118 – Long time no see and first time
‘I never thought something like this would be possible.’
Xiao Mei lightly clicked her tongue as she watched Jihun disappear in front of her eyes.
She made me search her surroundings, thinking it might be a short-distance movement or a skill that hides her appearance, but there was no trace of her around.
It really disappeared completely.
I don’t know how great of a skill she was hiding, but she was able to move a long distance at once.
I have never seen a player with such ability even on a large continent.
At least among the talented people she’s seen.
She said, ‘She only approached me because she wanted to know for sure what her penalty would be for murder at best. It must have been bigger than I thought.’
From the first time she ambush a man, she had a strange feeling.
A situation in which you are suddenly surrounded by many people and threatened.
Even so, in the man’s eyes, let alone bewilderment, I could feel a sense of composure.
Does that mean that the situation has passed so many dead lines that it is not embarrassing?
At least, he was different from the common human beings.
‘…Maybe he’s a pretty annoying opponent.’
Should she have taken a more cautious approach?
She never thought that she would be a person who could hide such outstanding abilities.
I thought she was, at best, an emotionally driven, stupid player, and intended to use it sparingly.
After all, her second chance won’t come soon after she missed it once.
Since this has happened to the other side, they should probably be on the alert.
Belatedly, I regretted that I had looked down on him for no reason and only increased my enemies.
“Xiao Mei! I searched the surroundings, but it seems like it will be difficult to track down!”
“Is that even though there is a murder penalty?”
“It’s quite tricky to find your way there. Of course, if you make a team and try to chase it, you can chase it…….”
“No, that’s all right. You don’t have to go that far to find it.”
It’s annoying, but it’s just a player.
He’s not the kind of person you have to chase while draining your energy.
It wasn’t a lie when I said I wanted to recruit Jihoon.
I don’t think the ‘black society’ she leads is weak, but other organizations have similar strength.
In preparation for an unexpected battle, it is necessary to protect your strength as much as possible.
It’s something an individual can do anyway.
There are more things to worry about than that.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Look to see if there are other people who haven’t joined the organization yet. If it’s okay, let’s recruit them on our side.”
“Yes! All right!”
Watching her subordinates recede from her, Xiao Mei was silently immersed in her worries.
‘If I had a clue about clearing the quest, I wouldn’t have to suffer like this.’
Most of the leader-level figures focused on clearing the quest rather than the point itself.
Of course, no one knows what the secret is yet.
****
Eunbyeol and I sat apart feeling a little awkward.
The time we spent together is not small.
In the meantime, many things have happened, and the density is high.
But seeing a woman naked right in front of her nose, or suddenly showing her own naked body to a man, we were too grown up to just pretend it was nothing.
It might have been better if there had been someone else.
Unfortunately, there are only two of us here right now.
Beep?
Pippi!
A baby rabbit tilted its head between the two of us curiously and was dragged away by the mother rabbit.
If you came in the middle and joked around, the topic would have naturally turned there.
The rabbits were only ignorant at times like this.
No, on the contrary, do you have good eyesight?
Anyway, that action made me feel more awkward.
But I can’t stay still like this.
I struggled to open my mouth.
“Oh, sorry. I couldn’t believe you were taking off your clothes.”
“Oh no! I know you didn’t do it on purpose. I was relieved that I wasn’t there, so I took off all my clothes…….”
It is said that Eunbyeol was just washing her clothes and changing her underwear.
I put it in my backpack, but I couldn’t catch the timing.
It seems that he finally found out that I was out and wiped his body lightly with water.
Eunbyeol is also a woman in her prime, so she has no choice but to be concerned about that.
I tend to be considerate of that as well.
But this time, it was force majeure.
Who knew she would come back when she was undressing.
“Th-Come to think of it, Ji-Hoon-ssi also had that kind of skill, right? I was surprised by her sudden appearance.”
“Ah, this is a new skill I got this time. It was also my first time to use it in real life.”
“In real life?”
At Eunbyeol’s words, I nodded her head and started to explain.
The death of the first people I met and a new message that came to me.
How is the situation outside right now?
In addition to the recruiting offer that I went through.
“Did you just turn it down? I don’t think we have anything to lose.”
“No, trusting anyone else here is dangerous.”
From their point of view, we are opponents who can deal with them anytime.
The chance of meeting them is low even if they return after the quest is over.
This means that it is a perfect opponent to stab in the back at the end.
