160 – Revision (4)
A few days later.
[A ‘Mystic Merchant’ has come to your territory to deliver an artifact!]
[Time remaining: 57 days 12 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
Hyun-woo Kim wore a strange expression upon seeing the arrival date of the Mystic Merchant.
This time, it was understandable since the notification had popped up suddenly even though Hyun-woo Kim hadn’t done anything.
‘It’s nice to meet without doing anything… but it would be better if he came a bit earlier.’
Just as Hyun-woo Kim was honestly watching the numbers go down day by day and leaving a brief impression, a knock sounded, and he turned his head.
“It’s me, my friend!”
There stood River, still with a lively smile, beaming brightly.
“What’s up, River?”
As Hyun-woo Kim asked River, who had entered the office,
“I did it! The missile!”
“…Really? Didn’t you say it would take longer than expected last time?”
“Well, that was before I started making it with Shadra. Since then, the speed has increased, and you invested a lot in the budget, right? So we could speed things up. Come quickly! I’ll show you now.”
River immediately approached Hyun-woo Kim, grabbed his arm firmly, and pulled him up with force.
And not long after arriving at the blacksmith guild’s underground,
“…Oh.”
Hyun-woo Kim couldn’t help but wear an expression of amazement at the sight of the missile, which looked remarkably similar to what he commonly knew.
“Dad’s here!?”
“Shadra.”
As soon as Hyun-woo Kim arrived, Shadra greeted him with a bright face, and Hyun-woo Kim responded to her greeting and then looked at the missile.
“Is it finished?”
“Yeah! In fact, we haven’t tested it in full size, but if it goes according to theory, it should work really well. If we invest a little more in fuel, it could even reach the Union Clan from here!”
“All the way to the United Clan?”
“Yeah! Wouldn’t the strike be precise there?”
“…You have developed more than I thought.”
Kim Hyun-woo made a bewildered expression.
It was clear that there was an expectation that the missiles would be developed to some extent, but he didn’t know that they would be able to use missiles to this extent.
‘…I thought it would only be possible to launch them a little farther.’
Kim Hyun-woo, who thought so, continued to ask.
“…So, if we load a warhead here and launch it right now, it will reach the Eastern United Clan?”
“That’s right. But in that case, the fuel- Ah, this much is needed.”
Kim Hyun-woo, who received the paper that Shadra gave him, frowned and stuck out his tongue after thinking for a while.
‘20,000 Red Gems just for fuel?’
Of course, Kim Hyun-woo’s wallet had become very solid lately, and in his current state, he wouldn’t suffer that much even if he fired a missile blindly, but 20,000 for a missile was psychologically very burdensome.
‘…But,’
That was only when thinking in terms of Red Gems being used a little more, but when thinking calmly, even 20,000 Red Gems was not that much money.
If he succeeded in launching a missile right now and the missile flew all the way to the Eastern United Clan, Kim Hyun-woo would be able to inflict great damage on the opponent without any damage.
That’s why Kim Hyun-woo, who was agonizing over it.
“Shadra.”
“Yeah?”
“How long will it take to make this fly to the Eastern United Clan? And how long will it take to make the warhead?”
He asked Shadra a question right away.
“Hmm…If you think about the total time it takes to make and fly…about a week?”
“Then make it that way, I’ll support you as much as possible.”
Kim Hyun-woo said so in response to Shadra’s answer.
####
Kim Hyun-woo, who had just returned to his office and was working after telling Shadra and River to make the missile properly,
“Phew-“
He soon let out a tired sigh and looked at the night that had become completely dark.
‘I have more to do than I thought.’
In fact, there wasn’t much to do at first, but as the territory began to operate in earnest, there was more to do.
Of course, it was because as Lartania began to be properly attracted, mercenary groups began to emerge who wanted to create their own guilds within the territory.
Was that all? Even though he was working hard on various administrative tasks, he eventually had to leave all the big things to Kim Hyun-woo, so Kim Hyun-woo had hardly had any time to rest these days.
That’s why Kim Hyun-woo, who was blankly staring at the dark night, stretched his sore body once and got up from his seat, went to the bedroom, washed up briefly, and collapsed as it was.
“Phew-“
Kim Hyun-woo exhaled lightly and closed his eyes.
