’s sacred face?!”

“Please, at least let us see her just once! arctic We beg you!”

In other words, the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“No, gentlemen… Please don’t do this. atlas If you keep insisting, you may receive heaven’s punishment.”

And in truth, that was only natural.

After all, who was the Heavenly Demon?

But they were unable to see her.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Well, to tell the truth, Yoo Sowol simply didn’t come out because she was busy growing plants.

It was only natural that no one could meet her so easily.

Within the Demonic Cult, her authority surpassed even that of an emperor.

The living god and symbol of the Demonic Cult.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Moreover, Yoo Sowol possessed immense pride and self-confidence.

But to Yoo Sowol, flowerpots were far more important.

Wi Seolak begged her over and over to at least show herself before the believers.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

She considered being worshipped perfectly natural, so she saw no need to appear before them personally.

“Hmm… I suppose the Heavenly Demon doesn’t just have to look after us, but all the other believers as well.”

“I think we ended up being disrespectful without meaning to.”

“Perhaps we insisted too much.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Even so, they didn’t forget to show their devotion to the Heavenly Demon and even kowtowed before departing.

In the end, they all left without putting up any resistance.

“There are countless more people in the world suffering just as we did.”

“Shouldn’t we spread the Heavenly Demon’s grace throughout the world?”

“So, what should we do now?”

“That’s not a bad idea. adopt While we’re at it, we could also leave the Demonic Cult for the first time in a long while.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

A faith bordering on fanaticism.

And especially in the Western nations, the situation was even worse than in the Central Plains.

There were innumerable people tormented by baldness.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll make the post. album Someone should also go out and spread the word in person.”

“Shouldn’t we post about it in the Gallery as well?”

Those two things alone were enough to motivate them.

And the joy of having received the Heavenly Demon’s grace.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Then I’ll take care of that.”

And so, as they continued posting in the Gallery, the rumor spread farther and farther.

There was nothing they wouldn’t do to spread that blessing throughout the world.

It didn’t take long for them to divide the work.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Excuse me… If I come here… can I really free myself from the shame of being called an unfilial son?”

Only a single day had passed, yet many people were still insisting it was a scam.

But there will always be those who believe and those who refuse to accept reality.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Naturally, they couldn’t hand out the baldness cure freely.

Those who had already received the blessing welcomed him with open arms.

The first to arrive was a man from the Central Plains. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Of course. arctic But you’ll have to wait a little.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“L-Long live the Heavenly Demon! atomic May ten thousand demons receive blessings…?”

“Once a day, you must face the palace where the Heavenly Demon resides and shout the following, Long live the Heavenly Demon! beacon May ten thousand demons receive blessings!”

After all, it was literally a blessing from the Heavenly Demon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

The Demonic Cult had found an opportunity to increase both its wealth and its number of followers.

“L-Long live the Heavenly Demon! galaxy May ten thousand demons receive blessings!!!”

“Brother! voyage Louder! anchor Long live the Heavenly Demon! arch May ten thousand demons receive blessings!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, heavens! canvas When will the medicinal herbs be ready…?”

Faced with such completely unexpected results, Wi Seolak felt anxiety consuming him from the inside.

“…Understood.”

“Wait. portal Why are you so impatient?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

But that was another story.

And then—

The rumor that there existed a remedy capable of not only alleviating baldness but curing it completely soon spread throughout the entire world.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Hmm…”

“Your Majesty. adopt The Demonic Cult’s movements have become rather unusual. atomic I believe we should watch them more closely.”

The Emperor.

The news reached the ears of the sole ruler of the Central Plains.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

But—

Normally, that alone would have been enough reason to mobilize the army.

“…First, we’d better find out what kind of medicinal herb it is.”

“It shall be done.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

And stress was one of the main causes of hair loss.

Before anything else, he had to obtain the very thing he desired.

Although the Emperor was still young, the weight of his position subjected him to enormous pressure.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

I’m only investigating it. absorb This isn’t greed—it’s my duty as a ruler.

Something that directly affected imperial dignity.

***

The influence of the Demonic Cult began spreading throughout the Central Plains.

The baldness remedy that had appeared in the Demonic Cult.

Little by little.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Although there were many places where the news failed to attract much attention.

