183 – Troubleshooter (3)
Due to the scarab mukbang incident, Dawn cried for a while.
I watched without doing anything until Dawn cried. All I can feel is the crunchy texture of the beetle.
After a while, Dawn, probably because I was all crying, glared at me venomously. The swollen eye area is impressive.
“I’m going to tell everything to Dad!”
“Yes.”
“I will never give you a scarab again!”
This is an extremely 5-year-old phrase. I listened to Dawn, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“I’ll find it first.”
“Uh, huh?”
“I have to eat everything.”
“Oh, no! Don’t eat it!”
I didn’t know because I’ve never played with kids before.
How fun it is to tease kids. The reaction is delicious because it is close to the purest soul.
I followed Dawn secretly, whether he was struggling(?) To protect the scarab or not.
Sometimes there were insects that looked quite tasty, but I held back this time.
Otherwise, I felt like I would really get upset. Destroying your child’s heart once is enough.
“Oh. This is amazing…”
“It looks delicious. I’ll enjoy it.”
“Ah, ah!!”
Of course, poisonous insects, plants, mushrooms, etc. Came into my mouth.
Even if it is a small amount of poison, Dawn is still a child. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger.
Even if you are okay, there is a possibility of permanent disability. The idea is to block it in advance.
“Don’t eat it! It’s mine!”
“I don’t want to eat it. I want to eat it.”
“Really!!”
Dawn stamped his legs and lost his temper. But it can’t be helped.

What Dawn was trying to catch just now was a mushroom, a mushroom that stings just by touching it with his hand.
A deadly poison that can paralyze your entire body just by putting it in your mouth. But to me it was nothing more than a unique texture.
‘Most poisons have a pungent sensation like carbonation.’
Even if you ingest a slightly harsh poison, it’s okay, with only a little diarrhea the next day.
I followed Dawn, feeling the sensation of something popping in my mouth.
Luckily, he didn’t touch anything poisonous and just played around catching bugs like normal.
Sometimes I spent time playing with harmless animals like squirrels.
“Let’s go now. I want to have a snack.”
“Snack?”
“Yes, ice cream. Do you want some too?”
I like ice cream too. I nodded and answered.
“Scarab beetles are also delicious.”
“I’m not eating!”
This is a bit disappointing. How delicious are scarabs?
Eating it raw may upset your stomach, but it is okay if you cook it.
Even when living in the forest, it was treated as a snack. Even roasted cockroaches got better after eating them.
‘A delicacy.’
Ice cream and candy have a strong sweet taste, but what can I say about insects? It boasted a mysterious taste along with a crunchy texture.
It’s quite addictive, so I tend to grab a few every time I enter the forest. It’s still the same now.
However, my mouth still feels stuffy. Therefore, ice cream is the optimal snack.
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
But what is this? I met someone completely unexpected near the dog hole.
She probably didn’t know that she and I would meet here, but she blinked her golden eyes and then smiled happily.
“Shivar?”
“Ellie?”
It was Ellie. It was hard to see her face recently because she was busy studying.
As soon as she saw me, she came up to me with a smile so bright that it made me want the sun to go away.
Dawn, who was ahead, grabbed my pants and hid behind me when a stranger appeared. I’m quite shy.
“Wow… That sister is pretty too.”
Isn’t it? Is it just because I’m embarrassed?
While I was laughing to myself, Ellie came up to her nose.
Her subtle yet cool herbal scent is her unique body odor.
Also, there is a potion pouch that is always beautiful. The urge to hug him was already rising.
“What’s going on here? Who is this kid again?”
“It’s Dawn. The instructor’s son.”
“The instructor’s son?”
Ellie looked at Dawn with a puzzled expression. Dawn flinched even more as soon as she met her gaze.
Ellie is a non-combat worker, so even if I tell you her name, you won’t know it. She said only that she was the instructor’s son.
Well, honestly, it doesn’t really matter to her. She probably thinks he’s just a cute little kid.
“Hello. What is your name?”
Ellie slightly bent her waist and brought her and Dawn to eye level. Dawn hesitated, just like Jane, and then quietly opened her mouth.
“······Dun. I am Dawn.”
