167. Swimsuit Festival (8)
“······Mo, a monster wave!? W, here in Haeundae?”
Shin Se-hee asked back with a puzzled face.
“Yes, I will.”
I answered in a calm voice.
“Wow, what is that all of a sudden…? Oh, no, that’s not the case! Then there is no time to stay here like this! “I have no preparations right now!”
Shin Se-hee suddenly stood up with a thoughtful expression on her face.
“Huh? “What should I do?”
“If you knew in advance that a monster wave was coming, you should have quickly requested cooperation from the Hunter Management Bureau, ordered the evacuation of civilians, and requested support from the Academy…”
Suddenly, Shin Se-hee turned her head and opened her mouth.
“Jin Yu-ha, is it difficult for everyone to cooperate right now?”
I nodded.
As expected, it is Shin Se-hee.
She immediately deduced the current situation accurately without any detailed explanation.
“Yes, we can evacuate civilians right away, but requesting assistance will be difficult. “The Hunter Management Bureau and the Academy are trying to settle matters in Japan, so they don’t have the capacity to support us.”
“Ha, I see…”
Shin Se-hee regained her composure in an instant and fell into deep thought.
“Rover. Couldn’t you have told us that in advance? “I’m honestly embarrassed to hear that something happened so suddenly without any preparation.”
Kang Do-hee blurted out.
‘Umm, it’s not honey, it’s Yellowy? Well, now is not the time to yell at each other by name. ‘Should I just move on?’
Thinking like that, I spit out the excuse I had prepared in advance.
I noticed the monster wave like this in the actual game, so there was no problem.
“Kang Do-hee, can’t you feel it?”
“······What does that mean?”
“Close your eyes and concentrate. A powerful mana wave is spreading right now.”
At my words, Kang Do-hee closed her eyes. Then her eyes opened wide.
Currently, an enormous amount of mana was floating in the air.
And the other party members also looked bewildered as if they had finally noticed.

“Since when on earth did this happen!”
“Just now.”
Then Kang Do-hee said, She did and opened her mouth.
“······Did you notice it a little while ago too? “I’m sorry for questioning you.”
Kang Do-hee scratched his cheek embarrassedly.
“Yes, it’s okay.”
‘Well, actually, I knew it in advance.’
Honestly, if we had just tried, it would have been possible to prepare for the situation in advance in this case.
Share the incident with party members in advance and ask for help here and there.
You may be suspicious as to how you were able to detect a monster wave without any foreshadowing, but well, it’s past time to worry about that. Anyway, the Utopia party members will trust me and follow me.
And the teacher who covers my words and believes me,
If I had asked Chairman Lina to help me with a suitable excuse, I would have been able to take action in advance.
However, there was a reason why I kept this event a secret from the party members and everyone else.
I had no choice but to be cautious as I experienced the butterfly effect.
A demon infestation that occurred not long ago.
This was due to a shocking incident in which the enemy demons of the mid-to-late chapters suddenly appeared in the current chapter, which was only in the early to mid-length chapters.
Fortunately, the demon that appeared at that time was not that great, Yeon Woo-jin, and thanks to the support of Lim Ga-eul’s dark magic stone, I was able to get through it easily.
I think that was lucky.
If it had been a demon other than Yeon Woo-jin, and if Lim Ga-eul had not awakened the black magic stone,
When he thinks about what would have happened, his heart still sinks.
Of course, the results achieved through the butterfly effect at that time were not small, but that did not mean I wanted to take such uncertain risks every time.
‘Especially because this incident was an event-type incident that did not cause much damage in the original game.’
A light incident that can be resolved without any damage if the user is good at it.
My original intention was that I did not want to cause a butterfly effect even in event-like events like this, even if it was in the main story where significant damage would occur later.
Shin Se-hee, who was thinking deeply, asked with a serious face.
“So where is the epicenter of the monster wave? It would be nice to be able to go there in advance and take action… “Is it impossible to be specific?”
“No, I still know that, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“Yes? “What do you mean by that?”
“Over there, it’s in the sea.”
Let me point to the sea and say.
