Chapter 112
Chapter 22 Party Play (3)
Come to think of it, I wonder why I didn’t know.
‘The story that Kei belongs to Palao is famous.’
Because of that, at one point, a lot of people wanted to join the Palao.
Well, the difficulty of the entrance exam is quite high, so very few people pass.
In the past, it was surprising that such a thing happened because of a person named Kei.
‘I can see it myself.’
Kay’s battle was incomparable to other players.
The light that flashed in front of his eyes whenever he swung his spear was still vivid.
There was a reason why everyone was talking about Kay, Kay, in unison.
Yang Tae-ho swallowed a laugh as he saw his magic power increased by more than 20,000 in one day.
In the past, I would have been surprised by this ridiculous situation.
Now I see things that should be surprising.
Of course, I didn’t mean to take lightly what had happened to me.
Yang Tae-ho glanced at the one who was walking half a step ahead of him.
Kay’s expression as she was walking in the middle of the polluted area was so calm that she looked bored.
‘A person who doesn’t know anything about cancer would think he was out for a walk.’
It is said that the purification work is almost finished, but didn’t you deal with the 4-star evolved species a while ago?
If it were Yang Tae-ho himself, I would not have been able to let go of the tension.
Kei’s calmness like that was not new.
He was similar to now when he caught a 4-star evolved species and absorbed over 5,000 mana at once.
‘If you form a party, they’ll share it, so that’s saying that there are over 10,000 of them per wretch.’
Yang Tae-ho was stunned when he realized that fact.
It was the first time I had ever seen a monster with over 10,000 mana.
However, Kei did not show any signs of agitation.
‘Not only the way to play, but also the water to play is different.’
The amount of information Kay had was also incomparable to other players.
“So, are you saying that the upper contamination area will be opened soon?”
“Yes, it has already been agreed upon by the Seven Great Churches.”
It was amazing from the moment he explained what happened in the Kairot Kingdom.
After talking, it seems like you know more about the polluted area.
Going one step further, the relationship with the church seemed to be strong.
As proof, Kay had full knowledge of the church’s internal information that had not yet been disclosed.
What a surprise. Tae-ho Tae-ho had only a handful of experiences of meeting priests and paladins belonging to the Order.
At least when you took the entrance exam?
“Huh… … .”
In many ways, Kei was a person who deviated from Yang Tae-ho’s common sense.
To think that someone like that would make a recruitment offer to you.
“Big, big.”
I felt a little bit proud of myself.
‘It’s just that I’m full of eyes.’
All the way back to the outpost with Kei, Yang Tae-ho’s lips twitched as if they were dancing.
But it was also true that I was nervous as much as I was excited.
I’m afraid that the opportunity that came to me out of the blue will suddenly fly away.
I had a tendency to be cautious without even realizing it.
Shouldn’t we just avoid getting kicked out of the party for acting on our own without thinking?
‘I’ll have to be careful with people who don’t seem to like being asked.’
I would never do anything out of vain curiosity to dig up information.
‘The chaff sticking to the side.’
Then, someday, the day will come when you can earn money again like today.
Yang Tae-ho was not shameless enough to wish that every day would be like today.

Just trying to wait for a reward that will come like luck once or twice a year.
The spoils earned thanks to Kei inspired Yang Tae-ho.
In addition, his magic power increased enormously, so it was enough to strengthen his enthusiasm with the mindset of a new employee.
It was around the time when Yang Tae-ho was clenching his fists and making up his mind.
Outposts began to appear in the distance.
It wasn’t long before Yang Tae-ho and Kei arrived at the entrance of the outpost.
“ah.”
Shortly after entering the barrier, Kei, who stood tall, looked back at him and asked.
“Do you have any special plans afterward?”
“There is no such thing as a schedule… … .”
Literally, it was not particularly planned.
But I wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible.
That way I could dispose of the loot and take my wife to the hospital.
‘Only what I earned today, I’m still a boy even after paying for my tongue and surgery.’
This time, I really thought of dragging my wife and putting her in the hospital.
‘Are you sure you’re planning on going hunting right away?’
Should I follow Then what about the wife?
Yang Tae-ho groaned for a moment and was engulfed in thought.
Eventually, we came to the conclusion that we should at least talk about it.
‘You’re going to keep going together from now on anyway.’
He’s not the kind of person to look at, so it’d be better to be honest and ask for understanding.
“I want you to wait a few days. Actually, my family… … .”
After explaining about his wife’s illness and surgery, Kay’s expression changed strangely.
Is it because it’s hard to fit the schedule?
The moment I hurriedly opened my mouth out of anxiety.
“No, what are you asking permission for?”
When Yang Tae-ho opened his eyes, Kei let out a blank laugh.
“Do I look like a bad employer to you?”
Come to think of it, it seems that Kei said it without acknowledging it as if he pushed ahead with the hunt.
Embarrassed, Yang Tae-ho hurriedly waved his hands in response.
“That, it’s not like that, it seems like you’re hunting harder than I am… … I’m afraid the schedule is rushed… … .”
“No matter how crazy you are about hunting, your wife doesn’t hold on to having to operate?”
Fortunately or unfortunately, Kay didn’t seem to be very offended by Yang Tae-ho’s words.
“In the first place, it is difficult to move together because of church work from now on. That’s why I asked.”
“ah.”
“Well, since my older brother said he has work to do, I think we should start with our personal schedule. Character building starts then.”
Yang Tae-ho’s expression brightened at Kei’s words.
“Then I will know that I will see you in Harbon in two days. You said it was okay to move the base, right?”
“Yeah, don’t say that. I’ll be back soon.”
“I will leave the place I am staying in the chat window.”
“Thank you for that.”
“I wish your wife good health.”