“Hi, Dawn. My name is Ellie. How old are you?”
“5 Years old.”
“It’s the same as Sivar.”
“······Huh?”
Wait a minute. I’m 5 years old?
When I looked at Ellie with an absurd expression, she just laughed.
It looks like it was meant as a joke, but I don’t know why, but it doesn’t seem like a joke. Especially when I see how they usually treat me like a child.
“But why did you come into the forest? Entry here is probably prohibited.”
“I came through the dog hole.”
“A dog hole? Is there a dog hole in front of here?”
“Yes.”
“It’s amazing. I came there too.”
I guess I found a dog hole while I was in the forest. But I’m a little curious as to how I found it.
However, through the conversation between the two people, I quickly realized that the question did not last long.
“How did you find your sister?”
“A cute squirrel found it.”
“Squirrel?”
It looks like Porori found it. He was a guy who readily listened to Ellie’s requests.
But the danger is no different. Maybe there is a Porori near here.
I’m going back to the academy soon anyway, so it probably doesn’t mean much. I think it would be better to leave that hole alone for a while.
“My sister is going back now, but Dawn and Sivar are going back too, right?”
“Yes. I’m going to eat ice cream.”
“Then let’s eat together, sister. My sister was also bored.”
“Okay.”
Somehow, the three of us ended up going back together. It didn’t take long since the dog hole was just a stone’s throw away.
However, an interesting situation occurred here. Even though Dawn is the smallest child, Ellie is a problem.
“Keuung······! Iek······!”
“··· ···”
Maybe it was because of her big breasts, but she had a hard time just getting through the dog hole.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have passed first and pulled his arm, but I never thought about it.
But somehow, we passed and it was over. Her clothes are a little dirty, but she doesn’t seem to care.
“What did you do in the forest? I gathered herbs.”
“I caught a scarab.”
“Scarab?”
“Yes.”
“Well, back in the day, I used to catch bugs and play. Sometimes I even roasted them and ate them.”
We talked about various things while buying ice cream. Of course I like chocolate ice cream.
Dawn was plain vanilla and Ellie was strawberry. After she bought the ice cream, she sat down on the bench and rested.
“But sister.”
“Huh? Do you have something to say?”
“Why are your breasts so big?”
I was eating well when Dawn suddenly asked me a question. No matter how childish it may be, it is a truly embarrassing question.
Ellie looked a little embarrassed, and then she asked carefully.
“Why do you ask that?”
“All girls are big. Mom and Jane are the same. Out of all of them, my sister is the tallest.”
It seems to have been pure curiosity. It’s understandable since you’re at an age where you don’t know anything.
In particular, since Ellie was unique, she would have stood out even more. Even if she cares, she can’t help but stare.
Did she know Dawn’s innocence? Ellie thought for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders and answered.
“I don’t know that either. Is it because I ate well and slept well that it became like this? Oh, sometimes I ate insects or something in the mountains. I also drank a lot of milk.”
“Ugh. Like Sivar?”
“Yes. Would you like to try it later?”
“I don’t like it. Scarabs are my friends. I don’t eat them.”
Dawn said and poured all of her ice cream into her mouth. She then went down the bench and then she ran off somewhere.
She has to follow him, but this is inside the academy. Not only is there no reason for them to go missing, just detecting them as a presence is enough.
I moved my hips little by little as Dawn’s presence between Ellie disappeared. Coincidentally, Ellie did the same thing as me.
“Shivar.”
“Yes.”
“Do you want to lie down?”
As soon as Ellie suggested she lie down. The feel of her soft thighs reached my head.
Ellie smiled at my pampering and patted her head. She thought about it all the time, but her mind suddenly became peaceful.
I am sensitive, if only because of my wild instincts. They react quickly to even the slightest sound and become alert when someone approaches from behind.
But it would be a different story if Ellie hugged her with open arms or gave her a pillow on her lap like this. I just wanted to close my eyes.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
“Yes.”
“Shivar is really a kid. That’s why he’s so cute.”
Ellie said that and gently touched my cheek. I burst into laughter without realizing it.
I opened my closed eyes and looked up. But a huge mound blocked my view.
