Episode 108. They once again (modified)
108. they once again.
Television reported that the missing citizens and hunters were found one after another. The news of the potion, which had been circulating boasting excellent efficacy, was a reality that disappeared.
“… shit.”
The light brown pupil wiggled to and fro. As soon as I heard the call, I ran right away, but I missed it right in front of my eyes.
Of course, it was the same for everyone, not just Kang Ga-young. A little blood trickled down between her bitten lips.
“ha? What’s happening. That guy is real. I brought a bunch of side dishes that I said was delicious last time.”
Sujeong Lee muttered as if frustrated. When she, too, went to her hometown for a while, a situation she couldn’t even laugh at had unfolded.
Lee Soo-jung’s hair, which had been dyed bright red again, shone even more red when reflected in the light. Lina’s pink hair, who was next to her, fluttered softly.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone out with Seojun from the beginning… .”
Kang Ga-young’s cold gaze turned to Lina. She was also severely atrophied as she felt the cold gaze.
“Don’t do that. It’s not Lina’s fault. We all missed him right in front of our eyes.”
Han Ah-reum quickly opened her mouth and wrapped her arms around Lina. Of course, that was true, so there was no one who could say anything.
“Not only us, but everyone is looking for it, so please wait. Seo-joon will be fine.”
Yoo Chae-eun spoke as if consoling her. I haven’t heard any news yet, though.
“Can’t be tracked. say no I knew when, where, and what I was doing. Then and now, I don’t know. where you are If it happens again, if I miss it, I will.”
The various trackers and wiretapping devices in Kang Ga-young’s shaking hands were already broken. This is because it became useless immediately when transmission and reception became impossible.
“Gayoung’s sister… .”
Jeong Ye-na put her hand on Kang Ga-young’s shoulder anxiously. But her hand was immediately stopped and returned to her place.
“I.”
“… … .”
“I can’t breathe anymore.”
Kang Ga-young gasped and grabbed her head. No one could open their mouth hastily because it looked like it would collapse if you touched it even a little.
Except for one person.
“Everyone, calm down.”
Park Ha-yoon with a tired expression closed the book and went down the stairs. Their saliva was swallowed by a strange smile as if they knew something.
“no. no. Is that a lie?!”
match.
Kang Ga-young’s head turned. Park Ha-yoon looked down at her, who was in a dazed state with her cheeks pressed.
“calm down. Kang Ga-young.”
“… what? Park Ha-yoon, do you want to die?”
Park Ha-yoon’s eyes fluttered in the eyes full of life. However, Kang Ga-young had no choice but to commit murder. It was because Park Ha-yoon’s eyes were shining green.
“My brother is alive. you can bring it Do you know what I mean? It’s easier than it used to be.”
“Then tell me how!”
Park Ha-yoon’s eyes slowly closed and then opened. After taking a deep breath, he pulled something out of his pocket.
“… What is this?”
Yoo Chae-eun tilted her head and asked. Except for Han Ah-reum, everyone looked at the fragments with curious expressions.
“I’ve heard of it, but it must be the first time I’ve seen it. piece of the world. You look pretty, don’t you?”
Two pieces placed on the table. Something that has a mystical light but is not a complete form.
“So what is it?”
“Well, I don’t know either.”
Kang Ga-young gasped as if she was full of energy. Then Park Ha-yoon continued speaking as if making an excuse.
“Not yet, but you know that it plays an important role. It also has a lot of energy.”
“So what can you do with it?”
“Some recently created dungeons attract people or hunters in various ways. Just recently, I found out that you are in a different world with emotional skills.”
“where. Location is… ?”
Kang Ga-young’s fingertips trembled. Soon after, Park Ha-yoon, who was grabbed by her neck, frowned slightly.
“ha? It’s not really funny. Wait, aren’t you the only one who cares about him?!”
Lee Soo-jung, who looked at the scene, scoffed loudly. Yoo Chae-eun also made a serious expression and nodded her head. Her nails and decorations, which she also regularly cleaned, were in a state of disrepair.
“Right. It’s not just Kang Ga-young. But I also have the same heart, so please tell me, Mr. Hayun.”
Han Ah-reum’s gaze turns to Park Ha-yoon. Everyone was waiting for her lips to open.
“I don’t know exactly where it is. However… .”
Park Ha-yoon pulled out a large map on the table. A world map as well as a domestic map were placed together.
“It is possible to estimate a dungeon where fragments of the world will appear. Overseas is also included.”
“… … .”
“Census or Pania’s guild would be enough, wouldn’t it? There are associations too. Make a notice to the members.”
“Sure.”
Kang Ga-young replied as if it was natural. The girls, including Yoo Chae-eun, also seemed to agree.
“And please collect the pieces of this world. As you may have guessed, there is no doubt that it is important. You can never lose it to others.”
