89 – I can’t compete
“Your skills have deteriorated.”
“Is that the sound again?”
As soon as Yuri saw me, she said that.
I had heard a similar story from Hye-na before.
If there is a difference, is it that unlike Hye-na, Yuri has an extremely serious face?
It seems that I felt something after watching the confrontation between me and Noh Kyung-woo last time.
‘No, but I can’t help it. That’s my original skill, and Yuri is a reincarnated person.’
To be honest, I’m not the type that excels as a warrior.
Rather, attacking opponents with given information and skills,
He is a player close to a kind of cheat.
Besides, I didn’t even use the skill in the last match.
My main focus is ‘comment search’ and ‘metafiction’.
Neither was a direct combat skill.
Do you feel like the battle is decided before you even fight?
It’s thanks to that trait that I’ve been able to defeat strong enemies so far.
The chemistry was amazingly good, or
Because I had the opportunity to temporarily draw out power beyond my limits.
To put it bluntly, my actual skills are lacking compared to my performance.
It only feels strong because it can overwhelm ordinary people with just stats.
From the point of view of a true master, the bottom will be clearly visible.
‘Besides, I broke up with Yuri at the hotel of destruction.’
The me that Yuri remembers was the me who destroyed the building by wielding the ‘Mountain God’s Blow’ like a flat blow.
Not to mention, Yuri is a better swordsman than anyone else.
From her point of view, the previous couple’s match was, um… To be honest, there’s nothing to say even if it looked below the level.
Well, I can make an excuse that I wasn’t strong enough.
“done. From now on, you can fight and find the persimmon again.”
“uh? me and you?”
“…… Sparring with a guy like that. Are you saying you can’t do it with me?”
“No, I didn’t say that.”
I was a bit nervous, so I quickly answered.
That was the reason Yuri and I suddenly had a sparring match.
Even in Dalian, winning or losing is not as important as the last time.
Rather, it feels like I am learning from Yuri unilaterally.
Is it because he was a knight in his previous life?
Yuri seemed familiar with this type of sparring.
In particular, the occasional advice was very helpful.
“When your opponent is stronger than you, consciously take one more step. I get scared without even realizing it, so I step away a little bit.”
“like this?”
Just as Yuri said, I took a step forward.
Then, the distance with Yuri became so close that they almost touched the tip of their noses.
Even though I must have been sweating while moving.
For some reason, a sweet smell spread.
“……Don’t stick that close.”
Yuri slightly blushed and pushed my chest.
Embarrassed for nothing, we brandished our weapons in silence.
In fact, when it comes to swordsmanship, I’m no match for Yuri.
No, there is no need to limit it to swordsmanship.
Even in terms of pure combat power, I don’t think I’ll beat Yuri.
So when I said this, Yuri’s answer was unexpected.
“I can’t say for sure if I will win.”
“uh? yes?”
“Your objective skills are far behind mine. It’s true. But I can’t come up with the image of winning against you either.”
“Hoo.”
As of right now, I don’t know.
Maybe it’s a feeling that only masters can feel.
Before we knew it, we were violently clashing our weapons against each other.
For me, just following the speed and irregular movements of the sword that Yuri wields is training.
“If I fight you, 99 times out of 100 I will win. But no one knows if that one will be the last fight or the first fight.”
It seems that Yuri was valuing me higher than I thought.
At least I’ve never seen Yuri give such a compliment, even if it’s empty words.
Anyway, we continued sparring for a while.
That’s how we exchanged opinions with each other and kept fighting.
Suddenly, both of us were sweating.
“Whoa! Shall we rest here for a while?”
“I will.”
Yuri also wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Seeing that, I realized that I had grown up.
What if it was right after meeting Yuri in the past?
No matter how long they fought, Yuri wouldn’t have shed a single drop of sweat.
‘Because I couldn’t resist once and was defeated.’
Of course, I do not intend to be satisfied that I have grown more than before.
More than just me getting stronger, the boss monsters that appear are also getting stronger.
“How strong is this boss?”
I thought about it and asked.
The last time I saw it, Yuri and ‘Lancelot’ were fighting almost equally.
But that’s just what I thought.
Yuri, who had fought in person, might have felt quite differently.
Yuri frowned for a moment, then carefully opened her mouth.
“more than I.”
Looking at his expression, he seems to be quite proud of himself even as he speaks.
Still, in the end, it was advantageous to give an honest answer.
“He even dared to look at me while fighting. I’ve never been treated like that by my seniors. It was a disgraceful match.”
“You saw it?”
“Rather than watching, it felt like exploring. Honestly, if you hadn’t intervened, I don’t know what would have happened.”
He’s a boss to the point where Yuri admits with his own mouth that he’s ‘stronger than me’.
How did you attack that in the original work?
‘……Could this also come out if I search for it?’
Time passed quite a bit, and now I can write a comment search.
I even felt a little curious and turned on the skill.
[Use the skill, ‘Explore Comments’!]
[100 coins are consumed as a consumption cost.]
[Do you agree?]
“agreement.”
[Used skill ‘comment search’!]
[The keyword you entered is ‘Lancelot’.]
[Currently, there are 3 comment lists that can be viewed.]
[Please select one comment you would like to see.]
