103 – Even if dirt gets in my eyes
“Everyone listen.”
Kang Kang-soo, wearing sunglasses, caught people’s attention because the eyes that had undergone plastic surgery had not settled down yet.
“When Jo, who is next to me, brought up the story, I had the same reaction as you all. But from my point of view, as I am in charge of the finances, there is a lot to be gained from this tournament. Do you know how much money they bring us every year just to participate?”
Kang-soo slammed his hand on the table with his eyes sparkling and continued talking.
“I don’t know what kind of wind the guild leader has had, but let’s consider what we’ll take care of. I’ll give you an extra choice of one of the A-rank dungeons, as well as the others, of course.”
―!!!
“Really? I don’t want to say anything else later. Vice guild leader.”
“Wait a minute! It’s not like we have hundreds of Class A dungeons. Then it’s pretty obvious what that bastard rat will choose, right?”
“hahahahaha! Our guild is finally on the right path. Hey- Wait a minute, lady. Take good care of it until I get it.”
“These rats are real!”
Lower-level dungeons are managed exclusively by public officials, but starting with B-level dungeons, a limited number of national hunters cannot manage them.
So, a system was created that authorizes guilds of a certain size or larger to independently manage them. After the concept of dungeons = money was firmly established, who owned a lot of real dungeons became an important indicator of a guild’s reputation. It became.
It is difficult to estimate the value of a single A-level dungeon. A famous scholar described dungeons as springs that never dried up, and even strongly suggested investing in research to artificially increase the number of awakeners.
“Anyway, it’s a competition where only C-levels can participate in the age limit, and we can’t participate. Let’s grow well and produce results.”
“Do you allow mercenaries?”
Park Jin-gon asked, and Kang Yeon-soo refused with a single knife.
“No.
“Sheesh…”
Everyone looked at each other and the calculator in their heads started to run fast. Pomegranate Hwa had already called someone and assumed the appearance of entering into an engagement.
“By the way, the person next to me is also going out.”
―!!
In the midst of that strange tension, Kang Kang-soo made another explosive statement.
“Where is that!!”
“Oh really. Don’t get involved in kids fights.”
“No, I’m not fighting, so why? And this isn’t a civil war. Don’t forget that the purpose is to take other guild’s dungeons and increase their reputation.”
“However!”
“No way, the deputy guild leader Hwaryeoni?”
“Oh? How did you know?”
“Ah! Are you kidding me?!”
“Pu-huh- don’t get excited. Of course I’m kidding. Don’t mind me because I have a kid I’ve been watching.”
What?
“If the fire lily touches it, it really sets it on fire…”
When the name of her favorite disciple came out of the mouth of others, Pomegranate Flower aroused her magical energy, and her strong energy made others’ faces briefly tense.
Hmmm-
There were still other topics piled up, but it didn’t look like it would be a proper meeting, so the lecturer knocked on the conference table and announced the end of the emergency call meeting.
“Anyway, since that was the decision, I hope you follow along. Above all.”
“……”
In the first place, the two guild leaders were dissatisfied with why they were called out as they were going to make their own decisions, but the hidden dragons of the White Knights Guild, hidden behind two extremely brilliant stars, had a plan already running in their heads to use this time as an opportunity to leap again.
Everyone left except for Kang Kang and Jo Ki.
“Is that okay?”
“Should I say thank you?”
“I don’t need it. Just give me Yeon-hee.”
“……”
Jo Ki-man never asked before, but now he asked something he had always been curious about.
“Why does Lee Yeon-hee care so much?”
“Yeonhee? Pretty and cute, right? Her cheeks are white and chubby like glutinous rice cakes.”
“……”
“Don’t mind. Weren’t we supposed to disregard each other in the first place?”
“I did.”
“Hey!”
Kang Kang-soo passed by the table where people had left, and suddenly moved outside, leaving only the flag.
Tsk-
“How can that b*tch be equally unlucky every episode?”
Jogiman was very curious about that.

The day we had an after party.
Yeonhee said let’s use all the summoning scrolls she had, but as soon as she got out of the shower, she stretched out in my arms.
‘Oh! I’m sure it wasn’t cut anywhere?’
I gently held her in her arms as if she was about to fall down and checked for any injuries.

And Yeon-hee slept until noon the next day.
So far, I’ve only trained by creating fireballs and reshaping them, or wielding a club.
‘Why is this so interesting?’
After I was able to embody the fireball, albeit clumsily, I was interested in magic, and my body itched to try using the fireball quickly. I haven’t made any progress in implementing the rock yet, but I wondered if I could get a feel for it when I saw Joo-ah Bae operate it.
‘Ah, I’ll have to try that.’
Juljuljul-
I tried pouring water from a kettle on my body.
‘Irmana’s Blessing! Please!’
– Due to the creation of an artificial environment, only 50% of the effect of the blessing is displayed.
