The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 138

138 – 132. Sub-protagonist, working-4

“I would like to ask you first, but what is the reason for keeping Dorothy alive and imprisoned?”

“Because Dorothy’s survival might depend on the conditions in the Chamber of Secrets.”

“I understand that, but isn’t the restraint method strange!”

“I learned from Marianne. Although the appearance is strange, the binding force is certain.”

“No matter what, that is too… ….”

Dorothy is tied up on the ceiling of the laboratory.

Marianne’s whole body was tied tightly in the form of tortoiseshell tying that Marianne’s squirrel showed off.

The more she resisted, the deeper the rope dug in, and she could never untie it with her own strength.

It would be difficult if someone committed suicide, so I tied it up securely.

It may be a bit of a grim sight in the eyes of others, but the performance is certain.

“Maybe a bit envious… ….”

“What did you just say?”

“Oh, nothing! Come on, let’s go to the next one!”

Prach, startled, started pushing me on the back.

Looking at it from the side, it seems like it was a yearning gaze, but Prach seems to have a bit of that kind of talent as well.

But I don’t know how to tie the sword.

“What kind of place is next and what kind of monster is waiting for you?”

When I had my doubts, Prach hurriedly changed the subject.

If you tease me, I’ll just get angry. She agreed to tune in to her tune.

“The next place we will go is the ‘Sheep Library’.”

“A sheep’s library?”

“As much as the legacy of Pelex lies dormant in this dungeon, there are many things related to him during his lifetime.”

The flower garden was Pelex’s favorite place.

The Wizard of Oz was a children’s book that Pelex loved.

And sheep are Pelex’s favorite animal, and the library was where he spent most of his life.

“By the way, the final boss of the dungeon is the existence that Pelex hated the most during his lifetime became a monster.”

“It’s an unexpectedly easy dungeon.”

“For those who don’t know about Pelex, it will be an unknown dungeon.”

A bondi dungeon has a fixed theme.

Erotic dungeons such as the lava dungeon, the dungeon of the dead, and the dungeon of lust have distinct themes.

This dungeon has no choice but to be a dungeon related to Pelex in line with its purpose.

“Man-eating plants appear in the flower garden, monstrous monsters appear in the laboratory, and now it is a library……. It will be difficult for others to understand.”

“That’s right.”

“Then, at the Sheep Library, you defeat monsters in the form of sheep, right?”

“Unfortunately, there are no monsters in this section. So I probably won’t have to take you out.”

“You mean there is nothing to fight for?”

“Yes. This is the main thing to use this time.”

I tapped my head with my fingers.

It means that this section requires wisdom, not combat.

Dungeons include elements such as releasing traps and escaping from mazes, rather than just fighting monsters.

Just as we headed to the deepest part while playing hide-and-seek with Snow Woman in the Dungeon of Jealousy, Yang’s library is also an escape from the labyrinth.

“Isn’t this body going to be active like this…?” ….”

“hahahaha, it’s a dungeon that was once called the sage of the future, isn’t it strange to just fight recklessly?”

“After hearing it, I can’t refute it.”

The first section is observation and response, the second section is brute force, and the third section is wisdom.

Pelex’s dungeon had a strong tendency to test intruders, not simply to exclude them.

As a prophet, he must have known from the beginning that his tomb would turn into a dungeon.

Pelex must have hoped that someone from a later generation would clear this dungeon.

In other words, not only the reward of the dungeon is his legacy, but the dungeon itself is his legacy.

“I have arrived.”

“Again, it is a door that does not fit at all with an underground cave.”

“Because inside is a library. I can’t help it.”

I stood in front of the antique door and looked around.

The surrounding scenery was an infallible cave, but in front of us there was a door like a tee in the jade.

As described in Adog Choi.

I opened the door, convinced that it must be the amount of library.

Then the library’s distinctive smell of paper entered my nose.

“Mee~!”

The sheep that greets us… Yang Soo-in, who had fluffy and white hair like a sheep, approached.

Unlike Dorothy, this beastman was identical to a human woman except for the ears, eyes, horns, and hair around the shoulders.

“Welcome to Yang’s library!”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Meh… ?”

Yang Soo-in opened her eyes wide and round after just saying hello.

I smiled at her rather startled look.

“Why is that?”

“Meet! Sin, sorry! I was surprised because it was the first customer who didn’t attack Meryl even after seeing it!”

At the point Merrill mentioned, the second mistake of Junhyeok Kang’s party appeared.

At first, Meryl, who lives in Yang’s library, treats everyone amicably.

However, those excited by the fight in the first and second sections tend to attack her as soon as they see her.

She thought that she was also a monster, and she made an arbitrary conclusion.

Even if she manages to control her arousal, there are words to get rid of Meryl from those who feel suspicious.

In the original work, Kang Jun-hyeok hesitated to fight, but reluctantly took up the sword due to the opposition of his colleagues.

Meryl suddenly disappeared, turning her back on the hostile Kang Jun-hyeok party.

After that, the party regrets knowing that Yang’s library is a section that requires wisdom.

With the help of Meryl, the librarian at the library, she would have been able to carry out the raid more comfortably.

‘But I know I’m alone and that Meryl is no enemy.’

Therefore, I was able to intuitively see a route different from the original.

It is possible to attack the library with Meryl, which no one has ever done before.

“Do you want to fight? Then I can do whatever you want.”

“Meet! Meryl is a pacifist! First of all, she says fighting is forbidden in the library!”

