我一时间被这个小家伙的力量征服了，“...这是西红柿。”
He pulled out a small memo pad from his inner pocket and jotted down 'tomato' in neat handwriting.
他从内兜里掏出一个小便笺本，用整齐的笔迹写下“西红柿”。
Why was he writing that down, anyway?
他为什么要写下来呢？
"What about your favourite food?"
“你最喜欢的食物是什么?”
"…..Murim dumplings with chicken broth."
“...穆里姆鸡汤饺子。”
My answer prompted a change of expressions in [999]'s face. "Looks like your tongue knows its stuff."
我的回答促使[999]脸上的表情发生了变化，“看来你的舌头知道自己在说什么。”
Well, sure, my three-inch tongue helped me live this far, that's true.
当然，我的三英寸舌头帮助我活到现在，这是真的。
"81st turn is in charge of cooking. His swordsmanship might be lacking, but he's quite talented when it comes to making food. Look forward to it."
81街负责做饭。他的剑术可能不怎么样，但是他在做食物方面很有天赋。期待它的到来。”
Now that I thought about it, 81st turn Yu Jung-Hyeok learned quite a lot of cooking skills for some reason, didn't he? It seemed that he was in charge of meals in this place, then.
现在我想起来了，第81圈的余正赫因为某种原因学会了很多烹饪技巧，不是吗？那时，他似乎是这个地方的主食。
[999] finished jotting down on the memo, jumped off from the bed and glanced back at me. "If you're uncomfortable about something, tell me. Even a dumb guest is a guest nonetheless."
写完备忘录，从床上跳下来，回头看了我一眼。“如果你对某件事感到不舒服，告诉我。尽管如此，即使是一个愚蠢的客人也是一个客人。”
"There is something I want to ask, actually."
“实际上，我有些事情想问。”
"As long as it's not an unnecessary one."
“只要不是不必要的就行。”
"Why did Yu Jung-Hyeok become an 'Outer God'?"
“为什么余正赫成了‘外神’?”
The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok's expression hardened ever so slightly. I continued with my questioning. "Not only that, he even acts as a Constellation with a moniker of 'Secretive Plotter', too…. The 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' that I know of would've never done something like this. He's…."
库马·于重赫的表情变得如此强硬。我继续提问。“不仅如此，他还扮演着星座的角色，被称为‘秘密密谋者’.....。我所知道的‘YuJung-Hyeok’绝不会做这样的事情。他......”
One of the things I realised after coming here was that almost all the kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeoks didn't really like me. Quite often, they would try to pick a fight with me for no reason, and rarely did they provide a proper answer whenever I asked them about something.
来到这里之后，我意识到的一件事是，几乎所有的京科马人都不怎么喜欢我。很多时候，他们会无缘无故地和我吵架，而且每当我问他们一些事情时，他们很少给出正确的答案。
However, this [999] was different. There was that story about the wolf, too. It was as if he wanted to tell me something here.
然而，这[999]是不同的。还有一个关于狼的故事。好像他想在这里告诉我什么。
Thankfully, my gut feeling wasn't wrong.
谢天谢地，我的直觉没有错。
"Just what is the 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' you think you know?"
“你认为你知道的‘YuJung-Hyeok’是什么?”
His voice contained faint traces of scorn. I didn't know what to say.
他的声音里带着一丝轻蔑，我不知道说什么好。
"Do you still believe that you can understand someone through just a few lines of text in a couple of chapters?"
“你是否仍然相信，仅仅通过几章中的几行文字就可以理解一个人?”
I couldn't reply.
我无法回答。
I wasn't sure why. It could be because I thought that I had no right to answer him, or maybe I couldn't find the correct words to say.
我不知道为什么。这可能是因为我认为我没有权利回答他，或者也许我找不到合适的词来说。
[999] quietly studied the indecisive me, before shooting me a criticising glare. He then pulled some things out from a drawer attached to the table to throw them at me. "I heard that you like to read. Maybe, reading that might help you. That book is written for the purpose of understanding the fear of the unknown by foolish humans like you."
静静地研究了优柔寡断的我，然后用批评的眼光看了我一眼。然后他从桌子上的抽屉里拿出一些东西扔向我。“我听说你喜欢读书。也许，阅读这些可能会对你有所帮助。这本书是为了理解像你们这样愚蠢的人类对未知的恐惧而写的。”
What [999] threw at me were several books. I picked one of them up to take a look.
扔给我的是几本书，我拿起其中一本看了看。