1. The most recommended comment in episode 81
2. The comment with the most objections in episode 86
3. The most recommended comment in episode 92
After thinking about it for a while, I chose number 3.
As expected, the most recommended, and the late comments are the best.
[You selected comment number 3.]
[The contents of comment No. 3 are as follows.]
[Content: Wow, Lancelot is the coolest boss ever. Admit this. He is a true knight of pure love.]
[Likes: 57, Dislikes: 0]
‘……The information that is not very helpful for the strategy came out.’
However, it seems clear that ‘Lancelot’ is a great boss.
If the boss monster is praised by readers.
It must have been a tremendous performance.
Maybe our party is much stronger than the original.
It means that it is an opponent that needs to be properly prepared and faced.
‘I wonder if it’ll be harvested just because I’m not vigilant.’
Besides, he is a pure love knight.
Is there a woman I love?
Perhaps, we should keep in mind the possibility of additional boss monsters besides ‘Lancelot’.
‘Lancelot appears as an adulterous man in the legend of King Arthur.’
Lancelot is famous as a knight of the lake.
He is also famous for running away with King Arthur’s wife, Guinevere.
Running around with the king’s wife.
It’s a ridiculous story even by today’s standards, but it’s a legend anyway.
“……I need to train more.”
Yuri didn’t take a break for a while, but she jumped up.
When I thought of Lancelot, I must have felt impatient again.
“Don’t take it too seriously. Lancelot is a famous knight from the beginning.”
“Well? Do you know anything about him?”
“Don’t you know the legend of King Arthur?”
“…I don’t know.”
Is there no story of King Arthur in the world where Yuri lives?
I briefly explained about King Arthur and Lancelot.
“That’s an interesting story,”
“Yeah, it’s because I come out as the strongest knight who never loses even to the legends. It’s not strange if you can’t win.”
“…… Our knights have never lost. ……Except for the final fight.”
Oh dear.
I was going to tell you that it’s okay, but on the contrary, did I touch the reverse?
Yuuri’s expression darkened slightly.
Although Yuri is always more calm than me.
When it comes to the story of the old knights, it tends to come out like a child.
‘Well, even that part is cute.’
Anyway, it seems like it will be hard to dry it when I see it like living.
Even if I still want to rest, I have no choice but to hang out with them.
That was when we took up arms again.
“Oh, you are here!”
The moment I turned my head at the sudden voice.
Yuri’s eyes and mine opened wide at the same time.
A robot was walking there.
‘……Yogurt machine?’
I remember seeing it once in an internet meme a long time ago.
I wonder if the yogurt carts that yogurt ladies used to ride will be transformed into robots in the future.
And it was now coming true in front of my eyes.
Not a transformer of any kind.
Even though I said anything was possible in destruction.
I never thought I would be able to intuit a walking yogurt robot.
“Why are you both like that?”
Yoo Eun-sol, who was riding there casually, asked.
Busan, Mecca, high school girl, ugh, the hair…!
“Awesome. Are you going to knock down zombies with that big steel arm?”
On the other hand, Yuri didn’t seem so shocked.
Perhaps, because he is a reincarnated person, he may just think that a civilization he did not know about has sprung up again.
Even from the point of view of modern people, it is a very sci-fi scene.
“Yep! As long as I’m on it, this robot can move as I please! I can do battles as well as chores!”
“Can’t you control other people?”
“It only reacts to me.”
Anyway, it was a great ability.
it’s a robot In a sense, it is a man’s romance.
……If I had this kind of ability, I would have fought more comfortably.
My ‘Sanshin’s baseball bat’ looks shabby today.
“So what happened? It looks like he was looking for us.”
“Oh right! I’m going to tell you this first!”
I received the box given to me by Yogurt Robot…no, Eunsol Yoo.
……Red ginseng candy?
What is this, a snack that goes beyond this old man and smells like a grandmother?
“Why is this all of a sudden…?”
“I told you not to tell me because it’s a secret. In this case, it is a sign of apology from my older brother.”
“It’s a secret, can I tell you?”
“Because I’m the type who can’t lie again.”
I don’t think lying has anything to do with it.
Maybe he just wanted to eat the taffy.
“Kyun-kyu oppa is Mina’s older sister, there is no case, even though he is a scumbag. I am not a bad person.”
“Does what you just said sound like a bad enough person?”
“sorry. Because I can’t lie.”
……They’re on good terms, right?
right?
Just looking at what you’re talking about, it seems like you’re not getting along with each other.
I want to believe that I won’t blow away my allies with those huge fists.
“Anyway, I’ll eat well. Say thank you.”
Anyway, isn’t it a gift that I sent while feeling sorry in my own way?
Even if I suspected that Sense might have come from the Middle Ages, I decided to accept it with gratitude.
“More than that, Mina unnie called me that she had something to tell me. Is it okay?”
“Oh yeah? Then let’s go.”
We’re not really Mina’s subordinates like the others.
However, since I was living here for the time being, I decided to listen to what Mina had to say.
‘It’s also an ally.’
Yuri and I put our weapons at the same time and turned around.
Yoo Eun-sol seemed a little taken aback as she added.
“Ah, not Yuri unnie… only Jihoon oppa… I asked… but Mina unnie… … .”
Not glass, just me?
At the slightly incomprehensible words, Yuri and I blinked our eyes again.
