014. Level Up 1 Stack
“Phineas, are you sure this is the right way?”
“Yes! As you can see, we have reached the main road.”
“…Wait, weren’t we going back to the elf village?”
“Why would we? There’s nothing to see there except trees and grass, and it’s full of rude elves. Going back there would only harm our mental health.”
“I’m not without complaints, but wouldn’t it have been better to come out after spending a night in a warm house?”
“If you’re worried about your sleeping place, I have a very good idea!”
“What is it?”
But Phineas did not answer my question at all.
Instead, he spread his arms wide and twinkled his eyes at me.
What is he trying to do?
As I watched him quietly, Phineas pouted his lips as if he was dissatisfied.
“Master, you seem to have a lot of shyness in your personality.”
“Out of the blue?”
It would be fine if he explained and complained, but it’s difficult if he just says that.
I don’t know what his intention was for showing such a behavior just now.
“Do you dislike sleeping in my arms?”
“What…?”
“I’m not boasting, but I’m proud that my body is quite soft and warm. And my wings can be your windbreaker, but is that not enough for you?”
“What, that’s what it was? You should have explained it like that from the start.”
I walked confidently and nestled in his arms.
Why would I refuse a beautiful woman who says she will be my bedding?
Especially if that woman has wings that are the ultimate softness?
It would be strange to resist.
“How is it? Is my body warm?”
“That’s nice. It’s soft and warm all over, just like you said.”
“I’m glad to hear that!”
Phineas, who had suggested this, smiled contentedly.
It was amazing. Why did Phineas care so much about me?
Just because I was the one who hired her?
But considering Phineas’ effect, there would have been many others who would have used her if not me.
A card that was suitable for any deck as a mercenary.
She had both fame and popularity for her good performance.
It was awkward for me that such a card was paying so much attention to me.
By the way, I really don’t know anything about Phineas.
I wanted to learn more about her little by little.
“Then let’s spend the night cozy like this!”
“No, it’s okay.”
“What?”
“I feel good, but I feel sorry for you to sleep leaning on your body.”
“What do you mean by sorry?”
“Well, you can’t sleep in this position, can you?”
My head was on Phineas’ lap, and my upper body was on her knees.
I could fall asleep at any time, but Phineas couldn’t.
If it stayed like this, she would have to stay on her knees until morning.
I was speaking while bearing the weight of my upper body.
“Don’t worry about me. I can sleep well even in this state!”
“I’m not okay even if you say you’re okay.”
There was a tent and a sleeping bag in the backpack that the priestess had prepared for us.
We were planning to stay in the village, so we didn’t take them out, but now that the situation has changed, we might as well use them.
I gently detached myself from Phineas’s thigh, intending to start the action.
That’s when it happened.
“Ugh!!”
Whoosh-!
I heard a sound of cutting through the wind, and a sharp card flew and pierced through the backpack.
I was startled by the unexpected attack and fell back without realizing it.
But I quickly got up, ready for another possible attack.
“How come this world has no safe place at all!!”
“Calm down and come behind me! I will protect you, my master.”
Phineas swiftly moved me behind him.
He stood up and faced the direction where the card came from, acting as a shield.
I was worried that he might be in danger, but Phineas burned all the cards that came after that.
And then he took out something that looked like a weapon from his chest…it was also a card.
So you also fight with cards.
Phineas lit a fire on the card and threw it at the place where he expected the enemy to be.
The card that was flying fast soon caused a huge explosion at some point, burning the surrounding area.
But if this was the case, wasn’t there no need to use the card?
I scratched the back of my head, still unable to understand the worldview.
“Master, I’m done cleaning up!”
“…Uh-huh. I saw it too.”
“Well, then let’s go back to sleep comfortably?”
Phineas, who hugged me tightly and laid me on his legs again.
This time, he pressed my upper body with his wings so that I couldn’t get up.
“Phineas, you don’t have to sleep like this, you know?”
“I’m not okay. If they surprise us like before, it will be hard for me to protect you, Master. So please entrust your body to me.”
“Hmm, okay….”
It definitely looked like a normal camping had some security issues.
There was something that didn’t make sense, but maybe it would be better to sleep by Phineas’s side tonight.
When I showed that I would reluctantly follow him, Phineas started to smile brightly.
What the hell is this that he likes it so much….