Even if that’s not the case, I can’t trust those who want to use me.
“Besides, they’re going to kill the rabbits casually. Eunbyul, can you do that now?”
Pippi?!
The rabbits were startled by my words and hid behind Eunbyeol.
Seeing that, Eunbyul scratched his head.
“Ugh, I hate that. I just don’t think I could do that.”
“I agree with you.”
I wouldn’t know if I didn’t know like the first time, but now I know that these rabbits are living with their hearts and minds.
It’s just that they can’t communicate with each other, but they’re not that different from humans.
No, in terms of purity, it would be better than humans.
Since you’ve already heard about it, your dream will be wild if you kill it or something.
“However, most players will hunt rabbits casually. In the end, our actions go in the exact opposite direction from the other players…….”
“You don’t have to fight on purpose, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to hold hands.”
Of course, if you promise to protect the rabbit, you can become a good ally.
But it won’t be easy to find such a person in destruction.
It is more comfortable to think that Eunbyul and I are the only team.
“So we’d better get out of here in two days.”
“Ugh! Is that too?”
It’s not an easy road to find, and other players don’t have to chase us.
However, as long as they are being tracked, there is a very high chance they will find you.
‘No, those who are targeting me will definitely appear.’
It could be that you just need a killer like this one.
Or you could come looking for clues to clearing the quest.
Anyway, the chance that this hideout will be exposed just by our being here will increase.
It is best to avoid the rabbits before they start taking serious damage.
“Well, the other way is to clear the quest before then.”
“Quest… Even Ji-hoon hasn’t found a clue yet, right?”
“Yes, although I guess it was related to the point.”
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any good information by searching through the comments.
That’s also true, because most of the comments were plastered with ‘rabbits are cute’.
‘Well, I guess I was lucky that there were a lot of comments related to the story.’
Comment browsing tends to find information that is helpful to me somehow, but it’s not 100% accurate.
The story was twisted due to factors different from the original, or completely useless information came out.
Anyway, due to the nature of ‘reader comments’, there is no law that must match the content.
“So, until then, spend enough time with the rabbits. If we break up, we don’t know when we’ll see each other again.”
“Hmm, I knew that, but it’s a bit sad.”
Eunbyeol stroked the baby rabbit’s head with a sullen face.
The baby rabbit laughed pleasantly while receiving the cuteness without knowing why.
“Before that, I want to teach the rabbits how to cook. Rabbits don’t even seem to know how to use fire. If you teach well, you won’t have to eat roasted sweet potatoes like last time.”
Pippi?
Beep!?
The rabbits’ eyes sparkled at the word roasted sweet potato.
Anyway, I ate it once the other day, and it seems that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Roasted sweet potatoes are now completely chosen as a favorite snack by rabbits.
If we disappear, we won’t be able to eat that either, so we decided to teach them how to make a fire and how to make it in advance.
Of course, fire is quite dangerous, so I didn’t forget to handle it with care.
“I’m going to cook from now on, so prepare yourselves. Didn’t I tell you to be careful?”
The rabbits spread their shoulders and thumped their chests.
As if you were told to just talk.
The rabbits moved busily and prepared a bonfire without being told.

Anyway, since the number of rabbits was chatty, it took a considerable amount to feed just one baked sweet potato.
Still, the work wasn’t too difficult because the rabbits worked hard to help.
All you have to do is make a fire with the branches and fallen leaves you have gathered and add the sweet potatoes that you have prepared in advance.
At the sound of the crackling, the rabbits were already salivating.
Of course, we were no different.
Because the plants here are so delicious that they cannot be compared to those on Earth.
“Hmm, it’s ripening well. What if I miss this taste when I go back?”
“Should I ask for a few packs? It’s too delicious to end like this.”
“I will. It smells good.”
I suddenly heard a voice from behind and I turned around at the same time as Eunbyul.
I held a baseball bat and Eunbyeol held a pistol and pointed the weapon at me.
However, the person I spoke to was not surprised and just looked at us.
‘……A child?’
The one in front of me was a small child.
Clear eyes and white skin.
Impressive with unique hair that creates a strange illusion whether it is blue or white.
She was a girl who gave off a somewhat mysterious aura.
Maybe what you’re wearing is your school uniform?
“Huh? It’s nice to see you again, isn’t it?”
As the girl said that, a message window popped up.
[I found the main boss of the quest for the first time!]
[You will get 2000 points as a reward!]