Even if I somehow got her face out, I couldn’t see Ellie’s face. This too is a problem in its own way.
‘I’m falling asleep easily…’
So I stayed still and my eyes slowly closed. Thanks to the unique herbal scent, you may feel like you are in the forest.
More than anything, Ellie was stroking her head, which made her mentally calm. What would happen if I closed my eyes and slept like this?
“Are you tired? If you’re tired, you can sleep for a while.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes. If something happens…”
Ellie stopped mid-sentence. Judging from her presence, it seems like she has turned her gaze somewhere.
At the same time, I heard a rumbling sound in my ears. Feeling that something was unusual, she slowly stood up.
-Hey! Get down from there! Dangerous!
-Someone please bring that kid down!
It’s Dawn. As soon as I heard the sound in my ear, I ran straight away.
Ellie is coming with you from behind! She shouted, but Dawn comes first. What did he do again?
I eventually headed to the place where I heard the sound, and it was in the center of the square. It is not a monument, but a place where the ‘Stone Statue of the Hero’ is located.
If the monument is located in the plaza outside, the warrior’s stone statue is located in the center of the main building.
Because it is vacation, you cannot enter the main building unless you are a student, but it is okay to walk around the outside.
“Hey! We’ve arrived!”
“··· ···”
It wasn’t long before Dawn’s location was identified. In that short period of time, he was on top of a large stone statue.
A stone statue modeled after a warrior holding his sword high. And he rode on the warrior’s neck like he rode Dawn’s horse.
‘······This is why it’s dangerous if a child is quiet.’
For some reason, it seemed like adults were letting children wear flip-flop shoes. There is nothing like that here.
I made my way through the noisy crowd and headed toward the statue. Originally, stone statues were one of the structures that you should not approach.
The moment you get close, security comes and stops you. However, since Dawn is a child, she seems to have let down her guard for a moment.
“Wait! There is no access here…!”
“Just that kid.”
Sorry. I’ll hurry up and take you there.
After pushing the guard away, I started climbing the statue.
Because the statue was larger than expected, it took a bit of time to climb up, but it was okay.
Eventually, as I reached the neck area, I was able to face Dawn. Maybe it’s because I’m a child, but I’m not afraid.
“Huh? You’re here too? It’s really high up here!”
“Yes. It’s high.”
So, come down quickly. Sooner or later, I will climb to a higher place than here.
I muttered to myself and grabbed Dawn’s clothes. Because my hands were so big, I was able to grab him with one hand.
It was good up to this point, but there was something I didn’t expect. That’s none other than the child’s anomaly.
As soon as I grabbed the clothes, Dawn started struggling as if telling me to put them down. It was already difficult to maintain balance, so I had no choice but to stumble.
Slippery-
“Huh?”
“Ah.”
In the end, it fell from the top of my neck. As soon as I saw Dawn slip, I braced my legs.
Afterwards, he ran as if running away and grabbed Dawn with one arm. My other hand grabbed the warrior’s neck to prevent him from falling.
To be exact, it is a form of wrapping one’s arms around the warrior’s neck as if doing a headlock. I can go down slowly like this…
Kwasik!
“Huh?”
But how did this happen? The warrior’s neck was literally broken.
Even though the academy has been in good condition ever since its establishment, the passage of time cannot be stopped.
I fell straight down with the hero’s head under my arm. First, I turned Dawn’s body around and held her inside so that he wouldn’t get hurt.
The head of a hero? I already threw that thing on the floor. What matters now is Dawn’s safety.
Cow!
I felt a huge shock to my back. Because we had prepared in advance, there was not much damage.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, yes…”
Dawn also looked dumbfounded, probably surprised for a moment. I carefully released the arms that were hugging Dawn.
Then I glanced to the side and saw that there were pieces of stone that had been shattered. Of course, it is the face of a warrior’s stone statue.
“Shivar! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes. I’m fine…”
As I heard Ellie’s concern, I shifted my gaze towards the statue.
The top of the hero’s head is completely destroyed. It disappeared as if some kind of evil had been inflicted.
‘Should I call this fortunate…?’
I somehow managed to remove the devil’s magic circle.
The magic circle was the most controversial among users.