I couldn’t understand it, but my body and mind were too tired to think deeply.
“Haaah…!”
“Are you very tired? You don’t have to worry about me and sleep comfortably.”
“Yeah….”
My eyes closed as soon as I relaxed.
It was shameless, but she decided to entrust her body to Phineas and fall into a nap for tonight.
*
His tightly closed eyes and regular breathing, and .
Phineas, who confirmed that Han Se-yoon had fallen into a deep sleep, whispered quietly to somewhere.
“You can come out now.”
Crack-!
At that word, a masked villain appeared from the grass.
The monster of the spy theme group, which received enthusiastic support from the maniac layer, was the black spy.
“The request was perfectly executed. You have no objections, right?”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work. I’ll ask you again from time to time.”
Phineas took out a card from his chest again and threw it to the black spy.
The black spy took the card and checked the contents, then disappeared with the wind.
There was some kind of back deal behind the incident.
But Han Se-yoon, who was sound asleep, had no idea.
‘hehehe…! The master’s sleeping face is always thrilling.’
The fact that it was caused by a woman’s desire.
***
Duel-! Duel-!
After a long night, I woke up to the shriek of a crazy bird.
The bird’s cry also showed the insane aspect of that worldview.
“`
I feel like all the common sense I have accumulated in my life is crumbling down.
“Good morning! Did you sleep well last night?”
“Yeah. Thanks to you, I slept well. But you…”
“I also slept soundly like you, master!”
From Noble mtl dot com
“You look like it…”
Somehow, Phineas’s skin looks much softer and fluffier than yesterday.
He doesn’t look like someone who couldn’t sleep a wink.
It’s amazing that he slept in such an uncomfortable position, but he looks more energetic than yesterday. I’m speechless.
But he’s not the same as a human, so I guess I have to let it go.
“By the way, where should we go now?”
“Before that, let’s eat first! You haven’t had a proper meal since yesterday, aren’t you hungry?”
“Oh, now that you mention it, I haven’t eaten anything except the canned food I had yesterday afternoon.”
“You have to fill your stomach to have a proper trip. That’s what I heard.”
“That’s not wrong.”
“Right? And luckily, I have some good meat in my hands, and I’m grilling it deliciously right now!”
“Meat?”
The word meat filled my mouth with saliva.
Some people might say that meat is too much for breakfast.
But I didn’t have the luxury to fuss over side dishes.
Anubis, who had prepared five days’ worth of food for me so that I wouldn’t starve.
“`
But the food she prepared for me was surprisingly a card called ‘combat ration’.
I was already dumbfounded by the idea of activating a card to eat, but the real problem was in the contents.
The illustration on the can showed that it was seafood bibimbap sauce.
There were other foods besides bibimbap sauce, but the rations filled with malice didn’t feel like I ate anything.
“Will you have some?”
“Of course!”
The skewered meat with a fragrant aroma handed to me.
As I blew on it and took a bite, the juice burst out and filled my mouth.
The meat was so tender that I didn’t even chew a few times before it melted away.
It was one of the most amazing tastes I had ever had in my life, ranking in the top three among all the meat I had eaten.
“What did you season it with?”
“Seasoning?”
Phineas tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
She didn’t season it at all and it tasted this heavenly?
What kind of meat was this that it was so delicious?
As I opened my mouth to ask, a heavy voice suddenly rang in my head.
[How dare you catch and eat my precious wild boar…! I will not let you off easily!!]
With a warning to prepare for divine punishment, the lively voice faded away.
I looked at Phineas in shock, wondering what this thunderbolt-like sound was.
She was eating the meat nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.
Did she not hear the voice filled with fury?
“Phineas, can you tell me what kind of meat this is?”
“It’s the meat of the Yellow Star Calydon.”
“Oh….”
A monster that is used for the Three Emperors God (三皇神) theme, a card that is needed to summon the Three Emperors God.
We were eating such a monster for our breakfast right now.
They would be angry since we ate their precious monster.
It was a natural consequence.
“Calydon meat, it’s really delicious.”
“Right? There was one more nearby, should I catch it?”
I unintentionally increased one enemy, but I didn’t care at all and bit into the meat.
‘What’s the big deal with the Three Emperors God…’
It was no problem even if they became enemies.
You guys are just wild boars.
She really scripted danger to get him closer lmao