– All stats +10
‘You’re sick. It just needed to be wet. Why are you making such detailed judgments? If I keep doing this, will I be upset?’
However, when I tried it with normal tap water, it was confirmed that even that did not apply. It seemed that the water was filled with Irmana’s energy.
······
‘Thank you. Lord Irmana…’
I politely bowed my head toward the teapot and expressed my gratitude. It was the first sincere thanks, not the mouth-watering words he used to raise while doing Irmana’s quest.
After that, I did various experiments. I learned that I didn’t have to pour water on it.
Even if you soak your cloak in Irmana’s lake water and wipe your body for a certain amount of time, the 50% effect will be applied.
– Irmana’s blessing is being applied incompletely.
‘Kheuhuh- it can be done.’
– You have to raise your stats by performing tricks to bring out your true strength―
Again, fragments of memory flashed past, but this time I had something to say.
‘I just need to become stronger, whether it’s my leftovers or whatever. Something works, something doesn’t work, where are you, mister?’
By the time the vaguely benevolent-faced man had left, Yeon-hee staggered out into the living room.
“Ahh!”
She arched her back and stretched out greatly, and the picturesque body lines revealed through it caught my eye.
I was staring at him as if possessed, and then I suddenly remembered some of the conversations we had at the drinking party yesterday.
“From what I’ve seen, that Hyun Yi-hwan seems to be interested in Yeon-hee, right?”
“What?! On what basis?!”
“That’s just how I feel.”
‘Hyun Yi-hwan… Hyun Yi-hwan…’
As I came up with the keyword, the forgotten memories began to line up in my head again.
‘I haven’t seen it go up to the S rank, but I remember that it was that kind of lumber. Of course, not as much as my older brother.’
Brothers Hyun Il-hwan and Hyun Yi-hwan, who enjoyed popularity comparable to idols.
‘That’s enough for Yeon-hee’s partner…’
Looking at the current situation, others would say that Yeon-hee’s partner is full of energy.
‘No!! I’m too young now! After a bit more stuff is done… Well…’
Is this the same emotion a father feels when marrying off his daughter? I finally understood what it was like to want to refuse even if it got into the dirt in my eyes.
After…
When I thought that Yeon-hee was starting a family with someone, the tension started to drop rapidly. To the point where I feel like an idiot for being happy alone yesterday.
‘I can’t help it… It’s something I’ll have to go through someday.’
“Huh?”
‘Surprised…’
Yeon-hee comes to my nose and looks up at me with eyes like sapphires.
‘It must be different when the day is bright. Will my face be okay?’
As soon as I got home last night, I checked the mirror and was really scared. Because my reflection in the mirror was the devil itself. I could understand why Jinkyung described me to such an extent.
From then on, it was to the point where I lowered my head because I somehow kept my face straight.
“Hmm? Why do you keep trying to cover your face? Hey-don’t do that-“
As I covered her mouth with her hand, she struggled to forcefully lower her hand.
“Ah really. It’s because it’s okay.”
Nod…
‘My taste is so eccentric, even this guy.’
I nodded her head and pulled her arm a little further back, putting her away from me.
“Huh…”
She carefully ran her finger over the thorns that had sprouted from my body and said.
“Isn’t this inconvenient?”
Nod-
“Still, I think it will be useful when fighting?”
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
I stared blankly at Yeon-hee, who was seriously thinking about what to do with this.
She also stared at me and raised her index finger as if she remembered something.
“I’ll just wash up and leave! After that, let’s solve the ‘brown summon scroll’ together!”
Nodding-
She went into the bathroom and started taking a shower.
‘Oh! Why is this so hard?’
However, it didn’t seem like it was a material that could be done with one’s hands.
At this point, I sat on the floor and looked at the thorns growing on my arm, trying to raise my magic power and senses.
‘Be blunt… Be blunt… Please, you bastard. Let me at least do some hugging, ugh!’
‘Ohh?’
For a moment, the thorns trembled and showed signs of changing something, but that was it. However, seeing some potential, I decided to add this part to my training list as well.
‘If I can get rid of the thorns… I can also make them grow, right?’
It reminded me of a movie hero with sharp claws sprouting from the back of his hand.
‘If I can suddenly reveal my means of attack in that way, I will be able to inflict a sufficiently threatening attack on my opponent.’
It seemed like it would be good to use as a variable in battle.
I felt like I was becoming something grotesque as time went by, but I was born as a skeleton soldier in the first place. It couldn’t get any worse.
After a while, Yeonhee came out with her hair slightly wet, revealing her flushed cheeks.
Since she lives in a place where the heating is better than when she lived in a studio, her bottoms were changed into dolphin pants. A stimulating scene that would move a normal man greatly.
However, since I became a skeleton, my emotions have faded a bit, so rather than such low desires, I just saw her as beautiful.
