Chapter 398 – 35. Saving Adlen Party
With a brief farewell, Han Si-woo and his party returned from Futashima.
The number of people increased by one compared to when we went.
The reason why I accompanied Miko was immediately announced to the group I moved with and upon my return.
Therefore, she immediately started preparing the rescue team without any time to rest.
“Ha, I can’t believe Adlen went missing in the dungeon…”
Would she have been okay if she had been in the Empire?
Han So-young was depressed due to such gloomy worries.
If you had to choose the closest person in the Glazer Empire, Adlen would definitely be in the top five.
A special relationship.
Adlen disappeared along with the entire party, and it’s been a month.
I don’t know anything else, but if Han So-young was at Glazer, news of her would have come soon.
Considering her status, there is a good chance.
“Maman. Don’t blame yourself.”
“Siwoo…”
“It must have been carried out in secret at Glazer, so what can I do? And if you look at the cause, it lies with me.”
This refers to first conquering one of the four major dungeons and publicizing the fact widely.
Of course it was unreasonable.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Haha, it’s the same with Maman.”
“Ugh.”
“So please don’t blame yourself and support me.”
“Siwoo, you?”
“Yes.”
Han Si-woo smiles and looks confident.
She had a smile that most of his harem members would fall in love with again, but to her, she was just cute and adorable.
I was very grateful that you said this.
“… Shall Maman go with us?”
Regardless of that, my concerns were the same.
“No. There is no need to go all the way to Maman. Dolumuz Dungeon is a rare place where there are no monsters inside, so it is better to go with a few people and save them quickly before leaving.”
What Siwoo said was right.
We have to save not just one or two, but as many as six people.
It’s been about a month since he went missing, and even if he could get there in the shortest time, it would take a week.
And the time it took to rescue.
By that time, no matter how much you save, you will run out of supplies.
“Besides, you can’t just go to Glazer and get stranded.”
“… Yeah, okay.”
The voice is dripping with regret, but the timing is not good this time.
Siwoo hugged Han Soyoung, who looked very sad, and kissed her forehead.
She sticks out her lips instead of her forehead to tickle him.
After patting Han So-young’s butt and enjoying a brief kiss as she felt a little relieved.
She told her to rest and left the room.
‘Then for now.’
There are four members of this rescue team, including him and Miko.
The remaining two were Rosaline, a scout in his party, and Belluna, a mage with impressive red hair.
Each person was appointed for a reason.
First, Rosalyn’s main role is to track.
Even though there is a shrine maiden Miko, premonitions and intuition are by no means omnipotent.
Secretly, it consumes a lot of stamina and sometimes accuracy can be low.
To make up for it, Rosaline has her skills and the blessing of tracking.
Also, she works as a scout and has a lot of knowledge about the desert and survival, which is a great help.
The other one is Belluna.
Han Ji-na is a member of the warrior’s party, but he thought he would need a wizard, so he asked them to do it.
The only wizard in his party is Gwen, a necromancer who specializes in one direction.
In any case, Han Si-woo’s goal is different from that of an ordinary hero, so there are no ordinary wizards.
Fortunately, not only Belluna but also her colleagues readily gave permission, so I was able to accompany Belluna.
Of course, I said I would get it right in bed later.
‘That’s something I’ll ask for.’
Departure is tomorrow morning.
Indeed, the Glazer Empire seemed to have invested a lot in this rescue and provided generous support.
Since we have decided to open all necessary warp gates, we plan to move in the shortest possible time.
The pure travel time to reach the dungeon entrance will probably take less than an hour.
“Let’s go and see if I’m well-prepared.”
As I was going down the stairs, I ran into Miko wandering around in the hallway.
“What are you doing here?”
“Ah, Siwoo.”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“I was just wandering around because I wanted to look around.”
“Sightseeing?”
Siwoo tilted his head.
Although the clan hideout is large and flashy, it is not a place with much to see.
Like other aristocratic mansions, there are not many artworks or decorations, and since there are only a few residents, half of the space is used as a warehouse.
I wonder if cleaning is the thing that maids do the most.
“Yes, this is where Siwoo lives. It feels special.”
“Oh, it’s kind of embarrassing to say that.”
Even so, the mansion hasn’t even been completed for a year.
Hero I spend more days outside for work and personal reasons.
I felt embarrassed seeing the somewhat sentimental appearance of the shaman.
“Hehe, it’s just a personal feeling.”
“Yeah… That could happen. So how about preparing?”
“I brought most of what I needed when I came from Futashima, and they said they would prepare the rest here.”
“Well, I guess that’s true.”
“The most important condition is… I should go to bed early this evening.”
“Okay, get some rest. Dolumuz Dungeon will be very difficult due to the sweltering heat.”
“Yes. … Thank you, Siwoo.”
“Haha. Uh.”
After a friendly conversation, I parted ways with Miko and headed down again.
When I think about it, it must have been her first time coming out of Futashima, so I felt sorry.
Since sightseeing can be difficult, would it be a good idea to at least treat them to special dishes from each country?
If we were rescued safely and had time, we decided to get some fresh air together.
