Chapter 87 – Hey Naru Kang! It’s Just One Time! (1)
***
Jiing.
After clearing the dungeon, he came out of the portal with his friends.
I could see fish people packed into the plaza.
A grand spectacle where everyone pays attention to themselves.
Aquinas, puzzled at first, realized the reason and smiled.
“… Is it. Did everyone gather to congratulate us?”
The first party to clear an impossible dungeon.
We who will be recorded in history.
The leader of the party is Aquinas.
Aquinas lifted his head and raised his voice.
“I, Aquinas and his associates, did it!”
She flashed the bronze statue in her hand.
Loot from the last room.
It was a bronze statue of Micah’s owner Illar’s body.
“I proudly declare it to the world! Our Aquinas team has succeeded in clearing a dungeon that no one else has been able to achieve!”
Whoops, now it’s time to hear enthusiastic cheers and applause.
Contrary to expectations, however, the response is not cold.
No cheers were heard.
“What is he saying?”
“Why are you so proud after failing to attack?”
“Don’t you know that they were tricked?”
Boos erupting from all sides.
Derision.
Insulting ridicule.
Aquinas was perplexed.
“Uh, what happened? Why are they like that?”
At that time, a person was seen in the crystal restraints installed all over the plaza.
Naru Kang.
He was still running around the dungeon.
“We didn’t attack… ?”
Only then did Aquinas realize that they had failed, and his face turned red and blushed.
A fish-man approached and opened his mouth, clearing his throat.
“It’s noisy, so stop going down.”
“I’m sorry!”
Aquinas disappeared from the stage as if to flee with his comrades.
… …
… …
… …
…
…
…
…
“Kyaaak!”
Aquinas, waking up, kicked off the covers and jumped up.
“Damn it! Why again!”
Why did the embarrassing and embarrassing day appear in my dream!
Even weeks later, his face still burned when he thought about it.
“It’s all because of Naru Kang!”
I try to rationalize by swearing at a strict person.
Still, he eventually bit his lip thinking he had done something stupid.
“I should quickly erase it with another adventure.”
If you post achievements worth bragging about to the world, you will naturally be forgotten.
It won’t even come to mind in 3 years.
‘I am Aquinas, an exceptional adventurer that everyone respects.’
So comforting, he picked up the clothes he had taken off and put them on.
Now, this is your own resting place in the guild.
I woke up in the late afternoon after sleeping in only my underwear for a while.
“Oh I found it! Aquinas!”
After tidying up my clothes and leaving the room, a guild employee hurriedly ran over.
“Cow, a guest has come!”
“Customer?”
The staff whispered in my ear with a flushed face as if some great person had come.
“Do not be surprised. Naru Kang from the Thunderfield Guild has arrived. I am waiting for Aquinas in the lobby right now.”
“Omg!”
Aquinas was frightened and covered his mouth.
‘That, that child, no way… ?’
Are you here to take the bet?
A sudden fear welled up.
“Me, me, say no!”
“Yes? Why?”
The terms of the bet that I made pathetically a few weeks ago.
Buy rice.
Do whatever the other person tells you to do throughout the day.
Follow the adventure for a month.
Absolutely childish stuff.
‘I can’t even die!’
What would a famous adventurer like himself do under whom!
If you fulfill your wager, you will not only suffer shameful humiliation, but the public will laugh at you.
It’s called Naru Kang.
“Anyway, tell me! Go back!”
“I thought you were already there?”
“You fool! Hurry up and check again and tell them it wasn’t there!”
It was the moment when he pushed the employee’s back and was about to hurriedly jump out of the hallway window.
Suddenly, lightning strikes.
“Aquinas.”
A familiar voice came out of nowhere.
“… “
Aquinas became contemplative and looked blankly at the source of the sound.
In front of the stairs going down to the second floor.
There was a person I never wanted to see.
He was the first to conquer the fish-man dungeon, which was impossible to conquer.
He was a man who stood on the side of the queen and made the greatest achievement in subjugating the rebels.
“Here you are.”
He approached with a creepy smile.
***
After work, I headed straight to the Snowcloaks Guild.
It was the guild that Aquinas belonged to.
‘If I go to the guild and ask, I’ll be able to find out where she is.’
Aquinas is an adventurer that everyone knows, so he will definitely keep his bet.
When I am limping.
At that time, she was the one who was often mentioned as the number one priority in Queen Isabella’s mouth.
She was as good as she was.
When a famous person doesn’t keep a promise, nothing hurts his reputation more than that.
Trust is life for adventurers.
Even if I’m afraid, I’ll definitely try to protect it.
“Hmm? Are you sure you are not Hero Kang Na-ru?”
