110 – Daily Life (1)
Vladimir Kim was imprisoned in room 203.
When he first opened his eyes, his face was full of fear. He seemed to think he was going to be tortured.
Of course, he didn’t do any torture or anything like that.
Because I don’t have any information to dig up and I don’t have a hobby of causing pain to others.
He simply gave the death sentence that he would be killed in six months.

Although the evil deeds he committed as the head of Liberation were unforgivable, he promised to let him go in peace at least as long as he went.
Only then did Vladimir’s complexion brighten slightly.
He seemed relieved just by being able to kill him without pain.
He had one reason to reassure him.
Because anxiety can build up to an extreme level of stress, and unexpected situations can occur.
For example, an accident such as committing suicide.
Since the body was restrained, there was no need to worry, but it was a requirement to leave behind unnecessary elements of anxiety.
I also regularly added food to suit his taste.
Because it is difficult to starve to death by fasting.
Contact was also avoided as much as possible.
I just placed a Scout Ant inside the room and monitored it.
Vladimir always looked up at the ceiling blankly, except when eating and sleeping. She seemed to have meekly accepted life as a terminally ill person.
Three months passed like that.
The Liberation collapsed and no major incidents occurred.
We continued our academy life as usual, always hanging out together, building up many memories step by step.
And today was the day I went on a dungeon outing with Baek So-ah.
***
After we finished hiking in the morning to warm up her body, Baek So-ah and I headed straight to the dungeon.
“The date spot is a dungeon…”
Baek So-ah spoke in a somewhat disapproving tone.
It wasn’t even a complaint.
I corrected Baek So-ah’s words.
“It’s not a date, it’s just an outing, but they always say it’s a date.”
“If a woman and a man hanging out together isn’t a date, what is it? “Stop acting like Sukmaek and just admit it.”
“If you admit that, you’ll become a piece of trash who dates different women every day.”
“Isn’t that right?”
“······.”
“Phew. What are you doing with a straight face again? Just kidding. Just kidding. “Let’s go in quickly.”
Baek So-ah walked quickly past me and stamped her registration card on her inspection artifact. I followed right away.
[Semi-special explorer. Baek So-ah’s entry record has been registered.]
[Semi-special explorer. Hyunseong Lee’s entry record has been registered.]
The place we came to was my own level 5 dungeon.
This is the place where I first met Baek So-ah, and it is also the place where we built our relationship, so I wanted to stop by at least once.
For reference, the explorer level reached semi-special level the day before yesterday.
I have sufficient skills, but I could not become a top explorer.
To become a special offer, you need more than 5 years of experience.
─Hee hee! It’s a date!
On days when I was with Baek So-ah, Kaebi was always with me.
The monster stretched out her arms and jumped out in front of her in a comical pose.
When the 1-star demon monster rushed to the place where the group of dwarves were, the dwarves foamed at the mouth and fainted just from facing her. Not a single one is left out.
This was the gap between 5 stars and 1 star.
‘At first, I lured them in and caught them one by one… ‘It’s a memory too.’
When I saw the sight of a hundred dwarves being defeated in just one second, I burst into laughter.
“Which way will you take this time?”
Baek So-ah stopped in front of the three-way intersection and asked.
I pointed to the right path leading to the boss room.
“Let’s go straight to the boss room.”
“Oh what? “You mean you have some money now?”
“Because Baptong is making good money… “There are not enough fragments, but there are too many.”
Of course, the more fragments the better, and it is better to take as many magic stones as possible.
But now, since time was like gold, I decided to give up.
After going through the dungeon, I had to go to an underwear store, a cafe, and a movie theater, so my schedule was tight.
I couldn’t waste time filling in extra fragments and making a little more money.
“Okay then, let’s get this over with quickly. Ah! “I’m going to catch that damned dwarf leader, so don’t touch him?”
Baek So-ah was talking about what kind of dungeon the date was for, but when he came in, he was the most excited.
I quickly followed Baek So-ah, who was leading the way.
***
Shoo!
When Baek So-ah opened the door to the boss room, an arrow flew fiercely at him.
She stood proudly with her hands on her waist without any intention of blocking or dodging.
Kang!
The arrow hit Baek So-ah’s head directly.
However, no damage was inflicted.
Rather, the arrow broke and rolled around on the floor without a handle.
“hehehe. “Did you see it?”
“······What?”
“Have you not seen that it doesn’t matter if you get hit?”