“Uh, under the sea!?”
“Yes, the gate exploded in the sea. So we can’t attack the dungeon itself or block the entrance.”
“······That means.”
The faces of the party members turned dark, as if they sensed a bad future ahead.
“Yes, beating all the monsters at the gate until they die. “There is no other way.”
“······For some reason, it’s been a while since I came here to have fun, but when I come out with you, it always ends up like this.”
Yuri Lee let out a helpless laugh and took out a shield from her subspace tattoo.
“Hmm, it’s a battle where you kill and kill monsters until the enemies fall. “It would be more fun than playing with water in the ocean.”
Kang Do-hee actually raised the corners of his mouth and expressed his expectations.
At that time, Ga-eul Lim took a deep breath as if she had suddenly remembered something.
“Hey, junior! What do we do? The weapons we always carry are in subspace, but we left all our clothes in the locker room! Well, we have to go right now, right? If this happens, I have to fight in a swimsuit!? If you keep doing this and end up with a strange nickname like a pervert and a black man…!”
Lim Ga-eul said with a very tearful expression.
‘That’s a good thing.’
Beautiful girls catch monsters wearing swimsuits instead of the clothes they usually wear. Isn’t that the beauty of a swimsuit festival?
“······I barely even brought a bow.”
After Sofia whined for the last time, I clapped my hands to get her attention.
“Well, we have to move right now. “I’ll just briefly brief you on the operation.”
Then the grumbling party members nodded with trusting faces.

Meanwhile, preparations for the Haeundae Beach Festival are in full swing.
There was shouting here and there and staff preparing the scene were busy going back and forth.
“There! Light!! You took the wrong direction! Shine in the center! No! “You broke it too much!!!”
“S-sorry!!!!”
“Did you check today’s lineup schedule again!?”
“Yes yes! Well, that means one person may be a little late…”
“Hey! What if you say that now? Hey, who is that?”
“It’s Woo Jae-hyuk!”
“Woo Jae-hyuk? Is that the ice boy or something?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Mr. Ha, you bastard. “Hunter is a singer who suffers from celebrity disease and has a heavy shoulder.”
“Well, uh, what should we do…?”
“What can I do? What can I do! First of all, keep calling and urging! If you still can’t do it, you should ask the person in front of you to take a little more time. Mr. Erai.”
Among them, Seo Ayun, the woman in charge of this festival, took off her glasses and pressed her eyelids as if she were tired.
She spoke in a nervous voice to her subordinate next to her.
“Ha, that’s all, have you finished setting up the VIP seats?”
“······Yes. “As you said, I put as much effort into setting it up as possible.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, but will he come to a place like this?”
Her subordinate asked her if it was necessary to do this.
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think he would come to a place like this.
But I couldn’t understand why they had gone to this length by squeezing out an already insufficient budget.
Then Ayun snorted her laughter.
“Would you like to come? That Demon Lord. “He already has a lot of work to do, so he wouldn’t just come to a place like this.”
“······Then why?”
“Well, basically, there is a noise marketing effect of sending an invitation to Maje. If something goes wrong at our festival, won’t that Maje take care of you one more time? “What if this is where the invitation was sent?”
“······Ah.”
At her words, her subordinates looked at her with new eyes.
As expected, he is a person who has become a big name in both the broadcasting and stage industries at the age of only 30.
I felt that several circumstances were taken into consideration in one number.
“And there is also something in case the Demon Lord transfers the ticket to someone else.”
“Ah! If that Demon Lord is the one handing over the tickets, then someone who is absolutely not normal will come…!”
“Well, that’s right.”
‘Actually, it’s more of a personal thank you.’
She thought about the past for a moment and laughed, but then her expression hardened.
“Enough nonsense, now check the hologram projector, electric speaker, water cannon drone, and safety hunters one more time!”
“······Yes, yes! “I understand!”
At that time, her subordinate left for a quick inspection.
“Hey, can we talk for a moment?”
“······Who, wife, Cheonhwa!?”
Seo Ayun’s eyes widened at the unexpected person who suddenly appeared.