Upon entering the Snow Cloak Guild, the guild members and staff immediately recognized me.
Some crumpled their teeth,
“Why is the Son of Thunderfield here?”
Some were amazed
“Oh oh! Naru Kang visiting our guild!”
He rushed out to the guild leader and greeted me.
“Why did you come to our guild?”
When I roughly explained that I had come to collaborate with Aquinas for a while, they were delighted.
“This is something that will help both guilds! Go ahead and call Aquinas!”
Oh dear.
The face of the head of the Snow Cloak Guild was so excited.
You know you’re doing something great.
It’s not a big deal, but it’s cool.
Anyway, the guild leader invited me to go up to Aquinas’ room.
While asking the two of them to have an in-depth conversation there.
So I went up the stairs and saw Aquinas in the hallway on the third floor.
I smiled and waved.
“Hey, Aquinas.”
“Omg!”
She slumped in her place, terrified as if she had seen a ghost.
“Hey, why are you here?”
“Why are you here, did you forget our bet?”
“Huh!”
“Why are you surprised? You don’t want to do it?”
Aquinas flinched and quickly corrected his expression.
“My, when did I say I didn’t want to do it? It’s because I’m angry because you suddenly came to me without saying anything.”
She got up from her seat and brushed off her cloak.
She puffed out her voluptuous breasts.
“I waited for several days and he didn’t come, so I decided to go instead.”
“Fortunately, you remembered.”
“Of course! I’m the type of person who always keeps a word I utter!”
“Good. Shall we go out and have dinner together?”
“Me, dinner?”
“Did you forget the bet? You were supposed to buy me food first. I will get it today.”
“Ah… “
She is the one who makes her cry.
With her shoulders drooping, she followed me in silence.
“Where should we go? We should go to the most expensive place possible.”
I was excited at the thought of getting a free meal.
We went in search of the most expensive and delicious restaurant in the capital.
“This is the first time we have eaten together. Well, we didn’t know each other well until now. I learned about it thanks to the fish-man dungeon.”
“I shouldn’t have known… “
Aquinas, who was sitting across from me, looked down at the table and sighed.
All the way up to here, he seemed weak, and he still seemed weak.
I can understand her feelings.
It’s going to be like dying for me to do my own shit in the future.
It was fun to watch the devastated expression on her face as she was forced into it.
“I’m done buying rice now, and it’s one day to eat it. When I go on an adventure for a month, I will go with him, but he won’t listen if I ask him to do strange things. Be sure to know.”
“Do whatever you feel like. And you have that day. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, bring all of your party members and give them a daily lecture at the academy I attend.”
“A daily instructor?”
“I’m going to a kids’ game next week, but I need some guidance from seasoned adventurers.”
“Are you kidding me?”
Aquinas couldn’t keep his mouth shut, saying that it was absurd.
“Do you know how much my lecture fee is? It’s a good breed of warhorse, and it’s three. There are many other things to take care of. But do you want to do it for free?”
She expressed her dislike strongly.
Anyway, I have to do it if I do.
Because I lost the bet.
“I said teach the kids You don’t intend to break it, do you?”
“Ha, but… !”
“Your tongue is long.”
“Kuu… !”
She bit her lip in anger.
Just in time, the dish came out.
It was quickly served on the table in abundance.
“I’ll eat delicious rice.”
I smiled and picked up the spoon.
***
Aquinas chewed her lips carefully and just watched Naru eat.
There were so many things I wanted to say, but I held back.
She was upset
‘It’s humiliating to have to obey a competitor’s words.’
But I can’t keep it.
‘Shit… !’
It was then.
I could feel the eyes around me.
It was not from one or two eyes, but from many people.
Aquinas glanced around.
Restaurant patrons were whispering this way.
“Aren’t those people Hero Kang Na-ru and Aquinas, the Empress of Adventure?”
“Two big men sitting down to eat together, what is it? Did something big happen?”
“I don’t know, but the fact that those two are together must have happened something significant that will go down in history. We may be watching a scene from history right now.”
“Isn’t the kingdom threatened by an evil entity?”
“Anyway, those two are really cool sitting like that. The atmosphere is great.”
“Did you think so too? I thought it was a great sight.”
“Big.”
Aquinas cleared his throat gracefully.
She straightened her posture, sat down, and immediately picked up the spoon.
After she ate a spoonful of meat soup, she suddenly smiled kindly at Naru.
“The food in this house is good.”
What happened in the past.
At this point, rumors that she had a close relationship with Kang Na-ru didn’t seem too bad.
Hanging out with Naru was an advantage for him as well.
‘Jwasik, I’ll look after you.’