Naturally, Yang Tae-ho, who had promised the next time with Kei, was about to leave in a hurry.
“however… … .”
But before he could even take a step, Kay gave a chin over his shoulder and said.
“there.”
“huh?”
“Looks like you have business with your brother.”
Yang Tae-ho frowned as he was afraid to confirm the direction Kei was pointing.
It was because he checked the approaching crowd while looking directly at himself.
“I-I… … !”
It was a phoenix party.
When I thought of the time just a few hours ago, when I was left alone among the monsters, I felt a tantrum.
At that time, the behavior of the Phoenix Party did not simply drop Tae-ho.
‘It’s the one I made as a sacrifice.’
If there’s one person left behind, the monsters won’t catch up, even to eat the corpse.
‘Life is precious, but if the tongue is a human, then he won’t touch it.’
Since he is also a human being, he wanted to investigate what happened then and let others know about their mistakes.
It would be nice to receive their sincere apologies in the process.
‘Be patient.’
It was at this point that he had just joined Kay’s party.
It didn’t seem like a good option to go ahead and cause a dispute.
If you do something wrong, you could end up hurting Kei.
People who have nothing to see anyway, just think that they stepped on sh*t and pass it on.
Yang Tae-ho snorted and turned his head with a pack.

Just in time, the phoenix’s party arrived close to them.
“Uncle, I’m glad you’re okay.”
My impression was naturally crumpled by the rather soft voice.
Pretending to be polite to the subject of leaving someone hoping to die.
The angular words almost pouted out, but I swallowed them.
Because Yang Tae-ho had already decided to completely ignore them.
“He said he stopped going, didn’t he also say he had a schedule?”
So, I tried to leave, pushing Kei.
However, the phoenix urgently blocked his way.
“Wait, wait!”
Maybe it was because of the anticipation that he stopped without pushing the phoenix away?
“I know you’re upset, but you’re still okay. Why don’t you forget about today’s work and get along again?”
Such a foolish expectation that he might have come to apologize.
“Even if the word spreads for no reason, will we or the man do anything other than gossip? Then there is nothing good for each other.”
He said that when he gets angry, he calms down, and he was right.
I was really angry, so I couldn’t be more angry.
The Phoenix party did not come to apologize to Yang Tae-ho.
‘Are you trying to cover my mouth?’
If what they did is known to the community, it will be noticed as a party of interest among mercenaries.
In that case, it would be difficult to fill the lack of people in the party now.
Even if the code name is known, it will be difficult to get into another place after disbanding that party.
That’s why I’m asking you such an outrageous request.
‘I have to do things without shame.’
Yang Tae-ho made up his mind to ignore them again and turned around.
But unfortunately, that promise was shattered in the words that followed.
“We didn’t do anything well, but we’re not ignoring it like this!”
“We were also out of our minds.”
“It was unavoidable, but please understand.”
“her!”
No matter where I looked, there was no word of apology.
He even justified his actions by saying that he couldn’t help it.
“You’re okay too, so let’s go quietly. I’ll do the right loot distribution. OK?”
“this… … !”
Tae-ho’s face turned red.
It’s because the words he spat out as if he was patronizing made him feel a sense of contempt.
To be honest, he hadn’t even thought of having something to receive from them.
It’s because Kei earned so much that it couldn’t be compared.
No matter what or how much the Phoenix gave, it would be impossible to compare it to what Kay gave.
I had no regrets about not receiving from them.
But to insult him like this, doesn’t it seem like he is living his life for material things?
Yang Tae-ho gritted his teeth and trembled.
Yang Tae-ho, who was fed up with his brazen behavior, but chose to be patient nonetheless, and pushed Kay on the shoulder again.
“They went quickly.”
At that, Kay sighed and asked back.
“You want to go? in this situation? Leaving them behind?”
Even repeating the same meaning several times as if you couldn’t believe it.
“Yeah, he must have been busy too, didn’t he? Staying here is a waste of time… … .”
“I’ll turn.”
Yang Tae-ho couldn’t finish his words and had a puzzled look on his face.
“There are things you should put up with, and there are things you shouldn’t put up with. I’d rather leave Belego’s safe than leave them alone.”
There was no time to ask what Belego’s safe was.
“Listen, you have a knack for making nonsense novel.”
It was because Kei, who had pushed his hand away, looked back at the phoenix party, bending his neck from side to side.
The impression of the phoenix crumpled.
“What is it? Don’t meddle in other people’s business without knowing anything.”
He said, glaring at Kay with a rather aggressive attitude.
“It’s someone else’s business… … .”
On the other hand, Kei seemed to be enjoying the situation.
Looking at the corners of his mouth that are getting curled up, maybe.
“If I had to ask, it wouldn’t be the rest.”
For some reason, Kei’s voice seemed to be mixed with laughter.
“Thanks to you, I had a party with this person.”
“Now what… … .”
“I would like to say thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for leaving my brother.”
Being sarcastic wasn’t something he’d done once or twice.
It was quite different from what Yang Tae-ho had seen of Kei.
I thought he was meticulous and calm.
‘What, what, why are you doing this all of a sudden?’
While Tae-ho Tae-ho was confused, the phoenix clenched its teeth and shook.
Since Kei scratched him so openly, it would have been harder not to know.
Yang Tae-ho briskly rolled his eyes between the two of them.
The atmosphere suddenly turned sharp.
Yang Tae-ho, who had been bubbling until just before that, cooled down.
Instead, he became impatient because he feared that Kei would be harmed because of him.
Yang Tae-ho was going to move with Kei even now.
But before he could step out, he suddenly heard a strange voice.
“Isn’t that Kei?”
“Right?”
“What is he doing over there?”
“K!”
In an instant, all eyes were focused on one place.