Its existence and effectiveness stirred both the Gallery and the rest of the world into an uproar.

Races completely unaffected by the problem of baldness.

Mostly among races other than humans.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Many might wonder why a race that seemed to value beer far more than hair would show any interest.

The dwarves.

However, there was one unexpected exception. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

ㄴOh. absorb Then could you give me some? atomic I’ve always had a hard time growing one.

ㄴDoes it work on beards too?

ㄴApparently, it makes beards grow as well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

The reason was very simple.

To a dwarf, a beard was even more important than hair.

ㄴJust come straight to the Demonic Cult and we’ll give you some. timber Haha.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Partly because of the heat.

Furthermore, constantly working in a forge often led to baldness.

In fact, a clean-shaven dwarf was looked down upon far more than a bald one.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

One of the interested dwarves was DwarfPassingBy.

The beard part does interest me a little.

And partly because handling so many metals eventually caused all kinds of illnesses.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

At the moment, everyone was talking about the baldness remedy.

As he proudly stroked his thick beard, he browsed the Gallery.

Gares.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Though there was something that interested him far more.

“Hey. alien Can you see it?”

Even Gares was curious.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

He simply replied indifferently while taking another sip of beer.

A familiar voice came from a completely empty space.

“I keep telling you, I can’t see a thing.”

Gares didn’t even flinch.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“What incredible material. aspect I’ve spent my entire life working with every kind of leather imaginable, but this… this is on another level.”

To anyone’s surprise, a dwarf gradually appeared before Gares.

Shhh.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

The very same dwarf who had previously made boots for Grills in exchange for mandrake liquor.

It was Wagner.

A craftsman who specialized in leatherworking.

“Is this really dinosaur leather?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Of course it is.”

In Wagner’s hands was a fully processed velociraptor hide.

At first glance, it looked like ordinary leather. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“It was already incredible that a dinosaur could turn invisible… but for the leather to retain that ability as well…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Well, it came from the Forest of Four Seasons. sphere I suppose anything is possible there.”

“And the best part is that you just have to wear it like a cloak. echo What kind of madness is this?”

But its properties were absurd.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

That hide possessed the ability to render its wearer invisible.

Simply wearing it as a cloak was enough.

As Wagner examined the leather again and again, he frowned.

And it didn’t even require any special processing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Exactly what I said. aluminum No matter how good a hide is, it never retains an enchantment like this on its own. arch Do you think that if you skin a chameleon, its hide will still blend into its surroundings?”

“The truth is, I didn’t even need to work on it. attic It’s as if someone had already built the invisibility ability into it beforehand.”

“What do you mean?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Of course not.”

Just as Wagner had said.

Gares understood the explanation perfectly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

You would never gain its ability to blend into its surroundings.

Once separated from the animal, the hide was nothing more than ordinary leather.

Even if you used a chameleon’s hide.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

Its properties remained within the leather itself.

But the velociraptor’s hide completely shattered that logic.

“It almost feels artificially made. canvas More than leather, it feels like a finished garment.”

That was precisely why it needed to be worked.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. adjust You just have to wear it as a cloak. action Though… isn’t there a little tip for the craftsman?”

“So this is enough?”

“I knew you’d ask. riddle Here.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

And alongside it, naturally, was soy sauce.

As if he had expected it from the beginning, Gares took out a container of food.

Wagner looked curiously at the unfamiliar food.

It was the acorn muk Grills had promised him earlier.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“They say it’s made from acorns.”

“What’s this?”

“Bah. riddle Do you really think something so simple can impress me…?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

He discreetly picked up a piece of acorn muk.

It seemed he had already made up his mind from the very beginning.

And even carefully dipped it into the soy sauce.

Even as he said that.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Ha! anchor You really know your stuff! atomic Come on, let’s start with this!”

“I knew you were going to say that. altitude I’ve already got it ready.”

“…Where’s the mandrake liquor?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

***

Thwack! agent Thwack!

The two dwarves happily began drinking, using the acorn muk as a snack.

Meanwhile, in the Forest of Four Seasons.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

“Too slow. album Again.”

Grills continued training to master distance control.

“Aaagh! harbor Ugh!”

The growing pains.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 245: Growing Pains (4) by Indra Translations.

We’re not over yet.