Baek So-ah ignored her boss in front of her and looked at me with a triumphant expression.
Does this mean you didn’t have to stop it last time?
“Okay. “I went out in vain last time.”
“Huh? No, I didn’t mean that… Why are you sulking again?!”
“Why are you sulking?”
“You just have a sulky expression on your face!”
“How do you do something like this?”
“······Ah, anyway! Don’t get me wrong, I’m always grateful for those days! “I just wanted to let you know that my brain is strong!”
Baek So-ah waved her hands in confusion and quickly gave an explanation.
Was that funny?
─Kiririk!
The dungeon boss, the dwarf captain, sneered while fixating her gaze on Baek So-ah. It was like watching a third-rate play.
“What are you splitting again?”
Baek So-ah’s eyebrows twitched.
I saw small flames fluttering all over my body, and it seemed like my anger was welling up again.
Even after taking medicine, there is no sign of improvement.
Should I increase the dosage by five times?
That dwarf leader also kept arsenic without notice.
─Kiririk!
“Stop laughing, you dwarf!”
Baek So-ah swung her arm with all her might.
Then, a huge flame swept the entire boss room in an instant.
The dwarf leader was reduced to ashes and absorbed into the dungeon without even realizing his death.
“Something that doesn’t matter is making me angry. Search. Ah. “I already killed him.”
······I really need to consult a doctor soon and increase my medication dosage.
***
“But Hyeonseong, are you cleaning this dungeon yourself? Every week?”
“Huh? No? I only come in person sometimes, but most of the time I leave it to my summons. You know that gargoyle you saw at the beginning of the dungeon? “He’s in charge of cleaning here.”
“Ah. Was that a gargoyle? “It’s smaller than a dwarf, so I thought it was just a decoration.”
After finishing cleaning the dungeon, we went downtown for our next schedule.
The first place I stopped by was an underwear store.
This is a place I have become a regular customer of as I often buy Gkaebi’s underwear.
We were choosing various underwear based on the staff’s recommendations.
In the meantime, Baek So-ah smiled and spoke.
“But when I followed you secretly before, I saw you buying underwear here and thought you had a strange hobby? So you gave me a bra as a gift. “hehehe.”
“······Even if you misunderstand, what kind of misunderstanding do you have?”
“I thought I would do that because I tend to respect tastes. And when you say you like the gift, how can I not misunderstand it?”
“I said thank you because I thought it was a gift… “No, wait a minute, Baek So-ah, did you follow me around like Seo Han-bit?”
“Huh? Oh no! It would be rude to compare him to Seo Han-bit! “Did I follow you appropriately?”
“That’s it…”
We exchanged trivial conversations and chose Kkaebi’s underwear.
While we were here, we decided to buy underwear for Pingping and Bobtong. Honestly, I don’t think I need a rice bowl, but I’ll be upset if I don’t buy it.
“Thank you! Come again!”
Afterwards, I had a great day by stopping by a cafe and going to the movies.
‘I went hiking in the morning and went to a dungeon, so I’ve done almost everything I needed to do.’
It wasn’t very fun, but once this passes, it will become a memory.
The sunset has already set.
─I’m tired. Give me a piggyback ride.
I moved to the final location with the limp kkaebi on my back.
All along the way, Baek So-ah asked her to carry him too, but she thought it was a joke and ignored it.
While I was walking like that.
“Hyeonseongniim······. You know that you have an appointment with me tomorrow, right? “You have to go to bed early…”
Seo Han-bit’s voice came out from under the sewer on the street.
I guess he was being followed again.
It wasn’t surprising anymore, so she calmly answered that she understood and then continued moving.
***
The place we arrived at was Baek So-ah’s mansion.
It feels like a chaebol house that often appears in dramas, so it feels somehow familiar.
It wasn’t as luxurious as I thought, so she didn’t look around like a country girl.
However, there was one thing that caught her eye.
When I saw the statue installed in the yard, I froze in place.
“This is a bit…”
“It’s embarrassing, so stop looking and come quickly. “Dinner is getting cold.”
Baek So-ah grabbed my arm and led me into her mansion.
During that process, my eyes never left the statue.
‘······In a way, it’s amazing.’
It was a statue over 5 meters tall, modeled after Baek So-ah and her father.
After entering the mansion like that.
I walked down a long hallway and arrived at the dining room.
“It’s a little late.”
And the current president of the association and the father of Baek So-ah welcomed us.