However-
“Master…?”
Kim Hyun-woo opened his eyes at the voice he heard soon after.
“…Meryl?”
Kim Hyun-woo could soon see Meryl sitting on the open window.
“What’s going on all of a sudden?”
“Hmm? Oh, no, it’s not like anything major is going on…”
“Then?”
Meryl tilted her head as if she were listening closely and slightly wrapped her tail around her stomach. She then brought forward the pillow she had been holding in her other hand and spoke.
“…Can we sleep together again, after such a long time?”
Kim Hyun-woo momentarily shut his mouth and thought as Meryl asked her question while slightly covering her face with the pillow.
‘It’s true that we slept together in Arteil… but right now, it’s a bit…’
Back then, it was just a game so he didn’t think anything of it, but now, the current Kim Hyun-woo couldn’t help but think about it.
“That’s a bit…”
As Kim Hyun-woo spoke with an awkward expression, Meryl laughed sheepishly and said,
“S-sorry, master… I guess I whined too much…”
Despite her sheepish laughter, her tail was drooping and her ears were folded back.
“I’ll go to sleep then, sleep well master…!”
Even though anyone could tell she was incredibly sad, Meryl tried to maintain a cheerful voice.
“…Let’s sleep together.”
“I said no, didn’t I?”
“It’s been a long time, so it’ll be fine.”
Kim Hyun-woo had no choice but to allow her to sleep next to him, and with his permission, Meryl’s droopy ears perked up in an instant and she approached Kim Hyun-woo.
A moment later.
“♥”
Kim Hyun-woo ended up lying down with Meryl, who was hugging his right arm tightly, nuzzling her face, and wrapping her tail around her torso.
“It feels good to sleep next to you after such a long time.”
“…Really?”
Kim Hyun-woo swallowed the words, ‘But I feel like I’m going to die’ and chatted with Meryl for a while.
After some time had passed and it was late at night.
“Should we go to sleep now?”
Kim Hyun-woo stroked Meryl, who had been chattering away, and closed his eyes.
…Or at least he tried to.
“…Meryl?”
“What is it, master?”
“Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“I will.”
“Then why aren’t you closing your eyes?”
“I want to watch over you until you fall asleep.”
Kim Hyun-woo felt a strange sense of pressure as Meryl continued to stare at him with her eyes open.
“Don’t I see your face all the time anyway?”
“I want to see your sleeping face.”
“Why? Is there a reason?”
Meryl suddenly stopped talking and looked down when Kim Hyun-woo asked.
Kim Hyun-woo looked at her with a questioning expression as her face started to turn red.
“…Do you want to know?”
As Melynda subtly lifted her gaze, Kim Hyunwoo instinctively realized something.
That if he were to nod his head at this moment, he would be helplessly swept away by an irresistible current. So instinctively.
That’s why.
“…Ahem, I’ll hear about it next time. Then, good night?”
Kim Hyunwoo naturally changed the subject and smiled, then tried to close his eyes, but.
“Eep…!”
Soon, Kim Hyunwoo had no choice but to open his closed eyes.
The reason was that Melynda’s lips were on his.
Melynda, who seemed to be trying her best to show her effort, kissed him with her eyes tightly shut as if she were embarrassed, and then opened her mouth and stuck her tongue into Kim Hyunwoo’s mouth.
“!”
Melynda opened her eyes wide as if she were surprised that she had put her tongue in.
Soon, she met his gaze and blushed even redder than before, as if she were so embarrassed by this moment.
“Slurp-“
Nevertheless, as if she would never stop what she was doing, she clung to Kim Hyunwoo and continued the intense kiss.

Soon, after continuing the kiss like that.
“Ha-ha-“
Melynda, who was breathing heavily because the kiss was so awkward that she couldn’t breathe properly, looked at Kim Hyunwoo with watery eyes.
“…When I see the master sleeping, I feel happy because I feel like I’ve become the master’s wife.”
-She said, and as her words made Kim Hyunwoo’s heart pound like crazy, Melynda stroked his face once with her hand and then rolled her eyes around as if she didn’t know what to do.
“Perhaps, right now-“
She lowered her head slightly and raised her red eyes.
“Master too, same feeling…?”
That’s what she asked.