At that moment, Kang Ga-young’s anxious expression returned to normal. It was an attitude that could be misunderstood as having anxiety symptoms.
“Then let’s all share.”
Park Ha-yoon’s red colored pencil immediately started checking. A circle is slowly drawn on the map.
Some sigh, some relieve. In the end, each dungeon to clear was decided. Their eyes were shining with a will to find them.
⁕⁕⁕
“OMG.”
It came out, but I don’t know what to do on the streets of this world. The sky was blue and it was clear that it was not high enough.
“What kind of vitality is it, it’s overflowing.”
Landscapes like fantasy illustrations. It’s like a trip to Europe. When are you going to make a plan next time? overseas travel.
You can see bustling shops and people. It was new to see the prisoners walking along the street, which I had only seen in cartoons.
Well. There are no elves either.
squeak.
oh Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten in a while. Still, I was less concerned because the imperial family received a large pocket of gold.
At first, I just checked the contents and closed it immediately. It was a thick gold coin by looking at the gold glittering.
I tied the gold pockets tightly to the inside of the shirt. It’s a bit overkill, but it’s because it’s safer to do it like a sling bag. Usually there are a lot of pickpockets in this place.
“Actually, I’m not worried.”
Even if it was stolen, I was confident that I would catch it right away. It’s because you can bind it as a ‘guardian angel’ and get it back after you fly away.
It was fun to walk around the streets. ‘Cause I’m walking around without realizing it It is a pity that the smartphone is discharged. I want to take a picture too.
Did I wander around too much? As I was looking for a restaurant, I wandered around and came to a dark alleyway.
“Where are you?”
Looks like a thug will come out. It also seems to have a strange smell.
I was just going to ask the passers-by. I couldn’t ask because it was embarrassing to look at me while smirking.
“uh. uh?”
An old gentleman in a neat suit was looking at me in front of me. He is kind, but his gaze is drawn to a somewhat strange expression.
“hello?”
He stared at me so intently that I didn’t even know he was saying hello. Then his pupils dilated astonishingly.
“Hey. Are you a nobleman?”
“no. It’s not… .”
“Well. The impression is very different. There are also places that sell them on a regular basis, but this store will appear to those who need it. Your presence will probably help. How about taking a look?”
The power of the old man was so strong that it was hard for me as a hunter to refuse. Confused, I went straight into the building he was leading.
It was like a circus or something. I think I just came in because of the gloomy and insidious atmosphere.
“How are you?”
“… How are you?”
I looked around. The fresh air and the damp atmosphere press on the skin. There were shapes of something in the surrounding iron bars.
“If you tell me how to use it, I can make a recommendation.”
Some people were, but they were monsters. No, I also saw the appearance of monsters. As if something was natural, the prisoners were also waiting in ragged clothes.
“Where are you?”
The old gentleman smiled brightly. Warmly with a skeptical expression.
“It’s a slave shop.”
Ordinary people will be surprised here. But since I’ve already been to several dungeons, I wasn’t so shocked.
The slave market is not good in modern terms. But this is a class society.
“okay.”
“You’re not very agitated.”
The old gentleman looks at me in surprise. To be honest, it’s a little shocking.
“This is a secret. I was surprised enough.”
“Ugh. Sometimes I see strange people like guests. Most of those people buy slaves in my shop. Do you have any desires?”
After he finished speaking, the old gentleman chuckled and chuckled. Could it be that they are from another world?
“I’m sorry, but when is that?”
“Well. 30 or 20 years ago? I don’t really remember.”
I nodded my head to understand. Taking one step at a time, I looked at the beings in the iron cage.
“lily!! me a little Please purchase. I can do well.”
“Me. Me!”
The sound of calling me while hitting the iron bars and those looking at me helplessly. It looked pretty worn out and poor.
I looked at the old gentleman with a strange feeling. He shrugged as if to do whatever he wanted.
“How did they get caught like this?”
“haha. It’s not illegal. They are legal slaves from war and debt, not crimes like kidnapping.”
To be honest, I didn’t really feel the need to buy a slave. This place doesn’t suit me either. As if knowing my feelings, the old gentleman twitched his lips and spat out words.
“Look. I guess you don’t know something. How about getting acquainted with a suitable slave? A slave never betrays or endangers his master. It will definitely help.”
“… … .”
“If you are active as an adventurer, you can use it as a companion. To be honest, it seems necessary. you?”
If there are guilds in this world too, and if I try to find people to subdue the ‘Demon King’, it will fail.
Healing skills in this world are great, but only saints who worship the gods use them. Therefore, it would be difficult to form a party with me, who has healing powers.
Because it’s an act of insulting God.
“… It seems like that.”
bum bum.
The slaves in the room, that is, the goods that the old gentleman was proud of, went around and thoroughly checked.
“I want to do it with them. how much is it?”
I pointed my finger at them in the cage. At the same time as my actions, the old gentleman’s expression filled with astonishment.