As I pretended to fight, Meryl hurriedly waved her hand, revealing her infidelity.

Too embarrassed, she was flapping her sheep’s ears up and down her.

Looking at the dialogue in the original, she guessed that Meryl might be cute, but she got it right.

Like an innocent sheep, her behavior was frank and straightforward.

“Ahahahaha! Just kidding, I have no intention of fighting you.”

“Meeh…. It’s cool for a moment. Please refrain from such pranks as much as possible!”

“Sorry.”

“Since you apologized honestly, I’ll let Meryl go over specially this time!”

Meryl, who puffs out her cheeks, then puts them back in.

Quickly losing her temper, she took out the book she was wearing under her armpit and opened it.

“Mee~! So now, for first-time visitors to the library, Merrill will explain the rules at the library!”

“Please.”

Merrill’s explanation, which was not in the original work, continued.

Don’t make a lot of noise, don’t run around, don’t eat, don’t damage books, etc.

It wasn’t boring even though it was telling the common library rules.

Meryl’s vocalizations are so sweet that she feels like she’s listening to her grandmother’s stories from her childhood.

“Did you understand?”

“Yeah, perfectly understood.”

“Mee~! Great! Then she will start guiding the library in earnest! Please follow Meryl!”

What will happen if we attack Meryl without rejecting it?

Being able to directly confirm her curiosity, I followed her as she walked with her gun.

“This is the first gateway! If you solve the mystery hidden inside, you will pass!”

“Okay.”

Even if Meryl joined, the problems and solutions were the same as in the original.

I took out a note hidden behind the bookshelf in an instant and quickly started solving it.

Only 5 minutes. It was the time it took to solve the riddle of the first gateway.

Of course, I already knew the answer without solving it.

Can’t you tell the correct answer without looking at the problem in the presence of Merrill?

At least show the solution process so she won’t be suspicious.

“Wow, that’s great! Solving the first gate so quickly!”

“I just got lucky.”

“Mee~! No need to be humble! The customer is the only one who clears the first gate within 10 minutes!”

Seeing Meryl’s reaction, I thought I solved it without hesitation.

I think I should show a somewhat worried reaction.

I made up my mind to thoroughly act from the next gateway.

“Ummm… ! This problem is quite difficult.”

“It’s okay! If you are a guest, you can definitely solve it!”

“Thank you for your support. I’ll be thinking about it for a while, so would you like to go to a chair and rest?”

“Mee~! All right!”

The moment I decided to play around instead of worrying.

“Out!”

From noble mtl dot com

War-!

Meryl, who was walking along smoothly, suddenly tripped on her bookshelf and the book fell.

Like René, she’s naive, but I thought she wasn’t the type to jump around…….

I went over to help Merrill and put away her books.

“Mehehehe… ! Sorry! I accidentally tripped her!”

“You should have been careful… huh?”

Below Meryl’s ankles.

I happened to see a book that had fallen there.

From the title, it was a book related to the problem of this gateway.

When I picked it up and skimmed through the contents, the correct answer was clearly written.

“Oh….”

I lifted her eyes three times and looked at Meryl.

She was tidying up her bookshelf, singing her humming song, as if to distract herself.

Is it a coincidence? Is it intentional?

Since I don’t know yet, I decided to move on.

But at the next gate, at the next gate, at the next gate.

Meryl subtly faked a mistake and helped me.

Then, when I answered correctly, they visibly praised me and patted my ears.

[It’s a sheep with a surprisingly sloppy side]

‘Sure. I didn’t expect to give hints so blatantly…….’

I’ve noticed that having Meryl makes the difficulty dramatically easier.

Kang Jun-hyeok, you asshole.

To leave such an easy path behind and take a difficult path.

Because I was dumbfounded, the corners of my mouth kept moving.

In that way, I passed the last gate and easily broke through the third section.

As he gave lots of hints, even an elementary school student could solve it.

I’m suddenly worried about whether it can be this easy.

“Congratulations! The guest has passed all the gates!”

“Thank you. Was it very difficult to guide you?”

“Mee~! It’s not like that. The customer solved the problem so quickly that Meryl never got tired!”

“Then I’m glad.”

If you have Meryl, what happens, the difficulty of the gate becomes very easy.

The ending was a bit disappointing, but I think it was a treat just to see the cute Meryl.

I was about to leave her library, thanking her and thanking her.

Until Meryl grabbed my hem.

“Mee~! Customer! Just wait a minute!”

“What’s up?”

“That….! The gateway is over, but there is still one extra problem left!”

“Extra trouble?”

“Mee! It’s a question that Meryl gives herself, and if you get this right, you’ll get a huge reward!”

As expected, it can’t just end!

My cheekbones went up at the word compensation.

An opportunity given by winning Meryl’s favor.

Although I don’t know the answer to this question, I will definitely get it right.

With that in mind, I listened to Merrill’s problems.

“Mee~! That’s a problem! When is a sheep in heat?”

“…… Huh?”

#1. Today

#2. Today.

No. 3. Recently.

No. 4. Today.

#5. This day.

“What is this… ?”

“By the way, this problem is somewhat difficult, so I will give you a hint and start!”

Meryl, who was smiling, came up to me with her gunfire and whispered in my ear.

“Goat’s wrinkles are bigger than you think… !”

Meryl took a step back before she could finish her words.

There was her face with flushed cheeks.

At last, Meryl’s red lips parted slightly, and a coquettish sob escaped from within.

“Mee~♡”

It was a resonance trap.