‘Now that I think about it, we were vaguely together at the hot springs and then came out. Wow, thinking about it suddenly makes me sick…’
Her thoughts changed a little.
When she has some free time, I decide to enjoy the night with her instead of just cheating on her.
It is said that there is a tradition called Yobai in Futashima, and it seems like it would be fun to play against Miko as I couldn’t actually go there.
Perhaps because she was thinking of Futashima, this time she ran into Maki Senjo and Hikari Akayoru.
‘Is it because the area where it can be used is limited? Even just walking down the hallway, I strangely encounter people easily.’
“Ah, Haengnim!”
Siwoo was the first to spot it, but while he was thinking about something else for a moment, Maki, who made eye contact with him, smiled brightly and called out to him.
She was the only one in the clan who was treated like a female, but not long ago, she was now regarded as her proper younger sister, or rather, as a female.
Perhaps because she wasn’t in bed now, she was acting like an active little brother.
“Where are you going?”
“Go see Rosaline and Belluna.”
“Ah! I guess it’s because of the rescue team.”
“Yes. I’m sure you both prepared well on your own, but you still need to look at it once in a while.”
“As expected, Haengnim. He is sincere!”
As Maki, who has the biggest gap between herself and usual among the women he has held, talking like this makes working in Futashima feel like a dream.
‘It was so cute how he was impaled on his dick and begged for it, oppa.’
If things hadn’t turned out like this, he would have rested in Futashima and hugged me again, but I felt sorry.
“It’s the natural thing to do as a clan leader.”
Siwoo smiles differently than he thinks and strokes his red short hair.
Still, is it because the relationship has clearly changed?
Maki, who would have smiled brightly before, lowered his head with slightly red cheeks.
Even though our skin wasn’t touching, his shy face made me want to kiss him right away.
‘No, I have to endure it…’ . Umm. Should I just do it?’
Eyes turning to the side unconsciously.
Hikari just made eye contact and smiled.
“Just do it. Kiss.”
I flinch.
“… Do you see that?”
“Of course. They look like they’re going to eat our Maki.”
“It’s not that bad.”
“Uh, huh? Did you do that?”
Maki, who had not noticed, looked at Siu and Hikari in confusion.
However, he couldn’t rush to Siwoo and kiss him first.
“Well, later. I don’t think I can bear it if I kiss you now.”
“Ah, ah… Ugh, hehe♡”
“Huh. I like it~.”
Contrary to what she said, Hikari looked at her kind brother with eyes full of envy.
Si-woo, who remembered something from her seemingly more relaxed attitude, asked.
“How did the housework go? Was it resolved well?”
“It’s thanks to the clan master. They said that Futashima, or even Fox Island, will change a lot in the future. So, I originally ran away from home, but now I’m officially joining the family.”
“Haha. It hasn’t changed much.”
Although she didn’t have much conversation with Hikari, and they weren’t close, she heard a lot from Maki.
Regardless of her loyalty, she liked her party members very much and spoke about them often.
Thanks to this, I feel like she is somehow familiar, and I know her well.
If she is Hikari, she probably doesn’t keep in touch with her family even after she stops running away.
“Hmm.”
And the situation is not much different for Hikari.
After hearing so much about Siwoo from Maki, she became strangely fond of him.
I don’t think I have any particular partner in mind. Although there are many women, there are too many of them, but Siwoo is a good male.
Originally, they would have attacked Futashima once, but unfortunately, things went wrong.
“Do you know that?”
“If you don’t tell me, you won’t know.”
“Going out as a monk… Has other meanings other than leaving home with a will for something.”
“Hmm. I really don’t know.”
“When a woman gets married, it is called becoming a monk♡”
Han Si-woo is shocked by the surprise temptation of a beautiful woman with long black hair.
As she slightly put out her lips and whispered in a sexy voice, her impression seemed to change completely.
“Hey, Hikari-nee?!”
“Huh? Why?”
“Uh, that’s not it.”
Senjo Maki shouted at her in surprise and then slumped her shoulders.
I’ve already heard from her that she thinks Siwoo is okay, and she’s also secretly encouraged him.
But seeing this happen in front of her somehow made her heart feel sad.
“Hehe. Our Maki is still cute~.”
“Ugh. I know she’s cute, so I hope you don’t hug her too much.”
“Yes, yes. Okay!”
The two are close together like friendly sisters.
Siwoo slowly bowed and turned his back, as he had originally intended.
“Oh, by the way. I had something to say, but I have to say it now.”
“What should I say?”
Hikari stopped Siu and put her mouth on his ear.
Quite a serious expression.
I listened intently to see if there was anything important to say about Futashima or her family.
And what I heard was.
“There is a culture called Yobai on Futashima.”
It was a much more desirable temptation than before.
“… Huh?”
“Originally, the man hides in the woman’s bedroom, but sometimes the woman goes into the man’s bed♡”
“…”
“When you come back, please sleep with the door open for at least a day, okay?”
“… Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Hehe. Me too♥”
With her light steps, she steps away from Siwoo and hugs Maki again.
The two said hello again and walked in the opposite direction.
Perhaps because he had just heard those words, Siwoo stared at the buttocks of the girl with black hair.
